MarchingHammers

((Lets just make sure this RP doesnt focus too much on these two characters Azuru. We don't need a thread de-rail. ))

Syd replied to the copper colored pony with exuberance "Why yes I am performing at a gig later tonight, and I would love for you to come and watch." Syd reached into his saddlebags and gave the mare a ticket printed with the word "backstage" on it. Syd also looked towards the red pony in alarm after seeing the fireball. "I hope she knows how to control that, I would hate to see a fight break out or somepony get hurt."

((There may have been miscommunication on my part, but my character is a Stallion, not a Mare LOL)) The stallion looked at the pegasus and introduced himself "My name is Broadsides, inventor and scientist. Nice to meet ya" he said with a grin. He got up from his sitting position and let his "binoculars" hang on his neck. "So what are you all doing in Seasaddle anyway? I'm here watching the skies for airships. I am hoping for one to pass by, but unfortunately I have yet to see one."

Noticing the mare with a copper color sitting all alone, Syd made his way over to her, and sat down, introducing himself to the mare "Hey there, I noticed that you were sitting alone and you looked like you need some company. My name is Sydphony, but you can call me Syd." Syd removed his sunglasses revealing his dark brown eyes and broken horn. He also extended a hoof as a friendly gesture.

Hearing a pony speak to him, the brown pony lowered his binoculars momentarily revealing silver eyes that are soon covered up with his signature green lens goggles. The pony introduced himself as Broad Sides. "Yes, of course I'd like to join you guys...." Broadsides said hesitantly.

((Thanks for the Update, makes it easier for me to join in)) A strange looking pony with green lens goggles and a dark brown pelt was outside the bakery. He had a pair of what could be compared to binoculars, although not fully perfected. He seemed to be looking for something in the sky through the binos. His cutie mark is a airship steering wheel (similar to one on a sailing ship), so one could assume he has a background in the airship business.

"Well I am somewhat tired, although I have a gig much later, so I can last through the day. The after gig parties I have been to have really knocked me out but this was not so bad so I can make it" Syd said with a grin. "Getting some coffee wouldn't be a bad idea either," And with that Syd got his belongings in his saddlebags and his guitar on his back and prepared to head out with his friends.

Add me, Marching Hammers is my name

I found some blind bags at my local Toys R Us. They had about 10-15 of them. They were in one of the display packages hidden behind a bunch of other Mlp stuff.

Syd reached for his guitar, and prepared to play the song, but first, his friends deserved a description. "This song represents the time we have being young, and how we have to take a hold of that time and be adventurous in our youth." With this, he began playing. Using a little bit of his unicorn magic, he was able to make the room turn pitch black and the room began to look like they were floating in space while he was playing. The Sun became slowly eclipsed by the moon in this vision, and when the song ended, they were returned to the room that they were in. (Here are the *edited* lyrics and the song is in the video on the bottom.) Ticking away the moments that make up a dull day You fritter and waste the hours in an offhoof way. Kicking around on a piece of ground in your home town Waiting for somepony or something to show you the way. Tired of lying in the sunshine staying home to watch the rain. You are young and life is long and there is time to kill today. And then one day you find ten years have got behind you. No one told you when to run, you missed the starting gun. So you run and you run to catch up with the sun but it's sinking Racing around to come up behind you again. The sun is the same in a relative way but you're older, Shorter of breath and one day closer to death. Every year is getting shorter never seem to find the time. Plans that either come to naught or half a page of scribbled lines Hanging on in quiet desperation is the Trottington way The time is gone, the song is over, Thought I'd something more to say. Home, home again. I like to be here when I can. When I come home cold and tired It's good to warm my bones beside the fire. Far away across the field The tolling of the iron bell Calls the faithful to their knees To hear the softly spoken magic spells.

