The Town of Bridle Shores

http://i20.photobucket.com/albums/b244/Introbulus/PonyRPbanner1.png

Far to the west of Canterlot, further still even from Ponyville, a quiet little town is quickly springing up near a large lake.

This is Bridle Shores, situated along a large lake with a natural beach. Not far from town is Mt. Trotia, with a waterfall that feeds into the lake. The town is surrounded by a lush forest which the ponies of the town both use and nurture with delicate balance.

A small business district has started to grow, with a bakery, Dress shop, Grill, Greenhouse, Dojo, Saw mill, snow cone stand, dance academy, and even a soda bar popping up for the citizens of the town.They are also experimenting with new technology such as Floppy Disk’s computer shack or the Doctor's friendship harnessing lab. In addition, there's a farm and a wizard's tower on the outskirts of the town.

Much of the forest is quiet and peaceful, but deeper within the forest lurks creatures far more dangerous…

Locations Covered in this Thread

Grills' Spa and Grill: Grills's Grill is a recently re-opened high class restaurant where he, you guessed it, grills things. In keeping with the show, what he grills is entirely made of vegetable matter. The second floor of the building is where the Spa is located. This is where a pony can have a dip in the hot springs and mudbaths, or get a massage.

Scarlet's Boutique:Scarlet's Boutique is similar to Rarity's boutique, and even has dresses supplied to her by Rarity. There is even a nice selection of suits, ties, and collars for stallions and colts. The boutique doubles as a salon for ponies looking for a new manestyle.

Snickerdoodle's Bakery: Snickerdoodle's Bakery is the town's main place to get baked goods. From cupcakes to cookies, a pony can get their pastry fix here... if they wake up the baker. Desserts purchased at the Grill can be found here as Grills gets his final courses at Snickerdoodle's.

Eclair's Restaurant: Eclair's Restaurant is a nice place. The environment tends to change a lot depending on time of day, and who it looks like her clientele will be at the time. However, most consistently, Eclair's restaurant is the kind of place colts and fillies go out on first dates when either are short on cash. Eclair's isn't a place you go to impress the person you're dating, it's where you go when you want to have a good time, but can't afford the Grill.

Greif's Cafe/Sports Bar: During the day, Greif the griffin operates a cafe that serves a variety of coffees, sandwiches, and other drinks or snacks. Once evening falls, the menu changes to include a wide range of ciders and various snacks that are probably more delicious than healthy, and they even open up a game room."

Please list which location your character is at to make this flow as smooooothly as possible.

Greif's Cafe

Well, this certainly was a busy place they were entering! Everypony not in some sort of time bubble or limbo was here, it seems.

The magicians looked around so fast it whipped their heads back and forth.
"Wow, with this crowd, we're sure to find Inspiration!"
"I knew this was a good idea."
"Incredible!"

"Hmm, yes." Quaver replied, looking over the menu and hoping that she had adequately masked her dissapointment. She didn't know why, but the purple mare had a hankering for a very specific type of smoothie.

Greif's Cafe
It should be noted that there's no "Reality Breaker" on the menu. The only beverage like that would be the Soft Serve, which is served elsewhere.

It was such a shame that it wasn't available here. That fact, coupled with the closing of Soft Serve's bar, only managed to dampen her enthusiasm evem further.

So much for finding inspiration. She thought. If this trend continues, then by the end of today I'm only going to be able to compose Gregorian chants.

"Hey, Cadmium, what does inspiration look like?"
"Is it short? or long?"

[Grief's Cafe]

Strawberry Tart busies herself whipping up her name-sake snack. You guessed it, strawberry tarts. Gotta make sure everything is juuust right, from the crust to the custard to the perfectly sliced strawberries. Of course, Tart is lacking in the Special Talent department, so her expertise comes from experience alone. But as far as she's concerned she can pull this off just fine!

The changeling is pretty sure that if she were an actual pony she would have a picture of some kind of baked good emblazoned on her flank.

When she returns she carries a small platter in a livid green field of magic, trotting along with purpose and pride! The platter is slipped into the display case for all the various pastries, though not before she levitates one of the treats toward Grief.

"Try it. My specialty."

The scent of the pastry isn't overpowering by any means. But rather delicate and subtle to perfectly harmonize the tart aroma of strawberries and the sweet smell of the custard.

Blitz gives a salute as he says, "On it Bossman!" A slight gust of wind kicks up as Blitz zooms over to Cadmium and her friends. Putting on his most charming smile Blitz said, "Hello, and welcome to Grief's cafe! Now then what would you all like to order?"

"Oh, greetings there sir," She smiled and tapped her chin in thought about her order. "Well..I'll need to look over the menu some more, but for my drink I think I'll have a mango smoothie."

"Oooh nothing, just got me a new awesome flight teacher," He grinned ear to ear.

"Really? Good for you. Who is it?" Smoothie asked. Okay, there appeared to be genuine, congratulatory emotion in that statement.

Except the mare is still as much a void of feeling as before. There is just nothing radiating off of her. It's like she's not even there.

[Garion - Grills' Apartment]

With a great effort, Garion lifted his sleepy head from the table and immediately tucked into the grub. His already slow, polite pace of eating was further harried by the fact that he couldn't go a few bites without the warm, delicious food threatening to send him straight to dreamland. The colt deliberately splashed a little of whatever drink he'd been served onto his muzzle, in an attempt to keep himself awake.

Chew...chew...chew...zzz...chew...chew...zzz...ch. ew......zzzzzzzzz....

Grills struggled to not d'awww at the sight of the little guy fighting sleep and failing. With some telekinesis, he floated Garion onto his back. Then he motioned to his fillyfriend that he'd tuck him in.

Unless stopped, the master chef gentlecolt would take a relaxed gait into his bedroom and place the colt in the dent of the bed. The sheets would be warmed by his hot hooves and them rolled over Garion.

"So like me!" He poofed himself up like a prize bird and pat his chest.

"You take my breath away all the time, darling!"

...There was a minute of silence in which Silk Scarf draped herself over her man.

"We'll take inspiration!"
"...Just surprise us!"

