(When I said the thing about long posts, normally people on do  a paragraph or two and sometime just a sentence. Rarely as long and drawn out as in here.)


(( I fail to see why you decided to point this out. It might be hard to believe, but I find it fun to type these long posts. It doesn't hinder the RP or the players, just harmless fun. Reminder to everyone, you don't have to read my posts; not like I could force you to read it. But if you do want to interact with my Character, you probably should read my posts. Also, we need an OOC thread. ))

*After shaking himself a little and stretching out his wing - thanks Celestia it isn't broken or dislocated like he feared -, Sky looks again at the stallion.*

Yep, I'm just arrived, well... Let's just say I just crashed here: that should have been my big entry, but I guess I still made an impression.  x3

*He chuckles to hide his slightly wounded pride and stuck his hoof out to the - at least he assumes he is - ice-cream pony.*

My name is - please, don't comment - Sky Crash.


Galacto couldn't help but chuckle at the stallion's comment as he took one last glance at his own reflection; he had to admit, the stallion made quite an impression on him. Regardless if the impression was good or bad, how the stallion was behaving now made Galacto think he wasn't that bad of a pony so he dismissed his accident.  Galacto turned his gaze off the water and was surprised to see a yellow hoof waiting for him. Nevertheless, he allowed the pegasus to introduce himself. A hint of confusion appeared on his face as the stallion intro. The "Sky" part seemed fitting for a pegasus, and he couldn't help but think of an orange bandicoot when he heard "Crash". Despite how odd he found the introduction, he took the hoof and shook it. Still a bit off by the stallion, he replied,

Galacto Treat: Okay. . . . Sky Crash. . . . It's nice to meet you. My name is Galacto Treat, but you can just call me Galacto.

Galacto let go of the stallion's hoof  as he finished his own introduction. Only one thought of this yellow pegasus crossed Galacto's mind: how easy of a target he was for a player. Of course, Galacto didn't care that much since it didn't really effect him at all, but a tiny part of him felt like he should care. Despite his best interest, he figured he should at least offer to show the stallion around. In a tired tone, the stallion asked,

Galacto Treat: So. . . Do you know anythin' 'bout this place? If not, I can show you around for a bit. . . This place can be dangerous at times and you should be aware of the. . . "way of life" here. . .

I wouldn't worry too much about your character's similarities to Rarity; naturally your OC would be a gem hunter if she is working with gems. The healing aspect of gems is an interesting theme for an OC. You are focusing on the healing element of gems, so you have to be careful with which gem you pick for the cutie mark. Each gem has their own meaning and healing properties, and when someone sees a certain gem on your pony they will assume that gem represents her. I would look into gems and their meanings, and decided which one fits your character the best. I already found two websites you could use:


Next is the design.
I would have a basic idea of the personality and how she received her cutie mark before you dive into these websites. It would be easier to pick a gem base on her story rather than basing her story around the gem you pick. I would pick a handful of gems you like and work with those.
A design you could use is how she distributes the gems. Does she have a shop where she sells her gems? If so, the gem of the cutie mark  would have cleaner cuts and look presentable. Or does she travel across Equestria hunting for gems and sells them along the way? If so, the gem of the cutie mark would be raw. Of course, there are thousands of ways to go about the design and this is just an idea of mine.  I could offer more ideas, but I would need to know a bit more about the character.

You're OC is pretty interestin', and I hope this helped you a bit.

Thank you.

*Sky takes the other stallion's hoof and gets out of the water, cringing a little from the pain in his flank and wing.
Seeing the worried attention he got, he raises his hoof toward the big group of ponies watching and waves.*

Don't worry, I'm fine! Nothing broken!

*He takes a look at the stallion that helped him: he looks like quiet a character, with that colorful mane, the gem-patterned fur and...
He was staring too much.*

Sorry for the startle, pal.  X3


Galacto gave the yellow pegasus an acknowledging nod to his thanks as he helped pulled him up from the water. Once the pegasus was on his hooves, he started to make his way toward the edge of the fountain. The stallion let out a light chuckle as the pegasus apology and shook his head to dismiss the apology; he didn't think it was necessary since he assumed it wasn't the pegasus's fault. As he stepped out of the fountain he replied,

Galacto Treat: Yeah. . . It's not every day you see a pegasus crash into a fountain.

