open Butch's Big fancy Ball (Social/Romance RP)

[Snowy Storm 57]

Forest had approached the buffet table, -Wow there's so much food. I wonder what i should try first. you know what forget it, i'll just take a little of everything. Forest went around the table taking small bits and pieces of food.

"Dang it" Forest said outloud "Those pony i was hanging out earlier with are still waiting for me" Forest took one last bit of and plate in front of him and rushed back to the group"

[Mephisto 56]

"Heh, not me, ponies generally tend to know when I'm there talking to them." He says smirking. "I guess I am a bit quirky sometimes." He thought for a moment. "So, you're an author then?" He asked after remembering her story about the conference. He readjusted his hat and then looked to get her answer.

[Toxic Widow 62]

@, "Yes I am! I try to write whenever I can, no matter what the subject. I've been in a few science journals from my reports on scientist's experiments. I've also written a few books and have countless unfinished books in my cottage back in Ponyville. I'm guessing your a.......Physicist?" Novella replies.

[Mephisto 56]

"Yes, good guess. I've been published in some magazines, and have had many of my theories proven. I have some papers that are left at home, I just have to test their hypothesese." He noticed what she'd said. "You live in Ponyville? I'm surprised we've never seen each other before."

[Toxic Widow 62]

@, "Yeah I usually keep to myself...It's just that....Well...Ponies don't really like me all that much I guess.. Nopony really ever wants to be my friend or spend time with me. I used to live in Canterlot but I never really fit in there. I did have more friends...But that's only because there larger writing community." Novella replies.

[Mephisto 56]

"I can't see why anypony wouldn't want to be your friend or spend time with you." He said to her. He smiled. "You are very interesting. Anypony who thinks otherwise, that's their loss." He said still smiling. 'That's just rude. Not giving someone a chance before you meet them.' He thought

[Toxic Widow 62]

"Thanks." She blushed and smiled at him again.

 

"So what's your story? I really don't think you're the type to go to these things all that often. I'm not either. I really don't know what lead me to come here tonight... What about you though? Why'd you decide to come?" Novella asked.

[Shymantic 48]

Mulberry Twist trotted lightly into the ballroom, glancing around as she went. She wandered aimlessly around, trying to find a familiar face in the sea of dancing mares and stallions. Snatching a cherry pie off of a salesmare's cart and tossing a few bits her way, Mulberry sat down at a table and nibbled at it carefully. First impressions were very important here.

Compass looked around. Where would they start their first expedition? Suddendly she spotted a door. Closed, but clearly unlocked. She noticed she was a bit hungry, so she teleported over to the huge food table and grabbed herself somethiing to munch on, a cheese and lettuce sandwich, before teleporting back. "Hey, you guys want to start the expedition now, or later?" She asked through a mouthful of sandwich.

[MyLittleCell 106]

Gearbox walked around, looking at all the groups and ponies. He stepped to the buffet, but nothing looked good.

He grabbed an apple, anyway.

He found himself passing a cherry stand, and saw a pony sitting rather lonly at a table.

"Hello miss, are you... Enjoying the ball?"

He smiled nervously. He wasnt good with words or social situations, but he felt compassion for this pony, he had been just as alone.

[Shymantic 48]

Mulberry glanced up and smiled at the stallion who had spoken to her. "Yes, it's quite nice," she managed to say. Remembering herself, she extended a slender indigo hoof. "I'm Mulberry Twist, from the Crystal Empire." She tilted her head slightly at the stallion. "What's your name?"

[Mephisto 56]

Black thought about it for a moment. "I'm not entirely positive myself. Maybe I just wanted to meet some new ponies, maybe I just wanted to try something new. I'm a scientist, I just need to experiment with different things sometimes." He said shrugging.

[MyLittleCell 106]

Gearbox relaxed a bit, shaking mulbery's hoof.

"I'm Gearbox, nice to meet you." He said, remembering his manners. He smiled a bit,

"The crystal empire? I've never been, myself. But i've heard its quite beautifull." He chuckled a bit

"I'm just from las pegasus, myself probably quite boring compared to the empire."

[Silverwisp the Bard 2,353]

"Please forgive me, where are my manners? May I please know the name of this lovely mare?"

Lovely mare? I must weight more than him.

 "Oh, my name is Joan." 

Now, how to explain the Nightwatch to an outsider?

 "Well you see, Equestria is ruled by two princesses, Princess Celestia of the sun and Princess Luna of, well, the moon." 

Well, technically there was also Twilight Sparkle, but she'd be dammed, if she'd put that chit of a girl on the same level as the Royal Sisters.

 "Until a bit more than a year ago Princess Luna has been.. absent." 

She wondered if the delayed sunrise of the night of the Return had been noticeable as far away as Germaney. 

