(This is a game of Pony Pathfinder that was formed on the FiD comment pages)

The town of Ponyville was rather quiet one morning. The only sounds throughout the air were the light snores of ponies sleeping in their houses. A tree in the center of town quiet as the library hiding inside it. A small number of ponies were awake at this hour.
The cakes were currently baking their wares for the day, the Apple family were harvesting apples at twice the speed they normally were, a young pegasi buzzed around a house she was taking care of...
And one lone pony, a torn and mended cowl covering them head to hoof, walked to a series of houses of ponies new to town. The first, a Mare with a long tail and a very keen eye. The second, another mare with a hard hat perched on her head constantly, protecting her from falling objects and the occasional agrivated avian. The next, Stallion many feared for no reason more than who he devoted his services too. The fourth, a Unicorn Stallion with a knack, but not a cutie mark for, education. The fifth, A stallion known for his quick hooves and a cutie mark for a game mostly played by unicorns. The final, A Unicorn stallion known for knowing the complex. Now-
"MOVE ON WITH IT."
Okay okay sheesh. Even in a play by post people get annoyed by the campaign intro.
As everypony wakes up in the morning, they find the note plastered on the back of their doors with magic. "Come to town hall at 10:30 am. Signed, Mayor mare"
As the ponies arrive one by one, they all see a stallion with a green coat pacing back and forth across the main hall while shuffling a deck of cards with his magic. Once the last pony arrives, he starts to speak.
*party comes in posts needed. additional fluff allowed*

Notes:
Any actions to get his attention fail until the last pony arrives.
Please, in your post, add your two axises, classes, and Cutie mark skills just in case I lose the doc that I made with them.
And something new-
Everypony gets a 1/ in game day power related to their positive axis.
Honesty: Genie of the table- Ask the DM one question and receive a riddle in return with an honest answer.
Loyalty: I solemnly swear I am up to no good. Make an oath become almost supernatural in nature
Laughter: Gypsy Brew- can do one thing that otherwise would make NO SENSE at all.
Friendship: Magic makes it all complete- refreshes the party's uses back to max.
Generosity: You Gotta Share- allows another pony to reroll a die and take the higher number.
Kindness: Hush now, Quiet now- Automatically makes a hostile SITUATION non-hostile, unless a major plot point is the hostility.

City woke up early, as was her tendency. The grey-brown Earth Pony opened her amber eyes slowly, then stretched luxuriously, coming to full consciousness. Her blonde mane and tail were disheveled, as always. The flexibility and length of the latter was a matter of pride for the city pony. She rose from her cot, tail flicking the covers back.

She was heading for the kitchen to prepare breakfast for herself and Water when her ears picked up the sound of somepony approaching. Who would that be at this hour? She changed course, heading for the front door and meaning to open it shortly after the visitor would arrive to knock. But her ears told her only that the stranger stopped briefly before the door before walking away.

Reaching the door, she opened it to see what looked like a Unicorn walking away. And on the door was a note. She ignored it, studying the retreating figure. She caught a green horn... And a symbol on the cowl flank of a white sun. The sun was normally Celestia's symbol, but why white?

"Um..." she started, trying to get his attention.

Or not. The stallion didn't pause or even acknowledge the vocalization. How odd. Now her attention turned to the note. A meeting time and place. Town hall, no less. And signed by the mayor. City hadn't had much opportunity to socialize with Ponyville's Mayor Mare, but hadn't taken the mare to be the smoke-and-mirrors type. Still, the delivery pony had been wearing a cloak bearing a symbol not unlike Celestia's... This bore looking into.

She had no investigation jobs pending, so her plan for the day had originally been to make breakfast, prepare some trail rations, then go to the outskirts of the Everfree Forest to hunt game for pelts and meat. Seemed that had to be scrapped now. They could afford it for the time being. She'd had some luck in recent hunts. Adapting to hunting animals instead of tracking down ponies had taken a bit, but she liked to think she'd adapted well.

