shades shivering eased a bit, she looked up at mystical, shade knew that being a thief was illegal, but its how she grew up. there was no free food, there was nothing that she would get if she didnt steal it. she really hoped that she would be worked here. "you sure?" she said.

...Again. It happens again. Even the one time that she was curious about something, somepony else always wanted to be near her. On sight of the new pony, Sorrow gulped once and started dashing away from him and Chamois, before trippig and falling into a nearby snow bank, to the point where she was swallowed within the snow and not seen by either of them.

Mystical Flow didn't think that the filly would want to be forced to work, and wouldn't have asked her to work anyway.  Mystical Flow nodded at Shade and placed a gentle hoof onto the filly's back.  "I'm sure."

Chamois looked up at the filly.  She had seen the filly a few times before, so she knew that she had been around a while.  She didn't know her name though.  Chamois opened her mouth to speak, annoyed.

She was interrupted by another pony.  Chamois raised her head to see another pony who she didn't know at all but seemed slightly familiar.  She must have seen him somewhere in the orphanage earlier today.  His greeting sent the other filly trotting away and falling into a snow bank.

Chamois took a few moments to react, surprised.  Finally, Chamois got up and ran to where the filly fell into the snow, ignoring the newcomer.

"Hey!  You okay?!" Chamois called, looking around the snow for the filly.  The filly seemed to have been completely swallowed by the snow and Chamois couldn't see her anyway.

After a few seconds of struggling, Sorrow popped out, her entire head covered up in the snow, and her magenta eyes showing off throughout the white snow. She shooked her head a bit to get most of the snow off, which she managed to do, but seeing as there was the other pony around, she wouldn't even think twice about talking with Chamois...

 

...Actually, she wasn't thinking about talking at all. The snow bank seemed to be pretty dang comfortable, too.

((I'm going to be away until the 28th, so I'm just making Sunset and Symphony fall asleep. I'm fine if you disturb them, but you'll be waiting for a bit if you do. Feather Gem, I'll bring Broken in soon to meet the shared social worker.))

After some time, Sunset's tears ran dry. She continued to tremble and sob, but eventually fell asleep. The day's events had been exhausting.

 

Symphony was getting scared from the voices and things she was seeing, and annoyed from being ignored, so she trotted off awkwardly, still holding a forehoof to her ear. She found the lobby and went upstairs to explore. Soon, she found a room with several beds. Tired, she cantered over to one and crawled under the covers. The voices had finally settled to a whisper, and within moments she was sound asleep.

 

((Could be the colts' room or the fillies' room. She didn't check, and I want it to be open for somepony else to decide,))

shade rolled over and moaned, she didnt believe mystical's words, but she have a reason why not to believe her. so she just said, "if you say so... i hope i dont... i just work too much and get beaten too much... thats why i left... i hope i dont half to leave here... iv had to do it twice... and im too tired to keep leaving places..." she said quietly...

 

(uhg... writers block is paining me... it took me an hr to type this post up...)

Chamois stared down at the filly in the snow for a moment.  She raised an eyebrow at her.  "Uh..."

Chamois turned to glare at the colt who had scared the filly, blaming him for the fillies silence.

 

@@Doppelrac,

 

So she's one of the foals who doesn't want to get adopted, Mystical realized.  She knew quite a few foals like this at the orphanage.  Some of them threw tantrums and refused to go with their new family, some ran away from meeting potential families, and some down right sabotaged meeting new families, like Chamois Vine.

And there was nothing Mystical could do about it. 

"No pony will force you to leave," Mystical Flow said.  She frowned.  The filly seemed quite grown up.  She decided to tell her something she didn't tell most of the foals.  "Your life is in your own hooves now."

This sometimes helped, and sometimes didn't.  Mystical usually avoided it.  Mystical wasn't even sure if it would help the filly, but she spoke the truth.  Their life wasn't in her hooves.  Their life was in their own because despite what Mystical might say...by the end of the day, they were alone.

Caramel corn followed quietly behind the social worker handling her case. She looked up at the orphanage, which seemed ominous to her. As they entered the building, the social worker signed the papers, checked caramel in and promptly left without a word. Caramel was alone as she looked around the room, sniffling quietly. "Hello? Anypony there?" She called out, looking around the room with wide eyes

[Lost Profile 644]

shade blinked, and looked at her hooves, she though about what they looked like when in her changeling forum. she didnt understand what that ment. "i dont see how my life is in my hooves... unless your talking about fire. somepony did say that fire is life." she said referring to the fire that surrounded changelings when they transform.

