open The Ponyville Tavern

There once was the town of Ponyville, filled with an assortment of multicolored equines...

 

And in that town, there was a tavern where these ponies could blow off steam or just enjoy a nice drink. The tavern, the Headless Horse, is temporarily run by a wolf named Seth Eclipse. After a rough drunken fight, he took the job until the bar keeper recovers.

 

"Well, another day, another drunk." Seth muttered to himself as he opened the tavern for the days work. He took his position behind the bar, grabbing the first of a few mugs that still needed to be cleaned from last night's... party.

Volt was fling back home from the Ponyville dam... it was another hard and boring day.,, first a generator blow up, then he had to change half the valves of a depresurating room

 

"damn it i'm an engineer why are they so damn cheap to not assume more ponies Celestia damn it!!! I work more then a bucking mud pony!"

 

he was almost above Ponyville

 

"and now another sad and lonely evening... better go to the Headless to take a drink... maybe  i can meet some of my fellows"

 

he landed in front of a squallid tavern and then, after a long breath he opened the door

 

"good evening Seth... a shot of Applejack Daniel please..."

Grabbing a bottle off the back shelf, Seth pored the dark orange liquid into the newly cleaned glass. "A quiet evening, but good all the same." Sliding the glass down, Seth grabbed the next uncleaned glass and took a seat across from Volts. "You seem more down than usual. Long day at the dam?"

Volt first sipped the alchool slowly, like to taste if there were poisons or drugs... he them emptied the glass with only one drop, he then anged the glass over the counter

 

"don't bucking talk me about that... i work with a pair of bucking idiots who can't tell the difference from a key to their hoof... why the hell i studied to get my degree??? i could just buy it... working like an idiot for a miserable pay.. bah.. i miss the old times at the Cloudsdale Weather Corporation.."

 

Volt paused a second looking at the roof of the place

 

"... it looks like a tornado entered here.. another.. party.. i suppose...for how long i must see your face over here?" Jocked Volt

Scribblegroove had just spent the day making some music, chilling a bit and drawing at his sisters house in ponyville. He got a bit bored of it though. ""guess i'll go and see if there is anything going on at the headless horse. Wouldn't be much though. The ponyville bars are nothing like the ones in canterlot."" He busted in the door softly playing 'another pony bites the dust' with his special musical magic talent (see backstory). He saw 2 ponies talking at the bar. "good day gentlemen. Isn't it... A GOOD day... Mine was at least. I'll have a hay-cola with rum, easy on the cola, don't spare the rum." He smiled at volt. "Why the long face buddy? Always look at the bright side of life èh?"

Volt looked at the new pony... he lookes at his cutie mark

 

"oh great.. a musician... i needed it... please sing me "the number of the beast" of the Iron ponies i need it...sorry... just kidding... i'm really tired..."

he then dropped thre bits over the counter and walked toward the pony to shake his hoof

 

"the name is Volt.. Doctor Electron Volt.. an yes... always smiling at the bright side... you really are a musician? i own the record shop over the ponyville street.. while not working at the Celestia damned dam... sorry for the word-game"

Seth ducked from the attack, looking at the impact on the counter. One of the bottles of his favorite bottles of wolven rums was smashed to pieces. Turing back to his counterpart, Seth muttered,

 

"Volts, sometimes I wonder why I even let you drink here. About the mess, blame it on a drunken griffin and a stubborn mule."

 

Seeing the newcomer enter, Seth grabbed his order. "I wouldn't tempt him if I were you."

[Doc. Volt 2,561]

@@arkman575,

 

Volt turned to look at the counter

 

"oh shut up old wolf... you are more cheap than Celestia... i spend so much bits in this tank than in everything else... i sometimes ask my self why i drink here... maybe your horrible face helps me to forget how much my life's suck right now... i should thank you for this"

Scribblegroove laughed. "Come now fellas, easy on the talk here. We've all got our problems..." Scribblegroove looked at the wold. "We've got the barkeeper who can't keep his bar... Clean" and then he looked at volt "and the genius engineer that can't even find a proper job! Fun thing really. It's usually the other way around. Usually it's the artist that fails" scribblegroove grinned ""that should bring up some fun conversations..."" he thought.

