The Town of Bridle Shores

http://i20.photobucket.com/albums/b244/Introbulus/PonyRPbanner1.png

Far to the west of Canterlot, further still even from Ponyville, a quiet little town is quickly springing up near a large lake.

This is Bridle Shores, situated along a large lake with a natural beach. Not far from town is Mt. Trotia, with a waterfall that feeds into the lake. The town is surrounded by a lush forest which the ponies of the town both use and nurture with delicate balance, there are some ponies that call the forest home as well.

A small business district has started to grow, with a Bakery, Dress shop, Grill, Greenhouse, Dojo, Saw mill, Snow Cone Stand, Dance Academy, and even a Soda Bar popping up for the citizens of the town. They are also experimenting with new technology such as Floppy Disk’s computer shack or the Doctor's friendship harnessing lab. In addition, there's a Farm and a Wizard's Tower on the outskirts of the town.

Much of the forest is quiet and peaceful, but deeper within the forest lurks creatures far more dangerous…

The pie didn't bother her. Even getting called 'little miss detective' didn't bother her.

"If you hadn't offered, maybe I would have. But first, answer my question."

The simple fact of the matter was, she refused to play his game. This was her game, now.

"No, no, no, you wanted your parlor scene, only reason you blasted that particular message over the sound system to round up the others, let's share with everypony," He replied in his haughty tone.

"Why do I have this incredible feeling of deja vu that I done this before?" Silverpine said, rubbing his head gingerly. "Wait, who the hay are you?" Then he looked as his hoof which had a trace of smeared ink. His eyes widened.

"Gear! You did not just draw a mustache on me."

"I choose not to comment until I have a lawyer present," Gear said closing her eyes with a small smirk.

"I choose not to comment until I have a lawyer present," Gear said closing her eyes with a small smirk.

"Oh you incorrigable mare." Silverpine facehoofed. A red handkerchief appeared next to him and fell on his hoof. He began wiping the ink from his face. "Why the hay am I in your dreams anyway?"

"I don't even think this is my dream....it lacks a harem...I was told I could invite anypony to whatever this is." She nuzzled him with a romantic undertone. "So naturally I thought of you, sweetstuff...to torment some more even in a dream." The last part of that...obviously in a different tone, haha.

"No, no, no, you wanted your parlor scene, only reason you blasted that particular message over the sound system to round up the others, let's share with everypony," He replied in his haughty tone.

"The mood's already broken quite a bit, and since we're having this pause... I'm taking advantage of it. After all, you've got to have something up your sleeve to be so cocky despite the fact that your mark is all over that letter."

This was both true and false, in the end. That latter was the biggest tip-off that she had, the one piece of physical evidence that linked Lemon to the crime in any way. But probably not in the way he thought she meant.

The said, she still gathered up the papers carefully and began pushing them towards the door.

"So... even in dreams I can't run away from you," Silverpine said with resignation. His lips curled up in a smile when he felt the nuzzle. "I suppose I might as well make the best of it." He returned the nuzzle fondly.

The said, she still gathered up the papers carefully and began pushing them towards the door.

So the three wound up back at the tent where the others were at, Lemon being a big ol' time waster when it was inevitable Mystery was going to get her parlor scene. The other four were still there. Peach looked bored and cocked a brow seeing her brother in cuffs. Maestro had made sure Cerise didn't try to escape. Lefty...well he was Lefty wearing his emotions on his sleeve looking all upset and worried at this whole scenario. Cherise was there staring at the ground but then perked her head up when she saw Lemon. He simply gave her a cold look as she returned to looking at the ground.

"Alright little miss detective let's get this sideshow going, let's have all the truth pour out in which in the end I'll be back to usual business," He commented. "Ask your questions and let's see if you can really see the truth."

"So... even in dreams I can't run away from you," Silverpine said with resignation. His lips curled up in a smile when he felt the nuzzle. "I suppose I might as well make the best of it." He returned the nuzzle fondly.

"Nope," She nuzzled him some more and then turned to look at Berathor. "Soo...is there an actual point to this?...Who are you? Am here to do something?....Or can I get back to scheming on stealing pony kisses? Haha."

