*In the distance you see large buildings, which kinda looks like this
It looks very old and damaged, but upon closer view of the school, it's grand opening is today. On a nearby sign it says, "Whoever has a ticket of entry please report to the main building for further details. You see a building that's in the middle of your view, and you notice others who have a ticket, but as you can see their are Dragons and Dragon Ponies, and no other... You are the only one(s) who are not a Dragon...
*The school bell rings an eerie tone as it gives the cue for everyone to listen to further directions...*
Match Stick looks up from the book hovering in front if him to see what was going on.
*A pink dragon pony stepped onto the stage, smiles, and notices a couple of ponies who aren't suppose to be here. When she see's that they have a ticket, she shrugs it off and goes on to speak about the history of dragon ponies...*
Peacekeeper enter with both eagerness and anxiety. Kinda felt uncomfortable being around a predominantly dragon crowd. He enters, showing the ticket, and enters awaiting for instructions.
Close by, another pony is coming by, fully covered in military uniform, wearing a helmet that completely conceals his face. In his mind, he is looking forward to learn something new. The majority of dragons around him didn't seem to intimidate him as he approaches the building, revealing the ticket. Wonder how he got accepted? Either way, he enters awaiting instructions.
Match sees Peacekeeper and the armored pony from his shady spot under a tree. He got to the school early and had been reading up to this point, and completely oblivious to the dragons walking about.
*As the pink dragon pony continues her speech, a small Pegasus filly named Small Wonder enters the building with excitement, awaiting to befriend dragon ponies her age.* Bidior, the pink dragon pony, spots the filly, then says, calling her out:*
Bidior: Their are a number of ponies here. This should be fun for all of us now won't it..? ;)
There were a lot of things one might expect when travelling anywhere, especially to some place like an academy for dragons.
School was not exactly a favored subject to the horned individual who had just arrived, hauling along a cart of his possessions. And provisions.
Nobody said it was an easy journey, after all.
Having left his cart outside with a note containing a very descriptive message of what unpleasant things would be done to anyone daring to steal from or vandalize it in any way, the individual, a unicorn as you have probably guessed, entered the building, seemingly not noticing a small brown squirrel riding upon his back as he did so.
His expectations for the place were a little higher than they should've been; the damaged and overall sorry state of the place made him sigh, apparently disappointed.
The squirrel, let's just call her Nibbly, gave the dragons around her some nervous looks, knowing full well there wasn't much anyone could really do if one of them decided to do something to her. And dragons weren't known for playing nice.
"Should've stayed in the cart..." The unicorn muttered under his breath. Though he showed no signs of fear, actually appearing quite friendly with the smile on his face, he couldn't help but feel a fair bit anxious.
However, he felt more than a little relieved upon remembering he was only there to get the ticket issue cleared up, get some answers. Once that was done, he intended to bail at the earliest opportunity.
(( Dragon Ponies eat squirrels just to let you know Stryder... ovO ))
*Small wonder was quiet when she gave that comment, and when the younger dragon ponies giggled, but ignored them and continued to listen...*
... And now, I will give out further instructions on the tickets. Those tickets were given to a certain amount of dragons, dragon ponies, and ponies, because of either your special abilities, intelligence, basically anything that makes you very different from others. this Academy will train you to become better at your talent, and will only focus on what ability etc. the ticket says on the back. It should be in small letters, and I bet most of you didn't catch it.
*4 other dragon ponies walk on the stage*
Depending on what your ticket says about your talent, you'll go with either of these teachers. For example, if your a very good leader and adventurer who loves to travel, then you go with Razor, which is this building. Also, the talent that you will be assigned will not match your cutie mark, so don't complain or whine about it. That goes for you ponies who were mysteriously invited...
*Bidior slowly walks to the others standing on stage, and talks to them, waiting for the dragons and ponies to come forward...*
Maple walked up to the crowd ending up next to peacekeeper himself dressed in his armour a duffle bag on his shoulder "hey you guys got the same ticket as well" he asked clearly confused
*Nearing to Maple* I think we got different tickets. I guess we got different teachers. But not sure. Maybe we may get the same one.
[I know they do, that's why Nibbly's so nervous.]
"One can only hope." The new unicorn had said as he approached two conversing ponies, stopping right next to them. "Normal-ish ponies like us should stick together wherever possible. I swear I've seen a few of these dragons eying me up like a piece of... Meat...!" He then whispered.
The squirrel on his back, Nibbly, seemed to have seen (or at least believe she saw) what he was talking about, giving a terrified squeak as she rushed forward and dove into one of the pockets of the unicorn's green vest in an attempt to stay out of sight.
Match placed a bookmark into his book before placing it into his saddlebag, and retrieving his ticket. Flipping the ticket over to reveal the tiny letters.
(@GlassMirror are you selecting classes or are we? If the latter, is there a list to choose from?)
((well all of you will be in the same classroom, meaning that you and everyone else is in the Adventure group based class :3 Just to make it easier on us. ))
*Bidior stares at the normal ponies, and smiles*
Bidior: You all do not need to worry. All of you will be in the same class since we gave you the same talent. We did that to make yourselves more comfortable anyway, since most of the dragon ponies are intimidating... ;)
To Maple
Oh. We do go together then. hehe *chuckling nervously*
Appearing closely next to the others
Guess it makes sense. Probably outcasts from the rest of the meat-eaters who wants us for lunch..
