Mulberry bit her lip uncertainly. "It's been going well -- the berries are really delicate, so it takes a really light touch to harvest them. Apples and other fruits are a lot more popular because they're so easy to harvest, but I think that if we introduce these ponies to crystal berries, they'll realize how amazing they are," she declared. "Someday I'm gonna start my own business -- I just need the money to begin," she added. "So, what do you do?"

 

Gearbox chuckled. "I mostly invent. I created a powered cart, i created these wings," He said, flexing them. "And like i said earlier i invented a flying ship...sort of." He chuckled again. "It's not perfect but i need more time to work on it. I spend a lot of time in my workshop. Though im considering moving it to ponyville. Resources take longer to ship to ca-" He stumbled. "Las pegasus."

Mulberry frowned and gave him a cool stare but flicked her ears and brushed it off. He'll probably tell you when he's ready, she told herself. "Your ship seems like an amazing idea... it seems like it would make transporting your resources and all sorts of other things a lot easier."

"Especially in canterlot. Rather then carting heavy resources up a hill, you could dock it off the cliff, where there would be a docking station." He smiled, looking out towards the entrance.

"I even know where i would put it. Theres this nice spot, by the waterfall. Great view of ponyville." He hummed. "Maybe i could show you sometime."

[Toxic Widow 62]

@, "That's the difference between you and me... I always care. I care too much..." Novella said quietly. Novella looked down and stumbled a little in her footing. "And that's also the reason Mother hates me...."  Novella thought to herself. She stopped dancing for a moment and take a few deep breaths. She looked over at Black and smiled at him.

[Sky Warden 2,243]

"I am ready, Master Hoof. Lead the way."

 

Asnee reluctantly gazed away from Joan to escort her to the ball. She looked very appealing in the dress she brought in the cloth bag. He knew he would spend more time with her tonight.

 

 

"Two questions: Did you eat my worm and second: Do you know how to ballroomdance?"

 

Asnee went nervous to the question. He didn't eat them, but she would be suspicious if he didn't say yes. He made an awkward laugh as usual, "Uhm, yes. I didn't know there were worms in there. I just drank it a little and yeah" - he shrugged - "it tasted good."

 

To avoid her asking more question about it, Asnee guided Joan hoof to the dancing area and held it with both forelegs, resting on his hind legs, "This is my first time, but I know how to do it a little. Let's go."

"Is everything okay? You seem a bit... Down." He asked the smiling mare. He then thought about what she had said so quietly. "Hmm, then maybe you just need a night where you don't need to care about anything? I think thats what ponies do at parties. Oh my gosh, what a coincidence. We're at a party now." He said with a smile. "How bout a drink then?"

[Addem Up 246]

She helped the pony up and looked down at the papers he was holding her brows furrowing in confussion, "blue prints? what do you need blue prints for?"

 

Addem shook his head, steadying himself against the mare as he got up. He picked up the blueprints, saying, "They're not mine. Although... these are very interesting. With a few tweaks, I think these could be quite profitable... Tell me, have you seen anypony around who looks like they might be an inventor?"

Cuppie thought about the two ponies from earlier but she didn't get to see them very well because she was in suck a big hurry to get out of there. Thinking back neither looked like an inventer but what were inventer supposed to look like? Cuppie didn't have an answer so she just shook her head looking down at the blue prints in surprise, "wow." It was the only thing she could say she never imagined that ponies could find a way to fly without the use of wings but now it seems possible.

Addem chuckled, nodding. "Wow indeed. While I do have a few questions about the means of propulsion, this idea is... well, I'd go so far as to call it revolutionary." He craned his neck, looking over the heads of the assembled ponies. "If you'll excuse me, ma'am, I should find the owner of these."

Raising her hoof to her forhead in a salute she tried to make to make a stern face but was unsuccessful and broke into a laugh, "ee should work together two pairs of eyes are better than one right?" This new conquest made her completely forget about Butch and her troubles and alsmost forgot about where she was.

Addem chuckled, shrugging his shoulders and continuing to glance around the room. "I suppose so. If you would look over the balcony and other outer areas, I'll check the main ballroom, all right? We can meet back up here if we find anything." He began to trot off, then stopped and said, "By the way, what's your name?"

[Toxic Widow 62]

@,"That sounds wonderful.." Novella replied a bit hesitantly. She needed to talk to Butch later on this evening to ask for a bit of financial backing for a major spellbook project she had put together. But of course she didn't tell Black that. She nervously shuffled her feet a bit and looked around a bit more at the main ballroom.

[slimmyjimjim 35]

She was about to go in search of the missing inventor when the stallion turned back to ask for her name, "oh I'm sorry my name's Cuppie Cake at your service." She made another half salute, "also we need to have a meeting place how about we meet back here in twenty minutes does that sound ok Mr.....?"

