> Rainbow Dash's Let's Plays > by Stormin Away > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- > EPISODE 1: Slender > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- There was a small bit of static, then a lavender hoof filled up the screen, "Okay, now it should be on" a voice commonly recognized as Twilight Sparkle spoke as what appeared to be a room filled with bookshelves appeared on the screen. Two mares, a cyan one appeared on the left, a lavender one on the left, "Alright Rainbow, think you can set yourself up?" Twilight asked to the pegasus, "Yup!" Rainbow Dash replied happily, "Alright, if you ever need me just yell" Twilight responded then exited the room, closing the door behind her. Rainbow just hopped into an office chair sitting in front of one of Twilight's workdesk. From there, she reached over to the camera and started poitioning it to face her at an angle. Once the camera was in place, Rainbow's face was fully visible, but a computer monitor filled a small fraction of the left side of the screen, "Okay, everything's in place..." Rainbow said to herself as she scooted up to the desk, "and now... SLENDER" Rainbow added with a dramatic tone. moving the mouse a little, soft clicking noises were heard, and the light from the monitor darkened dramatically, "Okay... light's OFF" Rainbow stated as she flipped off the only lamp behind the camera. The brightness of the screen dimly illuminated her face, "Well so much for a title screen" Rainbow said to herself as she clicked "Start game" on the screen. Soon, grass footsteps projected from the speakers, and the light again illuminated Rainbow's face, "Collect all 8 pages..." Rainbow read from the screen as she moved the character to her left, hoping to find one of these pages, "So, you're in the Everfree Forest looking for pieces of paper? Totally makes sense" Rainbow questioned as she came upon a strange looking tree, "Yup... this is definately the everfree forest" Rainbow said to herself as she walked slowly around it, "Of course, every game known to ponykind has to make you walk slow as... Oh hey, a page!" Rainbow stated to herself as she got around the tree, catching a glimpse of a piece of paper. Once she picked it up, a frightening gust of wind sounded, but Rainbow continued on her way. After a little more walking, she noticed a broken blue truck sitting in front of a fairly detailed shed. On the side lay another page, so Rainbow grabbed this page in silence, and continued on her way with a slightly scared look on her dimly lit face. Rainbow's character soon came up to a fork in the road, "I swear if anything scary happens when I go down one of these roads..." Rainbow said to herself as she headed down the right path. About halfway down, Rainbow turned around out of paranoia, to see a human looking figure with no face, a business suit, and skinny limbs a good distance behind her, "*Deep Gasp* OHMYGOSHWHATTHE..." Rainbow screamed out of startlement as a loud banging noise came on upon seeing this. Rainbow was now a good 10 feet away from her desk, carrying a startled look, she slowly wheeled herself back up to the desk, while the ingame camera was pointed up into the sky, "WHA... WHAT THE HAY WAS THAT!?" Rainbow Dash said to herself out of fright. She soon moved the camera back toward the direction she was supposed to be going, then continued on through the forest. She almost immediately came upon a brick building, soon coming around towards the entrance, "I'd rather not" Rainbow said to herself in a slightly shaky voiceas she stopped and stared towards the entrance into the building. After a little more walking in Rainbow's original direction, she came upon a bunch of oil tanks, one of these having a note on the end, "Oh thank Celestia, another note" Rainbow said out of relief to herself as a louder whisp of fog came about when she grabbed it. She froze as she stared back towards the building, "I don't have a choice do I..." Rainbow said as her voice grew shaky again. Once she entered, she almost immediately came upon a suspicous looking chair. However, she ignored this and continued to search the building. At the end of a long room lie the next note. Out of relief, Rainbow tried to walk as fast as possible toward this note, until a loud blip of static occured as she walked, startling her immensely. Now breathing heavy, Rainbow grabbed the 4th note and immediately getting out of the house. Turning left, she caught a glimpse of the strange figure again, making the screen go a little more fuzzy, and making Rainbow almost bawl, "P-P-P-PLEASE I WONT STARE AT YOU, JUST GO AWAY!" Rainbow screamed aloud to the empty room as she became