He rraps a hoof around Match while looking at the rest.
We gonna be buddies from here on end, right?
*Bidior approaches them*
You ponies are lucky. Your going to be with the one who made this school. She's the one who travels around and such. Her name is Razor, who is to the left of me. Keep in mind she is... Well... You'll find out ;)
Match shrugs off Peacekeeper and continues into the school.
*-whoopse. I should label my OCs more clearly. Blue words is for Peacekeeper, and the brown is my OC who has no name... yet.
--------------------------------------------------
Peace and the armored pony with no name follows Razor.
Maple decides to follow them haveing nowhere else to go
*It was awkward following Razor for a moment, until she said:*
Razor: ... Follow orders.... And everything will be much easier... If you don't, you won't eat...
*She then grows silent and continues walking now down the long corridor...*
A red dragon pony comes a little bit late and ask to the pink dragon pony. "Sorry, I'm late! That mail pony just give me the ticket there's just few minute...! Hope I'm not arrived so so late..."
Won't eat, huh? Yeah, tell that to the little stockpile of rations I hauled up with me.
It's not that the Unicorn, Grand Illusion, had anything against the rather... Let's just say rough. He didn't hold any ill will towards the rather rough dragon pony he was following. She simply seemed easy to annoy, and if there was one thing he couldn't help but accomplish for his own amusement, it was annoy "sour-pusses" whenever he could get away with it. Tilting paintings, loosening the lids on salt shakers, that sort of thing. Nothing too serious.
However, he was really going to complain if she'd gone so far as to have his food taken right out of his cart. Or anything for that matter. She just seemed like the kind of being that would, if serious about the not eating thing, think ahead and do something like that.
"So, my edgy f... eh, acquaintance? What sort of things should we be expecting from our classes, if you don't mind me asking? No offense, but I'd be lying if I said I wasn't expecting harsh, brutal, and painful things."

*Bidior looks at him in annoyance*
Razor had already left in the corridor. better catch up to her.
"R-right!" The red dragon pony run in the corridor.
*As they past the corridors and head up the stairs, Razor switches a light on from the corner, and the lights to the remaining hallways come on. Razor says in a very bland tone, while noticing a red dragon pony running towards them:*
Razor: Classes start tomorrow... Don't be late... Your tickets have your room and class numbers... They are your keys to get in your dorms... Don't lose it.
*She leaves the ponies, but says one more thing to them...*
... I better not catch you wandering the halls...
((her class number is just 1, lol which is the very first room downstairs just to make it more easier on us all ;) ))
"what a bundle of joy that one " maple whispers looking at his number to see a 7
Peacekeeper looks to his ticket looking around for his room number.
The armored pony also looks for his number, but only makes the remark right after Razor has left his view.
Don't you just love to explore more of this school? That curiosity just tempts us to break the rule. Trade in dinner for an unattended tour of the school and your room gets changed into Cell 1 or whatever number. Feels just like Turkmaneestan, except with torches instead of electricity. Gotta thank them for using electricity instead of holes on the ceiling.
The red dragon pony arrived in time and heard what Razor said. Look at the back of his ticket to find a number 9 for the room. He notices after there's also ponies here. "Wait a moment... how these ponies got a ticket? ... Oh, I think I get it how..." Thought the red dragon pony. For an unknown reason to him, he have a feeling that he already meet that blue Pegasus, Peacekeeper.
Match Stick remembered that his room number was three, and entered his dorm as instructed by Razor.
Small Wonder: I get to have my own room? Awesome! my room number is one!
*She tries to slide the ticket in the lock, but the door doesn't open*
I think I'm doing it wrong... lol
"You won't." Illusion had said in response to the dragon's warning. Catch me, that is. He then thought, resisting the urge to start snickering.
Like everyone else, he looked over his ticket, seeing the number two on it. "So these are keys? How does that work? I kinda doubt there's any sort of key-card system in place, with how old and beat up the buildings seem to be..."
Maple opened the door into his room all that it contained was a simple bed and locker
Peace finds his door. His number read 5. He attempts to slide the ticket into what appears to be a slot fit for the ticket. A click was made and the door feels loose, meaning the door may have successfully opened. He overhears the red dragon about her problem, and walks over to her.
You need help?
The armored pony finds his door. Number 8 was his number. He looks to his card and the lock.
Hmm... I wonder. Do they have an alarm?
Instead of entering it to the slot, he tries an alternative way. Secretly, he slips out a metal pin with a flat grip on the other end and carefully tries to work around the groove between the door and the frame. In one slip, he successfully feels the door loose open.
Hm hm... some things never change.

*Small Wonder looks at Peace*
uhh, yea.
*She hands him her ticket*
((Um... uh... what...? Did Peace is talking to my red dragon pony? If it's the case, it's a male and not a female...))
*-
@Julien999 : I was gonna help GlassMirror's OC since she did struggled and then kinda said it out how to open the door.
Also I thank you for the gender heads up.
