Flame is in the center of town waiting for the others to arrive

a  turquoise blue pony  advances slowly seems tired and very weak

Chrysteel Cautiously approaches the town center keeping in the shadows. she tries to remain in them because of the stories she has heard about the ponies and the fact she is a half-pony hybrid of what tried to hurt their home. She watches the blueish pony, same color as her eyes, wanting to help him but not wanting to be seen by those who would hurt her.

hm Farsight, Star where are you Flame mutters to himself

((Um creeper this isn't a jump in you have to sign up X3 ))

Farsight leaves his house, taking a second to glance up at the floating city that was their target. He snarls silently at it, before he locks his door and makes his way to where Flame said to meet him. After only a little while, Flame can see Farsight in the distance, armored and equipped with his saddlebag already. "Hello, Flame. Are we ready?" He asks, looking back over his shoulder at the city in the sky once more.

almost we just need Star I wonder if any pony else knows about this

the mare notices a blue pony struggling and approaches Are you ok?

Star arrives at the town center with saddlebags on and a mallet on his back Hello Flame sorry I'm late

it's okay so here is the plan there appears to be a newly built lighthouse near the floating city well to be exact right under it I think that they might be connected well they probably are

well lets head out shall we? Star confidently

"Yes, lets." Farsight says, and moves to follow Flame.

"[glow=silver,4,600]Umm.....Did you say you were going to the floating city?[/glow]" Chrysteel says to the group of ponies that where near where she was in the shadows. "[glow=silver,4,600]May I Join you?[/glow]"

Flame turns to the pony this will be no game it's not a vacation we are going to take down a pony

Silent Shadow arrives flying to the meeting point, wearing his armor, his saddlebag and the dagger on the side. He lands and examines the surroundings.

"[glow=silver,4,600]Well....Then......I want to help. If the pony has done wrong or hurt some-pony, that pony needs to fall.[/glow]" She says as she steps out of the shadows and into the light. Chrysteel has a look of determination all over her face and it looks like she has skills that may help at times. She looks like a strange hybrid of pony and something else. she is currently black with pink spots on her carapace's back near and around her translucent feathered pink wings. Her eyes are currently a moody pink. She has a horn that looks to be a lightning bolt with holes in it but not all the way through. It looks as if she is controlling the eye color with an active spell and most of her form looks to be natural.

speaking with difficulty, as if he had enough strength to stand.

good to get beat that pony is the most important although he is very powerful,

the pony says this last word tasting reveling in its pronunciation

Yeah lets take him down if he aims to hurt anypony  :D  Star said enthusiastically 

"[glow=yellow,4,600]Does he feel? Can he be made to fear? or Does he not feel and is heartless?[/glow]" Chrysteel asks as she gets closer to the group. On her back is two blades, they look like Keyblades, One looks like Aubade ((Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days version)) and the other looks like Oathkeeper ((Kingdom Hearts Re:Coded version)). their form changes with their master as her emotional state goes from light to dark and back again. she never is apart from her blades by the way they are held to her back as they embody her most prized virtues, being herself and being unwilling to give up even if it seams pointless an endless oath that never fails her.

Silent Shadow is wandering in the meeting point examining the surroundings "Therefore, the letter said that I should come here and it would be another group that I should follow..." he said to himself.

Flame nods he starts walking towards the docks where the lighthouse has been put come on let's get moving ((this will move a bit slowly at first since I will be very busy this week but it should pick up on the weekend))

((no problem Flame)) Yay adventure Star bounced behind Flame with his hammer making a thud on the ground each time

Dark Hooves prepares himself for the long trip which he gets his sword and reading some notes on his newest spells which allow him to enchant a weapon with a specific elemental magic. After which he starts walking to the meeting point.

((edited))

((Um Dark we are still in Equestria actually I should probably make that clear sorry X3 ))

((I just edited the post))

The Wanderer appeared from the shadows, holding a staff in the crook of her foreleg.  She smiles slightly, feeling the breeze on her fur, and her new sense of physical presence, her cloak billowing slightly.

After another moment, the shimmering mare walks towards the meeting point, closing all her other senses for the moment.

Dark Hooves arrives at the meeting point.

Dark Hooves: Hello everypony.

dark and Wanderer can see the others heading off to the docks they aren't too far away

The Wanderer approaches, observing and utilizing her Void Wisdom to discern the use and name of each and every item present, as well as the language being used by each and every individual present.

Flame sees the Wanderer  and looks at her hello there I take it you will be accompanying us too

((I edited my previous posts so that my OC is still in Equestria as you wanted, Flame))

Silent Shadow noticed the group and approaches to them with a slow pace "Must be them..." he said to himself.

Demongo look all ponies, strong, vigorous and full of life, however he has had better days, after being defeated by Jack, akku banished and wandered what could not get any essence, maybe now you get lucky and get your objective

The figure bowed.  "I assume it to be the case, sir.  Well-met.  I am called the Wanderer; I would be honored to make your acquaintance?"

Flame nods, the group soon arrives at the lighthouse  this is the point of no return now tell me are you all sure you want to go on this might I remind you this is a very dangerous mission so turn back now if you want

A mare wearing a hooded cloack stands next to the lighthouse and is looking at it. "They were meant to come here. I only need to wait for them to come." The mare thinks.

The mare smiled.  "I think all of us are quite certain of our desire to complete this mission.  We are here, after all, are we not?"

Of Course Flame I'm going to see this to the end star smiled confidently

dark and Wanderer can see the others heading off to the docks they aren't too far away

Dark Hooves follows them.

Dark Hooves: I'm all set and ready for anything that might happen.

Flame nods he opens up the doors inside there is a basin of water and a sign that says "we shall cleanse your sins" it is by a staircase Flame walks in ans starts heading up the stairs

((are we on the ship, or are we still walking to it))

((flame just entered the tower I think))
Star followed behind Flame so what did you learn about this guy? he inquired

Silent Shadow follows the group without being noticed.

Dark Hooves starts walking up the stairs, but stops and looks back for a moment.

Dark Hooves: (thinking) Weird, I thought I sensed somepony's mana, but nopony is there. I guess I was wrong.

"That was close, I have do be more careful" he thought.

Well as you can see he is very religious Flame says
((and yeah he entered the tower))

Dark Hooves continues walking up the stairs.

SS keeps following them paying more attention to avoid being seen.

 Religious for what  star asked confused look around the tower

Farsight had been following along with the group, knowing he wouldn't turn back anyway. His head tilted as he read the sign, wondering about this "Clopstock". He doesn't say anything, only preparing himself mentally.

The Wanderer uses Void's Wisdom: Familiarity on the basin and the stairs.

I have no idea Flame says
the basin is filled with holy water

Star stopped moving out of the others way and looked at the basin studying the water this water doesn't seem the same as other water

it's probably holy water come on up here I found something Flame calls down

Silent Shadow is watching the ponies near the basin from behind a wall, not making himself seen "What are they doing?" he think.

Star hurries up the stairs to Flame trying not to bump into the other ponies

Wanderer's Void Wisdom: Familiarity allows her to know everything there is to know about the holy water, the basin, and how it is used, as well as what risks there are and what benefits to using it.

Dark Hooves: (using his magic sense to check the holy water's mana) Interesting, I sense both yin and yang energy coming from this.

the holy water appears to be used to clean ponies of sins it's water with some holy attributes there appears to be no threat to using it

Flame and Star come across a door with three bells Flame takes out the card and flips it over ((Without the human ))

"They are too far, I can't see a thing, I have to get closer" he thought and he took the shade form ((basically he can become a shadow and move around without be seen easily)) and hides behind another wall closer to them so he can see.

Dark Hooves: Alright.

((got to go, be back on tomorrow))

hmm what is this Star looked at the Door getting closer to it

Flame rings the bells according to the card the once yellow beam turns red as the foghorn sounds three times it's our way into the city

SS sees the bells "So, those bells will take me to the city, uhm?" he thought

Star looked around in awe

SS hides behind the wall to avoid being seen by Star

the door opens up and the windows are surrounded in steel the top is a launch pod. EVERYPONY UP HERE WE ARE LEAVING!

Farsight had been examining the basin, but when he heard the bells and foghorn, he galloped up the stairs. He was quick, especially when he heard Flame yell out. "Let's get going then..."

"Darn it, this is my only chance to get in that city, I have to be quick" he thought as he took again the shade form and took advantage of a dark space for hiding under Flame's shadow.

