Strawberry "Berry" Cream

The afternoon sun had set on the city, but that did not merely meant the day had transitioned to another phase. Offices and schools were shut down so that the night life could share the spotlight. Br... View More

With Carmine out at work, there wasn’t much for Gray to do back at their apartment. Most nights would be spent at the couch watching TV. That was precisely what he was doing when his door was knocked. Just him and his pajamas, and the dim blue light emanating from the screen. It didn’t take a long ... View More

Berry was more or less dressed up in her usual attire. See: powder blue tube top and lavender skirt. Her chunky sneakers crunched on a kernel that was apparently meant for a different route than the actor’s mouth, but his query would be answered in time. “Hey. I was just thinking that it’s been a ... View More

Gray allowed his arms down again and… well, he frowned in concern. Berry, while he knew that this facet of hers was much closer to her true persona than the cheerleader girl she portrayed herself as, it was still odd when she wasn’t boisterous. “…this late?” Prompted the actor, he turned to look at...

“We’ve been out later?” No, they haven’t, but for the two ex-party goers, 9 was still young in the day-night cycle. She smirked. “Wow.. nine o’clock is late, you’re here eating popcorn and watching TV. Carmine really has rubbed off on you, huh?” Her tease ended in a snicker. While she waited on Gray... View More

Her smile reflected his; she was no doubt proud that she managed to break through. In her mind, she was Cupid, only the two had been shot a while ago and she just needed to make a return trip to twist the arrow a little. Part of her reasoning was due to familial telepathy. She just *knew* there was ... View More

Gray had not yet caught on, to him cockroaches were just that. Ugly beetles, trash beetles. Could they bite? Maybe… He did not want to find out! “You know what? That sounds like a clever idea!” he immediately agreed. To think that their evening would turn out to be this nice… He suddenly stared off... View More

It was only a tease, but Berry did sincerely hope he’d do it soon. Just so she could stop that from clouding her mind, but… no, it did need some preparation. She nudged her friend in the ribs on their way out the door and spat out a short cackle. “I’m just fucking with you; caaaaaalm. And you’re wel... View More

That little nudge drew an “Ow..!” from Gray, who also immediately wrapped his arms around his ribs to protect them whilst Berry cackled and teased him. He glared only for a brief moment before smirking back, “Now you’re just making excuses! When have I ever not wanted to hear about your amorous misa... View More

Of course, nothing bad would happen to Strawberry!

Nothing bad ever happens to my characters, famously. “We’ll come back for you.” Just hope for Trip to live by, but as Carmine said earlier… better a stranger than Gray or Berry. The passing of a random friend of Berry’s would haunt him, yes, but the previously mentioned would absolutely wreck him once more. With Carmine once again taking the lead, they were brought to a scaffold of aluminum stairs. They were not enclosed, hell, there were barely rails, but that wasn’t the most dangerous thing in the room. As soon as they made it down the first flight, they’d be greeted with a large atrium. Years ago, this room was used to belt pig carcasses for processing. Some ground, sliced, we all know how meat is made. Somehow, the griffon from earlier had created a mock stage using the remains of this building’s guts. Thousand-lumen flashlights had been tied to the rafters and brought down to shine on the stage itself— a very wide conveyor belt with none other than the mare of the hour: Strawberry. She had a few cuts on her cheek, but nothing that suggested serious medical attention. Mere scratches. The mare herself was tied to a chair by way of zip ties. Behind her was a twisted backdrop of the Red Queen’s garden from Alice in Wonderland, complete with corrupted depictions of the curious little girl’s friends say around at a tea table with their hateful eyes all made to look like they were leering at Berry. Everything outside of the small halo around Berry was pitch black and unable to be seen. But what would a theater be without an audience? Rows of charred seats were sat in front of the execution ground, though only four were occupied… none by ponies. The first was a fabric mannequin. A sandbag, with a single black dot on its forehead. The second mannequin was western themed… cowboy boots, hat, and a faux gun on its lap. The third only wore a bike helmet, and the final in biker clothes and fishnets. The music swelled. Something was happening soon.

And what was it? Why, the main lead was coming out to greet the stage, of course! A body danced from stage right, a griffon, but with much different clothes. Gone was the hoodie, instead what remained was something… uh, something. He wore something similar to a toga, but dyed a darkened gray, with ... View More

View MoreGray looked back one last time as the exited the breakroom. Trip’s form was still sitting against the wall and slumped over, head hanging down. He didn’t look good. ‘The police will get to him; they’ll know what to do.’ The actor thought to himself in order to keep calm. How grim… walking out on a stallion in that bad of a shape was basically murder by inaction. Gray wasn’t a killer, not even close. The guilt would eat him inside, even if he knew that they were going forward for Berry’s sake. As if the inner turmoil wasn’t enough on its own, the building was barely held up by hairs. Every step they walked could’ve been a fatal death trap. Not because it was actually boobytrapped, but because of the fickle infrastructure. Gray clutched Carmine’s sweater on their way down the scaffold’s first floor. “Please be careful.” He begged nervously of his companion. He was terrified not only of falling, but of witnessing the other fall. …All those superficial worries all disappeared soon. On the first floor a crude stage had been set up. The music was louder there, there were lights and everything. Gray could not believe his eyes at first glance. There was even some creepy scenery and… and that person at the very center…? No way… it was Berry! Gray had to physically cover his mouth again, this time in an attempt not to scream and gasp in horror. The sight was sickening to him. Berry seemed physically fine, but Gray couldn’t shake the horrible sensation of seeing her trapped so helplessly and in such a horrific setting too! He nearly felt sick. Gave Carmine’s sweater a couple desperate tugs. “no no no no…” “It’s Berry…!” Gray cried out in a shaky whisper, his eyes were already swelling with tears of pure panic and fear. “He’s going to hurt her…!” he added breathlessly. Gray was convinced instantly. That stage was the work of a maniac, a cruel, deranged maniac! …And it had his friend! As the show began, Gray felt compelled to run. His body language indicated it. He was thinking of going for the center of the stage if only he could unfreeze! But he was static, he was… Petrified in place, that’s why he hadn’t moved. The intention was there, but his body was still not responding.

Similarly, Carmine knew there was the smallest chance he could run in… but where? If this creep actually wasn’t alone, then they’d just get murked by whatever body guards were keeping this deranged act going. “I know. I’m too far away for a clear shot… if. If, uh…” What could they do? Running tow... View More