[arkman575 312]

'It's high time a message Celestia how much I could get fined for eating a pony. It might be worth it...' Seth thought to himself handing over the glass to the new attendee.

 

 

"Sorry about his attitude, he gets cranky when he hasn't had his drink. What's your name again? I haven't seen you here since I took over." Seth said, placing the drink.

 

"By the way, it was because of you that I'm even working here." He commented back to the doctor.

Volt looked at Seth

 

"so we have a deal! i made you work here, you make me happy with your face!

 

 

Volt then launched an evil stare to the new pony

 

"...you must be now here.... don't you?"

 

"seth, offer him a beer... with a bootle.. i might need it later... Dutch beer if possible..."

 

he then looked again at the brown pony

"about the job, mister 'happy artist', maybe not everypony can do what they want.. maybe they have contracts and projects to end... i have my own lab at the dam, i work here to have the freedom of nopony around my hooves and free electricity, so happy now? got your daily dose of my own bucking buisness?"

he then paused for a second counting the bootles over the counter, then without turning he continued

"what you do to surive? i mean.. an.. artist... herw at ponyville... why aren't you at canterlot?"

"Scribblegroove. I am a muscisian, artist and mage from canterlot. I don't live here, so that might be why. I was here to visit my sister over the weekend, but i decided to stay a while longer. She is working at the rainbow factory at the moment, so that is why I came here." Scribblegroove sipped at his drink. It tasted awful in comparision to the stuff you get at the canterlot bar. He tried to not let the wolf know, but he made a tiny choking noise, and his facial expression probably showed his disgust. "Sorry, I didn't swallow that right" he said to mask his disgust, and not to offend the barkeeper. "So whats your name?"

[Doc. Volt 2,561]

@@Scribblegroove,

 

Volt jumped at hearing the Rainbow Factory name (look at backstory)

 

"r...rainbow factory? you.. you mean the Cloudsdale Weather Corporation!"

 

Volt jumped down from the seat and started to walk around the tavern

 

"your sister... what's her name? Is her an engineer? Do.... do you know what level she works?"

 

(thinking)

"this freaking pony knows something.... damn it.. i must discover how MUCH he knows"

[arkman575 312]

Seth turned to Volt.

"You drank all my dutch last week! I have ordered more, but the griffin from the party was supposed to deliver it. She drank it all in half an hour." Seth said, grabbing a half full bottle. He slid it over to Scribblegroove. Seth noticed the chocking.

 

 "On the house for his attitude. You must be from maneha- no Canterlot. Am I right?" Seth said, her recognized the sent of a Canterlot noble. "Name's Eclipse. Seth Eclipse. Royal diplomat... and bar tender..." Seth looked at the ground in shame.

[Scribblegroove 565]

(((to clarify, the post above is directed to seth, but volt ninja'd me... Also i am on my phone so i can't edit my post. sorry for the double)))

 

Before the wolf could tell his name Scribblegroove reacted to what volt said "As i said, i am at my sisters' at the moment. No need to grump all over me, it's just ironical that everyone always told me that if i were to become an artist i would never make it in life, yet here we are. It amuses me" scribblegroove grinned again. ""he is heating up, boy i was right to come here for my amusement"" he thought.

Connor was tired being the most average pony in ponyville takes its toll on a pony,everyday the same old thing.

 

wake up late for work next to a random mare,go to work late,get moaned at for being late,punch boss in the face for moaning about him being late,get fired for punching boss in the face,leave work and go get drunk somewhere,lose consciousness,rinse and repeat

 

Connor limped into the headless horse he had hurt his left forehoof caving his bosses head in but it had been worth it his face priceless,but now it was time to get wasted charm style as he limped to the bar he saw the barkeep talking to some other drunks uhh I mean patrons,he went and sat down at the bar.

 

"Hey barkeep do me a favour and pour me three double shots of vodka here's the bits"

 

Connor opened a pouch and took out nine bits and left them on the side and then put his head down on the bar and sighed.

@@Scribblegroove, @@arkman575,@,

Volt looked at the wolf

"yes yes sad story... a diplomat who now owns an hole in a forgotten town... poor dog..."

