Kieri stood stoically for a moment, letting her words sink in to her soon to be former companions. Words like 'weak', 'stupid', and other such childish insults probably wouldn't phase most people, and they probably didn't phase Rhea. But Buwaro...

Kieri didn't break eye contact with him for a while. She needed to make Buwaro think she meant every word of what she just said-how he was stupid, how she hated the 'Snowy' nickname he'd given her, how he was weak...She didn't mean a word of it of course. It tore her apart within just to say those things. However, if she didn't say them, he'd get Rhea to follow her for sure.

Kieri had to make sure she wouldn't be followed. Not if she wanted them to live.

After what seemed like eternity, both the angel and the demon turned their backs on each other, Kieri flexing her wings to take off. Tears stung at her eyes, threatening to ruin the lie she had created for herself. 'Later,' she thought as she rose 'when they can't see...' Time seemed to slow as Kieri drifted off into the sky...

Only for it to come speeding back with a vengeance as she fell face first on the ground.

Kieri remained still for a moment, face down, her pale face now a dark shade of scarlet. It had been a long time since one of her flights had been compromised, and it had picked a terrible time for it to happen again for old time's sake. 'Just turn around,' she thought to herself 'give them a glare, save face. Dry those tears...' She thought as she sat up, wiping her face on one of her long sleeves. That's when she noticed something amiss.

First of all, it was cold. Bitterly cold. This was wrong for several reasons-first of all, it was supposed to be the start of spring. While colder weather could be left over from winter during this time, in no way was it supposed to be to this extent. Secondly, and this was more important to Kieri, to her back was supposed to be St. Curtis, a city that had just earlier that day been set ablaze, ruining what had once been a marvel to cooperation between species. She even still had the sweat from her face, now mixed with tears, from the once great city's intense inferno.

So why in the name of Gaia was it cold?!

'Dare I open my eyes?' Kieri thought, doing so slowly. She was not prepared for what she saw.

On the one hand, Kieri specialized in ice magic. Well, specialized was a strong term-the angel considered herself reasonably competent with it, though by no means was she an expert. On the other hand, this was not St. Curtis. She wasn't even sure if this was Media. Kieri breathed shakily as she took in her new surroundings, clouds of moisture as pale as her skin exiting her mouth as she did.

She shakily rose to her feet. Clearly, it was another sort of city, and one beset by an unfortunate late season blizzard. This was likely the aftermath of it, considering the amount of snow on the ground and the lack of any rough winds. What befuddled the angel though was the city itself. It seemed...Advanced. Far more so than anything in Media, maybe even more than Heaven itself. It was unlike anything she had ever seen before. People around her went about their business, some commenting to those around them 'We got another one.' or other words to that effect.

Now, if Kieri had stopped her scan right then and there, she would've taken off then and there to get an arial view of the city. However, she didn't stop her scan.

What Kieri saw made her bleary blue eyes widen, and she had to fight back a scream. Perhaps only twenty feet in front of her was a giant sitting in the snow. It wasn't any type of Median native Kieri was familiar with, nor did it appear to be an angel or a demon. If anything, it appeared to be a very large green and black suit of armor. The chest area of this apparent golem reminded her of her mother's breast plate...

Kieri looked down and saw that she was now clutching her well sleeved arms, though not due to the cold. She was an ice magic user after all, she was used to it. That could only mean... 'Focus,' came the part of her mind that had gotten her out of situations that should've killed her in the past 'never mind about that now. See if it has any friends...'

Kieri did so, and whether or not they were allies of the golem, there certainly seemed to be some activity around it. However, she only found three people around it that looked remotely familiar to her-a tan, elderly looking human with grey robes and a sword strapped to his back, another human in a suit of black armor and spikes on the shoulder guards, and a very small...Kieri squinted. At first, she thought that it must've been a wind demon, given it's avian qualities and clear non human features, but...It was so tiny. Could it just be a jakkai in a convincing costume? She'd only know when she got close enough.

