Kronos the Revenant

@Samurai Equine

Kronos notices the interloper has some irregular bulge in his jacket. He pinned the pony onto the ground with two swords crossing over his neck. He began to rapidly interrogate him. 
 

“What’s in your jacket? Who sent you? How did you get those termites in there unnoticed?”

Umm, does this have anything to do with sports?

I never smelled anything weird with the store itself, but in some RESTROOMS, one time i smelled someone doing CRACK in the neighboring stall while i was on the porcelain throne.  

Nope. Im all for physical intimacy, no matter how frequent. Physical intimacy doesnt bother me at all. 
 

Same. 

@Samurai Equine

What the hell!? Kronos thought as he saw the termites eating away at the material.

He quickly shot his head up and tried to follow the masked interloper. He pulled out a sword that segmented into many parts kept together with a chain. He whipped it around and skillfully wrangled one of the perpetrator’s hind legs. 
 

“GET OVER HERE!!!!” he demanded as he yanked the whipsword towards him. “Who are you and how did you manage to sabotage this stock?”

I live my social life perpetually assuming that anyone i look at hates me just by looking at me.

Jon nods. "Understood, Mr. Kronos. We'll let you do your business." He gives Kronos a dossier before he goes.

It basically summarizes everything.

• The store's crafting house should only have 12 authorized ponies who make furniture for Jonny's.
• Jonny's receives construction material shipments via delivery wagon in the morning.
• Daring Decor receives their construction material shipments via delivery wagon in the evening.
• The owner of Daring Decor is a bitter, jealous pony. Always has been.

Looks like there are many possible ways to begin the investigation.

 

Kronos decides to begin his investigation with the morning shift. He started by watching the delivery wagon from a distance and watching who was at the store. He switched his eyepiece for x-ray and face scanning to identify who was there. Sure enough, his head count went up to twelve ponies. Nothing too much out of the ordinary there. 
 

He also strolled by to take a few more pictures of the stock in the wagon. It wasnt until he used his x-ray vision to scan the materials that were both unloaded and kept in the wagon that he halted things. 
 

“Wait a minute.” Kronos stated imperatively while holding up an arm. 
 

He scanned the unloaded boxes one more time and scanned the boxes kept in the wagon. 
 

“Before this wagon goes off,” Kronos told Jon, “Open up one of these boxes.” He then went into the wagon and picked up a box in the back, gently placing it down and told him, “Then open up this one. A good business pony, no matter their craft, must always be wary of the quality of the materials they’re being provided.” 

Ahh, yes. My first make out with her. It was something to truly savor. Our love was like that of Romeo and Juliet, forbidden by our families, which made it exciting. 
 

Same.

”Kronos is the name,” he answered, “and if im to shut this sabotage down, im gonna have to wait until they get their next shipment, and preferably work in the shroud of darkness. So, payment will have to wait until the job is done. It’s just my principle.” He looked back and took a look at the exterior of the rival shop for any possible vantage points, even looking around the shop to find other objects that could conceal his movements. 

@Samurai Equine

As the ponies explained the reasons for suspected sabotage he adjusted his limbs for espionage and made modifications to his armor. He even tinkered with his eyepiece to have enhanced night and thermal vision for his upcoming mission. 
 

“I hope you dont mind....” he requested as he went up to the furniture pieces and scanned them, “Hmm.....” He nodded and looked around. He touched one of the pieces of furniture the pony told him about, and sure enough it fell apart. He inspected the material that was utilized. It was extremely soft, definitely not the kind of material any pony with even a hint of common sense would use. “Ever considered galvanizing? It reinforces material to allow them to resist many forms of degradation.”

He then went over to the rival furniture store. When he went inside, he had to regain his bearings because those ponies were right, the pieces in this store were so similar to theirs that he thought he circled back into the same exact store. He examined each piece that was there as if he were window shopping. 
 

Sturdier laminated wood? he thought, Brass fastenings that are flush with the foundation? This looks like very masterful craftsmanship. 
 

He walked around and cased the store. He discreetly took photos of his examinations with his eyepiece. 
 

He came back to the initial store with pictures of his preliminary findings. “So far,” he told them, “the furniture in their store seems very masterfully crafted. Im talking the works: laminated woodwork, flush fastenings and a foundation that seems to mesh perfectly. If i’m to determine possible sabotage, im gonna have to check their stockroom at night, see if it’s consistent.” And to be sure that his photos didnt seem edited in any way, his photos taken were always timestamped. 

@Samurai Equine

Kronos nodded as the ponies introduced themselves. When they explained their dilemma, Kronos willingly followed them. 
 

Humph, Kronos said to himself, It’s been a while since we’ve had to track someone or something down. 
 

Plus, a voice replied, we get to get a glimpse of what some of the cultural pieces are like here. 
 

Umm, sure.

Sorry for slowness. I'm incredibly stressed and my future in life is pretty uncertain rn...

Don't worry though, I'm in this to the end. I just hope I'm not inconveniencing anypony 

Im facing the same existential crisis of contemplating the purpose and value of my continued existence.  

@Samurai Equine

Kronos looked at the pony with a suspicious squint, tilting his head to the side. 
 

Seems like a shady bunch, he says to himself, but it’s a job their offering, and i dont really say no to a job. 
 

“Where and when?” Kronos inquired the citizens. 

@Samurai Equine

Kronos looked up from his zither to come eye to eye with the citizens. He stopped his instrument, kicked it upward and sheathed it on his back. 
 

“Sure,” Kronos replied to the citizens, “Ask me whatever you want.”

Would you like some help with that?
I can provide an activity with NPC characters. 

Sure, if you can.

If anyone has colored pictures of their OCs I can make small headshots out of them (I’m kinda bored, that’s why I’m offering). I’ll only post them here for the people that want them, the pictures won’t go anywhere else unless you do something with them (if you do post them make sure to credit me).

here, try mine

All my character is doing is playing with his zither and discreetly using it as a weapon. 

Kronos heard some of the denizens of the town begin to stir about. He continued to pluck at his zither, making some lighter gusts of wind that weren’t lethal. He made gentle twangs at his peculiar instrument and made the leaves and petals near him swirl around him in a beautiful typhoon of color. He kept the calm beat and tune of his zither consistent. He didn’t want to risk injuring anyone.