soaked in sweat and shaking like a filly. Blindly heading left, Rainbow could hear creepy whisps of wind as she moved along. Her eyes darting around the pitch black room, Rainbow wanted to scream for Twilight so badly, but her gut made her trudge on. Growing disoriented from fear, Rainbow blindly headed right, the noises growing louder, and growing even more frightened. Coming upon a brick structure, Rainbow quickly jerked her camera behind her, and right in front of her face was the figure, taking up the whole monitor, making the screen go all static. Out of sheer fright, Rainbow's wings skyrocketed her out of the chair, bashing her head on the ceiling, and throwing her diagonally into the bookshelves at the back of the room. Lieing on the ground, she could see the monitor as if it was in front of her face, and pasted on it was a shrill static noise that occasionally flashed a very creepy picture of what looked like a really realistic faceless figure with a business suit on. From this, Rainbow Dash, for the first time in her life, ear-piercingly screamed at the top of her lungs. The room fell pitch black again as Rainbow's head fell on the ground, hypervenilating, tired from the loud scream she had just produced. Suddenly, a beaming light filled the room, "RAINBOW!" A worried Twilight Sparkle screamed into the dark room. Rainbow regained conciousness and stared at the sillouhette of a unicorn who stood in the light, soon dashing over to flip on the lamp, "Rainbow? Are you okay?" Twilight urgently asked to the cyan pegasus, who lay on the ground with books all over her back, and wincing at the light the lamp was producing, "Don't ever make me play that game again!" Rainbow yelled out of fright as Twilight helped Rainbow on her hooves and out the door, "What did I tell ya? Everyone I know who played it got scared the same you did, Dash" Twilight replied normally, "Now, I need to go for a flight just to get that THING out of my head! So good-bye!" Rainbow Dash angrily said as she left the library. > EPISODE 2: Minecraft Parkour > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- The camera was where Rainbow Dash had left it since the previous day, when she played Slender on Twilight's computer. As she had walked into the room with her lavender unicorn friend at her side, Twilight spoke up, "Now Rainbow, I chose a game a lot less scary then the last one, considering you almost knocked yourself unconcious and almost tore your vocal chords" Twilight spoke as Rainbow got herself comfortable in the office chair in front of a desk, "Ugh, tell me about it" Rainbow replied a little angry, then Twilight came by he shoulder, "Just go to the Minecraft icon and click "Log on" and then fin 'tetrix's 3rd..." Twilight spoke as Rainbow butted in with constantly repeating, "I know, I know, I KNOW, I KNOW, I KNOW" Rainbow butted in as doing Twilight's said tasks. Once she had gotten to the Minecraft world list, on the second row lie a world titled "Tetrix's 3rd Obstacle Course". Once she got the world loading she noticed Twilight still standing right next to her, "Shoo! This is my video!" Rainbow said quietly to the lavender unicorn. Twilight obediently started heading out of the small room, "Alright, just yell if you need me" Twilight stated as she left the room and closed the door behind her. A cyan hoof reached over and pushed "record" on the camera. A small beep was heard from the camera and it began filming, "Okay then... this is a large map- Oooh! Extreme stages... go... left" Rainbow read from a sign and proceeded to head left out of the entrance area. After a small bit of walking, she came upon what looked like a giant block of diamond, "Wow, Rarity would love this, except she'd hate it after 'Sitting in the diiiirt' for so long" Rainbow imitaded as she followed the signs in into this giant block. Opening the first door, Rainbow was met with some simple looking sprint jump stair jumps. She quickly began sprint jumping onto the first one, but fell flat at the second, "Heh heh, I was just warming up" Rainbow Dash said to the camera while cracking a fake smile. Rainbow started sprint jumping over the stairs and to the other side of the room, then turned around and started jumping again, "Yeah, this is what I'm talking-" Rainbow said to herself competitively, but fell down to the ground at the last step, "...about" Rainbow concluded in dissapointment, but quickly got back up to the same spot, and fell flat the same exact way. Rainbow sighed in agony and did the same jumps to get back up. However, she fell the exact same way she had done for the past few times. Getting back to the jump for the fifth time now,Rainbow