It was at this point that Kieri realized that she was already moving towards the group on foot. Her crunching footfalls in the snow would give her away instantly to this group if it hadn't already, a fact that the same part of her mind that had gotten her to focus cursed at her for. 'Just get a read on the others,' she thought to herself, still in that mindset 'and be ready to fight.' That in mind, she clutched the handle of her blade cautiously, scanning the other two companions of the armor leviathan.

One of them looked perfectly normal from the waist up, but from the waist down it looked like someone had sewed a giant spider together with a man. It was rather disturbing to the angel, who made a mental note to try and avoid him for now. Then there was a perfectly normal looking horse. Except it had wings. And a horn. And a marking on it's flank. And purple fur. Purple fur, just like Buw...

'Stop it!' She screamed at herself mentally 'Don't think of him. Not now, never again if possible...' She finished to herself with a sad sigh, letting her hand drop from her sword's hilt. They weren't attacking anyone, she supposed, no need to go to them with combat on the brain.

Soon, Kieri was on the edge of this odd group and, if her crunching footsteps had not yet given her away, her clearing her throat certainly did. "H-Hello there." She said shakily, bowing respectfully towards the strangers.

"Good luck with your search!" the man with the color shifting coat said to Ben and Asgore, then went back to looking through the supermarket for more food. Once they'd left the supermarket, the trip to one of the balconies at the edge of the city was fairly easy for Ben and Asgore, taking only a few minutes. The massive glacier wall towered above them as they took a look around, seeing no sign of the man with the colorful outfit and turban that the man in the supermarket had described. (Of course the account was from two days ago, so it was not really that surprising that the man wouldn't be here now. Or he could just be on the other side of the city.)

What they did see though was another group of people trying to get something done. They appeared to be attempting to dig a tunnel through the glacier, and strangely the ice was actually clear enough to see the figures at the end working with their various tools, albeit slightly warped by the ice. Then there were a number of people working on removing chunks of ice from the tunnel, mostly using buckets. The tunnel also had a fork in it, where a secondary tunnel was going off to one side and downwards out of sight. As Asgore and Ben were arriving, a man came up from that tunnel and called out to the others, "hey guys, you might want to see this!" before proceeding back down the side tunnel, a few of his colleagues following after.

The drider had been preparing to respond to Grimlock but had practically dove for cover the moment Plague Knight's explosives started going off. It took him a minute to recover his composure and shake off some of the snow that he'd slid into. "I'm not sure how any of us got here, but 'here' is some sort of twisted scape with a shifting layout; everyone here comes from different worlds, and it seems like none of us intended to come here" the drider said.

"I don't know what humans are like in your world, creature, but the ones here are the same size as the ones I've known before" the drider added to answer Grimlock's other question. "Speaking of the humans though, you should be careful about them. They've started banding together for protection, and seem to fear those not like themselves. The other day I was nearly forced to go to my death by a group of them" he continued, folding his arms with a look of disgust on his face, "and there's been rumors of a strong human warrior going around specifically killing non-humans."

As the latest arrival meekly introduced herself, the drider looked surprised and a bit startled. "What-! I-! A-and who exactly, are you?" the drider asked, now trying very hard not to be hypocritical with his last statement about fearing those not like yourself, while simultaneously looking very scared for his life by the angelic figure.

As Rex and Lune got closer to the diner, it became apparent that the crowd there was not actively enjoying any meals; in fact there seemed to be some kind of dispute going on with some yelling. Multiple people within the crowd were trying to speak at once making it difficult to make out specifics, but the gist of it seemed to be that they wanted some food and were upset that the people currently occupying the diner were not sharing. The clamoring was finally silenced by a very loud bang of metal hitting metal; up at the counter, a woman with cat ears on her head then addressed the crowd with an angry expression, still holding the large frying pan that she'd just hit the counter with.

