Charlie laughed, "No.. Parties with Pinkie Pie and Vinyl Scratch get wild." Then quoted Red "It's a fun gig, get to meet a lot of new ponies."
As Blackwing runs toward her, Firecracker forgets what she heard and runs along with him laughing all the way to the coffee shop. She shoves the door open immediately and is assaulted by the scent of pure hyperness entering her lungs. "Eeeheehee!" Firecracker almost creepily giggles to herself while grabbing Blackwing's hoof and pulling him inside. "Sooooo Blackwing, whatcha getting?"
Blackwing smiled and laughed along with her, which felt odd, being as he was almost never as giddy as he was right now. Attempting to keep his cool, he leaned against the nearby wall. "You really like coffee, dont you?" He asked, laughing lightly. "Ill just take a mocha with extra Anarchy ." Again, these words sounded like they were almost being forced out of him, slapping his hooves over his mouth, he quickly stepped outside. Making sure nopony was there, he reached under his wing..... to grab nothing but air. He extended his left wing fully, craning his head to make sure he wasent going any more insane that he already was. His eyes went wide as he realized the vial was gone. How could I have been so STUPID, its not here, and now im with her..... I cant just leave.... But if I dont.... Oh Celestia. You could always just kill the mare. SHUT UP! He thought to himself, freaking out that he was now having an argument with.... himself.
Firecracker frowns as Blackwing steps back out the door. Oh please no, don't be some awkward shut-in who can't handle being around a girl without having a meltdown... "Blackwing, get your ass in here right now or I'm leaving." She says as she stomps her hoof on the floor getting the attention of a few ponies in the coffee shop.
Ferrarity giggled at Charlie's response. "IIII don't think I've ever had a party with them, but trust me, these parties can get out of control if you're not careful Charlie." She then tapped a hoof on her chin, looking up in though at Red's question. "Hmm, I'd say some where around night, which will be a few hours by my guess as it's still the afternoon."
(I'm mobile, so any text that starts "G:...." Is green next.)
Blackwing paused for a moment, hearing Firecrackers demand. He swallowed hard, not sure what would happen if he stayed.... But heck, a mare was demanding his attention, he wasent about to pass this up. So against ALL better judgment, he turned around and headed back into the coffee shop. As he passed by his reflection in the window, he noticed a small, dark green dot in his pupil. [I]Oh dear.... Are you really going to throw out your better judgment for the sake of a MARE? G: Yes.[I/] he thought, walking back through the coffee shops doors.
"So ther's the what and when..." Red cocked her head. "But where is the where?" Red asked, before laughing at her little joke.
"Well what should we do till then? I still have yet to get my coffee." Charlie glanced back out the window.
Silver sat there listening to the two mares banter back and forth about their 'partying experience.' He merely shook his head at their ideas, remembering how smashed he got the night before, and realizing there was still a slight, lingering headache. "You two can go party all you want... I had my fill last night." He heard Charilie's whining about the coffee and chuckled, "Heh, I bet that they're too busy flirting to really remember what you wanted..... we could always just go there ourselves."
Red turned to Charlie "Well, thinking about it, I could always practice my drums. I don't know about you, though. If you want, you could always come hang with me. My roomie disappeared for some reason."
Red then responded to Silver "Who's flirting? I'd say it's Peeps and Meg, but I recognize their voices, and those are NOT them. Is there more people I've not met yet? Wow. I need to get around here more..."
Getting more than a little annoyed at Blackwing, Firecracker steps into the line remembering that her roommate is waiting for them. Why do I always end up going places with weirdos? She thinks to herself before being interrupted by a barista asking "What can I get for you?" Firecracker notices that the mare's nametag reads "Starbuck" as she says, "I would like a frapp-No better yet, just give me the strongest cup of coffee you have, black, with a double shot of espresso along with a caramel mocha with extra whipped cream for my friend back home." Firecracker immediately begins digging out bits from her wallet while the surprised barista looks back and forth from her to the fidgeting Blackwing and after taking Firecracker's bits, asks what he would like.
Charlie thought for a sec, "lets go get coffee then we can go to the music theater and e can play there? I have most of my instruments there anyways." He smiled thinking of her massive collection of music instruments from electric guitars to the simple classic piano.
Looking more then astonished at the mares taste in coffee, Blackwing walked closer to the counter, fighting to maintain control of his body, which felt as though it wanted to sprint in every direction at once. This caused his body to appear as though he was twitching, that something might just be plain wrong with him. "Ill just take a m-mocha, no whipped Cream." He said as attempted to smile at the Barista. He pulls out a bag of bits and scooped out his share, his hoof shaking as he did so. Get a hold of yourself damn it! He thought to himself as he set the bits down on the counter. He turned to Firecracker, holding out a hoof-full of bits. "I said I would pay for you and Charlie."
