open Casual stroll

Holiday Agnaktor · November 14, 2016

The blue pegasus gasped loudly when the pony with the pink manes hugged her. She had been expecting a pity hug at best, but she wasn't prepared for this. A huge amount of love was practically shoved directly into her heart, and she didn't know what to do with it. In all her time at the Hive she'd never had this much love in her. She filled her reserves up to the brim, but even after that there was more love than she could have ever been prepared for. She didn't even know there could be this much love in one place.

She had to divert the stream of love that was still flowing into her, or else she would find out what happened if a changeling's love reservoirs were completely filled up. It would probably include her shapeshifting a lot.

She managed to channel most of the energy into her manes, which started changing colour rapidly whilst being surrounded by green fire.

Oh sweet Chrysalis.

After the hug had ended the pink-haired pony that had probably blown her cover asked her if she was feeling better.

Well, she did feel better than she had ever felt since...forever, but she had probably been caught. Which was a really bad thing.

"Ehhh....yes....? ...Um... I'm sorry...?"

Whilst still panting a bit from all the love, she looked nervously at all the other creatures present to see if any of them had noticed her manes pretending to be a disco on fire.

She looked a lot better, maybe even slightly bigger than she had been before. She also had bright lime-green manes now.

With a final grunt Frosty finally managed to pull Blitz away from his neck.

"Hah! Finally got you, you little explosive little-"

Frosty looked up when he heard a gasp, and saw Summer hugging a pony he hadn't seen before.The weirdest thing about the scene in front of him though, was the fact that the new pony's mane was changing colour very fast. Frosty didn't know much about mane-styling, but he was pretty sure that this wasn't normal.

After Summer stopped hugging the other pony, the colours stopped changing too. He left Blitz lying in the sand, and walked up to the others, not quite sure what had just happened.

@@Blitz Boom, Cyan's suspicion began to ebb away, replaced by slight but still reluctant sympathy, as Happy explained himself. He was right - he never once had lied, simply refrained from telling her and Golden Spell a detail about himself which happened to be rather significant. This did not mean to say that she hadn't noticed that he almost seemed to be acting a bit too friendly, although he was likely just making an effort to come across as unlike the changelings who had attempted (and failed) to invade Canterlot. Sighing, she glanced at Golden Spell and he nodded in agreement.

"Sorry I made assumptions," the pegasus mumbled quickly and barely audibly. "Let's just continue to wait it out."

"Well, it is good to see that you are getting along now."

Lyriel briefly looked over towards the two ponies that were still playing in the sand, just i time to see Blitz being put down on the ground and Frosty making his way over here. She could have left it at that, but she were feeling a little mischevous, so she had a root rise up from deep below the sand and grip hold in Blitz, rising her into the air.

"Woah!"

The long root would grow and eventually place the filly in Lyriel's arms, though they didn't focus much on this exchange, compared to what were happening with the strange pony they had run into.

"Huh, I didn't know ponies could light themselves with green fire and change colors. "

Lyriel looked confused as she saw the other pony suddenly get spurts of green fire going over her mane, amongst other place, whilst Blitz on the other hoof... Well, she rose her hooves high and giggled a lot, clearly excited from seeing this sort of pony that she had only ever heard about. Not much, granted, but you couldn't be in Canterlot for any length of time without hering something about them.

"Yey, a bugpony!"

Null had never been one to keep her trap shut when it were, and especially not when it came to voicing her opinions on ponies that were acting like bullies or brats, so hearing this sort of stuff from these ponies weren't something she just took. Sure, she didn't have any unicorn in her family line - that she knew of - and her own experiences with them back home left her with a dim view on them for sure, but she were far away from home now and the locals seemed nice so far, including the unicorns, so having a stab at them wasn't called for. Not by her, and certainly not by these geezers, so to speak.

They likely wouldn't listen to her though. A small pegasi that was missing a wing likely wouldn't be good enough from the viewpoint of somepony who only thought their own kind good enough. Likely to them, she'd be no better than an earth pony, though if they had the gals to say this openly... She might be here to help 'em, but Celestia save them if they poked to her like that.

