As night fell, so began the snow as well. With no answers from the doctors, there was unease. Fights broke out during the night, with horses nipping through their stall bars at each other and others still escaping their stalls to be nosy.... or stand by those they held dear.
OK, missed this from the write up. Sounds like there was a protector involved, as some horses escaped to be nosy (tracking/seering/spying whatevs) or "stand by those they hold dear" = protection?
A lone dun stallion stood outside in the field, away from the chaos indoors. He much preferred being outside at night, where he was best suited. It allowed him the ability to take on threats to his herd and send them back where they came from.
Maybe a good descriptor for a redirector, which is what Dolphin was. Or a comment on protection?
It seemed an anthropomorphic dog had taken his place in the hearts of fans and he couldn't take the pain of being forgotten.
So Goofy sounds non-village. The phrasing of success makes me think there was a game mechanic, like RNG, or a challenge, or a 3rd party wincon (not to bring that in too soon, this is just one spot where due to the nature of the write up suggesting a "success" ie condition was met to kill, that it might represent something more than a standard NK. Could be nothing. Remember, I don't like to get too deep into mechanics or NKA, but I'm coming to a point)
There must be a scratch in the America disc. Kinda creepy, almost like someone put it in that spot specifically. A barn hand popped it out of the disc drive and studied the recorded surface. Covered with scratches and dust, even though it was just fine yesterday. CDs are antiquated anyway.

"It was fine yesterday" - that could mean this was a delayed death mechanism.
You know I don't love NKA, and frankly I haven't analyzed a write up this hard since a JDH/
@Lupin21 game.
Point is, 3 deaths in one night is worth thinking about, especially when you're worried about someone's on thread and in PM behaviour, and they have suspicious ties to the ones who have died.
How has no one talked about some of these things?
