Roulette started a slow walk, toting his carriage behind him, with his new patron in it. "If pony has problem with pony," he began, "Fight is held at night. Luna is fair judge." He trotted down a hill in the road, instinctively going towards the ice cream shoppe, "No foals or ponies are harmed, unless involved." he stopped as a few fillies ran past, nearly startling him, "A very fair fight, yes." he nodded, "Nothing but hooves, only Luna watches over."

 

After a few moments, he looked back at the Pegasus, "My apology, I do not know your name. I am Roulette."

"Roulette eh? I'm Pelate." I look at my saddle bags and look for my water bottle. I start drinking "ah...you know I don't really belong here, I never wanted to be here." I look at my cutie mark "I used to do art for the residents of Ponyville, but then I had to quit sense I moved here because I needed a better job. And not too long ago I've been fired. Well there's a brief summary of me, I don't want to repeat it so don't ask..." I take another sip of water then I toss the bottle on the sidewalk.

The pony lumbered on, only pausing to let a few more ponies cross in front of him. When Pelate threw the bottle, he frowned, and picked it up as he walked past it, dropping it in a trash can when once came around.

 

"Art?" he nodded, "A lovely trade. Very creative mind, yes?" He sighed, "I pull and drive for ponies. My sister, she heads the train team." Rulette chuckled, "Very big, us northerners. Conductor was surprised that she was a mare applying for job."

"No, not anymore, I can barely hold a pencil anymore, all of my artistic ability is locked in the back of my head. Uhh hey. Can you drop me off at my apartment it's just down there, the eight story glass building." I say pointing to the right.

At the nearest glass building, it looked nice but I could barely afford it anymore, I was in desperate need of a new job, or else I would be homeless by the end of he month.

if it means anything, you're a very pretty Griffon

 

 

Sabel couldn't help but blush at that, quickly turning her head so he wouldn't see under the disguise of watching the ponies under them as they slowly flew along.  It just wouldn't do for him to start thinking her some innocent blushing cub.  "Eh, whatever...  It's not like I came to Manehattan looking for a date anyways.  Hey, what's going on down there?"

 

She gestures down below them, the fight between Glacier and Symphony catching her attention.  It seemed to be over in just a blink, but watching it made her grin.  "Now THAT'S exciting stuff!  Does that happen often here in the city?"  She continued to watch the scene below them while waiting for his reply, trying to watch where the involved ponies had gone.

"time to move, if i dont get that pack for the day, i might start ticking" he got up, grabbed his small saddle bag with 5 bits in it for the smokes and also took his keys.

he went through the door as he locked it behind him, Eddie started walking torwards the local kiosk in the city.

when he got there he was greeted by the clerk behind the kiosk booth "hey welcome how may i..." Eddie interupted him and said "Winston blue cigarettes" Eddie opened his saddle bag to get the 5 bits as the clerk asked "are you 18?" Eddie quickly looked at her and realized it wasnt the same pony that sold Eddie smokes "where is JacKknife?" Eddie asked as he got a responce "he is sick, and wont be working for a week, why? im sorry if you dont have 18 then i cant sell you tabacco or alcohol products"

Eddie didnt take no for an awnser, he needed his daily dose of nicotine "look here, you have to sell me them smokes or else i might start chewing the table" he got a responce "im sorry..." Eddie again interupted her as he punched the wall of the kiosk out of anger as he walked away from it a little "maybe i can ask someone to buy me some" he said to himself whispering

Sonny had finally finished his most recent tour, and was heading to visit the city he'd heard so much about- Manehatten. He'd planned on playing shows there, but hadn't yet gotten the chance. Surely if he stayed a while, somepony would recognize him, and he'd sign some autographs, take pictures, etc... but oddly, this wasn't his first thought as he entered the city.

 

"Neighlie is staying here before her tour... isn't she? Oh Luna."

 

He stepped out of his carriage, tipped the drivers, and looked up at the imposing skyscraper where he would be staying. The Tan pony had an assistant grab his bags, and he headed up to the room he would be in.

 

Once he had settled down in the room, he opened the window and took sight of the view. What a view it was, the bustling streets below, the huge seascape to one side, the enormous constructs to the other.

 

"Alrighty, Skrill. Let's make this a nice stay, we don't need to think about Neighlie." As he finished his statement, he went to the fridge and cracked open a bottle of tequila. We can go mingle tomorrow, tonight it's just my mixer, this bottle, and me."

 

And then the producer began working on what would surely be his next hit.

"Eh, whatever...  It's not like I came to Manehattan looking for a date anyways.  Hey, what's going on down there?"

 

 

Percival looked down to see some ponies who looked like they were getting at eachothers throats.

 

 

 

"Now THAT'S exciting stuff!  Does that happen often here in the city?"

 

 

He chuckled, "Anywhere you look hard enough. Ponies are generally pretty at ease with eachother, even when they have disagreements, but sometimes you'll see a nice argument. And if you're lucky, it'll get a bit wild."

