Tour of Ponyville

Dustheart opened the door to the library and walked in. "Wow, it a lot bigger on the inside than on the outside!" She said in a singsong voice, afterwards realizing she should probably be quiet because she was in a library. Dustheart held the door open for the ponies walking in after her, and scanned the book shelves, not particularly looking for anything. She levitated a random book to her face and opened it, reading the first paragraph. "And the books are good too." Dustheart said, being quieter than she had when she first walked in.

gemini followed dustheart in as he was giving her a tour of ponyville." yeah. last time i was here, i took some books out. so im going to quickly return them while im here, okay?" gemini says, looking for the place to return books.

As much as I dislike this place, It's the only damn place to research more on the Neighponese.. A Tiffany blue colored Pegasus trotting into the Library with a very bored yet non-happy expression on her face through those glasses as the lens goes gray covering only the bottom of the lens. She stands up at the front counter asking a familiar unicorn where the sections of foreign cultures is pointing to the direction with a warm smile on her smile. Mist then nodded saying thank you smiling back at the mare trotting over there dragging her messy yet bushy tail on the floor sighing deeply. "Now.. let me see.." dragging her hoof against the books finding a said book.

Lunis walked into the library to find a new book on natural remedies. He had already read and created dozens of recipes in the supernaturals book,so now he was looking for something else. He walked over to a shelf that was labeled R and another one that was labeled N. He found and grabbed a couple of books in his mouth and put them on a table nearby. "Now then lets see if these have any interesting recipes in them."

Dustheart walked over to a stallion who was looking at some books that started with N and R. She read a book title and looked up at the stallion. "I know a family recipe from Hoofington if you would like to know." Dustheart said, smiling at the stranger. "I'm Dustheart, nice to meet you." Dustheart stuck out her hoof in front of the stallion, hoping he wasn't too much in a hurry to meet someone new. She had noticed quite a few ponies were friendly but didn't stick around to talk.

gemini saw mist returning books ahead of him and decided to say hello. walking up behind her in the foreign cultures section, he tapped her on the shoulder." hey mist, how are you?" he asked in a somewhat whispered voice.

Finding a book titled 'About Neighponese History and Culture' on the second shelf opening up her wings as she lifts upward and then quietly pulling the book out looking at it with a goofy-looking grin ascending back down the floor. Mist then felt a tap on her shoulder turning around seeing Gemini, a friend of hers. "Gemini, what's up? Been a while since that little meet-up in Ponyville. I'm fine though.. came here to find some info on my favorite culture." she explained in a whisper showing the book in her hooves to Gem. "How about you, dude?"

He took it and shook it gently. "Im Lunis Stellaris. It is a pleasure to meet you." He looked back to the book and read the title to himself. "Natural remedies for advanced alchemists." He read the book while keeping a conversation with dustheart. "About this recipe of yours. What does it do? What ingredients does it take? How long does it take to create?"

"Well as I said it's a family recipe, and I'm not an alchemist, my grandmother was. I'll send her a letter today asking for the recipe for you." Dustheart said, trying to remember as much as she could about it. "Umm... what it does... something to do with love if I recall." Dustheart said, thinking back to when her grandmother and parents tried everything they could to make her love somepony. Dustheart looked down at the ground for a second or two, but then looked back up happily. "So you're an advanced alchemist? Interesting. I'm a cutie mark specialist. I help foals get their cutie marks, treat the cutie pox, and all other thing cutie mark related." Dustheart smiled brightly at Lunis.

"im doing fine. met quite a few new friends since then, but none that knows Neighponese traditions i think." gemini replies. looking around to see if he could see dust where he was standing, he pointed her out." im here giving her a tour of ponyville, since shes new. though i can't say i've been to alot of places myself. i think." gemini starts to tap his chin. "hmm. maybe. anyway, i wondered if you wanted to join us? its like i said, shes new and because of that doesn't know many ponies here." gemini says, looking at the books. " that, and you still have to get me to try onigiri. or...uh,what are they normally called here.......r-rice balls?" gemini said, trying to remember the conversation from sugar cube corner and from books he read." yeah. rice balls."

