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

[Das Metro]

Oddity nodded, and looked at the ground. He was pretty fed up with today. The loss of an eye still left him shaken... The image of his morphed eye still fresh in his head. "Okay... But it's cool if I open it tomorrow then... Shimmer, can you remind me sweetheart?"

Grace had finally succumbed to her own anger at the day and shrugged. "Fine. Whatever. So long as you don't do it publicly, honestly: I figure a crowd surrounding you and watching you getting blown up, potentially causing others the same harm, is worse than doing it alone. But just..." She sighed, placing her hoof on his shoulder again. "Just please, please... do it somewhere where we can hear what's going on." She whispered. "At least just so we can rush to you should anything happen..."

"Yeah of course. I learnt my lesson about doing reckless stuff like this alone," he said matter-of-factly, "One time, I was practicing my dancing by myself, and I fell off the pole, broke me neck. I was paralyzed for like a month, and it was around like, I dunno, maybe fives hours before anyone found me." Oddity nodded solemnly. That had been really hard to explain. Well, nlt really, it was as easy as saying, 'I was practicing my foreplay doc!" but most ponies just didn't understand.

"Heh heh heh... heh heh heh..." Grace pawed the ground a little and nodded. "Then fine..." She let out a soft sigh. "I'm quite tired of facing this bullshit now, I honestly just wish for something to go right today, so... yeah." She sighed once again as she trotted back to Blink. "So... I guess we should move off now." She said this to Blink, her whole face turned to her as an eye twitched slightly towards him. She slowly pulled Blink off the ground and onto her back before placing her hooves on her rollerblades. As she turned to face the street, she turned her head around to face Oddity. "Oh, um... one more thing: Do you know of where an orange anthropony might be? She's a part of this rebellion."

Oddity shook his head, "Sorry, I haven't. I don't see much nowadays!" He giggled at his joke, gesturing to his eyepatch, though it slowly faded away and he sighed sadly. Oddity's ears drooped again, thinking about his removed eye.

She laughed weakly at this and eventually skated back towards him with a sigh, patting him on the shoulder with her leg. "Hey..." She whispered. "Just try not to put your mind on it... today's not been the best for anyone of us: The important thing now is to try and recover from it and move on..." She sighed, giving him the note that had been pasted there before. "I've read and memorised the address, as has Blink for the former, so I figure you may need it." She saluted him slightly before rolling towards Shimmer, her eyes scanning the two to make sure they hadn't opened their boxes yet.

[Das Metro]

For Opium
While Opium searched the room a human female in a tight fitting pink body glove with matching bunny ears and a cotton tail entered behind him with a wooden box. She flashed him a seductive smile and placed it down in front of him before kissing him and leaving.

Opium needed to remind himself to wash his face with sulfuric acid when he got home to one of his safehouses. No doubt that lady's mouth had been in some unsightly places. Opium glared at the box and raised an eyebrow. It must be from Spectre... More money perhaps? Maybe some tips... Opium carefully opened the box...

[Pinki3 Pon-3]

Mac
Mac looked at Shining sadly, "Aw, I was looking forward ta opening it." He said and sat down, accidentally on Concerto's box. The shell cracked and splintered causing Mac to wince and gingerly stand up. He looked around in surprise, "We're not blown ta hell so . . . What gives." He said as he turned around. Inside the splintered box was a book that seemed to be unscathed but clearly ancient. He cleared the rubble off of it with a cautious hoof. In neat, cursive hoofwriting stood,

Cello Compositions
Property of Octavia

The book was clearly very old and worn but inside it was filled with dozens of musical scores. Mac pushed it towards Concerto with a smile. "Not sure if ye wanna burn it but that sure ain't explosive." He said with a chuckle.

Blink/Shimmer
Blink looked up at Grace from the box she had already opened with a sad expression. "Sowwi." She said and closed the box with her name on it. "Can't I keep the chocolate eggs? They look nice." She said with a sad frown. Shimmer looked at her in surprise. "What? Chocolate eggs? That's odd isn't it?" She said and looked to the box with her name on it. "Well, chocolate eggs are hardly malicious, what do you think's up with these boxes?" She asked curiously. Blink squealed suddenly in delight, her mouth was ringed with chocolate. "THEY'RE SOOO TASTY!" She said cheerfully.

