Windy frowned at Chase. Chase did seem sincere enough, and Windy had thought he was an alright dude until the business with Minty, so maybe a fresh start would be good. "alright man, I'll give you another chance, I mean, I only want to have so many enemies at this school, and Todd and some of the other Deltas are already filling that quota to capacity. Doesn't mean I trust you though. You've gotta earn that back."

 

 

Cinder began walking down the road towards the campus green, hoping to find Windy there..

"Oh I know who it is." Blaze bluntly blarted (Alliteration) out. "It was todd I believe. Probably some scheme or whatever. But why the hell do you care?!" Blaze argued. "Don't you prissy jerkwads have something to do! And what the hell happened to that note I clearly wrote for you? Can you not even read a note correctly?!"

Minty ignored his words, and let out a squee. She was lost in Blaze's eyes. "Heh.." She said, not looking away. "Is it okay if I sleep here, Blazeyy?" She said, woozily. "I know not of this Windy, but he sounds stupid; like a frat. You're the perrrrrrfect stallion, if you ask me," she says, happily.

@@00Pony, @@GaleFenrir,

 

Exiting the Alpha sorority house, Todd looked around. In the distance he heard a squee from what sounded like Minty. Smirking and letting his horn glow momentarily, Todd continued on his way away from the Alpha house, back towards his dorm to bide his time while his plan went into motion. Pausing, a thought hit him. "Huh. If Blaze and Minty are a thing now thanks to my love spell, where does that leave Gardenia? I may score yet with her!" smiling even wider, he trotted away and out of Saro's sight.

 

@,

 

((Wow, Chase really changed a lot in the last, like, 24 hours. That's kind of weird, but ok.))

A familiar voice made Windy look up from the bench he had been sitting on, thinking. "I can't believe I couldn't remember the route to my OWN ROOM! that's just embarrassing.... Wait, that voice, I know him. That's.... Trails!"

 

Jumping up from the bench and getting into a fighting stance, Windy growled, "What do you want Trails? I mean, you already broke Minty's heart, and your boy Todd tried to rape her and kill me last night, so I'm really NOT in the mood for any bull. How about you just keep walking buddy?!" he said, trying to restrain himself from full on tackling Chase and beating him to a pulp.

 

Chase sighed in relief. "Thanks," he says.

 

((Cinder should be coming by now. Windy can find Cinder.

@,@, @,

 

Gardenia shook her head, "Look, Blaze, I'm not going to hold anything you say against you, I know you're not yourself right now. Just... make sure you don't do anything you might regret to Minty." Gardenia let out a sigh.

 

"Neither of them can listen to any thing I have to say in their respective states. And if Blaze wanted to hurt Minty, I would not be able to stop him." Gardenia started to trot down the hallway, not bothering to bid the two adieu in their mind-addled states. "No, there is only one pony I could talk to, to try and sort out this mess. If that ninny really did charm Minty, he must have had a reason. It's probably not the best of reasons, but given what he's gone through recently, there's some degree of responsibility I have to take myself."

@,

 

"Yeah man... But I don't know how much I'll be seeing you, things around here have been cra-" Windy stopped talking as his eyes drifted across the quad. There, approaching Chase and him, was a simply amazing looking mare. As in, drop dead gorgeous. His mouth fell open like a broken cash register box. Stuttering like an idiot, he started walking away from Chase and over towards the mare without even realizing it. 

 

Cinder smirked vainly. Runner hadn't looked at her for more than ten seconds and he was smitten. She'd have him be forgetting who Minty even was in two minutes, tops. "Hey there. I'm Cinder Match. You're Windy, right? Windy Runner, the soccer player?" she asked, batting her eyelashes and pursing her lip slightly. 

 

"................................................................. Say something you idiot!!!"

 

"Uh, I'm Rindy Wunner, uh, I mean, ah, Windy, Windy runner. I am indeed Windy Runner." he spluttered out, fighting as hard as possible to maintain eye contact. "Nice plo- er, nice day we're having." he mumbled, feeling stupid. 

 

"Hehehe, you're funny Windy! And brave, if half the stuff I've heard about you standing up to Todd is true. Bold stuff for a little freshman......" she purred, flipping her mane so that he could smell the scent from her hair. "I like brave colts........ so, how about you let a lady show you around campus? You are fairly new here, after all...." 

 

Nodding mutely, Windy let Cinder lead him off, a stupid blank grin on his face, only managing to give Chase a thumbs up behind Cinder's back as he left.

