2:54 AM - void.48.: ...?

2:54 AM - void.48.: (Can you hear me?)

2:54 AM - Gamer Princess Luna: ...que?

2:55 AM - void.48.: (That's strange. I never thought someone would ever answer back.)

2:55 AM - void.48.: (They can't understand me.)

2:56 AM - Gamer Princess Luna: je comprens vous. voulez vous parle avec moi?

2:57 AM - void.48.: (I don't understand the language you're speaking. Oh well...)

2:57 AM - Gamer Princess Luna: I speak english as well

2:57 AM - void.48.: (My name is Deemo.)

2:57 AM - void.48.: (It's a pleasure to meet you.)

2:58 AM - Gamer Princess Luna: My name is Princess Luna of Equestria. Pleasure is mine.

2:59 AM - void.48.: -I hold out my hand-

2:59 AM - Gamer Princess Luna: *I present my hoof, cocking my head slightly at your hand* what are those...things at the end?

3:00 AM - void.48.: (They are called fingers. they helps me play the piano better.)

3:01 AM - Gamer Princess Luna: so...like a dragon's claws, correct?

3:01 AM - void.48.: (You could put it that way.)

3:02 AM - Gamer Princess Luna: I...believe I understand. are they flexible?

3:02 AM - void.48.: (To an extent. They can stretch over to the other keys of the piano.)

3:04 AM - Gamer Princess Luna: do you use them for anything else? we ponies use magic or hooves and tails for such tasks.

3:04 AM - void.48.: (I do not use them for anything else.)

3:05 AM - Gamer Princess Luna: hath thou ever tried?

3:05 AM - void.48.: (There is no need.)

3:06 AM - void.48.: (Actually, no. I do some other things as well, like reading books, sorting sheet music...)

3:07 AM - void.48.: (I just haven't really thought of it.)

3:08 AM - Gamer Princess Luna: have you ever tried moving objects with your 'fingers'? writing?

3:08 AM - void.48.: (To make music.)

3:10 AM - void.48.: -I nervously look around, not used to the new environment. I had been... wherever I was, for who knows how long. All I had was the Masked, but she never did say much to me-

3:10 AM - void.48.: (I don't understand...)

3:10 AM - void.48.: (How did I get here?)

3:12 AM - Gamer Princess Luna: well, I recited an old spell I found in the Canterlot Archives, where we are now , and....suddenly you were here.

3:13 AM - void.48.: (...I see.)

3:14 AM - Gamer Princess Luna: where do you hail from Deemo?

3:15 AM - void.48.: (I do not know. And come to think of it, I never bothered to ask myself that.)

3:15 AM - Gamer Princess Luna: hath thou...forgotten, or enver known?

3:16 AM - void.48.: (I've never known.)

3:17 AM - Gamer Princess Luna: well, thou art currently in Canterlot, Equestria. Inside the Royal Archives in Canterlot Castle.

3:18 AM - void.48.: (I've never heard of such a place. Or any place, for that matter.)

3:18 AM - Gamer Princess Luna: well, t'is where you are now.

3:19 AM - void.48.: (Well, I suppose you intend on sending me back? I have no business here.)

3:20 AM - Gamer Princess Luna: doest thou...wish to return home? we;ve only jsut met, and I was most curious about you. I mean, all I've even heard of you is your voice. you are inside a...box.

3:22 AM - void.48.: (I'm not so sure if I do want to return. It has been lonely, all of that time 'there.')

3:23 AM - Gamer Princess Luna: I suppose you may remain in Equestria, provided you mean us no harm.

3:24 AM - void.48.: (I do not wish to harm anyone.)

3:25 AM - Gamer Princess Luna: if I may ask, what is your cutie mark?

3:25 AM - void.48.: (Cutie...mark?)

3:27 AM - Gamer Princess Luna: well you see, when we ponies learn of our special talent, what we are best at and what we wish to do the rest of our lives, we magically acquire a mark on our stifle. *I turn to show mine, a crescent moon with a black background* I raise and set the moon, guide ponies in their dreams, and am a Princess with all duites it requires.

3:28 AM - void.48.: (I do not have one.)

3:29 AM - void.48.: -I examine your mark for a moment, before twisting to look at my back and sides. Nothing-

3:29 AM - Gamer Princess Luna: so you are like the donkies and cows here. They cannot acquire cutie marks either.

3:29 AM - Gamer Princess Luna: what is your special ability? you mentioned piano before?

3:31 AM - void.48.: (Yes. I always play music to pass the time. If I had a special ability, I would guess that would be it.)

3:31 AM - Gamer Princess Luna: *I nod* So, would you be comfortable stepping out and allowing me to see you? I am most curious...

3:33 AM - void.48.: (Alright.) -I cautiously move out of the box and stand-

3:34 AM - Gamer Princess Luna: (feel free to discribe. I have no idea what you're talking about. lol)

3:34 AM - void.48.: ((Look at my picture.))

3:36 AM - Gamer Princess Luna: *I look you over, realizing you stood on only two legs and lacked and hooves, horn, or wings. All I saw were those... things you'd poked out of the box earlier - 'fingers'?* I...see. Well, what shall we do now?

3:37 AM - Gamer Princess Luna: can thou fly or use magic? *I spark my horn anc cause the blue magic to coat its surface, performing a simple levitation spell on a nearby glass

3:39 AM - void.48.: (No, I cannot do either.) -I look at the floating glass, my curiosity piqued-

3:40 AM - Gamer Princess Luna: *I nod, cocking my head at you* Do you require water? *I offer the glass to you, holding it in front of you.*

3:42 AM - Gamer Princess Luna: ( unrelated, I think you'd like this : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oawB_k-YwPc)

3:42 AM - void.48.: (No, but the gesture is appreciated.) -I had read about water in a few of the books Masked had, but never actually saw it. I stare into it and see my reflection-

3:44 AM - Gamer Princess Luna: *I nod, pulling the water away from you and to myself. Realizing I'm parched, I lift the glass to my muzzle and tilt my head back, drinking.*

3:45 AM - void.48.: -I tilt my head to the side as you drink. All of this was very new to me- (What does water do for you?)

3:46 AM - Gamer Princess Luna: Well, we, and most creatures in our world, require water to live. without it, we will die.

3:46 AM - void.48.: -I stay silent, processing what I just heard-

3:49 AM - Gamer Princess Luna: *I give a small nervous smile, my eyes shifting a bit*

3:49 AM - void.48.: (Oh, I'm sorry. I just had a sudden loss for words.)

3:50 AM - Gamer Princess Luna: *I nod* what has you so puzzled, Deemo?

3:51 AM - void.48.: (It's just that all of this feels so strange. One moment, I'm sitting down, practicing, and then the next I'm here. Everything's so different.)

3:52 AM - Gamer Princess Luna: *I nod, myself indeed perplexed by this...creature?* No offense is intended but...what exactly are you?

3:53 AM - void.48.: (I'm just as unknown to you as to myself.)

3:53 AM - Gamer Princess Luna: so you know not what you are, nor where you come from?

3:54 AM - void.48.: (Yes, as unlikely as it may sound.)

3:55 AM - Gamer Princess Luna: *I nod slowly, never having heard of something like this - this complete absence of self concept.* I...see. So your name is Deemo and you play the piano and compose music. Is this all you know of yourself?

3:55 AM - void.48.: (That is all.)

3:56 AM - Gamer Princess Luna: do you have any requirements to live? food, water, air?

3:56 AM - void.48.: (I do not think so.)

3:57 AM - Gamer Princess Luna: *I again nod slowly, with this indeed being very strange to me. I read a screll that was supposed to teleport my to Fillydelphia, and instead I'm taking to some thin, black bipedial figure!*

3:57 AM - Gamer Princess Luna: scroll*

3:59 AM - void.48.: -I look at the princess before me, deep in thought- 'Perhaps this could a new beginning. A fresh start.'

4:00 AM - Gamer Princess Luna: *I feel and hear my stomach growling, realizing that it was about dinner time.*

4:00 AM - void.48.: (What's that sound?) -I

4:00 AM - void.48.: *remove -I*\

4:01 AM - Gamer Princess Luna: *I giggle slightly, unable to help myself.* T'is only my stomach, one of my organs, telling me I require nutrition. It's time for me to go eat.

4:03 AM - void.48.: (Oh.) -I wait for you to give me order, shuffling a little-

4:04 AM - Gamer Princess Luna: *I shuffle my wings, before nodding to you.* Come, follow me I suppose. I should probably introduce you to my sister and co-ruler anyhow.

