open It's Dark In Baltimare

@,

 

Seeing the poor mare look sad made Icy feel a little bad.

"Please don't feel bad. I didn't mean to make you feel bad. I just rather just let things be" She tried not to face the general direction of Scribe.

"If you really want to know, I'm sorry, but even I don't even know the answer to it. So forgive me if I hurt you in anyway" Icy said bowing a little to her.

"In a emotional sense, none. In a physical way, none. I've never really had the need for such companionship. It get's lonely at times, but, I get over it." Spark said, and shrugged.

 

"So, truth or dare, huh? This is an interesting way to brutally murder time. Your turn to ask me."

"It's nothing Nuke, you weren't being rude. Just... don't worry about it." Scribe added to his friend before rounding on Icy.

 

"You know, if you don't want to answer a question it's fine to just say so without snapping."

 

Things were somehow getting out of hoof and he didn't have the first clue how to fix the situation. All that he knew was that his new friend, who had barely stopped grinning long enough to breath up until this point, was suddenly looking thoroughly dejected.

 

"Maybe we should go."

 

'Nice diplomacy Scribe, I'm sure they all thing a lot more highly of you after that...' He thought, wincing.

Emerald shook his head. "You'll find someone eventually, I'm sure. No-one can live completely cut off from others, and we all have our perfect match out there somewhere. Anyway, I guess I'll choose truth again. I don't really have anything I'm too ashamed to admit."

Nuclear looked at each of them with a mixed expression of confusion and legitimate concern for both Scribe and Icy. "Ah...um..." She continued to scratch the pavement. "It's fine...I shouldn't be nosy..."

 

'Perhaps it was a bad idea to go and find out what the flying thing was....'

She felt that, despite the unknown cause of the hostilities between Scribe and Icy, that her curiosity had caused this specific confrontation. 

 

"I think...I want to go back to my hotel room for a while..." she muttered quietly.

Orion looked at Scribes sadly. He was a little confused and for once, he couldn't really tell why Scribes was suddenly becoming hostile with Icy.

 

 Scribes, Nuclear, can we meet up sometime later? We clearly need to talk." Orion said, confused and with a hint of frustration. 

 

@@Snowy Storm, 

He then turned back to Icy, who seemed to be feeling mixture of frustration and slight guilt.

 

"Hey...Icy, you mind telling me what's wrong?"

 

 

I can't even tell what's going on and what's wrong anymore....I really do not like feeling like this! Orion thought.

@,

She was unsure what to say to Orion.

"I don't know anymore. I'm just... I'm sorry" She had nothing better to say.

"I'm sorry but could we go later? I think I rather just go home. I'll meet you at the restaurant later today if you still want to go, I need to cool down for a little while" She smiled and bowed to him "And by the way it hard to miss it's the only restaurant with Five stars that has a flower shop in front of it"

"Sure...you know where to find me." replied Nuclear, a small smile on her face. She closed her eyes and took a deep breath.

 

'Calm...everything is calm...'

 

@@Snowy Storm,

 

Nuclear turned to Icy. "If we meet again. Perhaps it'll be on better terms. Again...I'm sorry for prying.." Another smile appeared on her face, this time as a gesture of good will.

I guess this is a good way to pass time... It's interesting to get to know him. I kinda wish Orion was here though...

 

"Have you ever caught your parents 'doin' the dirty'?" Spark asked casually.

 

Why are all my questions sex related? It's interesting. Maybe I find him attractive...?

Emerald shuddered. "Not exactly. I haven't actually walked in on them, but I've certainly heard it enough times. The walls in our house aren't nearly thick enough. It doesn't help that my dad seems to love talking about it for some reason. They certainly don't have any qualms about being open with their affection. Your turn- truth or dare?"

[Minath Khalsi 195]

@@Alex Kennedy,

 

"Dare" Spark said with little hesitation.

 

I wonder what he'll have me do.... This should be interesting. I wonder why I chose dare.... perhaps I'm curious about his choices in fetishes...?