Once he was out of the fountain, the stallion took a moment to see if the water messed up his appearance. As he stared at his reflection in the water, a small frown formed on his face. The scuffle he was a part of earlier left him more ruffed up than he thought. Of course, he could simply remove the uniform but he never really liked walking around without any clothes on. The stallion let out a sigh and tried to make his attire more presentable. Since the odd yellow pegasus caught some of his interest, he decided to keep up the small chat. While he started his bowtie he asked the pegasus,

Galacto Treat: I take that you are new-ish 'round here? I don't think I've seen you before. . . Well, it's not like I know everyone in this chaotic city but I think I would recognize someone like you.

(( I can't tell if you're being sarcastic or not. I would say it's abnormal for me not to post long paragraphs since I do it in the majority of the RPs I have been a part of.))

*Unfortunately for Sky, the breeze he summoned ends up taking him right in the middle of the flying traffic of the city, resulting in a lot of shouting and kicking from the other pegasus ponies and almost an accident.
He just isn't a mundane pony: in every city he visited, this was more or less what to expect from him.
With the slight difference that he's accidentally and literally blowing some ponies away and is feeling observed. Not in a good way.*

Better slip awa-ARGH!

*A strangely powerful kick hits his flank, right in the seagull he has for Cutie Mark, and sending him splashing in a near fountain, in what seems like a shopping centre.*

O-ouch...  >.<

*His flank hurts so much it seems almost to burn and the water doesn't help. And the ache in one of his wings isn't more comforting.*


Galacto was lost in his thoughts as he started at the majestic statues. The longer he looked at them, the more he felt guilty for not learning about their history. Such fine, brass statues of unknown heroes should be known by any pony who dares to step foot on the streets of Maretroplis; or at least that is what he thought after staring at them for so long. But he had enough brass ponies for one day and decided it was time for a change of scenery. As he slowly rose from his bench, a yellow blur crashed into the fountain before him. Like everyone in the general area, Galacto was startled by the crash and fell back onto the bench. Taking a moment to lower his heart beat, he watched the yellow pegasus lay in the water. Galacto was a bit confused by the pegasus; he couldn't tell if he did it on purpose or he really did crash into the fountain. It would be a bit odd if he did crash since the wind speed wasn't that strong today. At first, he didn't care enough to check on the stallion but his Gem-Sigh ability was getting the best of him. He could feel the concern of multiple ponies for the pegasus, and it was starting to become overwhelming. With a sigh, the stallion rose from his seat and started to make his way toward the fountain. As he approached the yellow pegasus he called out,

Galacto Treat: Was that intentional or. . .?

Once he reached the yellow stallion, he was a bit surprised by what he saw. The stallion could feel the pain the yellow pegasus was in, and it was obvious he would have hurt himself by falling into a shallow fountain. With a loud sigh, he joined the stallion in the fountain. With an upbeat tune in his head, he whistled to himself as he made his way through the water. Once he approached the stallion, Galacto extended his hoof out. There was a small smile on his face to show he was being genuine when offering to help him. In a friendly tone he said,

Galacto Treat: I'm guessin' it wasn't. . . . Come on, let's get you out of there.

Been good, nice to see you back.

With a bag of frozen chocolate chips pressed against his cheeks, the stallion sat on the curb in front of the shop with an annoyed expression on his face. Beside the bruise on his face, his uniform took the  majority of the damage. His hat was beyond wearable and his uniform was covered in singe marks. The fight wasn't really spectacular, it was obvious his opponent was new to this "player" fight and she didn't really handle his attacks very well. Sure they caused a bit of pain, but he has yet sent someone to the hospital. Despite the obnoxious opponent and awful location, the stallion was a bit relieved by the event. It has been a while since he was assigned an opponent, and was sure this gave him enough "experience points" to reach level four. A new level means a possibility of a new ability for his power, and he couldn't be more excited about it. The stallion took a look at his hooves; besides being singe by his own power, he didn't feel any more powerful than he did while fighting. That was something he always hated about his powers, they seemed to have some recoil damage. He did use a lot of energy in order to end the fight faster and should have been a bit more careful. Now not only does he have to explain his version of what happened, but he also had to explain the burn marks on his hooves to the officers.

