[Canterlot] Annual Music Appreciation Festival! (Open)

[Solaria]

Fae's application, for those interested:

 

Ear-shattering music. The smells of fried foods. Sweaty bodies of fans mashing together to for an attempt to be just that much closer to the idols of their adoring gazes. Fateful Accord inhaled deeply, held it for a moment, then let the breath come rushing out with a satisfied aaaaaah. The Canterlot Annual Music Festival, one of the few things for which the unicorn would religiously appear. This was the place to be!

 

Hem of her long black trenchcoat fluttering in the chill breeze, Fae expertly navigated the surging throngs that surrounded just about every attraction that had been crammed into the avenues. A quick flick of the horn, and a rather large earth pony's unattended chips now belonged to the smirking mare. He seemed more interested in arguing about the amount of butter his popcorn didn't have anyway. Just a few more feet.... 

 

With a barely suppressed giggle of glee, the chestnut pony turned the corner and stood atop one of the slopes that ran down into Canterlot Park, where the real action was happening. Stages as far as the eye could see, and so many different bands playing she could just melt then and there! Instantly her trained ear picked out the dulcet, grating tones of punk rock and it was though a divining rod had taken hold of her body. Without conscious thought she simply wormed her way through the crowds, all conscious thought set aside for the time being as her mind filled ever more blissfully with those rebellious cries of the musical gods.

 

"♪Take me down to the Canterlot City where the magic gleams and the mares are pretty♫" she sang as she passed the rock and roll stage, her grin growing ever wider.

 

Truly this is where she belonged. The only things that were missing were good company and drinks to share! If she was honest with herself, Fae would even admit that this festival was one of the few things that took her mind off herself, deals, and getting ahead in the world. Ah well, no time to get sentimental now! Continuing to hum enthusiastically to herself, the mare continued on her merry way toward the punk stage.

Razor hated crowds. Cause he always....disappeared in them. Due to his shorter then normal size, Razor found that if he ended up in a heavy crowd of ponies or griffons, he tended to end up finding it harder to get through. And if ponies noticed him, they usually ALWAYS made a comment on his height. One time somepony had been dumb enough to think he was a child! Well, Razor had sorted that out....after a...well bit of a minor, tiny little....fight...

 

'Well...I didn't hurt the guy....badly anyway.' He thought.

 

Also, he just hated closed small places. He was a flier by nature, he loved the wide open spaces of the air. Tight closed areas made him uncomfortable. Still, he could understand why this was so crowded. It was a festival after all.

 

'Though hadn't really expected this when I got here.' He thought, listening to the loud music and ponies abound. This whole music festival was very surprising. Razor loved music, though some of the songs he was hearing didn't exactly fit his preferred genre. Still, some had a good beat and he had picked up a few new interests of bands and songs.

 

He was heading toward a stage in particular that had some interesting beat, but he was having difficulty squeezing through the crowds. As he squeezed and popped out from one small pack of ponies blocking his way, Razor immediately found he had inadvertently ended up right in the path of somepony, as was apparent when he felt something walk into him and making him trip up slightly.

 

"Aaaah, hey watch where you're going." He said, dusting himself off.

Mirthful music.  Merry multitudes.  Monstrous munchies.  All came together in a sweeping tapestry of beautifully unorchestrated mayhem.  It wasn't Daedalus' usual haunt to be sure.  He himself preferred more intimate settings.  A local pub, a hole in the wall boutique shop, a curio peddler's hovel, or a dusty nook in a library were all more comfortable settings for the mage.  But at the same time, he was curious and adventurous, and more than welcomed the rush of experience that was this music festival.

 

“♪Spend my days locked in a haze, trying to forget you, babe, but I fall back down…♪” he hummed along as he passed another stage.

 

Suddenly, the overwhelming aroma of hot caramel filled his nostrils.  Immediately he began salivating.  Tasty treats weren’t originally on the docket, but this was just too good to pass up!  Plinking a few bits down at the vendor’s stand, Daedalus soon walked away with his candied pecans floating next to his head, aglow with the violet aura of his magic.  He popped a few pecans into his mouth and savored the sweet, nutty flavor as he crunched away.

 

But in a moment it was all over.  His collision with a griffon made him trip over his own hooves.  The momentary lapse of concentration sent his precious pecans sailing through the air, right toward Fae...

Fae had stopped a few moments beforehoof, her instincts serving her well as the crowd flowed around her. Rather than continuing on her path straight into a scrappy-looking griffon, her place was taken by some waif of a stallion instead. As she had expected, neither of them knew how to navigate a festival.

 

"Three... two... one..." she murmured cheerfully in her playful accent.

 

On cue, the two collided. The griffon nearly tumbled, and the unicorn seemed to be balancing on one hoof at best. Not only that, his candied pecans were soaring right for Fae's entertained face. Hardly sparing the imminent sugary disaster a second thought, the unicorn allowed her violet magic to wrap around the ballistic treats. She hadn't missed a beat, her muzzle was still bobbing perfectly in time to the music as her front hoof tapped out the bass lines. With a roguish grin she helped herself to one of the pecans.

 

"Oh do watch where you're going boys," she chided with a grin. "Else you're like to lose your treats, and no pony likes having that lot! Well..." she munched another candied nut, "asiding from me of course. And one of you isn't really a pony, so I guess it all worked out eh?"

 

The mare swung an about-face, her wildly-colored mane and trench coat splaying in an elegant arc behind her from the motion.

 

"Now if you'll excuse me, I have a festival to enjoy," she cooed over her shoulder as she began to canter smoothly toward the punk rock stage.

Pyriacnin "Blitz" took careful precautions to not be noticed by the ponies because he wasn't a pony of course and really all they would do is run away from him, Pyriacnin snorted out a puff of clouds and made a quiet laughing sound like dragging metal on pavement but dragging it as slowly and cautiously as possible.

Blitz enjoyed the music he hummed in low baritone along with the current song even though he thought ponies were an odd bunch he knew they could play a good song to two.

Blitz had just noticed that a clumsy griffon and a unicorn had just collided with each other, the griffon had been holding pecans but at the moment they were flying towards the pony who had been expecting the collision to happen but the unicorn had stopped it with her so called magic.

Blitz laughed his laugh and made sure no one heard it.

Blitz is a pony sized Dragon he was happy about that so he then decided he would dawn his cloak so no one would suspect him a Dragon except for his wings those were the problem so he placed them tightly against his hide so they were not that obvious.

He descended the building in a few bounds landing in a nearby alleyway so no one would se him bounding down the building then he emerged from the dark and into the crowds of ponies and other creatures he had not yet been familiar with.

As he did he continued humming along with the music making his way over to the clumsy two who had collided.

Also as he did so he noticed millions of delicious scents he had never beheld himself upon before he licked his fangs thinking about all of the delicious food he could eat.
