An abandoned castle in the middle of the forest, being used as a hotel. The idea was crazy, but that was exactly what intrigued the young pegasus stallion Shooting Star. He needed a few days off away from the Canterlotian frenzy anyway, and the low price and promising unique experience also helped in making his decisionSome trees were cut down in order to create a pathway from the city outskirts to the entrance of the castle. A few wood planks and handrails were placed and after a roughly five-minute walk through the forest, Star was able to gaze upon the majestic structure of the hotel. The air coming from inside the enormous front door from a thousand years ago sent shivers from his hooves to his wings. Dragging behind him his few luggage, he entered the place, inspecting it up and down.Several corridors and stairways could be seen and enormous chandeliers hanged from the colorful ceiling - still unlit, as the sun had just rose outside. He looked over to the reception counter where an old-looking earth pony stood still. Star smiled warmly and went over to the receptionist to claim his room. Edited November 5, 2012 by DrizzleSTAR

The young pegasus stallion, Zhooves, hops out from a bush along the path - fairly close to the hotel. He had gotten lost in thought as he had been walking on his way there, and got side-tracked about halfway there and had wandered far out into the forest before realizing where he was.

 

Now that he finally had gotten out of there, he entered the hotel with quite the sleepy eyes, and his fairly heavy saddle-bags almost dragged along the ground. Other than being sleepy, he hadn't had any trouble in the forest. He walked up over to the counter to claim his hopefully airy room.

[Marathon 562]

As he pushed passed the fallen trees, Marathon couldnt help but wonder what the hotel would look like. He wasnt fond of the idea of staying away from home a few days but Bluebell had insisted he go and relax for a while. His saddle bags were filled with the things he needed to make fireworks and explosives (if the time should come for them to be needed).

 

He finaly made his way to the edge of the forest and saw the old building. A little uneasy he went throught the doors and went to the counter. Hopefuly the beds are soft.

[HomuraBL 851]

The hotel was getting more and more into view as Webnet was sprinting towards it. He wasn't running because he was late or anything, (kinda), but because he just wanted to run.

 

He had his laptop with him which he was pretty sure might not have worked at an old abandoned castle, but nothing a few electricity spells and other computer supplies couldn't fix. He also brought some running horseshoes to help practice with his running. In fact, he was wearing them right now.

 

I wonder if any colts will be impressed? He blushed at the thought.

 

He finally made it to the hotel and opened the doors. He already saw some ponies there. He decided to go over and say hi.

Alona ran through the forest horribly confused, the hotel had to be around here some where! She stopped in a clearing and pulled the ad poster out of her saddle bag and studied it as she walked she couldn't wait to get to the hotel and start writing her new book and relax.

 

"Path, path, wheres the path?..." she muttered to her self as she walked.

 

When she decided which way she wanted to go she lowered the poster from in front of her face only to see the hotel right in front of her.

 

"well that was easy" she thought as she walked inside.

 

although the building looked old on the outside it was beautiful on the inside.

 

"I'm so excited!" she thought as she walked up to the counter to get her room from the receptionist.

[Iron Wing 237]

"Lower... lower.... a bit lower... yeah, thats it! Down that thing!" a worker pony said. Iron Wing just had placed a stature in a corner. It looked miraculous to the stairs where everypony could see it when using the stairs. "Well done, so we can handle the rest ourself. Just relax a bit. We need you in a hour to lift some beds to the upper floors." the worker said to the blue mare. "Alright, i will come back soon." Iron Wing said, drinking some water to refresh her spirit. She opened the brackets of the lifting-chains she had brought to the castle and stretched a bit. Of course she would do easier if she took off her armor she was always wearing. But she didn´t want to. The more weight she had to lift, the more training she would get.

 

After all she was a guardian pony with an own watchtower. But it was necessary to have a good job too, training her body and spirit, interacting with other ponies and helping them. She walked through the hallway just to find someponies that had arrived for the grand opening. The hotel was already functional of course, but there was alot of work to do for Iron Wing. She had a look at the guests, observing them a bit while leaning against a wall and drinking her water.

[Marathon 562]

As the receptionist handed him his key, Marathon went to his room. He looked by the stairs and saw a pony in armor watching them as they went in. This sent chills down his back and looked at the others to see if they noticed but couldnt tell.

 

"Strange, I hope the rest of the staff isnt like that." He mumbled under his breath. "No since in letting this get to me." He walked up to the pony, wich who of course noticed him walking up to her. "Ummm, hi. Couldnt help but notice you were watching us so I decided to come say hi." He said nervusly, now not sure what to say he waited for her to say something.

[Zhooves 843]

He had received the keys and directions to his room. As he started shaking off some leaves and bark that got stuck on him in the woods, he noticed the other ponies entering the hall. He then decided to slowly walk towards his room... He was too tired to concentrate, meaning talking with others could get awkward.

Hm... Kind of wish'd my brother were here... He thought, as he started walking.

