open Bangcolt Arena! (Fighting/Sol) (RP)

[Little Red 1,529]

@,

 

Bjorg got kicked in the face. Oh! That's why Bjorg was considering her next move! Bjorg thought, the pain striking her muzzle. She wouldn't be surprised if the pegasus had broken something.

 

She unclenched her talons and struck out with them, about to slash her leg with the sharp claws.

[J.R. 3,183]

@,

Kevin spoke a bit quicker than before, "Sure I do. You seem pretty nice, and I don't have a date. Would you like to go?" he repeated. He was somewhat in a rush due to the fact that he wanted to mainly go, and get inside just to see if his suspicions were correct, or was he just paranoid?

[MozillaToast 233]

Aknor smiled warmly as they made their way to the resteraunt only to find the doors closed. "What in the bucking hay?" He looked to the door and tried opening it, "Uh, Trixie, you sure this place is open tonight?" He looked about, seeing other ponies turn up and wait with their companions. "I'm not accustomed to this kind've place, do we meed tickets or something?" He asked, worried that this would mess up the evening.

After waiting around for a moment they were let into the theatre which had been beautifully set up. Quite a lot of effort had gone into this place. As they went in a waiter approached and quickly adressed them, "For two." He saod to almost himself and ushered them both over to a table towards the back of the room. The waiter hurridly gives the a menu each and runs off to address new arrivals. "Huh... Quite busy today. So Trixie, what do you want to get?" He asked with a soft smile.

@No-One In Particular

 

The train ride to Bangcolt was long and boring but it gave the bounty hunter time to contemplate. His hunt had led to this city, famed for attracting the violent and bloodthirsty, it would make sense he would find the stallion he was looking for here. He looked down at the open case and finished putting back together his revolvers after having just cleaned them. He closed the case and watched out the window as the train pulled into the station. He grabbed his case and slung it over his shoulder before exiting the train and taking his first steps into Bangcolt. He adjusted his hat to get the sun out of his eyes and gave a small smile.

...Calibur joins the fight.

EWS has outfitted himself and his team, with their standard issue, magically powered wrist-coms. This way, he and his weather team can report to EWS without having to fly everywhere, "Alright...Wrist-Coms ready......wrist com uplink enabled. EWS here, over..?"

 

A few pegasi responded, "I'm here." "Yup." Got it." "Over."

 

"Alright. If anypony has problems, then report to me and I'll come to help. Got it? Over.."

 

"Yes, sir!"

 

EWS stood his position atop the glass roof of V&O's Hall, on overwatch for the weather.

@@Star Saber,

 

Pinkie Pie pulled out a wooden pipe from behind her back and blew into it; out came dozens of bubbles, "Bits? You say?" She inquired as she placed a top hat on her head and positioned a monocule on her left eye. "Where are these, what do you call? Bits." she acted before breaking out into laughter. She snorted and giggled before shaking everything off except the pipe, she liked the pipe.

 

"Well," she paused to blow more bubbles, "Where are theses bits, I don't see them anywhere around or are they hidden away?" She got up close to Ash and eyeballed him, with her eye popping out of her eyesocket and drawing it back in several times. "Are they across the country, in the magnificent city of Canterlot, hidden in plain sight? No, only fools wouldn't be able to find those riches. They would be somewhere further away. Perhaps in the heart of Mount Canterhorn. Behind a waterfall enterance near the top of the treacherous mountain and inside of a mind boggling cave system and after avodiing booby traps, solving puzzles and evading the elements. At the end of the cave system or your great vast riches..." She got up close to Ash almost on top of him. She was serious, or it would seem so. But, things are never as they seem with Pinkie, "Or it's stored away in a bank back home." She shouted in a more joyous silly tone before breaking out into childish laughter

 

(Well was she right XD)

 

@,

 

Fluttershy turned a light red color, it had been a long while since anyone besides her close friends asked her to do anything. She was generally more secluded to herself and her animals but she didn't have anything better to do and Kevin seemed nice when she spoke to him earlier. He was relativley reserved just like herself, which didn't make it easy since she'd have to hold more of the conversation which would take a little time before Fluttershy got use to Kevin. "Sure, Kevin, I'll go, where should we meet? I just need a bit to change. Is that alright?"

