[Stillwater Meta: Day 3 (p. 4)] Mystery Figure [OPEN]

Your Pony: T.Rubble
Their Mood: Trubble is feeling mighty suspicious.
Their Actions: Trubble couldn't say much, after all - she'd been a stranger to the town too. Her great-aunt had left her the old farmstead almost two years prior. She knew what it was like settling in. She might have even been a little sympathetic - save for the fact that she'd seen neither hide nor hair of these strangers, and that they'd bought barren land that had long gone unwanted. Worth investigating? Heck yes. She skirted the edge of their land on her morning trot around the territory in an effort to get some sort of clue about these new strangers.

Your Pony: Steady Breath
Their Mood: Aloof, unconcerned
Their Actions: Steady Breath had of course heard the rumors, but they intended to mind their own business. If they happened across any new faces, they would be polite, maybe offer their services, but they had no desire to go seeking out the strangers.

Your Pony: Sweet Petite
Their Mood: Intrigued
Their Actions: Sweet Petite hoped the newcomers were on the wealthier side of things. Either way she mentally added a break-in to her to-do list. She'd be keeping her eyes and ears even more peeled than usual to learn if they had any consistent routines that took them away from the property. If she were really lucky someone would throw a welcoming party, a perfect opportunity to break in.

Your Pony: Citrus Blossom
Their Mood: Heard about sale, not interested.
Their Actions: Citrus couldn't help but hear the news about the sale, first from her parents, and then all the "chatty cathy's" around the town. She didn't understand what was the big deal. The people of the town knew it was bad land, so if some outsider wanted to take up the place... let them struggle. It was kind of weird that there have been no sightings of anyone new around, but not like it really concerned her though. Right now, getting these errands her parents asked of her out of the way was way more important.

Your Pony: Nose-to-Tail (Nota)
Their Mood: Disappointed, but curious!
Their Actions: Disappointed the estate sale was over before it started, Nota stands behind the counter listening to the gossip about the new faces outside of town. Has anyone seen them yet? No? Between customers he chats with the family behind the counter about it, instead of watching the TV. He thinks this is more interesting than his soaps. And may be good for business! He wants to wander out that way for a "delivery," but a younger sibling beats him to it. So, at the end of the day it's off to the local watering hole for the latest buzz instead! --wc 100

Your Pony: Sundapple
Their Mood: Curious, Contenplating
Their Actions: Sundapple had heard that outsiders had bought the old estate. She decided to go to the pub for dinner to hear about them. Maybe there would be news on the condition of the house and furniture. If they were in poor condition she would get more work.



you can look beside you, and your best friend will be there."🐾

Your Pony: Lackadaisy Limelight
Their Mood: Curious
Their Actions: Lime had heard the buzz that somebody had bought the old Bywater farm and that newcomers were already on the property. He wasnt a farming pony but many said that property was no good. Maybe the newcomers saw potential in it, like Lime had when he bought and restored the old recreational centre a couple years ago, despite what others said. Perhaps later he would go for a convienant jog past Bywater to catch a glimpse of the newcomers.

Your Pony: Zippy aka Zipperdoodle and other ridiculous nicknames
Their Mood: peppy/curious
Their Actions:
Even though he didn't own the "water hole" of the town, lots of gossipers still came to the Zip-Rite Farmacy. Through the grapevine, he heard about the sale going down at the town's strangest plot of land. He couldn't let that slip past him, so he decided to close up shop for making a "delivery" to Bywater. He liked to know new ponies, and def needed to meet the new mysterious new neighbors.

Your Pony: Shallow Grave
Their Mood: Cautious but curious
Their Actions: Grave didn't much go in for the gossip being thrown about in his Barber's shop, or Salon as he preferred to call it, he heard it though and he had to admit that he was curious about a possible newcomer to the town, Perhaps a chance to make a new customer? He definitely had to go see the state of whoever it was that was going to take over that disaster of a farmstead, especially their hair.

Your Pony: True Blue
Their Mood: Curious
Their Actions: Having come into town that day to get supplies, Blue was intrigued to hear about the news circulating through the town. She didn't normally consider herself a busybody, she'd leave that to the local gossips in town, but... that didn't stop her from making her way over to the Bywater estate, to see what manner of pony would by that trap of land.

Your Pony: Burning Passion
Their Mood: Interested
Their Actions: Though she doesn't outright portray that this has grasped her entire interest, Passion is very interested in who might have gotten this land. As it were the land was rather barren for any normal means of farming and there wasn't much to work with either for hunting parts for smithing. However, she wants to know who bought it and what they will do with it. That and see if they will be coming by for any projects.

Your Pony: Busy Bee
Their Mood: Worried and curious, but friendly
Their Actions: Busy Bee had just gone into the center of town for a lunch break from tending her bees when she began to hear murmurs of the news concerning the Bywater farmstead. Apparently someone had bought it! Oh she hoped the new neighbors would be nice... maybe she could even make some friends! She sure hoped they liked honey, because she would definitely be bringing them some later as a welcome present.

