>You and Voltage make your way up to the front of the building, opening the door into the bar area.
>The early afternoon light shines in through the bar’s single glass window, casting light over the small establishment.
>Draft wipes down a table over in the corner, but looks up when he sees you two come in.
>You take a seat at one of the tables, the table’s legs screeching in the empty bar.
>Voltage does the same, sitting across from you.
>It’s certainly not the nicest of places, but you shouldn’t be disturbed by supers on the street.
>As you sit down, Draft sets down his cleaning supplies and trots over to you.
>”Afternoon ladies, need something to drink?”
>Voltage looks to you, giving a little hoof motion to indicate for you to go first.
>You certainly could get wasted, but it might be a little early for that.

>>27101681
Something light

>>27101681
Lets take it easy. A beer.

>>27101681
Got any brandy?

Super busty anthro nyx with three different lengthed dongs!

>>27101706
>>27101732
>>27101749
>While a brandy does sound good, you think you’d rather keep it on the light side.
“Just a beer for me. Doesn’t matter which.”
>”I’ll have the same,” Voltage says.
>”Right, be right back with those,” Draft says, trotting behind the counter.
>As he begins to fill up a glass on the tap, Voltage turns to you.
>”What kind of food do they have here?”
“Normal bar food, burgers, that kind of stuff.”
>”Ah,” Voltage says.
>The table goes into silence for a moment before you hear the crackling of speakers as the radio comes to life.
>Some thirty-year old rock song plays over the bar’s speakers, filling the small room.
>You look to Voltage.
>She faces Draft, watching him fill your glasses, but turns when she sees you looking.
>If you’d like to start things off with a question, now would be a good time.
>Or maybe you’d like to wait for her to start.

>>27101957
So, where abouts you from V? You lived here your whole life?

>>27101957
You like your powers being electricity? I think it can be nasty what that can do to somepony.

>>27102011
>think it can be nasty what that can do to someone.
Kinda kinky too.

>>27102166
You've been watching that weird porn again haven't you anon.

>>27101996
>>27102011
>>27102166
>>27102228
“So, where are you from, V? Have you lived here your whole life?”
>”Not my whole life. I’m a Manehattan girl at heart. Grew up and went to school there, but I moved here a couple years back to work in the power plant, you know?”
>She scratches her nose.
“City mare your whole life?”
>”You got it. So what about you? Where are you from?”
“Me? I’ve lived in Maretropolis all my life. Never left. But speaking of power plant, do you like your powers being electricity? Sounds like it could be really nasty what that can do to somepony.”
>Voltage nods sharply and raises a hoof.
>Little static sparks dance across her yellow fur, crackling in the air.
>”Yeah, if there’s anything they taught us in training, it’s that electricity is scary. It sounds really morbid, but it’s actually really easy to kill someone with electricity. The times I have had to use my powers, I feel like I have to hold back more than anything. Low amps, high voltage,” she says, giving a little wink.
>”But I couldn’t tell you with a straight face that it isn’t really cool, and there are totally worse powers to get. I mean look at this.”
>She holds her hooves up towards her head.
>Her mane stands on end, reaching towards her outstretched hooves.
“I guess it does sound pretty neat.”
>Voltage puts her hooves down on the table, gesturing to you.
>”So how about you? Do you like being the mare on fire?”

>>27102244
Hell yeah. It's got a neat intimidation factor to boot.
It feels nice to have it lit up and flowing freely.

>>27102244
It fits me well, for better or worse. It's pretty cool, but I can't deny it's caused problems.

>>27102244
It's kinda the best power ever, I just wish I could do more with it.

Be more versatile. Maybe it'll just take some practice and creative thinking.

>>27102340
i believe we can make a flaming sword and shield during our training, but all we make are walls and fireballs

>>27102276
>>27102291
>>27102340
>>27102374
“It fits me well, for better or for worse.”
>Voltage nods, seemingly in agreement.
“I mean, it’s caused problems, but it certainly is pretty cool, and it’s got a nice intimidation factor to boot. Feels pretty good to have it lit up and flowing freely.”
>”I definitely agree with you on that intimidation thing. I mean, I tried to keep on a brave face when I was fighting you, but it’s not easy to do when the pony you’re fighting is on fire.”
“I definitely wouldn’t change it for anything else, I just wish I could do more with it. Be more versatile, you know?”
>She tilts her head.
>”What do you mean? What kind of stuff do you want to do that you can’t?”