Garion managed to keep hold of the remains of his sammich through the TK, and the little gentlecolt continued to nom away as they made the slow, easy trip to the bedroom. Miss Gwyn's back had its own special type of fluffyness to it, but Mister Grills' was always so toasty-warm. Picking a favorite between the two would've been hard.

Once in bed, the spell was complete; full belly, big day, warm blankets, and a caring pony to tuck him in. Sleep stole over the colt as he snuggled into the bed, and he barely retained enough sense to whisper before falling completely under, "Love you...Mister Grills..." Then his eyes fluttered closed, off to dreamland once more.

Grills Apartment

Gwyn watched from the doorway and smiled as the sleeping colt was put to sleep in bed, she herself whispered words of good night to the colt. She then gestured at Grills, the two seemed to have things to talk about and they could use the alone time.

"Good night, Garion."

The colt's words took him by surprise. Grills' cheeks ran red and the corners of his lips rose up.

It was the final nail. Garion was emotional attached to him. He absolutely had to adopt him now and therefore he would now be attached to Gwynfillion. Not that he minded but there was still a mystery about her. There was a mystery about both of them. But the adorable look of Garion at the moment clouded that all.

So after a short wait, Grills tiptoed out the room and into the kitchen. "He's asleep... and he said...he said..."

Greif accepts the offered strawberry tart, and proceeds to chow down. He takes his time eating it, though, allowing himself to savor and analyze the flavors. Once done, he looks over at Strawberry Tart and grins. "I think I know what tomorrow's Special is gonna be."

When Spark mentions him, Greif looks over to him and Smoothie, flashes a kind smile, and then goes back to talking to Strawberry and observing Blitz's interaction with the customers. "Oh wow..." he mutters. "Business is really picking up."

Bwah ha ha ha!

Success!

Without a doubt Tart has firmly established herself as an indispensable asset to this business! If she keeps this up then in the event that she's outed she might be able to play for sympathy and use that to cause some hesitation so she can flee.

FLEEEEE!

Solitary changelings do a lot of that. Fleeing. Don't really have the resources that Queen Chrysalis does to kidnap ponies en mass to feed off them.

Anywho!

Tart's ear twitches toward the nearby orders being taken, her horn lighting up with emerald faerie fire as she begins to assemble the components of a fine daisy sammich. Compared to her tarts this is easy stuff. But there's still a degree of finesse and artistry to sandwich making. It is a bit hit and miss on the first attempt, but by watching the customer's reaction closely she can get a good feel for the precise portions of each ingredient they favor.

Custom sandwiches take a pretty good memory, but the happiness they result in is worth the effort.

"Sure is! Exciting times we live in, eh?"

The soft touch of a mare was so relaxing. "You won't get gobbled up, right? I mean.. that is a highly unlikely occurrence despite your line of work.

"I've been meaning to get Wrymple a collar, it would have to be custom fitted of course....and have an elasticity to it, Wrymple had been growing in an alarming rate," There was a brief frown on her face as it then returned to a neutral tired sigh.

Hey now!

Ponies should do well to enjoy things that relate to their Special Talent. And Tart is clearly a perfectly normal unicorn mare (you suspect nothing!). So there isn't anything at all odd about her getting enjoyment out of a job well done. Beats being all dreary and emotionless at least.

Another wary stolen in Smoothie's direction.

Keeping her eyes on that one.

There's something unsettling about her. And uncertain. Tart hates uncertainty. Uncertainty makes things difficult. And when you run into uncertainty and unknowns despite being as old as dirt it can really get one's wings in a bunch.

Just don't let her know you're watching, Tart. That could be terrible.

"Don't sweat it too much, boss," Tart laughs as she eyes the cafe's collection of pastries and tries to decide what would best fill the gaps in their selection. "If this place is half as crazy as you've told me I'm sure you'll fit right in, yeah?"

"She's not going to let you have a calm retirement, is she?" Smoothie asks.

"Nope/Nope," Greif deadpans, while Spin grins mischievously.

"He dragged me halfway across Equestria to start a coffee shop. Of course I'm gonna mess with him a bit," the bartender explains.

Greif rolls his eyes. "You could have said no."

"And then where would you be?"

"Happy."

"Shut up."

"Mares first."

Just don't let her know you're watching, Tart. That could be terrible.

"Don't sweat it too much, boss," Tart laughs as she eyes the cafe's collection of pastries and tries to decide what would best fill the gaps in their selection. "If this place is half as crazy as you've told me I'm sure you'll fit right in, yeah?"

Greif raises an eyebrow. "I'm not sure a decorated military veteran really fits in well with roaming krakens and gender-bending pastries and reality fracturing drinks."

"Besides," he sighs, "I'm not worried about fitting in here with all the craziness. I mean, not exactly. I've just learned over the years that ponies treat you differently when they know different things about you. Ponies are a lot more friendly and laid-back around 'Greif the cafe owner,' than they are with
'Captain Lowe of Raptor Wing 3.' I like being boring..."

Mystic Muse

Smoothie decides to read the mind of the pony who keeps staring at her.

...And the pony is thinking in Aes Shee, the language of the changelings. Only changelings think in that language in her experience. Ponies tend to think in Equestrian, dragons in Draconic, ETC.

"Stop staring at me. I'm not food."
Strawberry Tart hears in her head. It's in changeling, not Equestrian. "Speaking of which, I have no problem with you feeding, as long as you don't go overboard. Eat a reasonable amount and everything is fine. Try to do anything like the shenanigans in Canterlot, and I promise I will put Sol Invicta's wrath to shame."
Strawberry Tart can tell both of these are in her head, and aren't out loud. It does sound exactly what Smoothie's spoken voice is like though.

"Interesting. Well, your life is your life. I certainly won't spread it around." Smoothie says to Greif.

Hawkflight

Some apple fritters. They could certainly use apple fritters to round out the selection. Tart will get to work on those next. Sure she favors strawberries herself (hence the name of her most used persona) but apples have their own merits that can't be matched by any other fruit.

