Aurora gave a soft laugh. "I certainly feel ready for this. I expect you and- was it Melancholia she said her name was?- are too. Why would we have been chosen otherwise?" She smiled. She kept up an eir of ease. Although inside she felt nerous, she knew it was no use making light of it.

The unicorn looked over to the other mare and smiled. She made a mental note to introduce herself to her properly when she and Shadow had finished speaking.
42
Aurora raised an eyebrow at the odd gesture, but thought not much more of it. His question, however, caused her mouth to twitch into a faint smirk. The mare shrugged, softly.

"Well, I suppose we'll find that out when the time comes," she said, calmly. She bowed her head, before introducing herself formally. She supposed if they were to be working together for- well, who knew how long- they might as well start off on good terms.

"Aroura, at your service," she lifted her head. "And you are?"
43
Aurora 's eyes had fallen to Melancholy as she spoke, and she gave a small nod in return to the other mare's timid wave. Her eyes fell back towards the Princess as she spoke. Once she was done, she wondered if they were free to move from where they were standing. Her legs were starting to ache from being locked into place for so long.

She looked over to Melancholy again and offered a reassuring smile
44
Only when Celestia had stopped speaking did Aurora rise from the bow she had been holding up. She kept her eyes trained ahead, blocking out the hushed whispers of Celestia's court. A million questions came to mind, but she didn't know how many were appropriate to ask in the prescence of the court. Aurora doubted even Celestia herself knew what the reaction be if they thought Aurora was at all mistrustful of their Princess. She resisted the urge to look around her at the other adventurers, wondering who would speak first. Eventually, the unicorn decided to speak up herself.

"I have no quetions, your majesty," she said, calmly. It wasn't an entire lie. There were a few things she wondered, but she would not ask. She didn't doubt that she and the rest of the team would find out these answers during their mission anyway.

//I don't know if things like 'Why the mane 6 can't be there' or 'How long ago the uprising started' have already been told to them in advance (such as in their summons or in some other briefing) so I'll just go with the most neutral path I can here

Juniper looked over the challenge, thinking it over.  She 'hmmed' softly, and approaches the first platform. She pushed it, and it moved. She pulled it back towards her. She stood up again, and turned to the others. "Any ideas? Because I might have one..." She said. Although her tone was shy, there was a determined glint in her eye.
46
Juniper's eyes fluttered open, and she found herself blinking in defense to the harsh light temporarily blinding her. The earth pony sat up, adjusting to the lighting of the room. She frowned.
The room was entirely unfamiliar to her. She looked around, seeing only one door, on the other side of the room. She knew she certainly hadn't brought herself here. The last thing she remembered, she was washing up at home. Now she was here... wherever 'here' was.

She looked to the door, and decided answers must be through there. The small pony took a deep breath, mustering all the courage she could, before trotting through the doorway and up the stairs.

She came out by 3 creatures, none of which were ponies. Before her was a wolf, a small, almost feline creature, and a reptilian winged creature, which stood taller than the other two creatures and herself.
Juniper had not expected to see anyone else, so upon stumbling upon the trio, she let out a squeak of surprise, and nearly stumbled back. Her back hoof clattered against the top step again, and she glanced back to make sure she would not fall.

//Welp, if you're still accepting people in, I'll join up, now that my schedule is starting to get more organised.

Spoiler: show
Name: Juniper
Gender: Female
Species/Race: Earth pony
Description/Personality/Backstory: Timid and cautious, but kind and loving. She's smart, and always thinks things through. Juniper is gentle, caring, and patient, but work her into a rage at your own risk. She was adopted into an all unicorn family as a child, and was absolutely fascinated by their magic and how it worked. She wanted to be able to wield magic too, but as an earth pony she was unable. Instead, she opted for what she found she be the next best thing: Alchemy and potion brewing. She earned her cutie mark when she created her own potion which, when perfected, proved to be excellent at healing wounds. She was extremely adept at the skill, and has worked most of her life to develop her skills further. Her potions most commonly include natural herbs and plants.
Picture/Visual Description: [spoiler]
Juniper is a little shorter and stouter than your average mare. She has a long mane and tail which are a pinky-peachy colour. Her coat is a tannish colour. When working, she ties her mane into a messy bun to keep it out of her eyes, which are a brilliant orange-red. Her cutie mark is the alchemy symbol for 'Earth', in a lilac colour.[/spoiler]

//Edit: (rough) image of Juniper now included!