>>27102399
Well I can create a solid wall of flame, but I haven't really tested how much I can use solid fire.

>>27102399
Well, fire is so free form, I think it could be shaped into anything, some flying fire dragons and other things. Awesome things, not just walls and spheres.

>>27102399
Something more physical maybe. Grab things, making a ramp, that kind of thing.
I've had a bit of success with sneaking too, so a less flashy use would be nice.

Guys
What if we could swathe our chain flame

>>27102399
Turn literally into fire or become an elemental for a short time.

Turning the bathtub into a jacuzzi, Jet propulsion, spitting/controlling lava, because spitting lava just sounds kinda cook.

Hey think we could control magma if we mix fire and an earth orb that would be super sweet.

>>27102482
Oh and super heating rooms without lighting everything on fire because that would super handy when taking on a guy in heavy armor.

Actually I'm not sure if we can already do that but I'd like to try.

>>27102433
>>27102436
>>27102439
>>27102481
>>27102482
>>27102519
“Fire’s pretty free form, but I haven’t done much outside of walls and fireballs. You know, make flying fire dragons or something awesome like that.”
>Voltage gives a little smile.
>”Well, that certainly does sound like something special. Can you just not do that or what?”
“It’s more like I haven’t tested it much. Heck, it would be kind of cool to grab things or make a ramp, that kind of thing. Spitting lava, controlling magma, turning a bathtub into a jacuzzi, superheating a room without lighting it on fire, turning literally into fire, heck, even jet propulsion would be pretty neat On top of that, something less flashy would be nice, I’ve had some success with sneaking.”.
>”Damn, sounds like you’ve given it a lot of thought. You can’t do all that, right?”
“Not yet, but some of it would be neat to learn. Actually, I was thinking maybe I could swathe my chain in flame. You know, I think that could work," you say, talking to yourself.
>”Guess that’s what our training is for, right?”
“Yeah, guess so.”
>Draft returns, setting your drinks on the table.
>The two of you order your meals, just a pair of burgers, and Voltage decides to change the subject.
>”Okay, I got a question for you. Do you like being a part of this whole superhero thing? You ever think you’d want to move away eventually, or do you like it here?”

>>27102635
While things can get pretty hairy here, no, not really. I've lived here all my life, and that's what I like.

>>27102635
Haven't really thought that far ahead. It's a rush, but I wouldn't want to do this forever.
As for moving, I don't know. I've never been anywhere else, but I guess I might have to move eventually.

>>27102635
As much as I complain about it...leaving makes me worry about things getting really boring afterwards.

But I'd leave if I had a good reason to or someone to leave for.

How about you?

>>27102635
I'm talking your ear off about my powers, do you have any cool ideas for powers or things you'd want to try out?

>>27102701
Yeah, we shouldn't keep the convo one sided.
We should ask about her hobbies and stuff.

>>27102680
>>27102682
>>27102688
>>27102701
>>27102741
“Yeah, as much as I complain about it, I’m worried that if I leave, things will get too boring. Say what you will, but this city’s certainly a rush. But if I had a good enough reason to? Yeah, I’d probably leave.”
>”That makes sense, yeah.”
“I mean, I definitely don’t want to do this forever. Even though I’ve lived most of my life here, I’ll probably leave eventually. How about you?”
>”Yeah, I guess I don’t have the same attachment to it as you, but this place has kind of grown on me recently. Like you said, it’s a rush.”
“Hey, I’ve been talking my ear off about my powers, do you have any cool ideas for powers you’d like to try out?”
>”Oh, well I guess I haven’t given it as much thought as you have, but I have a couple.”
“Lay ‘em on me.”
>She puts her hoof to her head, tapping it as she thinks.
>”First thing I wish I could do was throw lightning bolts, like some pony version of Zeus. I can move some stuff with my electricity, but it’s nowhere near as good as a unicorn.”
>She gives an uneasy smile.
>”It’s kind of silly, but I think it would be really cool to use my powers to make a weapon. Have you heard of high frequency blades?”
“A little.”
>”Well I hear that you send an alternating current through a sword to make it vibrate at a high frequency. I haven’t been able to get it work, but it’d sure be neat.”