4:05 AM - Gamer Princess Luna: *I then move at a walk, looking abck to you*

4:06 AM - void.48.: -I follow behind, still looking around at the new atmosphere- (Will they understand me?)

4:07 AM - void.48.: (In 'that' place, no one could understand me. So I used music to try and let them understand.)

4:07 AM - void.48.: (Somehow, it did work.)

4:08 AM - void.48. is now Online.

4:08 AM - Gamer Princess Luna: *we finally arrive in the main hallway, which I continue to follow until we reach the throne room. I notice my sister is not on her throne, indeed having heard the dinner bell ring moments ago, and proceed to the dining room. My mouth watered at the scent of dinner, my stomach reciprocating with a rather loud growl.* Come, my sister should be in here.

4:11 AM - Gamer Princess Luna: (you may also enjoy this : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hUu08B0dWLU)

4:11 AM - void.48.: -I obey and trail behind. My eyes wander, looking at the various items. All of which, I had never seen before- (I hope I'm not intruding on anything.)

4:11 AM - void.48.: (I'm uninvited.)

4:13 AM - Gamer Princess Luna: I shake my head, with nothing indeed ahving been planned past some very minor conversations in Fillydelphia, hence why I'd used the scroll.* Neigh, there is nothing major happening this eve. You are not intruding. Come, my sister is right up here. CELESTIA! We have a guest.

4:16 AM - void.48.: -I see a taller pony arrive in response to your call. Not sure if I should talk or not, I stay as stiff as a board, a little nervous. Though fortunately, it wasn't visible on my face-

4:18 AM - Gamer Princess Luna: *I watch my sister stiffen in response to the being I brought with me, her head cocking at an angle I've never seen from her. I see her slowly approaching it, looking it over with her magic lighting her horn, undoubtedly ready to attack if need be.* Sister, this is Deemo. He's harmless, and...well, I believe I've summoned him accidentally.

4:20 AM - void.48.: -I look at the flashing of her horn, and from earlier, deduced she was preparing to use some sort of magic. Maybe she thought of me as a threat? Her expression was serious, and unnerving-  

4:23 AM - Gamer Princess Luna: *I walk between my sister and the being, seeing her magic intensify and not wanting her to act rashly.* I used an old spell that I though would transport me to Fillydelphia to have that discussion I needed to, but it turned out that it summoned this creature in a box. I spoke with it and apparently it doesn't know what it is or where it is from, but it is named Deemo and can compose and perform for and on the piano.

4:25 AM - void.48.: -I slowly reach out my hand and see her tense again, moving slightly. I bring my hand back down and decide that perhaps it was best just to speak- (Hello. It's nice to meet you.) -I see that my words have little to no effect, her expression only contorting-

4:26 AM - Gamer Princess Luna: *I look to my sister as you spoke, seeing ehr expression unchanged. Almost as if she couldn't understand you...* Sister, he greeted you. Did you not hear?

4:28 AM - void.48.: (...I'm sorry for intruding on your dinner.) -I say, just in case that maybe she was just unresponsive. Maybe only Princess Luna could hear me?-

4:30 AM - Gamer Princess Luna: *My sister's expression remained loosly hostile as well as very confused, as though she knew someone was speaking to her, but couldn't understand it. I noticed her looking to me with the same confused expression, then looking back to you again. I watched her magic deminish until it was gone again, with her clearly not sensing you as a threat anymore. more of a puzzle.

4:30 AM - Gamer Princess Luna: *

4:32 AM - void.48.: -Assuming I was right about her not understanding, I look to you for direction, not sure of what to do-

4:34 AM - Gamer Princess Luna: Celestia? For some reason, only I can understand this creature I suppose. *I look to all the other people in the room, also staring oddly at you when you'd tried to speak to them.* Sister, this being wishes to join our kingdom and become a citizan. *I look to you, hoping you could give them comformation of what I'd said.

4:34 AM - Gamer Princess Luna: confirmation*

4:36 AM - void.48.: -I nod my head slowly, feeling the weight of the stares gazing at me. I start to get a little uncomfortable, feeling pressured somehow- (...Maybe this wasn't such a good idea after all. I think they're... afraid of me.)

4:38 AM - Gamer Princess Luna: *I look to you instead, hoping to tell you why.* Well Deemo, you see, in this world we have beings of all sorts. Some are docile like you, some even very helpful. But too, there are some very hostile entities who want nothing more than to destroy ponies and control us, to harm us. This is why everypony here is uneasy. T'is nothing personal.

4:40 AM - Gamer Princess Luna: (go ahead.)

4:41 AM - void.48.: (I see.) -I say quietly. This wasn't a good idea after all. They see me as some sort of monster...- (I don't think it's a good idea for me to stay any longer. I'm disturbing the peace.)

4:41 AM - void.48.: (I don't want to hurt anyone.)

4:42 AM - Gamer Princess Luna: I know you mean us no harm... *suddenly, I have an idea as I look to the piano in the corner of the dining room, smiling softly as an idea comes to me.* Deemo, why don't you go show them what your talent is, to show them you're not lying.

4:42 AM - Gamer Princess Luna: (repetition. ew)

4:43 AM - void.48.: (I'm not so sure about this, Princess Luna. I've never had to play for anyone like this...) -Their eyes now felt like daggers pointed at me, ready to delve deep into my body if I made a single move-

4:46 AM - Gamer Princess Luna: *I lifted you onto my back, trotting over to the piano and sitting you at the bench. I felt their eyes also focusing on me, but they knew I was trustworthy. Perhaps if I showed them I trusted you and that you weren;t lying, all would be OK?* Go ahead Deemo, play. Or do you require sheet music?

4:48 AM - void.48.: (I can play without the sheets just fine. But if I mess up...) -I let my hands position theirselves in the correct position. In an instant, I remembered the correct notes and octaves, along with the timing of it. It all fit theirselves together like a puzzle-

4:49 AM - void.48.: -I look to you with worry. Though you would never see that on my expression-

4:50 AM - Gamer Princess Luna: *I nod soflty as I see you place your 'fingers' on the keys, assuming you were preparing to play. I gave a comforting smile as I saw you look to me* Go ahead, play for us. You'll do great.

4:52 AM - void.48.: -I then remembered a particular piece, of a fitting name. I gave one last look to the other ponies looking at me, before re-placing my fingers again. And gently, I pressed them down for the first note- (( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oawB_k-YwPc))

4:52 AM - Gamer Princess Luna: (so you did like that, huh?)

4:54 AM - void.48.: -It felt almost mindless to me, how my fingers bent place to place, hands moving here and there, without effort. And in an instant, my fears were washed away, as my thoughts only centered on the sounds-

4:56 AM - Gamer Princess Luna: *I look around as you start playing the soft, sad-sounding song, seeing the ponies uneasy and scared expressions changing to softer expressions of confusion, then nutrality as they saw I wasn't lying and neither were you, with my sister instead lightly smiling to me and wordlessly telling me that she was OK with you now. I continued to listen to the music you produced; such a sad song, but at teh same time so hauntingly beautiful...

4:58 AM - void.48.: -It felt as if only mere seconds had passed, but eventually, I found my hands resting on the keys, not moving anymore. I look up from my hands and to you, then to the other ponies-

4:59 AM - void.48.: ((Whoops, I sent the wrong link!)

4:59 AM - Gamer Princess Luna: ( that's alright, it's still piano. :P)

4:59 AM - void.48.: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RpfQ91VgXrY&list=PL15WJr-Ew0fKZO41iGP0NTgK9WXhqiM-j&index=11))

4:59 AM - void.48.: ((If interested, that was the intention.))

4:59 AM - void.48.: ((Since the title fit.))

5:00 AM - Gamer Princess Luna: (where did this RP come from anyhow?)

5:00 AM - Gamer Princess Luna: (how'd you come up with it?)

5:00 AM - void.48.: ((I started talking as Deemo.))

5:00 AM - void.48.: ((And you came up with it, actually.))

5:00 AM - Gamer Princess Luna: (who is Deemo? and OC you just made?)

5:00 AM - Gamer Princess Luna: (an*)

5:01 AM - void.48.: ((No. He's from the game I'm talking about.))

5:01 AM - void.48.: ((The game is called Deemo.))

5:01 AM - void.48.: ((And he is the supporting main character.))

