I am disgusting.

My veins run through filth and trash.

All my sides are the same;

Cold, flat walls with basic windows

And atop, packed with bags of yet more grime.

Would you please help me?

I'm not alone, I just need a friend.

I am a beggar who begs to

Those who ruined him.

I am disgusting.

- Awful Pony Poet, 2849

 

After Equestria's technological revolution in 2596, things were never really the same. Ponies became lazy, having no use for their talents after the invention of weather machines, various equipment that rendered magic almost pointless in civilised society and everything else you would possibly need to ensure that the least amount of effort was required for everypony to live more 'efficiently'.

 

The technological revolution was pioneered by Canterlot's best. It was never doubted by anypony, and even today it is praised by the majority of ponies as the best thing since apple pie. Life is easier, how could it be a bad thing? As far as everypony is concerned, life is better. It's easier to head for bigger goals now, like... Uh... That should be figured out eventually.

 

As for the moment, In 2856, all manner of things are happening. Ponies are getting involved in drugs and alcohol: poison joke, smoking hay, chugging cider... The princesses try to address the problem, but to no avail as gangs get stronger. Riots and other violence break out whenever new regulations are introduced, rendering any interference useless. Society hasn't completely failed, but common ponies have less respect for those with authority over them.

 

For example, at the last Summer Sun Celebration (held in Manehattan, one of the most populated cities), riots broke out and ended in Princess Celestia breaking a wing. All those involved were appropriately punished, but the event shocked ponies all over Equestria. As the next Summer Sun Celebration draws near, all anypony can think about is what will happen this year. This year's ceremony will be held in Ponyville and the Princesses believe that it will determine whether or not this event will continue or be stopped forever.

 

It is a week until the celebration, and preparations are being made in the city of Ponyville. You, a citizen of this sprawling urban hub, have decided to help with preparations. However, you might be in a gang and rival gangs are also involved with the preparations for the celebration. Will you collaborate with other gangs, or try to corrupt their efforts?

 

 

For this RP, you may be a pegasus, unicorn, earth pony or mule. Any other races are disallowed, as they have not been shown to inhabit Ponyville. Griffons are an exception, but you'll have to come up with a pretty good app. As for the gangs I have mentioned, there are 3 different gangs: the Hydras, who are the least brash and use sly tactics to achieve their goals; the Ursas, bullies who like to throw their weight around; and the Dragons, who use words to manipulate others. Everyone in Ponyville is part of a gang, no matter how minor their role. 

 

Rules:

1. Please try not to post one-liners. It's so disappointing when you spend your time typing out 2 paragraphs and are given two sentences.

2. Don't give yourself too much authority.

3. Let me decide when a day is over.

 

Gangs and Members

Hydras

Tinker - Engineer/Mechanic/Scrapper - Unspecified

Onyx - Advisor/Interrogator - Decoration/Eavesdropping

-Empty-

Ursas

Midnight Eclipse - Muscle, breaking and entering - Grunt or other

Sweet Flight - Spy - Decorations

-Empty-

Dragons

Strike - Director of Propaganda - Unsure

Joseph - Torturer and Leg-breaker - Grunt

Golden Stream - Gathers information about other gangs - Decoration

Gangless

Alain - / - Spectator

Dying Light - / - Decoration

 

 

For now, please wait for my introduction post before beginning, it will be separate from this post (the OP). I will be setting the scene, et cetera. Thanks to everyone who is involved for their patience!

The city was smouldering.

 

After the failed Summer Sun Celebration, Princess Celestia had mustered all her power and summoned a great orange ball of flame. It was cast upon her subjects, who perished within moments and turned to ash. Ponyville in its entirety was soon alight, a great pillar of smoke rising towards the Heavens. In years to come, this event would be called the Conflagration. Both Princesses were lost in the Conflagration, along with every Ponyville resident in the city at the time.

 

 

Onyx walked through the ash, still feeling the warmth from the flames. All around her, buildings crumbled like brittle charcoal. At shoulder-level, there was a layer of dust that had been kicked up by the fallen buildings. As she trotted, she felt nothing. It was surreal to recognise everything so well, despite it being so damaged. There was the dodgy chemist, the scuzzy café she had spent a lot of time in as a younger mare. The loose brick where she stored her joke had fallen out and the blue, dried flowers appeared to have withstood the flame. She felt inclined to go and gather the drug, but also knew that it meant nothing any more.

 

The tattooed mare reached the centre of the city and stopped. A golden crown glimmered among the ash, adorned with a single purple gem. Not far away were two skulls, one wearing a black crown with an emblem of a silver moon.

 

---

 

Onyx gasped for air, rearing up to a seated position in her bed. Her pillow was soaked by tears. Again, that dream... She needed to see a psychiatrist or something. Her breathing was shaky and irregular. It was unclear what that dream even meant; was the celebration going to fail? All she could do was hope that everything would go to plan. Her and the other Hyrdas had planned to meet and discuss what their roles would be in the preparations, the message was still on her mobile phone:

 

<Y> We'll meet at 12:40 at the back of the bar. Bring some idea of what you'll be doing.

 

She had already decided her role, decorations. With any luck, she'd be able to eavesdrop on the conversations of other gangs and figure out whether anypony was going to be trying to ruin the celebration. It was inevitable that somepony would be trying to muss up everypony else's work, it always happened. But not this week. She was going to make sure it would be the best Summer Sun Celebration in years.

The train arrived in Ponyville during the morning as always, from the smoke that filled the platform a white pegasus in a black suit walked out.  Passing through a couple of ponies all going about their business Strike made out of the train station. There he saw a brown colored earth pony with a tattoo of a dragon in his front left leg, standing on next to black car. Strike walked up to him. " I suppose you will be my escort?" The pony perked his ears up ' Eh? What's it to ya?"' He stopped for a second finally looking at Strike but specially looking at the golden dragon pin in his tie. "Oh... you must be... Uh... What ya called it... Mr Black right?'' Strike simply answered ''Yes that would be me.'' The pony scratched his head and walked up to the driver's sit. ''Ya just get on back they told me you was coming and asked me to pick you up'' Strike opened the back door and entered the car there he found a small briefcase. '' Ya that thing is for ya to read or something''

 

 ((Music maestro))

 

 

The car started to move go through the streets of ponyville. Strike read said files (( AKA, other Dragon Members Apps)).  Hmm a grunt  and  a spy... It's not any great material but I suppose that will do for now.... On our next to do list.... Meet our new associates... Let's see the spy of course can give us the edge on other gangs though I'm not too concern about them... Not yet a least....

 

 The car eventually entered a compound  where the gang hideout was located.

Joseph was leaning outside the building. He knew using the cigarettes from over 500 years ago would be terrible for his health, but he looked much more visually appealing with one. Half the time he didn't even light them. But he did right now. Not to set an example, it just was kind of addictive.

 

He saw a car roll in. He was told that Strike would arrive soon. Probably got listed as a grunt again.

 

He decided he'd just wait a little while.

Alain woke up on the barren field he found the other day, it became kind of his home after finding out it was both abandoned and wasn't closed, he grabbed his rusty needle, and sewed the arm of a puppet that was falling out, and stabbed the needle in his head, then grabbed the doll by the feet, and walked to the city, another day, another coin. Perhaps, most of the time he didn't know. He continued to think as he reached the sidewalk.

Stride hummed gently as she sat up in her so called 'bed'. When she wasn't being a spy or on work, she was quite a softy. But she knew today meant business. She slid off the bed, and walked to the dust covered table. She got a purse off it, and then she rummaged through it. She found a small, half eaten daisy sandwich.
"It'll have to do." She said regrettably before taking a bite, which was actually all the daisy sandwich had left. She sighed and went over to the door. "Time for work..." She said, opening it.

After a while navigating the dirty, littered streets of her home Stride was at the station. The train had just pulled up, so she boarded it and took her seat. The train ride was long and boring but a good time to overhear conversations. Nothing too serious, as Stride has expected. As the train came to a halt, Stride got her purse and her small suitcase and left. She pulled it through the streets of Ponyvile, before finding where she was staying. She entered it, and went straight to the bedroom. She put all her things there before getting up, going out, and finding the building where her associates were apparently meeting up. She saw a pony, with cigarettes, who was by the wall. She then went beside him and tried to make conversation. "So, you were sent here too?" She said casually.

Morning. Another whole to burn doing nothing. Another day without you.

 

Sweet finally awoken from her sleep. The sun woke her from the broken window near the mattress she was sleeping on. The day was suppose to be exciting. She was chosen to do the decoration for the Summer Sun Celebration. But the last ones went was one of the worst memories she had in her life. First of all, the celebration in Manehattan went up in flames. But the most traumatizing one, was her Best Friend was killed right in front of her for no apparent reason. Some say he was a spy for a gang he was in and got discovered. But she believed that he was framed. He never joined a gang, and if he did, she would've known ii by then. But apparently, he was with the Ursas, and once she joined them, she got info that he was framed to be a killer of another gang he was spying. Well, some rumors were true that day. But she's doing this for her friend. For revenge, for justice.

