The curious colt trotted over towards the voice, and grabbing his shovel to make sure not to be caught off-guard. ''Fine.. i'll.. help ya'...'' he called out, unsure if it were a trap or not. Usually, it was a trap, and it wouldn't be the first one either! He had many encounters with other treasure hunters who robbed him off his map and valueables. Pfuh.. they were worse than he was! The map, usually being a fake, almost always led them nowhere, but it was still a loss. A loss of bits that is! ''If this is a trap.. i swear to Celestia..'' the yellow earth pony growled, as he trotted further towards the voice. As he arrived at the exact place of the yelling, he looked around. Several pine needles where covering the ground, and the ground was.. a bit ..sticky. He looked up to meet face-to-face with a pegasus, that had appearantly gotten stuck in one of the trees. ''I hope for your sake that you were the one callin' out to me..'' he asks, tipping his head backwards as he steps forwards, his hoof getting covered in sap and some needles.

''How.. do i.. hold.. this map..'' the annoyed looking earth pony mumbled. He was struggling quite a bit trying to found the route described on the map. He had turned the map onto each side, but just couldn't find the direction. The map itself looked old, wrinkled and had some tears and scratched on it. It was still readable - though it all looking like complete gibberish - so Dice still tried find the way onwards to the 'treasure'. Never buy things from strangers, said his adoptive mother, but what did she know? He was going to find a treasure, from a map he bought from a stranger! Hah! He sat down at the campfire he had made and grumbled, putting the map next to him. The crisping of the campfire and the faint noise of somepony calling out to him he slowly began think- wait.. somepony was calling out to us? He looked around, and shook his head. ''Hello?'' he yelled back at the voice, frowning and trying his best to look at wherever the voice was coming from.

Ah, well.. i've added a little more, but i'm still a bit unsure about most of the app now.. i'll change it back to WIP.. AAaaand thank you, Herr Bann x3

''..A.. p-party?'' he asked slowly, taking a small sip from his almost empty coffee cup. He didn't really know how a party worked, neither was he ever at a party, big or small. He heard about them being ''lots of fun'' and ''awesome'' and such, but had never really partied anytime before. He doesn't really hang out with other ponies, but.. there was a first for everything, no? ''...U-uhm.. alright.. that sounds like fun..'' he says, smiling weakly and chuckles weakly. He knew the ponies ment well, but he couldn't help it but think that the ponies were actually sympathising with him. He prefered to not be sympathised with, but this looked like he didn't really had a choice. He shrugged it off, took the last sip of his coffee and looked around, waiting on what the pegasus would do with her idea for a ''party'' and how she was going to party, with her wing still busted.

''Hah, Acorn Seed.. and trust me, i'm not as much of a sir as you think, missy.. how about yourself? You got a name?'' he asked, a slight grin on his face. He didn't want to be called Sir, but since the filly looked so young he let it slide. Sir just made him feel so old.. and he didn't want to feel so old.

Chuckling a little at seeing the young blank flank doing both things, he shook his head. ''Heh, no need to do both things, missy..'' he said, looking back at her from pulling the cart. He grunted again, and picked up the pace. ''Wasn't there.. some.. other pony with you? Or am i going to have to buy glasses or something?'' he mumbled. He shook his head, and grunted. ''Why did you wanted to help me, anyhow? Do i look /that/ old?'' he said in a slightly annoyed tone.

''Hmphf.. me? Needing help?..'' he mumbled, snerking. He tought it through for a second, and grunted. ''You know what.. i do need a little assistance..'' he said, resisting the urge to raise an eyebrow. ''You can either help me pull this cart, or you just make sure no acorns fall off of it.'' he mumbled, with a nod. He laughed shortly, and shook his head. ''Doesn't really matter what you do, as long as you do it good..'' he said firmly, nodding at Blanca.