[UJn92kwC 108]

Acid looked around him...

 

"Was I here a second ago?"

 

He looked out in front and around him.

He saw some ponies talking, with a carriage being carried by a large stallion.

"I teleported you here, you know I love some fights!"

"Who are you!? Why are you with me!"

"You'll find out soon enough."

"WHY?!?!?!"

Acid realized he had said that out loud and he quickly put a hoof over his mouth and silently started to trot away.

Vincent was still quite enjoying his walk, occasionally stopping to give his wing a quick test, which always ended in him winceing. "Shit... I reeeeealy shouldn`t have done that..." he mumbled. He`d probrably have to take work off the next day, let it rest. He supposed he could miss a day of work, he had a decent collection of bits saved up, but it still bothered him. Griffins were suppose to be dependable! 

 

@, 

 

It was then he noticed a stallion, walking down the street looking... scared? Confused? He supposed that was the best way to describe it. He looked like a stallion confused by his own surroundings... or even himself. He walked over to him, looking at the shaken colt with concern "Hey, you alright? You don`t look so good...."

[Umbreon 569]

 

 

He chuckled, "Anywhere you look hard enough. Ponies are generally pretty at ease with eachother, even when they have disagreements, but sometimes you'll see a nice argument. And if you're lucky, it'll get a bit wild."

 

"Hehe, well that looked fairly wild...  I want to get a closer look!"  From their position in the sky Sabel had managed to watch where the ponies had gone after their fight, and she quickly dove down to land near the crystal pegasus on the nearby roof.  She assumed Percy was following, but didn't really wait for an answer.

 

@,

 

"Hey!  Those were some wicked moves back there, shiny.  Great show."  I've never seen a pony like her before...  Are there many like them in Manehattan?

[The Elusive Cinder 1,328]

'Huh, looks like every...' Her eyes shot up defensively at the voice addressing her. It was another of the Griffons from earlier: one of the couple - the female. Did she know Vincent? Doubtful - they hadn't spoken while she had been watching them...

 

"It's true, I'm amazing." She said, settling back into her most comfortable role: Sonnet. "A Griffon? Did you need something or did you just fly over to admire me?" She asked coolly: not with a hostile tone but just a slight edge.

 

It wasn't even intentional: she was getting better at staying herself but building up a fake personality for year after year - you start to forget who you are. The adrenalin still pumping in her blood kept her on edge just enough to keep up the paranoia.

@, 

 

Sabel couldn't help but laugh.  This pony was cocky - Sabellah liked that.  "The second one.  Your little bout with that unicorn was awesome!"  She tilted her head slightly, giving her a very 'bird of prey' look while she looked at the crystal pegasus.  "I've never seen a pony like you before.  Granted I haven't met too many ponies, but I never thought I'd see one as shiny as you are.  What's with that?"  

[The Elusive Cinder 1,328]

Symphony gave a brief, quiet laugh at the question: it wasn't the first time she had been asked but at least it was understandable why a Griffon might not know.

 

"Crystal pony. Not many of us live outside our cities." She shrugged with a smirk. "Unless you mean the light thing, that's just me."

 

There was enough sunlight up on the rooftop to pull off one of her more gaudy tricks: ruffling her feathers and briefly sending a small display of rainbow colours dancing between them. Remembering how confused Vincent had appeared at her greeting earlier, she offered a hoof to the newcomer, with a lot less confidence than she made out.

 

"Names Wind Sonnet, you're not from around here I guess?"

[Fender 1,284]

 

 

"Hehe, well that looked fairly wild...  I want to get a closer look!"

 

 

Percy followed, and laughed "Whatever you say." 

 

@, 

 

"Hello...interesting little argument back there..." He grinned, "I'm Percy." He smiled in a way that he hoped would seem good to greet her. "And...a Crystal Pony...I've never seen one of you before...for like...a year, I heard them talked about...but I've never seen any of you in Manehattan."

[RussianRoulette 2]

"Y-Yes, of course." He looked at the road and broke into a brisk trot, heading for the building he pointed to. Roulette was already tired, moreso upset by this hour. It seemed like he would go another night without dinner. Manehatten wasn't the best place for his work... He wondered if he should stop coming all together. "Art is not only canvas." He said optimistically, perking his ears, "Mind, too. You must be creative pony." He looked on, "Canvas will come back, in future."

"Woa-ho-ho, cool trick..."  With a wide grin Sabel stepped closer, her bracelets jingling as she reached out with a talon to clasp the pony's hoof.  "I'm Sabel, and yeah I just flew into town today.  Nice to meet ya, especially with the show first.  Awesome."

Sabel grinned a little wider as she heard Percy behind her.  Crystal ponies...  I wonder if they have something special other than being shiny?

'And there's the other one... Vengeful Celestia, how many of them are there?'

