Canon is Story Of The Blanks.

[goodatfindingthings]

 I wish you great luck in finding any place that would take me. I would love to finally escape that vile place.

But if it's not possible, it's alright. I saved her. That's what matters. So long as nopony else is trapped there, I've done well enough.

Comments

[harrisonfoal]

Now that's the spirit of a true hero right there.

[goodatfindingthings]

O-oh? Really? Thank you. But I'm not much of a hero. Anypony trapped where I was would have done the same. I'm sure of it.

[harrisonfoal]

And that's exactly it. Selfless. Not alot of ponies can claim that.

And ponies of pure heart deserve a chance at happiness of their own.

[goodatfindingthings]

I think more ponies can claim that than you think.

Everypony deserves happiness. No exceptions.

[harrisonfoal]

Well the world is big, I just happen to run into alot of the less savory types.

Anyway hapiness being what it's worth, what are the odds your mun is gonna give you a shot at it by sending you to a game?

[goodatfindingthings]

My mun is very eager to put me in a game. She's just worried about finding a place that would take me. That, and her first language isn't English. She's afraid she'll embarrass herself.

[harrisonfoal]

Well my Mun's been looking at this place called worldmart
There's already a princess there. And apparently they accept all types. Even the uh...no longer corporeal.

[goodatfindingthings]

I see. It sounds much better than being where I was, although I'm not sure what job I could do there... but I'm sure my mun will think of something. I'm still able to use a little magic, after all. Thank you so much.

My name is Ruby. And you are?

[harrisonfoal]

Well maybe I can help. What sort of things do you like to do? Other then helping ponies.

I'm Daring Do. Adventurer!

[goodatfindingthings]

I'm really good at finding things! It's what I got my cutie mark for. I can find anything, anywhere. I like searching for things, and solving problems.

Adventurer...? [Due to living in her little town, she's the one pony that hasn't heard of Daring Do before.]

[harrisonfoal]

Perfect! There's plenty of options there for someone who wants to help customers find things. Like Customer Service Representative or something.

Sure. I travel around the world seeking rare and historic objects to help preserve them.

[goodatfindingthings]

You're right. I didn't even think of that. Even though I may not look like it, I can see perfectly fine. All I'd need is a little time to learn what's there and where it is. [Ruby smiles, pleased to be useful and have a shot at leaving the remains of her awful home.]

That sounds like a wonderful job. Is it hard?

[harrisonfoal]

There you go! And you'd be able to make new friends doing it. I think if I get put there I'd like to work in maybe the book department, or possibly outdoor supplies or something. A market is a little low speed for my tastes but it would be fascinating to meet people of different species that you can't find on our planet.

It's very hard being an adventurer. The physical activity alone is enough to keep me sore but you gotta be smart too. And fast. Able to reach your target before anyone else. I love it.

[goodatfindingthings]

I'd love to have friends again. I wasn't exactly alone before, but my presence was more tolerated than anything. And to meet other species - it's like something out of a story.

You sound like you've found your calling. I'm surprised you'd be willing to quit for a bit and work in a market.

[harrisonfoal]

Well it's not exactly quitting, just a different type of adventure.

Besides I don't have much say in the matter. Muns have all the power around here.

[goodatfindingthings]

My mun hasn't made me do anything I don't want to do... but I've heard some muns can be vile. I suppose they're like anypony else in that way.

[harrisonfoal]

And that's why we ponies gotta stick together!

[goodatfindingthings]

Everybody with a mun should stick together, pony or not.

Story of the Blanks is canon in Pony POV

[shy_kindness]

Ruby, what a surprise! It's so nice to see you. It's nice to see you out of that village, too. How are you?

It is?

[goodatfindingthings]

I'm fine. Getting used to the world outside, I guess. Things are much brighter and more colorful than I remember... hurts my eyes sometimes, to be honest.

Yes. It is. You can read the fanfic, but it's very long.

[shy_kindness]

Um, is there anything we can do to help you with that? We can give you a tour of Ponyville...

I don't mind the length. Do you happen to have a link?