((Alrighty, but Small Wonder is a Pegasus filly, not a dragon. Derpy Peace. :P))
Match situates himself in his new dorm, unpacking his bags onto the bed before organizing them around the room. Books fly onto the book shelf, and formal clothing is folded neatly into drawers via Match's apparent mastery of levitation.
Peace gets the ticket, reading the instructions on it. He places it into the slot with the side showing some pattern on the edge. The door clicks. He pushes the door slightly.
There you go. ^-^
Just put it this side of the card in and it should click. Hope this helps.
The armored pony enters and finds bed, drawer, and a window.
Was expecting cobwebs and stains, but oh well. Gotta thank them for making it look like Buckingham palace.
*Small Wonder smile and nods at Peace*
Thanks! But I just wanted to know how to use it, so now I know... Bye!
*She runs in the hallway and downstairs to do filly stuff*
You welcome ma'am.
He returns back to his door, opens it and sees the basic furniture in it. He looks around a bit before placing his stuff next to the bed and looking out the window.
*Out of Peace's window theirs a couple of dragon stallions and normal dragons practicing their techniques and abilities. one of them looks at Peace and snarls, and another one (Relic) waves a 'hello.'
Giving no more than a little shrug, Illusion copied the actions peace had taken to get the door open, applying them to his own. And, well, it worked.
The work of magic, probably.
Anyway, the room itself... It wasn't too terrible, at least. Comfy-looking bed, end-table, drawers, a window, closet, bookshelf (with a few books already there), and a mirror.
"Huh. Not bad. Not as spartan as I was expecting, though quite plain. maybe this won't be so bad..."
Nibbly, who had been watching everything from the unicorn's vest pocket, poking her head out to do so, had hopped out, taking her own look around.
While his squirrel companion was busy looking around, Illusion took quick a look out through the window, wondering if he'd see anything even remotely interesting.
Probably not, but you never know.
Peace looks outside. There is a group of dragons and dragon ponies. His feelings are a bit mixed since he and the others ponies are the only ones in school. Interesting enough, he sees a few on the ground that appear to see him from the window. When he sees a dragon pony snarling at him, he hides a bit, just looking with partial head. He feels a bit intimidated from the expression, almost if it wants to eat him. He sees another, who seems to wave to his direction. Seeing a sign of a greeting, he waves back, still hiding a bit. He feels a bit of comfort knowing there are some nice dragons out there.
The armored pony sets his stuff, which is just a thin backpack, and looks around until looking towards the window. He stares out into the ground, then the school, then the horizon.
*talking to himself* Gonna be a wild abroad study. Should be decent enough to know these fellas and their origins, if any. These dragon ponies have been a bit unknown to my knowledge, but will take whatever I can to understand the group.
*Small Wonder hides behind a wall to spy on the dragon ponies who are practicing... the one who snarled at Peace says:*
Catch: Can you believe that Razor actually invited some ponies here? In our territory? What if they cause trouble for her? or us for the matter?
Relic: She's not the type to just invite random strangers... She must know them somehow. Either way it's nice to have some variety here.
Catch: your only saying that because your friends with a shy pink haired Pegasus. :/
Relic: What I'm curious about, is what she will be teaching them...
The armored pony peaks out a bit more until turning around.
Time to get me intel on these folks.
He makes his way into Peace's room, with door already unlocked. He enters in sneakingly inside while Peace looks out, peaking out of it.
You scared pegasus?
Peace gets surprised, covering slightly with his wings and turns to find the armored pony.
Oh! You scared me there. Well, not much. It's that there are so many dragon ponies out there, and it kind of intimidates me since we are the only ponies here.
Don't let them scare you. I know how it is being the only pony in towns. Feels different, but as soon as they get to know you, it becomes a bit easier.
Peace looks out the window again.
Yea. I've got dragon pony neighbors where I live, but I mean, well...
Don't worry about it. These ponies can seem intimidating, but they can be good friends with ya.
That's true.
Who are you? I also want to know where you from.
I am Peacekeeper, and I am from Las Pegasus.
Ah Las Pegasus. The city founded in honor of the Pegasi to helped the settlers to the Great Basin. A good variety of kinds and races live there. Nice to meet you.
Uh thanks. Who are you, and you are in the Royal Guards?
Hehe. I really don't have a name, but you can call me Bolt Thrower, and not really. I am in my own military. I go across the globe.
Wow. Pretty neat. Good to meet you Bolt.
The armored pony gives a salute and turns back to the door.
Illusion did see something at least mildly interesting. Dragon ponies practicing... Something. Let's just say they were sparring.
Of course, by the time he saw them, they'd stopped, one shooting Peace a nasty look, and going back to their business.
Gossiping, basically.
Surprisingly, they hadn't noticed him. Then again, he could be pretty sneaky when he wanted, so that was something. Also very good at eavesdropping, but that was no fun. Not now anyway, when they weren't doing much to keep from being overheard. One could open the window and hear most of everything. Too easy.
"Oh, so am I, believe me. But, what can you do? Edgy's not sayin' a word." The unicorn had said, was now sitting on a little bench not too far away from the two dragons.
It was apparent that his friend Nibbly had tried to stop him, but had failed to do so and had immediately jumped into his vest pocket once he'd made his presence known.
A quick look at his window would've revealed it to be wide open. Apparently, he'd hopped out from there.
