Every time he sees his own face, he sees a monster staring back at him. Friday night, he snapped, and genuinely tried to kill his own sister. Asuka, and the rest of his family have tried to console him, tell him it wasn't his fault. In a way, it wasn't. After all, the bloodwork the hospital decided to do on a hunch when he was brought in was pretty damning.
The hospital found traces of a popular (and VERY illegal) hallucinogen in his system. The Psychiatrist at the hospital believes the hallucinations it caused interacted with his schizophrenia, causing him to believe the hallucination he saw was real. Given that Asuka was with Nar the whole night, and other partygoers confirm they never saw Nar partake in anything like that, it's believed that he was drugged. How someone managed to do it without him noticing, or why they did it in the first place aren't known right now. The police have gotten involved, and they're taking this pretty seriously.
Still. That doesn't change the fact that Nar could have genuinely hurt, or killed his sister. What would happen if he snapped again in his own home? Are Cookie, and Autumn safe living with him? Maybe they should be living somewhere else, just in case. Gah! This whole situation is starting to really get to his head! Better talk to his therapist sooner, rather than later. He might be able to help Nar process this complex jumble of thoughts, and emotions he's having right now.
At the very least, everyone is okay physically. Though Nar can't say for sure if Asuka is okay mentally after what happened. She came over to visit the other day, but she made sure Hiari, and Juno were there with her. The words she spoke to him were soft, and re-assuring, but the look in her eyes was not. She was scared. Like she didn't know if she could trust him anymore. Rightfully so. Her big bother, the man who has always loved, supported, and protected her, tried to kill her. Even if he wasn't in his right mind at the time, it doesn't change the fact that she had to look her brother in the eyes, and know he wanted her dead.
Damn it Nar! Stop thinking about it for now! You're just getting into your own head! You're gonna make things worse! You can talk about this with your therapist later. Right now, you just need to focus on staying calm, and managing your schizophrenia. Maybe a nice movie on the couch could help. He has been meaning to show Cookie the old movies he used to watch as a kid. #rp

She'd never viewed herself as a good singer to begin with, but with the help of Cara she'd gained some footing in the field. But that wasn't her only desire. She wanted to get better at writing the lyrics to a song. Maybe not the instruments, Caramella took care of that whole mess. With the help Cara, her friends, and a few pointers from Nar Yakushi, Autumn finally had a song sketched out. She waited for the next chance while Attack on Mango was together to offer up the song for them. Even singing them a very nervous rendition of it.
It was obvious the reason she wrote it, and who it was for.
I don't listen to the radio
All those stories had to let them go
I'm tired of words that I already know
The same old Juliet and Romeo
And every love song out of history
They were so beautiful, sung so perfectly
But love is never perfect
Nothing good is perfect
I don't believe in love when it's an archetype
Give me something no one else could ever write
I don't believe in love when its a paradigm
Leaving mythology and finding paradise
I don't believe in love out of a different time
If it is tried and true it's only pantomime
Let's break away from everything we recognize
Leaving mythology and finding paradise
I don't watch the movies on TV
Searching for a hero I could be
I'm not looking for an odyssey
On a quest for my Penelope
And every love song that I've ever heard
They're too elegant, too self assured
Cause love is never perfect
Nothing good is perfect
I don't believe in love when it's an archetype
Give me something no one else could ever write
I don't believe in love when its a paradigm
Leaving mythology and finding paradise
I don't believe in love the way we fantasize
Perfectly happy, picturesque and sterilized
Let's fly away from all the dreams we idolize
Leaving mythology and finding paradise
And finding paradise
Tearing away the pages
Chasing away the ages
Let's break away these cages
And we can erase these faces
And you can write me your heart
And you can write me your heart
And you can write me your heart
And you can write me your heart

Come to think of it, they haven't really gone to any parties since they moved back to Ponyville. So, when their old bandmate Roy approached them with an invitation to a party on a Friday night, the three figured "Sure, why not?"