"Don't worry, boss. I'm sure you're plenty boring once somepony gets to know you," Tart laughs. "In fact, I-"

Then she makes a rather awful strangling sort of sound in her throat as something invades her mind. She gives Smoothie a look of sheer unsuppressed fear and simultaneously attempts to fly away (without any wings), run, and freeze in place at the same time.

The result is the mock-unicorn toppling over in an ungraceful heap.

That smelting emotionless monster!

Goodness Tart, mind your language!

Smoothie actually looks genuinely concerned for Strawberry tart.

"Are you okay ma'am?" Smoothie asks her. She decides it's probably a bad idea to go over and try to help her. Still no emotions from her.

"Hahaha! Yeah! I'm just fine!" Tart replies nervously as she takes the offered aid and rises to her hooves again. She's trying really hard not to look at Smoothie and generally doing an awful job.

The changeling's mind is a chaotic jumble of thoughts as she races through what just transpired. She didn't see that thing's horn light up. Which it should have if she were a unicorn casting a spell. Or even a changeling casting a spell. And even then horn contact is required for mind-reading magic to work.

...so what is that smelting thing?

Dark, terrifying memories of nightmares dwelling in the wildest parts of the Faerie flash through her mind along with the thought, Oh bind me with iron it can hear what I'm thinking right now can't it?

"YES! Yes, I'm totally fine! It was... uuhh... A bee! There was a bee. It landed right on me. Awful things, bees. I'm terribly allergic."

Clearly.

Meanwhile, Spin Top waves at Heartflight. "Can I get you something, kiddo?" she asks with a polite smile.

"Oh! Uh, is everything okay?" Heart asked instead, glancing at the pony who had just wigged out. She glanced around and noticed Smoothie, and relaxed just a bit.

"Um, yeah, I'll have a chocolate malt, large," she requested, smiling up at Spin Top, and idly wondered how much news of her condition had spread, or if she truly appeared as naught but another filly.

Spin smiles politely at Heartflight. "And how will you be paying for this, missy? Do you have a parent or sibling around here?" she asks, looking around for Heartflight's guardian(s).

Meanwhile, Greif is just looking at Tart with quite a bit of concern. "A bee, huh? I didn't see one. Maybe it was just your eyes playing tricks on you or something?"

Heart opened her mouth to explain her condition again, but then decided to just let it go, there wasn't much point to it really. She rapidly produced a bag of bits, wrapped in a purple telekinetic glow. "With bits, of course," she replied.

Grill reminisces his first few encounters with the little worm. He raised his hoof to look at it. A faint illusion of the purple beast nom noming on it appeared. "I just need one Sugar won't eat. The bad thing about being such an amazing chef is that Sugar wants to eat anything I give her."

"Perhaps you could coat the collar with a flavor she doesn't like?" She offered as she lifted her head to look down at him.

"Yep! I'm fine. Everypony is just fine. Everything is great and wonderful and swell! Nothing to worry about. Just a bee. Carry on, everypony. Nothing to see here," Tart says as she weaves a bit of glamor into her words. She is uninteresting and unremarkable. Don't even bother worrying about her or her outburst. That would be a waste of effort.

She then gives a small cough and starts trotting toward the stairs.

And then motions with her head for Grief to follow her.

"Could I... uuhh... talk to you for a moment? About the bees?"

It is pretty clear from her tone that she isn't actually worried about any bees.

Greif raises an eyebrow, before shrugging and hopping up to hover in place. "Nice to meet you," he nods to Smoothie, and he gives a smile and a nod to Spark as well, before flittering off after Tart and following her upstairs.

Once they're upstairs (and in his living room, judging from the sofa, radio, and bookshelf), he lands and gestures with wave of his right wing for her to take a seat. "Okay, what's wrong?" he asks warily.

Meanwhile, back downstairs, Spin Top accepts Heartflight's bits and goes to start putting together her order. Or rather, her horn begins to glow, and the drink constructs itself in the background while she continues to work the bar. She raises an eyebrow at Silk Scarf and Top Hat. "Excuse me, may I help you?" she calls out to them. "Did you need something?" This cafe is crazy busy - it's hard to keep up with all these customers!

No sitting.

No time for that.

This should be fairly quick anyway.

"That 'unicorn' down there? Smoothie?" one can practically hear the wing-quotes attached to 'unicorn' despite Tart's (current) lack of wings. "Was rooting around inside my head. Mind reading, telepathy, the whole shebang. And her horn never lit up once. That was no spell. That was something... else... completely."

Well.

That's vaguely foreboding.

"And most of the things I'm aware of that use magic like that? Usually aren't exactly friendly..."

WELL!

That's more than vaguely foreboding.

"So yeah... the bit about krakens? Probably just the tip of the metaphorical iceberg..." Tart says as she peers back down the stairs cautiously. "Dunno if she's immediately dangerous or anything. I'm guessing not. And I'm sort of hoping that breaking line of sight will prevent more mind reading..."

Mystic Muse

2013-02-08, 01:27 AM

Nope. Line of sight doesn't break it at all. You have to be a certain distance away from her, or know a particular spell.

Tart is currently neither.

But Smoothie doesn't feel like antagonizing a mare she has no grudge with, so she isn't going to bother revealing all this, or continue reading Tart's mind. At least, not enough for Tart to notice. She can read surface thoughts without Tart noticing though, so she decides to do that instead.

Greif doesn't laugh her off or treat this as something silly. Instead, his posture tenses, and he narrows his eyes suspiciously. "What... like a Changeling?" he asks warily. "You mentioned telepathy - what did she say?"

Wuh oh, looks like Greif is a smart cookie. But hey, you don't get to be a ranking officer in the RAF by being a dummy! He's probably read more than a few reports and dossiers on the Royal Wedding and Changelings...

Blitz speeds off and returns to Cadmium with her mango smoothie is a flash. He then looks at the two magician ponies with a sort of blank look. Just how was he supposed to surprise them? The sudden influx of ponies really didn't help his thinking process. Luckily Tart and Spin were there to help him out. As spin comes over he says, "Hey Spin? We got anything surprising on the menu?"

To Spin's kind offer, they said triumphantly,
"It's ok, he's got this after-all!"
"He's got this!"

They seemed intensely pleased by this.

