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

[Sungai Pusat]

Grace looked worriedly at Mac's desperation, all hints of worry fading away as she saw how Mac was caring for Blink. Her face broke into a little smile as Blink recounted her plans with her, having obviously regained some footing mentally. She oofed softly at the hug and laughed jubilantly, hugging her with as much energy, clearing away the once dreadful atmosphere that had clogged up the room's space. "Of course I heard that, Blinkey! And I know, it's so exciting, isn't it?!" She carried the young filly into the air with her hooves and practically beamed at her, all worry crumbling into the ground as her own spunk and buzz ignited again as she stared into Blink's wide eyes.

Blink giggled, "WEEE!" She yelled as Grace lifted her into the air. She giggled happily and Mac sighed with relief. "Good, she's back ta herself." He said tiredly and sat down. He smiled to Grace and chuckled, "Don't leave her alone fer too long. Sheesh, can't believe I fergot that." He hit his forehead with his hoof and sighed, "And whatever ye do, don't touch her neck. Don't let anypony else touch her neck either." He said seriously. He shook his head and smiled, "Ye've got this under control though. Have fun my filly mkay?" He asked Blink. She smiled and teleported to his side. She gave him a kiss on the cheek and nuzzled his side. "I will daddy." She said and teleported back into Grace's hooves, leaving Mac looking rather dumbfounded.

Blink giggled, "WEEE!" She yelled as Grace lifted her into the air. She giggled happily and Mac sighed with relief. "Good, she's back ta herself." He said tiredly and sat down. He smiled to Grace and chuckled, "Don't leave her alone fer too long. Sheesh, can't believe I fergot that." He hit his forehead with his hoof and sighed, "And whatever ye do, don't touch her neck. Don't let anypony else touch her neck either." He said seriously. He shook his head and smiled, "Ye've got this under control though. Have fun my filly mkay?" He asked Blink. She smiled and teleported to his side. She gave him a kiss on the cheek and nuzzled his side. "I will daddy." She said and teleported back into Grace's hooves, leaving Mac looking rather dumbfounded.

Concerto

Concerto couldn't help but smile at Blink being happy. "Glad to see you feeling better, Blink." Concerto said cheerfully to Blink before walking over to Mac. "You should really get that filly some anti-depressants, or something for her mood swings." Concerto whispered in Mac's ear. As sweet and adorable as Blink is, I'd rather not see her be sad, serving as a reminder of my own mood swings... Concerto thought, thinking back to his own manic-depressive tendencies.

Grace nodded furiously and brought her reasonably close to her, careful not to hug the filly around her chest nor for her own neck to touch Blink's, pulling away swiftly as she nodded at both Concerto and Mac's words, not having caught the former's whispers. "I will remember all that, Mac. And... well, say goodbye now to your daddy and 'uncle', Blink! We're going to go over to my house now!" She carried her, gently lifted her out of her hooves and bent down quickly, giving a wink to Concerto as the filly went over her head regarding her calling him uncle. Her flip resulted in Blink landing perfectly on Grace's back in a resounding thump. She bit her lower lip due to the pain of the impact, but she smiled nonetheless, her eyes now looking at both stallions present. "I'll be at somewhere along Inventitive Avenue. It crosses Efficacy Road: You shouldn't miss it if you notice a wide roadway of asphalt with nothing but carts moving about as far as the eye can see." She shuffled her body a little, swiftly giving Mac a kiss on the cheeks before waving to both Concerto and Mac, slowly trotting out of the room, being careful not to hurt her back anymore than it needed to be.

Oddity nodded, "After you Mi-... After you Shimmer!" This was going to be fun, not only had he not been to this restaurant for a while, but he had company for the first time in a while. He could finally walk up to that fancy host-person and tell him 'table for two'. Oddity found that notion especially exciting.

Shimmer smiled thankfully and nodded, "Thanks Oddity. I hope Blink will be fine while I'm gone. Mac should be able to take care of her." She said with a friendly smile. "I erm . . . You'll have to lead the way. I have no idea where the restaurant is." She said with an embarrassed chuckle. "I've also never heard of the cabaret but that's probably because I live in an asylum." She said with a sigh.

