Milly was looking around. She watched as Dust left 'He's nice' Milly thought. She watched as the mare sat next to her. Milly looked over at her then looked around again. She looked back at the mare after what she heard her say. Milly smiled "Hey, i know how you feel...i have never been good at making friends either"

"R-really?" She smiled. Maybe this could be her chance to make a friend. "Do you want to um, be my friend?" She sighed. "It's okay if you don't want to. My name is Cerulean Sky."

"Really" Milly smiled back "Be friends? Sure! That sounds great...I'm MillyMusic, nice to meet you Cerulean Sky" Milly smiled, she felt like a little filly making friends like this but it didn't matter, she was happy she made a friend. She looked over to the stallion and the crystal pony mare "Did you see that their is a crystal pony mare here? I have never seen a crystal pony in person before. Have you?"

"I don't really pay attention to other ponies that much." She sighed and looked over at them. "Oh yes, I see them. I've never seen a crystal pony in person before as well. I wonder what she's doing here." Cerulean smiled, noticing that she now has a new friend. "What do you think?"

"Curious... As in, that's your name?" She asked the stallion, it was pretty much as accurate as she could imagine. "Im Wind Symphony. Or just Symphony. No, I've not noticed anything unusual."

 

She neglected to mention the uneasy feeling she had got on her approach. He was right of course, actually unnervingly so - tricks of the light were something of a speciality of hers, in a way.

 

Not that she was going to let him know that.

 

"Don't you think it's a little forward to assume something about a pony because of their race, Curious?" She said. It was a cutting remark, but she managed to say it without the coldness her voice usually carried: she was quite curious in the oddly insightful pegasus herself. Had he just made a lucky guess or...?

"Oh, but I do apologize, Miss Symphony." Curious said with barely a hint of insincerity. "I had just figured that it was something all crystal ponies learned about from a young age, given their architectural preferences and their own biology. Even if it's not something you yourself are interested in, I thought it would still be a part of your cultural upbringing."

 

Curious readjusted his scarf, "and that's something I would be able to relate to. Even though I may be from Cloudsdale, that does not mean I have the slightest bit of interest in the weather, but I still picked up on somethings."

It was a good response, smart, avoided any... implications. She had intended to make him uncomfortable, throw him off track, and he'd not even flinched. She almost even smiled.

 

"Your good at this. I didn't mean to offend." She wondered what he did. He was subtle - more so than she was, when it came to words anyway.

 

"You are correct, though I wasn't born in the city myself. I did grow up there, and yes, I do know a thing or two about light."

 

She wasn't sure if she liked the idea of talking to a pony who was so intuitive - it felt like back when she was on the streets again, having to be aware of every action she made, watching her back.

 

"So then, mirages you say? I'll bite, tell me more and I'll let you know If I see anything."

Milly was looking at the crystal pony and the stallion talking then looked back at Cerulean "I don't know...if i was her i wouldn't want to leave that beautiful crystal place...Wonder how nice it really is there?"  She sighed "We could always go up and ask...but that might be rude, shes talking to somepony"

[GaleFenrir 281]

@,

 

Curious grinned, satisfied. It had been far too long since he had met somepony to match wits with. The royal guards certainly hadn't proven much in the way of entertainment, they were more so just a nuisance.

 

"According to this fellow, this building had seemed far larger when viewed from afar. My personal theory would simply be because the landscape is so bare anyways. No, what was more interesting is the shape of its silhouette, jagged, would be the word he used to describe it."

 

"Of course Dust didn't go into any detail, but he is convenient. No sense in having somepony know what exactly it is that you know, after all."

"Have you tried flying up and looking from above? Viewing things from different angles is good for getting a new perspective."

 

It wasn't really her area of expertise - she dealt with light on a much smaller scale than whole buildings. Still, elevation was usually a major factor.

 

"Or in different levels of light? Of course you have."

 

She didn't really know much more than that: the building obviously wasn't trying to disguise itself or anything,

 

"Or... Maybe the pony who told you was lying? Or mad. Or both."

