private An Unexpected Trip to the Human World (Closed!)

[00Pony 286]

""Well," Twilight explained, "a cutie mark is a special mark a pony gets on his or her flank when they have found their purpose in the world. For example, a baker pony would get a pie or something. It just appears out of the blue once a pony finds his or her special talent. Much like your tattoo, it holds special meaning. Except we ponies will get one, unlike humans, where it is a choice to get a tattoo or not; we all will get a cutie mark sooner or later."

 

Logan looks at his tattoo. Aside from this he had three more, but he didn't really see any excuse to talk about them. His eyebrow did raise slightly when Twilight mentioned the location of the mark, but shrugged it off as he strained the water from the meal and placed it on a non lit burner of the stove, "It represents a special talent? I find myself wondering what on earth mine would be, as I have no idea what my 'special talent' would be," He retrieves two bowls from a cupboard, and forks from a drawer and begins to dish the meal into them as he speaks, "So what's yours? Talent and mark?"

"Is that gonna be enough??" Colette asked, but decided against pressing the issue. It's been a long couple of hours, and she was sure Rainbow was as tired as she was. She pulled out the salad, as well as some ham. After adding some salad into a bowl, she quickly threw together a sandwich for herself.

 

"What's what??" Colette asked as she emerged from the kitchen, seeing that Dash was referring to her dad's Xbox. Seriously?? "That's an Xbox…" Colette deadpanned slowly, eyebrow raised. "And you own n00bs by playing videogames online with it." She said before stepping back into the kitchen. "Too cool to game, or what??" She asked as she handed Rainbow her bowl, holding a fork with a finger.

"Uh...yeah. Totally. Y'know. I'm all over the cool. I wrote the book on cool." Rainbow wasn't completely sure if Colette was being sarcastic, so, naturally, being a pragmatic pony, she decided to air on the side of cool. You could never wrong with too much cool.

 

Besides, food! Rainbow grabbed a bowl of salad and dug in, bringing the mix of greens to her face and munching away. It wasn't as fresh as Fluttershy usually prepared or anything, but when you were hungry enough anything tasted good. Maybe everything tasted different, too, because of this weird body. Not all these flavors were familiar. She grabbed a chunk of some of the other red stuff Colette had brought out too...man, this stuff was chewy....and burped a couple times before pausing to take a good breath.

"Hey, this..." Rainbow waved a hand at the not-salad, licking her hands...her stupid tongue was too short, though, and she couldn't get it in all the little places in between claws on this stupid...grr... "This stuff isn't bad. What is it?"

@The Original PWD, (I--literally, there's nothing to do in this post. Fluttershy passes. She's falling asleep)  

(Brain dead has that effect)

 

Magneus finally found a pad that he could sleep on. He set it up with a few blankets and a pillow behind the couch and laid down. "Goodnight Fluttershy, lets hope we can get a bit of luck tomorrow in trying to get you home" he said and pulled the covers over him.

Star blushed. "You're sweet but i'm nothing special. The only different thing about me is that I am part zebra part pegasus. But most of the foals when I was younger just made fun of me for being weird." She shrugged before looking at the towel that she had wrapped around her body. "I wouldn't mind getting some clean clothes."

 

Liam shook his head, smiling. "Well, I don't know much about ponies, or zebras for that matter, but I think there's a lot more to you than that. You're kind, a dedicated musician, and, if I may say so, astonishingly beautiful. I don't know if I've ever met a human who could measure up to you in any of those things." He wanted to kiss her so badly, but he didn't have the courage. Besides, there was no way she could possibly feel the same about him. He was just some strange alien creature to her. "Anyway, if you go get your clothes from yesterday, I'll take you down to the laundry room.

Star blushed. "You're too kind." She said, slowly standing up. "I'll be right back." She said, shakily walking down the hall towards the bathroom. She...was beginning to wonder about Liam...nothing bad, he just seemed like he was holding something back...

 

 

Moonstruck's head tilted curiously, but then she sighed. "This place really is a long way from Equestria, isn't it?" She gazed at Emily intently as she took a bite out of her sandwich, which looked rather insecurely held in her hand, and asked, "What else is weird about this place?" She asked it seriously.

 

"There are many things that are different from your world...I wouldn't call them weird. But...I dunno...do ponies have car's ?" She asked.

Liam shook his head. "No. Everything I say is completely true, maybe even an understatement." He sighed as she walked away. He didn't know how much longer he'd be able to keep this up. But if he tried something he might scare her off, and there was no way she could survive in this world on her own. No, it was better for both of them if he just kept it to himself.

Midnight:
Fluttershy slept soundlessly and without stirring, the only noise made a slight murmur when she exhaled from between the sheets on the fold-out bed. But Fluttershy was also a light sleeper, and became aware when the nearby front lock to the apartment jostled and clicked as a key was turned in the lock.

 

She opened her eyes for a second, then quickly closed them, waiting for Aly and Alex to walk in and listening carefully in the quiet for them.