It didn't take long for four officers, and his boss, Mr. Sundea, arrived shortly after. Three of the officers went inside to examine the damage with Mr. Sundea, while one was assigned to interview the gem-eyed stallion. The officer was an earth pony, and a police uniform covered her tan coat and her messy green mane was hidden under her cap. She looked just as thrilled as the stallion did to be standing here. He would offer her a smile, but he could feel that she was annoyed. The stallion didn't know exactly why she was annoyed, but could guess it was because of this petty crime. Neither of them were thrilled to go through this mandatory interview and decided to make this as quick as possible.
Spoiler: With a loud sigh, the Officer pulled out a notepad and began to question the stallion. • show
Mare Officer: Alrighty, let's get this over with. . . What is your name?
???: My name is Galacto Treat. . . . I work here as their Cream Bike Boy.
Mare Officer: Okay Mr. Treat, walk me through what happened.
Galacto Treat: I walked into the shop and was makin' my way toward the back where the Bike is at. As I was goin' behind the counter I noticed the vent was busted and figured that someone must have broken in. I decided to check if anythin' was stolen and then I was jumped.
Mare Officer: Right. . . Since the owner just arrived, how did you enter the shop?
Galacto Treat: The Cream Bike takes a while to load and maneuver out the buildin'. . . My boss, Mr. Sundea, likes the Cream Bikers to leave as the shop opens up so we have to come in early. I do this so often that he has given me a key to the store.
Mare Officer: Okay, okay. . . Now, you enter the building, saw that someone broke in and you didn't call an officer?
Galacto Treat: As you can see, the shop is rather small so when I didn't see anyone I assumed they were already gone.
Mare Officer: But they weren't, and you got jump by them. . . . We have reasons to believe the pony that broke into this place is a player; do you agree.
Galacto Treat: Well since the intruder was an earth pony and I ended up with burnt clothes, I would have to agree.
Mare Officer: . . . Don't get sassy with me, this is all mandatory. . . Anway, can you describe the player that attacked you?
Galacto Treat: I didn't get a good look. . . I could tell the player was a mare, but besides her purple eyes, I didn't get a good look at her. She wore a ski mask and a black suit.
Mare Officer: Right, right. . . . And instead of calling the cops, you decided to fight this player?
Galacto Treat: Yeah, it's sort of hard to dial 9-11 after taking a hot pipe to the face.
Mare Officer: I suppose. . . Just a bit . . . odd. . . Since with the rising numbers of players showing up I must ask, are you a pony who possess any abilities that would make you a "player'?
Galacto Treat: If I had any powers, do you think I would look like this?
Mare Officer: . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
That is all the questions, for now, thank you for your corporation.

The mare finished asking all the questions she had, as the three cops and Mr. Sundea exited the building. Both Galacto and Mr. Sundea were told that it didn't appear like anything was stolen but they would continue to investigate this case and update them if they find a suspect. They also told Galacto that he might be called down for further question and to identify someone. When Sundae asked if he could still open up his shop for the day, he was relieved to hear that he could. Mr. Sundea thanked the ponies in blue for their time, while Galacto watched them pile into their carts and rode off. When the officers were out of sight, the two both let out a sigh as they took a seat on the curb. They two both knew they were never going to hear from the cops again since it was a big crime. Galacto was relieved about it, but he could feel that his boss was a bit bummed out. . . He could also feel his greed, which made him believe he was more upset about losing time to work than actually closing the case. Galacto took a seat on the curb and contiued to hold the bag of thawed chocolate chips to his cheek. Mr. Sundea-brown earth pony with a short curly mane-joined Galacto on the curb. Mr. Sundea took a moment to glance at his watch and sighed as he saw what time it was; the shop should be opening in half an hour. Galacto glanced over at the stallion's watch, but returned his blank gaze forward. He was still annoyed by the officer's question, and personally couldn't care less about working. Mr. Sundea noticed his employee's behavior and let out a loud sigh. In an attempt to lighten the mood, Mr. Sundea said,

Mr. Sundea: It don't look like too much got broke, so I guess I don't gotta take it out of your paycheck. I must say, whatever you did make that player run for the hills; didn't steal one thing. Bit odd since we don't lock that register, but guess that mean I should be grateful. I think I'm gonna open a bit later today and get some employees to help with the mess in the back. . . Since you sort of "saved the day", I'll give ya today off; no pay though. Just make sure you fix that ugly mug of yours; can't have you scaring the kids.

