@Rikifive Seems to always happen - but as I start pages it works fine for 1-2 clicks then it stops?

@Splashee Even when turning it off, it still doesn't work for me. I was able to align this post in the center, but not able to align it back.

For some reason the alignment of text is glitchy. I can't move it back to left align, and clicking to center align doesn't work most of the time. It is almost unusuable. I hope someone can look into this.

@Blitz Boom Spectra would observe the Griffon as he flew off. Her eyes lazily gazing away from that scene. What a pitiful accident - Griffons had no real interest to her, though she's never had the chance to capture one of them. Perhaps that might change. It may be possible to drag an individual or two away from here in the middle of the night. Though, that wasn't very high on her list. Also not high on the list was the focus she had in Operata. It was interesting to see her act somewhat loose and almost forgetful of Operata's presence. That is how comfortable she truly was because he very well knew her hold over him. A hold that was his Wife's very life. Operata wouldn't realistically be able to find the lair, and then free his beloved wife from her anyway. Her bases were very well hidden and he had only gotten a very small Glimpse of the exterior surroundings. In a mountain range, with so many mountains surrounded by forest. Only thing he knew was that it was the Green Mountains. If his ties with her should ever break - he could very well spend years searching for his wife. She knew her place of power over him and exercised it with such thoughtlessness. From the subtle interactions Operata had with the two others, she could tell he had a history here. The large stallion chopping away at the meat was definitely one of them. If she had anything to go off of - it was an adversarial relationship. The one mare who waved her hoof back to him was a positive relationship. Something Spectra didn't press - she was here for a reason, not to entertain Operata's past life. Though, she wouldn't lie - she were curious. Maybe sometime later. Spectra just gave either of them a casual glance, not indicating interest or much thought as they proceeded their way through the town. Her eyes were looking around, though not keeping glued to any one particular area. She wasn't here to cause problems anyway. In, and out. That was her goal. If anything here garnered herself a positive name - that was but an added bonus. As they pressed further into the town, Spectra glanced at the various guards casually. Various types of all species who were clearly good at their trade. Not the type that ponies would want to mess with. In her mind, even the mere sight of those guards would make the average pony cower in fear at. Yet she was completely unphased by it. With all the power and influence she had here, she wondered if it was possible to buy out a private army here and infiltrate the Equestrian higher ranks for herself. Something she were clearly aiming to do at some point. Malevolence and all that will come as it comes - and she was not pleased by the possibility of him arriving again in this place to once again mess with her. Far too soon for that to happen. The jewelry stores were interesting. Those were a good way to cash in some of her valuables. Her precious jewels stolen directly from the vault of the Two Sisters. That was many centuries ago, which only added to their value. The Two Sisters had likely given up on their pursuit of those gems - it had been so long anyway. All of the scenery here made Spectra think to herself that she had forgotten how truly extensive some of her journeys had truly been. These days however? The vault was too well guarded for even her to access without her being uncovered one way or the other. Not worth the effort, unless she had such a way to distract the guards...but that's for another time. So much to think about! Upon walking up to the large tent with many official articles on display, Spectra knew she was in the right place. She had a lot of articles that would go well in this collection - and soon enough, they would. The questionable bat pony only served to drive home that she would be directly aiding in whatever plots these others had. Which was good for her. She didn't care how cruel or how immoral their buyers may end up being, so long as it weakened the crown that she hated so so much. Quickly looking away, her gaze would fall upon the one in charge of the sale. The one who was in charge was a very strange diamond dog - with a very strange amulet. Looking at it closely, she had no doubt in what little heart she had that he had been possessed by it. At the very least, he was heavily influenced by it's effects. Was difficult to tell what kind of magic it was. The many eyes on his face was definitely a tell tale sign - something that she found herself allured by. Though looking like...that was a downside to any attempts at infiltration which she aimed to do at some point. The venomous look to his inner teeth only served to drive that point home. Spectra would give a bow in turn when the Vendor bowed before her like that. She didn't judge him - she merely observed him. "Well - I have been collecting a few things over the years I think that would go well with your collection here. Give me a moment." she spoke as she stepped back a bit, her horn pulsing blue. Next to her, various armor stands appeared. There were 5 Crystal Empire armor sets - each of various rank, and clearly of different time frame, though the last two were purely modern. Good for infiltration. There were 6 pairs of Celestial Guard Armor, one of them looked to be very old - but kept in mint condition. Celestial guard armor didn't change too much over the years - so that was the best for modern uses here. There then were 4 pairs of Night Guard armor which was more rare for her to have, but there it was. Of course, she kept more of these to herself. She wasn't going to just part ways with all of them. "I no longer have use for them. They are yours. Keep the armor stands as well. The newer ones have the name tags of their...previous owners inside of them. Good for whatever purposes anyone around here has, you know?" she smirked casually and would allow this Diamond dog to make the appraisal of them before she would even mention anything she had an inclination on wanting in turn. Some kind of powerful-power armor was on the forefront of her mind but she was careful not to move too fast here. (At the base) Magloria would stop for a bit to quietly observe the construct. What a strange creature, really. Was this something that ponies used these days? Some new technology that had been invented since the last time she was free in her own body - or did it serve a more dire sinister purpose? Something her captor had invented to keep ponies from escaping? Whatever it was, she ran out of the room quickly and quietly. Magloria was eager to find herself to freedom. As she ran quietly, she ran close to the walls. Her ears listening. Magloria soon stumbled upon Veil - another strange creature in her eyes, one she'd leave alone. Magloria would quickly head to the other rooms Veil had not been near. Crates upon crates. So much material. Thankfully these rooms had doors to them, and she snuck into one of them quickly. Magloria began to look through the crates, finding a suit of Crystal Guard armor. She put it on quickly, and armed herself with the spear the armor itself had came with. The armor she knew was Crystal Empire in design, but was fairly modern. Going through the crates more, she'd locate various empty saddlebags and would equip them, putting military rations inside of one. For the rest, she began to look for any various valuables she could find - in order to bribe others in the future. Not much was left in this base, as Spectra had taken most of it. Quickly, she would stuff them into one saddlebag. Then she'd equip various knives, and a spare camping tent. It was quite the amount of gear, but she proceeded to explore the place quickly - staying away from Veil. She wanted to get a good memory of the place, so that eventually - she can expose it all in great detail to the highest authority and gain their loyalty. Spectra's wrongdoings were in the hooves of Magloria - to undo. One day. Magloria saw all the other ponies. She wanted to free them, but doing so would attract more attention than she wanted. Not yet...one day...one day...