((Those who are not online, will just follow I suppose))

The Wanderer utilizes the holy water, then gets aboard the pod, once again using Void Wisdom: Familiarity to know everything there is to know about the pod.

the doors close when everypony enters the pod a slight rumble is heard before it rockets into the sky it shoots above the clouds and into a sunny  area the group can see a large veiw of Equmbia "Hallelujah" a robotic voice says

"Hallelujah and Amen," smiles the Wanderer softly, using Void Wisdom: Familiarity and Void Wisdom: Sense to get a good understanding of the culture and mannerisms of the people who built the machine, how to operate the machine, what it does, and whether there is any evil that is nearby or approaching.

"Praise to the Lord,
   the Almighty, the King of creation. 
   O my soul, praise him,
   for he is thy health and salvation! 
   All ye who hear,
   now to his temple draw near;
   join me in glad adoration!"

"This situation is starting to become weird..." he thought as he's hidden under Flame's shadow

whoa this is interesting Star said after the machine took off

hm well when this lands we will have to find this clopstock pony obviously

Farsight was taken by surprise as the pod launched high into the air, and the voice spoke out. "Yes... This is all very interesting... And... Unless they built some spot to land on... We're going to crash...."

the pod starts to float down into a building while floating down the walls are written on in another language and so out prophet Clopstock took us to this city he had built this city on his own with only hope  his daughter was born after a week of conception and was dubbed the lamb of Equmbia however lady Clopstock was "taken care" by daisy Fitzroy and her group of dark worhipers the lamb now rests within Monument island protected from any harm Flame says he appears to be reading it it's Evillian

"This is interesting, really interesting..." he thought as he's hidden under Flame's shadow.

Farsight is relieved that instead of falling straight down, they floated. He listens to Flame read the script, without saying a word.

hmm star was thinking about of the word Flame

it's written in my country's language hm

Wanderer uses Void Wisdom: Familiarity and Void Wisdom: Sense to get a good understanding of the culture and mannerisms of the people who built the machine, how to operate the machine, what it does, and whether there is any evil that is nearby or approaching.

the pod soon lands and the door opens there a stain glass of a old Pony he is surrounded in light under it reads "our leader Clopstock" the room is flooded in water and there is a path leading to the entrance of the city I'm guessing this is a church

Star steps into the water and looks around Ugh I don't lie it when water is like this on the floor Star said worried

yeah same here but come on let's get moving Flame says walking away

Star followed Flame looking through the water to see if he could see anything underneath You think this is holy water too Flame?

Wanderer uses Void Wisdom: Familiarity and Void Wisdom: Sense to get a good understanding of the culture and mannerisms of the people who built the place, how to operate any tools here, what the building is for, and whether there is any evil that is nearby or approaching.

She scrutinizes the place.  "I think the building is..."

((insert the purpose and name of the building, as well as any evil that's nearby))

The mare was hiding in the pod using her cloack to prevent herself from being seen. ""I think they didn't notice me. That other pony has much better way to hide... Well, maybe I should show myself to these ponies soon." She thinks.

demongo follow ponys, slwoly but steady

yes this is holy water Flame says walking through the water they soon come across an old pony standing in the water he looks up is it someone new? the pony is obviously blind

((insert the purpose and name of the building, as well as any evil that's nearby))

She tells the others quietly what the building is and what it was used for, as well as whether the blind pony is evil, and whether there are dangers around.

She also tells them a bit about the ponies or people who built this place and how to properly greet them or speak with them if necessary, which subjects to avoid, and how to defuse an argument.

" Who is this pony? and what's so special about that water?" he thought as he's hidden under Flame's shadow.

The mare walks to the exit of the pod and notices the water on the floor. "Great... Well, now they surely notice me." She thinks and jumps to the water causing a small splash.

Dark Hooves: (using his magic sense while following them) (quietly) More holy water. (takes a step) (quietly) It can carry my wieght. (follows the others)

((well, the GM isn't giving descriptions, so I'll be making stuff up as I go along then.  Tell me if this is incorrect, FlameandIce.))

Wanderer turns to the others.

"This was a sanctuary, a place of worship for the cult that runs the city.  They believe that they are the 'true' citizens of Equestria, with a manifest destiny to conquer and rule over all other nations in the world.  There are several sources of evil on the other side of the room just outside the doors, though I cannot be certain.  The holy water is harmless, and actually helps to purge most shadow based effects from you, as well as giving a bit of healing if you have wounds."

She looks up.  "When speaking with the ponies who live here, be polite and respectful, and try not to use conjunctions.  Be very cautious of bringing up politics and the words 'Celestia' and 'Luna', since the ponies here believe in their own 'god', not in the Sisters."

((like I said, if I don't get a reply as to what things are, I'm going to be making stuff up and assuming it's true.))

((oh sorry I wasn't sure well you got it right anyways X3 ))
we demand access into the city Flame says the blind pony chuckles my son the only way into the city is through rebirth you must accept the bastism he says okay listen it's either this or we turn back just go one right after the other okay Flame walks over to the priest and takes his hoof under the eye of out god we purge this pony of his sins the pony shoves Flame under the water he pulls him out after a few seconds Flame gasps for air I don't think this one is clean yet one more go the priest shoves Flame under the water again this time he passes out from lack of air the priest sends him float down the river leading to the city now who is next

"For Celestia's sake! He drowned him! ...I'll take care of this pony when we get to city... I hope he survives" he thought as he's hidden under Flame's shadow paying attention to the changes that makes the water to his shadow.

((In the shade form he is immune to all elements except for the fire, light and electricity))

((Weremetalwolf it might be a good idea for that to happen to you they will know they have powersssssss))

((Ok then, I'll make a little change))

"I can't take it anymore, I've been in this for to long. Apparently I have no other choice but to do that baptism" he thought as he goes quickly in the pod and took his normal form.

((Like this?))

Dark Hooves: I'll go after him.

The Wanderer smiles slightly.  "Void abilities are not even necessary in this situation."

With a simple glow of magic, she lifts Flame's body from the river, setting him in a safe location such that he can breathe.

"Sir.  I observe that you are acting in an antagonistic manner towards us.  Please cease at once."

She readies her staff, prepared to use either physical or non-physical methods of defense.

((thank you ^-^ ))
I am not trying to this is our ritual please try to understand this is normal he should be fine by now

Flame wakes up his is surrounded by the statues of Discord, Sombra, and Nightmare moon that preist needs to know the difference between a bastism and a drowning

"You are aware, are you not, that the equine body requires oxygen in order to function?  Yet full immersion for a reasonable period of time is sufficient for purification and cleansing," replies the mare coolly.

Wait did he drown oh no I-I didn't mean to I can't see I'm sorry I won't let it happen to you others

Quote from: FlameandIce on 2013 May 01, 18:56:02
Wait did he drown oh no I-I didn't mean to I can't see I'm sorry I won't let it happen to you others

The mare smiles icily.  "Not quite, although he became medically unconscious as a result of your actions, sir.  If you will allow, the others will immerse themselves fully for a time voluntarily and by their own, rather than by force, and you may be the judge as to whether they are sufficiently purified?"

understood the ancient blind pony says

The Wanderer turns to the others.  "If the rest of you are in agreement with this, please immerse yourselves fully in the Blessed Water, hold your breath, and come up for air when you need.  Allow the Reverend Father to examine you for purity.  Repeat this process until you are sufficiently pure for entry into the Holy City."

Dark Hooves: Got it.

Silent Shadow comes out from the pod and vanish the armor, then he do what the Wanderer said with diffidence.

As each of the ponies do as they are told the preist let's them through


Flame looks around at the statues of the three ancient evils

Dark Hooves approaches and enters a meditative state to slow his heart rate and breathing.

The Wanderer does as the others do, and emerges upon the farther shore purged of evil.  She smiles slightly and turns to observe the others' progress after having been accepted by the Reverend Father.

The mare follows the others like she would have been in that  group from the beginning. "Didn't they hear that splash or don't they care?" She thinks.

"How long it takes before I get to the city?" he thought.

The group arrives at the main entrance to the city they can see Flame and the the statues of Sombra, Discord and Nightmare Moon

Silent Shadow comes out of the water gasping for breath "It was a close call..." after he catches his breath he looks around "Sombra, Discord and Nightmare Moon, what is the meaning of this?"

Dark Hooves: (looking at the statues) These are previous enemies Equestria has had to deal with in the past.

yeah seems like they worship them

Dark Hooves: That's really odd, I hope we didn't put ourselves in a bad predicament.

((it looks like I missed something important I'm just going to put what Star would of said if that is ok))
Star looked at the water unsure about it but eventually went in for a few minutes and emerged a little bit later. He caught with the rest of the group

---

Oh why these being those

"It seems that we ended up in some kind of sect." he said inspecting the area looking for some clues about the city.

the city is very bright and sunny everypony is very happy just like a normal city however a giant monument looms over them it's of an unknown alicorn the statue is made of pure gold come on let's get going guys Flame says walking away

Dark Hooves follows while checking every corner he comes across and using his magic sense to check for danger.

