Character Summary: "Listen friends and I will tell you, the story of a hypnotist who broke his mind with a STUPID trick."

The story of Mesmeric begins as near any other, he was a happy go lucky unicorn foal who loved nothing more than to play with his toys, his favourite, however, was his yo-yo; for hours on end Mes would play with his yo-yo, practicing new trick and such; when one day, while practicing one particular trick for his friends, he noticed one of them slipped into a deep trance, the friend followed the swinging yo-yo to and fro, never once taking his eyes off of it; while at first it worried Mesmeric, he thought back to a show his parents took him to one year, where a pony in a tuxedo and a top hat swung a coin on a string to make a volunteer fall into a slumber and then gave them orders, to which they followed to a T. Smirking playfully, he commanded his friend to do silly things like, act like a dog, or hop on one leg, before letting him go. It was at that moment the young Mesmeric gained his cutie mark and cemented his future as a grand hypnotist.

Many years down the line, 10 to be precise, our young Mesmeric, bright eyed and full of confidence, took stage for the very first time. It was a wondrous evening for the lad, his friends and family were all there for support. As any hypnotist does, he began his routine with several other magic tricks before calling up his first volunteer, a young and pretty filly, near his age, with whom he was instantly smitten; she was as brilliant as the lights that headlined his act and as charming as anypony could ever hope to be.

Long after the show had ended, he came to the lass, and asked if perchance she'd be interested in meeting again sometime, over dinner, as fate would have it; with a smile as soothing as the morning dew, she said yes...and so began many a happy year for the boy hypnotist.

BUT! As fate would ALSO have it! Not all good things last forever! Far far from it. For you see, 9 more years along, Mes here once more headlines a great show, the crowd was cheering and his fiancee was right there with him as his lovely assistant. The crowd was hushed, and the light were dimmed, Mesmeric was about to attempt a hypnotist's trick that had never before been attempted...He was going to swap the personalities of two of his volunteers and then swap them back. As his horn glowed with magic energy, something...was amiss....the others heads should be glowing....what was wrong? When suddenly, with the crash of a thousand lightning bolts...Mesmeric was out like a light.

A few weeks later, our Mes woke up in a hospital, his lovely fiancee once more at his side; she said the spell hadn't worked right and the magic struck him down violently; but little did she know at the time, it was at a great cost at which he survived...For having such wild magic flow through his mind, it caused a chasm, a rift if you will, setting loose what you would call, his conscience, into control of their own. At first it was just the voices in his head, but as time went on, he began doing things he had no control of, or waking up in places he hadn't been before....It wasn't long before his love...with whom he had thought he'd spend his entire life with...left....without so much as a goodbye, only a note saying 'I hope you three will work yourselves out.'...and it was at that moment Legerdemain and Athame first spoke directly to Mesmeric.

Now, this year, a pony with a shattered mind wanders his lonely home, wondering if there is even a way to return his mind to what it once was...while Legerdemain, his angel, thinks to help him and bring him good fortune...while Athame, his devil, thinks only for himself and aims to be the dominate one in this odd three's company mindset. Will he find friends to help him? Or will he be alone in his quest to bring back the shattered pieces of his mind? Only time will tell.

Poison Joke Reaction: Grows two more heads, allowing Legerdemain and Athame to speak without control of the body.

"Yeah, and they get really mad if you hunt their pet heh...I learned that long ago." Ignus said with a chuckle as he remembered hunting someone's cat quite some time ago, it was some stuck up's cat and he was near starving, thankfully someone gave him a new job and some food on the same day or he would have been eating cat kabobs that night.

As he and the younger dragon chit chatted a bit, Ignus caught a glimpse of a cute mare out of the corner of his eye, turning to look, he couldn't help but blush a little bit when she smiled and waved at him; grinning a little, Ignus returned the wave as he thought to himself, 'Wow, now she's cute...wonder if she's spoken for heheh.'

"I practiced for years back home, once you learn, tis hard to forget my dear~" Dark said with a smile, never once dropping his gentlecoltly persona or his partner; though there were a couple of close calls as she tossed herself to and fro, only he would have noticed hopefully.

Dark was amazed to her Malediction actually laugh which, in turn, made the young villain smile even more, never before had he actually enjoyed dancing with somepony, let alone in such a crowd; but as the spotlight aimed at the duo, he ignored all the nagging in the back of his head that was telling him, 'This is silly, go do something evil' or 'Heh hey let her drop', and focused on nothing but the dance at hoof.

