Droppin' in at Dusk

Sweet Dreams made her way towards the town tavern hoping that it would be as empty as the last one she had been to, but it seemed she would not get her wish as she opened the door she could see ponies of all shapes, genders and races inside. Deciding that instead of leaving the way she came she could suck up her fears for one night instead of sleeping out in the cold night air, She made her was towards the end of the bar as shyly asked the bartender for some plain apple juice as she had no need to get drunk just yet. While she waited for her drink she looked around the tavern at all the other ponies or rather the ponies cutie marks.

rez just walking around sees the tavern and decides maybe some drink would be great and heads on in and heads to the bar next to an orange pony he looks at the bar keep and asks" Could i have a scotch please?" as the keep got his drink ready rez looked around and sees everyone laughing and talking and says to himself " I like it here."

Sweet dreams siped her juice just letting her mind wonder when she someone speak up causing her to jump and almost spilling her drink,She looked over at the pony "U-um hello...my name is Sweet Dreams but you can call me Sweets if you want to.." She stares down at her glass not used to ponies going out of thier way to talk to her but she figured she could alest try and make a friend with this pony. "Its nice to meet you.."

rez sipping at his drink heared some cup clattering over at the end of the table. He looks over and notices that the orange pony that was next to him went over there to comfort him. rez gets up and decides to go over there and say hi. "Hey my name is rez whats your names?"

~~~OC: Suspicious Package~~~

Wow, the security in this town is horrible. Then again, not like they would expect ponies like me to come by too often. Package walked through the streets of Ponyville, having just recently finished taking care of one his best "deliveries" yet and now attempting to find a tavern at which to spend some of the money he had just earned. After a few minutes of wandering, he was finally able to find a rather large establishment that seemed to be exactly the type of building that he had been looking for.

"Ah, there we go."

The Pegasus walked up to the entrance of the building, opening the doors and going inside as he reached it. Looking around, he saw that there was a relatively large amount of ponies in the building, all looking to be either very friendly or drunk, or both. The Pegasus approached the bar, hopping into a stool located near a group of three other ponies, found at the edge of the bar counter. Once he was comfortably seated, he ordered a drink with a large smile and a friendly voice.

"Bartender, give me a single Aloan Sunburst, in the biggest glass you can find!" Ooh, I haven't had one of these in a looong time.

The bartender looked slightly shocked for a second, but within moments he went off to prepare the pony's drink, grabbing various drinks and miscellaneous ingredients and mixing them all together into a seemingly highly complex concoction. As he did so, Package looked over at the trio of ponies that he had decided to sit next to. From what he could hear, it seemed that they were currently in the middle of introductions, and the colt nearest him had just asked the others' names. He decided to jump in on the conversation at that point.

"Greetings, friends! My name is Suspicious Package, though you may refer to me as Rex! And may I add on to 'Rez''s question and ask, what would your names be?"

Sweets nodded sipping more of her juice slowly "You can just call me Sweets if you want..." She gives a small smile to both of the stallions as she orders somemore juice and starts looking through her saddle bags that she still has on her flanks for some bits.

"Nice choice of drink Rex." Rez said looking at Rex's drink. "nice time to be here dont you think?"

"The name's Apricot Ember, but you can just call me Ember. This here is Sweet Dream!"

"You can just call me Sweets if you want..."

"Nice to meet both of you! All three of you, really."

Package looked over to the counter-top as he heard the slight clatter of a glass, and saw that the bartender had finished his drink and had proceeded to bring it over. Package smiled as he picked up the glass, quite eager to get another taste of his favorite drink.

"Nice choice of drink Rex."

"Only the best, my friend." The Pegasus laughed a little after saying this.

"Nice time to be here, don't you think?"

"Indeed so!"

Package lifted the glass to his mouth, and quickly gulped down at least half of the drink contained. He lightly slammed the glass onto the counter, surprisingly not spilling a drop of his beverage in the process, and sat still for a second as he waited for the drink's effects to strike. Within moments, they did so, and the ponies face changed to an expression that could only be described as a mixture of shock, happiness and insanity all in one. He returned to normal within seconds, and he laughed somewhat loudly for a few moments.

"Oh, thazis good stuff!"

Sweets looked over at Ember with a bit of a larger smile 'Well I guess you could say I’m a performer or a storyteller......or both?" She tapped a hoof to her chin thinking about it for a while and finished her juice and ordered some hard cider. "It’s nothing much really but enough about me...what about you guys?"

"I'm a construction worker and have been working on a project ain ponyville." said rez taking another drink from his cup.

"SO! What do all of YOU do?"

"Well, I guess you could say I’m a performer or a storyteller......or both? It’s nothing much really but enough about me...what about you guys?"

"I'm a construction worker and have been working on a project in ponyville."

"And I, am good with specialized delivery. My job's really the only reason why I'm here in the first place. Usually right about now I'd be working in Manehattan, where I live." Package took another sip of his beverage, a much smaller amount this time than last time. The effects that he experienced last time still showed, but at a much lower intensity this time.

Sweets blushed and sipped her cider listening mostly now to the others

Rez takes a drink from his glass waiting for rex to answer.

"AND YOU! What kind of special deliveries?"

"Haha, now that is a secret, and don't think I'm gonna get drunk enough to share it anytime soon!" Package took another sip of his drink, still experiencing a slight shocking feeling from the potency of the beverage. "Hey Sweets, how 'bout you tell us a story right now?"

"Well I guess I could tell one for you guys..." She drowns the last of her cider as she slips off her stool and makes her way in front of the bar, She cleared her throat and smiled at the ponies that looked her way "What kind of story would you like to hear tonight? One of great Daring and Adventure, or maybe one of great friendship and loyalty, or even maybe one of great hardship and horror?" As she asked each question a slightly transparent pony appeared. An earth pony dressed like an adventurer ,a unicorn and a pegasi pony who seemed like close friends and the last a crazed looking unicorn wrapped in a strait jacket grinning crazily at the ponies in the bar.

"An adventure sounds good." Rez said sitting at a bench.

Package took another long sip of his drink as he watched Sweets accept his request and go up to the front of the bar.

"What kind of story would you like to hear tonight? One of great Daring and Adventure, or maybe one of great friendship and loyalty, or even maybe one of great hardship and horror?"

"An adventure sounds good."

Package looked over the three magical ponies that had appeared in front of Sweets, giving honest thought to the options. "Uh, sure, let's go with adventure, yeah?"

Sweet Dream smiled as the two other ponies disapper in a shower of sparkles leaving only the Aventure pony behind,He looks towards Ember and gives a slight chuckle "This story my good lady is on one with brave Adventruer a lost treasure and a Dragon with a name so long it would take a life time just to say half of it but who i like to call Dimondback'