>>27102857
That does sound cool. You could use that kind of cutting power for a lot of things.

>>27102701
>do you have any cool ideas for powers or things you'd want to try out
Yeah, like have you ever defibrillated someone? Can you get the amps low enough to do that properly?

>>27102857
Maybe your not using the right kind of materials.
I think what the sword is made of might have a part in it.

>>27102857
You ever try putting a bunch of current into a coil of metal and making a kickass electromagnet?

>>27102857
That could be neat, but that means you'd also have to practice sword play.

>>27102857
Just like in videogames, huh?

>>27102902
She's more of a fist fighter at this moment.
Maybe wrapping the coils around her hooves and using them like electro-gauntlets would be neat.

>>27102979
I just meant as an experiment. How can we know what would be useful in combat until we know what the powers can and cannot do? SCIENCE!

>>27102902
>>27103003
To hell with electromagnets, get a second coil of wire, loop them both around a metal donut, and build a high power transformer that can deliver ten thousand volts at only a quarter of an amp! Living fucking cattle prod!

Did we get invaded by tinepone?

>>27103078
Sorry. Electricity gets me excited.

>>27102880
>>27102883
>>27102892
>>27102902
>>27102945
>>27102965
>>27102979
>>27103003
>>27103059
“Just like in video games, huh?”
>”You got it.”
“Well, maybe you’re not using the right materials? I think what the sword is made of might have a part in it.”
>She nods
>That’s… A good point. Maybe I’ll try it if I ever get the chance.”
“That does sound pretty cool. That amount of cutting power could definitely be useful, but you’d also have to practice swordplay.”
>”Yeah, and there’s also the problem of ever getting to use it. Unless I was up against a bunch of robots, I don’t think using a sword in a fight would be a very good idea.”
“Maybe not. It would still be useful for other stuff. Say, random question, but have you ever defibrillated somepony?”
>Her eyes widen.
>”Oh heavens no, I don’t know if I trust myself to do that.”
“But could you?”
>”Maybe if there was a pony in front of me who really needed it and there was no defibrillator around, then I would try, but other than that, no.”
“Say, have you ever tried putting a bunch of current into a coil and making an electromagnet?”
>”A few times. I know I can do that at least.”
“Well how about wrapping the coils around your hooves and using them as electroguantlets?”
>That brings a smile to her face.
>”That sounds really cool. You know what, who needs an electromagnet? I could get a second coil of wire, wrap them around a metal donut, and build a high power transformer that delvers ten thousand volts at only a quarter of an amp!”
“I understood some of those words.”
>”It means that I could be a living cattle prod!”
>A grin spreads across her face, a smile stretching from ear to ear.
>”Do you think we could build it after we’re done with lunch? Would Tinker have the parts?”

>>27103161
Probably. Tink has a lot of shit lying around and it's not like he uses all of it.

>>27103161
>building a transformer
Yay! Let's shock the fuck out of some stuff!

>>27103161
Well, it's just wire and metal right? I'm sure he's got that.

>>27103161
Tink's happy to help too, I'm sure. He likes experimenting.

>>27103215
I'm pretty sure shocking most things results in the same thing setting them on fire does. They get shocked, or set on fire.

>>27103161
Has anyone told you your really cute when you're all excited about electrocuting stuff Shocky.

>>27103224
>same thing
Not necessarily. As long as you keep it below a hundred milliamps electricity is non-lethal, and ridiculously high voltage will cause intense muscle spasms. You could take someone down without causing any permanent damage. Can't do that with fire.

