[Nightfall 3,950]

Before he could reply, saying he didn't want to confuse her and that had just slipped out before he could stop it, Maven kissed him passionately. He couldn't say he wasn't expecting this to happen at some point, and he couldn't say he didn't like it without lying. But his eyes opened wide for a moment, and as he blushed, he kissed her back.

[Octavia's Bow 2,035]

She dropped his kiss and touched her mouth. She was blushing furiously, believing she had done something she. Wasn't supposed to. But she liked it. She'd liked it a lot. She began to back away, and then turned around and ran, turning into an alley and climbing onto a rooftop.

[Literally Snails 2,307]

"And that would be my cue to leave." Jack said in a hustled tone as he backed out through the door.

 

The Green uniocorn seemed satisfied with his new ability, and walked away in a casual manner. He had a pleasant smile on his face as he walked. "Very interesting." he repeated again.

[Octavia's Bow 2,035]

Sapphire walked out after Jack. She was beginning to miss having wings; she felt bare without them. Plus, that whole muscle group was gone, disappeared without a trace. Her horn felt natural, right, even, but her wings had always been there. Ever since she'd found out she was a unicorn... At least she could bake brownies whenever she felt like it.

Magneus yawned and took his sweet time to transform into a wolf, he loved to stretch as a wolf, much more satisfying that stretching out as a pony, same goes for sleeping, can't curl up like you can a wolf. He laid down on the couch and smiled, "If i didn't know any better, i'd say you wanted to be known as a wolf" his roommate walked into the room and raised a brow, "Yeah, yeah, whatever. I become a wolf when i want to become a wolf, actually, if ponies knew i was a wolf, they would be scared of me, just what i want!" He gave a big wolfish grin (pun intended) and dozed off to sleep, his roommate on the other hand just got something to eat and watched some TV.

[Nightfall 3,950]

Nightfall tried to keep up, but found he couldn't. She was just too fast. He sighed, not knowing where to go. Should he find Sapphire..? Wait, no, he had the clue! He trotted quickly in the direction of the concert hall. Maybe Maven would be there... He only hoped.

[Octavia's Bow 2,035]

(No, she won't be there. But the director of the symphony can tell you exactly where Delphina lives)

 

Maven followed the rooftops until she got to her apartment. Messy as usual, with papers strewn across the floor, across the furniture, some of them flying through the air; she'd forgotten to turn of the fan. She sighed, entering through her own window and putting her costume away. She put her cello in the corner and put 100 bits into an envelope, quickly running downstairs and giving it to the doorman, then going back to her apartment. She fell asleep on a futon.

[Nightfall 3,950]

Nightfall got to the concert hall, but it seemed a bit empty. He thought it may have been crowded like when he showed up to see Maven. This made him think she wasn't there, but just as he was going to go back to Sapphire, he saw the director of the symphony. He trotted up to him.

"Ah, sir, yes, may I ask where- er, Delphina lives?"

[Octavia's Bow 2,035]

"Hmm? And you a-" he saw his uniform,"re a police captain," he says nervously. "Yes, I can tell you where she lives." He magically grabbed a record book and looked at it. Writing it down on a slip of paper, he hands it to him. "If she's not in trouble, could you tell her we'd like her back? The way she plays is amazing."

[Nightfall 3,950]

Nightfall looks down at the slip of paper, reading the address.

"All right. I'll tell her. Thank you."

He trotted out towards the address, looking at it every few seconds just to make sure it wouldn't disappear, and to make sure he would remember it easily. Finally, a bit later, he reached the door and knocked hoping she may be inside and not off fighting crime.

[Octavia's Bow 2,035]

Delphina woke up to knocking at her door and groaned. If this was another 'adoring fan' that thought their admiration was the same as love, she was going to take up residence in an old, broken down building. At least she'd be able to sleep. She went and answered the door, and when she saw who it was, totally freaked out. Her face went from tired, to loving, to scared in a few split seconds and she slammed the door in his face. Frantic sounds of papers shuffling were heard, and then a frustrated groan, followed by a song, during which a flurry of papers could be heard being sorted and shuffled and stacked. Then she slid the chain lock in and cracked the door open, "Hi."

[Nightfall 3,950]

He was at first confused by the door being slammed in his face, not to mention startled, but he heard the papers and song, and realized she must be cleaning her apartment. Then she opened the door again.

"Hey, Delphina. I thought you might be at the concert hall... But the director of the symphony did say he wanted you back... Um... Yeah, so..."

He nervously shuffled his feet a bit. He didn't want to bluntly ask if he could come in.

 

((OOC: college class soon. I'll be back later. If she invites him in, make him go in.))

[Cherry Blossom 864]

Cherry Blossom awoke and opened her eyes to see the ceiling of her bedroom. It was strange, she would usually have a nightmare or wouldm't remember any dreams, but she had a comfortable sleep today. She noticed that she had her right foreleg around a warm object, so she turned around... "AHah!" Cherry Blossom shrieked as she fell off of the bed, but a thought went through her mind, "Wait a minute, was that Den?"

 

She got back on her hooves and saw her fellow cop sleeping happily as ever, but her face blushed into a color of a fresh tomato.

