"Well obviously it was worth it. I want to get to know you Spades. I want to be your friend, and of course there is still more to it." Charcoal said. "I might need some time to think but there is more to your story, I just need to find the missing pages. But that can wait, why don't you tell me some things you like besides gambling."

"..." Spades stood there silent. "Uhm...I sometimes liked to plant flowers as a really young filly, but I quit because I just never got into it after I was 11." Spades remembered when she wasn't a miserable drunk "I then wen too into gambling and drinking." Spades had just remembered this, she never told Anypony stuff like this, so it was different for Spades, she wasn't used to it one bit.

"... and that's pretty much it." Jack finished once again. Dr.Psych was deep in thought "Yes, yes! I know what's wrong!' Jack sat up once again "Really? What is it?" Jack was so excited that he was going to finally know what was wrong with him. "You, boy. Have schizophrenia." the whole room was quiet. "I have what?" Jack asked the doctor "Oh it's basically an illness that gives you visual or auditory hallucinations, an addiction that's hard to control, and some suicidal thoughts." Jack was terrified "Well. I don't want it anymore. Can you do something about it?" Jack was face to face with the doctor Be assertive! "I want an option!" the doctor backed away from Jack "I'm running experimental brain surgery that may help." both the doctor and Jack laughed "Nice one." "Thank you my dear boy." "Tell me more Doc!" Dr.Psych pushed his glasses up "We need volunteers for us to work on their hypothalamus but-" Jack cut off what Dr.Psych was going to say "Say no more! I'll do it!"

Charcoal thought for a moment. Alright, what do we have? I got a pony that pretty much only gambles and drinks. So how can I help fix that? Show her a good time... not in bed though. Charcoal looked outside, mid-afternoon, perfect. "Alright Spades I've decided to bring you with me to show you that life isn't just gambling and drinking. I want to show you a fun time, even if it kills me."

Crystal got the number for her room and looked at quill oddly. "Is something making you uneasy Quill?" Crystal was concerned, for no other reason than she had a snake around her neck and if it got nervous it wouldn't end well. And she didn't want to start her holiday with her friend explaining why her pet snake choked her to death.

"Oh, nothing much." He turned his attention away from her and got his room number. He walked into the elevator and looked out at her, waiting for her to come in. He held the open button. It would be rude to not, although he didn't care much about manners, he observed basic things for friends.

Crystal was relieved to hear that. He seemed to be telling the truth so there was no worry about. She thanked him for keeping the door open and went up. "So what do you think the rooms will be like? I personally think I should expect a 1940's style of furniture.

Spades looked up and nods "ok, I will come with you. You seem to care." Spades was a bit nervous, do I really want to do something like this? then she stands up "so do we leave now or what?" Spades asks ready to go out the door with Charcoal. Spades was wondering if she'd have fun or if this would be just unbearable.

"We are going right now." Charcoal says as she grabs ber bags. "I have a few places in mind we could stop at that I remember passing before." Charcoal grabs Spades hoof and practically drags her out the door to begin. "So first I was thinking we could go and vet you prettied up a little. Because, no offence, but you look like you just got out of bed."

"1940s? Maybe, but I would guess a zen type." He didn't know why, but that was what he thought about Paris. The elevator kept going up until its doors opened on the twelfth floor, and Quill walked out. "I'll find out soon." He didn't know which Crystal's room was or what floor it was at, but he might meet up with her later, if he could find her. Now he went to his room to see the furniture.

Quill was a tad disappointed. she was a floor above quill, which wasn't too far. But still. "Shall I see you after we get acquainted into our rooms?" She asked, keeping the elevator door open so she could actually talk to him. "I can still think of things to do afterwards so it is no worry."

"Okay then, I'll meet you downstairs in two hours?" That would be enough time to take a bath and unpack his things. Quill did enjoy Crystal's company. She was fun to be with, once you got past her sophisticated talk. He'd been already getting used to the snake around her neck. It hadn't injured anypony yet, so he no longer felt any need to be scared. He stood there for a little while so that Crystal could tell him whether that time was okay.

[Jack Spades 162]

Dr.Psych pushed up his glasses "Are you sure you want to do this?" Jack looked to the doctor "This isn't about me. This is about the others in my life." Jack put his arms on the doctor's shoulders "There's a beautiful mare who's waiting for me. She worries about me. She doesn't deserve that. I don't need or want her to worry about me." Dr.Psych gently batted Jack's arms off him. "If we do the surgery there's a chance that we might damage your hypothalamus and make it so you'll won't feel emotions. You'd have Spockholm syndrome." Jack backed away from the doctor. He didn't know what to do. Should he do this and not let Charcoal know? Or should he get her perspective on the subject? Ask what she thinks about this. Jack was surprised when his mind actually helped him with a decision "I'll have to ask someone who I fully trust."

Crystal nodded. "That sound appropriate. I shall see you in two hours." She was about to close the doors when she remembered a question. "oh! Tell me, does the ponytail suit me much?" she figured that keeping the elevator delayed for this longs was a bad idea so sh stepped out to let it close.