Opium's Box
Inside Opium's box was an ornate dagger which had been custom crafted to fit his hoof. It clipped on around the hard end of the hoof and slid back so he could walk, deploying forward at the flex of a hoof. When retracted the dagger and its mount looked like an elegant hoofguard, worn by the more affluent of ponies. Inside the box, behind that one was a matching bracelet which also had a similar dagger.

"THEY'RE SOOO TASTY!" She said cheerfully.

Grace laughed heartily at the contents of the box, scratching her chin in surprise. "This IS quite weird, isn't it? I don't-" Her eyes shot open as she gawked. "...maybe it's poisonous." She whispered. "That, or it's meant to lull us into a sense of complacency of sorts." She punched her hoof onto another as she wobbly supported herself in spite of the sudden imbalance. "Yes... that's gotta be it..." She raised her right hoof up before letting out a hoarse sigh. "That... or maybe we should just not touch the boxes. If nothing happens with Blink, then I guess we could all just treat it as such and eat them tomorrow..." She chuckled weakly and pulled Blink over onto her back, smiling to Shimmer. "I'll be going now." She turned to the others and smiled to them as well. "We're both going to find an orange anthropony who's part of our rebellion! Before we go, do any of you know where she is?!"

Concerto/Shining Diamond

Shining grumbled and threw her tinderboxes back onto her bookself. "Really? It's actually a legitimate gift? Bah, humbug..." She said in frustration. "Although, honestly, I still wouldn't recommend touching that thing. For all you know, it could be laced with poisons!" Shining said in an overprotective tone of voice. Concerto, however, wasn't paying attention to her. He was curiously flipping through the book, using a gentle hoof to the point where he barely touched the paper as he flipped through the pages. Shining groaned; Concerto didn't take his own safety very importantly, while Shining was incredibly cautious and overprotective of her younger brother. "Well, so much for the boxes being some sort of attempt to assassinate us." Concerto said, carrying the book over to his cello case (using his hooves, not using his mouth in case the book had some sort of poison or bacteria on it) and gently setting it down on top of it. "Honestly, I'd still be careful with the other boxes. This family has had too many tragic accidents for me to, in good faith, allow such risks. Our parents, gunned down on the streets. Our grandfather, poisoned by his marefriend who was an assassin hired by a rival company. Our great grandmother, pushed down the stairs by an assassin while she was out buying groceries." Shining said, melancholically. She didn't want anything to happen to Concerto, and felt the need to hinder him from doing potentially harmful things.

When retracted the dagger and its mount looked like an elegant hoofguard, worn by the more affluent of ponies. Inside the box, behind that one was a matching bracelet which also had a similar dagger.

Opium grinned manically at the odd dagger. This was something he had never come by before... Carefully, Opium clipped the dagger on around his right hoof and chuckled when it fit almost like a glove. He had a feeling killing Oddity and the fuck-around gang just got a little easier. Feeling pretty satisfied with himself, and extremely grateful to whoever his mysterious source was, Opium went back to eyeing that iron door...

[Pinki3 Pon-3]

Blink/Shimmer
Blink giggled and looked at Grace. "LOOKEE!" She said and held up a shiny new helmet along with shin guards for Grace. The foreshin guards seemed to be reinforced and had faint grooves in them which looked like they might do quite a bit of damage if she hit somepony with her knees, be they metal or normal. Blink shoved the helmet into Grace's face, "WEAR IT! ! ! NOWS!" She yelled gleefully. Shimmer lifted out a slim fitting body suit and raised an eyebrow while she smiled. "I think this present might make Oddsy's day too don't you think Oddsy?" She asked him with a shy giggle. She disappeared into the house and reappeared later with the suit on. It hugged her slim figure and accentuated her curves while the odd fabric adjusted to fit her perfectly, even squeezing her figure a little in certain places. She looked at herself and giggled, "I feel hot!" She said cheerfully. Blink giggled, "What does that mean sis?" She asked then got distracted with the last box. She pushed it to Oddity, "This one's yours." She said with a smile, "OPEN IT!"

