MLP: Dawn of the Rebellion [IC/Started/Not Accepting]

[Dementuo]

Morning nodded to Sly. "[i]Ah... Thank you, friend.[/i]" she said, smiling. Then turning to the bartending pony, she shouted "[i]A jug or two of Sake, and keep them coming![/i]" a look of glee crossing her face.

Crescent stepped up behind Wonder, his eyes hidden from view by his hood. "[i][color=#0000cd]Curious... I do not remember such a concentration of activity existing here, since my most recent visit... Seems that much has changed in the past few centuries.[/color][/i]" Crescent mused silently to himself, now stepping past Wonder and looking around at the various machines and tables. "[i][color=#0000cd]Perhaps we should join the crowd. All the better to conceal our presence... Remember, we are still in danger.[/color][/i]" He said to Wonder in passing, heading off towards a row of slot machines.

[CMRenji]

Blazer walked up to the bar looking at the enormous variety of alcohols. She let out a gasp as she took it all in. "They've got ales... and ciders... and vodka, and gin, and brandy and and... everything! Today is the day where I just kick back and drink 'till I'm merry."

She got up on the bar stool and laid some of her money on the table. "My good barkeep, I'll have some of that red wine, 3 glasses of your finest brandy, a bottle of gin, and a pyramid made of vodka shots. Don't worry sir, I'm good for all this." She said smiling.

[DL]

Storm sighed. [i]I-idiot...it's more like, it's embarassing...and I'm not...used to it.[/i]

"This is troublesome..." he muttered to himself, with a sigh, then hurried to catch up with Honeypot. "Wait up, Honey, you shouldn't overexert yourself yet-"

He noticed what he had called her and blushed a bit more. "Pot. Yes. Pot in the Honey. I mean, Honey in the pot. I mean, Honey MADE of pot- I mean.......Honeypot. Let's uh...yeah, let's just go."


As soon as Sniffy and Dawn entered the casino, their eyes lit up. Well, Sniffy's did. Dawn's remained as emotionless as ever. However, there was a glint of amusement in them. As if, she was studying the scene she saw before her eyes.

"These ponies seem to be having fun, Sniffy. Shall we join them?"

"hmm....I remember reading something about gambling. Umm.......I think the book said, it was something innocent, to make friends, so sure, let's go~"

Little did Sniffy know, Sonic had cleverly played a prank on her, by replacing the word "hopscotch" in every book she owned with "casino".

With colored pencils.

[Grunt Issun]

The bartender who was just addressed by the Red and White pony, and then again by a rather strange looking Mare, who also happened to be Red and White, silently nodded. He complied with the strange looking Mare's wishes and brought a jug of Sake to the counter, and put it in front of Morning.

The other bartender, who was being addressed by the Blue and Auburn mare simply stared for a moment. This particular Mare looked like a bit of a lightweight, and yet she was ordering a massive amount of alcohol. She even looked underage. The bartender's horn, for he was a Unicorn, glowed green briefly, and he stared into the Mare's eyes. His horn stopped glowing after a second. Satisfied that his magic would never lie, he decided that the Mare was old enough to be drinking. He still doubted she could handle so much, but he couldn't be held accountable for that, and so he prepared the drinks she had requested.

Honeypot grinned smugly at Storm's stuttering. "Nooope! You called me Honey! Not Honeypot, just Honey! Admit it! You're doing it too!" she laughed, knowing that she was getting far too much satisfaction out of this situation. After a moment more of giggling, it began to irritate her wound yet again, and she suddenly shut her eyes tight. "Ow, ow, owwww! Okay, yeah, you're right, maybe I shouldn't overexert myself too much" she admitted.

