She stepped inside dragging the suit case behind her her eyes had a far away look like she couldn't concentrate on what was in front of her. Her expression was blank and unreadable as she looked around the room not really seeing anything a deep sigh escaping er nostrils.

Shade looked up at mystical. She didn't say anything because she was still sobbing. She just got up onto her hooves and entered the classroom. She sat down and thought about the happy times she had in the sewers... But thoes happy thought quickly turned into the devastation she had to deal with... She wished she could talk about them... But... She just couldent talk about them.

  

@@slimmyjimjim, 

Mint Remedy had gone to the lobby. She had remembered some medical forms that had to be filled out, and being the head nurse, it was up to her. She went behind the counter and had just found the paperwork when she heard a knock at the door. Setting the papers nearby in a neat pile, she rose from her seat and trotted to the door to fine a filly with a suitcase.

"Hello," she said softly, leaning down a bit so she wasn't towering over her. "Are you a new arrival here? Come on in, it's cold." She stepped aside and held the door ope, giving thefilly a soft smile.

 

@@Feather Gem, @@Doppelrac,

Sunset watched the ponies talk from her spot behind Mystical. As a pony passed her on her way to the classroom, she noticed it had been one of the ponies from the lobby. she moved sso she was hide again and timidly looked up at the mare beside her.

"U-um... c-can you show me y-your office?" she mumbled, not wanting to seem impatient but wanting to go to the room as soon as possible at the same time.

 

 

((bringing Broken Cloud in soon.))

(Sorry I had to quote you. I'm on an iPad. No colors either I'm afraid.)

 

Mystical watched after Shade for a long moment before Sunset snapped her out of it. Mystical jumped slightly and looked down at the filly beside her.

"Oh, yes, of course. Forgive me," Mystical smiled gently. "Come on."

Mystical Flow began to lead the way to her office.

Chamois trotted through the halls, almost bumping into another foal every few moments. Every time she took another step, she could almost feel her heart break a little more.

But she also felt stupid for caring so much. Why did the littlest things hurt. Sweet Celestia.

 

(I'll also bring Angel Feather in later. Even when my characters don't get to interact, I have fun playing on my own Cx)

Mint Remedy watched the filly walk in and sigh with worry. She seemed so emotionless, but Mint knew from years of seeing new orphans that it was more often than not a facade, usually to keep from crying.

"Well.. would you like to get some breakfast? Or would you rather pick your bunk, or anything else?" she asked, wanting the filly to feel at ease and have the options to do something she wanted.

 

@@Feather Gem, 

((Is Angel going to be coming from Canterlot again? Perhaps if a social worker is to be with her, the worker could also be a worker for Broken. if you don't have a worker, I have a very kind pony who could work. dang that's a lot of "work"s))

Sunset followed the mare to the office. It was nice, and had a small window that she could look out of if she needed. She walked in, then turned to Mystical.

"Th-thank you..."

[slimmyjimjim 35]

The filly only nodded walking down a random hallway dragging the over sized suitcase behind her she trailed off down the halls thinking back to her parents funeral of which she had just came from. It was a beautiful funeral not that she had noticed but what she had noticed was that everyone was crying and they played sad music. It was like they were trying to make ponies cry but no matter how hard she tried the tears wouldn't come and so after the service she was straight over to the orphanage. Luminari sighed not seeing how a place full of kids with dead parents was going to make her feel any much better.

((Ugh, I'm SO SORRY that I haven't been posting. Usually, I only have enough time to jump on my computer like, 2-3 times a week, but this week is supposed to be a bit more relaxing.))

 

Sorrow at this point was just hiding under her covers, before popping her head from the covers to see her surroundings. It didn't look like anypony was still around... Perhaps she could eat in peace now...

 

She got up from the bed, holding the piece of toast in her wing and slowly cantered off to the cafeteria again.

[slimmyjimjim 35]

After walking for some time Luminari found herself in some sort of cafeteria, looking around with the same blank expression she sat down at one of the tables setting her suit case next to the table. It was the last thing she had of her old life and didn't want it to leave her site for even a moment. Resting her head on the table she drew circles with one hoof on its surface sighing every now and then this continued for a while until she looked down at her flank. It wasn't bare, on it was a lopsided yellow star with flames coming out of it. the site of it made her sick and she wanted to just rip it off, but knowing that it would never come off she only sighed and turned back to her circles.

[Lost Profile 644]

Shade continued to sob in the classroom. She was holding a heavy lode of stuff she just needed to get out... But she also felt like she couldent talk about some of the things that happened to her. She was in manehatten, lots of abuse. In the hive, beaten and banished. And now she was in an orphanage...

[Feather Gem 967]

@@Mint Drop,

 

(Yes.  She could have the same social worker as Broken.  But you'd have to make the social worker seem like a quite good one, because they would need to have been hired by Celestia for her.  xD)

 

Mystical smiled softly at the filly.  "No problem at all.  If you need me, there's a little button outside the door connected to the watch I wear.  If you press it, I'll come over as soon as I can.  Right now, I'll leave you on your own," Mystical Flow said, turning to the door.  "Relax, sweet filly.  Good things come to we who wait."

