A rather rundown cart made its way through the lands, a lean, if not haggard Changeling pulling it.

Sure, it was nice to travel around Equestria, but one also had no place to call "home", especially not if one was of a species as feared as Fatus' was.
All the towns, all the cities and villages he had visited had tolerated him, but they had never accepted him.

But maybe that would change, would he finally have a place to stay, a chance to prove his worth to the world. A place to find love.
That was why this Changeling was traveling through the countryside, looking for the opportunity the cards had promised him. Hopefully he had read them correctly this time. Fatus wasn't sure, whether he could stand another disappointment like the one from two weeks ago.

He was exhausted, he was hungry and the cart wasn't getting any lighter either.
Fatus would have to find some civilisation soon.
The insectiod pony once again found himself fantasizing about how it would be, would he not have been exiled from his- No, THE swarm all that time ago. Would his life there be better? Worse? He did not know. Lost in thought Fatus hadn't even realized, that he had walked straight into what looked like a small valley of sorts with what seemed to be another pony with a cart standing in it.

A Pegasus lazily rode the clouds above, Tinted with different shades of grey, also wearing goggles for if she goes at high speeds, and the cutie mark being a cloud with wings. It lounged around in the skies, generally lounging about on the clouds. She also enjoyed the scenery of the Lakes and Mountains and Forests...

She hadn't been near this area before and she was enjoying the area around. She looked around more and more, taking in the surroundings and then then landing down a far from any signs of civilization. She enjoys being out in the wild, away and void from everyone else, for it made her feel relaxed. She goes up to a lake and lays down, relaxing.

'Hmm... I wonder what's going on elsewhere.. Ah well. I should get going back. Maybe not.... I should just relax for a while. I enjoy this area, and it is quite relaxing.' The grey pegasus slightly sighed to herself. 'It is rather comfortable.. I'm sure any animals wont mind. If there are any.' And, After saying that, proceeds to fall asleep, snoring lightly while down on the ground beside the lake.

Clip. Clop. Clip. Clop.
Soft tapping of hooves clicked on the ground. Rhythm scanned the area with one quick glance before staring at the ground before him again. The lush grass under him is lush with dew from the early morning. The pony didn't carry anything with him. Not even a wallet. Just himself, his suit, and his hat. Rhythm had never settled down in one place for long without getting restless and moving on. Perhaps here he can find amusement, enough to keep him here for awhile. He never stays in one place, though, so he's sure to move. Perhaps he will stay here the longest...
Clip. Clop. Clip. Clop.
Oh yes, he's had his share of life. After all, one always finds something to do in every town. Nothing suited him just right, though. Rhythm Thief would like nothing more than to settle down, but he has to settle down in an interesting place. Or else he will die of boredom. Rhythm wanted to sustain his life a little bit longer.
Clip. Clop. Clip. Clop.
Rhythm sighted a small group of ponies clustered together. Whatever they were doing, the pony decided to veer around them. It wasn't something for him to join, anyways. Although not antisocial, Rhythm isn't exactly who you call 'social'.

On this rather peaceful day and Copper Sprocket wandered down the rather quiet street, heading for the mechanics store. As she walked she passed a rather odd stallion, dragging a cartload of mechanical parts along with him. Her green eyes sparkled at the sight! Another pony who loved mechanics as much as she did! Unfortunately she didn't have time to stop and talk to the stallion as she had a very important purchase to make, in order to finish her latest project.

"The spiderbot!" she had announced proudly to the owner of the mechanics store, using her magic to gently place the nearly finished creation on the counter. She grinned, explaining to the pony behind the counter the specific size of cog she needed in order to get it working.
"I'm sorry. We currently do not have that size in stock," replied the salespony.
Sprocket's mouth dropped open, "But, you must have at least one? Surely?" she frowned, not willing to believe that her project's completion would be hindered by the absence of one tiny cog.
The salespony shook his head, "Nope. Sorry, Sprocket."
Copper Sprocket sighed, "Oh well. Thanks anyway," she replied, attempting to put on a smile despite how disappointed she was.