Oddity nodded, "After you Mi-... After you Shimmer!" This was going to be fun, not only had he not been to this restaurant for a while, but he had company for the first time in a while.

She said with a sigh.

"Nonsense, don't think like that... The cabaret isn't for everyone... It's content is what made it so popular," Oddity explained. It was probably for the best Shimmer hand't heard of the Cabaret, considering how much Oddity actually did there. Absent-mindedly, Oddity took her by the hoof and gestured down one road with his other forehoof, "Right this way!" He led her along, hoof in his for some time until finally passing the Cabaret. From the outside it was a massive, extravagant building, with 'Straight Razor' in big red letters, while 'Cabaret' was in an alabaster white. It looked like a palace from the outside, though on the inside it was very, very different. "That's the Cabaret there," he muttered as he led her along down the street to the resturant. The resturant itself was called 'Un Avant-Goût de la France'. It wasn't as big as the Coterie, but the inside looked much, much nicer. Oddity held the door and smiled.

Concerto couldn't help but smile at Blink being happy. "Glad to see you feeling better, Blink." Concerto said cheerfully to Blink before walking over to Mac. "You should really get that filly some anti-depressants, or something for her mood swings." Concerto whispered in Mac's ear.

She shuffled her body a little, swiftly giving Mac a kiss on the cheeks before waving to both Concerto and Mac, slowly trotting out of the room, being careful not to hurt her back anymore than it needed to be.

Mac watched as Grace hugged her carefully and whispered, "She's fine with hugs, so long as your hooves are around her body, not her neck." He whispered, recalling Blink's complicated . . . Things. He smiled and waved chuckling when she called Concerto Blink's uncle. She already had tons of uncles and aunts from the gang. Blink giggled as she landed on Grace's back and waved back at Concerto and Mac cheerfully. "WEE! That was fun Grace. You're fun!" She said with a giggle as they left.
Mac turned to Concerto and sighed, "Ye remember the doctors she mentioned? They tried med's. Just made it worse, anti-depressants turned her psychotic, other meds just make her depressed. Ye can't control her moods, ye can only try guide her." Mac said sadly. "What she did there, it wasn't quite depression like ye know it. It's repercussions from her father." He said sadly.

"Nonsense, don't think like that... The cabaret isn't for everyone... It's content is what made it so popular," Oddity explained. It was probably for the best Shimmer hand't heard of the Cabaret, considering how much Oddity actually did there.

The resturant itself was called 'Un Avant-Goût de la France'. It wasn't as big as the Coterie, but the inside looked much, much nicer. Oddity held the door and smiled.

Shimmer smiled as she passed the Cabaret, "Looks entertaining." She said, not quite noticing the inside thanks to the massive sign. She turned her attention the restaurant. "Oh wow! This place is amazing! This is the right place right Oddity?" She asked curiously unused to being treated with such generosity. "I um . . . Isn't it expensive at this place? I-I don't have that much on me." She said nervously.

[Morlodania]

Sunbreaker jumped a little causing her bright red mane to dance around her shoulders. She whirled around and blushed, her orange cheeks turning bright red. "Ehehe sorry, you didn't . . . You saw that of course, how stupid of me." She said and shook her head. "Sorry, I just lose myself sometimes. Especially in wonderful machines such as these." She said with an embarrassed giggle. "Let's get started then."

"Who am I to stand between the love of a pony and a machine?" Jorgen smiles and laughs slightly. "After all, that's how I came to be. How else would I have all of these machine parts?"

Trit rolls her eyes and punches Jorgen playfully. "We should start. Run the blueprints and start the machines up. Hurry, go."

Jorgen laughs softly and bows slightly to Trit. "As you wish, daughter." He goes and places the blueprints on a machine, and begins firing up the machines.

Pell fires up the machines overhead.

"Nonononono..." Oddity repeated, "No. No. I make plenty of money at the Cabaret, and you are in desperate need of a break, allow me to pay..." Oddity trotted up to the host, standing at the podium. The host was a tall unicorn anthro, dressed in a fine silk suit jacket and hat. "Bonjour monsieur," Oddity said with a smile. While he sure couldn't read French, he could at least speak some of it, quite fluently too, "Erm... Une table pour deux?"

