OOC

Looks like I'll be switching over to the new URL after all, due to a few issues involving my poor memory and a few other oopses.

The new url is going to be here, and the new tag should be staccatoandfriends, just so you know.

It's a bit of an inconvienence, and I'm sorry... but at the very least, all you gotta do is follow the new thingy. Still fixing it up, so any RP posts will be delayed. Most of what's left is following everyone, though.

showing up late for a date    

    {{♫ ♪}} So she wasn’t great at time-keeping.

Her hooves beat against the ground as she ran through the streets of Ponyville, needing to reach the restaurant as quickly as she could. She couldn’t believe just how late she actually was. She got totally distracted in party planning, and lost track of the time.

Finally stumbling to a stop, kicking her hooves up, she trotted inside the building and glanced around, hoping that she wasn’t too late.

[partyponypinkiepie]

    {{♫ ♪}} Pinkie considered that too, looking thoughtful. “Hmmmm.. Weeeell.. I’ve always wanted to try a saxophone.. OOH! Or a MARIMBA!” Pinkie grinned slightly. “I think those’d be fun!”  

"I do know! Ooh, it’s be SO much fun if you moved here! We could hang out, and have fun and there’d be parties and eeee!" She giggled, delighted at the mere thought. "It’d be AWESOME!"

[staccato-lyric]

It sounded like she was even more excited about the idea than he was. Staccato was going to have to check out the town's housing opportunities before long. It would have to wait until after her birthday, at least. He had some serious street music to play to get an instrument for a birthday present! Tomorrow.

"It does sound like a lot of fun!" He grinned as pasta suddenly appeared before both of them. "Oh hay, it's dinner time!~ Thanks!"

The stealthy ninjawaiter had supplied the pasta they had ordered with a nod. "You're welcome sir and madame. Is there anything else I can get for you?"

"I'm good!" Staccato let the waiter take care of Pinkie while he started cutting up the pasta, which was still steaming hot.

    {{♫ ♪}} Ponyacci smiled, shaking his head in amusement at Staccato, before he gestured to Pinkie with a hoof. “Nice to meet you, too. Well, there wouldn’t be a clown school if it wasn’t for Pinkie, here.” He admitted. “She’s quite brilliant.”

"Aww, shucks!" Pinkie giggled. "I only noticed the obvious! You already taught me so much, it just made SENSE that you should be a teacher! Ooh! How’s it going?" She asked, eagerly, and he beamed at her.

"Fantastic! We have new students all of the time, and I get to keep on being funny. It’s more than I ever hoped for." He said, and Pinkie was practically glowing.

"YIPPEEE~! I knew it’d be a success!" 

[staccato-lyric]

"She's a quick one, alright..." Staccato agreed. He got the feeling that she could solve some of the crazy puzzles in some of the ruins he's been in a lot faster than he could. Not that he was usually stumped for long, but it was just a feeling.

"Good to hear it's all working out, the world could use a little more laughter!" Staccato grinned. Not that Equestria was in bad shape, but there was always room for a little more cheer. "Say, while we're here... got any tips for a musician that plays bard? Some of my stories and songs can be a little silly, but I was hoping to take it up a notch."

    {{♫ ♪}} “Instruments?” Pinkie tapped her chin with her hoof thoughtfully. “Weeeell.. there’s the trombone, the harmonica, the drums, bongos, maracas, guitar, tambourine, trumpet, the triangle.. ooh! I’ve gotten into the organ lately!” She grinned. “I can play a one-pony band!”

"What? Really?!" Pinkie’s eyes widened slightly. "You’re considering moving here?" A squeal broke out of her, and her eyes were practically shining. "THAT’S AMAZING!" 

[staccato-lyric]

"Wow... That's a lot of instruments... are um... are there any you're missing that you would like to try or something?" It sounded like Pinkie knew more instruments than he did, which was something of a shock. Staccato had practiced with quite a few himself, but not nearly as varied as her collection.

Her response to his possibly considering maybe moving was a definite surprise. "Well... what can I say? It's just the right size, it's busier than you'd think... everypony's so nice here, and... well, I'd still be visiting Canterlot a lot, but I dunno. It just feels right here. Home-y I guess?"

Character Development Meme, day 29

29.) How does your character smell? Do they wear perfume or cologne?

As much as I'd love to say he smells like roses, he's a pony that often travels away from civilization. He stays clean as best he can, and he may use a little cologne or deodorant when he's doing stuff in town often, but a great deal of the time he smells just like... a pony. That walks a lot. And gets in tense situations.

"Are you her mother?" Fluttershy asked softly, shying up again. Again, another new pony.

[staccato-lyric]

"A bird, eh? That'll work... not bad." The mare turned to face Fluttershy. This one sounded as shy as Vapor. "Yup, that's my little princess. Couldn't you see the resemblance?"

She paused for a moment, but then laughed. "I'm just kidding you... she got my wings, but not my looks. Name's Canny, nice to meet ya!"

    {{ ☼ }} “That would be a good idea,” Celestia agreed with a smile, before she moved from the opening, and began to head towards the castle. “There should be time before I have to lower the sun.” She glanced up to the sky once more, before she began to ascend the stairs leading towards the castle. 

[staccato-lyric]

Staccato followed along happily, still not quite believing that he had spent most of the day with Princess Celestia herself. "Wow... I think that was the most fun I've had in the city since my parents used to still throw me big birthday parties! Even counting the part where I lost a fight to a hedge."

