Raze made his way to the location described on the letter: a dark alleyway. Here he was supposed to find a dumpster marked with the symbol for the Element of Magic, and drop the CD off inside. He found it, and did exactly as he was told to do. He took the mask off, sighing in relief. He had been through a lot in the past few hours. He figured he might as well take it easy for now. Maybe visit his marefriend in Manehattan... That's right... I need to do that today, he thought, walking out of the alleyway. The train station wasn't far from here. He decided to go and take the next train to Manehattan.

Chrysalis reveled at the potent energy being given to her. "Yes... this is quite good. This will do nicely..." Suddenly, a changling burst through the door. "My queen! Urgent news! One of our bases of operation... it was... completely wiped out! While it was a small one, the changlings there were holding information vital to us!" The queen stood on her feet when she heard this. "What?! By who?!?!" "We don't know!" The queen took a deep breath, then sat back down. "Very well. Send a clean-up crew to dispose of the bodies and recover any other important information. Now!!" The changling bowed, then left. The queen sighed in frustration. "It's the work of that 6 Elements group, I know it! Sending their secret pawns to do their dirty work, while masquerading as a peaceful organization with their pitiful protests! This is one snake whose head I will crush personally... and SWIFTLY!!!" She stomped her hoof on the ground.

The challenger, snarled in anger, but reluctantly accepted. "Very well," he grunted, then left. Chrysalis sat up, proud of her daughter. "Well, it seems you'll make a fine Queen one day. Though I would've liked to see the bout take place right now... I could use a bit of... entertaiment." She sighed. ----------------- Meanwhile... ----------------- Raze made his way up the stairs and around a corner, where he saw a Changling grunt. Fully powered by the adrenaline rush from the fight downstairs, he didn't hesitate to swing the pipe he had at him, bashing the Changling's skull in. It fell to the floor with a hard "thump". He then saw three other Changlings around a table, one of them dressed in a long trenchcoat. The other two, seeing one of their own killed before their eyes, ran towards Raze, one wielding a bat, the other a knife. The wielding grunt attack first, which Raze blocked with the pipe. He then kicked the knife grunt in the chest, then quickly pushed the bat out of his way, countering with a quick blow to the Changling's neck, which snapped from the force. The one with the knife tried to get back up, but Raze quickly brought the pipe down on his head, killing him instantly. Suddenly, the Changling in the trench coat pulled out a small pistol, and fired one shot at Raze. He quickly ducked, just enough for the bullet to miss him and hit the wall. He quickly threw the pipe, which the Changling in the nose. He winced in pain as blood began to flow from it, dropping the gun. Raze quickly picked up the knife and ran up to him, slicing his throat, watching him sink slowly to the ground, the blood flowing everywhere. Raze checked his surroundings. All clear. He then looked at the table in front of him, and sitting on top of a stack of papers was a CD in a case with a bit of blood on it. He picked it up, then put it in his jacket. Now to go to that location... he thought, quickly making his way out.

@Midnight_Aurora Chrysalis was busy with managing the kingdom when she looked up and saw Crysteel. "Ah, yes. Hello, my daughter. In fact, there is one challenger, who has been eager to face you..." She looked at the guards. "Bring him in." The guards did as they were told, and in came a large looking Changling. He looked very strong, very well built for a Changling. He looked at Crysteel, anger in his eyes. "Do your mother proud," Chrysalis said to Crysteel as the challenger approached. "Say your prayers, asshole," he hissed at her, circling around her.