Dark struggled a little more as he heard a filly's voice ring out to him, "A door...A DOOR! What a novel idea, yes, and get caught by the various ponies I'm trying to avoid? No thanks....and yes, a little help would be very much appreciated." he stated to the filly as she smirked at his predicament, "Well? Don't just stand there snickering! Get me outta here!....Gah...sorry, I didn't mean to be snippy; please get me outta here? I'm getting light headed from the lack of blood flow heh." the villain said with an apologetic expression on his face as he fell limp; though in the angle he was in the window, he couldn't see the pony talking to him.

Heya Dessy, welcome to the site, be sure to double check the rules and such, once you get 5 post count you'll be able to post outside of the Intro forums =3

"GAH! NO! GET OFF OF ME, YOU PATHETIC PINK PUFFBALL!" Dark shouted out as he flailed about from the sudden attack; doing his best to not be captured, the villain tried to roll away from the perpetrator of the perilously planed prehend; as they flailed about in a hurricane of black, red and pink, Dark Core thought he had gotten the upper hoof of the battle, but after a few moments of 'combat', he wound up with his fore and hind hooves tied up as he laid on his back.

"Bah! Let me go you confounded carrier of cruddy confections! You will rue the day you dared to tie the dread master of all things sinister up like a common farm animal!" he shouted out as he tried to hop away on his back, and failing miserably, "Lemme go lemme go LEMME GO!"

Dark followed Mal past the crowds; he was thankfully used to large gatherings of ponies, due to being taken to so many weddings back home, thought it was a little different this time because he actually wanted to be here.

Waiting patiently as his partner walked over to the musicians Dark pondered to himself, was she actually having fun or just doing this to blend in? Though it didn't matter much to him, not like at the end of the night she'd remember him anyway.

As she returned and pulled him along to the center of the dance floor, he couldn't help but feel a bit nervous, "Wait, huh? Different as how...Queues?" he asked before she took her position as the music started...A tango, his favourite, it was so much more upbeat and intimate than other dances...not that he cared for such silly things like that, though as they danced on Dark couldn't help but grin, following her queues was as simple as pie, as this dance was his domain; obviously though, she was as good as he was, which made him smile even more as he felt the eyes of ponies in awe rushing over them.

Dark slowly opened the door to his hiding spot to peer out at what was going on, hoping to catch a glimpse of what went into that stuff to make the flames shoot up like that, with something like that, taking over would be a cinch, "Hmm what's making it glow blue like that?...BAH! I can't see a blasted thing from this cabinet I should GHK!" he said as he was about to get out to try to find a better vantage point, but stopped when he heard a voice calling into the kitchen from back at the main counter, "Ahh, a distraction! Now's my chance!" Dark stated as he began to expertly slink out of his hiding spot with the deft and sleek movements of an expert cat burglar....in other words some pans got caught on his cape, he tripped out and landed face first with a thud crash bang, ".....Dang und blast..."

Loved the one I requested for my buddy, and I thought since Iggy here needed art I may as well throw him down on the to do list =3

Dark Core was looking dashingly debonaire as he skulked about the Castle gardens, the place where animals of all kinds congregated en mass; his black dyed pelt blended in rather well with the night time surroundings, though of course his pure white mask stood out, but if he kept moving, it wasn't noticeable.

As he happened along through the garden, a sight caught his eyes, it wasn't a bird of amazing beauty nor was it a buzzard that buzzed, no, twas a small pegasus sitting sketching a kangaroo, "Oh ho? A chance to cause a little mischief! I can't pass up a golden opportunity such as this!" he exclaimed as he pulled out his nefarious, sinister, terrifying, horrifying...SLINGSHOT! Taking aim with his weapon of choice, the villainous colt grabbed up a small pebble and pulled back on it, sending the little rock hurtling towards and smacking the kangaroo on its side

The School, Latin, Educateus Imprisonateus, or something like that, either way our megalomaniac master of mischief, Dark Core, was not a fan at all; yet still, every day after school was closed, he would slink his way from tree to tree and bush to bush to snatch a book or two to whisk them away back to his lair at the bog; it wasn't that he didn't like to know or learn things, just the fact that schools held bad memories for him due to the harsh teasing back in Stalliongrad.