Syd put his jacket away in his saddlebags, and asked for a glass of lemon water. Syd began drying his guitar with a cloth out of his saddlebag. He then played a simple chord and made sure the guitar was in tune as well "You sure know how to make me remember the comforts of home Heart. I have been travelling for so long I have forgotten them." Syd thanked Heart for the glass of lemon water and enjoyed it's tart taste. "So, who wants to hear a little bit of music?" Syd said, sitting down on a pillow that Heart gave him.

Who the hell is cutting onions in here.... Seriously stop that....

Syd was happy to finally be out of the rain, not so much for his well being but for the health of his guitar, risking it getting soaked was a source of concern for the pony. Following HeartBeat up the stairs was quite a climb, but he did dry off rather quickly.

Syd asked "Where are we off to now? It is pretty late, and I don't know if we should meet up tommorow or hang out through Luna's night. It is up to you two."

"Yeah sure, I will be at the picnic. I hope that we can become friends over time" said Syd. Syd loved the idea behind the glow sticks. Syd began thinking of the possibilities for the glow sticks to be used at concerts.

Syd was taken aback by the mare's statement. He had only wished to be friendly and admire her work but was rebutted. "Hey listen, I know we have had a rough start, but my name is Syd, and I am by no means rich. I currently live off the the land, and I seek to spread the power of music to others in my travels. Syd heard the orphanage comment and felt terrible that she had an upbringing like that. "I do admire your light fixtures you have set up in here, they make the town hall a lot more lively and beautiful.

"I have been working on a new song recently, and If you would like to hear it Rainy, I will play it for you and Heart when we get indoors." Syd was partially nervous about playing this new song as it was still a draft, but hey it was worth a shot. Maybe he could get some criticism to help him improve his music.

Noticing the mare back into him, He backs up and apologizes."Sorry miss, I was just observing what you were doing here and I hope you don't mind if I watch." Syd said with a weak smile.

"Although I do have a few shows left in the city, I would love to play a private show for you two and your friends." Syd thought how exiting this would be as he had never done a private show before, only public.

Syd had made his way back to the town hall and noticed dancing lights on the inside. He silently observed the mare and her actions, not knowing what to do or what was going on. His mind was also on Studio, and where she could be, and hopefully that they could meet each other in the upcoming day.

(no big deal, we have other obligations and that's understandable.) Syd blushed at the sudden act of affection that Studio gave him, choked up by the act. He was so unsure what to say to the mare, by the time he had thought of something to say, she had galloped off into the night. Unsure of where she had gone, and then realizing that it was getting late, Syd made a point to find some form of shelter for the night. He could always use the folded up tent he had in his saddlebags, which he wanted to do, possibly to get some fresh air and privacy to think about tonight's past events. Syd walked to the very edge of town and set up his tent. Syd then went back to the town hall to make sure everypony was okay.

"Sure I'll tell you my story, As a colt, my family used to move from town to town, and we never really settled down anywhere. When I came of age, I decided to stay in Trottington and do odd jobs around town. I found myself doing work on buildings and such, as there was much demand for these jobs and no supply of workers. I had learned much and decided to build my own cottage on the outskirts of town, and after much toiling and hard work, my Cutie mark appeared." Syd pointed out the hammers first, and explained that "These represented my carpentry and building skills that I acquired as a colt working on buildings and eventually building sets for bands. Now the colors behind the hammers appeared only after I joined a travelling band and picked up guitar as a hobby. I am still trying to find out what they mean however." Syd put on a look of determination as he thought once more about what the colors could mean.

(as long as we dont focus the entire RP on a character, it is fine.) Syd was deeply affected by the story that Studio told. He made his way over to Studio, and reached his forelegs around her in an embrace and held on, feeling terrible for ever asking about her coming on stage with him. Syd whispered. "I am so sorry Heart, I truly am, and I think it saddens me more knowing that there is very little that I can do for you, other than accept who you are, and the burdens you carry, although... I don't know what to say...." Syd stayed in this embrace for a short while, hoping that Studio was not embarrassed by his act.

(cool, can't wait to see the new character ^_^).
