Pretzelparty

OOC:It's in the last post : presteza!xD)) The crowd muttered and chatted among themselves and one stallion retorted,"Unicorns like her are always using those weird arcane magics... they won't let us have the day and night without them unless we give them some of our crops! The pegasi aren't any better either!" Presteza smiled at the speech Rusty made and trotted to his side, "I'd do the same for him!" she said proudly with a slight blush on her face. The crowds began to disperse and go back to their business, many of the ponies were still glaring at her. She sighed and simply ignored them, strolling over to the eccentric inventor,"Thanks again,Rusty... by the way you can call me Pressy. It's what all my close friends call me!"

The unicorn shot him a look of disbelief and muttered sarcastically,"Oh yea, like their gonna listen to me..." she sighed and decided to give it a try. She slowly stepped forward and took a deep breath,"Alright, 'ere's the deal! My friend and I were trying to travel throu-- er to find another friend of his. He asked for my help in fixin' this thing so it could take us to a far off place so we could find him. But this big magical dome was around his friend's prison and we ...bounced off it and landed here..." She looked back to Rusty nervously as a silence fell upon the crowd. "She's lying!" one mare yelled out. "Unicorns and earth ponies can never be friends!"Shouted a stallion. "Even if she was telling us the real story, She probably would've put that magical whatchamacallit up to make this big thing land in our village anyway!" Presteza looked back and went back beside Rusty and said simply,"Told ya, mate..." she muttered, the crowd looking ready to pounce on her.

((oh and to answer your questiion trottingham is an english accent))

"Wot's with that reaction?" she thought to herself before just letting it go and looking to the seemingly injured Stallion on the inventor's back,"hey there, mate. Well what's your story?" she asked with a calm smile. With the mare trotting alongside them and in full view of the ponified pilot he had at least gotten a chance to see what kind of creatures he was obviously dealing with and what they basicly looked like.

The mare poked her head curiously out and then trotted out of the machine, "uhh... this compartment seems fine and most of the parts are all here... We just seem ta be missin'... the ... display..."she trailed off as a small crowd of angry looking earth ponies surrounded her. She took note of their clothing and looked back to her friend,"Yea... I think We're pretty far ba--" she was cut off as one Stallion shoved a hoof into her face,"What do you think your doing here unicorn... were you gonna kidnap that stallion and make him your servant or something?!" The unicorn was greatly caught of guard by the sudden stream of accusations. Meanwhile Rusty's crowd had a very different reaction, they were indeed curious about his attire but mostly they were asking if he was alright and what The unicorn had done to him.

((I'm assuming all earth ponies right? and is this before hearth's warming eve?))

((OOC: May I join in?)) Presteza Was on the road again after selling a few portraits in Ponyville, she'd managed to make about six gold bits today! Not bad for a single day's haul, although her smiled faded slightly as she noticed the older stallion helping along another earth pony to the town. She galloped over and spoke up in her accented voice, an accent the pilot could easily mistake for his homeworld/dimension's equivalent of Trottingham. "Oi, can I help you two out?" she asked keeping the pace alongside the duo of earth ponies.

Presteza was already fiercely excited by idea of time travel and when her friend gave his big "YEEEEEEEEEE-HAAAAAAAAAW!" It wasn't in the mare's nature to not join in. "A-YEEEEEEEEEEEEEHAWWWWWWWWWW!" she chimed in alongside her friend, dragging the last syllable out for a few until she heard Rusty shut the door and laughed,"Oh righ'!" she blushed a bit at getting so easily caught up in the yell. As the displays changed she looked around,"U-uh ... anything I should be doin'?"

The mare coughed a few times at the clouds of dust and nodded,"Let's hit the roa-- er timestream?... oh,woteva!let's just go!" she said with glee. She trotted over close to rusty, she still didn't know exaclty how this machine worked so she figured the safest place was next to her friend. The mare watched all the lights and gears and sparks lighting up and whirring to life, an incredibly potent maelstrom of emotions building inside of her along with her excitement. Wonder,delight, fear, nervousness and giddiness whirring like a blender in her chest.

The mare just stood there, alot of these ideas of paradoxes went over her head but she thought she might have gotten some handle of what Rusty meant. Presteza cracked a smile as she witnessed the previously saddened stallion perk up and smiled even brighter as he rambled on, the idea of time limbo was something she thought she had a decent grasp of. Upon hearing him say they were going back in time she practically lit up in anticipation,"So after we get your friend back we can all travel through time together? ooooooh, That is gonna be so awesome!" she almost shouted that last part at the top of her lungs before she stood before rusty and gave him a salute,"Just tell me wot ta do, Boss!"