Trotting down the small, yet pleasant looking roads of Ponyville, Acorn Seed was mumbling into himself. ''These.. wretched.. acorns..'' he complained, pulling forth a big cart, with hunderds of acorns lying ontop of it. He hadn't only harvested them all, but was now also supposed to carry them into town. The old stallion he was, he started having trouble doing so. He was grunting almost the entire trip, and swearing to himself, with many ponies looking at him. He didn't care if he was old, as he was still capable of harvesting, pulling the cart, selling the acorns, and then pulling the cart back to his farm to repeat the entire progress! However, after having done the same thing over, and over again, he started to get really tired. Currently, along with his frustrated grunts were small pants. He shook his head, and growled at himself, noticable to several other ponies along the path, however still not caring if they looked at him like he was mad. In some way, he was probably only getting mad over alot of things.

''M-mhm, sorry.. i-it's understandable.. '' he muttered, flopping his ears back up again. ''N-no problem.. h-heh..'' he mumbled. ''H-Hope i a-am not r-rude or anything..'' he bit his lip and shook his head. Nodding weakly and clearing his throath, he took a sip of his coffe again as he got ready to speak. ''I d-don't like H-Heartwarming Eve, b-because everypony s-seems to be really happy.. b-being indoors with f-family and friends.. b-but i s-seem to never g-get that lucky..'' he says, with a weak laugh. ''P-probably because m-my family is a-always away, and m-most of my f-friends do h-have family t-they can be w-with this holiday..'' he said, another weak laugh this time accompanied by a weak grin aswell. ''B-but still, i d-do like s-silence.. i s-suppose..'' he said, with a grunt, his grin fading but still trying to look as festive as possible. His attention shifted as a pony started talking to him. He turned around, and eyed the pony carefully, before it hit him. ''O-Oh! Douglas! It's g-good to see you a-again!'' he said, his grin returning on his face. ''I've.. b-been quite cold, b-but.. good, i suppose! H-How about you?'' he said, scratching one of his hooves with a other awkwardly.

He dropped his ears, levitated his coffee back to himself, taking a small sip from it as he took a step back from the mare. ''S-shut up.. g-got it..'' he said, weakly. He took another sip from the hot coffee cup and coughed. He slowly trotted behind the two, biting his lip as it started snowing a bit more. He looked around again, and shook his head. Atleast they were still walking, as the snowing increased a bit, and so did the gust. He could feel the snow falling onto his nose as he shook it off. Just stay in the back, Survey.. he thought to himself, mabye they won't notice if he'd leave..

Slightly suprised, but suddenly encouraged to take the wounded pegasus along on the walk with the filly and himself. He cleared his throath again, and trotted over to the rampaging mare. ''E-excuse me, miss? W-would you care for a walk with me a-and t-this here f-filly..'' he said, slowly pointing at Fate, with a weak smile. ''N-no offence, o-ofcourse! Y-you are v-very kind..'' ''B-but, to g-get back to the point.. w-would you?'' he said awkwardly, holding up his cup of coffee for the mare.

''T-trust my, m-my name isn't s-so g-'' he wanted to reply, but he was also cut off by the thud, caused by the crashing pegasus. ''O-oh my..'' he muttered, as he slowly trotted over to the ''crash site''. He slowly eyed the pegasus, and quickly cleared his throat. ''..N-need.. a-any help?'' he said, now about twice as nervous, and with a faint blush on his cheek. He slowly turned to Fate. ''S-She looks like s-she's still h-healthy..'' he said slowly.

Added it, though it not being a very big thing. Sorry ^^ Also, i've changed her name.. it's a synonym for silver, i think..

Looking a little saddened by her reply about how he lacked company, however still happy about the fact that she had agreed to the offer. ''T-thank you! T-That's.. very.. n-nice..'' he said slowly, as he nodded, and looked around. His time of traveling with Brazil made him quite familiar with the feeling of being watched, however as he saw no other ponies, he simply shrugged it off. ''A k-knight?'' he chuckled a bit. ''A-atleast, i'll be s-safe a-around you!'' he said with a small laugh, before being cut off by a cough. He simply took another sip of his drink as he continued walking. ''Y-you have a n-nice name, i m-must say.. compared to mine, a-atleast..'' he said, slowly extending a hoof. ''O-oh, yeah! U-uhm, where are m-my manners.. m-my name is Survey!'' he said, awkwardly smiling at her again.