Wonder had, almost unconsciously, followed Blazer to the bar. He was, in fact, barely paying attention, until he heard Blazer finish her order. At this point, Wonder's jaw literally dropped. He was about to shout out her name, but he caught himself, "W-Wildfire! Don't you think- I mean- That's a bit much, isn't it?!" he stammered. [i]'She can't possibly- ah... This can only end badly'[/i]

Sly had reached the Blackjack tables by now, but before he could begin a game, noticed that his new companions had arrived. "Ah, splendid" he muttered, "Well, they'll enjoy themselves just fine, I imagine. Now, where was I? Oh yes" he said, still speaking to himself. He turned to face the dealer. "I'd like to play a game, my good sir" he explained, throwing some bits on the table. His gamble. If you could call it a gamble.


Snowfire lazed around in his bed. It sure was taking Sniffy a long time to respond. Come to think of it, she really should be finished with her job. Surely Dawn couldn't get in the way that much, and even with that sickness that she was always carrying around, she was still an excellent agent. Something may have happened to her. Or she was fooling around. Knowing his friend, it was probably the latter. He sighed wearily, "Damn it, Sniffy. Can't you just do your job?" he muttered to himself.

[Dementuo]

Morning looked over her shoulder, the Sake jug already at her lips and slowly emptying, now looking over at Blazer and Wonder. "[i]Awww, come on, W- Ah... Canvas! There's never too much![/i]" she said with an elated expression on her face. "[i]Oh, and Wildfiire, you silly mare.[/i]" she started, turning to Blazer. "[i]Half those things you said aren't even words, you know. I mean, Brandy? Vodka? What kind of thing would that even be, hm?[/i]" Morning stated confidently, finally returning to her jug.

Crescent stepped up just behind Sly, his eyes scanning over the curiously-shaped table from under his hood. "[i][color=#0000cd]How interesting... I suppose I shall observe for now[/color][/i]," he thought, remaining visibly motionless. "[i][color=#0000cd]Perhaps there will be a time to apply whatever new information or skill I acquire from this... game.[/color][/i]" he finished his thought.

[CMRenji]

"Don't worry, Wo- er- Canvas. I can handle my alcohol quite well." Blazer stares down at the wide assortment of alcohols and pats her hooves together.

Within a few moments, she downs the wine, all of the Brandy, the whole bottle of gin, and the entire pyramid of shots.

"Whooowee, that was nice." She seemed to be barely tipsy when she pulled out some more money. "Go ahead and get me a few more glasses of Brandy, my good colt." She said with a smirk.

She looked over at Morning who was questioning what she had ordered. Blazer looked over at her laughing. "If half that stuff wasn't real, then I dunno what the heck I just drank!"

[Grunt Issun]

Wonder held his head with a forehoof, as if he was having another headache. He looked back up at Blazer, "Oh, guys... I just worry about you, is all" he muttered. He paused for a moment. "I mean... It's hard not too, watching you drink all that. It's really not healthy, Wildfire..."

The bartender serving the blue mare looked quizzically at said Mare. She's insane, he decided. The colt is right, he knew, she'd kill herself of alcohol poisoning if she went on. No matter how well you can handle alcohol, it doesn't change how much is healthy. But, as was his job, he served her requests, and retrieved more Brandy for her. Indeed, he thought, this was an expensive order. He doubted she could actually pay for it. Perhaps she was with that red stallion who was paying for the weird-looking-mare's drinks. He hoped so. He didn't like dealing with ponies who couldn't pay. Terribly messy.

Sly glanced back as the Stallion from before began speaking to him. "Ahah! Very well then, allow me to show you how this game works then, my cloaked companion!" he exclaimed, fake joy in his voice. He motioned for the dealer to begin, and he laid a card down for Sly and himself, his face down. On the card he had laid down, there was a picture of a Sun, above a Red Heart. In the center of the card was a picture detailing Princess Celestia.

"Now, as you see, the dealer here deals a card to me, and a face down one to himself. The aim of the game is to reach a total value of twenty-one, or as close to as possible. Cards are numbered two through ten, alongside the Royals, Celestia, Luna, and Cadence, which are all worth Ten. There is also a card called an Ace, which can be worth either One or Eleven, depending on the situation. As I said before, the aim of the game is to get to Twenty-One. After every deal, you can decide to stop, at which point the Dealer reveals his cards, or continue playing. If the Dealer's cards are higher than your own, you lose, if you go over twenty-one, you lose, and if you get TO Twenty-one, or beat the dealer, you win," Sly explained.

