@AzureBlitz [MENTION=5222]Stridershy[/MENTION] [MENTION=10521]Prince of the night[/MENTION] [MENTION=7521]KillStreak[/MENTION] @jojuja [MENTION=10061]Leviathan[/MENTION] [MENTION=3005]Proxy[/MENTION] shall we begin. A sun shined across ponyville. Which since the second age of Harmony and the time of the mane 6, has grown from a simple town to Equestria's second city rivaled only by its capital Canterlot. Of course even the bearers of the elements don't live forever and so the age has passed by many a century to a highly modern world and the information age is still in its second decade. Now with the elements of harmony fueling the growing needs of its citizens rather than protecting them and the original bearers now dead apart from Princess Twilight Sparkle. Who will protect the royal elite of Twilight, Celestia, Luna, Tremalion and Heculius when the CEO of the largest business comes knocking for a Capatalist Corporatocracy. However that is all yet to come and the plot yet to be formulated, for now these fine seven mares and stallions go about their daily business as usual. Unaware of the task that lays ahead.
A beam of light was directly over Darky's face, making him wake up. "W-what time is it..." he said as soon as he got up. He looked at the clock just beside him. "It's... 8 o'clock... I should get ready, I have to meet some ponies from home in Ponyville..." he said as he yowned "...I should get going as soon as I can." He looked at his right, Luna was there, sleeping like an angel just beside him. He got off the bed, got ready to leave and went to Luna's side just after that. "I'm going to work dear..." he whispered to her ear, he then gave her a kiss in her cheek and left the room. (I updated Darky's bio so this could fit in, also they are just dating. Apart from that, Luna sleeps with him because he is cursed with nightmares and being with her is the only way to control them. I forgot to add this info, sry.)
The rays of the sun broke through the curtains of Starbright's home, shining down on his face, with a moan and a bit of a grumble Starbright stirred from his sleep, letting out a yawn and stretching his body. He pushed himself off of his bed and walked over to the curtains and opening them, allowing the sun to completely illuminate his room. Opening the windows, he took a breath of fresh air and let out a sigh. "Ahh...what a beautiful morning." Even though he had grown up in the current age, Starbright couldn't help but admire the town of Ponyville and all its wonders, seeing the town's past only in pictures and books, Starbright could only marvel in the fact of how far the world has advanced. He took another breath of air, and retreated back into his room. "I could stand here all day and admire this city, but alas..." He had work to do, like all ponies in the city. After taking the time to shower and adjust his hair to his favorite style, Starbright strapped on his saddlebag of tools and walked out of his home. "Hmm, perhaps I should get a bite to eat before starting..." With that thought, he turned around and walked further into the city, making his way to the legendary store once run by the Element Of Laughter, Sugercube Corner.
Star, just like everyday, woke up with her face in a book. She got up, stretched and closed the book, levitating it onto a shelf. Between working at the library and lessons with Celestia, she barely had time to herself. She walked into the staff lounge, and poured herself a cup of unsweetened tea. After taking a brief glance at her calendar, she realized that she had a lesson with Celestia in an hour. While sipping her tea, she put a bagel in the toaster and read a copy of today's newspaper in the mean time.
On the newspaper its main headline is 'Mark Co CEO Snow Mark publicly opens Final regional Headquarters in the mild west.' It further explains how this then cements Mark Co in having large Skyscraper HQ's in every major city in Equestria and not counting the smaller more specialized facilities in rural areas. Due to this recently a small joke has gone round about how 1 in every 10 ponies over 20 works for them. Beneath that is another headline about a political deadlock within the Canterlot based parliament causing uproar between the Royalists and the Republicans. since the return of Celestia and Luna's brothers Tremalion and Heculius have implanted Democratic ideal while still having the royals as the head honcho's. Star then received a letter from Celestia (who had yet to fully adjust to texting and E-mailing like her other siblings) informing Star that at least the next week of Lessons will be taking place in Ponyville at Princess Twilights castle due to some renovations in the study wing of the Canterlot palace. Meanwhile A red maned stallion named Red Velvet stood behind the counter at Sugarcube corner greeting every customer with a smile. He had just finished packing up a dozen cinnamon buns for another stallions corporate event when he saw Starbright come in. "Welcome to Sugarcube corner, what may we make for you. Donut, Croissant, Cronut?"