"And after she had returned her royal gu ard had to be reestablished and well, I guess I was lucky to be  in the right place at the right time.It is tradition for the captain of the Nightwatch to be a pterasus." 

Were there pterasi living in Germaney? She couldn't remember. She wiggled her wings for clarification to be on the safe side.

 " To be honest, we're still in the process of setting things up. Luckily I got some officers who were Daywatch before and  actually know what they're doing. But we finally got the tower all fixed up and there are actually plans to rebuilt Moon Castle, if we can clear a road through that damnable forest..." 

She realized she was rambling.

"Oh, sorry I hope I'm not boring you."

Gearbox relaxed a bit, shaking mulbery's hoof. "I'm Gearbox, nice to meet you." He said, remembering his manners. He smiled a bit, "The crystal empire? I've never been, myself. But i've heard its quite beautifull." He chuckled a bit "I'm just from las pegasus, myself probably quite boring compared to the empire."

 

Mulberry smiled and shrugged. "The Crystal Empire isn't exactly the most interesting place to be if you've lived there your entire life -- but their festivals are the best!" She sat up a little straighter, feeling a bit more relaxed. "I was there when King Sombra was banished, too. The aurora that was created was the most beautiful thing I'd ever seen." Her magenta eyes glimmered for a moment, then she remembered herself and focused on Gearbox again. "So, did you like Las Pegasus?"

Gearbox smiled.

"It's about as full of weirdos as you've heard, after all i came from there." He chuckled. He surprised himself, normally he was a lot more cautios in social situations that he was put in. Though perhaps since he put himself in this one, it was easier.

A different, catchy tune started to play on the dance floor and Mulberry's ears perked up as she heard it. "I absolutely love this song!" she declared, snatching Gearbox's hoof and tugging him after her onto the dance floor. "Come one, let's dance!" she whinnied happily.

[Toxic Widow 62]

"Quite interesting....I wish I could be as outgoing as you are in that respect. I could never just go out and try things without carefully researching them first..." Novella commented wistfully.

 

She was actually starting to kind of like Black and suddenly she started blushing again. She looked down at her feet and hoped he didn't notice.

Gearbox was dragged along, being light and caught off guard he couldn't have much resistance. He smiled nervously, blushing a bit as well.

He always knew how to dance, he spent lots of his time, when he was trying to impress his parents, but he was never confident dancing, plus...

"I dont suppose you know some....Ballroom dancing, do you?" His cheeks blushed even as he said it.

[Sky Warden 2,243]

Soon after parting away with Butch, Asnee spotted a wide blue hat just like how the boss described. A presence of a bat wing convinced him that it was Joan. He happily skipped some steps forward. Looking over her shoulder from afar, he found that she was talking with a blue gentlecolt. The colt's black hat perched on his navy blue mane, fitting nicely with his fancy white outfit and yellow tie.

 

Asnee held his breath again, giving extra pressure to his chest, which surprisingly banished a mysterious pain he got a split second ago. They seemed like they were talking about something important, so he decided not to jump in an interrupt their conversation. The colt's appearance somehow made him feel awkward. Butch's brief comment about his dress suddenly felt right. He needed to pay more attention to his appearance, instead of using the same dress over and over again.

 

Didn't know what to do, he walked to the table, some feet behind Joan. Close enough for him to hear their conversation. A part of himself wanted her to notice him, or him to go there and greet her, while in the other part, he wanted to remain just like as he was, waiting for the night to end.

Mulberry Twist smiled brightly and nodded, beginning to walk him through the steps. As the music continued, both of them began to get into the swing of things. Mulberry danced and spun in tune to the music with Gearbox, her cheeks beginning to flush. She was actually enjoying herself here!

Gearbox stopped blushing once he got the hang of things again, having not actually danced in a while, he didn't quite remember much, but it all came back once things got going. He surprised himself with the series of events that have happened. He expected just to have a pleasant conversation with a nice-looking mare, and instead found himself dancing with her. He'd be lying to himself if he didn't say he liked the way things went.

All this went through his head as the music began to slow down.

(note - dancing on hind legs?)

 

Mulberry began to slow down as the music began to grow slower and smoother. She and Gearbox began to slow down and grow closer together as the couples dancing around them did the same. Her heart began to speed up as she carefully rested her head against Gearbox's shoulder and they danced slowly in the ballroom.

(I kinda assumed, but it occurred to me the absurdity of that image.)

 

Gearbox blushed a bit when she rested her head on him, but he didnt change his pace or dance. He smiled as he could feel her heartbeat against him, and closed his eyes, just listening to the music and her heartbeat as he suddenly found he didnt care what happened next, he just wanted to enjoy this moment.

Mulberry Twist relaxed and let her eyelids slide down as she and Gearbox swayed to the music. She felt as if the world around them had been quieted and they were the only ponies there, dancing together. She wanted this moment to last forever and ever.