The red dragon pony place his ticket into the slot (number 9) and the door clicks. He opens the door, closes the door and puts some of his stuffs there.
Then he opens the window as he sees other dragon ponies and dragons.
*Small Wonder emerges from her hiding spot when she see's Illusion come out. She was think she could have just a bit of fun with the dragon ponies since see saw a dragon pony (Relic) waving at what appears to be Peace's window to her point of view. Besides, it wouldn't hurt to talk to one of them. Relic and Infamous Catch were just about to practice again when Relic spots a tiny filly...*
For a second their I thought you was Fluttershy... What are you doing here..?
*Catch closes in on her*
Catch: How did you even get here?! You can't just go wherever you want to go in a place like this!
Small Wonder: Hey I'm trying to be a nice pony here! I just want to talk to the red one behind you. He looks cooler, and nicer. ;)
The armored pony leaves Peace's room. Before making his way to the next room, he returns back to his own room and looks through his backpack. He gets a tiny fireproof safe and opens it, revealing a dog tag he uses as his alias. He pulls his original dog tag and replaces it into his safe box and places it back into his bag.
He overhears some ponies outside and looks out the window to see the dragons. He then decides to lay upon the window frame and watch the training.
Meanwhile, Peace leams out the window a bit more, feeling less scared now. He slowly, but surely reveals himself more and watches the dragon ponies.
Illusion had gotten between the filly and dragon so quickly that for all intents and purposes he might as well have teleported. "We weren't to go wandering the halls. Nopony, or drake for that matter, said anything about going outside. Now if you'll excuse me..."
He suddenly stepped back, pulling the Filly towards him as his horn flared. This time he really did teleport, and the next thing anyone knew, he was setting the Small Wonder down right next to the dragon pony she was so interested.
"Problem solved." The unicorn said to her, before turning back to Catch. "Also, infamous for what, exactly?"
((his whole name is Infamous Catch)) :3
Relic: Sorry about Catch's bad behavior. I kinda don't blame him though since we are just finding out that we were getting new recruits here. :] We got a little backtracked. Razor is kinda moving to fast for us anyway.
*Infamous Catch snarls at both the ponies, but then walks off, waiting for Relic to finish talking*
Small Wonder: So, Relic...
*And she begins to babble on and on...*
Seeing all the banter happening below, and finding his room rather boring at the moment, Match walked to the center if his room where nothing was around him, and began concentrating heavily on the image if himself in the courtyard. As his horn shone brightly with orange light, small flames began forming all around Match until he was completely engulfed by them. In an instant the fires went out to reveal nothing but a scorch mark on the floor and Match no where to be seen, but almost instantaneously with the flames going out, new flames began appearing in a ball-like shape in the courtyard. With the fiery display reaching its finale, an exhausted Match Stick emerged from the fire a few yards away from the group.
from the window frame, the armored pony watches in entertainment.
Such brave, crazy fools he he. Almost as crazy as me. Should be interesting to see how these ponies get along in Equestrian Chinatown.
((to lazy for colored fonts!))
Small Wonder: So Relic, Do you know Razor's reason why she invited us over to be apart of her school? I mean, seeing that I'm the only filly here, she must have a reason. :3
Relic: All I know is that she wants her Empire and Equestria to become friends, so that could be a reason, or not, we never know what she's thinking. She doesn't even tell her own sister anything, and they were raised the same way.
*Relic looks at Illusion and whispers something that Illusion and Small Wonder can clearly hear*
Relic: You know their are no cameras or any strong security here, so you actually free to roam around, especially at night... ;) Who knows, you might just see or hear something. Theirs some dragon ponies who are nocturnal.
The red dragon pony notices a filly talking with a dragon pony through the window of his room.
Match Sticks limps over to Relic and company from the scorched area he teleported to in the courtyard. He doesn't say anything, but doesn't seem frightened by the abundance of dragons and Kirin.
One more thing before the bell rings... Don't go outside at night. Because their are dragons, big ones at that, who wander to look for food. ;)
Small Wonder: cool I wanna see! O:
Relic and Infamous Catch: o.O
The red dragon pony is also surprised about Small Wonder's decision. So, he say. "Hey! Are you sure you want to see those dragons? Because they will eat you if you're not careful!"
"Oh, don't look at her like that!" Illusion had said. "You know how much trouble there would be for the dragons if the princesses even thought we were getting harmed over here? And, surely, that edgy Razor lady has gone and made some sort of effort to keep bad things from happening... Right?"
The unicorn had then suddenly turned towards catch. "And didn't you wander off somewhere?"
Match stands on the outer part of the group in the yard. He looks on the Kirin and dragons with a mixture of awe and wonder, but fear seems far from his mind. Match doesn't say anything, preferring to listen for the time being, but is nonetheless content with his position.
*Relic looks at the red dragon pony and Illusion. He see's Match but just ignores him.*
Catch: Yes, but it's none of your business.
*Actually, Catch was going to approach Match, but upon seeing a shadowy figure in a corner, he nods and walked back to Relic...*
Catch: We need to go now Relic.