*Hugs Silky*

I know that feeling all too well.

@Catpone Cerberus Sombra noticed the 1000 years was a common timeframe to mention. It is interesting that Nightmare Moon happened shortly after Sombra and his Kingdom were banished away. He wondered what sort of connections the events had - if any. He would also show Una what the historians wrote about him. Obviously, it was all just claiming he was a brutal tyrant - without any sort of explanation as to how exactly he rose to power or what he did before the war. There were little mentions of Changelings at this time in history, it seems the bulk of interaction with them was in recent years. It is interesting how the books they read paint the two Sisters in a consistently positive light.

@Sturmponiere As for my bucket list? Number one? Finding love.

I'm not the one who decides who has status update permissions and who doesn't. Maybe there is a setting you can change in your account settings. I'm not sure.

@Blitz Boom @Illiad Easle Spiral would look to Dr. Coxa as she was asked about the possibility of a triggering event. "Aurum remembered the events leading up to her encasement. Aurum did not want to be worshipped, nor did she want to be admired - but her mother abused her, to put it lightly." Spiral would say in a saddened tone, looking down at the floor. She would look towards Dr. Coxa with hope though - "I hope the technology exists aboard so that her sight could be restored." she would say in a hopeful manner. That would go a long way in getting Aurum acclimated to life aboard the project. As for the rest of what was being spoke of, Spiral would not comment on it. "If you wish to see what Aurum had showed me in her memory, I can show you, with my memory. I have the ability to show things in other's minds. It's not particularly pleasant though.." Spiral would say to Dr.Coxa.

