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

[slimmyjimjim 35]

Looking around for someone to talk to she wasn't quire sure if she should talk to anypony in the past Cuppie usually went by cutie marks to determine if she could approch a pony however tonight they were all dressed in fancy dresses and suitsso it was just one big guessing game and she felt lije she was going to lose this round."Maybe I should just go back to the kitchen." She thought.

Rudolph was trotting through the mansion to find somepony to talk to when he spotted a small, blue mare with a short mane covering half of her face. 

 

"She looks just about as lost as I," Rudolph thought, "Better put on some of my Germane charm" he thought jokingly. He straightened his tie and walked gracefully over to the mare. He bowed in front of her and said:

 

"Many greetings to you, my name is Rudolph Jäger of Germaney. I happened to notice that you looked a tad lonely and thought I would come over to make your acquaintance. May I have the pleasure of knowing your name, madame?"

 

Rudolph blinked slowly and smiled his most charming smile. It was custom, after all, to make a lady feel welcome.

Cuppie blinked in surprise she never imagined such a fancy pony would appoach her and she was taken aback when he did.

Say something normal, "hi," idiot. "My name is Cuppie Cake," better, "the pleasure is all mine sir." Nailed it. "All the way from Germaney you say? I've always wondered what it was like there care to share any good tales of you life there." Don't over sell it.

Joan somewhat reluctantly  separated her lips from Asnee's when she felt a shiver go down her spine, that had nothing to do with the feelings currently coursing through her head.

"Hold that mindset, but just let me get out.Your Joan is actually nowhere as resilient to water temperature, as she used to be."

She climbed out of the pool and looked around. There were a dozen or so loungers, each with white towels and blankets. They were obviously made with diamond dogs in mind, which meant that they could easily accommodate two ponies.

She wrung out her mane, which now almost reached the ground, and rubbed herself off with a remarkable fluffy towel before creeping under the blanket and grinning at Asnee, who seemed at bit at a loss.

."Well, are you gonna take of that dress and donate some body heat, or am I gonna have to track down another foreign colt?"

Asnee opened his eyes when their lips parted away. At first he was disappointed, but he understood that Joan was freezing in the pool. Waiting for her to dry herself up, he breathed heavier and deeper, pushing his lung capacity as he channeled more energy through his body to create more warmth. He did as Joan said and wrapped her with his dress, offering her his chest and shoulder to rest if she wanted. He helped her getting warm by rubbing her back with the towel. With another hoof he fetch Joan's glass and offered it to her, "Warm enough?"

Rudolph's eyes sparkled in delight. He absolutely loved telling tales of his old home, hopefully in exchange for some equally as fascinating stories from the other ponies he meets on his travels. He took a breath; where to begin? He started with his home village.

 

"Oh the pleasure is all mine, madame! If you care to walk with me, I will tell you all about my home. In fact, I just recently moved here to Equestria to begin my travels. You see, I seek to discover all the different types of ponies, griffins, and other creatures that inhabit this world. All of the different cultures are just fascinating, and each and every pony I meet during my travels have all been so wonderful and unique in their own way."

 

Rudolph stopped. He realized he was rambling. He blushed slightly and cleared his throat.

 

"Ahem. Anyways, would you please consider accompanying me on this fine evening for a little while?" He offered his hoof politely. 

[Silverwisp the Bard 2,353]

 

 

Warm enough?"

Joan sipped the rest of the punch and nibbled down the remaining pieces of fruit. The she deposited the glass on the ground.

"Almost."

She wrapped her forelegs around Asnee's chest and pulled him down next to her, using one wing to drape the blanket over them.

Then she rustled the claw trough Asnnee's short mane. and placed another kiss on his lips.

"That's better."

[slimmyjimjim 35]

She listened to every word he said excited to hear anyponies stories. There was a pause as she looked at his extended hoof shocked, most of the nobility she had met didn't care for the working class and surely were never this nice to anypony perhaps he didnt know she was from the kitchen. Making sure he wasnt looking she glanced down at the skirt of the dress making sure that it was covering her cutie mark she would have to be very careful or else she could lose her job. Cuppie took his hoof with her own and nodded meekly wanting to hear more about places outside of Equestia and was currious what other places were like and how she could get there. She walked on the right side of him so that she could see him but this also made her blind to everything else at the party.

"That's better."

 

Asnee placed a hoof on Joan's cheek, getting their eyes to meet each other, "Indeed."

 

His hoof moved from her cheek to her back, pulling the almost-dry mare closer to his body. He stared up to sky. The moon showed up between some night clouds, giving them a shiny silver lining. It seemed like there was more space above those clouds to the moon.

