(Worser is more fun! ) Luck suddenly thinks and comes up with a good answer. "Hey, why don't you go find the others and get them over here? If I can't do what you need, maybe they can! Besides, we need to stick together, seeing as we're all the only other ponies we know here." EDIT!: Luck turns and looks at Eden slowly and coldly. "Uh huh. NOW you want to talk." Luck was still messed up from the day, but was getting more and more on sure and steady as he went along, and finally things were looking up for him. He had no good feelings towards Eden, and given his attitude, things were likely to get worse. So, he leaned close andtilted up his hat so Eden could see the results and hear him more clearly."Tell you what. You make up for this-you help us out with getting the money for a place to stay, find us place to crash, and I might hear you out later without paying back in kind. Anything you have to say can wait until we're something resembling safe".
Zephyr clops his hooves together and grins. "Perfect! Wait here for a moment!" He flies up in the air and puts his hoof over his eyes searching out for things and rockets off into another direction. ... ... A few moments pass and he flies back, landing in front of Luck, carrying three apples. He trots over briskly and hands over the fruit. Looking back he takes note of various ponies passing though and flies 5 feet into the air and hovers. He speaks in a loud, clear voice. "Fillies and Gentlecolts! Come one come all! Come and witness the one and only..." He uses his pats his belly repeatedly to create a makeshift drumroll "Lucky Juggler!" Zephyr zips down to Luck and whispers into his ear. "Good luck" He hovers backgrounds and merges with the small, but still growing crowd, leaving the spotlight entirely on Luck. OOC: Just realized you're wearing a Trixie getup and I'm putting you on the spot as a show. So much win in this post. Edit: OOC: Totally just put us on the spot. Incoming Reavers.
"Listen, mage, and listen well. I now follow a plan that will benefit me, and you, should you chose to join. You are the only pony here who has any attitude at all, and you aught to put you talents to good use. Come with me, and you will become more powerful and rich than you can ever imagine." He stared hard at Luck. Discord's words echoed in his head. "If you can't get those ponies to join us, the Reavers will come in handy. Their leader is Mister Apollo, a shrew of an old pony. Those Reavers do everything he says, and that will definitely assist us." Should Luck refuse, he would make sure this Mister Apollo saw the theft us his flower coming.
(I hate/love you so much right now) Luck stared at Zephyr in disbelief. Half of his face looking like hamburger, tired and out of his mind, and the pegasi wanted him to JUGGLE? Luck had half a mind to flashbang everyone and see if he could run for the hills. Then he had a better idea. In a cheesy old man accent, Luck addressed Zephyr as loud and clear as he could. "Now, no, see here, I am a wizard, the high magus of Hoogle Boogle, not some clown, I am not here to deal with the kids, I am here to deal with a great problem in the stacks" He tossed the apples back to Zephyr and tried to communicate, without breaking the facade, that this was now a comedy act, and he was helping like it or not. (Basically, come up with a bad joke and say we proceed as a comedy act, I figure) EDIT: Luck had notime to respond to Eden's words, with being put on the spot, but thelittle ponies words actually piqued his interest. With a meaningful glance at the pony,, he tried to communciate to stay put and that he was willing to hear him out once he got the crowd off of him. EDIT OOC:Man, we are setting up one heck of a train wreck.
Clef wakes up on Kidd's back he was trotting along the road, Clef gets off without Kidd noticing and starts to limp towards a crowd of ponies he gets through some ponies to see Luck and Zephyr were in the center. Clef waves at them trying to get their attention he noticed he still had his violin in his pack and wondered how the hay could it still be intact after the craziness of Kamlin.
Eden understood. He immediately stepped into the spotlight, and went ethereal. No pony could do this in written history, and the odd effects of the state were certainly mind blowing. He was a light blue, with a faint glow. He was also rather transparent, and the crowd seemed to regard this as an amazing trick. He walked around the stage until the effects started to wear him down. He grunted at Zephyr, "Alright, feel free to help me out now." Meanwhile, the calming effects of the state had turned to pain, and he felt it hard to maintain a straight face.
(okay, Now it's a comedy act AND a psuedo magic show. Way to kill the dark and desperate vibe now. ) EDIT: OOC: Okay, with Lost out for a while, beyond Zephyr doing something to basically transition the show, we can call pause here. I got some math I need to do, but I'll keep a eye on this for when we start up again. In the meantime, figure out the fallout of this, what it means for the group, and preferably a YES, BUT! resolution.
Zephyr catches the apples and proceeds to toss one of them backwards into the crowd, hitting a nearby spectator on the head. "Are my apple not good enough for thou, Wizard?" He rests his arm over the Stallion next to him and looks him right in the eye, raising another one of the apples. "Look at this apple my friend, does this look like a delicious apple to you? Wouldn't you devour this apple? Enjoy all of it's appley goodness? Of course you would!" He walks out of the crowd and approaches Luck. "You're a great wizard are you not? Then juggle you!" He tosses the remainder of the apples at Luck.
