• Physical Description

  Nook Cranny’s coat and wings color is that of a light pink color. She has yellow eyes, a yellow mane and tail with lime green streaks. Her mane is long and she wears a large purple bow on top of her head. Her tail is long and swirly. She tends to wear purple flight googles, purple sweatbands on all four of her legs, and a striped purple flight scarf. However, whenever she is in film noir detective mode she will wear her detective outfit similar to Shadow Spade’s and instead of her flight scarf she’ll wear her magnifying glass around her neck.

  I'm still thinking what her cutie mark should be. I have ideas. Just trying to figure out which one is the best fit for her.

• Backstory

   

  Born in Sidneigh, Haystralia to a pair of loving parents, Nook Cranny was the youngest of three children. But she was not the most mischievous. That title would have to belong to her sister, Junebug who was a bit of a childish prankster and had the nasty habit of teasing birds. Their father, Cloud Kicker is a weather pony who despite his old age still had a few tricks up his sleeve. Plus, he has experience and knowledge on his side. Their mother, Silver Bullet, on the other hoof, is a racer and a regular speed demon. Or rather she used to be, back in the day when she was a lot younger. She slowed down a lot since then.

   

  But then racing and flying fast is kind of a family thing especially on Nook's mother's side. Speed and the need to fly fast is just in her blood. A lot of racers on Nook's mother's side of the family. Perhaps one of the more famous, well-known of these racers was none other than Jet Fusion, a super fast speedster that once led the Wonderbolts and did something that was once considered impossible: she produced a sonic rainboom. Oh how Nook desired to do the same, just to make her family proud.

   

  An interesting thing about Nook's birth was the colors she was born with: a peach colored coat, a bright green mane and tail with yellow streaks in both, and yellow eyes. Her family and the doctors could not believe it! She was the spitting image of Jet Fusion! From that moment on, her family mistakenly believed that Nook would continue Jet's legacy as a great flier and as such get a cutie mark in flying and join the Wonderbolts. But things did not end up that way. Life is kind of funny like that: for years one may dream of doing this one particular thing only to end up doing something else.

   

  In the beginning, Nook was super close to both her siblings despite the age difference. They would do all sorts of things together. Her older siblings always did make time to play with Nook and teach her things. It was Junebug that told Nook interesting facts about various insects while Storm Chaser taught Nook Astronomy and Astrology. Nook always found such subjects fascinating and appreciated her older siblings teaching her cool stuff even if she wasn't the best at the things they showed her. She still found them fun and interesting. This sadly went on for only a few more years. All of that changed in the course of one day when the little filly was only around eight years old and her older brother, Storm Chaser was eighteen.

   

  Filly Nook whom had a terrible nightmare only the night before begged him not to go. She didn't want him to do it for she believed it too dangerous for back then she was such a cautious little filly and her nightmare was so very scary and it felt real. VERY real. But naturally no pony not even her own brother took her fears seriously for the little filly pulled this kind of stunt before. She tricked her whole family into thinking her sick, so that her big brother could stay home from work and play with her. Him being well...a storm chaser he often had some rather exciting tales to tell. Both of his sisters enjoyed hearing his stories. However, no pony was happy upon discovering that Nook was just playing hooky and wasn't really sick at all. So naturally Nook's family just thought she was crying wolf yet again. She really wasn't though, but sadly no pony believed her. And so it was Storm Chaser left to follow the storm as was his job to do so. For him chasing after storms even the big, dangerous ones was just another day at the office for him and his coworkers. No pony knew just how wrong they were until too late. Initially when Storm Chaser didn't come home the time he promised he'd be back, the family didn't worry too much save for little Nook Cranny who feared the worst. They just thought he got held up or had to stay a little longer. Boy were they wrong! By the time they began to worry they were told some pretty upsetting news by one of Storm's partners. According to Storm's coworker, Storm got lost in the storm. His partner claimed that she and the other survivors tried to save him, but the storm proved too great and none of the pegasi in the group were strong enough to save everypony. Nook didn't believe that and has never forgiven Storm's partner for that and ever since has blamed her for older brother's disappearance. But Nook has also blamed herself and the rest of her family! If they had only listened to her! If she wasn't so stupid as to have so foolishly cried wolf previously then maybe just maybe her older brother would still be alive. But no Storm was still very much alive. Just out there lost somewhere. She could feel it and so longed to prove it by finding him. Sadly though at the time she was considered too young and not nearly strong enough to take on such a perilous quest alone. However, the MPIs assured her and her family that Storm would be found and brought safely home. Nook hoped they would find him, but still somehow had her doubts. Even then she wasn't a very trusting pony. Sadly her worst fears were confirmed when not even the professional search and rescue ponies could find her brother. From that moment on she swore she would stop at nothing to find her brother herself.