 

then he turned to the musician

 

"i don't care about you... tell me about your sister! how is she supposed to work here??? i got fired from here!!!! ME! THE BEST ELECTRONICAL ENGINEER IN ALL EQUESTRIA!"

 

he then grabbed the glass of the brown pony and trowed it to the door, almost hitting the new comer

 

"oh shit.... wow.. too many new ugly faces around this place tonight"

[arkman575 312]

Seth ignored the comment from Volt. It was because of loud mouth drunks that he was in this mess of a bar. He walked over to the new customer and collected the bits, placing them below the counter.

 

"Three bubbles for the paying pony." He replied, grabbing the vodka bottle and the shot glasses. 

 

Turing to the volt, "Do you mind not trowing every piece of glass that's in this place?"

 

Filling the glasses, he paced the three in front of the pony. "I'll grab some nuts." He turned and walked to far end of the bar and took a bool of cashews in his mouth and placed it in front of the pony.

@@arkman575,

 

Volt looked at Seth

 

"EHI! you never offered me nuts you cheap bastard! bah.. wolves... and for the glass it's not my fault.. it was hanging over there..."

Volt jumped over a broken seat away from the counter

 

"god how much i am tired.. i need to sleep but i don't want to sleep.. aww"

 

he rubbed his hooves against his eyes before jumping on again

 

"so! i am bored as hell and i have no sweetie mares waiting me at home... how about some poker?"

[Scribblegroove 565]

Scribblegroove laughed "The best engineer in all of equestria!" He copied him. "Right, if you were to get fired from a WEATHER corporation, you certainly arent the best engineer in all of equestria..." Scribblegroove grabbed the beer that seth put on the table for him and took a sip, nearly chocking again and putting it down. I am not telling you anything about my sisters job. I don't even really know what she does. She says it's 'way too classified and important to tell loose lipped stallions like you' , like i can't keep a secret..."

 

"Honestly seth, what the hell is up with your drinks man? Did you scoop them up from a river or something?" Scribblegroove used his magic to make a 'badum-tss' sound and laughed. "You guys are fun, i sure as, hell will be coming back tomorrow! I have to go, now though, i think my sister is home. See you all later!" And he walked out of the bar.

 

(((its gettimg late and my phone is about to run out of battery, i have to go... I did love it though )))

Volt listened carefully to the pony.. he bited his lips, then he opened his italian's stiletto switchblade

 

"i dare you to say that again Punk... i simply dare you"

 

he started to walk slowly toward the musician

 

"maybe you don't know how it works here fancy pants... but i'm sure i can show you... "

[arkman575 312]

Seth was tired of his job here.

 

"You never asked for nuts" He yelled at the pony.

 

As the music pony left, Seth cursed under his breath. "Plot hole."

 

How had it that he, a royal diplomat, stuck here at a low class bar. He sat at the stool, cleaning another glass as he pondered his thoughts.

[Scribblegroove 565]

"Buck off, i'm leaving already..." He said before exiting the tavern. "i hope your attitude is better tomorrow!" ""mine sure wont be"" he thought to himself. He then started playing 'the groove' (((irl by rodney franklin, check it))) that he created himself and headed for his siters house...

 

(((i really am leaving now. Cya tomorrow)))

Connor took one of the shots and drank it and turned to the barkeeper.

 

"Hay thanks man I'm charm by the way pleasure to meet you and thanks for the nuts vodka really leaves a foul after taste so I'm gonna need them"

 

Connor grabbed his second shot and drank it and took a hoof full of nuts and ate them and turned back to the barkeep a faint smile on his face.

 

"so does everypony who comes here act like that"

 

he points to volt while he grabs his last shot and downs it quickly and screws his face up afterwards.

@,

 

"I act like the buck i want to douches that piss me off... you like wodka too much and you speak in a weird manner.. where areyou from friend?"

 

Volt said looking at the brown pony exiting, he then closed hos switchblade and sat near connor

 

"i hate this town everyday more.... bah not the right night for me.."

 

Volt was pissed off like a spring, going from a side to another side

 

"bah i'll guess i'll just sleep here for tonight if you don't mind Seth.."

 

he jumped above some empty barrells with an "xxx" label over them

 

"yawn.. goodnight everypony"

 

he opened her kfnide again and closed his eyes
