- AiE – Erenehylitornos (Still untitled) Part Cuatro
- > You ended up staying the night at Rarity's place.
- > She gave you a few mattresses to go and you slept downstairs in some unused workroom.
- > What exactly was she trying to accomplish with you staying here?
- > Sure she was the Element of Generosity and Celestia had assured them that you were not a dangerous and evil demon.
- > Maybe you were overthinking this.
- > You cover your jimmies and decide to go and just outright ask her.
- > She was already up and working.
- > ”Good morning Anon. Did you sleep well?”
- > ”Yes. Thanks for allowing me to stay.”
- > Nicely folded set of garments floats up to you.
- > ”Try these on and tell me what you think.”
- > You hop behind one of those movable screens.
- > Alright, let's see what we have.
- > You have your basic t-shirt, plain white.
- > Just like you requested.
- > Next in line is your pants.
- > The pantlegs are too short and there are no pockets.
- > You sort of forgot to mention how crucial pockets were for you.
- > You zip back to Rarity.
- > While explaining you motion her how long the legs should be and why you need pockets.
- > ”This will do just fine. Just a few pointers for the next time.”
- > Your chit-chat goes on for good time until you remember what you had in mind.
- > You sit there awkwardly, observing your surroundings.
- > ”So uh... this might be a bit too personal question from someone you've known for one day..”
- > She stops and turns around.
- > ”What is it Anon?”
- > You sigh. Here goes nothing.
- > ”Is there something worrying you?”
- > She looks surprised.
- > ”I guess what I'm trying to ask you is why did you offer me a place to stay?”
- > ”I mean you are the Element of Generosity and all that, but it still strikes me abit odd.”
- > Her horn glows and you see a roll of fabric glide through the room.
- > ”I guess I owe you an explanation.”
- > A pair of scissors float up and cut the cloth in a clean sweep.
- > ”I think there is a thief in Ponyville.”
- > ”During the night I've heard someone sneaking around the house for several moments.”
- > She frowns.
- > ”I haven't actually seen anyp0ny out there, but I feel unease being alone.”
- > ”Surely the girls would help me find out, but I just need to be certain before bothering them.”
- > ”I stayed at Twilight's place in hopes of provoking the thief, but no luck it seems.”
- > You get slightly frustrated.
- > How can she be so... ignorant?
- > ”Rarity, there is no luck in getting robbed. And trust your friends, there is no way they think you are bothering them.”
- > ”Look, I'll stay here until this is resolved so you don't have to ”bother” your friends.”
- > She seems to have regained her usual composition.
- > ”You are right Anon. I'm sorry for not telling you earlier.”
- > You come to an agreement that you will stay until this thief is caught.
- > You moved your ”bed” from the small workroom to the main workroom.
- > You'd keep watch for any sneaking thieves.
- > As you lay on your bed, it suddenly hits you.
- > You are slowly turning into Mary Sue. Or Gary Stu. Or whatever it's called.
- > You didn't act like you normally do.
- > Normally you wouldn't have asked, wouldn't have cared.
- > Here you are volunteering to play night watch for who knows how long.
- > You even lectured someone about trusting their friends.
- > Played a guitar perfectly without knowing how to.
- >This place was slowly changing you and you didn't like it.
- > Sleep just refuses to come by, so you start pacing around.
- > The night is quiet and the only thing lighting up the room is the shiny moon.
- > You sit down and scan around the room.
- > You've done this several times now during your stay here, better find something to do.
- > Maybe you could ask around the town for a job now that you have your clothing.
- > You could ask Rarity, she seems to be busy.
- > Heck, you most likely can help her with your Mary Sue powers.
- > You snap out of it.
- > Now that you are back on this day you see that there is something at the window.
- > Just barely can't make it out..
- > Ladder.
- > Leaning against the house.
- > Alright, time to catch that night prowler.
- > You push the door open without a noise.
- > Just that pro.
- > Slowly circling around, you are almost to the window.
- > You can hear... panting?
- > What's up with that?
- > The perpetrator is now in your sight.
- > At the top of the ladder you see someone in a black bodysuit.
- > Hard to tell if it's an unicorn or pegasus or earth pony.
- > Whatever he's looking for inside there, he is in for one hell of a surprise.
- > Why would he go for upstairs anyway?
- > All the goods were downstairs according to Ra... oh yeah.
- > Seems like our thief is a stalker instead.
- > You slither under the ladder and push.
- > With a loud yelp the lurker comes down.