Relic: (nods) Razor doesn't care what happens to you. If you get eaten she'll go on with her day (the bells ring for everyone to head back to their rooms). hope you have a nice day tomorrow... ;)
Catch: I actually want to see someone get eaten to... :/
*Relic and Catch walk off with the rest of the dragon ponies...*
Small Wonder: lol
"Pardon? She doesn't care about safety?" Well, now that turned his smile upside down and into a frown. "I hope for the sake of every dragon here that you're wrong. I shudder to think of what would happen if anyone back home heard of any... mistreatment."
He turned away at this point, not even giving the others a second glance. "Now, if you'll excuse me..." And with that, the unicorn walked up to his window and promptly scrambled up and entered his room that way. Immediately after, that particular entrance was then closed and locked.
"I don't think that one has ever been outside of a city before," Match says derogatorily while looking at Illusions exit, being sure to say I only after Illusion was far enough away to not hear it. Match was well versed in the dangers if the real world, and cared little for the pampered and sheltered lifestyle he assumed Illusion has been living.
*Small Wonder knocks on Illusions*
Small Wonder: heyo! I need to ask you something.
"Right... so, pink Pegasus want to see those dragons at night and Razor do not care on what will happens to the ponies... Then I will going with you, pink pony!" Says the red dragon pony. "I will watches you and make sure that nothing bad will happen to you!"
((Do not forgot that he said through the window of his room)
With everyone leaving for their rooms, Match makes his way back to his own room for the night.
Immediately, the door/window/whateverwasknocked to Illusion's room was flung open. "Perfect timing! I need you to take a message to somepony for me... Oh, after your question, of course. What do you need?"
Small Wonder: Do you... You know... Have a little flashlight with you? I'm not going to do nothing with it... X3

"There should be one out in my cart." Illusion had said. Problem is, It's out by the entrance, and you won't be able to get into it yourself. You'll be stuck out there for a while if you try. A little enchantment my brother and I had come up with before I left home, to protect against theft and vandalism. I left a warning about it, too."
"However..." Illusion said, as a certain brown squirrel poker her head out his vest pocket. "If you take my friend here... No, wait. Bad idea. It'd probably be better if I went with you myself if anyone's going out there."
Disappointed, Nibbly's head retreated back into the safety of the pocket, where she most likely fell asleep.
Small Wonder: Ok :D Let's go.
*They both walk out*
((btw it's a little bit nighttime so that's why she's asking... I should've said that sooner X3 ))
Peacekeeper umpacks a bit of his stuff and places em in a small drawer near his bed to be a bit organized of his stuff. Very unsure of the kind of curriculum he will learn, he can only daydream of how the class will be like. Nothing more than just a plain room and a window, he quickly finds himself literally everywhere, nothing to enjoy himself while waiting for himself to feel tired.
The armored pony continues to see the sun set. He then pulls a pack of cards and looks through the deck. From a little switch from his front boots, a few claw-like machines pop from the walls of the boot. He used them to grasp the cards and starts shuffling them. It more than helps pass his time, it keeps him from losing motary senses of the limbs.
*Bidior wanders the hallways where the ponies are. She notices that Small Wonder wasn't in her room. 'typical for a filly' she thought, as long as she didn't go outside or get caught or something. Upon sensing that another pony is not in their room she believes that he/she went after the small filly, or at least went with her somewhere. She doesn't really care though, as long as they don't get caught by any dragon (excluding her because she's blind and she's not going to waste time looking). She thought again, '... But if they ARE outside, confident they may be, but even I don't want to come across a gigantic dragon, especially one that I particularly don't like...' :/
The red dragon pony went out of his room and notices Bidior, the pink dragon pony. "Oh, hey! Can I go outside? I have something to do." He asked.
*Bidior turns to the red one*
What do you have to do..? o.O
"Well, I heard that a Pegasus filly want to go outside and ask a pony to go with her watches some dragons who wander that night. I want to track them." He says.
Before he knew it, Illusion was already walking the halls, keeping an eye out for any unfriendly individuals as they made their way outside.
"If we come across any dragons, let me do the talking. And stay close unless I tell you otherwise. Ugh, the fact that such things are necessary..." He shook his head at this. "Just stay close, alright?"

*Bidior looks in the direction of the red dragon pony*
I'm not stopping you. Go ahead. Just don't get spotted by any others.
"I never said or even hinted that. At least, not intentionally." Illusion had said in a lowered voice, peering around a corner and seeing nothing of interest. "The fact that Razor's supposedly callous enough not to care about our safety is simply appalling, is what I meant. If a pony invited here got hurt or eaten by a dragon, most of Equestria would be outraged. It's a bit like a pony inviting you into their house and their dog attacking you, with them doing nothing to prevent it."
"And keep your voice down...!" He had then whispered. "I'm not saying you're loud, but we don't want to get caught by anyone, friendly or not."
*Small Wonder pouts a little, but says in a low tone...*
Small Wonder: Maybe she's just trying to scare us. Why would a big dragon want and eats us? Aren't we even worth their time? They live alongside dragon PONIES, so why do they want to eat REGULAR ponies...? :I
"And maybe they only get along well with the dragon ponies because, hey, they're part dragon! Until we know for sure, we can't be seen. On the other hoof, we're almost where we need to be."
It was then that the unicorn's ears began to twitch. "I hear something... It's coming up behind us, I think..."
