Where's Honest Jack been for the past couple of days? Doing Honest work, that's what. Not all Honest work, mind you, he's also been researching runes (read: stealing books from that one rich purple alicorn down the street, whats her face) to cast upon the Forbidden Forest. He's done a decent job of hiding the specific stolen books, he believes. They're nearly as hard to find as his wine. He'd ask Ink if anyone was still in the Forest, but he'd much rather just crash next to the fireplace, chug down some wine, and smack anything that dared to speak in his presence, he simply altered the specifics of the runes so that it'd only affect people entering the forest.
Once he finishes applying the runes, he trots back to his gambling booth. Wine was good, but there wasn't anything much funner than swindling innocents.

Sparkle got up shakily, turning back to face her two pursuers.  "Why would I care if you left me here?" she said, sounding tired and fed up.  "It's not like anypony would miss me if I vanished," she said.  It's not like her missing friend would find out or anything, so she didn't really care if she was trapped in the forest.

LOUD GROANING. Jack is heavily tempted to just. Use magic to collapse the rocks under her and be done with it. "Look, spit out your reason, we'll help, and then get out."

He rides Ink, up until the cliff. He wants to keep chasing her, but he didn't want to risk Ink getting hurt. He also feels as if he could just teleport over, but didn't feel it was worth it. HOP OFF OF INK. "Listen, missy, I ain't playing this game anymore. You're either leaving, or I'm leaving you here. Either way, I'm gonna put up the runes."

Ink squealed at Jack going in, soon barreling after him. Even in danger, he refused to leave his side. That, and he doesn't want him getting lost. His wishing for being able to fly was lost and turned into a bunch of gibberish, since he always seemed to have trouble talking while galloping. Oh well. You got an Ink with you, Jacky.
Am I gonna have to carry you, ya twig. Do we do the silly teamworks?

"NEVER!!" She screamed, completely losing it.  She fired a massive teleport, leaving fire where she once stood.  Sparkle had teleported halfway across the forest, and it wasn't likely she would be found.

He mumbles another variety of no-no words, this time one based around the gender of Sparkle and for reasons unknown relating it to a female member of the canine genus. SUDDENLY, HOP ONTO THE INK. TELEPORT AFTER HER. PROPEL YOURSELF WITH HIM. this looks absolutely ridiculous.

Sparkle heard hoofsteps coming up fast behind her.  She didn't even have to look back to know who it was.  "I'm not going back until I find Shadow!" she shouted behind her, teleporting some distance ahead.  She wasn't about to let that annoying unicorn stop her from saving her friend.

He teleported after her. His own teleport didn't carry him as much distance, but he made up for it with how much he could cast it. "I don't care who you're looking for! Get back here!" His horn glowed, ready to cast any spells at her he'd have to.

He mumbles a variety of things that are not allowed to be said on these forums. "Ink. Stay here. Or don't. Whatever you want. I'm going in after her." That's not the best way to comfort him, Jack. He galloped after Sparkle, practically burning with spite and anger. Beware any unfortunate changelings.

Ink will probably stay by Jack's side, although he made a small alarmed sound at someone entering the forest, right over the wolves! IS SHE MAD?! He looked back to Sparkle with wide eyes, making a panicking sound towards her as he tried to spit out the words. He wanted to tell her a pegasus just went into the woods, but he just couldn't make himself say it, instead going 'aaah! aaah! aaah!'.
I am apparently a babycake. I accept this.

Sparkle sat down outside the castle, frustrated and somewhat lonely now.  She missed her old friend, she wished that she hadn't left him.  But that was a mistake that couldn't be fixed now.  She suddenly remembered sensing some sort of danger nearby the forest, and, worrying about Ink now, she teleported back to the entrance to the forest, only to find Shadow missing.

He let out a small groan at Sparkle's return. "Did you really think I'd leave so quickly? Take a hike!" He's getting a little agitated with her by now. He really just wants to cast the runes on the forest, then go back home to chug down a nice Chianti.

"Sorry, you not caring sounds a whole lot like 'I'm not letting you go'." Joy poked the figurative bear, antagonizing Jack.

"Yeah. I guess from a certain point of view, that was what I was saying, wasn't it? I did say to leave or get thrown out." He wasn't feeling like fighting anyone right now. Not in front of bbycake Ink Comet.