In any event, she set about making the stew she'd been planning on, often using her tail as a second mouth to grip things. When she was done, she set the stove to a low heat to keep it warm for her brother when he got up. Tasting some, she found her instincts had been right about ingredients, as the result was quite good. She poured herself a bowl and had her breakfast.

She was tempted to head to the town hall early, but decided that if this had anything to do with Celestia, she should be clean. After bathing, she shook herself dry, mussing her mane and tail all over again. She changed into her favored set of green leathers, then left Water a note. Finally, the mare grabbed her bow and saddlebags and left, heading into the heart of Ponyville.

As she approached the building, her desire for caution overtook her curiosity, and she did a quick circle of the building, looking for anything out of the ordinary. In her line of work, it was ill-advised to enter a situation without a degree of information.

Her search turned up nothing, unfortunately. That was frustrating. She'd be walking in blind. Still, it seemed there was nothing else for it.

She entered the town hall to find a green-coated Unicorn pacing in the middle of it. The colors matched. He was the one who put the note on her door. And he was shuffling a deck of cards. She tilted her head, curious once again.

"Hello? You were at my door?"

No response again. She frowned, sitting on her haunches while she waited for him to get on with whatever had caused him to leave that message. Maybe something to do with the card deck? She could only wonder.

"Aaaaaaaand... done!" Strangeknot said to himself as the last book slid into place. He fondly regarded his creation, a masterpiece if he might say so himself. He had just rearranged every book in the library. Alphabetically. By the last letter on the third page of each book.

"Twilight is so going to flip her lid when she gets back," he smirked. The tan unicorn couldn't wait to see the reaction of Celly's little prodigy to his little stunt. Oh, she seemed nice enough, he supposed, and certainly smart enough, but in the short time he'd gotten to know her she had seemed too uptight and serious. She seriously needed to mellow out, and a few harmless pranks were the perfect way to start. Maybe he'd rearrange her lab equipment, too, if he had time before she returned.

It was actually Coincidence that had introduced him to Twilight Sparkle. No, really, a pony named Contrived Coincidence had introduced the two of them. Upon arriving in Ponyville by train, Strangeknot had no idea what he was going to do. After wandering aimlessly around town for a few minutes, considering his options, he had bumped into a bubbly, and slightly crazy pink earth pony. He had already forgotten her name, but she, in turn had pointed him to Contrived Coincidence, calling her "super helpful to everypony when they don't know what to do". A name like that is not one that is easily forgotten. After some brief conversation with Coincidence, Strangeknot related how he had attended a university in Manehattan, and had spent a term working in the library to help pay the bills.

"You know, you seem pretty smart," Coincidence had told him. "I'll bet you'd like Twilight Sparkle. She's our librarian, and quite the scholar.

"You know, I think I heard she was getting ready to go out of town for a bit, and needed somepony to take care of the library in her absence."

"That seems... awfully convenient," Strangeknot had replied.

"It is quite the coincidence, is it not?" Coincidence had winked at him.

When Twilight began training him, Strangeknot's antics caused her no end of frustration. But not half as much frustration as his little friend he had brought from Manehattan. Twilight's own companion, Spike the baby dragon, seemed to get along much better with the new arrivals, though he was extremely protective of Twilight, and Strangeknot respected him for that. After only two days, Twilight and Spike had left for whatever their business was out of town. Strangeknot assumed they had gone to see Twilight's mentor, Princess Celestia, in Canterlot. She had told him they'd be gone for only two weeks, and that had been a month ago. Strangeknot didn't give it any mind, as she was still sending him bits, and besides, if she wasn't late he wouldn't have had time to complete his prank.

As Strangeknot contemplated what he would do next, the most delicious smells every to grace his nostrils sent his stomach rumbling, reminding him that he had yet to eat that day. His mouth began to drip like a leaky faucet as he made his way toward the kitchen. Inside, his pet and companion, Zerubbabel, had prepared a banquet fit for Celly herself. Strangeknot did a double-take as he remembered that the only food in the house this morning had been half a loaf of bread and a piece of moldy cheese. Monkeys were skilled and intelligent creatures (this one particularly so due to his bond with Strangeknot), but there was no way even he could have fabricated such a feast out of so frugal ingredients.