Deme

2011-06-25, 01:09 PM

"You'd like that, wouldn't you? Well, unfortunately...That's not going to happen. I'm hoping for Let me tell you all a story... The story starts off with two stallions and a dream. It starts off with a family."

She waved a hoof at the assembled crowd, withholding her gaze from Lemon.

"And it ends with a different sort of family. I can't say whether the first family was good or not, only that a point came when it fell apart. Everyone here knows when that was. And, for the most part, if anyone noticed, they kept it to themselves. 'I'm just staying because it was his dream,' 'I'm sure they're just rumors,' 'No one would ha' really hurt anyone here. They're good people.' But this was true, too: the dream was falling apart. And it'll never really be put back together again, I can tell you that."

And maybe because she had a dream that had fallen apart, was falling, she spared a moment for pity. The fact of the matter was, there wasn't any way to get it back to the way things were. If it could be done better, it'd take outside help. There was no way someone like Lemon could run a carnival, given the rights. And Ferias, who apparently broke like a twig, couldn't run it either, but from a different direction.

"But somepony thought they could give it a whirl. Better, even, without those incompotent old hangers-on. So he got together what I think someponies here thought of as a little family. The young, the dreamers, the ambitious. But to that pony, they were just another step, and he'd hang them out to dry. Of course, that's why it'll never be business as usual here, among other reasons."

She waved a hoof particularly at Cerise before taking a little swig from her flask. She was waiting to see how things went from there.

"...hugs...and breakfast... and masculinity..."

Blaze gave a small frown, and decided to go another route. He grabbed a feather, and brought it in clamped in his mouth. He then began to tickle Scarlet on her nose.

"Nnn... ah!"

Blaze did a little pose as if he was facing a camera.
"Success!"
He then turns back to Scarlet.
"Dad left you a note."
He dropped the note next to her. It read: 'The force called. I'll be back in 1-3 days. -Zach.'
At the bottom in a totally different handwriting was: 'P.S., you should totally let Blazing Hooves drive a mecha.'
"He also made breakfast. Don't worry about me, I can look after myself."

She raises an eyebrow.
"...and you didn't alter the note at all, of course?"

Blaze looked away.
"Noooooo, what would give you that idea?"
He gives a nervous chuckle.
"Good one, Scarlet. Like I would alter the note."

TheAmishPirate

2011-06-25, 01:41 PM

Nope. I don't. If I were Berathor I would have my lists to tell me who you are or If I was Moro I would have memorised everything about you the moment you stepped through the ten mile radius. But I am neither. Would you like a drink? Jormongs voice had returned to normal and he was as before. A small table appeared with a alcoholic beverage not known to ponies called Whiskey. He quickly drank up a glass of it.

Sandy frowned. There were just too many things that didn't make sense here, and he wasn't sure what to make of any of it. There was the possibility that this was all an elaborate lie, meant to get him to lower his guard. Or it could be that this was an entirely new breed of creature, and that they really didn't mean him harm. There just wasn't enough reliable information to go off of. His gut told him to just boot Jormong out and be done with it, but so long as the Nightmare was willing to talk, there wasn't much harm in playing along for now.

Plus, he was really hoping Jormong was telling the truth.

"No thanks. I think you'll understand if I say I don't trust you Jormong. But unless you try to pull something, I suppose we can talk about this." He sat down, horn still glowing, but only faintly. "Now, what is all this about again? I wouldn't mind some particulars about this "joined dream" you mentioned."

She smirks slightly. "It's different handwriting."

She smirks slightly. "It's different handwriting."
"There is a very good explanation for that, and I will tell you it if you can CATCH ME!"
He then takes off out of the bedroom and into the hall, grabbing a pancake on his way and eating it quickly.

"Bravo on the anecdote, ever look into being an orator little miss detective?" Lemon scoffed commenting sarcastically.

"Oh do shut-up Lemon..." Peach rolled her eyes and glanced at her brother. Lemon shot her a dirty look in return. Cherise appeared to have been affected the most with the story, her body language indicating so when Moonlight Mystery was nearing the end of the story. She kept her eyes downcasted, staring at her hoofcuffed hooves. Maestro who was near-by still couldn't help but put a comforting hoof despite her being a confessor to crimes.

