The door opened, and Timberwolf the size of a grown mare walked into the bar, a heavy canvas bag slung over her back. She dropped the bag beside a bar stool and dug out a battered copper tankard and bag nearly overflowing with bits. Placing both on the bar, she hopped up onto the stool and gave a short bark.
Saber glanced over at the new customer, then back to the card, studying it closely. She then pulls out a card identical to Arches, with the only exception being the markings.
Skydust glanced at the timberwolf as she walked in. Azrael looked at her strangely. "...the hell?" Maya smiled at the big timberwolf. "Never had a wood wolf in here, but... first time for everything, huh? Does that bark mean mead?"
Holly had been trying to ask for cider, but as very few ponies were capable of understanding her, she wasn't surprised. Still, mead sounded good. She nodded to the pony and poured a small pile of bits onto the bar.
"She wants cider, dearest," Skydust told Maya. "Oh! That." Maya took the required bits, poured a mug of cider and slid it over to her. "Since when do you speak bark, babe?" Skydust shrugged in response.
Holly let out a short whine of appreciation and lapped at the cider. It was pretty good. Sweet Apple Reserve, if she wasn't mistaken. It occurred to her that this was probably the first bar she'd ever walked into where nopony had freaked out at the sight of her. It was a pleasant change.
Skydust leaned in to talk to the wolf. "I think you may be the first timberwolf to not mistake me for a chew toy. I appreciate that."
Saber continued to silently compare the cards. Now that she knew what hers was, she grew curious to how much was on it.
(notices Saber's expression) Yours may not be the same as mine. I modeled mine after one's that I've seen. that isn't what mine usually looks like. It looks different based on where I go. Although, on the other hand, it could very well be like mine. Although, only me and my Mirror have ever created cards like this... So if yours is like mine then, who made it?? I would've been able to feel the disturbance it causes. (Shivers noticeably) Like that... Someone just outputted a large amount of energy. (Looks at a suddenly appearing clock) Of course! Anyone else feel that? (Banishes the clock) June 26, 2010. A TARDIS exploded, destroying the Universe it was in. I went to that Universe. Seems the Timelines of this Universe and that Universe touched at that date and this point in Time corresponds. OOC: Doctor Who anyone??
(*is very confused*) "I didnt catch much of that, but i think your saying that they are different but could be the same, but if theyre the same, that means that your mirror made it. And then you said something about a TARDIS exploding..", She took a breath of air before continuing her own rant, "And wait a minute, they actually exist!? I thought my father just told me about them for bedtime stories, and my father gave me this card when he left with my mother." After saying her thoughts out loud, Saber started to ponder quietly, now only whispering to herself.
And yes Saber, a TARDIS exploded. I just felt its explosion, due to Universes bumping into each other. Today is the day that your Universe bumped into the other, whilst in their Universe the date is June 26th, 2010. The day a TARDIS blew up the Universe. (walks over to Saber) If you want, I could show you?
Saber continued to mumble to herself, sipping her cider slowly. Then she turned to Arhitect. "wait.. really? Thatd be awesome!"
(Nods) Yes. In fact I can do much more. (concentrates and horn glows) *A sword glimmering like water under the moonlight appears then disappears*
"well then maybe when we get back, i can ask you a favor. i can pay you 10,000 bits?" She holds up his card.
"i dont know how to explain it, cause i was only told stories, but its a time and space vehicle sort of thing." Saber said, a little too excitedly.
Maya perked up. "That sounds bucking rad, dude! TARDIS... Sounds like it'd be an acronym for something. Travels through timespace, right? Time And... Relative Dimension In Space? Eh, I'm sure I'm way off."
Looks at Maya, "I dunno, but my dad told me all about the great stories, and adventures that happened. I cant believe he was actually telling the truth" Saber eyed the card some more. "but what wasnt he telling me.."
