[FwM] As Equestria Turns:MLP Without the Kiddy Thread 9

[Benson]

S-sorry... I get that it's serious, but... She giggled. It's like it was ripped right out of a soap opera synopsis... Come ooooooon...

He simply just rolled his eyes, he wasn't in the mood to talk to her, not that she probably cared if he didn't.

"You know that to be not true," Icy said, smiling wanly. "Anyhow, let's get you home then..." She nudged the stallion along, ready to support him if he wobbled.

"Story of my life, I know," she quipped dryly.

"I know...I was just being silly..or something..." He gave her a tired lick on the cheek. It was an exhausting day.

"Both, to some extent! Obsidian can get a really good edge, 'n magma's one of the hottest things ya can get! Of course, most magma forges either need a good pumpin' system or to be underground, 'cause ya can't keep a good source of lava above ground for long without it coolin', 'n if ya're keepin' it hot all the time, ya might as well just use yar heat source for keepin' it hot for what ya were usin' lava for in the first place! Now, not a lot of ponies like to live underground, but there's one around here with powers over earth..."

"I know of Burrowers with powers over the earth and ground, but no ponies. Is it magical or some sort of natural ability?"

[PurityIcekiller]

"I know of Burrowers with powers over the earth and ground, but no ponies. Is it magical or some sort of natural ability?"

"Well, she's kind of a unicorn, 'n there's not a lot it couldn't be that isn't magic of some kind or another! What kind of way do yar 'Burrowers' have powers over earth? 'Cause it might be related to them, but it might be just unicorn magic. I'm not sure. I'm no magic expert."

[Orzel]

"Hmmm, that's a lot...but...kinda doable...." He curiously furrowed his brows at Juribean. "And why not?"

""Because he'd probably kill you because you now know of his criminal activity. she answers nonchalantly.

[Grif]

He simply just rolled his eyes, he wasn't in the mood to talk to her, not that she probably cared if he didn't.



"I know...I was just being silly..or something..." He gave her a tired lick on the cheek. It was an exhausting day.

"Let's just get you home," Icy said gently, leading Fox towards the direction of his house. She turned towards Hay Bale. "Are you going to stay or what?"

[HalfTangible]

"Let's just get you home," Icy said gently, leading Fox towards the direction of his house. She turned towards Hay Bale. "Are you going to stay or what?"

Hehehe. You kidding? I wanna see how this whole mess goes... Besides, i got nothin' better to do. She trotted after them. Need help carrying him?

[KerfuffleMach2]

Ice Cream Bar

Astra tilted her head a little. You were hit by lightning? Ouch.

[MCerberus]

Tyrol would dispute that, but then, busy.

Afterwards, he cuddled Staccata gently. "You were quite... something there..." he commented, nuzzling her.

Staccata nuzzles Tyrol right back before planting a little kiss on his snout. "I wouldn't sell yourself short either."

[Benson]

""Because he'd probably kill you because you now know of his criminal activity. she answers nonchalantly.

"What?...But...but..." Ember swallowed hard, a little knot in his throat. "How am I suppose to ya know.....buy you out of that life.....if he'd just whimsically..kill me......"

"Let's just get you home," Icy said gently, leading Fox towards the direction of his house. She turned towards Hay Bale. "Are you going to stay or what?"

Hehehe. You kidding? I wanna see how this whole mess goes... Besides, i got nothin' better to do. She trotted after them. Need help carrying him?

"Really Icy? You gave her the option of following us some more? Again?" Fox sighed, the whole 'got nothin' better to do' made him roll his eyes. Insert another random spasm.

"I don't require your assistance Hay Bale," He bitched. Mostly because, he didn't want to be subject again to her just floating him in her magic, the immobility he felt....nnggggh.

Icy rolled her eyes. "I think she's hardly the type to take no for an answer, unfortunate as it may be."

Staccata nuzzles Tyrol right back before planting a little kiss on his snout. "I wouldn't sell yourself short either."

"Thank you," Tyrol said quietly, planting a small kiss of his own on her neck. "This... is something different really. Never really had somepony to look forward to before." He grinned wryly. "Never thought I would meet you either."

Meanwhile, a young blue-coated colt with a black mane just arrives from the north-west near one of the doors, he's wearing a caparisoned plate armor, a shield on his back and a pretty big sword sheated on his left below the caparison, looks a bit lost and to come from pretty far away so he's obviously tired, he stops for a moment and sighs, then walks towards the door, there's 2 guards ....guarding the door
((I'm just adding them there since I don't know what to do now ))

"I don't require your assistance Hay Bale," He bitched. Mostly because, he didn't want to be subject again to her just floating him in her magic, the immobility he felt....nnggggh.