"You can't hope to catch the mighty Blazing Hooves!"

Blaze starts getting tired after 10 minutes, he usually used his wings. He slowed down enough so Scarlet could catch him.

Berathor

Yes. Yes there is a reason for this nonsense. You and everyone you want are invited for a joined dream. Also. You aren't exactly being given the option of turning it down and I am really sorry about that part. But the higher ups want you to meet a certain someone.

Jormong

Well a few friends of mine are thinking of starting a revolution and they need a reason to gather up and plot. You and a dozen or so others are going to be the reason. Jormong looked at the pony and took another sip. He then continued. Also I can't stop but notice your strange reaction to me and your distrust... I mean I can understand the distrust due to my appearance but why the hate? Also, do you want anything else to drink?

Well then... A Nightmare appeared out of the background. Lead them towards the meeting place and tell the guards, if they stop you, that they are lucid dreamers. Don't be seen.(If you want Gearstride and Silverpine to talk on their way) Berathor quickly left and headed over to Zachs dream. It was a pure black background there too. He said. Good evening mister "Zach"

"Sweet..let's go....sooner I get this over with, the sooner I can get my harem on," Gearstride was being her one track minded self as she grabbed Silverpine and dragged him with her. She followed the Nightmare that had appeared.

"You'll never get me now!"
He then jumps off of her and yells:
"Stazengann! Combine!"
A liquid ball of steel comes out of nowhere and covers Blazing Hooves. He looks like a miniature Stazengann now.
"Alright, do not tell my dad. My grandfather gave me this."

2011-06-25, 04:27 PM

"I'll pass on the drinks." Sandy chuckles and shakes his head. "See, I shouldn't have to explain that. I shouldn't have to introduce myself here. You're either really good at playing dumb, or I've mistaken you for something else. And I've got no way of knowing which it is, and guessing wrong would be...bad.

"Lemon, you're a showman; remember to hold your applause until the end...But you probably won't be applauding much."

She turned back to face the wall of the tent. She raised the papers in her hoof. If this were a real parlor room, she'd be faux-threatening them over a fireplace.

"So he gathered up a few: a pair of young acrobats. And he told them that if he did as he told them, he could make the carnival a better place... Something like that, I'm sure. Lots of smoke and mirrors, writing checks he thought he could cash...But in the end, he probably can't.

His plan, from what I've seen, went something like this: cause trouble. Steal money from customers. Never big enough to attract police attention, as we'll see... But enough that eventually, no one would want it in their town. The carnival would suffer... I haven't had time to look over the paperwork, but I'm guessing the fruits of this plan are right here in my hoof."

She waved the papers again, this time getting ready to read them to the crowd, and formally indict her suspect...

Sandy mulled this over for a few moments, then answered, "I've still got two more questions. First, provided my eyes and head still work in here, I figure you're some sort of thing made of thoughts, dreams, and other such intangibilities. How do I know your little revolution won't cross over to Equestria?"

" Second, I'd like to be clear on what I might be agreeing to here. You're going to take me to this dream, where I just sit around with a bunch of other ponies, and nothing else happens to me? There's no other agreement I'm getting into here?"

"Lemon, you're a showman; remember to hold your applause until the end...But you probably won't be applauding much."

She turned back to face the wall of the tent. She raised the papers in her hoof. If this were a real parlor room, she'd be faux-threatening them over a fireplace.

"So he gathered up a few: a pair of young acrobats. And he told them that if he did as he told them, he could make the carnival a better place... Something like that, I'm sure. Lots of smoke and mirrors, writing checks he thought he could cash...But in the end, he probably can't.

His plan, from what I've seen, went something like this: cause trouble. Steal money from customers. Never big enough to attract police attention, as we'll see... But enough that eventually, no one would want it in their town. The carnival would suffer... I haven't had time to look over the paperwork, but I'm guessing the fruits of this plan are right here in my hoof."

She waved the papers again, this time getting ready to read them to the crowd, and formally indict her suspect...