 

@Everyone who's attending the party

 

(Gonna apologize as these scene were supposed to be better planned like I did Shining Armor and Cadence but that didn't happen because of life stuff. I apologize for these mediocre posts, Enjoy!)

 

Octavia finshed the preperations for the food and with some of the reservation mix ups. Vinyl finished coordinating with staff and running fixing up some technical equipment and tuning instruments. Night Tracer did simple things like set up tables with staff, clean up and fill the remaining spots for performers.

 

Octavia approched Night Tracer from behind while he was looking out over the restaurant from on stage, as they had just opened. She put her hoof on his shoulder, "Thanks, I don't know how we would of done it without you."

 

Night Tracer looked to his left and smiled at Tavey "Of course you wouldn't have, I'm awesome, you should bow down to me before you do Celestia." He joked. Vinyl walked up to him and slugged him on the back of his left leg. Night Tracer turned back to her, "Ow."

 

Octavia chuckled, "I was just trying to be kind. If you wanted honesty then I could always call you a bad gift without a gift reciept," She teased.

 

"Hey, I think, I've done alright." He defended.

 

Vinyl nodded her head in opposition, clearly visible to the other two.

 

"Gee,Y'all are terrible. I don't even know why I do anything for you." Night Tracer jokingly opposed his actions from earlier.

 

Vinyl slugged him again and Octavia pulled him close, "Fine, we "appreciate" you." She made air quotes. "What do you want an award?"

 

"Sounds sweet, make it out in my name. Have it read "Best Pianist Ever."

 

They each rolled there eyes at him. Then a thought popped into Vinyl's mind; she jumped in front of the two of them and traced a heart with her hooves and pointed at him them out to the tables.

 

"Oh, you have a date?" Octavia exclaimed, "Who's the lucky mare? When can we meet her?"

 

"You'll know when you see her," he smirked. "She suits your style Tavey, her job sort of requires it. " he chuckled.

[J.R. 3,183]

@,

Kevin nodded and said to Fluttershy, "Sure. I'll wait for ya. Meet me at the doors. The Hall is just down the road, and it'll have a ton of ponies overflowing from it. You can't miss it. I'll be waiting...." he then started to walk off, back to the venue for the party to keep watch.

"Heh, sorry, I got so excited, I forgot to ask," Rainbow Dash replied as she rubbed an embarrassed hoof on the back of her head. She mentally kicked herself for having done so as she slowly floated up to meet Lightning Strike.

 

"While we're at it, I should probably ask who you are, too," she added, doing lazy backstrokes around Lightning Strike and her cloud as she talked to her. "I don't think i've ever seen you around here, and I can't say i've seen you in Ponyville either."

@Orion Caelum

Anette couldn't help herself; she chuckled openly when Wilhelm pulled his head out of the water. It was much better than the dolls' reactions; Nightmare cackled openly, Heartthrob flew over and tried in vain to re-style his mane, and Glory all but facehooved. Hero stood silently, all business as usual.

 

"You look ridiculous," she admitted, but her eyes were soft, not condescending. She shook her head, walked up to him, and non-nonchalantly kissed him on the forehead before she stepped back.

 

"Take it slow. The party starts in a half-hour, and neither of us are ready. No one will mind if we show up a little late, so let's try and look our best, alright?"

 

She stopped for her moment as she talked to her dolls, and they all silently gathered around her again, Heartthrob somewhat reluctantly.

 

"I also have to take these four home; they don't do so well at parties. I'll meet you at the entrance to the hall, okay?"

 

-------

 

Trixie looked at the menu, and almost immediately spotted what she wanted.

 

"I think i'm going to have the salad," she replied as she placed the menu down. "I'll pay for myself, though. No offense, it's just how I am. I hope you understand."

 

She paused for a moment, before asking the question that had been on her mind since she first saw him.

 

"Hey, where exactly did you come from? I mean in the topological sense. You don't look like you came from Canterlot, or Manehatten, or any of the big cities..."

 

-------

 

Sunny Daze had finished making the alterations to the newest article, set to go out in the morning. The article now read:

 

 

 

"Ice Blizzard ate forty cakes? That's as Many as Four Tens, and That's Terrible. Insider Information Follows this Contestants Terrible Sweet Tooth!"

 

 

Sunny Daze looked at the article, before she broke out into gales of squeaky laughter. She only stopped when she happened to look up at the clock and realize that it was only 30 minutes until the event began. With little time to lose, she ran the article through the copy machine, before white magic began to wash over her...