Mr. Sundea let out a roar of laughter at his own joke, while Galacto gave him a few patronizing chuckles. As much as his bossed annoyed him, Galacto would be lying if he said he didn't like him. As he tossed the bag of chocolate chips to his boss he replied,

Galacto Treat: Ha. . . .Thanks old man. I can work happy hour, if you need the extra help.

In repsonse to Galacto's offer, Mr. Sundea simply chuckled and shooed him away. A few of  the shop's employees were slowly arriving, and by their annoyed expression Galacto assumed they heard about the break in. A small grin formed across his face as he waved off the unlucky employees. He took a moment to adjust his burnt hat, and then started to make his way down the streets of Maretroplis.




After a twenty minute walk, Galacto arrived at the busiest part of Maretroplis: The Shopping District. Not only are there many shops and resturants to enjoy, but there is where most of the action is. Both good and bad players are often seen here, and that is why many civiliens flock to it every day. Regardless if there are errands to be run or they just want a cup of coffee, deep down the ponies hope to see some hot battles. To Galacto, it was a surreal place to be. Maybe it was part of him being a player or maybe it was part of him knowing other players are nearby; whatever it was, it made him feel like he was on a different planet everytime he visit here.  He never really shopped in the stores or ate at the cafes; he tend to just walk around and listen to the street music. Galacto walked and stop to listen to music, till reached the Equestrian Fountain. After living her for a while, Galacto still had no idea who the ponies these statues were deticated to. It never really interested him enough to ask someone or look it up, but he did enjoy sitting on a bench and watch others throws coins in it. After picking an open bench, Galacto took out his cellphone and opened up his email. There were three unread messages from the "Ursa Major's Ring" site: one from midnight and one from a few minutes ago.

Galacto decided to open the one from minute and frowned as he read it. There it was, the email telling him about the fight that was going to take place. Galacto let out a sigh as he closed the message; he made a mental note to inform one of the Mods on the site that the location was his work place. He then opened the second email ; it was a congratulation email for him leveling up to four. A large grin formed across his face as he read the email over and over again. Although this "Fight Club" is illegal, Galacto couldn't help but enjoy being part of it. He figured since he did agree to these powers, he might as well work hard to level himself up; it was also a nice way to make some cash on the side. Learning that he leveled up was great and all, but he wanted to see how much they were going to pay him for the fight earlier. It didn't seem like he recieved any other emails than these two, which caused his grin to fall a bit. He knew the lower level players don't get paid as well as the higher ones, but he was one of the few unlucky members to not get paid often. It was mostly because his powers weren't really. . . flashy so his fighters were never too interesting to live stream. The site also  had a rule about showing your face, and for the sake of protecting its user it made it manitory for each player to have a costume. He couldn't afford to make a cool costume, so he always ended up looking like a lame cat burgaly. These two factors made him want to level up faster, and hurry up and get his costume. Galacto broke from his negative train of thoughts, and turn his attention on the foutain. The stallion let out a sigh as he watched a few pigeons play in the water.

At the heart of Maretroplis, a stallion with the eyes of two amethyst stones was quietly making his way through the busy streets. Despite how bright his eyes were, a distressed expression was on his face; the crowds and police activity always made him nervous. He made an effort to make sure his uniform cap was hiding the majority of his face in an attempt to keep himself from making eye contact with anyone. Although it didn't do him much good, his face was a bit well known in the area. If his uniform and cutie mark didn't give it away, he was an Ice Cream Stallion and he was attempting to make his way toward his job. The purple stallion worked at a local ice cream bar and was in charge of selling ice cream via, Cream Bike. Each day he was assigned to a different part of Maretroplis, and today he was unlucky enough to work the shopping district of the city. There was always some sort of crime happening there, and always some sort of super-powered criminal scaring the civilians. The stallion let out a sigh as he thought about all the sells he won't be making today since not too many ponies scared out of their mind would stop to buy any treats. But the crime wasn't a bit of his concern, it was the Cream Bike. For the past few months, many criminals have been breaking into his workplace to rob the store of either cash or equipment. None of the criminals have made it far enough to reach the Cream Bike, but the possibility always made him anxious. He hated working in the shop, and the Cream Bike was his only way of escaping his fate behind the cash register.