 

She went to her kitchen to fetch a small loaf of bread. That was enough for her as breakfast. She went to her room again to wear on her vest, shades, her book which she keeps her info gatherings, and took her switchblade for good measures. Undecided to what gang she would spy today, he took all the pins she had with the gangs emblem on it. She'd figure that she let her gang members choose. After leaving her compartment, she posted a picture of her best friend next to the door, reminding her what task she needs to do.

 

"Soon my friend," she said. "You will have your justice. They will all burn for what they have done to you."

He shook his head "Not sent. I already work here"

 

He chucked the cigarette on the ground and smothered the flame.

 

"Worked here quite some time actually. Just got told to wait outside the place for a bit"

"Oh... I live somewhere else... Part of spy work, living away from the base town." She said casually, watching the cigarette fall to the ground. "Anyway, who are we waiting for? I haven't been here in two years, so I might be a bit rusty on the base gang info." She said looking at her hooves before peering at the time on the watch on her hoof. "When will we be meeting them?" She added onto the before question.

He lit another cigarette and stood up fully.

Another sleepless night. All she had to sleep on was a crude, cold stone slab that had cracked from the wall and fallen, miraculously staying in (mostly) one piece. It was hell on her back, but she had nothing better and nobody to complain about it to. It made no difference to her, but the pain from lying flat on the stone had made her a bit loopy. Eclipse looked around at the barren room she had slept in, or attempted to. It was deathly silent apart from her own breathing and hooves scraping the stone as she slid off. She stretched herself languidly, letting the sounds of her popping bones fill the room around her.

 

"Ugh... this blows," she said, walking towards the hole in the wall she had been using as a door, "Need to find something... soft. Or warm. Or both, to be my mattress." Eclipse licked her lips. For the rest of the world being on fire, she sure felt cold here. It was almost comforting, but she felt a little sick to her stomach. She remembered when she was just a filly that a walk on the town would calm her nerves, perhaps it would work again as it had before.

 

----------

 

Tinker settled back on his rump, letting himself get comfortable in a sitting position as he raised his torch once more to the charred corpse of steel that he had been asked to dismantle. It would fetch a nice bit of shiny for both himself and for those who had asked for it, assuming he could haul it back to the garage and load it up with the rest of what he had cut. He flicked the torch on and got ready to set to work cutting again. So much time had passed since he came out before first light to start, having only the bright cyan light of his cutter to mark him out among the ever-burning fires of the city, but now the sun had snuck up on him and he had only gotten a little more than half of what he had wanted done.

 

Better get back to it, I still got a lot to do... he sighed, bringing the flame up to where he had left off. The morning had been still apart from the sounds of his work and the scrape of metal as he dragged it back to his cart, but he now heard the faint sound of approaching hooves from around the corner. Tinker's eyes turned upwards as he saw a grayish pony approaching, the blue fire of his torch reflected back at him from her eyes. He turned his head back to his work, expecting his eyes to follow but they stayed locked on her. Trouble, he bit his lip. Tinker had avoided much confrontation while he had been scavenging. Most ponies didn't see the value in metal and such, but he knew how to melt it down and transform a hunk of steel into something similar to what they could only find by searching in the deeper ruins. In any case, he didn't want trouble now, but he was no stranger to a fight. He carried on cutting, keeping the pony in his peripheral.

 

----------

 

The morning was as dreary as she and her dreamless night had been. Black, ash, but cold. Cruel, even, but yet not so. It was how she had learned to live and how she had survived so far. Cold, alone. Off in the distance she heard the clang of metal and the harsh scratch and scrape of metal across the hard stone and concrete of the street. She wasn't aware of any happenings that day, which made the noises seem curious. She decided to play it safe and check it out. If it was one of her gang's members, then no worries, but if it was another gang's member, she was having a cold morning, perhaps some blood would warm her up.

 

Eclipse rounded the corner and a bright light caught her eye. There was a red pony with a torch cutting away happily on a pile of crap. He was not familiar to her, but she was about to become real familiar with him. She turned towards him and made a beeline to where he was. He had seen her, but he wasn't moving. He stayed sitting on his rear, cutting with that fire. It angered her for some reason to see him there, a smile on his face, working so happily. Eclipse flared her nostrils and frowned, picking up her pace towards him as she clenched her teeth. His day was about to get a lot worse at his own expense.

 

----------

 

Tinker glanced back up just in time to see a hoof making its way towards his face. In the next moment, he felt his head hit the ground and pain flared up from both sides of his head. He dropped the torch, which went out with a pop, and had just started to stand himself back up as another hoof bashed him back down to the ground. He was utterly confused, but decided it was better to stay down than get back up.

 

"Who are you!?" the pony yelled, sending a kick into his ribs. The wind was knocked out of him, but the questions continued. "Why are you here? Who do you think you are?" Eclipse kicked him again before stepping back and letting him sit up. Tinker was bleeding moderately from the nose and mouth, but he managed a response from where he had sat up.

 

"T-Tinker, I'm... I'm just..." he wiped the crimson liquid from his mouth, just who was she and what had he done to warrant such an outburst? "Who are you?"

 

"Shut up you stupid colt! I'm asking the questions here," she barked, boxing him in the cheek again. He lost focus for a moment and put out his front hooves to steady himself as she spoke again. "Who told you you could come here, Tinkertoes? Who sent you?"

 

Tinker coughed and attempted to stand back up. Eclipse growled and glared at him, reminding him of what would happen if he tried anything. He took the hint and looked away, "I don't know, I just... I got a message yesterday evening asking for a load of... of steel and aluminum, so I..."

 

"Shut up before I cut you. I asked for who told you, not a master's thesis. Now look," she said, stepping closer to him and leaning down, "I'm a mare, and you're a..." she paused, looking him over, "You're a handsome... stallion. Why don't you just answer my questions and we won't have to go through this? I'm all for beating you senseless and dragging you back to my place for some... fun, but I don't think you'd enjoy that as much as I would. So why don't you just tell me where you came from and who sent you, and I won't take you back to my place for some more fun?" She grinned and laughed, placing a hoof on his nose playfully.

 

Tinker shrank away from her gaze and touch, not particularly wanting to learn what her definition of 'fun' with a stallion was. He thought he had answered her questions though, despite her beatings, but he tried answering again.

 

"My name's Tinker... I'm just a mechanic. I... I'm not interesting, I'm not that handsome, I..."

 

Eclipse smiled at him tantalizingly, putting a hoof on his shoulder and pushing him to the ground. Tinker cringed, expecting to be beaten again, but no hoof met his face. He relaxed a bit, hoping she was through with him.

 

Eclipse slid towards him, putting her face in front of Tinker's as she prepared to ask the thousand-bit question: "Do you have a... special mare, Tinker?"

 

Tinker tilted his head as she spoke to him. Her voice had changed from the harsh thing it had been before, but something was still amiss to him. He replied shakily, "No... I don't... I..."

 

The mare pursed her lips in contemplation, "Good... good... a big, strong stallion like you doesn't need to be tied down to some... frilly old mare, no. But..." she continued, inching her body closer to his, "If you did have a special mare... she might like your... deep blue eyes and your..." She stopped, inches from his face. The smell of blood was heavy on his face. It was a thick smell, filling her nostrils as it ran from his. "You know... little colt. You never told me what gang you hail from? I think I'd like to know that," she rubbed her nose against his, breathing on him as she waited for his answer.

 

Tinker felt the warmth from her breath on him, but her question did not fully register for a moment. "Well... I... I'm from the... Hydras..." He pushed his nose back against hers, hoping she was of the same gang, but her demeanor changed as soon as his put contact back on her. Her breath quickened and her nostrils flared, he could almost feel the hit coming before she let it fly.

 

She quickly stood up from him and he shot up in alarm as a snarl formed on her face, "That's what I though, you stupid colt. At least you're not like the rest of those assholes. I'll see you around," she growled before turning her tail end toward him and putting her rear hoof into his nose. He went out like a light as his head hit the ground again.

 

----------

 

Eclipse trotted down the street, Tinker's blood still on her hooves from their encounter. She didn't feel any less sick than when she left earlier that day, but it didn't bother her now. She had made her impression and looked forward to seeing the stallion again. He had put up less of a struggle than she was used to, and he had been the first one in a long time she had restrained herself with. He was different. He didn't belong.

 

She was no stranger to that, and it was sort of soothing to know that there were others. He hadn't adapted like she had, though. She took the harder road, one where she had to fight and kill to survive. He had taken to work and dedication, taking only what was given to him and making it work in most situations. He was what she had wanted to be, and now that she thought of it, he was a bit more familiar than she had originally believed. An image popped into her mind of when she was still just a filly, rummaging through a dumpster for scraps and bits of rotten food. She remembered a quiet colt at that dumpster. His interest was in scraps, but not the same kind as she. He had food, but he wanted the useless things. He wanted to make them useful again. She was interested, but she had no capacity for it. It was different for her. It always had been, just as it had been for him.

 

Eclipse closed her eyes as she lost herself in thought. She rubbed her face with her hoof, bringing it down to look at it as she felt moisture on her head. There was still some blood on her hoof, but the bottom of it had ash stuck to it from where she had walked. Putting the hoof down, she looked around, watching the two or three small groups of ponies pass by. They were in her gang and offered her no looks and no resistance. She would sit for a while before going to their regular places and looking for any new news on the ashen streets.

