Mockingbirb


A pony of mystery in the darkness. Or I forgot to take the lens cap off. (They/them is fine.)

Scootaloo visits Sunset Shimmer, and learns something horrifying about the differences between two worlds.


Written as an entry in the 2023 Cyberpunk Nightmare Night Story Contest, for reasons. ('some effects of computer technology on society')

This story also started as a draft for the Sunset X Villain AU contest, but...life and stuff kind of got in the way of making contest deadline. 'You know how it goes sometimes.'

I can already imagine the tearful goodbye she had to give to her Human friends... :fluttercry:

There isn't much narrative over the central point, but it's still a haunting piece in its matter-of-fact tragedy. Nicely done.

Only complaint, Tempest isn't crimson.
Such a tragic reason Sunset went back to Equestia here. I thought something bad would have happened to human Scootaloo, but Sunset being crippled by a school shooter I did not expect. While yes she can have a "normalish" life in Equestia her magic is now focused just on letting her do normal things, no more advanced spells, as her magic has to be her limbs.
Scootaloo actually has it less rough than she thinks, Equestia still has primitive flying machines, but she'll never fly under her own power.

This is a great story! I don't blame Sunset for wanting to leave the human world after that traumatic event. Don't know how her friends took the news that she was leaving them permanently, though.

Why would we think this is a ghost story?

Being targeted in a school shooting. No wonder Sunset came back to Equestria. Were it's sane, were ponies are good. Were the bad guys are defeated with friendship instead of being in control since the begining of history.