Keeping all of her hooves firmly on the floor, Firecracker answers "It's all right, she's my roommate. Also, are you sure you're not still feeling something from the explosion? Do you need to go the hospital?" Seriously, what the hell is with this guy? she thinks to herself. First he blows himself up and he seems fine but then when you actually get near him, he goes all derpshit on you and now he can't take the hint that you're annoyed... Stupid stupid stupid colts... Getting herself back to reality, Firecracker repeats, "Seriously Blackwing, I've got this one."
"Ya, sure we can... we'll probably run into both of them on the way there..." Silver said, then realized that Red hadn't met Firecracker, and turned to explain his reasoning
"Blackie and Fireracker, the one who caused the explosion and the mare who saved him from it... I think Fire is Charlie's roommate right?"
He shoved the bits back into his bag, a slightly hurt look crossing his face. He was running out of options, and FAST. Using every ounce of willpower he had, he put the bit bag away, stopping the choppy motions he was making before back to their normal state. "Yeah, im fine. Probably just something from the beautiful explosion." He said, lying through his teeth, but managing to get more of a control on his body. He put on his best *Im not going metaly insane face* that he possibly could, and took his coffee off the counter. "Lets bounce" He said, holding open the door. All of this was causing an immense amount of mental strain, and he felt as though he might pass out, but at least it was working.
Charlie knodded and started to trot out happily, "oh ya Firecracker is my roomie!" she yelled behind her as she left the building. She trotted happily along but came to a walk to let the others catch up.
"Oh, they seem like my kinda crowd, think they can send some pyro's my way for one of my concerts?" She asked, before noticing that Charlie has already left. "Oi, get over here! I'm the one who's usually rushing!" Red joked, before quickly following along. Red wasn't actually from Trottingham, but she liked saying things like "Oi", and other funny words from other languages.
Silver laughed as we watched both mares rush out, along with Red's little "Oi", and trotted after them, staying close behind them both, "Well.... I think Blackie used up all his chemicals that explode..." Silver thought for a moment, finally connecting two other cutie marks together, "Hey, Charlie. Have you met Arpeggio yet?"
"O... K..." Firecracker slowly says at Blackwing's last comment. "...Yeah Charlie is still waiting for us soooo, yeah we better get going." She heads out the door of the coffee shop not even bothering to check if Blackwing is still with her. Please, please, please just for once can I not end up with a normal colt? AAAARGH No Firecracker! Don't think like that! He's creepy as hell. Lost in thought, she absent-mindedly sips her drink wincing at the bitterness of it. Ugh, terribly amazing, just like this day... Well except for the amazing.
She continues silently walking back toward the dorm.
Blackwing walked calmly next to her in silence, wishing he could explain to her what the hell was going on, but knowing damn well that telling her that he was slowly slipping into a state of insanity might not go over very well. The only thing he could really do was go with it and try not to snap.... He shuddered a bit as he thought of what might happen if she was near him when he did.... It was then he realized that he needed to get away from everypony and fast. She already hated him, he could tell. What did he have to lose if he just flew off? The adornment of a mare whom you might never see again? I suppose death would keep things quite quiet though, if need be....
Firecracker continues sipping her painful drink in deep though. Firecracker, you're a strong mare and he's the first guy you met. Just because you almost died together does not mean that there's anything between you. Especially if he's this freaking awkward. She looks back at Blackwing for a moment and goes on thinking to herself. God damn it, he probably doesn't have very many friends... Ugh, poor guy-WAIT why am I feeling sorry for him? I think? She takes a particularly large drink of her coffee out of frustration and starts coughing from the bitterness.
"Oh!" Charlie cantered ahead and met up with Firecracker and Blackie, "Hey! Glad to see you two didn't run off with my mocha!" she giggled and politly took her drink from Blackie then took a sip, "Thank you!"
Itching to take off as fast as he could in the opposite direction, he was about to spring when he herd Fire start to cough up a storm. "Hey, you alright?" Blackwing asked, looking over at her as he hands Charlie the coffee. "I mean, it could be a shame if you were to choke and die." The speech was coming out almost naturally now, though there was something.... off about it. "I mean, you know.... it would be bad if that were to happen... and stuff." He said, trying to recover.
Immediately upon hearing Blackwing's comment, Firecracker angrily yells "What the hell is wrong with you? Can't you act somewhat normal without feeling like you're going to go all homicidal on me? Shaking her head sadly to calm herself down she says in a much quieter voice, "I'm sorry, but I'm gonna go head back alone and unpack my stuff." Turning to Charlie with a pleading look on her face she says, "Meet me back at the dorm sometime later today, okay?"