 

A mere 15 minutes later, a pegasus mare with a light pink mane and tail and a cutie mark of two smiling suns suns walked into Octavia and Vinyl's Hall. She checked in, tilted her glasses, and gave her name to the bouncer, talking in a thick Stalliongrad accent. After a moment, she was let in, and she began to mingle with the crowd.

 

-------

 

Sleight Mist stopped, and turned around slowly to face Caliber. She had a half-cocked grin on her face.

 

"I promise you Caliber, you're not going to regret this. Unless there's something else you'd rather be doing?" she said, moving back closer to him.

 

--------

 

"Thank you," she replied prettily as she walked with him into Vinyl and Octavia's Hall. She looked around. The place was gorgeous. And it looked like there was so much here to do...

 

She turned her head toward Ice Blizzard, and smiled lightly.

 

"Well, what would you like to do first? I'll let you choose." she said, waiting on him patiently.

 

-------

 

Luna put the book securely back on the bedside, before stopping to think over exactly what she just read.

 

She had assumed that Night Tracer would have a dark past just by interacting with him, but she never realized how dark. To experience all of that, at such an early age, was more than anypony should ever have to go through, and Luna felt a touch sorrow well up in her heart at the thought.

 

With the sorrow, however, also came guilt, moving in waves through her consciousness. She had read through his personal history instead of waiting for him to open up to her about it, and violated his trust. She had let him down, and she felt miserable about it, both as his lover and as a princess of equestria.

 

Darkness began to pour out around her legs as she sunk into the world of shadows, her face a grim mask as she began to concentrate heavily on what she should do next.

 

--------

-snip-

Rain Shadow floated through the hall in elegantly styled dress as she searched for someone to talk to. If she wanted to achieve her future goal of changeling ambassador, she would need to make connections, and this would be the prefect place to do it. 

 

It also wouldn't help to have some fun, she thought as she continued to move. She looked around, searching for somepony who was alone...

 

and bumped into somepony who happened to be right in front of her.

 

"Ow, okay," she muttered, falling back a little before re-gaining her height in the air. She looked ahead of her to see a yellow mare with the oddest dress and the oddest machine she had ever seen. She tried her best to sound eloquent as she regarded them.

 

"Hey." she said nonchalantly, smiling at the pair.

[J.R. 3,183]

@,

Ice walked in along with Rarity. The place looked amazing. He had never been to such an amazing venue, and with the mare of his dreams, only made it 1000 times more amazing for him.

 

He was in awe and almost didn't hear Rarity speak. But when it came to her, he'd be hung up on every word she would say to him, "Let's see...uh....I say we get something to eat first. I'm kinda hungry. And I suppose after that we could...dance..?"

 

They walked over to a table with two seats, and a menu, utensils, napkins, and drinking glasses placed at each seat. Ice pulled out a chair for Rarity to sit in, "Here ya go, Rarity. We can sit here. I wonder what they have on the menu tonight?"

"I don't live here so that's probably why you never see me" she said, laughing a little, "I might consider moving here though because i could make more friends, the only company I have at my house is my falcon" she flew off of the cloud. "Wanna see something cool?" She asked RD. She closed her eyes and started concentrating really hard, soon, a black cloud formed above her head, lightning was flashing inside of it, she was grinning from ear to ear. (:

[MozillaToast 233]

Aknor nodded and chose the same order as Trixie and put the menu down. "Where do I come from? Well I'm from eastern Saddle Arabia, I'm not from a coty nor have I had any experiance in living in a city besides this one. I was born somewhere outside the large wasteland that occupies the middle of the area. My family live as a caravan group and I did what they did for a while until events occured and I left and wandered." He stopped and took a breif moment to think of his family, where they might be right now and what they're doing in the moment. "Anyway, I've rambled on for quite a bit so how about we talk about you, where did you come from. You look like the Canterlot type; regal, powerful, elegant and sophisticated. You also look beautiful in that dress and your mane like that and your eyes are stunning..." He stopped abrupty and started quite vividly blushing. "S-sorry, that all just kinda came out at once there." He looked her in the eyes and smiled, still blushing, but not as brightly as when he made the outburst. He thought to himself, 'Damnit Aknor, you had to go and overdo it. You've probably embaressed her and now she probably feels uncomfortable.' He awaited her responce from his words, hoping that maybe she liked being flattered excessively, otherwise he'd just ruined it before it had even gotten halfway.

