'NICE?! NICE?!! This....FOAL would DARE call ME nice?! Who does he think I am? Some kid messing around?! Grrrr...I've half a mind to...rrrr...' Dark thought to himself at the sound of being called NICE of all things, doing his best to stay calm, he spoke through half gritted teeth, "Hmm, I kindly request that you refrain from referring to me as nice, please, it's not befitting of a villain, you see." without turning around, Dark nodded, "Not a problem Cat, s'the least I could do for ya...and your, friend, looks like he could stand to get some food in him before he wastes away." he said as he continued to tinker with the Joke he was working with, before Cat commented on the wear and tear of the fruit, "Chucked around....heh.....yeah you could say that...and you'd be correct; hay, I'd have boxes of rocks too but I can't eat those so had no reason to gather those up...least the apples don't hurt as bad." Dark said with a chuckle, acting like it was no big thing that he had rocks and apples tossed at him, "Guess it's what I get for my line of work, bah, free food is....is how I look at it..." looking back over his shoulder for a moment, Dark caught the affectionate display, turning back around quickly, Dark bit his tongue to keep himself from commenting, 'No no no! It's not your place to say anything, besides what do YOU care for, he....they need to just rest up and leave...hrrrngh....' he thought to himself, his ear flicking in annoyance.

Dark flinched internally when she decided to nickname him Dawn, but rather than flip out, he would try to remember to be nice; after having met Cat a while ago, he learned that maybe friends weren't SO horrible, so maybe he could be friends with Purple, but still, better to play it safe, "Errm, yeah, that's just.....peachy..." he said hiding a grimace; he really disdained his name, the taunting he got for it combined with his scrawny build when he was younger made him twitch.

"Heh, that sounds pretty good; it'd be a great change from nothing but apples!' the villain said with a nod as he followed the filly, "Plus things always taste better cooked heheh, don't know how to cook much myself, not that I've much to cook heheh." he said with a bit of a chuckle; it was true, all he had mostly was apples or the occasional other fruit or vegetable that was tossed at him when he got caught in mischief.

Art of Mesmeric would be awesome =3

Updated My List once more, and am adding to it occasionally, so feel free to stay tuned!

Updated my first post with some for Mes, Riven and a couple for GG

Oh, yeah, forgot this update: Added Mesmeric and Riven to the list!

"T...Those are actually pretty good, do you mind if I use those sometime?" Dark said after Pinkie prattled off a couple of alliterations, "Oi for the love ah...I am not a SPY, that doesn't make much SENSE! All you're making is snacks....Though I must say the thought of a combustible lemon is quiet tantalizing..." the villain stated with a pondering look on his face; he could burn someone's house down, with the lemons! It didn't get more cool and evil than that at times.

Dark let out an grunt of discomfort as the pink pony plummeted onto him, "Guh, don't know how to untie us!? I don't wanna be stuck here for long I...GAH HEY GETTOFFAME YOU WALKING HANDBAG!" he said shaking his head to dislodge Gummy from his snout, "Left hooved, what?...Bah, my purpose? You DARE ask me what my purpose here is? How foalish. Dark stated to the other pony as he continued to shake his head to fling the gator off of it.

Dark sat there working on his Poison Joke; the twinge in the back of his mind continually nagging at him, but he wasn't able to pinpoint what it was; perhaps it was just because his morning routine was interrupted for the first time since he had lived at the bog or that he had two 'friends' in his lair, his fortress of solitude...more like fortress of lonesomeness, not that Dark would ever admit it, no he was far too stubborn for that, especially to two ponies that seemed that close....Why did that bother him? Doing his best to shrug it off, Dark swallowed his pride and put on the best face he could to hide his annoyed feelings and turned around with a small smile, "Nice to meet you I suppose, Inkwell....I'm Dark Core as Cat said" he said with a nod, trying his best not to just flip and make a bad impression, again.

Blushing slightly at being called Darky, the villain nodded, "Right...Of course.....And indeed, t'would be a shame if anything were to befall you...or your friend; and I suppose you're right, though I did no do much worth of any praise at all; squishing a small spider is hardly anything to fret about...I do suppose it is...actually nice to see you again." he said before falling silent for a few moments; thinking Dark finally thought of something to add, "If you're...er...either of you are hungry, there's some ah, apples in the crates by the sofa....have some...I can't hardly stand them anymore...Months of apples and nothing but apples wears on you after a while so help yourself....selves." he said pointing over to the crates, five or six or so of them filled with apples, some had dents and bruises for some reason; turning back to his table Dark took another deep breath and just sat there.

