Strong Copper

Can't really post until the rest of the mane six does... Unless they popped out in different places...

@, Ignoring what the 'earthshaker' would have considered a personal insult of tone, Myopia closed the distance with haste and matched the pony's pace as he walked beside him. "To the point then. The Crystal Empire is at war with windigos. War has a habit of putting major strain on resources and personal. Thus, I want a list of what the Empire needs, what it is running low on and what it's low on that it vitally needs so that I can send a few letters and ensure that while we're running around in a Celestia damn desert that Thneed Co is providing this city with the supplies and resources it needs to not die pro bono. After all, ensuring that innocent ponies aren't eaten by ice ghosts sounds like it's in the public interest." Myopia would admit to himself that by doing this the company was going to lose a lot of profit, but it was the right thing to do. Besides, if anyone complained he could argue that the free good will from all of pony kind and being in the good graces of the High Queen herself would more then make up for the short term losses. Sometimes he had to wonder if he was a bastard, or just really good at thinking like one. As the dinner bell rang and after awaiting Slae's reply, Myopia politely nodded his head before asking " Which way to the dinning room?" Once he had that answer, the business tycoon began to make his way towards it and arriving after the two mares, both of whom had dressed up nicely for the occasion. Taking a moment to politely tip his hat towards both of them with a polite "You both look absolutely wonderful ladies." Myopia began the search for the place card with his name on it. He took his time, reading each card in turn before finally finding the one with his name on it... right next to the pretty mare in the golden dress. "Forgive me for asking, but I don't believe we were introduced earlier. Myopia Oncler, at your service." He offered to both of them, even if his attention was more on the mare in the golden dress.

Looks like you've hit your max. Have fun.

@@super2379, Her? You are aware that Myopia is male, yes?

I guess this is my official saying that Myopia's out. I just don't seem to have the time to get into Murder, you know?

@@MagicalStarRain, Indeed. And Thunder has once against sent out the 'Can I take you out to dinner' question at Chocolate Wish because he (Somewhat rightly) believes everyone else is insane and most likely going to die looking for this stupid myth. Getting a date with a coffee mare on the other hoof seems like a better use of his time. @@AnonBrony, That's the spirit you traitorous bastard!

@@MagicalStarRain, Honestly, I'm surprised that people have already started discussing who's going to be killing who yet when the chips are down. Greed and all that.

@, Myopia didn't say anything during the encounter with High Queen Cadance or in the brief but potentially violent shouting match with her servant after the former Princess of Love had vanished. Shaking his head in silent disgust, he made his way out of the room... by the door that Mr Slaes had taken. Moving with the practiced personal authority of one who found the very idea of being stopped as something that happened to other ponies, the top hat wearer moved at a stead pace in order to catch up with the retreating Slaes. "Mr Slaes!" Myopia called out to get his attention, planning on closing the distance when the male pony stopped. "There is something I wish to discuss with you that will no doubt benefit both of us and her majesty in the long run."

@@MagicalStarRain, ~Thunder~ Well, he got her laughing. Laughter was almost always a good sign. Allowing a grin to appear on his face (And completely ignoring the meeting which was the whole point he had come here in the first place) Thunder chuckled as he asked "Touche. Does this place offer dinner as well or can I at least take you out and pay for that?" with a slightly roguish spark in his eye. ~Myopia~ Myopia gave a small sigh as he was misunderstood by decided to keep his peace for the time being. There wasn't any issues or questions he felt the need to bring up at this very second after all and he wasn't one to waste time talking. Other ponies would no doubt be doing that for him.

@@Scribblegroove, Myopia didn't verbally answer the stallion right away for recognizing him and the kind of business that he was in. Tilting his top hat politely as a show of acknowledging the large stallion, the well dressed stallion watched silently as the male started talking to someone else. Taking a few moments to look around and listen to those ponies who were currently waiting alongside him, the self made tycoon couldn't help but notice the large differences in skills and manners. It made him wonder just what they were all being summoned to do that required them to throw the net over such a wide area for talent... @, Looking around for a moment for the pony who looked like they would have the best idea of what was going on, his eyes landed on what was clearly a really pretty mare. However, before he could go over and speak with her, the guards arrived and made it clear that her majesty would be speaking with them now. Shrugging his shoulders a little at the missed opportunity, he was amongst the first to enter the royal throne room. As awe inspiring as it was, there seemed to be something... off about it. Like a hard to see mark on a window that you couldn't see without really looking for it but still somehow distracting from the view outside. The High Queen herself was not only regal, but a true beauty of a mare. It only made sense that the ruler of such an awe inspiring city would be a true diamond herself and Myopia found himself clicking his tongue once at the knowledge that such a mare was already married. Still, watching her get angry was an interesting sight to see and certainly something that wouldn't be seen very often.

Alright, Myopia Oncler has been updated to a more Main 6 world version.

@@Pripyat Pony, Myopia isn't exactly rebelling. He is merely waiting until the Warped Government falls apart on its own. After all, Chaos demands change and they won't be in power forever... Which, when you think about it, is exactly what happened once the warped ponies left. Wood, stone and metal ores are going to be needed in the days to come. After all, in their own vanity they've let the country fall apart. With them gone, anyone with resources is going to come out ahead.

@@Pripyat Pony, It wouldn't be, since it would be spread out though out the Everfree. And let's face it, any pony despite enough to go into the Everfree in order to find rebels in order to gain the Warped Six's approval is going to stand out like a sore hoof.

