Planning a surprise party for @Dynamo Pad

@Samurai Equine @Skylight Scintillate Evelyn would blink "I swear, that stallion never ceases to amaze me" she would say, texting Trilby to come back. She shakes her head and then smiles a little "Well, he's enthusiastic, that's good" she would say, monitoring her handheld monitor. She then looks to Swift "You doing okay over there?" she asks them.

Yeah, just been a bit preoccupied lately. Mental health stuff..

@Samurai Equine @Skylight Scintillate Evelyn just shakes her head but then chuckles "Alright then Trilby, how about you hold the EMF reader and a temperature reader" she would say, handing the two devices to him, before looking to Swift and nodding "Well you're right there, Swift, even in big areas, it's a bad idea to split up" she would say, handing a portable monitor to them "Here, this way we can keep an eye on the motion cameras while exploring" she would say, making her way to the first cold spot, looking at her temperature reader.

@Samurai Equine @Skylight Scintillate Coco would smile "You're very welcome a-and thank you for the compliments" she would say, listening to the others "O-oh dear, that situation does sound dangerous, demons are quite scary" she would say as Rarity puts a hand on hers and smiles "It's alright darling I don't think we have any demons here, and if it is a spirit, then our friends here will help it to cross over to the other side" she reassures her. Evelyn smiles as she looks to her friends "Well Tribly, that's good to hear, as much as I loved Scooby Doo as a filly, this is a lot more serious than a badguy in a disguise" she would say to him and then looks to Swift "Well yes and no, not all spirits will show up on the camera, but if it is what I think it is, then yes, she likely will" she says, then looking a bit more serious to them "As for demonic activity, I would need to contact either the church of Celestia or the church of Luna to get permission to perform a exorcism" - Time skip- After finishing up their dinner and saying goodnight to Coco and Rarity, watching them leave, Evelyn would run Swift and Trilby through everything they needed to do "Alright, luckily, this is a smallish area, so it's great for training the two of you" she would tell them in the van "First off, I put up cameras in various places, some are static motion activated cameras, which I put in areas that Swift had suggested, but I also put up some video cameras in the areas that everyone has said they had seen things being moved, so hopefully we can catch activity on those as well." she begins "I've also set up certain devices in some areas, where if there is spiritual activity it will let us know" she smiles, giving out two headbands with video cameras attached "These will also document everything we do, and now, as it is a small area, there's really no need to split up, thankfully" she then gets out a EMF metre and a temperature reader "this is an EMF metre, if there is any spiritual stuff going on, it will light up, and let us know, as for this, this is just a temperature reader, it will let us know if the cold spots are supernatural or natural" and finally, she gets out the EMP recorder "and this, is a EMP recorder, it will, sort of let us talk to any spirits here, if there are any" she stretches and sips on a can of soda she had opened.

@Skylight Scintillate @Samurai Equine As the four ate, Coco would nod to Swift with a smile "T-that's great to hear, I will be able to get some scarves made for you, maybe..pair them with a pair of flying goggles and a flying suit?" she would suggest, clearly getting excited about her new project. Rarity would smile "Oh my, aren't you a charmer, Trilby darling" she would say with a light giggle, "But thank you, I quite appreciate the compliments" she says, then smiling a bit more, listening to Coco and Swift's discussion "It fills my heart with joy to see Coco so passionate about this, she's been a bit burnt out with her usual proejcts, so this giving her a new passion for fashion, well it's wonderful" she would say, then looking to Evelyn "Oh..oh no, that is sad indeed" Evelyn would nod, "It says it happened 50 years ago, so if it is her spirit, she has been here for quite some time" she'd tell everyone, before continuing "And it would appear that you and I think quite alike, Swift, I've set up some infrared motion cameras in the cold spots, as well some detection devices" she would tell them "We wil still need to go around with EVP devices and our own cameras." she smiles a little "As for what an Annabelle situation is, well..a couple had found a raggedy Anne doll at a thrift store, and bought it for their daughter who was a nurse. At first it was all good, but soon, little things like things going missing, the doll bein in places they were sure it wasn't, started happening. Later, a 'spirit' came to the daughter through the doll, and claimed to be the spirit of a little girl, and so the daughter invited it into their home via inhabitating the doll..only to find out short after, it wasn't a spirit of a little girl, but instead a demon"

