Star happily followed behind Hop with a slight skip in her step...she felt the urge to jump into the air and yell "YIPPEE" But she thought that would be a little inappropriate...so she just smiled but as the train came to a stop she slipped and fell right onto her flank.

Hop hovered above the ground as other ponies walked off the train. Once there was enough room she laned next to Star. "Hey, you ok?" She asked helping Star up to her hooves. "Ponies are so rude aren't they. Oh well, i guess were just going to have to enjoy the trip without them huh?"

"Y-Yea...i'm ok. And I guess they're all in a rush or something. We should get outside...I think Moonbeam and Keeper are waiting for us."  She said, taking Hop's hoof and standing up. "Thank's." She said, smiling and nuzzling Hop's nose, then moving towards the door to the train and climbing down the stairs. When she reached the bottom she held out her hoof to help Hop.

Fiera's balance was kept well enough to keep her from moving very much. If she didn't, her face would probably be covered in lamp shards. "Oh my. Are you okay Dusk?" she asked and started to help gather the shards of the lamp. "Isn't there supposed to be an announcement  Like. 'Oh no, were pulling into the station everypony. Grab something that won't break'? Yeesh"

@,

 

He chuckled at what she said and shook his head "I'm just clumsy sometimes, but i'm okay thank you, i'm sure nopony else has this problem" he swept a few more shards and cut his hoof on some glass "Ouch!" he shook his hoof as a little blood ran out of the cut. "Oh wow...fantastic start to the day. I had a good feeling about this one too." 

[The Original 571]

Fiera looked at the cut. "Its not that bad. But i suggest cleaning it just in case. Don't want that 1% chance screwing you over with an infection right?" she said, being careful to try and not cut herself as well. "And why did you have a good feeling about it? Any... particular reason?" she said and giggled.

[Descant 1,898]

Silent quickly got up, and then looked down and shuffled her hooves. 'Urgh. The one thing I've hated most about being silent is not being able to say "sorry." It makes me look lile a really rude pony!' She dropped her head a bit and flattened her ears in a guilty look, trying her best to look sorry. She quickly, well, "changed the subject" by dropping the look and pointing outside with her hoof, having a more-or-less curious look on her face. She was trying to ask, "Going out into Buffalo?"

Encore was simply gazing out, attempting to gleam a view of the city over the heads of the crowds of ponies in the station when, out of the corner of his eye, he saw the mare he had tripped over looking sad, almost guilty. Hoping he was interpreting her correctly, he murmured, "No, no, it was my fault. Wasn't looking where I was going. My apologies." When the mare dropped the peculiar guilty look, and started making a strange series of gestures with her hoof with a look of curiosity, Encore could only stare at her blankly for a few moments. Was she making fun of him?

[Agent505 661]

@,

 

"No no, im alright" he insisted as he piled up the last of the glass "This stuff gets everywhere doesn't it? We should probably find an attendant or something..." he suggested and looked hopefully at Fiera, hoping she would volunteer so he didn't have to talk to any other ponies he didn't need to. He suddenly flared bright red and looked away "no no...no reason."

[The Original 571]

@,

 

Fiera frowned. "Whaaaat? You can't just have a good feeling for no reason. But okay..." she said and looked around. "It seems everypony is getting off the train... we could just leave and let an attendant or somepony find this and finish cleaning it" she suggested.  

[Agent505 661]

@, 

 

He gave a quick nod and a hopeful look once more, before he quick-stepped in the direction of the nearest door. "I uh, um, well...looks like we're getting breakfast in Buffalo I guess" he chuckled as he made his way down the hall, looking back at Fiera.

 

As he wasn't looking where he was going, he smacked straight into one of the attendants, almost knocking him over. "Oh my, i'm uh...im so sorry" he stammered as he backed away keeping his head low.

She looked on as the colt tried to figure out what she was trying to say. She sighed, though it looked like as a mime would, as no sound came out. She quickly made slashing motions with her hoof over her throat, trying to show that she had no voice. 'Don't make me break out the notepad...because that gets annoying real fast for me....' she thought, thinking about having to scribble everything out quickly.

[The Original 571]

@,

 

Fiera facehoofed and walked past Dusk to talk to the attendant. "I accidentally broke a lamp a little ways back and we didn't have anything to clean it up with. Sorry..." she took the blame and hung her head low in fake shame. The attendant sighed and walked past the two, heading to see where it was broken. 

[Agent505 661]

@,

 

While he couldn't help but feel shocked, he knew better than to question when someone else took the blame for something.

He quickly bounded past the pair of ponies and out the door, breathing in the fresh air and looking back at Fiera with a blank look on his face.

"Thanks...I uh...I have no idea what's wrong with me this morning. Maybe we should give breakfast a miss? I'll probably end up wearing it, or worse."

Actius had a coffee to wake him up a little after getting up so early, then trotted out of the train. There were quite a few other ponies heading out as well, and he wondered if he should talk to them. I might as well make some friends on this trip, he thought. It wouldn't be very fun to do everything by myself. As he was about to say hi to some of them, he noticed that the mare he had seen earlier was still speaking with that unicorn who had bumped into her. But the strange thing was, she wasn't speaking, she was motioning. Wow, she must be really shy. Actius walked up to them and tried to help the poor pony out.

 

"Hey," he said, trying to start a conversation, "sorry to interrupt, but do either of you know if there's supposed to be a tour guide or something?"

Encore blinked at the mare intently. She... Couldn't talk? Oops.

 

"Ohh. I'm sorry. I didn't realize. I didn't..." He mumbled, trailing away, as a bright red stallion trotted over. "Oh. I dunno. I was under the impression that we're free to wander the city on our own, actually."