5:01 AM - Gamer Princess Luna: (...huh.)

5:01 AM - Gamer Princess Luna: (well OK than.)

5:02 AM - void.48.: ((I was actually having fun with this one.))

5:02 AM - void.48.: ((It's different.))

5:02 AM - Gamer Princess Luna: (it is.)

5:04 AM - Gamer Princess Luna: *All the ponies are lightly smiling, then suddenly I hear from my left the shound of hooves hitting the floor in applause. I look to see my sister applauding, then soon after hear the other ponies joining in. Before long, everypony in the room is applauding you.

5:04 AM - Gamer Princess Luna: (shound? sound*)

5:07 AM - void.48.: -I feel a warmth build from my chest as I see the sudden contrast in atmosphere. They were all smiling now, stomping their hooves- 'I guess that means they enjoyed it..'

5:09 AM - Gamer Princess Luna: *I reached up and patted you on the shoulder softly, smiling to you. I saw Celestia approaching, then looking to you again. Upon seeing my touching you and you not reacting with hostility, she nodded to you and asked you to follow her.*

5:13 AM - void.48.: -I follow her lead, wondering what she wanted from me. I look back and see you nod in approval, reassuring me that it was alright-

5:14 AM - Gamer Princess Luna: *I watched Celestia guide you out of the dining room after explaining she had some quick business to attend to, and for the chefs to go ahead and serve. All ponies sat down and were served, but I decided to follow Celestia, to see what she was up to with you.

5:17 AM - Gamer Princess Luna: *We soon arrived in the room in which we did paperwork, watching as Celestia gathered various forms. She then sat a stack of forms in front of you, and I read only the topmost one - "Petition for Immigration/Naturalization to Equestria."

5:19 AM - void.48.: (Oh, thank you, Prin--) -I stopped myself, forgetting that she could not hear me- 'If only there was a way...' -Then, suddenly getting an idea, I look to you- (Could you please tell her I said thank you?)

5:20 AM - Gamer Princess Luna: *I nod, then get an idea myself. It was clear you could read our language, so I offered you a clean piece of paper.* Tell her yourself.

5:22 AM - void.48.: -I smile inwardly and write on the small piece of paper, in cursive and black ink, the words 'Thank you.'- http://dswidigyinq0c.cloudfront.net/gc-templates/9898/9896be6d-86d8-48d5-95e7-7b3caaf6a52f.jpg))

5:23 AM - Gamer Princess Luna: *I see my sister smile widely at seeing that, nodding to you as she sits and waits for you to fill the forms out, with me telling you to only enter what you knew of yourself.*

5:25 AM - void.48.: -After a few minutes of writing, I finally reach the end of the papers and set down my quill, as a way of letting her know I finished-

5:26 AM - Gamer Princess Luna: *Celestia looked through the forms quickly and questioned me as to why so much information was missing. I explained what you had told me, and despite her giving an odd look, she seemed to understand. She smiled and nodded to you again. 'Welcome to Equestria Deemo.' she then said, making me smile.

5:38 AM - void.48.: -I then realized, I hadn't really thought this over. What would happen now? I'm a citizen, yes, but where do I go from here?- (What happens now?)

5:41 AM - Gamer Princess Luna: *I shrug my shoulders, watching as Celestia filed the papers away.* I know not whet destiny awaits you in our land, but I do know one thing. I am FAMISHED! I forget Deemo, do you eat? If so, you are welcome to eat with us.

5:43 AM - void.48.: -I shake my head- (No, I don't eat. The food just... falls through. But I appreciate the offer.)

5:44 AM - Gamer Princess Luna: *I nod, instead offering you to come with us.* At very least, you can be our company. Nothing better than being in the company of royalty to help your budding social life here.

5:46 AM - void.48.: -I nod, complying and following you to the dining hall- (Alright then. Though I have doubts of having a social life... only you can understand me.)

5:47 AM - Gamer Princess Luna: *I smile comfortingly, lifting one of your 'hands' with my magic.* With these, you don't really need to speak to others, do you?

5:47 AM - Gamer Princess Luna: you can speak throught writing or your music.

5:48 AM - void.48.: (Oh, right. I almost forgot. I better start carrying a lot of paper with me now.)

5:49 AM - Gamer Princess Luna: *I levitate over a new notepad, as well as a quill and inkwell to you.* This should get you started.

5:51 AM - void.48.: (Thank you.) -I tuck the items in my shirt's inside pocket-

5:54 AM - Gamer Princess Luna: *I watch as the items seemingly dissapear, but indeed know he may be using some sort of passive magic himself. We soon after arrive in the dining hall again, with me and Celestia taking the end seats. I pull out a chair to mr right to you, offering you to sit.*

5:56 AM - void.48.: -I sit in said chair and fold my arms across my lap, staring at the table. I doubt people would want to get papers during eating, so I decided to wait patiently. I think it was called common courtesy-

6:01 AM - Gamer Princess Luna: *We all eat and talk, with me occasionally turning to Deemo and asking if he was alright. After dinner and dessert were served, we congregated to the sitting room, with after-dinner beverages offered and polite conversation taking place. I looked to you and nodded to the nearby piano, Celestia having insisted on ahving multiple pianos for more formal meetings than this, in which a pianist would constantly be playing it for background music.* Hey, Deemo. Would you like to play for us again? I'm sure everypony would love an encore of your last performance. *As if in agreement, everypony turned to look at you, their gazes soft and inviting now, with some indeed nodding in agreement with what I'd said.

8:16 PM - void.48.: (I should probably leave now then. It's getting late, and I need a place to stay for the night. Could you please show me the way out?)

8:17 PM - void.48.: (I don't want to be a burden, and stay here.)

8:17 PM - Gamer Princess Luna: Thou may stay with me, or thou may stay in a guest bedroom if one is available.

8:17 PM - Gamer Princess Luna: it's no burden at all.

8:18 PM - void.48.: (I'm hesitant on accepting. You've done more than enough for me.)

8:18 PM - Gamer Princess Luna: *I shake my head witha  smile, nodding forward to tell you to follow me.

8:20 PM - void.48.: -I trail behind. I knew would have to repay this somehow- (You're too kind.)

8:21 PM - Gamer Princess Luna: *I move to speak with the pony responible for lodging our guests, out of your hearing range. I am facing you however, and you see my face contort into a disappointed look. I nod, then walk back to you.* All rooms are full...

8:23 PM - void.48.: (That's fine. I can try to find shelter somewhere.)

8:23 PM - void.48.: (I just need one last favor. I'm not sure how to exit.)

8:24 PM - Gamer Princess Luna: *I shake my head* Nonsense. You can lodge in my room.

8:24 PM - void.48. is now Online.

8:26 PM - void.48.: (I appreciate the offer but... I think that's too much. I'd be invading your privacy, and...) -I see your unconvinced expression and try to make more excuses- (...I snore a lot.)

8:28 PM - Gamer Princess Luna: (I cast a bubble around you, then speak, with you unable to hear anything at all. I then drop it the spell.* sound-proof bubble.

8:29 PM - void.48.: (That still does not change the invading privacy part.)

8:30 PM - Gamer Princess Luna: *T'would be no different than inviting a stallion....I mean. It would be no problem, I promise.

8:30 PM - void.48.: (...)

8:31 PM - void.48.: (I'm in debt to you. If there is anything I can do to return the favors you've given, tell me.)

8:31 PM - Gamer Princess Luna: *I nod, leading the way to my room*

8:33 PM - void.48.: (I'll be taking the floor.)

8:34 PM - Gamer Princess Luna: *I shake my head* nonsense. It's freezing out. You can...share my bed. It's nice and warm, and the most comfortable in Equestria!

8:35 PM - void.48.: (Key word: yours. Not mine.)

8:36 PM - Gamer Princess Luna: *I shake my head, insistant on my guest sleeping in a bed, not a floor!* No, come. sleep in my bed this night.

8:37 PM - void.48.: (You really seem to want me there.) -I then realized how strange that sounded, looking down and turning stiff-

8:37 PM - void.48.: (I'm sorry, I didn't mean it that way.)

8:37 PM - Gamer Princess Luna: I just wish for my guest to be comfortable. a floor is not comfortable.

8:37 PM - void.48.: (Excuse me. I'm not used to communicating so much.)

8:38 PM - void.48.: (I'll live.)

8:38 PM - void.48.: (After all, in my world, I do not have a bed.)