   

  Unfortunately, her brother going MIA was cause for her parents going all over protective on her and Junebug. In fact, she really couldn't go anywhere without their permission and certainly not alone; which was most frustrating indeed. Still, she understood where they were coming from. She just wished they weren't so strict. Things just got even worse when her parents started putting both her and Junebug through a series of flight tests and exercises. It wouldn't have been so bad if her parents didn't act like military drill sergeants forcing their daughters through boot camp! Initially, the girls banned together since they both hated it. That was until their parents began zeroing in on Nook specifically. They started giving her more training and lessons in flying than June often explaining it away as Nook being younger and therefore needing the extra attention. However, this did not stop June from becoming envious of her younger sister nor did it prevent her from thinking that all of her younger sister's extra attention was merely due to Nook being the spitting image of their famous ancestor. In fact, Junebug could not help, but think that had she too been born peach colored, green, and yellow then their parents would also train her just as hard.

   

  Sadly, June allowed her jealousy to consume her and she began hanging out with her younger sis less and less. Poor Nook who took it to heart just thought that her own sister just didn't like her anymore. It was around this time that they visited their cousins' peach farm. They were earth ponies, but definitely not poor and very successful. So naturally Nook wanted to play with her cousins who were all her age or older. Unfortunately, June must have gotten to them before she could tell them her side of the story. But no matter how hard she tried to get involved in a play date they would just ignore her. Dejected, the little pegasus filly was then forced to hang out with the much more boring adults. They kept her pretty occupied with the helping of the chores and yet more training thanks to her obsessed parents who still seem to have it in their heads that they could teach her to become more like Jet. While this was all going on, Nook looked on with envy as her cousins and sister all got to play together and have fun while she was stuck performing menial earth pony chores. It wasn't until later that she discovered why her cousins were avoiding her. Her sister had apparently told them that she was hogging all of their parents love for herself. After explaining that just wasn't the case her cousins invited her to join them in their games. They wanted to exclude Junebug for her lies, but it was Nook that persuaded them to let her stay. After all, excluding her wouldn't help. Not when the reason for all her lying was due to envy. June apologized for her previous behavior and the two sisters made up.

   

  However, her time spent with the adults was not a complete waste for it was during this time she discovered her talent and what she surely was meant to do with her life. She discovered as well as the adults that she has a natural knack for finding things. You see, her relatives sometimes would misplace things around the house and she would in turn would find them. Her gift started off small and then it just began to grow. Still, she did not get her cutie mark just yet. So maybe she needed to find something a bit more valuable than just missing ordinary, everyday objects. Nook was certainly one willing to try. She would never forget the look on her sister's face when she told her. Junebug looked so proud and happy for her. She wasn't mean at all. Ever since then, Nook would help her schoolmates find whatever they lost. She even went as far as setting up a lost and found booth for she was quite determined to earn her cutie mark in finding things and was more than willing to do whatever it took to get such a mark even if it went against what her parents wanted for her. They wanted their youngest daughter to get her cutie mark in flying. They had hoped that Junebug would have received her cutie mark in flying as well, but it was too late for her since she had already gotten hers around Nook's age for bug communication.

   

  Then one day when Winter Wrap Up came it finally happened. A pegasus had lost track of a couple of stragglers from a flock of birds and returned to Haystralia empty hooded and with no idea how far back the stragglers were and where they may have ended up. Though still a young filly, Nook realized she might be the only one able to track down and return the missing birds safely home in time for spring, so she bravely volunteered to go after them. Understandably, the other adults didn’t think she could make the long, blizzardry journey alone and her parents didn’t much like the idea of their filly daughter going anywhere alone for so long. But they all agreed that Nook though young might still be their best chance at finding the lost birds, so luckily Junebug volunteered to accompany Nook on her mission and to keep an eye on her. After giving the feathers the returned geese had a long sniff, Nook saw strange pictures in her head. She described it as having a movie inside her head. More importantly, the movie gave her hints to the missing geese’s location.

   

   

  After packing their saddlebags of everything they would need for the trip, the two sisters took off to save spring. Eventually the duo found the missing geese causing little Nook to receive her very own cutie mark! It was a magnifying glass symbolizing not only her unique ability to find lost things and ponies for that matter, but for her clairvoyance ability. They also came across a young unicorn colt around Nook’s age who is having problems with bullies in his school picking on him simply because he is having trouble controlling his speed magic; which has disastrous results for his parchments and quills. After leaving young Rapid with some good advice, he and Nook make a pact to remain friends and to see each other again. The two also became pen pals with Rapid Quill commenting that he really could use the extra practice if he ever hopes to become a great writer some day. The two sisters then return home just in time to save spring with the once missing geese in tow. Their city welcomed them back telling them what a great job they did and were impressed when they saw that the mission resulted in Nook Cranny getting her cutie mark. Everypony that is except curiously enough their own parents who were most disappointed that Nook had received her cutie mark in something unrelated to flying. Sadly, her parents disapproval sent the once optimistic yet always cautious little filly into a sea of depression. Things only grew worse when her parents continued to train her in vain.