"WOULD YOU IDIOTS LISTEN FOR A MINUTE!? It's not that we won't share the food, it's that we can't share the food! All the stuff in the back for cooking is broken! So unless you want raw meat or uncooked bread dough, you can all sod off!" the woman yelled angrily at them.

Fortunately there was nobody inside, even in the back, to object to the group's rampant looting... But there was a sleeping bag in the back room where the brewery was, along with other signs that somebody had been staying at the place. Come to think of it, buildings in the city weren't normally locked...

Outside, Morty would see a man in a coat round a corner and stop once he saw Morty in the doorway. "What the!? How the hell did you unlock-" the man began, trudging forward and interrupting himself as he recognized Morty. It was the same man who had been leading that mob against the drider yesterday. "You again!?!" he said angrily, holding up a weapon; rather than the makeshift spear he had the other day, the man now had a more proper armament: A short, straight sword, with an odd black blade and a crossguard that looked vaguely like bug wings.

"What are you doing in my place!?" the man demanded of Morty as he started walking across the street toward him.

Asgore finished his sandwich as he walked alongside Ben, the heat his current form was emanating was certainly pleasant considering the temperature, even though he could easily produce some fire himself. As they ended up not finding their objective, Asgore wasn't exactly surprised by it considering the city was so big, but he did take notice of the work the other people seemed to be doing.

"Looks like they are working on something big," he commented to Ben "maybe they found something interesting?"

Gon was now walking down the street, looking around carefully to see if he can stop by somewhere to get some things.

Supplies and some combat gear would be good for starters. From what he remembered about the group, he's the only one so far who can fight using normal means. And normal means with just his feet, fist and whatever gun, grenade, explosive or booby trap he can use.

May as well try my luck and see if I can get to locate a firearms store or something.

The assassin kept walking towards the direction until he found what appears to be a gun store. He wasn't sure, but he needed a closesr look.

He got a grip on the doorknob, but after he looked around to see if anyone else was around. He didn't want to be caught off guard.

The door was locked, the building having been claimed by someone who had found the key inside. Gon wouldn't find any gun store that was unlocked, as those were among the first places to be taken during the first day.

Heatblast walked alongside Asgore, raising an "eyebrow" as they approached the ice tunnels. Upon being summoned forth, Heatblast nodded a bit and came in for a closer look. "Looks like they're trying to drill a tunnel through the ice. Out of curiosity, when the man came out and then went back in, he followed them inside.

He just hoped that being made of fire in a cavern made of ice wouldn't make the walls melt... though all it would really do is douse his flame for a while. Not exactly the most pleasant thing to happen in a cave made of ice, all things considered...

Kieri jumped a little herself at the half man, half spider hybrid's reaction towards her. It wasn't necessarily uncommon-an earthbound angel had a tendency to cause a stir, even if such a sight was becoming more and more commonplace as time went on. Still, she hadn't expected that reaction to come from...Well, whatever that thing was.

"My n-name is Sno-" She stopped herself, clearing her throat. Step one to forgetting him, stop using his nickname for you.

"I am K-Kieri Suizahn," she said, her stuttering and her putting the accent on the wrong syllable giving away that Lingo was not her first language "m-may I ask the same question of you?"

Grimlock (RiD15); Dino mode

Somewhere in a City

Grimlock flinched and covered his audio receptors when the little robed human shouted. It was only enough to lower it to bearable levels. When he was sure he wouldn't shout again, he lowered his arms and said,

"That's 'cause I ain't a dragon. I'm a Dinobot."

The spider guy said that the humans were normal sized, but that didn't make any sense. How were they bigger now? He didn't get much time to dwell on the other things the guy said as someone else said, "H-Hello there."

When he looked to the voice's source, he found a girl wearing blue clothing with white wings. He would've been surprised if he hadn't noticed how nervously she sounded when she spoke. Even when she answered the spider guy asking who she was, she sounded like it. Maybe she missed home too?

So Grimlock put up his kindest and biggest smile, and said, "Hi there too. I'm Grimlock," unaware she was talking to spider guy.