@Blitz Boom Spectra nodded to his words. She knew that she had more than enough to back herself up if needbe. The amount of power and wealth she had would likely go far and wide in such a corrupt place. If there were any bounty hunters or anyone who were foolish enough to go after her - she'd gladly show them the way to an orb within one of her bases. The one nearby to Kludge Town was fairly spartan, and she wouldn't mind adding more to her collection there. Her collection of ponies ranged in several dozen, at the very least. If not more. Spectra's honestly lost track at this point. She was very interested, one could even say excited - if Spectra was able to express herself properly. All of this power and wealth, secret dealings, achieving more than what she currently had - it was a sort of adrenaline high she quite thoroughly enjoyed. As for what Operata had spoke of - the Moonsickle Consortium, she had easily around a dozen articles of genuine armor. Some of her victims were guards from various walks of life. Some of the armors may be old, while others are more current issue. In such a place, she'd gladly trade all those armors away to ponies doing infiltration into the crown as a whole. Anything to de-stabilize the monarchs and expose their dirty secrets. Truly, she hated the two sisters with all of her heart. Spectra would accept his request, because she knew that whatever he had would also belong to her. Spectra was a notoriously greedy pony after all. Spectra would keep in mind the other things he had said to her - as she watched as he went off to collect her valuables. There was a ton of crates, all neatly organized by the construct. He can see at least a few dozen armor stands there as well. It was quite a lot to move, clearly showing that she had spent many years stealing these things. The armors themselves were in near-mint condition. In her time, Spectra had all the time in the world to polish them. Though perhaps the Construct had done more than that for herself. Once Operata had everything collected into a large pile in the center of the room as she requested, with a whisk of her magic she teleported it off to the nearest base towards Kludgetown - where they would be going. She'd collect various saddlebags with her rations, giving them to both of them. On herself she would also equip outdoor hiking boots, that she stole just like anything else she had here. Rather high quality boots, at that. It was ashame that Spectra were such a vile and disgusting mare in terms of her morality - she was physically attractive otherwise. Spectra would inform Veil of what she wanted of her, and would thus depart. Spectra was rather quiet at this stage - instructing Operata to stand next to her as she looked to Veil. She trusted Veil - she just very much hoped that the trust she had within her would never be broken. Coming back to Veil having practiced her magic more - was going to be a treat. Before they left, though - Spectra would seal off the exits and entrances to the base with her magic. It was a powerful ice sort of magic - for Veil's "safety" of course. Taking one last look at everything, and making sure she didn't miss anything, she would give Veil a final nod. Spectra would smirk at the Construct too, before they'd leave. With a brilliant flash of Blue Light, her and Operata would teleport away to the other lair that Spectra had. It was a lot smaller though, indicating that she hadn't used this one as much. There were only four orbs in this, each of them containing Pegasi stallions. They seemed to be some kind of guards, with the armor removed. Likely where she got some of her armor from. Of note, he would have seen the large pile of valuables here. It was far easier to teleport them from this distance to Kludgetown, anyway. The trek to Kludgetown was uneventful. General hiking, setting up tents and such. Spectra seemed rather quiet and distant - as if Operata was a mere object to her. He was merely a pawn, an object for her to own so that she may acquire more power. Whenever they talked, Spectra always talked as if he wasn't there - driving the point home. Upon arriving at Kludgetown, Spectra would immediately take note of their surroundings as they approached the guards. She'd allow Operata to speak here, taking the time to silently observe everything. The minotaur that Operata had spoke with seemed to be the joking type. Spectra didn't offer him much of a glance as she walked by - carrying herself with a freightingly casual gate in her step as she strode forward. Spectra would find herself momentarily stunned by the Griffon dropping the crate accidentally near to them. It was rather sudden, and she immediately would go on high alert as she'd stare the griffon down passively. "Better move along." she said, the gaze in her eyes indicating that she was giving him not much notice to depart from their presence before she might consider doing something. In such a place as this, it was wise that she stand up for herself in a non-combative manner. To show that she wasn't going to be walked over, but also to show she wasn't willing to show all of her cards. If the Griffon left, Spectra would look to Operata. "Lead me to that market where I can get rid of those guard armors. I'll keep one of each type for me at the base, the rest I'll sell away to the highest bidders here, or to anyone willing to give something of value in turn." she spoke. It was more of an order, if anything. (At the base) Several days after they had left - the base itself was silent beyond whatever activities Veil and the Construct were doing. As the Construct went about it's business in the large open room where Spectra had stored all of her "trophies". The orb that Magloria was contained in was completely transparent, allowing the rather intimidating unicorm mare within to be seen in full display. The other orbs were not like that - but instead, encrusted over with an even coat of ice of some kind. Magloria was Spectra's prized possession, and she had been put front and center. To the Construct, this one was out of place. What the construct was doing, had no affect up to a certain point. The clawing didn't change anything - but when it began pulling the large solid orb upward - the orb itself was detached from a hidden base on the floor. The construct could see it looked like a metal circle of some kind, of an oddly crystal looking metal that held it in place on the floor. There was a sudden hiss of cold air that rushed out of it, as if it was pressurized to some degree. A blue fog began to emerge from the orb, as the orb slowly lost it's glow. It took a few seconds for the stasis spell on Magloria to suddenly lose hold - and she would fall over on the floor, the orb having been lifted over her. Her mind awakened - and her eyes opened. For the first time...in perhaps centuries.... Magloria would thus examine where she ended up slowly. She wasn't exactly sure what happened. Last she remembered - it was Spectra doing some sudden magic on her...then this.