"Now, honestly, nopony quits after the first card, so I think I'll continue. Hit me" he said. The dealer dealt another card. If you were looking closely, one may have seen the slightest shimmer on the bottom of the card, but it was probably nothing. The card was laid down, at appeared as a Large, single Spade. An Ace. "Hah hah!" Sly laughed, "See there, my boy? That's what we call a perfect game!" he exclaimed. The Dealer paid out Sly's earnings. "So, what do you say, my friend? Want to give it a try?"

[Dementuo]

Crescent took a seat next to Sly, obviously interested. "[i][color=#0000cd]I see, a game of luck...[/color][/i]" he said. Crescent then paused for a moment. [i]"[/i][color=#0000cd]Some higher power must be toying with me. The temptation to partake in this game of chance is almost overwhelming to myself... Why must I be so intrigued by defying possibilities with actualities?[/color]" Crescent thought. He gave out a sigh, and gave into the temptation. "[i][color=#0000cd]Fine then. I shall join this game.[/color][/i]" He said to the dealer, who merely nodded and passed him his cards. Crescent lifted the face-down card up to look at it, and saw the image of his former mentor staring coldly back at him. Right next to his face-down card was a black ace. Crescent flipped over his card and showed it to the dealer. "[i][color=#0000cd]I believe this signifies a win for me, does this not?[/color][/i]" he inquired.

Morning rolled her eyes and gave a long, half-drunk sigh. "[i]Canvas, come on! It's fun! Besides...[/i]" she said, as another jug of brew slid across the bar out of nowhere and into Morning's outstretched hoof. "[i]It's not like this stuff is dangerous. I said I had it with every meal back home, didn't I? And look...[/i]" she stood up and pranced about a bit, showing herself off to anypony nearby. "[i]I'm just fine, aren't I?[/i]" Morning said playfully.

[CMRenji]

"Wonder, please don't worry bout little ol' us. We're just havin some fun is all." She throws quite a bit more money on the table for the bartender. "Don't you dare fret about money or my health good colt. Keep tha change."

Blazer downs all of her brandy and places all the glasses gently back down on the bar table. "Ahh, today is a great day." She let out a small hiccup then walked over to Wonder. "Ca- *hic* canvas. I always thought you were a really co- *hic* co- *hic* cool colt." She gave him a hug then walked back to the bar, ordering a few more shots.

[DL]

Storm sat down next to the counter, beckoning Honeypot to come sit next to him. He looked at the shelves, and sighed.

"Drinking...I've actually never done that before. Umm...I think I'll sit this one out. We don't want everyone in our group to end up drunk. So...might just be the guy who hangs back a bit to watch out for you guys."

He looked at the bartender. "One hay smoothie...if you have those. And as for my companion..." he looked at Honeypot, waiting for her to ask for whatever she wanted.


Sniffy and Dawn approached the slot machines. Dawn stared at them, her gaze unwavering.

"Sniffy...there is a lot of soap trapped inside those steel beings. Should we rescue them?"

"...I...Dawn, I think that's a slot machine. I've read about them. See, you put in your coins, and then you push the level down. But it's really hard to win, it seems..."

After she put in the coins, the slots started rolling, and she pressed the lever down a few seconds after. The slots landed on straight three 7s, and the slot machine made a flashy noise, then coins started rolling out without sign of stopping. After a while, the coins stopped dropping, and the machine's sound whirred down to nothing again.

"...Oh my."

"The being is sick, Sniffy. Should I still pull down the metallic protrusion?"

"Umm...you want to play? Well, I was going to go to the bar, but..."

"It is fine, Sniffy. I am plenty capable enough to try this on my own accord."

"If you say so..." Sniffy responded, hesitantly, then went to join Storm and Honeypot at the counter.