There was a brief clamor of panic as the dude made of fire stepped into the icy tunnel, but as it became clear that he had no hostile intention things calmed down. A little. While the roof of the tunnel did start dripping a little, the actual immediate problem for Heatblast was the floor instantly melting beneath his feet, getting him momentarily stuck in two ankle deep holes of water until his feet were put out.

"You uh... Want to see too?" one of the people in the tunnel asked a bit hesitantly, and pointed down the side tunnel. The person headed down giving Heatblast a good berth. Going down the tunnel, since it was past the edge of the city, then going down a ways, gave a subjectively interesting view back in the direction of the city, as one man was pointing out to his colleagues.

"... I don't see anything" one man said after a slight pause.

"Exactly! Look, we've already seen that the view through this ice is actually incredibly clear, though warped slightly; it's apparently almost completely transparent. So you see, there? The curve?" the excited man asked, outlining the curve that was the bottom of the city with his finger. "That's the bottom of the city; it's not resting on anything except the ice! Assuming the city changes tomorrow, and the ice disappears with that change, returning the city to that blue void, that means the city has been floating on nothing this whole time!" he explained further.

"And what's the significance of that?" a person who seemed to be of a shorter humanoid race asked.

"The significance is merely that we now know. The city might've been sitting on top of a thin spire out of sight for all we knew, but now we know that it isn't, which would rule out any plans of say, escaping the city by climbing down" the excited man responded.

There was a moment of silence as most of the group couldn't think of anything to say; they didn't seem particularly excited about the view or that news. Finally one woman spoke up, "so wait a minute, if this ice is pretty much fully transparent, and we don't see anything through it outwards, then our tunnel idea..."

"Will either continue indefinitely through an infinite amount of ice, or open up into the same void of nothing that surrounded the city before" the man filled in for her. A groan emanated from the group.

"So much for all that work we did" the woman muttered.

"I am Bergree Valdyn of the house Aleanrahel" the drider introduced himself after Grimlock took his turn from the drider. "As little as that means, where we are now" he added, relaxing a bit since it was becoming evident that Kieri was not hostile.

Could be perfect.

Gon looked at his left and right before he checked the door one more time. It was locked.

Oh well. I'm a hired assassin anyway. What can go wrong aside from being found out?

The assassin used his right shoulder and rammed on the door with all of his strength. He tried this a few times to see if he can get the door to budge a bit.

Kieri was committing the name Bergree to memory when Grimlock started talking to her. She whirled her head around to face him, only to find that she had to crane her neck to a rather painful angle to look the giant square in the face.

Her first thoughts as Grimlock's slightly metallic voice was 'Oh Gaia, the possessed suit of armor is talking.'. Kieri's second thought was, now that she was up close to him, was that she couldn't identify what being would wear a suit of armor like that to begin with. It looked reptilian in nature, perhaps for a reptile earth demon? The problem was she had encountered no such variant of earth demon, either in books or in the field. So she had to assume this was something different all together. It was at that moment Kieri realized she was staring and promptly stopped it, lowering her blue and still slightly red eyes to the ground.

"A p-pleasure to meet you both, G-Grimlock and Bergree," she said, trying to figure out how to word this next bit without trying to come off as insensitive "my n-next question is...W-Well, this g-goes for m-most everyone here, except the m-man in the black armor and the one w-with the sword on his back. I c-can tell they're human, but...W-What exactly are t-the rest of you?"

Liquor Store

As Legion robbed the place for all it was worth he heard angry shouting. The proprietor of this establishment had found them, and he wasn't very happy. More importantly, Morty was outside and armed with a laser pistol.

The geth's moralities clashed. It could prevent a child from killing someone, attempt to nonlethally defuse the situation, or instead do nothing and continue to stash up on alcohol. Unfortunately, the geth decided that discretion was the better part of organic survival today, and continued pilfering with what it could carry.

Of course, the man was armed. Setting down the alcohol it had already taken Legion waited.