   

  A few years later she enlisted in the Wonderbolts Academy, yet another 'great' idea of her parents! Even so she wasn't a particularly bad student. She was just more than a little preoccupied with finding Storm Chaser than she was in her studies. Still, she was definitely a strong flier much like her ancestor and that they liked. What they didn't like was her constantly trying to locate her brother when she was supposed to be doing something else. Indeed, her beloved big brother was still out there somewhere lost and so very much alone. Despite all her best efforts even Nook has thus far been unable to locate him; which seems almost impossible considering how her clairvoyant abilities have increased so much since her youth. Indeed she has found many missing ponies and objects since first discovering her ability, but sadly not one has been her big bro.

   

  Her superiors sympathized with her and appreciated her unique talents, but they constantly had to remind her not to let herself get so distracted. That she couldn't allow her emotions to get in the way of rational thinking. That she needed to see the big picture and not just obsess with 'minor' details. They also accused her of learning "too quickly" and being overambitious. Nook in turn often complained that her progress moved "too slowly." Even so with luck and hard work, Nook completed her training with flying colors and became a full fledged Wonderbolt. It didn't last. For better or for worse this path simply wasn't hers. Throughout her short time as a Wonderbolt she would constantly disobey orders in order to "play hero" as they called it. Although she really did have good intentions whenever doing so.

   

  Sadly such actions tended to put not only herself in danger, but would often risk the very lives of her own teammates. Such as the time that she disobeyed a direct order to stand down and wait for backup during a monster attack. This time she would have obeyed, but when she saw a civilian pony trapped in its clutches she just lost it! She made the split second decision to save that pony at the cost of putting some of her teammates in the hospital. This wasn't the first time nor the last that she pulled a stunt like this. It was also around this time that the once modest pony became a huge egotist due to her great success and for finally winning her parents' approval. No doubt something had to be done. A decision needed to be made. Following a long discussion of what should be done about their latest overly ambitious, talented recruit, they well...they fired her. It was a decision not made lightly either. Naturally, Nook was upset and angry and accused them of being unjust! Even then they stood their ground and explained their reasons. But they understood the...stigma of being a fired Wonderbolt and offered to write her a stellar recommendation since they understood she was only trying to help. Understandably she still wasn't happy for she just knew how disappointed her parents will be upon learning how she lost her position in the Wonderbolts. She could hear it all now: all that money we spent on putting you through your Wonderbolt training; all that time we spent teaching you, training you as a filly; all that hard work down the drain! And why? Because you just had to be the hero and save the day, didn't you? Nook so was not looking forward to that!

   

  Wanting to avoid her parents for as long as she possibly could she decided to remain in Cloudsdale. Also she needed to find new work, but even with these letters of recommendation who would hire her after learning she was fired from being a Wonderbolt?

   

  Sadly, she was right and for once she wished she wasn't. She hoped none of her potential employers would find out, but when they did they refused to hire her feeling she would likely put them all at risk even at jobs where there was little risk to begin with. About to give up she came up with a plan. She opened up her own lost and found business with the simple yet effective motto: I can find anything! She opened one in Cloudsdale and one in Ponyville. Not only that, but she decided to become an MPI. She felt that with all the crazy villains running around Equestria really could use one especially when the Wonderbolts are slow to act.

   

  And so she put her sewing skills to good use and created her own superhero costume and got herself some weapons and smoke bombs. With all that done, she was ready to take down the vile, criminal element! So look out fowl villains, there's a new hero in town and she is more than ready to get dangerous!

• Key Moments

  Finding lost things and keeping them at her Cloudsdale and Ponyville stands for the owners to come by and pick them up.

  Finding missing ponies and other creatures who mysteriously disappeared and reuniting them with their families.

  Finding and bringing back the birds during Winter Wrap Up.

  Helping out the weather pegasi whenever they need help.

  Upholding her extremist views and then sharing them with anypony who will listen.

  Performing various acts of vigilantism.

• Personality

  Nook Cranny is a very self-conscious pony that constantly pushes herself even far beyond her own limitations, out of feeling pressured to live up to her famous ancestor's name. She strives to become a great flyer like her ancestor, Jet Fusion and so she practices and trains really hard every chance she gets with the hopes that she will one day perform a perfect sonic rainboom. That and she fears that if she doesn't then she will let down her entire family and disgrace her family name. She really hates that she looks like Jet Fusion since she feels constantly judged by others and she has the constant fear that she is not good enough since her special talent is not in flying nor in weather control. As a result she feels like a disappointment and has some major self-esteem issues.

   

  But on the flip side she is also very prideful. She has a way of hiding her insecurities by acting like everything in her life is A-ok even though it really isn’t. She does this by trying to find ways to lighten the mood either by trying to tell jokes, telling stories, or by showing off her aerial tricks. During her facade she is usually very excitable and hyper.

