@Illiad Easle I am interested in continuing, was wondering what happened to you.

@Illiad Easle I should be fine to do something new in a couple of days to a week. I just need to take a little bit of a break myself, and then we can discuss things more in detail. In the meantime I'll see if I can come up with any ideas.

I usually like to wait until everyone else replies.

@Skylight Scintillate @CocoCody There was a rather long pause in silence as Magnolia considered the options here - before she would let out a sigh. "I would be willing to give you all a chance - to fix the damage that you caused to me." Magnolia said, looking at her parents with somewhat of a glare. At least she was willing to give them a chance. It was something she never thought she would be able to do personally - but she wanted to give them a chance. No use in further hurting or pain here, if it could be helped. "We are family." Magnolia would add, which suggested she considered friends and family two different things.

@Catpone Cerberus As Noctuna read more about science, she would find out more information on the moons. There were multiple of them. 7 Moons in fact. The largest and main of them all was simply called "Celina", and as she had seen already it had a white-gray color, not unlike the moon she was used to The second of them was slightly smaller than the main one and was not currently visible. It was more of a yellow-brown color and it was named "Sarnap". Whatever that name meant, it didn't seem like there was a description of it as Noctuna had read about it. The third moon was the same size as the second and had a dull orange coloration, and was named "Harvest". The fourth was a blood red in color and seemed to be viewed negatively for whatever reason, perhaps for it's color and what it represented. It was named "Canen" What was interesting, were the 3 other moons. Neither of them were described as spherical in shape, and looked much like lumps of rock - all gray in color. It was said that one of them, named Peris was the fasted of them all - and crossed over the sky once every couple of hours or so. They hadn't seen it, but it was said that it was real easy to miss because of how small it was and how often it gets caught in the glare of the Sun during the day. Because of how close it is said to be to the world, it is only visible in the hours immediately after dark before the shadow of the planet covers it during the peak of night. The other two were said to be regularly visible during the night, but were nowhere near as impressive as the others were. Their names were Larken, and Horbin. The more Noctuna read about them, she would see that there was a description of how long it took for each moon to complete a full cycle, listed in terms of length. There were also drawings of each moon, as Earth ponies had rudimentary telescopes to observe things with, though it was stated that not much detail could be made out about the moon Horbin because of how visibly small it was. At least the names were what the Earth ponies gave those Moons. Peris - About 9 hours. Larken - 5 days. Horbin - 11 days. Celina - 25 days. Sarnap - 32 days. Harvest - 41 days. Canen - 52 days. Seeing all of this would make Opaline realize that the Earth Ponies so far, would not at all be a viable option to set up a base of power. They were stubborn and refused to listen to leadership on multiple occasions, including even their own leaders. No elections, nor anything at all resembling what she had seen in Equestria. In Equestria for example, there were still elections at a local level. There was none of that at all here. Seeing no recognizable names at all here, even considering the fact that one of her enemies - Sunny Starscout was an Earth Pony, made Opaline think that trying to find her enemies alternate versions here completely pointless. It may be that they lived centuries ago, or perhaps never existed. Opaline would consider it a foolish effort to waste time trying to find them, and so she'd abandon and thoughts of doing so. With how the ponies were divided and viewed the other race, it actually made it a lot harder for Opaline to think of how to get involved in either of them. She has wings and a horn, so the Earth Ponies wouldn't want her. Unicorns wouldn't want someone with wings. Pegasi wouldn't want someone with a horn. It frustrated her, and actively made her grit her teeth upon realizing this. While Opaline fully acknowledged herself as being arrogant and tending to show off a lot, all of that would seem to have been pushed aside by these realizations. Opaline would then put those books away and head towards Earth Pony fiction. Perhaps even in fiction, there could be references to Alicorns or powerful beings like herself. After all, fiction had to be inspired from somewhere.