//Very sorry, I've had exams all week and started a new job and it's all been a bit crazy and I've had very little free time. However my exams are over (had my last one this morning!) and I have tomorrow off of work, and once I get into the swing of it in the holidays I'll be around more often hopefully//

Hat Trick entered the pool room, and slipped straight into the water with no hesitation. She gave a contented sigh, feeling all the tense...ness slip away. She waded a little further into the pool, deciding for now she would just sit there, maybe swim some laps in a bit. For now though, the unicorn would let herself forget about her work and her social life, and just have a moment of calm.

"The castle isn't much further. We'll be there soon." Specs said, watching ahead of them as they trailed through the city.

The mare had considered simply teleporting the group there, but decided to save her magic. Who knew what was out there? She kept walking at a steady pace. She was determined to find someone, anyone at the castle.

//I'm sorry I've been so quiet oh gosh! It's exams week so I've been busy revising and doing my exams and sleeping when I can//

Now in a group, Specs decided to extend the light from her horn, making it easier for all of them to see.
"You all know the way?" she checked, looking amongst the group. "It's not too far, but we need to get there as soon as possible." she said. She spoke steadily, not letting the fear or concern she felt creep into her voice.
51
Specs frowned. "Someone else?" She asked. But the dig was already gone again.  She shook her head and sighed, looking around her. She strained her hearing,  but could not hear anything.
52
//when it comes to staff do we have to wait for specific characters or can we drop them in and out for the sake of moving things along?

Hat Trick glanced back to the hoofocure chair, but decided she could return later. She thought back to the leaflet she'd skimmed through, and decided to have a look for that pool she had read about. She went on our way, following the signs on the walls to where it was.
53
"Th-that's okay!" Hattie called after the mare. She shook her head, confused, but slightly amused. However her attention was quickly turned elsewhere by the wolf's unexpected landing. She nearly jumped, turning her head quickly. She watched for a second as the wolf lay on its back, waggling its paws in the air.

Hat Trick gave a small, amused smile, getting up from the hooficure chair. She stepped a little closer, and cautiously lifted the wolf with her magic, setting him the right way up again. With the wolf back on his paws, Hattie smiled.
"You okay, buddy?" she asked, softly. She was slightly amused, but thought it might be rude to laugh, even if she wasn't entirely sure if the wolf would understand.
54
Specs bit her lip, ears drooping.

"I... I don't know. I don't think they'd do this on purpose, but.... they might have some idea of what has caused this. Or maybe some books in the castle library have something about this.... it could have happened before." Specs suggested.

Her ears perked up again, and she stomped her hoof on the ground, standing straight.

"We should at least try. If there's no one there, we'll find another way, but we can't rule it out. Not yet." she said.

"Uh, y-you're welcome!"  Rosemonde replied, still a bit tense.  She definitely needed to relax a little.  While waiting for her hooficure, she thought about where her brother might've gone.  He had a tenancy to wander around looking for mom or dad when he got lost, so he could be anywhere...

And then it hit her.

Looking over at the blue-maned mare, she thought about how she herself had mistaken her for her mother just moments earlier.  Perhaps her brother had done the same!  Turning to the mare with a smile, she said:

"Um, excuse me, but have you seen a little colt running around town today?  He's got light blue fur, big, round yellow eyes, and tinted hooves?"  her brother was relatively hard to miss, so if the mare had seen him, she would probably understand what Rose was talking about.


Hat Trick turned to the pony when she spoke to her. She frowned, and went back. She 'hmmed' softly.

"I think I did on my way here, he was wandering about not too far away." Hattie frowned, recalling the moment. "Why, is he your brother, or your son, or something?" she asked. The mare certainly didn't look old enough to have a son of her own, but it didn't hurt to make sure. The unicorn tried to recall a landmark or shop or something to specify the area.

