It was one of Manehattan's warmer days today. The streets were bustling, everypony was doing what they normally did around noon...

 

______________________________________________________________________

 

 

Percy wasn't doing what he normally did. He usually didn't have enough money to quit his job for awhile. Today though, he did. Frustrated with how long it took to get 'I quit.' through to his boss, he walked out of the small restaurant. "Morning shifts suck anyway..." He muttered as he walked down the street in no particular direction. He stopped for a moment to stretch his back, and his talons. "...does feel good not to be wearing that stupid uniform too." He grinned, and continued walking.

Neghlie had finally made it. After struggling for months to make a break outside of her home country, she'd finally made it to the "bright lights" of Manehattan with her newest album.

 

"It's absolutely gorgeous." She said to herself, staring down from a high rise building onto Central Park. "I need to keep a low key. No paparazzi, no gossip. I really miss Sonny sometimes but I need to focus on my career." Neghlie contemplated what she would do to keep herself busy before the first leg of her north eastern Equestria tour started.

Smiling at the stallion she had been speaking with for the past couple of minutes, eyes half lidded and breath slightly heavier than normal, Symphony big him a kind farewell with a promise to meet him at some fancy restaraunt or something later: of course, she would never show.

 

As she turned her back to him her features fell back into place and she flicked the ill-gotten pouch of bits from under her wing.

 

"Not... Even... Challenging." She smirked, folding her crystalline feathers around herself and hiding herself away as she moved into a shadier section of the street.

 

She didn't need the money - it was more for the fun of the game than anything. And the oaf had deserved to lose everything she had taken.

 

"Wish there was something actually worth my time though, a real challenge." She muttered under her breath.

Vincent moved down the road, taking slow, but purposeful steps. He glanced around at various stores and establishments, smelling the aroma of various soups and breads the ponies were enjoying. It of course, started a rumbleing in his own stomach. Vincent was normally flying around this time, making deliveries both around town, and to nearby cities. He use to take much longer, much farther trips, but a bad fight with a manticore had left his wing injured. He could fly just fine still, but flying for too long the Unicorn doctor had warned, would change that. He wasn`t actually suppose to be flying with them at all for a few weeks, but... well, he needed to pay the bills somehow. 

 

Vincent had grown up in the Griffon Kingdom. Not a bad place, not really great ethier, and when young had taken a job for a delivery service. He`d taken many trips, across the world, from Equestria, to the Blue Blood Isle, to Germaney, Prance, Saddle Arabia.... you name it, he`d flown there. Yet, he ended up leaving the Griffon empire years ago, settleing in Equestria. Why he chose Manehatten... he still wasn`t sure. Something drew him, he knew that.

 

Today was a day off, as no deliveries had been assigned to him, and he was heading to his favorite restaurant. It was a small establishment, most of it`s seats outside, but it was also his favorite place to go eat... well, because they served the best meat in all of Equestria as far as he was concerned! And it usually wasn`t too crowded... because most Ponies didn`t like going to a place that served 'meat'.

 

 Griffons were most carnivorous, being half eagle half lion, something most ponies didn`t approve of. During the early years, when Griffins first found equestria (already inhabited by the three kingdoms), that had been the first sign of bad blood... when the Griffon ambassador spotted a passing dear, tackled it and ripped it`s throat out. And then proceeded to offer some to the ponies. Not the best first impression. 

 

Luckily, since those thousands of years before, a synthetic meat had been made, and although many Griffins flat out refused to eat 'false meat', Vincent didn`t really mind. Heck, he lived in Equestria, where nowhere he knew of served meat, so it was preety good he didn`t mind. He took a seat outside and placed his order, a 'rabbit stew', made to taste like said mammal would have, and sat back and relaxed, enjoying a drink as he waited on his meal, his eyes scanning around the restaurant and passing ponies.

It was a quiet day for Sabel...  Though that probably had to do more with the fact that she was flying so fast that she couldn't hear anything other than the rush of the wind.  It was her first time visiting Manehattan and she was determined to see all of the city in one day, even if that meant seeing it as a blur!

