Starbuster

[colour=#4b0082]~Starbuster~[/colour] Starbuster smiled as she heard him ask about her occupation. [colour=#4b0082]"Well, I actually work in Cloudsdale. I'm a nighttime guide. I guide ponies throughout Equestria during the night hours, and commonly go out to find lost ponies. Ponies get lost all too often, usually fillies and colts. I know ninety percent of the Equestrian Royal Guard, seeing as how i'm the pony who's in and out of Canterlot the most, so many ponies recognize me on sight."[/colour] She looked towards the ponies he was looking at.[colour=#4b0082] "In fact, those two look awful familiar. I'm pretty sure one of them is A Royal Guard. Could just be my imagination though."[/colour] She said, giggling slightly.

[colour=#4b0082]~Starbuster~[/colour] Starbuster stood as the musician approached, informing her of his name. [colour=#4b0082]"My name's Starbuster, but many call me Star. I know who you are. I know practically everyone."[/colour] she said, smiling warmly. She rolled the bag of bits to him. [colour=#4b0082]"Here, take these, for your beautiful contributions. I've always been a fan of musicians, and i deeply appreciate what you do."[/colour] She said, smiling. [colour=#4b0082]"I was just sitting here enjoying your music, relaxing during my time off. I'm no musician myself, though i do love to sing. I'm not great at it though."[/colour] she said, her turquoise eyes downcast. [colour=#4b0082]"Though i do love your music, and i hope to hear more of it. Thank you for doing what you do."[/colour] Starbuster said, raising her eyes to look at him.[colour=#4b0082] "I know it may not be much, but thank you."[/colour] She smiled a small smile at him.

(Ah, this one seems to be much slower moving than the last. Hopefully i won't get left behind. *Cracks knuckle* Now... time for business...) [colour=#4b0082]~Starbuster~[/colour] Turquoise eyes opened slowly as the cellist finished his song. Starbuster had always loved musicians, big time or small time. She enjoyed being able to just sit and listen, what with her occupation and all. Guiding ponies back and forth between all the different cities was fun and all, but she much enjoyed the time to sit and relax. She was about to approach him when he was bombarded with other ponies discussing musical matters. She took a step back, and sat, waiting for him to be free. That didn't stop her from listening in though. She watched as a deep purple pony tossed him some bits, and heard the musician suggest a few of them get together and perform sometime. That sounded like a good idea. She'd seen the Jazz artist a few times, and she'd seen the guitarist once or twice on her various travels throughout Equestria, but then again, there wasn't much she hadn't seen. Wandering musicians were a common thing on the road, and she had come to appreciate them, since they usually had it hard. She watched as the ponies chatted, sitting back and waiting her turn, rolling a small bag of bits around on the ground between her hooves. Her indigo wings ached from all the flying she had done, but it was all part of her job.

[colour=#ee82ee]~Pinkie Pie~[/colour] Pinkie's head jolted as Ryan mentioned the things he did for fun. [colour=#ee82ee]"Video games? Are those like board games? Watching things seems boring. Like watching paint dry." [/colour]Pinkie shuddered at the memory.[colour=#ee82ee] "And I've done fencing before! I used to fence with Dashie, but she could never beat me."[/colour] Pinkie giggled.[colour=#ee82ee] "Dashie may be good at sports, but on the ground, she'll never beat me." [/colour]Pinkie said, bouncing slightly in her chair. She leaned forward, as if about to tell Ryan a secret, and put her hand next to her mouth. [colour=#ee82ee]"Not many others know, but I'm actually faster than Dashie on foot. I didn't wanna steal her thunder at the Running of the Leaves though, so I didn't compete."[/colour] she whispered, and then leaned back in her chair. [colour=#ee82ee]"Well, we should probably get goin. I wanna know all that there is about this human world. Lyra will be so jealous." [/colour]She stood up, sticking her hand out for Ryan to lead her to their destination.

You look like you have one more spot, is it alright if i take it?

Um... Guys? Is anyone still alive here?

