Vinyl Scratch was never, ever, ever one to do things on time. She wasn't on time for things she wanted to do, things she didn't want to do, things she had to do. That was probably the reason she didn't have a house, paying rent always had to be so...timely, when you missed a payment at the storage facility they only kept your stuff until you caught up...or someone else bought it, but that was only at auctions.
She had even been late to getting her costume!! To be clear, Vinyl LOVED[/b] Nightmare Night. It was easily the best holiday ever invented. There were pranks and costumes and foods and a whole bunch of ponies who don't even care when she pranked them! It was a night all for fun, not to mention full of good business, even Vinyl herself had a show late at night, just a short one though. She didn't want to miss the entire night of course!
She had spent HOURS of today in the costume shop. She had woken up before noon to get the right costume. It hadn't been an easy process, she had lost three store clerks in the process due to her indecisiveness...and one due to clumsiness. In her defense, that pony's nose must have been made of cotton candy and glass. His nose just started bleeding when she barely even clipped him...with her hind leg...okay, legs. He surprised her! Besides, the maid costume he had suggested had looked stupid anyways, even if she had made it work~.
Aaaaanyways, Vinyl had finally made her decision, when she realized she had been a vampire last year. She couldn't be a vampire two years in a row now could she?!?! Back to the drawing board!!! As she solemnly trotted back to the dressing room Vinyl had an amazing idea. One that took one good costume, some glowstick fluid, and a bunch of time, not to mention some audio equipment. She collected her materials and ran for home
==============================================================
Hours later she was finished, her blue mane shone in the evening air like it was magical, it wasn't of course. Vinyl had the musical talent of an eggplant, so keeping her mane glowing all night would have been a chore, instead she had filled her mane with the same fluid that resided in the glowsticks. She had even been smart enough to cast a small protection spell on her hair to keep it from being corroded away in case the material was acidic or something!
Her body was covered in metallic looking plates, all of which had been painted a shiny white by yours truly. Even her hair's light reflected off of the covering. Her shades added to it, covering the small area of her eyes and the bridge of her nose. That wasn't the best part though! using some of her sound equipment, she had set up a bit of wiring and audio!...honestly that had taken the vast majority of the time and still didn't work perfectly. It was supposed to make an electronic sound, every time she moved. It was powered by her magic though, so it could go long periods with her forgetting to run it, and half the points it was supposed to make noise at weren't working anyways. So it only made the robotic sound she was looking for when she was walking, or turning her head. Not to mention she didn't have any way to alter her voice like she wanted.
Still though, Vinyl thought she made a pretty good robot.
==============================
The mare soon found herself in the middle of the carnival. Her show wasn't for a while. The night was still young, much too young for one of her appearances! "Vinyl Scratch is here!!!" she yelled out as soon as she heard a slight lull in the noise levels. It was time to have some fun, it was Nightmare Night.