[GaleFenrir 281]

@, 

 

"Hmm, well, I certainly hope Dust wasn't lying. He certainly didn't seem mad, but now that you mention it, maybe that would be why he thinks himself a pianist." Curious chuckled. Of course he didn't think Dust was mad, because if he was mad, then so was Curious. And they were sharing in some sort of madness.

 

"I'll act upon your suggestions, but that can wait until later. I can't much control the level of light outside... well, theoretically I could move some clouds around, but that just sounds awfully tedious." Curious still wanted to talk more with Symphony, about any number of topics, but he knew she wasn't in the most talkative of moods. Still, he had sown the seeds for the near future, for certainly he had left an impression.

 

"I'll be seeing you around then, perhaps we may have lunch together, even." Curious said, bidding adieu and making his way to settle into his room, which would take about an hour or so, given that he had a mystery at hoof and needed to set up an impromptu work space.

 

((and with this I go to sleep, and I'll try to keep it closer to 8 hours than 10.)

As Curious departed, Symphony sat back in her chair and tried to get comfortable. The ache in her left wing had returned with a vengeance and while it wasn't unbearable it was enough to irritate her and remind her of its existence.

'Who would have thought, somepony with a bit of an edge.' She thought. 'Don't trust him as far as I could kick him but at least he's not as stupid as Scribe. And it might be a bit of a change to butt heads without somepony trying to kill me.'

 

She stretched again, wondering what to do. It had been a long time since she had actually taken the time to relax - she had almost forgotten how to.

Cerulean shook her head immediately. "No no no, I couldn't go over and interrupt their conversation, that'd be rude." She paused and had some more fried hay. "Anyways, I'm going to see if they have some showers here." Cerulean smiled at Milly and trotted off to the receptionist's desk.

It was no good - she wasn't going to be able to get comfortable. Standing, she swept through the room towards the stairs: hoping that a few hours bed rest might help her feel a little better.

 

(Just wrapping up to explain Symphony's absence for a short while.)

Diamond Dust walked around in his room. He looked over at Coal. "This was a bad idea huh? Stayin in here, alone. It's not very excitin here. Oh but that mare Milly was wonderful. And Curious was nice too. Aw Coal I'm still bored. Hows about we go look for a piano?" As Coal rolled his eyes at the stallion's rambling, Dust started walking out of his room. Coal stayed behind so he could rest. Or I can look for one myself... He walked around the inn for several minutes when he found it. And it was beautiful. The grand piano he found was of superbly high quality, much better than his own back in Ponyville. He walked over to the piano and sat down. He rubbed his hooves together, accidentally causing some coal dust to form in the air. He shooed it out of the way, horrified of the piano being tainted, even though it was already black. He put his hooves on one key and pressed down. It was the most beautiful sound he had ever heard. He breathed out a long breath, and proceeded to play his favorite piece of music.

@, (just so you know i'm in the same room now)

 

Repsol was just walking out of the diner when the air around him filled with the most amazing piano piece he ever heared.

"Whoa! Looks like we got a artist in here!" 

As he followed the music, he eventually came across a room with a big black piano in it. The piano seemed to be the source of the wonderfull music, since it was being played by the stallion he earlyer briefly saw in the diner.

Repsol first thought about saying something, but then just sat down and enjoyed the music. He soon found himself completely lost in the tunes emitting from the piano.

Milly nodded "Yea, you're right..." She looked around then looked back at Cerulean "Well, most likely they have showers here" Milly laughed. Milly looked around at the building again and wondered why from the outside it looked so weird...Milly was thinking about the building when she heard music...it was a piano playing, 'Maybe its that Stallion i met' Milly thought. She looked around for where the music was coming from

Cerulean walked away from the receptionist's desk. She heard that a piano started playing. "Whoever is playing that is good." She thought. She loved to make music as well. She was very creative. She walked to where the receptionist said there was a shower. When she got there, she was very surprised. There was no shower, instead there was a lot of instruments organized in the room. There was also a notebook with a brand new quill, and there was a canvas, with an assortment of brushes. "This is amazing." She said to herself. She grabbed a brush and started to paint a picture. "Maybe it's not so bad here after all." 