"Yes, 'my Queen'." He says, narrowing his eyes at her, "You've heard of us before? Odd. I was under the impression we didn't exist here previously... But no matter, you don't need to.. what was it you said? Google? You don't need to do whatever that is. I can prove to you that we're real, if you so wish."

He crosses his arms as he says this, quietly adding, "You're still younger than I am," and then sinking into silently talking to himself, "Why would I appear younger..? Either it's our my biology playing a joke on me, or the fact that I was in the middle of a transformation when the spell hit." He catches himself speaking out loud, though quiet, and stops talking altogether, instead he looks at Rachel, awaiting her response, "I'll try and get into touch with the Queen and Cicada after I learn a little more.."

" The word 'Changeling' rings a small bell. I may be confusing it for another word, or I heard it on some show on TV. You don't know what Google is?" Rachel crossed her arms, one eyebrow raised, an amused expression on her face.

"It's a search engine on the Internet. You can search for basically anything. Either way, sure. I'd like to see proof, as you currently sound like you should be sent to a mental asylum."

Cicada sent back, "At first, he didn't believe my story, but once I proved that I was a changeling by shifting shape, he did believe me. Then he wanted to help me."

 "As i suspected... it is understable. I mean... put this in their perspective. You just said you are from a world were magic exists and here there isn't. There were three options:1)Either he would believe you and this would end up well, 2)He would require proof to believe you, our case as you can see or 3)He would have sent you to a nut-house. We're in luck i would say."

Talent and mark?"

"My cutie mark is basically a large purple sparkle surrounded by 5 other white sparkles, hence my name," she responded. "For awhile, I just figured that it just symbolized how bright a student I was when I received it after becoming Princess Celestia's student. Now, as a princess, I've realized that those 5 other sparkles surrounding the big purple one represent the rest of the elements of harmony. My friends. They were the ones who allowed me to understand the power and magic of friendship, so I guess that's what my cutie mark is supposed to symbolize."

Alex and Aly quickly got inside then closed the door, relocking it and then heading to the bathroom to prepare for bed then go to sleep. "For rich people, they really don't tip very well" Alex whispered. "Be quiet, we don't want to wake them... But i agree" Aly responded as they tiptoed over to the bathroom. "I call it" Alex whispered and quickly rushed into the bathroom then locked the door. "Hey, thats not fair!" she whispered loudly. She crossed her arms and waited outside the bathroom for her turn.

He gains a knowing smirk as Rachel states she'd like proof, "Very well then," he looks behind himself at the window, studying his appearance for a second before closing his eyes and focusing. A circle of emerald light resembling both flame and mist simultaneously appeared around his feet, it grew brighter and shot up his body from the his feet to his head. He turned around after looking at himself and smirking again. He was still himself, but an older version. His shoulders were broader and his face looked more mature, and he was another two inches taller than before, "See? If this-- Ooh! New voice... Now that's interesting. I've taken so many other voices before but never heard another version of my own. Deeper.. I like it!" He looks back to Rachel, realizing he got sidetracked, and chuckles, "25 and still a child on the inside. As I was saying, if this is not proof enough, show me any depiction of a human male, and I will replicate his appearance," Diliges leans down slightly, still smirking with a mischievous glint in his turquoise eyes, "Perfectly."

Logan carries the two bowls and forks to the table a few steps away, setting one down on either end, and pulling out a chair for Twilight as she explains her mark, "So Cutie Marks a sort of precognitive then? At least in your case."

He gestures for her to take the seat. It was a simple habit of his that had stayed with him throughout his life to be respectful or chivalrous to any one, though he rarely had any excuse to.

 

Ulysses trotted over to the table, following the food, and sat at attention a foot and a half away, watching Logan's every move closely.

“Yeah...” What was with this girl and wanting to be so cool??  “Most girls still think videogames are too dorky, so it's cool.” Colette said as she moved to take a bite of her sandwich, only to be distracted by the sight of Rainbow Dash put the bowl to her face and inhale the salad. Nope, it wasn't enough at all! In a flash, half of her sandwich was in the hands of Rainbow Dash. Before she could say a word, she had dug in, ravenously eating it in mere moments, belching a few times as she did so.

“You've never had ham before??” Colette finally asked, not entirely sure Rainbow was ready for the answer... “Nice manners, by the way.”

Star came back a few moments later carrying her dirty clothes. "Well...here we go." She said, smiling at Liam as she leaned against the wall for support. "Where is your washing bucket ?" She asked, looking around the kitchen as if she was hoping to see a bucket for washing clothes.

Liam chuckled a bit. "Humans don't generally use washing buckets. Not anymore at least. Maybe fifty, sixty years ago, before we had better technology. Anyway, the laundry room is in the basement of the building. I think you'll probably find it quite interesting if you're used to washing with a bucket. Follow me." With that, Liam turned and opened the door, looking back and waiting for her to follow.