Adam cloaked himself and vanished from sight, the Buzzkill should be enough to nonlethally take the man down.

The meek attitude of this angel-like person somewhat reminded Twilight of Fluttershy.

After Kieri introduced herself, and Grimlock and Bergee introduced themselves to her (and to everyone else in the process), Twilight followed suit with her response to Kieri's question about what they were.

"Nice to meet you, Kieri, my name is Twilight Sparkle. I'm an alicorn pony."

Outside the diner

Before getting near the diner, Lune asked Rex if he needed her help. he was surprised because he hadn't noticed her following Adam, lEgion, and him.

"Huh, Lune? How did you get so fast here?" Any help was appreciated because the alternative was freezing to death. "Feel free to help, I'm just... looking for breakfast"

As he got closer to the establishment, Rex noticed that the crowd were yelling about food or something. He couldn't understand everything they were saying but it was clear that they blamed the diner occupants for not sharing their food.

A sudden bang left Rex deaf for a second and it also silenced the crowd. A cat lady appeared, shouting that the cooking instruments were all broken and that they couldn't serve people. Well, this didn't look like the problems Rex used to solve but there's a first time for everything so he decided to step in and help.

Rex adressed everyone "What seems to be the problem? Besides the freezing temperatures, I mean"

Heatblast gasped a bit as he sunk about a foot into the ground before his feet were put out with a hiss. He sighed angrily, then continued to walk with the others, looking at the floating city with mild disbelief and annoyance.

"Man, this guy really covered his tracks," Heatblast muttered under his breath. He then spoke up. "Listen, all of you! I'm going to help try and find a way to get out of this prison city, so we can all get home and back to our families and stuff." Ben, being 10 years old, wasn't that great at inspiring speeches. He coughed a bit, then looked over at Asgore for him to back up his statement.

"So you are telling me other people...from other galaxies are brought to this place?"

Darth Marr responded to the drider upon hearing his explanation.

"I will not be the toy of whoever brought us here. Not only do I have a important war to lead against an new threat to the Sith Empire, while also being on borrowed time. There must be a way to get out of this city."

Marr then noticed some near-human, which seemed rather shy...and seemed to have wings...this city certainly has a fair share of non-humans, he was sure that if most of the members of the Dark Council were here, they would try and use these non-humans or purebloods for their own gain or as slaves...it's a shame that Darth Nox isn't here, he would certainly appreciate a familiar ally here with the same logical and pragmatic thinking as him.

"If you all must know my name, I am Darth Marr, Sith Lord, member of the Dark Council and current leader of the Sith Empire."

edited 9th Dec '15 1:53:51 PM by Darkomega245

Asgore was a bit stunned when Ben looked back at him, expecting him to assist him in his speech. Normally he wouldn't have an issue talking up about this, but currently he had so little knowledge about everything that was going on that it made it difficult for him to really tell if it was something he could really do and he really did not want to make any promises that he wouldn't be able to follow through. Still, he didn't stay hesitant for long as it did look like those people did need some motivation.

"Certainly. There must be some way of leaving this strange place. I am sure all of us have businesses and families to return to and want to return as soon as possible. For a city like this to be able to float the way it does, it could have some sort of power source hidden in it. If we could find something of that kind, then perhaps we could have some sort of control over it," he tried to keep a smile on his face, though it wasn't hard for one to notice some doubt in his eyes, which he was very aware of "it is nothing more than a possibility, but I suppose as long as there is any alternatives on how to get us to go back home, it is probably worth of a try."

Kieri stood and took in the new introductions, trying to absorb all the information about them that she could. One might suspect that her questions would be more towards the nature of the place she had been brought to, but Kieri had been transplanted into a strange world once before, so she had been used to it. Last time it happened, her questions did indeed revolve around 'Where are we?', but that ended up being...Less than fruitful. Alienate yourself from an entire town less than fruitful. The angel had decided to take a different approach this time.

