open Uprising

[Victoria and Co. 782]

"Why do ponies have such strange names?" The Egotist sighed. "Nevermind that, please, do you have any idea where I can find 'Clocks' at?"

[Chickey 383]

"He is a street rat, but my guess is he will be at a bar first. He likes card games and liquor. There is one up in Cloudsdale, my guess is he is there." he said "Also, don't try to force it out of him, he is a idiot, but he always has guards. And alone he can easily hold his own"

[Victoria and Co. 782]

"Drunk fool who likes to gamble and fight?" the Egotist laughed. "Dangerous, but nothing to be afraid of. Thanks, Fire, I'll be on my way then."

 

The Egotist turned to leave but stopped.

 

"If Sam wakes up tell her not to worry okay? Thanks again."

 

The Egotist jumped into the air and his metal wings unfurled.

[Chickey 383]

"Thinking like that of him is going to get you hurt" he said watching Ego leave "Don't try to piss him off though..."

[Victoria and Co. 782]

"I don't doubt that," the Egotist called back. "But I've been hurt plenty of times before."

 

The Egotist flew towards Cloudsdale as fast as he could. The soon he got this done, the better.

The Egotist came to a screeching halt. After a moment of indecision, he found the building he judged most likely to be a bar and went inside.

[Chickey 383]

Inside, Clocks was playing cards with a exceptionally large irritated looking blue Stallion. He noticed Ego but didn't seem to pay any attention to him what-so-ever.

The Egotist looked to his side. Two ponies were playing some cards.

 

"Well hello there," he said doffing his hat. "Mind if I join in? I just got into town and have some money burning a hole in my pocket."

 

(Computer is being really slow so sorry if it takes a while.)

[Chickey 383]

It'sa bit of ah private game, Aces here was jus losin" he said with a shitty grin, putting down his hand to reveal 3 kings. While when the Blue stallion did so he only had a pair of sevens. The blue Pegasus Stallion looked to Clocks' hand then back to his, a pained nervous look upon his face as he did so.

 

The large blue Pegasus named Aces, was clearly a foot taller than Clocks, and seemingly much more hefty and tougher than him. He appeared to be the same age as Clocks too. He was a rather Dark blue with orange brown hair that was scruffy and at medium length, about a inch below his ears.. He wore a purple coat and a white dress shirt under it with a black tie.

"Huh," Egotist chuckled. "Assuming from the look on your face, you're pretty far are you in the hole."

[Chickey 383]

"I-I-I Ah-ah Ya-you-you" Aces only said looking down, knowing he had lost. "Shit" His voice sounded a bit older than Clocks, and more scruffy.

 

"Well, i had ta dig his ass up from the grave and revive him" Clocks said "In death he got a taste-a freedom from workin fer me, Instead of returnin he said dat he would bet his freedom in a game-a cards..... pretty stupid idea Acey. Should-a remembered the first time ya bet your servitude to me with a game"

"Woah," the Egotist shook his head. "Well then, why don't we play a bit? You win, I hand over my money and you get 'Acey'. I win, you let him go. Sound good?"

[Chickey 383]

"That sounds like-a mighty generous offer, but I'm a afraid i know when i've won" Clocks said with a grin "And Aces over here can win his own battles, capiche. Even if this one he lost quite obviously." He explained "Now, i have-a feelin you came to get somethin from me?"

[Victoria and Co. 782]

"Sorry there 'Acey' I tried, but to business," The Egotist straightened up. "I've heard that you can supply me with some... things that I need. I'm not from around here, but what I'm looking for is technology that would get me arrested, tortured, and possibly killed where I come from."

[Chickey 383]

"Den ya sounds like-a guy i like" Clocks said "What are ya gonna need, and what can you possibly repay me wit?" He asked.

 

Aces didn't say anything, but looked at the table they were sitting at in crushing defeat. He did think of Clocks as a friend, but he hated to have to always be with him after tasting what freedom from working with him felt like.

 

(Gonna have to go to bed, s'laters)

[Prince Midnight 817]

midnight prowled around ponyville, "hmm, i know its bad, but mabey.....does cloud really want this?"

he turned and moved towards clouds home, "it wouldnt hurt to ask."

he sighed and walked up to the door and knocked.

 

the door opened and she smiled hugging him tightly "Midnight..i was beginning to get a little worried."

midnight smiled, "hey.....cloud, i know what i said earlier, but.....are you willing to do it?"

she blinked then smiled and nodded, "yes midnight, but like i said, its your decision, i want you to be comfortable with it."

midnight looked down at the ground then leaned up and nuzzled her neck softly, "thank you, and....i am."

Rain started to pace impatiently, waiting for Shadow to wake up. She looked longingly towards the door, but she couldn't just leave him alone...

[Chickey 383]

Shadow grumbled from the couch as he slowly woke up. "Wh-what happened" he asked hazily

[Victoria and Co. 782]

The Egotist rubbed his chin.

 

"Well, I'm what you might call "skilled", and not just in one field either. Tell you what, if you can supply me with what I need, I'll pay you and provide services of mine that pertain to the nature of the objects I require."

[Chickey 383]

Clocks looked to Aces, then back to Ego. "Yeah, sure" he said with a grin "Jus tall me what ya needs den"

[Victoria and Co. 782]

The Egotist pulled out a list.

 

"So primitive, paper, I don't understand how anyone can stand it," he handed the paper to Clocks. "There you are, I need the supplies as soon as possible."

[Chickey 383]

Clocks skimmed over the list, then folded it up and stuck it into his shirt pocket "Dat's some odd stuff ya want, no matta, but it might take me ah few days to gets it all." he explained.

 

Just then a dark Pegasus, with combed back very dark brown hair, almost grey color, bright blue eyes, a black covering his lower parts of his eyes walked into the Bar. He had a hour glass cutie mark. It was quite obvious the Clocks paid attention to him.

The Egotist continued to look at Clocks.

 

"Thank you," he nodded. "I need those as soon as possible, I can only go so long before I need to kick someones ass. Or should I say flank?"

 

Still without turning around, Egotist continued.

 

"Who's your friend?"

[Chickey 383]

"Dat guy over there?" He asked pointing to the pony who just entered. "Oh i wouldn't call him dat" he said nodding to Aces as they both got up and started over to the pony, grabbing a baseball bat under the table as he did so.

 

When the pony glanced to see them, it immediately knew what was coming. Aces smashed the pony over the head with his large hoof, knocking the pony to the ground. When it got back up, Clocks didn't miss a beat to whack the bat over the pony's jaw, knocking him out. "Badaboom, b!tch" He said as he walked back to the table.

"Huh," the Egotist said. "Classy."

[Chickey 383]

"Ain't i?" Clocks laughed sarcastically. "Dat mook and i go back quite a bit, in fact, he was the one who told my old friend Shadow where i was" he explained "My guess is he didn't think i'd be comin back, he an arse anyways." Edited June 6, 2012 by Shadow Cloud