 

"WHOOOOOHOOOOO!"  She was flying low, quite a bit lower than she should have been really, but it was fun watching the stunned look of the ponies as she blasted by overhead.  She reached out a talon to grab the edge of a building, quickly pulling around to kick off of the wall to change streets without losing too much speed.  "YEAH!"  

 

Admittedly this was a very terrible idea, but she didn't care.  She was having FUN!  It wasn't every day that she encountered an obstacle course quite like this, one that felt alive.  Streets, alleyways, ponies...  All together, it was a great training session.

The wind rushed right past Percival, and he saw a familiar looking creature fly around a corner, it took him no time to take flight. He was curious.

 

The other creature in flight was very, very fast, but Percy eventually managed to catch up. He hadn't flown this fast in awhile. When he did, he almost stopped in surprise. "A griffon?" He thought, almost out loud. "Hey! Slow down for a sec!" he smiled and waved while in flight, and in the moment when he wasn't paying attention, he got clotheslined...by a clothesline. He gasped for breath and slowly spiraled to the ground. A few coughs later, he got up and yelled at the closed building to his right. "Why do you insist on hanging your bloody laundry in the street?!" He sighed, hoping the other Griffon hadn't missed him.

[Umbreon 569]

@, 

 

Seeing the other griffon made her incredibly curious.  Sabel hadn't interacted with one of her own kind since leaving her nest.  She had just spread her wings out to come to a stop when the other griffon ran straight into a clothesline.  She couldn't help but let out a loud, inappropriate laugh at the sight, flying a slow spiral down to the ground to land behind the other creature.

 

"Hehe, smooth flying there, Ace.  You alright?"  Despite her mocking tone she walked over to the other griffon, holding out a talon to help him up.

[Fender 1,283]

 

 

"Hehe, smooth flying there, Ace.  You alright?"  Despite her mocking tone she walked over to the other griffon, holding out a talon to help him up.

 

 

He rolled his eyes, but accepted the help anyway. A small chuckle escaped his beak, still. "Yeah...so, a Griffon, huh?" He grinned, "It's been a few years since I've seen another one of us...and I definitely haven't seen you around Manehattan, so you must be new here. Welcome to the city!"

[Umbreon 569]

@, 

 

"Heh, yeah, I just flew in today.  I'll be honest, I didn't expect to see another you here, either.  Err, another griffon, I mean."  A sly grin split her beak as she brought one of her talons up to run it through her feathers.  "So, what's the deal with this place?  Fun to hang around?  I mean it has to be, if another griffon has been living around here...  Provided you're on the up and up.  You're cool, right?  Eh, sure you are, you're a griffon."  Sabel laughed, jumping into the air as her wings started to flap.  She hovered just above the ground in front of the other griffon before extending her talon again.  "My name's Sabellah, but call me Sabel.  If you call me Sabellah I'll have to sock ya."  She winks and grins with that last statement, though it's a little difficult to tell if she's joking or not...

He joined her in flight, for being around ponies for several years, it felt good to see one of his own kind again...and for a Griffon, she looked good. "Right, Sabel. So yeah, these tall buildings, dirty streets, usually drunk-at-night ponies...this is Manehattan." He grinned, "So, anything you wanna do?"

"Heck I don't know.  Admittedly my method of sight-seeing really didn't show me much of anything, hehehe.  What's fun around here?"  She flipped around in midair so that she looked like she was laying on her back, flying around in a circle in this manner while looking at the nearby buildings.  "Maybe some place to grab a bite to eat first?  I've been flying like, all morning.  Really, I don't think I stopped from the time I woke up until you flagged me down."  Sabel snickered again, remembering the sight of him flying into the clothesline.

"Sounds good. Hope you don't mind fake meat and a little bit of greens." He chuckled, "Also, I'm pretty sure it was me who was 'flagged down.' " 

 

He lead them to the cafe he was talking about. "Let's see what's on the menu today..." He chuckled, "Most likely not much, for us." He grinned.