[Grunt Issun]

Wonder hung his head and sighed, "If you say so... Doesn't make me worry any less, though" he replied "Your definition of fun doesn't seem to match up with mine..." . He remained looking down for a moment, until Blazer started talking to him, speech broken up by drunken hiccups. When she suddenly, hugged him, he instantly blushed furiously. His face turned completely red in a mere moment, and he was stammering gibberish repeatedly. "I- ah- uh- er- ah- um- ba- I- uh-" he choked out. When she released him, he shook his head quickly, but his blush was still extremely prevalent on his face. "I- um- Th-thank you...?"

Honeypot smiled at Storm, "Ah, you're so lame" she joked, "Aaaanyway... Suppose I'll just have a plain beer. I don't need anything special" Honeypot answered. The bartender nodded, and got both of the customers their orders.

Sly clapped his hooves together for Crescent, "Hah! Just beginning, and you've already got so much luck. You've got potential, buddy" Sly complimented him. [i]'Course, who needs luck when you've got powers like mine' [/i]he joked to himself, very proud of his cheating skills. But, even he had to admit that his companion's luck was impressive, especially if it stayed consistent.

[Dementuo]

The dealer passed Crescent a few chips and laid out new cards for him. Once again, Crescent found his old mentor staring back at him, a cold stare across the princess' face. Next to it, the face-down card. Crescent picked it up as he did before and found two tiny diamonds on it. "[i][color=#0000cd]I believe the term is to take a "hit", is it not? I suppose I'll take a third card.[/color][/i]" he said, laying the two cards down. The dealer flipped over the top of the deck, revealing nine little hearts on the top card. Crescent turned to Sly. "[i][color=#0000cd]This game... Are you certain that it is luck-based?[/color][/i]" he asked, flipping over his down card and revealing another 21. "[i][color=#0000cd]I mean, the gods may smile upon me more frequently than many others, though I was not aware they could intervene with such an activity...[/color][/i]" he said, passing his cards back to the dealer.

Morning had just finished off a sixth jug, leaving them stacked on the bar counter. She hopped over to Wonder and Blazer, grabbing them both and pulling them into a group-hug. "[i]Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah. Gotta stay here.[/i]" she said with obvious glee. "[i]Safety in numbers, after all![/i]" she teased.
Morning then felt a sudden twinge of pain shoot through her head. She released her two friends and stumbled backwards a bit, regaining her composure almost immediately after. It was very faint, but Morning thought she had heard a soft roar from somewhere far away. She passed it off as nothing and grabbed another jug of the rice wine. [i]"Hey, W-w-w-w-w-w-w-w... Canvas! Try a little! It won't bite you.[/i]" she said happily, shoving the jug in front of him.

[Grunt Issun]

Wonder could barely draw another breath before Morning scooped both him and Blazer into another hug. His cheeks burned as his face grew even brighter red in just an instant. Once more, all that came from his mouth was a stream of babbling gibberish. Aside from that, he felt like his brittle bones were being crushed. As soon as Morning released them, Wonder's first thought was to check to make sure his bones had not cracked. They had not. He heaved a sigh of relief, but it was short lived, as Morning once again confronted him, this time asking him to try some of her Sake. Wonder hesitated for a bit, then turned to Morning, "Uh... No... No thank you, I... Think I'll pass this time, if you don't mind"

Sly clapped his hooves together once again, "Hah hah! Of course this is a game of luck! And it just so happens, you're the luckiest bastard I've ever met!" he joked, throwing his head back and laughing again. "You've got a gift, my friend. Just like me. I'm not so sure about all this god stuff, but when it comes down to it, luck is luck"

[DL]

Sniffy sat down next to Honeypot and Storm.

"Hey guys. Hope I'm not interrupting anything," she said, with a small wink. "I decided to leave Dawn alone for a bit, to come grab a drink. Everyone else seems to be having their own fun, but you two seemed a bit quiet."

Storm raised an eyebrow. He was hoping to spend some time alone with Honeypot. How troublesome. But this mare didn't seem unfriendly.

