“Authors?” Nightfall blinked confusedly at Minerva. “I do know one, but I don’t think any of them would be willing to teach any uneducated foals. I mean, just because they can write doesn’t mean they can teach, or want to teach,” he said calmly, placing the tea cup back on the saucer with an audible click. “I know a… bouncy earth pony who loves fiction. She wouldn’t stop going on about this one author – it turns out he lives nearby as well - and said that his series wasn’t very popular, so he started writing children’s books. Seemed pretty upset, now that I think about it.” Anyways, it sounds like a great place to try.” The unicorn lifted himself off the sofa grudgingly and slowly, groaning as he did so. After a brief crack of his neck, he trotted towards the door to his house, looking up as if remembering something. “I can show you where he lives if you think that dunce can learn from him, though. He might be in,” he said tauntingly as he turned around, showing a grin that was more directed towards the passenger in the other unicorn’s head than Minerva herself.

Oh, you'll get what's coming to you, my book loving friend. When you least expect it, too. He can't hear you, numbnuts. Eh, I don't care. Just tell him to be more careful where he leaves his stuff. When he turns around, he might find that it has changed hoofs, if you catch my drift. Minerva sighed. "Raize told me to tell you some meaningless threat that I know he won't carry out because he likes you even if you make fun of him for being idiotic. There." ...you're on the list, Minerva. The hairdressing mare grinned, nodding her head politely at Nightfall's suggestion. "Sure thing! Maybe when we're going round, you can tell me a little about what we pass?" |

Nightfall laughed at the translation, prying his front door open with a hoof. “Yeah, it’s not that far away though,” he replied bluntly. The daylight filtered in through the open door and the unicorn was quick to step out into it. It was a bright and cloudless day; the pegasi seemed to have been able to do their job while they’d been talking inside. The pair trotted through the serene town, passing many other excited ponies happily going about their business. There weren’t any interesting buildings other than the colourful houses and small stalls selling produce, but it all seemed so homely to Nightfall. They passed through an alley between two houses. “See that round building? That’s the town hall. You’ll find Mayor Mane there; you should talk to her if you want to buy a house or something. They’ve got a map up if you need it as well, so remember where it is – not that it’s easy to forget what it looks like. The houses around here make it kind of like the inner ring of Ponyville. Lots of shops and stuff ‘round here.” Around them, countless ponies wandered to an even large number of stores, trading their hard earned bits over a casual chat with the ones running the stalls. They had just lost sight of the grand structure when the unicorn felt the need to add something. “No, there isn’t anything to steal in there. Over here is the library; pretty weird compared to the other places. I mean, a giant tree? Why would you even make a house out of that? Moving on…” Nightfall stopped just outside the library, looking around before slowly pointing a hoof down the street to get Minerva’s attention, a small building with a very weird candy aesthetic visible a little in the distance. “Down there is Sugarcube Corner. Can’t miss it, really, it looks like a giant gingerbread house. That pony I was talking about earlier goes there a lot. They sell sweets and stuff, and it’s quite popular. Kay, we’re not far away now…” Dragging Minerva down yet another small alley, they came to a stop before a cozy looking home with a wide open door. “And this, is where that author lives,” he said quietly. Nopony passed down this street, the only noise being from a leaflet stuck to the front of the house which flickered noisily in the breeze. It looked like it advertised some sort of meeting. ((I’m going to put this just after all the Plans ponies… teleport? I don’t know. You realized it was on the same date, yes?)) Edited by Aeralylic, Oct 12 2012, 04:55 PM.

