open The Bolt Academies

[Alicorn Fluttershy 152]

QuickRose ran as fast as she could towards the green house.

"hey slow down! i'm gonna fall off!" exclaimed David

QuickRose either didn't hear him or didn't want to hear him. she continued running full speed tears streaming out behind her. David fell off and landed on the grass. she flung open the greenhouse door, ran to the giant Baobab tree with the hollow big enough for a small pony to fit in, and climbed inside. a river of tears flowed from the tree, down the path and out the greenhouse door.

Gambit chuckled. "Not everypony would give such long and dramatic descriptions of their Cutie Marks, then there's what I say to ponies when they're feelin' down and about to give up. I tell 'em 'Believe in me who believes in you'. Sounds cheesy, I know, but that's what I mean by crazy."

 

Cassidy seemed either easily spooked or Gambit was being a little too blunt. Probably Gambit being too blunt. He'd have to make a note to be more careful of what he said. Of course, Gambit being Gambit, he'd lose the note in two minutes.

(For the roleplay, I'm decreasing Bicerin's age to 24 to fit the RP.)

 

When Bicerin arrived at the Bolt Academy, he kind of expected...more ponies. There was not a single pony in the hallway, which surprised him. Strange. He had heard that a lot of ponies were excited by the addition of the Thunder Bolts and Lightning Bolts; it wasn't every day that a pony from a coffee shop manage to get recommended into the Thunder Bolts. Maybe it was because his relatives' (from his mom's side) military background. After all, he did remember that his grandfather and uncle were in the Royal Equestrian Army. Or probably it was secretly his dad enlisting him. 

 

Never mind about that – Bicerin tried some of the doors in the B-wing hallway. Most of them were locked – not surprising, since the lights were off. Looking down the dark and deserted hallway, he was reminded of a movie where everypony in the world was possibly dead from a virus...though he shook that off as mere imagination. Still, it was way too quiet.

 

Finally, he found the conference room, which was apparently the only door that was lit and unlocked, yet similar to the other rooms, it had no pony inside of it. Bicerin slowly opened the door, causing a creaking sound to echo over the hallway. Peeking in, he shrugged. The staff ponies won't mind it if I "trespass" for a while unnoticed...

 

Indeed, the chairs were cleared. Looks like some ponies were here. A good deal of the seats were moved. On the table were a stack of papers which were of some interest. Upon closed inspection, Bicerin realized that they were daily schedules. Quickly flipping through the paper stack, he found his schedule with all his information on him. He was also assigned a dormitory number: Room 313. Below was the description: "Rank: Private Basic, Thunderbolt. Yet to receive basic training. Absent on enrollment day."

 

"Shoot," Bicerin muttered, taking his information papers. He had arrived late at the academy...in the first day! Nice way to put down a first impression. Having little time for idling about, he checked his schedule. Currently, it was the lunch break. Suddenly, he heard his stomach grumble. Well, that's the cue for me to go to the cafeteria...if I can find it. Bicerin looked at his schedule again, flipping to the other side, noticing a map. 

 

"That's convenient," Bicerin murmured to himself, trotting while staring at his schedule papers. Turn on E Wing, enter the main hall and into the cafeteria... he thought while picking up his luggage. It didn't feel very heavy to him despite being filled nearly to the top – he didn't really put any mind to it, since he was used to his earth pony "power" acting up.

On the way to find a good lunch, Bicerin noticed a green unicorn on the intersection to the greenhouse. He smiled; this was the first pony he had seen on this campus. "Hey," he shouted out to the stallion. "What are you doing out here?"

Sunset hooves slowly approached the academy looking very tired ,with a saddle bag on his back and a map of equestria poking out .Sunset looked up at the building and felt hope , a feeling he hadn't felt in a long time .Sunset entered the academy to see an pony ,Sunset suddenly became very shy .It was only then did he realize that he was late .

 

Sunset went round the entire academy searching for the conference room he was instructed to go to before he came ,it took him quite a while going into the cafeteria multiple times , he realized it was lunch .Trying to avoid all the instructors he eventually got there ,he checked the room to make sure the instructors weren't inside .