Well, as it turns out, there was a bit of an error in communication (which Nar is certain was on purpose.) Roy told the host he could get Attack on Mango to come to the party. Which the host thought meant he could get them to PLAY at the party. He DID get them to come to the party, but they were certainly not here to play any music for it. Of course, the host was rightfully upset, until Roy convinced him that having Attack on Mango even show up to his party was worth the bragging rights. He didn't forgive Roy for the deception, but he didn't kick him out either.
The party is a typical house party affair, with the added bonus of a pool in the backyard. Which Nar had not been informed of, and is quite annoyed that he was denied the chance to go swimming. For the most part, Nar has stuck with Asuka, while Juno swaps between hanging out with them, and meeting new people. It's really reminded the two siblings why they haven't gone to any parties since they moved. Granted, it's not like they aren't being approached by other partygoers, but they have no interest in the two personally, they just want to ask about the band.
At one point during the party, Nar and Asuka find themselves in the living room with a group of other partygoers. For once, they seem to have found some acquaintances with some common interests. That being hockey. As the group converses about the last season of the EHL, Nar is bumped into by another partygoer from the side. The soda cup in his hand nearly spills over, but he manages to keep it from splashing all over the guy in front of him. "My bad!" The person who bumped into Nar calls out as he continues on his way. "All good." Nar calls back.
Eventually, Juno rejoins the siblings, just in time to join the conversation about the Ponyville High hockey team, and their season this school year. Of course, Nar finds himself as the center of attention during this conversation, but as it goes on, his stomach begins to grumble, and churn. A slight tingle tugs at the back of his head, that slowly envelops his whole forehead. The churning begins to worsen, and Nar finds himself having to excuse himself from the conversation to find a bathroom. Asuka seems to be able to tell something is wrong, as she decides to accompany him up thew stairs to the bathroom.
Reaching the top of the stairs, Nar pauses. At the end of the hallway ahead, he spots what looks to be an Astral Highway door. At first, he thinks about going back downstairs to ask the host about it, but he's hit with an intense feeling of vertigo. He barely manages to stumble his way into the bathroom, and get in front of the toilet just before he begins to vomit. Something is VERY wrong.
All sense of time is lost to the spinning of the bathroom, and losing of lunch. Nar vomits until there's nothing left to vomit. Then he dry heaves until his stomach feels as though it might explode. Outside the bathroom, Nar thinks he hears Asuka say something, then walk away. Only then does the spinning ease, and his retching stop. He takes the moment to pull himself up, flush the toilet, then go over to the sink to wash out his mouth.
The tap water cleans out the remnants of vomit just fine, but it does nothing to help with the horrid taste in his mouth. There's a knock on the door, followed by Asuka's voice asking if he's okay. Before Nar can manage a response, he hears the sound of a door flying open, the sound of quick footsteps, then a shocked cry from Asuka that is cut short. His protective instincts override all sensation of discomfort, and pain. Nar rushes to the bathroom door, and flings it open. Both body, and mind ready themselves for danger.
Stood outside the bathroom, Asuka looks at Nar with worried eyes. Except... Her hands, and arms are covered in blood. He can see some around her mouth as well, and... it's all over the floor, and wall. That isn't Asuka.
Asuka can see the wild look in her brother's eyes. She tries to open her mouth to voice her concern, but he cuts her off. "What did you do to my sister?" His voice is low, and intense. He's glaring at her with a look in his eyes she's only ever seen him have once before. Back in Canterlot, when he stepped in that time she, Scrappy, and Cookie were cornered by muggers. There's murder in his eyes, and it's directed at her.
Instinctively, Asuka takes a step back. At the top of the stairs, Juno begins to make his way over. "GET BACK!" Nar shouts, head snapping to his best friend. "That isn't Asuka!" Training, and experience kick in. Asuka quickly turns, and weaves around Juno to take a position behind him. She turns her head to call out for help down the stairs. She hears Juno let out a surprised "Woah!" When she turns back, Nar crashes into Juno as he shouts to let him through. "It's a trick! It's not Asuka! We can't let it get away!" Juno's face is visibly strained from the effort of holding Nar back. "Take it easy Nar! Something's wrong! You need to calm down!... Fucking HELL you're strong!"