Along the way to his job, he was slowly approaching a local television shop. The shop had a glass window that would show off how well the owner's televisions worked. Like many other curious ponies, the stallion always made an effort to stop for a bit to see what was currently airing. Once he approached the window, he joined two business ponies in front of the window and took a glance at the screens. A large frown formed across his face as he saw that the news was on. The news station was covering a crime that took place this morning involving a super power pony robbing bank. The stallion let continued to stare blankly at the screen as the report continued to talk since bank robberies were so common it was starting become boring to hear. Although he wore a blank stare, the news made him even more anxious. Every time these super powered ponies commit a crime, it  caused more police officers to be more active in the area. The two business ponies left the screen when they realized it was just a bank robbery, but gem-eyed stallion stayed to see where the robbery was. After watching the news for a bit, a loud sigh fell from his frown; the bank was within the shopping district. The stallion was not only annoyed but impressed by how unlucky he was today. As more ponies crowded around the shop, the ice cream stallion decided to continue his way toward his workplace. He made an attempt to walk extra slow to spare him some time away from the shopping district. After a bit of negativity flooding his thoughts, the stallion decided to whistle a happy tone. He always made an effort to arrive at his job with a positive attitude, since he believed ice cream was sold best with a smile. So with his whistle getting lost within the noise of the city, the stallion slowly approached his destination.

After a finally fighting his way through the crowd of ponies, the stallion finally made it to his workplace. The establishment was a tiny building with the words "Smiling Sundae" painted on it. He took a moment to stare into the window of the establishment to look at his own reflection. The stallion took great pride in his appearance, and was making sure he his appearance met his own standards. As he gazed from the window, he was staring into a dark shop. It didn't surprise him that not even the owner was there since anyone who was on Cream Bike duty had to arrive half an hour before the shop was open and he did the job often he was trusted to have his own key to the shop. After he made sure he looked fine, he fished the key out of his shirt pocket and made his way through the door. While he continued to whistle his tune, he slowly unlocked the door and made his way inside. As his tune slowly filled the silent room, the stallion closed the door behind him and made his way through the empty shop. He took a moment to examine the interior of the shop while he made his way toward the back. Even though he hated working indoors, he adored how the owner was able to make this tiny shop appear like a  retro ice cream parlor. As much as he would love to stay here and appreciate the interior in silence, he had a boss he would like to avoid. While he made his way behind the counter, the stallion decided to look up at the menu. The menu featured all 20 flavours the shop had and all the different ways these flavours could be ordered. He stared at the menu for a bit, before his gaze drifted toward the corner of the shop. His gaze fell upon the vent and saw that the grate was missing from it. With a blank expression, he looked down at the floor of the shop and saw that the bent grate on the floor. His whistling died down a bit as he crouched to examine the grate better. It appeared that the sides were deformed in a manner that he assumed was caused by it being exposed to extreme heat. The stallion's clicked his tongue as he came to that conclusion; he was really wishing to avoid anything like this today.

As he slowly rose up from the floor, a soft thud came from the back of the shop. The stallion's ear twitched as he turned his head toward the source of the news. His frown deepened even more as his whistling slowly picked back up;  he was hoping whoever came was only here for the register. Hearing the noise come from the back only made this whole situation more annoying; the Cream Bike was locked away in the freezer. If any other of his co-workers were here, they would have most likely called the police already, but this stallion preferred to keep the police as far away from his as possible. With his tune still filling the air, he made his way toward the back.

