An Assassin...? In Equestria?!
Chapter 6: The arrival in Ponyville
Previous Chapter Next ChapterI walked down the road from Canterlot thinking of the meeting with Max… It. Was. Awesome. I can’t believe someone got Displaced as Max from Life Is Strange… maybe someone got Displaced as The Doctor because that would be awesome especially if it was David Tennant.
You first Doctor is the Doctor you never forget.
I kept walking and looking around at the scenery just having a blast in the calm summer air.
I slowly made my way down the mountain road and onto the more plain road of the grassland between Canterlot mountain and Ponyville.
Hm what is the first thing I’m going to do when I get there? probably get a temporary home in a tavern, then get Scoots, then get a crew and then get to my old base in the cave on the east side of Equestria and after that put up a town… wow I have a big plan and a lot to do.
While I thought out my plan I walked into Ponyville.
Ow.
I stood up and got immediately thrown down again with a pink anthro pony sitting on my chest.
“AreyounewintownbecauseIhaveneverseenyoubeforeandIknoweveryponyinPonyvilleandmypinkiesensealsotoldmetherewasanewponycomingtotown…” She said until I put my hand on her mussle and stopped her.
“Please speak a bit slower you are making my head hurt and that was racist.” I said and she was racist like every other pony because they said everypony instead of everyone or everybody even though I was not a pony nor was griffins, goats and/or minotaurs.
"Ok and I'm... Sorry? For being racist." She said not knowing the word.
"It's ok just next time you have non ponies in the room or is talking to a non pony please use anyone or anybody it's." I said "Do you know where there is a tavern or low-class hotel? By any chance."
"Yes I know Berry has a bar and there is a hotel at the town center." She said and pointed.
"Thank you for the help... And could you get off me so I could go?" I asked getting tired of laying on the ground and wanting to get going.
"Oh, yes." she stood up "And... *Gasp*" She ran off to somewhere.
If I'm right she is going to make me a party.
"Of course silly." I heard from across town.
*sigh* "I won't even question it." I said as I walked further into town trying to find the hotel... I only needed the bar if I wanted to get drunk.
After walking around for a bit I finally found the city center and now to finding the hotel.
I walked around for a time a bit clueless as to what building was the hotel.
all these damn building all look the same... Wait
*facepalm* "I'm so stupid... I just looked at the buildings not the signs." I muttered to myself.
I looked around and found the hotel sign and walked in and... And I asked for a low-class hotel not a good looking, classy, high-class hotel like this one... Or this is pony low-class, I walked up to the receptionist and looked at her.
"Excuse me but could I have a room?" I asked.
"How long are you going to be staying?" She asked not even looking up at me.
"Um, as long as I'm paying?" I said not sure of what to say.
"We are not an apartment building please use a specific number of days." She said snob like.
"Fine, for atleast three weeks." I said really getting a nerve on.
"Ok then that will be three hundred bits." She said.
"*sigh* ok." I said as I pulled out a big sack of bits taking a few handfuls out and counting them real fast "Take any extra as tips." I said.
She took the money "Name, age and work." She said.
"Name is Edward Kenway, age is... Ah shit what is it? Thirty-five and work? Pirateering." I said as she looked at me with a confused look.
"You are a what?" She asked.
"A captain, a captain of a ship." I answered.
"Ok just writing that down and... Done." She said and handed me a key.
"Thanks." I said as I walked up the stairs to my left and looked at my key, room 37, ok, I walked down the corridor and found my room.
I walked in and found a normal, not formal, hotel room with a middle sized bed, Mini bar, bathroom and walk in closet.
The walk in closet will be useful when I get more clothes from Rarity
So I got my stuff put out (which means all the contents of my backpack): Two spare hidden blades, two ekstra hidden swords, a few smoke grenades, my usual gear (since walking into a town with a lot of weapons is usually a bad idea), some spare clothes (like a ekstra pair of shoes, a T-shirt and shorts which was also dirty), and of course more guns all my spare guns and ammo.
So I began hiding most of my weapons around the room while I also made a list of where and why I was hiding them there, after that I put my usual gear under my assasins clothes and walked out of the hotel to find one seamstress.
I walke a bit around town trying to figure out where it was and finally I found the one, the only carousel boutique, so I walked up to the door and knocked.