I shave my legs once a week.

Close, I actually played those games in school.

@Blitz Boom Yeah, no worries about that. I'll be working there with my father at my father's job. I know that the people who work there know what they are doing. It's not like it's retail or anything like that - I'll be doing cable pulling and telephone cable stuff with my father. A lot of it will involve things I already know how to do, so it's nothing that will be too difficult for me. As for what you are saying here - the exact details where they arrive at Kludge Town isn't important. Spectra has various "War chests" of vast amounts of gold, precious gems, that sort of thing that she had stored for the right time and place. Whoever they meet in Kludge Town, Spectra can offer them various amounts of her valuables in exchange for other such things - as well as various Royal Guard armors from the Night Guard, Celestial Guard, and Crystal Empire. Spectra will want to find herself a major improvement over that armor, so perhaps you can think of some unique type of armor she can buy by exchanging those suits of armor. Spectra will also seal off the entrances and exits of the base with magic. What you speak of next - is actually what I had in mind - The original (real) Magloria is the first one that Spectra captured, and the one that Spectra took the form of in the first stages when we started this RP. I was imagining that Veil or the Construct can do something that results in her getting loose, and Magloria reveals the truth about Spectra to Veil. Magloria, the original Magloria - is the one who developed the stasis spell and magic absorption spell that Spectra has. She is the reason why Spectra is so powerful, as you can gleam from the RP itself. While Spectra will gain whatever power she finds in Kludge Town, she will lose Veil and Magloria's presence. Without Magloria, expect Spectra to use her ice magic less in combat. That way, we can have two sections of this RP, both working in opposition to the other. Magloria's escape would certainly be felt by Spectra, though we can have there be some sort of situation where she is completely distracted from it. Either directly engaging with others in Kludge town to buy things, something of that sort. Magloria could also take the construct for herself, or somehow tamper with it - so that Spectra loses various important assets of hers, but gains others (such as whatever magic power armor or sources of power she is able to get in Kludge Town). From the map, we can say that Spectra and Operata would teleport to one of Spectra's minor bases in the mountains nearby to Kludge Town, then a 2 day journey from there to Kludge Town (that also being another reason why she can't go back to her base instantly. Spectra travels through various glyphs and runes she lays out within caves, she can't just instantly teleport to places all around the world - don't want to make her too powerful after all. So by the time that Spectra and Operata get back to the base, Veil and Magloria would be gone for several days - long gone. They'll take various things with them and escape off somewhere, and aim to find someone who expose Spectra's wicked ways to. Magloria will not set the rest of the ponies free, as Spectra would obviously figure that out rather quickly, and Magloria wants to escape with as little issue as possible.