8:40 PM - Gamer Princess Luna: *I get comfortable, stretching and removign my regalia. I stand before you bare now but with that having no significance to me, given it was how I always was.

8:40 PM - void.48.: (You see, I have no need for one. I don't sleep.)

8:41 PM - Gamer Princess Luna: *I cock my head slightly, not really understanding that.* do you have no physical needs at all?

8:42 PM - void.48.: (Yes. I have no need of what is usually required to live like you.)

8:43 PM - void.48.: (Like water, food, and sleep... Although, I actually do need one thing.)

8:44 PM - Gamer Princess Luna: oh? do tell. we wll accomidate whatever ti is you need.

8:44 PM - void.48.: (In my world, I always played on my piano, creating new music, practicing, etcetera. I tried to stop, and found myself 'weakening.' Empty.)

8:45 PM - void.48.: (I got sick of the feeling, and continued to play. Short breaks occassionally to just... think.)

8:45 PM - Gamer Princess Luna: *I nod, understanding...

8:46 PM - Gamer Princess Luna: so you must play music.

8:46 PM - void.48.: (Yes.)

8:46 PM - void.48.: (I believe that's what someone would call a curse, but I don't find it negative at all.)

8:47 PM - void.48.: (I feel this sense of fulfillment whenever I play a piece. Like bliss.)

8:48 PM - Gamer Princess Luna: *I nod my head in understanding.* Like many would find having to raise the moon each day a curse in its own way. To quell the nightmares of your subjects and aid them with their like problems. But if you love what you do, t'is not a burden at all.

8:49 PM - Gamer Princess Luna: life*

8:49 PM - void.48.: (...Sorry, I got carried away. You should rest.) -I sit down next to the bed on the floor, arms on my knees. Then I spotted your room's balcony, looking out-

8:54 PM - Gamer Princess Luna: *I notice you looking out my balcony door, apparently intersted in something* You may go and stand outside, if you wish. I would like for you to stay within the castle however. there's no telling how ponies amy react if they see you, a creature they've never before seen.

8:55 PM - void.48.: (...Could I ask that you use that sound spell? I just had an... idea.)

8:56 PM - Gamer Princess Luna: *I nod and cast it around us two* May I ask what?

8:57 PM - void.48.: (You're the only one that can hear me.)

8:58 PM - Gamer Princess Luna: what did you need the sound spell for?

8:58 PM - void.48.: (So maybe if I...) -I lift my hand up, as it stretches and pours out onto the ground like a liquid, and begin to form into a shape. At first, it seemed just like some blob. Then it shifted into the familiar shape of a piano-

8:59 PM - void.48. is now Online.

9:00 PM - Gamer Princess Luna: *It clicks as he morphs into that framiliar shape, nodding softly to him. I move to an open corner of my chamber and light my horn. Seconds later, my horn stops glowing - and in the corner sits the piano from downstairs.*

9:01 PM - void.48.: (This.) -I sit down on the chair and place my hands along the keys of it. I pressed down, and no notes came at first. I hadn't willed it to. And once more I pressed again, this time the air being filled with a chord-

9:12 PM - Gamer Princess Luna: * I smile as I heard the chord play, a G chord.* I think I see what you meant by my sound spell. You may play as long as you please, and as much as I love your music I'd love to listen to you tonight. You may stop playing and leave the bubble at any time, and when you do the spell will end. *I cast the spell around my chamber , hearing  your playing start slowly.*

9:19 PM - void.48.: -I see you settle in beside me as I stare at my piano for a few moments, deep in thought. I had never done anything like what I just did before. I had willed it, for this piano to appear, and it just... happened. Looking at it, I spot a piece of paper that I had failed to notice, recognizing it to be sheet music. I grab it and look at the top: Evolution Era-

9:19 PM - void.48.: http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=jTvjQNSv5k8))

9:21 PM - void.48.: -I look over it and find myself imagining the sounds of the notes, the rhythm, and the correct timing. It felt as if I had already known how to play this piece, despite not-

9:23 PM - void.48.: -Scanning the paper one more time, I nod to myself and let my fingers adjust to the first notes, and press down lightly-

9:25 PM - void.48.: -It was if only a few moments had passed. The piece was easily read from memory now, the sheet music not being necessary anymore. As soon as I played it from start to finish flawlessly, the paper disappeared, a black mist dispersing it from the bottom and morphing back into me-

9:25 PM - void.48.: *from the bottom to the top*

9:27 PM - Gamer Princess Luna: *I stand many hours of dream-scape walking and listening to you play, yawning and stretching my muscles out. It had been a long night last night, a good number of nightmares to quell and life lessons to give - but at least I had your shoothing piano music to enjoy while I worked. I swiftly got up as my internal clock told me the time for the sunrise was nearing. I headed to the balcony before turning back to you, seeing you still playing. I decided to ask if you if you wished to see my perform my own act of art.*

9:27 PM - void.48.: '(I remember Princess Luna mentioning sheet music. So other pieces exist in this world? I notice you move from your bed and look to your direction, waving-

9:28 PM - void.48.: ((So many ideas! :3 ))

9:29 PM - Gamer Princess Luna: Deemo, would you like to see me raise the moon? *I asked, awaiting your response. I looked to see the sun starting to peak at the horizon, knowing it was time. *

9:29 PM - void.48.: ((Please save these.))

9:29 PM - Gamer Princess Luna: I need to do it now though

9:29 PM - Gamer Princess Luna: (I am.

9:30 PM - void.48.: (It would be an honor.) -I then realized I was still in the spell and stepped out, bursting the bubble. I repeated the same words-

9:34 PM - Gamer Princess Luna: *I nod and invite you outside with a 'come hither' nod in front of me, stepping out onto the balcony. I spread my wings as magic surgs to my horn and I can feel it coursing through my body. I then flap my wings and take flight, naturally aligning myself with my Moon. I slowly lower myself to the ground again and the Moon follows, sinking below the horizen as I landed. I closed my wings and my horn lost its glow, my duty complete.

9:36 PM - Gamer Princess Luna: (going pee. feel free to continue)

9:39 PM - void.48.: '(I've never seen the sun or moon before.)' -I keep my thoughts to myself, not wanting to distract you. I watch the whole process, and see you land. I decide that this was a good time to speak- (So, this is what you were referring to by raising and lowering the moon.)

9:39 PM - void.48.: (Thank you for letting me watch.)

9:52 PM - Gamer Princess Luna: *I nod, then turning to watch my Sister raise the sun from her own balcony.* Look, Celestia is raising the Sun. *I said, pointing a hoof in her direction.* Try not to look directly at it. I do not know if you have eyes that can be harmed by ultraviolet radiation, but best to be cautious.

9:52 PM - Gamer Princess Luna: um... you're not harmed by light, are you?

9:54 PM - void.48.: (I'm not. At least, I don't think so.) -I look at the direction you were pointing at and see Princess Celestia repeat the same process you did, though reversed, with the sun rising-

9:54 PM - void.48. is now Online.

9:57 PM - Gamer Princess Luna: *I smile as I watch my sister raise the sun, focusing more on her than the sun itself. I smiled as I saw her completing her special ability as I had.

10:00 PM - void.48.: -I watch with you from start to end, my piano and it's chair fading back into me as we watched. After a short while, I see her land, done with the rising of the sun-

10:03 PM - void.48.: -I am unable to finish my sentence. I was not sure. Something felt familiar, but I could not quite narrow it down- (Nevermind.)

10:04 PM - Gamer Princess Luna: *With the daily motions out of the way, I decided to complete my OTHER morning tasks* Pardon me, I have some... 'business' I need to attend to.

10:04 PM - Gamer Princess Luna: *I grab my regalia before entering the restroom*

10:06 PM - void.48.: (Alright. I won't get in your way.) -I stand still at the balcony, unmoving. The view was quite nice- '(I wonder... where will I go from here?)'

10:09 PM - Gamer Princess Luna: (oh, Luna is night prince... lol)

10:09 PM - Gamer Princess Luna: (princess)

10:09 PM - Gamer Princess Luna: (I'm a derp.)

10:11 PM - void.48.: ((What exactly is nightmare?))

10:12 PM - void.48.: ((You talked about it as if it was an object.))

10:12 PM - Gamer Princess Luna: (nightmare? in what context)

10:12 PM - Gamer Princess Luna: (oh

10:13 PM - void.48.: ((Well, there is this particular song I like. And I need the correct opportunity/situation to present it.))