Ever closer Dark Core skulked until reaching an open window, "Muwehehehehe, the foals NEVER close THIS window, it's almost as if they WANT me taking their books and supplies heh." he said with a smug grin as he started to climb in the window, "Like taking candy from a WAHAGH! OW!" the villain exclaimed as the window slammed shut around his midsection, "GAH AND BLAST! I'M STUCK!" he shouted as he tried to loosen it with magic, but it didn't budge, "Blast blast blast blast! I'm gonna be stuck here all bloody night..." Dark flailed around in the window, thinking MAYBE someone will come and help him; but with his reputation as a villain, it was doubtful.

"Not-sc...Oh! My tuxedo? Clothes, yeah, I don't normally wear this, but on special occasions I like to dig it out of my closet and slip it on, it makes a good contrast to my scale colours heheh" Ignus said adjusting the collar of his outfit, this one hes had for a few months now, he kept having to buy new ones back during his growth spurt, but since it slowed, it looked like this one would last him a while, "Yeah, I like the food they serve well enough, but nothing beats gems and the like that's for sure, or some meat!" he stated with a nod, it wasn't very often that he ate meat, it was more of a rare now and then treat that he would indulge in ever few months or so.

Glitzen looked up to the sky as the last of the fireworks faded into the night, leaving nothing but a wispy cloud of smoke behind in its wake; he smiled over at Honeywing at the mention of moving the cloud, "Oh that sounds divine my dear! The show from here will be ever so more wonderful than with the large crowd, you know?" he said nuzzling his colt friend once again; sure the site of the show wouldn't be perfect from where they were, but the night was cool and calm, and the show wasn't what was important to the stallion, it was making sure his friend was having as wonderful an evening as he was having; and so far it looked like he was succeeding.

Dark Core stood in awe, watching as Malediction flipped out, seeing the green flames flicker into existence and feeling the air chill as they danced around for a moment before being focused at a point, causing it to get colder and colder and colder still, up until it felt like Winter Wrap Up all over again; normally he disliked the cold, it reminded him of his home city too much, but something about it was awe inspiring to him; all the cold left a light frost on his pelt, "...That was amazing Mal! Whoa..." he said with an impressed smile on his face as she finally started to regain her composure and turned to him, "Alright then, let us take our leave shall we?" Dark said with a soft bow as he made his way towards the Ballroom.

Glancing around the kitchen for a moment, our intrepid villain spotted the pink poofy pony and her precariously persnickety pet not but a stone's throw away from his current deviously hidden location, also known as the other side of the kitchen behind the counter, "Hmm, this may be a little trickier than I thought...I better work fast." Dark said as he tiphooved a tad further into the room, causing the no toothed gator to turn and glare at him with a less than intimidation growl, "Bah, little pest, you'll make a fine wallet if I get my hooves on you!" he threatened the beast quietly, "In fact if I WHOA!" Dark exclaimed diving under a counter and hiding as flames shot up from what ever the curly maned mare was messing with, "Combustible Lemons ehh?....I could burn down a house with those..." he pondered to himself before closing the doors to the counter to spy more from underneath.

Glitzen started gathering up supplies onto his cart with a smile as the Pop Princess and Miss Wisp spoke to each other, it was nice to see his customers get along, and even nicer to see that one of them was a POP STAR of all thing; so far it was the best opening day ever.

Turning with a smile when his name was mentioned GG replied, "Of course darling I'd be more than happy to fix both of you up! It's no trouble at all!" pushing the cart over and flitting to Neon, Glitzen began his work on fixing up Neon's hair to be FABULOUS and WILD all the same time, "You'll look stunning when I'm done Miss Pop!"

((Soooooo sorry for how long it took to reply to this, I forgot it was my turn to reply OTL))

Tarisio smiled as he felt Starflower's movements become more fluid as they danced along; his eyes ever scouting the crowd, the pickings tonight were far from slim, and with any luck at all, Tarisio could make a cool million on jewelery alone; he had already slipped a charming ruby studded bracelet off the mare whom he was dancing with, "You're doing wonderfully Miss Starflower! You're quite the quick learner~" he said with a smile when suddenly she began to nuzzle his shoulder gently; he had grown used to this kind of attention from the ladies, but that didn't make it any less satisfying to the charming griffon; plucking a red feather from the band of them near his eyes he placed it in Star's dress, "While I cannot promise the whole evening; as I have business that shall need to be attended to; I shall stay with you for a while my piccolo fiore~" Tarisio said in a smooth charming voice before placing a gentle kiss upon the mare's cheek.

