"I don't think shaking him is a good idea." Nivalia says as she grabs the startled pony's hoof. "Don't worry, you're safe, and nopony's gonna throw anything dirty at you." She carefully lifts him up to his hooves, "My name's Nivalia, and this one over here is Caprica." Caprica herself slowly inches over to Potato Pony as Nivalia continues, "And that over is uh, ah what is it... Potato Ponie, that's it."

"Well it seemed like a good idea. Or maybe it was a bad idea. I think it was a good idea." The potato themed superhero says in response to Niv's request to stop shaking Sound.

Potato looks surprised when Niv says her name. He honestly though it was... What'd he even think it was? Floop...Flies...Flip...Something like that. When he's introduced he cut's in with "Yeah I'm Potato Ponie. Pony spelled with an IE instead of a Y though so please spell it right." The superhero kindly asks in a voice that subtly hints that Sound would get strangled if he spelled it wrong. It really annoyed Potato when they spelled it wrong.

"Yeah but anyways no hard feelings right?" Potato then asks Sound, hoping he wouldn't get over his fear and do anything irrational. Or at least bad irrational.

As the mare, whom had now introduced herself as Nivalia, helped him back to his hooves, Sound seemed to slowly calm down, only to look to the superhero when Nivalia introduced him, whom then went on to lecture Sound on how the name 'Potato Ponie' was spelt. Which... didn't seem to matter, since 'Ponie' was pronounced exactly the same as 'Pony'. Sound couldn't think of how often he'd be writing the name down, frankly. He didn't write many letters to people, save for his family, and the occasional one or two friends.

Oh, that's right, Sound still needed to introduce himself. He took a deep breath, still trying to calm his nerves a little, and deciding to try and let this moment be his first impression, rather than the one before.

Still feeling a little shaky, however, he simply raised a shaky hoof to give a feeble wave, and simply said "...S-Sound...". Alright, not all that good a first impression, but still better than being on the floor with a bird-foul stained rag on his face, screaming like he was falling off a cliff.

"Sound?" Nivalia asks, not completely sure if that was his name or just a random word he was saying due to his uneasyness. Deciding to just assume it was the pony's name, the mare continues, "Well then Sound, it's nice to meet you." The python, still looking at the caped crusader, simply flicks her to the once more before turning her attention to the colt her owner is addressing. Slithering back over the mare's shoulders, Caprica surprisingly doesn't reach out to interact with Sound, but instead just looks at him, her tongue flicking out as she tastes the air. Glancing over to her pet, Nivalia shifts to her bags, "Oh, did you need some water dear? An apple? I just finished shopping so I'm good on ingredients." She turns to Potato Ponie, "What about you? Thirsty? A bite to eat?"

"Naw, I'm good. I just went shopping myself. Actually now that I think about it I still need to pay that guy. Hope he hasn't called the guards yet..." The superhero says as he looks around. 

Unable to find it he shrugs and looks at Sound. "Well Sound did you want anything? I hit you in the face with that rag, so if you need anything I can get it." Potato offers, hoping that he can get rid of any anger Sound might have because Potato hit him in the face with a poop rag.

"Well Sound did you want anything? I hit you in the face with that rag, so if you need anything I can get it."

Fair as that seemed, Sound simply shook his head with an accompanying "...N-No thanks...", indicating to Potato a respectful declination of the offer. Though it showed he was willing to make up for the earlier unintentional act, Sound didn't want to inconvenience Potato. All he really wanted was a drink, but that could wait until he went home.

Though he was interacting with Potato, Sound's eyes never left the creature on Nivalia's back, the serpent named Caprica. It's constant, unblinking staring at him was unnerving, despite it's obvious lack of danger. After all, who in their right mind would carry a poisonous snake around town?

Nivalia notices Sound's startled fixation with Caprica, who in turn simply looks right back at the blue colt. "Caprica." The mare says as she pets the python's head, "Don't stare, it's rude." The snake simply begins slithering about and forms into a coiled ball once more, tucking her head in as Nivalia picks her up and places her back in her bag. "Sorry about that Sound, she likes meeting new ponies; but sometimes she'll act like she's never seen one before." The mare looks around, the setting round them seems to have calmed down since the incident with the hawk, citizens return to their regular business as the sunny day warms the town below. Nivalia suddenly glances to Potato Ponie with a curious look, "Oh hey, what ever happened to that manticore I saw with you earlier today?"

"Oh well I got it back to it's nest. Pretty easy, minus the alpha male that was gaurding the nest. Those guys pack a bit of a punch. Yeah but anyways, after that was taken care of I got lost. That forest is weird by the way, feels like some weird magic stuff is in there. I eventually found my way out and bought some suplies, which I still need to pay for. Oh and I met some stallion with really great hair while trying to catch a thief. By the way have either of you seen a grey unicorn pass by?" The potato themed superhero says, assuming Niv not only wanted to hear what happened to the manticore, but also how the rest of his day was.

