The sun was bright to the point of pain, hot to the point of heatstroke, and the day was just humid to the point of it made every part of you sticky. Basically, it was the exact type of day that was best spent either inside or in the water; which was exactly why Skye Wishes was cursing just about everypony in the world right now. She'd been assigned to a clean up crew to work off some of the restraining order violations she'd racked up when she'd ran through Canterlot; and, after she'd helped pick up the results from that, she was moved to Ponyville to help clean up in preparation for the upcoming Summer Sun Festival. Her vest had been confiscated, replaced with an orange one that marked her as a criminal, and her mane and tail had been thoroughly combed to make sure that she wasn't still holding onto any explosives or fireworks. They'd even had somepony check inside her mouth to make sure that she wasn't hiding any in there; she was honestly impressed at how well they'd learned about her tricks by now. That said, she was still glaring at the unicorn that was supervising her and all the other working inmates. He had a large glass of water and was simply glaring out at them while sipping it to stay cool. He gave them water breaks, since they weren't the violent monsters some of the other inmates were, but that didn't stop Skye from being pissed at him. However, there was literally nothing she could do to change her situation as it stood. Instead, she just grumbled and wiped her forehead with her leg and went back to stabbing things with the stick she'd been provided with and putting it into the bag. This was just not going to be a good day, she could tell that already. |

Chronius was running low on bits, as was usual. Oh well there was plenty of work to be done if you could find it. Especially with a huge celebration coming up. As he wandered into town he saw that a bunch of ponies in matching outfits cleaning up. It was likely that working so long out in the sun so long would get tired and hungry. Hungry, that was it. He ran back to his hut as quickly as he could and returned with all of the fruits he had collected for the last week, about two baskets worth of berries. It wasn't much but hey it was something. As he approached he saw that one unicorn seemed to be watching all of them. He was likely the one in charge. He seemed to be a rather humorless sort so Chronius decided he should likely try not to annoy him. The Kirin walked up to the unicorn and said, "Hello there sir. Your workers seem to be a bit tired. How about you let them take a break and enjoy some delicious berries from the forest?" |

Chiyo had gone down to Ponyville on a grocery errand. She had intended to come here for the sake that a vast majority of the best foodstuffs in Equestria were all grown naturally here, thanks to the efforts of the farmers at such places like Sweet Apple Acres. After all, she had firsthand knowledge of the wondrous taste of those succulent apples. While she would have to wait a considerable amount of time to taste delicious Zap Apples, and even more time to taste delicious apple cider, she could still pleasure her palette with naturally grown food from one of Equestria's finest natural locations. That is, of course, she didn't happen upon some inmates paying their debts to society not far from her intended location. Then, her Sumerian instinct kicked in to remind her she was still a helpful little half-pony. She began to scan the perimeter and pick up any loose trash she found, placing it into the nearest inmate's rubbish receptacle. |

The unicorn turned to look at the kirin from behind his sunglasses as he took another drink from his glass. Then, he turned right back to the group and gave them a quick once over. "Hey, Wishes; get your ass over here!" Skye growled and gritted her teeth as she stuck her spike into the the back and tromped over to the supervisor, noting that one of the other inmates was thanking another kirin for helping them out. "Yeah, what is it?" "Don't you take that tone with me; now, turn around and sit down." Still grumbling obscenities under her breath, the earth pony did as she was told and put her back on display for the two of them. "See that? 'Canterlot Penitentiary '; they're convicts, buddy. I'm not here to make their job easier, just doable; and get back to work, Wishes." "Buck you." She could't stop herself from saying. "No thanks, not interest in mares." |

Icefox trotted into Ponyville, having heard that this was where Skye was being kept. He trotted through the main drag, passing all sorts of ponies, but never seeing her. That is, not until he passed a work crew, and spotted the mare in front of the guard and another pony. He trotted over and started tossing trash into her bin for her. "Hey Skye. How's life been?" |

Well wasn't this something. Before he had settled in the Everfree he had been traveling with a circus, and it seemed many escapes thought that a place where everyone wore mask or make-up and happened to be constantly moving from town to town was the perfect place to make a new life. While he was with them they had told tales. Tales of all the things they had seen. "Ah, 'ows the Ringmaster's old clock coming along?", the strongman had said. "Well... It's coming I guess.", Chronius had sighed, frustration creeping into his voice. The old thing was completely maddening with gears in shapes only that only confounded him. "Ya know I 'nce saw a pony when a guard was brigin' me to the clink argy'in wit a guardsman on the street. The say she was notin' short of 'n artist when it came to clockworks." "Hmm", Chronius had grunted halfheartedly. "'N they say that she was mad.", he added with a coarse whisper. Chro's ears perked with interest. "Got U're attention now do I he chuckled. Ya wanna know her name?",he teased. Chronius didn't want to let on that he was interested but he had to know more. "Well boy they called 'er..." "Skye! Mad Eye'd Skye!?", he shouted with excitement running over to the earth pony. "The one who blew up the biggest dragon in the Badlands? The one who built a rocket that carried an Ursa Major across all of Equestria?", he asked with a childlike excitement. |

"You did all that?" Chiyo asked, astonished. "And all I've got to my name is the ability to talk to dead things." Chuckling at her own joke, she focused on introducing herself to the Earth Pony and Arcane Kirin. "I don't think we've introduced. My name is Chiyo. I live in Canterlot," She said, before doing the traditional Neighpon bow. |

She had been about to answer to Ice, and was actually glad to see the pegasus even if she had to hold back her instinct to see how the weather was affecting his wings, had the strange Kirin come running up to her. Skye brought her hoof up to her head and shook it. "Why do they never get it right?" Raising up, she took on the tone of somepony who had explained something more times than she could remember. "First off, it wasn't 'the biggest dragon in the badlands' I have no idea where to find that dragon, it was just a dragon; granted, it was a big dragon, but most of them are. And, in the second, it was an Ursa Minor; and it wasn't all the way across Equestria, it was only about 450 miles. I'll admit, not nearly as exciting sounding as the other ones, but those are what really happened." She turned back to Ice. "You'd think, after how many times I've corrected them, they'd actually spread the truth instead of the exaggerations." |

Ice grinned and shrugged, nodding at the other two. "Hey, when you're as awesome as you are, ponies start to say things. I'll try to keep it straight for you, though." He flared his wings slightly in the heat, not wanting them to get sweaty, and noticed the gleam in Skye's eyes. Understanding, he trotted over to the guard. "Hello sir, could I ask you to look the other way for a minute or so? I want to have a bit of privacy with Skye, if you don't mind." |

This day had just become quite interesting. A odder bunch he had never quite seen. Even if the myth's weren't true, as they often were not, he could see that this was a group not to be trifled with. He realized that before he had allowed his mouth to run faster than his mind, something he was usually quit a bit more cautious about. "I apologize circus folk spin wild tales. I am Chonius, and I am at all of your services." he said returning the bow to Chiyo. With that he readjusted his cloak and began to take further notice of his surroundings. Levitating litter in the air and swirling it about to keep himself amused. |

The unicorn levitated his sunglasses off his face to give a proper glare at Icefox while Skye just shook her head. Chain Link was not the pony to compromise the rules, least of all for some random pony who'd just come up to him. "I'm going to pretend that I didn't just here you asking me to shirk my duty and give you the chance to walk away now before I arrest you for harassing an officer of the law. He turned to the others gathered around Skye Wishes and used his horn to magically amplify his voice. "And I'm not running a bucking social club here! Get back to work!" Skye sighed, stabbing the trash again as she walked around; though still talking with Chonius. "You can start by still respecting me even though I'm doing something as lame as this." |