   

  As she is Haystralian she speaks in a thick Haystralian accent and tends to use a lot of Haystralian slang. She also tends to act as though she were in a film noir mystery, has a habit of monologuing, and showing off.

   

  Nook is also a very impatient, short-tempered pony. As such she has trouble standing still for too long nor does she take criticism too well. She simply does not know how to deal. Furthermore, she has an enormous ego and is pretty pretentious to boot. She is also prideful, arrogant, and overconfident. Her overconfidence, however, tends to land her in a heap of trouble.

   

  And on the other side of the coin, she is a perfectionist, a people pleaser and a major control freak who not only strives to do her best, but tends to get flustered when others don't do the same. She is also the type that does not know how to ask for help due to her own stubbornness and pride. Preferring to do things solo and do things her own way, Nook isn’t much of a team player and as such she does not know how to work on a team. This was one of the reasons why she wasn’t cut out to be a Wonderbolt like her ancestor. What’s worse is she gets defensive whenever somepony points one of her weaknesses out. For example, if somepony accuses her of having a huge ego, she would say she doesn’t or that her ego is very small.

   

  Nook despite her hyper competitive, show pony nature is very kind, caring, and protective. She is also brave, courageous, daring, and has a strong willingness to help others hence why she decided to become a detective and a lost and founder. She is only all too quick to defend those who cannot defend themselves. In fact, if she were to represent an element of harmony it would be perseverance since she is the type who never quits. She is the only one in her whole family who still believes that her brother is still out there; somewhere alive. She has never once stopped looking for him. She hopes to one day prove every pony else wrong and bring him safely home. Sadly, her refusal to give up comes at a price. Her never-ending search for her missing brother sometimes tends to interfere with her daily life.

   

  As she is a detective she has a strong sense of justice and wants everything to be as fair as possible. As such she despises criminals and doesn’t completely believe in second chances due to having some severe trust issues. She is distrustful towards those with dark, criminal pasts because she believes it will not take much to push them back towards the side of villainy since they have already had a taste for it. In fact, according to her, “Once a criminal. Always a criminal.” Furthermore, she firmly believes that criminals only choose the path of villainy because they are not intelligent enough to do anything more with their sad, pathetic lives. In her mind, if they were actually intelligent they would have used their talents for the betterment of all instead of for just themselves. Her rather extremist views sometimes clouds her own judgment often causing her to take matters into her own hooves. She usually does this by dressing up in a vigilante costume and hunting down criminals herself under the guise of Nightwing and bring them to justice. Her actions and beliefs likely cause her to butt heads with criminals and law abiding citizens alike.

   

  However, as brave as she is, she is still extremely claustrophobic, fears losing control, and fears failure. Mimes also creep her out to a certain degree.

• Likes

  Finding lost things, finding missing ponies, saving the day, being a hero, solving riddles, scavenger hunts, mysteries, attention and lots of it, being in the spotlight, being admired, loved, and respected, the dark, martial arts, duels, boomerangs, Haystralian slang, reading detective stories, Shadow Spade, Daring Do books, listening to music, having support, organization, being listened to and taken seriously, being in control in any situation, her family and friends even though they sometimes drive her crazy, justice, flying fast, her job, sports, exercising, working out, competition, and breaking personal records.

• Dislikes

  How famous her ancestor, Jet Fusion still is and how everybody compares her to her simply because they look the same, the pressure of having to live up to her ancestor's name, crime, criminals, villains, mimes, betrayal, that her older brother went missing and that everybody else seems to have long given up on finding him, asking for help, not getting credit/thanked for what she does, being dismissed as crazy and/or mentally unstable, being called egotistical, not being taken seriously or listened to, losing control, failure, small spaces, long lines, public restrooms, slow moving ponies, and cowards.

• Magic Spells

  None except for typical pegasus abilities such as flight, cloud walking, and weather making abilities.

• Abilities

  Clairvoyance via heightened sense of smell, heightened senses, has an excellent sense of direction, a great tracker, athletic, agile, observant, knows martial arts, good with a boomerang, and good at crime solving.

• Friends

  Rapid Quill; open

• Rivals

  Free Thinker; open

   A Chaotic Mystery - A Mystery RP

   April 13, 2023

   Nook Cranny just let out a tired sigh and nodded when Magloria mentioned she had trouble trusting others. The detective herself also found trusting others increasingly difficult to do. In fact, her only real friend was Rapid Quill, but that is only because he earned her trust and she felt with his nosy reporter skills and charm that they made a pretty good team. “I’m right there with you sister. Sometimes it’s just better to be alone. That way nobody can hurt you,” she agreed though she sounded sad when saying it as though she didn’t totally believe it herself. She frowned when it was clear she had upset Magloria from her worry that she may do something to her own daughter. “Apologies. I guess I was just worried about what you might do; how you might react upon seeing your daughter since you sounded so mad at her. But I understand that you don’t want to talk about it. I won’t persist further,” she quickly apologized wishing that handsome, charming unicorn Rapid were here to help. Nook figured if anybody could get Magloria to open up it would be him. It was almost like he knew just what to say and how to say it to get others to talk. ‘Guess that’s why he’s the reporter and I’m not,’ the detective thought to herself.
    