"Hey, cheer up. The main issue's been solved. The timberwolves are someone else's problem...and by the way, whoever you are, I really don't care if she wanted to go. Lots of stupid ponies want lots of stupid things." He intends to just let someone else take care of them, then start casting runes onto the forest. He'll probably be here all night.

Sparkle sighed, seeing how distressed Ink was.  The worry in his eyes reminded her of a very special friend she once had, who used to worry about her the same way.  "...Alright, i'll wait until daylight.  But ONLY because your friend is worried," she said, refusing to give in to the other stallion's intimidation.

"You ain't going then either, but it's fine. I can wait." Who knows? Maybe he'll try and cast a few protection runes on the entrance to the forest. Knowing him though, it'd probably do only slightly less damage than the forest itself.

Ink rested his head against the fur lined coat HJ was wearing once nudged, looking pretty concerned about Sparkle. And all these people has left Ink shutting his trap. Should he just go into the forest with Sparkle and drag Honest away from his wine? Nnn...But that means no more fireplace cuddles! He fidgeted, frowning for once while squinting at nothing in particular.
Ink's ears swiveled forward at the sound, tapping his foot three times. Jack. Jaaaack scary thing. Do something about it I don't like iiit. :C

He patted Ink with a hoof, trying to calm him down. SHHHH ITS FINE I GOT THIS BRO. He looks back up at Sparkle. "To be honest, I'm more concerned for the stability of my friend here than I am you, babycakes. Think about more than yourself. By going in there, you're hurting him-he's a very sensitive person. Just look at him! Even if you're fine, he'll still feel bad. I know it. Now, like I said, you ain't goin' in there."

Sparkle looked even more annoyed now.  She wasn't about to lose her temper though.  "I appreciate your concern, but I'll be just fine," she says with a sigh.  She didn't like it when other ponies tried to control what she did.

"I don't think you quite understand what I'm sayin', sweetcheeks. I'm not warnin' you about not going into the forest, I'm not letting you into the forest."

He just shrugs at her. "Look, it'd be a great relief on my friend here," He gently nudges Ink Comet. "If you just didn't go. Now, I could just drag you back with my magic, but I'd rather not do that since I've promised to not be violent, but hey, ya gotta hurt ponies if you're gonna help em, dad always said." Your father never once said that you liar. "Oh, and to whoever that was, I'm just gonna go off and say that I think you're lying. Maybe for encouragement, maybe malice, I dunno. "

Sparkle looked even more confused now.  Figuring these ponies were probably worried about her, she decided to try to set their minds at ease.  "Don't worry, I can handle myself," she said, now recognizing the unicorn from earlier.  "Oh, and, by the way, I know you cheated at roulette earlier," she said to him, hiding a smug look.

Ink just nodded while Jack spoke, agreeing with the dapper one's words. The other was so much better with words, after all. Actually being able to speak while moving is even better! His ears were swiveling about, on alert, ready to cry out in warning to the other two. He wasn't aware of a certain Delilah in the area, his doll-like eyes only shifting between Honest Jack and Sparkle. He was mumbling about danger under his softly panting breath.
Then she said that.
Miru just made a look at them both, then cheekily grinned. "Heeehehehe. But. Why do you wanna go in there?" He asked, breathlessly tittering.

"I know you did. It took you long enough. I practically had to start firing off fireworks with my horn to get you to do it." To the changeling, odds are that Jack felt like a constant stream of...not exactly hate or anger, just bitterness and cynicism. "That ain't a very good reason, sweetcheeks. I'll cut to the point; ponies have died in there. Ponies are, at some point in time, probably gonna die in there again. Make things convenient for us. Don't be the pony that dies in there."

His eye twitched some at the pain, then a brief sneer. Yeah, that hurt. His eyes went over to look at Jack's drink, sniffing a little to see what was in there but...Hot drink again. Weh. His ears went back once more, sitting upright in his seat for once as if offended that there was no water at the table. "...Nnnoooo I don't think you'd do that. Cause. Cause we're friends, right?" He smiles sheepishly to the other, ears still down. He is awfully clingy, but since he hasn't had a lot of friends, he's scared of losing him. Also because Jack knows...THE NAME.