What was waiting the stallion in the back of the shop was a rather odd situation. There was a rather small earth pony mare with a pink mane and lime green coat. She was wearing all black and a ski mask that revealed her purple eyes. She was waiting by the entrance to the back of the store with a pipe she melted off the wall. The average earth pony wouldn't have been able to do what she just did, but she was rather special. She was given the opportunity to get free powers and she happily accepted. Of course, breaking into ice cream shops wasn't the best way for her to spend her days as a super powered pony, but she had a reason to be here. Just like the stallion slowly making his way to the back, she was part of the "Ursa Major's Ring"; an illegal fighting club that super powered ponies could compete in. But unlike the stallion, she checks her emails every other second and was aware that this sudden match was supposed to take place. The mare decided to use this to her advantage and decided to use the element of surprise on him. With each hoof step closing in on her location, the mare heated up the pipe with her power: Melting Touch. As the mare saw the tip of the Stallion's hat entering through the doorway, she used all her strength to bat at her opponent.

As the pipe slowly approached the stallion's face, he quickly caught it with his right hoof. The mare's smile slowly faded away as her gaze met the stallion's cold gems. The stallion recognized the mare as soon as he saw her eyes, and let out a sigh; another thing to add to his "bad luck for the day" list. As he held onto the pipe, something odd was happening within the stallion. His free hoof was flashing a dim light of multi neon colours, and he could feel the rush of energy flooding his body. The stallion exhaled loudly as he said to his opponent.

???: This day. . . is going to be . . . a long one.

As the final word fell from his breath, the stallion pulled at the pipe and delivered a hit full of energy that many of the other players of this "super power game" named: Stellar Energy.

Florenza exhaled loudly as Eques brought up the holiday; she could think of twenty places she rather be celebrating it than in this town. She placed her elbows on the counter and rested her chin on her hooves while the mare continued to talk. As she let out a sigh she replied,

Florenza von Linné: You could celebrate Sweet Hearts Day anywhere, and probably better. I am not even sure where to go for this special occasion. . .

The mare started to trail off the subject the more she thought about the day. She began to mumble about her own plans. Florenza wasn't talking to Eques but she was thinking out loud. As her gaze drifted off Eques and she placed a hoof over her mouth, she mumbled,

[I]Florenza von Linné: All the restaurants are most likely reserved. . .  I doubt I can make it back to my apartment quick enough to get the gift, and there is no way any shops will actually have any gifts left. The more I think about it, the more I think this is going to be a bust. . . I mean, I have a pretty face but apparently that is not good enough these days. This is unfair, I deserve to have at least one nice day out with a nice face and a free meal, but I doubt this will actually go my way today. He is so awkward, and I bet he will just freeze up when I tell him our plans. . . Augh, this day is going to end on a boring note. . .[/I]

Once she was dome blathering, her gaze shifted back to Eques. She didn't realize she mumbled so much, and continued on from what she said before she got side tracked,

Florenza von Linné: That is my opinion though. Others somehow find it interesting. . . You could always . .  . look at the shops? They are okay, I guess. The forest is definitely worth checking out, but that is about it. . . You could go to Canterlot, but you are not a unicorn or appear to be rich so you might not have that much fun there. You know, it might just be me, but Equestria is rather a boring nation. . . I guess my opinion is a bit bias, I am sure you have found at least one place interesting while you explored the land. . .

Thanks for the wishes! Its nothin serious
so no need to worry too much.

172
Okay, I'm really sick. I'll try to post, but
my head is really foggy.
173
A proud grin formed on Florenza's face when Eques gave her name a compliment. Beside her appearance, Florenza thought her name was the best thing about her. She was always happy to hear others say nice thing about her name, and would never grow tire of hearing it. With a bit of life in her tone she replied,

[Color=tomato]Florenza von Linné: Is it not a beautiful name? To think it is my birth name; how lucky am I? . . . Eques is not a common name and it suits you fine. It is nothing flashy but simple names are sometimes the best names. . . I do not meet many ponies who will take the time to say my full name, so I would say you are lucky to have a simple name. [/color]

The mare's grin fell by the time she finished rambling. She wished more ponies would take the time to say her full name; she always loved hearing her name said by others. But right now isn't the best time to dwell on herself, she got bigger fish to fry. A small smile formed across her face as she continued,

[Color=tomato]Florenza von Linné: I agree, the world is full of beautiful backgrounds for a photo shoot. With my colour scheme, my portfolio is full of nature shoots. Hopefully you will get to start that book soon, it will be much easier to pick places to travel based on the words of a traveler.[/color]