The sight of another stallion coming up the stairs is Asuka's cue to hurry downstairs. She can hear Nar screaming as she pulls out her phone to call for an ambulance.
Damn it Juno! It's getting away! Can't you see all the blood?! What the fuck are you doing! Shit! Behind you! There's another one! No! I won't let it get you too!
A sudden burst of strength sends Juno slamming into the wall. The poor stallion who came upstairs to check out the commotion cries out as Nar tackles him to the floor. Juno just barely manages to throw himself onto Nar to hold his arms back before he pounds the poor guy's face in. Thankfully, a few more guys come up the stairs to help Juno restrain Nar until an ambulance can arrive.
The two EMTs in the ambulance have to place Nar in restraints in order to get him into the ambulance. Even then, he struggles to break free. He tries to tell the EMTs about the 'things' that came out of the Astral Highway door, but his sentences are barely coherent anymore. It's only when the ambulance begins to move than Nar is able to regain enough of his senses to try to calm down.

It's given Nar a lot to think about, but he's having trouble doing so at home at the moment. There's a few factors contributing to this, but the main reason is also one of the reasons he needs to think. So, Nar has decided to do the one thing he used to do when he needed to clear his head to think. After letting Autumn, and Cookie know he'll be out for a little while, Nar straps on his rollerblades for an afternoon skate to clear his mind. Popping his earbuds in, Nar starts up his skating playlist, and glides off to begin his skate.
(https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y_HJrdqXdbc)
As soon as Nar makes it out of his neighborhood, he kicks the motors in his skates on for rapid acceleration. The rush of air against his face sends dopamine rushing throughout his body. His lips curl upwards involuntarily, unable to contain the excitement of getting to skate again after so long. Thankfully, it's a Sunday afternoon, and most of the residents of Ponyville are either at home, or at church. Meaning the sidewalks are largely empty, leaving Nar with plenty of room. Even so, he still has to avoid the occasional pedestrian.
A young mare flinches as Nar hops up onto the railing beside her just seconds before he would have impacted her. After taking a moment to process, she turns to shout at the hooligan who almost crashed into her! Then she sees the yellow hawiian shirt, and straw hat. Ah. It's just Nar. He gives her an apologetic wave over his shoulder without looking back, and that's enough for her anger to subside.
A pair of police officers stand at their post in a plaza as they wait for the nearby church to let out. The two make idle conversation while they survey the plaza. It's completely empty for the moment, but in about an hour or so, it'll be filled with the afternoon church crowd on their way to lunch. One of the officers stops mid-sentence. His ears pick up a distant, but distinct sound. It sounds familiar, but he can't quite place what it is. A blur of blue, and yellow passes into the plaza. It swerves around the statue in the middle of the plaza, before continuing to the other side of the plaza to exit. The officer's partner looks at him with confusion, only to receive a shake of the head in response. "It's just Nar. Technically, we could give him a citation, but it's really not worth the paperwork. As long as he doesn't damage any property, or hurt anyone, it's better to just leave him be."
Nar's body moves on it's own, with little conscious input from his brain. It surveys the area ahead, and instinctively instructs his body to avoid obstacles, make turns, and hit sick ass jumps. After a near full lap of downtown Ponyville, Nar turns back around to head home. Though he does want to hit one last jump before he reaches home.
An elderly couple sits within a small park enjoying the cool afternoon breeze. The mare tosses bird seed to a group of birds gathered before the couple, while the stallion simply enjoys the breeze. A shadow passing overhead causes the two to look upwards. They catch a glimpse of yellow, and blue passing overhead. The figure lets out an excited whoop just before it lands on the other side of the park, and disappears down the street beyond.
Cognitive function returns as Nar pulls back into his neighborhood. Only then does he register just how much fan he was having during his skate! Man! If only he could skate like this more often!
Wait.
He was supposed to do something while he was skating. What was it again?