Hell, we're only limited by how tightly we can wrap the coil. The more we have the higher the voltage and lower the amperage.

>>27103266
Sorry, I was being nonspecific. When things are shocked, they are shocked. When things are set on fire, they are set on fire, that's all I meant.

>>27103196
>>27103215
>>27103216
>>27103224
>>27103252
>>27103266
“It’s just wire and metal, right? I’m sure that Tinker’s got it in his pile of useless shit? I’m sure he’ll be happy to help too.”
>”Yes!” she says, pumping her hoof.
>She continues to whisper to herself about electricity, and you let out a good-natured laugh.
“Has anyone ever told you that you’re really cute when you’re all excited about electrocuting things?”
>Blood fills up her face and she looks away, smiling.
>She regains her composure quickly and waves a hoof at you.
>”I’m sure you have things that you like to do just as much, though. What makes you happy?”

>>27103346
I like to drive my bike fast and I like to burn stuff down. I'm a mare of simple tastes.

>>27103346
My bike and everything about her.

>>27103346
I like working on my bike, stuff like that.
Building and fixing things is calming.

>>27103346
Long, romantic motorcycle rides on the beach, cuddling up inside of fires, cute excitable ponies.

>>27101677
testing

>>27103373
>rides on the beach
The next date should be a picnic on the beach.

>>27103384
Good news, you're not banned.

>>27103388
It'll be easy to make a nice bonfire, for smores and the general enjoyment of fire.

>>27103373
>cuddling up inside of fires
Maybe someday

>>27103603
“I like long, romantic motorcycle rides on the beach, cuddling up inside of fires, and cute, excitable ponies.”
>She lets out a little giggle, a little bit of the blush returning to her face.
>”Well, inside a fire doesn’t seem like the healthiest option for me.”
“Maybe someday we’ll figure it out,” you say wistfully.
“Okay seriously though, what kind of stuff do you like?”
“I like to think of myself as a mare of simple tastes. I love my bike and everything about her, I like to burn things down, and I like to fix things.”
>”Yeah, I could get behind that,” she says, nodding.
“Building and fixing things is just so calming. Can’t think of anything better to do when I’m upset or angry and need to cool off.”
>”I know exactly what you mean, have to love those cutie marks, right?”

>>27103614
Well the next time I have to destroy and/or build anything, know that you're at the top of the list.

>>27103614
They do come in handy. Also a nice excuse to stare at butts.

>>27103614
It's always good when I can go a long time without someone pissing me off.

>>27103614
Speaking of cutie marks can we get a look at your?

>>27103634
>>27103650
>>27103653
>>27103752
“They certainly do come in handy. Also a nice excuse to stare at butts.”
>”I heard that, for sure,” she says.
“And hey, it’s always good when I can go a long time without someone pissing me off,” you say, half-jokingly.
>”I imagine. I know you’ve said that you’d have a lot of trouble with supers for a long time.”
“That’s to say the least, but why don’t we go back a little bit?”
>”Sure, what do you want to talk about?”
“I was just wondering if I could get a look at your cutie mark.”
>”Sure thing,” she says, nodding.
>She hops down from her chair and stands sideways on to you, presenting her flank.
>Her cutie mark is a somewhat crude picture of a transmission tower with four bolts of blue-white electricity leaping off of it.

I’m gonna pause for the day. Thank you all for playing, and I’ll see you all tomorrow.

As always, if you have any comments or questions, be sure to ask.

>>27103901
It's always nice to hear a pony's story. So what's yours?

>>27103901
Cute.
Give it a poke.

>>27103901
Nice flank.

beb

What is today but yesterday's tomorrow?

>>27109237

>>27103901
Wow, we've been talking so much with volt, has either of us even touched our beer?