Zerubbabel looked up as Strangeknot entered. He scowled at his master and promptly stuffed the entire meal straight into his mouth. The whole thing. Strangeknot groaned, and checked the refrigerator to see if there might be anything else.

What.

The.

Celestia.

The half a loaf of bread and moldy cheese was still there. A loud belch echoed behind him.

No, there was no way Strangeknot was going to let some stupid monkey outdo him. If Zerubbabel could pull a happy meal out of thin air, he was going to make this bread and moldy cheese into the juiciest applebucking steak ever. Metaphorically, of course, what with ponies being herbivores and cows being sapient and everything.

Okay, a grilled cheese sandwich was better than nothing, though it still tasted like mold.



Strangeknot's attention was drawn away from the moldy flavor of the sandwich by a knock on the door. To the moon! He had hoped visitors wouldn't start showing up for another few hours, at least. Studious ponies either tended to rise very early or very late, though. Strangeknot glanced at a clock on his way to the door, half a sandwich hanging out of his mouth. Okay, so 10:25 wasn't really that early after all.

As he opened the door, he was greeted by none other than his old friend, Contrived Coincidence. Strangeknot was unable to say anything around the sandwich, though.

"Ah, I see you're getting along fine," she stated. Strangeknot nodded.

"Well, I just thought I'd let you know that somepony left a note on the door."

"Hmm?" he mumbled.

Coincidence pointed a hoof at the message written on the door.

Come to town hall at 10:30 am. Signed, Mayor mare

An eyebrow shot up. The note had the official stamp of the mayor, and Strangeknot couldn't see anything out of place. But what could the mayor possibly want with him? What if they had- no. There's no way they could've found out about that. That tindertwig could have belonged to anypony.



It was probably some boring official thing, the sort of ceremony Strangeknot had little patience for. Then again, patience was not one of his virtues. He considered skipping it altogether, until he noticed the meeting time. Memories of running late for class came flooding back to him, and he was rushing out the door with his saddlebags and monkey in tow, having completely forgotten about skipping out. He ran back in and flipped the business sign to "Closed" before charging back out, trying desperately not to be late. Again.

Coincidence waved as he ran toward the town hall. A half a grilled cheese sandwich was still hanging out of this mouth.

Mist Walker is up before the crack of dawn, as per usual; she's far too energetic to lay around on a bed, regardless of how comfortable it is. She throws off the comforter with an unrestrained yawn, and hops gently out of bed, already set on what needs to be done today. Shaking her long blue and light orange hair into place, she heads downstairs into her workshop, grabbing all her essential tools and prepping some materials for alchemy work that'll be ready around the time she returns to her home around 11:00 a.m.


Unfortunately, she slips while mixing the dangerous material components, and it reacts violently, taking a small explosion to the face, blowing back her mane and covering her in soot. After clearing the small disaster area she created, Misty decides it's best to try again after she's a had some time to recover from that blunder. She shakes off the soot, and heads to Sugarcube Corner, hoping to get a bite to eat before starting her daily odds and ends.

Having just moved to Ponyville due to losing her original job (long story for later), Misty's content to take on smaller odd jobs until something bigger comes along.

Showing up bright and early to the Cake's bakery, partly for food and partly to figure out what was wrong with the building's roof, she grabs some fresh donuts and milk from the bakery before inspecting the roof.


Upon seeing the large holes in the Cakes' roof, Misty kindly reminds them of the importantance of routine building maintenance, and that next time something like this happens, they should tell her immediately. Finishing her breakfast, she flies to the roof and unpacks her tools to start working.