"I can speak english you know," the anthro said.

Oddity stood phased, "Oh... Hi. Table for two then... I'm a regular here, should be under the VIP as Mister Oddity?.."

"Ah, yes. Right this way, Mister Oddity."

Oddity looked at Shimmer excitedly and led her to the table.

Concerto

"Oh...I'm sorry to hear that..." Concerto said, depressed. That poor filly...I can only imagine what it must be like for her... He thought, his mood quickly changing. "Well, I'm happy to do whatever I can to help her...I hate seeing people suffer needlessly..." Concerto thought, wishing that there was something he could do to help out Blink. He knew what it was like to lose family at a relatively young age, and could sympathize with her, making his desire to help her grow even more.

Jorgen laughs softly and bows slightly to Trit. "As you wish, daughter." He goes and places the blueprints on a machine, and begins firing up the machines.

Pell fires up the machines overhead.

Sunbreaker jumped and looked up to see Pell, she giggled and waved her hoof. She looked around at all the machines in amazement she giggled in delight and walked up to Trit, "So how long have you lot been building these? These things are amazing." She whispered in awe. She giggled again and looked at Jorgen, "Did he make those things? I wouldn't mind a mechanical arm myself. I LOVE machines." She said and squealed at the thought of having a prosthetic.

"Nonononono..." Oddity repeated, "No. No. I make plenty of money at the Cabaret, and you are in desperate need of a break, allow me to pay..." Oddity trotted up to the host, standing at the podium.

"Ah, yes. Right this way, Mister Oddity."

Oddity looked at Shimmer excitedly and led her to the table.

Shimmer sat down and gazed around in amazement, "I . . . Just . . . Wow . . . Wow . . . Th-thank you Oddity." She said in amazement. "I . . . I've never really been treated like this . . . Nopony's ever bothered with me, usually they just run when they hear I'm with Blink." She said and sighed before looking up to Oddity with a warm smile, "Thank you, really." She said softly.

Mac smiled and nodded, "Thank you fer yer carin' though. She needs as much love as she can get." He said with a sigh and nodded. "While I guess that frees me up fer the night." He said and glanced at his back where his broken wings sat useless in their casts. "I think I might go sleep at home. I'll listen ta a doc fer once in me life. Sure as hell won't do it again fer a long time . . . Ah crap I hope Panacea doesn't hear about this! She'll be all over me if I'm like this!" He said worriedly.

"Well that's not very nice, is it?" Oddity said with a smile, "And it's no problem. I assume you probably don't get to go out like this often with all the responsibilities you have, so I'm going to do my best to make sure it's a time to remember, okay?" he asked. The waiter handed them both menus, and Oddity took a moment to ponder over all the choices. Oddity wasn't quite sure why he even bothered, he always ended up picking the same thing. "What are you having?" Oddity asked casually.

Concerto

"You do that, Mac; it'll be good for you. Besides, the more you rest, the sooner you'll get better, and the sooner you can spend time with me." Concerto said, lovingly. I certainly hope Mac gets better soon...I hate seeing him in bad health... He thought, concerned about Mac. "Oh, and Mac, I'd be happy to come with you, and help take care of anything that you can't." Concerto offered to Mac, wanting to help his love out anyway he could.

Shimmer nodded, "Thank you Oddity. I'm sure it will be enjoyable." She said and smiled warmly. She looked up at him surprised when he asked her. "Oh um . . . I d-don't really know. It all seems so expensive I wouldn't want you to spend too much." She said and blushed a little. "I-I was going to wait to ask you what you were going to have." She said shyly and looked down at the menu. "I-I . . . What would you suggest?" She asked with a smile.

[The Flutterlands]

Pitch simply made a slight grunt in pain, as Roo took his hoof. It did hurt, but, not much. "Just don't pull on it, too hard." he said. Pitch then cocked his head towards the south, opposite to the city. "It's right over there." he said, "Just a half-mile walk, that's all."

Roo giggled and loosened her grip on his hoof and bent down to place a kiss on it as she threw the towel over her shoulder. "A half-mile walk with you hardly counts as effort." She said and rubbed up against him as they walked, "I'm sure your hoof will feel a lot better after we play around a bit in the river . . . Maybe an underwater massage for my Pitchy Pie." She cooed and released his hoof, placing her hand on his neck and stroked his mane as she loved doing.