>>27111316

>>27103945
>>27103961
>>27103963
>>27111403
>You reach out and poke her flank.
>It gives a little, squishing underneath your hoof.
“Cute flank,” you comment.
>She seems surprised at your prodding, pulling her flank away and covering it with her tail.
>But she doesn’t seem angry, just giggling a little bit as she rubs her flank.
“Oh you…” She comments.
“It’s always nice to hear a pony’s story, what’s yours?”
>”Oh, my cutie mark story? It’s nothing special.”
“Tell me anyway.”
>”Alright,” she begins, crawling up back onto her chair.
>You pass a sideways glance to your beer.
>You’ve been talking so much, neither of you have really touched your drinks.
>You take a swig of your beer and she does too, beginning her story.
>”I had done some electrical work at home with my parents before, but I never realized that it was my talent. So I was in elementary school at the time, and we had a pretty big auditorium. One day, we came into the room, and the lights wouldn’t turn on. No matter what we did. My friends and I liked to hang out in places we shouldn’t be, so I knew the janitor’s closet had a maintenance ladder that led up to the ceiling.”
>She takes a sip of her drink.
>”So I grabbed some wire and a flashlight, opened the fuse box, and flipped off the electricity leading to the auditorium. So then I climbed up the ladder and crawled on the auditorium ceiling -mostly along the air ducts- until I found the problem. It turns out some rats had been chewing on the wire and got electrocuted. I can still remember the smell, it was really pretty gross. I replaced that broken wire all on my own. I did get in a bit of trouble, and they called my parents because I wasn’t supposed to be up there, and I got in even more trouble from them for fiddling with electricity on my own, but I didn’t care, I got my cutie mark!”
>She finishes by looking down to her flank with pride.

>>27113014
Rebellious, I like it.

>>27113014
We should reciprocate with our own CM story.
She got a high voltage electrical tower cutie mark from working on comparatively low voltage lighting? It's like her cutie mark itself was telling her to turn it up a notch.

>>27113103
It did electrocute a rate. The dangerous part is amperage, not voltage.

>>27113103
Yeah let's tell our st- wait what's our story?

>>27113054
>>27113103
>>27113146
>>27113160
“Rebellious, huh? I like it.”
>She gives a mischievous smile.
>”Yeah, I was a little bit of a troublemaker. Course, I tried to be sneaky, but turns out ventilation shafts are really noisy. Half the school heard me.”
“Still, pretty neat story.”
>”Well thanks, but don’t think you’re getting away without telling me yours. Come on, how’d you get that wheel on that squishy flank of yours?”
>She gestures downwards towards your butt.

>>27113170
Do we have an official story that I forgot? I can't recall one. I imagine high-risk drag racing was involved.

>>27113146
Yeah, I know. I just meant that an electrical tower (her CM) has about a thousand times the volts. I just like that her CM was basically saying yeah, your talent is electrical work, but don't think you're limited to the household stuff. Sky's the limit.

>>27113188
There is not official story for Easy's cutie mark yet.

You're free to write it if you want, or give ideas and I can fill out the rest.

Fuck I'm not creative enough for this shit

>>27113205
Sweet.

>>27113170
We were in a race. Me and this one pony couldn't agree on who had to pay for lunch and the only logical conclusion was to risk killing ourselves racing at a hundred miles an hour through crowded city streets. We finished the race on fire. It was fucking awesome.

Yeah, I was in jail for a few days after that. Guess neither of us had to pay for lunch.

>>27113248
Also, the exact moment we got the cutie mark was when we were at the peak of a jump after using small car as a ramp. I think there was a guitar solo in the background.

>>27113170
Say we got in a jr. bikers race our dad put us in were we got to build our own bike and race it,
maybe we didnt win but that was becasue things started catching fire in the end...as they usually do when were involved with things.

>>27113300
Sounds good to me

>>27113300
I prefer burning rubber over catching fire. We should also win, just because we're awesome.

>>27113353
>>27113300
When I say thing started catching fire we mean everything but our bike...we tried to do something we saw in a movie...it was worth it.

>>27113353
Can't we burn rubber AND catch on fire? Maybe crash through a window too?

>>27113369
Oh fuck yes, this.

>>27113353
>We should also win
I figured we did win but we got disqualified because everything got turned extra crispy.