Misty cracks her neck, spits on her hooves, and gets to work with perforated roof. With incredible ease, she glides from the roof to the spot where she left the lumber for the job, making a mundane repair job look like an elegant dance. The Cakes' thank her profusely for the quick and surprisingly quiet repairs, giving her a box of donuts for later. Returning their thanks, Mist Walker flies back to her home around 10:00, with a donut in hoof, since she couldn't wait to dig into them. After finishing the first, Misty reaches for another before being interrupted by a trio of birds, their eyes set on her confectionery treat.


Mist Walker deftly swats the birds away, dashing off at a high speed and leaving the birds in her dust (so to speak). After finishing off her sugary reward, she knows it's time to try again at setting up her alchemy work, seeing as how she was out of any form of explosive. Can't do demolition work without explosives, after all. Granted, not a lot of call for that in Ponyville, but it never hurts to be prepared.


...Another bucking explosion, and once again covered in soot; Misty was already regretting not having access to an alchemy lab like she used to. Now that she had no eyebrows, Misty was determined to finish this, as it was now personal for her. Before she can attempt another potential explosion, there's a sudden knocking at the door. She peers out the window to see how it is.


Misty hears the pony outside, which turns out to be a unicorn stallion, who curses himself as he hits himself on the stairs leading to Misty's front door, tripping down. Misty opens the door and sees his cutie mark, a deck of cards with an eye on the back of the topmost card, before he stands up and runs off to the next house. She then turned to the letter posted on her door, presumably by the clumsy unicorn, taking it inside. Misty skims it over as she heads back to her workshop.

"Come to town hall at 10:30 am. Signed, Mayor Mare"

Having never been contacted by the Mayor in her short time in Ponyville, Misty figures it must be important; city hall would be her next stop after her last alchemy attempt...


...which blasts the unfortunate pegasus clear out of her workshop, crashing into city hall. Misty looks at the time after she recovers from the impromptu flight, seeing the clock sitting right at 10:20. At least she can't be scolded for lack of punctuality... Dusting herself off, Mist Walker sees that she's not the only pony waiting around on the unknown stallion, with blonde, long-maned mare already waiting in the main hall. Misty trots over to the two ponies to see just what in the hoof is going on.

Misty walks over to the blonde mare with the exceptionally long tail, hoping to get some answers from somepony who's been here longer than herself.


Misty notices the blonde pony's tail dragging the floor, quickly side-stepping it to avoid a bad first impression.

"Hey there! Name's Mist Walker; who are you?" Misty brightly chimes in as she shakes the last of the soot out of her mane.

"Never seen you before, but I haven't been in Ponyville long, so that's not saying much. Are you here about something from Mayor Mare, too? I saw this same stallion at my doorstep not too long ago."

City had barely waited five minutes before something happened.

In the month since she and her brother had been forced to move away from Manehattan, the earth pony had gotten used to a variety of eccentricities she had assumed were unique to Ponyville. One such phenomenon, for instance, was the tendency of the small town to be leveled on an weekly basis. Especially that time with the star beasts. Dear Luna, the star beasts!

So when the mare heard the sound of a distant explosion, her only response was to sigh and wonder how much of the settlement had just gone up in a ball of fire. It seemed a continuous miracle that few ponies were ever seriously injured in such events.

What she was less numb to, however, was the sight of a soot-blackened figure flying into the hall through the open double-doors and landing in a slump against a wall.


Based on the way the other mare immediately checked a piece of paper and stood up, a number of things quickly came to light. The first was that the Pegasus was okay, despite an impact that should have been bone-crushing. Moreover, based on the direction and volume of the explosion and the angle at which she'd crashed into the hall, she was likely to have been at the epicenter. As supported by the layers of soot wrapped around her and... Was that the lingering scent of alchemist's fire she smelled!? She could recognize it because of her brother's various experiments. And there was more of it present than there should be from one exposure. But the most noteworthy facts to City's eyes at the moment were the piece of paper the Pegasus clutched and the glint of recognition present as her gaze passed over the green unicorn. The suspicion that this mare had been summoned here in a manner not unlike herself was only confirmed by her words.