Yes, the paperwork was more or less a transferal of ownership, where Lemon would presumably get it all and Ferias nothing really. Why exactly he would agree to such a thing...eh.

"Is 'dis true? Ya caused trouble just 'ta make Mistah Ferias look like'a nimcompoop and damage 'ta reputation of dis here carnival?" Lefty questioned Lemon with a hurt expression.

"Feh. I don't have to do anything really to hurt the reputation of this carnival, it does that on its own, especially with all the other crooked employees, but some ponies are just too blind to want to see it," Lemon replied bitingly and glowered at Ferias. He then glanced at Mystery. Peach glanced at Lemon and dropped her glower, she still had her involvement to consider. Maestro took this in silently, his hold on Cerise not so tight anymore.

Two ponies walk into the tavern dream wearing sterotypical adventurer gear. They should be sitting down at a table now, and the bartender(Reginald) throws them some unopened bottles of Root Beer.

Oh I am as real as you and your friends. It's just that I am real here and not in your world. Jormong took one last sip out of the bottle and then said. All tho the revolution if I am not mistaken has a very tiny thing of going in to your world... Small because we have yet to discover how to do this. Also. No. There is no secret agreement. Not any that I know of at least.

Rodny finally arrived at a something that looks like a Tavern. He noticed Gearstride and Silverpine at one of the tables and waved at them.

He then glanced at Mystery. Peach glanced at Lemon and dropped her glower, she still had her involvement to consider. Maestro took this in silently, his hold on Cerise not so tight anymore.

"He didn't have to, but he did. Adding contract fraud to his list of crimes, incidentally.

He asked Colt Horner and probably Cerise as well to steal for him. Small amounts -- nothing too big, since he didn't want to attract much attention from the authorities... Unfortunately for him, he made a few mistakes. The first, and grandest, is that he decided to work on his scheme in a town with me in it. And from there, it only goes downhill.

The second was this: Colt Horner ran unerringly to him when I was chasing him. Colt Horner was an acrobat and skilled at getting around: he could have chosen any hiding place in the whole carnival. But he felt only one would protect him. So he ran to the tent where he knew his real boss was. When I asked him who put him up to stealing, he told a transparent lie...And looked, for security's sake, directly at you. Did he tell the right lie? Were you going to bail him out?...Obviously, not."

She pointed to Lemon.

"This is where his plan took a second wrong turn. And from here, they sure pile up quickly. He asked Cerise to use the gun she had stolen from Mr. Maestro earlier, and shoot Horner before he could talk. The gun was a choice that said a lot: Only Maestro and Ferias were supposed to know about it, so even if the choice of weapon was found...It'd be easy to blame it all on Ferias. Most likely, Colt Horner, who knew about the gun, told either his fellow flunky and acrobat Cerise, or the boss who he wanted so badly to please about it."

She then grinned. It was time to do a little bit of bluffing. Nothing solidly untrue, but enough that it looked like her case was tighter than Lemon knew it should have been. After all, either he'd be cracking now, or be on top of the world still, secure in his ability and the pleasure of shooting her down. She took the letter out of her coat.

"How I caught Cerise isn't important. What's important is how I caught you. First, Cerise confessed to working for you while I had my tape recorder, sitting happy as a clam in my pocket. She also confessed a few matters about the letter in my hands... A letter that told me everything about how you were the mastermind behind it."

The little mare is ready to go to work. She had a few more bits before the nightclub will be finished. Lacking a helmet and setting a bad example, Purple jumped onto her skateboard and zoomed down the road. Singing of course.

You're probably sick of being tired
You can't find the strength to close your eyes
You can't let go But you can't change everything

Stop laying in this burning bed
Write it on the walls and read it
Bright red so you can see it
Don't fail me now
Write it on the walls and read it.
Until there are no secrets
So safe and sound
At least for now

Time's gonna warn you with a whisp- Aah! Pfft! Aaaah!

Out of nowhere, a letter plops in front of her face. Blinded, she crashes into a lantern post and a trash bin. The paper mixes in with all the rubbish spills.

