History

Before the war

Years before the war she was a construction worker and at some point met, dated and got engaged to the unknown Doctor Who (Screwloose is unable to recall his real name), a pediatrics resident. An accident involving a steel beam hitting her in the back of the head gave her permanent brain damage as well as a seemingly incurable delusion that she is a dog and not a pony. She was admitted to Ponyville Hospital under the care of her then fiancé Doctor Who, whom recently changed his field of study to psychiatry.

Sometime after Dr. Who gives up on curing her feeling he is too close to the case and is doing more harm than good.

The next doctor to take her case was Dr. Cortex. He attempted to prescribe Cortexaphann, but it wasn't working. He then considers electroshock as a last resort.

Around this time the hospital orderlies begin to placate Screwy's canine tendencies during her outside time by playing fetch with her.

Sometime after an orderly named Bedside Manner begins feeding her nightly. His feeding also include him tricking the unknowing Screwloose into a blowjob, saying it is a special treat. The rapes end when Dr. Cortex finds his recorder with an accidental recording of the rape leading to Bendisdecs termination.

At some point the hospital goes bankrupt and is bought by Green-Med. Under their new ownership untested drugs from an MoP contract are tested on Screwloose. One of then, Thyrorudin Glucotamine, proves effective on Screwy. she even manages to allegedly ask coherently for her sister. A request that is denied by the project head, Vial.

During the War

On the day the megaspells fell she was fed once in the morning by one of the hospital orderlies or nurses. Then the apocalypse happened and she, along with the other patients, were abandoned by the doctors and left to die.

After the War

Prior to Audio Log #001

Somehow she is irradiated with a lethal dose of magical radiation, but doesn't die. Instead she is altered. This alteration gives her back her sanity as well as heals her brain damage.

Now with a fully cognitive brain she gets out of her straitjacket and escapes her padded cell. She then finds The Recorder formally used by the various doctors assigned to try to treat her condition.

Audio Log #001: Sanity Though Radiation

Screwloose is aware that she should have died and is likely some new state of being, but is not sure what.

She laments not knowing the whereabouts of her sister and mother and hopes they made it to the stables.

She also notes that though she is not the only surviving patient, she is the online not hungering for pony flesh or suck in the past.

She resolves to leave the hospital the next day.

Audio Log #002: Screwy Revelations

Before leaving the hospital she finally locates the cafeteria. She then realizes that she hasn't eaten since the megaspells fell. Though she does eat she notes that it tastes terrible, but that might just be crappy hospital food.

She also goes on record that she no longer needs sleep (not for lack of trying). This leads her not being entirely sure how long it has actually been since the megaspells fell nor whether it is day or night.

She also discovers accidentally that The Recorder contains a set of recordings she refers to as "native recordings" that are from her doctors.

The first native recording played causes her to realize she had a fiancé. Though it also leads to the discovery that some things from her past have been forgotten (notably the name of her fiancé) due to some form of amnesia.

Distraught at the realization she decides to not listen to any more native recording believing her own are overwriting them.

Finally she is set to leave the hospital and decided to check in on her old house to see if there is any indication that her family made it safely to a stable. If they didn't she...she decides to cross that bridge when and if she comes to it.

Audio Log #003: Ponyville Encounter

Screwloose realizes that Ponyville has changed so much since she was committed that she is unable to find her old house.

She then runs into Gizmo, the one from the Ditzy Doo Chronicles, who says the info she is looking for might be at the Ponyville Stable-Tech Outlet.

Audio Log #004: Bad Touch

While Gizmo finds the info Screwy seeks, he convinces her to play another "native recording".

She learns that Crotexaphan was an ineffective drug and that the orderlies placated her canine tendencies by playing fetch with her.

Gizmo tell her that her mom never got back to the Stable-Tec rep, but was likely still admitted to Stable 2. Unfortunately Shoeshine is not listed.

While Gizmo gets to work on something else Screwloose plays another "native recording". This recording shocks her when it is an unintentional POV of a rape committed by Bedside Manner, a hospital orderly. She runs in panic before puking. Finally she freaks out on the recorder, screaming "Bad Touch" along with several barks, damaging it.

Audio Log #005: ERROR

the events are unknown since the file is corrupted.

Audio Log #006: Image Problems

Screwy now has to contend with the now danged recorder and how it doesn't always record properly. She could go have Gizmo fix it, but is embarrassed at how she left things with him and chooses not to.

She now refers to the recorder as a friend, but questions if you can be friends with an intimate object.

She is also beginning to hear her voice getting more horse, but thinks it may just be a cold.

She then remembers her sister telling her about her job at the Ministry of Image and decided to check in the Canterlot hub for her.

