"Hey, if he wants to help a lost soul if he sees one, that sounds pretty good. I'll start working on hook-attachable scissors... I'll even give you a discount!"
He said, laughing cheerfully. But he was serious about selling those scissors.LPs:

"Well...well I'd still do it if I saw one." he concluded with a firm nod.
Garion laughed along too. Not too sure why, it wasn't something he saw Miss Gwyn do often. But it looked fun, and it felt like a pleasant tickling down in his belly. "I'll keep this town safe from bad ponies giving bad mane cuts, I promise!" he declared, putting a hoof over his heart like Mister Grills did sometimes.I'm developing a game. Let's see what happens!

Re: [MLP:Fim] Bridle Shores Bar/Downtown thread 2
"So, does anypony have any stories that are more...bone-chilling or nightmare inducing?" Smoothie asks, frankly a little disappointed with Cloud's "Scary" story. "Maybe this is just an indication of how long it's been since I've been to anything resembling one of these, but I thought the idea was to scare each other or attempt to give each other nightmares." she says.

Re: [MLP:Fim] Bridle Shores Bar/Downtown thread 2
Heartflight had returned with Smoothie, and lay down for the scary story. Dawn, meanwhile, had been there the whole time. Heartflight levitated over some snacks, and listened to the story. She gasped when it reached its conclusion, then frowned discontentedly.
"*GASP!* ....Wait, that's not very scary at all," she commented.Originally Posted by TheAmishPirateSpoiler: Previous Avatars!

Re: [MLP:Fim] Bridle Shores Bar/Downtown thread 2
Next pony day. Smoothie's room.
Smoothie's room was built to be, and was a fairly private place. It was warded against all forms of intrusion including magical, it was soundproofed, and the door had about ten different locks. She generally didn't mind associating with ponies, but when she wanted her privacy, she was adamant about not being stopped.
Today, she was working with the gem she got from Simmer named "Shale" and trying to find out more about it. It was an odd being. After all, creating sapience should be beyond the likes of even the princesses, which just raised more questions about Shale's creator. Questions Smoothie had asked and Shale had been unable to answer.
Today, due to the gem not properly interacting with her armor, she was simply wearing it around her neck again and sitting in her chair by the fire place. The room was being kept magically cool due to it being a hot day, and Smoothie was just sitting after another dead end.
"So, what would you like to try now?" she asked.

"I'd like to try some of whatever it was you were eating earlier, but since I lack a digestive system, that would be something of a feat, would it not? Oh...why was I instilled with curiousity at all?"
Shale's voice was dripping with sarcasm. Whatever experiments had been going on, they hadn't improved its mood.

Re: [MLP:Fim] Bridle Shores Bar/Downtown thread 2
"What? Me, a pony? That sounds quite fetching, actually. Able to move around without having to borrow somepony's neck, or trying to animate some facsimile. Able to eat, sleep, drink...and generally be merry? Yes, that would be a wonderful boon. It's not like I exactly enjoy being a motionless rock that relies completely on whosoever is my master at the time....no offense to you...master Smoothie."

Re: [MLP:Fim] Bridle Shores Bar/Downtown thread 2
"Well, we could try and do something about that. Probably a dead end, but it's not like we haven't already run into plenty of those already. I guess first thing would be to determine what kind of pony you wan to be if we can even manage this." Smoothie says, pulling some random books off her shelves and taking looks through them.
If Shale can see them, it would notice the books look...kind of unpleasant. Smoothie doesn't appear to be looking at conventional magic for this purpose.

Re: [MLP:Fim] Bridle Shores Bar/Downtown thread 2
"What kind of pony? You mean between the three castes? Earth, Pegasus, or Unicorn. Well, I can safely say I'd be fine if I never performed another spell in my existence. And....that looks rather unsavory."
He'd seen a spell a she flipped through the books that made his glow turn pukish in color.
"You could ask me for spells too, you know. I just can't go looking for them without being asked."

Re: [MLP:Fim] Bridle Shores Bar/Downtown thread 2
"Kind of has to be. You don't exactly find body creating or soul transferring in normal spells." Smoothie points out. This room is apparently where she put the restricted books. Either that, or Smoothie has a very odd book collection."So, Earth Pony or Pegasus then?" she asks.

"You could ask me for spells too, you know. I just can't go looking for them without being asked."
"...I suddenly feel like I'm doing a very morbid experiment for some sort of super villain school." she says in a deadpan tone as she continues to look through the book.Last edited by Mystic Muse; 2012-07-28 at 07:53 PM.

Re: [MLP:Fim] Bridle Shores Bar/Downtown thread 2
"Searching."
His glow turned a purplish hue this time, and if Smoothie tried to 'tune in' to him, she'd hear something like elevator music.
"Section: Creation. Subsection: Physical. Category: Biological."
And a 'hologram' of several books appeared in front of Smoothie, all of them specializing in the creation of biological entities...though none seemed to have a lick of information about how they were to be sentient. Seems all the writers were only ever able to make 'blanks', as it were.