[Octavia's Bow 2,035]

She nodded, "Understandable. He's a good colt, but the orchestra is to weak-willed for me to play with them. Imagine if we had to play a march; the damages would be enormously costly. And the fans all somehow know exactly where to find me..." She sighed and looked at him, "But the orchestra isn't why your here, is it Captain"

 

Den was curled tightly into a ball. In his dream, he was carrying Cherry Blossom up an endless flight of stairs to save somepony. Then he heard a scream and jumped out of the bed. Wait, out of the bed? He was confused for a moment, and then he remembered. His face burned with embarrassment,"I-I-I can explain!" He stuttered*

[Cherry Blossom 864]

"W-What were you doing in my bed?!" Cherry Blossom asked as a look of confusion went over her face. The last thing that she could recall was being at the restaurant. "Why was he in my bed?! And why was he here in the first place?! Was he here all night?! But that could mean..." Numerous questions reced through her mind as she just stared at Den in the awkward silence.

[InfinityWhale 771]

Wits woke up, slowly at first, then a bit quicker. What a crazy time... and he had just gotten here. There was a LOT to do around here, and it was becoming clear he was going to have to do it himself. Nightfall would be helpful, but he had his hoofs full. He needed to begin to recruit, more and better people. He would also send an urgent request to Celestia for funding and support. The situation was nasty, and something needed to be done.

 

First, though, what on the moon was going on?

 

((Seriously, guys, whats going on?))

[Octavia's Bow 2,035]

"Well," he began, "We were walking out of the restaurant wen you fell asleep on me. So I carried you to your place. You have a nice I'd picture, by the way. Then I set you on your bed, and I was gunna leave, honest. But you're bed, it looked so soft, so I layed there, and then I kinda... Just... Fell asleep. That probably sounds really weird; you must think everypony has bed and stuff, but at my house, we sleep on piles of cloth. That way if somepony gets sick the 'beds, are easy to replace... Cheap too. I'm going to leave now..." He started inching towards the door, thinking about how stupid he was.

[Cherry Blossom 864]

"Wait a minute.Did you say you have to sleep on piles of cloth?" Cherry Blossom asked as she felt very sorry for Den. She felt upset that he would have to sleep in terrible conditions while working to help his brother. Her heart sunk as if a battleship was hit by a missile.

[Octavia's Bow 2,035]

"N-n-no... Maybe. I may have said that." Now he turned redder. "I'm gunna go. Home, maybe. I don't know. I think... Try and find Nightfall? Maybe Sapphire. I'ma shut up now." He walked quickly towards the door and awy from his recent embarrassment. Stupid stupid stupid! Keep your mouth shut next time, just leave!

[Cherry Blossom 864]

Cherry Blossom flew over and tried to stop him from leaving. "It's not good to sleep uncomfortably on rags, especially when you're taking care of your brother at the same time. You may pass up the offer, but I think it would be best if you and your brother came here to live with me. It would be for the best."

[Octavia's Bow 2,035]

He had almost made it to freedom when Cherry Blossom landed in front of him and gave him her offer. He blushed, "Oh, it's nothing. They're not rags, more like... Ummm, cloth! And they don't take to long to clean, even though the water isn't-" he shuts up immediately and looks for ways around Cherry Blossom.

 

(Nightfall is with Maven at her apartment. Sapphire and Jack just left the asylum. Den is with Cherry Blossom.)

[Cherry Blossom 864]

 

"You said cloths and not beds, but it's not even at least a couch. Listen to me Den, I think it will be much better for you both to just live here with me. I'm also not sure how you can make do with just a job working for the police." Cherry Blossom was eager to let him and his brother stay, but maybe it was just to avoid loneliness, or better yet, avoid Sour Blossom.

[Octavia's Bow 2,035]

"... Fine," he concedes, sighing. "Let me call Neil, he should be at the hospital." He walks over to a phone and dials a number, "Yes, I'm looking for a Neil Falosh. I'm his brother. Yes, the cop!" He sighs, "Very funny. Get your stuff; we're moving. No I don't want the bloody rags! You should've burnt them! Yes, I'd say grabbing our remaining funds is a good idea. Uptight? You're lucky this is a phone call! NO SHE'S NOT MY MAREFRIEND!" He slammed the receiver into it it's home and put a hoof to his forehead.

[Cherry Blossom 864]

Cherry Blossom gave Den a weird look while he was using the phone, but she got it out of her head in a few seconds later. "Well I'll go make breakfast, but is there something you would specifically want?" She asked as she flew to her kitchen and looked through the fridge.

[Octavia's Bow 2,035]

He shook his head no, then thought about it a little more, "A coffee would be nice." He sat on a couch and stared at the wall, thinking, I should be getting my first paycheck from the police at somepoint today, which means I should be able to pay Cherry rent. Somepony started knocking at the door and Den frowned. He answered the door and a white blur hit him, hard. They rolled on the floor and Sapphire giggled at him, "Hi Den!" She levitated a few suitcases through the doorway; the sum of their belongings, plus a large sac. Den looked at it skeptically, "What is that?" He asked Sapphire. "Our PAYCHECKS silly!" She exclaimed. Den shook his head and opened the sack, "I don't understand, we're not even supposed to have half this much! Sapphire, did you check the books?" She nodded, "You know how everypony quit the police force really quick after we joined? Well, that freed up a lot of the budget, so we got a pay-raise!" Den blinked a few times; the fact that he now had money was taking a while. He'd never seen this much money outside of a bank before. He looked from Sapphire, to the sack, and back, and then passed out. Sapphire giggled and walked over to Cherry Blossom, "How was your date?" She asked grinning.