Pitch giggled at the idea. "S-sure, why not?" he asked, "I like your massages, just as I love you." As the vixen and stallion, continued their walk, the sound of water could be heard. "We're almost there." said Pitch, "Can you here the waterfall?" As they got closer, and closer to the river, Pitch gazed at the beautiful vixen beside him. Not sense, Pure White, has he seen a more beautiful creature. Then, they arrived at the river. Pitch returned his gaze to Roo, and smiled. "Vixens first." he said, cheerfully.

I certainly hope Mac gets better soon...I hate seeing him in bad health... He thought, concerned about Mac. "Oh, and Mac, I'd be happy to come with you, and help take care of anything that you can't." Concerto offered to Mac, wanting to help his love out anyway he could.

Mac chuckled, "I'm sure I'll be perfectly fine. No doubt Panacea will want ta have a look at my injuries." He said with a chuckle. "She's the medic fer the gang. I don't think ye would like her. She's very . . . Erm . . . Forcibly sexual if ye understand what I mean." Mac said awkwardly. "Panacea's the kind of medic ye only go ta fer the worst wounds. She has a tendency of harrassin' her patients." He said with a sigh. "If ye want I could introduce ye ta Shudder." Mac said with a smile. "He could help ye with yer chest injury." He said caringly and reached out a hoof to wrap around Concerto. "I hope I can return ta spendin' time with ye as soon as possible." He said and gave Concerto a kiss on the cheek.

Pitch giggled at the idea. "S-sure, why not?" he asked, "I like your massages, just as I love you." As the vixen and stallion, continued their walk, the sound of water could be heard. "We're almost there." said Pitch, "Can you here the waterfall?" As they got closer, and closer to the river, Pitch gazed at the beautiful vixen beside him. Not sense, Pure White, has he seen a more beautiful creature. Then, they arrived at the river. Pitch returned his gaze to Roo, and smiled. "Vixens first." he said, cheerfully.

Roo giggled and did a graceful swan-dive into the river. She surfaced again and flicked her head backwards, sending water flying. Her wet fur clung to her naked form as she swam around in the water and giggled. "Come on in Pitchy Pie!" She said with a giggle and swam to the edge of the river. She set her arms on the ground above the water and smiled lovingly to him. "I'm waiting for my handsome stallion." She said with a smile.

Mac chuckled, "I'm sure I'll be perfectly fine. No doubt Panacea will want ta have a look at my injuries." He said with a chuckle. "She's the medic fer the gang. I don't think ye would like her.

Concerto

"I'd be happy to meet him. Any friend of yours is a friend of mine." Concerto said, happily, staring lovingly into Mac's eyes as he embraced him in a light hug, making a point to be gentle, so as not to hurt him. I can barely wait for him to be better! The sooner the two of us can spend all day every day together, the better! Concerto thought merrily as he nuzzled Mac gently. Well, gangster or not, Mac is the most perfect stallion anypony could ever hope for, and I'd do anything in my power to help him in his time of need. He thought as he looked into Mac's eyes and awaited a response.

She said shyly and looked down at the menu. "I-I . . . What would you suggest?" She asked with a smile.

Oddity smiled comfortingly and shook his head, "Don't think about others Shimmer, this is your day off, you get to think about yourself." It irritated him when he took somepony to dinner and they were worried about cost, even if he was paying. If Oddity was so worried about his money, he wouldn't have offered. "Normally, I just get a salad, the salads here are to die for! They have all kinds of stuff in'em you'd never find anywhere else!" he said giggling.

[The Flutterlands]

Pitch giggled at the idea. "S-sure, why not?" he asked, "I like your massages, just as I love you." As the vixen and stallion, continued their walk, the sound of water could be heard.

She set her arms on the ground above the water and smiled lovingly to him. "I'm waiting for my handsome stallion." She said with a smile.