"Bartender~ Gimme a drink, k? A...umm...a bleu de course a la corsette, please. Or just vodka, if you don't have the other one."

"...Umm...are you okay?" Storm asked.

Sniffy cocked her head. "What do you mean?~"

Storm sighed. "Nothing."

[CMRenji]

Blazer got up on all fours after the group hug and wandered back over to the bar. "Bartender, keep a few more comin. We're gonna live it up tonight. Heck if ya want, drink some yourself. I'll buy."

Blazer then walked over to Wonder. "Come on Can... Can... Candy. Come and drink with us." She said smiling as wide as she could.

She looked over at Morning who was drinking a large jug of sake. "Heya Morning, how bout we do a trade? I take a sip of yours stuff and you can take a sip of mine?" She said as she waved a bottle of brandy. "Then we could take 'em and mix 'em together. I know that'll taste heavenly." She took a quick sip of her brandy before placing it in front of Morning.

[Dementuo]

Morning clapped her hooves together, laughing a bit. "[i]Haha, that's a wonderful idea![/i]" she said, reaching out for the bottle. She picked it up and quickly replaced it with her own Sake bottle. Morning held up the bottle high, some dignified look on her face. "[i]Cheers! To fine dining![/i]" she shouted, downing half of the bottle's contents and putting it back down on the bar counter.

Crescent sighed, leaving his fifth set of cards; A Two, an Eight, and an Ace, on the table as he got up. "[i][color=#0000cd]Pointless. This game cannot defy my rule, it leaves me with no interest. Perhaps I shall go and check in on the rest of the group... It is impossible to predict her when she drinks...[/color][/i]" Crescent muttered the last part, leaving the table and heading over to the bar.

[Grunt Issun]

Wonder let out a small moan of discontent. Now Blazer wanted him to drink to. Perfect. He glanced at her, "Blazer, I really don't think..." he began, but decided it was futile. He let out a defeated sigh. [i]'Oh, what am I to do? This is why I never wanted to come here... Pegasus feathers! Why must my friends be like this with alcohol?' [/i]He moaned again, then looked back at the jug of sake[i]. [/i]"Well... I suppose... maybe... one sip wouldn't hurt... I guess" he muttered, his mind cursing him for being so easily swayed. He levitated the jug up, using magic, and slowly brought it to his mouth, where it hovered slowly, as he began hesitating.

The bartender down on Storm's end looked quizzically at the new Mare who had entered the scene. "Um, Miss" he began, "I'm fairly certain that the first drink you ordered doesn't even exist... Not even in fantasy novels" he said. He shook his head, however, and gave her a shot of Vodka.

Honeypot giggled, taking a swig of her beer. "Friend, I have to say, you're really just as weird as your buddy over there" She joked, giggling again.


Snowfire's right hoof rested on the top of a large, wooden pole. His other forehoof was tied tightly behind his back. To his hind legs, large, thirty pound weights were attached. His eyes were closed. All this was taking place on the small balcony outside his room. After a moment, Snowfire loosened the tension in his foreleg, and his body drifted downwards, under the weights on his legs. He then pushed himself up with the strength in his foreleg, and repeated the process. [i]'Hm hm. This is much better than those weak ass pushups I was doing before. Maybe after this, I'll go for a fly. And after that, I can see the groomers. I don't know, I think my Mane needs a new style, with less gel. Pff, like I know anything about fashion. I should ask Delta what he thinks'[/i]

[Dementuo]

Crescent grabbed Wonder's collar and lifted him up, pulling him away from Blazer and Morning. He grabbed the mug out of his hoof and lowered it onto the counter, glaring at Wonder with serious eyes. "[i][color=#0000cd]Do not lose your head, young one. You must not succumb to pressure so easily.[/color][/i]" he said flatly. Morning popped up next to him, looking disappointed and annoyed. "[i]Brother, we're just having a bit of fun![/i]" she protested, the slur obvious in her tone. Crescent sighed. [i][color=#0000cd]"My dear, alcoholic sister, you drink far too much for your own good. You may give yourself poisoning if you continue.[/color][/i]" he mused, nudging her away. Morning nudged back in protest. "[i]Brother! You never let me have any fun...[/i]" she whined. He merely laughed. "[i][color=#0000cd]Oh, sister. Please, stop acting so childish. Now then, I believe this would be an ideal time...[/color][/i]" He turned to Wonder now. "[i][color=#0000cd]...to have a word with you, elsewhere.[/color][/i]" Crescent said, dragging Wonder through the rows of machines, outside the casino and into the cool night air.