15 minutes later, Raze had arrived at the location. It was a pretty small building, with only two floors including the ground floor. He looked around. No windows, so he couldn't see what was going on. He sighed, then looked at the mask he was carrying. I'm looking for a CD... he thought, then looked at the front door. Guess I should put this on. Maybe whoever's inside won't know I'm here for it unless I do. He put on the bear mask, then went inside... The first thing he saw was a Changling, up against a door, minding his own business. He looked up, and saw Raze. "Uh... I'm here for a--" Raze was trying to say, but suddenly, the Changling hissed at him, then charged at him. Raze was shocked, but knew immediately what to do. His Royal Guard instincts kicked in, and he moved quickly out of the way. The Changling, having no time to react, ran into the wall. Raze quickly did a back kick, ramming the Changling's face into it, knocking him out. A bit of blood ran down the wall. He was surprised. "What..." was all he could say. He thought this would be a simple handover.... What was he really dealing with here? He slowly walked towards the door the Changling was guarding, and opened it. It was a bathroom, with another grunt washing his hooves. Turning around, he saw the masked stallion along with the Changling up against the wall. He quickly grabbed a steel pipe next to him, and ran towards Raze, swinging it at him. He quickly raised his hoof against the Changling's hoof holding the pipe, stopping it mid-swing. He grabbed the pipe with the other, and yanked it out of the Changling's grip, then swung it at him, hitting him in the face. The grunt slumped over, skull appearing to be broken, unmoving. Raze looked around. Everything seemed to be clear. Then, realizing what he did, he froze. He just killed a Changling. If the authorities found out, he was a goner. No... he could make it. He just needed to find the CD, then get out before anyone noticed. He walked out of the bathroom, then up a set of stairs. So these guys are guarding it then... he thought, gripping the steel pipe. Well, the guys who sent me that letter are watching... who knows what they'll do to me if I don't get this CD... whatever it is.

Yes, no one will be doing the same thing first. Everyone should have their own location to go to.

Yeah, you can make up your own mission. Everyone will be doing there own thing, but after that, you can start interacting with others, if you wish.

Hm, I'm not really sure about the goggles, seeing as though you'll have an animal mask on...

Yeah, I can do that.

Yeah, I think I can accept this! I'm going to assume you will be the "Evan" of the RP? (Even was a character in Hotline Miami whose style revolved around not killing anyone, except in cases where he would get super angry.)Anyway you're in! Thanks for joining. Also, will you be in Canterlot or Manehattan?

Hm, that does sound interesting. We could try that, yeah.

Topic is up! http://mlpforums.com/topic/125211-hotline-equestria/ You can make up your own letter and answering machine message. You can also state the date and time and place, if you want, to make it feel like Hotline Miami.

OOC Link As the mail pony made his way to his last house in Ponyville, he sighed in exhaustion. It was late afternoon, and soon lowlife ponies and Changlings would probably be out in the streets, running amok and causing chaos. Much changed since Equestria lost their little war with the Changling Empire. Princess Celestia surrendered almost immediately when she heard that Phillydelphia was bombarded by Changling magic, costing thousands of lives and wiping out the place completely, not a single trace of it to be found. She and the other princesses succumbed to the Changling Queen's commands, and formed an "alliance" they called the Changling-Equestrian Coalition. Now Equestria became a shell of its former self, putting the Changlings in complete control over the Equestrian Empire. Some alliance, he thought, approaching the house he needed to deliver to. He reached into his bag, and pulled out a parcel, the seventh one he delivered today. What was in these things and who was sending them, he didn't know. What he did know was that as the days went by, he found himself delivering less letters ams spam mail, and more of these things. He also noticed that these parcel began to show within weeks of that mysterious "6 Elements" group showing up. Did these have something to do with them? He didn't really care. He was paid to give ponies their mail, not ask questions. Let that group keep doing their protests and spitting out their propaganda the mail pony thought, dropping off the parcel. I've got a job to do... He quickly made his way home... 8:30 A.M. April 24, XXXX Ponyville, Equestria Raze woke up slowly, the sun coming through the window in his room. He made his way downstairs to make himself some breakfast. Ever since the Royal Guard sent him back home after the war, he felt a mix of emotions. Disappointment that they lost. Sorrow that some of his friends that he fought with never made it back. A bit of anger at himself, feeling that he didn't do enough. But he also felt peace, knowing that he wouldn't have to go back and fight again. He had enough of fighting... After he was done eating, he checked his answering machine. He picked up the phone. "You have one new message," it said, before beeping and playing it. "Hi, this is the Ponyville Bakery. The donuts you ordered should be outside your door. We also left a list of ingredients inside. Make sure you read them carefully!" The message ended. Donuts? He didn't remember ordering any donuts. He went outside. It was a beautiful day, but it was ruined by the damage some of the Changlings caused to the town. Some of the stores were ransacked, and some property was vandalized. He shook his head. If only there was someway they could fight back... He looked around. Nothing. He was about to go back inside, when suddenly his hoof hit something on the ground. He looked down, finding a parcel. He slowly picked it up, and brought it inside, setting it on the kitchen table. Who the hell ordered donuts for me in my name? And why are they in a cardboard box? he said, opening it. What he found wasn't donuts at all. Instead, it was a mask, a bear mask, to be exact. "What the... is this a joke?" he asked himself, taking the mask out, finding a letter underneath. The "ingredients," he thought. He read it aloud. "Your target is a CD, located in a building at NW 234 Main Street. Discretion is of the essence. Drop it off at the location marked on the back of this paper. Memorize it, then destroy this message. Look out for any messages left on your answering machince after today. Go to exactly where they tell you to go. We will be watching." Raze didn't know what to make of this. Who sent this to him? Was this a joke, or was it real? He looked at the mask on the table. Only one way to find out... he thought, taking the mask. He put on a leather jacket, then left the house.