“Back when I was a little foal, my dad and I built a bike together so I could enter into this junior biker’s race.”
>She raises an eyebrow.
>”How young were you when this happened?”
“Not old enough to drive, I can tell you that much. It wasn’t exactly legal.”
>You give a little smirk.
”There was this kid I hung around with who entered the race too, so we had a little bet that whoever lost had to pay for lunch. So naturally, it became a thousand times more serious.”
“So during the race, I started doing stuff I saw in the movies, because you know it’s never fun unless you almost die, right?”
>Voltage nods, intrigued by your story.
“So I started setting stuff on fire, burning rubber, and other dangerous stuff. All stuff I saw in a movie, but didn't end up exactly as I intended. I got this mark right as I was at the peak of a jump, I had used a smaller car as a ramp.”
>You sigh as your mind goes back in time, the moment still firmly planted in your memory.
>You could almost hear the guitar solo.
“Anyway, I totally came in first, but I was disqualified for ridiculous amounts of property damage. I also went to jail for a few days, which sucked. But neither of us had to pay for lunch, so hey, can’t complain about that.”
>”That’s quite the cutie mark story.”
“It was fucking awesome. I’d trade a few days in juvie for a cutie mark any time.”
>”I’ll say… Gee, I don’t even know what to follow that up with. That’s something else, just wow.”

>>27113576
CHUG

>>27113576
Fucking metal.

>>27113576
Easy's dad should get most metal dad of the year for letting her do this shit. No wonder easy's mom got divorced that guy was not kid friendly.

But someone get that fucker a mug anyway.

>>27113576
Understandable. We can take it back a notch if you want.

>>27113679
we already got him a mug the has the writing "#1 metal dad" week after we left juvie

>>27113576
Ask about some of volt's hobbies.

>>27113719
In fact, we made that mug. You'd be surprised how hot you can get a pottery kiln.

“You want me to tone it back a little?”
>”Nah, that’s fine, it’s just that most cutie mark stories aren’t that sweet, you know? Just took me a little be surprise.”
>You chug the rest of your beer, downing it to the last drop.
“I even made him a ‘#1 Metal Dad’ in the art room next week. You’d be surprised how hot a pottery kiln can get, by the way.”
>You sigh longingly.
“I’m so glad he let me do stuff like that… Come to think of it, things like that are probably why my mom didn’t like me hanging out with Dad,” you say, shrugging.
>”I’ll say, he sounds like a pretty awesome guy.”
“He certainly was.”
>You fall into silence for a bit, reminiscing over your father.
>Draft comes and places a plate containing a burger and hayfries in front of each of you.
>Voltage thanks him and he returns to scrubbing tables.
“So Volt,” you begin, swallowing the food in your mouth. “What are your hobbies?”
>”Well, I was always a fan of model train sets. One of the neatest things about getting my powers was being able to run one just on my own electricity. I mostly like messing with electricity, cables, the like. Sometimes I’ll make useless stuff, maybe a clock, maybe one of those boxes that turns itself off, you know, that kind of thing.”
>”What about you? You’re into cars and motorcycles, right?”

>>27114028
Heck yeah I do. It's always relieving to hear an engine running perfectly.

Yep. Cars are awesome. Motorcycles too. As long as an explosion makes something go fast, I'm for it.

>>27114028
We like to sing a bit actually.

We're not completely one tracked....but cars and bikes are still cool!
She'll have to let us see one of her train sets sometime.

“Yeah, cars are awesome, and so are motorcycles. Really as long as explosions make something go fast, I’m for it.”
>”and you spend a lot of time working with them?”
“Heck yeah, though I used to spend a lot more time in a garage than I can now. I’d probably spend more time doing that if I could.”
>”But is that all you like doing?”
“Not just that. I haven’t told anyone this in a while, but I like to sing.”
>She leans forward, her eyes softening a bit.
>”Really? I guess I never really thought of you as a singer.”
“I don’t do it much.”
>”Now when you say you like to sing, do you participate in those weekly impromptu musical numbers, or do you just sing for yourself? I’m sorry if I’m getting too personal, you don’t have to answer.”

>>27114321
Well, getting just a little personal is what a date's for, isn't it?