Dark Hooves: This place could be dangerous, everypony please keep your guard up.

 Whoa Star exclaimed as he followed Flame to think that this city has been like this being secluded

He follows Flame "This city seems unnatural to me" he thought as he looks around suspiciously.

a little colt runs up to Flame "telegram for you sir" huh "telegram" he takes a slip of paper and gives it to Flame and runs off "do not draw attention to yourself act natural don't alert ClopStock of your presence - Lutence"

hmm Star thinks on the the random telegram well we should find some place to stay and keep our things at

I prefer to keep my stuff with me in case something doesn't go right

"Imagine the possibility that we no longer have the chance to return to where we left our things and we need something. No thank you, I prefer keep my stuff." he said to himself

I see what y'all mean Star shrugs the issue off.

The Wanderer frowned, and used her Void Wisdom: Sense to see if she could detect the (very obvious) evil in the city, how near it was, how many evil creatures were around, etc.

There is no evil around besides the statues however there is a strong arua coming from the alicorn statue

Star looks at the statue Who do you think this is could be I've never seen them before

Wanderer frowns, looking at Star, then looking back at the alicorn statue.

"It feels as though there is an extremely strong aura coming from that statue, she whispered to Star.  "Let me try something."

She used her Void Wisdom: Familiarity to know as much as possible about the statue, its origin, purpose, and other information, becoming as familiar with it as its makers.

the statue seems to just be emitting a small arua a larger one in the distence gives off a much stronger arua Flame looks the giant statue let's try over there
((looks like this but with an alicorn

Star looks at Wanderer interested then turns to follow Flame So what do you think it will be like here?

"Dangerous," replies the mare without hesitation.  "No matter what ponies say, be on your guard.  You saw the priest and the statues."

which brings up another question. How come he didn't know about the fact we have to breath what kind of aura did he give off to you?
((Brb shower))

they aren't going to harm us I can tell at least along as they don't know what we are doing Flame says he starts walking away towards the giant monument

Wanderer frowned.  "I sensed..."

She recalls her use of Void Wisdom: Sense on the priest several moments ago ((GM's choice what she sensed)) as she follows Flame.

there was nothing wrong no evil in him at all he was just a normal pony

Really nothing at all? then ...hmm Star was thinking on the situation

"Many good ponies can be deceived into doing what is evil, yet have no evil intention," noted Wanderer softly.  "He probably believed that what he was doing was proper and holy and good.  That is why we must be even more on our guard here."

just remember they are harmless just don't provoke them

The mare follows the others and is looking around. "That is one big and strange statue." She thinks when she sees the statue of the unknown alicorn.

Dark Hooves: It must have taken a long time to build that statue unless a supernatural force had helped them build it.

Silent Shadow's looks at the statue "That statue does not inspire me any good" he thinks.

Quote from: Dark Hooves on 2013 May 03, 07:45:18
Dark Hooves: It must have taken a long time to build that statue unless a supernatural force had helped them build it.

Wanderer nods.  "Well, let's see exactly how long, and why."

She squinted and concentrated, using Void Wisdom: Familiarity on the enormous statue.

Dark Hooves silently watches while Wanderer checks out the statue.

the statue gives off a strong aura and it appears to be hollow another aura can be felt inside of a pony

I don't know what to say about this statue it just feels wrong an more than one account

Dark Hooves: I'm not liking this. (unsheathes his crystal bladed broadsword and starts looking around)

"I have a bad feeling about this"  he said as he looks around for any possible danger and unsheathes the dagger.

put away your blades just act normally calm down this is what would get us killed

Star sighed don't jump to conclusions guys or else you will get hurt. Trust me I know Star tied calm them down with Flame

He puts away his dagger "Alright, but I still don't feel at my ease..."

Dark Hooves puts his sword back into its scabbard but remain on edge.

She already knows that it is evil from Void Wisdom: Sense.  Wanderer is attempting to examine its history, how it was made, why it was made and what it is being used for by using Void Wisdom: Familiarity, which grants her a creator's familiarity with any object.

it was made to house a young mare who was named the Lamb her aura seems to be a strong one though she is very depressed

A mare walks up to the group "free sample" huh the mare takes out a bottle with a heart on it "it's a vigor want one" Flame takes the bottle and drinks it his hoof turns green and it surrounded in a green aura

"What's that?" he asks curious.

Dark Hooves: Careful Flame, you won't know what that will do to you.

Star went to Dark and whisperedHey don't make such a ruckus about this let Flame do what he needs to. Remember we need to stay low

The mare moves aside revealing a machine a vending machine "try it out" Flame aims his hoof at the machine and fires a green blast from it the machine turns green and a few coins shoot from it Flame catches them what's this he asks "Silver alicorn what have you been livin under a rock" the mare asks jokingly Flame chuckles sorry that's right

Dark Hooves: (whispers) Sorry.

him energy from your hooves huh star pondered on what Flame just did

Wanderer frowned, using Familiarity on the items to see whether they have some danger that is unknown, and what ELSE the things are used for.  In doing so she gains a familiarity with the objects that only a pony who grew up around them should have.

After a second (it only takes a glance), she turns to the others.

"Ponies, these might be a bit dangerous.  This is.."

Star looks at Wanderer don't worry I'm sure this nice mare would do anything to harm us Star looks at the mare Do you have anymore miss?

"of course I think I have enough for all of you" the mare says the Vigor seems harmless enough it appears to have the abillity to posses machines to side with you

Star takes some of the Vigor well here goes nothing  Star drinks it Star looks as his hoof glows green oooo

Wanderer uses Sense to see if there's evil nearby other than from the Alicorn (for instance, from the Vigor or from the mare).

there is no evil anywhere nearby not from the mare nor the Vigor "so do any of you want a free sample"

"Hmm... I don't really want that thing but it might be useful." The mare thinks and takes a  sample.

Dark Hooves: Since it is safe, I guess I can give it a try. (grabs a sample and drinks it and his hoof starts glowing green) Now what? (he asks with cautious annoyance)

"It could come useful in future..." he thinks "I'd like one too" he said to the mysterious mare.

*cautiously looks around with his student following close behind* where are we?

((here is a little recap
After arriving in Equmbia everypony had to accept a batism in order to enter now we are with a young mare who is providing use with a useful item))

((lovely))

The Wanderer frowns, and uses Familiarity to learn of any side-effects of Vigor in general.  She learns of the biological damage that specific kinds of Vigor can cause to a pony's hoof, from gaping wounds and boils to burns and scars, for the duration of the Vigor's effects.  Fortunately, the Possession Vigor seems to be relatively harmless aside from the glow.

"Very well.  I will take a sample then, madame, if I may."

So Flame what do you think we can all do with this Vigor Star asked quietly

the mare gives the rest a sample well it's used to possess machines so we can so that

wonder what else oh well let's try this out Star looks around for a machine

Dark Hooves: I should save mine until we really need it. Who knows we might get in a sticky situation and this may help get out of it with our hides intact.

"save it it's active at all times you see Vigors are powered by the salts in your body when your body runs out of salts they stop working all you have to do is find a drink or food that has salt in it" the mare says the only machine nearby is the vending machine

"If that's so, I will drink this only when I don't have any other choice." The mare thinks.

"Well, here goes nothing" he drinks it and his hoof starts glowing green "Interesting"

Dark Hooves: I see.

"and if you aren't going to drink it now I'm going to have to ask it back for the other ponies X3 "

Dark Hooves: I've drank mine already.

The mare sighs and drinks the vigor.

((nice place, you are forced to use drugs :P))

the mare smiles and walks off

"So, now what?" he asks.

The Wanderer had used a minor illusion spell to cause the bottle to become invisible, and had instead kept it inside a pocket deep within her cloak, knowing its usefulness and not wanting to waste its potential or risk depleting her body of essential salts and minerals, at least not yet at any rate.

She continues to use Familiarity on her surroundings, and has a suspicion that she would be very wise to leave this ability on for the duration of her stay in this place.

((magic, useful, eh.))

Dark Hooves follows suit and activates his magic sense.

((Yes magic is useful.

so to keep this no salt huh? Star scratched his head

I think she meant it uses up the salts in our bodies so when we want to use it again we just have something with salts in it

Dark Hooves: (whispers to Flame) I'm sure glad I packed bags of pretzels.

Wanderer looks about.  "I wonder if it would be safe or not to eat the food around here..."

She used Familiarity to try discerning any potential dangers in the food, whether cancer-causing substances or poison or magical enchantments and hexes.