Leaving the shop, Sprocket wandered down the street, contemplating where else she could find such a cog. She had just been to the only decent shop in town after all...
Copper froze as she thought back to earlier when the stallion dragging the cart had wandered through. Wait.. had that been her imagination? She stood wide-eyed as she remembered seeing a cog the exact size she needed among the parts he was carrying.

Turning around almost immediately and dragging the unfinished spiderbot along with her using her magic, Sprocket promptly galloped back to where she had previously seen the cart. However as expected it was now gone. Luckily, there were some tracks, left behind by the cart as it was pulled away. Sprocket promptly followed them, ending up spending the rest of her day trying to find this elusive cart and it's driver.


And so she was where she was now, overlooking two stallions who had been caught in a cart crash on the sunrise after that day.
"I finally found you!" she exclaimed loudly, sliding down the slope towards them. Unfortunately Sprocket ended up tripping on a lose rock and tumbling down the rest of the slope. Once she came to a halt she panicked, glancing upwards. Sighing in relief, she gently placed the still intact spiderbot on the ground, the pale blue traces of her magic disappearing instantly.

(Scuse the copy paste. I'll introduce Honeycomb later at a more appropriate time I guess. Unless you want your char to meet with her as she's chasing her bees, Pichu |D)

Shrapnel was astonished to see another pony, a mare, and a strange creature with a cart, a changeling. Normally, like any sane pony, he would have become terrified, but the changeling did not seem to be aggressive and he was still dizzy from the crash to recognize the danger. Soon after he sat up, did the mare fall down the slope as well.
"I found you!" she had cried.
Shrapnel merely blinked, 'Someone was searching for me?' he wondered, 'Why would they want ME of all ponies?' The bronze colored pony shook his heard to clear it, and blinked, "Uh...what?" he asked.
The white maned stallion did not notice the other pony that seemed to be edging around them, since he was too busy focused on just what was going on in the now.

OOC: Skip my post. just act like CloudBrush is sleeping. also introduce honeycomb at my character, they can be away from everyone else XD

Thunder watched from another part of the terrain. "Hmm... A group meeting of sorts? But a changeling? This is something I actually want to know about, not every day do you see a changeling NOT try to kill a pony when right in front of them," Thunder said to himself.
He started to walk his way over and decided to just fly the rest of the way, it felt it'd be a bit more to the comfort of other ponies if he walked by them instead, he needed to learn to control his pacing outdoors, but he'd try to slow down later. He landed at the bottom of the hill and saw a cart in a boulder.
"You guys all travelers?" Thunder asked.
He felt a bit wary of the changeling however, but he continued to stay there.

"A traveler, a ssseer of the hidden, yesss...", Fatus weakly spoke.
The Changeling had traveled Equestria for quite some time now, not having found much love obviously.
"A weary wanderer on hisss way through the landsss on the sssearch for peace and acceptance."
Long ago the exiled Fatus had grown tired of his life in constant solitude, in instability. But all the places he had traveled to, they had tolerance and disinterest, but no hope, no dreams and no love. They were not places for the exhausted journeychangeling to stay. But where would he find a place of love? A location in which he would be respected and liked for what he was? Did such a place even exist for a Changeling?

"Are you alright?" she asked, hopping back up onto her feet and quickly moving over to the bronze stallion. She seemed not to notice the pony veering around them, and didn't notice the changeling right away either. Moving her spiderbot creation with her, she placed it on the ground and began to pick up a few objects that had fallen out of Shrapnel's cart when he had rolled into it. Though she still had her quest of finding a cog small enough for her creation, her first priority was to make sure that this pony wasn't hurt.
She blinked as a pegasus walked over to them, asking if they were travelers. Before she could answer, the changeling she had neglected to notice beforehand spoke up. She tilted her head for a moment and blinked. She had never seen a real changeling before.