 

Sunset entered the room to see some paper , he quickly read through some of the paper till he found his "room 313"he read out load ,while in the room he took of his bag and grabbed an apple he packed.Sunset put the papers in his saddle bag and left ,he decided he would go to his dorm room first .

 

Sunset entered his dorm to find it empty ,he unpacked his bag ,inside was a map of equestria ,which he put on the wall with a faint circle around manehatten ,some pencils and an unnamed book .Sunset looked out the window for a moment before leaving and going to the cafeteria to try and get some lunch.

 

Sunset entered the cafeteria ,this time examining the room further ,it put a smile on Sunset's face ,he quickly went over to get some food .Sunset took some food then looked around for a place to sit ,looking back and seeing his blank flank he had a look of disappointment on his face ,he felt out of place here ,he never was good at making friends

This is escalating quickly. At this rate, you'll have to create a list for all your friends! Cassidy thought, happily yet pathetically. "Having lunch," he replied. "Oh, my name is Cassidy," he added, and blushed at his supposedly effeminate name. "What's yours?"

Since QuickRose started crying and ran off somewhere where Drill probably wouldn't find her, he felt alone. "Since I don't have anything else to do I'll just talk to Cassidy and Gambit again". Drill Horn thought to himself. However, when he was walking in line to get food, he saw the pony in front of him looking at their flank. "A blank flank?" He thought to himself. Drill expected everypony at the academy to have cutie marks. It seemed like the pony in front of him was looking for a seat. This was a chance of Drill to get another new friend at the academy. "The more the merrier!" Drill thought. Drill Horn tapped the pony in front of him and said "Hey, you wanna sit together?"

"really? sure!"sunset quickly replied before exploding with happiness, Sunset hadn't felt this happy since he was a colt, Sunset then realized how embarrassing this must look and quickly tried to stop smiling so much .Sunset quickly examined the unicorn "so, where are we going to sit?" asked Sunset while looking round the room

David knew that most ponies would not open the door for a plant. he also knew it was about lunch time and if no  one came to comfort QuickRose she would miss it. since he also knew that he could walk with his octopus-like roots he decided to go find somepony, a teacher, the principal,mabey even that nice unicorn she had talked to earlyer named Drill Horn. he started scuttleing through the yard, down the hall and into the mess hall.he spotted Drill Horn talking to a pony with no cutiemark.

"Excuse me sir, but i have a problem. err, well QuickRose does. when she gets into these crying fits she won't come out unless someone comforts her. and i fell off of her outside the greenhouse.it is imperative we get to her or she'll starve herself!"

As soon as the stallion introduced his name, Bicerin could not help be stifle a laugh. He assumed that he was laughing because of how ridiculous the name sounded. Also, judging by the structure of the name, it sounded more feminine than masculine.

 

But quickly, he stopped, reverting back to his initial state of mind. "...Sorry. My name's Bicerin. If you can tell, it sounds more Northern than Central Equestrian, so you should get a good guess of where I live." he introduced, glancing around the intersection and staring back at his map. "Anyway...where's the cafeteria. Damn map is too confusing to follow, though I have to admit, the facility is pretty gigantic."

When Bicerin stifled a laugh and apologised, Cassidy sighed, and said, "No, don't be. I'm about as manly as a fluffy kitten," said Cassidy, as memories of childhood bullying starting flooding back into his head.

 

When Bicerin asked about the cafeteria, Cassidy replied, "The cafeteria? It's right here, buddy."

 

We both have unusual names. There's something in common.

Luckily there was an empty table right in front of Drill Horn and the other pony. "How about right here?" Drill Horn asked. Then a plant came out of nowhere and started moving towards him and asked him to comfort QuickRose. "YOU CAN MOVE!? How is this possible? Do you have legs?" Drill Horn continued asked dumb questions until he realized that that he's been babbling on for about 3 minutes. "Oh yeah, uh, where is she?" Drill Horn turned to the new pony he met. "Hey, is it ok if my other friend comes and sits with us? She got kinda sad and maybe it would also be more comforting if she had 2 ponies talking to her".