Dark Hooves: (whispering to Wanderer) I sense fluctuating mana, but I can't pinpoint it.

She switches on her Sense as well.  "I know for certain that those statues are giving out large portions of dark/evil/chaotic mana."

Dark Hooves: That's not good.

there is no danger in the foods at all except for the rotten foods for obvious reasons we should get moving again come on Flame starts walking again wanting to hurry up and find this pony before anything happens

"Yes, let's move on..." he said as he follows Flame

Star hops to get close and slows down to a walk so where would this pony be?

Dark Hooves: Alright. (starts walking while keeping his magic sense going)

The Wanderer continues to be on her guard, eyes and senses moving back and forth in case there is trouble of some sort.

"Well, at least there aren't any giant robot-pony amalgamations or evil giant robots with guns, or anarchists, so far," she mutters to Dark Hooves.

Dark Hooves: (whispers) Yes that would be very bad if we encountered any of those. I've got us covered where I have a half mile radius covered by my magic sense. You can take a break from using your magic if you want.

The group comes acroos an robotic pony attached to a gate "ticket please" Flame uses Possession on it "oh sir Flame please come right in and bring your friends" the gates open up and Flame walks through singing can be heard joyful singing

Star hops through following Flame this power is going to be fun :3

Dark Hooves follows.

Silent Shadow follows the group "This power is quite interesting, I wonder if there are more of these..."

Wanderer smiles at Dark Hooves, but shakes her head.  "Best we BOTH keep our senses up, so we can cover each other."

She casts her Sense in a larger radius, especially in the direction of the singing.

"What can you sense, Dark? she asks quietly."

Just don't abuse this power Flame says to the group they soon arrive at a grassy area with many ponies and a stage And let's begin the raffle A pony says on the stage "hey" a mare runs up to them with a basket sorry no sale "that's a good one sir the raffle is free" Flame grabs a ball marked #77

Star reaches in a grabs a ball too

"Hmm... Should I get a ball or not. I don't know what is this all about but if everypony else picks I might pick one too." The mare thinks and looks at the balls and the other ponies.

the baseballs are marked with a number obviously for a raffle number

Silent grabs a ball too.

Dark Hooves grabs one too.

The Wanderer takes a ball, always casting her Sense and Familiarity on her surroundings for knowledge of use and potential evil.

and the winner is...... number 77 Flame sighs and walks up to the stage the pony opens the stage allowing the group to see a young couple tied up well what are you waiting for Flame growls his aims the ball at the pony but his hoof is grabbed by an officer they see his eyepatch and remove it revealing his demon eye "that's a sign of the darkness which would make you the false Shepard" The officer grabs out a device with three hooks on it he presses a button and it starts spinning Flame levitates the ball and throws it at the officer knocking him out cold all the other ponies begin to run away in fear

 :I ahh I knew something would happen  Star jumped up to the stage Flame what happened

Dark Hooves gets on the stage and levitates the knocked out officer away from Flame.

Dark Hooves: You alright Flame?

Silent Shadow with a flapping of wings gets on the stage and looks around "What just happened?"

I'm fine well it's pointless to hide now  :l Flame says keeping his demon eye closed

Star noticed his eye-patch was gone He didn't he said shockingly well anyways lets get out of here before more show up and what about those he pointed at the couple

Dark Hooves: I sensed a change in your mana for a moment, what caused it?

"I think it's better to release them"  said Silent

Dark Hooves releases the levitation spell.

I go from passive mana to offensive mana that was that change Flame partially lies

Dark Hooves: (slightly skeptically) Ok.

hey we can talk about that later. We gotta go before more show up I don't want to fight Star said hurriedly 

Dark Hooves: Alright. (starts walking)

"He's right, we have attracted far too much attention, we should get away from that before it's too late" susgested Silent

The Wanderer stands by passively in the back, constantly using Sense and Familiarity to make herself blend in with the rest of the crowd.  She acts as though she had grown up in that environment, so Familiar was she with the social norms.  She understands the viewpoint of the citizens and how to appropriately react to the appearance of the False Shepherd in the midst of the city like this, running WITH the crowd rather than against it.

Her Sense enables her to Sense the evil that came out for a split second, and as the crowd disperses, she slips back to a comfortably safe distance so that she is able to hear the group of "troublemakers" while still remaining inconspicuous and looking like just another curious citizen who heard rumors of trouble at the lottery.

Flame moves his mane infront of his eye as he starts running

Dark Hooves starts running staying close to Flame.

Silent Shadow follows them paying attention to everything around him.

The Wanderer continues moving, alternately slipping into and out of the crowd, always making sure to use her Familiarity with social norms to seem completely at home with the world around her, as opposed to the rather conspicuous group running through the city like there were whips at their heels.  It's not difficult to follow the commotion; quite a few foals and curious bystanders, not to mention the guards everywhere, were doing likewise, trying to keep up with the "action" that was a welcome break from the boring mundane of everyday life up here.

"Now they got into trouble. I could run away and hide with the crowd like that pony but I was too near and too long to them. So, I think I should help and stay near to them. After all group can fight better than a single pony." The mare thinks and starts following the rest of the group.

demongo stay near flame

((hello i lose a lot. true ^^ can i join now. i am welcome flame?))

((bleyd  :l ))

Dark Hooves: (thinking) What's Flame's mana change mean?

Dark Hooves can see a flash of a very light purple on Flame's covered eye unlike his other one which is a dark purple

Dark Hooves: Are you sure you're are alright Flame? (looking at the glow of light pruple)

I'm fine don't worry (I have to get this eye covered or else we would stand out >:/ )

Dark Hooves: Alright.

Star followed the group keeping unusually quiet

As the Wanderer continues to blend into the crowd with her Familiarity, she also continuously casts Sense in all directions.  Now she starts to wonder whether Flame was giving off some sort of evil aura.

Flame is giving off a very strong dark aura he sees a group of cops ahead hm we are going to have to avoid them

"I can try to distract them, since I can move in the shadows without them noticing, I can get around them and lure them somewhere else while you hide" Silent suggested

"Thus sayeth the pot to the kettle..." mused the Wanderer to herself as she saw the dark aura flowing from Flame.

She continued following with the other curious bystanders, continuously using Familiarity.

Dark Hooves continues walking while keeping an eye on Flame.

just follow me Flame says he heads for an alleyway

Star follows Flame so what is the plan now hide?

no we sneak past them Flame says at the other end of the allyway there are two ponies twins one is holding a chalk board the other a plate and a coin heads or tails the male asks we don't have time for this Flame replys Heads or Tails the female asks

Dark Hooves follows.

Silent Shadow follows the group, wondering to himself.

The crowd starts going down different alleyways, with one group claiming they went one way, another group claiming they went another.

The crowd began dispersing in various directions in an attempt to follow the commotion, as did the police.

In the chaos, Wanderer scarcely even needed to act at all, nonchalantly following the flow and managing to deposit herself in the right alleyway.  She used Familiarity to keep her distance and her "normal" appearance, but used Sense to see whether these newcomers gave off an evil aura or not.

the two ponies seem to give off no aura as if they aren't there are you going to choose the stallion tosses the coin to Flame Heads he throws the coin into the air and it lands on heads told you the stallion smirks the mare grumbles and puts another tally mark on heads they step aside letting them leave

Dark Hooves follows.

"What was that? And why did they need us to toss the coin?" The mare thinks and follows the group.

Moving about in a manner so as to seem inconspicuous and also to avoid the pair while following the group, the Wanderer continues using Familiarity and goes about the building to reach the other street by the fastest route that locals would know and use.  A few young colts seemed to have had the same thought as well, and it was a simple task of copying each others' movements to get to the other side and stay far enough back to still be a curious bystander.

Hm I wonder who those two were FLame thinks aloud

Dark Hooves keeps up with Flame.

Star looked at the two ponies as he walked by them then turned to Flame We can worry about that later

Silent follows Flame and keeps a watchful eye everywhere.

The Wanderer, following the few curious that were nimble or courageous enough to make their way over the detour, continues to stand/walk several hundred feet away, looking for all the world like another bystander in town.  Her Familiarity tells her whether she is in a good or bad neighborhood, what dangers are known to the locals, and where exactly the locals would think the group was going in her place.  Her Sense allows her to continue feeling for evil auras, and more easily track Flame (since he is still giving off his shadow aura).

// sorry
yeah I guess your right Flame says "there they are" a voice yells out Flame turns around to see a group of officers running towards them Flame summons his keyblade

Dark Hooves unsheathes his sword.

The mare walks a bit away from the others. "Walking away won't work anymore but I'm useless in the frontline." She thinks.

