- >You push through the bar door, the autumn chill nipping at your heels
- >It's ffffffriday night
- >muthafuckas
- >And you're going to celebrate the only way you know how
- >By getting rip-roaring drunk
- >And having a great time doing it
- >You stomp right up to the bar and claim a stool
- >Right next to your best drinking buddy
- >er, p0ny
- >mare
- >Whatever
- >She's nursing a mug of cider
- Awww come on Derpy! You started without me
- >"Whadaya expect me to do, Anon? I can't help it if you're always late!"
- >You laugh
- Fair enough
- >Then you turn and grin at the bartender
- Barkeep, I'll have the usual
- >The bartender smiles back at you
- >Your... rather special requirements are a significant part of what keeps him in business
- >He reaches under the bar and produces a mug
- >And a bottle of AppleJack's finest
- >AppleJack Daniels
- >The first time you came to this place you tried that cider, yeah
- >Shit's weak, yo
- >Way too weak
- >Even this AppleJack Daniels is weak, compared to the real stuff back home
- >But that doesn't mean you can't still get drunk off it
- >So you yank the stopper out of the bottle
- >And pour yourself a glass
- So how's your week been, Derpy?
- >"Ah, the usual. Work's is fun"
- >She brightens up
- >"And I only had one job related accident for the whole week!"
- Derpy, that's great!
- >"I know, right!"
- >She takes a swallow of her drink
- >"What about you, huh? How's your week going?"
- Oh, you know. Work's a bitch, Lyra won't leave me alone...
- >you take a slug of liquor
- The usual
- >A few more mugs later, and you're well on your way to being toasted
- >Further into the bar, there's a commotion
- >Tables and chairs are shoved roughly back against the walls
- >And a platform is hustled out by strong earth p0nies
- >They pile speaker after speaker on the edges
- >Oh no
- >Then the speakers boom to life
- >"Alright everyp0ny, I wanna see some dancing right here, right now!"
- >Then the music kicks in
- >You look down at Derpy
- >Derpy looks back up at you
- >"Come on Anon! Let's dance!"
- >You sigh and grab your mug, swigging deeply
- >She grabs your hand with her hoof and drags you off towards the dance floor
- >You splutter and nearly spray AppleJack's finest everywhere
- >"Woah Anon, What's the matter?"
- I cashuwasa...
- >"You what?"
- I kanaanpatata...
- >She stops dragging you and flutters somewhat unsteadily up to eye level
- >"I can't hear you Anon, what were you saying?"
- I can't dance, okay?
- >"So? I can't dance either! You think that's going to stop me from enjoying myself?" she shouts over the music
- >This friggen mare man
- >She's right
- >Either her upbeat, shining attitude is infectious
- >Or this booze is getting to you more than you realize
- >You finish off the last of your mug and set it on a convenient table
- >Either way, you're going to have a good time
- >You take Derpy by her front hooves and head off towards the dance floor
- You're right. Let's dance
- >"Allright, that's what I like to hear!"
- >You and Derpy hit the dance floor like a sledgehammer
- >Literally
- >You wouldn't be surprised if they find holes in the floor tomorrow morning
- >The music is of the fast paced, techy sort variety where any kind of dancing is acceptable
- >And your dancing fits the bill
- >Just barely
- >You and Derpy spin and pirouette, dart and dash through the crowd, pulling off wild moves that can only be done with a drunk human and a none-too-sober, adventurous pegasus
- >Sometimes you lead
- >Sometimes she leads
- >And sometimes you're not quite sure what's happening
- >Well, most of the time, actually
- >You're drawing eyes everywhere
- >Good eyes, bad eyes
- >You don't care
- >You're moving with the music
- >and it feels good
- >When your face is red and you find yourself panting, you release Derpy's hooves
- >And head back over to the bar
- >There are several dissapointed "Awwwww!"s from the table section of the restaurant
- >A panting Derpy follows in your wake, taking advantage of the path you clear through the crowd
- >"Boy Anon, you really know how to show a mare a good time"
- No I don't
- >You say, pouring yourself a fresh mug from the bottle still on the bar
- >"What?"
- I have no idea what I just did
- >"Well, whatever it was, I enjoyed it"
- >good for her
- >You raise your arm and wave down the bar
- Hey bartender, can I get a burger over here? I'm famished!
- >The bartender makes his way down the bar
- >"Comin' right up"
- >Then he addresses Derpy
- >"Anything I can get for you, miss?"
- >She makes a show of bringing her hoof up to her chin
- >"mmmmmmm, I'll have the tofu burger"
- >One burger and a few more mugs later, and you're definitely feeling the buzz
- >And from the rosy red shade of Derpy's cheeks, so is she
- >You struggle temporarily for a conversation topic
- So, how was your burger?
- >"Tasty, same as always"
- Good, good...
- >Christ, this feels like a date
- >The speakers saves you the trouble of searching for further conversation topics
- >The music stops, then the mic experiences some ear-rending feedback
- >Then a mare's voice comes up
- >"You all know what time it is?"
- >"NO!" Responds the crowd
- >"IT'S KARIOKI TIME!"
- >The crowd issues general roar of approval
- >Derpy flaps her wings and gets up off her stool
- Where ya goin'?
- >"I'm gonna sing!
- Well good luck to ya then
- >She flaps her wings and rockets off in the general direction of the stage
- >One rather bubbly rendition of "Poison" later, and Derpy wobbles her way back over the crowd
- >She lands rather hard a few feet away from the bar stool, and walks the rest of the distance
- Ya did good!
- >"You really think so?"
- Hell yeah! look out Fleur, here comes Derpy!