    What ever happened to the OUYA?

Posted 30 November 2013 - 07:24 AM

Cascade woke in a cold sweat. The dream, or should I say nightmare, flashed before his eyes only to disappear a second later. He found himself then staring at the ceiling of his apartment. A grey fan hovers atop of his bed spinning in a counter-clockwise motion. He began to relax finally understanding where he was. Cascade tried to stretch both his arms like he normally would everytime he woke up. Except he couldn't, because something was blocking his left arm.

 

He turned his head in the area where is arm was only to find the reason why it was being denied access to stretch. There on the left side of his bed lay a unicorn stallion. He was lime green with hightlights in his hair. The stallion was holding on to his left hoof as if it was a teddy bear. At the sight of this, last night had come flooding back to Cascade's mind like a dam all of a sudden breaking.

 

He was out drinking last night at the bar in Ponyville and came across the stallion laying across from him there. Cascade had begun talking up the stallion to let him into the gang the stallion was in. What the stallion's name is and what gang Cascade wanted to get in to were blurry to him. When Cascade moved to Ponyville he didn't join any gang because he thought it was pointless. But after living here for a while and having been robbed and almost killed, Cascade decided on one thing. If he wanted to survive, he was gonna need some protection. And what better way to get protection then to join a gang!  After talking to the stallion for a while, the stallion gradually got drunker. He waited until the stallion got to a certain point of drunkeness, then told him "Comon, lets go back to my place" What happened next, was NOT blurry to Cascade in the slightest.

 

Cascade shook his head in an fruitless attempt to get rid of the memories. When it didn't work, Cascade just sighed and pulled his hoof away from the grasp of the lime-green stallion. Then proceeded into the kitchen. Cascade walked through the halls of his apartment and ended up in the living room. Across from his living room was the kitchen.

 

He pulled open the top cabinet that held his dishes and pulled out a cup. Cascade turned the faucet on and proceeded to fill the glass with cold water. The dark blue earth pony put the glass to his lips and began to drink the water from it in a attempt to get rid of the salty taste in his mouth. After drinking about half the glass of water, he poured the rest out into the sink, put the glass in there as well, and wiped away the excess water around his lips with his left hoof. Cascade exited his kitchen/living room and sighed again as he trotted back to his room.

 

When he got to the doorway, he looked inside and saw the lime-green stallion still fast asleep on the right side of his mattress. He rubbed his neck with his left hoof and thought to himself "Was what I did last night even worth it? Did any of it work? I mean he's cute and all, but i'm not sure if what I did was in the least bit right. What is his name anyway? I think it started with a C" Cascade just shook his head again and made his way over to the nightstand. He slowly pulled the top drawer forward making sure he didn't wake up the stallion not to far away. He pulled out the small case that was inside and proceeded to close the drawer. Cascade opened the small case. Inside were 2 silver Benchmade Model .42 Butterfly Knifes. He pulled both out and closed the case.

 

Cascade held both in his hooves and flipped both open at the same time with a simple opening move. After staring at the blades of both knifes to make sure they weren't dull, he closed both the same way he opened them. Cascade had bought them both off of Ebay after he was robbed and almost killed. Ever since then, he carries them around with him anytime he has to go into town for security reasons. Cascade placed both on the nightstand and made his way over to his closet. Pulling the door open, he begun choosing which hoodie he would wear today.

 

Cascade owned an assortment of hoodies varying from the entire colors of the rainbow to hoodies with colors and designs on them. He began running his hoof through them. "Hmm....no...no...no...no...no......maybe...no....no....no..no...Ah! Perfect!" Cascade had landed his hoof on a light blue hoodie. He pulled it off of its hanger, closed the closet, and begun putting it on. After successfully slipping his head and hooves through the holes pre cut, he pulled on the bottom of it to try and make it cover more of his waist. He gave up after fives pulls, shrugged, and trotted back over to the nightstand.

 

He picked both of the balisongs up with one hoof and shoved them into his pocket. Looking back over to the stallion still asleep, a sudden urge of need came over him. He felt like he wanted to stay and cuddle with him some more, but knew he couldn't. Cascade exited the room, walked down the hallway, and made his way towards the front door. As soon as he was about to turn the door handle, he remembered he had to leave a note of where he was going. The stallion that was in his house was going to wonder without a doubt. Cascade looked over to countertop by the door and saw a stack of Post-It notes and a pen.

 

Cascade picked up the pen and begun writing on the top Post-it note. "Went out to pick up my new controller for my PS6. Be back soon. ~Cascade" Thinking a job well done, He twisted the door knob of the front door, pulled it open, and shut it behind himself as he left.

Cascade had begun walking from the apartment building he lived in and head down the street in the direction of Tinkers workshop. As he was walking, Cascade pulled out one of the balisongs from his pocket and begun flipping it around. "Whats the point of owning these if you can't play with them?" He thought to himself. He has begun doing pro tricks with the butterfly knife and switched it inbetween hooves mid-trick. After doing 15 or so tricks, Cascade noticed a mare sitting ahead on the street. She started to come into his eyesight better as he walked forward. He hoped she wouldn't be a problem, considering he was just going to walk by.

 

With this thought in mind, Cascade continued flipping the balisong in broad daylight. As he got closer, he begun to notice blood on the mare. Still trying to keep his cool, Cascade continued to flip the knife around but instead of flipping it around for the sake of flipping it around, a small part of his brain made him do it as a sign of some sort to any pony around him to let them know he wasn't one to be messed with. He prayed hopefully, they would get the message. 

 

(I overdid it didn't I? Atleast it isn't 2 sentences. Anyways, the second part is directed towards Eclipse, RunningWolf251.)

The sun... The day was at least beautiful... If not for the messed-up city... And the gangs possible plots to ruin it...

 

Ponyville. The town that was going to be graced with the Princesses presence. The Summer Sun Celebration is just a week away. But just before she went to work with the decorations for the celebration, she first went to the hideout of their group. Thinking that this was the smartest way to help decide what group she will spy on.

 

Entering to their meeting place, she was the only one there so far. No pony was even in there. Huh, guess that I'm the first one here, she thought. Guess I better have to wait. She started playing with her switchblade. She was playful and bubbly most of the time. But that was her past. After the incident, it got significantly lower and she was a bit too serious on everything now. Not wanting to screw up all her plans for her revenge to others.

Eclipse played with her tail absentmindedly as she sat in the ash, flipping her short tail side to side with her back muscles as she pondered what else she could do today besides rough up a few ponies. Surely there was something... productive? Not likely. There very rarely was, or she just chose not to do it. Suddenly, something clicked in her mind, but nothing arose. What the... I thought that was supposed to mean I got something? Eclipse rubbed her chin thoughtfully as another audible click echoed in her ears. Surely she wasn't going stupid, right? Then it dawned on her: that wasn't in her head. Walking down the road was a blue earth pony with a butterfly knife, seeming to have a bit of a good time flipping it around like he owned the joint. Eclipse tilted her head curiously, squinting at the pony. She didn't recognize this pony either, and she didn't like the way he shot a glance at her.

 

She stood up slowly, swishing her tail from side to side as she stepped out into the street to block the soon-to-be path of the approaching pony. She grinned mischievously as she sat back down and folded her front hooves, doing her best to keep a 'sensitive filly' look on her face without just up and laughing or lashing out at him. She hoped that he wouldn't attack outright, but that was never a certainty. In any case, she would let him make the first move.

 

"What could a colt like you be doing out so early in the morning? Surely... up to no good?" She snickered to herself, lowering her head slightly but keeping an eye on him.

Strike stood there for quite sometime just observing the two who arrived surelly they were the new crew. "Let the show begin" Strike opened the door and slowly and walked up to the two ponies "Good morning.. You two will know me as Mr. Black I was sent here by the higher ups back in Manehattan to make sure everything runs acording to the Dragons wishes. I presemted myself I suggest both of you to do the same"

Stride was silent for a few seconds before speaking. "I am Golden Stream. I was sent here from a small town outside of Canterlot, as a spy I move frequently, going to where duty calls." She said before becoming silent once again. She was shuffling her hooves slightly, trying not to show her nervousness in her face she had to resort to this. She looked back up again, and waiting for somepony to talk. She wondered if he was alerted of their names already, and such. She then looked at her appearance. She was quite clean, but her coat was bit dusty. She brushed it off, before smiling.

"Physical threats a result that the other gangs aren't being coorperative to our cause, we'll deal with that later." Strike passed through the door now opened but stop mid way and said. "Mr... Uhh.. Hmm.. Please I ask yoto call me Mr. Black for I have no intention of letting other gang members know my name" Strike walked to the living room and sat on the couch. " I suppose a nice breakfast for us all should be in order"

"It has been quite a morning for me. I would be delighted to have some breakfast, as a traveller I often have little money to provide myself with little choice of food." She said, entering the building. She sat down. "Now, shall we discuss the matters at hand, of course after a breakfast? Or is this merely a gathering?" She asked in a slightly business like tone.

