Intro Post
The train ride from Trottingham had been a rather dull experience all around. Pip wanted adventure. Excitement. And pirates! Yes....pirates. He was rather obsessed with pirates as his dress quickly gave away to anyone who gave the tiny colt a seconds glance. A small red bandanna was atop his head, the short brown hair of his mane poking out just above his eyes...er eye. Aye? He had an eye patch over his right eye with a skull on it. Very frightening. Oh -- and lest we forget -- two swords across his back. Well, not real swords. Wooden swords. But what would a pirate be without his weaponry? Defenseless, that's what..
When the train finally pulled into the station, Pip was about ready to go stir crazy. It's a bad idea to try and keep a colt locked down in a seat for who knows how many hours. The doors opened and Pip hurriedly rush out the door and past a few other ponies. His hooves moved a bit faster than his brain could keep up with though and he tripped and landed on the ground, all four feet splayed out.
"Great way to start your adventures in Ponyville, Pip." He said quietly to himself as he stood up, dusting himself off. Now which way was he going to go? This was the first time he'd actually been on his own, though technically not really alone, ever in his life. His parents had given him permission to leave, albeit they seemed oddly glad about it. He wasn't sure why. Grownups were weird like that.