Silent Shadow unsheathes the dagger, ready to fight.

The Wanderer stands back with the bystanders (now frightened yet exhilarated bystanders), continuing to use Familiarity to seem just another citizen drawn to watch the commotion of a fight on an otherwise boring day.

She uses Sense to see if there is any evil presence, and hopes that any violence will be as brief as possible.

Star turns towards the officers and pulls out his hammer with his magic ready to fight

Dark Hooves starts to growl focusing on what he learned about using his sword.

THe officers run at them one of them tries to tackle Star

Star hits the the officer with his hammer

He lies on his back and kicks the officer over him and kips up.

The Wanderer stays in the back of the growing crowd of procrastinators and lowlifes looking for entertainment.  She won't need to be close, now that everypony and their mare is Familiar with the fight going on.

"I don't like fighting and I hope I don't have to fight." The mare thinks while watching the officers and the others.

Flame slashes at an officer the officer attacked fall to the ground unconscious one of them runs at Eagle Eye

Dark Hooves: Nigred Glacaga. (he traps the attacking officer in ice)

((Okay, I start using her name now. X3))

Eagle Eye jumps backwards. "These really want to fight." She thinks and takes her crossbow that was hidden under her cloak and starts to aim at the officer attacking her. "Please, don't make me shoot..." She thinks.

The team seemed to be holding their own at the moment, though the Wanderer's Familiarity with how things were run here told her that reinforcements would likely already be on their way.  But there were more than a few of the "curious bystanders" here that seemed to be part of a resistance movement...

the officer doesn't stop not believing Eagle  Flame starts running off not wanting to fight come on let's go

Dark Hooves puts away his sword and runs following Flame.

Silent Shadow prefered to fight with the officer instead of running away but recalling what Flame said earlier about not to draw attention he shout himself and just follows Flame.

Star runs behind Flame not wanting to be left behind

Eagle Eye hits the officer with her crosbow and puts the crossbow back on her back.. "I'm  so sorry but I had to slow you down a bit..." She thinks and starts to follow Flame.

The Wanderer smiles as a (relatively) peaceful solution is found, then simply goes with the flow as the crowd of bystanders rushes to keep up with the action.

Dark Hooves: (still running) Are we safe now?

the group soon come across a map Flame picks it up yeah we are safe and we will need this for later

He stops and sits trying to catch his breath.

Flame looks over the map reading over every detail of it

Eagle Eye looks around a bit restlessly.

Silent Shadow stops and keeps an eye on the surroundings.

He catches his breath and looks around using is magic sense to check for anymore danger.

Star catches up and sits down catching his breath

The Wanderer nonchalantly walks to a nearby corner, where her voice can be heard, while still looking unconnected.

"Nice job there."

what do you mean by that o.O

"Escaping the crowd, getting yourself out of a potentially violent situation with minimal collateral damage."

The figure chuckles to herself.  "A better quality and character than what some others might have expected from a bearer of Darkness."

hm so you know well I didn't ask for this dark power if you must know I was possessed by a dark being long ago he still lingers inside me protected by this seal Flame flips his mane out of the way revealing his demon eye

The Wanderer smiled.  "I know many things, Flame.  I have been many things, wandered many worlds, times, places, possibilities.  I have met you more times than you can comprehend, more possibilities than can be counted.  In some, the world had fallen, and in others the world was just beginning.  But in most the story is the same as it has always been.  But this world..."

She Looked at the buildings and the citizens, sighing sadly.  "Too many dark endings.  But perhaps it shall be different... this time."

maybe hm it appears we are heading to Monument island well it should be easier to find the way now we should get moving Flame says heading off there should be a plane nearby that we can use to get to the island

Dark Hooves: Alright, let's get going then.

The Wanderer raised an eyebrow.  "Would it not be more expedient simply to teleport there en masse?"

oh yes that's right I forgot  X3 Flame's horn glows he teleports the group to the outer area of monument island this is as far as I can go the inner area is protected by a magical force blocking all magic usage

Dark Hooves: I can't sense anything in there either. Ponyfeathers!

The Wanderer smiled and nodded her thanks to the stallion as she turns to look at the rest of the island.  She squints as she uses Sense to detect any darkness on the location, and Familiarity to see what the locals and workers here, and the maker of the island, used it for.

"These ponies are really weird... But I can't leave without them and they might need my help." Eagle Eye thinks and looks around.

it appears there is only one pony inside nopony else the monument was built to house whoever is inside well we should get inside before any others arrive Flame starts walking towards the monument

Dark Hooves follows.

The Wanderer nods gravely.  "Who is that pony, Flame?  The monument was built to house them.  Why are we meeting them?"

hm let me see Flame picks up the map and reads over it the lamb of Equmbia that's all it says

"The Lamb?" frowned the Wanderer, using Familiarity to see what the locals believed about this 'lamb'.  She also used Sense to see whether there was evil upon this island, and whether the 'lamb' was dangerous or evil.

the lamb appears to be a young filly who is the daughter of Clopstock while he is evil and very dangerous it appears the lamb is quite the opposite

"The daughter of Clopstock, hmm?  Interesting.  Are you certain that it is a good idea to enter this monument?  I hope that her father won't be appearing at an inopportune moment.  Dangerous stallion."

I think it's more like a fairy tale type thing lock your daughter up in a tower or whatever Flame says opening the doors to the monument he holds it open for the others

Star listened in about the 'Lamb' and followed. He thought to himself

The Wanderer looked uncertainly at the doors, Sensing as much as she could about the dangers within and Familiarizing herself with all the passages known to the inhabitant within and to the builder of the monument.

When she had learned all there was to know, she stepped inside...

Dark Hooves follows.

//oh I feel like an idiot I was waiting for you guys to respond
when they enter the monument they see a map with a beeping light on the second floor

Silent Shadow had followed them and enters in the monument and noticed the map "What does that light means?" he asked to Flame.

Quote from: Weremetalwolf on 2013 Jun 13, 17:20:44
Silent Shadow had followed them and enters in the monument and noticed the map "What does that light means?" he asked to Flame.

"Let me see..." whispered Wanderer as she perused what she had learned through Familiarity earlier.

The light shows where the lamb is currently it appears she is in the rec room hm the light is blinking in the Rec room come on Flame starts walking away he comes across a rather large key he picks it up before moving on again

Dark Hooves follows keeping an eye out for danger.

Silent Shadow follows Flame too looking around to spot any danger. He didn't know much of this place and after the events that has occurred he needed to be even more cautious then his usual.

"I don"t like this place." Eagle Eye thinks and follows them.

"And it is certain this place is not evil?" asked Wanderer, recalling her previous use of Sense outside the building.

When the others arrive at the area of the light there is a window and observation window the group can see a young mare fixing her mane looking Into the window it appears to be one way so she can't see the group she runs off when she finishes

Dark Hooves: Is this the young pony mentioned before?

yes I believe it is her it appears these ponies are observing her

"What should we do? Do you have a plan?" Silent asks Flame

"Why would these ponies be observing her?" asked the Wanderer, remembering her previous use of Familiarity with the place.

//well I'm back from a little trip sorry about that
the mare appears to have some kind of strange power that is why they are observing her not yet Flame says walking off
//that is as far as I am going as of now with the mare's des

"She has a strange power?" wondered the Wanderer aloud to the group.  "The ponies here should be Familiar with what that power is."

I think all of the ponies left or are at least hiding Flame says heading up a set of stairs

"...hiding from what?" asked the Wanderer, recalling her use of Familiarity from earlier.

probably us Flame steps onto a catwalk under neath is another piece of one way glass one of the wires seem lose on the cat walk

The Wanderer winced as the stallion stepped forward heedlessly.  "So much for looking before leaping," she sighed.

Dark Hooves starts flying nearby Flame in case he slips off the catwalk.

the mare runs into the room below them which is a library she heads up some stairs to another part of the library this part has a balcony looking over the rest of the library


As Flame walks across the catwalk the wire breaks causing him to fall he breaks through the glass and grabs the ledge of the balcony the mare turns around and throws a book at him which causes him to fall

DH flies after Flame and catches him.

The Wanderer simply sighs and facehoofs.  Her earlier use of Familiarity already showed her the potential dangers in here, as well as areas that would be crowded, and the emergency procedures, so it wasn't at all difficult to make her way along the less traveled passages to get to the library.  Avoiding the ponies that were surely rushing to the scene was also rather easy, seeing as that they had rather strict protocols here.

"Well, that's one way to get down..." Eagle Eye thinks and shakes her head.

Before she made her way down the steps, she turned and looked at Eagle Eye.  "Care to join me?  I think this would be a safer, faster and less crowded route," she whispered blandly.