@Little Red 

 

Violet

 

she smirked. apparently, she was gonna win. her martial arts were just in a different league.

 

when she kicked, and the griffon tried to slash at her legs, and simply jumped straight up, letting her wings take her a little high, doing a quick front-flip, and brought down her other hind leg down on the griffon's neck. 

 

unless she was fast, or more durable then normal, then...

 

violet grinned.

 

victory was certain.

 

                                                                                                                                     

 

Ruby

 

"oh! the partys starting!! c'mon, red!" ruby exclaimed, as she dashed in the direction that apparently everyone else were going. "we must not be late, for we are the guests of honor!!"

 

they arrived at the entrance soon, and got in without no problem thanks to ruby's quick hooves. "we're in!!" she squealed, then said the same thing in a deeper voice.

 

                                                                                                                                                

 

Caliber

 

"weeeelll...i can think of one thing that id rather be doing..." he said, with a sly smirk. "but im not sure im allowed to say something like that in front of such a classy mare."

 

he laughed, and looked in the direction of the ball. "so...shall we?" he asked.

 

                                                                                                                                                

 

Rune.

 

​a non-existent clock chimed in rune's head, and he grinned. "alright, time to go to the ball! or party...im not sure..."

 

he laughed on the way there, and when he did get there, he simply said 'night sent for me' and was accepted. 

 

he walked around inside, now unsure what to do.

[Vae Victis 742]

Tyra gasped with slight horror as Lorec bit down on the axe handle, just narrowly missing her face. Now she could see the bloody distorted face of the minotaur up close, and it was unpleasant.

 

However, that was good that she was up close.

 

Using the force of the swing, she swung up and landed a heavy punch across his face. Hopefully it was enough to make him drop her axe.

 

She also hoped none of his drool or blood got on it.

Lorec, sent reeling backward from the punch, let go of the axe, and nearly toppled over from his loss of balance. As he was reeling, he planted his sword in the ground quickly to stop the motion, eventually forcing himself to stop. Breathing heavy, he snarled again, and spoke in an ominously bloodthirsty tone...

 

" it's still not enough.... I need more..."

 

It was then that Lorec would initiate a sequence no one would expect; quickly sheathing his sword on his back, he would lean forward, and plant both hands on the ground, in what seemed to be the stance of a quadriped. Afterwards, instead of charging at Tyra, he quickly spun around in the opposite direction, and with a mighty push off from the ground, hopped out of the impact crater made from earlier, and had begun running in the direction of the fort! With a head start and on all fours, Lorec would more than easily put a great distance between he and Tyra in a short amount of time.

 

As he did so, Lorec heard a voice in his head. The voice of his companion soul, mighty, baritone, and loud. It was the Ursa King, Viruden.

 

' Lorec.... It is time to ascend..."

[NAGA]

 

Having followed a large crowd in order to find his way to the party, Naga was unfortunately turned away due to looking like an ' obscene weirdo ' as the bouncer had put it. Talk about culturally challenged. Hanging his head downward in defeat and walking away, he slipped his hoof into his garb, and pulled out a piece of papyrus, and unfolded it. He read it again, scanning over the text.

Tyra quickly grabbed her axe in midair, and landed on all fours in the crater with Lorec. She watched as he got on all fours himself, then leapt out of the crater.

She raised an eyebrow. Was he running away? It wouldn't be like him to surrender, not in such an important fight.

 

No, he was planning something.

 

She turned and faced the nearest crater side, and lowered down to push herself up it. Climbing the last few inches, She raced around the side and dashed after Lorec, toward the fort.

 

What could possibly be there that he'd want...?

Eventually stopping about two hundred feet before reaching the fort, he had managed to put quite a large amount of space between him and Tyra. He turned around to face Tyra, and got back up into bipedal position. Instead of taking an offensive posture, he simply stomped his left hoof into the ground ferociously. Aura triggering violently around him again, cracks in the earth appeared to travel behind him, and spread out in a horizontal line once they had traveled 5 feet from him, in the shape of a T. Once this had started, the cracks began to rapidly travel faster in opposite directions, and ended at about 50 ft away from the starting point of the earth shift in either direction. It was then.... That this large, wide line of earth began to cave in on itself, producing a violent earthquake, and opening what seemed to be a deep, fathomless crevice, right behind where Lorec was standing with arms crossed! So deep it was, that it was pitch black, and Lorec stood there, on the edge of this newly formed pit to the underground, his hooves on the edge. He was waiting for her to get there... What was he planning?