(Whenever i'm offline someone else can control Espir if they want, Just make sure he doesn't turn completely evil.) Espir see's Kidd in the didistance, "Kidd! Would you happen to know where the other ponies are?" OOC: Can Espir become kidd's partner staremaster?
Luck plays it up, doing his best to keep the battered side of his face from the crowd and otherwise joking with Zephyr or using small light tricks to entertain the crowd. He turned Eden's appearance on stage (a fairly surprising development) into a nifty bit of stage magic(or at least it looked that way to the audience) and a joke about an old stallion's wife, who guffawed appreciatively about it(Luck didn't see the wife though). From there, he improvised as he had done many a time, and with his namesakes he managed to turn a potentiall disaster into a fairly good night for everypony. Still, his gut feeling told him that this was too public a reveal, too disparaging a persona. In short, he had marked himself, Zephyr and Eden as clowns, and clowns were often seen as easy targets. So when the show was done and the money collected, he made a point of keeping close ot the crowds, following the crowd closely and found some people headed for the inn. He hadn't seen Clef or Kidd, but he imagined they had seen him and Zephyr and could catch up. All the same, he pulled Zephyr asides. "Go find Kidd and Clef, make sure they get to the inn, it should be well poulated due to our stunt. We'll find you in there." "Oh, and Zephyr? Don't ever do that again. " Luck said, with an exasperated smile before walking off a little ways, finding Eden in the crowd. He didn't say anything to the pony, but his stride communicated business, and upon entering the inn, he ordered a cheap room and paid for it, then clomped his way to the room and let himself and Eden in. Closing thedoor behind him, he turned and glared at the pony. "Alright, apology more or less accepted. I don't like you, don't really want to trust you, and I still feel like we've got some squaring to do. Like it or not though, I'll work with you on dealing with whatever is going on here". Luck's glare tightened. "Count yourself lucky that I'm interested. What are you pitching?"
Kamlin was now searching for the group but found no one "Argh! How can we not find these ponies," he shouted he grabbed a pony and punched him in the face ad threw to the ground. "Ah.. nothing like beating up people to blow off some steam," he sighed, he kicked the pony again and stole all of his bits he went searching for the group all around the town ready to kill every single one of them. Clef has dozed off in the act and now was on a bench "Ugh.. Were is Luck and Zephyr?," he questioned he stumbled out o the bench and noticed that there was a note stuck to him that said "HOBO" Clef grumbled and tore it off. "Man this town is really mean," he grumbled, he started to walk around town trying to find his friends.
While Espir was catching up to kidd, a pegasus darted towards Espir, thinking he was an enemy. "WAAAAH!" yelled Espir, a metal canister appeared in front of Espir and shot a laser at the pegasus, sending him to the forgotten realm (anyone i shoot with robeam gets sent to a mysterious realm and can only leave when they become pure of heart.) "What was that?" said Espir.
"Espir! Well, I know that Clef is with me... He's gone isn't he? Darn. Well, the two of us are pegusi, and so I think we should take to the skies... Something tells me Zephy isn't glued to the ground." Kidd and Espir begin their search for the other pegasus.
After the show Zephyr was quite pleased with himself. He sat outside the hotel room and tossed a money pouch up and down. This wasn't his money pouch though. During the show he had gone around and purposely interacted with the crowd so that he could get close to them, pickpocketing any money that he could and collecting it into the first pouch he snagged. He took the pouch and stuffed it under his goggles so that nobody would be able to see it, don't need someone recognizing their own pouch after all. He was also able to pickpocket a decent knife. He held it in his hoof and admired it, who knows, given the current circumstance he might need it. OOC: I hope to god I wasn't the one who was just exiled....
OOC: That WOULD be ironic, but somehow I feel that Robeam is too much for the game. Says the guy who has a power that can potentially be story changing.
Kamlin walks around kicking things rocks around "Ugh! Im bored... I'm going to the inn my belly needs food," he exclaimed he starts to walk to a inn because he heard a pony talking a about a show and getting a lot of money. He smiled and had 4 pawns at his side. "You 2 one protect the front door and the other protect the back door!" he shouted the 2 scrawny ponies rushed towards the doors Kamlin enters the inn laughter and drunks filled the place he tries to get their attention but no one would listen. He starts to get annoyed and picks up a drunk pony and throws him into a table silence filled the inn "Ok! were is the performer!," he screamed ponies looked around and the they just looked at him with no answer. "Ok looks like we are you doing this the hard way," he grabs another and throws another pony into a drunk. They both get up and the drunk yelled at him and threw a punch after that a old-fashion bar fight happened and he command the 2 ponies to search every door.