'Ding!' The piping hot bagel popped out of the toaster. Star levitated it into a paper plate and let it cool off for a moment. Star glanced over the letter she received from Celestia. Star sighed. Knowing how to send letters was an important skill, but they don't exactly arrive fast enough. Now she would have to book a last minute train to Ponyville. Star felt the bagel with her hoof, and decided that it was cool enough, took a bite out of it. She walked out of the lounge, and over to the Head Librarian's office. She knocked on the door twice. "Come in!" Said a gruff voice. Lee Histoire (French Puns, hooooo!) the Head Librarian swiveled around in his chair. "Star! What can I get you?" "My lessons got relocated to Ponyville. I need to buy a train ticket, you see." Said Star in her quiet, polite demeanor. "Sure thing. My laptop is in the duffel bag over there!" Lee gestured to the tan bag. "Thank you, sir." Said Star, taking out the computer. She booted up the computer and opened the web browser, and then getting on the Equestria Continental Rail website and buying herself a ticket. She put the laptop back in the bag, and bowed her head. "Thank you, sir." "No problem Star!" Said the ahead Librarian, before swiveling in his chair again, so that the back of it faced Star, who was walking out of the office. -45 Minutes Later- Star just got in the train. She looked through her bag one last time to make sure she had everything. "Tea, check. Sealing Amulet, check. Pens, check..." "Mares and Gentlestallions, the Equestria Continental to Ponyville is now leaving the station. Estimated time of arrival is thirty minutes."
Starbright walks up to the counter, opening his satchel and pulling out a small pouch of bits. "A half dozen Blueberry Muffins, please." He then sat the bits on the counter. "Quite the busy day today, isn't it?"
Darky got on the same train as Star. He was wearing a small necklace with ruby on it with the shape of an apple, a gift Luna gave him because he loves apples and to never forget her when he is working. He had in his back a bag with some papers saying where he had to meet the ponies he was looking for and what to do if he did or not find them. He looked one more time to the list as he sat. "Sugarcube Corner..." he read "... I wonder why there... maybe they heard about it and wanted to see it." He wondered, nevertheless he accepted it and sat in his place without saying anything more.
while in ponyville, Azure was running her own bar. she called it the hit and run because everypony hits the bar(not literally), pays and run. she was always loyal to her customers and her bar though. if they had something to say, she would hear it. but sometimes in a bad mood she would just go to the bar and work for a bit, take a few headache pills and then close. and if she was ever in a really good mood she would make a happy hour which is mainly where all her drinks where free for one hour.she had great friends who always had her back. and though she can be as stupid as a drunk cow when she's hungover but she still appreciates everyone and she won't hesitate to help anyone in need,weither a stranger or a friend.
-Levi was in his room, getting ready for the coming day. He had already sealed his gunblades in a quick-summon rift for self-defense, and grabbed his saddlebag, containing his iPad, which he used for spellbooks and tomes, his laptop, and his red 3DS XL.- (Levi) Okay, everything is all set to go so far. I just gotta go make sure my mom doesn't need anything from me before I depart. *takes off saddlebag and trots off for the throne room*
BladeRunner sat in his chair at the desk, his Forge and Blacksmith were open, ready to sell weapons, armor, amulets and bracelets and of the sorts. He was a pure white with a pure black mane and tail, and he had pure blood red eyes. He was up and ready for business, everyday he awoke at five in the morning, get the shop ready, brush his teeth, do the usual. Normally he has various travelers, hunters, and many of the sorts that would come in and buy something, or request a forging. BladeRunner had lost his parents not so long ago, passing of old age, he had the shop closed for an entire three weeks! He got over it eventually, and opened the Forge and Blacksmith back up, he even put in enough money to have a little workshop for the fillies, where they would play with toy tools and block, etc. He enjoyed his work, although he was always sleep deprived, he always had mostly a positive attitude. He never smiled, even before his parents had died, when he left his smile had disappeared once his marefriend began to cheat on him with other Stallions and lie and talk behind his very back, she was after the money and the muscle to protect it. Blade found out eventually, and said some very hurtful words to her, so, he dumped her one night, tell g her to find some other sucker. Blade never smiled, yet, he did n;t have friends either, just business partners and customers he wore fake smiles. thats all he saw everyday, the lust for a weapon and to spend the money on it. Yup, and he would comply with selling and crafting.