 

"Does it feel the same like in the White Tail Wood? I mean...," he wasn't sure what word he should use, "Everything."

 Rudolph smiled and tipped his head politely towards the mare, delighted that she had agreed to walk with him. There was much to talk about, and much to hear. As they began walking down the corridor, he noticed Butch watching very closely throughout the crowd. Almost as if.. he were looking for somepony? Somepony out of place to ruin his 'perfect evening'? Rudolph looked away. There was nothing to worry about, he was just another guest invited to this formal gathering. He looked at Cuppie Cake. She seemed too innocent to have done anything wrong.

 

Reassured, Rudolph continued to talk about his village in Germaney, where he climbed mountains and swam in ice cold lakes isolated from any nearby towns, completely serene and beautiful. He poured his memories from his heart out to whomever was listening, especially Cuppie Cake. He smiled at her and flashed his white teeth.

 

"I hope my accent is not too strong, yes?"

[Silverwisp the Bard 2,353]

 

 

"Does it feel the same like in the White Tail Wood?"

Joan smirked into Asnee's mane.

"Well, I had exactly one coltfriend before leaving White Tail and that was when I was thirteen: Flicker. He was a pegasus with green eyes, I always wanted green eyes as a filly."

She chuckled again as more memories surfaced:

"He had prepared this whole campfire date at the lake. I brought some fish to roast and made him try some. He was sick for a week and afterwards he wouldn't talk to me."

[Toxic Widow 62]

"You know what? Dancing sounds great! I'm kind of a klutz though... Don't expect me to be much good at it." Novella replies, smiling. She had never really been approached with romantic intent before. The few times she had she had pushed those stallions very far away. She wasn't a flirty pony in any way and was a bit confused to why Black wanted to dance with her when so many beautiful mares were trotting right beside them.

[Mephisto 56]

"Hey, don't act like you don't share that trait with everypony. If you ask me, nopony can really dance." He said laughing. "I can't dance worth anything, so we won't be self-conscious." He laughed again and stepped toward the dance floor. He began to dance very laughably.

[slimmyjimjim 35]

If curiousity killed the cat then Cuppie was one dead feline. She loved listening to all of his stories she had never met anypony so interesting, "oh, no your accent is wonderful I could listen to it all night," she blushed, there she went again saying the wrong thing try to cover your tacks. "W-what I mean to say is that it must've been harder for you to get used to our accents we must sound so funny to you." Then a thought occurred to her, "what if he starts asling about me?" Well then I'm just going to tell him as much of the truth as possible this is a nice pony and we wouldn't want to upset him now would we. No ma'am.

"He had prepared this whole campfire date at the lake. I brought some fish to roast and made him try some. He was sick for a week and afterwards he wouldn't talk to me."

 

"Oh..." That wasn't the kind of answers Asnee expected, but he still listened to Joan. Even though he didn't know that colt and Joan had told him that the colt was sick, he still had a will to buck the damn colt for leaving her. At least for him not wanting to talk to Joan again, but remembering that Joan was with him that night, he relaxed.

 

"I know it sounds cliche, but I will never leave you... no matter what," he chuckled, "Even if you don't believe what I say now." He glanced at his glass, and sipped out the remaining liquid in it, leaving the fruits. He meant to eat them later. "Want a refill?"

"If it doesn't offend you... i need to go... talk to someone." He rubbed the back of his neck, wiping his mane backwards but it just came back into position.

Rudolph listened to Cuppie's question and thought.

 

"You know," he smirked, "I had never really thought about it that way before. Other ponies accents are just so intriguing that I hadn't been bothered by them at all!" he laughed. Then he looked at Cuppie and smiled.

 

"I am especially fond of your - how do you say? - innocent and timid way of speaking. It is quite unlike anything I have encountered before. Such secretiveness is bound to have wonderful stories hidden underneath. Please, while the night is still young, tell me about all of your adventures."

 

He looked deeply into the mare's eyes. He realized that he thoroughly enjoyed her company. He blushed slightly and hid his face, causing his hat to fall to the ground.

 

"Oh!" he said, flustered, "Entschuldigung, bitte. Please excuse me" he bent down to reach for his hat, trying to hid the  color flushed in his cheeks.

[Silverwisp the Bard 2,353]

"I know it sounds cliche, but I will never leave you... no matter what,"

Oh, heavens.

How was she gonna say this without sounding horrible?

"Asnee, please don't say things like that. Not yet anyway."