"Don't get me started about falcons!" Rainbow dash said a little bit more loudly than she should have. Her miniature rant was stopped, however, when Lightning Strike did something that should have been, by all rights, impossible. Rainbow Dash stopped backstroking and looked up in astonishment. 

 

"Wait, wha-? How did you do that?" she asked, confused. Pegasi were supposed to able to alter weather, but Lightning Strike had just created her own out of nothing. And it was amazing.

 

--------

 

"We should," she replied with a grin of her own. She tilted her head to the side, and it faded a little.

 

"But not like this. They have a dress code, and they won't let us in like this. Meet me by the front in 30 minutes, Caliber." she said, walking off.

 

"I'll be waiting."

 

-------

 

Rarity was impressed; in 20 seconds, Ice Blizzard had already done better than that horrid beast Blueblood. They were off to a wonderful start.

 

"Thank you, Ice Blizzard it's so nice to see a gentlepony nowadays." She sat down in her chair, pulling it up, before reaching for a menu. She leafed through it, before arriving at a suitable selection.

 

"I think... i'll have the apple steaks," she said finally as she placed the menu down. "What will you have?"

The powerful tremors in the earth caused Tyra to trip up slightly in her sprint, but she just about kept her balance. She looked ahead as Lorec stood, rather nonchalantly, waiting for her. As he did, the ground caved in from behind him, cracking and crumbling. She couldn't see exactly what was happening from where she was.

 

Upon getting closer, however, she discovered that it was a crevice, with nothing but black as far as she could see.

What was he planning to do with that?

 

Upon getting a good ten meters away from Lorec, she skidded to a halt. And waited.

"What are you planning with this large hole?" She called to him.

caliber grinned. "roger that!" he said, going off to leave. 

 

and once sleight was out of sight, he began to panic. he had no money, and he certainly couldn't get to ponyville and back in thirty minutes.

 

and its been a while since he stole something...he doubted that he could pull off a thievery like how he used to. skills dull, and such.

 

and he certainly didnt wanna get the suit via pulling a robbery. AKA pulling a 'crazed lunatic with a sword demanding stuff'

 

...what to do, what to do...

 

he started running. maybe he had some bits in his apartment?

 

hey. who's that? he looked familia-

 

naga. holy crap, its naga!

 

"yooooooooooooooo, buddy!" he said, bounding up to him. "haven't seen ya in like, months, bro!!"

@,

Blizzard lightly blushed as he sat down, and looked over his menu. He flipped through the pages, and finally said, "Aha. The spaghetti. Too perfect. Now we just gotta wait for...waiter!"

 

A waiter came to their table and asked what they wanted. Blizzard stated, "Spaghetti for me, and apple steaks for the lady." The waiter nodded, and left to give their orders to the chef.

 

Ice turned to Rarity, and tried to make light talk, "So...Rarity..uh...you look absolutely amazing tonight. I mean, I've always wondered: 'What are the secrets to looking so amazing?' until I read your magazines. I mean, I've read a TON of magazines with your articles, and I kinda enjoy what I've read about how to stay looking pretty."

 

He blushed a little bit more, "I mean, I know it sounds weird for a stallion to read magazine articles about beauty and whatnot. But I don't really care, because my mom always taught me to have an open mind...and I like what I've read. I mean, even I took some of the fashion tips I've read in there to keep my hair looking good."

 

Ice felt embarrassed having said so much at once and sheepisly said, "Uh..sorry if I said a lot at once Rarity...uh, you want some wine?"

Upon getting closer, however, she discovered that it was a crevice, with nothing but black as far as she could see.

What was he planning to do with that?

 

Upon getting a good ten meters away from Lorec, she skidded to a halt. And waited.

"What are you planning with this large hole?" She called to him.

Lorec, arms crossed and now profusely bleeding from the mouth as both his internals were being strained and from Tyra's blows. Chuckling to himself, he spoke.

 

" I'm not so sure, myself. All I know is, is that Viruden has spoken to me. He says that it is time for me to ' ascend '... You see, I've never taken the power of the Ursa King beyond the second stage, which is the soul infusion that you have seen putting great strain on my body in exchange for greater rending of earth, and a massive increase in strength. Of course, against you, it is not enough..."