[The Original 571]

@,

 

Fiera gasped dramatically. "Skip BREAKFAST? That's like refusing to live life to its full extent!... Actually, that's exactly what it is. AND THAT'S WHY WE CAAAAAAAAN'T!" she begged, kneeling down in front of Dusk. "I know we are going to have breakfast now because of my begging, but the effect is always nice"

She nodded, a frown once again returning to her face as she remembered how her voice was taken from her. 'If only I had talked, if I hadn't screamed for the cops to come, maybe I would actually be able to make friends...'

 

Her thoughts were cut off as the colt she had waved to earlier came. She wanted to get to know him a bit more, seeing as he kept popping up in her life. 'Great. How do I motion that out? How do I say, "Hey, you want to join us?" Ugh. Look's like I'll have to breaak out the notepad...'

 

She levitated a notepad and a pen out from her stringbag and quickly scribbled out, "Would you like to join us?" When she finished, she showed it to the new colt, letting it levitate in the air in front of him.

"Ah," Actius said to the stallion. "Thanks for the info."  Suddenly a notepad was levitated before him. It read, Would you like to join us? He looked at the mare, then it hit him - she was a mute. So that's why she wasn't talking. "Sure, why not?" he said nonchalantly. "I'm Actius, by the way. What are your names?" Oh wait, he thought, was that rude? I've never met a mute pony before. Maybe that's irritating, being asked a question. What would- NO. You're not doing that this early, Act. You're not risking messing things up, at least not yet.

Dusk rolled his eyes, a smile crossing his lips and then he started laughing. "Get up you, if anyone should be on their knees here it's certainly not you!" he then looked around the station, there was a surprising lack of activity on his part of the train. There where a few ponies here and there, and a couple of groups scattered around but nothing striking, at least nothing he saw. "Know of any good diners here?" he quipped suddenly.

Silent looked at Actius oddly, as he seemed to be thinking to himself. 'Oh well.' She thought. 'I probably look like that all the time.' She then levitated the notepad back over to herself. She used her magic to make it erase, and then she scribbled. "My name is Silent Dance. Or Silent, for short. I don't know what his name is, though." She then levitated it so both the stallions could see it, as she hadn't "introduced" herself to the purple stallion yet. 'Well, I'm making friends. That's a step in the right direction.'

Looking out over the rapidly thinning crowd, Jabbermouth skulked. Accent was nowhere to be seen, as were anyone he had met previously. Heck, he'd even take Encore right now! 

 

Wait, what was he saying? He was Jabbermouth. He didn't need friends. And he certainly didn't need...mutual attraction. What was that word? It started with an 'L'...

 

Lesbian? No, there was another 'L' word...lesbians?

 

Bah. Too much thinking, not enough money-making. 

 

He shrugged off the previous day as a lapse in concentration. Yes, Accent was a pretty mare, and she seemed quite talented, and he still wanted- no, had to go on a date with her. It was the proper thing. He could coax some money out of her later. For now, he deserved a vacation from yesterday's vacation. He put on his best salespony smile and walked out of the station and into Buffalo.

 

 

OOC: I've kind of lost track of everyone...if someone wants to run into Jabber, go ahead. He doesn't bite. Too much.

 

[The Original 571]

 

he quipped suddenly. 

(AAAUUUUGGGH IMPROPER USE OF QUIPPED EEEEEEEEEE! You only used it to flatter my OC)

 

Fiera shook her head. "I've only even been to Canterlot, Fillydelphia and Ponyville. That's part of the reason why i went on this train in the first place. I wanted to meet new ponies, see what was out in the world. I guess we could look around for a place to eat" she said and stood up.

Accent finally gave up on trying to find Jabber in the train, and sighed. "Well, maybe I can spot him while I'm here... If I'm THAT lucky...", she muttered under her breath, as she stepped out into the station and into the town of Buffalo, immediately greeted by the cold, brisk air. She shivered a bit. "Man, I need to get used to cold..."

 

At that point, she was able to spot Jabber out of the crowd, and she called out to him. "Hey, Jabber!"

[Descant 1,898]

@, @@Windy Scamper,  

 

Encore nodded at the pair of them. "Actius." He peered at the notepad held up by the mute pony. "Silent Dance? Beautiful name." He smiled. "I'm Encore. And it's wonderful to meet you both." 

 

The crowd seemed to be ushering the three of them, and indeed several other ponies on the train, down a winding and lonely road that followed the river, which began to flow ever faster, and was now curiously shallow.

Jabber's ears perked. No way. It couldn't be...

 

Slowly, he turned around. On the other side of the crowd was Accent, calling out to him. 

 

She's pretty when she shouts- wow, that's a weird thing to think, Jabber. Stop thinking to yourself. Okay.

 

He turned on his heel and pushed his way through the crowd, unceremoniously shoving slower ponies out of the way with only a near-imperceptible "Sorry!" or "Excuse me!" to rectify his actions. Finally, he squeezed his way in between two rather plump ponies and found himself face to face with the mare of his drea-

 

Ew. No. Bad Jabber. No romance. "Uh, hey, Accent. How are you? Wanna go see the falls? Or maybe lunch? Or wait, its still time for dinner, isn't it? Silly me, I meant lunch. BREAKFAST. I meant breakfast. I...I..." I'm a moron, that's what!

Accent couldn't help but giggle at Jabber's confusion. He's really cute when he's so confused... Well, so is Encor-- No, I couldn't find Encore... Right now, it's all about Jabber now... Just him, no mentioning you-know-who. Don't mention Encore-- BUCK!

 

"I think I know what you mean.", she said with a smile. "I'm fine with breakfast first, then we can go visit the falls."