Mac
Mac raised an eyebrow as he opened his. Inside was a pair of gunmetal grey metal hoof busters. He smiled broadly and sighed as he pushed the box marked Malthazar Asbertius Craven aside. "Wonder how they knew my name. . . " He said softly and chuckled. He picked up Shining's box and slid the lid open with one eye closed, half expecting it to go off as she said it would. Instead it housed an ornate book filled with empty lines, a journal of some kind, the back few pages were filled with catalogues of symptoms of illnesses, poisons and mild disorders along with treatments and shortcuts when certain equipment was missing. "Looks like they care more about keepin' ye alive than assassinatin' ye."

The Rogers residence door
There were five wooden boxes, each marked with a name. Jorgen, Trit, Pell, Sunbreaker, Clock.

Sunbreaker
Sunbreaker smiled sheepishly at Pell and nodded, "I guess I'm making life awkward for you again *sigh* sorry." She said and chuckled a little. "I guess I must have thrown things a little out of whack for you, just rolling up and acting all friendly." She said softly and shook her head. "I guess I should have been a little more sensitive, royalty or not but still. We can still be friends despite the royalty thing right? Like Magrath doesn't have anything against princes having friends does it?" She asked shyly.

Clock
Clock stayed silent for a long while after Jorgen spoke, it acted in a way that seemed similar to disappointment but not quite the same. "I understand. Thank you for make me father." It said and turned to watch the others. Suddenly it wrapped its hooves around Jorgen gently, "I think this called hug. I use right?" It asked curiously. "What magic is?" It asked as well.

Rouge
Rouge woke up happily in Pitch's hooves and sighed as she recalled the previous night's conversations. In many ways she wished she were bearing his child at that moment, something that bound her to him apart from their love. She snuggled as close to him as she could and kissed his lips softly. "Morning Pitchy Pie." She said softly and glanced to the table, there were two boxes waiting for them. She smiled and stroked his mane, "Packages for us love." She said softly.

She pushed it to Oddity, "This one's yours." She said with a smile, "OPEN IT!"

Oddity reddened a little, looking at Shimmer in the bodysuit. "Y-Yeah, it's wonderful..." he said with a nervous smile. Oddity looked down to his own box and really did feel like an idiot for not opening. Although, he did feel a sense of personal sense of satisfaction, these presents weren't explosive! Happily, Oddity pried open his own box.

She pushed it to Oddity, "This one's yours." She said with a smile, "OPEN IT!"

Grace blinked blankly at the shiny new hammer in front of her before chuckled weakly and shaking her head with a warm smile. "I might, honestly, but I'm not sure what may happen!" She laughed softly and skated towards the box she took it from, upon which she placed the hammer back into the box and decidedly swooped it up with her snout, laying the box gently on her back instead. She giggled and saluted to the ponies there. "I want to ask one more time, though, if anypony here knows of where an orange anthropony might've gone! I really want to ask her about something and I hope to at least get an educated guess, even a random guess!" She yelled out almost too happily as her smile faded instantaneously, deflating quickly as she scowled a little at the ground. "I'm losing my damn grip, dammit! Why do I say it like that even without Blink on my side now..." She sighed before chalking up a small smile to anyone present who might answer.

[Pinki3 Pon-3]

Blink/Shimmer
Inside Oddities box was a scabbard for his razor, seeming to have been fitted specially for that razor. Alongside it was a leather jacket that upon much closer inspection contained bullet proof paneling. On top of that was a purely decorative fedora. Shimmer whistled and placed the fedora on Oddity's head. "Wow, you look like you mean business!" She said and giggled a little as she glanced over the jacket which had clearly been fitted specifically for Oddity. "As creepy as it may be, its probably a good thing it fits perfectly." She said and nuzzled him. "Go on, you'll look as dashing as this makes me hot." She said with a wink and giggled again.
Blink teleported onto Grace's back and picked up the helmet (not sure where you got hammer from *shrug*) and stuck it on Grace's head. She buckled the buckles with her tongue sticking out in concentration and then rested her forehooves on it as she leaned over. She bent her neck downwards so her eyes met Grace's while her head was upside down. "Gracey, Sunbreaker's at that other funny metal anthropony's house. Silver told me so, I'll show you where." She said with a smile.

(She shoved the hammer in her face.)