She notes the possible danger of the pink cloud surrounding the city, but chooses to go anyway. She is unable to recall something related about it that was told to her by Dr. Cortex during the war.

The log ends with a chunk of her mane falling into her mouth.

Audio Log #007: Mysteries and Cover-ups

A glitch due to the damage from Screwloose's freak out in Audio Log #007 triggers a "native recording" from Dr. Cortex apologizing to Screwloose over the cover-up the hospital did over her rape. They fired Bedside Manner and are sweeping everything under the rug. This "native recording" and the one recorded during the rape were supposed to be deleted, but never were.

Screwloose was upset at The Recorder blaming it for bringing up the past, forgetting momentarily what she actually wanted to say. Remembering she note her coat and mane have fallen completely out and her skin is slowly rotting before noting she really isn't in the mood for talking.

She then apologizes to the recorder for calling it stupid and says it is just damaged goods, like her. Though she laments again about not getting the recorder fixed by Gizmo.

She was about to end the log when she noticed another pony made of metal on the road. This pony (alluded to being SteelHooves) notes her condition before warning Screwloose of the Littlehorn Agent in Canterlot. He also notes that Screwy's site is most likely dead if she was in Canterlot.

Before leaving this pony wishes her luck by name when Screwloose never told him. He apologizes and says the recorder's "native recordings" explain.

Audio Log #008: Unholy

Seeking refuge from the deluded pink cloud in Zebratown Screwloose enters the MoP hospital. There she meets another pony claiming to be a doctor. It turns out to be the Canterlot Ghoul versions of Bedside Manner. He tries to raper her again, but she kills him by strangling him to death.

While agonizing over killing him, he resurrects. She flees the room and locks herself in an office. There she stumbles upon a gun from the dead doctor who commit suicide in the office.

Bedside catches up and begins to break the door down with an axe. Once he is though, Screwy fires 5 shots point blank into him, killing him again.

Unfortunately he resurrects again and she chops off his head with the axe he had just used.

Audio Log #009: Distraction

Screwy listens to a few "native recordings" while trying to cope with having killed a pony...3 times.

in the end she decided to continue to Canterlot and keep the empty gun and axe for protection.

Before arriving in Canterlot, Screwy spent a few days in Zebratown finding the tool to bury Bedisde and the suicided doctor, Dr. Spinal Tap, then a few more finding a place to bury them. Then looted the hospital.

She then continued to Canterlot.

She notes that her inability to breath the pink cloud has changed and she things she may now give off the substance. She says if she becomes a "Resurrector", her term for Canterlot Ghouls, she'll kill herself.

She is then attacked by a horde of Canterlot Ghouls. She kills one, but must flee. She trips, drops the recorder, and lands on top of it breaking it further.

Audio Log #011: Imma Let You Finish, But–

Ultimately unspecified due to the recorder's damages. Every few lines or so are cut off and it cycles randomly between the present and various "native recordings".

It is assumed that a group of sane Canterlot Ghouls came to her aid and are taking her back to some pony who has orders from a ministry mare.

Audio Log #012: Wait Just a Minuette

She wakes up in Minuette Dentistry. Minuette fixes her recorder and tests a theory from Moondancer that heals a broken leg sustained during her entrance into Canterlot.

With Minuette and friends help she gets into the records room at the MWT Hub, but finds that the information she seeks has been removed and transferred to a pipbuck by "FXR". Minuette suggests that she head to Manehatten to see if there is a pipbuck there.

Screwloose also admits finding her sister is the only thing keeping her sane. She also ponders how she would react if the news she finds isn't what she hopes.

Audio Log #014: The Brewing Storm

While trying to fix the recorder with some tape Screwloose found out that Dr. Cortex hired a PI, named Slewfoot, to look into Vial. Slewfoot, ended up either getting killed or threatened into silence. Screwloose also found out that Dr. Cortex was blackmailed into continuing tests on her and the other patients.

Audio Log #016: One Sided

Screwloose says that she lost her cutie mark after leaving shelter during the eye of the radioactive sandstorm and really misses it.

She also concludes that the best description of her current state is a "ghoul" saying it is "better than a Zombie."

She then acts out a fake conversation between her and the recorder if it were a real pony. She laments that she needs some pony who can comfort her, like her sister.

Audio Log #017: Trigger Happy

Screwloose shares her cutie mark story. Her sister was upset over getting a box of block for her 7th birthday instead of the pretty princess doll set. Screwy built Shoe a castle out of the blocks. They has so much fun playing princess of the castle that Screwy didn't even realize she got her cutie mark until her mom pointed it out.

The recorder is shot and begins to tell Screwy that Dr. Cortex once again decided to expose everything. Vial stopped him and fraudulently admitted to the hospital.