@Samurai Equine Rairty would smile as she walked and talked with Trilby "Well you have such a unique style and I think it is quite sad that your hats aren't more widely available" she would say to him, "And I always believe us small business owners should work together. I remember when I first started up, it was so hard to get any business outside of Ponyville" she would say as they soon arrive to her sewing room, where she had plenty of manquins set up with dresses and outfits paired with some of Trilby's hats she thought worked with them. "I might have jumpthe shark a little here" she would say with a light smile. @Skylight Scintillate Coco would look to Swift and nod "W-well, we do think it is a possibility, but most ponies aren't too keen on investigating it unless it is something supernatural" she would say to them, nodding and writing down everything that Swift was telling them "O-oh it's quite alright, I think I understand.. I find accessories like scarves can be quite gender neutral, though they can be a bother with flying, from what I have heard" she says to them. @Skylight Scintillate @Samurai Equine - bit of a timeskip - Evelyn had finally gotten everything they needed set up and the cameras ready to record. They are all sitting around the table, having dinner that Rarity cooked for them. "So, the first thing we will do, is explore the shop and areas around it, inlcuding outside and the upstairs, to eliminate the possibilities of this all being natural and the building just being old" she would say, "How-ever, while setting up everything, I did come across some cold spots that did feel a bit odd. I also did a bit of research, Nothing violent or really bad happened here in the past, but ther was one incident when this was the headquarters for the Midsummer Theatre Revival group where..." she stops for a moment "Where a little filly was playing in the backstage area and a prop collapsed and crushed her.." she says with a sadness to her tone "So, it is possible, her spirit is still around and is jsut lonely and wanting to play" she would say "some poltregeists aren't evil like the ones you see in the movies or read in books, some are just mischevious" she would say to the group. "I've also interviewd most of the employees, and no one has said they have not said to anyone that isn't a customer that they are welcome to the shop, so we can likely rule out an Annabelle situation"

@Samurai Equine @Skylight Scintillate Rarity would giggle a litlte while Coco rolled her eyes at Trilby's antics, before the both of them hugged the purple pegasus, "Evelyn darling, so good of you to come, and with friends as well" Rarity would say, as she and Coco led them into the foyer of the clothing boutique. "first of all, I do not bleieve either of you have been here before" she would say to Trilby and Swift Wings "So, welcome, welcome" she smiles, getting them a seat to sit down on before telling them of the occurences. "It all started about three weeks ago. SOmeof our thigns would either be moved or go missing overnight, and the mares and stalions who work overnight have reported cold spots and strange noies coming from the attic" she would tell them, "Fluttershy assures me that the family of raccoons that used to live here have moved on, so it isn't them" she would tell them as Coco serves them some coffee and nods. Evelyn thinks for a moment "Well, the things going missing or bieng moved could have been blamed on the Raccoons, the cheeky little critters that they are." she would say with a giggle "But since Fluttershy assured you it isn't them, along with the cold spots and noises at night time, could be a spirit residing here or...it could just be that this place is old" she says with a slight chuckle, shaking her head "well, we've got the day to set up, and I'll need to get everything from the van, so why don't you two do the side stuff?" she suggests. Rarity would smile "Excellent idea darling, Trilby dear, why don't you come with me, I would love to discuss selling your hats in my boutique, as I personally have a collection myself" she would say, "and Swift Wings, would you kindly go with Coco, she would love to get your ideas on fashion and accessories for those of the nonbinary persuasion" she says, beginnign to lead Trilby to her office. Coco would smile softly to Swift Wings "Please follow me, we can discuss everything at my station" she would say, leading them to her station, then asking them "Alright, please tell me Swift Wings, what are the sort of things like designs and colors that you look for fashion and accessories in your daily life?" she asks

@Samurai Equine @Skylight Scintillate Evelyn would look to Trilby first "Well..that's up to the both of you, just remember my warning from yesterday" she would say to him with a light chuckle, starting the engine, then addressing the both of her friends "Swift is pretty much spot on then, thankfully it doesn't work that way, in fact, I would be very very worried if it did" she would say "imagine if the Carousel was haunted by maleveolent spirits and the Assylum was haunted by benevelont spirits..chaos!" she giggles softly. as she drove. About an hour later, they would arrive outside the Carousel, where Rarity and Coco Pommel were waiting for them. "Ah, already waiting for us, Rarity is quite punctual" she would say as she puts the van into park and turns off the ignition. "Alright you two, lets get to it, first of all, is collecting all information Rarity and Coco can give us, then we set up the equiptment" she tells them before getting out of the van.

