Flow

When Bloom reached the graveyard, she then came to a halt, then looked around for the statue that had interacted with her earlier. For sure, the looks of this particular one was ingrained onto her memory, especially when it had came alive right in front of her eyes, It did not take long till she found the grave with that statue. Almost imediately, she took note of the grave, noting its age, and how it withstood time, and the elements to retain such impressive form. It did made her ponder, was such statue treated with magic to maintain its form? But beneath all that splendor, were carvings of words that had aged very much, with a weathered look much opposite to the statue that rested upon it. Despite that, it was still legible enough to read. Upon reading the name "Chisel Black", Bloom immediately remembered who she was, thanks to Dax' "lectures" on Blackwater family history "Chisel..Black..Master Sculptor....AD... Ohhh...Now I remember! She was the one that sculpted the Two Sisters...but..it's quite sad that she passed not long after that. The thought of you creating your own headstones, or all these headstones, is unsettling. Well, at least that confirms that the two statues long existed before Horace," After that thought, the words suddenly seemed to glow, before it brought a feeling of relief to her, it was that kind of feeling of satisfaction, something that felt like she did a good deed, whatever that was, she felt refreshed. After a brief pause, Bloom then said, "Though, if you're thanking me for cleaning up back there, well...I should thank you for showing me such a marvelous work of art. You can pretty much say that was mutual for sure." She then smiled. Taking note of her surroundings in the graveyard, Bloom no longer felt frightened, but felt at peace, though, that was short lived when she remembered that she had to go back to the manor. "Well, thank you, I best be returning now," She said, before leaving the area in a slow canter.

Not really since Ive gotten used to it.

@Randimaxis @Widdershins Hmm...I'm thinking he could report back to the quarry to hear about the ongoing situation with the theft, then again I don't know any other method.

Ah yes, reading on Blackwater history surely helps in making posts, always handy.

@Randimaxis Bloom's guess on the next statue proved to be correct, as it reveals itself to be that of Princess Celestia. Like Luna, it was a sight to behold. She thought, of all the statues that sit on Blackwater property, why was it that these two were neglected for the overgrowth to grow upon? Such works of art would be a waste if they were to not be seen, and left to the elements to crumble. Were they not to be forgotten, they would make a fine display to visitors of Blackwater. "Shame, these both would prove to be popular to guests, of all the statues here, why these two? Why would they be neglected?" She thought, before she thought about the history of Blackwater, not long before it ringed a bell, "Hmm, could this.." And then the thought of Horace Blackwater came back to her, "Uhh...Horace? I remember that he refused to claim responsibility for deaths caused by his brewed product. Then that's when Celestia barred the Blackwaters from entering Canterlot...so I guess in response, he probably forgot about these statues for the overgrowth to take over. Though, that can be the case if these have existed around his time." She then thought about the sculptor of the two, "Okay, so did this sculptor exist around or before the time of Horace? Err...how would I find out?" She then thought about the statue back at Blackwater Ridge, the one that came up to her "Ah yes, that was the one that requested I clear this growth, wait...could that....could she be the one? Or could she have any relation to the one that sculpted these masterpieces? Err...I guess there's one way to find out," Bloom then turned around to the path back to Blackwater Ridge, then set off to search for answers on that gravestone. "I probably should return to the Manor, but a little glimpse into history won't hurt now, will it?" She thought, as she galloped on her way there.

Not a problem, I thought of a backup post for the RP, but this will do, get well soon.

Okay, I guess I have to control my character out of the area once the statues are cleared of the vines. I guess I should head for the quarry, knowing that Dax would be there.

I've been here since the forum's early days. When you think about it, it seemed like time flew by too fast, well happy birthday MLPF!

So after reading the last entry, I thought that Gold Dust is too demanding regarding his employment. I guess this could indicate that he was raised spoiled, given his wealthy background, so it's likely that he has never experienced any form of employment before. Looks to be an interesting read, really curious on Vylia's response.