It was refreshing to walk around with Nightfall, seeing the sights. The confused mess that was Ponyville started to fit together in her head, and there was something about Nightfall's voice that was nice and soothing. As she took in everything, Minerva began to realise how true the bookworm's comments about the place were. It just had this nice feel to it, there just wasn't another way the mare could think to put it. After a time that seemed far too short, the two unicorns arrived at the house. Rather average as houses went, though perhaps a little bigger than the ones she had seen elsewhere. Honestly, she hadn't been paying a great deal of attention. Curious, Minerva levitated the poster over to her. "I wonder what this Chrono Sphere is? Sounds like a magical artefact of some sort. And, since the door is wide open, I guess we can just go right in!" Wasting no time, the hairdressing mare barged into Penn's home, scanning the place for anything interesting. There was a living room and kitchen off to the side, with the living room being filled with various uneaten foodstuffs, but nary a pony in sight. Had the meeting ended already? "This is kinda weird. Wonder where they all went? Any ideas, Nighty?" |

“Well, that would be the obvious concl-“ Nightfall started before the mare ran straight into the home, and he took a moment to introduce his hoof to his face before following her in. The house did indeed seem to be empty, although the unicorn could feel a trace of some sort of spell that had been cast here, but it was too foreign for him to recognize. “I’m not sure, but…” he said slowly, scanning the room before his eyes landed on a plate with a single jam sandwich left on it. He ran around to swiftly peek around the doorway into the kitchen - revealing a knife sticking out of a jar of jam, proving his theory. “I think I might know one of the ponies who was here though. Not that it matters.” Nightfall rocked back and forth on his hooves, finally remembering what they came here for in the first place. “Anyways - writing stuff! I don’t think anypony’s in the house right now though, so we’re not gonna have a pony to teach him. It's strange that he left his house all alone like this, though.” An eerie silence remained outside; the bookworm wondered how it could be so quiet in any part of Ponyville.

The tiny, sensible part of Minerva's mind told her that going back with Nightfall would be a good idea. Unfortunately, there was another, more vocal side called Raize that thought this was a handy opportunity. You should search the place, see what you can find. If you can dig up something valuable, you could ransom it for the reading lessons! I don't think that'd work. We'd just get arrested! Peh, you're no fun. You could at least take a look around, see what kind of person this author is. "Maybe there'll be clues upstairs to where they've gone? Come on!" Not even stopping to hear Nightfall's response, Minerva bounded up the staircase, feeling a little disappointment when she reached the top. There were three rooms, as far as she could tell, all of them closed except for one. Try as she might, the mare could not open the two closed doors...perhaps they were locked? Still hungry for information, Minerva peered around the open room, searching for clues. It looked like a bedroom of some sort, quite small, but stuffed to the rafters with furniture. There was the bed, taking up quite a bit of space all on its own, along with a writing desk, a comfy looking chair, a mirror, another chair...a bit of a mess, in all honesty. Curiously, there was a large, extremely odd looking book on the bed. A diary, perhaps? Giving into temptation, the hairdressing mare flipped open the cover, jumping backwards as a slip of paper flew out of the tome and into her hoof. 'Lupin companion lying in wait, Artifact from a time long past, Confronted by one with indescribable fate, The Canis will rise at last.' What a load of mumbo jumbo. Agreed. It seems like the sort of thing Nightfall might know about, though. Maybe you should ask him? "Hey Nighty, get over here! Whadda ya make of this note?" |

((OH GOD IT’S BEEN FOUR DAYS ALREADY I THOUGHT I POSTED YESTERDAY! TIME, SLOW DOWN! *flail flail flail* *regain composure* Uh, sorry. PAST MIDNIGHT POSTING.)) “Hey, where’re you going?” Nightfall asked the other unicorn with his usual lack of amusement as she bounded up the stairs to explore the rest of the house. Well, he supposed it could be worse. The bookworm reluctantly followed her up the staircase, only to pause and study the mess that was the unlocked room. Not like he could judge; his room was a lot worse than this. The most noticeable thing in the room however, was the book that Minerva had so hastily taken to reading. Or maybe even the strange note that had fallen out of it when it had been opened. He trotted over slowly to read the poem, carefully analysing each line, hoping to catch some sort of reference that it was trying to make. “I’m not sure… Do you think it might have something to do with where they’ve gone? Maybe this Penn guy wanted their help finding something?” Whatever it was, Nightfall couldn’t help but feel it was bad news. |