@Samurai Equine @Skylight Scintillate Evelyn couldn't help but giggle at Trilby's reaction to having Caramel snuggle up with him at night "Come now Trilby, old friend, you turned on the charm pretty thick last night, and with her cuddling up with you last night, it shows she really trusts you and feels comfortable around you, which is a good thing" she would say calmly to him as she brusehd her mane and tail. After they had a quick, but filling bite to eat for breakfast, Eve would get her gear and take them to the van. In the van were all her other equiptment, including monitoring and cleansing equipment and multiple hoof written journals of her encounters and evidence. "Welcome to your new home for the next..Celestia knows how long" she would say with a smile, setting up her things "Alright, so as the carousel is here in Town, I can drive, and it should hopefully be a quick job, its the one at the Asylum that I'm worried about, as tehre's a lot of negative history to that place". After the others had settled in, she smiles and begins the drive towards the boutique.

@Samurai Equine @Skylight Scintillate The night went on without incident, save for a certain brown Changeling mare, perhaps sneaking in and deciding to snuggle up with Trilby. Evelyn would soon wake up and as she opens her eyes to see it, she would smile and chuckle gently "Oh dear Trilby, seems you've really gotten her attention" she would say, getting out of her bed and stretching "Well, we'll have breakfast, gather our things and then head out, oh and Swift, Rarity is quite excited to meet you, she says she has some outfits you might like" she says as she brushes her fur, mane and tail.

@Skylight Scintillate @Samurai Equine Evelyn would smile and call out to her two friends "You're both welcome to sleep in my room, I mean, we're all adults and we'll be sharingthe van anyways, so might as well get used to it" she says before getting into her nightwear and slipping under the covers of her bed, getting comfy and warm.

@Skylight Scintillate@Samurai Equine Caramel would giggle and look to her new friends "Well, I don't know about wrapping you in my webs, it could be very difficult to get out of, but..I'll settle for a hug" she says to Trilby and hugs him, then hugs Swift "and I'd love to be good friends with you Swift, perhaps we can go shopping for fashion and accessories together sometime, after you are done with your missions with my sister?" she would ask them. Evelyn would smile as she hears her sister talking to her friends, she would knock on the door "Sis, guys, I'm gonna get ready for bed, we're going to meet Rarity and Coco pretty early in the morning, so would be best for everyone to get to bed soon" she would say before making her way to her room. Caramel smiles, writing down her number and giving it to them "H-here, so you can..keep in touch"

Sure, send the pm

1x1 would probably be best, do you have a oc?

@Samurai Equine @Skylight Scintillate Caramel would blush brightly at Trilby's compliments and do her best to listen to Swift's words, nodding "I-I see, that can definitely be difficult, like..I suppose it could make it hard not to only find accessories and fashion, but what kind of friends you want to have, like..who you want to let into your most inner circle and have them know almost everything about you" she would say to Swift "I..I can understand how that feels, though I guess it doesn't help that my daddy and sis are over protective of me.." she says, looking down a little, before looking back up to speak with Trilby "O-oh yes,. it is okay to ask these questions, and no the holes don't hurt, they're just kind of there.. as for can I make webs, well actually yes I can, daddy says its a silk thread I use. He says it's super strong and can actually be used to make things" she blushes.

@Samurai Equine @Skylight Scintillate Caramel would blush at Trilby's compliments, being oblivious just enough to not know how thick he was pouring on the charm. She would listen "O-oh, well, all that jewelry sounds amazing!" She'd exclaim happily, her tail swaying happily as she would then look to Swift, tilting her head "O-oh you're nonbinary? H-how does that go? I-I mean if it's okay to ask, I've n-never met anypony who is nonbinary before" she wou;d then blush and look down, feeling as if she had asked somethingwrong. Evelyn just chuckles "Hey Caramel, why don't you take Trilby and Swift up to your room, I'm sure that Trilby has some of his wares in his bag that is in my room, I'll do the dishes." she says,. as Caramel looks at them excitedly before wiggling her tail and looking at Alexis "Can I daddy?" she asks excteidly. Alexis just smiles and laughs "Of course sweetie, just keep your door open" he'd say to her, smiling as Caramel would excitedly take Trilby and Swift's hooves and drags them upstairs "O-oh uhm, how about you get the stuff from Evie's room and I'll call you when I'm ready" she says, quickly ducking into her room and closing the door. After about five minutes, she had changed to her true form and calls out to them "Trilby, Swift, I-I'm ready, you can come in"