- > He was right at the top of the ladder, so you start closing in the distance.
- > ”You better find something else to pass your free time, I don't think stalking is acceptable around here.”
- > He was still groaning under the ladder.
- > ”Now you will have to show me where I can find the police, I still don't know my way around here.”
- > He kicks the ladder away and starts backing off.
- > Don't you even think about running.
- > You didn't say that out loud and he still goes for it.
- > Holy moly is he fast.
- > You try to keep up, but it's like trying to outrace Usain Bolt.
- > He disappears behind a corner with you following.
- > Gone.
- > You couldn't find him anywhere.
- > He didn't leave you any clues either.
- > You'd think he wouldn't run so fast after you knocked the wind out of him.
- > Well not you. Gravity. Fuck gravity.
- > Carousel Boutique sticks out like a sore thumb as you walk back.
- > You can see Rarity waiting at the door in her nightgown, most likely woken up by the ruckus earlier.
- > ”I'm sorry, he got away.”
- > ”I knew it! What kind of ruffian goes around our Ponyville trying to break in to our houses.”
- > She is so mad she is grinding her teeth.
- > ”Well I did find two things about him.”
- > ”He runs fast and he isn't a thief.”
- > She stops her eruption.
- > ”Anon what do you mean that he is no thief?”
- > ”Well he was standing on top of the ladder huffing and puffing while looking into most likely your bedroom, so-”
- > She explodes again;
- > ”HE DID WHAT?!”
- > ”WHO IN THE HAY DOES HE THINK HE IS?! I-”
- > ”Woah chill out. It's in the middle of the night.”
- > She quiets down, but is still mighty flustered.
- > Without a word she goes back in.
- > You close the door and go lay on your bed.
- > You see Rarity throw her nightgown on to the floor.
- > She then starts floating all of her tools to a work spot.
- > ”Not going to sleep tonight?”
- > ”I simply cannot sleep after that.. thing.”
- > You can hear disgust in her voice.
- > ”Anon, first thing in the morning we take a train to Canterlot. I need some supplies.”
- > ”I'll wake you when we need to leave.”
- > You give her a simple response and flip over.
- > After a boring train trip followed by all the stares in Canterlot, you were done here.
- > You went to some warehouse to pick up a crate full of stuff Rarity needs for her orders.
- > You volunteered to haul it back to Ponyville.
- > Rarity just wouldn't accept any payment for the clothing so you had to make it up somehow.
- > She was reluctant, but had to accept after she ended up contradicting herself.
- > She told you earlier that overuse of magic often leads to headaches and with her busy schelude that would most likely happen.
- > You were back at the train station.
- > You drop the crate down on the ground and wipe your forehead.
- > ”Thank you Anon.”
- > Rarity turns her gaze to check the time.
- > ”We have plenty of time before the train arrives. If there is a shop you want to visit then go ahead. I'll wait here.”
- > You didn't really look around the town earlier, so why not check it out again.
- > Here it is. Why did I even stop here?
- > 'Rooster Records' – Instrument shop extraordinarie.
- > ”Buy any instruments for.. blablabla.. a recording studio?!
- > The pony technology is just bizarre.
- > They have recording studios, DJ turntables and ovens, but still use quill pens and scrolls instead of pen and paper.
- > Oh well. Welcome to Equestria, please leave your common sense at the door.
- > Cheery sounding bell rings as you enter the shop.
- > ”Welcome! How may I-”
- > You have too much shock value.
- > Before the silent staring can even begin, you answer with a tad too loud shout.
- > ”HAY!”
- > The salespony isn't sure whether it was a greeting or you just shouting hay.
- > God that was stupid. Atleast the pony looks more confused than scared.
- > You use this opportunity to look around.
- > All sorts of instruments.
- > Everything was so small compared to what you'd prefer.
- > You chuckle. Preference in something you know nothing about.
- > How did the ponies play some of the string instruments, like guitar or harp?
- > Something guided you here, better just go with the flow.
- > You grab one of those small acoustic guitars and march towards the counter.
- > ”Do you custom make these on request?”
- > You walk back as a winner.
- > It would take one week until it's finished.
- > You did spend your bits on a non-mandatory thing just to sate your calling.
- > As you get on the train you feel like a kid after buying new vidya.
- > Rarity is sleeping in very unladylike fashion, leaning against the window.
- > You slip the bits she refused to take into her saddle back.
- > Got her good.
- > You stare out of the window as the scenery flies past...
