- > Son of a bi-
- > Is all you have time for before slamming into the ground face first for the second time in under forty eight hours.
- > Okay that would bruise if it could.
- > Which one of the Gods is getting the biggest laugh out of this?
- > Is this going to just keep happening until every one of them has taken a shot at you?
- > For that matter, why in Kyber does this keep happening.
- > It's not like you've never been teleported before.
- > You also wonder if it really will happen every time you teleport.
- > Then you wonder why your are still laying face down in the dirt.
- > Up you get!
- > Once more on your feet you take in the scene.
- > You're outside of Sugercube corner again, this time there are several p0nies, both inside and around the building.
- > However none of them are moving, and the area is totally silent.
- > Save Twilight who looked concerned, every p0ny looks like they are scared.
- > You wonder how Twilight didn't see that coming.
- > Twilight breaks the silence.
- > "Sorry about that, are you alright"
- > You nod.
- > "You sure, that was a pretty nasty fall?"
- "Yesterdays fall was much worse."
- > As soon as you speak half the p0nies take off like The Devourer has just descended on the town.
- > The half that remain are all whispering amongst themselves.
- > It doesn't bother you though, soon enough they won't care.
- > That's how it went when people had a real reason to fear you, now they don't.
- > You where an oddity here, not a reminder.
- > Something strange and fearsome.
- > You where okay with strange, after all, you are.
- > Fearsome, thats an appearance you would like to change.
- > Ah but how?
- > You are confident the guardsmen were a step in the right direction.
- > What else could you really do to influence the opinion directly?
- > Wait and see for now.
- > Time is always on your side anyway.
- > You attempt you knock the dirt off but fail.
- > Stone hands, great for holding things in a death grip.
- > Fantastic for punching things.
- > They could even channel magic well, provided you knew how too perform said feat..
- > You don't, but you know that you could with a few years of training.
- > Fine manipulation was difficult but possible.
- > However it was only possible with tools or modifications to the hands for whatever purpose you needed.
- > Cleaning, even wiping dirt away, is still a fine manipulation, and you have sweet nothing to assist you.
- > Okay start forming a list of things you need to acquire.
- > Start with a bag, work your way up from there.
- > Meeting first, bag later.
- > You gesture towards the door of Sugercube corner.
- "Shall we?"
- > She starts walking towards the door and you follow.
- > The door is open and you can see a few p0nies indoors.
- > You recognize Pinkie Pie, but none of the others.
- > You wonder how long it will be before the place clears out.
- > You'll need to find a way to make up for Pinkie Pie's lost business on your account.
- > You doubt anyone would actually blame you, but it wouldn't sit right with you regardless.
- > The bakery is far from packed, but there is a rather large crows inside.
- > As soon as you enter what little conversation was occurring ceases instantly.
- > Twilight walks up to the counter and begins speaking with a pink haired, blue earth p0ny.
- > A blue earth p0ny who's eyes are locked on you.
- > "Heya Miss Cake, is Pinkie around?"
- > Shes so intent on staring at you that she misses the question entirely.
- > "Miss Cake?"
- > Still nothing.
- > Twilight waves a hoof in front of her face.
- > "Yoohoo, Misses Cake?"
- > The blue p0ny, evidently Miss Cake, shakes her head and blinks a few times before speaking.
- > "Oh I'm terribly sorry dear, your friend here just looks so... um... interesting."
- > You chuckle at her attempt to be polite.
- > Well at least she tried.
- "Interesting is not among the usual terms I hear. Thank you."
- > You chuckle as you remember having been called a 'walking piece of furniture with eyes' as well as many other less pleasant names.
- > Twilight is look at you side ways with her head cocked.
- > Her eyes slide back over to Miss Cake and she once again speaks.
- > "Riiiiight, anyway. Is Pinkie Pie in today Miss Cake?
- > She brightens up immediately.
- > "Oh of course deary, shes just baking in the back right now."
- > Twilight looks at you and then back to Miss Cake.
- > "Is it alright if I go back and talk to her for a while?"
- > You really want to ask why but then you remember, you're tracking dirt everywhere.
- > You may be immune to disease, but p0nies probably aren't.
- > Probably.
- > Twilight takes her leave of you, heading into the kitchen to find Pinkie Pie.
- > This leaves you with a blue earth p0ny, and several patrons.
- > It strikes you as odd that they haven't fled.
- > They are all staring at you however.
- > You wonder if you should...
- > You could...
- > But do you really want to?
- > Yes, yes you do.
- > Without any warning you immediately burst into dance.
- > Now they have a reason to stare.
- > There is a Warforged standing in the middle of a bakery, dancing.
- > Odd wouldn't describe this sight in your homeland.
- > Here?
- > The Gods chuckled when you slammed into the ground.
- > Now they're laughing themselves to tears.
- > So are most of the p0nies in the establishment.
- > You really don't care.
- > An old friend had told you 'People are always gonna stare at ya, might as well give em something worth watching.'
- > So you dance like a dunce in the middle of the bakery.
- > And you know what?
- > It's fun.
- > You're dancing like an idiot.
- > Your movements are jerky and erratic.
- > You could barely consider it dancing.
- > There's no rhythm or beat, no rhyme or reason to what you're doing.
- > Yet you step to one anyway.
- > The laughing is quickly replaced by what sounds like stomping.
- > You see them in a circle around you, most are smiling, some are laughing, all are stomping.
- > It's either applauding or an insult.
- > Doesn't matter to you though.
- > You do however notice that both Pinkie Pie and Twilight have come back in to see what the spectacle is.
- > So it's time to wrap this up.
- > How though?
- > Theres no music, you're just dancing around like a moron.
- > Eh no choice, a simple ending is all you can manage for this.
- > A simple spin and tap and you're out.
- > A quick bow and a salute.
- > A round of thunderous stomping and cheering.
- > Well not thunderous, but for the maybe twenty p0nies watching it's pretty loud.
- > The p0nies in the circle eventually dissipate now that the show is over.
- > All save three that is.
- > Miss Cake is still at the counter, Twilight and Pinkie are both laughing over what they just saw.
- > After a few minutes they manage to calm themselves down.
- > Sort of.
- > Pinkie manages to say through fits of laughter.
- > "An... Anon... You looked... Hilarious doing that! You oughta go dance in town square... I won't even need to introduce you to everyp0ny!
- > You laugh as well.
- > Funny, that stunt would have been frowned upon back home.
- > Here, it seems that having a screw or two loose is a good way to make friends.
- > That may have been more accurate than you would have liked, but oh well.
- > Nothing you can do but ride it out.
- > And you have a feeling...
- > This is gonna be a pretty wild ride.