started to breathe heavy, mentally preparing to make the jump. Finally, after about a minute of calming down, Rainbow sprinted and mashed the space bar, only to fall flat yet again. Rainbow facedesked and sighed in agony, "Who would ever in their right state of mind WOULD MAKE SOMETHING THAT I CANT BE 20% BETTER THAN EVERYPONY ON!" Rainbow screamed into the desk. After making another agony sigh, she picked her head up and proceeded the same course for the 10th time now. Un-noticably, Rainbow finally made the jump she had been struggling so much on, but blindly continued to sprint jump. At the end, she was met with an accross-the-room jump that presumably led to the exit. Rainbow looked toward the open area, took a few deep breaths, double tapped the forward arrow key, mashed the space bar, and landed in the water below, making her gain a little sanity back, "YYYYYYYEESS!!" Rainbow screamed as she hoof pumped for a second, then jumped back onto solid ground. Opening an iron checkpoint door, Rainbow looked to her left and was met with an obstacle course that looked like it would take years to complete, "This is totally not-gonna-be-the-hardest-thing-of-all-time" Rainbow sarcastically said to herself as she hopped onto the first platform, then into a small cut out just barely tall enough to fit the character. Before her was a jump that was supposed to lead her onto a second cut out, "Seemingly imossible jumps... I see" Rainbow stated as she proceeded to take this "jump" only to miss the ladders that were supposed to help her up. She facedesked again and grunted in frustration. Eventually she tried this once again, and was successful in making up the ladder and into the second slot. Around the corner lie a ladder that had to be jumped onto to advance forward. Rainbow very rapidly atempted to sprint jump around the corner, but overshot it like crazy, "B-but I was turning toward the ladder!" Rainbow screamed to herself, facehooved, then continued on. Rainow Dash had been back at the backwards jump into the second slot. She had carefully turned around, started sprinting, but her spacebar didn't responded to the mash, "WHAT!? I... PRESSED... SPACE!!" Rainbow screamed in rage while repeatably mashing the space bar. FInally finishing her rage fest, she continued back up the jumps and to the backwards letter jump. Jumping yet again, she overshot it and ran out the other side, "YOU-YOUR KIDDING RIGHT!?" Rainbow screamed again as she started jumping through the course yet again. The raging ent on as Rainbow either overshot the jump, the space bar didn't respond to her mashing, or she would fail a previous jump. WIth every time she fell, the more crazy she grew, "HOW... COULD... SOMETHING BE THIS BUCKING HARD!?" Rainbow sceamed after failing yet again, doing the same exact jumping course, but now failing to make it into the first slot. After some hyperventilation, Rainbow started bashing her head on the table repeatably, "I MADE THAT JUMP LIKE 500 TIMES BEFORE!!" Rainbow screamed during her fit of rage. The seemingly endless stream of agony carried on for hours until Twilight peered into the room, "Rainbow, its 6 o' clock now, shouldn't you be-" Twilight tried to say to the insane pegasus, "I DONT CARE!! I NEED TO BEAT THIS DAMN LEVEL!!" Rainbow screamed back. Twilight just very slowly exited the room, shutting the door behind her, "SEE!? YOU BUCKED ME UP NOW!!" Rainbow's screaming carried through the door. All through the night Rainbow stayed in the room, driving herself well past insanity, even throwing the keyboard against the wall a few times. Finally, after a restlless night for both Twilight and Rainbow Dash, the cyan pegasus stormed out of the room, "*Pant* *Pant* I... QUIT!!" Rainbow screamed to the lavender unicorn's face, then very shakily stormed out of Twilight's treehouse. As Rainbow agonizingly walked, Twilight could see bald spots in her Rainbow Mane where Rainbow had been tearing at for about 10 hours now. Once the front door slammed shut, Twilight peered into the room Rainbow had been raging in. Before her lie a cracked computer monitor with a keyboard sticking out of it. The mouse was right next to the door, having its cable snapped in half. All around the desk were Rainbow colored clumps of hair that looked torn out by hoof. A reasonably-sized dent sat in the desk from Rainbow's head bashing, "Ugh, this is gonna be a while..." Twilight said to herself, then exited the room. **A/N: Yeah yeah yeah, I know you were expecting something like SCP or Amnesia, but there's more awesome games out there that aren't intended to make you shit yourself. I'll get to those soon, but in the meantime, enjoy**