And then she was out the door and flicking the sign that said she was out over.

Mystical continued to smile as she went down the hall for a moment.  Then she let the smile fall from her face and she began to trot back to the classroom to make sure Shade was alright as well.

Breakfast had only ended a while ago and the day was already off to an exhausting start.

[Undyne 1,483]

Sorrow walked right in the cafeteria, and seeing a small mare already inside. It made her a bit irritated in the worrying way. Why is it that she's always supposed to be around somepony? Not only when she's sleeping, but in the classroom (minus the teacher), when she eats, and sometimes when she has to use the bathroom... It's like they're forcing her to make friends or something... Friends are nice, but she hated being around other ponies... She nearly humiliated herself with that bump on her head, which just showed as a small lightish purple welt on her scalp at the moment.

All she did was eat back in the same corner that she was in earlier, taking out the same toast she smuggled earlier and went back to nibbling on the bread.

[slimmyjimjim 35]

Luminari looked up to see a small filly walk in and sit down to eat, her eyes followed the little mare and all she could think was, 'your parents are dead... but wait mine are too.' She wondered how the filly could eat or keep going knowing she had no one to care about her, how she could carry and then she saw it. The completely empty look in her eyes the sad despair that was going to envelope Luminari if she didn't get out of there. 'I wish I was home' she thought to herself.

Sorrow looked up for a split second, only to find that the other pony in the room was looking right at her. She hated it when ponies began to stare right at her when she's doing something or nothing... She just hated being put in the spotlight for a situation. She just hated-- well, I think you get the point.

 

As much as she could, Sorrow tried to back into the corner as much as she could, and away from the other pony.

@@Feather Gem, 

Sunset poked her head out the door to the button Mystical was referring to, and gave a shy nod. She backed up into the room, and crumpled on the carpet when the door closed. After a moment, she got back up and walked around to the other side of the desk, and crawling under it. There, she curled into a tight ball and hid her face in her forelegs as tears started to stream from her eyes. 

Weak.

Waste of space.

Worthless.

Useless.

These and many other things she had been called bounced into her head and she felt like she was surrounded by everypony who had ever called her these names.
"I know... I-i-I'm sorry..." she whimpered.

Mystical Flow ran up to the classroom door.  She raised her hoof to knock quickly but paused for a moment before she did to catch her breathe.  She inhaled sharply and exhaled slowly.  She closed her eyes and frowned.  When she opened her eyes again, she had a gentle smile planted on her face.

She knocked on the door.

"Hello, Shade!" Mystical Flow called into the room.

[Lost Profile 644]

Shade looked at the door, she moned and looked the other way. "I don't want to work... I don't want to work anymore..." She said. And shade knew what they did to her in the sewers if she didn't do what the other colts said. Tears started building up in her eyes again, but she tried to hold them back.

@@Doppelrac,@@Feather Gem,  

For the past few moment Lionheart was quite aware of how fast things were going. It was obviously not the environment fault but mostly the fact that he silently followed and listened. From the moment the filly under the table run off he followed two other fillies who followed Mystical and another pony to a classroom door, but he didn't talk nor stay too close he was afar and hidden not quite sure why he did so. 

 

He quite realsed how good his position was when suddenly the pony named shade transformed into a changeling. Lionheart eyes lit up but he still stayed silent observing. At this point the other filly was also in the same silent state as him thought much more reviled and closer. She talked about normality . *So what ? It better being  unique.* Lionheart thought to himself.

 

Not long after the classroom opened and Mystical came out with the rest. He witnessed the changeling crying now back to it normal form and the filly named Chamois dumbfounded and semi-accused for it. 

 

Mystical told her to run off as Lionheart was faced with two choices sneak into the classroom with a highly unlikely chance of success since everyone was infront of the door or follow Chamois and ask her about her thought on the matter.

 

The choice was obvious and although talking to shade would have better information result  the chances that he wouldn't get caught and questioned himself was close to zero. Now passing right infornt of the rest right out of a shadowish corner and not getting questioned was also risky but more in his favor.Hopefully the current chaos could allow him to pass infront of them unnoticed.

 

But Celestia was on his side. As he went to come out of his hiding spot The other left leaving shade alone in the classroom."Someone got a holy light shining upon them." He silently said to himself. as he walked and as fast as possible entered the classroom before the door fully closed unnoticed and hid under some desk using shades depressive state to remain undetected. It was perfect he didn't quite realise how he manged it so perfectly but it was perfect or so he thought. The moment he went to revile himself the door knocked and it was Mystical flow.

 

He was trapped his position was hidden from where shade was but if Mystical was to enter she would see him clear as day and if he tried to move in order to avoid that Shade would obviouly notice him now with his attention turned at the door. He could do nothing but wait and hope Mystical wouldn't enter the classroom.

