Loss of Inspiration[Open!]


Jabberwock

Recommended Posts

Every artist of every kind faces the dreaded inspiration block eventually, Wick was no different.

 

He huffed through his nose as he stared at the empty page, looking displeased and shaking his head, "No use, it seems my well is just about dry." He set the quill down and looked thoughtful, "perhaps a walk will get the creativity flowing." He always enjoyed a nice walk through the town, especially when then weather began to chill, giving the air that crisp and delightful cold smell. It would be a perfect day for a walk, and who knows, he might meet some interesting characters while out an about. New friends always seemed to get the creativity flowing.

 

He smiled as he pulled a scarf from a hook on the wall with his magic, draping it around his neck and sliding his glasses on his face as he stepped outside, taking a huge breath of crisp air and grinning. It was a perfect day indeed. He made sure to lock his door before making his way down the small walkway that led to his house, he lived just outside of the main city, close enough to walk but far enough away to provide privacy. He watched the clouds roll by as he made his way down the road to the nearest town, watching ponies go by as he walked the streets. He had no real direction in mind, figuring he could just walk until he found something, or someone, interesting.

Aborel floated through the streets, looking for the perfect place to cause chaos. she was bored, having run out of new ideas for pranks and and spectacles. "there's nothing to do here!" she complained, then stopped when she noticed a strange, ghoulish young unicorn. "they might be fun...."

Sitting comfortably on a bench near the streets, however, was a silver-blue stallion in armor, his eyes glued to a scroll he was holding.

"Huh, cafeteria food?..." Arcus mumbled thoughtfully, tilting his head at the paper. "The recruits would probably go absolutely chaotic if we removed that..." He chuckled softly, continuing to read the scroll's contents.

He didn't normally go wandering about like this, but hey, a stallion's gotta take a break sometime, right? Even though he wasn't technically on duty, he still carried about his bow, slung tightly around his armor. Can't be too careful, after all...

This town could hold many, many surprises...

Wick was eagerly drinking in the sights around him, all the different ponies gathered here and there, and trotting to and fro as they went about their daily business. Pony-watching was always a fun way to spark up ideas, sometimes he'd see someone cross by that captured his muse and gave him a perfect idea. He chose a spot on a bench to sit and just watch the world go by.

 

He gasped when he heard a voice close by, startled by the sudden presence as he hadn't heard a single hoofstep approach him. He got wide eyed when he turned to look at the source, figuring out why quick, "Woah, hello there!" He chuckled and looked a little embarrassed by his exclamation, "I'm Wick...Who are you?" Or more better stated, what was she? He kept that question to himself, afraid of offending this unique creature, he'd never seen anything quite like her.  His ears swiveled when he heard more hoofsteps, spotting an armored guard pony  and looking surprised. Deciding that coming for a walk was a good idea indeed,

Strings carefully set down her tools before she screamed. There just seemed to be no inspiration left inside of her. She looked around her workshop, at the open paint cans, metal tools, and blocks of wood stacked high to the ceiling. There were a few projects on her otherwise empty display shelf, but most of them weren't finished. Strings was the kind of pony that started projects, but didn't finish them.

 

She decided to get some air.

 

Just as she was closing her door, she turned around to find two ponies, one of them wearing a suit of armor, crash into each other. She walked up to them, a little concerned for the two stallions.

 

"Are you two okay?"

As the group mingled, crashed into, and explained what they were two mares walked around the corner

One was a lavender Pegasus with a jet black mane and the other and tan colored earth pony with firry mane and sunset eyes

The Pegasus bunched up her scarf tighter "how can you stand this weather Crisp Leaves" she asked

"It's called getting used to it" crisp awnsered as she nudged her friend

The Pegasus laughed a bit "ya I guess your ri-......is that discord?" She said stopping within ear shot of aborel
