Dawn nodded with the stallion's reply and retorted right after that. "Yeah I suppose it's not the most widely desired after trade but it puts bread on the table, and I enjoy it enough. And don't count yourself short on your knowledge about these things. Someponies I know didn't even know the sun was a star." Dawn admitted with a slight chuckle as the two of them approached the university gates. Dawn stood for a moment at these gates, taking in the surroundings. Given that he currently spent most of his adult life at the university it made sense that he would want to take in one last visit for all he could while he still lived in Canterlot. Dawn led the way naturally across the main courtyard towards the large building that was no doubt the bulk of the school. He passed a few gazes and even a few waves to some familiar ponies as he continued walking towards the largest building, proceeding to open the large front door and enter. Once inside, Dawn took another few second pause to both remember where his research notes were, and to take in the surroundings once again. Once that moment had passed he continued on his way, looking back to make idle conversation. "So Promontory, you ever been to the University here before?" He wondered.

As Dawn walked and listened to Promontory response he couldn't help but chuckle slightly at the last thing the toast colored stallion said. He decided to answer in response to his first statement however before deviling into his last. "Good honest work, pulling trains. I can't exactly picture myself doing it but doesn't meant it ain't an important job." Dawn nodded as he continued walking. It was then that he started noticing the same thing Promontory did, that one of them stood out like a sore hoof. Dawn looked at the passing ponies then back to Promontory, almost comparing the two in his head and began thinking over his findings, "Well he's certainly not from around here. Or if he is he doesn't exactly seem like it...Then again that's not necessarily a bad thing...Most of these ponies are soo much in their own little worlds it makes me roll my eyes at times....Yeah he's defiantly not from around here but he seems like an alright sort." Dawn pondered as he continued walking. It was then that he wanted to address the stallion's last statement. "Heh, I wish. Nah I'm just a small time astronomer really. I do work for places that need it, like the university for instance, I got in good with them 'cause that's where I went and learned all this stuff about the sky and the like. I can't even imagine myself helping royalty to be honest. Like I said, I'm small time, but hopefully with this move it'll speed things up. Even more so that my new house is gonna be an observatory." Dawn remarked.

Dawn had no trouble seeing through the pony's no doubt thick accent and nodded in response to his suggestion. "That doesn't sound like too bad of an idea. Alright, to the University then." Dawn stated as he took the indication from Promontory and headed into the heart of town towards his place of internship. Again as he walked he took in all the surroundings one last time. It could be weeks, months, or possibly years until Dawn saw these buildings again. He never really considered how beautiful and regal the city was, guess he didn't know what he had until it was nearly gone. The stallion kept leading the way towards the University, going over in his head the research notes and which ones he should bring; most likely all of them. That sparked a notion in his head, a notion of excitement for moving to his new home, and that home being in both a prime stargazing location of Ponyville and for the residence to be an actual working observatory. It could do with some spit and polish for sure from what Dawn had seen but he didn't mind a bit of hoof work if it progressed him in his life's dream. He then realized that in all his wondering he had gotten completely ahead of himself and never asked Promontory more about himself. He wondered if he should or not, however the stallion seemed like a respectable and pleasant pony so he didn't see why asking a question would be looked down upon. "So Promontory, what do you do for a living? Besides dragging around random Canterlotian's stuff?" Dawn inquired.

Being able to skateboard. 1) I can never get into a book and usually give up 5 pages in 2) I have no idea why I ever gave my ponysona a hoodie 3) I have never completed a Resident Evil game. My question! Have you ever had a game you've really wanted to beat but never could?

This sound is multi-functional

Dawn would have continued on his way to the university, had he not been called upon by this pony who was a stranger to him. "Hm?" Dawn asked as he turned to face the stallion. Right away, Dawn felt a bit timid towards this new stallion, considering he had a much more predominate stature than he did. However the timidness quickly passed when all Dawn received from the new pony was a question. Dawn was about to answer until he realized what the question was. His brain finally clicked and pieced this little puzzle together and guessed that this pony was the pony he had sent for, to help move some things out of his house for his move. He smiled in response to his realization and promptly answered the stallion's question. "Yeah, I just came from there...Actually, I live there for the time being." Dawn smirked as he extended a hoof. "You must be Promontory, right? Darkest Dawn, nice to meet you." He said pleasantly. "I was just heading to pick up some research notes from Canterlot U, but if you need help getting to the apartment I'd be happy to direct you." Dawn said as he began retracing his steps.

Overwhelming sense to eat Celestia, rising....... ....That and the fact I can't remember my last McDonalds doesn't help... *Droooooooool*

(Been waaaay too long since I did one of these ) Darkest Dawn, degree holding astronomer and all around rather timid stallion awoke one morning in a shabby old apartment that was sadly, his home. A stream of light parted through his curtains and shined across his closed eyes, causing the black coated pegasus wake up in a rather abrupt manner. He stretched his hooves upwards and readjusted his eyesight to face the coming day. Before he got out of bed however, he was startled by his alarm clock, which always seemed to ring after he had already woken up. The stallion sighed "Ugh...every morning." He stated as he meekly slammed down on the off button. Dawn proceeded to get out of bed and head to his bathroom, equally as shabby as the rest of the establishment and did his daily morning rituals. Brushed his teeth, combed his red and black mane, got washed, all those sorts of things. He emerged from the bathroom to face a calendar he had placed on his wall. He managed to smile as he looked at the date for today, and what was written on it. "Moving day." Dawn grinned as he got his necessary things together and headed outside. Dawn was more pleased than he usual was on this day due to his apparent move. The young, educated stallion had secured a property he could have only dreamed of, an abandoned observatory that was left rather decrepit and stained with age. But to be honest, Dawn couldn't have cared less, this was perfect for him. Sure the place probably looked worse than his current lodging but Dawn remained optimistic and called it a 'fixer-up-er'. In fact this would be Dawn's last day in Canterlot for a while. The city he grew up in, he was soon to leave it all behind. But rather than feel remorse or sadness, he was glad to finally get out of this town. The previous days Dawn had sorted out all the necessary preparations; getting the land secured, a transport for all his luggage and even a tiny plague spelling out his name and title. Quite frankly, he couldn't be happier. All he had to do know was head to his former place of internship and learning, Canterlot University to pick up a few notes and star charts he had left there over time. The pegasus wandered through the streets of the regal city, taking as much of it is as he could and could only wonder what could happen next...

My character Darkest Dawn is a professor, though doesn't really teach that much. Though he could easily step into that field if he wanted to. Hope it helps

Ha! I didn't see it at first then suddenly Rainbow Dash close up near the end XD Ohh too good.

Well that was pleasant and refreshing. Love Rarity

Little bit of Splash of this And occasionally this

If I had to happen any of the games that would run during the events I'd be happy to have a go at them

*Pokes head in* Per chance is this still going on? ...Anybody?

Of all the introductions I've read, your one put one huge, huuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuge smile on my face, Inky. It's a rarity (No pun intended) that you see somebody who's willing to admit their flaws and or otherwise embrace 'em. Good for you! Enjoy yourself here, we'll enjoy having you!

I'm not sure since I haven't lived as long a life as most people For now I'll settle for when I wrote about space for an examination essay. No seriously, we had to write about a place we would like to live, I rambled on about space for a good hour or more and got my first 100% on a test I can actually remember.

Who else called that Cerberus was just looking for his chew toys under everypony's house? I couldn't have been the only one.