While ridding the statue from the vines and overgrowth, Bloom took note that this one was taller than the other ones in the area, she then stopped to take a look around the area to find a similar statue, it too was covered in vines. "Okay, who could that be? Hmm, well a request is a request, guess I'll have to take care of that too." She thought, before continuing. Upon closer inspection, she noticed that this statue not only had wings, but a horn as well. It also sported a long, flowing mane, and it was striking a regal pose, all this baffled her, "Wait, I've seen this before, where could I have- Oh....That's no Blackwater....that's.." She thought before noticing the engraved cutie mark on the sculpture, now free of the vines. "P-Princess Luna!" She exclaimed, as she gazed at the detailed statue of the princess. She then turned her attention to the other statue, which Bloom thought was safe to assume to be of Princess Celestia, "So that must be Princess Celestia correct? Well, here I go again with the vines. This isn't my kind of thing in my line of work, but to see such spectacle is a wondrous experience." And with that thought, she approached the other statue to do the same thing she had done to the statue of Princess Luna.

@Randimaxis While heading down the path the statue pointed out, Bloom realized that this particular path either would lead back to the manor, or back to the way to Pitch Point, where they originally came from. Feeling pressured about finding the others, she thought about galloping her way through, but then remembered the request the statue made. Were she to ignore it, would be an insult to the code of the maid, and perhaps an insult to herself. Even if it came from an unlikely source within the premises, it was still a request, so she will have to fulfill it. Another thought that came up was why the statue had chosen her to carry out such task, might be because she was a maid who just happened to be in the area at the right time. Either that, or it could be her destiny to do so, but the latter seems highly unlikely to her. Once she reached the overgrown statue, she cleared the vines with care, "Hmm, wonder who was buried here? Only one way to find out. Err.... maybe there was a reason why I was told to come here, not just to clear this stuff away, but maybe it wanted to show me something, not too sure about it, but I'll find out soon enough," She thought.

So I've noticed that someone will be playing two characters, well allow me to bring a technique up in here. See that line? In order to do that, just simply type *[*hr*]* (remove the asterisks) and you can now create a seamless transition between two characters. Okay, with that out of the way, I do look forward to the next chapter of the story, the robbery of Silver, looks to be very interesting to read.

I actually own three 3DS consoles, one is a New 3DS (With C Stick), and the others were the older models. Playing on the 3DS has since been taken over by my Switch.

I will be using this nice sketch of Bloom by Gaines in the future, really impressed by it:

I last ate some dragonfruit, it's really good.

@Randimaxis Bloom expected to be struck, but was astonished to see that the statue came to a halt right in front of her. "Huh? Did that do it? What happened?" She thought, before observing the statue point towards a canopy of forest, and in it, was jut of carved stone, that appears to be poking out of a mix of thick vines and other wild overgrowth, "There? Err...how may I help with that?" She spoke, before remembering one of the many tales of Master Daxter, and the distinguished statespony, Illiad Easle of Troy, when he visited the manor. She recalled the time where the two had ventured out into that same area before. In almost an instant, she knew what was there. "The statue of a relative, I remember now," Bloom spoke, right before the statue brought it's hoof down, then seemingly stared at her, before it drew its hoof back and forth on the ground to spell a single word. "Clear? Oh I see, you would like me to clear that overgrowth on that statue correct?" Bloom said, figuring out what it wants her to do, then the the statue stared at her again, before returning to the same place it rested on. "Alright, I can take care of that," She said, before she left for the statue.

Is it the fact the Gold's rival is the "marefriend" of Dax? Or is it because Mystic is simply female?

As of now, a lockdown is in effect for Guam, so I don't see much people around.

Ordinary Sausage - Ice Sausage

@Blitz Boom I see, no problem with that then.

When you said latter, you mean Bloom correct? Well I don't like the idea of Bloom being an agent of some organization, as it was never my intention to write her as one. She isn't working for anyone, but the Blackwaters for now, and she arrived there at her own whim. Though, I am open for ideas for interactions with others.

I don't intend to write Bloom as an undercover agent for an organization, she just heard rumours of the shady doings of the Blackwaters. Being the caring type, and because of her persistent and naive nature, she made the trip there to see for herself, Vylia then intervened, which led to Bloom's employment, changing her perspective, and has made her grown fond of her fate. Though that's my idea.

@Windy Breeze 🥧 I'm not too sure yet, but it could go along the lines like: Because she bore a resemblance to an old friend, Bloom approached the pegasus to verify if it really is indeed her "F-Flow? Is it really you?" She asked before taking a closer look. From there, she realized that it was not her, but rather a doppelganger of her. Seeing that made the maid appolagize "P-pardon me, you just...looked like a old friend of mine. Oh yes, where are my manners...my name is Love Bloom, and I am a maid of the Blackwater manor, how may I serve you?" Though, that's just an idea for now, but it may happen upon the first interaction with my character. I look forward to your introduction in the RP.