10:13 PM - void.48.: ((And I was thinking either he is somehow affected by nightmare, or challenged by another pianist/musician.))

10:14 PM - Gamer Princess Luna: (far as I know, it's a formless creature that is symbiotic. If it attaches to a host, It controls them, but in return it grants them great power and fulfills the bargin it made with them to make them agree to host it.)

10:17 PM - void.48.: ((I can try to steer it.))

10:18 PM - void.48.: ((I'm not doing it if you don't want to.))

10:18 PM - Gamer Princess Luna: (Just choose an idea and I'll roll with it. we spent all night listening to you play and chatting)

10:18 PM - void.48.: ((Are you getting bored? :\ ))

10:19 PM - void.48.: ((Well, it's your turn. Just standing here at the balcony, waiting.))

10:19 PM - Gamer Princess Luna: (no, I'm just not sure how to proceed. lol)

10:20 PM - void.48.: *be

10:23 PM - Gamer Princess Luna: *I step out of the bathroom wearing my slippers, crown, and chestpiece. I also feel much more 'relieved', but don't show that.* I need to attend to some royal business before I go to sleep. Um, as for you... -I say, debating what to do next- Perhaps you could come with me? I can introduce you to some other ponies. It would seem you caused quite a stir at our dinner last night, and some very important ponies wish to learn more about you and possibly even...well, hire you!

10:26 PM - void.48.: (I see. Alright, I'll follow.) -I flashback over to the other day, playing in front of the other ponies. It was a nice first experience- '(Hire? For a job, I assume. Hm...)'

10:29 PM - void.48. is now Away.

10:29 PM - Gamer Princess Luna: *I nod, leading the way to the main hall* yes. here in equestria, we all work together to keep the economy going. Everypony has their own special ability, and it would seem yours is music. I have a few ready and willing ponies who have been looking for a good pianist for quite a while. It seems you will fit the bill perfectly.

10:31 PM - void.48.: (I think you're overestimating, princess. I've only played once.) -I lift up one finger, continuing to walk behind you-

10:32 PM - void.48.: *overestimating me

10:33 PM - Gamer Princess Luna: *I shake my head, looking over to you as I walk.* You played all night with me listening. I know they're going to love your talent. I just know it... ah, we've arrived. *we are standing in the throne room, with a number of ponies awaiting my entrance.*

10:34 PM - Gamer Princess Luna: Ahem, I am here to hold the first portion of day court. Please, step forth - I said as I went and took my throne, indicating to you then the spot next to my throne.*

10:35 PM - void.48.: -I glance at all of them, each of them having a different reaction. It was clear I was the odd one out. I obey, taking the spot you pointed to-

10:41 PM - Gamer Princess Luna: *from the croud we hear asked 'is that the being who played the piano at your dinner? I heard hw was perfect.', to which I smile and nod. Various other questions of the same nature are asked before the pony asking them steps forth. He is an earth-pony stallion, light blue with a mid-shaded blue mane and tail. He approaches, then smiles and bows to me. After being permitted to rise, he looks to you and smiles to you, offering a hoof. 'Pleasure to meet you, I'm Noteworthy.'

10:44 PM - void.48.: -I nervously take his hoof and shake it, before quickly taking out the notepad, quill, and inkwell you gave me. I write nearly in cursive and tear off a piece of the paper and present it- "Nice to meet you too."

10:54 PM - Gamer Princess Luna: *I nod for him to continue and he does, explaining that he has a band and really needs a pianist for it, as his last one left for greater persuits. He says that he was at the dinner that night, and heard you play. He compliments you, saying you were the best pianist he's ever heard, even if it was only one song. He then offered you to audition for his band, promising to pay you a fair rate of bits.*

10:56 PM - void.48.: -After listening to him, I nod, dipping my quill in ink and writing again. Why not? No reason not to, and he seemed like a nice per-- pony. I hand him another piece of ripped paper- "I don't see why not. I agree to your terms." -I also added a smiley face to reinforce it-

10:58 PM - void.48. is now Online.

10:59 PM - Gamer Princess Luna: * He smiled and offered for you to follow him, to which I gave you a smile and waved to you, then letting you both know you were dismissed. I asked you to come visit some time, and secretly, I realized I'd developed somewhat of a fondness for you. Such a talented, well mannered....being. I then resumed my duties, letting you start your new life in my and my sister's land.

11:01 PM - void.48. is now Online.

11:03 PM - void.48.: -I waved back, a little sad at parting. I saw you as a very good friend, and very significant, considering you brought me here. Knowing you were the only one who could hear me, I said across the room- Farewell, and until we meet again.

11:04 PM - void.48.: -I quickly write a smiley face on a piece of paper and hold it up as we left the room, wondering if you saw it-

11:05 PM - void.48. is now Online.

11:06 PM - Gamer Princess Luna: *I smiled as I saw the smile on the paper and give him one of my own before he left my chamber, hoping I'd hear again from him soon. I then redumed my court, calling the next in line to state his needs.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

11:23 PM - void.48.: -I follow Noteworthy. He leads me to his band, and I greet all of them, though their reactions weren't exactly what you could call overwhelmingly positive. I could see their expressions of fear, nervousness, and distraught. I start to get cold feet, writing a note to Noteworthy- "I don't think I'm welcome here."

11:26 PM - Noteworthy: * I look to my band mates, seeing them uneasy at this being. I was also somewhat uneasy of it, but if it was indeed indoctrinated into Equestrie by the princesses themselves and allowed to stay at the castle at night, I believed it could be trusted.* Guys, chill out. It's cool. *The band relaxes to various degrees, but still look uneasy. I guide you to the piano, asking you to play for us and show my mates you were as good as I told them you were.*

11:34 PM - void.48.: -I nod and position myself properly, a little nervous. They all stared at me, eyes judging and merciless. Like it was all some kind of bad dream... dream...-

11:35 PM - void.48.: -I feel my hands confidently lift up to their respective positions, as I hum to myself a little, though no one could hear me- '(I've just the thing.)'

11:39 PM - Noteworthy: *I watch all my bandmates' expressions instantly change when he started playing, as though amazed such beauty could come from such a strange thing. When the song ended, all were stunned for a moment, before then giving a few clops of their hooves on the ground in applause, with me joining in. I discussed with them quietly for a moment, but we all unanimously agreed* You're hired, uh...what's your name. Hey, what is your name?

11:40 PM - void.48.: -I take a piece of paper and write it down, cursive as always- "Deemo."

11:41 PM - Noteworthy: *I read the note and nod to it, bringing forth a piece of paper: a contract.* Sign this, then you're in.

11:41 PM - Noteworthy: you're in, Deemo*

11:42 PM - void.48.: ((Some conflict could spice things up.))

11:43 PM - void.48.: -I dip my quill in the inkwell and sign my name, handing back the paper-

11:52 PM - Noteworthy: *I accept the contract, noticing a band mate come up to me....late as always. As he sees the contract in my hooves and looks to you, he snaps at me, demanding the contract be canceled until he gives his consent. Typical of him, always thinking he was the band leader when he was just recruited a few months ago.

11:55 PM - void.48.: -I see the conflict and wince at his anger, his scowls directed at me. I hand him a slip of paper in hopes that it would calm him down somewhat- "I'm sorry for intruding on your band. I didn't intend on making anyone mad."

11:55 PM - void.48.: -I write again, handing another slip of paper before he could say anything- "If it will solve the problem, I'll leave."

11:59 PM - Noteworthy: *I read the papers as you gave them to him, shaking my head at him. I then grabbed the papers from him and threw them to the floor, stomping on them.* Lazy Daze, you're lucky you're still in this band after your last ' performance'...or lack thereof. We waited an extra twenty minutes, then finally ahd to call off the whole gig because your lazy flank coulnd't get out of bed! -I then turn to you, smiling softly and apologetically) Sorry, Lazy here doesn't know that he doesn't lead the band apparently... -I turn to scowl at him, seeing him shy back a bit once put into place- Besides Deemo, you're on contract with us. -I hold my smile, putting a hoof on your shoulder- ...and it's going to be great.

12:02 AM - void.48.: -I quickly fear for another conflict. I had my doubts that Lazy would back down permanently. I nod at you, as I glance at Lazy briefly- '(I'll have to speak to him personally later.)'