Aw CRAP! He completely forgot to do any thinking while he was out skating!

With the coming of summer break, Ponyville's local radio station, 103.6 "The Canyon" is hosting a summer bash to usher it in! With the approval, and help of Ponyville town hall, central park has been converted into a grounds for summer activities. Booths sell the typical summer treats, and souvenirs. Various water related rides, and activities have been set up around the park to help people cool off, and the pond is full of swimmers trying to beat the heat.
Among the crowd in the park, two young friends sit on a bench for a little rest before they head over to the next ride they want to ride. While the hosts from the radio station spout about the events sponsors over the speakers placed around the park, these two converse about their summer plans. "Oh, check it!" The older of the two boys says, pointing over towards the amphitheater near the center of the park. "I heard Attack on Mango is gonna be playing today!" The other blows a raspberry in his friend's face, and waves a dismissive hand. "Yeah right. Attack on Mango hasn't played a show in months." "Look!" The first shouts excitedly, causing his friend to actually look in the direction of the amphitheater. No way! That's Attack on Mango, setting up on stage!
"Here, let me help you with that, gramps." Juno remarks impishly as he moves to help Nar move one of the amps on stage. "Hey! I'm not that old!" Nar replies, mouth grinning ear to ear. "You're two years from 30. Your life is almost halfway over." Comments Asuka, behind her drumset. "Oh yeah. I'm 28 now." Nar keeps forgetting he missed his birthday this year. Oh well! At least he gets to spend today with his friends!
Once the setup is done, all that's left is to wait for the okay from the sound crew. A crowd slowly gathers around the amphitheater. Eager to hear the former #1 band in Equestria start their show. At the front of the stage, Nar stands in his typical 'vacation dad' attire, sans the white undershirt. His fairly muscled physique, multiple scars, and healed bruises now visible to all VIA the window of his open shirt. Juno stands beside him, wearing little more than a pair of swim trunks, and flip flops. Near the back, scrappy stands behind her keyboard in a tank top, shorts, and sandals. In the very back, behind her drumset is a dermatologists' wet dream. Long, modest skirt that covers her legs, light, breathable long sleeve shirt to protect her arms, large sun hat, sunglasses, and sunscreen on every part of her body not covered by clothes, Asuka is taking no chances with the sun.
As soon as the sound team gives the go ahead, Asuka counts the band in for the first song of their set.

View MoreIt’s only been two days since Nar returned after his nearly mont-long disappearance, and he finds himself sat in the middle of a band meeting. Originally, there wasn’t even going to be a meeting, but Juno let slip about an offer he was given, and Nar convinced him to think about it. Now, the four members of Attack on Mango sit in Nar’s living room to hash out some details.
“I’ll cut to the chase. 103.6 Is holding a summer bash this Friday, and they want us to headline it for them.” Says Juno, leaning back on the couch beside Nar. “We haven’t practiced in forever though! Plus, Nar just got back!” Scrappy protests, backed by Asuka with a nod. “Pretty insensitive of them to ask us this when they know Nar was missing for a month. “That’s what I told them. They were apologetic, but didn’t take the offer back.”
All eyes fall on Nar, who has been pretty quiet throughout this whole evening. To his bandmates’ surprise, Nar simply shrugs. “Why not? Sounds fun, and it’s not like we’ve got anything to lose. Worst that can happen is people saying we ‘fell off’. I could use a little de-stresser like that right now.” At this, Asuka, and Juno both share a look, then shrugs of their own. “Yeah, why not.” Scrappy looks like she’s about to protest again, but seems to decide not to.
With that, the band meeting is called for the night, and the band transitions to relax mode. It’s time for some pizza, and a movie! After Nar puts Cookie to bed that is.

The things you suffer in silence are valid. The emotions you bottle up, all the “I’m good’s when you really aren’t, the days you don’t feel you can keep going, but do anyway. If nobody else sees you, I do.
Don’t forget that it’s okay for a guy to be sad, show emotion, and be tender. Even rocks erode without proper support. No matter what anyone says, you matter just as much as anyone else.