"Oh yes now that we are done with instructions we can start. I hope you are all aware of what happened in Manehattan last year." Strike grabbed a cup of coffee that was placed on the coffee table in front of them. "Well as it happens Princess Celestia wasn't very pleased with it, meaning security has become tighter which is bad for business" Strike gave Stride a glance " Relax... There's no need for you to be so tense'' Strike sighted. " So our objective is to make sure everything in this summer sun celebration goes completely perfect. I'm sure our higher ups are working at this very moment to get the princess in our favor" Strike took a sip of the coffee. " Now I need you two to tell me the situation on the city so we can plan out how should we proceed"

Joseph shrugged "It's pretty simple - people are rowdy, gangs are reaping, gun stores earn a lot of money, drugs are everywhere and I'm in deep with business everyday" He examined the contents in his bag, then continued "I have some dealers, a few people on my side, and other things. I'm not well remembered enough for people to know me on the street. This is of course a good thing"

Stride facehoofed in thought. She decided to tell the info she had currently. "The current economy status is horrible, the SSC is making everypony tense resulting in the business for... Bad stuff.. Raising. Security's tight and as our goal is too work in it and get security overall lowered I have chosen my preferred role as decorator." She concluded, now relaxed.

As he approached closer to the random mare he saw how she deliberately got up from where she was sitting originally to block the path of the street Cascade was on. Something registered in Cascade's mind as this not being good. He had begun praying to Celestia that this situation wouldnt go to shit within the first five seconds inside his mind. When he got into ear-range of the mare blocking his way, Cascade heard her say "What could a colt like you be doing out so early in the morning? Surely... up to no good?" Not wanting to make a bad impression in a place where you could die in the blink of an eye, more or less, he waited until he was close to the mare before speaking to her. When he had gotten close enough to her, i.e a foot away from her, he sat down while still flipping the balisong and had begun to speak "Well, if you classify heading to Tinkers workshop as no good then I guess you could say that."

((Hehe, she's just a... selective breeder. More or less.))

 

Eclipse watched closely as the pony approached. He didn't seem at all opposed to a conversation and he wasn't readying himself to strike. Perhaps he would be more willing than she first thought. He even sat down with her in the street, which was a little unexpected, but not cause for alarm. In fact, quite the opposite. He must have trusted her to some small degree to present himself like that. The blue pony didn't put his weapon away though, but it didn't bother her.

 

A smile crossed her face as he mentioned a freshly familiar name. "Tinker. Now there's a pony I haven't seen for a while." She stretched her lower legs and leaned forward, resting most of her weight on her forelegs as she leaned a little closer, testing just how close he was willing to let her approach. "Why'd you be going there? Are you..." Eclipse bit her lip, trying to think of an adequate word to fit what she wanted to say. The word slipped her mind for a few seconds before she thought of something similar. "Are you a friend of his? Are you in his little... group?"

Ugh... This is taking FOREVER....

 

Tired of waiting the other to decide, she went out and randomly chose one of the pins she has to spy on the other gang. She already had the Ursas pin on, and two more pins hidden in her inner pockets. She took it out of her pocket and chose.

 

"Huh... Maybe I'll pick you..." she said clipping the Dragon Pin. "Yeah, Dragons it is."

 

She hid the rest of the pins in her pocket and went on her way. If she could remember it correctly, their hideout was in some building that kinda looked like a warehouse of some sort. She was well on her way to sabotage their plots and gain fame to their Gang instead.

 

Hah, they'll never know what hit 'em.

The mare blocking his pathway leaned in closer to Cascade. He wasnt one for allowing people to invade his personal space, unless he wanted them to. Since he didnt know this mare very well, this was not one of those times. He backed up slowly by an inch and then responded to what the mare had said, still flipping his balisong. "Not...exactly. I came across his shop one day and payed him to fix my PS6 controller that I broke." Cascade began rubbing his neck with his open hoof and continued. "And i'm not sure what group or gang Tinkers in, but im not apart of it." Cascade began getting nervous as he continued. He slowly stopped flipping around the balisong and closed it. "Im...not really...in a gang or group." Cascade's mind begun to flash to the worse case senario of what would happen next.

Not gonna play along? Oh well, I suppose I'll just have all the fun. This could get very interesting though, she imagined the situation that would likely occur in the next few minutes. It would be amusing, at least. Probably make her day if nothing else.

 

"No group? Well, that's unfortunate. I've heard of some... rather nasty things happening to ponies stepping into the wrong areas here, but you don't strike me as some Dragon's plant sent through here to... do whatever it is they want, I don't know and don't really care. But you like to play games? Ooh, I love to play. Just be careful not to hurt yourself spinning that thing around, you're likely to take an eye out, or something else." Eclipse giggled playfully. She saw him fidget a bit, he must not like my playful nature. Saddening. His loss, then.

 

"But you look so uncertain right now, like you've seen some sort of ghost. Rough night, little colt, or is it just me?" She leaned slightly closer again, stretching her neck to make up for the space he had put between them. "Besides, you still haven't told me why you'd go and see dear little Tinker."

((Uh, I don't really know, to be honest. I was imagining Ponyville being quite a bit bigger, but I was imagining they were just on some no-name street a few blocks from where Tinker has his shop. They'd be along the border of where the Hydra and Ursa gang territories meet. I didn't specify, but they're not that close to where the other group is currently. Other half of the town as far as I'm aware, since the others are Dragons and they're in their own territory. I'm also not sure how Squint is dividing the gang territories, so... I'm probably thinking of it wrong, but I just divided the city into three parts with the center being the town hall and the rest of the city sort of a circle from it, each gang getting one of the thirds.))

The mare had noticed how Cascade was nervous. That wasnt helping in the slightest. As a matter of fact, Cascade had become more nervous because of it. Like all nervous ponies, he began to stutter. Backing up a bit more, he answered the mare.""I-I already t-told you. I p-payed him to fix my controller. T-Thats it." Cascade swallowed.

How cute, I've broken him. Eclipse stood up and followed him back, feeling that she had struck a chord with the pony. She didn't want to lose it so soon, she was rather enjoying herself. "That's all?" she asked, walking slightly to the side of him but keeping her eyes on him. "Surely there's something else, but I guess it doesn't matter." Eclipse stopped walking suddenly and put a hoof to her chin, "You knooowww... something just occurred to me... It's an... odd coincidence, but I was actually just about to head to Tinker's myself."

 

Her face softened a bit and she put her hoof out genty to him, "Would a strong stallion like you be willing to... take me there? We're both going the same way and... I just figured... Well, being a strong stallion and all... You could protect me and..." She looked away before turning her eyes back to him longingly.

But, saying no in this sorta situation probably wasnt the smartest of ideas. "U-Uh...sure. M-May I ask what your name is?"

Eclipse smiled slowly. She had either gained his trust, or he was just playing along. Either way, she was satisfied with his response. "My name? Well I didn't know you were that interested... I'm called Eclipse." She could still see the slightly wariness in his eyes, in the way his brow furrowed in caution when she approached, the way he looked at her hooves. "Now, what's your name? I don't think I've seen you around here before, and I think I've seen most of the regulars. Where'd you say you were from?"

Eclipse turned her head to look where Cascade had pointed. He hadn't lied, there was a brick apartment building beyond his hoof and she assumed that he lived there. She had been sitting on the sidewalk and he had appeared from nowhere. He must've come from that building. "I see, well, at least you've got a bed. I've got..." She paused, turning away not out of shame but in her attempt to find a way to put it. "Well, that doesn't matter. I wasn't aware you lived here, but I guess I just haven't noticed." She looked him over again, searching for anything familiar about him, but finding little.

 

"Anyways... let's walk and talk. Best not to keep Tinker waiting. He is a... busy pony and all, right? Hehe, I'm getting bored standing around, too. Let's walk, yeah?" She held out a hoof and grinned at the pony, I wonder if Tinker made it home yet... Probably not, he was out cold when I left. Maybe he'll be glad to see me. Such a nice pony, though. Maybe he enjoyed it.

 

Probably not.

"Uh yeah, sure." Cascade had begun walking along side Eclipse in the direction he originally planned. As he was walking, he begun observing Eclipse's fur. Her front and back hooves were covered dark red spots. Cascade dared not to ask but thought it might be helpful to know in case things took a turn for the worst. "Uh Eclipse. W-Where exactly did you get those dark red spots on your hooves?"

((Horses have hair, actually. And I can't wait for Eclipse's mood to change. She's unusually happy today, for some reason.))

 

Eclipse watched him carefully out of the corner of her eyes. He was watching her, but she couldn't tell whether it was caution, fear, or curiosity. She wasn't really prepared for his question but pursed her lips in contemplation. Ew, didn't plan for that question. Think quick, uh... "Well, I was doing some painting earlier and I guess I got a little... messy. Hadn't really noticed it until now, got a rag or something?" Change subject.

 

She shuffled a little closer to him before weaving back away, doing her best to gauge how much he trusted her again. Best way to change the pace, put the focus on them. "Why you so uncomfortable? Something happen to you? You're about as jumpy as a pegasus on speed. Lighten up a bit, I only bite a little," she snickered again, stepping playfully towards him as they walked along. If her memory served correctly, they had traveled about a block or more and she had left Tinker about three or four behind before she sat down. It hadn't been long, he was probably still where she had left him.