   Seeing Discord’s head transform into a birdhouse with his tongues sticking through the hole of it the detective couldn’t help herself but snicker some at the mere sight of it. She was trying her best not to burst out laughing since this situation was still pretty serious. But Discord’s admittedly amusing antics were making it rather difficult to concentrate. Thankfully, Discord stopped his antics for a bit. “Thank you,” she told everyone as the room went silent. Holding the pink feather up once more she sniffed it again and her yellow eyes returned to glowing as she concentrated hard on Silky’s whereabouts.

   A Chaotic Mystery - A Mystery RP

   April 12, 2023

   Nook watched with curiosity as a nearby unicorn stallion pulled out his sword and threatened Magloria with it. The detective wasn’t entirely sure how to feel about this. Yes, the baker was wrong to trust Discord of all people with helping her reunite with her missing daughter, but that doesn’t give anypony the right to just attack her. Worried about some pony possibly getting hurt she quickly trotted over to the two and boldly got in between them. “That’s enough! Both of you kindly just stand down please,” she pleaded. She turned specifically to the stallion. “Yes, what she did was wrong and yes so is giving into blackmail. But I’m afraid that in this case we may not have much alternative not if we want to be cured. She just said she wouldn’t cure us unless we helped find her daughter,” she pointed out. She then turned to Magloria eyes narrowed. “Isn’t that what you said? That you wouldn’t help unless we help you first?” She questioned wanting to make sure first. She looked back at the valiant stallion. “I don’t know about you, but I say we just find her daughter quickly and get it over with. Sound good?” She asked him. She looked back at the mischievous baker. “But should we help you, you gotta promise us that you won’t hurt your daughter. I just need to be sure that you wouldn’t do something like that before I willingly bring her to you. It’s just…from your…conversation with Discord you seem pretty mad at her. Do you want to talk about it? I won’t judge,” she promised the baker. She just sighed and rolled her eyes as the baker threatened the unicorn stallion with a sword of her own. “Impressive. But please, no more fighting,” she continued to insist to the both of them.
    
   She let out another tired sigh as Discord marched over and mocked the stallion’s sword before mocking all of them: calling them boring office ponies. Nook just groaned. ’Whatever. I’ve been called so much worse. Was that even meant to be an insult. Pah, like I care what he thinks of me. I don’t even know him,’ she thought to herself crossing both of her hooves and slowly shaking her head in disappointment. Really, she had expected better insults from the lord of chaos. ‘Oh well,’ she thought. ‘Maybe next time.’ A small grin then appeared across her face as she got an idea. She nodded as though agreeing with Discord. But then another pony made it known she was insulted. “Oh don’t mind her Discord. You are totally right. You should definitely leave while the getting is still good. You don’t want to become…boring like us do you? Personally, between me and you I think it’s contagious. Believe it or not I wasn’t always so boring, but then one day it happened and I became…boring! Oh I tried to fight it at first, but then after awhile I just sort of gave up and just kind of went along with it, know what I mean? But yeah definitely leave and don’t come back anytime soon otherwise you might become boring and we don’t want that now do we every pony?” She agreed with Discord. It was her hope that Discord will now think them too boring to mess with and leave them be…for once. In her mind it was the perfect plan. ‘Of course why didn’t I think of this sooner? Discord loves everything chaotic, so if we do the exact opposite we will be much too boring and mundane for him to want to mess with and he’ll leave us alone forever, yay! Personally, I think it was a mistake to reform him. Just look at all the trouble he keeps causing us. If it were up to me I would have left him as a rock. The saviors of Equestria were fools to trust him and so is anybody who is stupid enough to team up with him,’ she smugly thought thinking herself so clever.
    
   Magloria then offered the young detective one of her daughter’s pink feathers. With a small smile Nook eagerly took the feather by her wing to examine it closer. “Thank you for this,” she told her. Narrowing her eyes at the baker she asked, “do you really think she would show herself to me? I am an adult pony and a stranger after all. Would she not find me a. Bit intimidating? But yes I will of course try my best. After all when I make a promise I keep it.”
    
   Suddenly, Nook’s ears flickered like crazy due to the young alicorn using her royal booming voice. A soft doglike whine escaped her and she suddenly found herself retreating under the table. She then peeped out to see what was happening. At this point Pinkie Pie herself walked over to try to talk some sense to every pony. Remembering the feather she gave it a long sniff. Her eyes suddenly glowed yellow as her mind whirled with sights and sounds. She was trying her best to pinpoint a location. As she sat under the table concentrating really hard her eyes kept glowing. Unconsciously, she stepped out from under the table looking as though she were in some sort of self induced trance. “I see…I see…” she began in a soft, cryptic whisper. “I need complete concentration for this to work. Everypony please be quiet. I am trying to see…”
   ooc:  @Princess Siiky Can you please tell me where your character is hiding? Thanks.

