Re: Starting Up in Smoke
By: Brash and Carri Date: June 1, 2016, 2:29 am
---------------------------------------------------------
Carri returns, flying above the crowd with a very large rock,
one might find it abnormal that a filly could lift a rock of
such a size.
Brash tries to flag her to stop with her hooves, but Carri just
moves faster toward her. "Stop!" Carri halts her flight at the
demand, "Go up!" Carri nods and flies upward. "Stop! Go left!"
Following orders again Carri heads right over the house. "Stop!"
Brash looks to Octavia and the crowd, giving them a moment to
hopefully take notice as to what her next command is going to
be. "Drop it!"
"Huh?" Carri tries to look under the rock to see if that would
be safe to do, she hadn't paid any attention to where Brash's
directions were bringing her.
"Drop the rock!" Brash yells.
Carri drops the rock without another thought, it plummets
straight through the house, windows shatter, the wooden
framework breaks in several places, and a cloud of dust
envelopes everything in the vicinity. As it clears Brash dusts
herself off, Carri is frozen in shock except for her wings which
keep her in place, and the rock successfully caved in the
basement which stops the smoke.
The house still stands but is now in shambles and beginning to
cave in.

Octavia and the group of ponies look up to see the small filly
carrying a rather large rock. Once they realize what she was
going to do, many were calling out to stop her, but it was no
use. Eventually, she dropped the rock as if it were a bomb, and
the house went up in an explosion of debris, followed by a thick
cloud of smoke. After the smoke had cleared, all the ponies
immediately went closer to the house to inspect the damage
caused. It was so horribly damaged, it wasn't going to last much
longer. "ARE YOU INSANE? YOU JUST DESTROYED YOU OWN HOME! WHILE
THERE WERE PEOPLE PRESENT! YOU COULD HAVE GOTTEN THEM KILLED IF
SHE DROPPED THE ROCK TOO EARLY!" Octavia practically shouted,
aimed at the two fillies, it wasn't long before other ponies
chimed in, eventually spreading to the whole crowd, making
similar comments, some booing and jeering the two. If Brash
wanted to get rid of everypony here, she failed miserably, and
it didn't look like the crowd was going to leave anytime soon.

Carri approaches Brash, shaken and scared of the angry mob of
ponies. She lands softly, legs wobbly, ears drooped and eyes
welling up with tears.
Brash, on the other hoof, was completely fine with all the
chaos. She had in fact believed the danger she incurred would
make her avoided after this is over, which is exactly what she
wants. Ignoring Octavia, now seeing her as just another part of
the rabble, she trots over to Carri, pulling a paper and pencil
from her jacket. "Alright, we're going to need some supplies to
fix all this." Of course Carri couldn't hear past the yelling
crowds, and was too consumed by grief to try and listen closer.
Brash rolls her eyes and begins writing.
Carri crumbles to the floor and hides her face in her hooves.

Serenity picks her way through the crowd. One might wonder why
she has such an easy time of it, but nopony wants to get in the
way of somepony carrying a laundry basket full of clothes
balanced on their head. Once close enough, she surveys the
damages. She shakes her head without dropping the basket, then
takes a sideways route through the throng, humming all the
while.
Eventually, she comes around to the fillies and Octavia, and
promptly slips on a card, dropping most of the laundry directly
onto Octavia. Seemingly dazed, she remains sitting. "Does it
have to be so loud here?"

Octavia could do little more than stare at the carnage, all of
her anger from before gone, replaced with the shock of what
happened setting in. The crowd around her has stopped their
shouting and jeering, but there is quite a lot of conversation,
with some ponies leaving the crowd with the intention of getting
help to fix this mess. She doesn't even notice the mare with the
laundry until it is too late, and next thing she knows, she's
covered under a pile of laundry. She picks her way out of the
pile, shaking off any clothes that may still be on her, and
looks at the mare who dropped the laundry on her. Of course, she
slipped on a card that the filly left on the ground. "Are you
alright miss? You're not injured? Apologies for the volume of
the crowd, they're just reacting to a large boulder destroying a
house." she says, pointing to what remains of the house.

Brash finishes writing and stuffs the note into Carri's jacket,
"Go ahead and deliver that to Canterlot." But Carri's sobbing
went uninterupted.
Brash takes a second to consider shaking Carri out of it before
turning to Octavia and Serenity, "It was a planned demolition. I
was trying to get everypony to go away before I went through
with it." Brash trots to the basket, repositions it closer to
Serenity, and begins tossing the spilled laundry into it,
believing the mare would leave quicker if she had that done.

Serenity rises to her hooves, nodding to Octavia in
acknowledgement of her concern. "I'm fine. Luckily I didn't land
on a spade. Those are sharp." She looks at Brash as the strange
grey filly gathers the spilled garments. "How long before a whim
becomes a plan, I wonder?"
She picks a long yellow scarf out of the air before it lands in
the basket, then approaches the crying Carri. Humming quietly,
she places a comforting wing over her and begins tying the scarf
in a large left-facing bow around her neck.

"Planned demolition? Please, everything you did was on the fly,
no planning whatsoever, and no consideration for others." she
says sternly, looking at the crying filly, making it obvious to
the black filly that she is referring to her. "You are quite
honestly the most rude, behaved, inconsiderate filly I have ever
met. What would your parents think of your behavior?" she says
harshly. Turning around, she picks up the card that the mare
slipped on, and by luck, it was the Ace of Spades. Walking up to
the mare and filly, she sits down, not intending to go anywhere.
"It may not be a gardening spade, but I'm sure this was close,
showing her the card, and setting it down in front of the two.
While this is happening, more ponies begin to show up, some from
the crowd from before, but the others were dressed in
firefighting and construction uniform, inspecting the ruined
house, asking ponies about what happened, some pointing to
either of the small fillies indicating that they had something
to do with what happened.

"About three seconds." Brash flatly answers Serenity.
Carri wraps her forelegs around Serenity whilst still sniffling.
"I didn't mean to destroy it." She says through quivering lips.
Brash looks away from Octavia dismissive of her rant, "Parent,"
Brash corrects, "or rather, what would my father have thought
were he still breathing? ... I suppose I wouldn't know. Under
his care I never much took a seat of action, but everything
seems fine to me." Brash looks over the crowd and the destroyed
home, then to Carri. "There are inconveniences about, nothing
more than small delays. And about my attitude? I suppose I could
keep in mind how sensitive you commoners are." She says with a
accusing hoof going over everypony around. Brash then spots a
pony pointing at her from the crowd in the corner of her eye and
shoots them an intense glare.
Carri buries her face into Serenity's chest, her crying now
muffled. She didn't seem to have heard Brash at all.

"Now now," Serenity coos as she wraps a hoof around the crying
filly and smooths down her mane with a wing. "It doesn't look
like anypony has been hurt, and that building looked stuffy
anyway." She sweeps up the ace of spades in her free wing and
tucks it behind Carri's ear. "I suppose it'll be a little drafty
now, but a little fresh air never hurt anypony."
After another moment she pushes the filly's face away and points
it towards her own, which has an encouraging smile on it.
"You'll be alright, right? Would it help if you knew some way to
help fix it?"