The word 'alicorn' made Kieri blink a bit. She had heard of unicorns and pegasuses (pegasi?) before, but never a combination of the two. Let alone one actually standing right in front of her. Also, apparently this horse had a name, Twilight Sparkle. Also it was sentient. And a princess. The Angel had begun to wonder if Rhea had spiked one of her drinks recently. Still, Twilight seemed friendly enough.

Less could be said, however, of Darth Marr. Kieri knew that just because someone looked dark and evil did not necessarily mean that they were, nor did a bad first impression do them in, but combining them together did not bode well to her. He was clearly a man of war from the way he talked and carried himself, things that Kieri could pick out easily thanks to a childhood living under her Mother's roof. While anything that reminded her of her Mother unnerved Kieri, the way Darth Marr was talking only made it worse.

'Dark Council? Sith Empire? Those...Do not sound good. Perhaps they just take a different meaning from where he's from. Wherever he's from...' She thought to herself. From the way Darth Marr acted, it seemed that he had just come from a war himself. Another thing Kieri could pick out thanks to her Mother. She gulped-Twilight she could tell was fine, if anything else someone nice to talk to and pass the time with once she got past the whole horse thing, but Darth Marr...She did not want to pass judgement on him yet, but she needed more.

"It is a p-pleasure to m-meet you, Twilight," Kieri said with a soft smile "I m-must admit, I am n-not used to seeing hor-...Ah, you c-called yourself a p-pony, that's right. Anyway, I'm n-not used to s-seeing ponies t-that can talk."

Kieri steeled herself internally before glancing back towards Darth Marr. If her hunch was right, and she hoped it wasn't, she'd have to word herself carefully so she wouldn't incite her wrath... "A pleasure to m-meet you as well, D-Darth Marr," she began "you m-mentioned an empire that y-you lead and a c-council, correct? I m-must admit, I am n-not familiar with this empire c-called the S-Sith. P-Perhaps you c-could elaborate? O-Only if you want to, of c-course..."

Darth Marr looked at Kieri under his mask as she asked him about the empire, he certainly felt the doubt she had with him.

"The Sith Empire was founded to give order to the galaxy, for people to be ready to fight across the battlefield of life without any fear and create a galaxy united by passion, or that's what I thought it was. Betrayal quite stings like salt on a wound...especially when it comes from the founder itself..." Marr snarled at the last part, he still was quite angered by the Sith Emperor and his "Eternal Empire".

"And while I admit the Empire is flawed with infighting and unnecessary power grabs , I still believe in it and I will make sure to improve it for the better before my body will eventually give up on me...before this..."incident" happened...even though it saved my life."

Marr shook his head in frustration, he'd better find a way to return to Imperial space soon.

"That is no rumor, my friend," Plague said to the Drider. "There truly is a behemoth in blue armor that indiscriminately kills anything that is not human. I have not only seen him for myself, but I seen him committing the act red handed and subsequently vanquished for it! Pity death does not seem to be permanent in this city....."

Then Grimlock spoke: "Not a dragon? Really? Hmm......." He wrote down some more notes. When Kirei entered the scene, he started to pace around her, unnoticed by the angel, taking notes. Most certainly some type of humanoid creature with wings on their back, the wings similar to doves. Her small stature might be indictive of a evolutionary process of sacrificing body mass for lift, as their would be no way lift could be achieved if she were bigger and/or taller. Poor thing had a bad case of the stutters, though whether it was purely because of nerves or the weather he could not tell. Definitely a signs of some sort of sheltered life style.

Darth Marr, however, Plague Knight dwell little upon. Looked like ever single one of those annoyingly obnoxious "dark knights" that tried to hard to be all dark and mysterious. His talk of this Sith and this Empire suggested he may be more of the real deal. A villain, in actuality, backstabbed by his fellows. This founder he mentioned must not really be that much of an efficient leader if the infighting he mentioned was truly that frequent. The Enchantress was much better in comparison, even if she did not really do anything.

