"Oh, macho stupidity," Flapper Jack replied casually. "You are familiar with the Demipower Aggressor Intervention Agency? Most of the world calls them monster hunters, mercs for hire... technically we're allowed to negotiate peace, but that doesn't happen too often." He rolled his eyes. "After I got my cutie mark, I thought I could defend ponies on my lonesome. Didn't want to join the guard, too rigid, so I signed up with the DAIA. I was pretty darn good at it, too, I fought a lot of monsters, traveled across Equestria... spent about ten years of my life doing all the ludicrous hero things." The stallion shrugged. "And then I got cocky on one assignment. I mean, Drakes are big, ten-foot-tall lizard people but they're also very cunning. So here I was, thinking I could outwit the guy, and he goes and bites my wing off." Flapper Jack shook his head. "Quit after that, went through a depressed period, tried to sign up with the guard before finally joining the police. It's not really that big a story, just the usual fight a monster and the monster won type of thing." |

Mist Haze listened to Flapper Jack's story, surprised at how nonchalant he was about the whole thing, of course she took the same general attitude to her fall so it wasn't really that surprising really. She smiled at the thought of Flapper Jack going off on grand adventures and felt a little intimidated, "wow, you've had quite the life, I must seem pretty boring" she said, mentally scolding herself for indulging in such self pity. Mist sighed and looked over the stallion next to her again, her eyes drifting down to his flank. She blushed a little before reminding herself she was just taking a look at his cutie mark...that was absolutely the only reason, "sure is nice...um your cutie mark I mean" she said with a slightly awkward laugh, "so you said your special talent was protecting ponies, I bet there is a good story to that" Mist said with a smile. |

"Are you enjoying Storytime with the Stallion?" Flapper Jack asked in amusement. |

Mist Haze giggled at Flapper Jack's comment, "yes I am" she said with a playful laugh as she nuzzled him a little, "now come on, tell me another story, please" she said, pressing her hooves together in mock pleading. |

"Oh very well, if you want more showboating..." Flapper Jack stood, gesturing dramatically with his wing. "A dark night in the city of Canterlot. A young stallion is out partying with some of his friends; he offers to escort a mare home. They walk past an alleyway, and muggers suddenly attack! The stallion is kicked away, and the mare brought to the ground; but the stallion gets up and charges. He buys time for the mare to run away, but the muggers are tough; the stallion wakes up in the hospital. But he managed to take two of his attackers down; the police have them arrested, and the stallion himself finds he's gained something very special." He grinned. "And that's how I earned my cutie mark." |

Mist Haze smiled broadly as Flapper Jack spoke then excitedly stomped her hooves in applause at the end, punctuated with a gleeful "yay!". She settled back down and nodded approvingly at Flapper Jack, "I was right, that was a grate story" she said with a light chuckle. Mist sighed and glanced around at the relatively empty park, "it's funny, if my parents hadn't been so insistent on me joining the family business I might never have discovered my special talent" Mist said as she looked up at the sky. She smiled, "I was just a filly but my parents had pulled a string or two and got me into a junior weather patrol preparation class. I was a good four years younger than the other foals and the lessons were much to advanced for me until a week into the class when we did Lightning 101. The first thing we had to do was basic lightning bolt discharging from a medium sized cloud, very standard stuff for real weather patrol pegasi but for a filly that was technically to young to even try it was monster assignment. I remember being so scared I'd end up frying everypony in the demonstration area that I made an extra special effort to aim the bolt so that it hit as far away from everypony as possible" Mist laughed lightly at the memory of her younger self cringing at the cloud in front of her. "Anyway, it turned out that the spot I'd been aiming at, and hit near perfectly, was a really hard place to make a lightning bolt go. My instructor asked me to do it again and I did...and that's how I got my cutie mark" Mist said with a grin. |

"Really?" Flapper Jack smiled. "That seems like quite the accomplishment, being able to direct lightning any way you wish... Although it's a rather, ahem, specialized talent, don't you think? I mean, outside of storms and the occasional mad scientist, the only use I can think of for lightning is combat." He glanced around, then leaned in closely. "You're not an assassin, are you? I may have to arrest you if you are." |

Mist laughed heartily at Flapper Jack's comment and playfully pushed him, "nnnooo" she said with a high lilt in her voice. She hugged Flapper Jack as her laughter subsided and she took a moment to catch her breath, "yeah it isn't really a useful talent for everyday life and I'm not a fighter...I've found myself in some situation where it's been useful but on the whole it's just a think I can do" Mist said with a wave of her hoof. Mist sighed to dispel the last of her laughter, "to be honest I've been thinking of looking for a new career, or maybe a second job. I like the weather patrol but that was what my parents wanted me to do...I've been toying with getting work on a farm, maybe even Sweet Apple Acers. What do you think?" Mist asked as she glanced up a Flapper Jack. |

"...I honestly cannot tell you what to do. I've only ever had one job at a time." |

Mist Haze sighed, "yeah I guess I've got a lot to do, I'll worry about my carrier later" she said with a shrug. She looked over at the stallion and smiled, "speaking of which, I'm really looking forward to our date, I've always wanted to go to Canterlot and now I get to go with a handsome stallion" Mist said with a giddy giggle before resting her head on Flapper Jack's shoulder and lazily watching the world go by. |
