Mel chuckled. "Hehe, that bird is so cute on your head like that. Anyway, my name is Mel. I wanted to say hi and ask if you would like to come over to Ben's place. We were getting together and chatting. We'll be living together so it's good to know eachother, ya know? Anyway, I didn't catch your name before. What is it?" he asked.

 

Chirp took a deep shaky breath before replying, keeping the door open just a crack. "S-Sweet Ch-Chirp." He mumbled, shuffling his hooves. He really wanted to close the door...but the colt...er...Mel, was right. He was going to be living with the ponies, sorda, so it would be best to meet them...properly. Or he could just hide and never leave...which was something he was considering...still, he couldn't help open the door another inch.

"Sweet Chirp? Aww, that's a great name. It's cute. And it suits you very well, Chirp. Anyway, I hope to be your friend, Sweet Chirp. So, do you wanna come over and say hi to the others? If you're not ready, I could come over afterwards and talk to you alone," he offered, not wanting to pressure him into anything.

Well, way to put me on the spot, Mel...

 

Percussive turned back to Benjamin, smiling a bit. "Sorry for not getting to introduce myself earlier. My name is Percussive Force, but I just go by Percuss as a bit of a nickname. It's nice to meet you...?", he said, wanting a name and a hoofshake, as he extended his hoof.

"Oh...uh, hi, again." Dusk replied, stepping up on level ground. "I...kind of do, need...something" he mumbled quietly as he looked back down the stairs. "I...appear to have locked myself out of my apartment..." he chuckled "only...I never did get a key, so i'm not really sure what to do"

Chirp kept staring at Mel before deciding what he was going to do. He closed the door and slid the chain lock from the door, the undid two deadbolts, a few simple slide locks then finally, the handle.

He opened the door a little wider then before and took another deep shaky breath. "I...I guess I'll c-come." He said. Sunny patted him on the head with her wing before she curled up in his mane. Chirp reaaaaaallly didn't want too...but like Mel said, if he was going to be neighbors with these ponies he may as well attempt to get to know them...of course he was pretty sure he'll just run back home again...but it was worth a shot.

"Oh that's great. Follow me," he said walking over to Benjamin's front door and knocking. He knew he had to be gentle with Chirp in order to avoid scaring him. "You seem like a really nice pony, Chirp. You should come over my place sometime and we can have tea or something. You can bring your cute little avian friend there," he said with a chuckle.

Hesitating quite a bit, Chirp walked from his apartment and closed the door behind him.

He followed just behind Mel and blushed slightly when Mel called him nice. He just gave a slight nod as Mel mentioned tea, but didn't speak, he was preparing himself to meet the other ponies...which he was dreading.

@@Umbreon,

Benjamin took Precussive's hoof and shook it.

"Pleasure to meet you, Percussive. My name is Benjamin. I hop we grow to be good friends." He said turning his attention back to Dusk.

 

@, 

"Well thats no good. I'm sure one of us is mechanically adept, so we can help. Why don't you join me and the others in my apartment?"

Benjamin asked. He could just use his magic and try to unlock the door, but he wanted another stallion to join in on the 'getting to know you' gathering in his apartment.

[Agent505 661]

@, 

 

Dusk was considering the offer, until he heard the "others" portion of the statement register in his head. "Ohh...I uh, you know, I think I might just go and see if I can find the landlord...or...something, y'know? I still need to uh, to...um, unpack! Yeah! I need to unpack and I...I wouldn't want to um, intrude on anypony's business or..." he continued to ramble on as he slowly backed down the stairs, slipping about 4 steps down, but catching his footing as he grabbed the railing before continuing down. 

[MelancholicMemory 2,025]

@, @, @,

 

Mel caught Dusk on the stairs, steadying him. "Watch your step!" he said with a friendly laugh. "Hey Benny! Look who I brought. Sweet Chirp, this is Benjamin. Ben, this is Sweet Chirp." Mel stood beside Benjamin, just outside Ben's door. He reached towards Chirp to help him up the slippery stair that caused Dusk to trip.

[Rainbow Dash 1,472]

@,

Benjamin was a little disappointed at the stallions response.

"Alright. just know you are always welcomed into my apartment." He said 

Benjamin turned his attention to the other stallions.

 

@,@,

"Oh hello! I finally get to know your name." Benjamin said. He was starting to feel like Chirp disliked him, but he would still continue with his friendly attitude.

"Well I'm glad you are both here now, let us go inside my apartment. I think you will all enjoy the atmosphere." He said to both the stallions.

He then opened his door revealing his interior.

Benjamins walls were decorated with many zen like paintings and ornaments. His floors were made of thin varnished wood with a sand garden in the far corner.There was a small bed that could be seen as well as many scattered incense candles in various holders.  

[Agent505 661]

@,@,  

 

Blushing a little in embarrassment, Dusk quickly said his thanks and then practically bolted down the stairs and outside, round the corner of the apartment and lay on the floor around the side of the building with his head in his hooves. "This is not happening...this is not happening...this is not happening..." he kept repeating to himself, in a quiet mumble. 

