After last night's unsettling dream, Damien got up early to get some fresh air. After a short walk he grew hungry and decided to stop by Sugercube Corner for a quick bite to eat. He walked through the door and was greeted by the smell of freshly baked goods.

[Missklang 1,053]

Missklang was lazily laying under the tree. It's been already few hours she was like that so she was starting to get bored and annoyed. Things around Poniville was too quiet for her liking. Finally, with a great effort, she managed to stand up and started to roam the streets. She finally stumbled on the Sugarcube corner. After seeing such amount of ponies inside of it, gathered around the tables for a morning meal, she couldn't resist doing something with such opportunity. It would indeed be a great test field for her new arrangement of prank bombs. She went inside and sat on an unoccupied table. She then proceeded to open her saddlebag that mysteriously appeared from nowhere and levitated an arrangement of small colorful pebbles. After a close inspection, she finally chose the one colored in rainbow stripes. 

 

That one would do just perfectly.

 

Those little pebbles were her homemade magic-infused "prank bombs" as she referred to them as. Made of an extract of poison jokes, carefully tested to produce desired effect, the one she was currently holding contained a highly compressed stupidly large amount of colorful dust that, upon impact would pop up, covering everything with bright colors. She threw the pebble in the middle of the room. There was no explosion sound. Only a loud pop as if someone opened a champaign bottle. In a blink of the eye, the interior of the Sugarcube Corner started to look like a piece of some psychedelic pop art painting. Missklang, as she hid under the table, escaped the colorizing effect, and now was watching around with a happy smile on her face.

Before the bomb and after a long night of map working, Cresent found morning on the horizon. "Already that time?" he thought out loud. Noticeing how close he was to sugger cube corner once out of the woods he decided a bite before sleep would be nice. Soon he found himself on the door steps of a sweet smell going through the Windows. Opening the door he simply nodded at the bar mare who have him a curious look " still awake Cresent?" the mare asked. The bat pony shruhed off a yawn. " lost track of time again, the usual plese" The tired bat pony said as he put his bits on the counter and made his way to his usual spot. The bar mare shook her head and went to work "noctunes, always surpise you" she said with a chuckle....(Npc Any pony could use her)

Chrystella woke up the the sound of the birds. "Other day" she murmured as she shuffled down the steps of her house and down into the Paws ‘n Claws veterinary clinic. Chrystella wasn't surprised to see four animals staring hungrily at their empty food bowls. "Okay, Okay!" Chrystella giggled as she filled up their food bowls. She grabbed some medicine labeled 'Bongo’ and went to the greyhound. Bongo was hungrily chewing on his food not to notice the pills and before he saw them Chrystella had already feed them to him. Bongo swallowed the pills in disgust as Chrystella said “Come on boy, you know they will make you feel better, than you can go home to your owner.” Chrystella is the founder of Paws ‘n Claws veterinary clinic in Ponyville, and she currently has four patients. Bongo, a tortoiseshell she-cat named Cocoa, a bright green parrot named Lime, and guinea pig named Zoom. All the animals are sick and can’t return to their home until they feel better, but they all enjoyed Chrystella’s company.

Chrystella looked at the medicine shelf to see she was low on certain supplies. “Low on gauze and painkillers…” she whispered.  So she headed out with a couple bits and told the pets “I’ll be back as soon as I can”. And off she went to the marketplace to get the supplies she needed.

After Color Bomb exploded, Damien was now hot pink. "Ugh, I'm pink! I'm freaking hot pink! Who did this?! And why? I hate pink." He exclaimed, slightly aggravated and annoyed. He then looked over to his left and saw a unicorn underneath a table laughing her head off. Then Damien thought about what had just happened and started laughing himself. After a moment he stopped and said, "That was a pretty good prank, I like your style. What's your name?"

[Missklang 1,053]

Missklang looked at the approaching pony. And chuckled at the sight of his pink colors.

 

Hi! I'm Missklang. Thanks. I made those myself. And what's yours?

 

Missklang looked at the wings and horns. Her pupils contracted into almost perfect vertical line.