"Sure." Eagle Eye says and follows The Wanderer.

hey I'm not here to hurt you what are you doing here Flame asks I was locked up here since I was born one of those sterotypical princess in a town thing the mare says a loud alarm starts going off the glass closes up and is blocked by a metal plate you have to get out of here now she says  Flame takes out the key he got at the entrance there is a door nearby do you want out of here miss Flame asks the mare she nods Flame gets up and runs to the door he unlocks it come on you two Flame says to the mare and Dark

((you know what i totally forgot about this RP so um can i get a little help here  X3 ))

//we arrived at monument island Flame fell off a catwalk and through some glass now an alarm is going off and we have to get out of the monument

The Wanderer nodded at Eagle Eye, then sighed as the alarms went off.

"According to my Familiarity scan earlier, the guards run down corridors to the left and right, then begin fanning out in search of intruders.  We should be able to get out pretty quickly and unseen by going through that door over there."

She pointed and began walking leisurely.

"I'm Familiar with some of the pass-phrases here.  I think the others can keep themselves safe.  I just wish they weren't so... clumsy, sometimes."

((ok so yada yada yada I caught up bla bla lol so yeah))
Star followed behind Eagle and Wanderer well this won't end well

((Argh, I forgot about this))

Silent followed the group "Keep your guard up" he said.

//there is only one guard and... let's just say he isn't like normal ponies... or a pony at all
a screech of a bird can be heard however it is distant and a lot louder almost as a giant bird

Silent heard the screech "It sounded like a bird... we have to be quick and get out of here" he said.

yeah it sounds big so let get going while the going is good star said trying to hurry them on

Eagle Eye stays quiet and listens. "That didn't sound like any creature I've heard before..." She thinks and keeps on following The Wanderer.

"Robotic, as a matter of fact," explained Wanderer as she walked calmly down the most unused of all the corridors, shielded from scans and other such annoyances.  "Somewhat obsessive about the mare.  Personally, I view it as an abusive relationship, but her father is the true villain of the piece.  The place was built as a prison for her.  She's the Lamb, claimed to lead the place to future glory.  The Songbird is her protector, and is supposed to feel betrayal at her escape.  Fortunately, I am Familiar enough with all this to be able to act in a manner that would make us effectively undetectable to it.  Follow my lead."

Leaving via an old passage that had been nearly forgotten, and also the passage least accessible and visible to the Songbird, the Wanderer leads her followers away from the scene, towards an area from which they can teleport back to the city proper without being detected.

"I hope at least one of you can teleport or fly very quickly," she said mildly as she descended the stairs.  "Otherwise we'll have to try using the cable network, and that will be quite... dangerous."

Thus speaking, she casually yanked a few usable hooks from a wall and tossed them to the others.

"Should that become necessary, don't jump until I tell you, and do exactly as I do as much as possible.  We do not want to be falling a few miles onto sharp rocks.  Or falling much at all, as a matter of fact, though a bit of falling will be necessary should all other options be exhausted."

Hey I could teleport us there Star offered as he followed wanderer

DH: I don't know what that is, but I don't want to stick around and find out.

The Wanderer smiled at Star.  "Ah, thanks, that would make things much easier.  We should be getting to a spot... now."

They found themselves at a secluded spot, with an opening and a direct line of sight from where they were standing back to an empty sector of the city proper.

"I think now would be a good time to teleport, before the Songbird or some other aggressor appears," quipped the mare.

as Flame the filly and Dark make it through the door the wall crashes in a giant mechanical bird is looking around the room it's has glowing yellow eyes it sees the three trying to escape it let's out a screech and flies out of the room

ok lets go  Star's horn glows bright and he teleports everypony to the destinated area

As Silent was teleported with the others into the destinated area, he started to wonder about the strange creature he just saw "It was some sort of mechanical creature that was supposed to resemble some sort of bird. What was its purpose? Maybe protect that filly?" Silent asked to nopony in particular.

DH:What in blue blazes is that?!

"Indeed," affirmed the Wanderer, looking at Silent as she motioned for the others to hurry to another secluded section in the city proper.  "The Songbird is a large mechanical structure that is extremely intelligent, meant to protect the filly and to keep her from escaping.  It is programmed to feel betrayal if she should escape, and no small degree of obsessiveness.  One might think of it as an abusive pet owner of sorts.  With the filly as the pet."

Out of sight of the prison, Wanderer again uses her Familiarity and Sense to the fullest extent possible.  If any danger should approach, she would know well ahead of time.

Eagle Eye stays quiet and follows the others.

it's the songbird he's my guardian but more about that later let's just keep going the mare says a claw smashes through a wall a yellow eye looks through and sees the group before smashing into the wall causing the top of the tower to start to crumble

((May I kindly ask how may I jump in from this point?))
Light finds the lighthouse, then saying to himself "Why am I here? I've heard stories of this lighthouse bring you to a wonderous place... That's why..."

DH follows the filly.

((one wild bleyd appear, flame is too late for rejoin?  :D))

It appears that the ship had landed back in the lighthouse a little while ago waiting for it's next passenger

The floor below them crumples sending them falling a piece of the monument hits DH in the back making his wings useless

//I guess I can let you in but break the rules and I will ban you

Meanwhile, Wanderer and the ponies who followed her found a nondescript location from which to watch the commotion.  It wasn't difficult at all to find such a location, actually, given the large crowds of curious bystanders already gathering on the sky-piers trying to get a glimpse of the destruction of the monument they all were familiar with in some way or another.  Wanderer herself merely looked on grimly, sighing inwardly as she continued using her Familiarity and Sense to make sure to keep a low profile.

DH: (winces at the hit) Ugh! My back. (his wings stop moving) Oh no, we are going down. (starts falling)

((ok flame i dont like this because if you go to look all . for try ban me i dont play have a good day.  :I ))

guys dont make me or the other mods get involved
if you dont have anything nice, just ignore whoever and move on
this is my only warning....

Flame and Dark Hooves seem to pass out when they wake up they would be on a beach the filly is sitting by there bodies

Dark Hooves comes to and looks around quickly seeing that they are on a beach.

DH: Where are we? (he touches his injured wing) Ow! Well any flying I do will be with my magic until my wing heals. (he pulls medical supplies from his saddlebag which the bag had managed to stay closed) I could use some help please.

Star followed Wanderer and lets out a sigh

Silent Shadow continued to follow Wanderer as well, he was asking to himself what they needed that filly for and hoping that she was alright.

The Wanderer frowned as she motioned for the others to sit at a nondescript corner of a hidden, unused area of the pier, far enough away that they wouldn't be suspected of anything but with a good view.

"Well.  Thank you for that teleport, it probably saved us quite a bit of trouble."

She looked over at the giant fight going on.

"And pain."

no problem it was the least I can do Star said taking the Thanks

Flame gets up and looks around eh where are we Flame asks artificial beach the filly says walking over to DH what do you need help with

Quote from: super_chris85 on 2013 Jul 30, 15:16:17

Wanderer smiled, then looked back as the fight wound down.  "Seems they've escaped?" she asked herself quietly.  "Not quite sure what happened there."

a few guards walk by the group leaving an opening to a small building to hide in

DH: I need my wing bandaged and set against my body so it can heal properly.

Well we should meet up with the others Star told Wanderer we can see what we need to do

the filly nods and bandages up Dark Hooves' wing we should get moving to find the others Flame says getting up the filly nods and starts up after she finishes helping DH

DH: Well that does feel better, thank you. Yes we should find the others.

Quote from: super_chris85 on 2013 Aug 04, 10:46:01
Well we should meet up with the others Star told Wanderer we can see what we need to do

"If we can find them," the Wanderer notes.  "do you know where they might be?  or how to contact them, maybe telepathically?"

ahh good Idea let me try to contact Flame Star nodded his horn glowing hello Flame? can you here me

Flame and the filly start to head off the beach Flame's horn glows (yes Star where are you guys

we are at the pier what about you are you guys fine Star asked walking around the group

DH: (noticing Flame's spell) That's neat, I think I can learn that one easily.

(um artificial beach I'm not too sure what it's called though) yeah it's telepathy Flame says soon the three come across two ponies holding a box with two necklaces in it a bird and a cage free one for the filly the male asks pick one and it's yours the female says


one of the guards walks close to the group almost noticing them

//necklaces? anything special about them?