[Iron Wing 237]

Iron Wing just finished drinking her water as she noticed that one of the guests walked to her. It was a black stallion pegasus about her age. She looked at him to check out his details. He had a rarely seen combination of colours. Instead of introducing himself to Iron Wing, he just explained that he wanted to say "hi". It was a bit... unusual, especially for Iron. She was taught in manners so she greeted him with a nod. "Hello there unknown guest. I hope you had a good arrival and that you´ll enjoy your stay. If your room has the number from 1 up to 20, you can reach it within this hallway." she said while pointed her right hoove into a hallway next to them. "If you have a room number from 21 up to 40, you should go upstairs. Your luggage will be taken to your room by a helper pony from the reception." she finished her introduction to this unknown pony.

 

Of course she hadn´t introduced herself as a pony. Standing like a guardian before the black stallion she watched him carefully. It was more like a habit than intention. She noticed something from the stallion. Was he frightened? Iron didn´t know for sure. "Well... uhm... i have some other duties to take care of. If you need help lifting some of the furniture within your room or if you don´t feel save, you may contact me. Just call me Iron." she said while walking away down the hallway through the entrance hall. Her heavy metallic hoove steps were heard within the room like some knightpony was coming through.

[Marathon 562]

After seeing "Iron" wasnt what he thought, he smiled. "Im Marathon, nice to meet you. Sorry if you thought i was acting wierd or anything. Im just a little nervus around new ponies. Well it was nice to meet you." He finished and went down the hall way she had directed him to.

 

Reaching his room, he inserted the key and unlocked the door. As he went in he found a very open room with a bed with room for two possibly and a small desk on the otherside. There was also a table with a lamp on it. He set his stuff down and unpacked. He noticed the walls were very bland and there were hardly anything in the room. He then went and layed on the bed to test it out.

 

"Not as soft as the one at home but it will do." He thought out loud. He got back up and got a book from his saddle bag, layed down in bed and read. Soon after wich he feel asleep with the book lying on his chest.

[HomuraBL 851]

Webnet was sadden by the fact that everypony was busy with their rooms.

 

He sighed and quickly went to the receptionist. He then grabbed the key and headed towards his room.

 

Besides. He needed to add some internet to this place. It would take a little work to do though and he needed time.

 

He was Webnet though. He could do it.

 

He quickly zoomed past everypony and went to his room.

[Marathon 562]

After sleeping for a while, Marathon finaly woke up sitll half asleep. He slowly got off the bed and put the book up. He headed out of his room as he wanted to explore the place. Just as he walked out the door he noticed a pony rushing to his room. He decided to call out, "Hey! Wait, What the rush?" he asked slightly confused at the ponys action. "is he anti-social? Id hope not." he thought to himeself. At the same time he had started thinking about dateing other ponies. There are plenty of mares here at the hotel, perhaps he could try making friends with them and see how it goes from there. "Hopefully i wont make a fool out of my self. I've already messed up with one pony. I wont mess up a friendship with another. I know! I will go talk to...oh gosh whats her name? Ah, Iron. Yeah, I'll go see if I can fix things with her in the morning. Just dont mess up!" he thought to himself as the pony he just called out to noticed him. He couldnt tell if he was hiding an expression he didnt want him to see but Marathon had to talk to him. "Im not going to make it through very easily without some friends though." he thought as a last note before the pony answered him.

[HomuraBL 851]

Webnet just kept running. He thought he heard someone call out to him, but he dismissed it.

 

"Work now, make friends later." He said to himself.

 

It was a slightly short run to his door, however he figured it would've been a long walk here.

 

"Being fast has it's advantages." Webnet said as he chuckled to himself.

 

He then put the key into the door and opened it.

[Zhooves 843]

After dragging his heavy saddle-bags behind him for a good five minutes, he got to the door of his room on the second floor. He unlocked it and went inside as he heard something that sounded like yelling echoing.

"Well, if this is going to happen often, than than Luna I'm a heavy sleeper..." he said to himself, as he entered the room.

 

His room had a large bed - just about big enough for him to stretch out and rest his wings while sleeping -, a table with a lamp on it, a couch, and a couple of windows. He soon noticed how the morning light shone through the windows, so he went over and opened the windows to let the air in, and partially closed the curtains, and switched off the lamp.

"Yeah, this is more homely... More like the way I like it! Just one thing is missing..." he said, before he went over to his bags and pulled out a smaller bag, which he opened, and out came a cloud of decent size.

"NOW it's it's almost perfect!".

He put the now empty bag back into his saddle-bag, took out a lyre, lied down on the cloud and started playing a short

[Marathon 562]

As the pony ran into his room without a word a closed the door, Marathon had stood there a few seconds taking in the ponys action. He didnt like it very much, as a matter of fact it made him a little angry. After a short while Marathon went on his way to explore.

 

As he got out to the area he had seen only an hour before, he thought to himself, "I wonder where I can find Iron. I reall want to talk to her. Maybe the receptionist knows." As he walked up to the old earth pony he asked but he just shook his head. In disapointment he headed off again.

 

This time he made his way to the dinning room. He realized just how hungry he was and decided to take a seat. He waited and a Male Unicorn came out with a menu and handed it to Marathon. "Hello, how are you this morning sir?" the pony asked. He could tell it was recited.