Pitch stared at Roo swimming in the river, with awe. She just won't cease to amaze the black unicorn, with her beautiful, feminine, nude form. Pitch blushed, as he slowly stepped into the river, allowing the cool water to comfort his black fur coat. He swam limply towards his fiance. Pitch gazed at her with glee. "I'm ready for my underwater massage, my love." he said, with a giggle.

Roo giggled and pulled her fiancé closer. She smiled broadly as she placed her hands on his flanks and pulled his body close to hers as she kissed him deeply and massaged his body. As they kissed she pulled him underwater and continued the kiss until they surfaced again. "Oh come, come Pitch, always with sticking to plans." She said and giggled before swiftly diving under water and swam under him, surfacing behind him. "You need to loosen up my love." She said as she began stroking his mane and massaging his neck.

Oddity smiled comfortingly and shook his head, "Don't think about others Shimmer, this is your day off, you get to think about yourself." It irritated him when he took somepony to dinner and they were worried about cost, even if he was paying. If Oddity was so worried about his money, he wouldn't have offered.

Shimmer smiled embarrassedly, "O-okay, s-sorry. I'm not used to worrying about myself. My life is usually about Blink." She said and giggled shyly. "I guess I could try a salad." She said and then sighed. She closed the menu and smiled to Oddity, "I'll let you decide for me. You know this place better than me in any way." She said with a smile. "I'll be happy with whatever it is you choose."

"I'd be happy to meet him. Any friend of yours is a friend of mine." Concerto said, happily, staring lovingly into Mac's eyes as he embraced him in a light hug, making a point to be gentle, so as not to hurt him. I can barely wait for him to be better! The sooner the two of us can spend all day every day together, the better! Concerto thought merrily as he nuzzled Mac gently. Well, gangster or not, Mac is the most perfect stallion anypony could ever hope for, and I'd do anything in my power to help him in his time of need. He thought as he looked into Mac's eyes and awaited a response.

"Well then, let's get goin'" He said with a smile. He began a limping walk towards the exit with a hoof still around Concerto's shoulders. He removed his hoof in order to open the door and gave Concerto a quick kiss on the lips before he exited. "He'll be absolutely amazed ta meet ye." He said with a chuckle as he hobbled out onto the streets. He smiled to Concerto, "Ye can be comfortable around him too. Unlike Pana, he touches in a friendly, non-invasive way." He said with a chuckle. "Very respectin' stallion that one. He knows that people need their space." He said with a smile. He led the way back to Soliloquy and Enjambment.

"Sounds like a delightful stallion." Concerto said cheerfully as he walked with Mac. "So, this gang of yours has two doctors? This Pana mare, and mister Shudder?" Concerto asked, genuinely curious. How exactly do street gangs work, anyway? Does one pony run the whole thing, and pay everypony, like a normal business? Does everypony in it have an equal say in things? Ugh, I'll never understand the criminal life...Oh, well, I probably don't want to know, anyway. Concerto pondered to himself as he walked alongside Mac.

While Prizrak is parkouring from roof top to roof top, he makes his way to the High Society part of the city. When he gets there, he sees a very large house and decides to climb it. Turns out to be Jorgen's house, but Prizrak doesn't know that. When he gets to the top, he stands and enjoys the view.

Oddity smiled comfortingly and shook his head, "Don't think about others Shimmer, this is your day off, you get to think about yourself." It irritated him when he took somepony to dinner and they were worried about cost, even if he was paying. If Oddity was so worried about his money, he wouldn't have offered. "Normally, I just get a salad, the salads here are to die for! They have all kinds of stuff in'em you'd never find anywhere else!" he said giggling.

Shimmer smiled embarrassedly, "O-okay, s-sorry. I'm not used to worrying about myself. My life is usually about Blink." She said and giggled shyly. "I guess I could try a salad." She said and then sighed. She closed the menu and smiled to Oddity, "I'll let you decide for me. You know this place better than me in any way." She said with a smile. "I'll be happy with whatever it is you choose."

Oddity nodded and winked, "Whatever you'd like hun'." As Oddity was setting down his own menu, a unicorn mare waiter came up, levitating a notepad and quill. "May I take your order Monsieur?"

"The usual," Oddity replied simply, "Two of them please."

"Excuse me Monsieur?" the mare asked raising an eyebrow.

Oddity took off his sunglasses, "Joy, It's me, Oddity."