Morning turned over to Blazer now, looking over her. "[i]...You know... You look really pretty.[/i]" she said bluntly.

Crescent set Wonder back down on the ground. He pulled something out from the depths of his cloak and held it up in front of him. It was the mirror shard he had broken off.
"[i][color=#0000cd]Perhaps this moment may not be the most ideal time, however... I am certain that she will not interfere now...[/color][/i]" he began. "[i][color=#0000cd]...I ask that you gaze into the depths once more. There is something that must be confirmed... You know this just as I do, yes?[/color][/i]" he asked, holding out the shard for Wonder to take.

[Grunt Issun]

Wonder yelped in surprise when Crescent lifted him up suddenly, and promptly scolded him for giving into pressure too easily. Being stared at by Crescent's cold, serious eyes, Wonder was scared out of his wits. "I- Um- Eh- S-sorry, sorry" he apologized quickly, tears nearly brimming in his eyes. He managed to calm himself down while Morning was arguing with her brother, and blinked any already formed tears from his eyes. After they had stopped, however, Crescent began dragging Wonder through the casino, causing him to yelp again, and then brought him outside, and let him back down.

Wonder looked to Crescent, as he began speaking. "The shard of the mirror" Wonder muttered, staring at it. "So... You want me to look into it again... And this is because of..." he began, speaking slowly, as if wanting Crescent to fill in the blanks, but proceeded after a moment, "Morning thinking I'm someone from your village" he finished. "Well, I don't have a choice, do I?" he asked, rhetorically. And so, he peered into the shard, as he was asked. At first, nothing actually happened, but after a moment, a massive headache struck Wonder, and he fell to the ground, grasping at his temples. After a moment, the pain went away, and Wonder's sense ceased. His entire being had retreated into his subconscious, as it occasionally had before, and he now found himself standing in a open, snowy field, in the far north.

[Dementuo]

"[i]Aetherone! Hey, Aetherone![/i]" A voice called out behind Wonder; It was Morning Sun, though she now looked significantly younger. Her mane was much shorter, and her eyes were still normal-looking, as opposed to their usual empty-blackness. The red markings that normally adorned her body were now gone. She was smiling brightly at Wonder, coming up next to him and pressing against his body. "[i]You went out exploring the woods with Aleph and Brother again, didn't you? You didn't come home for supper last night, and I was worried...[/i]" she began. Morning suddenly smacked him on the head, lightly. "[i]You shouldn't keep a mare waiting like that, Aetherone! It's impolite![/i]" Morning teased, giggling a bit afterwards.

[Grunt Issun]

Wonder - Or was it Aetherone? - looked back Morning. He laughed a bit, "Mmm... I MAY have done precisely that" he admitted, smiling lightly. He laughed again when she hit him on the head and yelled at him, "Yeah, yeah, I'm sorry, Morning" he apologized. "Anyway, it doesn't really matter, right? I'm alive, aren't I?" He pointed out, "So, what now, Morning?"

Snowfire, after reaching a count of 500 of his special pushups, flipped off of his pole, and landed on the ground, ripping his left foreleg out of its bonds on the way down. He decided that the fly could wait. Quickly, he made his way over to Delta's lodgings. Shortly after knocking, Delta came to the door. "Captain!" Delta exclaimed, and saluted, "What do you need?"

"No formalities, Delta. I'm here to talk to you as a friend, not as your superior"

Delta dropped the salute, and loosened his tensed muscles. "Oh. In that case, what's up, Snowfire?"