 

Ow. I thought I got rid of the side effects... Don't worry, all of the effects caused by my bombs are instantly removed by water. Here let me help.

 

Grabbing out of nowhere a bucket of water, she poured it on Damien, proceeding to cover him with a towel and rubbing intensely. After finishing, the color was completely gone. Missklang looked at the wings.

 

Huh... So you are an alicorn then? Cool!

After being drenched and dried, Damien then said, "Yeah, I'm an Alicorn. It gets me quite a bit of unwanted attention, but for the most part it's pretty cool. And my name is Damien, Damien Bolt. It's nice to meet you. And was that Chaos Magic you just used? I've heard that it's pretty hard to master, how did you learn it?"

He blinked his eyes trying to work out if he fell asleep, then as he lifted his hoof to drink his apple juice he noticed his coat being a cream white. "not bad" seeing a unicorn go from under a table dousing an....alicorn?

 

Cresent shook his tiered head and the batpony looked again. It was an alicorn, he wasn't sure if he should be bowing or not, and his curiosity was waking him up. He shrugged and made his ay over towards the too, "so I take a swig of my apple juice and suddenly I'm white. Or am I asleep still?" he asked the two pony's.

Missklang nodded, looking at Damien.

 

It's my natural magic. Used it since the day I h..was born. And I had decencies of practice. So I have pretty much total control of it. Heh, suspicious Twilight even once thought that I was disguised Discord... Sou you are an Alicorn heh? How does this work? Should I call you princess Damien?

 

Missklang puffed at her joke. A white-colored bat pony approached.

 

 

 

"so I take a swig of my apple juice and suddenly I'm white. Or am I asleep still?"

 

Yes, pretty much. It could be all a dream. But ni, it's just me. Just shake and stuff and the versatile paint should go off easily.

Chrystella was very busy, she had to carry all her supplies back to the Paws 'N Claws and other stuff that was on her mind.  She was passing by Sugarcube corner when she saw a flash off a bat. "How could a bat be that big" she wondered. She wanted to get a closer look but her list of duties told her not to. Just then her stomach growled and she couldn't resist any longer. She stormed into Sugarcube corner and said"One poppyseed muffin please" she handed over the remaining amount of bits to Mr. Cake. She scanned the remaining empty seats to find only one left. She headed towards the seat until she realized she would be sitting next to the bat pony. "This would be perfect for research on bats! Ok stay calm..." Chrystella breathed deep breaths as she approached the group of ponies. "Is it ok if I have this seat?" She continued to stare at the bat pony as she spoke.

Damien looked over at Crystella for a moment and then said, "Sure, why not? And as I can see there isn't anywhere else to sit." He then questioned "So what's your name? I'm Damien Bolt, Prince of Bravery. And this is Missklang, and the bat pony has yet to introduce himself." He then proceeded to take a bite of his double chocolate muffin.

@, @,@@cwhip9

Missklang clapped her hooves two times. A small slightly visible magic wave ran through the Sugarcube corner, negating the resting effects of the color bomb.

 

Damien Bolt... Prince of bravery...

 

She slowly pronounced the name as if tasting how it sounded.

 

Hmmm. I have a strange feeling I heard this one before... But it must be a long time ago. Anyway, heh, I appreciate your reaction to the bomb. Not everypony has a good sense of humor these days. Luckily for me, I'm extremely resisting to physical damage. Well, you must have seen things before. Otherwise, ponies don't like to approach me too often. They worry about my pretty eyes. Well, not bat ponies at least. They have similar eyes... Well, it's like that when you are a dragon pony... But again, I'm lucky with my appearance, not much of a dragon, no scales, no permanent large wings, no extra horns. Just my beautiful eyes and my teeth.

 

She chuckled. A unicorn approached.  Missklang looked at the way she stared at the bat pony and smiled.

 

Heh, reminds me how Fluttershy stared at me the first time she saw me. Well, after she descended from the ceiling of course. With such scary eyes that glow in the dark, maybe coming at her door in the middle of the night wasn't the best idea. Well, I had at the moment nowhere to stay, and I didn't want to be in the center of the large city. I think Fluttershy is ok with me and not that timid because she still thinks deep inside of me like an interesting creature more than a pony. Well, much true indeed. She said I reminded her of one of her friends...