The soot she was throwing off only bothered the grey-brown pony enough to move her tail away from the worst of it. Mist might have noticed it curl off the floor in a way not common to most equines. But the earth pony simply nodded with a head tilt towards their green companion.

"I saw him too. I figure we're both here for the same reason. I'm City Strider. Also..." The city pony lifted a hoof to point in the direction of the explosion. "Your doing?"

Mist Walker laughs nervously at City Strider, looking at the pony-shaped hole in the wall that the Earth Pony is pointing at. Misty always wants all of her construction-related projects to be as quiet and safe as possible, and her grand entrance into City Hall is anything but that. Not helping matter is the fact that it's not the first explosion of the day, but rather the third.

"Notice all that, did you? I was all out of demolition equipment, and thought that I should probably begin stockpiling it while I'm taking jobs that don't use explosives. Unfortunately, I ruined all three batches of alchemist fire I tried to mix this morning, hence the reason why I'm covered in soot, and missing my eyebrows right now. First thing I'm going to have to do when I get back is fix all the damage to my house...not looking forward to that."

Misty takes a closer look at the grey-brown Earth Pony, figuring that she has seen this long-tailed mare somewhere before, since there cannot be that many ponies like that in Ponyville.


Upon further recollection, Misty recognizes the pony from around town, and that she and her reclusive brother, whose name she can't recall, have been in town for a few months. Other than that little bit of information, not much else comes to mind, so Misty figures this is as good a time as any to find out what exactly City Strider does. Besides, it might take the attention away from Misty's over-the-top landing.

"Enough about me, though; what exactly do you do around Ponyville, and how long have you been here? I recognize you from around town, but I didn't even know your name before now. Me? I'm an engineer, taking odd jobs whenever I can; only been here two weeks, so I'm nopony special. I'm sure whatever it is you do is much more interesting than anything I do on a regular basis, explosions notwithstanding."

“Zzzzzz…”

Yes, Dodgeball was asleep. No, he hadn’t had a late night at the nightclub trying and failing to flirt with pretty mares, why do you ask? Happened every time he tried to socialize. He wasn't sure why he bothered anymore, to be honest.

In any event, he was asleep for quite some time. It took him until 10:20 to get up, and that was only because his stomach decided it didn’t want to wait any longer for breakfast, rumbling quite loudly and rousing him from his slumber.

“Why does my mouth taste like feathers? …oh. Why was I biting my pillow in my sleep?” he muttered blearily.

First some water to get the feather taste out of his mouth, then a hay sandwich to silence his stomach.



Still munching on the sandwich but gagging at the taste (he had no idea how he had managed to make a hay sandwich taste like lint,) Dodgeball poked his head out of the door to check the weather… and noticed a note on his door.

"Come to Town Hall at 10:30 am. Signed, Mayor Mare"

Discord’s chaotic stone head, he was late! Off he raced to Town Hall, completely oblivious of the piece of hay stuck in his teeth.



A few ponies gave him odd looks as he galloped past, but nopony bothered asking him what was going on. They had lives to go about, after all, and a few perceptive ponies figured he was probably late for something and thus shouldn’t be delayed further.

He had no idea what time it was when he got there (up to you, almighty DM), but he was sure he was very very late.

“Hi Mayor Mare sorry I’m late I slept in did I miss anything and… wait a second. None of you are Mayor Mare.” He paused to think a moment. “I mean, unless the Mayor is actually a Changeling who changed into you for some odd reason. Which, on further thought, wouldn’t be a very good idea, because if you can shapeshift, who better to be than the Mayor?"

After another pause, he continued, "Unless you’re impersonating Princess Mi Amore Cadenza, of course. Or Princess Celestia. Not so much Princess Luna, since there are still a number of idiots who blame her for the Nightmare Moon thing. Did we ever figure out what caused that? Or can I go on blaming Discord, may he rot for eternity?”