Over at Void, she didn't look angry as directly horrified from what she heard against pegasi from these other ponies. Sure, they seemed old fashioned and all, but this kind of thing shouldn't have been an issue since... She didn't even know how long ago, at least in Equestria. Likely over a millennia.

"H-Hey, the pegasi are nice ponies too. My sister i-is a pegasi, and she's always been good to me."

She might be a little larger than most other earth ponies here, but Void wasn't as confident and strong of will as her sister, so even if she had said her opinion, she would bow for theirs, afraid of making confrontation if the backlash would become harsh for her opinion. or heck, for the fact that she were in family with a pegasi. Depending on how keen these were on separation of the three races of ponies, that might not be seen upon very nicely.

Florence didn't know what to say as she were told the bit that she apparently were allowed to hear about Zen's master, though perhaps this were a situation where the more she spoke the more she'd just dig herself in. It just sounded weird to her, but she supposed that everything was possible in this world, so why not this? Wasn't as far out as the thing that had attacked yesterday if you thought about it anyway, which had really tested her limits as to how weird things could get.

Perhaps she should just stop thinking on that and move one instead. Wasn't like it sounded like what she had sorta hoped for anyway, so as she locked up the box knickknacks and tools that she had found - now certain that there were no more out here - it began to faint a little by little from her mind, relegated to some corner of her mind amongst other, lesser important things.

"Okay then, I think we have everything then. Can we go back now Needle?"

The other pony looked flustered at the griffin before nodding and taking the things he had on a trolley that he dragged along behind him, as they made their way towards the hospital.

"I-If you still wanna help, you can follow us back and we can see where they might need help?"

Happy let out a deep sigh, then smiled back at the two ponies that seemed to give him a chance after all.

"It's okay lass, I know the reputation that surrounds my kind, so not judging there. I'm just happy we could get it sorted before any guards got involved. Your prison system doesn't have a good reputation when it comes to changelings, and I appreciate not having to get a personal experience about how bad it can get."

So, he'd gotten through this hurdle at least, so that was a plus. He still had other sorts of issues to deal with when it came to these now that they knew what he were, such as random stuff happening around them being assumed had something to do with him and that he'd be kept an extra eye or two on, but that sort were minor things that he could live with. He had to play a little more cautiously from now on though, that were a given, but it wasn't the first time, and it wouldn't be the last. Well, hopefully not the last.

He didn't get to say anymore before the action started to go over town from where the beast were getting defeated now. They had gotten out of sight out here, but even here they'd be able to see/hear some of what went on there, albeit perhaps a bit muted in it.

"Was that... By the queen, do you think that they... Actually won over that thing?"

The worry in his voice were as genuine as anything could be as the thought of anypony being able to defeat that monstrosity came into mind, and what that would mean for any other invading force in general.

back home they had assumed Chrysalis a weakling for falling to this happy country, but if they had the sort of fighters in this land that could actually defeat a monster like that... Perhaps they should think her strong for not having been outright imprisoned or killed instead.

"You're not old."

That was the first response that came from Omen as she looked at the cloaked elder with her big, unblinking eyes full of confusion.

The rulers that she knew of were simple. it were lords - such as Lord Discord, as he had sometimes called himself - princesses like Luna, Celestia and Twilight, and queens like what the changelings had. Those were simple titles of royalty one way or another, and she could understand that. Elder however, were a rank that she could only guess were for the ones who were just that: The oldest, and yet, the one who met them were not. From what she could see, she didn't even look that much older than Sen or Lin,

"I don't understand. How is this an elder? I see others who looks older than this one. Larger too."

And then to add to the confusion, it now sounded like Sen knew this one? By reputation or otherwise wasn't certain, but the way he spoke really sounded like this wasn't an unknown to him. And not the other way either, as the young elder smiled in response, which just made Omen look from Sen, to the elder, and back again for a a while, trying to make heads or tails about this.