[TheLineTrotter 100]

Vincent was enjoying the rabbit stew, considering what to get for his main dish now that he was finishing up his appetizer, when he noticed two Griffins flying down the street, converseing. He blinked in surprise... the Griffin population was basically nonexistant in Equestria, both visitors and residents, so seeing two was a rare sight in a city like Manehatten. He considered going to talk to them, but shrugged, supposeing he shouldn`t bother them. They were probrably out of towners, visiting Equestria... maybe delivery Griffions resting after a job even. So he decided just to order a 'steak', and relax on his day off. Maybe he`d take a flight around town later...not that it would probrably help his wing... 

[October Days 4]

October Days stumbled out of an alleyway, looking a bit dazed. Ever since she'd arrived in Manehatten she had terrible luck. First getting harassed by some guards about loitering outside the magic store for too long. I was 'window shopping'! If all the big city folk can do it, why can't I? she thought to herself bitterly. And now she was getting ready to sleep in a sketchy alleyway. Maybe if she hadn't spent all that money on that jacket... It was a nice jacket though. She shrugged to herself and continued down the road, her mind clearing up a little bit.

 

Two days in and already homeless? October needed a job. Badly.

Rhyme-Chime had been there for about a year now, and was doing well, her job at the book store brought bread to the table and her sister/Roomie paid rent, As her usual lunch break came, she stepped out to grab some salad, a notebook and pencil floating in the air in front as started to write.

 

"Cold sweat ran down the mares face, in absolute horror, the man she loved, in the shsrp teeth of a dragon." She wrote saying it aloud tp herself.

[dedacct6 2,591]

I exit my apartment building and take a deep breath, "casual day..." I grin and walk farther away from my home, I trot into the nearest Starbucks (no spoof needed) for a drink. Leaving the place I see a mare walk out of a 'dark alley' I trot towards her "hey what in the world were you doing in that alley?" I couldn't help but ask, the curiosity was killing me.

"I... Huh?" October looks up at the new pony stallion approaching her, a bit confused, "Alleyway?" she turns around and her eyes widen. "Oh, yeah! I was uh... Looking for a place to sleep later..." October nods slowly, giving the other pony an odd look. "Is there a uh... Problem? Or something?" October awkwardly taps the ground with her front left hoof.

@October Days

Rhyme had bought her salad and smiled picking a cucumber slice out of it before seeing A mare and smiled walking up, hoping to be a little late to work "Oh hello." She smiled. Putting the salads lid back on and put it in her book bag, as well as her writing material.

"looking for a place to sleep? You're homeless? ...well a lot of ponies here are...but sleeping in an alley way doesn't seem safe." I wanted to offer shelter but it would seem odd. I could at least help her though "uhm, could I do anything to help? I have a two story apartment home. I can let you use the guest room." I wanted to help, I didn't want to just leave her now that I'm talking to her.

Glacier growled as she entered the city of Manehatten. Strangers walking past shot filthy, disapproving looks at her and for good reason. For, you see, Glacier was not here on holiday or a day out. The iron ring around her horn showed she was her on rehabilitation. She was classed as mentally unstable after she was seen living in the Everfree as feral as the rest of the of the creatures there. Her visit to Manehatten was an attempt to help her become civil again.

 

'They're trying to change me. Trying to bend me to their idea of normality. They think I'll just go along? Never! I'm Glacier Shard and I live the life I want to live, not the life authorities want me to live.'

 

Whilst being back outside did make Glacier feel a small bit happier than being cooped up in an institution, her usual hate and disregard for authority still shinned through. Imagine if you had spent your whole life being shunned and screwed over by the powers that were meant to protect and improve your life. Would you feel like you could stay loyal to them?

 

 'At least they aren't following me. They've respected privacy for once. I suppose they had to if they were to get me to co-operate at anything. I'm still annoyed that I have to keep the restraint. Just because they saw me killing a minotaur means they feel they have the right to prevent me from using magic.'

 

With her usual and hate and mild relief from freedom running through her mind, Glacier entered the city and began to gallop towards the centre of Manehatten.

 

'I'll head to the center and learn the area from the middle outwards. I won't miss anything then.

  

 

A nice and chunky first post there.