Quill examined her hair.  It was a little on the long side, going down her back. Looked good anyway, though. It made her look a little energetic and cheerful. He admired it for a minute before answering. "Yep," he answered. "Looks great." He walked away to his own room now, to unpack.

Charcoal grabs Spades hoof and practically drags her out the door to begin. "So first I was thinking we could go and vet you prettied up a little. Because, no offence, but you look like you just got out of bed."

Spades laughed a bit "I kinda did" she shrugged. "I'll clean myself up" she leaves the room and goes into her room. Spades enters the bathroom, showers and washes her face. She leaves the shower and coambs her hear then dried off. Spades goes back into Charcoal's room and says "I am ready!" She puts her beret on with a smile.

Charcoal glares at her for a second. She notices one hair, just one, that was out of place. It probably wouldn't be noticed by anypony except her. So she reaches up and smooths it down so it is just like the rest. "Ok let's--" She cuts herself off when she sees that same hair stick back up. Her eye twitches a bit when it does.

[Sunbro 4 Lyfe 939]

Quill examined her hair.  It was a little on the long side, going down her back. Looked good anyway, though. It made her look a little energetic and cheerful. He admired it for a minute before answering. "Yep," he answered. "Looks great." He walked away to his own room now, to unpack.

"great? Just great?" Crystal asked. "I was expecting a better adjective than great you know. You are much too absurd for my tastes!" She turned around and trotted into the elevator in a pouty manner even though she was just messing around. "Leaving now" she called out, pressing the button to go up.

Quill wasn't too creative with descriptions unless it was poetry. He stood stunned for a moment before realizing that Crystal was joking. He chuckled a little and continued going to his hotel room, just a few doors away. Using the key he was given at the lobby, he opened the  wooden door.

[Sunbro 4 Lyfe 939]

Crystal Opened the door to her only to be stunned. The hotel was as she guessed. At least from her half. And it was big too, very big. She had plenty of space. She put her bags down and went off to sort her hair out, it was way too to be in a pony tail and she couldn't poof i back up because then she wouldn't be able to put a hat on. She sighed and let the snake slither off from around her neck to go and have a shower. It was halfway through did something hit her. She was out of hair dye, and considering hers couldn't be washed, that meant her hair would go green. It had grown through so it wouldn't break apart, but she didn't want to be going around with shiny green hair. Ponies would begin to suspect. Yet she had no choice. She got out of the shower and dried herself off before getting out a pair of scissors and cutting her hair herself, simply so she could bundle it to a shorter ponytail and put a hat on.

[Nurin Insyirah 12]

Quill looked around. Crystal was right about the furniture; it was all in a 1940's style. A sofa was in the middle, and the bed in another part of the room, with the toilet located conveniently near in case he had to pee in the middle of the night. He pulled things out of his luggage and started to unpack. He put his toothbrush and toothpaste in the toilet. They were already provided, but he preferred to bring his own. Next he put his quills and paper, which were for writing poetry or other things that might need them, on the table.

[Sunbro 4 Lyfe 939]

Crystal stared disappointingly at the shoddily done haircut she game herself. Her hair wasn't as long, which was good. It just went past the neck instead of touching the floor. But it was uneven and ragged. And now that it was so short it looked like it was breaking apart, short holes appearing in her hair like a tattered flag. She pulled it back and banded it into a makeshift ponytail before feeding her snake and leaving the room. Just under 10 minutes to spare.

[Nurin Insyirah 12]

Quill walked into his bathroom and did exactly what it was there for - he took a quick bath. This took just about 5 minutes. When he was done, he looked up at the clock. 15 minutes until he met Crystal. He walked out of his room early, and went to the elevator to go downstairs.

When crystal noticed Quill, she quickle put on her hat to cover up as much green hair as she could, though she could do nothing about the tail. She was getting unusually nervous about her appearence. Her hair was green and filled with holes though so what would you expect. "H-hey. You remembered."

[Nurin Insyirah 12]

Quill found Crystal just after he exited the elevator. She was wearing a hat that covered most of her mane. Quill was a little puzzled about that, but he ignored it so as to not seem like a busybody (Busypony?). "Of course I remembered," he answered. "What exactly are we gonna do again?"

Crystal relaxed a bit. At least he wasn't asking about the colour of her mane. "We're going to... I am not sure yet. I was not thinking about it. I say that I get a haircut and then we go for a stroll in a park. Perhaps see a movie? I think that would be interesting. Of course if you are OK with that..."

((I guess my application was accepted, but I haven't got a hundred percent confirmation on that fact. So I apologize if I was too fast))

 

Storm had been bursting with joy when she learned she had won. But had to delay the flight due to work not giving her permission to leave for the first few days.

 

Now, there she was. Wanting to relax from her job and looking at the building that stood at the address she had gotten together with the plain ticket. Sweet... Fiddling out her documents where the reservation info was written down she moved over to the reception where a colt stood.

 

As soon as the colt at the reception had verified the information he gave her the key to her room. Storm found her way to the elevator where two ponies were already standing. She pressed the button to call the elevator, considering how she would find her group once she had left her luggage in her room.