[goodatfindingthings]

Oh, I'll be fine. It's just nice to be out and about again. I think I might take you up on that tour some other time, though. My eyes still need more time to adjust.

How've you been?

[shy_kindness]

[Fluttershy nods understandingly.]

You can take all the time you need to adjust.

[...The Flutters decide to keep their death a secret. FOr now. Because they're Reapers.]

Um... [She nervously shuffles her hoof.] We're in a game... wonderfulworlds. It's... nice.

Thanks!

[goodatfindingthings]

I hope that other ponies will adjust to my eyes. I'd hate to frighten anypony, even on accident.

Are any of your friends at that game? I've heard it's possible to meet up with anypony at those things. [Ruby's been learning about games in bits and pieces.]

No problem

[shy_kindness]

Oh, I'm sure everypony else will be happy to see you.

Zecora and Pinkie Diane are in the game, but I also made some new friends, too. Ones like Kreutzer, Ryoji, and Joshua!

[goodatfindingthings]

I hope so.

My mun says I'll probably make more friends when I go to a game, but I'm nervous. I mean, aren't most people in games humans?

[cruel_kindness]

[Fluttecruel takes control.]

Who the buck cares if they're human? You can still make friends with humans. We did. You'll be fine.

[goodatfindingthings]

...they don't mind that you're a pony?

[cruel_kindness]

Not a single flying feather is given.

[goodatfindingthings]

That sounds wonderful. [She beams, reassured.] What are your new friends like?

[shy_kindness]

[Fluttershy takes control. She starts gushing about all the fabulous things her friends are. You, uh... may want to stop her.]

[goodatfindingthings]

[But Ruby doesn't. She's been alone s long she'll listen in rapt attention for hours.]

[shy_kindness]

[Even though she's only known the new friends she' made for a couple of weeks, she still finds a way to drag it on linger and longer, listing everything nice about them.

Sometime after...]

...and that's why I like them!

[goodatfindingthings]

Fluttershy, you're the most positive pony I've ever met. And I'm glad you're happy where you are, and that there's good people there. You deserve to be happy.

[shy_kindness]

[Fluttershy blushes a little at the comment, hiding behind her mane a little.]

Oh my.. Well, thank you, Ruby.

[goodatfindingthings]

Thank you for talking to me. I scared a few humans earlier and I was starting to worry I'd end up alone again.

[shy_kindness]

Um... you'll do fine with human eventually...

[She shuffles her hoof on the ground a little.]

[burning_wild]

Sounds like you've been to Tartarus and back.

[goodatfindingthings]

It's hard to explain. But I'll be alright. So long as I keep my spirit up, there's nothing more that can be done to me. [Since she is, more or less, literally just a spirit.]

[burning_wild]

[After being taken by the changelings, and the news of the newly formed Crystal Empire, anything that might have happened probably won't a surprise to her and is probably best forgotten.]

You don't need to explain yourself on my behalf, just try to relax.

Name's Wild Fire, and you are?

[goodatfindingthings]

My name is Ruby. It's nice to meet you.

[burning_wild]

Likewise.

Don't worry, I'm sure your mun will figure something out, there's bound to be a few games that will take you.

[goodatfindingthings]

I think you're right. I mean, my mun's already gotten a suggestion, so maybe it's not as hopeless as she thought. She can be a bit of a downer sometimes.

[burning_wild]

Ain't that the truth. You should have seen my mun few weeks ago panicking about princess Twilight.

Needless to say, he's pretty embarrassed about it now.

[goodatfindingthings]

Everypony makes mistakes, I guess. Even muns.

[burning_wild]

Especially muns. But you get the point.

[goodatfindingthings]

So, what game are you in, Wild Fire?

[burning_wild]

None at the moment. Currently my mun's just being a lazy bum about these kind of things, he's thinking about that World Mart place though.

[goodatfindingthings]

It'd be nice if we both got to go there. I wouldn't want to be the only pony there, after all, and it sounds like an interesting place. You should come with me. My mun's going to app me there. I'm positive.
