Pretzelparty

Presteza chuckles and nods,"Well, sometimes a mare has to know how to turn on the charm."She said with a hint of pride and chuckled at the second remark,"Yea... I don' think you're their type, Honestly with how they were actin' before I was surprised it worked too!" The Suggestion of the magic filled herbs seemed like the best choice in her mind. While she was still getting better at controlling her magic... even if she found she could only cast spells while holding her favorite paintbrush in her mouth, but Just using directionless magical energy with her problems seemed more dangerous to her than the Everfree Forest of ancient times.

"Oh yeah the parts... could you get the list for me? no telekinesis remember?" she asked somewhat nervously of her friend while they trotted to the City that seemed to be just poking up over the horizon.

Pressy thought for a few and looked over to the group of stallion's and thought for a moment, Rusty could practically see the gears whirring going in her head before a smile creased her lips.

"I May have one... S'a bit risky, wait here a second." The mare took a deep breath and removed her hat and the bands on her mane, hoofing them to rusty. she seemd to be trying to tidy herself up a bit before she nonchalantly went over to the group, smiling calmly. The conversation was just out of earshot for Rusty but it seemed some of the stallions seemed to be blushing a bit. After a few minutes of conversation. She bowed politely to the group and cantered back to her friend, at first the earth ponies were waving happily at her but then seemed to be glaring at rusty and then muttering to themselves.

"Okay, apparently It's north by northeast ... let's hurry up and get out of 'ere..."she said leading the older stallion towards the destination with her.

((OOC: I'd like to join... but my character travels alot and well.. doesn't have a house. could I say the flyer just say a flyer was caught in the wind and hit her?))

Hello, My Painter already travels and would love to spend some time with some other artisticly incline ponies, her name is presteza!

Pressy smiled and laughed a bit as she witnessed the stallion plant the fake horn upon his head, "Okay, I really should try and meet that zebra sometime..." It still occurred to her she had yet to actually travel outside of Equestria yet.

"I heard the unicorns o' this time were alot more prim, proper,posh...and other stuff that starts with the letter "P" tha' sounds fancy... I guess I'm gonna have to try and look the part." The mare sighed and lowered her head, ears flattening. "I hate bein' dolled up... well anyway to the closest unicorn city" She said hopping up on her hind legs and pointing her hoof forward, her chest puffed out.

After a brief pause she looked around and then pointed behind her,"Or is it that way?..."

The mare tilted her head,"uh... Wot's a human?" she asked as she continued to easily match the pace of Rusty. The rythmic beats of their hooves pounding of the beats of her and rusty's hooves on the road to ponyville hospital, as she tried to think of what this stallion could be talking about.

"Well... Maybe if I do go you should probably wait outside the entrance ... we gotta face it, A single unicorn entering a Unicorn city won't make anypony suspicious, if I entered it with you it'll be a bit more brow raisin'." Pressy may not have been the smartest of unicorns but she had an excellent memory and her time spent studying equestrian history in school would not have been in vain! She looked at the group of stallion and simply stuck her tongue out at them, one of them seemed about to come over but another one just pulled him back.

"But... if ya did come with me you'd need a disguise o' somekind..."

Pressy smiled and clapped her hooves ,"Awesome!" she said as she looked around for anyone watching them, she didn't see anyone so she began to pat down the loose dirt and soil."Can ya give me a list o' the stuff ya need? I think if I head to one of the unicorn cities I could get some of the parts." she noticed a few stallions over by a nearby tree seemingly muttering nearby, it was fairly obvious who they were talking about, subtlety was not their cup of tea.

Trotting back over to rusty she thought for a moment,"So... what time period do ya think we're in exactly? It's obviously before equestria's foundin' but it's not cold yet..."

Well...uh it seems kinda a mix of both somehow,"she said nervously as she went over to ... what remained of the outside display. It seems that a quarter of the console had either been ripped off and and most of the rest of it seemed to have... melted or liquified. Other parts seemed to have just been removed.. possibly by some sticky hooved youngsters seeking to annoy the unicorn they thought owned the large machine. Pressy thought for a few moments and turned to Rusty,"If ya want we could try and get some parts back from anypony who mighta took 'em ...or at least you can. Did ya 'ave any rare or... exotic parts in it?"

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.