DH: My wife loves necklaces. (thinks about Angel's Breath)

The Wanderer's Familiarity, amplified by the presence of so many civilians, allows her to simply blend herself and those with her into the faceless masses of nondescript ponies already at the pier.

sorry only one for the girl here so what's your choice the male says yes terribly sorry now pick you choice the filly looks at the necklaces and picks the bird one looks nice good choice the female says yesyes good choice indeed

Star lets out a sigh of relief thanks Wanderer

"No problem," smiles the mare cautiously as the group escapes notice.  "Although my Familiarity tells me that there are more nondescript spots available around here, points of 'least attention', as it were.  We might go to one of them while we try to locate the other group."

Star nodded I agree the less attention the better. Where to first?

The Wanderer concentrates, then shrugs.  "Your choice.  My Familiarity and Sense tells me there's no impending danger of staying where we are, for the moment, but in five minutes and thirty seconds another patrol will be coming around."

well lets get going then we don't want to get caught do we Star replied starting to walk just name some of those places and I'll choose one

"All right then," smiled the Wanderer.  "That balcony, over there, that tower, the park in the corner of that street, and the upper balcony of the museum."

She pointed at the respective locations.

"The balconies are the least likely to have any patrol for the next few hours."

alright lets head over to the museum  Star said I suggest we separate to avoid gathering attention

Wanderer closed her eyes for a moment, feeling out the crowd.  "All right then.  You can get to the museum three different ways.  Straight to that lamp, up those stairs, around the tree, over a short fence, through an alley, up another flight of stairs, and over a low wall.  Or, behind that statue, up a ladder, across three roofs, onto a plaza, along one wall, then across an old fallen pillar.  Third route will be hard, so I'm taking it.  Sound good?"

ok then I'll the first path see you there Star nodded walking the path the Wanderer explained

The lamp was easy enough to reach, and the stairs were empty; they provided a poor view, and weren't much used at all anyways.  The tree in the small garden area added a bit of greenery to the otherwise dull area.  Thankfully, there were no birds or crazed maniacs around.

The Wanderer, meanwhile, had disappeared into an alley, using the Familiarity of some mischievous teens to make her way across some makeshift ladders and walkways to get to the rooftops.

DH: My wife loves necklaces, although she has always been fond of dolphins. (he says to the filly)

Star followed the path eventually reaching the destination

the two ponies had disappearsed um okay let's.... get going Flame says walking away the filly follows


there were many guards outside the museum patrolling the area

With a hop, skip and a jump, Wanderer bounced from rooftop to rooftop, timing her movements with a local guardpony's Familiarity of the beats.  She concentrated hard as she approached the museum, Sensing an increased presence of guards, but thankfully was able to use a little foal's Familiarity with scampering in and out of the upper stories unseen in order to make her way to a secluded and out-of-view corner of the building's exterior.  Apparently one of the anarchists nearby had some Familiarity with climbing walls, and the Wanderer wasted no time using this to make her way to the balcony, which was still unsupervised.  Hopefully one of the curators nearby was Familiar with today's schedule of guards.

DH: So where are we going? (he asks the filly)

While ponies are guarding the outside of the museum the inside in completly void of any ponies some of the lights are broken and there is a message written above them on the banner "nothing but tin ponies" it reads

well first we need to meet up with the others I suppose the museum is a good idea there is an airship there too so I guess we are heading there

The Wanderer appeared next to Star, relieved nopony had seen them.  She frowned suddenly as she concentrated deeply, Familiarizing herself with the contents of the museum and Sensing danger.

"...We should be fine here, for the moment, but although we are not watched, this may not be the safest spot after all," she says quietly.

DH: Alright, well I better keep my guard up just in case.

Star sighs so something happens we will deal with ok he assured her if anything bad comes I'll get us out in an instant

There are three pathways to go down one with a moon one with the elements of Harmony and one with the word Chaos on it

Flame, the filly, and Dark soon come to the museum of course still being guarded by ponies great now what the filly asks Flame summons his keyblade we fight

Dark Hooves unsheathes his sword and charges at the guards.

The Wanderer smiled.  "Thanks, Star.  I just hope it doesn't come to that.  I'll do my best to keep us out of trouble, but I'm glad to have you by my side."

no problem Star nodded and smiled so can you sense flame?

Quote from: super_chris85 on 2013 Aug 31, 01:04:14

The Wanderer concentrated her Familiarity.  "Yes... she's looking for a way past the guarded entrance... what's with the tin ponies?  Oh... oh dear..."

She looked at Star.  "Flame's going to try to fight her way past the guards with Dark, starting... now.  And I REALLY don't like what I'm sensing from those tin pony 'statues', if the guards' Familiarity with them and my Sense is correct..."

then we need to get down there now Star said starting to rush towards the entrance

"No wait!" Wanderer whispered fiercely, then sighed as she began to Sense a change in the number of hostile forces around.  "oh, this is gonna hurt..."

why? Star stopped turning around

A wave of strange energy passes over the ponies *magic deactivated*

Flame rushes at the guard slashing them with his keyblade knocking a few out making his way towards the entrance

A voice echoes through the museum well well what do we have here a few Tin Ponies huh to weak to fight? Heh heh your just like the rest it sounds like a old stallion the door with a moon lights up

// did the energy wave disable magic?

Dark Hooves is too busy with the guard to notice the wave of energy.

Wanderer dropped to her hind knees and covered her face slightly as Its equine Aspect vibrated slightly with the loss of magic.  "D-don't go downstairs," said the strangely hermaphrodite voice.  "And please don't freak out if my body and voice start changing slightly.  It's taking... more concentration than usual to keep myself together in this state.  Oh, and DON'T go downstairs."

For a moment, black tentacles almost seemed to take the place of Its mouth and eyes as the Wandering Magus's True Form began to push upon Its self-imposed limits, but with a grunt and some willpower, the outward shape stabilized along with the voice.

"t-there.  I think that fixed it.  I should be stable, for now.  c-can we rest for a moment, please?"

Star rushed back to help her what was that? he asked worried about her

The mare collapsed into Star's forehooves.  "I-I'm fine, I think.. I just need to rest a bit... it was... a-antimagic... magic cancellation... nearly broke my contact... I-I.... I'm not... a normal... a normal pony, Star..."

She looked ashamed of herself, hiding her face.  "p-please don't be mad with me..."

you really think I'm mad at you because you hid something like this from others Star looked at Wanderer I don't care about you dark secrets you are still my friend no matter what

Quote from: super_chris85 on 2013 Sep 01, 01:29:46

The Wanderer blushed and smiled.  "t-thanks, really.  That means a lot to me."

She stood up shakily, hearing the commotion downstairs.  "I... I can't do much of anything now, I mean, despite having used Familiarity earlier... I'm using a lot of concentration to stay on this plane, and in this shape.  But I do know this: the tin ponies in this museum are automaton killing machines.  We can't go near them without magic or some sort of weapon... and I REALLY don't want to start fighting in this state."

Flame manages to make it to the front entrance and enters


it's better to continue then to give up now I haven't had much time to test you to see if you are a tin pony or a soldier

well you stay up here I'll go down and help Star nodded walking over and looking down at the entrance wish me luck he said waving and jumping down

Quote from: super_chris85 on 2013 Sep 02, 00:59:07

The Wanderer winced, but nodded.  "Try not to let yourself be seen!  ...you'll need all the luck you can get..."

Flame sits down next to the entrance the filly next to him waiting for Dark Hooves

Dark Hooves manages to knock out the guard and rushes to catch up to Flame.

Star landed on the ground keeping to behind any objects he could find as he made his way to Flame

As Darkhooves gets in Flame pushes a rather large statue of Nightmare Moon against the door blocking it

The Wanderer crawled painfully to her hooves, stumbling to a secluded part of the balcony based on her previous uses of Familiarity, still somewhat fresh in her mind.  With Star gone, she/he/It allowed Itself a moment of respite, becoming a pulsating mass of indescribable colors as It used Its inequine nature to hear, smell, taste and otherwise sense things a normal equine body would be unable to sense.  While no substitute for magic, physical senses were close enough to allow It to make out the general spread of guards and hostile forces in the vicinity.

With a sound that could perhaps be described by the highly imaginative (or highly insane) as a mix between a grunt and a sigh, the shimmering, pulsating mass re-formed itself into its original equine shape, again clutching her hooves to her temples in slight pain.  It was rather difficult to keep up this act of ponyality without the aid of the supernatural, considering that this was only the delicate tip of one of Its many, many limbs stretching through all of the infinite worlds of the Tree, but somehow she managed despite the pain.

DH: I had no idea you possessed such strength Flame.

Star had made it to the lobby with Flame and DH hey are you two alright?