Grace laughed weakly at this and grinned at the new addition to her head before shrugging. "Eh. Someone's gonna find this weird, but if you like it on my head, okie dokie then!" She stuck her tongue out at her as she faced her upside. The sound of the orange anthropony's name, however, sent shivers down her neck as her knees wobbled. She giggled softly like an idiot and her grin helped to play the part in showing that. She let out a little blissful sigh as she waved to the rest of the ponies with an almost dreamy look on her face before skating off at Celestia knows how fast. "Sunbreaker..." She whispered with a light tint on her cheeks and a giggle as she went down the pavement of the roads with surprising ease.

Oddity took the jacket from the box and raised an eyebrow. Looks like these boxes were explosive. With fashion sense! Oddity snickered and slipped the jacket on. It was snug on his figure, though the bullet-proof plating was a little unnerving. He couldn't imagine what that was for, or why you'd butcher such a nice jacket. In all fairness, it wasn't really butchered at all, the armoring blended seamlessly. "You didn't need a bodysuit to look hot cupcake," Oddity said with a wink of his own as he adjusted his fedora.

Rouge woke up happily in Pitch's hooves and sighed as she recalled the previous night's conversations. In many ways she wished she were bearing his child at that moment, something that bound her to him apart from their love. She snuggled as close to him as she could and kissed his lips softly. "Morning Pitchy Pie." She said softly and glanced to the table, there were two boxes waiting for them. She smiled and stroked his mane, "Packages for us love." She said softly.

Pitch cracked his eyes open, and smiled at Roo. "Good morning, love." he said, "We got packages? Then let's see what's inside them." Pitch climbed down from bed, and stretched his back out. "I never got mail before, you know." he said, as he walked towards the packages to see what's inside.
Meanwhile, Shade and Clover both woke up, around the same time. "Good Morning, Clover." said Shade, as he entered the kitchen, "I'll get some breakfast made. Then, I got to go back to the former HQ, to check on something." Clover nodded, and sat down at table. Shade heated up some omelets, and placed them down on the table. "Enjoy," said Shade, as he sat down and ate his omelets. The bat-pony finished his omelets first, and cleaned up after himself. "I'm going to leave now, Clover." said Shade, "If you want to take a shower, you may. I'll be back shortly." Clover nodded his head, finding himself, less and less with things to write down, more often. Shade left the apartment, and returned to Mac's house. There he found two particular boxes. One had his name on it; the other had Shamrock's name on it. Shade took the boxes, and brought them back to the apartment. "Clover." shouted Shade, "I'm back. I found some boxes back at the old HQ, with our names on them." Clover stepped into the kitchen after his shower, when Shade returned. He eyed the boxes Shade placed on the table. "Well," said the bat-pony, "Let's see what's inside."

[Pinki3 Pon-3]

Blink
(Never said hammer anywhere, its a helmet and a set of shin guards for a roller blader not sure why you'd want a hammer though)

Blink giggled and shook her head as she held on tight with her metal hooves as they skated on. She closed her eyes and a portal appeared in front of them. They appeared on the street of Trit's house. She looked around for the address Silver had told her about. Trit was standing outside and Blink waved at her just before she teleported herself and Grace to where Sunbreaker was. Sunbreaker turned away from Pell in shock, having her apologetic moment interrupted. She turned and looked to Grace and Blink in surprise, "Oh, hello Grace, who's the little cling on?" She asked curiously.

Shimmer
Shimmer noticed that Blink had disappeared again and sighed. She was use to Blink's fierce independence and smiled to Oddity blushing as he complimented her. She looked down at the ground with her mane across her face, "Th-thanks O-Oddsy. Y-you look good t-too." She said softly, still feeling very new to the relationship and acting a lot shyer than her slim suit made her seem. "I erm, wh-what should we do now?" She asked curiously.

Rouge
Rouge smiled and got out of bed. She approached the box nonchalantly in her naked form and picked them up before bring them to the bed, dragging Pitch along with her. "I like the bed better." She said with a giggle and climbed back under the covers with him. She opened her box first and gasped. Inside there sat two ornate black leather gloves and a matching black leather suit. "Mmm, looks sexy, good timing too, I don't think I can find my last set of clothes after last night." She said and kissed Pitch. The black gloves had metal inlays that enveloped her claws and acted as longer, sharper ones. "Oh, beautiful and deadly." She said with a giggle. Inside Pitch's box were four spherical black powder bombs along with a recipe to make them and a sash which held up to ten of them at a time.

