“Equestria.
Such a place of adventure, wonderment and friendship. It was a place where anything could happen, you never knew what to expect. Now this usually depended on what type of pony you were, some pony's actively looked for adventure, others simply got roped into it, however there were some ponies that adventure seemed to actively seek out. Usually ponies on an adventure had one adventure, taking them to some locations and generally solving some sort of dilemma. Other adventures simply were about traveling, ponies were a naturally curious and exuberant race, and each had that instinct within them to go out and see...something! Of course every pony was different, such is nature and all that, so there were always different ways to have and enjoy adventures. Now having mentioned adventures so much I suppose you're wondering when this adventure starts, but really, who can say when it ended.
To truly understand where we are going, you need to unlock a door with the key of imagination, beyond it is another dimension. A dimension of sound. A dimension of sight. A dimension of mind. You're moving into a land of both shadow and substance, things and ideas. You just crossed into the mind of Quip Crack.
When you have a mind such as his, who can tell what is an adventure and what is his daily life, who can say what is real and what might just be a figment of imagination. I'm going to attempt to bring you into the world of such a pony today, hopefully...you will truly see what I mean.”
“Quip...why are you talking to yourself?” came a soft sweet voice from the doorway to Quip's bedroom.
The clown pony jumped slightly, he was looking out of the window while monologuing to himself, acting overly dramatic, he turned to face his faithful assistant with a giggle.
“Well every thread needs an introduction Mad Cap” He giggled
“...What?” Mad Cap was more than a little confused.
“Never mind. Say, what time is it pray tell?” He asked in a posh put on accent.
“Um...8am” Mad Cap confirmed as she looked at the clock that was on the wall next to Quip, she was used to him asking stuff like that.
“WHAT?! Darn! I spent too long writing that monologue, I was meant to start the day at precisely midnight” He banged his hoof into his other hoof, if he had hands it would be more of a statement.
“What do you mean Quip?” came the sweet voiced reponse
“A day is 24 hours long, The day started 8 hours ago and spent I my time sleeping, and writing what felt like a very plagiarized introduction to said day” He paced around the room as he explained his thought process (or lack there of) to Mad Cap.
“Introduction to wha- oh you know what ,never mind, anyway, I wanted to tell you that we are out of milk, and its your turn to go to the store.” She smiled at his silliness
“AN UNTRUTH!” Quip then produced the shopping roter from behind him, which had previously been in the kitchen, he studied it with a magnifying glass before gasping in shock “huh..not only that but apparently the food that I bought last week was a lot more iffy than I thought according to these dates” He looked up at Mad Cap who looked at him unexpectedly “Oh fine! I'll go, guess today's gonna be one of those days” He sighed as he walked out of his room passed a rather smug Mad Cap.
As he descended the stairs of his strange cart, Quip sighed, he was hoping today would go a bit differently. Still, such is life, even Quip had to slow down once in a while. He opened the front door to his cart (which was actually on the side but, semantics and all that) and walked out into the world. The day was typically picturesque, the pegasi made sure of that. With not a cloud in the sky, Celestia's sun was free to shine down and warm up the day, however there was also a breeze that kept things cool, it was all beautiful to look at. Quip took a chance to take in the scenery for a moment, he'd been in this park for a few months now, Ponyville had seemingly welcomed him as one of their own. His multicolored cart had become a regular sight in the Ponyville park, ponies often made a point of visiting his shows or just hanging around the art in the effort of meeting him.
However he was pretty oblivious to this, he just thought ponies in Ponyville were friendlier than most, he hadn't yet realized that ponies were like this nearly everywhere he went. You couldn't find a single fault in the scenery today, it was all very serene. Quip, sadly didn't have time to admire it, he needed to get to the shops before they sold out milk, ponies love milk! The jester reached out behind himself and pulled out his trusty pogo stick! Admiring the red stick of pogo, Quip chuckled, he was one of the only ponies that could use one of these things, made him wonder how select their clientele actually was. He placed the pogo stick upright, somehow balancing it perfectly upright while he stretched his legs out. Taking a deep breath, he then leaped into the stationary standing pogo stick and bounced off down the street. The sound a metallic spring echoed around Equestria, causing more than a few ponies to look around in confusion, and some would see the Jester happily going along on his strange mode of transport.
Quip as making his way down the street, and to his credit he was actually going toward the store, and he wasn't getting distracted. But that wasn't going to last, and sure enough, soon something caught his eye. It was only a fleeting glance, really only a short look in one direction, but that was enough for Quip to see something. The something in question was a building he hadn't yet explored, an older looking building that really had some style to it. At the peak of one of his jumps, Quip grabbed the pogo stick from beneath him and did a series of intricate flips and landed on his hooves skilfully in front of the building, which got a few gasps and 'wow's from nearby ponies. Looking up at the building, Quip rushed over to a nearby sign that told of what this place actually was. The mini billboard was a show listing...this place was a theaters!! Quip disliked theaters, they bring up bad memories, but this place felt a little different, there was more an air of fun about this place than most theaters, which just had an air of drama around them. He was hesitant to enter, but he didn't have anything else to do today, so he dashed inside.
