private The Other Ponies

[Octavia's Bow 2,035]

Quickly took the weapon upstairs, finding a bed made out of see-things. Clams, coral, and something soft. He climbed in, pulling the covers around himself and the spear. It made him look very young, almost like a foal if not for the wa his tail twitched and his grip tightened on the spear when he slept.

As soon as Quickly left the room, Clocks started out "So, it's been a long time Reefers, ma-" He was then cut off by Reef.

"Stop, i know you... I know what happens when you get comfy with someone... You back-stab them like they are dogs. So leave"

"You can't just ask me t-"

"I'm not asking, i'm ordering" She replied.

"Well, i'm sorry, just coo-"

"No! Not this time. I won't let you back ever again! Now leave me alone!" She said raising her voice as tears began to well in her eyes.

[Octavia's Bow 2,035]

Quickly stirred slightly and mumbled something with the words, "Mom," and "Fight." He rolled over, clutching the spear tightly against his chest. He was dreaming about the days before the divorce, which led the both to the Eternal Night. He hoped it was the Eternal Night, anyway.

Carrick closed the book, it seem like the only lead for this case. Carrick tapped his chin as he thought of two other places that can still be investigated. Rainbow Dash's house and Rarity's house as well. This might be able to give us some sort of clue. Maybe if there was enough time? Carrick looked at Blaze. "Blaze, wake up Daeva. We need everypony to be at the Everfree Fo- I mean desert. " Carrick looked around to see Quickly wasn't there. Only a sparse amount of ponies had stayed here. The detective knew that waiting wasn't a option.

 

Carrick tipped his hat and pointed at some random pony he didn't know to well, (could be either be Dawnpath/Hypno's OC), "You. I need you to stay here and wait for the other ponies who were recently here to tell them to come to the Everfree Desert."

(Hypno is still there though.)

 

Hypno heard something about the Everfree desert. A small grin crossed his face thinking about his old home. The Everfree desert was where he lived for years, and now he was finally returning. But the main problem is that he had no idea where Snow had gone. And it started to worry him.

[Octavia's Bow 2,035]

Lyth yawned from the couch and noticed Carrick looking at her expectantly, "Huh? Stick around, tell Quickly and whomever's with him to go to the Everfree Desert. Got it," she yawned, rolling over to face the backside of the couch. The sun was still up, it was screwing with her clock.

Sapphire heard what Carrick said. She quickly checked her things, several gems her knife, spear and some rations. Everything seemed to be there.

 

Starbolt turned to Carrick. "What do you plan to find there?" She asked Carrick as she checked on her own gear.

[Samurshy 708]

"Alrighty then, lets do it" Blaze said as he walked away from Carrick. He descended the stairs and walked up to the sleeping mare that he knew all to well. He did not know how to wake her exactly, so he nudged her a couple times before saying "Wake up sleepy head, we have a cave to find"

[Azura 1,107]

"Huh.. What cave?" she said as she rubbed her eyes as she let out a huge yawn. "Are you talking about the cave I lived in before I crashed into Twilight's Treehouse months ago or a different one?" multiple thoughts came in mind about all the caves she's been into.

[NinjaCPU 270]

"Ice Star." Carrick stated bluntly, "Or at least something of that matter. It's a lead of some matter." Carrick poked his chin, "The center is vague and right now we're going on a theory here." Carrick said as he screamed at both Daeva and Blaze, "Time is wasting, we got to go!" The detective shouted.

[Chickey 383]

Clocks put his hands up "Just cool it, we will only be here for a bit and then we'll leave. And you don't ever have to see me again." He said, his voice turning rather sad towards the end of his sentence.

Sea Reef stood there for a few minutes before muttering "Fine," And then walking out of the room.

[Octavia's Bow 2,035]

Quickly rolled over, half awake and confused. He slung the spear over his spear, and walked down the stairs. He wasn't seeing clearly due to the drinking he'd been doing. He squinted at Clocks and Sea Reef, "Momma, Papa, why are you fighting?" his eyes teared up as he got sucked into a memory, "You guys always fight! Why? Why do you fight? You're supposed to be happy together!" He ran back to his room crying. He looked distinctly young.

[Chickey 383]

Clocks sighed as he looked over to Stripes. "I'll take care of this" He said as he walked up towards Quicklys room. He opened the door and approached him. "Hey... are you like... okay?" He asked with a slightly concerned look "Cus' i thinks you just said that i was your dad or something..."