Your Pony: Sonata Gold
Their Mood: Curios, but pretending he's not
Their Actions: Sonata Gold's interest is piqued, but not enough to check things out. He sees all the ponies trotting past the estate and scoffs at them, sure that whatever fool bought the land would be gone as quickly as they arrived.
 
Your Pony: Stellar Shock
Their Mood: Scared ((bugs)) curious a little annoyed
Their Actions:
Stellar glared out the window of his shop window....buugggssssssss. He was ready to bunker down until they were gone, that is until he heard from a customer about the early sale. Darn darn darn he was hoping the land would drop super cheap so he could turn it into an agility course and pet day care. He closed the shop and braced himself for the heat and bugs. He was tempted to swing by the farm but instead he headed for the mayor's office to ask just why these buyers got to buy outside of the schduled estate sale.

Your Pony: Daintyflight
Their Mood: Busy but curious
Their Actions: Dainty was too busy in the pear orchard to really care what was going on. When bucking trees its often better to focus on your task. She has gotten far too many knocks on the noggin to forget that lesson so quickly. By the time she and the crew were done it was late and she was dirty... but the estate was on the way home so a peek wouldnt hurt... right?

Your Pony: Swiftsugar
Their Mood: Wary, curious, slightly excited
Their Actions: "Well I'll be a junebug's butt..." Was exactly Swifty's response to this whole thing. He'd seriously considered going straight to the mayor's office to ask directly just what in blue blazes was up, but chances were the mayor was gonna be swamped with ponies doing just that... Instead, he decided when he got the break in his chores to go meander by ol Bywater himself. New ponies meant potential new business at the co-op, after all!

Their Mood: curious, worried, hopeful
Their Actions: wondering who would have bought the farm that was but rock and clay. hoping that they don't regret their decision to buy and leave. puttering about their own fields and keeping busy because the farm doesn't stop just because something new has happened.

The end of the day proved to be a busy one; while some residents went about their business, and others gathered at the local watering hole in hopes to glean a bit of happenstance of the odd occurence, most ponies in Stillwater seemed to want to catch some glimpse of the strangers themselves. Those wandering towards the mayor's office would be sorely disappointed, though, as neither hide nor hair of anypone could be seen. Those curious enough to head over towards the Bywater Estate itself, however, would find what they were looking for - and probably a bit more than they were bargaining for! Apparently gossip travelled quickly in that little town; it spread fast enough that a crowd was gathered by the time the sun began to sink low in the sky, and at the forefront of it all was the mayor, irritatedly attempting - and failing - to shoo people away from the property.

"What're y'all doin'? This ain't a circus, it's just an estate sale. Ain't y'all ever seen someone buyin' a buildin' before?!"

His efforts amounted to little against the nosy onlookers, however, with the group dispersing only to reform a short time later - several times over. What he was shooing them from was oddly uncertain; it wasn't until quite late in the evening that one of the so-called strangers arrived to speak with the mayor, and then they were certainly suspicious to the already rather wary crowd. The pony came from inside the house - perhaps a very long inspection? - and was covered in a thick robe, obscuring most of their features. They spoke briefly to the mayor, though for any late comers or stragglers in the group, they did offer a brief smile - with a snout being just about all that was visible.

The next day...

The town was abuzz with curious, uncertain chatter about the strangers that so few saw the day before. For someones with the wealth to buy such a useless piece of land, they certainly weren't very friendly or chatty, were they? Or so the rumors went - because how could they be if they'd not shown up to accept their housewarming gifts or greet their new neighbors?! Still, others did relent that they might be just a bit shy, though the mood still was, at best, lukewarm.

The mayor was seen to have resumed his position in his office, visible mid-morning as he left for an early lunch and, as was soon made clear, to reassure the townsfolk there was really nothing to worry about! Obviously, he was in full politician mode, wandering from business to business to put on a cheerful face and attempt to combat the already rampant rumour mill.

As to the strangers, despite the whispers of the townsfolk, one of the new residents - if there were even multiples at all, but who would buy such a large place on their lonesome? - was indeed seen just after the sleepy town's awakening, visiting a general store with shiny, new bits to buy quite the assortment of food, then shortly after for a fresh batch of construction tools from the local hardware store.

Your Pony: Dusty Secrets
Their Mood: Curious, wanting to know more.
Their Actions: Dusty made many excuses as to why he was at the General Store today. A dozen to his Mother that the Shop needed a few cleaning supplies. Another dozen to his Father just so that he had the excuse to go to the Hardware Store as well. He would spend a few hours at the General Store then go to the Hardware Store. Making sure to keep a low profile but being polite to all his neighbors as well. He was...just so curious.