 

Maybe the cocky, almost-hostile attitude that was Sonnet might not have been idea for the situation after all: she was in character now though, no turning back. At least the female seemed to be agreeable with Sonnet: things could be going worse.

 

"Sonnet, I've not seen you around before. Either of you." She said, relieved that she tended to keep a low profile: some that that was surprisingly easy, when she wasn't being attacked or actually wanting to be seen...

 

She couldn't help but notice the silver bangles that the female wore - she had learned her lesson on trying to steal from a Griffon earlier in the day:

 

The lesson being that she needed more practise before she tried again. She made a mental note, in case she decided to play the game again later.

"..." I stay silent, I didn't know how to respond to that. I exit the carraige when we approach my apartmant. "Thanks for the ride I say looking at the ground, I walk away and sit at the entrance. I wanted to stay out side for a bit more.

*why do I even bother* I get tired and go to my apartment and lay down on my couch next to the big window *might as well enjoy my house when I have it, it goes away next week*

[Umbreon 569]

@, 

 

Sabel started to flap her wings idly so that she was floating just off the top of the roof.  It was completely unnecessary, but she was feeling restless after watching the short fight earlier.  "What a coincidence, I haven't seen you either."  She snickers at her own bad joke before continuing.  "I like your moves, Sonnet.  Want to hang with us for a while?"

 

She seems really relaxed for meeting a couple of griffons for the first time...  Maybe I'm just imagining things though...

[The Elusive Cinder 1,328]

'It would be a good chance to learn a little more about them. Of course, the main problem being...'

 

She raised a brow.

 

"Much as I'd love to..." The Pegasus opened her wing to reveal the blackened patch. "No guiding feathers: I'm grounded." She folded it away. "Permanently."

 

It had been a sore point for some time: she was used to it now but still occasionally still resented the loss of her flight. Thankfully, she was happier on the ground than in the air to begin with anyway.

@, 

 

She lands with a frown when Sonnet shows her damaged wing, feeling genuinely sorry for the pegasus.  "Oh man, that sucks!  I'm sorry, it'd drive me insane having an injury like that!"  She turns to look at Percy, tilting her head a little bit.

 

@, 

 

"We could walk, if that doesn't bother you...  What do ya think, Ace?"  She wasn't really sure why she felt like going out of her way to be able to spend some more time with this pegasus.  It was partially because she thought she was cool, of course, but...  It's gotta be that wing...  Not being able to fly would tear me apart, it has to suck.

Acid looked up to see who was talking to him.

"I uh..."

"Whats wrong Acid? Can't talk to anypony"

The voice in his head hissed

Acid put his two front hooves on the sides of his head.

"Nothing. It's--Just a headache...."

"NEVER call me a headache!"

Acid's headache turned from surges to a permanent migrain.

Acid fell unconconsoius.

"Dont get up now."

Echoed throughout his mind.

[TheLineTrotter 100]

"You sure, man?" Vincent asked, concern creeping into his voice. "You look kinda pale..." it was then that the colt before him collapsed to the ground, causeing Vincent to jump "Merciful Celestia!" he cried, using a pony saying from all his time living amount them. He wasn`t quite sure what to do. The nearest hospital as quite a ways away... but not seeing much choice, he used his talons to slung the stallion over his back, struglleing slightly from the wait as he headed towards the hospital. He must have seemed quite the sight: a griffon carrying an unconcious unicorn down the streets like a slab of meat... but he didn`t see many other options that didn`t involve leaveing him on the road.

I walk out onto my balcony with a coffee and just watch the town like a hawk. Watching ponies trotting around and talking to each other. I take a sip of my Coffee "ahh, how come Celestia never mentions the cruelty of anyplace outside of her palace?" I ask to myself "just seems so odd..." I take another sip out of the warm cup in my hooves. I just look at the streets waiting for something to happen, just so I can watch in entertainment, it's almost like a hobby. I had nothing better to do, if i were to do anything else to just get drunk for the hell of it, or get in a random fight in the alley ways. I knew those weren't good to me, so I just watch other ponies do what I think about doing to remind me I shouldn't do it, so I at least get something from sitting on a balcony practically doing nothing.

Glacier reached the centre of town and began her spiral out of it. Her eyes flitted around the streets as she trotted, taking in every piece of information she could and stitching it together to make an accurate cognitive map. 

 

'It seems to be mostly the outskirts that are full of alleyways. The centre of this city seems to be incredibly open. Seems to be mostly shops and businesses in the centre. The outskirts hold houses and alleys. There was also a few farms on the edge of the city do it seems food shouldn't be a problem. Wait, is that a griffin? It is! Yes!'

 

​Glacier had finished mapping the area and began to dash towards the griffin.

 

@@TheLineTrotter

 

Glacier slowed down when she reached the griffin. "Need a hand with that thing?" ​she asked, motioning towards the limp body of another pony that was being carried by the griffin.