Cascade figured Eclipse seemed nice enough to be a bit open to her. After all, if he was trying to get into a gang, the smartest idea would be to let ponies know little bits about him. "I just...had some trouble this morning that's all." Cascade rubbed his mane then continued. "So um, do you know Tinker well? Like, are you guys friends or something?"

Stride merely replied to the stallions question by saying. "Actually, I do. But it's worn out and I have no use for it." She then smiled. A gun would be good back up for her, when they're refusing to talk when she's beaten and done her charm.

"Trouble? Like..." She looked over curiously, watching his face carefully. "What kind of trouble, if you don't mind me asking? You don't seem like the kind who goes looking for trouble; what kind of trouble found you?"

 

Eclipse thought about his question for a moment and laughed, "Mmm, it's kind of rocky. More like a love-hate.... sorta thing. Ya' know? We don't always get along, but... Yeah. How'd you meet him? Apart from your... controller, and all?"

"Well, one day I was in town and came across his workshop. He seemed like a kind pony and said I could rely on him whenever I needed something built or fixed. Couple days later I ended up breaking my controller in a rage and went straight to him. He gave me half off and said he would have it done by today. And about the trouble this morning." Cascade hesitated but continued. "It wasn't something that happened this morning, more like it happened last night....I'd..rather not talk about it." He looked away from Eclipse's eyesight begun staring at the concrete.

Stride nodded, and proceeded it get from her seat. Her badly curled mane was covering most of her face, it's dirty blonde colour making it look like a mop on her head. She then followed the other pony outside, her eyes looking for anything suspicious she might take note of.

((Let me just make a quickie plan of the city. I'll post it in a bit.))

 

Onyx picked up her backpack from a nail on the wall. She swung it over her shoulder, then slipped the other hoof through the appropriate strap. Before going to meet with the rest of the Hydras, it would be a good idea to get some dealing done. 5 bags of dried joke, 5 bags of hay and 7 packs of fags rustled in her bag, along with a couple of bits. There was plenty more stock under the sofa, so she didn't worry about running out. Dealing was a good job - paid well, and nopony really cared what gang their dealer was from. Of course, the pigs thought different, but when did they ever know anything?

 

She reached her spot and sat down on a sheet of cardboard, dropping her backpack on the pavement next to her. Across the road, about a block down, a bearded pony wearing several layers of moth-eaten jackets and jumpers sat. He was old and wrinkled, both in his skin and voice.

 

"Yer a pretty mare t'be sitting out her all alone.." He mused, "Usually jus' me around here." The stallion, known as Forget-Me-Not, was wrong. Onyx was usually here, handing out goodies to customers. She tolerated his forgetfulness, it wasn't his fault that his memory was deteriorating. In fact, she felt sorry for him. Reaching into her bag, she picked out about ten bits and stood up, walking over to him and dropping them into the damp hat he collected money in.

 

"Buy yourself something nice, Haze."

 

"Thank ye, ma'am."

Strike kept walking through the streets seeing a couple of young colts showing off new dragon symbols either on their clothes or tattooed in their coat. Strike stopped and watched the bunch for a bit probably up to no good but what you expect from young-lings. Strike smiled and went his way It would be a shame if they were caught.... They no nothing on what they are getting into by entering this sort of business.... With this Strike had a flashback of when he was young.  

 

 

" What do you mean never cut a deal with a dragon?" Strike looked at the elder pony who served him as a mentor during his travels. 

 

"There is no other gang that is more ambitious and power driven then the dragons. We by nature are corrupted and manipulative doing everything to get ahead of everyone else.

 

"But my father trusted the other Dragon members!"

 

"Your father did business with The Dragons, your father respected The Dragons, but your father never trusted The Dragons, and neither should you"

 

"Why are you telling me this if we are so corrupted and manipulative"

 

"Because I trust you won't be an obstacle on my own plans.... Lesson is over"

Eclipse looked Cascade over once more. "Rough night?" She looked into his averted eye, seeing a bit of pain, or regret. "Hmm, well... I'm sure we've all had one or... two of those. Heh, I think it's almost... expected, now. Ya' know?" She gave a little sigh, Can't be all that bad. Nothing worse than that one... Well... Shut up. Nothing worse than those kinds of nights. I guess that much is true. She walked along in silence for a ways, the ash making little clouds as her hooves hit the ground, afraid to be caught beneath her step. The wind whistled slightly between the buildings, blowing some of the top layer of ever-present ash around. It was a warm wind, not like what would have been expected long before the fires started, but instead of blowing the cool mainland breeze, it caught the heat from the fires and spread them through the city along with the ashes of whatever was still burning.

 

"No need to get down though, shit happens. It's just a part of this place now. It runs deep. A little deeper in some than others." Feeling that she had spoken a little alcove of her mind, she decided to shut up for a little while longer. They were almost to Tinker now, or where she had left him. His shop was a few blocks past, if she remembered correctly. There was no way they wouldn't pass him. She was already a little curious as to how he would handle it. Either of them. All of them.

"Yeah...I guess." Cascade sighed again. Looking away from the concrete, he turned his head to where Eclipse was walking and looked into her eyes. There was no doubt about it, what Cascade saw in her eyes was sadness and loneliness. This made Cascade think. "She doesn't seem like the type of person to be sad or lonely. Heck, if you just looked at her for five seconds you would have never have guessed that. Eclipse seems more like the pony to be out and about. I should probably try to get her to open up a little bit." 

 

And with that thought, Cascade spoke to Eclipse again. Hoping that whatever her problem was, he could fix it. He wasn't garantueeing to be successful, but that didn't mean he couldn't try. "So um...you never told me where you live. I mean...it seems only seems fair since...I told you." Cascade rubbed his neck with his hoof.

Living Ordyin woke up late morning, he shook free the cardboard and scraps that were his bed. Living's home  was no mansion, it resided in a dingy, run down alleyway. His superiors did not deem him worthy of his own home with furniture so Living was forced to live there and he had to be happy with it. However, despite it's dilapidated appearance it was homely enough and safe due to it being deep within Hydra territory.

Whilst he was thinking to himself about his residence Living had already gotten dressed and was making his way to -<Wherever and whatever the Hydra's main base is?>- to report to his superiors. To Living they had no other title, neither had the asked him to address them otherwise. After receiving his morning briefing Living found his way into a empty room, sat in a chair and waited for the next injured pony or order to arrive.

 

(( Living'll be round to buy some drugs later for the higher ups soon Squint ))

"Where I live?" Eclipse glanced over at him. He was nervous again, but he must have trusted her enough to try his luck asking her more personal questions. She admitted, it wasn't her favorite past-time to talk about her own life, but she was in a divulgatory mood and he seemed to enjoy being on the receiving end. He wasn't bad, certainly didn't seem like he was going to stick that blade in her neck and watch as she squirmed and suffocated. Perhaps she had found a couple of decent ponies in a city of bloodthirsty killers.
 
Eclipse looked around, hoping the place was in sight, but it was not. "Well, I live in a... a partly collapsed building not too far from where you pointed out as your place. The old Dollarhide Hotel, I think it was. Once." She wasn't incredibly proud to admit it, but there wasn't much else to say unless he asked for particulars about her living arrangements. She didn't have a real bed, bathroom, kitchen, or living room. She didn't mind, though. She had chosen that room and it had sheltered her when she needed it, unlike most of the ponies she had met, it had been there for her. She had probably spilled her guts to that room many times. Those cold, stone walls knew all her secrets, her desires, her fears and hates.
 
But again, she was curious, and she had his ear. She hadn't had much of a chance to speak to a pony who had been lucky enough to avoid a gang for so long. It was a bit of a reminder of how things had been before she was thrown hoof and tail into the world against her will. She wasn't really sure how to ask questions like this, she had done it so very few times. "Soooo... you're not in a gang or nothin', what do you... do? Like... I dunno. I mean, what do you do? What do you like? Why aren't you in a gang?"

Suddenly a rough-looking pony stuck his head through the door and barked an order at Living in an equally rough voice "Hey you! Go pick us up some the good stuff, NOW!", after which he stormed off but not before chucking a ragged letter at him to give to the dealer. Living quickly but unhappily without a word got up and left the building. He headed to the spot taking shortcuts he'd found along the way, he quickly reached his destination and found the dealer, an orange mare with odd tattoos by the name of Onyx.

Living hastily but cautiously approached her and upon reaching her Living grumbled a quick, rough and mumbled "Hey Onyx" through his bandana while pressing the letter into her hoof. His other hoof rested on his slick, katana-like blade, in case of emergency.

 

(( by the way; the letter just includes orders for her to give Living the drugs needed and that the matter of payment will be dealt with later ))

Cascade was a bit taken back when Eclipse said she was living in a collapsed building. "How could she live there? I can't imagine she gets good nights of sleep." Cascade thought. He decided he wasn't gonna push that topic for now, but he knew he would bring it back up later. Looking at the balisong in his hoof, he shoved it into his hoodie pocket where the other one resigned and answered the questions Eclipse had just asked.