"And I don't require your endless bitching, but I get that anyway."

[Orzel]

"What?...But...but..." Ember swallowed hard, a little knot in his throat. "How am I suppose to ya know.....buy you out of that life.....if he'd just whimsically..kill me......"

"Anonymity. Don't go it person. Since you are just a camerapony and no one of major importance, he wouldn't fear the consequences of your death." answers Juri. She knows not of Ember's allies or even who he is. She even believes that she could even snap his neck with no fear even with no formal hit contract.

[Benson]

Icy rolled her eyes. "I think she's hardly the type to take no for an answer, unfortunate as it may be."

"And I don't require your endless bitching, but I get that anyway."

He just sighed, there was no point vocalizing against two mares, it was genetically programmed he'd lose. He started walking to his house, well the general direction from the Clinic here.

"Anonymity. Don't go it person. Since you are just a camerapony and no one of major importance, he wouldn't fear the consequences of your death." answers Juri. She knows not of Ember's allies or even who he is. She even believes that she could even snap his neck with no fear even with no formal hit contract.

"Oh..I...okay," He shuffled his hooves a little. 'Oh yea.....I was so derp......I forgot to ask you your name. So, uh, what is your name?" He shyly smiled.

((I'm just adding them there since I don't know what to do now ))

The guard at the gate perked up seeing a new pony. "Wow, three new ponies in one day......though.......why would anypony want to come to this hick town?..." He mused to himself. He then decided to call out at the new pony.

"Halt, identify yourself," He told the new pony.

"Halt, identify yourself," He told the new pony.

The young colt raised his head and answered:
"My name's Luka, Luka Stormshield, I'm from the west.... my home got attacked by Dark Forces, been traveling for 3 days"

He seems really tired, looks like the travel he had wasn't just a simple walk throught a road.....
His armor was tinking slightly

Astra tilted her head a little. You were hit by lightning? Ouch.

"Yeah. Ah, seven times. Not all at once, though. And I was serious lucky that Rigs- I mean Moonlight, knew so much about that kind of thing. Comes from wearing plate mail too often, I guess."

"Well, she's kind of a unicorn, 'n there's not a lot it couldn't be that isn't magic of some kind or another! What kind of way do yar 'Burrowers' have powers over earth? 'Cause it might be related to them, but it might be just unicorn magic. I'm not sure. I'm no magic expert."

"Neither am I, to be honest. For me it just kind of um, happens. As for the Burrowers, they're kind of um...enigmatic. The best explanation I've gotten from them of what they do is 'Earthquakes are natural, we just convince them to do what we wish.' And then um, usually something about worms. They really like worms."

[Orzel]

"Oh..I...okay," He shuffled his hooves a little. 'Oh yea.....I was so derp......I forgot to ask you your name. So, uh, what is your name?" He shyly smiled.

Juri moves her snout closed to Ember's and whispers "You may call me Juribean, sweetcheeks. Everypony else does."

[Benson]

The young colt raised his head and answered:
"My name's Luka, Luka Stormshield, I'm from the west.... my home got attacked by Dark Forces, been traveling for 3 days"

He seems really tired, looks like the travel he had wasn't just a simple walk throught a road.....

"That's.....something.......Just about one or two months ago...this town was attacked/invaded by a group who called themselves that, hauh.." This turned awkward fast for the NPC who was not expecting a sob story so soon, or ever, since he was an NPC and he knew his place.. 'I uh....well...we have a clinic...if you have injuries that need a looking over...I uh...sorry about your loss."

Juri moves her snout closed to Ember's and whispers "You may call me Juribean, sweet cheeks. Everypony else does."

He shyly blushed at the lack of personal space here, complete with awkward smile and glancing to the side. Taking a quick breath, he took a few steps back to put space between them and sported an earnest smile. 'Well, if its okay with you Miss Juribean, I'd like to be your friend. Ah..oh yea....my name, is Ember Sol."

[MCerberus]

"Thank you," Tyrol said quietly, planting a small kiss of his own on her neck. "This... is something different really. Never really had somepony to look forward to before." He grinned wryly. "Never thought I would meet you either."

