"No, no. Not all shenanigans," Century corrected quickly, her aggressive stance slipping at the distraction of the unexpected twist in conversation. "I'm only opposed to time shenanigans!" She either ignored or simply didn't notice the question about her identity, as the earth pony mare that she had rather suspected as the ring leader of this most heinous operation suddenly declared her cute and disappeared to produce sandwiches in record time. Century spluttered indignantly after her. She was not 'cute'! She was the enforcer of temporal stability and general time-oriented decency! She was a fearsome warrior! She was a- "Are you some sort of time pony? Because that would be great!" Century stamped a forehoof and held her head with the best expression of lofty pride she could muster. "Precisely! And time ponies have no time for sandwiches, no matter how berry-y and bready, when time shenanigans are afoot! So, you'd better not shenanigate!" She eyed the plate of sandwiches with obvious interest. Did they count as sweets? "Otherwise, I will starve in protest!" |

“Well, now, we wouldn’t want you to starve now would we? Hm, but at the same time I’m feeling particularly shenigany today, hm, what to do, what to do” AA mused grabbing one of the sandwiches, and, throughout her musings, “accidently” waving it almost tauntingly just outside of Century’s reach, “Ah! I know, how about we compromise? Why don’t you come with us as we shenanigate? That way we could fulfill our shenanigan quota for the week and you could stop us from mucking with time too badly. That is, of course, IF you’re a time pony like you say, and not just some imposter.” Jacky of course didn’t think she was a time pony or that any of this talk of time travel had any merit to it at all. Still, it was fun to play along, and if, just if, there was some truth to it, well that would be very, very interesting. |

“Nomnomnom… Uhh, thanks!” Summer smirked, once again shrugging off how strange the young writer was acting. She turned her gaze back to the newcomer, who briefly looked at her suspisciously before one of the others cut in. After picking up another sandwich to eat, the blue-maned earth pony tuned out for a moment, staring idly at the arguing flutterpony and demon-pony. One thing she still picked up on, however, was the demon-pony trying to tempt Century to join their… shenanigating? That didn’t sound like a word. Summer really had no idea what these ponies were all here to do; a camping trip, perhaps? And what was a time pony meant to be? “Ooh! Yeah, come with us! We need more adorable time ponies!” she put on her best pleading smile, hoping that that, along with the sandwiches, would be enough to lure her in. Edited by Aeralylic, Aug 30 2012, 04:53 PM.

As soon as the last pony to arrive walked in, Axel found himself in a rare situation: He was at a loss for words. As the others spoke, his thoughts reeled with a million thoughts per second, but only two stood out enough for him to hear them: I've never seen anything like this in all my travels. A pegasus with Changeling wings?! And an opposing position of fiddling with the time stream? He was beginning to grow quite uneasy. The most logical conclusion here was that this was another Time Pony, much like The Doctor himself. But that couldn't be, since the rest were all locked away in a time pocket, except for two; and the only other Time Pony besides The Doctor that Axel had met led to an experience he'd rather not go through again. Before he could even ask, she proclaimed that she was indeed what he suspected. Axel took a deep breath and remained quiet for a moment in order to regain his composure, then said, "You most certainly should come with us. After all, a Time Pony like yourself being on the team would no doubt be a great step toward our success." That's what he said, but his true intent now was to keep an eye on this pony. Someone had to, after all. This day had just gotten much more interesting. Edited by DarthKain, Sep 1 2012, 07:19 PM.

Emily silently thanked Celestia that Summer seemed oblivious to her behaviour. After the last two 'cute attacks', Emily was fairly sure she had it under control. Best to just focus on the task at hand. Realising that everyone seemed to be on board apart from the time pony, she decided to turn the cute factor up to maximum. Doing her best puppy dog eyes, Emily looked straight at the time pony. "Oh, please join us! I just...I've tried so hard to get everything planned out, and Summer has made these lovely sandwiches! It would be such a shame to end it before it even gets started..." |