Oh well. After Marked and himself had decided to explore the park, the pepper themed pony yawned softly as they entered the forest, his large tail swaying back and forth, his hooves clopped along the ground.  From a bag hanging from his body he had withdrawn a long pepper, it's scent was mild and he was chewing on it like a snack, his mane hanging over one eye, and his long tail nearly brushing the ground as he wiggled it a bit. "Oh this is a wonderful park." He said looking to Marked, hardl noticing as they approached the trio of ponies..

"Yeah, its a nice place to relax," Marked replies, the scent of the pepper tickling his sensitive nose to the point of nearly sneezing, "one of the nicer spots in town really. I like coming around here to brainstorm ideas." For woke reason Marked started to wonder what exactly saying something was "nicer"than others meant. Obviously it meant its level of niceness was superior to that if the other locations in town by comparison, but did it also mean that saying such a thing made him sound like ye didn't think the other places were nice? Maybe by saying a place was nice you simultaneously imply that every other place is not so nice? Or simply not nice. This place was nicer so everywhere else wasn't so nice. That hill he was resting on earlier that day was nice too though. Maybe he should show that spot to Pepper. Was definitely one of his favorites. Or maybe he should stop being so fixated on what the word "nicer" meant, Marked wondering if the mild smell of the pepper his new friend was munching on like a snack was playing with his brain. Just as thid thought crossed his mind, Marked failed to hold off the tickly sensation plaguing his muzzle, the stallion finally giving in as he gave a loud sneeze into the knee of his foreleg.

Sound, not fully understanding the reasoning behind Nivalia's apology, responded with '...W-... I-It's okay... The s-snake isn't doing a-anything... t-to bother me..." This was not entirely a lie; it was actually the lack of movement from Caprica that had unnerved Sound. "...S-She's a... r-really n-nice snake..." he added, in attempts to be polite, though he realised the compliment sounded odd as soon as he said it.

Whilst he missed Nivalia and Potato's comments about a Manticore, he heard Potato's enquiry as to whether anyone had spotted a 'grey unicorn'. Well, that was somewhat vague. Sound guessed he had spotted about four grey ponies today, though he hadn't clocked onto any additional appendages, wings, horns or otherwise. Heck, one could have had a leg missing, and Sound would have probably overlooked it entirely...

The young colt gave a small jump as he heard a noise a distance behind him, his head turning sharply to glare behind him. Seeing it was simply a sneeze from one of two more nearby ponies, he simply looked back to his hooves.

"A grey unicorn? Hmmm..." Nivalia scratches her head slightly but shrugs, "No, I don't think I've seen one. What did they steal anyway?" Before she can get an answer a sneeze a short distance away gets her attention. "Gesundheit." she says to the sneezing pony before returning her attention back to Potato Ponie. As the mare conversed with the caped hero, Caprica pokes her head out of the bag, her tongue flicks out a few times as she tastes the particles in the air, more specifically the scent of peppers. The python silently slides out of the bag and onto the ground, heading straight for Sound as it slithers to find the nearby pepper. Paying no mind that the blue colt was in the way, Caprica slithers between his front hoofs, directing off to the side to get around him.

The potato themed superhero is about to tell Nivalia what was stolen, but a sneeze from somewhere interrupts him. "Skitabachi." Potato yells in the general direction of the sneeze, using the word in a "gesundheit" fashion.

He then turns back to Niv and says "Some mare's bit purse was stolen. Not sure whose, but I still need to get it back." in a "matter-of-factly" voice.

Pepper looked at Marked as he heard the rush of Guseinhedit themed reponses, ebfore pointing a hoof at the trio. "Hey! Let's see what thes eponies are up to shall we?" He said.  The long-mane'd ponies mane had agian fallen over one eye, obscuring it from view, his soft, fluffy coat of horsehair catching the breeze and sending out the sent of peppers before he stopped and let...out an aodrable little squeak. "Oh! It's a snake! I love snakes." He said as the stallion inched closer. "Hi little one..." He pursed his muzzle lips for a moment before nodding and pulling out a small, mildly spicy pepper. "Do you like peppers?" He asked the curious snake, setting the pepper infront of him, just mere feet away from the three.

Recap. Tall, leggy mare looking pony trots up, stops suddenly, offers snake a pepper. Go figure.

"Thank you," Marked replied to the trio of ponies who'd responded to his sneez, a long sniff following afterwards as he recovered and cleared things up, this, of course, only tickling his muzzle again and threatening another sneeze to follow the his previous one. Such a sneeze was apparently forgotten however as the sudden sighting of the snake caused Marked to give a small and startled jump before nervously holding out a hoof to Pepper as if to try and stop the pony he believed was a mare from getting too close. "Uh... Pepper? I don't think snakes eat peppers... Least not any kind I'd want to meet. Or, you know, get close too..."
