A loud neigh-like chuckle erupts out of the strange abomination's mouth, reacting to the white-coated newcomer and his outburst.
"Not to taddle-tail on your accuracy of where one roams, but a lion prefers to live in warmer places than somewhere cool. But I can forgive that, considering you were referring to how amazed you are with my ability, and that I can agree with you on..."
Warpcore then brings his brush-like tail towards his own face and starts stroking it - tidying it with the sense of pride.
"I can be amazing when everything comes together."

((Shadowlugia711: If you're talking to Warpcore, "he's" turned into a Breezie at this time.))
Finally slurping down the last of the contents in the glass, the fairy-pony just lies back on the bottom of it. Tapping her belly, it lets out a burp in satisfaction. Taking a look to the side, she notices a bit of ruckus with a number of new customers at the bar. Looking back at Pixel, he points out the newest group to enter.
"Looks like the opportunity's opened out for us then."
Greeted by the unicorn, Warpcore flaps out of the glass and sits on the seat. The body started to grow into a normal pony size as her gestured a stroke on her neck.
"Well, I came to to relax and because my throat seemed a little horsed."
Then the body from the shoulders down grew some yellow hair and paws, and a thin tail. A more feline figure is on display for the guests to witness, with the peculiar pony head on top of it.
"However, I'd be lion if I said that now. So, what brings you here?

Once relief settled, the male pony looked over the sheet on the table top and checked each point as well as the route. Act gave a nod and looked back at the one-time copyist.
"Yeah, that's everything. I still need to overlay this with the more accurate maps of the area, but that's the gist of things."
His eyes cast back onto the other mare who was still taking her time sipping the tea while all this was happening. Act returned to his side of the table and held the Caramel Latte near him, still warm.
"I think I best finish things up with Ms. Keeper, since I kept her waiting long enough on her time off."
He then takes the pen and pad and starts writing on an address on the top and bottom of it. Tearing it off the pad and then in half, he slips one piece to each companion. He looks back to Lollipop as to make sure he gains her focus.
"I'm currently staying at the "Crumb-Bum" B+B at that address. It's near the village center. If you need me or you have anything new to discuss, you can find me there in the morning or evening. It that fine?"

((Not to worry, RP can wait around for whenever. Good luck with everything - Get them sorted as a priority, we'll still be here. 
))
The quick scream broke the stallion out of his own world and he saw the mare ahead of him now fall prone to the floor. Shock and concern caught onto Act as he put the item down on the table near him and looked down towards her.
"Hey! Are you alright?!"
Act heard Lollipop apologize and he thought to himself Scared? Did I do something-. Then she bump her own head on the table whist trying to regain her footing. Seeing that, his concern forced him to leap down to her to check on her under all the furniture. A mixture of worry and shame of something he may have done to spark these events swirled inside. The shame of having a mare knocked to the floor from his actions tasted foul in his heart.
He got eye level to the hurt Lollipop and expressed his fear for her well-being.
"Woah! Are you hurt? I'm sorry! I never meant to scare you. Can you get up?"
With that, his hoof stretches out to the vulnerable pony to aid her in getting back up.

Listening to the answer to the lingered question, the insect-pony looked up to the ceiling and thought to herself.
Gaming, huh? Pixel must be a new word for the dots on the die or dice... Wait, what's a TV? Oh, pish-posh don't think it matters...
Turning over to slurp another mouth full of her drink, Warpcore swallows it in one gulp and looks back to Pixel to speak again.
"So apart from the hiding from the monsoon out there, drying your coat - Well, mines nice and wet again, geez. That was a smart move, WC - And getting no love from Brood Dude over there-" She points to the pony sitting on his own a lengths way from them. "-What brings you to this tap at the pond?"