"I think it was around the bakery, not too far. He... paused for some reason when I passed by, I didn't think much of it."
56
"Uh... wow, you sure are... organised." Specs frowned. "How did you get all this together so fast?" she frowned, shaking her head. She sighed, and looked up.

"I think we should start at the castle. If there is anyone who knows what's happening, it's going to be the Princesses, and there's a chance they're still here." Specs said. She tried not to think about what would happen if Luna and Celestia weren't in the castle.

//The temptation to bring in Hattie's bunny friend was strong, but... well, she's supposed to be relaxing at the spa, not stressing out over small rabbits. Maybe later though....

Hat Trick picked up one of the leaflets on the small table beside her, deciding to look at what else the spa offered while she waited. She didn't see much point in coming to the spa, doing one thing, and leaving.
She scanned through, wondering where she'd go after her hooficure. The pool seemed interesting, as did the sauna. She set the leaflet down again, deciding she'd choose later. She leaned back, ad sighed. The chair was comfy... she didn't know what she had expected a spa chair to be like, but it was very comfy. She was sure she could sleep in it, if she were tired enough.
58
"Well there's.... certainly been a lot else to be surprised by, as well as you." Specs adressed the dog. She sighed and shook her head. "Sorry, I don't usually, uh... talk to... chiuauas." she swallowed, blinking a few times. She looked up again, between the others, then back to Climber.

"Do you... plan on joining us? Honestly, with no idea of what's going on, we could use all the help we could get."

Rosemonde snapped out of her trance, blinking a bit as she looked down at her hooves.  "Ah!  S-sorry!  I-I was just... Uh..." she paused for a moment, thinking that telling the pony she looked like her mom would be a bad idea.  "I just uh, you looked like someone I know.  S-sorry," she said, smiling sheepishly.  Her smile was very similar to that of her mother's, but you wouldn't know it if you had never met the mare in question.

Rosemonde quickly turned her head in the direction of a new voice, startled slightly.  "H-hi!  Uh, s-sorry about that!" she stammered, unsure what she was apologizing for.  She was really making a fool of herself right now.  She hoped nopony would notice how ignorant she was today...


"Oh, that's okay." Hat Trick smiled. Her eyes followed the other pony's line of sight when she heard the voice. When she realied the other was asking about work, she decided to stop listening. She didn't work here, she couldn't give any useful advice or offer any help. She wondered if the pony next to her knew anything about it. She didn't look like  a staff member, but maybe she'd worked here before, or had worked in a similar place.
She didn't have much time to think about it, however, as she finally noticed the elephant- or wolf, rather- in the room.

Hat Trick wondered exactly how a wolf had gotten into the spa, let alone how he was getting a massage. He looked happy though, and if he hadn't hurt anyone yet, she doubted he would. Hattie smiled with amusement when she wondered to herself if she'd see a rabbit on it's way to the sauna next. The mental image was amusing, although as a wolf had gotten in, it was entirely possible.

She quickly checked she had not brought her own rabbit with her accidentally- just in case.

((Lol Space, the physical description of your OC sounds almost like Sparkle but with short hair and no highlights (and the wrong color fur) XD))

Rosemonde watched as another pony walked in and sat down at one of the hooficure stations.  However, once she actually got a good look at the pony, she had to do a double take to make sure her eyes were working correctly.  Blinking in surprise, she looked over again.  Was that...?  No, it couldn't be.  It was probably just a pony that looked like her mom.  Unless she time traveled too... N-no, probably not.  Still, this was rather shocking, and the young mare couldn't help but stare on in surprise [though she was unaware she was doing so.]

((...which is perfect for the character i'm using XDDD))


//haha! A pleasant coincidence!

Hat Trick's smile faltered slightly, her expression becoming more confused and... concerned. Had she startled the pony? She hadn't meant to bother her.

"Uh... are you... okay? Sorry if I startled you I just-" she paused. What was she doing? She couldn't think of an explanation, really. "Just... being friendly I s'pose." She trailed off. She cleared her throat and looked up again to the pony next to her.
She shifted a little, unsure if the other pony would reply. Was it even her she was looking at? She looked to be very deep in thought.
