"Raise."
>"Fold."
>"yeah Fold"
"Spike, you in?"
>Spike looks over at his two other friends Thunderlane and Big Mac who immediately Folded as soon as they looked at Anon's face.
>he's smiling
>that dirty monkey has SOMETHING planned
>His eyes are covered by the dim light from above that hides his wicked features like a man in a hood
>your little gambling den goes as quiet
>do you take the bait?
>You pause before you make your mind
>"Yeah, I'm in." you slam the poker chips on the table
>"CALL! "
"excellent."

>he beat you again.
>you fool Spike.
>Anon just laughs as he extends his hand over the table and like a huge digger drags the coins over to his side.
>did you ever stand a chance
>you doubt it
>his sharp teeth flash as he opens his mouth
"who's next." he evilly whispers

>"Sorry guys, we're closing sugercube corner for tonight!"
>Pinkie emerges through the dim light and turns it on full
"Awww Pinkie come on, one more game. Have a heart! Look I'll even let you play with us~!"
>he says in a rather sing song voice as he holds up one of your coins he only just won from you.
>Pinkie takes the coin, unwraps it and takes a bite from the chocolate inside
>"Hmm maybe when you start playing with REAL MONEY and not the chocolate coins you STOLE from behind the counter MAYBE I'll join."
"Actual money? He'll no I have rent to pay!"
>"SO DO I NOW SHOO, SHOO!"
>"Anon look out SHE'S GOING FOR THE BROOM!'
"HOLY FRICK FELLERS BOOK IT SHE'S CRAZY!"
>you hear Thunderlane cry out
>the too late for him
>Rip Thunderlane
>"shoo go on! get!"
>Anon picks you up and throws himself out the door like the room was going to explode and he was shielding you from the blast
"that was a fun night, same time next week?"
>"Yeah see you Anon."
>For a big old monkey dude, Anon is alright

"Later!" you say to Spike as he holds a wounded Big Mac stead
>that poor fucker Thunderlane never stood a chance
>Ah well
>You head home to your modest little cottage as the sun just begins to touch the horizon>>29546727 (You)
>Surprisingly there is one pony resident who is still awake
"Hey Dash girl how you doing?"
>she's relaxing on the thatched roof of a house using a cloud as a pillow.
>that must be relaxing as fuck.
>the pillow, not the thatched roof.
>She opens her eyes and looks down at who disturbed her.
>seeing its you however she immediately perks up
>"Anon!" she squeaks in her adorable tomboy-ish voice
>"Didn't think you'd be up now most ponies are heading home."
"Me and the fellers where just catching up on some poker. Ran late, Pinkie kicked us out.'
>"bummer."
"I was so close to winning all their chocolate too, would have saved some for you if I knew you where around."
>"Did you buy that chocolate to play with?"
"Not... exactly."
>she rolls her eyes disapprovingly
"So what ARE you doing out now anyway? Bit late to be soaking up the rays."
>she seems nervous to answer.
>"y... Yeah just sunbathing, that late afternoon sun is really nice you know?"
>that sounded forced as fuck
>whatever
"K, well I'm heading home now, doing anything tomorrow?"
>"No?" she says pawing the ground
"wanna help me watch tv about and eat junk-food?"
>"Yes?" now looking excited
"great pop round sometime near midday."
>"Ah yes! Sure thing Anon see you then!"
>she zips up into the sky and does a little twirl
"she's excited. Sounds like the sort of thing she'd do anyway." you say to yourself aloud.
>you think you saw her do a little fist pump too
>'hoof'
>'a hoof pump?'
>whatever
>you head on home, it's night now and you have a few things left to do like tidy up your rooms and sort out some food.
>you didn't do shopping today
>that's fine maybe you'll have a nice dinner of 'fuck-all' followed by a side dish of 'wow, it' s fucking nothing'
>you'll get food tomorrow morning, you don't care.
>you still have some fruit left and a handful of free chocolate coins you managed to smuggle out of sugercube corner.
>dinner of kings indeed
>least tomorrow will be fun

>the night was uncomfortably warm
>equestria summers are like that
>even when you only had a thin sheet to sleep under you still felt a bit damp waking up
>the day would be hot too.
>The day began much like any other would, shit, cold shower but no shave
>you look better with a little hair on your jawline. Just a little.
>you would have had a breakfast too if you had any food in stock.
>time to visit the market, maybe grab some other things while you're there.
>you go through quills and paper like a motherfucker
>you debate with yourself whether you should put on a shirt but ultimately decide against it
>it's too hot and nothing else round here wears shirts
>even the princesses let it all free
>junk is on display almost always so fuck it why not
>liberated of your shirt (but not your jeans and shoes)
>you grab your pouch of gold bits, your small over-the-shoulder bag and head out walking down the small path past Fluttershy's house towards town

