Lamplight can only shake her head as Hex continues to antagonize PLO, amazed that he could have so little self control. Who thinks it's a good idea to insult somepony who just blew up three bowling lanes out of frustration? She gets up to go try to break them up when she spots the manager heading this way. She sighs and turns to head back to where her patrons were still playing. She would rather not sit through what is undoubtedly going to be a shouting match. PLO does not seem like the type to just accept that he did something wrong and take responsibility. Sure enough, the manager starts yelling behind her. She almost makes it back to her former group when it becomes apparent things are not going well. She turns around as the sky outside darkens and sees PLO's mane glowing brightly, although he doesn't seem to be doing much yelling himself. She barely has time to duck for cover as the massive bolt of lightning blows a hole through the roof and blasts most of the roof and upper walls clear off the bowling alley. Thankfully, the damage seems to be limited to the building itself, and as she gets back to her hooves it seems like nopony is seriously injured. Her patron's game had been at the far end, and they'd avoided even being hurt at all. Without them to worry about, Lamplight turns and makes her way out of the ruins of the bowling alley, coming to a stop a short distance from where PLO is lying on the ground feeling sorry for himself. Well he should be sorry. How somepony with such a temper could manage to get this far in life without learning to control his magic was beyond her. He's just lucky nopony had actually really gotten hurt, destroying an entire place of business over a tantrum is bad enough as it is. Lamplight sighs, shaking her head and turning to return to her own group. Let somepony else deal with him, yelling would probably just make him blow up the house across the street anyway.

Lamplight sits back to watch as the two stallions begin playing, with thankfully no further arguing. While he had grasped the rules fairly quickly, it still took a few turns to PLO to get the hang of it, and soon the scores were just about tied up. Bowling wasn't the most exciting game in the world, but Lamplight was still enjoying herself now that the two had started getting along better, at least for now. She can't help but chuckle as it becomes apparent that PLO is unable to hit the center pin, no matter what he does the ball somehow avoiding that one pin every single time. He does seem to be getting rather annoyed at it though, which might be understandable if he wasn't taking it so seriously. She stands up as he approaches for his next turn with a dangerous look in his eye and his mane crackling with electricity, which she has come to understand means he was upset. Before she can do anything to stop him he's already rolled the ball, now charged with energy, down the lane, which explodes in spectacular fashion and blows over all the pins in several nearby lanes... but somehow missing the one he'd been aiming at. Lamplight puts a hoof to her head as every eye in the bowling alley is turned their way. Talk about taking things too seriously... The owner, not to mention the nearby players who's games had been interrupted, were not going to be happy about this...

Lamplight just shakes her head and glances over at the other patrons who's attention had been drawn by Hex's "explanation" of bowling. As if this game needed to be any more ridiculous. Of course, Lamplight doesn't know much about the origins of the sport herself; she somehow doubts it involved fortune tellers though. Still, she has to give him some points for coming up with all of that on the spot. PLO, of course, appears to believe every word of it. He even provides his own interpretation of what he thinks the silly history hex gave means. Ridiculous as it is, it will at least make a pretty good story for later, one the regulars would surely find amusing. Lamplight suppresses a giggle, the two stallion's unfriendly attitudes forgiven at least for now. Despite the ridiculous nature of Hex's tale, it seems PLO has managed to pick up on the proper rules of the game, and they were finally about ready to start a real game. She smiles at PLO and shoots a glance over at Hex. "That's more or less it." She can always tell him the truth later, for now, pointing it out will probably just result in the two butting heads again. "So, who's going first?" She asks, "I'll just sit out and keep score for now." Hopefully they don't fight over who gets to go first. Maybe she should have suggested a coin flip...