Meanwhile, a short distance away....
A large swarm of bees buzzing through the area, flying straight over the lake that poor CloudBrush was trying to sleep near. They flew over the water's surface heading straight towards the resting pegasus on the other side of the lake.
A young, female pegasus with pale yellow fur sped past, flying at incredible speeds. A striped trail of golden yellow and black lay in her wake, dissipating as quickly as it had appeared. Chasing the bees, it took the mare a few moments to get ahead of them. When she did, she quickly stopped flying, merely hovering in mid-air in front of the small swarm and preventing them from reaching the other side of the lake where the other pegasus slept.
"Calm down, all of you!" she frowned crossly. The bees buzzed around a little bit, having gathered in front of her. "Just because there was a little bit of smoke near the hive doesn't mean you need to go scaring everyone and buzzing around like a bunch of crazy lunatics!" she cried.
It was quite an odd sight, watching her scold the group of bees that lazily hung in the air now that they had calmed down a little bit. A few of them seemed to be a bit nervous, as if not liking the tone the mare was taking with them.
"Now I want you to all go back to your hive. Reina and whoever else you left behind are probably worried sick," she glared at them. The bees continued to buzz nervously before the young mare flapped her wings in such a way that they produced a vibrating sound similar to that of the buzzing that bees made. It had some form of effect on the bees, as upon hearing it, they all, albeit slowly, began to fly back the way they had come. Only a few single bees lagged behind, buzzing around the mare that had sent the others back in the direction they had come.

'Hmm.. Bees..' Cloudbrush murmured in her sleep, not phased by the sound that was over the lake she was sleeping by. She woke up somewhat, stretching out her wings and noticing the bees and the pegasus. (that sounds like a fairy tale XD) Cloudbrush proceeds to hover above the ground and watch the pegasus and bees do their thing.

OOC: SORRY THAT ITS SHORT 3:

Honeycomb sighed in relief as the bees dispersed, headed back for the hive in which they had left in their panic. She knew that large swarms of bees like that could be frightening to some ponies, and so she had to keep her tiny striped friends from buzzing around like 'crazy lunatics'. Getting the feeling that she was being watched, Honeycomb glanced behind her, spotting Cloudbrush hovering a short distance away.
"Hi!" she grinned cheerfully, "I hope my bees weren't a bother to you..." she blinked, gently flying over to the fellow pegasus.

"Y-Yeah i'm okay," he spoke, 'Oh Celestia...' he thought in dismay as he saw his cart. He noticed the mare picking up pieces and spoke quickly, "O-Oh! You don't need to do that!"
He did not want the mare or even the odd changeling to think he was lazy, also not wanting to give a bad impression. He had ruined his reputation many times in the old village with new ponies, and if he managed to befriend them they would discover his dream and laugh at him. Well, they never actually laughed in his face at first, but he always heard them snickering behind his back.

Not far away from the bee-keeper and the brush of clouds, was a strange light purple pony with a two-toned mane of black and white. The main covered half of the mare's face, and on her hip lay the bare purple fur that colored her. Balance was her name, wandering was not so much of her game. The mare had wandered away from her carriage, which was supposed to have escorted her around as she attempted to fufil her goals, and ended up here. The mare's eyes locked onto the strange two pegasi, who were these pegasi?

"Oh don't worry!" grinned Copper Sprocket cheerfully, "It's not much effort for me so i'd rather save you the time," she smiled, trying to help a fellow pony with her abilities, even if it was only simple levitation.
"Glad to know you're okay though," she smiled, seemingly having forgotten the entire reason she followed the stallion here in the first place as she focused her attention on collecting his scattered possessions back together.

Rhythm watched the incident out of the corner of his eye with slight amusement. What an unlikely group, a changeling and some ponies. The earth pony looked around as the ponies grew more distant before settling down on the grass and closing his eyes. Apparently, from what he had heard, they were all travelers. Rhythm Thief smiled. Don't know if I would call myself a traveler. A roamer more properly fits the description...