Snowfire invited himself into Delta's room, then sat down in a chair and blew a bit of hair from his face, "Well... Heh... This is probably the most silly thing I've ever asked you" Snowfire laughed.

"Oh?"

"Yeah... Say, Delta. You think my mane would look better down? I dunno, I mean, I think this style is just a bit ridiculous"

Delta paused for a moment, then suddenly burst out laughing, "I... I see. Um... Sure, Snowfire! I think you'd look great!" he replied, still laughing loudly. "Honestly, the mane style you have now... all that gel might weigh you down. I mean, hell, some fliers shave every bit of hair on their body to make themselves fly faster. You've got a suit, so you should be fine in that regard, but your mane isn't exactly aerodynamic.

Snowfire chuckled, "It's just like you to relate a simple topic to all your sciences and crap" Snowfire commented, "But, anyway, thanks, I really thought that I might restyle it some time soon... You know Delta... We never really do this, do we?"

"What do you mean?"

"Just talk. This is the first time in a while. I mean, it's all been soldier stuff recently. Don't get me wrong, I'd never regret serving Shadow Wing, but it's nice to forget about duties once in a while"

"Yeah, I know what you mean" Delta replied, "Who knows, maybe we won't have to be soldiers forever" Delta suggested.

"Yeah, maybe..." Snowfire replied, then bid farewell to Delta, and left his room, then began wandering the halls of the palace.

[Dementuo]

Morning hugged him tightly. "[i]Mhm! You're alive, that's what's important...[/i]" she said quietly. A moment later she let loose her grip and stepped back."[i]Well, now that I've found you, and since you're still in one piece, we should really get back home, hm?[/i]" Morning suggested, looking over towards the direction she had originally come from. "[i]And, you know...[/i]" she began again, staring off into the distance. "[i]...I've started seeing. At first it was just flashes, but it turned into visions, here and there. Everything from the past to the future.[/i]" she said solemnly. "[i]Oh, Aetherone... I... saw something that worried me...[/i]" She turned to look him in the eye, a sad look sparkling in her eyes. "[i]...I almost saw you die.[/i]"

[Grunt Issun]

Aetherone, as he will be referred to as, embraced Morning as well. "Ah, yes, that sounds good" he agreed, nodding, then began trotting off in the direction of home, until Morning began speaking. "Visions..." he muttered. He stopped completely, and turned back to Morning. He hummed thoughtfully, trying to think, when Morning brought up that she foresaw his near death. This worried him as well, but he hid it well. He put on a reassuring smile, and put a forehoof on Morning's shoulder. "Don't worry, Morning. I will not be dying anytime soon, believe me. This is me we are talking about, whatever happens, I would not allow something to separate us so suddenly" he told her, "Although, I would like to hear more about these visions you've been having, if you do not mind"

[Dementuo]

Morning nodded, a tear trickling down her face. "[i]I know, Aetherone, I know you won't. But, I'm still worried... I don't want to lose y[color=#696969]o[/color][color=#808080]u... [/color][color=#a9a9a9]I [/color][color=#d3d3d3]lo...[/color][/i]

Crescent grabbed Wonder by the collar again and shook him, bringing him back into reality. He slowly set him down once more, his eyes glaring seriously, his face solemn. "[i][color=#0000cd]You... You saw, did you not? No, no doubt you have...[/color][/i]" he said, stepping forward and tucking the shard back away into his cloak. "[i][color=#0000cd]Now... Do you understand the truth of the matter? Do you understand your reality? Tell me... Who are you?[/color][/i]"

[CMRenji]

Blazer blushed slightly as Morning said this. Mostly from the alcohol. "Why thanks a lot. *hic* You look pretty too." She said smiling a happy, drunken smile.

Blazer wandered around the casino, randomly hugging and chatting with ponies. She looked over at Honeypot, who was near Storm. "Icey *hic* how're you doin'? Isn't this place just- *hic* just- *hic* just great?"

She looked over at Morning. "Hey, come on over here! Maybe we can get Icey to mix drinks with us." She said, elated.
