Cherry Bomb @@Scribblegroove, @@Midnight Scribbler Whilst the rest of the guests preoccupied themselves with one another, Cherry opted to take a back seat leaning half-way in through the carriage window and simply observe them from a distance, not that she wasn't keen on meeting them all, far from it, she knew she had the whole duration of the stay at the resort to meet each one personally, so she could afford to be patient. The red mare found her collection of new potential friends most interesting, a wide variety of ponies from different statures and yet unique in their own different way, the noble, the polite, the not so polite, the shy, the...erm...quirky and the care free, it was all there in one neat little package. Still, as the coach master had explained that the journey would take some time, it wouldn't have hurt to get started, the only question was whom? As the coach began to move Cherry instinctively climbed inside the coach, opting to climb in through the window between Scribblegroove and Sunset rather than using the door. Cherry noticed as she climbed in there were very few seats left to pick from, at least this would help pick which pony Cherry would meet with first. Glancing around the red pegasi did notice two earth pony mares sitting opposite each other roughly in the center, both were rather more quieter than the rest of the guests, maybe they would make a good start? @, @@Windbreaker Sitting down next to Dove Marigold, Cherry beamed at the white mare before doing the same in Poppy's direction , "Hi there! My name's Cherry, what're yours?" As she sat there, the small dribble of nasal mucus that was "generously" given by the sick colt, still clung within Cherry's mane within view if,that is if somepony actually wanted to look at it, but nonetheless, The red mare seemed completely oblivious to it.

"Hel-looooooooooooo Everypony!" the red pony sung at all the other guests before beaming at them brightly. As she righted herself, reveling herself to be a pegasus as she hovered outside the window, she crossing her fore-hooves as they leant against the window sill, "My name's Cherry Bomb, pleased to meet you all...now, I just have one question for all of you....what..TOOK you so long!?" The expression on Cherry's face turned from bright and perky to pouty and grouchy in almost an instant, "I have been here for SO LOOOOOOONG waiting for you guys!" "We were waiting for ten minutes." The coach master stated casually, he sighed as he stood outside patiently. "Well...it felt like ages.." Cherry hovered back a bit, looking away as she pouted with folded hooves across her chest,"But can you blame me? I just wanted to meet my brand new friends!" Without warning the red mare hovered close to the carriage window, reaching in through the window with her hooves as she abruptly wrapped her hooves around Scribblegroove's neck and hugged him tightly, cheek to cheek. For what would definitely seem like a long awkward moment, Eventually the peppy mare released her grip on the poor colt before turning her attention back tot he rest of the guests with the same bright cheerful smile, "SO!..who's excited about going?"

OOC @@Scribblegroove ...and Presto!" The small crowd that had gathered gasped and looked in awe at the griffon standing before them, who at this moment had a lovely dove perched on the end of his talon, having somehow managed to conjure it from thin air. As the magician raised his talon upward the dove simply opened up it's wing and took flight, a few of the onlookers looked up at it as flew away. It was a lovely, lazy evening in Canterlot that day, many a sophisticated pony were about now done with their daily tasks and simply wanted to spend this time to enjoy the rest of the day, sharing a hot beverage with a fellow work college or laying on a bench gossiping about whatever new trend had arisen lately, no better time for a spot of light entertainment. "Who likes card games?" Golbez asked cheerfully, only to answered by handful of small foals hopping up and down on the spot chanting "Me! Me! Me!" It made the griffon smile, remembering why he loved doing street performances like this. Golbez slid out a deck of cards from inside his tuxedo and began to shuffle them casually before spreading both his talons apart as a wall of cards flew rapidly from one talon to the other, doing this several times he quickly changes his methods as sandwiches the pack sideways between his talons, sliding his thumb and fore-talon to the top of the deck and pinching the top card he forces to jump up out of the deck , where upon well coordinated claws guide the card back randomly into the deck, followed by another, and another..and another, a rather amusing sight to a foal.