Azure yawned. she had opened up her bar early and for some reason she wasn't getting any customers.sure,for the first few hours after she opened she wouldn't get any business cuz no one gets hungover at 7 o' clock. so while waiting she started playing flappy pegasus in the meantime.when she wasn't getting anything after an hour or two she decided to go out for a trot and maybe chat with the local Blacksmith,though it was kinda stupid and pointless to have an alicorn running the forge in ponyville of all places,to her that was absurd.but she still wanted to strike to up some conversation in the meantime. once she arrived at the forge she instantly noticed his face and how...emotionless it looked. she shrugged it off and went up to him. "excuse m, your the blacksmith correct?well i was wondering if maybe we could have a little chat."
BladeRunner looked up to the mare, he didn't smile, but it looked like he had a question, "Hm? You just... want to talk?" He didn't mind the chat, but, normally it was about weapons information and a few jokes about a couple other things... but... just a regular talk? He hasn't really spoke to anyone casually, normally it was business and information and forging, that was it, no personal life stories or the any other times he had before he came to Ponyville. "Umm.... well, I have no one coming in until later to pick up a crossbow, sure, I can burn some time." (Question, how do you burn calories?)
(EXCERCISE BRUH!) "Well it's nice to meet you sir, i'm Azure Blitz. i run a little bar near the edge of Ponyville." she also always had a few ways to make Ponies smile,maybe she could try making him smile.
Cloud Line strode down the street, still early for his appointments with a few fillies and colts having math trouble. As he walked down the street he looked at everything with the eyes of one who loved math. He was the geometry in the buildings, the trig in the angels, even those story problems no one else seemed to like. As he passed a small fruit stand, that was a lot of apples.
"So you're the bar owner huh?" BladeRunner asked, he had never gone to the bar personally, but, he had been half tempted to go. "Well, my name is BladeRunner, and as you can probably see I own the Blade-Edge Smith and Forging." He said in a calm, mellow tone, extended a hoof for a shake, trying not to seem all that scary... if he was scary towards this mare that was. She didn't seem to be wanting any weapons, nor from what he saw amulets or other jewelry. He was actually both surprised and... well, happy! But he didn't get too excited though, he had just met this pony.
After a while, the train finally arrived to Ponyville. Darky got off the train and started walking to Sugarcube Corner. He was looking around, impressed by the how the city grew so big. Luna told him stories of how it looked like in the past, in the time of the bearers of the elements of harmony were still among them. As he walked he noticed a Forge where two ponies were talking, he looked at his bag and saw his sword and shield. The shield had some scratches on it and the sword was a little blunt, so he decided to enter. "I have some time." he said.
With her expertise in magic she could tell someones mood just by reading their magic wavelength,which is a thing she could do due to the different types of magic she's learned.She shakes hooves with BladeRunner and smiles. "Well you know if you're ever in a bad mood just come over to my bar,i promise i'll cheer you right up.so why exactly do you have a forge if,you know...its pretty pointless since we have guns these days."
"It's more of a habit actually. I started out with training with various weapons, then to repairing weapons on my journeys, then to crafting them. I can make a profit off of it, although..." Blade had a questionable look on his face as he looked back to the wings, "I really don't understand why many call me this, "Alicorn?" Am I not like any other?"
she laughed her a** off ."OH Jeez!" she tried to explain to him without cracking up again. "...well if you haven't noticed yet.Alicorns are more of a worship thing in Equestria. which not only means you're a prince that should be with the other princesses but running a forge in Ponyville instead but you're also immortal as well."
