//------------------------------// // Chapter 2: When the static sets in // Story: A Radio Demon in Equestria // by Roost2100 //------------------------------// After some time, it was not long before almost everypony was talking about a new pony that looked like he was from Canterlott and moved to Ponyvile and made his home rise from the ground like he was a powerful alicorn, the building looked like it belonged in Manhattan since when you see homes next to a little tower that has a room poking out of its left alongside the color of it, everypony was curious to see how things would go with their new guest, only time will tell if they will turn out to be a good egg. As Alastor was eating some jambalaya he looked around for some salt he noticed his supplies were running a bit low he knew he is going to have to go out soon to stock back up, but he forgot one thing... "Money..." he had to find a way to make some money tho he did not know what these ponies used as currency so he couldn't magic up some money since he didn't even know what they used for it, he soon came up with a plan, he knows that this world does not have any modern technology shit like hell or earth does one thing he likes about Equestria, so he going to try and get radios popular in Equestria like how Radios were back in the 1930s on Earth. He gets up uses his magic to summon the radio puts it in his pocket and heads out as he walks he sees many things he walks by a playground seeing fillies and colts playing on it and then chuckles as he sees one of the kids fall and hurt themselves he chuckles as he nears a random dinner, he thought it was a good place to put it, he then goes in and nears the cash register, he knew that Equestria compares to Hell and Earth is child's play so no one would suspect anything bad to happen if he put it there he then asks the cashier. "Excuse me my dear but may I put my little contraption here?" The cashier looks at him and shrugs "Sure why not, as long as you are okay leaving it here fine by me" Alastor then sets the little radio next to the cash register as he does he says "Thank you my dear oh and before I forget, make sure it stays right there" The mare behind the counter nods "Fantastic thank you, my dear, I bid you a good day" Alastor says as he then walks out of the dinner. On his way back to his home he notices something, many of the ponies here use these golden and sometimes even silver coins when they buy or use something that you need to pay to use or get, he does not know what they are called but he now he knows that they use that as money "Mmmh good to know," he says under his breath, he makes it back to his home and as he enters the lights were turned off and he wonders why "mmh odd I don't remember the lights being off when I was here?" he says in the darkness as he looks for the light switch his eyes glowing in the dark as he walks around, as he does the lights turn on and he sees a whole group of ponies in his home around him as soon as the lights turn on they all yell out "SURPRISE!!!" as he tries to process this familiar pink mare zooms up to him. "Surprise! its me Pinkie Pie, and I threw thispartyjustforyou,Wereyousurprisedwereyou huh huh huh" Alastor pushes her away from him a little bit before clearing his throat "Umm Yes surprise is one way to put it, my dear may I ask why did you throw me this party." Pinkie Hops around him as she talks "Well you see, as we were talking at Sugarcube corner remember and it took me a little bit to notice that you were new until I asked you then you said yes then I knew I had to throw this Welcome to Ponyvile Party since you see when I first saw you I notice you had no friends and it made me sad to see that you had none here right now so I thought to invite everypony here so you could get a chance to make some friends even my friends are here, here let me introduce you to them" the pink maned mare did not let Alastor get a single word in as she spoke. Before grabbing him and dragging him to her friends. Before he knew she was introducing her to her friends "Alastor this is Twilight, this is Rainbow Dash, this is Applejack, this is Rarity this is Fluttershy, and girls this is Alastor" The 5 mares introduce themselves to him "Oh Hello Alastor" Twilight said "Hey dude" said Rainbow Dash "Howdey Alastor Nice to meetcha" said Applejack "Hello Darling, its a pleasure to be meeting you" said Rarity " Oh Hello" said Fluttershy, Alastor then was able to speak "its a pleasure to meet you five really is but my dear I am flattered for the party but I must ask why now and why did you come in my home without my permission. It is not very polite to do such a thing" he says as faint static can be heard in the background Pinkie Pie blinks then laughs "Don't worry Al it's fine we're friends aren't we?" Alastor knew he would have to play the nice guy for now but he sighed and kept going threw with his plan "Y-yes I suppose... Still don't do that again" Pinkie winked at him "Anyway what are we doing just standing around Let's Party!!!" For the rest of the day, it was a party in Alastor's home and he had to keep his cool to not be suspicious, he knew when he got the chance he would be able to make some money for his everyday needs, he was still learning the ropes on how to act normal in Equestria tho he knew this was only a temporary grace period since he still needs to learn more about the world before doing anything in it, he does not want to be caught as he makes his own entertainment but for now this is all he can do is play the waiting game only time tells to see how things go Ponyville.