She searched for words, if not the right oneat t least not the wrong ones, struggling to express the turmoil in her head and chest."

"Its not that I don't things between us to work out, I really do. I mean I really enjoy being around you, talking to you and all of, well, this."

She realized that she was starting to sound frantic and took a deep breath.

"But, Asnee, I'm responsible for the safety of two dozen ponies. Its been over a year now and I'm still figuring out how things work. And adding being responsible for your happiness to that, it'd be too much. Now, right now, I can't make a commitment like that. And I can't guarantee you that it will be any different in another year or so."

She turned his head with her forehooves, so she could look into his eyes, that curious shade somewhere between hazel and gold.

"I- I just think you should know this."

@Shymantic, Gearbox suddenly frowned, looking over the crowd. "If it doesn't offend you... i need to go... talk to someone." He rubbed the back of his neck, wiping his mane backwards but it just came back into position. "Will you promise to be here if i come back?" he smiled, giving his best innocent look.

 

Mulberry nodded brightly. "Don't worry. I'm not going anywhere," she reassured him. As he began to trot away, she pondered over what had happened and where Gearbox was going. She almost asked where he was going but thought better of it. He'll be back... eventually..

[Sky Warden 2,243]

 

 

And I can't guarantee you that it will be any different in another year or so."

 

Asnee tried to stared up to Joan's eyes and smiled to prove that it was fine, but his gaze felt heavy and it was just a weak smile which showed up. He denied that it was his feelings. He never admitted weaknesses. Sometimes, his principle of mental discipline wasn't so easy to apply like other ordinary theories.

 

"I...," he held Joan's hoof on his cheek, fighting an urge to sigh and release the weight in his chest, "I understand." A memory of the rune of his great grandfather sprout out of nowhere, and he couldn't help but match it to his condition, "You have something to keep. Ponies safety. I understand."

 

"I am very useless," Asnee chuckled, not aware of what he just said, still trying to keep his smile on. "All I know is fixing machines and practicing martial art... what can I do with it?" tightening his lips, he shook his head slowly, "I don't even have a goal. Something to sacrifice my life for." He just realized that he spoke his thought out loud, "Oh... sorry, I was rambling."

@@Sky Warden,

Joan' put both fronthooves on Asnee's chest and pushed, so hard that he tumbled over the edge of the lounger and landed on the ground entangled in the blanket. Before he could get up, Joan was standing over him, fangs bared, screaming in his face.

"Useless!? Sacrifice my life!? Are you dense!? Have you heard to anything I just said!?"

She heard approaching hoofsteps and spun around: Two other guests, obviously alarmed by her screaming, took one look at her expression and thought better of it. Something moved in the corner of her eye and rounded back on Asnee.

"Stay down!", she hissed. She paced up and down, keeping her eyes on him, her wings clawing the air, trying to calm herself enough to talk at normal volume.

"Asnee, the time we spend together, that's normal. That's the one time of the day, when I can relax, when I don't have to feel responsible for everything around me, when I can depend on someone.  Asnee... I need that,"

She felt tears in the corners of her eyes and blinked them away angrily.

"I'm going on patrol, half an hour or so. Go mingle with the guests or Butch or go home. If you're still here after that I'll find you.If not,,,"

She couldn't bring herself to finish the sentence. She unfolded her wings and took off, corkscrewing up into the night sky.

He ended up running into a strange pair of ponies.

Rudolph looked up, startled that Gearbox had returned and was now inquiring him about the whereabouts of Butch. Rudolph quickly picked up his hat, dusted it off, and placed it on his head.

 

"So sorry good fellow, but I have not seen Butch at all this evening. Except for perhaps when I first walked through the doors..." he said thoughtfully. He turned back to Gearbox.

 

"I'm sure he's sitting in the main hall near the buffet table. You know how Diamond Dogs like their treats." he said with a chuckle. He cleared his throat. "But that's all I know at the moment. I really should go meet our host and thank him... What do you think, Cuppie? Do you know where Butch could be?" he asked the mare with a smile.

Ok it's my turn now gotta tell the truth, "um...well I'm from...." the truth, "...Ponyville." she then started to describe her home town when he made a compliment on her eyes and she laughed, "well thank you I think you're the first person to tell me that." When he dropped his hat she giggled uncontrollably until sonepony else mentioned her bosses name and she stopped. She had forgotten about Butch what if she ran into him.

Dont be stupid Cuppie he hires dozens of employees most of whom he doesn't know the names to no way he'd know who you are. But then another though occurred to her, he probably knows every name and every face of every guest in this room everything was not ok.