"Well, we've got a bunch of types...Some kids hanging out, one out all alone..."

[Grief's Cafe]

Right now Tart is thinking about two things, mostly. The first is the nagging fear that she's going to get outed after making such a good start. The second is that whatever that pony-shaped thing down there is it might flip out and hurt somepony. Hence why she's taking Grief aside and warning him.

"Wait... Changelings can read minds?" she retorts, sounding shocked at this news. "I hadn't ever heard that before. Just the whole 'take the shape of somepony you care about and then drain your love' part. Which is awful enough on its own."

Seems she's taking the misinformation in stride.

"Well... she just felt kind of off to me, y'know? So I was staring a bit trying to figure out what was up with her. All of a sudden she's rooting around in my head warning me of retribution if I stepped out of line by her estimation. Maybe she could tell I knew something was up, I dunno..."

Tart gives a conspiratorial glance back and forth. "And get this. She compared herself to Princess Celestia. And by a really old name, too. I... uuhh..."

The mock-unicorn fidgets a bit. She's visibly shaken and quite clearly uncomfortable about all this. "I didn't get the impression that she's any immediate danger. But at the very least I don't think customers would be that happy about somepony poking around in their personal thoughts..."

Quaver had simply moved her sandwich slightly, so as to protect it from the wonder twins when they'd decided to flop down on the table, rather than next to it.

Heartflight didn't exactly register with Quaver. She'd never met the pony before, so there was not much to distinguish the unicorn from anyone else in the horde of ponies that had descended on the cafe today.

In answer to their question, she simply gave a noncomittal shrug.

"Possibly not, but maybe she is just that type of pony?"

Greif frowns. "I don't know. Most of what I know about Changelings is classified, I'm afraid. But since mind-affecting magic and spellcraft is their thing, telepathy doesn't seem out of the question."

He brings a set of talons up to his face, and begins to tap the underside of his beak in a thoughtful gesture. "Hm. But, Smoothie is Soft Serve's sister. And I've met her. She's nice, and is a well-established member of this community. If Smoothie were actually dangerous or a source of trouble, then it's doubtful she and her sister would be so popular around here. Either her sister keeps her in check, or we're jumping at shadows. Who knows," he shrugs, "Maybe she's just a really creepy psychic. There are stranger things beneath the sun..."

He turns to look back at the door to the stairs. "Well, as it stands, I don't think she's much of a threat. Just... impolite. I'll ask her to stop poking around in the minds of my workers and patrons. Sound good?"

To the Changeling, the griffin is likely giving off a mostly at-ease attitude, though there's a healthy dose of wariness mixed in there, and a little suspicion. Who or what he's suspicious of, though, is unclear...

Mystic Muse

2013-02-08, 05:13 PM

Once they get back downstairs, Smoothie will be gone as if she were never even there. The only sign she was is the food she paid for. She seems to have slipped out beneath everypony's notice.

Those nasty changelings!

Who would ever want to meet one of those?

"She's got a sister? Huh. Weird. The whole magic without using her horn thing is still pretty... unusual..."

Tart gives her head a shake. "Though I guess you told me to expect unusual around here, right? I figure just politely asking her not to read minds in the shop should do. Barring some pretty fancy magic there would be no real way to tell if she listened."

A shrug.

"But, eh. What are you going to do?"

Heart frowned as she watched Smoothie teleport away. Something was clearly up. With a flash of purple light, she summoned a piece of paper and a quill, and wrote, 'I'll be right back.'

With that, she slipped under the table and teleported to the library, fairly certain that's where she'd be.

Tart isn't particularly dismayed by the lack of Smoothie. In fact, her absence puts the mock-unicorn a little more at ease. The nagging thought that Smoothie could still hear them up on the second floor nibbles at her mind, but she stomps that down. No sense in getting worked up too much about what already may or may not have happened.

"Heh. Exciting day so far. Do you suppose that kracken you saw would be able to fit in here somehow, boss?"

The answer is probably no.

But in a town where a pony is using not-pony magic who knows what's possible!

Well Spark was a little bummed out that Smoothie disappeared on him like that. He was currently in a pouty sad mood as he sipped on his soda pop and ate the scone.

As for Cadmium, she listened in amusement at the conversation between her current company as she sipped on her mango smoothie. She did give her thanks to Blitz, flashing him a small smile and nod.

Her eyes soon fell upon Heartflight as her expression fell a little. "Its pretty neat that some folks can teleport....is that a unicorn thing? Or do only some unicorns know that spell?" The question was also directed to Top Hat. In this town ya'd think all unicorns knew how to teleport.

"What? Oh, yeah," said Heart, snapping out of her daze. "Actually, it's olde magic. 'Olde' with an 'e'. Basically, back when Equestria was first colonized, it was not the idyllic place made out to be in the stories. If you get deep into the history books, you find out that they first colonized a place called Dream Valley. They named it such before realized just how perilous the place was, infested with all kinds of monsters, traps, really old and dangerous artifacts, witches, pony-eating plants, elder evils from the sea, etc. Unicorns developed the spell as a means of self-defense, and also a way to cheat at tag. So technically any unicorn can learn it, they just don't because they don't need to."

Mmm... fresh baked pastries are the best!

"But... uuhh... I can do drinks. But I thought that was Top's thing?" she gives the other mare a questioning look. "If she's got the smoothie covered I've got some apple fritters to fry up. We gotta work out a system here, y'know?"

A pair of tarts are levitated out of the display in a shroud of livid green magic, set on a pair of lil' plates, and then passed off to Blitz. "The smoothie'll be done in a jiffy one way or the other. But the tarts are good to go."

Once the food is away a grin will be flashed at Grief. "Aaww... Don't take all the wonder out of it. Who knows! You might even get to see me wig out again. Never know when the bees might come back."

If Heartflight hasn't gotten her chocolate malt yet, Spin will also levitate that over to her as well.

Greif, meanwhile, looks at Tart and grins crookedly. "Oh yes, because flailing about in blind panic is the best way to impress your boss," he playfully remarks.

Mmm... Always so easy...

