Hey, didja know that there's actually quite a bit more to Equestria than most ponies know, at least geographically? Yep, there is. Why haven't ya heard of it? Well, the parts where most ponies live are the living, farming type areas, where everything is green and whatnot. There's actually an industrial area, smack-dab on the Stalliongrad-Equestrian border, pretty far up North. That, fillies and gentlecolts, is where I live.
My name is Crimson Bloom, and I'm one of the only Bat-Ponies on the entire face of Equis that aren't either serving in Luna's Royal Guard or hiding in the deep caverns of the ground. During the day, I work in a iron mine. My night job, though, is a bit different; I'm a waitress at a bar. Lots of filthy miners and Stalliongradi refugees like to hang out there, makes for good tips.
One day - the one that this story of mine'll start in - something kinda weird happens when I get inside my second job; everyone's quiet, nervous, pretty jumpy. Why? That'd be The Alien, aka Ole' Deadeye. He got here on Equis three years ago and kind of started wandering. Guess he somehow winded up her, at my bar. Guess what? That night changed my life forever...wanna hear why...? (Not a clopfic, by the way.)
(P.S. Adventures suck!)
Inspired, in part, by Left With a Kiss by Comet Burst, with some elements similar to those of Romantically Apocalyptic, and, of course, my own flair.
Also, expect some steampunk influence.
I should also probably mention that the cover image is slightly inaccurate; that's not really what "'Ole Deadeye" looks like. Anyway, congratulations if you actually read the entire description; have a cookie.
Onward to glory! Read, read my pretties, read, read!
Thanks!
