private The Early Days

[Filly Pinkie Pie 208]

Twinkie Pie went into her bedroom and turned off her light. Then she climbed into her bed.

[Miss Light Diamond 2,802]

Goodnight MaryAnne," said Decan as he followed her up the stairs.

[Filly Pinkie Pie 208]

Twinkie Pie started to fall asleep. Her dream was this:

----Morning----

MaryAnne awoke before anypony else and got dressed. She put her long maroon mane up, applied a small amount of powdeer to her lavender coat. She went down stairs and began cooking omelets and toast for the whole inn.

Codax walked through the sunrise-lit streets, looking for the local tavern. He wanted to make sure this job went smoothly, so he planned to stake out the town for a couple days before hitting his mark. He'd already pulled together a fake identity as well. Byron Hick, small time hunter/traveler, who had come to the town in need of lodging and supplies for his next trip. Coming across a building named "The Alicorn," he knocked on the door.

 

"Is anypony there?" He asked. "I'd like to rent a room."

[Artemisia 166]

MaryAnne looked up from the hot cast iron skillet to look at the door. "Come on in and take a seat!"

[Parties like Pinkie 385]

"Thank you, ma'am." Codax said, coming in and sitting at the counter. He took a brief look around, taking in his surroundings, before saying "Whatever you're cooking smells delicious!"

[Artemisia 166]

"Omelets and toast, 2 bits a night, 1 bit for breakfast and I accept tips." She smiled and went back to cooking. "I will set you up in room five second floor. So what brings you to town?"

[Parties like Pinkie 385]

"Well I'm just a lone hunter passing through, needing to sell his wares, buy some supplies, and rest for a bit." Codax said, laying three bits on the counter. "Nothing really much else to it."

[Artemisia 166]

"What are you selling? I could use a nice new fur for winter. Also there is a great general store down in the square where I'm sure you could stock up." She dished him a plate and one for herself and sat next to him to eat. "There is also my friends farm where I am sure you could get some canned vegetables." She smiled and began nibbling on her toast.

The sun poured into the room thru the newly cleaned window. Decan woke up and stretched, He heard voices coming from down the stairs and remembered that he had to be up for work he jumped out of bed but fell over the sheets that were tangled around his legs," uggg", thought decan as he put the sheets back onto his bed, He grabbed his room key and ran down the stairs to the bar.

"I've got plenty of pelts for choosing, I'm sure we could find one to your fancy." Codax said. "But they're at my wagon, out near the edge of the town." Edited July 7, 2012 by Parties like Pinkie

MaryAnne nodded "All righty then." she looked at the stairs "Good morning Decan, there is a plate of breakfast ready for you, take a seat."

[Miss Light Diamond 2,802]

Decan smiled "Thank you MaryAnne, it smells delicious" Decan sat down at the table and began to eat." Oh... MaryAnne if you dont mind, before I start work I left my wagon with some friends at the edge of the forest and I still need to unload all my things into the place next door would you mind if I were to fly over and pick that up ?" Asked Decan half way thru a mouthfull.

"Sure thing, but at noon I am going to need you to help out at the brewery."

[Parties like Pinkie 385]

Codax had finished his meal, and retreated to one of the many chairs that lined the room, eager to observe who exactly already had rooms.

[Miss Light Diamond 2,802]

" I'll be there." Decan stood up and took his dishes to the barrel of soapy water behind the counter, then left the tavern to pick up his things.

[Artemisia 166]

"See ya...and Hey! Aren't you forgetting something mister...uh whats your name....new guy!"

[Parties like Pinkie 385]

"Me?" Codax said, from the chair. "Call me Byron. Byron Hick."

[Artemisia 166]

"Byron. My name is MaryAnne. Here is your key, room 6 second floor. Have a nice stay."

 

(I think we are done for the night...its just the two of us,lets continue in the morning.)

"Thanks, MaryAnne." He said, taking the key.

Nyx woke up from his slumber. He lazily stretched and headed for the bathroom. After taking care of his personal hygiene, he got dressed, and went to the door of his shop, changing the sign to "Open". As much as he needed more business, he felt it was wrong of him to wish for it, seeing as he worked the Apothecary.Nyx simply sighed, and sat down in a chair towards the back, waiting for the bell to ring.

(Post before sleep) Lockhart rolled out of bed, his head in pain. "Crap..." Lockhart groaned. He was having a hang over. He looked at his sword and put it in his stealth. Then he walked downstairs to pay. "How..much?" He asked inbetween the headaches.

"Urgh..." Storm Cloud said as she, one little bit at a time, gained awareness of why she wasn't sleeping in her bed. The headache and overall soreness caused by her crash and later horrible sleeping position caused her mood to be as bad as it had been good the previous night.

 

After some stretching she moved over to the counter where she snatched away one of the breakfast plates that were on the counter, "Hmm... This is great Marianne!". Speaking had been a bad idea and she stopped it and focused on eating her meal.

 

When finished she took her bill, turned it around and with a pen that had been laying behind the counter scribbled "4PM here" as she possibly could considering her headache. The empty plate with the note found it's way along the counter to the white unicorn that had arrived.

 

Dropping the pen behind the counter she hopped of the stool she had been sitting on and humped towards the door, she was sure nothing was badly hurt but the general awkwardness of her body made her clumsy.

 

Sun and fresh air hit her like a wall, Storm considered it was a better to stick to walking rather than flying this time. On her way she could already imagine her welcoming at the farm, she could mentally hear Hay Seed making comments like "Hey Boss! You sure look like you had a great night!" or "You never get the gentle ones!" and probably not a single one of them would believe she had been to a drinking contest and lost by smacking into a wall.

 

Aww...- she thought while a new wave of headache hit her - this ain't gonna be a good day at all!

[Filly Pinkie Pie 208]

Twinkie Pie woke up. "What day is it? Oh, yeah! I have to fix that cloak and then open the shop!" Twinkie Pie got out of her bed, washed her mane, dried her mane, brushed her mane, and then went into her workroom. Stitching, stitching, stitching... she thought to herself as she fixed the cloak.

Faint Ruby happily went to her room after checking on her bookshelf, she silently opened the door and closed it behind her. Her room wasn't much to see for the world, but she liked it and was really happy that MaryAnne let her stay here. In one corner a little bed were with a small table next to it, a huge pile of books towered from the small table showing even more the love Ruby had for books.

 

Ruby cleaned her face a little, to cool her down, by a bench with a small sink for water before laying down in her bed. She picked a book from the top of the pile and started reading. Many hours later, she put the book down, finished reading and decided it was time to get some sleep, in just some hours she would need to wake up and help MaryAnne with the morning duties.

A small ray of sunlight hit Ruby's face through the small window in the wall, slowly waking her up. Some minutes later, she realized she had overslept and hurried to make herself ready, then went out from the room to see if any help from her was needed. Noticing that the breakfast already was finished, and some other customers had arrived she stopped in her tracks and looked for MaryAnne. When she found her, she approached her and said "S-sorry that I overslept, do you need help with anything?"