Slightly surprised by the voice, Survey weakly eeped, and turned towards the voice. He tried to make it as silent as possible, so the other wouldn't hear him, sounding pathetic. The voice seemingly came from a filly, who looked a bit younger than he was. Still, anypony to chat with was always a good thing! ''O-oh, uhm.. good d-day, m-miss! I w-was merely strolling a-across these.. icy streets, looking f-for other ponies!'' he said, with his usual nervous smile and shaky voice. His smile, though nervous was still as honest as he could make it. ''A-assistance, y-you say? I... don't r-really know what y-you mean with that..'' he said, tilting his head with a bit confused expression on his face. He wasn't all sure what she could ''assist'' with, though the company of a fellow pony, filly or not was always appreciated. ''W-well, just.. some f-friendly chatter, i'd like to have... i s-suppose..'' he said, scratching his head weakly, chuckling awkwardly. The filly looked quite optimistic whilst she asked him, so bluntly saying 'no' was pretty much out of the option for the nervous colt. He wasn't the kind of pony to just ignore others, despite how rude they could be to him. Though that this filly wasn't rude, at all. She even looked quite pleasant! ''C-care for a.. w-walk?'' he said, smiling politely, trying to hide his nervousness the best he could.

The air was cold, the trees were white and the sidewalks are slippery. Not the most wanted weather, but still okay for Survey to have a nice - yet careful - stroll through Trottingham. Wearing small, dark green ear mugs and sipping from his cup of steaming hot coffee. It was a rather normal winter day, with a bit of a cold chill and a faint notice of snow falling. Everywhere in Trottingham lights were lit in countless houses and most of the ponies, unicorns and pegasi were all inside, sharing fancy meals and hot drinks. Being a bit alone during the festivities though enjoying the peace, Survey didn't mind spending most of the winter alone in his house, reading books and drinking more coffee to stay awake. On Survey's back was a saddlebag, packed with his usual supplies. Some books and scrolls, quills and ink and a puzzle cube. For once, it wasn't quite as heavy as most of the times he had it stacked, though each bit of weight could increase the chance of crashing against something. Though currently still standing on his hooves, it was quite common for the unicorn to slip or plain slide across the slippery sidewalks. He had even considered wearing small mittens on his hooves to decrease the chance, but after some short pondering he decided it was better to just look out for the ice. Survey, so far had steadied himself countless times now, but was still standing. Steam coming from his mouth each time as he talked to himself. ''I-it's.. n-not cold, atleast.. n-not very cold.. it's cold enough! Y-yes! T-That's it, r-right?'' . It was pretty cold for the meek colt, not being used to the cold weather as a result of being kept home alot while he was still a foal. However this could not spoil his mood, it was Heartwarming Eve after all! Shivering and trying to talk some hope and sense into himself, he was looking around, hoping to spot a familiar face to chat with. It didn't even have to be anypony he knew, just a friendly looking face. Though that most of the streets were quiet and snowy, there still was enough chance of spotting somepony that could be chatted with!

Causidicus, so it's a bit far fetched. I'll change it to Sterling, if that'd be better.

To both Frain and Sturmman, i'm terribly sorry about the lack of linebreaks, i edited it but it appearantly turned out like.. what it turned out like > <. Heh, i changed it, and i hope it's okay now x3 And, to Sturmman alone, her first name mostly was a terrible idea Cassidy was close to the latin word for lawyer, but i'll just think of something else x3 And, Bann did give his okay, but seemingly has yet to respond to it. I'm terribly sorry again about the trouble, and i'll edit her name as soon as i got time for it, sorry > <
