J.R.

May the lord be with you and also with you. I'll be praying for you all.

Ice shrugged, pointing a hoof at Ticktock. "Hey, hey, hey. I'm just saying...dude more or less has a point with what he's saying." He said,firmly not really all that impressed by their attitude either. "So why don't we just mellow out a bit, and get down to business, eh?"

"..That's not a good--anyway..." Ice looked around at the new scenery. The talk of weakness didn't really get to him, but there was something surely odd about this place. That or maybe he was overthinking it. Regardless, first impressions were always the lasting ones. "I wonder what a changeling would be doing around a place like this."

Ice tapped his hoof on the table. This new job seemed much less...exciting than the last. But hey, anything was better than sitting around all day. Though, what Ticktock asked did make him raise an eyebrow. Why an escort all the sudden? "Yeah, who and why exactly?"

"As a matter of fact I did," Ice responded to Tyra before looking over to see the unicorn. "Hold up--we better get over there," he said before making his way over to the table where the others were already seated. Patiently, he waited to be filled in on why they were brought back.

@@Mentis Soliloquy, I want in again this year.

Ice of course, didn't expect Tyra to be barreling across the bar. Even though there was literally no one else there, it was still a surprise. "Ah! Hey!" He yelped, finding himself tackled to the floor. "It's uh, great to see you too. Heh..." He sat up to hug her, "So you're here too huh?"

Ice made his way up to the tavern counter, and looked at the keeper. "Eh? Oh, just some cider for me," he said casually, not trying to attract attention. This place was strange to say the least, and Ice knew it. Something about it just seemed to be…off. Or maybe he was overthinking it…

@@Blitz Boom, Vera blinked. Now there was two of them. Great. Now her cover was blown and she had to deal with whoever these ponies were. Fun. But regardless, she couldn't focus on them. There were more important things to handle at that moment. ​"Uh, excuse me? I'm trying to figure out what's going on as well, so if you could..."

After a while, Ice made his way into the tavern as well. It was crowded, and hard to maneuver around the constant flourish of servers and ponies trying to find a place to sit. Soon, he did find an empty seat up at the bar's counter, and promptly took it. Because of the crowd, though, he couldn't really see anyone.