Cherry was, for lack of a better word, ecstatic, still staring at the grey colt, mouth gaping open and a look of being pleasantly surprised on her face. While Cherry 'squeed' internally the red mare abruptly swooped down and took Coat between her fore-hooves and hugged him against them and her chest, as she holds you firm and snugly you may think she was rather strong for a rather small mare which, after her puppet act, shouldn't have that surprising. "OhmygoshOhmygoshOhmygoshOhmygoshOHMYGOSH!! Mirror! Mirror! Come see Mr Coat Tails. He's a REAL actor! Can you believe it!?"

Mirror Image As Sunset addressed the masked unicorn, Mirror bit her bottom lip nervously, her actions hidden by her own mask, as she turned towards the other unicorn, "Um..h-hello..," looking through the mask the crimson coated mare certainly looked friendly enough, her friendly smile seemed to ease the tension she felt being with so many new...uncertain faces, however slightly, "Ugh...w-well...yes...t-that's why we're h-here," trying to copy Cherry's enthusiasm was harder than it looked for the nervous mare. "...Mirror! Mirror!..." Mirror perked an ear up as Cherry called her from the front, looking ahead the masked unicorn found her assistant seemingly trying to hug the life out of poor Coat Tail, "Oh dear...." Regardless, Mirror took this like a life-line that had just been thrown to her, looking back at Sunset she promptly bowed her head at the crimson unicorn, trying to look polite to her at least before she went after her assistant, "Um..please excuse me."

@@Evilshy, @, @, @@Midnight Scribbler, @@SilverHeart, Coat Tails attempt to further compliment the red mare by the use ff a well used phrase would usually end in rather predictable results, the colt would have piped the mare's interest in him further and thus allowing him to get to know her better, usually over a hot beverage or other snack and the notion of the two hanging out more often becomes more and more likely. Such a thing a s this normally occurs at least about 99.8% of the time that it occurs. Unfortunately as it so happens, Cherry happens to be the other 0.2 %. "Well that's not a very nice thing to say," as the red mare hovers in place she looks folds her fore-hooves whilst staring at at Coat tail rather sternly, cheeks slightly puffed up and all. "Are you saying that you would say that to only the mares that actually look pretty? Is that what your telling me?" Cherry leans herself forward enough for her nose to just poke against Coat's own nose, her eye's "fixed" on his. The mare raises a hoof and begins to abruptly poke at his chest and shoulders as she continues to tell the grey colt off, "Is that the sort of thing you "wouldn't" want to say to somepony just because they didn't have good looks?! Is it? Huh? Mr fancy good looking Actor! Hmmph!" Cherry turns her back on Coat Tail, her nose fore-hooves again folded and her nose stuck up in the air. After a very brief moment Cherry abruptly turns right back round again and pokes a hoof at Coat's nose, "And another thing!!

My point is you do not goaroungjudgingmaresbytheirlooksandtellingonlytheonesyoulikeareprettybecauseit's Not fair!!" By the time Cherry had finished ranting she was on the brink of just nearly screaming in his face, after which she merely stares coldly at him for some time before withdrawing, sitting on her haunches and taking a deep breath, steadily exhaling as her "fury" subsides. "So!...tell me about your acting career," Cherry once again beamed her friendly smile at the grey colt, innocently acting as if nothing had just happened at all, "What kinda work did you do?...Could you show me please? Pleeeease pretty please!?," as Cherry flutters her eyelashes at Coat tail, it may dawn on you that the Red Pegasi's emotions would change at the drop of a hat, better be careful.

@@Evilshy Cherry Bomb Cherry couldn't help but giggle in a rather shy manner after Coat Tails complimented her," Aw I bet you say that to all the mares!" Still giggling, the red mare spreads her wings, as she flaps them gently she begins to hover slowly in the air just short of the ground. She manuvers herself to directly face the grey colt, hovering backwards right in front if him and to the groups walking pace. "Actually, me and Mirror both travelled here not too long ago, Hey where you from? You sound a little Upper Class."