12:11 AM - Noteworthy: *I go and retrieve my instrument, and tell the others to as well, picking up my own saxophone.* Hey Deemo, take the piano. There are a few sheets on there I'd like you to play along with us with. An arangement  written by Belle Symphony here. *I nod to a light-blue-colored mare next to the harp, with her giving you a smile and wave.*

12:13 AM - void.48.: -I wave back and take position, looking at the sheet music before me. I scan the paper quickly, eyeing the time, rests, and the more complex rhythms that caught my attention-

12:19 AM - Noteworthy: *I look over my own instrument and make sure everypony....everyone else was ready as well. I caught a stink-eye from Lazy, but gave him a glare back, with him shrinking back slightly and picking up his violin in his magic.* Ready Deemo? Everypony?

12:22 AM - void.48.: -I nod slowly, as I feel the sheet music sink in. I see the notes come to life, short wisps of void flowing from the paper and into me, my hands immediately knowing where to start and how to progress-

12:25 AM - Noteworthy: (nvm me saying instrument earlier.)

12:28 AM - void.48.: -I let my hands rest on the keys as Noteworth counts. After a few swishes, the song finally begins with me starting off the intro. As if I had played and known this song all along, the noted chain effortlessly, with the correct speed, strength, and "charm," as I like to put it-

12:28 AM - void.48.: ((Nice pick.))

12:28 AM - void.48.: ((I like how it is midway.))

12:35 AM - Noteworthy: *I conduct the song, watching and hearing the perfect cadance that the piano adds to it, what we'd been missing for so long. I hear each chord from the piano perfectly played, as though Deemo had practiced it for many months despite only having seen it just now. I was amazed, quite honestly, that he was such a quick learner.*

12:36 AM - void.48.: -My hands deftly move from position to position flawlessly, the motions all swift, yet smooth- '(1,2,3,4...)' -I count the rests and flow onto the next stanza, this part supposedly being complex- '(And crescendo...!)'

12:37 AM - Noteworthy: *I hear as we approach the crescendo, knowing that this next part was mostly focused on the piano. I hoped Deemo could handle it...*

12:40 AM - void.48.: -As your wand flicks the last count of the measure rest, I hit the keys dead center, the notes' volume exponentially increasing, the entire line flooded with tricks of half rests and connected quarter notes... which surprisingly did not come as much of a challenge-

12:42 AM - Noteworthy: *I can't help but smile as I hear him perfectly performing the solo, the rest of the band indeed watching in awe as only the piano was played during this part. Even Lazy was watching with his jaw lowered and his mouth slightly opened.*

12:44 AM - void.48.: -As I finished my part, I looked up from my stand and found everyone staring at me- '(Oh no... Had I messed up a major note?)' -I rub the back of my head sheepishly, afraid that maybe I wasn't doing as well as I thought I was-

12:48 AM - void.48. is now Online.

12:49 AM - Noteworthy: *As you finish, I smile to you and nod, letting you know you'd done great. While the others give their congratulations, I watched Lazy toss his instrument to the ground and turn, seeing an angry expression on his face. I sigh, but then walk up to you, ignoring that annoying stallion...* You did perfectly. How did you do that without practice? *I asked, knowing that the rest of the band had indeed planned it for months, but hadn't practiced it with a live peinist, only a recording.*

12:51 AM - void.48.: -I give a slip of paper- "Luck."

12:55 AM - Noteworthy: *I shake my head.* Didn't sound like luck. It sounded like this is your special talent...

12:55 AM - void.48.: -I write once more- "First impressions are not always accurate."

12:56 AM - void.48.: "But thank you."

12:58 AM - Noteworthy: *I nodded slowly, but didn't really believe it. I knew this being had the ability to play piano like a maestro, and was instantly glad I'd brought him aboard.* Well, that was great. Let's take it again from the...nevermind. Lazy is gone again... *I head teh other three ponies sigh, with Belle indeed facehoofing I then heard the others start to speak: 'Again?' 'This is the third time this week!' 'Why don't you get rid of the free-loading pompus ass.'

12:59 AM - Noteworthy: *heard the*

12:59 AM - Noteworthy: (ass = donkey. :3)

12:59 AM - void.48.: -I quickly stand up and head to the exit, hoping to catch a glimpse of Lazy. Without doubt, this could evolve into conflict if left alone-

1:02 AM - void.48.: *further conflict

1:02 AM - Noteworthy: *I watched him leave, undoubtedly persuing Lazy. I followed behind but keep back, trying to prevent him from noticing me trailing him. It's not that I didn't trust him, but more that I didn't trust Lazy...*

1:04 AM - void.48.: -I luckily catch him before he turns a corner, hoping he would turn around and see me. I couldn't call out, and touching him was probably the worst option-

1:07 AM - Noteworthy: * I watch as Deemo silently follows behind Lazy, indeed not making a sound. I hope my own quiet hoof-clops didn't give me away, not knowing this being's senses.*

1:08 AM - void.48.: -Eventually Lazy does turn around, seeing me. I see his expression change into one of fury, my presence clearly not welcome. I stop and stand still as he turns to face me- ((You want me to do this or...?))

1:10 AM - void.48.: ((As in, Lazy's part.))

1:12 AM - Noteworthy: *I watched as Lazy suddenly turned - then bucked Demo hard in the chest, watching Deemo slam hard against the wall. I instantly felt my fury welling as I saw him turn and start to berate you, calling you 'worthless' and 'wishing you were never brought here'. I knew he was simply jealous of you, but acting with violence was no way to respond to someone more practiced than you at something.*

1:14 AM - void.48.: -I accept the beating. After all, fighting wouldn't exactly help the situation. I stand up, only to be knocked down again. I look up into his eyes and only stare, before taking out a piece of paper-

1:15 AM - void.48.: -Slowly, I wrote- "I'm sorry."

1:16 AM - void.48.: -I always wondered how pain felt. I could not be hurt physically. I was basically a shadow. But his words did sting-

1:17 AM - void.48.: ((I don't think Deemo can be hurt physically.))

1:22 AM - void.48.: ((I was actually thinking that if someone were to actually try to hit him, they would just go through. But we can stick with this.))

1:22 AM - Noteworthy: (he can be a solid mass, but invulnerable to physical attacks)

1:22 AM - Noteworthy: *As soon as the second blow is landed, I take off at a gallop, and seconds later Lazy looks up just as I plow into him just as he rose his hoof again as you were trying to write. I slammed my hoof against his muzzle  and held him down as he tried to hit me and force me off of him. I was much larger and stronger than him, with him a fat, short and lazy "stallion" who looked more like a colt. After him screaming obscenities at me and Deemo for a number of moments, he finally gave in and went slack, realizing he was not going to win this battle.*

1:25 AM - void.48.: -I stay seated, watching you hold him down. I felt something run down my cheek- (A tear...) -I said outloud. It didn't matter anyways. Finally, after a few moments of staring at the ground, I get up-

1:29 AM - Noteworthy: *I finally let up the ungrateful foal as he stopped fighting and went silent, with him standing there looking dazed and with a tear streaming down his muzzle. I then told him to get his worthless flank out of here, that he was never to show his face around here again. If he ever did, security would haul him right back out again and I would press charges. I watcehd him get up and walk away with a light limp, with me apparently having hurt more than his pride. With a huff, I  turned to you and noticed you were standing already, looking to the ground.* I'm sorry about that. He was always the odd foal int eh herd here, always thinking he was the best when he could barely play the keyboard better than my filly...and she's only two!"

1:30 AM - Noteworthy: in the*

1:32 AM - void.48.: -I stay silent, not looking directly at you. It was only my first actual day in this world, and I was already causing problems. Had I not arrived, all of this could have been avoided...-

1:33 AM - void.48.: -I tear off a piece of paper- "Maybe it wasn't such a good idea inviting me here."

1:36 AM - Noteworthy: *I sigh sadly, putting a comforting hoof on your shoulder.* Lazy was just as his name suggests, lazy. He's never been a team player, and the only reason I hired him on was because he was a friend of my friend and I afterwards had no reason to get rid of him. He was always late, always played his parts incorrectly, and always demanded the best of everything but gave nothing back. I've been looking for a reason to get rid of him for quite a while. I'm really sorry he called you all those names. He was only letting his frustrations for his own shortcomings on you.

1:32 AM - void.48.: -I stay silent, not looking directly at you. It was only my first actual day in this world, and I was already causing problems. Had I not arrived, all of this could have been avoided...-

1:33 AM - void.48.: -I tear off a piece of paper- "Maybe it wasn't such a good idea inviting me here."