Lamplight eyes the last remaining pin regretfully and steps back from the lane. She shouldn't have expected to knock down the one way on the other side, of course, but it still feels somehow inadequate. She walks past Hex as the pins are reset, and shakes her head at his snippy attitude. Not that PLO is behaving much better himself with his little tirade earlier. She looks back down the bowling alley at where her regulars are in the middle of their own game, and wonders if she shouldn't just go back and join them again. No, she's being a bit unfair she tells herself as she watches PLO messing around with the scoreboard. Stamping his name on it with a signet ring and wax? Lamplight can't help but roll her eyes at that, it's just a casual game after all. They're not even really playing right, taking turns rather than getting two balls each. She waits for him to finish taking his turn, knocking down the other half of the pins that Hex missed. "You know," Lamplight starts, "We haven't really taught him how to play properly. Why don't we start over?"

Lamplight can definitely see why the green pony would be irritated by the newcomer. His personality certainly seems... interesting. She steps a little bit closer as PLO takes offence at the other pony's remark, his mane sparking ominously. She doesn't really believe he'd try to hurt anypony, and he calms down soon enough and walks over to grab one of the bowling balls and proceeds to hurl it down the lane and smash several of the pins down. Lamplight has to suppress a giggle. "You didn't do too bad with the pins, but uh..." She walks over and takes a ball herself, walking past PLO to the lane. "You're supposed to roll it, it doesn't count if you just throw it at them." She rolls the ball down at the pins, knocking down the remaining three on the left side.

Lamplight can't help but chuckle at the black pony's over-the-top introduction and cheesy greeting. "Nice to meet you too, I'm Lamplight." She withdraws her hoof and gives a little bit of a bow herself. She glances over at the other stallion, who seems to be a bit overwhelmed at the moment. She's not surprised, the newcomer seems to be a real handful. She steps over to the electrically charged pony as he loses his train of though, apparently distracted by a pony nearby taking a shot. "Bowling is pretty popular, yeah. And the pins are for, well, that." She motions to the knocked down pins in the other alley.

Lamplight stares mournfully at the scoreboard. She'd been invited by a couple of Guiding Light's regulars on their weekly bowling trip, and she had so far performed very poorly. It wasn't her fault she'd only bowled a few times before, while they all had years of practice. At least Soybean had declined the invite, last time they'd done this he'd shown up not only herself, but everypony else in the group by playing a perfect game. She sighs theatrically, but isn't really that upset. Sure, she had ended up dead last every game so far, but it has still been a fun trip. She's probably going to sit this next one out though. She says as much, and earns some grumbles and assorted good-natured teasing. Soon, another game is in full swing, and she's just starting to get into watching when the doors to the bowling alley are thrown open dramatically. Being fairly close to the door, it's not hard for her to hear the black unicorn who had just come through loudly questioning a green stallion, apparently about the local architecture. Normally such an event would rate as a little weird, but fairly innocuous. Normally the pony speaking doesn't have a mane sparking with barely contained electricity. Lamplight is immediately overcome with curiosity, and heads off after the strange pair to the far end of the bowling alley. "Hi there," She greets with a grin, "I think I'd have heard of a pony with a head full of electricity by now, you new in town?"

Name: Lamplight


Race: Unicorn
Gender: Female
Age: 46
Talent: Lantern Conjuring

Coat Color: Orange
Eye Color: Burnt Orange
Mane & Tail: Long and well-kept, burnt orange with a single cream colored streak
Cutie Mark: Black, rectangular lantern with a swirling, sourceless flame
Build: Average height, slightly pudgy

Hobbies: Storytelling, cooking
Occupation: Owner of a tavern in Ponyville, named The Guiding Light
Residence: Lives in the top floor of the Guiding Light, in Ponyville

Personality: Lamplight is friendly and social. She enjoys both hearing and sharing stories of all kinds, but especially those that have a bit of truth to them. She can be quite adventurous, and is utterly fearless in the face of dangers.

Bio: Lamplight grew up in a small town north of Canterlot, the kind of place where everypony knows everypony, and the only excitement comes from the rare traveler passing through. She found many of these ponies from far off places fascinating, and especially loved to hear stories of things they'd done and places they'd seen. She left home young to take up travelling herself, and for many years made a "career" out of it, getting into all sorts of adventures all across Equestria and even beyond. With Ponyville being the site of many strange events in recent years, she was drawn to settle down there. Unfortunately a few years of staying in one place has left her a bit out of shape, though she still leaps at the chance for a new adventure.