It was the start of a new day for Mystic Muse. A new day full of possibilities. Possibilities of jobs she would have to do around the Civic center that is.:smalltongue:

She went into the kitchen to make herself breakfast. Eggs, pancakes and sausage with lots of syrup. She finished it rather quickly, and then started cleaning up other ponies dishes, and mopping the civic center.

"Because this crime could have never happened if you didn't have his orders! After all, why was Colt Horner shot? So he wouldn't tell me, a detective, about the truth.

Lemon shot a harsh look at Ferias who had been keeping quiet the whole time.

Was that...a confession? It was a pretty vague one, if it was. But the tape recorder had picked it up, just to be safe.

She laughed. She laughed for a long, long time. Because she realized then what sort of person he was, and it was hilarious how moronic, how short-sighted he was. How little he understood.

"You're the one who ruined it. I suspect...That the carnival your father had was a carnival that could exist when the truth was shown; it was a carnival that didn't get ruined by being shown for what it really was. You did something unforgivable by making all those dreams into lies. Nothing real comes from hiding the truth. I'm more than happy...to destroy something like that."

She shrugged. It sounded mean, but that was how it was. Because he had decided to make it a lie, what could she do, but tear it down? She hoped that there would be pieces left to pick up, the real things, the true things.

"If you wanted to do it so badly...You'd do it the hard way, without cheating or hurting anyone. You'd do it without behaving like a spoiled colt. But you didn't, did you?"

Hover Heart.

Another day. Another time to brood.

"Go make friends says Mother." Hover says with a cheery false grin. Then the side of her mouth droops. "How foalish she is. She wishes me the despair of temporary happiness. Anypony with friends will just bring pain to themselves and the 'friends' they 'love.' They will drown in a sea of tears as their friends scrapes knees and pass away. Scabs. Tear soaked scabs they will be."

The gloomy pony floated above the town, raining her apathy and.... well rain on the townfolk. "More rain for you. Drown in your sadness faster. It's a present out of my pit for you".

Fox Trot

His last night had been pleasant enough. When he had gotten home he relaxed a bit to his music, made some tea, oddly, normally he made himself coffee but for whatever reason he wanted tea. Reflected a bit on his day and went to bed.

Next Morning

He awoke and went about his morning routine, shower, coffee, listening to records as he drank his coffee on his couch.

The teacher woke up a start. White... why was his room white? He blinked several times as his blurred vision slowly resolved in focus. Huh, fluffy. Wait... fluffy? And what's that feeling around his body. Feels like... rope. Wait...

Does not compute.

His head whipped upwards to for him to see that he was being suspended in midair by hundreds of balloons tied around his body. And tethers to prevent him from floating off.

He rubbed his temples as the residual headache from his hangover simply won't go away. HOW THE HAY DID I END UP LIKE THIS?

[Icy Touch/Civic Center]

The blue mare yawned as she woke, a surprisingly good and dreamless sleep to be had. She trotted down to the kitchen after doing her usual morning routines.

Gearstride-The Hangover-Waking up who knows where

The xanadu mare painfully yawned as it just simply wound up hurting her head. Her eyes were closed as she clutched her head.....ooooh the hangover....gaah. She opened her eyes wearily, still a bit loopy. Why was the room so dim...and very very comfortable and full of...reeaaaally nice cushions? Her sense of touch then took note she wasn't even clutching her head.

She was wearing a lampshade. A lampshade that read as "Gear's Crown". Waaah?

"Oh holy hayseed...what did I do last night?...." She eyes opened wide, the room reminiscent of harem chambers. Of course however...a sheepish smile appeared on her face as her imagination ran wild.

[Silverpine/Cloud Nine]

"Okay, Silverpine don't panic. Take stock of the situation," he thought aloud.

One, he's floating above a cloud.
Two, there's somehow a scissor attached to his left forehoof.
Three, somepony affixed cardboard pegasus winds to his back.
Four, he's still floating on the cloud.

The answer was clear. He will have to somehow wrestle the the scissor from his forehoof and cut himself loose.

"I'm not analyzing. This is the parlor room scene you insisted on my having right now, remember? So I'm telling you the results of my investigation... The truth you tried to hide."

