Well the main streets are, atleast. You trot softly though a dark alleyway. You were certain that these were the directions given to you by your friend. You wish you had waited till tomorrow and not been so hasty. You want to ask for directions, but all shops you pass a tightly locked up for the night, and it's far too late to knock on somebody's door. Instead you continue, a little nervous. Suddenly you see a light. A tiny little shop, squeezed in between a sofa store and a grocery store. Though the shops either side of it are dark and silent, this little shop's windows spill golden light from within, and the sign on the door proclaims them still open, even though it is almost one in the morning.
You are slightly afraid to enter, but far more afraid of staying out alone in the dark, so taking a cursery glance at the sign above, you push your way inside.
On entering you realise you are in a bookshop of some sort. Your hooves sink into a dark red plush carpet as you inhale, smelling a mixture of old books and the earthy, sweet scent of tea. At the far end of the store there is a small wooden counter, and a little gaggle of mismatched comfy chairs. A lanky grey stallion is curled up in one of these chairs, his head buried in a large book, but as the shop bell rings as you enter he looks up, his blue eyes welcoming "Oh Hello" he says, smiling a little "Won't you come sit awhile? I've just made tea".
This is the Twisted Key
My name is Fabled Prince and this is my home and shop. I run it with my sister Cryptic Catch though she is hardly ever home. These books aren't for sale by the way, but you are always welcome to sit down and browse through them. Most are fairlytales. Or adventure. I bought some. Some were given to me. But a lot of them I wrote myself. That's how I make money. I write.
My sister researches any leads we might get for new adventure stories, and I write them. She loves travelling. Me? Oh no, I am perfectly happy here. I have my books and my tea and plenty of ponies to talk to.
You never did say why you're here. Do you want to hear a fairytale? Do you have a picture to show me, or an idea to share?
Or are you here because you've seen something strange? (Something Else) isn't here right now, but I can send her a letter to research it right away. Or was it something else?
Fairytales
I know many ancient fairytales, and some new ones I've made up too. They can explain almost everything, from why sheep are woolly to why the snow falls. Would you like to hear one?

I want you to find a creature!
If you've seen a creature I can send my sister to investigate. She'll send a report back and I can tell you all about her experiences. You best come see me in pony for that though. I might need you to help her out, if you live in the area.
(This one is more complex. Basically you need to write a little letter from your character explaining what they want her to look into and whether or not they will help. These will only be open every now and then, and I will require collaboration so only do this if you are ok with PMing you about your OC)

A creature you say? Well what did you see?