Century very deeply considered the offer, her face slipping into athoughtful frown. They were going to give her sweets, after all. Sweets and adventure. And if there was one thing her dear father had taught her, it was that adventures often ended in bloodshed. And really, it didn't count as a violation if she did it to herself, right? But then, the mare called her a liar, and the decision was made. "Oh yeah! Well I'll show you an imposter, miss sandwich pony! Gimme that!" She buzzed into the air and bobbed after the sandwichplate until she'd managed to swipe one, even as the other ponies acted pleased to have her, and commented on her cuteness. Well, it was a start. She'd have them worshipping her out of fear sooner or later. At least they were appropriately impressed. Except the one, of course, but that was to be expected. He'd met those other time ponies. Unworthy little squabbling bratlets. Completely unlike her glory! She practically inhaled the sandwich, barely tasting the sweet, jammy goodness. Flying was hard! "Where d'you wanna get dragged then?" She asked to nopony in particular. Was the sandwich maker the boss here? Or was it the one that called her an imposter? Certainly not the stupid ex-coltfriend. Right? |

Summer watched the flutterpony as she did her best to snatch one of the sandwiches she had made before proceeding to eat it faster than the blue-maned earth pony herself could have. Even she admitted that, but when she was hungry... “Yay! She’s in!” she cried happily to nopony in particular, finishing the last bite of her own sandwich before looking at the moved sandwich plate longingly. Oh well. She could always make more sandwiches later, but for now they were going to be- wait, dragged? That didn’t sound like a comfortable way to travel. She preferred going by train or by hoof, usually train if it was quite a long way. Which raised a good point; where were they going? “Hey, uhh… Emily. Where are we going?” Summer whispered suspiciously, looking directly at the flutterpony as she did so. Edited by Aeralylic, Sep 3 2012, 06:28 PM.

Taking a deep breath, Emily turned to Summer, pleased to note that she no longer blushed when looking at the beautiful pony. Must've been nerves, she figured. "Well, we need to go where the Chrono Sphere is! Or...when it is. It's kinda confusing. Basically-" The young writer swivelled around to face the flutterpony again. "Since you're a time pony, I figure you'd be able to sense where and when the sphere is, since it'll be making a lot of timey wimey trouble. Like ripples in a pond, I guess. If we follow the ripples to the source, we find the sphere. Could you do that?" Wait a minute, sandwiches might not be enough for such a request. Maybe she could try out some of those 'Social Skills for Dummies'. Reverse Psychology might work on someone proud like the flutterpony. "Oh, but I'm sure that someone like you wouldn't be able to find the Chrono Sphere, it'd be just so hard to locate. I doubt one time pony could find it on her own!" Emily resisted the urge to wipe the sweat from her brow. While it might not be as tricky as that sarcasm business, this Psychology stuff wasn't the simplest thing either. Just got to hope it works.

Axel had to suppress a chuckle at this turn of events. Reverse psychology! He didn't think the young writer had it in her to be so devious. He'd picked up a bad habit of reading ponies at first glance at times due to his job experiences. Of course, he realized that this could work to his advantage quite well. When this supposed Time Pony answered, it could give him a better glimpse at exactly who (or what) the PI was dealing with. Wait a minute, a thought struck him. Did she say we're looking for WHEN this sphere is? I hope this Time Pony comes with a vessel like the other ones did, otherwise she might NOT be able to find it.... He snapped back to an attentive state. He didn't want to miss the next thing that was said. Edited by DarthKain, Sep 8 2012, 03:34 PM.

Century huffed and rolled her eyes, glancing briefly at the empty sandwich plate. Well, one would have to do for now. "You think I'm stupid, don't you?" Ponies always thought she was stupid. Oh well. She'd prove them wrong. "You don't run around sensing stuff, that's dumb. Do you think I'm some kinda... like... geiger detector?" Apparently that Emily mare wasn't satisfied with her sarcasm, though, launching into some kind of condescending insults. Not. Cool. "Well it's a good thing I'm a real time pony!" She retorted, stamping a forehoof on the floor angrily. "Not like my son in law!" She cast a pointed glare at Axel. "You just watch me! I'm gonna find it so fast it'll make your head spin." And with that, she closed her eyes, over-long ears falling limp against her head, and the world changed. Not a sound, not a spark. Perhaps, for the briefest of moments, if anyone was paying close attention, they might have seen a flicker and her body changed with the location, but it passed as quickly as a hummingbird's wing, leaving the same flutter pony filly as before, grinning widely. "See?" |