I'd bet my hide that it's a riddle of some sort. If you could decipher the weird words, it'd probably make more sense. "Lupin and Canis..." Still hungry for answers, Minerva flipped the book open, only to find that every single page in it was blank. "It's empty? What gives?! Argh, you stupid book!" The hairdresser smacked the book down on the bed in anger, gasping in surprise as she was thrown backwards against the wall. While her vision wasn't particularly good at that point, Minerva could've sworn that the blank oddity was surrounded by blue light, promptly disappearing. Oh crap, not now! Shut up... Minerva blacked out. |

Nightfall was still reading the strange poem in his telekinetic grasp when he heard Minerva hit the wall of the room. It sounded pretty painful as well. Being the kind-of gentleman he was, he quickly rushed over to check if the unicorn was okay; because she certainly didn’t look like she was. Being slumped over like that was never for a good reason, especially if they weren’t moving. Yeah. “Hey! Are you alright?” he asked with a worried tone. Though, as one might expect, she didn’t respond – which only added further to the bookworms worries. He glanced back to the bed to find the suspected criminal (the book), only to find it seemed to have completely vanished from the room. Well, that was strange. He switched his gaze back around to Minerva. The stallion had never dealt with ponies who had passed out before, true, but he had one very good idea which he suspected could work. After all, it worked on sleeping ponies. He slapped her round the face lightly with magic. “Hey. Wake up.” |

It was quite the strange scene, in all honesty. Pretty much everything was completely white, apart from some zebra, a blonde earth pony with a grey coat and some kind of massive black crack. Listening to their conversation proved somewhat interesting. Emily? I guess that's the earth pony. From what they're saying, I guess this is the Chrono Sphere. Hey wait a minute, that's the same note from before! I bet that zebra had something to do with the book disappearing, that son of a- Unfortunately for her, Minerva's unconscious commentary on some other event that was going on, she was rudely interrupted by Nightfall smacking her in the face. Her eyes rushing open, she instinctively slapped back with her right forehoof. "Ouch! Couldn't you have used some water or something?!" Pushing the poor unicorn out of the way, Minerva looked back to the bed, finding that the damned book had disappeared. Maybe you should tell Nightfall about what happened when you were unconscious, instead of just slapping him in the face for helping you out. Blushing in embarrassment from Raize's remark, but deciding not to apologise, the mare swivelled. "I think I saw somethin' when I was unconcious, somethin' to do with that book. There were these two ponies, Emily and Ashara, talking on this massive white plane. I didn't catch all of it, but they seemed to be talking about the Chrono Sphere...or perhaps they were in it? Eh, who cares. Point is, one of 'em handed the other a note that's exactly the same as the one that came from the book. I couldn't see the riddle exactly from my vantage point, but the words seemed near enough the same." Perhaps the blonde one is the key to the riddle? It might be worth snooping around for her later, if she lives in Ponyville at all. Would Nightfall know? Possibly. He might be more forthcoming if you apologise for hitting him/ I didn't hit him hard! Besides, you said you were going to get him back for making fun of you earlier. And I will, when I'm in control. Nightfall's the only person we can sort of trust right now, so it'd be a good idea to keep in decent terms with him. That's all. Not because of politeness? Not this time. Remember; you can't use a tool properly if you don't treat it right. If it makes you feel better, think of it that way. For some reason, thinking of Nightfall as a mere tool to be used felt a little wrong to Minerva, though she couldn't quite pinpoint why. Despite her stubborn pride, she knew Raize was correct this time, thinking that an apology might be in order this time. "And um...sorry for hitting you, I guess. Reflexes..." Minerva shifted her hoofs uncomfortably. "Do you...know anywhere I could stay the night? I'm not feeling so great from being out cold, so I don't wanna take the train to Canterlot at night time." |