1:36 AM - Noteworthy: *I sigh sadly, putting a comforting hoof on your shoulder.* Lazy was just as his name suggests, lazy. He's never been a team player, and the only reason I hired him on was because he was a friend of my friend and I afterwards had no reason to get rid of him.

I'm really sorry he called you all those names. He was only letting his frustrations for his own shortcomings on you.

1:38 AM - void.48.: -I decide not to say anything, hiding the notepad in my shirt pocket and staying still. I was hoping things would end on a better note, but that wasn't the case-

1:41 AM - Noteworthy: *I sigh again, knowing I'd ahve to deal with the reprocussions of this, but also knowing that I had been acting in defense of another. I'd also need to find another keyboard player, but that wouldn't be too hard.* "It's OK, really. Please, come with me. I need to dismiss the band for today."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

3:41 PM - void.48.: (I wonder if anyone else can hear me...)

4:06 PM - void.48.: (Sometimes, I feel sad, knowing no one can hear me.)

4:24 PM - void.48.: -I turn my head, looking towards the moon out the window. I had luckily been able to get the last room in this inn, and for a cheap amount of bits. I then remembered Princess Luna, and how she brought down the room. Showed me kindness- '(Hm...)'

7:33 PM - Princess Luna: *I look out to my moon as I carefuly re-arrange a few stars, smiling softly as I do my duty. I find myself tinking about Deemo, wondering how he was doing. Knowing he never slept, I grabbed a quill and scroll and began writing: Dear Deemo...

7:34 PM - Princess Luna: *A few minutes later, I sent the letter, basicaly a simple greeting and asking of how he was, how the band turned out, and so on. I then focused my locater magic and found his location, sending the letter to float right next to him.

7:52 PM - void.48.: -As I looked out the window, I saw something approaching, coming closer. Eventually, I saw it was a letter. It landed on the window's frame. I stand up from my piano and pick it up, and glance at the signature from the bottom. Princess Luna...-

7:53 PM - void.48.: -I then quickly went to my desk and started to write, until I noticed- '(I don't know the castle's address.)'

7:55 PM - void.48.: '(I guess that would have to wait for another time...)'

10:03 PM - void.48.: -takes out a book with a fancy pony on the cover with a top hat and monocle-

10:03 PM - void.48.: (How to be a Gentlecolt.)

10:26 PM - void.48.: -The sun was rising. I had made it a daily activity to watch the sun rise, always reminding me of the time I saw the princesses do their respective jobs- '(What is there to do...?)' -I look around my room and see an odd box looking thing, with what seemed to be glass in the middle. There were also a few other shapes on it, like... an engravement? I press on the circle and a moving picture shows on the screen, as if something was alive in it- '(Hm...)'

10:29 PM - void.48.: -Intrigued, I watched for a few moments, before pressing in the same circle I had previously, turning off the moving ponies. What other contraptions were here? Looking around more, I see a door. I hadn't bothered to check it when I first entered the room. Upon opening it, I saw three more odd objects. One was a statue that conducted water. The other did the opposite, taking away water. And the third did the same as the first, water emerging in sprinkled form- '(I wonder what all of this is for?)'

10:33 PM - void.48.: -I exited the room shortly, puzzled and also excited. This world had so many new things I had never thought would have existed- '(Perhaps I'll go out to town.)' -I go to the mirror placed outside of the water room and adjust my tie, before finally setting out-

10:36 PM - void.48.: '(Band rehearsal isn't until later, so I have time to explore a little.)' -I exit my room and close the door behind me, locking it with the key provided to me. As I headed towards the exit, I saw many ponies stare at me strangely. No surprise, as I hadn't seen anything else like me. I tried communicating in vain, as no one could hear me. Or as ponies say it, nopony. The notebook I had was running out of paper, as well as the inkwell running almost dry. I'd have to save it up-

10:43 PM - void.48.: -I exit the inn shortly, a little relieved, the ponies' gazes being a little unnerving. Though there were many more outside, going about their lives, I suppose. As I walk on the side of the road, I see many shadows overhead, causing me to look up- '(Pegasi.)' -This reminded me that I could fly as well. Why hadn't I thought of it sooner? I float up slowly and see a few pegasi look, stunned. I give a friendly wave to them, before walking on the thin air and seeing all the shops below-

10:50 PM - void.48.: -I looked around me and saw the broad area, all unexplored. There was so much to see, and I had the time. Catching my attention was a large building with a white sign, reading: Silent Ponyville. I slowly go downwards and land on the sidewalk, catching the attention of many ponies in the vicinity. Ignoring this, I saw ponies in a line, giving bits to someone else in a booth of some sort- "Hey!" -I look to a large, bulk stallion blocking the way of another- "You haven't paid! If you want to see the movie, you're going to have to line up and pay!" -I take note of this and decide to line up. Why not? I had nothing more important to do anyways-

11:12 PM - Princess Luna: *I consider that Deemo must be running low on paper now, so I give him directions to Quills and Sofas in Ponyville, not too far from his temporary abode at which he could likely get more. Not knowing if he'd been payed yet, I send with the letter a small pouch of bits, enough for the writing supplies and an amount more for whatever else he may need. At the end, I wished him well, and asked him to keep in contact, giving the address of Canterlot Castle. I then sent the letter and pouch, locating him at the theatre in Ponyville.*

11:13 PM - void.48.: -I feel the eyes of the pony behind me burning holes into my head. I could hear their murmurs and whispers. Faintly, I could hear- "What is that?" "I saw it flying it earlier!" "Maybe it came from the forest!" -I push away those thoughts as I finally reach the end of the line. As expected, the pony up front's reaction wasn't very positive- "U-uh... hello, sir..." -He stutters and trembles- "That'll be f-five bits." -I reach into my shirt pocket and open a little bag I had where I kept my currency, taking out the required amount and setting it on the counter- "T-thank you! Enjoy the movie!" ((Assuming that I got the bits.))

11:16 PM - void.48.: -I consider sitting near the middle or front, but my height would clearly be a distraction to the others. So I sat at the back, which I found relatively empty. The others who were there moved away at the sight of me. This saddened me a little, but maybe with time, things will be a little more... calm-

11:18 PM - Princess Luna: *I walk about the castle, doing my various tasks, until finally I yawn loudly, it being near noon. I went and headed to my bedroom after telling my sister I was going to sleep, doing my bedtime routines before setteling into my bed, sighing softly in comfort at the soft silken sheets now surrounding me and the fluffy Pegusus-down-feather pillow I laid upon. I shut my eyes and calmed my body, the last though before I fell asleep being of Deemo walking away to start his new life here.

11:24 PM - void.48.: -Having been deep in my thoughts, I had skipped a small portion of the movie- "Cheryl, where are you?" -A gray pony with a brown jacket and flashlight called out into the ash or fog. Or was it snow?- "Geez, they got his mane all wrong!" -I hear somepony mutter. The movie was quite dark, and what would be considered scary, as some of the ponies visibly and audibly. While the story was all in all interesting, what really caught my attention was the musical score- "Harry... please, help me!" -A pony with medical attire called out to the protagonist with blood dripping down her face-

11:25 PM - void.48.: -The song playing in the background was very... haunting. I found myself repeating the song in my head throughout the rest of the movie, barely absorbing anything else that was happening-

11:30 PM - void.48.: -As soon as the credits started rolling down the screen, I see the ponies start to exit. I followed, exiting- '(I'll have to keep that song in mind.)' -By this time, I'd realized that practice was probably soon. I once again elevated and went towards the same meeting spot as last time, reaching it quickly-

11:31 PM - void.48.: -I was right on time. I saw the band entering the building, some of them carrying their instruments. I spot Noteworthy and give him a wave-

11:42 PM - void.48.: -During rehearsal, I saw an empty spot where the violinist used to be. Lazy- '(I wonder what happened?)' -After practice, I go up to you and write- "What happened to Lazy?"

11:44 PM - Princess Luna has changed their name to Noteworthy.

11:44 PM - void.48.: "I was hoping that we could come to resolution..."

11:44 PM - void.48.: "I didn't mean to cause any problems."

11:49 PM - Noteworthy: *I smile softly at you, assuringly* Don't worry about him. He's not coming back again. I'm sorry you had to be involved with that. We were planning of getting rid of him for a while now, but never had a reason to..." I said, sighing at how that had gone down. "Just forget about it, if you can. We'll be getting a new violinist soon."