A workhorse in the brilliant, clean streets of Manehatten was unheard of, almost frowned upon. Horseshoes clicked against the roads as the Stallion made his way through the crowd. It wasn't a wonder ponies would look at him oddly- he was quite outlandish, and quite big as well, that heavy black collar around his neck. Roulette heard a few fillies giggle at the sight of his short tail, offering a small smile to them as he passed by.

 

The heavyset pony lumbered on, chocolate eyes darting this way and that. He was going to pick up his carriage for the morning, safely tucked beside a flower shoppe. Manehatten wasn't the best place for his work, but it had been a while since he drove here. It was about time he picked up his slack.

 

The problems he had with big cities were not only with the roads, but with the ponies as well. He had pulled many a high-class Mare to whatever salon or spa they desired, only to get nothing in return. Not that he didn't mind free work, but these ponies had money or food to spare. It made his heart sick to think that the poorer families were the ones who offered him a dinner or an apple, while the rich couldn't even spare a drink.

 

 

 

With her usual and hate and mild relief from freedom running through her mind, Glacier entered the city and began to gallop towards the centre of Manehatten.

 

'I'll head to the center and learn the area from the middle outwards. I won't miss anything then.

  

 

Of course, there were some of the Manehatten usuals that were kind to him. Roulette was thinking of one Mare who always made sure to get him ice cream, When a ball of blue came barreling into him.

 

"Ah!" He staggered back for a step, not too badly offset by the blow. Roulette looked at the Mare(Glacier Shard) with a concerned frown, bending down to look at her. "Are you alright?" He asked softly, "My apology, please. I did not look." He perked his ears, tossing his head lightly, "In apology, a carriage ride, yes? Take you around the city?" Roulette smiled shyly, nodding to the white carriage he had been hooking up to, "Many sights to see, you know."

He lead them to the cafe he was talking about. "Let's see what's on the menu today..." He chuckled, "Most likely not much, for us." He grinned.

 

 

Sabel frowned at the menu's selection, shrugging and handing it to their waiter with an order of "Whatever's the least green-looking."  She looked back to the other griffon and grinned after she ordered.  "Ya know, I like these pony folk, but I don't know how they expect us to eat this junk..."  

 

Despite her opinion on the menu choices she couldn't help but smile as her food was brought out.  Instead of eating in any kind of civilized manner she clenched one of her talons into a fist, bringing it down on the edge of her plate.  As her dish launched into the air she reached out and snagged the 'meat' out of mid-air with her beak, tilting her head back and quickly downing the entire thing.  With a loud belch she laughed and grinned at her companion.  "Actually that wasn't too bad...  Thanks for the grub, uh...  Hey!  I have no idea what I'm supposed to call you.  Rude."  She snickered at the last part, well aware that she was in no position to call anyone else rude.

Percival chuckled, "Percy, sorry about that." He grew a sly grin, "Took somepo-, someone on a date before telling them my name..." Another chuckle, "Guess that's off of the bucket list." He rolled his eyes at his own comment. "Yeah...I've been living in Equestria way too long now. Three years, seems like forever. Hope you're staying awhile. I could use some of that sanity we Griffons have, around me." He laughed lightly.

[Umbreon 569]

@, 

 

Sabel laughed again, leaning back in her seat to prop her hind legs up on the table.  "Date!?  Well, that was fast.  First time I've seen a guy use a clothesline as a pick-up line though."  She laughed again.  "Anyways, I don't know how long I was planning on staying.  For a while at least, the city is huge.  No point in traveling if I don't actually look around at the places I go, right?"  With a smirk on her beak she flicked one of her wings at him.

Percival couldn't help but feel good being around one of his own kind again, especially one who was actually fun and didn't hate him. "Sure, I'll take you on more 'dates' around the city." He chuckled, "Hopefully with less clotheslining this time, though." He rubbed his head feathers. "Well, where to start? I just quit my job so I've finally got some time to explore, I guess." He groaned, "Y'know, I don't actually know much of this city either." He looked expectantly, "You fly fast, but I hope you're ready for the scenic tour?" He grinned. "Otherwise, if we run out of things to do or see, there's always chilling at my apartment to pass the time." "That sounds a bit over-inviting, doesn't it?" He shook the thought away, "That is, if you want to." He grinned defensively.