@Catpone Cerberus Sombra was satisfied with Una's explanation and maintained silence until they were close to the Alley outside of the Guard Headquarters. "Right. We were here before and I searched the place, but I did not go through the entire building. Since I am here, I have some of those brainwashing devices to use on the elite of the guard here. Taking control of Ponyville through Mayor Mare is complete, One of the Elements is dead, the other is before you as you see now. Now it is time to seize control of the Elite Guard and find out the location of the physical Elements of Harmony so that they may be destroyed." Sombra stated with determination. "You could wait here in the Alley while I go in, but, something tells me that wouldn't be a good idea and that perhaps Flint would be able to find you." he said, furrowing his brows.

@Blitz Boom (Spectra) "If anything happens to me, you will go down with me. My success is your success. You just happened to be the one I grabbed because I was in a rush. If it makes you feel any better, - you are safe." Spectra said in a sort of way to try to get Yuma to at least be quiet or go along with her words. Hearing that voice in the back of her head was sure something to annoy her. Perhaps this whole thing was a mistake. Though there was no going back. Thriceborne had likely cut her old body apart to be used for whatever it were going to be used for. There was going to eventually be a point that Yuma would fully submit to her. It had to happen eventually in Spectra's eyes. She was trapped within her mind and would be unable to resist or do anything no matter how hard she tried. Spectra had opted to go around Deltrot entirely. Even if it may take a bit longer to get there than she waned, she would opt to avoid the risks of being potentially caught. The rate at which they were moving would hopefully make up for the difference. The boat seemed rather sturdy and able to carry them all just fine. Usually a boat wouldn't move this fast - since a pony wouldn't be physically capable of doing that. Spectra wasn't going fast to the point to where the boat would risk coming apart though. With all the adrenaline in her body, she would set herself to stay awake for the whole trip to Troy. Something that wouldn't be out of the realm of possibility for her - considering the sort of missions she has done before. At least by this point, they were a good ways away from where they were before. It wouldn't be something the Equestrian Guard would expect anyway - Spectra being in the body of Yuma, on a boat with a piece of machinery from another dimension ready to go to a foreign nation for refuge. Likely the Equestrians were still expecting an attack in Canterlot as of this point. ====================================================================== (Spoiled Rich) Spoiled had no issue letting Jargon take what he needed from her - she only needed the credentials and various records proving that it was in fact her, incase anyone had any doubts about it. Usually she wouldn't have an issue with him being at her side - but this was a one off exception to that. She needed to set things straight on her own and didn't need anyone else distracting her. It was nothing personal. Spoiled had fired many who work for her in the past - Jargon just happened to be around the longest because of how he conducted himself. A proper worker, he was. "Just tell me where my Husband and my Daughter are. You've been in the dark all this time, so let me run it by you. 3 years ago when I was away in Canterlot, an Equestrian Villain by the name of Spectral Fade burnt down my property, abducted me to use me as a living battery - the same one who blew up the Green Mountain range." Spoiled had spoken in a more rushed manner as if she was more than eager to get inside the house. It became very clear to her that they weren't here, so she had all the time in the world to get things set straight with Randolph so he would be up to date on things. "You are no doubt aware of the disaster that has happened within the past two days. An entire mountain, obliterated, overloading Equestrian resources. Despite this, my new Estate is now going to be under construction come tomorrow morning. I got things set with Legal Jargon, take a look." she spoke as she took out the briefcase that proved that this was indeed Spoiled Rich. "I also spoke to him about having a bunker put underneath the house here. Of course my Husband will need to approve of such a thing, but I want a bomb shelter built here as soon as possible. A war could break out tomorrow for all I know." Spoiled stated with narrowed eyes. "You know what this means, don't you?" "We need to prepare for war." Spoiled said, she was understandably paranoid about what could happen here. The mare wasn't going to take no for an answer. She needed to know where her family were, and then they could discuss what has happened in the past 3 years she has bene gone for.

That is good to hear!

You are very good at drawing! I love your art.

@Illiad Easle I hope that goes well. When you make your decision, we can discuss our final options for our characters and what will be done with them.

@Illiad Easle Just checking in on you. How are you feeling RP wise lately? Are you still interested in doing a sequel to this thread or do you think we should go with something new?

You deserve the raise, I am proud of you!