Even as he tried to remember more about the area the old fort had been in, he was all but bouncing on his hooves. "If I'da known the castle was this much fun, I would have poked around in it ages ago!~"

[children-of-the-elements-deacti]

"It’s a female, and you really can. If you need any help, just get Starfire and she’ll get me, or you could just come directly if needed." She smiled, glad she was able to help the filly.

[staccato-lyric]

"Okay, I will!" The filly smiled up at Fluttershy.

"Make your decision, then?" Canny dropped out of the sky silently, landing next to her daughter. The filly jumped slightly, but showed off her new feathered friend.

"This one!"

[children-of-the-elements-deacti]

[children-of-the-elements-deacti]

The trogon hopped onto her hoof, twittering. “No, not really. They preen themselves, and I can supply a birdbath and a cage. Don’t worry about it flying off, they’re very loyal to their owners.”

[staccato-lyric]

She gasped slightly, barely containing an excited squeak. "H-Hi there..." Vapor looked to Fluttershy again, "I think he's perfect! Or... she?" It was colorful enough to be a he, but she hadn't really read on birds much. "Can I really keep it?"

[children-of-the-elements-deacti]

[children-of-the-elements-deacti]

"That, is a Trogon. It lives in the ar-neigh-zona area and feeds on insects and fruit." She states softly, petting it softly. It chirped softly, nuzzling into her hoof.

[staccato-lyric]

The filly got a closer look. "It's so pretty... Is it... um... hard to take care of?" She put a hoof out to it, not really sure what to do.

[partyponypinkiepie]

    {{♫ ♪}} Pinkie brightened up immediately. “Ooh, would you? I mean, you don’t have to! Last year it was just me and the girls, but they threw a party for me because I forgot all about it!” She giggled. “I don’t usually plan my own birthday parties.. I think I forget because when I was a filly, we never really celebrated ‘em!”

"Isn’t it just? I love it here! It’s so super duper busy but at the same time, small enough that you can know everypony in it!" 

[staccato-lyric]

"Are you kidding? How could I miss it! I mean, you threw a party for me, and all I did was mosey into town. And it's your birthday! Hey, speaking of, are there any instruments you're partial to?" Staccato already was getting ideas for a gift, and by Celestia he meant to make it good! There were only a few friends that he would call 'close', and Pinkie was rapidly becoming one.

"It's almost perfect, really! In fact, it's really getting tempting to leave Canterlot for it..."

    {{♫ ♪}} “That’s why we’re here!” Pinkie pointed out with a giggle. “If you were a perfect clown, ya wouldn’t need to go to a clown school!” She grinned, before she bounced inside after him with a quick and happy: “Thanks!” At the door being held open for her.

She glanced around, before she grinned, and suddenly began waving enthusiastically, giggling madly.

"PONYACCI~ PONYACCI~!" She sang, excited, and an elderly stallion, coloured orange, looked up, surprised, before a smile crossed his face, and he made his way over towards her.

"Miss Pie!" He chuckled. "What a delightful surprise! Who’s your friend?" He asked, turning to Staccato.

"This is Staccato Lyric! Weeeee’re traveling buddies!" 

[staccato-lyric]

Staccato followed her without hesitation, looking around once inside. If he had thought it would take some time to find her idol, he was apparently mistaken.

She wasn't joking about knowing him, either. He didn't take a moment to get her name, even at his age! And he was already addressing Staccato, too.

"That's me!~ I was out for a bit of a wander, and I found my new friend Pinkie headed the same way... so here we are!~" He stuck a hoof to his chin for a moment, thoughtful. "Not that I knew there was a clown school out here, honestly... that was all Pinkie. Nice to meet you, though!~"

[children-of-the-elements-deacti]

[children-of-the-elements-deacti]

"The ones that aren’t so tiny eat seeds and stuff like that." She answers. She scanned the line, making sure all of her birds were there.

[staccato-lyric]

Vapor stopped by a brightly colored trogon, looking over the exotic seeming bird. "W-what about this one? Is it... nice?"

[partyponypinkiepie]

{{ Open:: On the Open Road }}

[partyponypinkiepie]

    {{♫ ♪}} Pinkie let out a loud, delighted laugh as Staccato began to run, and she chased along after him, giggling and bouncing and leaping through the air, spinning happily. She was glad once more, that she hadn’t had to come alone, and that she had a friend by her side. That was the most important thing to her, after all.

"Absopositively!" She agreed, lifting her hind legs up as she began to walk on her front hooves, tongue poking out in concentration. She rolled forward, back hooves hitting the dirt before she pulled herself up again, becoming right-side up.

It didn’t take them long to reach the school, and she laughed. “It looks ten times BETTER than I even remember it being!” She admitted, hopping up and down once again. 

[staccato-lyric]

The chain of somersaults ended a bit early, and though he managed not to fall over, it took a minute to stop the world from spinning. "Whew... guess I'm not a perfect clown yet!"

When he looked up, they were already there. "It looks even bigger up close! Ooooh, I can't wait any longer!" He reached for the door and threw it open, only then realizing he should probably hold it open for Pinkie. He twisted around the door to keep it open for her.

"C'monc'mon, let's goooo.~" The grin that split his face was quite possibly the biggest he could give. Staccato couldn't help it if he was excited!
