Not part of the equation

"So this is ponyville, smaller than I thought it would be." Limbo stated as the town came into his sight. "Looks like they're preparing for a party. I already hate this place." Limbo said with nothing but dread

"I take it you're not a fan of parties then?" said Celestia with a curious glance to the stranger beside her.

Limbo looked up and said "Its not so much the party itself and more of the fact other people are going to be there. Incase you can't tell I have a severe case of 'things that are not me are bothersome and a waste of time' it's actually a very life threatening disease as anyone spastic enough to talk to me when i'm in a bad mood or just in general could get seriously hurt."

"You seem to be against talking to anypony, why is that?" Celestia said concerned for everypony incase Limbo was serious.

"It's mainly because most people can't hold an intellectual conversation with me and their idiocy hurts to listen to." Limbo said remembering every time he spoke with Oberon. "Anyway you have questions for me and since we have arrived I say we start before I get bored and leave, sound fun, alright cool." Limbo said addressing Celestia.

"Alright everypony, go on ahead. I want to speak with Limbo in private for a bit." Celestia says, looking back at everyone and nodding for them to go forward. Which they do, although Luna was a little hesitant at first.

"Alright, we're alone. Ask what you want. I'll give you the best answer possible." Limbo says, staring at Celestia with a dull nod.

"You seem awfully complying, not that I'm ungrateful." The solar goddess says with an appreciative smile.

"We both know i'm far older than I look. I try to make it a mission to ally myself with beings equal age or older. The best way to do that is to be trusting." Limbo says with a smile. His smile was small and near non-existent, but it was there."

"I'm curious as to how you managed to achieve immortality?" Celestia ask, asks with a small hint of suspicion. Necromancy my be a lost art, but some ponies still manage to practice it somehow.

"I should start at the beginning then. I started with a war against beings known as Sentients. They were creatures capable of adapting to any type of damage thrown at them. So at some point when it was getting really bad the Orokin, the guys I worked for, sent people away on spaceships to escape. Long story short, the Zariman, the ship I and many others were on, entered the void, drove the adults insane, forced the children to fend for themselves and gave the children superpowers and immortality. That not exactly what happened, but it's close enough." Limbo says, looking at Celestia with a leveled stare. After all, no matter what he says, you don't go through stuff like that without earning a few scars. Celestia seems to feel bad though

"I guess that mean you were a child when that happened?" at that Limbo scoffed staring at her with a small glare.

"Yeah, I was. Whats worse is thst when we finally get back we are treated like lab rats. Well aside from one lady, but its to hard to remember her name. After their disgusting experiments they settle on stuffing us in suits that regulate the void, teach us how to fight and then ship us off to fight the Sentients." Celestia looks quite disturbed at this new revelation. Though even more so when Limbo started to laugh.

"Hahaha, we won the war and we come back we are all praised as heros, as if the years leading up to the war meant nothing. Haha, so when they're all drunk off victory we killed them all." no Celestia face looks torn between being sympathetic and horrified.

"I- I see, thank you for being honest." Like the conversation never happened Limbo was back to smiling

"meh, think nothing of it. Anything alse you want to ask or..?" Limbo draws off the sentence to give Celestia time to think.

"If what I'm getting from your last question is correct, you don't have a place to live here, do you." Now that got Limbo thinking, he wasn't sure he wanted to retry his experiment in case it did kill him this time. So he really was stuck there untill he finds another way out. At the same time this place is free of Grineer, Corpus and infestation. If he could go back wiuld he really want to.

"Yeah, you're right. Suppose you aren't hiring any staff for research and development." Limbo asks in a joking manner. "Seriously though, give me a year or two and I can get you ponies moving through the stars." that part was a little less joking.

"I appreciate the offer, but I don't think my little ponies would be ready for such a change so soon." Celestia says, with that eternal smile of kindness.

"Such a shame. I'll just have to look somewhere else." Limbo says, even though his situation is currently a problem he still doesn't mind. Science doesn't need a home or food or any luxury. So why should he, one if the greatest minds in the solar system, rivaled by only six other people. The Lotus, Nova, Nekros, Vauban, Tyl Regor and Alad V. Mabye Nidus, but thats a bet he's not willing to take.

"I have an idea. Why don't you try to enjoy the party for a while, I'll get everything ready." Limbo has no idea whats going to happen and that bothers him.

Limbo walks off toward the sidelines of the party and just sits there observing everything. That is until he's approach by young gir- filly. He looks at her for a moment, taking in her appearance l.

She has a grayish white and purple mane, that appears to have been well looked after with shinning Emerald eyes, that just scream innocent and snow white fur. She doesn't have a mark though. Deciding he might as well play his role of gentleman warframe he looked down at her and smiled.

"Do you need anything, my dear?" Limbo says internally he's a little thankful for the distraction, not that he'll tell anyone.

"You seemed lonely." That drew a chuckle from Limbo, how he wish he could have been like her as a child, naive and helpful. Nowadays, he is a Jackass and helpful

"I guess I am or... Was. Your here now." Of course Limbo is just humouring the girl, assuming she doesn't have many friends herself if she speaks to the first lonely across.

"No, I mean... It's hard to put into words." Now she really has Limbo attention.

"Ohh, take your time, not like I'm waiting for anyone ." Limbo encourages, with a smile.

"It's your eyes." Limbos' smile fell immediately, but let her continue, nevertheless. "It's a similar look to princess Luna and since she has been alone for a thousand years, I figured thst you might be the same." Limbo was too busy marveling that a child came up with that by herself too give a response for a few seconds.

"Sorry to go off topic, but do like science?" Limbo asks with a small and slightly hopeful smile.

"I thinks it's interesting, but it gets pretty boring when Miss Cherilee teaches it since it isn't her best subject." she says with a contemplative look.

"Would you like to help me with certain projects, when I do them. Most of them will be a little bit strange, but over all enjoyable." Limbo asks with an evem bigger smile and bit of a spark in his eye.

"What do I get?" there she goes again displaying intelligence, well common sense, but application of knowlege is still sciency.

"I'll apply for a job at your school. How does thst sound. Even if it does get boring again you'll at least have a week or two of something interesting happening." The girl looks like she's thinking it over.

"Alright then." Was her final decision and Limbo started smiling a bit more.

"Wunderbar." As Limbo says that he looks over to see Celestia with Twilight and a lizard beside them holding parchment and quil.

Celestia looks over to Limbo for and signals for him. He looks back at the girl before him and says his goodby before walking over to were Celestia is standing.

"I assume you've sorted out your plan." As he finishes that sentence, Twilight seems to either receive a fever or blushes. Much to his confusion.

"Indeed I have. I'm about to announce it to everyone." The herald of the sun says with a strangely Trollish smile.

I'm not going to like this. Limbo thinks, remembering everytime Volt made a smile like that, bad jokes usually follow.

"Take a note Spike." The Alicorn says before continuing. "From this day forward the ponies Twilight Sparkle and Limbo are going to be studying the magic of friendship in this very town, in the Golden Oaks library." and like that both ponies looking at Celestia. One happy to learn about friendship and the other just... Staring.

If she becomes anything like Volt, I will make soup out of her brain matter after I cave her skull in with a rusty spoon.