   A Chaotic Mystery - A Mystery RP

   April 12, 2023

   Nook let out a frightened squeak as the mystery figure lunged himself tackling her to the floor. Fearing what he might do to her she looked nervously up at him. She watched in amazement as the mysterious stallion magically transformed himself into Discord revealing Pinkie was right about this one. But how did she know? That blue feather really could have belonged to any of the blue pegasi-she wasn't wrong about that. You can't just run around accusing others without any hard evidence. Every great detective knows that. "Pinkie, I hereby retract my previous statement. You were totally right!" she nervously called out.
   Nook Cranny's bright yellow eyes widened and she let out a terrified gasp as Discord seemingly took his anger out on the baker and even though she was his willing accomplice Nook couldn't let Discord do that to her. "No! Wait! Please, what are you..." she shouted, fearful for the baker. Her ears lowered. "doing?" she questioned as she watched Discord ripping out what appeared to be a blue heart right from the baker's chest. Unable to watch the horror she closed her eyes, but only for a moment. When she opened them up again she saw that the baker pony was still alive and seemingly okay. "But didn't you just...? She's still alive? I'm so confused..." she admitted even moreso when the baker just laughed it up like a crazy pony. "Um is she going to be okay?" she asked Discord, feeling disturbed by the scene.
   And what followed was a rather intriguing argument between Discord and the mare. The detective knew better than to get involved and was about to make herself scarce when something in their argument caught her attention. She sighed as Discord mocked her, her ears still lowered. "I know that you can... I'm not a fool! So why didn't you?" she asked softly.
   Nook frowned as it was revealed that they were all affected by poison joke. She wondered how the plant was affecting her. She didn't feel all that different, but she did eat the sweets, so obviously she was affected in some way. Trying to get brave again she took a deep breath and walked over to where the angry mare stood; the one whom Discord used in his prank. She certainly could understand her anger and frustrations at having been used against her will in such a way. No pony deserves to be forced to do something they don't want to do by another. That was slavery and slavery is evil. "Um excuse me, but I couldn't help overhearing your... dilemma. I might be willing to help you find your daughter if you really will keep your promise to fix everypony here including me. I just need something of your daughter's, so that I can...sense where she is," the detective bravely offered. "Please I don't know how this poison joke is affecting me. For all I know it might be affecting my brain making me even more reckless and foolhardy than usual," she added revealing her own concerns. "Trust me I can find her for you. I can find anything. Please just give me a chance," she further pleaded.

   A Chaotic Mystery - A Mystery RP

   April 12, 2023

   Nook Cranny wore a puzzled look on her face as Pinkie went on to claim that the hooded stallion she had pinned to the floor was none other than Discord, the master of all chaos himself; which to her just didn't seem right. "Whoa, whoa, whoa, slow down Pinkie! There are lots of pegasi out there with blue feathers including Rainbow Dash. What makes you so sure that this particular blue feather you discovered belongs to Discord? What makes you so certain that the creep I have totally pinned to the floor is Discord, the master of all chaos? It just doesn't make any...sense Pinkie. Discord's all powerful. He could have stopped me from tackling him to the floor easily if he truly wanted to," she asked in a confused tone, humbling herself some. She then looked back at the hooded figure she still had pinned to the ground and her face softened some. Like most ponies she knew of Discord and she knew of the story of how he came to be reformed by the persistence and kindness and understanding of Fluttershy. She took a deep breath before continuing on. "Look if what Pinkie says is true and you really are Discord in disguise then why did you let me tackle you to the floor like that? You could have stopped me, you know. And why did you team up with the baker to prank everypony? Don't tell me, let me guess, it's April Fool's Day again and I totally forgot? Or did you two do it out of boredom?" she further questioned. Suddenly a moment of realization washed over her. Looking back at the hooded figure she let out an annoyed sigh. "You wanted me to tackle you, didn't you? I still don't understand why though. Was it funny to you or something? Yeah, I don't get it," she admitted in an irritated tone. She hated being used for others' entertainment and that was the fact.
   The pink party planner also asked why he did it. The self righteous detective released the hooded figure and curiously and anxiously waited for his answer. If Pinkie ended up being right and this was indeed Discord in disguise she might be in big trouble should the master of all chaos be angry with her. All the same she kept a close eye on the hooded figure to make sure he didn't try anything funny.
   ooc: I love Detective Pinkie's gifs! They're great!