For Clover and Shade
For Clover their was a pack of five pocket notebooks with ornate covers and a velvet backing. There was an ornate, silver ball point pen (one of the first ) with his new name on it. It also had a switch near the top that made a poisoned needle extrude from the tip. Inside Shade's box was a compressed gas powered dart pistol along with a tincture of insanity inducing fluid and a recipe for the poison, guaranteed to drive the biggest person insane in a few heartbeats.

Shimmer
Shimmer noticed that Blink had disappeared again and sighed. She was use to Blink's fierce independence and smiled to Oddity blushing as he complimented her. She looked down at the ground with her mane across her face, "Th-thanks O-Oddsy. Y-you look good t-too." She said softly, still feeling very new to the relationship and acting a lot shyer than her slim suit made her seem. "I erm, wh-what should we do now?" She asked curiously.

"Uhm..." Oddity thought for a moment, "Wanna go do something fun? Maybe I can show you where I live!" He smiled broadly and stood up. "It's only fair you know, besides, the Cabaret should be closing right about now... You wanna go?" Oddity was practically jumping up and down with excitement, and his one eye glinted.

Sunbreaker turned away from Pell in shock, having her apologetic moment interrupted. She turned and looked to Grace and Blink in surprise, "Oh, hello Grace, who's the little cling on?" She asked curiously.

(Bleh, sorry!)

Grace blinked blankly at the portal before chuckling and shaking her head at this. As she found herself in front of Sunbreaker, her heart thumped loudly as she stared at the anthropony with a sweaty face. "O-o-oh! Um... hello...." She whispered, looking down almost bashfully as she smiled shyly and blushed deeply. "...u-u-u-um... o-oh, this?" She tilted her head slowly upwards and looked up to her new helmet. "J-just something to help stop me from falling when I rollerblade..." She laughed weakly and looked back down towards her own skates. "S-so... um... what were you here for, actually?"

[New Babylonia]

Snow
Snow looked curiously at Silver's body. "What are you doing?" She asked curiously. "A-are you okay? You look strained." She said and placed a paw on Aurora's mane. "Don't exert yourself okay?" She said calmly. Suddenly two wooden boxes caught her eye. "Say, what are these?" She said reading their names out on the tags. "Wonder why Mac had these . . . Should we open them?" She asked Aurora, handing her the box with her name on it.

Aurora, feeling strained indeed let up on the incredibly advanced spell and took the box with her name. Maybe they were like, presents! Ooohh, Aurora loved presents. But what kind of present was a box? She shrugged, and opened the box to stare at the contents inside, rather sad immediately to see it was no present.

[Pinki3 Pon-3]

Shimmer
Shimmer giggled and nodded. "I . . . Yeah, that sounds nice." She said with a smile. Hearing that it was closed was sort of a disappointment to her, she was curious about it and at heart, the only reason she acted prim and proper was for Blink's benefit. She nodded again to affirm her agreement, partly for herself. "Yes, let's go Oddsy." She said softly and smiled meekly, "M-maybe y-you could . . . " She started and then shook her head, Blink had influenced her for too long. "No, I couldn't ask that, even in this." She said and gestured to her suit with a giggle, "Let's go."

Blink/Sunbreaker
Sunbreaker chuckled, "I know, it looks good on you by the way, but I meant the filly." She said and patted Blink's head. Blink giggled and hugged Sunbreaker with chocolate still on her lips, "I'M Blink! Gracey's like my sister!" She said. Sunbreaker gasped for breath, "Y-you're crushing me Blink. . . Ah, thanks" she said as Blink released her. "Well, you have a wonderful sister Blink. She's very talented." She said with a giggle and turned to Grace, "I was here to build that-" she pointed to Clock and smiled back at Grace. "But we're done now so I guess I'm free if you needed me."

Snow
Snow looked in her box at the new wrench for her and smiled, it was possibly the best gift nobody ever gave her because, who wanted a wrench? Besides her. She looked at Aurora curiously, "What's wrong? That's a very nice pair of hooflets(bracelets). I've heard of those things, they apparently give unicorns special powers or something like that." She said and shrugged, gesturing to the hooflets with markings of fire on one and ice on another.