Tart just eats up attention like this. In the most literal of senses. She has to make a concerted effort not to sway her flank in precisely that way as she heads behind the counter to fix up those fritters.

As nice as light romance is the changeling can't encourage it. Feeding on love of that sort is more dangerous in the long term. Sticking with the love of friendship is her best bet by far.

"Maybe not the best but it sure is a good conversation starter!" Tart snerks as she begins prepping the dough for the fritters. Huh... she's making a pretty noticeable point of avoiding the steel portions of the counter-top even when using them would be convenient. That's kind of weird.

And her magic seems to falter slightly when she grabs that baking pan.

None of these things are particularly noticeable to the unassuming. But to someone trained in what to look for? The Aes Shee aren't exactly well known for being big fans of iron.

Greif chuckles, and heads over to lean against the bar across from Tart as she works. "Maybe where you're from!" he smirks. "Where I'm from, a simple 'hello' works just fine for starting a conversations. It also tends to cause a lot less of a scene."

Less flirty, but still a hint of attempted charm mixed in with the warm friendliness. And... a faint hint of curiosity. Tart may notice that Greif is watching with a slightly raised eyebrow. But is he watching her, or watching her work? Hard to tell...

"All sorts of greetings! Hoof-bump, hand-shake. The Saddle Arabians do this thing where they kiss each other on the side of the neck. Forget what it's called now. Diamond dogs... smell each other... places..."

The less said about that the better as far as Tart is concerned.

Changelings have their password greetings, of course. Can't instantly recognize each other when disguised after all.

"Ever see a pair of dragons greet each other before?" Tart asks with a wide grin. "Involves a whole lot of fire."

Makes sense considering that they can bathe in lava unharmed.

"But if you insist I can stick to boring greetings and limb-bopping."

Tart rolls the dough she made around some recently sliced apple bites and sets them into a basket to dunk into the frier. A wonderfully sweet scent of apple and cinnamon fills the room as the pastries begin to sizzle.

"Mmm... Nothing like the smell of frying fritters. Where are your apples from?"

Greif gives another crooked grin. "Limb-bopping? Is that what they're calling it these days?" he asks playfully. Tart should be able to sense that he's not trying to be flirty with that one; he's just being mischievous and silly.

He then gestures at the apple fritters. "I ordered most of the apples from Ponyville, since I was able to work out a deal with the owners of an orchard there. I bought several orders of their best cider-" he points to the top shelf of the cider display, "-So they gave me a neat little discount. Hard to pass up a premium deal like that."

At least she's honest!

Then Grief says where the apples came from!

And a rather wide grin sloooooowly spreads across Tart's face. "And here I thought I was crazy when I guessed these were south orchard Sweet Apple Acres."

She snags another apple in her magic, pulling it in close and giving it a sniff. Mmmm... "It's the wild magic in the ground from being so close to the Everfree. Makes growing a bit harder, but wow does it ever bring out the flavor."

Tart gestures at Grief with the piece of fruit. "If you ever get the chance to buy some zap apples from them? Jump on it."

Tart doesn't miss a beat as she levitates the fritters out of the oil bath and sets them out to dry and cool. Don't wanna eat them right away after all. That would be a wonderful way to burn yourself.

"Stayed in Ponyville a while a few years back," she replies. Heh... quite a few years back. Thankfully she had moved on without getting outed. Though obviously she wouldn't be able to return there with the same persona. It was... well.

We'll just say that unless she made herself look like a prune there would be some suspicions.

"Offering to work as a farm-hoof is a pretty solid way to get a roof over your head. Learned some neat stuff while I was there," she grins knowingly at the steaming fritters.

Thinking on one's hooves is the changeling way. When you commonly live a lie finding ways to tweak what you say is a very useful skill. And when in doubt steer the conversation somewhere else!

"They're a nice buncha ponies, the Apples. You can find 'em pretty much anywhere in Equestria," which results in a rather thoughtful look from the mock-unicorn. "Huh... wonder if there's anypony from the Apple Clan living here. That might be worth looking into..."

Would have to swap over to an elderly earth pony persona to get that to be believable. It might be worth while to collect some new information on what's going on in Ponyville. There should have been a reunion relatively recently.

Too much of a risk going to Ponyville herself, though. There's no way Tart would get anywhere close to Sol Invicta's favored student.

"Beats me," Greif shrugs. "I'm new in town, remember? I only know about five ponies here. Hm." He taps his beak thoughtfully. "Maybe we should do some sort of party or meet-and-great or something? Y'know, get to know folks around town better?"

"Sounds like it could be an adventure to me! And if there's one thing that I'm not going to pass up it's the chance at adventure," Tart laughs.

The by now cooled fritters are levitated onto a tray and stowed away into the display case. There! Another job well done.

Hmm...

Tart eyes the young pegasus seated nearby as a devious plan begins to form in her mind.

"Y'know. I think what I might need is taste tester to make sure that any new recipes I try are up to snuff. Do you know of anypony-" she nods in a very 'hint hint' fashion toward Spark. "-who might be able to fill a job like that?"

A variety of responses went through Heart's head before she settled on a simple reply. "Uh, Heartflight." Unfortunately, she had no idea whose hoof to shake, so she just sat there uncertainly instead.

They took both her forelimbs and shook them.

"You must be a child prodigy, knowing that sort of stuff!"
"I don't reccomend it, young filly. Being out all night, making your parents worry.... I was one, too, once; I know how it is! You think you can take the serious backstreet marblers and their hard cider parties, but in the end, you have to lurch back home, and throw yourself -- yes, throw yourself -- on the mercy of your family! It's hard being a prodigy.

This confused little bit of backstory ended with another triumphant smile.

"That's why I eventually struck out on my own for good and found Silk Scarf here!"

He draped a foreleg around the pegasus, who beamed at him starry-eyed, as always.

"Incredible! Anyway, we haven't seen you at our shows; don't you have any friends to go with?"

"Oh, don't worry! I got kicked out of magic school well before college!"

He and Silk Scarf laughed.