Sun Flare was up bright and early as usual, he needed to greet the sun that his Princess so graciously raised each day. Sun Flare walked to one of the spots a little out of town that he had found when he first arrived in Ponyville.


after meditating for an hour he took out a basket and made himself breakfast, he ended up with a rather mediocre attempt at a grass sandwich. Sun ate and started walking back to the city.


Sun walked around for a little while, just taking in the new city. it was much nicer than what Canterlot had been, everypony was so nice to one another, and it was easy to strike up a conversation with just about anypony he met. Sun had gotten a job at the local school, but he hadn't started there yet, and he woudn't for a few weeks.
it wasn't a problem, it gave him free time to meet the ponies in Ponyville, he would spent some hours each day just striking up conversation with ponies he'd meet, he had already gotten to know most of the earlybirds in Ponyville, many of whom where very nice. but he wasn't one for staying out late or clubbing, so he hadn't gotten to meet any of the more... lively ponies.
he ended up striking a conversation with a few random ponies, and had a nice chat about theirs and his own life.


upon arriving back home he found a note on his door, telling him to meet at the mayors office at 10:30. Sun simply shrugged and looked at the time, it was 9:40. he decided to walk towards the mayors office, greeting and talking to the ponies he met along the way. when he arrived at the building it was around 10:15, he talked to any of the other arrivals if they so allowed but otherwise waited patiently for further information.

"WHO HAS SO CHOSEN TO MENTION NIGHTMARE MOON?" a loud booming voice from the sky asks. Flying down is a pegasus stallion covered in ebony black armor, blending in well with his dark mane and tail. His coat is a dark grey like a furious storm. "THAT INCIDENT WAS LONG AGO AND WE WOULD APPRECIATE IT IF PEOPLE DROPPED THE SUBJECT!" Upon landing, he's not that large, though his bat wings may be a bit disturbing. "I APOLOGIZE FOR BEING LATE! I WAS BUSY TEACHING ORPHANS HOW TO READ AND DID NOT RETURN HOME TO FIND THE NOTE UNTIL AFTER THE APPOINTED TIME HAD PASSED!"

while waiting for the mayor to arive. when suddenly there's a big explosion and a sot covered pegasus comes flying through the air into town hall. Sun rushes to her side and tries his best to discern wether she is ok

if the pegasus is indeed injured, he tries his best to help her, by magic if needed.
otherwise he uses his magic (prestigitation) to help her get cleaned off

Dodgeball glanced in both directions nervously and, finding no hiding place among the small group of ponies, sighed. "Fine, I mentioned her. Just wondering if I could blame Discord for that incident. He really is quite fun to blame for stuff."

As he continued, his tone brightened noticeably as he got rather sidetracked from the initial response. "Rarity's psycho cat scratched me? Discord's fault. Dinky Doo dropping a piano on my head? Discord did it. My hay sandwich tasting like lint? Blame Discord. Us two being late? Discord's at fault. Best thing is, he isn't around to contradict me, so I can say whatever I want about him!"

{ I am going to have so much fun with this party o3o)