In response to this, Illusion quickened his pace, motioning for Wonder to follow suit.
"Thanks..." *outside* "Now, where did they go? *sniff* *sniff* I can follow their smell..." *sniff* The red dragon pony follows the smell of a pony... no... it smell squirrel too...
The armored pony, while shuffling his deck, watches the others from his window frame.
Meanwhile, Peacekeeper is now asleep covered partially in his blanket and his shirt and cape off.
*Wonder quickens her pace as well, while looking back and forth to find where it's coming from...*
[There's been a massive delay in my posts here recently, and for that, I apologize.]
Even with the increase in speed the pair had been moving at, Illusion still could not help but hear hoofteps not too far behind them. Well, they actually were kind of far off, but the fact he wasn't losing them was a cause for concern.
"They're following us..."
His heart-rate accelerating, the unicorn rapidly went through a mental list of escape plans he'd hatched for just such occasions. He could easily throw off his pursuers with his magic; a little decoy taking a wrong turn, blending against the walls, or even straight up blinding the poor fool. In the end, he decided to go with a decoy.
"Just a moment, I'll shake 'em off." Illusion said, horn glowing green as he sent out a similarly green beam towards a spot on the floor behind them.
As soon as it made contact, a puff of smoke had briefly obscured the area, and once it cleared out, life-like copies of Illusion and Wonder were seen there, silently bickering over some nonsense as they approached a cross-roads of a sorts, stopping there as the unintelligible argument intensified.
"There. Anyone gets close enough to see 'em, the fakes will run off in a random direction. They'll disappear eventually, but it should buy us enough time to put some good distance between us and our pursuers. Still, keep the pace up, your eyes peeled, and your voice quiet. I don't want to take chances here."
Following the smells, the red dragon pony sees the two fake ponies begin to run in a random direction. He is about to follow them but he realized that something is missing. "Pff... a trick... Nice try but smells are missing..."
From the window frame
*talks to self* Neat trick, and brave to run out, but better run back here or the boogeymare gets ya, which I mean the dragon pony night watchers if there is any.
Maple watches not really caring about what was happening out side in fact he decided to make his room look more comfortable so he began to place varies pictures around the room most of the platoon photos from different Years
Match Stick both literally and figuratively closed the shutters to the outside room, preferring to take sanctuary withing the confines of his dormitory.
Finishing his decorating maple began to walk the halls of the School not paying attention to the fact that it was lights out "what beautiful architecture" he said to himself
*-haven't seen activity here for a while.
((I noticed that as well.))
The dragon pony flies up on a tree and watching on the top of it.
Orange light permeates through Match's dorm window as he organizes his things, creating a flurry of books, clothing, and other various objects all being levitated by the strained unicorn at its center.
Maple noticed some orange light emitting from on off the dorm rooms. walking over he knocked on the door trying to be friendly
Numerous loud thuds can be heard as the orange light ceases and all of the objects being levitated fall to the ground. Then the door opens a ways to allow Match to be seen, while leaving the majority of his probably chaotic dorm room hidden. "Yes?", the young stallion greets unconfidently.
Maple a little taking back from the sorta unfriendly greeting tries to come up with something"sorry for the interruption I just wanted to say hi and introduce myself as it seems well be going to the same....academy"
((He wasn't confident whilst greeting, sort of like being shy. Not trying to be rude))
"Nice to meet you. I'm Match Stick, what's your name?" the dark stallion replies, his voice still quivering even with the obviously rehearsed line.
"Maplewood or maple for short,so match where you from"
"Canterlot."
((Why nothing is going on here?))
"canterlote hmm the big city well I'm from vanhoover it's kinda up north"
"Yeah, north and far to the west if I remember correctly. You must have had a great view of the ocean."
"we certainly do I always like coming back after a long tour because you can smell the ocean"
Match stands in the doorway, awkward silence filling the void of what he had to say.
"anyways what kind of stuff where you doing in canterlote "
"Nothing really. I didn't get out much."
"hmm weird I would have thought that ponies get out more what with the type of scenery that's around"
"It's complicated."
"oh sorry if I sound like I was prying there, anyways goodnight match" maple smiled making his way back to his own room
"Goodnight." When Match closes the door, the orange glow quickly appears once again.
*-Hardly made progress. Not sure if it is okay to take it to the next day? Though we still need the rest to return to bed.
((Well, I'm just waiting to Stryder/GlassMirror to replies. :P))
((sorry. Ran out of what to say here lol ))

You don't have to worry, I'll be as silent as a mouse!! I mean.... Silent as a mouse.... lol
[Ok, now I have no excuse not to come back. However, in interests of speeding things along until the next day, let's just fast-travel a bit, shall we?]
It took a bit of doing, and there were a few tense moments where Illusion feared that the decoy hadn't worked, but the two ponies had made it to his cart with no further complications.
At that point, he tapped his horn once against it, and the whole thing glowed for a moment. "Security spells. Anyone touches it without permission, bad things happen. A little trick my brother taught me."
The unicorn then looked around for a moment. "Eyes open, okay?" It was at this point he practically dived into the cart, digging around out of sight.
"Oh, it's right there! Lovely." He then said, hopping back out half a minute later, flashlight in hoof. "Now all we need to do is head back. Fortunately, we can always try a teleport straight back to my room. Or is there something I should know about that method?"