That's PERFECT! <3 Danke

Dark Core flicked his ears when he heard a knock come to his lair door, 'Who would DARE come to my abode?!This day just keeps getting lousier...' he thought to himself as Cat got up, apparently she had recognized the voice calling her name, 'Oh, great, now she's answering MY door? Bah...Who's this sap anyway? His emotions all strung up like that I wouldn't be surprised if he woke up some of the beasts in the forest!' the villain thought as he glanced at the new guest, "Bah...Welcome I guess, get inside before any creatures come eh? Some of em can smell emotions and won't think twice about chewin up and spittin out a scrawny little morsel like you." Dark stated to 'Inky', as Cat had called him. Upon seeing the filly nuzzle the new arrival, something in the back of Dark's head gave him a bitter feeling, with a twitch and a snort Dark turned back to his table and started working again on whatever project he was doing with the Poison Joke. 'Bah, I should just shoo them out, send them on their way, more trouble than their worth....then again they could get eaten and that'd be on my hooves...wait why do I care?...Bah...can't let that happen...Even villains have standards.'

"Hrrrngh, yall can stay for a while; the beasts of the forest start getting active early of the morning, and the Hydra starts its hunting soon." Dark stated not looking up from his work; the bitter feeling still nagging in the back of his head; like pins and needles jabbing at his psyche, "That is unless you WANT to get eaten by a manticore or hydra or giant spider, then by all means, be my guests and abscond."

I believe Mudbug drew the artwork for Starflower originally, so if you contact her, and let her know you're adopting Star, she'll be able to send you the picture.

Ignus listened on intently to Rose as she spoke; he hadn't expected to get to talk to such a nice pony; sure the others he spoke to weren't really rude, but Rose really stuck out to him, "Ahh I see; I forget how many parties like this I've been too; they all seem the same after a while heheh." he said reminiscing over Galas and parties past; he had been in Canterlot ever since he was hatched, which means hes been to literally dozens and dozens of these sort of events in the past; but so far this one was his most memorable.

As Rose's attention turned, Ignus had just finished off his meal, "Oh! No worries at all Rose, don't fret none! I live and work up at the Casino in Solstice Heights; and if I'm not there I'm usually roaming about Canterlot on my days off." he said with a grin, feeling ecstatic that Rose wanted to see him again, "Oh, and here, so you don't have too keep your cake floating there." the dragon said as he handed Rose his empty plate.

Glitzen cuddled up to Honeywing as the show began, though he was hardly watching it fully, "Oh you!~ You're so sweet; if this is a dream, no one ever wake me up" he said kissing his coltfriend once more for his sweet words; as much as it was amazing to him to be in place so grand like Canterlot Castle, he could be in the slums of Manehatten for all he cared, as long as he had Honeywing by his side, he was happy; glancing up now and then at the show, Glitzen couldn't help but wonder what kind of fabric the Wonderbolts used in their outfits, and if it was an organic or synthetic blend, did it breath well? Or did they trade off for more of a streamline design instead of comfort? Perhaps he would be able to find out someday, and maybe they'd let him design new ones someday! Oh and if Spitfire would let him do her hair, his day would be fabulous; but for right now, he pushed those thoughts to the back of his head and focused on the wonderful situation at hoof and wished the night would never end.

Following Cat inside his lair, Dark walked over to his work table and plopped down on the crate he used as a makeshift seat, "It's, err...it's fine...not like I do much of anything really." he said as he started levitating some Poison Joke to the table and began crushing it with a pestle and mortar before sifting the powder into a vial of water above a flame; herbology always was his favourite class in school.

"Fates...right...I never have been on good terms with fate or luck or happenstance or whatever you want to call it...The Fates always seem to spit in my face, so forget them...." he said as he swirled around the Poison Joke potion before capping it and setting it in a little brown box on the floor next to him; turning around as Cat addressed him, Dark once again couldn't hide a smile at the filly's goofy look, who was this girl, seriously; shaking his head lightly Dark chuckled, "Heh, well, it's a few miles I'd say at least. You're out in Froggy Bottom Bog! Home of the Hydra...man that thing can snore...five or so months of that stuff, bluh....But being out here alone, you get used to it."