Stopping dead in his tracks, he opened his mouth as though he was about to say something. "Goodbye." He said, all of the pent up movement coming out in one powerful launch upward into the sky. Using his wings to propel himself, he was almost in a verticle climb. When he reached the higher altitudes, the cold air nipped at him, causing him to slow down. He eventually came to a stop. He looked over the campus for a few moments and started to dive in the direction of his room. When he neared it, he pulled up slightly to slow his fall. He dropped clumsily through his open window, hitting what remained of his bed and table. In a frenzy, he began looking high and low for that damn vial, thinking he must have lost it. While he was being dragged out. Youve really screwed up now Blackie..... He thought to himself, tearing what remained of his room apart.
Red finally catching up, looked confused, glaring into the sky where a black streak had flew up an to the dorm. "I heard shouting, what just happened?"
((Going to bed, terrible migrane. Don't pass me up too far, please.))
"Oh ok then bye Firecracker." Charlie waved goodbye sadly. She wanted go help her now but Charlie figured she would want some time to herself. She turned to Blackie, "What happened?" by time she asked Blackie was already up in the air way to high to hear her. "Oh ok.." She whispered sadly
Ughhh nooooooooo... Firecracker thinks to herself as she sees Blackwing head off in the exact direction she was planning on going. Honestly, she just wanted to be as far from the insane colt as possible. She turns back around and asks "Actually Charlie... Can I just go with you guys, wherever it is that you're going?"
"Oh ya we were just going to the music building, I wanted to show my interment collection." Charlie took a sip of her mocha and finished it off, then tossing it into a the nearby trash where she missed miserable, "Ah stupid aim." she grumbled with an accent.
"Oooo sounds fun!" The overdose of caffeine from her drink begins to kick in as she quickly and almost incomprehensibly says, "I actually have played classical guitar since I was 8 but after a weird series of events I ended up having to have my parents ship is to me but it's NOT HERE YET!" Pausing for a moment she continues, "So yes, I would love to be around instruments even though I will still be deprived of my musical love."
Charlie giggled, "Well then lets get you set up!" Charlie turned to Silver and Red, "You can go ahea get a coffee meet us at the MD when you can ok? Let's go Fire!" Charlie cantered ahead with excitment.
Silver frowned slightly as he watched the scene unfold, and took a few moments to consider his options. Hang out with these girls... or try and help out one of his best friends... not much choice there. He started to back up, towards where Blackie flew off to, "Iiiiiiiiii should probably go see if I can help him... friend and all... I'll see you all around.... I'm so sorry Firecracker..." When he finished he turned around and lazily flew back to the dorm, going inside and hearing the complete pandemonium from Blackie's room, which has been returned to normal now that the cleaner's were done.
"Wait how does know..." Firecracker says to herself as Silverwing flies off. "Oh damn it, I was right. There is something seriously wrong here and he knows it." Seeing Charlie's concerned look, Firecracker sighs and says "Look Charlie, I'm sorry that you had to see that. Umm, let's just say that stuff happened and well, I don't really know what to think of Blackwing. I don't know if he's genuinely interested or he feels like he owes me something after I saved his life. Either way to be honest, I think he has some serious problems that I don't want to get involved with."
Charlie faces forward again, "It's just like high school all over again.." she thought for a few seconds, "I gues the best thing you can really do is just stay clear for now, I don't mean like completly ignore him but maybe a few heys' in the hall." Charlie walked up the steps and opened the door then held it for Firecracker. "I'm probably not being much help. Maybe music will tell you what to do." she shrugged.
"Thanks Charlie" Firecracker says as she walks in the door "I just don't feel like there is anything I need to do about it. He's some pony I met today and nothing more. Anyway, can we just forget that this happened?"
Charlie led the way to the stage and pulled out a a pair of keys and unlocked a door, "Of course!" the door swung open and when Charlie turned on the light, Firecracker could only see instruments of all kind. Some stacked to the top and others in huge locked cases. "Any instrument in mind?"
Blackwing didn't hear Silver enter his room. He was searching progressively more franticly, turning over objects, lifting then up, turning them on their sides. Crawling across the floor, checking under the heavier furniture.
"Oh shit, where is it? Where the hell is it!" He yelled, still searching franticly.
Red walked past the open door of the music room, before backtracking and walking back. "There you are!" she exclaimed.
You two need to slow down a little..." Red commented, walking into the building.
Charlie waved from the stage, "Heyy! How was coffee?" Charlie pushed out the piano first then a acoustic guitar next. "Wanna play something? I have some drums if you want!"
