The City That Lives (IC, Steampunk/Pony/Anthro/Human)

Shudder obliged with the kiss, returning it with vigor. Shiv smiled pleasantly and wrapped his hooves around Concerto. Of course we can do this again. You are more amazing than you give yourself credit. he thought and waited for Concerto and Shudder to finish kissing before locking his own lips with Concerto's. He pulled away and smiled before kissing Concerto's nose. His hoof was draped across Concerto's chest and he allowed his head to rest against Concerto's head. Shudder chuckled and did the same on the other side with Concerto sandwched between them. "Of course Concerto, we can always make space for you." He said cheerfully and licked Concerto's cheek. Then Shudder sighed and slid off the bed, kissing Concerto's rump as he did so. "But we need to be going now. Come on Shiv." He said with a reluctant smile. Shiv looked up at Shudder and sighed before turning Concerto's head to look at him. He kissed Concerto one final time. Then he trotted off the bed and winked to Concerto. Shudder smiled cheerfully, "Remember, 20 sit ups 15 push ups, 30 jumping jacks. Add another one to each of those each day. We'll come around to assess your fitness again soon." He said with a chuckle.

Concerto

"I'll be sure to remember that. Have a great night, gentlecolts." Concerto said, softly, as he gave a quick yawn and laid his head down, letting himself drift off to sleep. His incredibly relaxed body, exhausted from a long day of hard work, fell asleep in a few quick moments. He lightly mumbled the two of their's names as he pleasantly dreamed about the three of them. His face held a light smile as he dreamed, his body twitching every now and again.

Shamrock raised an eyebrow at Pitch. Okay, yeah, but... look at those eyes. he thought, So, cold, and emotionless! It's just outright disturbing... It's inpony! Are you sure there's any love in that pony, at all? However, when Rouge kissed Pitch on the cheek, Shamrock noticed that the cold and emotionless stare vanish from the black unicorn's eyes forever... or at least for now. Interesting. thought the green alicorn, How peculiar for a kiss to warm the hearts of even the most coldhearted criminals. Shamrock, then wrote: "Forgive me, Mam. I have allowed my emotions to cloud my judgement. I see what you mean now." He showed it to Rouge. Or have you, Mam, allowed your emotions to cloud your judgement? Shamrock, involuntarily, thought in the back of his head.

Rouge read the note and smiled, "It's okay sir. In these days and ages emotion is sometimes all we have left." She said with a gentle smile. "In many ways Pitch changed my life just as much as I changed his." She said with a giggle. "Isn't that right honey?" She said and stroked Pitch's mane.

Pitch grinned, enjoying the stroking of his mane. "Yes, Roo." he said, "You have changed my life, so much. Thank you." He looked up at Shamrock, giving him a nod, and a smile. "It's alright, Sir." said Pitch, "I've been called a monster all my life... Perhaps, I am one."
Shamrock smiled slightly. No wonder, Pitch was such a ruthless killer. he thought, He must be delusional. Perhaps something traumatic happened to him, as a foal, that messed up his mental integrity. Shamrock wrote in his notebook: "You're only a monster, if you believe you're one. You are what you believe to be." Perhaps, Pitch should see a psychologist. thought Shamrock.
Pitch read the note, and gave a slight nod. However, he still saw himself, as a monster. For the black unicorn still had little to no remorse for his murderous actions, and would have no probelm, with doing them again. Pitch then looked up at Roo. "Shall we go inside, Roo?" he asked.

Roo giggled, "Definitely. It was nice meeting you Shamrock, if a little more discussive than most introductions, but certainly a pleasure." She said with a pleasant smile and led Pitch inside. "Oh Shamrock, out of curiosity, are you the only Alicorn in your family or are there others?"

Shamrock smiled at Roo's question, as they entered Mac's house and wrote in his notebook: "My family are all alicorns. We're not immortal, like the princesses, though. I'm still in my twenties; twenty-five, to be exact, and I, like my family, have the same lifespan, as any other pony." Shamrock then decided to add: "Which is good. Besides, who would want to live forever?"

Shamrock smiled at Roo's question, as they entered Mac's house and wrote in his notebook: "My family are all alicorns. We're not really immortal, like the princesses, though. I'm still in my twenties; twenty-five, to be exact, and we have the same lifespan, as any other pony." Shamrock then decided to add: "Which is good. Besides, who would want to live forever?"

Roo had been looking at him thoughtfully, with her somehow still perfectly manicured claw stroking her chin. She shook her head as if coming out of a dream and smiled, "Of course. That would be dreadfully boring no doubt." She said with a giggle. She walked inside with her mind seeming distracted by something. "What do you think Pitchy?" She asked curiously.