 

He said, grinning. He looked over his shoulder, and towards the newly formed crevice.

 

" This pit, Tyra... It is a representation of my hunger. And that hunger is nearly insatiable. My hunger for fighting, and my thirst for raw power... I'm not afraid to admit that those are apart of me anymore. I've spent so much time fighting myself, trying to say ' no, I'm better than this.' But alas, I am not..."

 

He then turned his head back to Tyra, and spoke.

 

" I have... No inkling as to what happens next, Tyra. The only thing I know to do now... Is completely immerse myself in my greed."

 

It was then that the primordial soul slowly ejected itself from his chest. Lorec, reaching for it, grabbed on to it as only he could, and held it in front of him, looking down at it, mesmerizied in thought. Then, looking back at Tyra, he... Took a small step backward... Toward the crevice. What was he doing... Was he planning to throw himself off of the ledge?!?

[KAZAS]

 

Kazas sat there, watching on as his companion was about to seemingly toss himself into the abyss. His heart was throbbing, not knowing what Lorec was about to do.

 

Sifana, sitting next to Syuren, was crying profusely, whimpering and shaking.

 

" Papa!!!!! Why are you doing this...? Don't leave me here alone...!"

 

Sifana, rising from her seat, attempted to run down the steps and toward the arena, but Syuren stopped her before she could, barely holding her.

 

" ayyyy, easy, Sifana! C'mon, ya can't just waltz on down there! Lorec's in the middle of a fight!"

 

Struggling to try and get to her father, she tried to pull away from Syuren.

 

" But he's about to... He's about to die! Brother Ren, he's in pain!"

 

Syuren, instinctively, pulled Sifana in close... And wrapped a hoof around her, hugging her.

 

" Siffy, look. Now I'm ya older sworn bro, right? I know ya dad. And he's the toughest sonova' bitch I've ever seen. He's been in way worse scraps than this. I promise ya. He'll be 'aight, okay? Medical bill is gonna suck, but he ain't gonna leave ya here alone. He loves you way too much to pull that crap. If he falls into that hole, then he's got plans for it!"

 

Sifana, comforted by Syuren's words, began to calm down a tad.

 

 

It was then that Alrahm felt something... Strange from the battle. As if a change were about to occur, drastic and great.

 

caliber grinned. "roger that!" he said, going off to leave.

 

and once sleight was out of sight, he began to panic. he had no money, and he certainly couldn't get to ponyville and back in thirty minutes.

 

and its been a while since he stole something...he doubted that he could pull off a thievery like how he used to. skills dull, and such.

 

and he certainly didnt wanna get the suit via pulling a robbery. AKA pulling a 'crazed lunatic with a sword demanding stuff'

 

...what to do, what to do...

 

he started running. maybe he had some bits in his apartment?

 

hey. who's that? he looked familia-

 

naga. holy crap, its naga!

 

"yooooooooooooooo, buddy!" he said, bounding up to him. "haven't seen ya in like, months, bro!!"

Almost blindsided by this pony, it didn't take long for him to recognize Caliber, and he smiled widely.

 

" Oi! And there be the first thing to cross off the ol' list! How've you been, my friend? It's good ta finally see the keeper of this ol' monk's secret well an' in a good bit of health!"

 

He said, ignoring personal space and hugging Caliber.

 

" I missed the living Naraka outta you! Bein' back in the land of the livin' is truly a great experience! So, whaddya been doing fer the past few months? Fightin' as well as the monkey king, me hopes!"

[P-Jay 1,987]

@, 

 

caliber wondered what this list of naga's was, but apparently, he as at the top.

 

"ah, you know it!" he said, hugging back. "but one things for sure, the monkey king aint got nothing on me! hell, iv actually gotten stronger since we've last fought."

 

he grinned, "but...i cant stay and catch up, sadly. im on...a date!" his eyes sparkled. "and i dont have any money for a suit...you wouldn't happen to be able to spare some bits, would ya? i could pay ya back in the morning, with interest. i just need about twenty, and i should be good."

 

the last bit of his money he had right now was going towards the suit. although he was counting on paying for dinner, it quickly changed. he had about 80 bits, which was about enough for the average dinner (average, at least, to him) and needed a bit more.