Nightfall’s relief brought upon him by Minerva’s regained consciousness was quickly cut short as she pretty much slapped him in the face with a hoof. Ouch. The fact someone had slapped him hurt more than anything. The action was fairly understandable though; even if he didn’t have a clue where to get water from in the writer’s house. There hadn’t even been a tap in his kitchen, last time he checked. The bookworm supposed it would have been possible to use jam, but would that really be better or worse? At any rate, the other unicorn had spun around and seemed to be rambling about something. “Well, that’s certainly interesting,” he slowly started after she stopped speaking, holding a hoof up to his chin in thought. It was true that he hadn’t heard of those two names before, but if one had ever been in Ponyville, he knew for definite a pony who would have some idea who they were. The unicorn made a mental note to ask her about them later. And then there was the question that Nightfall should have expected – where Minerva could go next. He was unsure why she seemed so nervous about asking such a thing, though. “Erm, it’s okay. Really. As for somewhere you could stay, well… if you had any bits, which I’m guessing you don’t, there are a few hotels and stuff around Ponyville you could stay at. They’re really noisy and uncomfortable though, trust me. Still better than nothing,” he said with an amused tone, looking away from the mare as he explained the option he was… less comfortable with. “Or you could stop at my place. You’d have to take my bed though, because I’ll be up late catching up on a project I need to finish.” |

Temporarily staying at Nightfall's place? Is he crazy?! Minerva had suspected that the unicorn might offer her a place to stay, but she had been hesitant to ask. Something about putting a burden on Nightfall...because they were friends? He realises that, when you wake up, it'll actually be me. right? "You're right, we don't have any bits right now, I think we spent it all for the train here. If it's not too much of a burden...I would like to stay the night." Ahem? "Oh yeah. Raize says that when I wake up in the morning, that it'll be him in control for that day. Which, I dunno, might be some kind of thinly veiled threat?" Hey now, no one was suggesting that. It's not wise to steal from your associates unless you're planning to leave them behind. Minerva thought a minute on how to say this. "Wait...apparently you don't need to worry though, since he doesn't steal from 'associates', whatever that means. Is that okay?" |

“No, no, it’s fine – I don’t really trust Raize to be out in Ponyville at night, even he’s not… well, you right now.” Nightfall started casually. Of course, it would seem like Raize was trying to make idle threats again while inside Minerva’s head. “As for the stuff about the voices in your head, yes, that is okay. I doubt he could do anything to seriously annoy me anyway. It’s not like I’m going to let you sleep outside just because Raize is making up some “evil” plan that he probably won’t even carry out,” he said amusedly as he trotted the bedroom, briefly stopping at the doorway to think a little more carefully. Summer had been there at the meeting where this “Emily” pony was, so why was she not with them? Did they go somewhere and managed to get lost? Well, that did sound about right – that mare could get lost in Ponyville, despite living in it. The unicorn wasn’t even sure how she managed to do that. “Can we leave this place before Penn comes back, or is there something else here?” |

Some kind of evil plan? What am I, some kind of supervillain? Minerva shook her head, looking longingly back at where the book had been. Why had it just disappeared? Who was Emily? What was the Chrono Sphere? So many questions, so few answers. I'll go searching around tomorrow for you, if it's so important. It's not like I've got anything better to do, right? To her surprise, Raize actually sounded sincere. Um...thanks? Thank me when it's done, sis. Now go on, off you go. Nightfall is asking you something. "No...nothing else. Let's go." ((If you don't mind, could you write a closing post Aera? Thanks.)) |

((Alrighty? I don’t have much to write about though – I think yours ends it better.)) The two ponies left the house very casually, looking around outside the entrance for others; however, the street was just as empty and silent as they had first come to it. Nightfall took them round a slightly longer route back to his rather modest home – one that went past Sugarcube “I’m sure you would eat a lot of the stuff in here anyway looking at you” Corner, gave a small glimpse of Sweet Apple Acres and even went inside of the Carousel “The place for all that fillyish fashion stuff you like” Boutique. At any rate, the journey was over all too soon, with the bookworm only sustaining a small number of injuries to the face. That would teach him to make sarcastic comments though. He had been learning from a certain other mare, after all. Only it earned him a lot more pain than she had got. |
