8th Dress

[prissy_hooves]

[So, it's been exactly one week since Rarity was brutally murdered by Black Mage because he didn't feel like paying for his Halloween costumes.  She's been very scarce since coming back the next morning, not really sure of how to deal with having been through such a harrowing experience.  Most of the ensuing week was spent hiding in her room, cloaked in a black shawl she'd made for herself shortly after waking up in the doghouse again.  The first few days, she just kept herself locked in there entirely, refusing to even eat.  Eventually, as the week wore on, she started coming around more, but always with the shawl wrapped around herself.  But even Rarity knows that you can't dramatically mope over something forever, even if it is completely terrifying.  So she's heading for the phones to let everyone know she's okay.  By playing it off and acting totally fine.]

[Phone; unfiltered]

...Well.  That certainly wasn't an experience I'm keen on repeating anytime soon.  Mr. B.M. - in the future, if you are unsatisfied with my work, you need only say something.  Not that I have any intention of doing business with you again in the first place, of course.

...

There.  Now that that trifle is out of the way, can anypony tell me more about this Halloween holiday we appear to have coming up next week?  Is it anything at all like Nightmare Night?  It sounds rather similar.

They're a little less uncommon then people would like. Though with no magic.

[Remember that conversation Nina had with you Rarity?]

[frilly-filly.livejournal.com]

...I see. You may have a point there. I'd like to make a request of my own, then, if you'll permit me to do so.

[frilly-filly.livejournal.com]

[The one about how you say terribad things that scare people? :(]

...I see.

[hungry-monster.livejournal.com]

[Yes that one.]

They don't last terribly long though.

[frilly-filly.livejournal.com]

Before they're arrested, you mean?

[hungry-monster.livejournal.com]

Oh I suppose.

Or before someone else kills them.

[nyanpire]

Nyaa! Of course! Cuz Lady Rarity is the best!

I'll watch out for you! I'll help!

[partysense.livejournal.com]

Oh, nooo... But your work is wonderful!

[frilly-filly.livejournal.com]

Yes, well, evidently Mr. B.M. didn't think so. He made that point quite clear.

[frilly-filly.livejournal.com]

Thank you so much, Mr. Nyanpire! I'm sure I'll be safe with you around.

[frilly-filly.livejournal.com]

Are all humans this... vulgar?

2/2

[frilly-filly.livejournal.com]

Wait, no, on second thought, please don't answer that question.

[hungry-monster.livejournal.com]

If you wish.

[frilly-filly.livejournal.com]

I really think I'm better off not knowing.

[partysense.livejournal.com]

Well, he... he obviously doesn't have an eye for fashion! [neither does Pinkie...]

[brotherseyes.livejournal.com]

Oh! Certainly. What is it?

[frilly-filly.livejournal.com]

I'd like you to allow me to find my own teacher. I have somepony in particular in mind who I think would be able to help me out the most.

[frilly-filly.livejournal.com]

Which is precisely why I won't be doing business with him again.

[That and the horiffic murder.]

[brotherseyes.livejournal.com]

Oh! Sure. Of course! If you think that's for the best, then they could probably help you better than I could anyway, if they're from your world. [She thinks.] Who is it? One of your friends?

[frilly-filly.livejournal.com]

[Rarity nods.]

Yes. Her name is Twilight Sparkle. She's the most magically talented unicorn I know. I believe you met her at the party - she's Princess Celestia's student.

[hungry-monster.livejournal.com]

Oh most likely.

[frilly-filly.livejournal.com]

Somehow, I still don't feel very reassured.

[Rainbow Dash is clinging back a little tighter then normal, a wave of guilt and anger hitting her hard. Why wasn't she there to stop it.

Dash hangs her head.]

I'm sorry, Rarity. If I'd been there, I could've...

[Well, she's not really sure what she could've done, but she should've kept a better eye on her friends here. This town was far too dangerous to slack off.]

[hungry-monster.livejournal.com]

Well ignorance is bliss, but knowledge is tempting. You have to balance between knowing enough and knowing too much.

[frilly-filly.livejournal.com]

It wasn't your fault, Rainbow... I should be more careful about with whom I choose to do business.

[Rarity half-buries her face in her friend's shoulder.]