"Mrf....Right....whatever..." Dark muttered as he led along to his lair; what was compelling DC to be nice to this gal? Wasn't fair her using his weakness against him, cute eyes and pleading made Dark an easy target at times. As they continued on, the filly introduced herself as Cat Napper, an artist from Ponyville; why give him her name? Names always complicate things, for one he'd be expected to remember it and for two that would mean he'd have to acknowledge the fact they know each other, which oddly didn't seem to bother Dark as much as he thought, "Er..R-right, Cat...Gotcha..." he said, unable to not let out a smile at being called a friend, but he tried to quickly push the silly notion of friendship out of his head; he was a villain, he didn't need friends....but her smile truly was sincere and charming...she may not be a friend, he thought, but she's no enemy at this rate, "Erm...bluh..we're...we're here." Dark said pointing to his lair up ahead.

Dark lets out a bit of a chuckle as the filly blushes, "Heheh, you blushin...." he couldn't help but laugh as all that cockiness the female had at the Gala last night was washed away, "A cloud huh?...Yes I live here, I have for over five months now, though I wouldn't say I'm a hermit really....I get to town now and then...and...get apples or rocks thrown at me...Bah..." Dark said shaking his head; why wasn't he yelling at her? After the taunting he received last night, he should be screaming for her to get out of there.

As the little filly dove behind him, Dark laughed at the squeak she made and glanced back to her as she spoke, "You're kidd....hnggh... he was about to tell her to get lost, but blast it, the eyes, who could say no to eyes like that, big and adorable pleading eyes, Dark never stood a chance, "Guh....Fine...Follow me, you can hang out at my lair....just no complaining about the looks or anything alright?...Built the place myself..." he said nodding towards the direction of his house and waiting for her to follow.

Dark facehoofed at the fact he forgot he was undyed; his horribly unvillainous coloured pelt and mane shining in the morning sunlight; it drove him crazy, "Grah, bluh, yes I'm blond..." he said with a twitch; now not only had he saved the little runt, she knew what he really looked like, this day was starting off SO good..."I LIVE out here! I should be asking what you're doing out here, besides whimpering at the sight of a tiny spider, that is, heheheh." the villain said with a chuckle; if that little spider gave her the willies that bad, what would the site of a Hydra or Manticore do to her? As much of a laugh as that would be to see, Dark couldn't help wonder what kind of silly excuse she would make for being out in the middle of the bog.

The sun was drifting lazily in the morning sky as Dark was rousted from his slumber; the villain was still dressed in his Gala attire from the night before, due to having gotten home so late. With a yawn and a thud he tumbled of his sofa and threw his Tux onto it to head out back for a brisk morning shower of icy cold water; not that he enjoyed it by any means, but one does what they must with no way to heat it.

The dye ran out of his pelt as he showered, oozing to the ground to make a murky puddle of protection, since the sensitive noses of the beasts of the Everfree couldn't stand the scent of the horribly cheap dye, Dark couldn't afford to just wash it away. As he started drying off, however, he was interrupted by the sounds of screams coming from further away from the lair "Blast what now?!" he said to himself as he threw on his trademark cape and ran towards the sound.

Upon arrival Dark saw a pony up a tree quaking in fear and a large spider skittering around; with a disgruntled sigh, Dark summoned a shield around the arachnid and promptly condensed the shield, crushing the spider to nothing more than a gooey mass which he flung into the forest, sputtering out rather grumpily; due to his morning being disturbed; Dark walked closer to the tree and looked up it, "Rassin frassin rrrrr...Alright you can come down now you....Oh geeze it's YOU!" the villain was awestruck to see the artist from the Gala cowering in a tree like a wee babe.

Dark gulped as he the filly stared at him, had he gone to far? He thought to himself, 'Guh...maybe I was a little too rude...But....no one laughs at me like that...not anymore...is she....oh horseapples, she's not gonna cry is she? Crap...' taking a step back, the villain got an apologetic expression on his face and almost started to say something, when suddenly, the pipsqueak of a pegasus started right back to laughing at him, "......." the villain's face went from the apologetic look it held to one filled with anger once more, "GRAAAAH! ENOUGH! STOP LAUGHING AT ME! NO ONE LAUGHS AT ME! NOT ANY MORE!" Dark yelled out as his horn glowed a bright white, causing a large shield of translucent magic to appear next to him.