"That could have been because you were afraid to look," Staccata replies joking just a bit. Already in a cuddle-hug she gives the stallion a little squeeze.

[Luka]

"That's.....something.......Just about one or two months ago...this town was attacked/invaded by a group who called themselves that, hauh.." This turned awkward fast for the NPC who was not expecting a sob story so soon, or ever, since he was an NPC and he knew his place.. 'I uh....well...we have a clinic...if you have injuries that need a looking over...I uh...sorry about your loss."

"Thanks, I think I'm going there then"
He sighs and walks in, then he heads to the clinic just in case he's got something else on him when a pile of rocks fell on him, he's also got several cuts and stuff when fighting back home. He's REALLY tired.

[PurityIcekiller]

"Neither am I, to be honest. For me it just kind of um, happens. As for the Burrowers, they're kind of um...enigmatic. The best explanation I've gotten from them of what they do is 'Earthquakes are natural, we just convince them to do what we wish.' And then um, usually something about worms. They really like worms."

"So sort of like the way pega... However ya pluralize it... Sort of like the way they handle clouds, but with earth? Or something else? Well, those 'Burrowers' sound like they'd be nice to meet sometime, anyway!"

[Orzel]

He shyly blushed at the lack of personal space here, complete with awkward smile and glancing to the side. Taking a quick breath, he took a few steps back to put space between them and sported an earnest smile. 'Well, if its okay with you Miss Juribean, I'd like to be your friend. Ah..oh yea....my name, is Ember Sol."

"Fri.. Fri... f-f-"

She broke again.

[Benson]

"Thanks, I think I'm going there then"
He sighs and walks in, then he heads to the clinic just in case he's got something else on him when a pile of rocks fell on him, he's also got several cuts and stuff when fighting back home. He's REALLY tired.

He'd be a given a look over and check up, depending on what his ailments are, shall be up to ye.

"Fri.. Fri... f-f-"

She broke again.

"Are....are you okay? Juribean?" He asked startled by her brokeness.

[Luka]

He'd be a given a look over and check up, depending on what his ailments are, shall be up to ye.

((Oh I though somepony would be there ))
He would get fixed then start wandering around for a place to rest.

[Orzel]

"Are....are you okay? Juribean?" He asked startled by her brokeness.

Juribean slaps herself mentally. It must be another trick. Play along.

"I never had a friend before. Well there is Mr. Happytime but he does not talk much. And the washing machine just churns. Always too busy for anypony."

[Benson]

((Oh I though somepony would be there ))
He would get fixed then start wandering around for a place to rest.

Clinic is NPC run, for rest there's the Civic Center, which in this universe is more like a small commons house shared by other strays, wanderers, refugees who don't have the means of staying at the Hotel, let alone their own house. Oh yea, there's a Hotel, which is also NPC run.

Juribean slaps herself mentally. It must be another trick. Play along.

"I never had a friend before. Well there is Mr. Happytime but he does not talk much. And the washing machine just churns. Always too busy for anypony."

Must be...imaginary friends.....that's really depressing... He put on a awkward chipper smile for the both of them. "Well, I'd like to be your first friend."

[Orzel]

Must be...imaginary friends.....that's really depressing... He put on a awkward chipper smile for the both of them. "Well, I'd like to be your first friend."

"Oh. I never had a pony shaped friend before. Well people have wanted to be my special friend before. What do we do now, Mr. Sol?" asked Juribean.

[Benson]

"Oh. I never had a pony shaped friend before. Well people have wanted to be my special friend before. What do we do now, Mr. Sol?" asked Juribean.

"Well........I guess.......I'll invite you to dinner at the place I'm staying at," He nodded in assurance. He'd figure he'd tell Aubade and....oh yea, Lochbed, he'd make sure to...explain correctly as not have the kelpie misunderstand some things he she would definitely.......misunderstand. "Ooh, you can meet my friends." Since Grills would be stopping over with food apparently, dinner food, or so the lech stallion said.

"Oh Okay. I'll go to your party." Juribean offers a hoof for a shake. "Can I get those pictures now?"

[Benson]

"Oh Okay. I'll go to your party." Juribean offers a hoof for a shake. "Can I get those pictures now?"

"Its not a party, anyway, you can't go if you don't know where to go," He chuckled lightly and then told her the directions to the house he was staying at.

"For the pictures.........it'll be a bit before they're developed...anyways......I can...ring you up for the uh....evening wear if you want to buy them," He was sheepish about that.