Thinking about all the places Eques could have traveled made her grin; so many ponies she could had met. To her surprised, Eques was more concern about the scenery; which Florenza couldn't blame her. Florenza's cutie mark was a sunflower for a reason, and nature was the only thing that didn't bother her. But what did bother her was the fact that Eques decided to stop by this town. Florenza herself didn't live her and she found the town rather boring; the only thing keeping her here was a possible modeling gig. The mare wanted to know why a traveler would bother to come here, but she sort of assumed the reason was just to add another place to their list. With a sigh, the mare stated,

[Color=tomato]Florenza von Linné: I hate to say this, but you are wasting your time here. This town is painfully boring, and besides the EverFree forest there is nothing worth you seeing. . . Unless you are here for the sake of saying you traveled everywhere. It is a shame you have to waste your time here. [/color]

Florenza's plain expression returned when the mare brought up about her upbringing; she had a feeling it was something along those lines. The mare let out a sigh and said,

[B]Florenza von Linné: [/b]Oh, a quiet upbringing. . . I should have figured that was it. You act like one of my. . . . [I]friends[/I] and he was brought up the same way. . .  I would say a bit more extreme by how he behaves.

The mare would usually be annoyed about talking about that friend, but today was a special day and didn't want to ruin it. Besides, Eques didn't seem half as annoying as that friend so no need to be rude. Though, her being a traveler did give her an idea. If this mare travels so much then she must meet tons of other ponies. . . . A small grin formed across Florenza's face as her tiny plan started to sprout to life. In the nicest tone she could possibly do, the mare stated,

[Color=tomato]Florenza von Linné: I will show you around town! It is the least I can do for a fellow traveler. My name is Florenza von Linné, but you can just call me Florenza! It's so nice to meet another traveler, I bet you have tons of interesting stories to share! [/color]

Same boat as Purple, my grandparent's internet isn't the best.
Sorry for the delay!

The more Eques talked, the more confused Florenza became. She was used to the behavior of the average colourful pony, but this one seemed different. Eques seemed extra warm and extra friendly; even Florenza felt a bit at ease with her around. . . . Which made her feel even more confused. A bit flustered, the mare reached out for the bits and said,

[Color=tomato]Florenza von Linné: It is a muffin . . . Well, I mean, I guess a muffin is bread. . . Yeah, Happy Day to you too. . . [/color]

Her hard frown soften to a small frown as she placed the bits in the register. Her curiosity of the mare's origin was getting the best of her and she asked,

[Color=tomato]Florenza von Linné: Where are you from? You said you had to explore the rest of the town so you are a tourist, correct?[/color]

Eques looks in surprise seeing the pastries. She has not seen pastries like hers in Equestria.

Eques: I do not find these disgusting. These actually look delectable.

She picks one up, which will be the cranberry muffin. After taking a bite, a sound from her mouth came through, and smiling.

Eques: Mmm... this is truly delectable. I really thank you. I shall offer you a trade for bits of gold you ponies call bits. I recall the land of Equestria trade with gold bits?


Florenza's raised eyebrow started to twitch at the sight of Eques. She was annoyed to see that she took a bite without paying, since if the mare didn't have the money Florenza would end up paying for it. She also thought Eques behavior was a bit off. Not many tourist visit this place, but the few that do don't act the way she did. She thought the mare was acting a bit off. Since she was never the type to filter her words, the mare quickly spoke her thoughts,

[Color=tomato]Florenza von Linné: First off, you have to pay for your dessert before you can eat it. And yes, we accept "gold bits".[/color]

The mare went to punch in Eques order, but it looked like someone already turned it off and locked it. The mare let out a sigh as she rolled her eyes; she was starting to think she will miss her chance with her soon to be sweet heart the longer she had to stay here. While she turned on the register and search for the key, the mare figured she could give some advice to the stranger. Eques behavior made Florenza think she was a tourist, and could relate to traveling to an unknown area. As she continued to work her magic on the register, the mare said,

[Color=tomato]Florenza von Linné: I assume you are not from Equestria. Let me give you some advice, learn the culture of the area. I have traveled across seas for some modeling, and I attempted to learn the behavior and language of the place I was staying at. Its best to blend in rather than appear like a tourist. [/color]