 

"No, i'm not. I moved to Ponyville to get a change of scenery from Trottingham. Lived there all my life...well...a good portion of it atleast. When I got here, I found out really quick that this place isn't what it used to be like." Cascade rubbed his face. "Now this place is taken over by all these....gangs. I didn't want any part of it so I chose not to join one. I just do the normal stuff you know? Go to centertown, buy something, go home, the usual. I don't really like going outside unless it is really necessary." He sighed. "There's a good reason for it. A couple weeks I got jumped by some random ponies. I wasn't sure which gang they were in, but I guess it didn't matter at the time...and probably still doesn't. They took my wallet and beat me to the point of death." Cascade rubbed the scar on his left cheek. "Another pony found me in the alleyway those assholes left me in and took me to the hospital." He looked away from Eclipse. "I probably wouldn't be standing here talking to you if it wasn't for them. Week later I went on Ebay and bought these bad-boys." Cascade stopped walking to pull out both Balisongs.

 

He pulled both out and flipped them open with the same move. Keeping them open long enough for Eclipse to get a good look at them, he flipped them close and put them back into his pockets. "I saw you had red spots on you and purposely kept flipping one in case you know...attacked or something." Cascade rubbed the back of his mane.

"Normal. Heh..." She exhaled, knowing that she was probably far from that word. He didn't know who she really was, just as she didn't know who he really could be. "I don't know what normal is. It's always changing, always moving. Here one minute, gone the next. I have to live with what I get as I get it. It's a dangerous thing, stepping outside. You might get killed, taken away, or cornered and..."
 
Eclipse wasn't paying much attention and walked past Cascade as he stopped to show her his knives. She watched as he opened them and stood there with them out. Eclipse's mind reminded her of what it felt like to be stabbed. It took a certain kind of evil to do it, a certain mindset, to stab another and mean it. For a moment she imagined him sticking both blades in her hind leg, a yelp of pain, the flow of blood. She shuddered subconsciously, turning away. If he did do it, she didn't want to watch him stab her. She was perfectly capable of taking a beating or administering one, but she regretted the day she angered the pony with a knife. He made her regret it twice-over. She had been scarred far deeper than just physically.
 
"Red spots... If I was going to attack you, I would've done it by now, silly colt. You probably wouldn't've known it was happening until it had already happened. I would've done it when we were both sitting and comfortable. But I... didn't." She didn't turn back to look at him, but instead waited for him to start walking again before she moved, still looking forward. "You seemed like you had something interesting to say. I don't usually afford others that opportunity, but it felt like a special day." Her mind went back to Tinker; she had vaguely started to regret what she had done, if only deep in her subconscious. She wouldn't admit to herself that she regretted it; it would be a lie to say she didn't even enjoy it a little, even if he hadn't really deserved it. Maybe he was a kind pony after all. Maybe she wasn't so kind. It confused her why it had affected her so much. Maybe feeling the difference in these two ponies had touched her a bit. They certainly weren't so bloodthirsty as she, but time would tell. "So you live alone, then? Or do you... share?"

"N-No I...live alone. Didn't ever even think to look for someone...guess I was busy with other things. We...probably shouldn't keep Tinker waiting any longer." Cascade sighed and begun walking next to Eclipse again. "Well, I used to live alone until last night." He thought to himself.

 

Cascade had already decided he wouldn't tell Eclipse what had happened last night, didn't feel she needed to know. After all, he just met her. What surprised Cascade about Eclipse is how nice she was, or atleast, how well she pulled off being nice. He knew she didn't have an accident with paint. He saw through that lie like a clear window. Although he would never tell Eclipse that.

Eclipse didn't have any particular response planned for his answer. It didn't surprise her that he had said he lived alone. He had changed the subject so soon that it was like a cattle-prod to her curiosity. She had to know eventually, for the sake of her sanity, even if he was just some banner-less resident. It was a challenge, and she wasn't going to lose such a simple one.

 

"Yeah... best not..." The remainder of the trip was quiet. Up ahead was the scrap-heap that she had met Tinker at. She could tell by the way it had been worked on and by the buildings around it. It was the same place she had jumped him and questioned him, had her fun teasing him, and then kicked him. It was going to be hell explaining it -- to both of them. Tinker, probably more of all. She knew who he was now, and hoped he would understand. He had always been understanding. He had always been different.

 

Eclipse looked over as the scrap pile drew closer, looking for the pony. Sure enough, he was still there sprawled out on the ground, blood on his face and head. Her mouth felt a bit dry and she bit her tongue -- it was all she could do to keep herself from getting more than a bit angry with herself. Her eyes grew wide as she imagined him dead, killed from her kick. How could she explain that? She wouldn't be able to live with herself if she had killed him. Cascade and quite a few others probably wouldn't be able to let her either.

 

Eclipse stopped in her tracks, watching him lie still. "Cascade..." she said, looking at him before raising a hoof towards Tinker. "It's... Tinker..."

 

((Time to start piecing the puzzle pieces together... How fun. Also, sorry Cascade, but I probably won't be able to post so late into the night for the next couple of weeks. Midnight here now and finals are next week. Otherwise, after that should be fair game.))

((Its fine. I also won't be able to respond until 4:20pm GMT on weekdays cause of school.))  As they walked up to the workshop, Cascade heard Eclipse mumble something. He turned his head in her area to ask her to say it again when he saw her pointing her hoof at something. Looking in the direction, what Cascade saw made his veins run cold.

 

It was Tinker, sprawled out on the floor of his workshop covered in blood. "My...Celestia..." Cascade was shocked to the point of no return. Never in his life did he ever think he would see an actual dead body, that is, if he was dead. He walked up slowly to the body and begun examining him. Putting his hoof on Tinkers neck, he felt for a pulse of life. "Please don't be dead, Please don't be dead, Please don't be dead." Cascade repeatedly thought to himself. He felt a pulse. "OH THANK CELESTIA." He turned towards Eclipse and begun to speak. "He's not dead!" Cascade smiled. "But he's knocked out and beaten up badly." Cascade looked back at the body. "Who do you think did this do him?" He said as he began cleaning off some of the blood with a rag nearby.

Well, ain't this a sight for sore eyes... Another pony, at last.

 

Just as she approached her destination, she saw a mare that kinda looked like a drug dealer. But there was something about her that she was off about. Huh, you look familiar, she thought. She quickly took out her book and searched for the pictures she had on every gangs present. After searching for a while, she saw her picture.

 

Name: Onyx

Gang: Hydras

 

Intended to fool the other gangs that she was spying upon, she quickly changed the pin she was wearing. From the Dragons Emblem, to the Hydras Emblem. After the quick changed, she approached to her casually, not letting her notice that something was off.

 

"Hey, I heard you were selling," she said. "Let me see your wares."

((Actually, he's not in his workshop, he's out in the street a block or two away from his shop.))
 
Eclipse was frozen in place as Cascade felt Tinker's neck. She stood watching and waiting for the verdict. When it came back as 'not dead' she almost jumped for joy, but instead she ran over and skidded to a halt on the other side of Tinker. The blood on his face was starting to dry and darken, but he hadn't moved much from where he lay. His torch was still next to him and the piece he had cut was still there. He hadn't left or gotten up in the meantime. I must've really kicked him a bit harder than I thought.
 
"I dunno, but at least he's.. still alive," she said, wiping some of the blood away with her hoof. He looked peaceful, lying there in the street, and it almost made her retch. She felt a little sick to her stomach again, as she had that morning. She had taken her sickness out on him and this was the price she paid. Eclipse ran a hoof through her mane, "Let's get him back to his place, maybe he'll come to there," she said, bending down next to where he lay and tossing her head towards her back, "Load him up."

Onyx watched as the stallion entered the alleyway. He seemed uneasy as he shuffled into the shadows, his red and black mane cast over his eyes. She knew him well, he was a regular and a member of her own gang. As he approached her, she raised a hoof in recognition and nodded her head. Ordyin was a doctor, the best one around by her standards. Quiet, but a good stallion.

 

She was handed a note and took it from him. Reading the note, she began taking out the appropriate drugs from her backpack. "You can get your hand off that, you know. I won't bite if you don't." She gestures to his weapon. "You got the money, or am I gonna have to wait for the big guys to come to me again?" She recalled her last dealing with those of higher authority than her; she still had the black eye.

Cascade lifted up Tinker from the ground and placed him on Eclipse's back stomach first. "Um...Im not saying going back to his place is a bad idea. But, are you sure you don't wanna take him to the hospital? He could be badly injured."

Eclipse groaned under the weight of the pony on her back, but she managed to stand up and hold him. He was about the same size, if not a bit bigger, but she found a spot that she could keep her balance without falling and be able to move at a slow walk, with extra effort. "Look, if we walked to the hospital, and... I went in there carrying... him, then... hnng... then they'd think... we did it." She stopped and gave a little hop to readjust Tinker's position on her back before continuing, "Besides, I've seen... worse. He's just a little... battered. He'll be fine."

 

The trio continued down the street towards where Tinker's shop sat, nestled between two taller buildings. It was a non-assuming place, not much more than a garage with a small apartment attached above for its sole resident, Tinker. It was aptly named with its owner's name in a variety of neon letter styles and colored signs -- "Tinker's" -- and it looked as though there might have once been more to the sign, but it had either fallen off, broken, or been stolen by rival gangs.