Will do. Maybe we can just ignore what he was doing? It's not like he really interacted with anyone.

~Pinkie Pie~ Pinkie took a bite of her cake. [colour=#ee82ee]"Yeah, they're my friends. We were about to take down Chrysallis, but she opened a portal that sent us here. We're probably pretty far apart, though I'm sure they're all alright. Chrysalis wasn't very smart about her portal, because she sucked herself in too, and quite a few bystander ponies who were watching, though i'm not sure why you'd want to watch..."[/colour] Pinkie pondered, downing the rest of her tea. She raised her cup to him. [colour=#ee82ee]"Good stuff." [/colour]She said, setting the mug down. She munched the rest of her cake at an almost inhuman speed. Licking her lips, she looked at Ryan again.[colour=#ee82ee] "So what do humans do around here for fun? I mean, I'm probably stuck here for a while, may as well learn what I can on how to fit in."[/colour] She said, pushing her plate away from her.

[colour=#ee82ee]~Pinkie Pie~[/colour] Pinkie's eyes widened as Ryan told her about television. [colour=#ee82ee]"You should totally show me one of those when we get the chance."[/colour] She said excitedly, as he leaned forward, sipping his tea. "So Pinkie, what's it like in Equestria? Is it peaceful? Is it not? Tell me a little about yourself and don't forget the details." He said, and she got to thinking.[colour=#ee82ee] "Well, Equestria's pretty awesome. It's colourful and magical and full of ponies like me! Though I'm not really a pony right now."[/colour] She said, somewhat saddened by it.[colour=#ee82ee] "Equestria's pretty peaceful, but every so often we have someone trying to take over, like Discord, or Chrysalis."[/colour] Pinkie let out a slight growl. [colour=#ee82ee]"We had almost beaten her before we were warped through a portal and sent here."[/colour] She was angry about that. She couldn't believe that Chrysalis had sent them somewhere else AND separated all of them. If she were to get her hooves, now hands on her, she'd make her pay. She switched to his next request.[colour=#ee82ee] "Let's see.. Well, I have a pet baby alligator named Gummy!" [/colour]She said, giggling.[colour=#ee82ee] "He used to chew on my tail all the time, but I don't have a tail here. I wonder if he's doing okay. Oh i'm sure he's doing good. He can take care of himself. I love to throw parties for all my friends with cake and balloons and my party cannon. I can play almost any instrument. I just can't play the fluegelhorn. I've never been any good at that. I've never lost a game of Tic-Tac-Toe before, and once beat Rarity 35 times in a row while we were waiting for Fluttershy. I love playing pranks, and I love cake, and I LOVE making everyone else laugh. That's why I'm the Element of Laughter. I'm also really good at surprising people. I have a great memory, and remember everything about everyone in Ponyville, even their birthdays! Though I once forgot my own birthday..."[/colour] Pinkie said, laughing. [colour=#ee82ee]"I don't wanna have a repeat of what I did that day. Anything else?" [/colour]Pinkie said, a smile on her face.

~Pinkie Pie~ Pinkie perked up when Ryan mentioned chocolate cake. [colour=#ee82ee]"Yes, chocolate cake would be awesome, and chocolate milk would be too, thank you. How do humans eat exactly? Do they just use their hands?"[/colour] She asked, tilting her head. Then she remembered what he had said about cosplay.[colour=#ee82ee] "Wait, character from television? What's that?" [/colour]She asked, not sure what this television thing is. Humans are weird. they have all sorts of weird gadgets and gizmos and stuff. [colour=#ee82ee]"Okay, well we're here, and i'm certain you have questions for me too. So, since we're here, and you've answered my questions, i suppose it's your turn. What do you wanna know about my world?"[/colour] Pinkie asked, reclining a little bit.