@@Evilshy Cherry Bomb The evening air was beginning to get a little chilly as Cherry stood outside patiently, her body quivered as a slight chill ran down her spine, enough to make her spread her wings out and flap them once to catch and trap some sir in her wing feathers for some extra warmth. Upon hearing hoof steps behind her the red mare looked behind over shoulder, spotting Coat Tail, she stretch de her lips up into a wide grin, upon looking on the Pegasi one would notice an 'air' of a care-free, cheerful positiveness about her, just looking at her friendly smile makes you return it in kind. "Hey there!...shall we get going?" Averting her gaze away from the grey Unicorn to look at the others in turn before Turing right back round again and begin walking down the street. As Cherry walks she spares another curious glance towards Coat Tail,"Soooooooo, what.'a your name?"

Oh! I know! I know! Mr Cask said we would be having a special dinner up at the grand mansion specially for you, come on I'll show you!" Without further warning the red mare skipped her way past the guests and out of the theater entrance. "Well come on then, slowpokes! I thought you were hungry?" Looking back Cherry beamed at the guests as she waited for them to follow her.

@@SilverHeart Cherry Bomb Cherry smiled at Mirror before talking quietly back to her cloaked friend, "Are you sure Mirry?...It was just a little accident that could have happened to any-pony..maybe...sorta...anyway I'm fine really....are...are you ok? Cherry reached a hoof up Mirror's face as she ever so carefully slid her mask down to look at her friends face and moved her own head closer to Mirrors , blocking the view and preventing any-pony else from looking, Cherry knew exactly why Mirror wore a mask and she respected her friends wishes, hence why she was being so careful with it. After sliding Mirror's mask back Cherry playfully poked Mirror's nose with an accompanying giggle, "Y'know ya do look alittle worn out, do you wanna get some rest before dinner while these guys around?"

"Sorry about that, but that was unavoidable situation, I hope you understand," Cherry smiles at the group rather sheepsihly before she clears her throat "Aaaaaanyhoo, you must be the "trial run" group Lord Blue Bunce asked for right?

After several of the strings were cut, Cherry could feel her limbs able to move more and more freely. Seeing her chance, not allowing Emersld to entirely cut all the strings Cherry abruptly kicked all four limbs outward, effectively snapping the remaining strings left and finally freeing herself. As she rolled herself onto all fours, Cherry didn't waste any time in relishing her freedom as she hopped up in the sir and started buzzing over the other ponies heads,"I'm FREEEEE, I'mfreei'mfreei'mfreeeee, thank you so so much!"

"Uuuuuum," Cherry stared straight up at the huddled small crowd of ponies standing over her, it was beginning to get more than just a bit embarrassing, "Do you have to cut it?

@@Evilshy, @, @, @@Midnight Scribbler, @@SilverHeart, ?????? ???? Freeing the red mare from her tangled predicament would prove to be easier said than done, in Pegasi's attempt to free herself she somehow managed to get herself tangled even worse, trying slide one limb from up, over and under one piece of string somehow manged to get another more tangled up. Unlike some toy puppets which were easier to control with very few strings, the two performing mares had insisted on using "a lot" of string to give the illusion that the red mare was a worn, high quality puppet which used many strings for more fluent movements, in theory it sounded a brilliant idea but in practice, as the Pegasus proved, not so much. The tied up and tangled Pegasus looked up at Sunset with a sheepish grin at her embarrassing situation, nonetheless she nods as her offer at assistance as she begins to tell her directions. "Um..ok..you hold this one while I...no that's not right....oh I know, bring that one here and slide that one over...no no, "that" one and OW! owowowowleggoleggoleggo....ooooooh...um....ok "now" I know, see that one there?