Damien was slightly intrigued by Missklang's response.

 

"If you've heard my name before, you'd have to be over 1,000 years old at this point. Because I was there when King Sombra took over the Crystal Empire, heck, I lead the rebellion that was trying to put a stop to his tyranny. But I bet you're wondering how I'm still alive and young, the answer to that is the fact that I lost. When Sombra defeated me, he encased my friends and I inside crystal and hid us away in his secret trophy room and there we were trapped for over a thousand years. Until recently when the janitor at the Crystal Castle found that trophy room and got Princess Cadence to set us free. But unfortunately during the war, Sombra... He..." Damien couldn't bring himself to finish and sat there in silence with sadness in his eyes.

She saw the sadness in his eyes so she tried to make him take his mind off the depressing topic. "My name is Chrystella". She gave him a warm smile and turned toward Missklang "Nice to meet you Missklang". She turned back at the bat pony, "And you are?" She waited for a response as she bitted into her muffin. "And by the way, do you mind if I take a sketch? The last time I saw a bat pony I didn't get any research..."

[cwhip9 1,078]

(on mobil)Cresent laughed at misklangs tale picture fluttershy that way he couldn't blame her. Seeing the odd look from the unicorn he noded at her " I don't bite don't worry, names Cresent" as Damien told his story the paused Cresent patted his back with his tired wing. "Sounds like a hey of a story, Damien was it? You don't need to say more it's fine" he then remembered the bits and pices of the word "dragon" being said. Looking at misklang the bat pony asked "heck of a prank, where did you say you got the coler bomb at?"

After a moment of thought he said, "About a moment ago, it's just something about the war that I'd rather not talk about right now. So, what do you guys do for a living? I've been trying to find a job that speaks to me if you know what I mean, but haven't really found anything yet."

'this could be interesting' he thought. Then turned towards the rest of the group, misklangs was running with energy and Damins seemed to have slowed down with his story.

Missklang smiled.

 

You won't believe how old I am. I was born just a few years before the era of chaos brought by Discord... So I grew up in it. It explains a bit my magic affinities with chaos arcane... You stop attaching yourself to others after a while.... I heard the Crystal empire was back. I would need to go back there one day. I have books I need to return. I let you guess on their overdue timing...

 

@,

 

Yay! You draw sketches. Cool!

 

@@cwhip9,

 

The bombs? I crafted them myself. With some poison joke extract. I was able to extract the chaos magic from them and lock it on a single non-random effect. Did you know that it was Discord that created poison jokes? Heh, back in the days there was huge fields of them literally everywhere... Good times...

@,

Well.

 

Missklang said, looking at Damien.

 

I don't really work. I don't need to. I usually can summon the stuff I need through chaos magic, much like Discord. And there is plenty of poison jokes in the forest. And other stuff too. It's easy to find everything you need between those marvelous trees. I do occasionally sell some manually make artifacts or treasures I find, but only when I'm bored.

[Chrystella 15]

Chrystella's eyes lit up in excitement as she began to sketch Crescent. As she carefully and accurately traced his features, she answed and replied to her new friends questions.

"I do in fact have a job, as the owner of Paws 'N Claws Vet clinic, were alsways open for hire so if you interested come and swing by!"

 

@@Missklang,

 

"Do you currently have poison Joke? This may be hard to believe, but I actually use it for medicine"

[Missklang 1,053]

Of course I do...

 

Missklang put her saddlebag on the table, opened it and tossed a big pile of poison jokes on the table.

 

It's my primary food source. I eat them... It's far more strange than using it for medicine.

 

Her eyes glowed red as she levitated one petal, swiftly inserting it into the flower sandwich of a random pony. She looked with a happy glare as the pony grew a mustache almost instantly.

 

It's also good for pranks. A small dose like that gives only hour lasting effect so don't worry. If you are going to refine it, please let me know if you have that blue juice that produces from it. It doesn't have any healing properties and as it holds the actual chaos magic, most pharmacies just throw it away...