Sunset put his food on his table just before he saw the plant .He was very interested in the plant from the moment he saw the plant trying to figure out what it was and how it was doing all that, looking back at Drill Horn he smiled "sure" Sunset replied "well as long as she is accepting of me" Sunset looked back at his flank with a look of disappointment in himself .Sunset looked at the plant again, puzzled "I've traveled across of equestria since i was a colt and i have never seen a plant like this, anyway where is this friend?"Sunset asked with a smile back on his face

((I just realized I really did mess up a bit, but I'll try to make loose ends fit.))

 

Bicerin smiled. "Well, you don't need to feel too down. A lot of ponies say I drink too much caffeine and bounce off the walls. They're probably right to some extent. Hey, you don't mind if I call you Cas for short, right?" he asked, opening up the cafeteria door.

 

Meanwhile, Bicerin took a short look at the other stallion who appeared to be gorging in a lot of food. "I have quite an appetite, too," Bicerin mentioned to Cas. "Others think it's a bit surprising I haven't packed the weight yet."

Cassidy threw his arms up in the air and yelled, "Sure, why not?! Cas it is!"

 

He then noticed ponies staring at him. He sheepishy turned to Bicerin. "Oh, I-I'm so sorry for that outburst. It's just that I was thinking about when kids at school would make fun of me for that name, and... I guess your suggestion sort of put me in that mindset..."

 

He noticed Bicerin was looking to Gambit. "Oh, I just met him too!"

 

He then imagined shortenings of his friends' names. Riley could be Rye, Clementia could be Clem, and Anala...

 

He scrunched up his face at the realisation of what could be done to Anala's name just by removing a certain letter...

While Cassidy and his new friend had been talking, Gambit had reduced the amount of food in front of him by half...in around 15 seconds. He paused a moment with a goofy grin on his face when he realized that the others were looking at him. Feeling that it would be rude not to introduce himself, he decided to do it in his usual fashion.

 

"Yo. Assured Gambit, formerly of the Canterlot Guard and a pony paragon of masculinity!" He said in the hammiest tone he could manage. As if ponies needed any more reasons to believe there was something wrong in Gambit's head. Immediately after, his expression turned to a sheepish grin. "Hehe, sorry. I got a bit anxious and I tend to overdo things."

Bicerin nearly jumped backwards when Cas suddenly shouted. It felt like he had hit something that felt more personal, though he had to admit, he always tried to dig in into other ponies' secrets just because they were interesting to know...even though this wasn't intentional. When Cas calmed down, Bicerin casually yet warily replied, "Well, I made more enemies than friends when I was young. Mostly I was a hyper little loudmouth, which kind of got into some ponies' nerves.

 

The pony who was rapidly swallowing his entire tray's worth of grub now introduced himself to Bicerin. Apparently, Cas already knew him beforehand. "Umm...hello. The name's Bicerin. I'm a coffee shop owner, if you didn't know from the Northern Equestrian jargon in my name. Anyways, nice to meet -"

 

Suddenly, Bicerin's stomach grumbled a bit. "It looks like my body is telling me that I need some food to reinvigorate myself. Any of you have any chocolate bars with you? Dark chocolate, ideally, though any kind could do."

"Funny," said Cas. "I have a friend who's sort of a 'hyper little loudmouth', but he's pretty popular."

 

When Bicerin asked for chocolate, Cas remembered something. He reached out into his bag and pulled out a bar of dark chocolate with a ribbon wrapped around it. He broke a column off and gave it to Bicerin. "Here. This was a gift from my friend, but I'd just keep putting off eating it and it'll melt."

David scuttled in front of Drill Horn as fast as he could towards the greenhouse "this way! Quickly!" He exclaimed. He got to the door and stopped waiting impatiently for him to open the door so they could find QuickRose. When he finally opened the door he scuttled in and started searching desperately for his friend.

Drill Horn entered the green house with his new friend. David kept on screaming for Quickrose. "QuickRose where are you?!" Drill Horn said. "By the way, I never got your name". Drill said to the pony he met. Drill Horn looked inside a tree. "Hey, I found her. He pulled QuickRose out of there and fell backwards. When he got back up, Drill said "Hi!" to QuickRose.

Gambit chuckled. "They used to call me a hyper loudmouth, too. That was a few years ago, back in Basic Training. Looks like we've all got something in common." He said, and it was kind of true. After all, not every pony has an apparent inability to stop running their mouths off every time they meet somepony new. Or at least, not to the extent Gambit seems to do.