"Pixel, eh..."
Warpcore puts a finger on his chin and looks up in thought. Suddenly, his huge frame shrinks rapidly - As they say, "blink and you miss it." What replaces the gorilla was tiny, and had a frail green body that was pony-like but with butterfly-shaped wings and extending antennas from its head. Floating mid-air with the same poise, the red maned critter reacted on Pixel's name.
"Ain't that like a Pixie... or maybe even a Breezie, perhaps?" The little pony-creature flicks it's hoof towards the now larger being while throwing the question out in a croaky voice. She continues after a brief pause, focusing her golden eyes at him. "I really don't understand where the name originates from - any ideas?"
Warpcore's attention then finally shifts towards herself again, realizing the new form. A quick look at the glass and a light bulb goes off in her head. She floats to the lip of the vessel and looks into the 3/4 full glass of drink inside with glee.
"You know... I can drink more volume with increased ratio in this size... Breezie-bomb!"
As the mini-mare jumps and hunches up into the typical pool-bomb position, the evident feather-like weight of the animal descends at a slow rate. When finally hitting the surface of the liquid, the anticlimactic antic finishes with Warpcore lying down, floating on the top and slurping a good mouthful of the contents.

A grunted chuckle escapes from the big creature, satisfied with the stunned expression on his acquaintance's face and posture. It relaxes back against the barside while trying to kick-start the brain inside the other pony.
"Aw, common - I understand this isn't you're usual sight, but you might hurt this big ol' brute's feelings if you just stare at him so... But best get used to it, because at times I can't even control what I might be next. Can make for interesting conversations and tales, I can tell you tha- Oh just look at you! Pick up that jaw of yours before someone trips over it."
With an arm waving upwards, he motions his companion to do what he says like as if Warpcore was trying to do it himself.
"Don't worry, I'm just having some nectar sooth my throat and making the place a bit lively - I mean for a place called 'The Sour Cider,' it looks like everyone's faces are contorted with grief or anger rather than laughter and bizarre joy. I prefer the latter."
He notices a beverage has been put to the side for himself, and takes a swig of the house special. The ape then leans on an arm, still seated, against the bar surface before asking his next question.
"So, does the 'one' also have a name, for shall I keep calling you 'Digger Jaw'?"

"My name..."
As the striped hoof rises to greet the stallion, it starts to bolster and spread out while dark hair sprouted and grey fingers grew. The body itself started to change as well with all features changing in a similar way. The coat and hat grew with this growing beast,as it now covers what was once horse-shaped, now turned Silverbacked.
The huge ape then gives a smile to the upcoming guest. A more macho voice is brought forward from the mass of hairy muscle.
"It's Warpcore. Nice to meet you."

The zebra swung her eyes to the door a the pizza pony and raised a hoof. She thens speaks in a low and seductive tone at the entrant.
"Hey, if you're giving that away, I don't mind sharing it with the boys."
The 2 golden iris float towards the other pony looking at her.
"I just thought that you'd like to... talk with me for a bit. Don't you?"
The striped mare puts on a playful pout to gain his full attention.

Hey, bucko...
The chicken calls into the direction of the dejected unicorn.
A quick shuffle is sounded on the stool as the voice stops.
Why don't you come over here and we can have a chat? I wont bite...
A female zebra in the same coat and hat sits on the stool where the chicken once was.

"Drip - drip - drop..."
The rain heaved and there wasn't a dry spot in the outside area.
"Drip - drip - drop..."
Loud clops challenge the roar of the wind in this monsoon.
"Can somepony please..."
The floor of the entrance way to a Sour Cider rumbles under heavy thuds. The doors swing open and close as something comes through.
"-tell this rain to STOP!!"
As the door hits the framework shut, the general assumption would be for everyone to look straight at the door. But some may not see anything there unless they looked lower than head height.
A little white chicken garbed in a detective-like hat and mini-long coat, all tan in colour, stands there dripping from what the weather threw at it. After a moment standing there, the foal waltz towards the bar and combined a flutter with a jump onto a nearby stool.
"Seriously, dawll - who brought Poseidon into the middle of the countryside... My everything is drenched."
Even if nopony would understand it, the creature would just say some things anyway. Wringing out it's feathers, it looked up to the staff member and thumped the wing at the side.
"Well, what are ya waiting around for, sonny? Hit me with the house special, pal."