 

She glanced back at Tinker as they approached the overhead metal garage door that separated the inside of his shop from the outside world. Little scraps of metal and some random nuts, bolts, screws, wiring, and other small objects littered the front entrance from where he had been dragging it back that morning. Eclipse had never really been to Tinker's shop, but she was positive it must have been his. Only a fool would miss the connections to be made.

 

After stopping for a moment to give her shaky legs a rest, Eclipse turned and nodded to Cascade, urging him to open the door for her. ((If you don't mind, I'm gonna assume you opened the door, that way I can go ahead and describe the inside of his shop.))

 

As the door crept upwards, the smell of grease, oil, and assorted metals and woods wafted out into their faces. In the center of the room was a pneumatic lift in fairly decent shape. To the left of the room was an old wooden cart half-full of the broken down scrap he had been collecting to sell. The far portion was his wide collection of tools and a few rolling toolboxes overflowing with different sizes of wrenches, screwdrivers, and other things. The right side held his workbench and designs plastered and taped to the wall, complete with notes, scribbles, and scrawlings. At first glance, it would almost seem like a foreign language to try and read what he had written, but they were all hastily written in, likely from his mouth while he was working on something else so as not to lose the idea. A simple set of stairs led up to where his housing was, but the stairs looked a little treacherous for her to attempt with him on her back.

 

Eclipse made her way inside, looking about for a decent place to set him down. The floor didn't seem like the best place, but the workbench looked acceptable. She slowly dragged herself over to the workbench and stood perpendicular to it and, heaving a groan, she reared up far enough to let him slide off and onto the table. It had been a fight and she felt a little weak, but she leaned against the bench and rolled him over on his back with a sigh.

 

"Well... now what? Ought we clean him up... or...?"

"I think that would be..." Cascade turned his head away from Eclipse to a table covered in scrap. "Hey look! My controller!" Cascade trotted over to the junk table and began examining his precious PS6 controller. It was a small slim looking controller with a assorted amount of buttons and triggers. Cascade turned it all around in his hooves. "Man this thing looks good as new! I wonder if he fixed the R2 button.." He pressed the R2 button with his hoof and jumped for joy. "Oh my Celestia! He actually fixed it! That trigger has been broken forever!" Cascade put the controller back down on the table and began scanning the rest of the area. "I wonder what else he has here." Cascade stopped mid tracks when he saw the handle of something sticking out of the pile of junk. "Hello! Whats this?" Cascade pulled the handle out of the pile with his hoof to reveal it's true form.

 

It was a long device with a brown and grey finish. The handle of it was white while the middle of the device was curved and covered in a black material. At the top of it was four grey claws surrounding a green emitter. On the middle was two buttons, one bigger than the other. The curious Cascade pressed the top button and out popped the claws, giving a better view of the green thing at the end. He wanted to see what the other button did so he pointed it at the garage door and pressed the button. The green emitter at the end of the device lit up and made a buzzing noise. The garage door suddenly closed. Cascade stopped pressing the button and looked at it. "A garage door remote? Lame!" He threw the object to the side without a care and gave his attention back to Eclipse.

 

"As I was saying, I think that would be the best action for us right now."

((Sonic screwdriver. Too easy, muffin please. Squint's asleep tud, patience.))

 

Eclipse nodded, turning her head as she heard metal cluttering to the ground beside her. "Watch it, you're liable to break something." Grabbing a rag, she started to wipe some of the blood from Tinker's face. He was a little puffy around the eyes and looked a little banged up, but he was otherwise visually fine to her. "You'll be fine, Midnight's here..." she whispered, looking his face over carefully, "I'm sorry, Tink. Besides, isn't this how we first-" Tinker's nose scrunched up as he started to move a bit, causing a wide-eyed Eclipse to jump back. She hadn't quite expected him to wake up at that particular moment in time.

 

Tinker yawned as he stretched, a couple joints popping as he did so. He scrunched his nose up again before opening his eyes and looking down at the tip of it. Slightly confused, he brought a hoof up and touched it, yelping in pain as his sore nose touched back. "Ow!" he exclaimed, looking around at where he now found himself. "What the... Where... Where am I? Am I home?" His vision fell on Eclipse and he shifted his weight back away from her. "What are you doing here? Wait... weren't you...?"

 

"Tinker!" Eclipse exclaimed, trotting back over to the table to a rather shocked Tinker, "Tinker, it's me...?"

 

"Yeah, it's you! What are you thinking coming back here after what you did!? I've got half a mind to..." he grabbed a wrench and chucked it at her, narrowly missing her. "What the hell happened?"

 

Eclipse looked surprised that he would throw something at her, "Whaddya mean, what happened? I... I don't... Tinker, listen, you're gonna be fine. Just..." She sighed, hoping that there would be a slim chance he would have forgotten.

 

"Just what? Just explain what happened and maybe, just maybe I'll hear you out one more time."

 

"Tinker, this is crazy," she said, approaching him slowly but stopping in her tracks as he readied a hammer. "You know how I feel. I... I mistook you. You've changed since then. You would've recognized me... but you didn't recognize me either... so I..."

 

Tinker looked at her cautiously, lowering the hammer slowly. She was right, he hadn't exactly recognized her at the time. She had grown more... brutal since they had first met. He looked away for a second before turning back and brandishing the hammer again. "Well, you make a point, I didn't recognize you then, but don't think this changes how I feel." Tinker stopped and gave a groan as he relaxed a bit and put his hind legs over the edge of the table. "You know, every time I get hurt, you just so happen to show up. Every time I wake up somewhere else, you're there? Tell me, why is that, Midni-" Tinker stopped again, this time upon noticing Cascade's presence. He glanced back over at Eclipse as if to ask, How long has he been there? A moment of awkward silence set in before he spoke again. "Oh... hey, Cascade... I didn't even... Sorry, I didn't mean for you to see that... We just... Uh..."

Cascade stood there as this little rumble took place. He didn't wanna intervene in fear he might get hit with that wrench. As he watched this unfold, he overheard the conversation that they were having with each other.  Cascade wasn't the best at paying attention, but when it was necessary, he had the mind of an elephant and the ears of a....i'm not exactly sure...BUT THEY WERE GOOD! A couple things kept ringing in his mind. "You'll be fine, Midnight's here..............Yeah, it's you! What are you thinking coming back her after what you did!?" 

 

Cascade had begun to form a sentence when Tinker spoke to him. He looked at him with a straight face. "It's fine Tinker." He kept looking at him while he begun to speak to Eclipse. "Eclipse. Who the hell is Midnight and what does he mean by "what you did?" Cascade looked at Eclipse now.

Eclipse didn't turn her head away from Tinker for a slight fear of more flying objects, but answered slowly, "I'm Midnight... Midnight Eclipse... But Tinker was the only one who I've told my whole name to, up until now, that is." She looked down at her hooves and sat down with a thud, "I already told you, we have a... a love-hate relationship of sorts."

 

Tinker growled stepping off the workbench and towards her with the hammer, "No, it's more like a hate and tolerate ((Copyright, do not steal)) relationship. I just... I-I put up with you and you seem to enjoy making me wanna hate you." He gritted his teeth angrily before continuing, "Ya' know... you're good at that, if nothing else. You can make a nice pony want to break your legs with a hammer. You haven't changed a bit."

 

"Tinker! What the-"

 

"Tell him what you did. You tell him, or I will."

 

Eclipse bit her lip hard. She had hoped to avoid this discussion in front of a pony who already wasn't sure who she was, but knew Tinker wouldn't allow him out without hearing it. There was no way out of it. She was in deep crap. When she finally let go of her lip, she had bit hard enough to cut the skin on the inside, releasing an iron-y taste that she knew all too well. With a deep swallow, she decided it best to just start at the most recent occurrence. "I was out this morning roaming the streets and I saw a pony cutting scrap in Ursa territory. I didn't know we had any salvage teams out, and I just assumed... I... I mistook him for an outsider and I..." She looked over to Cascade, knowing he wouldn't understand what she was saying. She knew he was going to hate her for this. "I couldn't contain it... I hit him and I... I lead him on... I was just playing, but I-I didn't know it was him and... I didn't mean to hurt him, it just..." She shook her head sadly, "If I had known it was him I-"

 

"Just stop it. You've hurt me enough as it is you foolish filly. You make me regret the day I found you in that alleyway. I should've left you there," he grumbled angrily.

 

"Tinker, I..."

 

"I know, you've said it a thousand times. I don't want to hear it. Just... just let me sit down, my head is killing me, thanks..." He dropped the hammer and put a hoof to his head as he staggered over to the workbench, leaning himself against the edge of the table for support. "You're freakin' crazy, I don't know why I hang out with you. You always get me hurt, and I still let you hang around. Why is that?"

 

"I don't know, you just like my attitude?"

 

"No. You're a bitch, and I hate your attitude," he responded, trying his best to keep a straight face as he wiped his brow with the rag.

 

Eclipse stifled back a giggle, "Tinker, don't flirt with me, it's rude."