"Watch out!"

Somepony pushed to Gordan a little after he had entered Ponyville, getting him out of the way a second before a heavy hoofful of bricks landed on the spot where he had just been.

"Dear Celestia, that was close."

The pusher stood and fought for breath after his sprint to get over to the outsider and get him out of the way before the bricks made impact. If Gordan would look up, he could see the bricks came from a pile stashed on a rectangular piece of wood, that were being carried by four pegasi headed towards the north of town.

As for the pony in question, he were a simple earth pony from the looks of things. dark-green eyes, a tied back, black mane and a tail also bound in a business-style. He had a pair of sharp reading glasses that were dangerously close to falling off before he pushed them a little further up his muzzle again, a beautiful suit-jacket and a well matching tie. By all accounts, this one was an entrepreneur of some kind, but perhaps he'd get some leeway from that fact anyway, considering what he had just done.

So, regardless of what might be the reason and meaning of this unknown mare, he would at least make the first contact himself, and hope that perhaps it were not as bad as one might be able to hear from this. Might simply be one who had a bad day - with the attack yesterday and the aftermath of it - and he could handle those fine enough. He had been vented at several times before, and he would be several times in the future as well, he were sure of it. It was just totry and let the other vent, then try to talk reason.

If it were something worse... He'd rather not think about it right now, but there couldn't be allowed another evil near Ponyville right now if it were. The town had just gone over one attack by something of that morality, and the citizens were both figuratively and literally still licking their wounds.

But, they'd start by him meeting whoever this were and then take it from there.

Not by his choice, but he felt like a very small fish in a rather large pond right now, and potentially dragging the ire of one of the larger ones in said lake was going to be worse for him currently.

"Dear Celestia, that was close."

The pusher stood and fought for breath after his sprint to get over to the outsider and get him out of the way before the bricks made impact. If Gordan would look up, he could see the bricks came from a pile stashed on a rectangular piece of wood, that were being carried by four pegasi headed towards the north of town.

As for the pony in question, he were a simple earth pony from the looks of things. dark-green eyes, a tied back, black mane and a tail also bound in a business-style. He had a pair of sharp reading glasses that were dangerously close to falling off before he pushed them a little further up his muzzle again, a beautiful suit-jacket and a well matching tie. By all accounts, this one was an entrepreneur of some kind, but perhaps he'd get some leeway from that fact anyway, considering what he had just done.

I can't be completely certain, of course, as I only got here this morning, but small towns tends to be very close and the place that are available seems like it would be dreadfully contested already.

A local business owner in her profession would likely be much more suited to answer about the others current living arrangements. Ah, and the story you asked for too.

Serenade turns to the mimic perched up on a shelf, "I'll leave a window open and some food for you, unless you want to come with us to Baltimare, my mom would probably stuff you full of food. But I'll leave that up to you." She turns back to Ziggy, "Be warned now, Mom will make you try everything she bakes, if you do you will never escape, there are still Alumni who show up for food." She tosses her forelegs into the air.

Summer Breeze · November 17, 2016

@@Frosty Frost,@@Blitz Boom,

when summer had stepped back and saw the super-flashy-rainbow-disco-fire-manes her eyes got big.

"wait... you..."

she started and narrowed her eyes

"you... HAVE THE MOST AWESOME MANES I'VE EVER SEEN!" she said enthausiasticly. "how do you do that? It looks so coo! can I have that too?"

then summer heard blitz behind her yelling something about a bugpony, she looked back at the pegasus and finaly her brain started to work properly, this wasn't a pegasus, this was a changeling! that was quite a logical solution to the awesome-mane-mystery. she tilted her head and looked at the pegasus-changeling-pony again

"are you a changeling?" she asked. "I've never met a real changeling actually but I hear they aren't really nice, you seem nice though, and you still have nice manes" she smiled, for summer it didn't matter who or what you were, she would always give anypony a chance to become her friend.