"Oh, apologies," Plague Knight said, pausing from his note taking after noticing everyone else already introduce themselves. "You may all call me Plague Knight!" he introduced, bowing. "Greatest alchemist in all of Pridemoor Valley, and even the world!" He turned his attention back to Twlight.

"An alicorn you say?" he asked. "They only exist as myths and the workings of conartists back in my world, but to see a real one in person is truly an honor! And apparently from your level of sapience as to speak and hold conversation, your species live in a form of civilized society. Tell, do alicorns such as yourself hold high positions in your society? Are you all born naturally, or does it comes as a result in random yet naturally occurring mutation?" he asked.

Clearly, Darth Marr and Kieri's mother were more similar than the angel first thought-outside of a clear military background (or in Marr's case, a militant sounding group), they both believed heavily in a cause that was a noble one. However, Kieri also knew how causes like those were a bit like apples-one rotten one, and the whole bunch spoils. She wasn't accusing Darth Marr of being one of these bad apples of course, but from how he described his Empire being one fraught with backstabbing and political trickery...The Angel was at least thankful now that it was Darth Marr she had run into, and not someone, or perhaps something, far worse from the Sith.

"Ah, t-thank you," Kieri said respectfully "I m-must admit, I b-believe that m-my race has s-something similar to your S-Sith Empire, in that it w-wishes to unite the w-world under one b-banner. T-Though I c-cannot say from personal experience if it h-has as much...Infighting." She finished, trying to chose that last word carefully. While she did not believe that Darth Marr was a particularly bad man, she still had to exercise caution. It was one of the few things that had stuck with her through training that wasn't academic-stay cautious in the face of strange, new things. If they can be trusted, ally with them, and discover their strengths.

Kieri had taken little notice of Plague Knight as she paced around her, though she was able to get a glance at the notes he was taking. A scholar of some sort then, something that was confirmed with his rather...Bombastic statements of being the greatest alchemist of his realm. She was fairly certain the avian qualities Plague Knight possessed were simply due to his clothing, so she pushed the idea of him being a wind demon out of her brain and placed him firmly in the human category.

Kieri smiled lightly at Plague Knight's bow, a gesture she was familiar with, and gave him one in return before he gave his attention over to Twilight. She would've said more, but it was clear to her that he was zeroed in on the Alicorn at this point, so she'd rather not break his concentration.

Outside Restaurant

"Alright... A hot meal may keep the cold away. Let's see why this crowd has gathered here, though."

Lune slowly approached the crowd of protesters. She briefly covered her ears because of that annoying clanging created by that cat lady. From what she heard through the audience's complaints, it seemed that the restaurant was hogging the food because their tools were busted. If they could fix their tools of they could get better tools somehow, then they could serve the people much more readily.

As soon as she reached the crowd, Lune spoke up. "Is there any way we can help you guys?"

edited 9th Dec '15 6:01:08 PM by josh6243

Heatblast smiled sheepishly. "Thanks, your Highness. I'm not good at speeches," he sighed. He then looked back at the miners. "In the meantime, is there anything we can do to help at all?" he asked. Heatblast thought for a moment and sighed.

"We really need to get going, actually. We're searching for a mysterious man in a blue-and-purple outfit with a turban that's trading things. Do you guys know who we're talking about, or do you guys have any idea where we can find this guy?" Heatblast finally asked the miners.

Snow near Library

"Maybe we should!" Mary exclaimed, getting out of the pile of snow and frozen paper, not even shaking off all the cold bits she had on herself. "And while we're at it, we can have some fun with the snow! But first I suppose we need things like gloves and hats and other things. I saw some pictures in books, and the people in them had a lot of clothes on them. They looked very soft too."

After she finished stating her thoughts aloud, she looked around for a bit with a serious expression, until she noticed that one of the stores was being looted, and there were lots of winter clothing lying around on the street as a result.

"Oh there!" the fabricated girl pointed out. "There are clothes there! Let's go!"
