Pripyat Pony 2,608 March 8, 2013 Share March 8, 2013 Unholy bowed; "it would be an honor to live in the temple." Unholy said, then she stood up straight. Glory smiled at her new apprentice. "You can come with me whenever you wish," she said. "I will sort out a room for you. Bring any belongings you have, and don't worry any more about ponies being nasty. Nopony ever insults an Oracle or the apprentice of an Oracle; they never know when they might have need of my talent of prophecy." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aRegularPony 306 March 8, 2013 Share March 8, 2013 Demence peeked through window after window, hoping to avoid being seen. Eventually, he looked into a room filled with ponies... Including the emperor. This could be either the perfect time to either become accepted, or be killed. Either way was going to be better then his current life. He climbed through the window and crashed to the ground. "Um... hi?" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sunbro 4 Lyfe 937 March 8, 2013 Share March 8, 2013 @, fire Slayer did not move from his chair nor flinch at a pony climbing through the window of the building he was in. Instead he levitated the pony by his neck over to him, not enough force to choke him but enough to restrain him. Fire then took another sip of tea and looked the pony in the eye. "state your business trespassing here before I melt you. quite literally at that." (OOC: not to self: Stop writing "flame dancer" rather than "fire slayer".)

I've had to hide from everything because, you know, stripes." He was scared at this moment in time. He knew very well that if the emperor could kill him instantly at any time.

Sunbro 4 Lyfe 937 March 8, 2013 Share March 8, 2013 @, Fire Slayer sighed and put the pony down. "as willing as I am, I am not able to call an entire cities attention for one pony alone. It is also sheer fact I am unable to change the opinions of said citizens. I do however have a badge, which would show you can be trusted to do tasks for the hierarchy of ponies like myself. But that would require a long time physically training and showing that you can be honourd, therefore I cannot hep you in this situation." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miss Light Diamond 2,801 March 9, 2013 Share March 9, 2013 Diamond sighed as ANOTHER pony came into her office...this time he came in through the window...and he wasn't really a pony. But...she was too polite to ask them all to leave, so she stood up and edged towards the door, wanting so badly to just leave...even if it was her 'private' office.

Pripyat Pony 2,608 March 9, 2013 Share March 9, 2013 Glory stepped forward. "Forgive me for interrupting, Emperor," she said. "But I could offer the stranger refuge at the temple. Nopony is allowed to attack anypony who takes refuge there, and in any case, I would not allow such a thing to happen. That would at least give the stranger a safe place to rest up. As for changing the citizen's opinions, I fear such a thing will not happen for many years." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jdor11 91 March 9, 2013 Share March 9, 2013 Icicle had finally entered the streets of rome, looking for work he had heard that Rome was a good place to start, "maybe i should go to the palace? i might make a good body guard for some!" Icicle walked looking at all the sites and sounds, "Wow! Rome sure is large." Icicle couldn't help notice though that there were not a lot of ponies around, "aren't cities supposed to be filled with ponies?" Icicle thought to himself, something was wrong and he just couldn't put hie hoof on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magpie 620 March 9, 2013 Share March 9, 2013 (edited) Scroll was feeling more restored, and became increasingly curious about this gem. "Perhaps there would be a book about this at the library? If this is from Britannia, they could have seized it from there. If those brutes know how to write, anyway." He packed up his quill and ink in his pack, hung the gem around his neck, and grabbed his dagger. He always kept his dagger close by, both for menial tasks and, if necessary, self defense. He wasn't particularly violent, but Rome could be quite dangerous, especially in this crisis. He entered, and began to look through the books, trying to find anything of use.

Magpie 620 March 9, 2013 Share March 9, 2013 "Figures, the only books this library has that might help at all are all unreadable." Scroll muttered to himself. "At least, unreadable to a speaker of a civilized language, this one doesn't even have letters!" It seemed as though Scroll would have to do this one on his own. He had a strange feeling that something much more important was going to come for him soon, however. But, for now there was noting to be done about it, and he simply flipped through some texts while he was here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