He reaches over and pats Ink on the side, small smile replacing his casual sneer. "Of course we're friends." He says before quickly going back to his normal slight-constant-anger. "And I'll bop ya one if you think otherwise." The name is the gain for the game of the pain of Ink-welp, there goes that rhyme. Hello Darkness My Old Friend~

Ink pulled his bags back on, all ready. He hurried out the door after Sparkle, leaving the door open for Honest Jack. Going in pairs is always a good idea. And...Having a magic user nearby is also good. One that knows how to dispel the illusions that might pop up now and then (or were they just shadows?). "Miss! Miss don't go in there!" He called out, voice cracking as he called out.

Besides switching his current suit jacket out for a fur coat because the Everfree is cold, he pretty much just follows behind Ink Spot. "Lady! This is public property that happens to be infested with many monsters that see you as dinner! We would all prefer if you did not fulfill that role!"

Ink's ears went straight up as he saw Sparkle pass, brows shooting up. "That unicorn just passed our house. Heading to the Everfree. Shouldn't we uh. Warn her?" He cleared his throat awkwardly, sipping the wine a bit more while his brows furrowed. He was never a fan of people mindlessly wandering into dangerous areas, as it more often than not lead to them meeting Ink's dad in a way nobody is happy with. When the Ink dad is unhappy, nobody is happy. Well. When he's MORE unhappy. He's always kinda frowning.

He takes a long, deep sigh, setting his empty glass aside before taking a rather large gulp out of the bottle, then putting the bottle away for later. And just sort of. Pouring out Ink's glass and putting it into the sink. He's probably taking a little more time then he should. "Let's get going. I'd rather not have to pull them out afterwards."

Ink's ears went back at HJ's words, but at the cocoa coming, they spring back forward, the childish adult stirring it in a bit before taking a burning gulp of it. "Me? Not fast enough? That's a liiie! You probably some classy lady, then got turned down by her! ...Ooor you didn't like what you heard and fast walked off while I was changing." He took a normal sip this time, breathing out a bit of steam. He refused to show pain, however. I will be man in this aspect, for you.

He raised an eyebrow at Ink's lack of, well, expressiveness at his comment. Ink, as shown by his entrance, is an extremely expressive person, so containing himself is almost a challenge to the dapper stallion. "Please, do you really think I'd do that to you? Wouldn't be very classy. _{Like the rest of the degenerate scum in this city.}"

Ink took the glass, only having a little sip. He cooed out a 'thank you' to the other, even though he wasn't that big a fan of wine. It wasn't something he could guzzle down like he could with his soda, after all. He didn't need a large amount to relax, either, seeing as he didn't get as stressed out like HJ did just by being around people. "I still can't believe we see some people with bigger egos than your's, still. A little overwhelming to me, at the least." Ink commented. "Do you think they're chosen for something, HJ?"

There was a second of silence, before HJ said "No, I don't think they are. They may think they are, but I'd hope that if there was some kind of deity that chose people for something, it would choose them after they've proven themselves worthy of the title. Never before. I guess what I mean is that nobody should be born into greatness, they gotta work for it like the rest of us." That particular view of HJ's was a bit of a leftover from one of his Uncles' large amount of influence on the colt growing up.

Ink had no idea he upsetted two lovely cafe patrons, and resumed being much too excited to pull off any kind of classy air HJ was probably hoping to have him gain. He wiggled in his seat excitedly, offering him a beaming smile. Ink rested his chin on the counter, hooves up on there as he panted a bit more.
"I was looking for you! You left me behind. Terrible lesson in independence. Never again." He chattered out to the other. What is he gonna order? ...Well. Hot cocoa with extra whipped cream.
He had no idea a pony followed him into the cafe, but ey. To each their own.

"I didn't leave you behind, you just couldn't follow fast enough!" He tries to keep his voice down, but he's already sorta following the train of thought of 'Well I've already been disappointed, why bother anymore?', so it's just barely an inside voice.
He couldn't help but very slightly cringe at Ink's choice of drink. Coffee, in HJ's eyes, was meant to be a classy, business like drink meant to keep you going for any work you must do.
Hot cocoa with whipped cream.
HJ is not pleased.