- >She resumes her position at the bar stool
- >"Heh, thanks Anon. You should get up there"
- Y'know what? I think I will
- >You get up off your own stool and head for the stage
- Wish me luck
- >"Good luck Anon!"
- thanks
- >By the time you get to the stage, a few singers of wildly varying quality have passed
- >You head have a quick conversation with the mare running the technical booth
- >Then you head up onto the stage
- >The crowd quickly quietens at the sight of such a strange creature as it picks up the microphone
- >"Wasn't he that dancing stallion from earlier?"
- >"I heard he's from another planet!"
- Alright mares and gentlestallions
- >The crowd quietens even further
- I appreciate this new techno stuff, I really do
- >You smile
- But sometimes, you just gotta get back to your roots
- >You raise your arm
- SO ARE YOU READY TO MAKE SOME NOISE?
- >"YEAH!"
- ALL RIGHT
- >you wave at the mare, who starts the song
- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oVo8g7T39A4
- >The crowd is eating the song right up
- >Great
- >You sweep your eyes over it as you sing and gesture
- >And a smaller knot at the back catches your eye
- >You resolve to keep an eye on it
- >A smaller p0ny is in the middle of a semicircle of larger p0nies
- >He looks cornered
- >You'll speak up if he's reall-
- >OH FUCK
- >To your mounting horror, the p0ny seizes a metal folding chair
- >The only one in the bar
- >And heaves it towards the stage
- >The entire everything stops with the sound of a skipping record as it sails through the air in seeming slow motion
- >Then it lands, with the squeaky CLANG of doom
- >All is silent for a microsecond
- >Then IT BEGINS
- >"I'm mad!" shouts a particularly angry stallion
- >then somep0ny throws a punch
- >And the entire crowd turns into a roiling bar fight
- >You would love to join in on this bar fight
- >The urge is almost overwhelming
- >But you've already used up all your barfight-related injury downtime for the month
- >You can't afford to get hurt too badly
- >You're about to make for the door when you remember your drinking buddy
- >Potential injury or not, you're not leaving Derpy behind
- >You use your temporarily safe, elevated island in the brawl to peer out to the actual bar itself
- >Derpy's desperately avoiding the advances of a stallion who looks even drunker than you
- >She's too drunk to fly
- >Damnit
- >You're going to regret this
- >You plunge off the stage and into the roiling melee
- >In hindsight, a song about fighting probably wasn't the best one to sing
- >Oh well
- >The fighting's not too bad at the moment
- >It's still gearing up
- >So you reach the bar with minimal damage
- >The bartender scoots through the door to the back pushing a cart with the last of the booze, save your bottle on the bar
- >He kicks it shut behind him and you hear a wooden plank drop across the inside
- >Shit
- >That route's closed
- >Turning your attention to Derpy, you see the stallion almost has her
- >Not on your watch
- >You execute a masterful flying butterfly kick on his ass
- >No
- >Not really
- >You do a running jump kick and knock him over, true
- >But you also land on your ass
- >Fuck
- >That's going to bruise
- >Oh well, no time for that
- >You spring to your feet as quickly as your body will allow
- We're getting out of here
- >Then you seize Derpy under your arm like an oversized football
- >In your other hand you take the bottle from the bar
- >You paid for that shit, you're going to finish it
- >First you take a nice pull straight from the bottle
- >Then you take off in a footballer's sprint for the door
- >You dodge
- >you feint
- >you jump
- >you punt
- >And eventually, through some minor miracle, you reach and make use of the door without major injury to yourself or Derpy
- >When you're a safe distance from the bar, you stop and set Derpy down
- >She wobbles for a moment, then sits down on her haunches
- >"Tha wash one hell of a fight! How'd it get schtarted?"
- >Damn, she must have had a lot more than you thought while you were up on the stage
- Metal folding chair
- >"Ah. That trick never failsh."
- >There's a brief pause, which you utilize to take another pull from the bottle
- >"Well, I'll shee you around, Anon"
- >She gets up more than a little unsteadily and flaps her wings
- Wait
- >She stops
- >"Whasha matter?"
- You're in no condition to be flying, you can hardly walk
- >The walleyed mare snorts
- >"You're not much better yourshelf"
- Yeah, but I don't live in the clouds, now do I?
- >"nooo...."
- Come on, you can stay at my place tonight
- >"Thanksh Anon"
- >Your assumption proves to be true, as half way back to your house Derpy wobbles, then almost falls over
- >You consider the bottle in your hand
- >Eh
- >It's empty anway
- >You pitch it off into the woods and pick her up
- >"Woah!"
- Chill, I got you
- >"I wash getting tired anyway..."
- >You give a mental shrug and continue your journey
- >She's surprisingly light
- >Must have something to do with flying all the time
- >A few minutes later, and you're at your house
- >You stumble through the front door and place Derpy on the couch
- >Then you sit down next to her in companionable silence
- >You'd get up and go to your own room
- >But you're really tired at the moment
- >So you choose to remain on the couch next to Derpy
- >"Anon, I like you"
- >Christ, that was straight out of the clear blue sky
- Well sure Derpy, I like you too
- >"You're one of the only p0nehs... people... whatever. You treat me like a real p0neh. You don't look at me funny becaush of my eyesh"
- >Derpy shifts over and leans up against your left side, resting her head on your shoulder
- >"Anon, I LIKE like you
- You like like me...
- >"Yeah. I do"
- >Oh
- >Well this is an interesting development
- >One you're having trouble caring too much about at the moment
- >You're just so tired
- >And warm, with Derpy practically laying on you
- >You could fall asleep right here...
- >A light snore to your left tells you this is exactly what Derpy has done
- >And you don't see any reason why you shouldn't get to as well...