"Oh, er - sure. One moment."
Following the blue-maned mare's request, he unpacked the ornament and notice the empty seat behind her. Swapping tables, he perched himself on the chair behind and held it above Lollipop's head for the sun to shine through. As before the map (now much closer to the other adventurer's daughter) is revealed to be copied.
His face was still beaming with joy from knowing his wish comes a little closer to being fulfilled. He hasn't even noticed how close he is to the mare - something that's rare in his mild-mannered lifestyle. But he continues to be oblivious never-the-less.

As the head flings back with a tuff of purple-lied brown mane, Act's face is lit up with an expression of hope and excitement. With his eyes set on Lollipop, his mouth becomes a gaping hole of shock except from the tips of each edge turning up in delight. 2 hooves shoot out and grab the perky mare's nearest limb in a gentle, yet firm hold.
Now that Act has become quite enthusiastic, it now reflects in the volume and pitch of his voice slightly.
"Th-That's- That's great! Wonderful! I mean, Thank you! That would be fantastic to get some pointers from a separate adventurer. I just wanted to offer you compensation for finding the money, but this is going beyond the call... This is an awful lot from somepony who I've just met and such! So, thank you again - you wonderful, wonderful mare!"
He then hears Book Keeper's demand of 5000bits+favour - a twitch of an ear spontaneously reacts to the news.
5000... That's... doable if I can pull off a couple of more jobs here-and-there.
His face turns to a grin that's like trying to work with its surroundings in an awkward space. He's thankful for the help in a specialist field, but guesses this is "Manehattan prices" being offered and wasn't expecting that. But still, he irons through his kinks and politely accepts the helpful offer.
"Sure thing! Bless you for your patience and I hope good news awaits us! Do you mind if I pay most of it now, and some more in a week's time?"
At that moment, the waiter has made his return to the table with drinks and the muffin selection tray. He sets them down near the edge of the table while the ruckus is going on, trying not to interfere with a little "Well, this seems nice," smirk.
The stony stallion looks at the gentlepony and made an additional request to him.
"Excuse me, may we borrow a pen and some paper to write on, please? It's a very important spur-of-the-moment event that has occurred of which we need to record something."
The employee simply nods and leaves a notepad and pen on the table. With a "Please, leave them on the table once you're done," he walks off back to the kitchen doors.
"Please, enjoy a little muffin-buffin on me, ladies... And here are your drinks!"
Like a pro engulfed in the moment, he professionally slides the drinks near the respective owners of each beverage with his mouth. He then sits there in the same position until the other 2 made their choice of muffin...

Still with the head gripped to the polished furniture, Act replies to Book's question.
"I should have enough to cover costs - Been saving up for a good while to get this chance. Name your price."

After holding out the item for a suitable amount of time for the 2 others to see, Act had pulled the object away from the sunlight. The scale shale returned to it's dim rocky form and the crude map vanished as it was returned to the paper and string still laid upon the table.
"You understand now?"
He starts to put the wrapping over the item and ties it up with his teeth. As the stallion had lowered his head to tie up the package, Act raised it back up to meet the gaze of the others - specifically Book Keeper. But it was a face contorted with a feel of determination and domination. As if his eyes has turned into polished steel and a fire burns behind the pupils, they project the eager and powerful spirit that lingers within.
With a cold and gritty voice, Act mouth begins to build his next dialogue.
"That is why I need to see accurate maps to cross-examine this one with them. That is why I need to know of any rumours of unusual weather patterns and creature's habitat and events within the area, so I can avoid any trouble between myself and them. That is why I need to know all the information I can get about this stone, to help me find this cave.
For that I need your help - To find the last gift my father, Far Out, had given to the family without being able to deliver it himself!"
His gaze slips from one to the other and returns, as if trying to recognize their attention to himself. As his eyes stop moving, his head faces down and is planted firmly on the table, with his 2 front hooves flat down beside it. It was a gesture similar to one pleading to another of superior class upon a ranking system. His voice still quiet and gritty, but with a more emotional glaze to it, he finishes off what he needed to say at that point.
"So, please - help me! Help me find what it was that he wanted us to have and see. I will repay any kindness for your services - fees or otherwise. I beg you."
The head doesn't raise after this act of submission and desperate desire. Act merely waits for the others' reply.