A soft chime came from the register as it open. Turning her attention back to Eques she continued,

[Color=tomato]Florenza von Linné: Your grand total is three bits. Is there anything else you would like?[/color]

//ahhhh, gosh, sorry, I'm in the midst of some exams and I've been revising in almost all of my free time, I'll do my best to actually be around when I can though

Tale Teller was relieved that the other pony served enough of a distraction for Florenza that they had more time to drag up another answer. Again, their rosy eyes darted about, looking for anything to help. The earth pony looked back down at the table, chewing nervously on their lip as they concocted a hopefully suitable answer.


((No worries, we all know that pain. Focus on the exams, the RP will always be here! Good luck with them! c: ))
[Hr]

At a booth not too far from Tale Teller, two mares were pretending to clean the table as they watched Florenza lecture the costumer. One of the mare was a unicorn with a dark brown coat and a short, curly, blue mane; while the other was a Pegasus with a pale pink coat and a long, wavy, gold mane. The two were smirking while they watched Florenza; they always thought how she handle costumers was humorous. But as soon as Florenza said "model", both of their grins fell to a frown. The brown mare let out a sigh, while the golden mane mare rolled her eyes.
[Spoiler=The two turned their attention back at Florenza, and began to whisper to each other.][Color=brown]??: There it is. I knew she couldn't go one conversation without bringing up her being a model.[/color]

[Color=goldenrod]???: It's a bit annoyin', but I would be the same if I was her. . . . But a bit more friendly.[/color]

[Color=brown]??: Even though she isn't popular, you would think it would make her somewhat happy.[/color]

[Color=goldenrod]???: Yeah, all her photos are nice but she gives off that "I really wish I wasn't here right now" vibe.[/color]

[Color=brown]??: You would think on set she would not be bored, but that same bored look in her eyes are still there. For example, did you see her recent wine ad? It was for Heart and Hooves Day I believe. She looked lovely, but that bored look was still in her eyes.[/color]

[Color=goldenrod]???: Ehh? She had a recent ad? I didn't see it, but I wouldn't be surprised. She gotta work on faking her expressions better. . . Maybe trying for some bigger gigs too. [/color]

[Color=brown]??: She is not that good for bigger stuff. She might be pretty, but looks will take you so far. . . I got to meet my Sweet Heart soon, so let us not sit around chit chatting. I am sure you have plans, correct?[/color]

[Color=goldenrod]???: Yea', I do! My. . . [/color][/spoiler]

The two rose from their spots at the booth while they continued their conversation. The two mares were as eager as Florenza to leave the Cafe, so they didn't want to waste much more of their time sitting. But the cafe was just about cleaned up, and all was left for the two last costumers to leave. No one was too concern about the costumers; if they stayed past the time to leave they know a mare with a large sunflower cutie mark would stay to handle them.

(( They may be hornets, but you should
put a description of the creature, even if
Raven doesn't know what it is. I also can't
control a situation if I don't know what my character
is in. ))

[Color=silver]Argemisia: Well, I am working my way down a tree right now so no. Once I am on the jungle floor I'll figure something out. Not to worry though, I figure if I don't act hostile neither will they.[/color]

The mare said rather confident as she continued her way down the tree. The winged creatures still haven't bothered her; which she was a bit relieved about. Their appearance did bother her though. She never saw a creature likes this before, and felt a bit nervous about them flying around. But for her own sake, she tried to stay calm so she could successfully make it down the tree.

Florenza raised an eyebrow as the mare spoke about some kind of. . . . mask? By how confident the mare was, she figured she was trying to be symbolic. Maybe even try to impress her? She sort of doubt she was trying to impress her, since the mare had no reason though. Regardless the mare's words, Florenza's facial expression was still plain. The mare looked back at the pastries left to see if anything was worth selling. There was only a few: banana bread, strawberry cupcakes, and cranberry muffin. Turning her gaze back to Eques she stated,

[Color=tomato]Florenza von Linné:Since majority of the pastries are. . . . disgusting. . . . I will give you a my employee discount. Happy Sweet Hearts Day.[/color]