Star laughed. "Oh stop joking around." She said, sure he must be joking...how could they wash clothes without a wash bucket ? It was just impossible. "I only just realized that I have...only seen the alley and your apartment...what's outside? Are there other people in this building? Will I get to meet the other peopl? What are other people like? Are they as nice as you? Are all humans the same color as you? Do other humans have wings? Can they do magic?" She asked, suddenly feeling very excited about their trip to the basement as she followed Liam out into a hallway.

Liam couldn't help but laugh at her sudden outburst as they walked down the hall. "Well, first of all, no, there aren't any humans who have wings or use magic. Magic doesn't really exist in our world, actually. Well, some people believe it does, but it's certainly not a common thing. Not all humans are the same color as me, although most of the people in this building are. Sadly, not all people are as nice as I am, although I don't really like the idea of using myself as a benchmark. I don't know if you'll get to meet other people. Maybe a few. There are plenty of other people in the building, but I don't know that we'll run into any. And as for what's outside... I don't know, all kinds of things, really. It's a big city, and beyond that, there are highways connecting to all the other cities, and in between cities and along the highways is everything else, I suppose." As they were talking, they went down several flights of stairs and through a door. "Anyway, here we are."

Charles lock the door to the house, as he went to the car then open the passenger door for Rarity, while smiling to her and was polite too. "Here you go Rarity." Charles saying as he was getting his keys out and going to his driver side to start the car up while thinking. Then thinking that his friend better do his job find Rarity friends too so this way he can figure out what to do next.

 

Once they arrived at the restaurant, Rarity was amazed at it. There wasn't anything comparable back home in Ponyville. She said to Charles, "You had better order for me, after all, it's the stallion who always orders for the mare back home. I'd like the mixed vegetable platter, please."

Twilight sat down and began to eat the food. It tasted nothing like the food back in Ponyville, but it was still quite delicious.

"Well, cutie marks are, in a way, precognitive, but it only appears when a pony figures out his or her purpose in life," she responded. "Ponies can't choose what their destiny is. That's basically what the cutie mark symbolizes, I guess, their destiny."

"Thanks," Rainbow mumbled around her last bite. "I took lessons from a fashionista once. Prench manners and all that. I'm a pretty quick study."

 

Once the tank was full enough for her to slow down, she eyed Colette's lunch, a slightly less hurried concoction of throwing salad and ham together with some bread. "Ham, huh?" Rainbow leaned back. "Erm...nope. Can't say I have. There was this co--uh, guy named Doughnut Joe who made me a breakfast slam once, but that was really just a bunch of doughnuts and coffee. Not bad, I'm sayin', but, you know. Wasn't ham. Just rhymes."

 

It looked like she'd made the right move on the 'videogames' too. Dorky was not in Rainbow Dash's playbook, nor did she plan to make a lot of adjustments just because she was stuck in the Twilight Sparkle Pinkie-level Freaky Zone at the moment.

Drowsily she rolled over on the mattress so that she was closer, and poked the side of Aly's leg with one finger.   "G'night, Aly," she whispered with a sleepy smile.

 

Aly freaked out and jumped a foot or two in the air. She backed away from the source of the poke and then noticed it was just Fluttershy. "Oh... sorry. You really scared me there Fluttershy. Uh... goodnight to you too" she said back to her. It was a bit creepy that Fluttershy would wake herself up just to say goodnight to her... maybe this was only enhancing the thought that Fluttershy had a crush on her... but it would be too soon for that. Maybe in a week or so, if she still showed signs... well, then she would really start to get worried.

@, 

 

Fluttershy was a pretty early riser, having been trained to get up in time to prepare breakfast for hordes of small forest creatures who woke early enough themselves, and always hungry.

 

Stepping carefully over Magneus' sleeping form, she made her way to the bathroom, and then after washing up, to the kitchen, where she rooted through the cupboards with single-minded and unwavering determination. She missed the electric hot plate from fault in being able to recognize it, but still found pans and knew how to work the stove, which was similar enough to what they had in Ponyville. The result being that when the other occupants of the apartment awoke, it was to the smell of pancakes with blueberries, and to find a set table when they wandered into the kitchen, a plentiful, tasty and determinedly herbivorous breakfast.

(Ew, herbivorous)

 

Alex was the first to wake up after Fluttershy, the smell of... this was not good. Alex rushed into the kitchen only to find... "NO BACON?!" he exclaimed, searching the foods to hopefully find some trace of the delicious meat, but after his short and tiresome search, he found none. "But... you can't have breakfast without bacon..." he said sadly as he shrunk down into a chair.

 

Magneus woke up next. "Alex, stop being so loud" he said as he waltzed into the kitchen and sat down in a chair. "You work until midnight, you could at least sleep in a little" he said with a yawn.

 

"You're probably right. There isn't even any bacon..." Alex complained. "Fluttershy is a vegetarian, if she makes breakfast you will have to expect her not to make any" "Well then i will have Aly make some bacon later" Alex said and got back up and left for his room to hopefully get some sleep.