*Small Wonder bounces around*
Alright...! This will really come in handy later as the school days go by... Thanks for doing all of this for me...! I'm ready to teleport when your ready..! :3
"Hmm? What did I heard?" The dragon pony seemed like to heard a roar from a dragon. Where? Well, just not far away from those two ponies.
((I would like to see Illusion and Small Wonder's reaction from this sudden roar. :-3 ))
[Sorry for the delay, still getting used to the fact that I've come back.]
"Alrighty then. Hold on..." Illusion had said, his horn glowing green at this point.
However, right before he could fire off the teleport, the two had heard a very loud roar. This caused him to yelp and jump, and teleport the two away a little earlier than he'd wanted.
Elsewhere...
The unicorn landed roughly with a thud on the floor of his room, a bit nauseous and more than a bit dizzy. "Ooh... Now I remember why I don't teleport so much anymore..."
A glowing mark, identical to Illusion's own mark, was visible on the floor, slowly fading away.
"A recall point." He'd explained. "I lay a bit of magic down, and I can zap back here without needing to concentrate so much. Great for long distances and quick escapes."
*Small Wonder gasp from the sudden roar, then is suddenly teleported back into the room*
That roar... I hope no one saw us. O:
Ark Tried to get away from the bullies that have been picking on her since her first day for being smaller than them
Bullies: "Come on Arky! Were just playing!" They laugh
Post Merge
Ark Tried To use fire but only Sparks come out
Bullies: "HA! Cant even Breath Fire Correctly!!"
"What would they do if they did? Say mean things? If they don't have proof we were there, they can't touch us." Illusion had said, before going over to the door and getting ready to open it.
"You should be getting back to your room as quickly as possible, though, before somebody decides it's a good idea to check up on you. I don't want more rumors spreading around, you see..."
Ark Flew off,Crying
Your right. Thanks for all your help! And thanks for the flashlight.
*She stands by the door*
(Where is everybody?)
(Hey glass?)
(im bored)
Post Merge
Ark Walks to her Room,Crying As she looked out the window
[It's night time. Everyone's asleep or about to be. Go to bed. No cookies. :P]
With a nod, Illusion opened the door, poking his head outside. After seeing that no dragons were in the hall, he gently yet firmly pushed Wonder right out the door with his magic.
"I won't ask why, just be sure it gets back in my hooves when you don't need it anymore. Good night, see you tomorrow."
Maple poked his head out of his room "yo what's going on" he yawned
"Nothing, Willow, one of the dragons stubbed his their toe or something and Wonder wanted to see if anything had happened." Illusion had said, coming up with a story on the spot.
"Go back to sleep, you two."
[I didn't forget what your name was, Maple. Don't worry.]
"hmm right that makes sense" he closed the door and went straight to bed
*Small Wonder opens the door to her room and closes the door. Excited, she turns off her room light just in case someone from the other side suspects that she's not sleeping... She then turns on the flashlight, and goes under her bed, where she see's a little door...*
Finally I can go see what's in the basement..! I just need to move my bed. Glad it isn't locked.. :3
'Bolt Thrower' gives a last look outside before coming in. He finishes after seeing a dragon pony crying into the complex after the bullying. he takes in the appearance of the bullies to keep in his memo on who to avoid... or bully back.
Instead of sleeping on the bed, he sits in a corner and sits down, crossing his front hooves. Also, he will sleep with his full armor on.
*After rearranging some furniture and her bed (which was hard to do), Wonder starts to grow sleepy from the stuff that she did, but perks herself up as the door leading to the basement is shown. She opens it, and a strong odor emits from down below. Over all the spider webs and complete darkness, she can see a ladder. She hesitates going down their because... It's dark down there.*
pssh! What am I getting scared for? I'm Small Wonder, the most daring earth pony orphan that Fillydelphia has ever seen. Being daring, I was able to give myself an actual name....
*She goes down the letter...*
((...does anyone want to time travel to next day? X3 ))
*-I'm ready for the next day.
((ok, waiting for others :3 ))
(Ready. Go for it when you're ready, too.)
*The bell for the dragon ponies (and ponies) signal them to get up. After the bell rings a loud booming voice can be heard outside*
Dragon: GET UP YOU LAZY DRAGONS! IT'S 7:00a.m.!! YOU BETTER BE IN CLASS BY 7:30!!
After the time passed, Flame Anger, the dragon pony, sleeps in front of his window. When he heard the bell then the dragon that is shouting like this by 'lazy' he gets up and roar. "WHO YOU CALL IT LAZY? THE BELL JUST RINGED AND YOU CALL ME LAZY?! OF COURSE I WILL BE IN CLASS!!" Those both 'dragons' shout really loudly that everypony/dragon can hear. Seems like that this thing will happen everyday.
"WILL YOU ALL JUST SHUT UP?! SOME OF US ARE TRYING TO SLEEP, HERE!" Illusion was heard shouting out the window in a voice similar to the kind once used by Canterlot Royals. Who'd have thought a little pony could be so darn LOUD.
