Flicker watched as Twilight made her speech, finishing eating the cake he had bought from sugar cube corner, one last luxury before leaping in the unknown. He remembered back when he was poor as dirt, by the sisters it felt good to have bits. Well, maybe he risked substantially more his life now than before for said bits, but hey, what's life use if not living it? A lot of ponies seemed to either steer clear of him or constantly trying not to stare at his scars. Oh well, Flicker didn't care 'Always look forward, never backward for life is too short for it' was his motto and he intended to continue to live by it.

He had had the luck to have received a briefing about the team he'd be in, something something Clipper. Now that he remembered it as he started walking toward the library he used his magic to get said briefing out and read it quickly, mainly going through the specialties of each member. Obviously he was magic analysis and maybe fire support *He couldn't help by snigger at this* on the side. Commander griffon from the dusk guard, botanist... Bah, he'd see soon enough. The papers went back to his saddle pack and he opened the library door with magic, internally hopping he wouldn't have to deal with too many 'Wannabes'. Twilight's initiative might have brought many minds and willing adventurers, but as someone who had to eat meat while being weeks of walk from any civilization, Flicker knew this lifestyle was difficult to the extreme and not made for everyone. 

"Helloooooo everyone!" Flicker opened the door quickly and entered bombastically but quickly looked around, noticing there wasn't anyone in yet but himself and a griffon. "Well, so much for the entrance then, why hello there, you must be the commander, uh, what was on the briefing again..." He quickly took the papers back out again and looked at it before continuing. "Ah yes, Lieutenant Commander Rosewing Red, Royal Guard and second-in-command of Dusk Wing, many honors, etc, etc... Dawww, and me who had hopped for being paired with General Commander Rainbow Dash, hmm, that sweet sweet blue flank. Oh a stallion can dream." Flicker had a 'Bright' (Or as much it was possible to be with his hideous burns) smile and gave a wink at Rosewing. "But still, I don't mind 'Watching your back' either... Now, onto business, an honor my mare to make your acquaintance, I am 'Professor' Flickering Light, although I don't like being refereed to by my title, makes me sound like a Canterlot university A-hole so just call me Flicker or Burninator, although I hope I won't have to Burninate anything in this travel, So yeah, I'm the magical specialist although you probably already know that since you had a briefing and I am apparently a 'Distinctive individual', maybe because of the personality or the huge fracking scars that makes me look like a freak show and now I must breeeeaaaath!" 

Words words words, Flicker most certainly had an exuberant personality, which had strangely enough developed after he fire ball'ed himself in the face. Couldn't let his appearance define him he thought, so he compensated with an overly open personality. He moved forward a bit to let someone coming up behind him in and smiled to the newcomer, from his good profile. "Hey, nice cutie mark." He turned to completely face the newcomer, probably removing any charm he might have had if any there even was. This was also the second thing which was good with being a reputed expert, when you're a nobody acting like Flicker did, you come of either as creepy or crazy, when you're someone, you're just 'Eccentric'.