So, I'm thinking of actually starting now, since it seems like we have enough people as it is. I'm putting Mariposa in charge of Ponyville amd Moon Crypt in charge of Manehattan. We'll split Canterlot amongst thetwo of them, until we find another one who wants to join. Also, I forgot to mention this, but Bosses may also be in charge of any grunts that the Operatives are facing. For example, if I'm in Ponyville, and I say that I'm heading to a building there, you can take control of the Changlings inside, say where they're going and how many will come to attack me, etc. Another thing: Operatives, if you want your OC to have a special perk (lethal punches, he/she starts out with a special weapon), go ahead. i only ask that you make it unique, and not OP.

Okay, you're in!

@Pripyat Pony Sure, you're accepted! Also yes, I would prefer Clover be a unicorn, instead of an alicorn. Now, would you like to be in Canterlot, or Manehattan?

Ah, there you are! How's it going? Tbh, I'd like it if you could play both. I mean, I'd like to see both of them again (they're pretty entertaining OCs) @Twinkfeather You're accepted! Where would you like him to start, Ponyville, Canterlot, or Manehattan?

Btw, @Hurricane, I think I said at one point Royal's spell takes a least five minutes to start up before it can be used. I was thinking maybe you could use that time to fool the others into not using it, saying how it might kill her or something; kind of like in the movies when the demon possessing the person hides behind the person's true personality to make it seem like what they're doing is wrong so they can fool them and strike back.

Sure, whatever you think would fit. You're in! Also I need to know: will your oc be in Ponyville, Canterlot, or Manehattan?