@@Pripyat Pony, Okay! That's exactly what I wanted to hear. Just to run the idea by you: Warped World Myopia is somewhat like his mane 6 world counterpart with one major difference. When the warped six banished the sisters and took over, Myopia completely relocated both a lumber and mining camp from their locations into the everfree forest, setting up a major base of operations in the castle of the two royal sisters and training armed security. Once they had time to adept to life in the forest, they pushed in deeper, setting up their main settlement somewhere in the heart of the Everfree while having mining and lumber gathering operations running covertly within the forest. Thneed Co went from being a large company to its very own rogue government. Strangely enough, a much more stable one then the 'official government'.

@, Okay. Maybe a slight change of wording will make this question a little easier to understand... We know what the Warped Six look like. We know that they overthrew the three Princesses and are pretty much running the show (If Discord is by their side is a good question). And now those six warped ponies have buggered off to the Mane six's world. What we want to know is the state the Warped World is in when they left. The political landscape, the mindset of the different groups of ponies... Is the situation falling apart now that the warped six have left or has all sense of united government fallen apart and the local 'law' is made and enforced by the strongest group in the area? We want to know about the world the warped six have created in their twisted state of minds.

@, An interesting read and it answered a few questions I had about what the wrapped six looked like. But it doesn't really explain what the day to day warped world is like now that the wrapped six took over and screwed with stuff. If you want I could get started on 'Mane Six' world Myopia. Honestly I've been meaning to do that for a while anyway.

@, I was planning to do a bit of an update once I discovered just what sort of world they grew up in. I will be withdrawing Lautrec as well. As for the question about the setting... Okay, the Warped 6 have taken over Equestria and have been in charge of it until they teleported themselves to the mane six world. Just what sort of world have they left behind? Is it a run down Equestria that's on the verge of civil war now that the ponies in charge are gone? Is it a series of city states that hate each other? Is the political landscape sort of like the Fallout 3 one in which anyone who can gather enough followers can become a faction in the world with territories and laws? I'm waiting till I have a better picture of what world Myopia grew up in before editing him to live there.

@@Nomadic, @@MagicalStarRain, Myopia couldn't stop himself from letting out a small, amused chuckle. "Sir, this is merely the meeting to explain in further detail what the goals of this expedition are, such as where we will be going and what we could possible be facing. I am sure that the lovely ladies who are our hosts and the leaders of this little adventure aren't expecting us all to start heading off as soon as it is over. It can be assumed that in their wisdom they don't plan to start heading out without giving us all some time to gather equipment suited for the environment we will be traveling through. Right Lady Kanon?" He asked as he turned to look at the lovely mare with a friendly smile on his face. ~Thunder~ Tired of hearing ponies argue amongst themselves for the moment, the weather pony turned to offer Chocolate Wish a small, friendly smile again. "If you want to get yourself some coffee to stay awake, I'm willing to cover it." He offered, because why not.

As insane as all this is quickly becoming, Myopia seems hell bent on going. Thunder... considering that the only desire he seems to have at the moment is the pretty coffee mare going out to dinner with him and seeing where things go from there, he is going to need some talking around.

Many things could be said about the evening. Until a few moments ago, Myopia had been forcing himself to stay awake as the good Dr droned on and on about the history of ancient Egypt and why his discovery was going to change everything ponies knew about the age and how important a historical figure he was going to be. While the subject of history was an interesting one, the way Dirk spoke made it somewhat boring... and there was only so much you could hear somepony stroke their own ego and show the world how big it was by shoving it down everyone else's throats before you had to resist the urge to cause them bodily harm... Considering the now dead archeologist with the pencil jammed through his ear and into his brain, somepony had finally snapped and performed a service to the world. While clearly surprised by the fact that the evening had clearly taken a turn, the business tycoon didn't appear that distressed at seeing the now dead body. Turning to look at everyone else on stage with him, he didn't say anything just yet. What was there really to say? 'Oh sweet Luna he's dead!' just seemed kind of redundant after all. Be better to see how everyone else was reacting to the body in their midst.

@, While he hadn't really spoken to the crystal mare beyond the whole 'you should be speaking to her' thing, Myopia couldn't help but raise an eyebrow at the suggestion that the presence of Senor Dorado would have a positive effect on this trip. There was being polite for the sake of being polite, but that suggestion alone gave the business tycoon the sense that Lady Sonnet was full of something that wasn't candy. That mare was up to something... @@Nomadic, @@Windbreaker, Shaking his head a little to get back to the topic at hoof, hearing what appeared to be his name brought his attention towards the tanned pony. Raising his eyebrow a little, he simply said with a neutral tone of voice "Alright then. Why don't you inform us of what we will need then?"

@@super2379, Sir, you are awesome and deserve all the little purple unicorns.

@@Nomadic, Is this the recent remake of the Lorax, or the good version in which the environmentalist comes off as an arrogant elitist and thus gets ignored?

@@Nomadic, Challenge accepted! Feel the dread!

The train ride towards the Crystal Empire was rather peaceful in first class. Having gotten a well deserved nap on the trip and feeling good in the knowledge that the situation in Canterlot was in good paws, Myopia had taken a few moments to himself to enjoy the sight of the Crystal Empire in all of its glory. While the place wasn't something that Myopia would have put together, he was stallion enough to admit to himself that it was an interesting work of art for a major city. His few moments to himself come and gone, the formally dressed stallion made his way towards the grand palace that stood in what appeared to be the center of the city while a part of him wondered exactly which of the empire's rulers had desired such a palace built enough to go through with it. @@Scribblegroove, @@Pinkie Paranoia, @, @, The doors that led into the throne room were much like the rest of the palace; overly large and grand. Still, Myopia's gaze as he approached was on the gathering outside of the doors. It would seem that he was not the only one that had gotten an invitation to speak with her majesty on this day. Keeping his head held high and walking with a confidence earned the hard way, Myopia stopped a few feet away from the group before letting his horn glow in order to remove his top hat politely. "Good afternoon ladies and gentlecolts. I take it that her majesty is wrapping up a few last minute issues before seeing us?"