"Mist blinking but nods in agreement, not a lot ponies here don't know the culture of Neighponese." scratching her back head looking away but looks back staring at the direction Gem was pointing at, a grey unicorn. Mist hasn't seen this mare at all so she knew that it's a newcomer here. "A newcomer here in Ponyville? I see then... and sure, I'll join you guys in this tour around here." she said in a quiet tone staring at the new pony before staring back at Gem. "Oh, you still remember that? I haven't forgotten about them and yes, you're still gonna try my rice balls."

He closed the book he was reading so he could focus more on the conversation at hand. "I see. I would love to have a copy of the recipe as soon as possible. If you would like me to teach you a few recipes I will. I always like to give something in return for another." He took the book and placed it back on the shelf then took the other to the checkout center. After he was done with that he walked back over. "It was a pleasure to meet you Dustheart,but I must go and do some research."
He began walking over to the door when he noticed a familiar face. He turned around and walked up to the pegasus. "Hey gemini. Hows it going?"

"Oh it's alright, I've never really done any alchemy. I'll write her soon and then give you her reply!" Dustheart smiled and watched Lunis walk away. She saw Gemini talking to a cyan mare, and Lunis approached Gemini as well. "Wow, he sure does know a lot of people!" Dustheart said, pulling out the alchemy book Lunis had put back. "I never really did get all this fancy schmancy alchemy stuff, but I suppose I can help out a new friend." Dustheart levitated the book back to the shelf and trotted back towards where Lunis, Gemini, and the cyan mare were talking.

gemini smiles at the thought of food." awesome. they sound interesting, and if i plan on travelling equestria then i might as well taste the food too, right?" he says, then notices lunis walking towards him." hey lunis." he greets back." so, lets not talk about that 'incident' in the tavern, okay?" gemini says, hoping to forget about that memory.

Mist chuckled lightly trying not to get loud using her tail to take full grasp on the book. "Yeah..." nodding to his comment then turned her head towards the unicorn and another Pegasus, raising an eyebrow at the two strangers seeing how they're new here in Ponyville before overhearing something about an incident or whatever. Wonder what happen... Mist shook her head clearing it on how it's not important, as she turned her attention to the grey unicorn only "Hmm.. more newcomers.. I see.." pausing for a moment, her lens becoming shine white covering only the below of her eyes pushing them up. "The name's Mist Fragrance, what's yours?"

He shuddered for a moment at the mention of the incident then decided to introduce himself to change the subject in his mind. "I am Lunis Stellaris. I focus in alchemy but that isnt my true talent." He indicated to the shield which was his cutie mark. "I arrived in this town a week ago to study on a few plants necessary to on of my mixtures. Now then I would like to hear who you are madam."

Dustheart walked up next to Gemini, and looked at the cyan mare. "Is she your friend?" She asked, turning around to look at the bookshelf behind her. "Just asking because you seem to have a lot of friends." Dustheart said, tilting her head sideways to read the titles of the books on the shelf in front of her. She pulled one out and read a little bit, waiting for Gemini's word that they could leave and continue their adventure.

gemini looked at dustheart as she walked towards them." hey dust, this is mist. yeah, shes a friend of mine." gemini starts to tap his chin with his hoof." yeah, i guess i know alot of ponies. so, do you mind if she tags along with us?"

Mist jumps up flapping her wings only 3 feet off the floor, folding her front hooves back behind her head kicking her legs over like she's laying on a couch looking down at the three. "Like Gem said, my name is Mist." letting her tail dangled holding the book in that grasp still. "Plus, I have free time to chill to go on this.. tour around Ponyville. Glad to make even more friends."

"Well Mist it is nice to meet you. As for this tour I would like to join it. Alas ive only been here a short time,so I do not know where everything is yet." He hadnt gotten to see all of ponyville yet since he was so caught up in his studies.

"Yay two more ponies! Is everyone ready to go to the bowling alley?" Dustheart said excitedly, practically hopping out the front door of the library.