DH: Oh hey Star, yeah I'm just fine. How many made it here do you think?

none as far as I am aware when did you get here and where are the others? Flame asks

Wanderer was upstairs on the balcony she is the one who said to watch out for the statues which is why I came down to warn you

DH: What statues?

like the one I just pushed infront of the door Flame asks pointing to the stone statue blocking the door


well having some trouble keeping your form a male voice asks from behind the wanderer well it would appear it is a female voice says

I don't know it might be star shrugged keeping his guard up

Quote from: FlameandIce on 2013 Sep 15, 14:33:50well having some trouble keeping your form a male voice asks from behind the wanderer well it would appear it is a female voice says

The Wanderer froze, then snorted, unfolding again and again into something that could generously be described as a madmare's worst nightmare pumped full of tonic and seen through a glass darkly.  Infinite eyes peered from infinite mouths with infinite teeth as infinite arms, claws, tentacles and hooves flickered and alternately appeared or disappeared from this reality.

"WELL THEN, I DON'T SUPPOSE THERE'S ANY POINT IN HIDING MY TRUE FORM ANYMORE, AT LEAST NOT TO YOU TWO.  LONG TIME NO SEE."

indeed it has how have you been doing the male asks yes how are you adventure going the female asks

Quote from: FlameandIce on 2013 Sep 16, 00:26:35

It seemed to shrug, if such an action could be properly attributed to such a being.  "THE INFINITE WORLDS ALWAYS HOLD SOME MANNER OF ENTERTAINMENT FOR A SHADOW WHO PLAYS.  THE FEW WORLDS WHERE WE HOLD POWER CAN OCCASIONALLY BE A PAIN AND A HASSLE, ESPECIALLY WHEN THE MORTALS GO AND TRY TAKING OVER.  THIS WORLD?  INTERESTING ENOUGH, BUT THE SHADOW WHO LEADS COULD PUT IN A BIT MORE DESCRIPTION.  AT LEAST TIME HERE MOVES AT A REASONABLE PACE COMPARED WITH THAT OF THE WORLD WHERE THE MAJORITY OF OUR CONSCIOUSNESS LIES.  ALAS THAT EVEN ONE SUCH AS OURSELVES CAN ONLY PUT A LIMITED AMOUNT OF ATTENTION TO EACH INDIVIDUAL WORLD.  AND YOURSELVES, HOW HAVE YOU FARED?"

we have been good isn't that right sister the male asks indeed we have the female says


y-yeah we should go check on Wanderer is he or she with you

I told her to stay on the balcony come on I take y'all there Star replied running back the way he came

Quote from: FlameandIce on 2013 Sep 19, 21:17:05

The Wanderer nods, looking out over this tiny, limited four-dimensional plane, this little city of little mortals, a speck on a continent on a planet in a solar system in a galaxy in a universe on a single leaf of a branch of the Worldtree of Possibilities.  "SO FRAGILE.  SO DELICATE.  YET... SO PRECIOUS, EACH LIFE.  EACH SOUL, EACH MIND, EACH UNIQUE CONSCIOUS EXPERIENCE.  INEXPLICABLE, UNPREDICTABLE.  AH WHAT FOOLS SUCH MORTALS BE.  CROWNING THEMSELVES GODS, THINKING THEMSELVES KINGS OF VAST REALMS, WHEN IN REALITY THEY ARE KING OF NO MORE THAN AN INFINITESIMALLY TINY BLUE DOT IN A VAST, UNENDING COSMOS THAT ITSELF IS BUT A SPECK.  YET SUCH IS THE WONDER OF MORTALS, CONTAINING SUCH... POTENTIAL."

It used Its eldritch sensory organs to detect the flow of quantum waveforms through four-space, and seemed to smirk.  "WELL, IT SEEMS MY FRIENDS ARE RETURNING.  THE TWO OF YOU MAY WISH TO VANISH FROM SIGHT AS I RETURN TO A FORM MORE... COMFORTABLE TO MORTALS, HMM?"

With an effort, it seemed to "pop" back into an equine shape, the same, vulnerable-looking mare she was before.

The two smirk as they walk off vanishing not too soon after the voice starts talking again hm maybe you aren't as much of a tin pony as I thought well this should be interesting

The mare chuckled to herself.  "Perhaps, perhaps.  But I wonder who exactly is the tin pony here, and who is the pony.  Who is the toy, and who is the master?  Who is the doll reciting its lines, and who is the player for whom the world is made?  All the world's a stage, and all its colts and fillies merely players..."

Star finally got back up to wanderer she is over here He heard her talking before he got there but didn't make out anything she had said hey I'm back who were you talking to?

She turned and smiled.  "Ah, welcome back, Star.  I was just talking to myself, no worries.  I see you found the others!  So far, at least, it seems we're improving, slightly.  But Star, we have to leave this place soon.  I can't be sure how long we have before the tin ponies are sent in, and I'm not keen on sticking around in an anti-magic field to find out.  Can we make it to another hiding spot?"

Flame catches up with the others So I think there is something good we can get here it's a vigor called Shock Jocky that we can use to get to Clopstock he explains to the group

Star chuckled Shock Jolly? that sounds like my kinda vigor he went over to Waderer how are ya Feeling?

Quote from: super_chris85 on 2013 Sep 21, 15:11:15

The Wanderer shook her head.  "Better than before, but we need to move soon.  ad do you have any IDEA what those vigours do to your health But we are in danger.  I don't fancy getting in a fight with tin ponies, not at the moment, and not in this anti-magic field."

anyways we should get moving if you want to get out soon Flame says walking towards the Nightmare Moon exhibit

Quote from: FlameandIce on 2013 Sep 23, 18:58:18

"not in there!" she hissed, but it was too late.  The Wanderer facehoofed, and looked pleadingly at Star.  "Please, we have to leave.  We can't go in there.  First we'll be seen, then we'll be shot at, then there won't be avoiding a massive, petty, easily avoidable fight.  I don't know about you, but I would rather be in a safe spot a few blocks from here when that happens."

She galloped as far from the building as she could without allowing herself to be seen, using whatever information was left of her Familiarity, hoping to get away from this confounded anti-magic field.

wait! Wanderer! Star chases after her trying not to be seen either

The museum seems to be giving off an anti-magic field over the majority of Equmbia and the field seems to be coming from a genarator deep within the museum

"Banish it," the Wanderer cursed under her breath, turning slightly non-equine as Its form grew extra limbs and sensory organs that didn't exist on this plane.  Its inequine flesh shimmered slightly before turning invisible, light rays coming in one side going out the other side like a chameleon.  Gecko-like pads of flesh made contact with a wall, holding up the inexplicably light Aspect as Its eyeless, mollusk-like face "tasted" the magic in the air.  A primate's leap and bat's flap later, It was moving at a cheetah's pace across rooftops.

"I HATE Shadows Who Lead that try railroading techniques," It muttered.

Star's eyes went wide teleporting to keep up with her

"ERROR! ERROR! ERROR!"

"NO! Whats wrong with the system!"

"I don't know!"

"GET AWAY FROM THE WINDOWS! ITS GONNA BLOW!"

He wasn't afraid of death. If he was, he would not have taken the job years ago. There was a bright flash, and he was thrown to the ground, yet not the test chamber floor.

"Error! Major system failures detected! Basic functions: Online. Basic enhancers: Online. Advanced functions: Offline. Advanced enhancers: Offline. Cloaking systems: Damaged."

The P.S.S ran its diagnostics tests. Most systems were down, but not all. Damaged cloaking systems was not a good sign. They were operational, but could malfunction at any time during use. Silent checked for his batons, which were thankfully still on his back. He tested their electrical pulses, and both responded normally. He then checked his Taser beam. It was also damaged, but still functional. The charge delay was great, but at least he could still use it.

"............"

He then checked his surroundings.

((Tell me if I landed on the ground, or the flying city.))

Silent finds himself nearby the partially destroyed Alicorn statue that had once held the Lamb

Silent looks at the ruined statue. It was strange, for he had never seen anything like it before. It was strangely quiet. He thought about trying to find a elevated spot to get a better view of his surroundings. Silent did a diagnostics test for his jump boosters.

"Boosters: Online Air boosters: Offline Turbo boosters: Offline"

He was glad that his regular boosters were operational, and proceeded to run in a random direction, hopping to find something tall. He decided it would be best to move quietly, just in case, and activated his cloaking device. It worked, for the most part. Every now and again, a spark would discharge at random, and the area it affected caused the ions to glow, giving him away, but he just kept on running.

Some of the soldiers look at him weird but don't chase after him soonSilent comes across the Museum where almost everypony is in

Silent skidded to a stop upon noticing other people. The cloaking device stopped malfunctioning, for now. He hoped it would stay like that for the time being. He just got to high ground, and observed the others, judging wether they may be friendly, or hostile.