>don't need to lock the door
>everything is too polite to rob and you have fuck all in there anyway.
>also magic.
>what good is a locked door when someone can just teleport inside
>you still don't understand magic and while it would be badass as all hell be able to shoot fireballs from your hand or lift up things using telekinesis you know you'll just fuck it up and end up hurting someone

>you reach the town proper, market stalls are selling various goods and wares
>you need food and a few supplies. You need to get it done and start heading back but around mid-day because that's when Dash is coming over.
>today looks like it'll be a nice chill day
>"Mornin' Anon what can we do for you?" Applebloom greets you as you reach her cart
>Big Mac is there too and looks like he's recovered from poker-night you give him a quick nod
>you wouldn't get much conversation out of him anyway, all you've ever heard him say is "Eeeyup." "raise." "Fold." and "go home Anon, you're drunk."
"Morning all, just need a few apples."
>"Can do! Do you want a pie as well? It was freshly baked this morning!" Applebloom asks as she starts to place a small pile of apples in a little paper bag.
>in truth you'd love one, but you have nowhere to hold it while you do the rest of your shopping
"yes, I but I've got nowhere to hold it, just save me one and I'll buy it on the way back."
>Big Mac nods and places one of the fine looking pies on the shelf underneath the stand

>you got the rest of your shopping done after another hour or so
>apples, a nice selection of vegetables and fruits, breads and other dairy, a fresh stack of paper and a absolute rarity that you are very hard come by to find, MEAT.
>it took a while for you to set this up but you have meat delivered to ponyvile.
>no way are you having a vegetarian lifestyle when you know things like steak and bacon exist.
>as one might expect however it isn't just some pony sitting on a stall with various types of cut meat ready to sell.
>you have to head the ponyvile mail depot and pick it up yourself.
>"Morning derpy, my package arrived yet?" you ask as you head round to the front desk to find the crossed eyed pony sitting there on her desk
"Oh hi Anon, yep it arrived last night do you need some help with it?"
>that just because she's polite, nobody wants to help you handle your packages
>it's why it's kept here where you have to pick it up instead of being delivered like most packages would be
>you understand of course but it doesn't stop you feeling annoyed by having to do this EVERY TIME
"No, I'll be fine thanks, here's the payment for the package and here is the letter to be sent, same as last time."
>you hand her the gold bits along with a letter to send back to your supplier, a lovely griffin lass who you once helped out.

>you head back through the town, thinking if you need anything else when you see AJ now standing with Big Mac and Apple bloom.
>she waves you down
>"Good morning Anon! How's the day treatin' ya'?" she smiles
"pretty good, but I just been picking up a few supplies for today." you say placing the tightly wrapped package on the stall and pulling out your bag o' bits.
>"Oh anything interesting goin' on?" she asks genuinely interested.
"Nah, I just me and Dash hanging out at my place." you reply as you hand over the bits to Big Mac for your pie.
>AJ and Big Mac look surprised.
>"Just hanging out?" she asks
"Yeah...? Unless she has something else planned."
>"hmm." AJ mumbles cryptically.
"What?"
>"nothing I'm sure, you go and have a good day Anon and give my regards to Rainbow Dash."
>you take your pie and head back home deciding that you wouldn't question AJ.
>element of honesty and all that, but if she says it's probably nothing then what are you to argue.
>you mind dwells on it though.
>as you head out of town your mind goes to other places like what you should have for breakfast.
>it's still about an hour before midday so you have some time to kill
>you start to pass by Fluttershy's little earthen cottage and see her stepping out.
>you give her a wave, and she returns it and then starts to fly off.

>Home once again
>it's a little house just a few minutes out of town along the road to the Whitetail woods.
>a few things of yours survived and you settled down it comfort surrounded by tons of books and music
>just like home.
>except you are in another dimension
>with ponies.
>and magic.
>it's not like home at all.

>a knock at the door
"Dash, good to see you come on in."
>"Thanks Anon, It's rare we get to hang out, you are always with Big Mac, Spike and Thunderlane. I missed yo...your company."
"Well we can hang out now, I was just about to cut myself a piece of pie, you in?"
>Rainbow Dash walks towards the kitchen curiously before deciding that 'yes she would'
>you take your seat on the couch before handing her, her plate
>she hops up on the seat and shuffles about trying to find a comfortable position
>you start to chat about mundane things like the weather