She said, perfectly calm. She wasn't analyzing: she had all her ducks in a row.

"You thought you could stop me. If you had stopped after the shooting, you could have been safe. But no: you had Cerise send me a letter. The spelling, I think, wasn't yours... But one thing was."

She read the letter aloud, lingering over the part where he called her a detective. I don't remember if the letter said 'little miss detective,' but let's pretend it did. As she did, she played her tape recorder, fast-forwarding to every time he had called her 'little miss detective' in a montage.

"...That was your hoofprint, evidence that blows anything else out of the water. No one had the words but you. No one had Cerise's loyalty but you. No one had the knowledge or the motive but you. You made this crime, from rotten top to rotten bottom!"

For some random reason, Fox Trot sneezed. He wondered if somepony was talking about him. Ah well. He put on another record and sorta just zoned out, his eye fixated on the mare on that poster that's been mentioned several hoof-fuls of time.

Gearstride

The lusty mare sneezed, she wondered if somepony was talking ill about her. Whatever the thought didn't last very long. She had no idea where she was at, the only thing that appeared in her mind was one word. Harem.

She opened the door to find out where she was.

"You two certainly are having hangovers. And somepony did drink all that wine."

He sighed in relief as the ice soothed his throbbing head. She did have a point though; who had drunk all that wine?

*flashback to last night, Silverpine, Gearstride, and Cypress all keep getting refills, Sandy never finishes his first cup*

"...wasn't me..." he mumbled.

EDIT: @Benson:

She finds herself in a long hallway, like something out of a castle or dungeon. The ceilings are high, the walls are ornately decorated, and it's all made out of cushions. Even the tapestries are just mosaics of smaller pillows.

After wandering around for a while, she eventually gets to a large door. This one is an actual door, hinges and everything, all made out of pillows and cushions. She opens the door, and finds herself in the outer courtyard of a castle built out of, you guessed it, couch cushions. This is basically the world's largest pillow fort.

After leaving through the front gate, she finds light coming from above. She finds a ladder that leads to a trapdoor. Once opened, it leads...to a shed outside the Civic Center. This shed, trapdoor, and possibly even cave were most certainly not here the previous day.

Sweet, her very own pillow fortress. She couldn't wait to show Silverpine. She climbed up the ladder, found herself in a shed, saw that she climbed out of a trap door. The fact that none of these things were before didn't bother her much. She's a world explorer, she'd seen many strange things in her travels.

Weirder was that....the Civic Center was on a large cloud in the skies, obviously there was pocket dimension stuff going on for the shed to lead "underground". Science, must now be done.

The sunlight from the sky made her agonize in pain...bright light makes a hangover worse. "Gaaah...curse Celestia's sun....." She rubbed her temples. The lampshade was still on her head. Her homburg hat with the goggles...not. Dangit, it was missing again. But she was too hungover to notice at the moment. She made her way carefully up the flights of magical cloud stairs and into the civic center.

She stumbled into the kitchen. She took notice of a few other ponies. "Quick...stat...I need a bloody mare cocktail to cure this horrible hangover..." She collapsed, slumping on the table.

Sandy shakes his head. "...bad idea...no alcohol for me...ever again..."

Icy shook her head and took the cup from Sandy, helping him fill it with water before replacing it again in his hoof. "I agree with that sentiment. Being hungover once is once too many." she said, her memory going back to that incident with pomegranate tea. Tea, of all things.

(Actually the letter did indeed have it saying "little miss detective", I was hoping you caught that *cheers*)

"Fine...little...miss...detective. I hope you're happy. You won. Now because of your interference...you've doomed this carnival completely. This fool Ferias doesn't know how to run it. My plans would have brought new life to this dying dream of my father's, means to an end." He growled, broken. He glanced over at his sister. "Well at least I won't be in this alone in this."

((I thought it did, but it's been a while, and I hjave no clue where it was.))

She waved a hoof over everyone else here. His guilt-tripping really, really didn't work. Her priorities placed truth about anything but a pony's life...And then, it was up in the air. But it placed truth so high because she believed, with all her heart, that only the truth could be used to make ponies happy, and that you couldn't save anyone or anything with lies.