"Top Hat and I met one perfect summer day... I was living my life in San Diequine. I was trying to understand myself as a performer, and to be understood...And tried to come up with a dazzling performance. So I decided... I'D STEAL A MUSEUM! All I needed was a good costume, so I found a nice mummy outfit and went... But it occured to me I couldn't really steal a museum, so I'd have to steal a door. When I went to one of the doors... There stood before me a dazzlingly-dressed mummy, trying to pull the door out of his hat. "

Silk Scarf sighed romantically.
"Our eyes met. And we knew in that moment we'd never be alone again."

Top Hat shook his head.
"That's not how it happened! The museum was later, in our avant garde phase!"
"Really? How was it?"

"So you try the stuff out and tell us if they're fit for pony consumption. Every now and again I'll take a shot at a new recipe and I want you to tell me which version you like the best. Make sense?"

It was amazing, simply stunning, almost unbelievable, just how much aplomb one could maintain while eating a daisy sandwich.

Quaver was doing a fairly good job of enjoying her meal in dignified silence as everyone else piled their words and life stories onto the new pony. Not Quaver though, she understood that if someone was really interested in knowing more about her, that they could ask.

Not to mention that she was really really good at maintaining a veneer of decorum despite Bridle Shores' more ... exccentric inhabitants.

Overly theatrical cook? - well, some ponies were just more enthusiastic about their talents than they should be.
Mysterious teleporting filly? - She was probably just crawling around under the table too.
Silk Scarf and Top Hat stealing a museum? - Par for the course with those two.

Of all of the shenanigans occuring, the most surprising to her was how pleasant her sandwich had turned out to be. It wasn't perfection, but it was definitely a cut above the normal fare in this town.

Chewing happily, she simply sat there, enjoying the show.

"I would imagine the situation would be more or less the same over in the griffin lands," Tart replies with a shrug. "Everyone loves a good story about new royalty popping onto the scene."

And then another question!

Another question that Tart takes in stride. And this time around turns up the glamor just a bit. "Eh. Just another title for the Princess. I figured you probably wouldn't be familiar with it. Doesn't matter."

Nope.

Doesn't matter one bit.

Not even worth thinking about even a little.

Not so much in others.

With a shrug Tart continues working on her batch of fritters.

"Fancy clothing, styled mane. I dunno, posh accent I guess? Probably laugh a lot less!" Tart snerks. "Ya gotta be a lot more subdued to pull the proper Lady thing off right. It just isn't my style to act all prim and proper. Adventure Hobo, remember? High society I'm not."

"Because other mommy said so. Duh." Pale Night responds. "A good filly listens to her mommy." she says.

Heartflight frowned briefly, but nodded. "Okay then ... would you like something to drink?" she asked.
"Sure!" She says enthusiastically with a big smile.

Blitz had been busy getting the strawberry tarts for Silk Scarf and Top Hat when he heard the little filly make her claim. He froze for a moment as he brain tried to process what he just heard and how it was possible. Mainly that it WASN'T...right? Well after a minute or two Blitz brain manages to reboot and he decides that out of mind out of sight is the best policy. After all it looked like the pony referred to as Heartflight was handling the question of how to get the filly home well enough. As such her went over to the table to supply the two eccentric ponies with their surprise treats.

"When I say lady, I don't mean in regards to fancy stuff and dressing up and being all kinds of proper. I mean it as a nicer word for mare." Spark pouted his lips in thought on the matter. But soon the foal was distracted with the prospect of more delicious desserts.

=========

Grills placed his hoof over the mare's cheek to keep the eye gaze going. "I did as well but it seems like I am never there for you or Garion. I figured if.. you know... I could help out more." His mouth slid to one side of his face. "What kind of example of a gentle colt would I be if I am not there for him? And surely I would need more opportunities to show trustworthiness to you. I can't let my readability ro the ones I care about to be questioned."

"I don't really see this evidence of you never there for me or Garion, you're being too hard on yourself right now with something that isn't even a thing." Gwynfillion frowned and placed her hoof on his cheek.

Grills exhaled softly. "Maybe you're right. Maybe I am just making a big deal out of nothing." said the perfectionist pony. He was not telling the truth but he could never continue showing uncertainty now. "Now stop frowning. The world deserves every bit of your beauty."

Gwyn looked down at him and gave him a lazy little smile. She lightly kissed his horn in a peckish manner. "You cheeseball."

The horn kiss tickled. All the candles in the apartment danced. A few went out.
He had to use some magic to make his horn glow. The dim light focused his eyes on Gwynfillion even more clearly. It was really all he wanted to see but the choice wasn't all his at the moment.
"Look. The candles are so jealous of your fiery loveliness many of them left us." said the stallion with a straight face.

"You forgot to mention the fancy titles you have to call everyone by," Greif remarks with a bemused roll of his eyes. "And the complicated greetings and proper etiquette and all that jazz..."

He gives a dismissive wave of his left talons. "I've been to a social function or two in my time. Wasn't my cup of tea." He smirks, and leans a bit further over the counter. "Though I'm sure you'd have been a big hit at some of the Royal Griffin Galas, all dressed up with your hair done... and your 'Adventure Hobo' act. Heh heh..."

"It's so tedious, having a social calender!"
"So tedious!"

They said, as Top Hat dug around in his hat and produced -- still no hornglow -- a small stuffed rabbit for the foal. When he pulled it out of the hat, the paws were danging loose, but when he handed it over, the paws were clutched tightly.

"The real rabbit's on break,"

he explained. And then the tarts arrived!

"What a surprise!"
"An incredible surprise indeed!"

And they dug in.

Into the frier the soon-to-be fritters go! Not much longer now and a certain colt will have another tasty pastry to try out! No doubt he must be anticipating this most wonderful of things.

"It makes a ritual out of everything," Tart replies, waving a hoof in a not particularly explanatory fashion. "Sucks all the fun and spontaneity out of an event. Heh... did you hear about what happened when the Elements of Harmony were invited to the Grand Galloping Gala a few years ago? That was a complete riot! I doubt that party has been quite so lively for at least a few hundred years."

Nothing quite like filling the grand banquette hall with a stampede of critters.

A wide grin slowly spreads across Tart's face. "The big griffin shindig, eh? Think you could score me an invitation? Or would I ruffle too many feathers?"