Emily waved a hoof in front of Century's face, trying to work out what she meant exactly. "Uh, yeah that was...impressive? I didn't see anything, honestly." She swivelled around to face the others, with a very confused expression darting around the ponies. "Was it just me? Did I miss the incredibly epic thing that may have just happened? Aw, that always seems to happen!" Emily pouted a little, hanging her head in disappointment. Just staring at the floor...that cold, bumpy, crystal floor that just- Wait, what? Crystal? With her head rising in gradual wonder, Emily soaked the new sight in. It was a cave, with a ceiling that reached higher than she could see, made entirely of translucent crystals. At first, when Emily had seen them on the floor, they had been a pale white, but looking back, they all changed to being a kind of ruby red. "What are these crystals? I mean, I don't know a whole lot about gems at all, but I've never even read about anything remotely like these." Seeing a loose crystal, Emily reached down, tapping it against the floor. A pinging sound, like one a tiny bell might make, echoed around the cavern. Emily turned back to Century, awestruck. "Is this where the Chrono Sphere is? Or...when it is?"

((I hope you don't mind me trying to contribute to the setting ^^)) AA doesn't seem that surpised to be suddenly thrown across time and space without so much a bump, instead she just calmly bends down and examines the crystal. Seeing something to her satisfaction she gives the crystal an exploratory lick and finding THAT to her satisfaction she crunches down on the crystal. "Wild Rock Candy," She declares between bites, "Quite good too. 'Haven't been a deposit this big found for a good couple centuries or so back in the present. 'Got all mined out. Now all the Rock Candy's grown by Earth Ponies. The nobs in Canterlot would pay big bucks for some of this," "Shame we gotta find this chrono-thingie, otherwise we could mine some of this and become rich beyond our wildest dreams. Oh well~~~ That's life." |

"Son-in-law?!" Axel incredulously exclaimed once he heard the ridiculous words enter the air. He chuckled and said, "--". He would've proclaimed that he had no idea what this pony was talking about, but when he glanced back, the location had changed to a cavern full of crystals. The Time Pony took the credit for it and when Axel had regained his verbal footing, he began spouting a line of confused gibbering: "But, you-... I-... We were-... What? What?!" He blinked a few times and caught his breath while the other ponies spoke (something about the crystals being rock candy?), then calmly started again with, "We traveled instantaneously through time without a vessel and felt no ill effects whatsoever. You didn't use magic, and I definitely don't see any modified Vortex Manipulators on your person. Okay. You've got me; I'll bite. What are you, exactly?" As he said the last part, one of his eyes narrowed slightly and the other's eyebrow arched up. He was beginning to get the feeling that he was in way over his head this time....

Century rolled her eyes and stomped a bit. The Doctor's exes were always so problematic. One would think that by now they would have gotten used to it, but oooooh no. At least one of them looked suitably impressed, as opposed to distracted...by... Fine. Naturally grown candy was an acceptable distraction. "Well it's definitely where something is. Words change a lot over time you know. But it feels like trouble, and that's what we're after right?" At the word 'trouble' she broke out into a grin that, on an adult,would have been best described as manic. It was only a little easier to handle on a foal. "And anyway, I told you," She gestured one hoof widely in Axel's general direction, "I'm a time pony. A pony made of time? Duh. All I had to do was convince myself that it was okay, which is pretty easy because I'm me and all, and then determine the correlation of space-migration over time, and then here we are!" This explained precisely not a bucking thing, and Century knew that, but with all her fluff and tininess and enormous eyes, she put up a pretty impressive front of innocence. "Sorry I couldn't get us closer. But you know what, no I'm not, because candy." She attempted to break a chunk off, careful of her flimsy flutter bones, to no avail. Fortunately, there was gravel to be sucked on, and that would have to do. "Now then. What is it he's always says. Itailian right? Andiamo!" |

While the flutterpony was having a nice little chat with everyone, Emily started to...drift. She wasn't quite sure what towards, because it wasn't really a sound or sight of any kind, but she just knew something very important was nearby. Not an object, no, the feeling wasn't nearly specific enough. The way behind Emily was blocked, presumably the end of the cave, with the young writer slowly shuffling towards the sunlight at the opposite end. The gems around gave a bright multicoloured glow, but the ray of sunlight shone brightly amongst the gems. After what seemed like a very long time, Emily gasped, a shocked kind of gasp, partly from the painful rays of the sun, but also something much, much worse. The cave seemed to be situated in a little grove, in it's own little world, protected from the horror below. There was a city, or maybe just a really big town, but there was something that made it different to any city Emily had seen in picture books. Probably all the searing fire...and the screams. Even from this distance away, the ear splitting shrieks kept their unnerving quality. "Erm...guys? You should probably come and look at this. Now." |