Shimmer
Shimmer giggled and nodded. "I . . . Yeah, that sounds nice." She said with a smile. Hearing that it was closed was sort of a disappointment to her, she was curious about it and at heart, the only reason she acted prim and proper was for Blink's benefit. She nodded again to affirm her agreement, partly for herself. "Yes, let's go Oddsy." She said softly and smiled meekly, "M-maybe y-you could . . . " She started and then shook her head, Blink had influenced her for too long. "No, I couldn't ask that, even in this." She said and gestured to her suit with a giggle, "Let's go."

Blink/Sunbreaker
Sunbreaker chuckled, "I know, it looks good on you by the way, but I meant the filly." She said and patted Blink's head. Blink giggled and hugged Sunbreaker with chocolate still on her lips, "I'M Blink! Gracey's like my sister!" She said. Sunbreaker gasped for breath, "Y-you're crushing me Blink. . . Ah, thanks" she said as Blink released her. "Well, you have a wonderful sister Blink. She's very talented."

As Oddity walked alongside in, leading the way to the Cabaret, he looked at Shimmer oddly. "What Shimmer? It's not like I'm gonna yell out you for asking me to do something!" he said with a giggle and kept walking. Maybe she just wanted him to hold her hoof? Oddity didn't know, but he wasn't quite sure how she could act so meek in an outfit like that. That was just teasing.

Blink/Sunbreaker
Sunbreaker chuckled, "I know, it looks good on you by the way, but I meant the filly." She said and patted Blink's head. Blink giggled and hugged Sunbreaker with chocolate still on her lips, "I'M Blink! Gracey's like my sister!" She said. Sunbreaker gasped for breath, "Y-you're crushing me Blink. . .

She said with a giggle and turned to Grace, "I was here to build that-" she pointed to Clock and smiled back at Grace. "But we're done now so I guess I'm free if you needed me."

Grace blushed and nodded. "T-thank you- oh, dear!" She laughed heartily as Blink hugged Sunbreaker tightly, her own face flushing deeply as she heard Sunbreaker compliment her, bashfully looking down with a warm smile. "T-t-thank you..." She sighed and giggled, her face turning to Clock with a slight smirk. "I see then: Helping to build a robot instead of the rebellion, eh?" Her smirk faltered slightly at this mention, but she happily shoved it aside as she looked up to Shimmer. With a lump suddenly in her throat, she stared almost expectantly at Shimmer with quivering lips. "...I-I-I.... erm... I-I w-ant you too..." She darted her face back towards the floor and groaned, tilting her head up to meet her eyes. "...I-I want to- oh, shoot!" She waved her hooves out. "I want to ask you out on a date, please say yes!" The colour intensified on her cheek as she saw her position and the words that just came out, causing her to fall carelessly onto the ground as the padding, for the most part, kept her out of harm's way. She sighed weakly and laughed as she picked herself back up with tears in her eyes. "...s-sorry..." She squeaked out, shutting her eyes tightly as she tilted her face slightly away.

Mac
Mac raised an eyebrow as he opened his. Inside was a pair of gunmetal grey metal hoof busters. He smiled broadly and sighed as he pushed the box marked Malthazar Asbertius Craven aside. "Wonder how they knew my name. . . " He said softly and chuckled. He picked up Shining's box and slid the lid open with one eye closed, half expecting it to go off as she said it would. Instead it housed an ornate book filled with empty lines, a journal of some kind, the back few pages were filled with catalogues of symptoms of illnesses, poisons and mild disorders along with treatments and shortcuts when certain equipment was missing. "Looks like they care more about keepin' ye alive than assassinatin' ye."

Concerto

Concerto giggled a little as he watched Shining cautiously look at the journal. "Well, Shining, looks like you were wrong. Trusting is a better trait to have than to be overly cautious about every little thing." Concerto said, cheerfully, as he watched Shining sigh in defeat and throw the book onto a bookshelf. "You know, Mac, that certainly is an...interesting full name. Malthazar is a nice name, honestly." Concerto said, sincerely, taking a look down at Mac's box. "It sounds sophisticated, ans noble, and high class; your mother and father certainly picked a good name, it certainly fits a heroic pony like you well." Concerto said, keeping Mac's full name on tongue, repeating it over and over in his mind.