Greif chuckles. "I'm sure I could get you an invitation if I asked. Though I'm not sure how many feathers you would ruffle. Ponies are an uncommon sight at 'the big griffin shindig,' but it's not unheard of for diplomats to attend as a sign of good relations between the two Kingdoms. Celestia herself has shown up a few times, actually. So no, I don't think you'd cause too much of a scene... as long as you didn't actually cause a scene," he smirks.

Well...

Uuuh...

This IS sort of exactly what she is...

Anywho!

The second batch of fritters are removed from the frier and set on a rack to cool. The aroma of cinnamon and apples is downright heavenly. Won't be too long now...

Tart gives a sagely nod to the young colt. "See? That there is the problem. Not every mare is a Lady and not every stallion is a Gentlecolt. These are things ya gotta strive for, y'know? But if you want to be a Gentlecolt one good way to do it is treat every mare like a Lady whether she acts like one or not."

Suffice to say?

"Hmmm....When I was a colt in school; a sort of magic that sidestepped magic appealed to me, even if my examiners didn't like it."
That had caused a lot of trouble. He wasn't sure why, when it got the same stuff done.

"I saw a travelling show once as a filly....But it was kind of a difficult path for a young pegasus..."

Spark looked at the new batch of fritters in anticipation as he first took a moment to enjoy the aroma. And then...he took a large bite that his cheeks puffed out like a chipmunk's. His eyes lit up as he allowed for his tongue to savory the sweet yet slightly tarty flavors. His eyes rolled back in culinary bliss.

He finally swallowed at some point. "Woweee!...That was mighty tasty ma'am!"

Aahh...

There it is...

That gratitude for her work. Tart just loves that. The mock-unicorn closes her eyes and smiles, drinking in the feelings of gladness over something as simple as a well-made pastry. This... she likes this.

Being able to trade a meal for a meal certainly helps her to feel like less of a thief. And there's nothing quite like a job well done. Slag the Queen and her crazy pony-replacing schemes. This is the best way to find magic to feed on.

"Glad you liked it, kiddo!" Tart eventually replies with a wide, elated grin. "And glad to know what your favorite style of fritters is."

She glances back and forth furtively before lowering her voice to a playful stage-whisper.

"Now that I know your pastry weakness there will be no stopping me. Bah hahahahaha!"

Greif hops behind the counter, and begins to fiddle about in the kitchen area. "Alright folks!" he loudly addresses the customers, "A neat thing about my store is that we're more than just a cafe. During the evening hours, we also provide hay fries, onion rings, grilled sandwiches, and other items you ponies may call 'pub food.'

The griffin pulls a sack of potatoes out from under one of the counters. He impales a potato on one of his left talons, then begins to slice it with his right claws. In a matter of seconds, the potato is peeled and sliced into perfect little french fries. The process is repeated several times, until he has a large pile of french fries in a bowl.

"Oooh oooh! Me...I'll have chili cheese fries.....are they like chili cheese hayfries?" Spark inquired as he watched the McCool griffon go about their work.

"Absolutely!"
"We can be cheesy enough for a night's supply of fries!"

Truer words were never spoken.

Quaver, true to her word, bought her own meal and ate it alongside the others. She might sneak a chilli fry if offered, and would likely offer something from her own dish in return.

Otherwise, she just tried to passively enjoy the company.

(Happy to end the day whenever you guys are)

Tart gives a quick salute!

"On it, boss!"

To the grill!

Since there are no doubt background ponies who need some eats we can assume Tart will be cooking for them unless given an order to the contrary. A sharp eye might note that she is carefully excluding metal parts of her spatula of choice from her telekinetic grip. Huh, wonder why?

"They're potato fries instead of hay fries. They call 'em chips over in Trottingham," Tart explains. "Flavor is pretty different, tend to be softer than hay fries unless you really roast 'em in the oil."

She flashes a grin at the colt. "Give 'em a shot, ace! Trying something new is an adventure!"

Spark sniffed the platter of potato fries and clumsily reached over for the ketchup bottle on the counter and squirted some on his plate with both his hooves. Squirt. He chuckled at the farting noise from the bottle.

Anyways, the orange colt then picked up some fries with his mouth, dipped them in the ketchup, tilted his head up and gobbled them down with boyish vigor. Ketchup and chilli cheese on fries. Yep. He's a colt, its what he'll do.

"Mmmm.....yummy."

Greif's Cafe

And so, Greif, Tart, and the rest of the cafe crew made sure that everypony was fed and satisfied, before closing up shop. Greif told Blitz and Spin to head on home, so that he and Tart could clean up the cafe and have a nice chat.

End Pony Day

======================

The Next Day

Snickers' Bakery

The sign on the door says closed. (Snickers will be out of action {and likely hungover} until the Time Bubble stuff is wrapped up, since that's kinda important.)

Greif's Cafe

The cafe opens early in the morning, shortly after dawn. In fact, there's a sign on the door that says "10% Breakfast Deal!" Neat.

The cafe opens early in the morning, shortly after dawn. In fact, there's a sign on the door that says "10% Breakfast Deal!" Neat.

A purple mare knocked on the door and slowly punched it open. "10% Breakfast. Does that mean 10% off the price of the breakfast or you are only selling 10% of the meal?"

Greif is behind the counter when Purple enters, wiping down the bartop to ensure it's nice and shiny. "Good morning, Miss Purple!" he cheerfully greets her. "How are you do- wait what?" he blinks.

The griffon then frowns. "Did I really mess up the sign? Ugh. I'd better fix it before-"

Spin Top steps in through the front door, carefully navigating around Purple with a quick spin on her hooves. After pirouetting into the bar with a great deal of poise, the waitress resumes her relaxed posture... and narrows her eyes at Greif. "Did you seriously screw up the sign?"

Greif sheepishly rubs the back of his head. "Eheh. Good morning Spin."

Next Day, Grief's Cafe

Blitz comes into work the next day with Falco perched atop his mane. He had gotten plenty of sleep on his little cloud. Looking at Grief he says, "Heya boss. Pretty wild grillin' yesterday. Also did I read that sign out there about 10% Breakfast Deal right? I mean, who would want only 10% of breakfast. Unless you meant 10% off Breakfast Deals."

