ToriTheThespian

There weren’t many things in Thesbie's saddlebags, as per usual, fewer possessions made it easier to travel on the drop of a hat, something she had taken to doing a lot of. Technically, she didn't really even have a home to speak of; it was more of a string of hide outs and treasure vaults that she hopped back and forth between when a hotel room wasn't available Never staying in one place was always the safest way to get the job done in Thesbie's rather unique line of work, said line tended to consist of a lot of running from authorities and getting kicked out of town. Putting on an act wasn't easy, even when it was your cutie mark. Most ponies didn’t consider “con mare” to be a respectable job (and they were right) but it got her enough bits to put bread on her aluminum fold-up table. The whole airship crewing thing wasn't completely new to her, but it wasn't one of her many metaphorical (and literal) bottles of cider, still Thesbie had decided that it was the best option she was going to get for a long time. The pay was convincing enough on its own, but there was one deciding factor that sealed the deal. It wasn't often that Thesbie got to see her marefriend, and the thought of getting some Amber action totally made up for a little bit of manual labor. High on anticipation,she trotted springily across the elevated docks. "Amber! Where is that sweet rump of yours? I didn't come all this way for nothing" she called as she neared the slot indicated on the letter.

Thesbie was a con artist and a good one at that, one of the best. But she was very different from the other's in her line of work. She cared about ponies. This made her line of work a bit trickier but she makes it work. For some reason Striker tacking Autunm out there made her really mad. Maybe it was because of the hypocrisy of his actions. Or that she has a soft spot for mare's crying. Or maybe a mix of both but Striker acted very tenderly with Autunm which makes her feel better and worst because that adds to the hypocrisy. "Well both of you better get back here before Amber kicks you off for playing around on her ship."

Thesbie smiled "The name's Thesbie. You should get back on the ship though its not safe to fly around air ships. Not safe for the ship mostly but pegusi too." She shot another glare at Stiker "That goes for you too hot shot get back on the ship before Amber gets pissed." Thesbie softened her tone to go back to speaking to Autumn "I'm a friend of Amber's I'll be joining you on this little adventure."

Thesbie smiled evilly. "That is fantastic!" Her mind was filling with all sorts of fun ways to get that pompous jerk back for insulting her ship. She would hammer out the plan later. Thesbie looked over Ratchet's shoulder. "So how bad's the damage? How long do you think it will be before she's up and flying again?"

@ @@jdor11 Thesbie got up from where she was and rushed to the edge of the ship trying to get as close to Striker and Autumn as possible. She was pissed how could Striker put her out there? "Hey miss! Are you okay? Do you need help getting back on the ship?" She glared at Striker, he has the nerve to threaten her about hurting the other's then puts this mare out on a limb and scares her enough to cry? "OI! Mr. Second in command dont you sure have a funny way of keeping you're crew safe!" She turned her attention back to Autunm. "Hey, Autunm is your name right? I can levitate you back with my magic if you want."

Thesbie was bored just lounging around the ship. She was watching that Striker guy about to jump of the ship to fly around and he was trying to get another pegasus to join him. Though the mare was shy and didn't want to go flying with him. Why does he want to jump of the ship and go for a random fly when we were already in the air...... flying. But who was she to argue with his random need to fly. He if she was lucky she could turn the ship to hit him mid flight and she wouldn't have to deal with his suspensions of her. Not good for cons. But she had nothing against, what was the name she over heard, Autunm? Yeah that's what it was Autunm. She seems like a nice mare and she her get hurt but Thesbie decided to just watch and see what happened.

Thesbie gave a malevolent smile "Oh will ya now? I'll be sure to remember that." She turned and started walking way saying "Why dont you go check on your crew or something 'second in command'" Thesbie laughed a bit. She always got a kick out of people trying to threaten her or scare her. She stopped and touched the scare on her cheek. Thesbie scowled. 'I'm not just some helpless mare any one can push around...... At least not any more.' She decided to go look for Amber, she could already tell these weren't her kind of ponies aboard.

Thesbie took Amber's advice and went to meet the others. She hadnt gotten far when a pony came up to her asking who she was. "The name's Thesbie." She said with a smile. "I'm an old friend of Amber's she thought that this adventure was right up my ally. So of course I just had to come and check it out. And you? What are you here for?"

Thesbie's ears perked up "Treasure?" a wicked smile crossed her face. "I could always use a little more treasure." Though splitting with every one aboard might leave her with a small cut but Thesbie had her way's of getting money off people with out them knowing. Some one once called her the Queen of Cons. It sounded silly but Thesbie still liked it. She extended her hoof to Amber "Oh you can count me in."

Thesbie smiled and sat down next to Amber on the bed taking a swig strait from the bottle. "Me? Caught? Come on Amber...." Thesbie scooted closer to Amber and whispered in her ear "You know me better then that." She gave her a wink and got of the bed carrying the bottle with her magic. "So whats with all the passengers aboard?"

Thesbie had a huge grin on her face as Amber entered the room. "Did you use the fake Air force badge I made you? One of my best fakes if I do say so my self" Thesbie threw one of her for limbs around Amber's shoulders and brought her in close. "Got me out of another tough one. How about I get you a drink?" Thesbie walked around the room looking for some alcohol knowing Amber must have some somewhere.