Re: [MLP:Fim] Bridle Shores Bar/Downtown thread 2
Smoothie quickly scans each of the "pages" in the books. Time for a studying montage!
*Some time later*
"...Good god is this going to be difficult. Most of these things I've never even heard of, a few things might be extinct, and one or two are just plain dangerous to get. Even if it worked, I'd still need a soul transferring spell, or it's just a meat puppet." Smoothie says frustrated. She lays back in her chair so that she won't feel quite as stiff as she currently does.
"I don't suppose Nightshine installed any soul transferring spells into you? That could save a little time." Smoothie asks, not expecting any results.

"That's exactly what I suspected." Smoothie says, sighing. "Probably another dead end then. None of this is standard unicorn magic, hence why I need ingredients, and it's unlikely I have anything in here that has rituals with applications that dark." Now may be a good time to ask why Smoothie has those kinds of books in the first place. "There's always the chance Dr. Magic could pull it off with his friends on the other side, but that's one of those "Yes, but" deals, and the drawbacks can be extreme." she explains. She still had what, three different deals she needed to follow through on? And she didn't know what the consequences might be if she didn't. Though, the things she had to do weren't particularly malignant.

Re: [MLP:Fim] Bridle Shores Bar/Downtown thread 2
"...Well, I happen to know of one pony, but this would all be very hard to explain, and I think she's a little busy right now. Plus, I have the distinct feeling she wouldn't want to be caught up in this, but I'll send her a letter." Smoothie says and starts writing a letter to Gwyn.
Spoiler
"Hey, I need a little help with a rather unconventional request. It's an odd combination of alchemy and ritual magic, and I figure a pony of your expertise would know more about pulling it off than me. Just tell me when you're not busy and we can set up a meetup, but it's not extremely important right now." it says
She begins looking through her other books for a soul transferring spell in the meantime.

Re: [MLP:Fim] Bridle Shores Bar/Downtown thread 2
"Hmm. If it absorbs Magic, then maybe...." Smoothie decided to cast a quick bolt of lightning at the armor to see if it looked like the lightning bolt got absorbed, or roughly similar to how it looked when she blasted Simmer with lightning. The Bolt itself wasn't too strong, and it was fairly accurate, so it wouldn't damage any of the surroundings unless the armor did something funky to it.

Re: [MLP:Fim] Bridle Shores Bar/Downtown thread 2
The bolt collided with the armor...and vanished. After a few moments, the armor itelf started to spark and sputter, little fragments of electrical charges flowing around and over it. Not very strong, but it seemed to be staying that way.
"Well that was interesting. We didn't blow up, so that's good news."

Re: [MLP:Fim] Bridle Shores Bar/Downtown thread 2
"Yes. Well, looks like I inadvertently enchanted the armor. Hmmm, what can I do with this..." Smoothie asked out loud as a rhetorical question. "Well, if I were a super villain, I could probably enchant it to be my golem minion." Smoothie says, in a tone indicating she has no intention of doing that. "I should probably get to the point where I'm physically fit enough to wear the armor before I decide what I want to do with it." Smoothie says and begins making plans.
For now, she goes to put the armor on just to see exactly how much working out she needs to do before that even becomes viable.

Re: [MLP:Fim] Bridle Shores Bar/Downtown thread 2
"I'm aware I could do that, but it strikes me as a bad idea. I need to pay more attention to my body anyway, and if it's too heavy for me to wear at its normal weight, then all it takes is one spell for the armor to turn from a benefit into a liability." Smoothie says, managing to put all of the plate armor on.
She tried moving a little, but it probably didn't work very well. She did her best to move onto a scale to see how much more she weighed with the armor on than without it.
((No idea how much Smoothie weighs when normal. Just wondering how much the armor weighs.))

Re: [MLP:Fim] Bridle Shores Bar/Downtown thread 2
"How much did Simmer weigh?" Smoothie asks just out of curiosity. Man, that was an effort even making it over here. She immediately took her armor off and put it back on the mannequin with her magic. Yeah, she definitely needed to work on her body a little.
"And do you know why his was thicker?" she asked.

"His armor alone weighed 250lbs. I don't know how much Garion ever weighed though, seeing a he'd add to the total weight. But considering how big he was, that wasn't something to laugh at. And from what I could glean from his memories, his armor had been made thick so that it wouldn't keep any spells used on it. The thickness made it into an anti-magic armor instead. Simmer couldn't make use of this fact because he WAS the armor, and Summer will have that same problem."

Re: [MLP:Fim] Bridle Shores Bar/Downtown thread 2
"Aaaah. So the thickness of the material affects what it's good for. That's an interesting little detail. It was still vulnerable to magical lightning though, so it still has its drawbacks. I wonder if there's any easy non-magical way to simply remove that little trait from the armor...." she dives back into her thoughts.