[colour=#ee82ee]~Pinkie Pie~[/colour] Pinkie took his hand, standing up with him. [colour=#ee82ee]"England? Yeah, We're definitely not in Equestria anymore Gummy."[/colour] she said to herself.[colour=#ee82ee] "What's cosplay? Sounds fun! I love fun things."[/colour] She said, walking with him. [colour=#ee82ee]Cakecakecakecakecake[/colour]. She thought to herself, a massive smile on her face. She walked beside this Ryan-human, but was a bit wobbly still. She giggled every so often, just randomly, as they passed by strangers. Humans looked funny. But there seemed to be quite a few of them, and that kept her from trying to befriend all of them. She thought for a moment.[colour=#ee82ee] "Wait, I only have like 3 bits. That's not enough for cake!"[/colour] she said, suddenly freaking out, pulling out a few bits from Equestria she had with her. She showed them to Ryan, handing him one. The coin was solid gold, and had Luna's face on one side, and Celestia's on the other. [colour=#ee82ee]"I don't have enough for cake..."[/colour] She said in a sorrowful tone, her eyes downcast. She looked at him, her eyes growing wide.[colour=#ee82ee] "I really wanted some cake..."[/colour] She said, putting her bits back in her pocket.[colour=#ee82ee] "You can keep that one. It's the least i can give you for answering my questions so far."[/colour] She said, with a small smile.[colour=#ee82ee] "I just wish i knew where Fluttershy and the others were..."[/colour] She said with a small frown.

[colour=#ee82ee]~Pinkie Pie~[/colour] Pinkie watched the human as he told her his name, and asked if she needed an ambulance. [colour=#ee82ee]"Oh no silly, I'm fine, but where am I, and even more importantly, WHAT am I?"[/colour] She asked, looking at her hands again. [colour=#ee82ee]"I mean, I've been all over Equestria, but I've never seen a place like this before, or even humans before. Lyra talks about them all the time, and she'd be SO jealous to know that I've met one."[/colour] She paused for a moment, seeing the look of confusion on Ryan's face. [colour=#ee82ee]"I'm from Equestria. This isn't Equestria, is it? Wait! I know what this place is, and it's definitely not Equestria. I mean, look, the clouds move BY THEMSELVES!"[/colour] She said excitedly. [colour=#ee82ee]"Where are the pegasi? You guys have pegasi to move your clouds, don't you? Do you guys have chocolate rain? Do you guys have cutie marks? Do I even still have MY cutie mark?"[/colour] She asked herself, lifting the bottom of her shorts, revealing her balloon Cutie Mark. [colour=#ee82ee]"Oh thank Celestia, it's still there."[/colour] She said, letting her shorts fall back into place. She looked back at Ryan again.[colour=#ee82ee] "Do you have any cake? I could really use some cake right now. And where are the others? I'm kind of new here. Where are we exactly?"[/colour] Pinkie asked, a confused look coming across her face.

[colour=#ee82ee]~Pinkie Pie~[/colour] [colour=#ee82ee]"Oof!"[/colour] Pinkie squeaked, as she landed with a thud. They were so close to getting that meanie Chrysalis, when she opened a portal and somehow caught her and all her friends in it. She ached all over, from her head to her.... feet? She sat up, looking down at herself. What's this? Feet? She looked at them, and wasn't sure what to think. The only thing she could think of was how Lyra Heartstrings would talk about how humans have feet and hands. Hands? She looked down at her hands. They really were as strange as Lyra always said. She moved her fingers, made a fist, and then moved them back to an open palm.[colour=#ee82ee] "Hm. Okay..."[/colour] She also realized she was wearing clothes. She'd worn clothes before, but only dresses and the like when Rarity dressed her up. She was dressed in Converse shoes, yellow and pink striped stockings, jean shorts, a loose fitting pink blouse and a blue tank top underneath. Her shirt wasn't long enough, and revealed a slim stomach. She stood up. She was a bit wobbly for a moment, but her balance kicked in. She was used to standing on two hooves, what makes feet any different? She turned around and saw a human step through the bushes. She looked at him, and was unsure what to say. [colour=#ee82ee]"Um... Hi. I'm Pinkie Pie. What's your name?" [/colour]