   A Chaotic Mystery - A Mystery RP

   April 11, 2023

   As Nook continued to stare down Magloria her sensitive ears flickered at the faint sound of a nearby chuckle. And there he was standing before them; the same mysterious hooded stallion from before who started the foodfight. The detective couldn't believe her eyes. The guy actually had the nerve to show up after everything was already said and done. But Nook as a detective already knew why he was there. It was the same old story: he was there to admire the aftermath of the foodfight and to gloat. After all, criminals always returned to the scene of the crime because they are too stupid to do anything else. But did he honestly think he would get away with this? The peach coated pegasus gritted her teeth. 'Sorry not on my watch, buddy,' she thought as she glared intently back at him as though daring him to make another move. Her sensitive ears flickered again as she overheard a shy looking unicorn near her whisper, 'sorry.' "Oh some pony's going to be sorry alright," she retorted as she prepared herself to take out the trash. "And that pony's..." It was at that moment that the self righteous detective acted. With great speed and agility, Nook propelled herself forward towards the stallion with the full intent on pouncing him. "YOU!" she growled as she stood over him. "Ha! Thought you would get away with this, didn't you? Well you didn't because you weren't counting on the likes of me being here to stop your evil plot," she confronted in an accusing tone. "I only have one more thing to say to you, why? Why did you and...and that baker lace the sweets with...with Celestia knows what!? You...you are just so lucky no pony here got hurt! What the two of you did was...was unforgivable! It was reckless endangerment and it was manipulative and I hate it and I hate anypony who stupidly endangers others for their own stupid, selfish entertainment. If somepony had gotten hurt it would have been all your fault! Then what? What would you do then, hmmm...? Well there is no way I am just letting you leave here. I'm personally going to make sure you get the punishment you so rightfully deserve," she confronted with a sneer looking mighty pleased with herself as though she had just vanquished a monster. Feeling all eyes now on her she turned to the crowd as she continued to press onto the stallion to make sure he couldn't get up. "Good thing I was here to save all of you, huh? Why, if I hadn't been here to stop him he might have ran off to do the same exact thing or...worse elsewhere and who knows he might have even gotten away with it. Then again probably not. After all, as everypony knows criminals have really tiny brains. You're welcome everypony," she condescendingly announced looking mighty proud of herself and acting as though she had said nothing wrong in the least. Clearly the detective has her own problems that she really needs to work on.
    
   ooc: Let me know if tackling the mystery stallion wasn't okay and I'll change it. And yes Nook is being 100% serious here lol! She fully believes everything she just said.

   A Chaotic Mystery - A Mystery RP

   April 10, 2023

   Nook just sent the overtly suspicious baker a glare. The overzealous detective didn’t have much patience as it was, but whenever it came to criminals and low lives she had even less. In her mind criminals didn’t deserve forgiveness and second chances. That was just plain foolish and self-destructive to give any criminal a second especially third chances. After all, the criminal could easily take advantage of a compassionate pony’s empathy and then leave them to suffer the consequences of their foolishness. Nook herself wasn’t always so cold. In fact, she used to be pretty empathetic towards others and their needs, but after so many betrayals she just couldn’t take it anymore and so to protect herself from getting hurt ever again she has refused to be so trusting and instead is very guarded. “You know you’re not doing a very good job in throwing suspicion off of yourself, you know that, right? In fact, you’re just making yourself look even more guilty by your pathetic attempt of trying to push suspicion onto others. Well it won’t work! I know you’re behind this prank and I know it wasn’t Pinkie,” she flatly confronted eyes not blinking. She calmly continued. “Pinkie while she does love a good prank looked just as disturbed by all of this as the rest of us. I just can’t see her doing any of this. Plus, what you are doing just isn’t fair! Life is unfair enough as it is without having some pony tricking others into entertaining them. I don’t know about the rest of you, but I hate being used and I hate being manipulated,” she hissed revealing her distaste in injustice and unfair play.
    
   Turning to the pink party planner, Nook smiled at her. “Oh, I don’t think the baker did this on her own. Who’s to say only one of them did it? I say they worked together to make this prank work. Kindly excuse me a moment while I get into the proper wardrobe so that I may better explain,” she cleverly challenged.
    
   Ducking behind some merch she changed her outfit into a more detective looking one such as the one Shadow Spade always wore. Wearing a smug look on her face she stepped back out. “Ah, that’s much better. AS Rarity always says, always dress properly for the occasion and I do love my detective outfit. Anyways, as I was saying before Detective Cranny; which is me is on the case. Now as I was saying, Here’s what I believed happened. The hooded stallion came in here and started the food fight in order to distract the rest of us from his and her plan. While we were properly distracted that’s when she,” Nook then pointed an accusing hoof straight at Magloria before continuing, “slipped either a magical herb or flower into the baked goods while no pony noticed since we were all too busy with the food fight. In their minds it was the perfect plan.”
    