Pitch thought about it long and hard. At first, he thought that life was stupid and pointless; a disease that could only be cured by death. Pitch, at first, even saw his own life, as stupid, and pointless, and sought to take it, once he has the found the way to eradicate all life on the planet, and used it to that end. That was, until he was kissed by Roo, and his outlook on life was changed forever. Still, the idea to live forever, didn't sound very appealing to the black unicorn. However, he looked up at Roo, smiling, and said, "As long that I'm with you, forever, immortality, doesn't sound, too bad."

Roo giggled and tapped Pitch's nose with her claw, "For an ex mass murderer you can be so sweet when you want to Pitchy Pie." She said with a smile and kissed his cheek. "But I'm inclined to agree with you." She said and mumbled something unintelligible under her breath. "Now, why did we come here again? Oh yes, you haven't seen a blue pegasus or a black fox around have you Shamrock?" She asked with a warm smile.

Concerto

Concerto woke up relaxedly, with a tired yawn. Ge groaned slightly as he forced himself out of bed and onto his hooves. He stretched his back, which made a sharp popping sound. Well, last night was certainly interesting. Two new friends, a new exercise schedule, and...Oh, buck, that's right...We did that, didn't we... Concerto thought, the soreness in his flank and the salty taste in his mouth serving as a reminder of the previous night. "Well, so much for me ever getting Mac to want to date me...Ugh, buck my life!" Concerto exclaimed, depressingly, suddenly feeling like crying. A great stallion like Mac would never want a cheap whore like me...Whatever was I thinking?! Concerto thought, a few tears rolling down his cheeks, feeling a depressing mix of regret and shame over last night. "Oh, well...No reason to sit around moping...I might as well clean myself up and head down to see the others..." Concerto said aloud, forlornly, as he trotted into his bathroom and took a hot shower.

He downed a mug of hot coffee, brushed his disheveled mane, put on his bow tie, and trotted down to Soliloquy and Enjambment. He suppressed the urge to cry and put on his typical poker face as he walked up to the door of the building and knocked a few times. "It's Concerto, and the cogs are in place." He said, hiding his despair, as he waited for somepony to open the door for him.

Shamrock pondered on it for a moment. He smiled, nodded, and wrote: "I didn't see a black fox, anywhere. However, I did see a blue pegasus, named Mac, and a human named Pavel." The green alicorn, then showed it to Rouge, and Pitch.
Pitch read the note, and looked up at Roo. "Do you think they need us here?" he asked, "Silver isn't here, so I don't see why they should. Want to leave?"

He said, hiding his despair, as he waited for somepony to open the door for him.

Mac roused himself drowsily. He heard the knock and some mumbling and immediately felt in a foul mood. His injuries forced him to sleep oddly and his erratic sleep had left him in a horrid mood. He stood up irritably and stormed out of his room, kicking his bedroom door open with one hoof. He walked purposefully to the door and passed Pitch, Rouge and Shamrock. Rouge looked at him cheerfully, "Oh Mac we-" she was cut off as he shoved an apple into her mouth and muttered irritably, "Shut it!" Before limping his way to the door and opening it hastily. "Fer the love of all things made of flesh in this entire city does nopony believe in lettin' me rest fer ONE BUCKIN' DAY?! I've been blown up, punched, cut, burnt, stabbed, clipped and my wings have been broken! I'm currently tryin' ta fathom how the hell I'm gonna decide between two special ponies in my life and its buckin' impossible when I've got a full night of sleep but NOW ye show up knockin' at me door and mutterin' somethin' and I'm just supposed ta open the door with a smile and deal with it?!" He yelled angrily, drawing a stare from Rouge. As he panted angrily and calmed down he looked up at the door and saw who it was. His expression changed to one of dread and then regret, "Con-Concerto . . . I-I didn't mean ta yell at ye." He said apologetically. "I didn't know ye were . . . Ah fer the love of cogs." He said and beat his head against the wall. "I'm a right idiot." He muttered softly. "I'm sorry Concerto." He said even softer.

Pavel Finished making eggs in macs house saw more people coming in. He said to them in his russian accent," Hello eveybody". Then took a bite of his eggs they where a little bland so he ransacked macs kitchen looking for atleast salt. He found some salt and a tiny bit of pepper he added the ingedients to his eggs and sat down to eat whisky glass in hand.