[Octavia's Bow 2,035]

"Clocks, just... Leave me alone, okay? I know you don't care a seashell about my well being unless it benefits you. I'm just a tool; a fighting, disciplined machine. It's all I will ever be." He turned away from the door, hugging the spear and pretending to sleep soundly.

[Chickey 383]

"That's quite an assumption you got there of me and yourself. But okay" He said with a shrug as he turned around and walked out of the room.

 

Stripes sat back in his couch with a shrug. "Well... that was odd." He said to himself quietly. He was unsure if he should check on Reefers or just leave her be.

[Octavia's Bow 2,035]

Quickly sat up in the bed and started crying. It wasn't loud, it was more like shaking with tears. The spear leaned against the wall, next to him. "I miss you, mom. I miss you dad. Why'd you have to go break up? If you'd been sent on that mission together, you'd both be alive! I should know, I had to do it afterwards!"

[Chickey 383]

Clocks stopped halfway out the door. He sighed and turned around, walking back in to the room. "You know, if i was real dumb i'd offa' ya a deal if you wanted to bring dem back from da dead. But I learned da hard way with Aces dat somethings should stay dead." He explained as he sat down. "Would you like to hear a story about my parents?" He asked with a grin.

[Octavia's Bow 2,035]

"I'm not a sucker," he sniffles, "Dead ponies should stay dead. But sure Clocks, we can hear a story about your parents." He sounded hollow and a tad bit sarcastic. He wanted somepony to love him, not another pony to boss him around. He had convinced himself now that the goal was unobtainable.

[Chickey 383]

"Well, me, my father, and my mother worked on the docks, when things we're still building to what you see here today. But there was one problem. My father hated me, and beat me daily." He explained with a pause, and then continued "He was a drinking man, and was quite drunk all the time. One day, when i was about thirteen, my mother finally thought dat enough was enough, and stuck up for me. He didn't like dat, not one bit. And bashed her face in a bit too hard, she bled out internally on the floor sobbing as he stood over her with a grin. While he did dat, I grabbed a switch blade and stabbed him about thirty seven times in the neck repeatedly and gutted him for the things he did to me over the years."

Quickly looked at Clocks like, 'Da fuq?' He stares at him for a while saying nothing. "You realize it only takes one, right?" He asked exercising some morbid humor. He shifted uncomfortably, and thought about what the vampire had said, trying to put a positive spin on it. He couldn't.

[Chickey 383]

Clocks didn't really respond, but instead said. "Now let me continue...." He waited a few seconds before starting off. "After that incident, i lived on the street with no home. Until i started the gang and made my own. Over time I've watched all my friends i hold dear to my heart brutally murdered by other gangs to try to break me." He explained.

 

"I became even more alone and desperate than ever. Until, i found another pony just like me. She lived on the street until i took her in. She shared most of the things i like. She was perfect in every way, except for one thing... She was just like me... A liar, a cheat, obsessed with money. When i declined one of her requests, she left the room. Later i found out she was cheating on me with one of the members of a rival gang, how i found out you might ask? She made me watch as she did it..."

 

Clocks looked into Quickly's eyes with a cold stare as he continued. "I still loved her, since i was pathetic when it came to relationships, and she was pathetic when it came to people she bucked. After she left my protection the gang member stabbed her three times in the chest a few days later, and she bled out in a ally." He said with a pause. "And now, i've become this... this... monster..." He said as tears welled up in his eyes for a few seconds before going away. His normal tone came back. "Now please, quit bein' a wussy"

[Octavia's Bow 2,035]

He thought about telling his own story, which may have been a tad easier, but wasn't happy. "Clocks, I appreciate you coming forward with this information," he said formally. "Unless you want to hear my story, please leave. I have to- to process this information..."

[Chickey 383]

 

"Mkay" Clocks said as he went out towards the door. He was quite interested in his story, but he was getting close to flipping out right there. When he reached the door he stopped, and turned his head back. "And if you are wondering why i didn't say you are my friend... I'm not allowed to have friends... They always die or betray me. It may seem i have power and money, but i have nothing really. No family, no friends, no marefriend, no nuttin'" He said as he walked out.

[Octavia's Bow 2,035]

Quickly watched Clocks leave, and picked up the spear. He followed him with his head down, and put the weapon on the rack, "Clocks, the serpents should be gone, don't you think? And Clocks, I haven't stabbed you in the back yet." He put the spear on the rack and thanked Reefers and Stripes.

[Chickey 383]

"You haven't died yet either..." He said to Quickly as he gave a silly salute to Reefers and Stripes. He knew he would see them again sometime soon. e nodded "They should be gone by now, they can't really swim down deep like we did, so they probably lost interest by now."