Lionheart stood there blinking dumbfounded.  "Really ? Really ? Really ? Oh come on it been twice already I am not intimidating am I ?" He asked his voice betraying that he was quite bothered by the fact that twice she jumped as she saw him.

 

"I just came here. I am just trying to meet the ponies and the like around this place." He said truthfully but adding and the like into his phrase, emphasizing a little bit on the words and the like hoping vine might catch his drift.

@@Feather Gem, @,

Sorrow would have been the pony to talk with others. But unfortunately, she wasn't. She was more of the type to have an accident at being just a little scared, and hiding between some other places...

 

Sorrow slowly and nonchalantly began to sink back down into the snow bank.

[Grand_Finale 529]

Caramel looked around the empty room. Deciding it was just best to make herself comfortable, she walked further into the house, carrying her saddlebags along with her. "Hellooo?" she called out again. She was sure she heard voices coming from somewhere, but she couldnt pinpoint where

Mystical blinked.  Sweet Celestia, what have they taught this poor child.  "What could they have possibly meant about fire?" she said uneasily.  Her composure had finally broken as for now.

If the colt was trying to make a point, Chamois wasn't getting it.  She glanced at the filly in the snow.  "She just doesn't know you," Chamois said to the colt.

Chamois reached a hoof towards the filly to help her up.  "Come on, you'll freeze down there.  Get back inside."

Sorrow poked out one of her eyes through some parts of the snow, a terrified magenta glimmering within her pupils. It wasn't that she was scared of the new pony. Or that she was scared of Chamois either. She actually felt like a friend towards her, even though that she would NEVER show a happy mood towards anypony in her life...

 

But, she refused to budge out from her small spot within the snow bank. She hated groups... 

[Grand_Finale 529]

Caramel sighed and poked her head outside, noticing a few ponies standing in the banks. She trotted over, blowing a scraggly strand of hair out of her face. "Hi, I dont mean to bother you guys, but I was just lookng for where I should go. I'm uhh, new here" she said, kicking the snow as she talked

"But....but isn't that reaction a bit extreme ?"He asked quite worried in fact cause he didn't quite like being intimidating. He also noticed that Chamois didn't quite get his meaning but he dicided to let it go until this was resolved.

 

As he was about to walk to Chamois and the filly hidden in the snow another one popped up from within. "1st floor to the right. There is a classroom there and the person in charge might still be there. Ask for Mystical flow." He answered her nicely.

[Grand_Finale 529]

Caramel sighed. "Oh... Um, thank you" she said quietly before walking back inside, trying towarm up her hooves. She knocked quietly at the classroom door before slipping into the room quietly. "Uh, is there a miss Flow here?" She asked, her purple eyes wide as she looked around the room

shade shrugged, "i dont know... but its not the kind of fire that holds life thats in my hooves... the only things that are in my hooves if not a stolen good... would be rope thats tieds me up, or fire... i dont have life in my hooves... and i dont have control of my life... not anymore." she said.

Chamois raised a shoulder in a shrug.  "Well," she said, raising an eyebrow at the colt after he directed another filly to the classroom, in answer to his previous question.  "Welcome to the orphanage," she said very curtly.

Chamois put her hoof down, giving up for now on getting the filly out of the snow.

Mystical Flow turned to another filly who had just entered the room.  "Oh!  Yes, that would be me?  What's wrong, dear?" she asked, only focusing have her attention on the filly, somewhat flustered.

"But I will never force any of you to do anything you don't wish to do.  Even if you wished to leave the orphanage, in the end, I couldn't stop you if you tried..." Mystical said to Shade.  She had never before met such a filly like Shade.

"Oh, well I just got dropped off here, I just wanted to make sure the owner if this place knew I was here" she mumbled, picking at the floor. "Do you have a place where I can put my saddlebags?" Caramel asked, not wanting to inconvenience the kind pony. "I've been carrying them around for awhile now..."

shade looked at herself for some a little bit. she wished she could forget the bad things that happened to her... but to her, it seemed like only bad things have happened to her. "if i didnt do the jobs... they would do things to me... i never want to live in the streets or in a sewer again... it just... so... bad." she said shivering.