Link to RP After fighting a long and hopeless war with the Changlings, the empire of Equestria surrendered willingly in order to prevent more lives from being lost. Both sides agreed to form the Changling-Equestrian Coalition, an alliance that would ultimately make Equestria a puppet kingdom to the now-expanding Changling empire. With Chrysallis in command, Celestia and the rest of the Princesses are put in a position in which they can do nothing to loosen her grip on Equestria. Now, the Changling army has set up multiple bases around Equestria, including places such as Ponyville, Manehattan, and Canterlot, where their main base of operations is located. It seemed as if there was nothing that could be done, until a mysterious organization known as the 6 Elements began to make itself known to the public via mysterious fliers sent to ponies' houses. A patriotic organization, the fliers talked about the citizens of Equestria rising up and restoring the Princesses to their rightful place on the throne, along with a sign up sheet to their group and a subscription to their monthly newsletter. While it seems harmless at first, those who fill up the form and join the group are met with an unexpected surprise: mysterious messages are left on their answering machines, along with parcels containing an animal mask and a letter containing a location and a set of instructions. As a recent 6 Elements member, you wake up one morning to find the same messages on your answering machine and mask at your front door. Do you leave it behind and delete the message? Or do you take the mask and go where the letter takes you? Operatives (The ones who receive the messages. Their goal is to wipe out the Changling Army and defeat the Bosses. They will be at three towns/cities located around Equestria) Ponyville: 1. Raze (My OC) 2. Imaia Steelwings (IllusivePony) 3. Twinkfeather (Twinkfeather) Manehattan: 1. Dodge Viper (Inference) 2.White Rose (Magos Amphrose) 3. Canterlot: 1. Clio Corvette (Also Inference) 2. Clover (Also Pripyat Pony) 3. Chrysteel (Midnight_Aurora) The Changling Army Bosses (The ones who oversee the army operations. Their goal is to stop the 6 Elements from destroying their headquarters and defeat the Operatives that stand in their way. There is one boss for every city. I prefer changling OCs for this, however, you can use non-changling OCs who are loyalists to the Changlings as well.) 1. Mariposa (Pripyat Pony) 2. Moon Crypt (Also Magos Amphrose) 3. Rules: 1. No godmodding 2. Operatives can meet other Operatives outside of their respective city, and also roleplay outside of it as well. This also goes for Bosses. The cities are only there as a means of giving the RPer a starting point in the roleplay. 3. This might not happen, but romance is allowed in this. No NSFW stuff, of course 4. No Mary Sues/Gary Stus 5. While this is based on Hotline Miami, which is a brutal game, this is a public forum with rules, so please don't be too graphic when depicting scenes of violence. 6. Have fun!

Royal, with the approval of the others, pulled out his black spell book, and quickly flipped it to a particular page. "Alright... let's begin. This won't be long..." He cleared his throat, then began to mutter an incantation in an incomprehensible dialect, and the pattern around Hurricane began to glow faintly.

Quickdraw stood up, bleeding out a bit, but showed no signs of pain. "I'm fine!" he said to Bliss, moving past her and firing a few stray shots at Hurricane to warn her. Royal overheard Clover and Bliss talking about joining horns to dispel magic, and suddenly had an idea. "Wait! I got a better idea..." he said to both of them. He drew three cards and imbued them with the same spell: the chain trap. He focused on Hurricane, and quickly threw one chain card at her. Chains quickly sprouted from the ground which held her down. He then threw the second, and the third, until she was secured in a cocoon of chains, with her head the only part of her body visible. With that done, Royal took out a small piece of chalk from his coat pocket, quickly drawing up a pattern on the ground surrounding Hurricane, while also placing cards on open circles within the pattern. When he was finished, he stood up. "This gives me an opportunity to use that purification spell I showed y'all," he said to everyone. "If this works, she should be free from the Keeper's possession, which also means we can use this to destroy the actual Keeper as well. We'll use your other spell as a backup. What do ya say?"

Royal quickly threw one card in the direction of the knife, though it missed by mere inches, grazing the steel blade. He was about to dodge it, when suddenly Quickdraw stepped in front of him, taking the hit for him. He grunted in pain. "Well? Don't jus' stand there!" he said to Royal. The card master nodded, and quickly spun around him, throwing three more cards at Hurricane, then proceeded to throw more at a quick pace, not trying to hurt her, but to distract her long enough to think of a plan.

Royal had no time to react when he was assaulted by Hurricane, the cards from his Solitare spread scattered in all directions. "I knew it..." he said quietly, slowly reaching for his card holder, and silently drawing a card. He imbued it with a small teleportation spell, which would bring him to wherever the card was thrown. He quickly threw it to the far end of the cave, and activated the spell, quickly blinking to safety. "That's some grade-A corruption magic there..." he said, quickly drawing cards from his holder. Quickdraw, abruptly awoken from the quarrel, looked around quickly, watching Hurricane attack Royal. Thinking he had gone traitor once again, he drew his gun on him. "You really haven't changed one bit... A mighty fine act you've put on, Flush, you really had me going... but no more..." "I think you oughta take a closer look at the situation," Royal said to him, not taking his eyes off Hurricane. The gunner looked at the possessed pegasus, and saw she wasn't acting normally. "What in tarnation..."