"I'm happy because the truth came out. I hope the rest of you make the best of it. I think you can. After all, when life takes away lemons, you just have to start selling lime-aid."

That pun was terrible, but hey.
To his comment about his sister, she only said...

"Actually, there's not much evidence linking her to anything, except your closeness. All very circumstantial. It's something I didn't have time to investigate today in full detail, though..."

At long last, at the end of the night, she heard a hoofstamp outside before a pair of officers from the next town entered. Mystery handed over all her evidence, including the now full-to-bursting tape recorder, now complete with Lemon's confession, and gave them a quick run-down outside.

"It looks like the police will be in charge of working out Peach. My work here is done."

And she began to walk out of the carnival. Not her best work, but....

"heeheeheeheeeeeee! I solved a mystery ~!"

She half-said and half-sang.

@ Deme

Prologue: With Lemon's incarcerated absence the carnival did suffer a bit in which the responsibility was placed on Maestro's shoulders. The carnival would recover but it would never once again be the glorious fun fair it was during Lemon and Peach's father's reign. Ferias retired mostly ending up in a similar role as Lefty, doing odd jobs. There were less stress wrinkles on his face. Colt Horner and Cherise would continue working at the carnival doing their bits. As for Peach, her involvement was deemed simply circumstantial evidence and she would get off scot-clean at her trial. Later she would have seemed to have just disappeared without a trace.

Yes, the case was over, but there were still some loose threads dangling, but that's a problem for another pony, another day.

He had been fussing over some applications for receptionists when someone came slamming in. In the front room... Well, he had left the snake there. So Purple was staring directly into the glossy black eyes of a night-dark snake. Its tail darted behind it to ring a bell on the desk.

The doctor hurried in.
"What on earth happened here?"

He leaned over and gave the little scrapes some thought. A few scrapes like that he could heal quickly and easily. He touched his horn to her, and a bit of light surrounded them and healed her.

Purple could feel the cuts and scratches disappear. The relazlxatikn of the healing gave her time to take in her surroundings. A table with magazines, standard residents of a medical office. Then she saw the snake. "What's up Doc? Ooooh a snake.! the purple mare opened her arms wide in a gesture to get the snake to "hug" her. "Oh. Name is Purple Pepper.

To be honest and no offense, I don't know if your potion work work. I've been through ten potions from doctors and their stuff always wears off too fast. I don't think this is a normal biologically disorder and am thinking the chemistry angle. That's why I contacted the local alchemist. Although you seem to be more talented that most of the quacks I've dealt with so your potion may work. But I mostly need you to monitor the situation if either potion works. Achemists don't know medicine and I need your brain to be there in case she accidentally poisons them or causes side effects.

(OOC: Gwyn is the alchemist)

((He's a witchdoctor, though he likes to avoid that word. Making potions and charms to fix people is one of his twinned specialties...So that's quite a blow to his pride there.))

He was suddenly very firm, with about as much humor as a stone; apparently, mages are both touchy about their magic working and offended at the notion that they aren't good enough.

"Any potion I give would work, I assure you. My healing of ailments brought about by unusual means is a point of pride. And that's assuming surgery is needed, since you said you didn't know. An actual diagnosis is important before beginning any treatment, regardless of the nature of the ill. Chemical is biological, anyway: the body's basically a mix of chemistry, physics, and magic, with biology applying itself as a study to the former two, and..."

He takes a few deep breaths to un-rile himself, stopping mid-sentence before he did something foolish. Then he shook his head and smiled gently, speaking in a more relaxed tone.

"I wouldn't go ordering anything just yet. Surgery, and thus potions to prepare them for it, may be entirely unneeded. I prefer non-invasive methods of healing, if I can help it...Or, at least, methods of invasion that don't require the services of a surgery suite, which would take a while to prep for besides. Bring them in for a diagnosis properly first, and then we'll see what is actually needed. Any doctor who prescribes a remedy before seeing the patients is a quack, and I'd rather my patients not take unknown medicines before I see them."