"Oi... what about this?" she pointed her hoof to the panel. The mare looks at the labels and smiles, memorizing it's current state and looked to rusty. She pokes the older stallion's shoulder and spoke up,"this display looks untouched so it's probably exactly how it was when your friend first left." Presteza looks all around the machine for anymore clues that could be of help, still determined to help her new friend.

Presteza nodded and smiled wide,"Of course I will! you hired me as an assistant and that what I'm gonna... well assist ya!" she extended her hoof to rusty,"Now... just tell me where start!" Her own voice full of enthusiasm as she waited for her employer to take her hoof. "I'm positive, We'll get your friend back!"

"I-I see... wa-wait! maybe we can use that somehow?" she suggested in an optimistic tone."If he's remembered by someone and we could subject the machine to your memories... maybe it could target him and bring him back?" she said desperately trying to raise the stallion's spirit*

*the mare's jaw dropped and her eyes widened at the sight of the machine it was definitely an elaborate looking device. trotting around the device and holding a hoof over her nose to protect herself from the dust she looked all around. "A time machine?! really?!... This. is. AMAZING!" she practically shouted, before zooming over to rust and going almost nose to nose with the stallion as she was swept up in her excitement, which soon faded upon seeing her friend's mood she backed up a bit and looked back. "I think a Time machine is an awesome invention! Think of all the tings ponies could see!"

*She froze and let go, the device already partially uncovered she took a few steps back,"Er sorry ... we can move on if ya like!" she started to walk away from the device and smiled apologetically to her friend.

The mare glanced back at the tarp and tilted her head at it,"Ya sure? what about this one?" she asked beginning to take an edge of the tarp in her teeth and starting to tug.

Presteza listened to every single smell the stallion listed, her nose twitching a moment as she thought she heard him list daisies off. A smile spread over her face as eventually he mentioned trottingham park. The mare lifted her hoof almost as if to get attention in a class,"Ooh! oh! that one, the smell of trottingham park!" she said giddily before the dial appeared before her, her keen eyes searching the labels on the dial until she found the one she sought. she turned it with her hooves to the desired scent and relaxed as the smell of the foliage of the familiar scent of home wafted about. "such a nostalgic smell!" she said almost dreamily

The mare thought for a moment, holding her hoof to her chin,"Does it only do bakery based smells or can it do others too?" she asked looking all around the device to see if there were any buttons that had labeled scents. ((OOC:sorry for the short post )

AH yes... puncutation never was my strongsuit I never seem to grasp it perfectly! Anyway I've expanded on the travels with her brother... I worry if i put too much though

The mare's icy blue eyes scanned all around the large room, momentarily resting upon the tarp covered invention rusty seemed to dread unveiling... but soon traveled over to a very large barrel or cask shaped device. The large machine seemed to have several pistons on top of the lid which had hinges on the back, just nearing the device both ponies noticed a rather sweet-scented aroma coming from the massive machine. Soon it would come to rusty; this was the prototype perfume and cologne machine he had started work on designed to make high quality scents in faster time than was produced by the current manufacturing method. Presteza's nose lead her to this large device and after circling it and finding no particular label or any tag on the contraption she turned to her employer,"What's this one? it smells incredible!" said the mare still a bit invested in the device.

The mare went wide eyed a moment and looked to the stallion with a nervous grin,"erm... would I regret asking if the mouse came out of that ok?" she waited for the stallion's answer, whatever it was she went over to the apple and nudged the now discombobulated apple. "It's kinda warm... but we can still work on gettin' it ta work, right?" her lips curling into a kind smile as she rubbed her muzzle getting rid of the lingering warm feeling from the fruit. (OOC: am I allowed to make up inventions we find in here?)

"Cool! at first I thought it just sprouted propeller's and flew over to somewhere" she chuckled an circled to the other side of the table next to rusty as he appeared to ready the machine,"We gonna test it?" she asked curiously. Honestly a lot of the talk of atoms and gravity had gone far over her head.

During the statement of the problem most pony farmers might have with the device she seemed to be in thought for a few moments, still listening as they cantered over to the next device she spoke up,"It'd be neat if ya could build somethin' like one o' those treadmills to power them... although instead of immediately activating the machine it'd store the power until they got off, then they could activate it and while the machine stomped the berries they could pick more. That might kinda take care of the laziness problem, rig--" she was cut off by the sight of the new device before already curious of it's workings she almost laid her chin upon the table as she got a closer look only to jump back in surprise when the stallion planted his hooves on it, then listened to his explanation with a nod."It can? er... how does it work?"

The mare slipped her hoof into the hoop on the tankard and waits for Rusty to pour himself one as well. Strolling closer to her friend she lifted her tankard and gestured him to do the same,"Cheers!" she said... well cheerily as she knocked her tankard to Rusty's before practically downing the drink in one or two gulps. A mustache of the grape juices on her upper lip for a few seconds before she realized it and licked it off with a chuckle,"Wow! This is delicious!"