Updated with Gala shenanigans and DC's jaunt into Sugarcube Corner

Lemi smiled and gazed around at all the beautiful baked goods and the like that filled nearly every corner of the store, it was wonderfully colourful and smelled divine; the sweets shops her parents always took her to were actually rather dull as they were high end and the wears tasted pretty bland, "Oh, uhh, we just got here a day or so ago really." she said as she avoided making eye contact, hoping they would think it was due to wide eyed wonder at the treats, and not the fact she was lying to their face; she also hoped that they wouldn't ask about where she had been so far or where she was staying or things like that, each lie dug her hole deeper and deeper, and soon she may not be able to climb back out.

Dark couldn't help but smile to himself as the dance went on; Mal was obviously was better than she let on, she followed along the steps fluidly, "For just watching ponies, you're doing marvelously, and as for looks, who cares what someone thinks eh? I think you look fine, but it's what you think of yourself that really matters" he said with a nod; Dark guessed it couldn't hurt him to be nice for a little while, especially with such a good looking dancing partner; as they danced a voice rang out singing some song, it was rather pleasant to the ears, but Dark, and Mal too it seemed, wasn't a big fan of the love song that the pegasus was singing, "Oi...yeah lets head in, it's becoming a moot point to slink about out here; thanks, I had to learn a long time ago to ballroom dance and such, guess it comes in handy now and then" Dark said before Whitefeather walked by and made his remark, 'Lovebirds?! W-what?!' he thought to himself as a blush creeped across his face, sure she was nice looking, but she wouldn't think that even if he did, which he didn't...right?

Welcome back Buxy!

Glitzen giggled as Honeywing kissed his ears, "Heheh, darling I'm having a wonderful time, and as long as you're near, the night can only get better!" he said smiling at Honeywing; the night was wonderful, no worrying about deadlines, no wondering if the customers were satisfied, no running around hither and yon to get JUST the right fabric for the garment, none of that, just him and Honeywing, the world could be crashing down around them and he wouldn't know.

Dark smiles at Mal, "It's not so bad, the eye thing doesn't bother me in the least, I honestly think you look nice." he said as Mal took his hoof and, to his surprise, started to lead; she was rather good at it too, which took Dark aback a bit which caused him to blush a little bit, he never had to follow before, "I err hmm...Yeah...as I said I think you look pretty nice..." he said nervously just before she stopped to let him lead, "Heheh, it's alright really, hehe, uh...here we go." Dark said as he took the lead this time, his motions more fluid and his form well done, years of being forced to ballroom dance finally payed off as he led the mare in a surprisingly nice waltz.

It was a bright and sunny day as Dark Core, the self proclaimed greatest evil mage in all of Equestria sauntered into town, he despised days like this, so his already evil mood was amplified by the beating sunshine, 'Blast this heat!' he thought to himself, 'and blast these foolish ponies too! Soon they shall all tremble in fear at me' he laughed evilly, "FOR I AM THE MASTER OF ALL THINGS DARK MUWAHAHAHAHAHAH!" he shouted at the top of his lungs, everypony stopped and stared at the strange young colt, "Oh....uhh did I say that out loud? Hehehe....I was uhh practicing for a play, yeeesss that's it, a play!" Dark said hoping the crowd would dissipate, luckily it seemed everypony was in a hurry today, 'Hehehe, they bought it!' he laughed to himself.

'Now where to begin my reign of evil~' looking around a decent sized building, shaped like a Gingerbread House, caught his eye, 'Ahhaaa! A cake shop! peeeerrrrrfect' he thought rubbing his hooves together in a maniacal fashion, 'Now, how to get in there unseen...', watching for people who may be entering the shop, Dark jumped behind a couple who were going in and snuck quickly behind a large display case, 'Huzzah, Operation...uhh....Drat I really need to start writing things down! Now where is the kitchen' he mumbled to himself, 'Ahhhh there it is!' Dark said as he made a dash for the kitchen, 'ACK!', he thought as he tripped on his long cloak, luckily enough he rolled into the kitchen undetected, or at least he hoped so. "Now to get to work muweheheheh." he chuckled to himself, pondering on what to do first.