Mystical Flow listened to Shade as she spoke about work.  Work?  What could the poor filly mean?  Mystical hoped she didn't mean what Mystical thought she meant.

Mystical Flow gently pushed the door open.  "Work?" she echoed.

[Undyne 1,483]

That's it... Sorrow couldn't handle anymore of being watched and possibly stalked. She needed to be alone. So, she moved out of the cafeteria and over towards the main entrance, before gulping. She opened up the door, being greeted by a harsh, frosty wind before stepping outside and closing the door, up on the small porch.

 

Already, she moved to a corner where there would've been no physical sight of her, unless someone strained themselves trying to look out the window.

 

She gathered a small bit of snow that had covered the porch and formed it into a tiny little ball. And she just tossed it up in the air, catching it as it fell back into her hooves. And she would repeat this over and over...

shade was still curled up in a little ball shivering and crying. "iv worked hard enough. i dont want to do anymore, the work is painful enough." she mumbled with a whining tone. she was thinking about the extra work she had to do in the sewers that the colts would force her to do.

But as it turned out lady luck abandoned him when he needed her the most. As Mystical opened the door he stared right at her hoping there was the littliest of chances that she would somehow miss him. It wasn't  possible but he hoped.

 

*Why me. What I am supposed to say. What is she going to ask ? Should I maybe just play cool and casually leave the romm ? No, no chance she will let me off that easily celestia I am screwed and this is my first day here.* Lionheart frantically made a chain of thoughts in him mind awaiting the outcome.

Mystical's face fell.  She didn't even bother to raise the corners of her lips back up into a smile.  "W-who made you wor-" Mystical Flow started before noticing the young colt hiding under a desk.  Mystical immediately focused back on Shade.  "-work..." she finished, making a tiny gesture at the colt to leave, hoping that Shade might not notice.

She'd have to talk to the colt later, as well as talk to Chamois.

Today was full.

shade sniffed, "i lived in manehatten almost all my life... in the sewers, we would work as thieves and we where each given jobs... i was good at what i did... too good, and being one of the only fillies there and not being tough... the colts forced me to do extra work for them... and if i didnt do it... they... they would.........." shade explained but had to stop because she started crying again. she just didnt want to think about it... she was too week and not tough enough to fight... it was a whole different story at the hive... and she really didnt want to get into that.

Lionheart got the get out signal and felt quite glad about it but the truth was he couldn't really go anywhere without getting noticed, She was right infront of the door and Shade was looking at her.

 

He did a negative signal and  whispered "I can't really move and you are kind of blocking the only way out." His voice was loud enough for Mystical to hear if she concetrated and silent enought ot be covered from Shades crying so she couldn't

Mystical's ear twitched as the young colt spoke.  Mystical Flow very slowly went towards Shade and away from the door.  She sat beside Shade so that if Shade looked at her, she would be facing away from the door.  This could give the colt a way out if he played it right.

Mystical somehow managed to keep focused on both of these things and had listened closely to Shade.  "That's illegal," Mystical Flow said.  "They can't do that to you.  And I promise you that nothing like that will ever happen here," Mystical Flow said, her voice determined.

Chamois Vine threw open the main door of the orphanage and trotted outside, trotting off of the porch and right into the snow.  There, she fell to her stomach and rolled onto her back.  She proceeded to moan in frustration.

Sorrow looked up from her snowball tossing, while the ball was in midair, and landed right in the middle of her head. At this point, she would probably start her ways of trying not to cry, but something looked a bit off... Wasn't this Chamois? She at least remembered the name from class, but she's never spoken with her. Or really anyone in this orphanage.

 

But it did seem extremely weird that she just dived into the snow like that... She slowly got up and trotted off the porch, into the blanket of snow covering the ground and sat next to her, expecting for something to happen to her.

And there it was she made the perfect moment for him as she got closer to shade he used that moment to move out silently without Shade realising. 

 

He was finally out but one thing was certain. This wasn't the end of this ordeal. He would sure have to answer for the events but for now he felt a tad bit safer.

 

All he had to do now was find the filly named Vine but how was he supposed to do that ? This place wasn't exactly small and she had long now left this place so following was unlikely. That he pondered as he reached the 1st floors window only to be amazed once again. There she was lying outside in the snow. That was unbelievable. *I dare say my luck hasn't abandoned me yet as I though hehe* He thought enjoying the convinience of the way events played.

 

Going down the stairs he reached for the main door, opened it and walked outside. To his diismay the filly from behind the table was there so talking about the changeling girl was out of the question. *I am starting to think this is a mocking luck cycle. Door open to shade, Get caught by returning mare. Escape and find suspect #2, unaware filly with her.* He thought to himself as he approached the two fillies.

 

"Hey" He casually said completely forgetting the fact that they never met, talked or introduced themselves before.