"Geh-hee!"
A high-pitched noise escaped out of Act's mouth as panic burst up. His eyes and head were scanning around to see who might of heard Lollipop's last comment and looked at what was now in Book Keeper's hooves. He put a hoof to his lips, role-playing as a librarian would to keep the noise down.
"Shush-shush. Sorry, but I want less people knowing about this as possible - Who knows if there are rivals trying to head to the same thing as I am..."
Calming down, he didn't notice anyone who could of heard except one pony by herself. Act dismissed it as a lucky break and continued the conversation with his peers.
"But you know, that's pretty awesome that there's something in common between us. Far Out did it privately and tried to document all he could. Most of his adventures were just to get somewhere or find something that other ponies or races knew or realized were there.
I was told that when my dad found this stone, he almost never got out of the area because of the dangers. Flame geysers, difficult crossings, the over-sized tyrants and other creatures. Water ran out quickly, but he foresaw the issue and filled already empty bottles with snow on the mountains to melt along the journey and boil it later. Shaded areas were a must to stay inside most of the time to conserve energy and sweat."
He paused for a moment and looked at the dull treasure.
"One day though, he got the scale shale and gave it to a smith in Manehattan to put it in the ring as a gift to my mother. The day after he gave her the item, Far Out went on an adventure again, of which no pony saw him ever again. She waited for a long time, but we continued living as much as we could until she was gone too."
A slightly pained mask was visible as Act remembered those bittersweet memories. But the mask was worn for only a moment until he looked at the 2 mares again with determination.
"But this is what was really left behind by my father..."
He took the ornament from the pony opposite himself without hesitation. The hoof raised the ringed rock to a window with a full beam shining from behind Book Keeper's head. The stone then changed in luster, as the rays penetrated it and passed through, leaving an emerald-like shimmer left behind. It's like it had transformed the dull rock into a beautiful gem.
"Look at the table, friends..."
As the sun forced it's light through the stone, it tinted part of the table bright green. However, there were gaps of lighter green in places. It's as if the lighter markings were making a crude map, with an "X" to mark somewhere in a cave, and a path dotted across the area. a cave swallowed the "X" and there were cliff sides jagged and other pictures of note to look at.

"Shush-shush. Sorry, but I want less people knowing about this as possible - Who knows if there are rivals trying to head to the same thing as I am..."
Calming down, he didn't notice anyone who could of heard except one pony by herself. Act dismissed it as a lucky break and continued the conversation with his peers.
"But you know, that's pretty awesome that there's something in common between us. Far Out did it privately and tried to document all he could. Most of his adventures were just to get somewhere or find something that other ponies or races knew or realized were there.
I was told that when my dad found this stone, he almost never got out of the area because of the dangers. Flame geysers, difficult crossings, the over-sized tyrants and other creatures. Water ran out quickly, but he foresaw the issue and filled already empty bottles with snow on the mountains to melt along the journey and boil it later. Shaded areas were a must to stay inside most of the time to conserve energy and sweat."
He paused for a moment and looked at the dull treasure.
"One day though, he got the scale shale and gave it to a smith in Manehattan to put it in the ring as a gift to my mother. The day after he gave her the item, Far Out went on an adventure again, of which no pony saw him ever again. She waited for a long time, but we continued living as much as we could until she was gone too."
A slightly pained mask was visible as Act remembered those bittersweet memories. But the mask was worn for only a moment until he looked at the 2 mares again with determination.
"But this is what was really left behind by my father..."
He took the ornament from the pony opposite himself without hesitation. The hoof raised the ringed rock to a window with a full beam shining from behind Book Keeper's head. The stone then changed in luster, as the rays penetrated it and passed through, leaving an emerald-like shimmer left behind. It's like it had transformed the dull rock into a beautiful gem.
"Look at the table, friends..."
As the sun forced it's light through the stone, it tinted part of the table bright green. However, there were gaps of lighter green in places. It's as if the lighter markings were making a crude map, with an "X" to mark somewhere in a cave, and a path dotted across the area. a cave swallowed the "X" and there were cliff sides jagged and other pictures of note to look at.