The snake just stuck his tongue out at the doctor. It was a special tongue-sticking out: a petulant one. He also shook his head. The doctor glared back.

"Yes, you do."

The snake shook his head again. This went on for a minute or two until the snake gave Purple a kiss.

"Well, if love her so much, why don't you marry her?"

The snake nodded enthusiastically.

"...Dear Celestia, he thought that was a real invitation..."

The doctor rubbed a temple.

Yes, No-Name. I have to go to work. she answered.

The mare couldn't even tell the snake she was taken. Purple loved the attention.

Fox Trot-His House-

Fox was going over his records, at the moment he was flipping through deciding which one he thought Silvermane could appreciate, a sort of belated birthday gift. Selecting one, he put it aside for gift wrapping.

He set to the kitchen to put his coffee mug away. It was then he got a message from Soft.

Oh dear.

""There, see? Now, you'll see her again later."

The snake slithered off dejectedly.

"He gets that way. Well, I'll see you off; I'm headed to the woods to do a bit of herb-gathering."

To get ready, he levitated a basket onto his back and took off his hat. Underneath was a hat entirely indistinguishable from the first, except slightly -- but not so much that space-time didn't lay down and weep -- smaller.

"Yes there is. I ate there just yesterday." Icy answered, trying to push the uncomfortable memories of the "lunch" she had out of her mind.

"Okay, then. I guess we can head there first?"

Purple/Doctor's office.

"Okay. Goodbye Doctor Magic. And thanks for everything." Purple kicked her skateboard forward out the door. Before hopping onboard, she blows a flirty kiss to her new snake friend. "Bye Bye No-Name."

"Lets' go then." Icy said, as she led the stallion towards the Grills.

(Better assume we get everything and get back, for sake of plot. :smalltongue: )

(Yeah. I'll make the post.)

So... after managing to haggle for the required items from the restaurant and some townponies, the pair trudged back to the Civic Center, their saddlepacks bulging with.... stuff.

"Remind me why am I doing this again?" Icy grumbled.

Grills/Downtown->Ferris Wheel

Not to waste another chance at intimacy, he gives his filly a short kiss and teleported them both into the carnival.

After a short walk, the pair found themselves in ffornt of the wheel. It was motionless with a dark green colt standing at the controls.

"Gwyn, This is my long lost half-brother, Flim Flam. Flim, my better... Gwynfillion."

The green colt bowed. "Please to meet you, Miss Gwynfillion. My brother said you were beautiful and he did not lie." On the floor lay a note with the same compliment written in Grills' hoofwriting. The entire meeting was staged, of course.

"She is not only beautiful but the most beautiful in town, brother." Grills proclaimed. He hurried the mare passed his bother toward the ride. The red carriage was open with a pair of pillows and a bottle in a wine bucket inside. "We should hurry, dear. The sun will fall soon."

Gwynfillion gave a slight nod of the head and smirked. "He better have said that." She chuckled giving Grills a light nip on his ear.

"It's nice to meet you too."

Gwynfillion cocked a brow seeing Grills' little arrangement and gave him an 'I see what you're up to' smile. Nonetheless she went onto the ferris wheel carriage.

Her comment put a grin on his face.

His grin started to take on a forced innocence. The smiley Grills hopped into the carriage after Gwyn and Flim closed the door behind them.

The ride made all these machiney sounds. Cogs and gears and stuff clanged softly. Nopony else was on the ride. They were actually alone now.

Grills reached down into the bucket and fulled out a dark bottle. "Do you drink wine?"

"Haven't in a long while, but sure, I'll fancy me a bit," Gwynfillion sat down on a cushion giving a slight lady-like toss of her mane. It was...quiet here, save for the low humming of the machinery at work here.

The stallion carefully opened the wine bottle with a corkscrew and poured them both a glass of wine. Grills hoofed Gwyn her and swirled his glass.

After a quick sniff, the chocolate pony took a gentlecoly sip and softly moan. The reaction was nowhere close to that of anything his filly did but it was obviously pleasurable. He did love his wine.
"So dear, how was work lately?" He figured she wouldn't bother to dodge this easy question. And he had a motive for this one too.