Y'know what's awesome?

Breakfast pastries.

That's what's awesome.

And Tart has a whole platter of the things freshly baked and waiting for anypony who has an itch for good food.

In unrelated news the totally-a-unicorn seems rather amused by Grief's current sign-based predicament. "Hehe... Sounds alright to me, boss. Though fixing a tenth of an egg might be a bit hard. What should I do with the other 90% of it?"

Greif facepalms. "It's supposed to be 10% off. I guess I was distracted while painting the sign."

Spin gives Greif a flat stare... and then turns to give that same flat stare to Tart. "Distracted, huh?" she deadpans to no one in particular.

Greif groans, and facepalms again. "Not like thaaaat."

Spin doesn't seem convinced.

At the mention of 'distracted' Tart flashes the griffin a quick wink.

Why?

To make the situation all the more amusing! It'll probably get silly in a hurry. And of course they can always explain it was all in fun later. But for now the confusion will be well worth it.

Pony emotions are so fun to play with!

With that caper well underway Tart returns to getting Purple's fractionally precise breakfast ready! Once the meal is done she'll hoof it off to Blitz for delivery.

Greif looks mortified when Tart winks at him. He then promptly looks terrified when Spin turns to glare harshly at him. "Wait, it's not-"

And then Purple comments on the business hours! Yay for distractions!

The griffon spins around to grin suavely at Purple. "Really? I'm the only one who serves breakfast? Interesting. Glad I could be of service, at least. So what did you want for breakfast this morning, Miss Purple?"

"Don't you have a sign to fix?" Spin deadpans.

Greif turns back to her with a smile, before turning to Blitz. "I have a job for you, Blitz. Would you kindly fix the sign, or make me a new one?" he politely asks.

Spin rolls her eyes. "Lazy."

Blitz brings up his hoof sharply in a salute to his as of yesterday boss. "You got it bossman. I'll have that sign fixed up quick, fast, and in a hurry or my name isn't Blitz Slipstream, The Blue Blur."

True to his words Blitz turns immediately the sign and makes a motion, pointing with his hoof at his eyes and then at the sign. He then speeds inside the shop to grab the tools needed for the job. He then comes back out and with his game face on, take on his namesake and becomes a blue blur of speed and construction. He would be finished in no time!

Grills' Apartment-The morning that Gwyn and Grills send Garion off to go the Chasers for that beachtime funtime

The plum mare stirred in her sleep and woke up with a small yawn. She opened her eyes seeing she was on the couch with Grills underneath. She sleepily smiled and rubbed her cheek against his chest taking in more warmth from her living heater. She laid there for a while on him looking at his features.

Eventually Grills woke up. It was hunger. He was a chef and a stallion so food was a priority despite the comfort of a soft female coat atop him. "Good morning, sugarplum. What do you want for breakfast?"

Grills stretched and gave Gwynfillion a four leg embrace fir a moment. He sneaked a nuzzle or three in there. "Mmmm. I'll go start. Are you going to wake Garion?" He said as he rolled to let Gwyn alone on the couch and himself standing on the floor. He had that "creating a recipe" face on.

"Garion....Garion, time to wake up," She said to him.

Tart makes a snerking sound when the colt goes zooming off at full speed. Near as she can tell 'full speed' is the only setting he has. She's met a few ponies like that over the years. They tend to be pretty amusing assuming you can weather the mental strain of putting up with the hyperactivity.

"He's got a title already? Going to guess that's self-assigned," Tart comments to nopony in particular as she gets to work on the fractional breakfast. As one might expect she gets it done in a fraction of the time!

What a surprise, right?

"You want me to serve this on a tenth of a plate?" she asks of Purple with half a grin creeping up the side of her face. "Or will a normal one do?"

Snuggles. Scientifically proven to be one of the most gentle wake-up calls known to ponykind.

With many a loving nuzzle and warm hug, Miss Gwyn coaxed the sleepy colt from his deep slumber. Slowly but surely, he wiggled free of the blankets to get closer to that soft coat he was so fond of, and before long little Garion had nestled himself squarely in her embrace. "Good Morning Miss Gwyn," he mumbled as he nuzzled her chest. "Did you say something about breakfast? Breakfast's a favorite." His ears perked up eagerly, though his hopeful eyes were still half-lidded with sleep.

Garion yawned again, before giving Mister Grills a shaky bow. "G'morning, Mister Grills." The colt then scrabbled up onto his chair and assumed the Proper Gentlecolt Eating Posture. Or at least, the closest he could manage at this time of the morning.

His stomach gave a rumble three sizes too large for his little belly.

"One plate'll do. I sympathize with dishwashers." Answers Purple to Tart. Dishwashing was a chore she was often stuck with at home. And Grills made her do it at work when she annoyed him too much. Same with Red. Mean older brother stuff. "No blueberries today.Can't eat them every morning."

Grills

The ommettes came out soon after his guest sat and readied their dishes. The master chef even placed the food down with a silver platter Before serving.
"I added veggies as tofu has no taste and Garion is a growing colt. Extra for Garion as his tummy sound like a volcano. Hehe."

Garion recieved spinach diced into little bits and tiny tomato cubes in his very soft omolette Gwynfillion's was more plain with more seasoning and herbal spices for flavor. Grills gave himself more vegatables than eggs almost with his extra hard cooking. "is your food too runny, sugarplum. I can blow it a bit harder. "

Garion froze; this was a serious conundrum.

Not for choice of beverage, mind you. The obvious choice was apple juice. But no, in his haste to fill his rumbly belly, he'd taken a big bite of fluffy omlette, and a gentlecolt always chewed his food at least twenty times before swallowing. But a gentlecolt also never kept a Lady waiting, and Miss Gwyn's question required immediate attention. However, a gentlecolt also never talked with his mouth full! Swallow early, be rude to Miss Gwyn, or open wide? Ack!

In a last-ditch effort of manners, Garion attempted to pantomime apple juice, which generally looked like leg-flailing.