"Ah, a customer." I heard Rarity say from the other side of the door and a few moments after The door was opened "Welcome to the Carousel Boutique, where everything is manifique, and what can I do for you today?" She asked.
"I just need a new outfit sewn and nothing else really, the outfit needs to look just like this not all glimered up just like this just not as dusty and ripped." I said and then she looked down at my clothes and made an overexagerated gasp.
"Darling, what have you done to this beautiful design of an outfit?!" She asked clearly not taking my fighting clothes well.
"Heh heh, yeah... Um... I fell of a cliff... Yeah that's what happenened, I fell of a cliff." I said as I rubbed the back of my head.
"But how did you do that?" She asked.
"Walked too close to the edge and the dirt fell from under my feet and I fell down the cliff." I answered getting awkward at all the questions.
"Ok. I guess that makes sense, but how did you survive that?" She asked getting a bit too question-y.
"Will power, I wanted to survive so I did and now I'm here with a damaged outfit and want to have a new one made. Here. At the Carousel Boutique, so are you interested or not? because I could just get someone else to do it." I said as she began to get that conversation was over.
"Oh, yes, come in." She said as she turned around and walked back into the boutique.
I followed her inside and took of my west at that wasn't damaged as much, barely more than just a few scratches, I sat down on a chair and looked around.
Rarity cleared her throat getting my attention "Darling, I need your outfit to make a new one."
I looked at her "Miss Rarity are you asking me to strip my clothes off?" I said with a playful smile.
Rarity instantly blushed "No no, I... Just need your outfit to make a new one."
I chuckled a little "I was just making a joke nothing to worry about and I can take care of that anyway."
Ok this is going to hurt
I snapped my fingers and instantly a big headache came to the world, but I had a new hoodie and cargo shorts on under my outfit, so I took off my assassin clothes.
"Ok mr..." Rarity let the end of that sentence hang.
"Kenway, Edward Kenway." I said kinda like James Bond.
"Ah, mr. Kenway now just give me that outfit and I'll begin immediately." Rarity said as she took my outfit and put it on a table.
"Thanks and when you are done just give me a prize." I said as I walked out of the boutique.
I walked through the streets and saw a music shop with a vinyl record and a cello as a sign on the front, I walked over and entered the shop just to look at some of the stuff they had...
"Hello sir, can I help you with anything?” I turned and saw… Octavia.
“Oh, no I’m quite fine, I’m just looking.” I said with a smile.
“Ok, I’ll be over at the counter if you need me.” She said and walked over to the counter.
I began walking around the shop looking at different instruments, like: a guitar, a cello and a DJ table, I kept walking around and then I saw a grand piano, I immediately flew at it and sat down opening it.
“Uh, sir you shouldn’t touch the instruments.” Octavia said as she walked up to me.
I turned my head “Can I touch it if I play a bit for you?” I asked looking stoked to play.
“Fine... but if you want to touch it again please buy it.” She told me as she took a chair and sat down.
I looked at the tangents and put my hands on it and let my mind find one of the songs I had practised.
When I was done I turned and looked at Octavia to see what she thought, she had her mouth open and looked at me with a look that said confused and in awe.
“Heh, what did you think?” I asked scratching the back of my head.
“That. Was. Amazing! Where did you learn that?” Octavia asked “But how do you know Vinyl’s nickname for me?”
My eyes became a few sizes larger, not that she could see that because of my aviators “Heh, I heard her say it when I saw you two walking down the street.” Trying that excuse.
“Ok makes sense, but where did you learn to play like that?” She asked.
“I kinda took a few lessons, then quit and learned it on my own.” I said.
I didn’t quit, I didn’t have enough money to keep going… stupid parents.
“But now I want to buy it.” I said and pulled out my big sack of bits from my backpack.
“ok just this way.” She said and lead me to the counter “Ok so the piano costs a hundred bits. But I want to sell it to you for seventyfive.”
“Ok.” I said as I took the sack and grabbed one hundred and fifty bits and put it on the counter.
“Um, sir this is too many.” She said and eyed the bits.
“ha, I don’t care, take ‘em I have enough already.” I said and turned around after putting the sack back into my backpack “oh, and could you have it here? I don’t have my own place yet so yeah.”
“Sure just come get it at some point.” She said and put the bits into the register.
I walked out the door and began walking in the direction of the Everfree forest… just to take a stroll.