[Hentaline]

I threw my hands up to protest, still quite amused by her anger.
"Sorry Spec, but if you get rid of me, who will do your dirty work? I'm one of the best at what I do for for Christ's sake, just give me their locations and inform me incase they moved to a different location, I'll find them, besides, I got my…. crew to back me up." I said, pointing to Wilson and Razor.
There was silence…
"Let's just go." Wilson said.
"Sure." I said, leaving.

Shamrock was quite shocked by Mac's sudden outburst. He was going to write: "How rude." but, when the pony, Concerto, came through the door, and Mac's temper died down, Shamrock thought better of it. So, he simply wrote: "Well, it's getting late. Now, that I found this place, I know where to go tomorrow. So, I'll just finish my Veggieburger, and leave for the night. Pleasure meeting you all." Shamrock then tore the page out, and gave it to Pitch, before writing another note: "Mac, I'm leaving soon. Thank you, for the veggieburger, and tell Pavel, that I said 'Goodbye." Shamrock then tore the page out, and handed it to Mac, before going down stairs, to grab his burger, and leave.
Pitch took the note with his magic, and read the note. He looked up at Shamrock, as he left. "Pleasure to meet you, sir." he said. Pitch then looked up at the apple in Roo's mouth. "Are you going to eat that?" he asked.

Roo rolled her eyes and took a bite out of the apple. She offered the rest to Pitch with a giggle as she crunched up the fruit. "I'll eat it if you won't. Apples are good for you." She said with a smile. She sighed and seemed to fall back into deep thought while she munched on the piece she had bitten off. She murmured something to herself and then shook her head snapping back to reality. "To answer your question from before I was so rudely fed, Silver isn't the leader. We could always do something that showed a little initiative if you want." She said with a smile.

Pitch finished swallowing his bite of apple, and gave Roo a kiss on the cheek. "This apple taste good." he said, cheerfully, "Apples are good for you."
Meanwhile, Shamrock returned to the room, where he was sitting, he saw Pavel, and decided to say, goodbye, himself. Shamrock wrote: "It's getting late, and I'm leaving Pavel. Nice meeting you. Guess I'll be seeing you tomorrow?" Shamrock gave Pavel the note, before taking his unfinished burger, with intention to finish it, on the way home.

Pavel looked at shamrock and said in respnse of the note," See you later and yes you might see me tommorow since i am preety much always here when i am not on a mission". pavel then finished his eggs grabbed his glass of whisky and sat down on one of macs chairs near a fire place and took a few sips as he watched the fire.

Concerto

Concerto couldn't help but want to cry when his love yelled angrily at him. I deserve it, too...I'm a terrible pony who goes to bed with other stallions the same night I meet them... He thought, Mac's yelling having deeply hurt him. "It's fine, Mac...I deserve all the hate and yelling in the world..." Concerto said, forlornly, a single tear rolling down his cheek. "I just wanted to come by and see if there was anything I could help with..." He continued, sadly, looking down at the floor, unable to look his love in the eye.

Mac looked at Concerto in shock and dismay. "What d'ye mean? Ye don't deserve any hate. And ye can help by cheerin' up." He said and pulled Concerto into a tight hug. "I'm sorry I yelled, really Concerto, I never want ta see ye down." He said and hugged him tightly. Mac loosened his hug and kissed Concerto's lips lightly. "Please, what's wrong?" He asked lovingly.

Pitch smiled, and took the apple from Roo with his magic. "Alright." he said, "It's getting late, though. So, we shouldn't stay long. Besides, Shamrock appears to be getting ready to leave."

Concerto

"Yes, I do; I'm a terrible pony and I don't deserve to have you..." Concerto said, sorrowfully, openly crying. "I...I...I let Shudder and Shiv buck me...I'm a cheap whore, and I don't deserve to have you care about me..." He choked out, sobbing. "P-please forgive me, Mac..." He begged, sincerely. Now he's going to hate me forever, and he'll never love me, and tell me he never wants to see me again... Concerto thought, worried that Mac would hate him over his mistake.

Mac looked at Concerto in shook and surprise at first, something which seemed to be happening regularly. Then a warm smile spread across his face and he nuzzled Concerto affectionately. "Concerto, stop it. I'm not some god who can rival Celestia herself, I'm not perfect. In fact I'm further from it than ye." He said and sat down with Concerto in his strong muscular arms. He hugged Concerto close and kissed his cheek, "If ye think I'm going ta hold it against ye because those two took advantage of ye? They almost got me when they joined. The only reason they didn't was because I wasn't a coltcuddler then." He said and kissed Concerto's nose. "Besides, if ye think I'm so perfect then don't I deserve ye? Didn't think of it that way did ye?"