>>27114321
I mostly sing along to the radio as I ride. Turn it up all the way and belt it out as I drive down the street at a hundred miles an hour...

Pure bliss.

>>27114321
I like it when I'm on my own. Then I can really get in the music and sing to my heart's content.

>>27114321
Oh god no.
Not those stupid musical numbers just for our self our mom made us take classes to try and doll us up.

These days sometimes we sing to pop songs now and again...Our favourite song is fireworks...don't tell anyone.

>>27114409
“Hey, getting a little personal is what dates are for, right?”
>”Yeah, I guess you’re right.”
“So to answer your question, no, dear God, not those stupid musical numbers. I sing mostly for myself.”
>”Nothing wrong with that.”
“Yeah, nothing better than riding along the streets, blasting the radio and belting it out at a hundred miles an hour. Or when you’re on your own, then you can really sing to your heart’s content.”
>”So what kind of music do you like?”
“I like to sing along to pop songs, mostly. My favorite one is, uh, firework.”
>You turn away, ears turning backwards and a little heat coming to your face.
“Please don’t tell anyone.”
>”Oh don’t worry, I won’t,” she says, letting out a small laugh.
>”You know, I don’t think I’ve ever seen you embarrassed about something. It’s actually really cute.”

>>27114692
Blush harder.

>>27114692
I-I don't get embarrassed by anything, ever, that's why!

>>27114692
Y-yeah well i-it's just not something that really happens to me a lot.

>>27114692
I'm not blushing, just so you know. It's an involuntary fire reaction... thing.

Shut up.

>>27114692
So what would you say our chances for a second date would be so far?

Maybe a picnic, someplace outside the hustle and bustle of the city?

>>27114743
>>27114754
>>27114756
>>27114776
>You blush harder, looking away.
“I-I don’t get embarrassed by anything ever, that’s why!”
>”Oh, definitely not. I’m sure there’s a good explanation for why your face is turning beet red.”
“It’s an involuntary fire reaction thing, i-it just doesn’t happen a lot, okay?”
>The table falls into silence for a moment, some part of you hoping that she bought it.
>You look at Voltage to find her sitting there with a smug grin on her face, one eyebrow raised.
“Shut up.”
>She reaches across the table, booping you in the nose.
>You immediately scrunch up, looking at her with your mouth open like a fish, feeling more flustered than you have in a long time.
>”Oh Celestia, you’re adorable.”

>>27114906
Scrunch harder.
"I'm not adorable! I'm the god of fire!"

>>27114906
Only one who's called me cute was Storm.
D-do you mean it?

>>27114932
we are the most tsundere pone

>>27114906
Your face is adorable!
wait...crap.

>>27114906
>>27115107
Confirm

>>27114932
>>27114954
>>27115012
>>27115107
>>27115148
>You scrunch even harder, your muzzle screwing up into your face.
“I’m not adorable, I’m the god of fire!”
>”I’d say those two things aren’t mutually exclusive. The god of fire is most certainly adorable.”
“The only other pony who’s called me that is Storm. D-do you really mean it?”
>She nods vigorously.
>”Definitely. You scrunch up like that and all I want to do is pull you close, squeeze you, and never let go.”
“Oh yeah? Well your face is adorable!”
>You freeze, immediately recognizing your mistake.
“Wait.”
>Voltage erupts into laughter, her loud laughs filling the small room.
>You try to cover your face with your hooves, hiding your embarrassment.
>Voltage takes a breath, calming herself down.
>”Man, if I knew it just took a couple compliments to turn you into mush, I would have done that half an hour ago. We should do this again sometime, don’t you think?”

>>27115236
Anytime, b-baka...

>>27115236
y-ya we should.
let try and calm down before anyone else see us like this

>>27115236
S-sure

>>27115236
More alcohol please.

>>27115236
Y-yes definitely!

Maybe we could go camping, ya know get away from it all and stuff?