"Get back in there, and join those stallions Dusk!" The voice in his head called out to him again. 

"Not happening Shadow, not happening! It's too much too fast, I cant deal with this right now..."

"Stop making a fool of yourself - again! One more of these outbursts and i'll take char-"

"NO! Just...no...okay? Leave it..."

 

And then there was silence for a few moments, nothing but the sound of the wind and incoherent chatter from the building slowly getting quieter and quieter until they couldn't be heard anymore.

Chirp took Mel's help and managed to get up the stairs without slipping. He watched as one of the colt's ran off down the stairs. *Guess I'm not the only shy one.* He thought, giving Benjamin a shy look before looking past the colt into his apartment...it was quite pretty and had a warm welcoming feeling. Chirp smiled slightly but waited for somepony else to go in first before he followed.

Mel stepped inside, looking around. "Wow, I like what you did with the place. It's very zen. Very relaxing. Right, Sweet Chirp?" he asked Chirp before continuing. "It's a nice atmosphere. What exactly do you do for a living, Ben?" he asked, trying to make conversation and make things easier for his more shy companion.

[Undyne 1,483]

Percussive simply watched Benjamin, Mel, and that shy pony enter through the door, leaving him outside. Except for another shy stallion that bolted out of the way of him.

 

"Welp... Looks like I got time to myself..", he simply said as he walked back up the stairs.

[just ignore me 86]

(I have no idea what I was waiting for)

Auburn was heading up the stairs to his apartment when another stallion went rushing past him. He turned his head and watched him hurry away but decided not to get involved.He carefully crept to the door of the apartment and pressed his ear against it. He heard voices inside and let out an exasperated sigh. After his panic attack earlier in front of Stratos he didn't want to deal with people. Auburn slipped as quietly into the room as he could opting to put the groceries into his room to avoid contact. He was only a short distance from his room now. Not wanting to get into a conversation he bolted for the last couple of yards into his room slammed the door behind him and lay down on the floor exhausted from the day he had had.Because despite all the kind people he had met he had still made a complete fool of himself as well as traveled to a new home in a new place all he wanted to do was sleep.

@,@,

Benjamin smiled at the two ponies before answering Mel's question. 

"Oh thank you, I try to achieve a certain calming sense when arranging my things.For my job,well I'm sorta like a therapist. I cure ponies with my various scents and just by talking to them." He said as he breathed in the scent of his apartment.

"What about you stallions?"

"Well, I went to school for engineering, and now I work at a company designing certain devices, but I care about my art more than anything. I write, I draw, I play, I do everything, though I'm not exactly the best. I try though. What about you, Sweet Chirp? What do you do?" he asked in the kindest, most friendly way possible.

Oh dear...talking...the thing Chirp hated doing. He gulped and glanced over at the door before looking back at the two stallions. He took a deep breath in...the out before speaking. "I'm...bird keeper." He said, looking up at Sunny who had fallen asleep on his head.

Mel chuckled a little. "Very fitting occupation. You should show me your birds some time. I once read a book all about different kinds of birds. By the way, Sweet Chirp, that bird is really cute sleeping on your head like that. What's his name?" he asked with a smile.

Sunny heard the word "Him" And instantly got angry. She jumped off Chirp's head and flew towards Mel, quite obviously annoyed...buuuut Chirp was too quick. He grabbed her tail feathers in his mouth...but she kept trying to fly towards Mel. "Mffsunny...noff." He said. Sunny gave Mel a very angry look before flying back to Chirp's head. "She get's angry when ponies think she's a he...Sorry." He said, very quickly...and a little less shy than before. He blushed and shuffled his hooves.

Mel held up a hoof defensively. "Sorry! Sorry! I'm not an expert in birds or anything and you were in his mane the whole time. It's my bad. I was stupid. I'm sorry," he admitted to the bird, attempting to pacify both the bird and her owner. "If it makes you feel better, I think you're a cute little girl," he told the bird. "So, Chirp, what's her name?"

"So, Chirp, what's her name?"

 

Chirp shuffled his hooves before muttering something incomprehensible and shuffled his hooves. He realized that no pony heard what he said so, taking yet another deep breath. "H-Her name S-S-Sunny." He said, as Sunny gave Mel a disapproving glare before flying up to Chirp's head.. Chirp frowned and muttered something again. Sunny hummed back into Chirp's ear...sounding a little ticked off, er, as angry as her sweet hums could sound.. "He didn't mean too, Sunny." He muttered. Sunny, looking rather defeated, walked back over to her nest made out of Chirp's mane as Chirp blushed slightly and looked down at the ground.

"Sunny. What a cute name! She certainly seems like a smart little bird too. So do you raise your birds from infancy, or do you simply take care of them as adults?" he asked inquisitively, hoping that Chirp could open up more when speaking about something he loved.

[Rainbow Dash 1,472]

Benjamin smiled as he observed the ponies conversing.

@,@,

"Sorry to interrupt,but i was just wondering if i could get you guys anything?" Benjamin asked with a smile.

He has some food and drink stocked up, though the drink was room temperature and the food was a little old.