Concerto

Concerto couldn't help but want to cry when his love yelled angrily at him. I deserve it, too...I'm a terrible pony who goes to bed with other stallions the same night I meet them... He thought, Mac's yelling having deeply hurt him. "It's fine, Mac...I deserve all the hate and yelling in the world..." Concerto said, forlornly, a single tear rolling down his cheek. "I just wanted to come by and see if there was anything I could help with..." He continued, sadly, looking down at the floor, unable to look his love in the eye.

Mac looked at Concerto in shock and dismay. "What d'ye mean? Ye don't deserve any hate. And ye can help by cheerin' up." He said and pulled Concerto into a tight hug. "I'm sorry I yelled, really Concerto, I never want ta see ye down." He said and hugged him tightly. Mac loosened his hug and kissed Concerto's lips lightly. "Please, what's wrong?" He asked lovingly.

Pitch smiled, and took the apple from Roo with his magic. "Alright." he said, "It's getting late, though. So, we shouldn't stay long. Besides, Shamrock appears to be getting ready to leave." Pitch finished swallowing his bite of apple, and gave Roo a kiss on the cheek. "This apple taste good." he said, cheerfully, "Apples are good for you."
Meanwhile, Shamrock returned to the room, where he was sitting, he saw Pavel, and decided to say, goodbye, himself. Shamrock wrote: "It's getting late, and I'm leaving Pavel. Nice meeting you. Guess I'll be seeing you tomorrow?" Shamrock gave Pavel the note, before taking his unfinished burger, with intention to finish it, on the way home.

Roo giggled and kissed his cheek as well. She took a bite of the apple while he held it and smiled. "Then I better have some more. Besides, you're good for me too." She said with a giggle.

Pitch himself giggled, and returned the kiss, even though there was still some apple in his mouth. After swallowing, Pitch Black took another bite, before handing it to Roo. "Here," he said, "Have some more."
Meanwhile, Shamrock found that it was time to leave. He wrapped his burger in a foil, and placed it in a bag, tied to his flank. The green alicorn headed to the door, only to see Concerto, and Mac, having an intimate moment. Oops thought Shamrock, feeling a bit embarrassed, I hope that I didn't almost barge in on something private... So, Mac's gay, I guess. Not that I mind homosexuality, unlike my parents, who find the lifestyle intolerable. I just don't understand what's wrong about it. Shamrock then noticed on the floor, the note he gave to Mac. Hmmm... Guess that mac forgot to read this. I'll try another attempt at it. Shamrock lifted the note of the floor with his magic, and crossed out the part about saying goodbye to Pavel, since that he has already did that. Then the green alicorn tapped on Mac's shoulder, with the note.

Concerto

Concerto smiled and wiped the tears from his eyes. "Thank you, Mac. I thought for sure you would hate me forever...Thank you, for forgiving me." Concerto said, softly, wrapping his hooves around Mac in a gentle hug. Oh, dear Luna, thank you, a million and one times over, thank you... Concerto thought, happily, his mood improved greatly from Mac's reassurance. He recoiled a bit and pulled back from Mac when he saw the green alicorn trying to get Mac's attention, his face reddening ever-so slightly from embarrassment as he stood up on his hooves.

Mac paused and read the note and chuckled, "Oh, sorry Sham, well it's great ta have met ye and its great ta have ye on board. See ye tamorrow then." He said with a chuckle as he allowed Shamrock to leave. Mac glanced to Concerto with a guilty look on his face. He sighed and shook his head, "Mac could I speak ta ye fer a moment?" He said and led Mac to the table he sat down and looked at Concerto with a pained look. "Mac, I've. . . I've got a confession. . . I . . . Yer not the only pony I've been giving my affections." He said and sighed, resting his head in his hooves. He looked up at Concerto tiredly, "Grace . . . I uh . . . I've shared romantic moment with Grace." He said guiltily.

Concerto

Oh...Well...I can't say crap about him being with other ponies after what I've done... Concerto thought, keeping a blank expression. "Mac, if you can forgive me for having sex with Shiv and Shudder, I sure as Tartarus can forgive you for whatever you've been doing with Grace." He said, lovingly, looking into Mac's eyes. He looked deep into Mac's eyes, giving a warm smile, before putting his lips on Mac's, putting his hooves around his neck and embracing him in a deep and loving kiss. I'll always love you, Mac, no matter what you do. He thought, cheerfully, as he kissed his love.