 

"Shut up, Mid, you make me want to swallow screws until I bleed to death," he threw the rag back onto the table, "You two want a drink or something? I figure we're all here, so we might as well do something. Midnight, we've got some catching up to do, Cascade, make yourself at home. I can explain in a minute, what'll ya' have?"

Cascade was just not all there today. "I don't drink.." Not only was he not all there, he was a combination of shocked and confused. One minute, they were talking about what had happened this morning to being flirtly. "Well, that explains the spots." Cascade thought quickly. Rubbing his face with his hoof, Cascade sighed. He knew today was gonna be crazy, considering last night, but not this crazy. Cascade just decided if he was along for the ride, he might as well get comfortable. "Tinker, scratch that. Whiskey on the rocks. Thanks."

Tinker nodded, "Three whiskeys it is then." He headed up the stairs, taking his time as he went. His hooves echoed his location on the hard wood floor above as he walked across his apartment to his cabinet, from which he produced an old bottle of whiskey he had been saving for a somewhat special occasion. It really wasn't that expensive, so he decided it would work. From the freezer he grabbed a small tray of ice cubes and slipped three small glasses carefully into his vest pocket. He laid the bottle sideways on the tray and picked the tray up in his mouth before walking back downstairs to where the other two were.

 

Tinker wheeled a waist-high toolbox over to the center of the room with a free hoof and urged his two unlikely guests to get comfortable as he poured the drinks and dropped in a couple of ice cubes to Cascade's and his own glass, leaving Midnight's cube-less on purpose. He wouldn't be called nothing if not hospitable, but judging by the look on Cascade's face, he needed an explanation.

 

The mare took her glass in her mouth and tipped her head back, downing much of her drink with haste. She quickly sat the glass back down on the toolbox with a clang, squinting her eyes as the liquid made its way down. "Vanilla? With smoke? When did you get a taste?"

 

"Oh hush, you were the one who told me there was more than one taste to a good whiskey," he said, taking the glass between his hooves and drinking half. He had never been much of a drinker himself, but he enjoyed the taste on occasion. He turned to Cascade as he sat his drink down, "I guess you don't really know her then? That explains why you look so confused. So I'll explain because she's keen on leaving out the details sometimes. We've known each other for a long time, but it wasn't until this morning that we saw each other again since..."

 

"Three years ago was the last time we met," Eclipse answered for him, "Seven since we first met."

 

"Yeah, something like that. It's been a while. Anyways, when we first met, she was a bit... down on her luck. She was dying in a back alley a little ways away from where I lived. I found her when I went out searching trash cans for junk and electronics, so I took her to my... well, it's what's now my garage," he said, looking around at the place and imagining how much it had changed since then. He hadn't imagined it becoming permanent at that time, but it had just stuck with him. "Anywho, we stuck together quite a bit and watched each other's backs until we both chose rival gangs and... Well, we stayed in touch for a couple years after that, but we just both got too busy and... I guess we kinda forgot about each other." He downed the rest of his drink and poured another for all of them.

 

Eclipse nodded and grinned a little, nudging him with her elbow and nearly making him drop the whiskey, "Yeah, hey, you remember that time when that tarantula crawled out from underneath that stack of 'magazines' you used to have? Them 'sports edition' ones we took from that house?" She stifled back a snicker as she spoke, but was interrupted by Tinker before she could finish telling her version of the story.

 

"Yeah, I remember you looking through every magazine afterwards to make sure there were no more spiders and you screamed like a little foal when I snuck up on you."

 

"Ha ha! That was ages ago, I can't believe you even remember that. I looked ten times better than any of the mares in those magazines, and I still do."

 

"That's up for debate, I think they're still around here somewhere."

 

Eclipse gave him a mischievous grin, "No, I threw them all out. I didn't want any spiders getting me. Besides, I'm still better to look at than those heaps of smeared ink."

 

Tinker laughed, "I caught you looking at them too, don't lie. And you might've thrown out all of them, save for my secret stash. I've still got some tucked away and you'll never find them!"

 

The pair bantered back and forth, recalling a couple more foalhood stories as they drank another glass. After their laughter died down a bit, Tinker turned to Cascade, who was still looking a bit lost. Maybe a bit moreso now than before. Tinker spoke up, leaning forward on the toolbox. "Look, if I'd have known she was even still around after the fires I would've told you -- to avoid her maybe, but never mind that. We were old friends once, probably the best of such, before the world went to hell like it did anyways. I thought she was dead, but I guess she was a bit more stubborn than I thought. Don't let her fool you, I'm amazed she didn't greet you the same way she did me this morning. It certainly woke me up and put me back to sleep, I can tell you that much. But anyways, how'd she round you up? It certainly couldn't have been more interesting than he we first met. She's an odd one, alright."

Cascade sat listening to their foalhood stories while downing his whiskey. If you met somepony from Trottingham that knew Cascade previously, they would tell you right off the bat that Cascade never drank. As a matter of fact, this was his first drink ever. You usally have to do alot to drive a stallion to drink. These ponies, were the straw that broke the camel's back. He didn't mind it though. He was bound to start drinking soon or later because of Ponyville, why not speed up the process? As they blabbered on, Cascade looked around the workshop(Im gonna assume they are in the workshop)for anything to peek his curiousity. He looked on floor and spotted the "grarage door remote" device. "Pointless thing. Why make it all flashy if it only opens garage doors?" He thought to himself. The rest of the room didn't serve him any better. It was all just random scrap junk, tools, and some notes. Figuring he should probably get back to the conversation, Cascade turned his attention back towards them. And just time too, he was asked a question. "Well, I was on my way to your place to pick up my controller when we met on the street. We talked a bit and told me she was heading there too. Long story short, we found you." Cascade didnt think it was nessasary to tell Tinker about the little details about Eclipse. Not yet atleast.

Tinker nodded slowly, "I was out getting metal anyways, but it looks like I'll have to finish that later. Better to spend the day with a couple of friends, I can sell scrap any day." He stretched his legs, "Wait, she talked a bit? She used to not talk to anypony at all, and I've got a hard time believing that's changed much since, but if what you say is true, then she might just be getting a bit better at it. Her innate sense of curiosity doesn't help matters, she's always gotta know stuff. Probably why she was walking the streets. She's done it for years, even after I stopped going with her."

 

Eclipse sat looking into her again-empty glass as Tinker spoke about her. He was true, she still didn't usually speak to others unless she needed to, maybe less than she used to, but it was uncommon for her to choose to speak. Something about Cascade urged her to speak, perhaps seeing something similar to Tinker in him, though she wasn't sure. She wasn't really up for discussing it either, she could think about it on her own later.

 

"So it's been a while since you brought that controller in, Cascade, what've you been up to since then? Anything good?"

Living released the weapon and let his hoof fall back to the ground, he nodded his head in response "I don't have the money, neither do I want my head on the chopping block for returning without those." He paused for a moment then continued "All I can do is try to tell them to make sure you get paid properly, no more. So unless you want me to take them, you'll give them up quickly." Somehow, Living remained completely calm though he was threatening Onyx, his expression nor stance had changed except for his roof rising back the blade's handle.

"Listen here." Onyx stood abruptly, spreading her hooves to balance herself. "Firstly, we're in the same bucking gang so that is no way to talk to your equal. Secondly, I am a mare and that is no way to talk to a mare. Thirdly, if you hadn't spoken down to me then I might have given you these." She shakes the bags of drugs in the air, then drops them into her backpack which she zips shut. It was knowledge to any of her customers that she valued respect over anything else, any member of the Hydras would say the same. Being both a member of the Hydras and a regular customer of hers, Ordyin would know this well.

 

Wielding her dagger, she reared on to her hind legs. Hindwalking was a skill she had developed to assist in combat; she preferred melee weapons, so this ability made it easier for her to bounce about and avoid attacks. She listed her free hoof and brushed her short dark red mane out of her eyes, showing her vivid yellow eyes. "You wanna go? I'm a good dancer."

((Strike to the rescue....))

 

Strike who had been walking for quite a while ((Jesus I think I walked the entire fucking town)) happened to be passing an alleyway where he over heard what appeared to be an argument. Sadly he only heard part of it, something to do with treating a mare right give something probably drugs out of all things...  And then ''I'm a good dancer'' most likely a fight would take place there soon. But to Strike's surprise the Stallion left. Strike waited for for the grey unicorn to leave before entering the alleyway. 

 

Strike slowly walked down the alleyway up to the mare "Tsk Tsk Tsk... My my what happened here?"

"You'd best start watching your mouth." The orange-coated mare muttered under her breath as Ordyin left. The two of them had never really got along. She had made her best efforts (in her biased opinion), she felt no need to give him any more respect. He pushed the conflict on, as she saw it - she just flowed with it.

 

Onyx remained standing and leaned against the damp red brick wall, remaining in her reared-up position. "None of your business unless you're a customer." She opened her backpack slightly to expose her goods. "You had better pay up front, too. Don't be like that grey-coated puss you just saw, I don't want to be chasing you around." She brushed her mane back over her eyes slightly so she didn't appear so aggressive. "Buying or leaving? Oh, and don't go tell the pigs."