11:53 PM - void.48.: -I nod before turning away, starting towards the exit. Everypony else had left. I could not help but feel this sense of guilt. Yes, he seemed to be a bad type of pony, but...-

11:54 PM - void.48.: -Exiting, I saw that the sun was setting. Time to head back home-

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

12:01 AM - void.48.: *Taking character of another pony*

12:03 AM - void.48.: -I approach the music hall with the paper on my hoof. They were looking for a pianist, hm? Well, I'm just the pony they need. I smirk as I enter the building, approaching what seemed to be the leader of this entire group. They were still setting up- Excuse me. I heard somepony here was looking for a pianist?

12:09 AM - Noteworthy: *I nod, looking upon the paper, the upon the pony holding it.* "Yes, I am." I said, "...and you are?"

12:09 AM - void.48.: -I present the ripped paper, ripped from Equestria Daily- "Looking for Pianist." Well, I've decided to lend my skills! At a price! ((I'm not Deemo.)?

12:11 AM - Noteworthy: "Oh..." I said, wincing slightly, "Sorry, but the position is already taken."

12:12 AM - void.48.: -I stood their wide eyed for a moment, before chuckling- Oh, well you shouldn't have any trouble kicking whoever's there, right? I have all you could ever need!

12:12 AM - void.48. is now Online.

12:12 AM - Noteworthy: *I shake my head, knowing that was not the case.* "I'm...sorry, but this pianist is literally the best I've ever heard."

12:14 AM - void.48.: ...Excuse me? You haven't even seen my skill! -You see Deemo enter shortly afterwards, looking at you with his usual blank stare- I demand to see this "pianist" you're talking about!  

12:16 AM - void.48.: -I look towards the figure you are pointing to with a flustered expression, seeing a tall, dark figure. He was not what I had expected, definitely. I had expected a random, average stallion, and instead saw... what was that? My expression switches to one of confusion- What... is that?

12:17 AM - Noteworthy: *I just stand and watch, but his tone puts me on guard. it seemed he was...mocking Deemo??

12:21 AM - void.48.: Haha! This is the pianist? Hmph! -I walk up to the figure and look up, face determined- So, you're the pianist, hm? Well, you better start looking for another band, because that spot is mine now! -I see the figure tilt it's head and take out a piece of paper, writing on it, before presenting it- "Hello. It's nice to meet you."

12:21 AM - void.48.: ((Mind taking his character for a moment?))

12:21 AM - Noteworthy: (sec)

12:21 AM - void.48. is now Away.

12:22 AM - Noteworthy has changed their name to Deemo.

12:23 AM - Deemo: *I look over this pony, able to tell the aggression but hoping to difuse it. I didn't want this turning into another Lazy Daze. I take out a piece of paper, writing on it, before presenting it- "Hello. It's nice to meet you."

12:23 AM - void.48. is now Online.

12:24 AM - void.48.: -I open my mouth to retort, but find myself unable to find the correct words to say. It was... kind?- ...

12:25 AM - Deemo: *I await his respons, but could see he was confused. Understandably so, given how odd I was in their world.)

12:25 AM - void.48.: ((I was actually talking about douchebag pony, but that's alright. About that piano duel...))

12:26 AM - void.48. is now Away.

12:26 AM - Deemo: (so you're taking Deemo again?)

12:26 AM - void.48. is now Online.

12:26 AM - void.48.: ((Would you like to continue as Deemo? I don't mind.))

12:27 AM - void.48.: ((It's a fun part to me.))

12:27 AM - void.48.: ((So maybe you'll find it fun.))

12:28 AM - Deemo: (whatever you wanna do)

12:28 AM - void.48.: ((Please choose.))

12:28 AM - Deemo: (you seem to make a good deemo, and I can make a douchebag. :P)

12:29 AM - void.48.: (( :S You aren't a douchebag.))

12:29 AM - Deemo has changed their name to A Douchebag Pony.

12:29 AM - void.48.: ((...))

12:30 AM - A Douchebag Pony: (proceed.)

12:30 AM - void.48.: ((Your move.))

12:31 AM - void.48.: ((Be VERY VERY evil.))

12:31 AM - void.48.: ((Really try to push it.))

12:32 AM - void.48. is now Online.

12:32 AM - A Douchebag Pony: So, you think you're hot horseshoes huh? I bet you can't play a single note as well as I can. I'm the best pienest equestria, hay ANY land, has ever seen. You... you're just a black blob. an ugly, black blob that is worth about as much as the ink stain you look like."

12:32 AM - void.48.: ((Actually... I think this would be better in a more important atmosphere.))

12:32 AM - A Douchebag Pony: (-_-)

12:33 AM - void.48.: ((In the eyes of Princess Luna!))

12:33 AM - void.48.: ((In the castle!))

12:33 AM - void.48.: ((...Or not. :S ))

12:33 AM - void.48.: ((Sorry.))

12:33 AM - A Douchebag Pony: (sigh. proceed to change it)

12:33 AM - A Douchebag Pony: (go, do w/e you wanna_

12:33 AM - void.48.: ((Nevermind.))

12:33 AM - void.48.: (("Pienest."))

12:33 AM - void.48.: ((XD))

12:36 AM - void.48.: -I feel a dagger hit a nerve, placing my hand over my chest. But returning insults would not help the situation more- '(But... maybe...)' -I write- "So you say."

12:36 AM - void.48.: "Show me your moves." ((Captain Falcon!))

12:37 AM - void.48.: ((Do you have a song?))

12:38 AM - void.48. is now Online.

12:38 AM - void.48.: ((And... We can stop, if you want...)

12:38 AM - void.48.: ((You're annoyed, aren't you?))

12:40 AM - A Douchebag Pony: *I felt my fury boiling. This insignificant blob thought it was better tehn me? THAN ME?!*  "Alright you little hoofstain, I'll show you how a good pianist plays!" I stomp over to the piano and sit on the bench, placing my hooves as I begin a classic, but complex, waltz sequence.

12:42 AM - void.48.: -I adjust my tie and watch closely, listening to his song. It sounded very decent, and well practiced. His movement were accurate, pinpointed, and in time. He wasn't all talk. His skills backed it up-

12:54 AM - void.48.: *Perspective of Fancy Pony* -As I let my hooves rest from the song, I send a smirk to the creature, the rest of the band surprised at my skill and stomping their hooves, all except Noteworthy. Ah, he'll eventually follow along-

12:57 AM - void.48. is now Online.

12:57 AM - void.48.: ((Fancy: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=CKCx3vVK9MM))

12:58 AM - A Douchebag Pony: (indeed fancy.)

12:58 AM - void.48.: -As I make my way to the pony, I drop a slip of paper on his lap, not bothering to watch his reaction. Moving to the opposite side of the stage, and holding my hand out to the ground, fingers spread-

12:59 AM - void.48. is now Online.

1:00 AM - void.48.: -The fancy pony laughs at me- Ah, Quatre Mains! Only supposed to be played with four hooves, but as you can see, I've done it! What are you going to do, Deemo? Ha!

1:00 AM - void.48.: *with only two

1:02 AM - void.48.: -I feel something surge from my chest, as if something had stirred. The events that had just unfolded no doubt caused it. I feel my hand stretch to the floor, spreading like a puddle does after raining, rising and taking the form of a piano. Though instead of it's usual pure black, it is tinted. Red-

1:03 AM - void.48.: -As I finish the seperation, I hold out my hand, it facing towards him. And I say out loud- (Let me entrance you.)

1:05 AM - void.48.: -By the look on his face, I knew he could hear me clearly. And from the looks of the others, they could not. I sit down and set my fingers on the keys, and let my hands make the motion- '(Let's end this.)'

1:06 AM - void.48.: ((Deemo: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=pZ8tmziVhsA))

1:07 AM - void.48.: -I watched his every movement, laughing it off a little, thinking I had ended so quickly- "Is that all?"

1:10 AM - void.48.: -I quickly escalated the tempo, my fingers working their magic and flowing across the keys with a smoothness like satin. I wanted to end his career. And I would do it with this song-

1:14 AM - void.48.: -I had finally found my anger. And it was coursing through my song. Like millions of arrows simulataneously firing and hitting their target, I struck him down, my notes all hitting his heart, piercing it-

1:15 AM - void.48.: -I saw his eyes tear up, tears threatening to fall: and they did. Slowly-

1:16 AM - void.48.: -As I played the last notes, I stared directly into his eyes. When I finally hit the last note, I stood up, dispering the piano back into me-