[Addem Up 246]

"Addem Up." He nodded towards the mare, smiling. "And that sounds wonderful." He bowed low, then turned and trotted off in search of whoever had dropped the blueprints. 

 

A few minutes into his search, he paused, adjusting the blueprints in his saddlebag so that they stuck out prominently, then resumed trotting around, keeping an eye out for anypony looking for something.

[slimmyjimjim 35]

She smiled this night was turning out better than she thought. Turning to go on a quest for the missing inventor she trotted almost skipped then jerked to a hault thinking "how am I supposed to find Dr. Flightship? Am I just going to start going up to ponies asking, 'oh hey there how's your night going, good? Oh well I seemed to have lost an inventor who lost some blue prints have you seen him or her?' No no no that definately won't work but what am I gonna do?" She looked down at her barrowed dress. The black skirt was riding up and didn't quite cover her cutie mark she hurried to correct this and looked around to make sure nopony had seen and it didn't seem that they had. So she started walking along the edge of the walls pondering how to go about finding the owner f the lost airship plans.

Black smiled and removed his hat. "As you wish my lady." He said bowing and using magic to pick up some glasses from the table. He moved them left and right and scooped some drinks into them without even looking. "After you." He said handing Novella a glass.

[Silverwisp the Bard 2,353]

 

 

"This is my first time, but I know how to do it a little. Let's go."

"Oh, if I had a bit for everytime a colt said that to me."

She laughed, when she saw Asnne's impression.

"Just kidding. Fair warning though: I haven't danced since school, so I might step on your hooves."

Let's see.

She leaned her head next to his and somewhat awkwardly put one frontleg around his neck.

"Lead away"

[Toxic Widow 62]

@,

Novella levitated the glass and sheepishly took a small sip. She smiled at Black and blushed.

"Thank you. Sorry if this is too personal...But do you have any family here in Canterlot? What's your background like?" Novella asked. She blushed again, but instead of apologizing for the question immediately, she decided to see if Black would answer it first.

[Mephisto 56]

@@Toxic Widow,

 

Black thought about the question for a moment. "It's fine. Well, I suppose that my parents around Canterlot sometimes, however, they are mostly out on long trips for business. Hey loved me dearly, but felt that they needed money to keep me happy." He said with a look of disdain. "I was a part of Canterlot high society, but never really saw why ponies from here felt so superior. I guess that I never appreciated the snobs around here."

[Sky Warden 2,243]

 

 

"Lead away"

 

Asnee shifted his head closer to Joan's and carefully placed a foreleg on her lower back, slightly pulling her closer. He slowly brought her back and forward, replacing one step with another. Somehow it felt rather easy to him. He guessed it was because dancing was pretty similar to martial art. When she stepped forward, he stepped backward, receiving her weight, then did the opposite. They slowly heaved in the dance.

 

"I can't figure out what to do next," Asnee whispered to Joan, followed by a small chuckle.

[Silverwisp the Bard 2,353]

 

 

"I can't figure out what to do next,"

"I don't know, twirl me?", Joan suggested in between carefully placing each hoof. She was not used to moving on three legs and having one leg around Asnee's neck felt weird: As far as she was concerned, holding on to things was what wings were for. And ponies do this for fun?

[Sky Warden 2,243]

 

 

"I don't know, twirl me?",

 

Asnee smiled despite Joan couldn't see his face in the dance. "Nah." He found it pretty fun. Moving along with her, very close to each other. Though, he felt some awkwardness from Joan's movement. It seemed like she wasn't used to hold something with her forelegs. He decided to play it easier and moved slower and more gentle.

 

"Do I have to say that?" Asnee whispered affectionally to Joan's neck, followed by a small grin. He hadn't actually said it to her, but he felt like he needed to say it at some point. Still keeping the dance slow, he added, "You know... those three words."

[Silverwisp the Bard 2,353]

 

 

"You know... those three words."

"Not yet", Joan murmured, into Asnee's mane.

She wanted to tighten her grip, pull herself closer, but she knew she needed to say more.

She lifted her head and looked into his eyes, trying her best to produce a smile.

"Just- just give me some time to sort out my issues, before we cross that bridge, okay?"

[Toxic Widow 62]

@, (Sorry I had a bunch of studying before and I'm going camping tomorrow until Sunday. Sorry.)

 

"I moved here once and joined a writing community but no one my family lived here anyway. I had an uncle that lived in Manehatten once..But my family has never really been fancy or big city people..." Novella lied. It was a complete lie too. All of her family was rich and powerful, except her. She loved to dress up and be pretty. It made her feel pretty, which was something she almost never felt.

Black couldn't help but look at the mare with admiration. "You are a remarkable pony. You're interesting and funny." He said shaking his head and taking her by the hoof. "You're beautiful. You don't need to always put yourself down. You're far stronger than you realize. You should show your strengths to everyone you meet."