 

NO! Bad Spark! You are NOT allowed to think like that! 

 

((Some of the humor I find particularly funny))

Emerald grinned. "Oh, really? So you're going to let me do anything I want with you? A dirty mind might consider this to be highly erotic, you know." He shook his head. "But of course, I wouldn't dream of taking it that far. You said you'd never really had any close relationships, right? Then I dare you to find a stallion to take you out on a date. With your looks, I doubt it should take long."

"Alright, well I'll see you all later!"

 

He then turned and headed off to his hotel. As he was walking, he took a good long glance at the city surrounding him. He saw that Balitmare was a continually growing city, almost even surpassing Canterlot in it's population and development. That's why he moved here, and that's why he plans to stay...the city was full of opportunity, full of growth, full of change.

 

Orion was walking down the blocks when he saw Sparks shop once again. He walked closer to it to get a better look. Looking through the windows, he saw Sparks again, as well as the stallion he had seen before.

 

He saw that she was clearly occupied at the moment so he gave a simple knock on the window as he smiled and waved towards her, before continuing his walk through the city.

"Yeah, hopefully" She said. She walked passed Nuclear and Scribe. As soon as she was out side Icy took the back alleys of the town to avoid meeting anypony. She wasn't going home, she didn't want Regal to worry about her. She would head over to a small bakery she knew. Not many ponies go there, but it was the place place she knew if she wanted to avoid people. Plus with free bread that they gave her would really make her happy.

"Icy, hold on a sec!" shouted Nuclear, trotting after her. "Um. If you want to hang out sometime I'm at this one hotel down the street." She smiled, a genuine feeling of hopeful friendship seeming to permeate the air around the gray mare. "If you want I mean, heheh."

Spark scoffed and shook her hoof.

 

"Yeah right. But I said dare, so I'll find a stallion. What's my time frame, anyhow? A couple of hours?" Spark said, shaking her head.

 

Spark saw Orion knock on her shop window, and a thought dawned on her.

 

Maybe Orion would go on a date with me... He would have to be crazy to do so, but still. Or maybe Emerald is hoping it'll be him...?

@,

"So you would still try to be my friend after I snapped at you like that?" Icy was confused about this mare. She looked around and took a deep breath.

"Please forgive me and my actions against you." 

"Maybe another time we can hang out together, but for now I wish to be alone" Icy turned and began to walk away from Nuclear. "Thank you" Icy said before leaving.

"Of course, I'd still like to be your friend!" replied Nuclear, smiling slightly. "You were just a bit upset and that's okay."

 

'It was sort of my fault for the confrontation anyways...' she thought.

Emerald thought for a minute. "Tell you what: I'll give you an hour to get a stallion to take you out, but if you ask them out, I'll count it, even if they say no. And like I said, with your looks, I can't imagine there's a single stallion in Baltimare that would turn you down. And remember, it can be any stallion. As long as they're not, like, related to you, or something. But your machines don't count. That would be weird." He knew he was taking a risk with this, but he had to make a move quickly since he didn't know how long he'd be staying in town. This was probably his best shot.

Spark nodded.

 

He wouldn't have given such a short time frame if he didn't want it to be him.... So I guess I'll ask Emerald to go on a date with me.

 

"So, Emerald, want to go on a date with me?" Spark asked, losing no time.

 

I'm sure he assumed it would be him I would ask out... maybe we could go to that pub again...

"It's a possibility. But I don't really see the point in debating possible outcomes when we've already reached our current."

 

Would I have? Curious, the possibility was in my head... an interesting development.

"I was thinking maybe McAllister's again. And flat-out refusing wouldn't be very sportsmanshiply, right?"

Spark shrugged and rolled her shoulders in the 'what-ever' manner.

 

"Let me just set afew things up for Rernad..." Spark said, and messed with some of Rernad's wires.

 

"Okay, I've set a pre-recorded message that should play when the bell above the door makes a sound, and left a pad of paper and a pen for ponies if they must leave a note. Ready to head out?"
