private A vacation in Paris!

[Charcoal Embers 169]

((OOC: Sorry I took so long. My dog ran away in the rain and I had to hunt him down.))

"I don't know what you like, so I wouldn't know what to pick." Jack continued to think if what both him an Charcoal could do. It was a hard topic but Jack finally said "Why don't we familiarize ourselves with Paris by taking a stroll?"

"I guess that would be a good start." Charcoal said. "It actually probably would have been a good idea to do a little research on Paris before taking a vacation to it. But honestly the line where stuff I don't like and stuff I like is very thin. There isn't very much that I really don't like doing."

"That's always good. I'm also easy to impress. So we'll go great together. I wonder what's our hotel gonna be like? Hopefully it'll be better than what Appleloosa has. It's so dusty, dust rabbits don't live there." Jack smiled. "Sorry about using confusing similes.

"Even if I had the option to live there I don't think I would. High temperatures and black fur don't go well together." Charcoal said. "Well if it is Paris I would think that it would not be that bad if you consider how may ponies live there and how may ponies visit."

"I understand how you feel. If I stand too long in the sun my mane and tail starts to burn. Not literally, but it feels like it. It's torture. Worst part of Appleloosa. And you'd be surprised how many people come to visit monthly. Not many, they'd only come for the great apple pies. Nothing wrong with that though."

"Meh, apple pies are good but I prefer lemon pie." Charcoal said. "I love sour food more than anything else ever. Except maybe Mexicolt food, but even then it is really close." Charcoal said, starting to droll a little at the thought of it. "And if you can't even stand the heat for very long I would be roasting by just being close to it."

"Ah! Mexicolt!" Jack screamed out loud "Los temales, chicharrones, y frutas asados son extra genial!." Jack quieted down a bit "Y las nenas de Mexicolt son muy fina." Jack cleared his throat "Sorry about that. Mexicoltan is a very fun language. That's what happens when you grow up in Appleloosa.

"It's alright, I have no problem with it. I just can't speak it." Charcoal confessed. "It is the food I love, learning another language is too hard for me to do. I work better with diagrams or blueprints, just a sheet of paper or somepony trying to teach me is not the way I learn."

"Entonces, eres... Sorry. So you're a visual learner. It's easier for you to learn with pictures?" Jack asked. "I have a question. How was school for you? Was it easy for you? I think it was for you. Did you get good grades? Where the kids nice to you? What is school like?"

Glacier gave a sigh of relief when she heard the end of travel was in sight. 'Finally! This Dog Ears is as fun to interact with as a potato. I'm still taking up his offer on teaching me to be 'normal'. It'll be great to see his face when he's wrong.'

 

​She had been fidgeting for the trip as the boredom of the monotony of the trip almost drove Glacier to insanity. Well, deeper insanity than she was currently in. "So then," ​she said to Dog Ears. "Are you still up for trying to teach me to be a boring, run-of-the-mill pony? I'm up to see you fail." Glacier kept a rather patronising smile is she voiced her thoughts.[/color]

"Entonces, eres... Sorry. So you're a visual learner. It's easier for you to learn with pictures?" Jack asked. "I have a question. How was school for you? Was it easy for you? I think it was for you. Did you get good grades? Where the kids nice to you? What is school like?"

"School was... tolerable." Charcoal said. "Since I wasn't able to do the most basic flight training a lot of the other fillies and colts made fun of me. But since I did my best to stay on the sidelines I wasn't noticed a lot and was able to make it through. My grades were average at best."

"Well that is okay. I think we can debunk the rainbow factory. I have enough proof to say that it's not real. But if it turns out that it's real, I'm awesome." Jack joked. Jack looked out the plane window "We should be landing soon. I wonder what is taking so long?"

"Really, what would that proof be?" Charcoal asked, genuinely curious about this proof that Jack has. "It would be nice to know this so that maybe, just maybe, I can get all those ponies that are either afraid of me, or ridicule me because of that stupid rumor."

