      Is this a dark parody of Se7en? I freaking love Se7en! Okay, now I'm interested.

      Predictions:

      Lust - Twilight
      Pride - Rainbow Dash
      Greed - Rarity
      Envy - Fluttershy
      Wrath - Applejack
      Sloth - Spike? Not too sure about sloth.

      Twilight is LUST? What the heck? If anything she's Wrath. After all, she litterally goes on fire when she's angry.

      Not to mention this would tie in with her still being around at what we can presume is a later point in time.

      I chose Lust for Twilight because one interpretation of lust is "excessive love of others". She truly loves here friends a lot. But like I said, these are just predictions.

      Now that I think about it Anon, I guess Twilight and Applejack could be switched on the list. Applejack does love Sweet Apple Acres. But who knows? We'll have to wait and see what mbulsht writes.

      Great. Now I'm seeing Quill as a pony-fied Brad Pitt. >_<

      I had already had thought of matching each of the girls to a specific sin:

      Twilight to Wrath (as correctly referenced above)
      Rainbow Dash to Envy (She's competitive and doesn't like to be left behind)
      Rarity: Greed. (She wanted the gems in Dragonshy)
      Applejack: Pride. (Applebuck season, enough said)
      Pinkie of course goes with Gluttony
      And Spike fits Sloth perfectly.

      But Fluttershy? She doesn't fit the Lust profile. The only one close to it is Rarity, but her dream about Celestia's nephew was more romantic than anything.

      I think I just figured out who the killer is alright.

      Argh if this has the same ending as Se7en then I will not be pleased, mostly because it won't be a surprise for me :(

      Good writing though keep it up :D

      So....it's se7en with ponies. Twilight is obviously going to be the killer.

      Theories:

      Twilight's the killer cause she's the survivor

      She's an agent tasked with getting rid of Quill (doesn't explain her mark though but she does have Spike)

      The reader of the diary is the killer

      This is quite enjoyable, though part of me doesn't like where it is going... Or rather where it alredy went

      One thing I noticed, Luna said they have been notified about the case "yesterday"

      But earlier Blaise said he has been on the case for 4 days.

      Is this a slip of the timeline, or they have been lying about the case right from the start? (Though if that were the case Luna might have reacted to Blaise's slip)

    31. trapper_x89April 30, 2011 at 8:14 PM

      GODDAMNIT ... they can't be dead ... i need more informations. Please finish the next part D:

      The attacker was fast and strong ... with nice cursive writing ...

      Every Unicorn should be able to force a person without having to much problems ... They also could write perfectly fine.

      Then there are the Earth Ponies from the farm.
      All strong, fast and atleast some of them are versed in baking.

      Pegasus ponies can be disregarded in my opinion.

      from what anon said
      Lust - Twilight (possible frigid)
      Pride - Rainbow Dash
      Greed - Rarity (too generous)
      Envy - Fluttershy
      Wrath - Applejack
      Sloth - Spike? Not too sure about sloth.

      My thoughts

      Gluttony - Pinkie Pie
      Lust - (Fluttershy?)
      Pride - Rarity
      Greed - Applejack

      Envy - (CMC bc of their cute marks, Spike would be too obvious after the last episode)

      Wrath - Twilight Sparkle (Alive)
      Sloth - Rainbow Dash

      Suspects:
      Big Macintosh, he's strong, fast and quiet.
      Could be religious.

      Trixie, she's a suspect bc of her humiliation.
      Trained in magic.
      But lags knowledge of the subjects and the town.
      It would be suspicious if she'd wander around.

      Gilda, very unlikely.
      Religion isn't her type.
      But she's fast, strong.

      Twilight Sparkle, no comment.

      I will jump in deeper conclusions once the story proceeded.

      The only thing this has in common with Se7en is that in both cases, the killer bases his murders on the seven deadly sins. Everything else is very different. So I don't think that one can predict what will happen here on the basis of what happened in Se7en. That said, I liked the first three chapters.

      *SPOILERS*

      So, Ms. Cheerilee is Lust
      Pinkie Pie is Gluttony
      Rarity is Vanity
      Rainbow Dash is Pride

      So, the only deadly sins left are envy, sloth and wrath.

      Based on Epi 26, Fluttershy is wrath, no doubt.
      AJ is no slacker, could be envy. One in a million in her extended family, just wants some attention. Or, as someone else referenced the CMC, might be Applebloom. Relation to the holders of the EoH and all.
      So...is Twilight Sloth? Don't know how she could be lazy. Spike would be like that, so perhaps his sin hasn't been discovered yet. Maybe when you look at his deformed spikes on his tail in a certain way do the spell out sloth.

      I doubt Twilight is the killer. She claims not to have known anything about this, but clearly believes her friend Quill.

      I got nothing for the killer, I'm just along for the ride.

    36. TarvocMay 9, 2011 at 3:17 PM

      If the story stays faithful to how the characters are presented in series, then Spike cannot be Sloth. We all know that he's working himself to exhaustion for Twilight. In fact, I can't think of any character that could qualify as Sloth at all.

      After having read this a third time I highly suspect that there is no second killer. I suspect Spike wasn't even a direct victim of the killer, but committed suicide after Rarity's death. Think of it. We all know what he felt for her. He died in the same place as she did: in her boutique. He is the only victim not associated with one of the seven sins (at least until now) AND he is the only victim who isn't a pony.

      Anyways, for those who missed it, I was answering the question about the grimlight tag.

      It's there because the second half and ending of this fic will be much lighter than the first, and the ending will be... well, that's for you to see.

      I like the story so far. My guess on who the killer is would be either
      Big Mac,
      Twilight,
      or Trixie.

    50. Supersheep64November 4, 2011 at 3:15 AM

      I'm calling it right now, the killer is fluttershy, that's what the facts point to.
