(You may reply when ready) Starnsy was, for lack of a better word, bored. It was a lazy day in general, and the foreboding dark clouds on the horizon threatened to turn this day into a lazy, rainy day. She just couldn't bring herself to get up and go get an umbrella however. Sitting here in the park, she contemplates what to do today as she rests her head against one of her hooves.
(Might as well go anthro) Today seemed like a great day! It was going to rain which was a good sign for BladeRunner, not he didn't care for any lightening. Lately though the shop hasn't been gaining any business. He walked through the park carrying what looked like a large sword embedded with diamonds. He was meeting the colt who would buy it from him in this place. He sat on a bench next to a mare, thinking about what to say to the colt who would buy this weapon.
Starnsy nearly had to do a double take when she saw the strange figure beside her with what appeared to be a diamond encrusted sword. It would be rude to not strike up a conversation with this stallion. "Er... Hello there. Is uh... Where did you get that?"
"Made it," Blade simply said, "It took me about a week to make this weapon, its heavy, sharp, in its case, and dangerous." He wasn't really paying attention to the mare, nor did he care much. Any questions she had about weapons he would answer, unless its about his personal life. A colt in a jacket was walking around the park and then spotted BladeRunner, he then walked over the other pony, "Good day sir, your the one called BladeRunner I presume?" "Yup, thats me." "Good, then you have my weapon. Listen, my family is on a tight budget-" "Last I checked your not even married, like I said over the phone, seventy-one thousand dollars, take it or leave it." Blade said cold and dark like looking the colt straight in the eyes. "Fine, here." The colt gave Blade a suit case, "I was hoping for a lesser price but oh well, I shall be off." "Take care of it." Blade would sit back, watching the pony leave the park. He was making sure he didn't drop the weapon, or went bezzerk with it. He relaxed a bit as the colt was out of sight.
She had just witnessed a deal for seventy-one thousand dollars. She was a bit dumbfounded. Today wouldn't be such a lazy day after all. "What use would a sword like that even be for? It's dangerous enough to use, but valuable enough to put on display. And you make these kinds of things every day?" She realized she was rambling on and quickly stopped herself. Hell she didn't even know this stallion's name!
"Yes, I do this for a living. Bastard has been avoiding trying to pay for the weapons I shed blood for, but it never works. Its for show, and defensive reasons." Blade said as he got up and stretched, "I run the blacksmith, if you need any weapon and armor, stop by." He then walked away with nothing else to say.
Starnsy decided, against her better judgement, to follow this black and green stallion. What else would she do today? "Hey wait up a sec! What's your name?"
I will be having origin type stories or an event to cause the rings to choose those worthy. I find Twilight to be the only one who could spread HOPE. Look at the ursa minor attack, She was instilling HOPE in everypony around her. Yeah I know, So I have to alter the rings a bit. I have to drop the charge limit, I'll have them run off the emotion instead. I have to drop the indigo staff and turn the indigo corp into a more normal corp. Indeed. I understand what you say. I still think Nightmare is the best choice( excluding OCs) The sapphire ring has been making a lot of plot trouble. Pinkie also show great FEAR in episode 25. Pinkiemena is full of FEAR. AppleJack won't being getting a ring from the start.(I've got plans to fix that) The more I think about it,Dash is the only one capable to have the ring. She still overcame her FEAR. As I said before the events before hand will cause each emotion to show. This has caused some problems the more I thought about it. I believe Nightmare to be more of an entity/spirit then just a normal pony. This is a huge problem for me but I think I got it worked out how to work her back into the story. Yes, but this one is one of the easier things to do. Just because she didn't show RAGE in episode 6 doesn't mean she doesn't have it. I have a plan to make her angry enough. No one from the DC universe will be in it. The rings are self contained in the pony universe. The diamond dog will turn on his friends. There will only be one orange lantern. Will probably drop the shipping, but someone will die, I don't want to kill off anyone, but the story requires that at least one pony dies. Cool =) If you want to write one go for it. I can't claim it all mine. ***************************************************************** A few notes, my original post was made when I didn't have all the story put together yet. I also had to alter some stuff to make it all work, added some original idea to the rings as well. The whole HOPE vs FEAR thing and GREED vs HOPE,COMPASSION have been a huge pain. HOPE takes away the power of FEAR. GREED can't erode HOPE or COMPASSION. I'm still trying to make it all work with out one ring dominating the others. Thanks for the reply.
He sighed, "BladeRunner." He just said. If she didn't get his name the first time them surely she had problems hearing. He wandered why she would follow a stallion like himself, he was nothing special, it was his fault for being on those helicopters doing his job, not this. But in order to hide his true identity he needed to blend in. It was covert ops basically, he had to lay low. Hell, these ponies may not have even seen a ranged automatic weapon before. Blade always kept his Scar-H and his AK-40 in the basement along with the crashed helicopter, well most of it anyways. What would this mare want he wondered.
She quickly caught up to the sighing stallion, matching his pace with her own. "Nice to meet you then BladeRunner. I'm Starnsy. I've never really seen you around town before."
"I'm not new, I've been here for about five months. The Forge was created a month after I moved here, business has been slow, but I'm probably the richest there is to name in this town." BladeRunner kind of explained.
"Oh, I see." She walked along beside him, thinking of something to talk about. "I don't exactly forge things... But I make explosives. It's... Kind of fun really."
"Explosives, as in C4's and AT Mines? Those are destructive, but ATOM Bombs are easy to make as well." If this chick really knew about explosives, then BladeRunner interested in this. He looked like an ordinary Unicorn, but that was not true. He had a jacket on, which would hide his wings. They were near the Forge, as that was its name, "Your welcome to come on in if you wish." He said with no emotion.
Starnsy grinned and pulled one side of her pants down slightly, exposing her C4 and Detonator cutie mark. "C4 is cake to make." She walked in to The Forge after him.
"Well, this is it, safe havens." There were weapons spread throughout the walls, as well as hunting rifles and various others, but illegal weapons were kept in the basement with the chopper being repaired. He took off his coat, revealing the wings. Being an Alicorn to him didn't really matter, he thought he was like any other pony.
She blinked a few times as she saw his wings, looking between them and his horn. She tugged lightly on them. Nope. They were real. "Wow... You're an Alicorn? Are you a prince or something?"
"Hm? Um... prince? No, I don't recall ever being one, why?" Blade had a curious look on his face. Were Alicorns part of royalty or something?
"Well, pretty much every Alicorn I know of is royalty. Princess Celestia, Princess Luna, Princess Twilight, Princess Cadance." She gave a shrug as she stood in front of him. "I just assumed you were because of the wings and horn. Er... M-My bad, sorry..." She rubbed the back of her neck.
"Its fine," BladeRunner said immediately, "I didn't know there were others, I've only been in wars, thats it. I came here to relieve myself of all of the years of nothing but fighting and killing." Blade said honestly. He took a picture of a group of humans, one of them being himself when he was in Iraq. He still wished he were there with his friends, helping them with invading Korea and China.
"Ah... Must've been rough..." She couldn't really think of anything to say to that. So the green mare tried to steer the conversation to brighter things. "So uh... What do you do most days when you aren't forging things?"