"Hm? Proof? Ah. Yes, the proof." Jack got ready to explain "You. That's right. You. You say that you graduated flight school with a degree of basic flight maneuvers and tactics, right? According those who say that the rainbow factory is real say that flight school will only those who have a degree higher than basic. If any kid can't pass the test to get a higher degree. They'll be failed and taken to the factory to... you know. But you got through flight school with a basic degree, and you're here right before my eyes."

"No actually. I passed school, I wasn't even able to get past the first lesson in flight school, flying. That is why I was made fun of a lot." Charcoal said, a little sad now. "School was a different story, I passed that but only barely. I'm not a very smart pony." Charcoal said.

"Oh. Well you couldn't pass the first lesson in flight school. Still my point remains. You are the proof that the rainbow factory isn't real. Also, you don't have a lot of color to give. Might as well just cut off your hair, eh? That's not funny. Sorry. How do you make stuff? Don't you need to be good at math?"

"You have to know math." Charcoal said. "I can do basic math yes, but stuff like trigonometry or algorithms I'm terrible at. But yes to build you need to get everything to a specific length and angle things just right so that it doesn't collapse or make one part more susceptible to water than another."

"I see." Jack said "You'd have a lot of work in Appleloosa. There's always someone who needs something for another reason. The bar there needs some stools and a table. There was a drunk bar fight before I left." Jack slowly shook his head "How much work do you usually do in Ponyville?"

"Honestly, a decent amour. Almost all of my income comes from making and fixing weapons for the guards. Take that away and I would go bankrupt pretty quickly." Charcoal explained. "I do get some money from making furniture for ponies but it isn't much since there isn't a lot of violence in Ponyville. Except maybe at the club but they have metal tables and chairs."

"A club? I've never been to a club before. I'd it nice? How're the drinks? Is the music good? No violence except in the club, eh? Wow. This town sounds so good and yet I'm surprised more ponies aren't living there. Why do you think that is? It seems illogical." Jack was asking so much , he'd thought he had too many questions.

"The only time I have ever been to the club is when I delivered their metal tables and chairs. Though from what I did see it was pretty nice." Charcoal said. "And more ponies probably don't come because you can't get rich living in Ponyville. Unlike places like places like Baltimare or Hoofington there aren't really any high paying jobs. There are jobs that allow you to be able to live there but none of them enough to get you rich."

"Well, I don't need to be rich. I'm quite happy being financially stable, or lack thereof. I'm too afraid that I'd become greedy. It doesn't sit well in my stomach. I also fear that ponies will like me for my money and not my personality. Heh. As is if I could be rich though."

"That is how I like it as well. Plus I don't particularly like the big and loud cites like Manehatin." Charcoal said. "I probably could get rich if I decided to put in the effort and move to a bigger city. But I don't want to so I can't do it." Charcoal said with a smile.

"That's a wise way to think. It shows that you're able to be satisfied. Which works in every situation. As you know." Jack smiled. "It means you get a lot of things, but is that bad? Not for me." Jack shrugged "Is there anything else that's fun to do in Ponyville? Like a... I don't know... Arcade?"

"Hmmm." Charcoal had to think for a moment to try and remember if there was an arcade. "Well it isn't exactly an arcade but there is a small part of the park that has a few arcade games for ponies to play anytime they like. It is little hard on your bits but even I head down there every once and a while."

Crystal noticed quill staring from the corner of her eye and she smiled. "Nothing has changed really. I still live in my room that I have had." The thing made another noise and she shushed it again. "Tell me. You are interested in what is in this bag are you not?"

"Well, yes, I was curious." Quill nodded. How could one not want to know about a strange hissing sound coming from the bag of the pony sitting next to him?

 

He then heard an announcement. He fastened his seatbelt as it told him to do, The plane started to go lower, and would land soon. His excitement increased again as he thought about Paris and how it was going to be like.