With a flick of his head, the colt sent the shield hurtling into a tree, knocking it flat to the ground with a thud; the beasts and birds ran and flew for cover as the villain toppled a few more trees before shouting again, "MARK MY WORDS, YOU'LL REGRET THIS DAY! NO ONE MAKES FUN OF DARK CORE AND GETS AWAY WITH IT! NEVER AGAIN!" he shouted as he ran up the garden wall; tossing his mask to the garden ground as he reached the top, Dark glanced one last time at the filly with a look of mixed feelings before shaking his head with a sneer and jumping off the other side.

Dark stomped and snorted; who was this filly to laugh at him?! "Grrrr....WHO DO YOU THINK YOU'RE LAUGHING AT HUH?! I'M NOT SOME KIND OF ENTERTAINMENT FOR YOU TO GAWK AT, YOU FILTHY FLYING FLEABAG! WHY, WHEN I FINALLY HAVE THIS WORLD IN MY GRASP, YOU'LL BE ON YOUR KNEES BEGGING FOR MY FORGIVENESS, JUST BEFORE I TOSS YOU TO A HORRIBLY HUNGRY HYDRA! YOU WILL RUE THIS DAY, YOU GROTESQUELY GRODIE GIT!" the villain sputtered out in a huff; his rant could probably be heard across the entire gardens at this rate, "AND YOUR PITIABLY PATHETIC PREDETERMINED NOTIONS OF THE PREPOSTEROUS PROSPECT OF FRIENDSHIP IS PERFECTLY PUERILE!" Dark was nearly steaming at this point; he hated not being taken seriously and hated being laughed at even worse; this little filly just made it on his Revenge List at the very least.

Dark couldn't help but roll his eyes, "Friends? Feh, what would I need friends for hmm?...They're nothing but trouble and get in the way of your goals." he said scoffing a bit; what good were friends to an evil mastermind? Could they even be used as stepping stones? No, their 'help' would probably just make their usefulness crumble beneath Dark's hooves; no he was better off alone and he knew it, "And yes, there were plenty of kangaroos around, but only ONE being sketched; now if YOU were looking for a good prank, what would you do? Shoot a straggler? Or go for one getting the attention? Heheh...and I'll thank you to not call me a punk; you pitiful pint-sized pegasus!" the pelt dyed colt said with an arrogant tone about him; after that dance he just got done with, it felt nice to get back to the REAL reason he came; to spread havoc and chaos amongst the party-goers...and so far he had at least one short pony, short fused.

Dark smiled as he levitated over a piece; taking a bite of the snack he nodded, "Mmm, these are really good!" he said smacking his lips a little bit, "Tis a great change of pace from all the apples I've eaten as of late; in fact really anything would be a good change of pace heheh." the dyed colt said with a chuckle before getting another bite.

Dark flinched lightly as the filly ambled off his first name unwittingly and bit his lip when she called it girly, "Guh, Dawn's not, too girly of a name...Right? I mean, I'm sure there's plenty of Dawns out there that are pretty strong and such..." he said, trying not to sound too suspicious; after all, villains NEVER reveal their true identity right off the bat, "I like that name." he said referring to Purple's name with a smile, "Err, uhm, you said your brother's supposed to come get you eh? If you want I can, ah, hang out with you til he gets here."

"Oh thanks much Rose, that's very nice of you!" Ignus said with a smile as he took a bite out of the cake, as Rose said, it was really delicious and light; setting the cake on his plate, the dragon glanced down at his friend to see if he was enjoying the food as well, before returning his gaze to Rose, "Oh, I'm having a wonderful evening myself, I've gotten to talk with some highbrows and meet you, oh uhm and plus it's a night away from my job, so that's always a great thing heheh. How about you? I hope you're having a good night as well." he said with a chuckle, before taking another bite out of the tiramisu.

Indeed, though, in the app, I never really stated what the hunting was done for, I was trying not to focus on that as much really, simply due to the fact something like this might come up heh.

Actually, equines can eat meat, some of the proteins wouldn't digest and just pass through is all, kind of like if we humans tried to eat grass. And being who they were, the parents didn't JUST trap for meat, they didn't let any of the animal go to waste. Y! Answers Reference