>>27115281
>>27115302
>>27115317
>>27115326
>>27115328
“S-sure,” you say, just barely resisting the urge to add ‘b-baka.’
>You wave Draft down and ask him to get you another beer, which you get to drinking quickly.
>You definitely wouldn’t want anyone else seeing you flustered like this.
>The extra alcohol in your system helps you calm down, and you can feel yourself finally calming down.
>Clearing your throat, you speak more confidently.
“Definitely. Maybe we could go for a picnic somewhere outside the hustle and bustle of the city, or maybe we could go camping.”
>Voltage nods.
>”Camping sounds like a good idea, I could get behind that.”
>The two of you finish up your meals, you downing your second drink.
>Soon, it comes time for the bill, a small tab that Draft drops at your table.
>Looking down the list, it comes up to five bits per beer and eight for each burger, for a total of 31 bits.
>”Oh, don’t worry about that, Easy. I’ll get it,” Voltage says, reaching for the tab.

>>27115534
Before anybody has us pay, let's hear how much we have.

>>27115534

Heck no, man up and pay at least your part.

>>27115534
Blush more.
We don't get treated like this often.

>>27115557
.... I guess you're right.

>>27115557
>>27115574

>>27115568
So nice

>>27115583
Didn't see it on the list since I expected it to be listed separately from the items.

>>27115587
Thanks

>>27115534
No ones offered paid for us on a date before...thanks.

Then this>>27114743

>>27115645
Not like we've really gone on many dates anyway...

Easy ride's game has just be taken and crumpled up into a tiny paper ball and tossed in the river.

Next time we blink were going to end up as Voltage's cuddle slut. Not that I'd mind that.

“No one’s offered to pay for me on a date before. Thanks, Voltage”
>”Oh, it’s nothing.”
>You blush once again.
>You’re not used to ponies treating you like this, so it catches you off guard.
“But really, I can’t ask you to pay for me.”
>”It’s nothing, really. I still have a pretty big chunk of money from arresting Sludge.”
“So do I.”
>”Then I guess we’ll have to split it then.”
“Sounds good,” you say, wanting at least to do your part.
>Digging into your saddlebag, you throw 18 bits onto the table, and Voltage adds another 16.
>The two of you hop down from the table, looking at each other.
>”Thanks a lot for this, Easy. I had a lot of fun.”

>>27115734
Well, certainly not going to oppose it

>>27115739
Huuuuuug.

>>27115739
So did I. It was nice to get to know you some more.

>>27115752
>>27115769
These.

>>27115752
Think we'll get a kiss on the cheek too anon?

>>27115739
Time to raid Tinker's junk drawer and make those taser gauntlets.

“I had fun too. It was nice to get to know you some more.”
>”You too.”
>You reach in, pulling her into a hug.
>Your hoof wraps around her neck, and she quickly returns it, her cheek pressing against yours.
>Her chest fur mingles with yours, creating a small tickling sensation.
>As the two of you break the hug, Voltage gives you a passing peck on the cheek, which leaves you blushing and scuffing at the ground with a hoof.
>”Now come on, you dork, let’s go make some taser gauntlets!”
“R-right.”
>Voltage dashes off towards the back, you following right behind her.
>All of your composure vanished in just a few seconds. If you had spaghetti in your saddlebags, it would be all over the floor by now.
>What happened?
>Before you know it, you’re going to be Voltage’s cuddleslut.
>Come to think of it, that doesn't sound so bad, actually…

And that’s gonna do it for this week. Thank you all so much for playing.
Unfortunately, my schedule for the next weekend isn’t looking great, so unfortunately, there won't be a thread next weekend.
Thank you all for understanding, and I’ll see you in a couple weeks!

As always, if you have any questions, be sure to ask.

>>27116024
Can I get a description of what Voltage looks like. My hands are urging me to draw something from this moment.

Okay, she's a light yellow mare with a deeper yellow, slightly orange mane. Her hair is ruffled and messy, almost spiky.
When she uses her electricity, it often stands on end, and then falls into a generally unkempt fashion when she's not. She doesn't take care of it much at all.

This may look terrible, and make no sense, but it's how I envision it in my head. Feel free to take liberties if you think it looks like shit.