Thesbie ran through the twisted back allies of the town. Three thugs were chasing her. A deal gone bad. How was she supposed to know it was a fake? In her escape she noticed a familiar air ship docked. Thesbie smiled seeing her way out of this predicament. She was much faster then the lumbering muscle heads chasing her. She quickly made her way to the ship dogging and weaving through the crowd. She ran on deck yelling "AMBER WE'RE TAKING OFF NOW! I'LL EXPLAIN LATTER! HURRY!"

"Hmmmmmm" Thesibe paced back and forth thinking about what she should do next. She saw Ratchet trying to get us screw driver. Her horn glowed as the screw driver floated to Ratchet. She still had to at least prank this guy to teach him not to diss Lassie. "Do you know what his room number is?" she asked continuing to pace.

Theisbe got of Ratchet and took in a deep breath "So I went to the kitchen because I was hungry and then this white pony with a black main showed up and started trash talking me and my ship so now I must find him and put that pompous jerk in his place." Thesbie rapped her forelegs around her ship and rubbed her face ageist its damaged hull affectionately "Dont worry I'll show him." She quickly turned her attention back to Ratchet "Now tell me about the pony I have described!"

"Yeah yeah next time I see him he'll regret it!" then a idea hit Thesibe. She was gonna show that stallion. She ran out of the kitchen towards the were they put her ship. She tackled Ratchet when she found him she sat on top of him and said "RATCHET!!!! There is this jerkface pony on the ship. I need his name back story and room number! The state of the world depends on it."

Thesibe watched the arrogant jerk leave the room. What was his problem? Prancing around like he is above everypony. She'll think of something to knock him down a noch or two. She went back to her quest for food. "So.... Lemony was it? When's dinner? And is there anything thing I can eat know?"

Thesibe was ticked by this new pony's attitude. Didn't Captain Party Pooper say to avoid a white pony with a black mane? she thought to her self. Thesibe the relised she didn't care and that she was going to put this pompous jerkface in his place. She marches over and looks him right back in the eye. "That 'hunk of metal' and I have been through a lot. And if you ever refer to her as a 'hunk of metal' again you'll be the one tossed over the side of the ship" at this point she was nose to nose with the guy glaring with intent to kill.

Thesbie side stepped not letting Striker hide behind her like a frightened colt. This was the guy trying to show off earlier? Lame. Thesbie looked around the kitchen confused "Um this is a kitchen right? I think it is pretty obvious why I'm here." She walks in and starts opening cabinets looking for something to munch on. "So.........." she said pulling her head out of a pantry. "Were's the food?"

Thesbie was confused by her question. "This is a kitchen and i want food. Seems pretty simple to me." She looked back at Striker who was hiding behind her. She raised an eyebrow at the Pegasus. “A better question is why are you hiding?” She at the yellow unicorn then back at Striker. “You scared of her or something?”

Thesbie smiled. He thinks they're his daughters.The sun was setting and Thesbie was hungry. "Sure we can get a drink, but after i eat something I'm starving." She took her time to walk the kitchen. There was a mare cleaning up. "Hey," Thesbie said walking in. "got anything to eat? I'm starving."

"And then I said, 'No soap, radio'" Aimie and Alexis laughed. Thesbie was laughing with them when Captain poopy pants walked in and decided to break up the party. "Awwww don't let make her go." Aimie said frowning. "Yeah we like her." Alexis said nodding her head. Thesbie took a swig from her bottle saying "Its okay ladies I'll come tell you more stories another time." Aimie reluctantly got out off Thesbies lap. Thesbie is being a lover of cider she has found a spell to summon the stuff. Her horn glowed and a fresh bottle of cider appeared on the desk. "A parting gift." She said as she left the room.

Thesbie was sitting at the desk in the cabin telling a story to the to mares who's names where Aimie and Alexis. They were sitting on there side of her listening intently. Striker came in apologizing for earlier and asking her out for a drink latter. "I might take you up on that." She took a sip form her bottle. "But right now I'm in the middle of something so run along." Thesbie leaned back in the chair, "Now where was I?" Ami pipped up, "Right after you escaped-" Then Alexis "And the fire fight started." Thesbie nodded then continued with her story.

Thesbie took a drink form her bottle. "Sounds like a good idea." She got up and started walking towards the door saying, "You better do a good job with Lassie." Thesbie was disappointed with the stallions on the ship. She decided to find some mares to entertain her. She wandered around the ship opening doors randomly and drinking her cider. Eventually she stumbled upon what looked like the Captain's cabin. In side were two mares that looked surprised at her arrival. "Well hello there ladies," She said politely "Allow me to introduce myself I'm Thesibe." Thesbie smiled as she closed the door behind her.

Thesbie nodded. "Okay we best get started." She started to use her magic to undo the screws and bolts putting them in a bucket she had found near by. From there Lassie collapsed into easily transportable pieces. "Alright lets get moving." Thesbie then started carrying a piece with her magic down to the cargo bay.

Thesbie was un-amused. After one bottle she had grown bored with Striker showing off. Thesibe found colts who like to show off annoying. 'Got sober for this?' She thought ticked. She simply turned and trotted back up to Lassie to help move her to the cargo bay for reppears. Thesbie walked up to Ratchet "So did you think of any ideas of getting Lassie to the cargo bay?"