Joy turned red and smiled, "Monsieur Oddity! I'm so sorry... I didn't recognize you out of dress... and you're with a mare."

"So?"

"Well- I- Well I thought you... Normally you're with a stallion..." Joy said, growing more red by the minute.

Oddity blushed and put his sunglasses on, "I- Well... Er... Joy- That's not-... Uh... I- I fly both ways..." Oddity said sheepishly.

"Oh! Uhm... I'll go back to the kitchen now... You're food should be done soon," Joy said smiling, red as ever.

"Bring some wine too..." Oddity called, dropping his head down onto the table in an attempt to hide.

Pitch stared at Roo swimming in the river, with awe. She just won't cease to amaze the black unicorn, with her beautiful, feminine, nude form. Pitch blushed, as he slowly stepped into the river, allowing the cool water to comfort his black fur coat. He swam limply towards his fiance. Pitch gazed at her with glee. "I'm ready for my underwater massage, my love." he said, with a giggle.

Roo giggled and pulled her fiancé closer. She smiled broadly as she placed her hands on his flanks and pulled his body close to hers as she kissed him deeply and massaged his body. As they kissed she pulled him underwater and continued the kiss until they surfaced again. "Oh come, come Pitch, always with sticking to plans." She said and giggled before swiftly diving under water and swam under him, surfacing behind him. "You need to loosen up my love." She said as she began stroking his mane and massaging his neck.

Pitch moaned in comfort. If there's one thing he specifically loves about Roo, it's her massages. They make him feel so well relaxed, he could wish Roo to never stop. "Oh... yeah. That's the spot, yeah." groaned Pitch. One of his hind legs began to twitch in the water. "You are miracle, Roo. You really are... You should teach me, how to give you massages."

Ugh, I'll never understand the criminal life...Oh, well, I probably don't want to know, anyway. Concerto pondered to himself as he walked alongside Mac.

Mac smiled, "In a way yeah. Pana handles the flesh wounds, the broken bones, those things. She's pretty good at what she does. Once she had Chevron fightin' while his heart was hangin' outa his chest. She operated the entire time." He said with a chuckle. "She also has a nasty habit of feelin' her patients up while she works." He said and shook his head. "Shudder on the other hoof deals with muscle problems. Twisted hooves, knotted muscles, he's good with that stuff. He can help a lot with chest injuries, most of the time it's muscle damage there." He said with a jovial smile. "You'll see, he'll have ye carryin' sandbags as if ye've been a miner yer entire life." Mac said with a smile as they arrived at the house.

"Bring some wine too..." Oddity called, dropping his head down onto the table in an attempt to hide.

Shimmer giggled a little not entirely sure what had just happened. Hell she wasn't even aware they were on a date thanks to her societal detachment. She sighed as she calmed down and smiled curiously at Oddity, "Usually with a stallion? Well, you did say you were different." She said with a smile. She looked around at the wonderful decorations in the restaurant and sighed happily, "Thank you Oddity, this truly is amazing, and beautiful." She said in wonder.

Pitch moaned in comfort. If there's one thing he specifically loves about Roo, it's her massages. They make him feel so well relaxed, he could wish Roo to never stop. "Oh... yeah. That's the spot, yeah." groaned Pitch. One of his hind legs began to twitch in the water. "You are miracle, Roo. You really are... You should teach me, how to give you massages."

Roo giggled and shook her head as she moved her hands down his back. "If I did that I'd be having you give me massages all the time. No, I like it better this way, where I get to feel you up and call it a massage." She said with a giggle, "You're allowed to try and call it whatever you want whenever you like you know?" She said mischievously and kissed the back of his neck. "I suppose I could give you a few tips though. You need to find the soft spots of the body, massaging bones doesn't help. The back has a few spots. Like here." She said and applied pressure to the area just below his rib cage and rubbed her pawed hands gently.

"I'm glad you like it," he mumbled, lazily raising his off the table, his sunglasses askew. They were at an angle, bent forward so that one eye was visible while the other had the glass pressed up against it. Oddity straightened his glasses and sat up straighter. "Different is good though... riight?" he asked with a curious glimmer in his one visible orange eye.