"Im doing fine." Marathon replied. after a short pause the waiter spoke up again.

"Are you ready to order or would you like me to come back?"

Marathon thought for a second, "Ummm, yeah goahead and come back. I need time to think." he said. But food isnt what he wanted to think about. The waiter left. "Man, I sure hope i can ACTUALY make friends. I hope this wont turn out as bad as I thought it was like I did back home. I'll just stall and see if anypony else comes here." His stomach growled, "Well might as well get something while im here." With that last thought he noticed that the room was lit by the natral morning light. This relaxed him as he looked at the menu.

After Alona got her room key and directions she headed up to her room and before she opened the door she noticed a black Pegasus Pony with an orange mane and tail run past and she gave him a nod of hello but he didn't seem to notice or see her she sighed before entering her room

 

"I hope I make some friends while I'm here as well as finish writing my book" she thought as she put her saddle bags down and unpacked.

 

The rooms weren't as nice as the main hall is was a simple plain design there was a queen sized bed and a small desk on the on the far wall next to here was also a table with a lamp on it.

 

"Maybe if I take a walk I can get ideas for my new book" she thought as she left her room to get ideas.

[Marathon 562]

After siting at the table for while the waiter came back and asked if he was ready to order. "Yeah, you know what. Just bring me some orange juice or something. Im not that hungry." After saying that his stomach growled and the waiter looked at him with worry.

"Of course, it will be right out." The waiter then left. Marathon thought about the pony who had nodded to him earlier. He didnt even think to say hi to her. Oh well, just have to do that later.

The waiter came out with a glass of orange jucie and he took a sip and relaxed some more.

[PonyRocker95 106]

Alona took in the pretty sights of the hotel trying to come up with story ideas as she walked. Until she realized how hungry she was and, deciding she couldn't think on an empty stomach, she started to walk to the dining hall and get something to eat.

 

As she walked she started thinking of the other guest she would hopefully meet. When she got to the door to the dining hall she walked in and noticed the same Pegasus from before sitting at the table drinking a glass of orange juice she she decided to go over and say hi and sat down in a chair across from him.

[Marathon 562]

While drink his orange juice, Marathon noticed the pony he saw earlier sit across from and said hi. He put his glass down and looked around to see if there other ponies.

"Umm, hi. Sorry i didnt say hi to you before i was in a bit of a rush. Im Marathon." He smiled warmly hopeing to make a new friend.

[PonyRocker95 106]

Alona looked up from the menu at the Pegasus as he said he was sorry "it's ok I understand" she replied "so how do you like it here so far and how did you find out about this place?" she inquired as she briefly looked down at the menu trying to decide what to order.

[Marathon 562]

"My girlfriend Bluebell insisted i go on vacation. We havent exactly been on even terms lately." He said felling kind sad by telling her. "We're hopeing this will hope simmer things down but im just not sure any more. Shes always out and comes home late. Im thinking about letting her go but not unless i have too, i really dont want to." Now his head was thinking about so many things he couldnt concentrate on a single thing. He feared he and Bluebell might not make it.

[PonyRocker95 106]

"I'm so sorry to hear that," Alona said sympathetically "I hope you guys work things out" she gave him a small smile "I think she's vary lucky to you as her colt friend because at least you get to see eachother my colt friend lives all the way in New Mexicolt so I don't really get to see him vary much".

[Marathon 562]

Marathon had hardly caught what she had said, "Oh... Umm, sorry to hear that." He sighed, "Honestly I dont think things will work out. Everyday shes more distant than the last." He looked at his glass of orange juice for a while. After a long silence he got up and put a few bits on the table and ran out of the dinning hall without another word.

[Iron Wing 237]

Iron Wing was finished with the furniture of the party room. It took ages but now she was finished and happy to get something to eat. "All done, you can get in and put the rest of the decoration where you want it..." she said to another worker pony. He nodded and wished Iron a good meal. She walked down to the dining hall, feeling heavy and hungry. She ordered something steady to eat. After she got a huge amount of food and something to drink, she started eating while looking for the other guests that showed up. She saw the black stallion from before talking to a mare she hadn´t seen until now. The unknown mare was in a discreet brown colour and was wearing glasses. Iron had a closer look at her cutie mark. It was a parchment with a writing quill. Perhaps she was some kind of manager pony or perhaps writing for the Canterlot journal.

 

Iron Wing didn´t know for sure. But she did know something else: faulty work! She left the table and got near wall where a stature was standing. "Uh... they did it again..." she whispered to herself. This stature belonged in the second floor and not down here. Now Iron Wing had to transport it upstairs again. But she had to get the extent of the statur first handed. She pulled out a tape measure and wrote down all dimensions of the stature. She didn´t notice that her armor was sparkling in the candle light. She had it polished this morning.

[PonyRocker95 106]

As Marathon walked away Alona sighed "great job Alona way to blow it" the waiter came and took her order and she ordered the hay fries and a glass of water while she waited she noticed a dark blue mare with a blue mane and tale with cyan streaks in them measuring a statue with a tape measure she guessed she worked at the hotel by the armor she was wearing and ,after she finished eating and paying decided to resume her walk.