@Blitz Boom (Spectra) Spectra merely sat there, looking over at Operata as if not really caring what he thought about it. Spectra knew Operata likely wasn't at all pleased by his arrangement with her, but she knew that he had no choice. If he was to go against her authority, she would merely put him back into line one way or the other. As she sat there, she'd observe as the boat was making its way towards Troy. The zebra said it would be a 3 day trip - but that was at a normal speed, and the rate they were going at was above average. Sure, it was a bit of a magic drain - but given the circumstances it was more than wise to leave Equestria as soon as possible. Operata still had use for her - he had a lot of knowledge. One day perhaps, that use would come to an end. They weren't at that point yet. Operata had a unique role at her side, and sure while she had many work for her before - some directly, it wasn't quite like this. Spectra had all the power over him. On some level, Spectra knew that what she had done - and will do had made it so she is unlikely to get any freedom if she were captured. Still in her mind, she was a hero, and was doing this for Equestria's sake. Spectra was doing this to free the ponies from the Alicorns reign. Some damage was needed, it was war after all. "Oh, but you see - they don't know anything about me. The face they would see in the newspapers is no longer mine. Troy is at war with Equestria. We have similar goals. Your Alicorn rulers have oppressed you for far too long and now it is time for you to be liberated under Trojan hooves. Think of me what you wish, I am doing this all for Equestria. The explosion in the Mountain? I rigged that, sure, I am guilty, but the ones who caused it to go off? Your own Equestrian Guard. Once I find a better source of magic, I don't see any reason to not let all my captured ponies go. You have a front row seat. Within your own mind. Rejoice." of course Spectra was lying somewhat there - but whether Yuma would believe her or not was another story. Though it was not too far from the truth, Spectra did genuinely believe that she was 'liberating' the ponies from the Alicorns. The ones who failed to help her. Who failed everyone by letting them suffer. Sure, Spectra couldn't save the world and everyone's ails, but she thinks she is capable of at least trying more than the Monarchy, with a better system at place. Although of course she saw nothing wrong with what she had been doing, and is now planning to do. Ignite a Great War that Equestria would be unable to win against. That was the goal. That was a long way away though. They had to get there first. ====================================================================== (Spoiled Rich) Spoiled Rich would offer a sort of snort sound to what Jargon had said there. "Of course they'd keep something like that to themselves, however for now the best that I will get will be indeed countermeasures. I am sure something like that exists. It better." she said, not being all the pleased with the information that was presented. Jargon wasn't at fault, it was the way the Royal Guards did thing sometimes that got on her nerves. Canterlot was the only place Spoiled wanted to live - and even with the threat of war, she wasn't willing to budge. As they would approach for landing, Spoiled would put aside the conversations about construction of her Estate and the various other things she had been discussing - all that can be handled. Jargon knew what he was doing, and it was a very important moment in time. When they landed, Spoiled Rich's eyes would look out as familiar buildings would pass by the carriage on the way to the Rich family mansion. "The rest you will leave to me. You have a lot to attend to, as do I. Once you have worthy information to report back to me about, I will see you then. I trust you will be able to look into my suggestions, you have the time you need to do so." Spoiled Rich would take the test kit and suitcase. Jargon has served her well, and she has no doubts about his ability to handle her finances - however, this was a job only she could take alone on her own terms. It was family business after all. With only a passing glance, Spoiled Rich would exit the carriage. From the way she walked, she meant business, and there was no arguing against that. Spoiled Rich had more or less told Jargon that he was to be sent back to Canterlot to attend to the various tasks he needed to. As Spoiled Rich had exited the carriage, she would notice Randolph. Walking up to him much like a shark would stalk its prey, her eyes would gazed upon the vase. Oh, that vase specifically. "Did you not remember that I told you to put that vase directly in the center of the pedestal? It needs to be in the center." she asked in a sudden dangerous tone that indicated he was to do so immediately without question. Randolph still being alive after 3 years didn't surprise her. That old stallion had kept going despite his advanced age. "There is a lot to discuss. Please come inside with me." Spoiled Rich said, with the almost passive aggressive tone still evident in her voice. Though, as much as she may not admit it - she was glad that Randolph was okay. Randolph would know where her husband and daughter were, when they got to that point of discussion.

If you need to go to the hospital, go to the hospital. Better safe than sorry.
