(Using another oc as well, Britches, just to start) [colour=#008080]"Wow! You're a bit of a heart breaker, aren't you?"[/colour] Licorice studied the pony's hoof carefully, noting the small, subtle patterns. [colour=#800080]"..I guess you could say that, but-" [/colour][colour=#008080]"But you're just following your heart.. And you DO appear to have a very good heart." [/colour]She interrupted her client, then continued[colour=#008080] "..My advice, is that although love is always such a magical thing, it's best to remember that sometimes, magic can just be an illusion." [/colour]She gave the purple pony a little grin, which grew a little wider once she saw that she got a grin back.[colour=#008080] "You know, Shade, it also looks as though you are the type to let feelings and emotions guide you more often than you use your head for decisions." [/colour] [colour=#800080]"Mmhmm."[/colour] The young unicorn agreed with a subtle nod, recalling earlier just that day. [colour=#800080]"Like.. I've never been very good with magic or whatever, right? And so my dad really wants me to go join this magic club thing, but I'm just not interested!"[/colour] Miss Black's ear quickly perked up. [colour=#008080]"Well, I think that you're a very lucky pony, being able to use magic. Why are you so disinterested?"[/colour] Licorice was more inquisitive, unable to wrap her mind around why anypony WOULDN'T want to use magic, than anything. All her life, she had found magic to be ABSOLUTELY, well, magical!! With everything in her, she wished that she could have been born a unicorn, that she could be able to use this mysterious, misunderstood, inexplicable science that could do such complex, powerful things as manipulating a pony's very age, or even a task as simple as lifting a quill. But, she also knew that no amount of magic in the world could help with her little species complex. [colour=#800080]"I just don't need it. And besides, I have hobbies and school and stuff, so I really just don't have time."[/colour] Leaving her head, Licorice was brought back into reality by the sound of the other pony's voice. [colour=#008080]"Ooh, I get that.. I wouldn't mind learning some magic.. Is that around here do you know?"[/colour][colour=#800080] "Psh, beats me! Umm.. I think I might have the flier or whatever.."[/colour] After digging through her bag, she pulled out a ball of crumpled paper, handing it to Licorice, who unfolded it swiftly and hastily got to reading. [colour=#800080]"You can keep it or whatever. I guess I was just gonna toss it anyway."[/colour] Soon, Licorice Black found her way to the warehouse, judging that the symbol on the flier matching the symbol above the door meant that she was in the right place. [colour=#008080]This place looks kind of whimsical.. I like it![/colour] Her hoof reached for the handle, turning it slowly earthward. She entered before peeking inside. She remembered the flier. [colour=#008080]Want a chance to use magic or learn how to use it?[/colour] [colour=#008080]..Hope that means earth ponies too..[/colour] She spotted a pretty white mare, and decided to make her first guild friend. [colour=#008080]"Hey!" [/colour]she extended a hoof for shaking. [colour=#008080]"My name is Licorice Black, and I heard that you guys were looking for new members. Have you been here for long?"[/colour] She gave the unicorn gentle grin.