[GaleFenrir 281]

Curious's ears picked up the faint sound of a piano being played. "Ha! I knew I wasn't crazy!" He said, as he slammed his hoof down onto the desk he was sitting at in his room. That tremor caused his assorted and perfectly arranged writing utensils to shake, a few falling off onto the floor.

 

"AH!" Curious exclaimed rather loudly as he hurried to pick up his pens and rearrange them into perfect little rows. As a finishing touch, he nudged the one on the farthest left slightly askew. "Perfect now."

[Ampharos 1,009]

After finishing the piece, Diamond Dust got off the seat and turned around. He didn't expect Milly and another pony to be there. "Oh, um, hello Milly." The stallion looked at the newcomer. "Hay I saw you earlier. Name's Dust. Mind if I ask your's?" Dust didn't know why, but he felt like he was almost avoiding Milly.

Repsol snapped back to reality when the music stopped.

He then noticed the stallion in front of him.

"Nice meeting you Dust, name's Repsol Rave, but you can just call me Repsol." 

Repsol extended his hoof in greeting. 

"I must say, that there was very impressive, where did you learn to play like that?"

"Nice meeting ya Repsol. As for where I learned to play, there was a piano in the music room at my school when I was a colt. I was pretty good, and ah taught mahself the rest. I took a couple lessons in Canterlot but not much else." Just then, Coal came bouncing into the room. "Ah there's Sleepin Beauty!"

Curious finished laying out his work space. He had several small notes stuck onto the wall, detailing every little thing he had observed in relation to the case. He was using a pencil to draw on the wall lines connecting the different tidbits, trying to piece together everything, but he still had far too many holes and gaps to draw any conclusions.

 

"Nothing more can be accomplished right now just sitting in here by myself." Curious thought, opening the door out of his room. The piano music had at this point stopped, which was a little disappointing to Curious, who had hoped to catch the performance as it was ending. He didn't let that deter him though, and he traveled the halls of the inn for several minutes.

 

"How many corridors can this place possibly have? Things generally aren't bigger on the inside. I wouldn't think I am just walking in circles, though." Just to be certain, Curious started making small marks on the right-hoof wall. On a whim, Curious decided to open a door, since it seemed like it wasn't a private room.

 

The room seemed like a recreational studio. There was musical instruments of all sorts lined up, and various mediums for visual art. Inside he saw the pegasus mare who he saw briefly in the diner, and she was in the process of painting a picture. "Why, hello there, nice painting you have there."

[repsol rave 2,963]

@,@@PinkieShyFlutterPie,

 

"Wow, you learned that all by yourself? That's really impressive, you know."

As the bunny hopped in, Repsol couldn't help but laugh a bit at the 'sleeping beauty' comment.

"Cute pet you got there." He said, nodding at the bunny.

repsol looked around a bit and now saw the mare he was completely oblivious to the whole time.

"Oh hey, i didn't notice you standing there. Name's Repsol, as you may have heared. Pleasure to meet you!"

He gave the mare the most warm and comforting smile he could master.

Milly saw that it was Dust playing. She watched him play till he was done. "Oh, hey Dust" Milly smiled a bit shyly. She stood there for a bit and watched as a stallion and Dust talked, she wasn't sure if she should leave. When the stallion talked she turned to him "Oh...Hi Repsol. I'm Millymusic" Milly said a bit shy

Cerulean jumped and looked behind. There was a stallion standing behind her. She heard what he said and responded quietly, but loud enough for him to hear. "... Um.. Hi... My name is Cerulean Sky, and thank you." She paused thinking of what to say. "I really uh, like your scarf. It looks, beautiful." She thought of what else to say. "And uh, you look ravishing." She suddenly felt embarrassed for saying that.