"THAT'S THE PROBLEM, YA THICK-SCALED IDIOT!" Another voice had begun shouting. "I DON'T HAVE SCALES, YOU MUPPET!" "OH, NO SURPRISE THAT A PRISSY PONY CAN'T HANDLE THE SCHEDULE!"
"WILL YOU ALL STOP SHOUTING?! IT'S 7 IN THE MORNING!" Another voice had also yelled, joining in the fun. "OH REALLY?! I THOUGHT IT WAS NOON, THANK YOU SO VERY MUCH FOR REMINDING ME!" "YOU'RE WELCOME!" "I WAS BEING SARCASTIC!"
"HEY, DON'T BE SO RUDE!" "OR WHAT, PONY?!" "WHY DON'T YOU COME OVER HERE AND FIND OUT?!"
"DON'T YOU ALL HAVE CLASSES TO BE ATTENDING?! SHUT UP AND GET READY, FOR GOODNESS SAKE!"
[shadow=red,left][glow=red,2,300]"FINE!"[/glow][/shadow] All three voices had shouted at the same time, as four separate sets of windows soon slammed shut.
Maple just sighed getting ready faster then he thought. Possible and was out of the room in no time
"Pff! Always the same." Flame let the window open and goes to brush his teeth.
"Why am I brushing my teeth? . . . Anyway, Natura said that I should brush my teeth and to be clean."
The dragon pony walks out from his room and going into the class. It's seems like he's one of the first to come in class. *loud yawn*
Peacekeeper wakes up from the bell, moaning a bit from being waked up. He looks at the clock and it reads 7:02.
(Wow so early. Guess class will start like around 8?)
He then hears something, about class starting at 7:30. From the tone of the voice, Peace now gets scared and gets up, putting on his shirt (with wing holes) and his cape. He looks to the mirror to "pretty himself" a bit. He takes his ticket with him and looks over what the ticket reads so he don't end up in the wrong place. He opens the door and looks around the hall to find anyone. He then gets out and locks the door. He proceeds to go to the classroom, along with the rest.
-----------------------------------------------
The armored pony wakes up from the alarm clock. He stretches for a bit and gets up from his corner. He looks out seeing the school of dragons getting ready to go to class. He gets his special box and takes his dog tags that reads "Bolt Thrower" to use as his alias. He looks out seeing the many dragon ponies going to class with other dragons, dragon ponies, and even a pony, shouting all around. He returns to get his stuff and lock them in his heavy duty case, which contains... not much stuff. He takes his ticket and slip it into his uniform and walks out the door. He looks around to see who is outside and finds other ponies just leave his room looking for the class. He follows behind.
Match is up and out within 10 min., and well on his way to getting to class.
((I'm cracking up right now! lol ))
((My bad! :P Flame Anger is alway so because "Anger". Those shouting started at this, I'm sorry! xD ))
Ark Woke up and Flew to class "Im Here! Im Here!
Peacekeeper keeps up and tries to find the class as quick as he can. He looks at his watch and sees he has just enough time. He finds the classroom number and enters, only to feel shy seeing all the dragons and dragon ponies everywhere. Some of the students look at him and Peace looks a bit shy and slightly scared. He tries to find a seat, but a close one so he can see the board clearly.
------------------------------------------
'Bolt' walks around towards the classroom without any need to rush, just taking his time. Even being around dragons, nothing seems to phase him out. He finally arrives to the classroom. He gets more attention knowing that he is completely in armor. A dragon pony next to him makes a bad remark about him being covered in armor cause he is scared. The armored pony just turns his head looking at the dragon pony. With a slow nod up, he speaks...
Suuup?
He looks back towards the front of the class waiting for the instructor.
Illusion had, soon enough, found the correct number and entered the classroom, a big grin on his face as Nibbly rode with him in the vest pocket.
Normal enough, right? But he just had to open his mouth... "GOOD MOOOOR-" He began, stopping immediately upon realizing the volume of his voice was causing the room to shake, along with some other general havoc.
At that point, he promptly shoved a hoof into his own mouth. A few seconds later, he took a seat, his grin turning sheepish. "Er, Good morning, I wanted to say..."
Match enters the classroom quietly and sits silently at the front of the class
Maple very much interested in the architecture of the building was stuck looking at the walls of the building
Peace starts feeling anxiety being surrounded by all these dragons. It is like being the only pegasus in a Canterlot college full of unicorns... except unicorns are ponies and closely resembled. Dragon ponies look very different and their behavior is nothing like Canterlot, perhaps more hostile than home. But who knows? Maybe they are friendly, right? Peace decides to just sit and wait, not making any attention to himself.
The armored pony just sits and looks around awaiting for the instructor. The dragon ponies sitting next around him just can't stop looking at his armor. He didn't pay attention to the dragons. What he did in his little impatience passtime, he gets his special grasp glove, the one used to shuffle his cards, and drums the 'fingers' on the table.
It's seemed like that Peacekeeper sits right next to Flame Anger. The dragon pony don't mind if he sits next to a pony.
Peace takes out his ticket again and looks closely at it. He looks and reads closely, looking at every word and detail. He also checks if he is in the correct room. Would be disasterous if he is in the wrong room.
Match sits in silence and reads a novel with an image of a stoic gaurdspony on the front cover that he levitates a foot or so in front of his face as he waits for class to start.