@@SilverHeart, @, @@Umbreon, @@Midnight Scribbler, @, @@Evilshy, @ ?????? ???? As the marionette emerges from it's hiding spot a pair of wings fold out abruptly from either side of it's wooden body, looking closely one may have even seen the wings tips jutter as they came to a stop, proof of the puppet's somewhat "tacky" quality. The marionette stalls for a moment as it flips it's neck around to stare at each of it's own wings in turn for some time, almost as if it were thinking there was a chance they would fall off which wouldn't have been surprising. Despite looking from a distance the marionette didn't look like it was well looked after, it's red paint looked rather worn in certain area's with it's dark wooden body revealed in many places. The only part of the puppet that in fact didn't look scruffy was it's moderately long mane and tail, which was groomed rather well, more than likely the manipulators attempt to at least try and make the puppet look presentable but was cut short on time. Maybe this wasn't even her performing puppet? Perhaps it was just one she just practiced with instead? It certainly would explain a lot about it's very rugged appearance. As the Manipulator made the Marionette satisfied with it's wings by flapping them rather clumsily whilst it's body bopped up and down, the puppet's control bars levitated from out under the raised curtain and slowly moved together towards the audience, carrying the wooden mare with it, it didn't even look convincingly like it was flying as it just hung there swaying from the momentum with it's wings just sticking out. As the Marionette simply hung there for a brief moment in close proximity to the crowd, without warning it suddenly...toppled to the ground in a heap of it's own limbs after the control bar drooped abruptly, a rather clumsy landing indeed. The wooden bars above the puppet slowly began to rise up again as it, in a way, picked itself up again, it's wings folded flat against it's sides loosely, the strings holding the wooden mare up slacked ever so slightly as it's head swayed ever so slowly allowing it to look at each of you in turn. As it stood there right in front of all of you you could now all see how badly the wear on the puppet really was, the amazing thing was the rest of the puppet that still looked good, it looked so...lifelike, especially the eye's...it was hard to explain but they just seemed to be full of life. Obviously, some-pony had given quite a lot of time and effort into this wooden mare, it just seemed such a shame that it was allowed to get into such a bad condition, some of you may even find this rather sad. The puppet itself didn't seem to mind so much however, in fact it looked like it didn't have a care in the world, a small, albeit un-moving smile could be seen clearly on the marionette's muzzle, a rather friendly smile if anything. Eventually the puppet's strings pulled it along as it clumsily stepped even closer towards you, it's blank stare fixed to Emerald in particular. As the Marionette Stood in front of the Unicorn it appeared as if it was looking at her curiously as it allowed it's head to lean to the left while maintaining it's stare...then to the right...then to the left again, only a bit too much as the puppet looks at Emerald almost sideways, as it's neck straightens up again the puppet raises a slumped loose hoof close to the mare's muzzle as it ...*boop*...gently poked her on the nose, the frozen smile on the puppet's face might have suggested it's act was playful possibly, as the puppet raised it's hoof and patted the Unicorn on the head, it's actions were definitely justified. The puppets wooden control bars abruptly moved sideways and dragged the puppet with it, with it's hooves dragging helplessly along the floor, stopping just as abruptly now in front of Coat Tails. The Marionette ends up standing very lopsided, as the puppet's wooden bars rise they allow the puppet to, "re-compose itself", before being lowered on it's own hooves again. The Puppet once again merely stares at Coat Tails as it did with Emerald, only this time it doesn't move it's head, instead it seemed content to just stand there and stare at him. Without warning the puppet moves even closer, reaching out both hooves and loosely placing them on his shoulders as it continued to just keep staring at him, her head ever so slightly began to lean from side to side, as it blinks you think if it weren't for the wear and tear, the puppet might have looked rather pretty to you, beautif...wait ,did it just blink? No...No, it couldn't have been, it was probably a trick of the li- "Ehheeheeheehee..." the puppet's smile grows wider as a small giggle emit's from it, "Hey, your actually kinda cute." SHE'S NOT A PUPPET!! SHE'S ALIVE!! As you all watch and this fact suddenly dawns on you all the red mare abruptly places her hooves on Coat Tails cheeks, taking pure advantage of your shock as she plants her lips against his and steals a sneaky kiss from him, "mmmmmmMMMMMaah!", the red Pegasus mare winks, grining mischievously as the wooden control bars still connected to her quickly lift her away from you, only for them to fall rather suddenly, dropping the mare onto the floor just short of the stage before the wooden bars themselves land on top of her one-by-one,"Wha- WHOAH!..Oof!...ooooowowowowowow...Mirrooooor!" Amongst the tangled mess of string and wood the red Pegasus looks up at the cloaked pony still standing on the stage and calls up to her, albeit not so much call as "Whine" at her if truth be told.

*Golbez smiles at Chetterbox before briefly pecking her on the cheek* Hello Chatty, it has been a long while hasn't it? It's nice to know you haven't forgotten about me, how were your travels?