Focusing eye contact with Keeper's inquisitive pair, he replies in the soft volume he started with.
"Well, it belong to my father - Far Out. He was an adventurer and he told me that found this green stone while excavating in the Badlands. It's call "scale shale," a fossilized material that originated from dragon's scales. It's rare for us to see it because of the obvious reason of giant elemental-breath reptiles defending their domain. Mostly fire."
Act then shifted the object slightly, now giving attention to the brass ring surrounding the green "shale."
"I don't actually know why it's inside this though - I thought it might be just to give it ornamental value, but I don't know anything else about it."

"Thank you, Ms Keeper - I'll be sure to remember that."
He then takes a couple of quick looks around and leans more forward and lowers his voice so that only the other 2 should hear.
"The reason I need the information is this."
As his hooves grab the paper of the hidden object, Act's teeth grab the string at an end and pulls it loose. Trying to shield any extra attention to it, he covers up and uses his muzzle to unfold the rest of the paper wrapping. Revealing the contents, the package holds a green hexagon stone that has been framed inside a brass circle. Whereas the brass would have some shimmer to it, the stone was more jaded inside the general lighting. Other than that, it was a simple design and probably wouldn't fetch most pony's attention unless they have a particular taste.
The stony coated pony would give some space for the other 2 to look at the ornament.

((Welcome, Quill. Happy for the extra company - I hope it's to your liking.))
Following the other member's lead, the stallion makes his choice of treats.
"Thanks, I'll have a Caramel Latte with one of the mixed muffin selections to share."
He puts the menu to the side and nods to the waiter in appreciation for his work.
Happy with the conditions and having everyone present, he starts off the meeting while the food and drinks are being sorted.
"Thanks again for your patience and help with the previous misunderstandings. As I've' already spoken about, I'm looking for maps, rumours and information about a place. I believe my destination is somewhere in the Badlands, and since not many ponies would have more than a general assumption going there, I needed your help to find information - Miss... Erm..."
Before he realized it, Act had stumbled upon something - Even though he'd introduced himself to everyone, he never got the name of the other mare. He had heard Lollipop introduce herself, but not had the chance to ask of the unicorn's introduction. A little bit embarrassed from not knowing this yet with everything else going on, the secretive pony pushes the issue.
"Sorry, but I don't think I ever caught your name yet. With all the commotion, I think we lost the earlier opportunity."

As the ponies trot into the local cafe, Act One holds the door for the mares to follow inside. As they entered, he immediately looked around for a spot where there was no window near them, away from most of the other guests. Luckily, the group stumbled in when peak time was over, so there were a few spots. He picked out a corner table so that he can check easy in one direction is anyone was prying into the conversation.
"Found a table, this way please."
Making his way to the seats, he picked the one in the corner, but waited until the other 2 had sat down to take his. At the same time, this allowed him to get the pouch and the mysterious item which was wrapped up and tied in paper and string.
((OOC: I'll be away for a few days after this post, but will come back to this on Sunday earliest. Sorry for such the huge wait.)