"I gotta go, a patient said their bird got the blu flu, its serious because I have never had a blu flu patient" She finished the last mouthful of her poppyseed muffin and showed Crescent the finished sketch "Like it? I hope I drew you accurate." She packed up her supplies from earlier and headed off. But before she left she looked back and said "Oh, and I hope ya'll stop by sometime, it would be nice company to the pets, and me" with one last smiled she headed back to the Paws 'n Claws vet clinic. Little did she know that she was in for a big surprise...

@, Cresent was surprised at the drawing how detailed it was.

 

"good job, not many ponys draw that much detail on our wings" Cresent commented.  Seeing the unicorn leave he raised a wing to wave good by then turned his attention back to the group at the table, namely the alicorn with his job question an idea springing up in his head.

"sorry, asleep by now. Any ways im will to pay you if you draw up a section of the woods I haven't been in" Cresent said  

 

"In terms of other job just ask around town find what you like and go from there" the bat pony land back in his chair.

Missklang puffed and started laughing.

 

Bake it? No way. Only if the essence is removed. Otherwise, kaboom and the poison get highly volatile and spread faster than Rainbowdash's dash. I know... I tested...on her.... I use the heat reaction in some of the older models of my bombs as well as more devastating ones. Like for example, I am fully able  to build one that would, upon explosion, cover the entire Poniville in Poison Joke toxic gas in less in a second. And it would fit into a soccer ball.

 

She grabbed one of the few remaining poison jokes and ate it.

 

I eat them mostly raw. Occasionally putting it in salads or sandwiches or, very rarely, use the magically neutral mass I gather upon poison extraction for eventually some baking.

 

She looked at Cresent.

 

You have to be careful when mapping the forest. Some of the most magically filled parts can actually move place or change the layout. There are very few of such places, but if not careful, you can get stuck. There is actually one particular area. It has an old castle in it. Not the old royal castle, another one. Well, this castle appears only once a century for a day. And then disappears again. I would know. I got stuck there once... It's horrible. No sun, no moon. Total darkness. No rain, the sky has no stars and is pitch black. If not magic, I wouldn't see a thing. And the silence. Probably the worst part. Animals avoid this place. Not even a rat, not a spider. You are isolated in all ways possible. Imagine. No sounds, no wind. Just you. And if you go in the woods, it's not only dark but creepy as hell. You got the constant feeling at being observed and start to have panic cutting your oxygen. But the worst part is no matter which direction you go, you will end up at the castle doors all the time. Luckily it had a library, otherwise, I would become even more insane. About  500 books in total. I read them all... Apparently, that place was held by some count. Dracul was his name I guess. I forgot. Something in that style. Things I found in the cellar area... Ugh. Evident why the place was filled with bad magic and become cursed... At the 95th year, it was the worst part. I woke up from a sound! A sound of footsteps that dissapeared as I woke up. I never knew if it was a dream or hallusination. It felt too real. You start hallucinating sound some times, but that time, it felt real. And then I found a hoofprint in the mud outside the castle. I was afraid. In all of the years being stuck there, I, for the first time thought that I wasn't there alone... And I just practically barrikaded myself the remaining years until one day I heard normal sounds and seen the sun. So I went away. And you can't teleport away either. Well, if you got any maps, you should give them to me, I would mark the locations of some disappearing areas that I am aware of or that I am suspecting to be one. Don't want ponies to get stuck and die from lack of everything, don't we?

 

She lifted her back hoof and scratched behind her ear in a dog fashion.

 

Did you know that it's mostly because of Discord that the evergreen forest is like that? After all, he took over the castle of the Alicorns to live there. Back in the days, there was a point when almost all Equestria was covered in such forest... Good days... Oh, and also I built a temporary house in the forest. You see Zecora's hut? On the midway between the hut and Fluttershy's cottage you turn right, facing the cottage. Just in case. It's easy to see. It's a tree house and... has no grass growing around it in a ten-metre radius. Just poison jokes. It's basically a tree in the middle of a poison joke field. Closed field. With trees... I'm bad at explaining environment...