As the last two stallions appeared, the pegasi possibly scaring the cutie marks off the others, and the conversations endedm the green unicorn opened his white eyes. "Thank you all for coming." He stopped in his pacing by facing the six in front of him. "You six are the newest ponies in Ponyville, so I believe you are the best choice. You see, my name is Arcana and my talent is seeing the future." He speaks over any response of the others. "At the moment, six mares have left ponyville on a journey to protect the world, however they've been gone longer than expected and I see the worst."
He flips the card on top of his deck over and recites, "The Tower." A tower with a pegasi standing on a cloud, striking the tower with lightning and shattering it. "The foundations crumbling." He placed the card to his side, glaring lightly at the cowl. "Equestria is in danger of being harmonious."
(Ponies responding about 'how could harmony be bad?')
Arcana glared at the cowl again and turned back to the ponies, "Harmony is "order or congruity of parts to their whole or to one another". If that is extended to its extreme, like what is happening now, everypony will stay in the relative position to everypony else. In other words, will never move. The sun and moon will remain in the sky at that time no matter how much the princesses attempt to move them, Pegasi flying in the sky will just stop flapping their wings, but will still remain flying. Unicorn spells will simply-" His magic tossed the cards away and made them freeze in mid air, a light glow of green surrounding every card. "Stop." His magic pulled away at a curtian where Mayor mare stood, looking as though she had turned to speak with somepony. However her eyes were darting too and fro, examining those in front of her. "The pony lives, never moving." He looked down. "Is Harmony such a good thing?"
He shook his head, walking back to the group. "Mayor Mare froze after she wrote those letters for me three days ago. The reason I haven't delivered the notes until today is because I was looking for the best ponies for the job."
He looked at each pony, his white eyes never truly focusing. "You six may be the newest ponies in town, however I believe you can take this mission." He turned to the mayor, "Where are the keys?"
The frozen mare looked at the desk to her side and Arcana pulled six keys from the desk. Each tagged with a different symbol. A diamond, a butterfly, a six pointed star, a balloon, an apple, and a lightning bolt. He hands the keys out: Diamond to Mist, Butterfly to City, Star to strange, balloon to Dodgeball, Bolt to Stormy, and Apple to Sun. "Look in the houses the keys call to. As the temporary mayor in Mayor mare's stead-" he mayor's eyes go up and down, like a nod without moving her head. "I give you full permission to search the houses of ONLY the six ponies who have been gone for longer than expected, and who may be in danger the most from the harmony. Pinkie Pie, Rarity, Rainbow Dash, Twilight Sparkle, Applejack, and Fluttershy."
He grabs his cards, putting them back into a deck, and sits on his haunches. "I'll wait here. Please look for clues as to where the ponies have gone."
(Obvious question to be asked, what's the relation ship?)
"Simply put, the mares embody one of the elements of harmony and are at the epicenter of most everything that occurs in Equestria nowadays. Discord? Mares fought him. Night Mare moon? Mares fought her. Changelings in Canterlot? Mares helped fight them."
As he speaks, Sun can tell he's an honest pony, if rather brash and rude about things.

"No doubt Discord's to blame for too much harmony, too," Dodgeball snarked. Nonetheless, he took the card, glancing at the balloon on it. "And what do you mean, 'Look in the houses the keys call to'? Unicorns, feh! Always have to be needlessly mysterious."

PipeDream:while waiting for the mayor to arive. when suddenly there's a big explosion and a sot covered pegasus comes flying through the air into town hall. Sun rushes to her side and tries his best to discern wether she is ok

if the pegasus is indeed injured, he tries his best to help her, by magic if needed.
otherwise he uses his magic (prestigitation) to help her get cleaned off


Before Arcana speaks up...

During Misty's sudden and wordy introduction to City Strider, she never notices all her scratches, bruises, mussed and missing coat and mane clumps, and her singed eyebrows had mysteriously be healed.

"Hey, all my hair grew back, coat, mane, and all? Look, City, all my torched hair is back!" Figuring that she didn't sudden gain magical healing power, she finally starts to look around her to see if anypony else was there.


She finally turns around to see the unicorn that was trying to get her attention, probably for a few minutes by now.

"Oh, hey, didn't notice you there. Thanks for patching me up...who are you?"


She sort of recognizes Sun Flare as a new pony in town, and that he is a healer (painfully obvious), but doesn't recall anything else. She opens her mouth to introduce herself, but is interrupted by the unicorn who delivered the letter earlier.

No, we created the accounts to comment on Friendship is Dragons, a pony & D&D crossover comic, and THEN made a pony rp later.

Sun looks around to the others for their reaction (sense motive 21) he then looks back to the unicorn "mr Arcana, if you don't mind me asking, do you know why this is happening now? (knowledge religion 26) if the elements of harmony causes this, then why has this not happened before? when the elements were wielded by the princesses?"
"speaking of the wielders, do you know where they are? or where they were going? if they are the cause of all this, then that information might be usefull, though i am aware that we would find it in their respective homes... is there anything you could tell us apart from what you have?"