 

@@GaleFenrir, 

 

Leaning against a tree in the quad and letting the shade of it conceal him, Todd smiled slightly. Everything was working out quite nicely, even by his standards. By the time this was done, Gardenia would be all his, Blaze and Minty would be a love poisoned item, Windy would be heartbroken by Cinder, and everypony would have forgotten his recent string of bad luck. He'd be back to being President of the Deltas, Runner would know his place, he'd have a great marefriend, and everypony would love and respect him again. Turning to head back to his new dorm, he caught sight of Gardenia exiting the dorm building. Smiling broader, he began to approach her. She seemed upset; this might be a great opportunity to get her into his corner for good. "Hello Gardenia, how is your day going?"

Gardenia was relieved to have finally found Todd. "He seems... oddly content. I don't know all the details yet, but I figured he would be more depressed. And..." Gardenia took a closer look at him, and nearly put her hoof to her mouth, "he has so many... wounds, bruises, cuts and scrapes. I didn't realize things had gotten so violent."

 

"Really, that's not important here, Todd. What all has happened?" Gardenia said in a relatively stern but still soft voice.

She seemed upset; this might be a great opportunity to get her into his corner for good. "Hello Gardenia, how is your day going?"

Minty was trotting by to go get something for Blaze; a flying pig, she assumed. Minty has gotten a lot dumber when she was in love with Blaze. She passed by Windy and some random mare. "Hmm, is that that Windy stallion that Blaze was talking about? He seems to fit Blaze's description." She said to herself. She saw a mare. "Blaze seemed to be lying; I'm not his marefriend, she is. Meh, I'm with Blaze. What else could I ask for?" A part of her not-lovestruck self was still part of her though.. She flashed a sad smile over to Windy. She shook it off. "What am I doing?" She resumed to her duties happily to find a flying pig.

[Sunbro 4 Lyfe 939]

Blaze sighed and began to pace, or limp, around the room. "Alright Blaze. Think. So Minty has been poisoned. Pink eyes, twitching, memory loss of otherd. OK. But what was the cure? Hmmm. I'm not going to stab her. Yet. Too early for that. I don't think making another one and tricking jer again would help. What was the cure? I read the book." he suddenly came up with an idea.

"Ah ha! I'll just hospitalise her for the day and get windy to comfort her! No no. So what he hell do I do?!"

Minty trotted into the room. "I got it! One flying pig." Minty struggled to keep it still. "So, did you miss me? I sure missed you!" Minty said, ear twitching. She sat down and let it fly out the window. "I didn't think that pig was possible, but it was!" Minty smiled. "And I did it for you!" She hugged Blaze to the point she was choking him. "Oh, we are going to have so much fun!"

(OOC: I just remembered I put in a bio so saro could have some actuall interaction!)

Agile had checked in merely a day ago and was already bored. "I've done my classes, shown that I'm better than that one frat I have never met and got a detention for drinking in lesson." She clapped her hooves once. "Great! So much left to do now!" She exclaimed sarcastically. She shrugged and looked around, before opening the fridge, taking out a few beers and leaving the dorm room. She'd have a walk around and sit near the prissy popular ones, tarnish their garden with her presense. That sounded fun.

Later that day, Minty was trotting back to her dorm, since Blaze made her go out of his room. She very reluctantly left to her dorm. She at least remembered where it was, and was pretty surprised to find that Windy was rooming with her. She trotted into bed and looked at a little photograph on her bedside table. It was her and Windy. "Huh. I guess Blaze must've made us take a picture together." She shut her eyes after staring at the picture for ten more minutes.

[Sunbro 4 Lyfe 939]

Blaze let out a groan as he climbed into bed. His hoof hurt like hell, but he had to let it heal. He began to take out tye pieces of glas from his hoof, getting blood all over the bed. "Ugh. Now I have to get the first aid kit. "He complained as he pulled it over. He didn't bother to heal it however, and juast went to sleep.

Royal laid back, reading over the letter again.

He had read it over twenty times in the last hour, but something made him read it again.

The hoof-writing was legit, the terminology was definitely his, but something put him off on it.

Royal laid it on the table to his side, sighing. He looked up at the clock, but he was tired, so even right after looking he forgot the time.

He picked the letter up once more, telling himself he's only read it one more time.

Todd blinked in surprise; Gardenia was more perceptive than he had expected. Gesturing to his numerous bruises and marks, he scoffed lightly. "What, these? No big deal, just had a bit of a scrape with some ponies. It was all a big misunderstanding, and its all good now. Well, in a manner of speaking. Not everything is good, seeing as there is this nasty little rumor going around about me and a certain underclassman mare right now. However, I have a pretty good idea who started it.... He's been trying to ruin me, first by sabotaging my football game right in front of my father, and now by trying to get me arrested. I'm sure you know him, he's a freshman, a  brown pegasus with a bronze and gold mane, always has an arrogant look about him, struts around like a peacock, dumber than a pile of bricks.