" spare a few bits?"

 

Naga said, in a small laugh and pulling away from Caliber.

 

" Cal, ya really went n' forgot who yer pal really is?"

 

He said, winking. He reached into the fold of his Eiquetan garments, and pulled out an ornate, red coin bag from about where his breastbone would be. He lightly tugged at the string with his teeth, and the bag was opened.

 

" Best thing about Havin' friends in really, really, realllllyyyyy high places is that ya always know they can help you out with yer problems! And the icing on the hotdog is, because I'm a monk, others tend to think I'm a sorta drifter without a bit to his name, an' I don't get mugged, heh!"

 

Holding the bag open from his mouth, he reached in, and pulled out several, solid gold bits. Worth a pretty penny. Just one was probably enough to buy 10 dinners with royalty alone. He counted seven in all, and tucked away the coin purse back into the fold of his grabs, keeping the seven that he had taken out in his other hoof. He extended it to Caliber, offering it as a token of friendship.

 

" Heh! Mi'lord always sends me off with more than I can spend! Hope this is enough. When yer done, tell me what a ' date ' is! Here's some coinage to get ya through yer... Well.. I dunno, month? Months? Year? Ahhhh, it just depends on how ya spend it!"

 

In addition to not knowing what a date was, he had also spoken of icing. On a hotdog. If one had clearly not noticed that Naga was from out of town, they would have, now.

@Corona de Adamas

 

Night Tracer surveyed the crowd looking for his date, he anxiously waited for Celestia but he also wouldn't mind Luna walking through the doors. That'd make him pretty happy to see Luna coming; with her dressed up. He'd be one enthusiastic stallion to enjoy dinner with his mare, especially after their first date went.

 

He continued to scan the crowd for Celestia, until a peculiar mare caught his eye. He rolled his eyes at her then walked down to her and pulled her away from mingling with other party guests and into private. He frowned at her, "I want to know why." He said blandly, "I want to know, why you came like this, why aren't you, well, you?" He inquired while tapping his hoof to the ground

[J.R. 3,183]

Electron Wave Storm was still at his overwatch position, until a sudden sight caught his eye. A cloud, randomly zigzaging low to the ground. He knew something was wrong, and spoke over his wrist-com, "I got a rogue cloud here. Somepony talk to me, over."

 

A pegasus responded, "Sorry EWS, everypony else is done for the night. You'll have to handle it on your own."

 

EWS was startled, "What?! So, you mean I gotta handle this on my own?!"

 

"Well, you haven't been working that hard recently, and HQ said we could all get off early, and that you had to pick it up, or they'll cut your pay in half. Goodnight."

 

EWS sighed. He knew he had to do better, and handle this. All of his recent pranks have been goof-off tim that he needed to make up for, or else his ass would get yelled at by the superiors, "Looks like I'm on my own. Fine, then...."

 

@everyone at the party

He flew down, and tried to contain the cloud, but it was out of control. EWS grabbed it, but it wouldn't stop, and eventually came through the doors of the Hall.

 

The cloud came to a stop inside around everypony, and EWS was flying there, and said, "Don't mind me, just bucking around with a cloud...." 

 

He pushed the cloud back outside, and threw it into a wall, "Damn cloud..." he then flew back into the air, for a one-pony weather overwatch.

"Night Tracer, you know very well why I look like this." Celestia sighed, and her Stalliongrad accent evaporated mid-sentence. Her glasses magically vanished and disappeared into thin air as well. All that was left was the plain, pretty pegasus, and she regarded him sadly.

 

"As Sunny Days, ponies want to get to know me. They want to know me, Night Tracer; they don't care about crowns, or titles, or the fact that i'm an alicorn. They can have fun, talk to me, act normally. They can be themselves."

 

She turned her head and spared a glance back towards the crowd, before she turned back to Night Tracer. Her voice dropped to a whisper.

 

"What do I get out there, as Princess Celestia? Everypony crowding me simply because of my title? Forced bows and smiles? Ponies faking polite conversation with me because they're afraid i'll stick them in a dungeon somewhere if they so much as disagree with me? Is that what you want for me? Is that what you think makes me happy?"

 

She shook her head, as if she had already made up her mind.

 

"No. My ponies need Princess Celestia, and they'll have her until I pass from this world into the next. But they don't need her now. Not tonight."