   Nook Cranny then took a breath from her explanations. She then looked back at Magloria. “My only question is why? Why did you and your stallion accomplice do this to every pony? Did some pony here wrong you in some way and you wanted revenge? Or were you just bored or what?” she asked out of curiosity.

   ooc: @Silverspark184 Oh sorry about getting something in my post wrong, but I was busy at work all day today, so I couldn't get to it earlier. I guess when I replied I was excited and misread things. Guess I'm more out of practice than I thought.
    
   bic: Nook looked behind her and saw that she had lost the winged pie. Smirking she rubbed her hooves together in a thoughtful fashion. 'Excellent,' she thought to herself. 'I totally left that winged dessert in the dust! Knew I would! Too easy,' she proudly thought. 'Now to give that alicorn a piece of my mind,' she thought as she lowered herself back to the ground where the silly fun party was. However as she drew nearer she saw that the ponies had stopped partying and were all gathered around Pinkie while their pink host gave what appeared to be a speech. 'Hm, interesting. I wonder what's going on? Must be something big for Pinkie to willingly pause one of her own parties like this. I better go check this out in case there's any trouble. She might need my help. I'm so good at helping sometimes it's scary,' she told herself brimming with self-confidence.
   But there were so many ponies that she found herself pushing herself through the crowd. "Oh excuse me! Pardon me! Let me just get by here will quick!" she mused as she made her way through the crowd who all looked as interested as she. By the time she got to the front she found herself next to none other than the alicorn. She gave her a forced smile. "Oh hey there again. Funny how we keep bumping into each other like this, huh?" she asked in an attempt to sound friendly and not awkward. "Sorry about back there. I can get a little um...competitive at times. On the upside I had fun. How about you?" she asked in an attempt to lighten the mood.
   Her ears lowered as their pink party planner host suggested that their sweets may have been spiked. "Are you insinuating that somepony here spiked the sweets causing us to all laugh and prank each other? Oh my that's not good!" she asked Pinkie. She then overheard the alicorn worriedly tell herself just as much too. She then turned to the alicorn. "Well the one who baked these certainly could be the pony responsible for...all of this. In fact, I distinctly remember her telling me something very...strange before the foodfight got even crazier. She said and I quote, "You know nothing, it's so funny, how little you know!' Because of all of this, that is definitely incriminating. Wouldn't you agree?," she revealed to the alicorn next to her.

   Magloria's words confused Nook. The detective wondered what she could possibly have meant by her claim that she did not know anything. The young pegasus was no Twilight, but she still knew things that some others don't and she took pride in that. How dare this baking pony make such an accusation when she knew nothing about her? Unless she did know something about her and was judging her; just waiting for her to completely screw up so she could mock her? "NO! I won't let that happen!" she all but shrieked. Realizing she had shouted that one out loud she stopped and cleared her throat. Looking straight at the baker she smirked. "You're messing with me, aren't you?" she accused in a confident tone. As the cake flew towards her she waited until the very last moment before side stepping. "Sorry. Gotta be faster than that," she sneered.
   Pretty soon more cupcakes started flying towards her and getting a little annoyed by all this she used her pegasus speed and agility to dodge them. "Sorry too slow! Better luck next time," she called back to the pony that deflected the cupcakes back towards her. Her smug smile dropped once the exposed alicorn cheated by using her magic to transform a cake into a magical pie with wings. "Oh come on that's just cheating," she complained in a whiny tone.
   The speedy pegasus then took to the sky as the cake followed close behind like some annoying, obnoxious fan. "Oh yeah, let's see if your cake can keep up with the likes of me," she challenged in a confident tone. She flew up towards the fluffy white clouds at a super speed and once high enough she started doing loopy loops. Every now and then she would look behind her to see if the cake could keep up or if she had lost it.
   ooc: @Silverspark184 Let me know if the winged cake can keep up or not lol! Also this is fun! Thanks for letting me join!

   From underneath her tree, Nook Cranny watched the chaotic foodfight continuing on all around her. She let out a surprised gasp as the once disguised alicorn pretty much revealed herself to everypony by dropping her hood and using her magic. 'Well so much for it being a big, important secret. In any case at least she can't blame me this time,' the detective thought to herself. Honestly, she was irritated by the whole thing. She flew over to where the cupcakes were while dodging incoming fire. She grabbed herself a couple of cupcakes and with a mischievous look in her eyes she threw them at the alicorn. "Hey little miss secret! Have some cake!" she shouted throwing them at her.
   It was then she started to feel a bit strange. Not bad just...different. It was hard to explain, but she felt strangely jubilated. It started off only as a small giggle and Nook really did try to stop herself, but she soon found herself bursting out laughing. "I'm sorry...I can't! This...this whole thing is just so funny! I just can't help myself!" She was laughing so hard now tears were coming out of her eyes.
   Seeing a conga line starting up, Nook threw more cupcakes their way while laughing. "Haha you all look so ridiculous!" she shrieked while pointing at them and laughing some more.