@Blitz Boom (So did I) For all this power Spectra had within her grasp, she was clearly a shortsighted one. Perhaps this power and isolation has long since fried her mind slowly from the inside out. One can truly wonder why she didn't end up like Mindstorm. Insane and obsessed. If Operata weren't here, who knows what she would be up to at this moment? Spectra was truly a mare of such deplorable plans and such low morals. Unlike others of her type, at least she wasn't out to actively torture others for her own pleasure. She was almost incapable of feeling pleasure that way. She only truly felt pleasure when she added more to her collection, taking more magic, and power for herself. If one could find a way to re-write her mind, she'd make a great hero. Spectra had all the tools and ability to be a hero, but her moral alignment and goals is what made her as far from it as one can get. Only fighting Mindstorm for power - not to help the innocent. Spectra would listen to Operata's description of Kludgetown. It was an interesting place. Right up her ally. She'd gladly find such world altering things to be in her favor. She could release a plague or something discreetly - and use it to sew discord and discontent amongst the populace. Make the higher ups in the world have one more strain she could take advantage of - and gild that as a way to build a following. That is one thing she had no clue how to. She was a mare of power - not so much of a silver tongue. Threats of violence and horrible treatment is where she got where she got. And when their usefulness for her expired? She either had them cast more spells on her like Veil did, or she outright trapped them inside of orbs so she can steal their magic for herself. Truly - if she had been one with a silver tongue and the mindpower to back up her plans, she would have won a very long time ago. "Very interesting. You are resourceful and full of knowledge that I don't have, despite my age." she spoke, her eyes looking into his own. Though as powerful as her gaze would otherwise be, her facial expression was one of complete detachment. It was not as if she was emotionless, no, she was for all intensive purposes incapable of expressing other emotions that didn't directly derive from her own deviousness or her plans for the world. Her eyes were one of a...machine? Almost? It was really strange, now that he had gotten a closer look into her eyes. Obviously she wasn't a real machine, but she had such a one track and short-sighted being - she may as well be one. "I have much to trade, and much to offer the types that live there. Guard armor, hordes of cash and gems...all of it genuine article. Will go a long way there." she added, having absolutely no idea why she didn't pursue it much earlier. Spectra would straighten up and stare him down as she looked him in the eyes. No matter how hard she stared - the hollowness within her stare was always there. It was as if she was staring past him, and that was even more obvious with how she reacted to his statements on Veil. "I was testing you." she smirked, devilishly. Though, was she actually testing him? It was difficult to tell. Her smile may possibly seem fake as well. "I was going to do that anyway. She will train here, alone. Keep an eye on the construct, and I'll block off the exits so she can't escape." she spoke, finishing the food. With hardly a complement towards it, she would set the empty bowl down and begin to walk towards where Veil was. As she walked, she would look to Operata. "You will collect my valuables and put them in the Center of the main room. I will handle the rest from there. The ability to trade is valuable, more so than what I have in my possession currently. I will inform Veil of my plans for her." she spoke, once again relegating him to such minor tasks, having him fetch things for her on a whim like that - expecting it to be done as soon as possible. She wasn't harsh in her words to order, it was more absent minded than that. Somehow, that might be worse than being screamed at to do things. Without another word, she'd pull herself away from him, not leaving much time for him to say anything else to her - with the intention on going to inform Veil about her plan for her.

@Sekel @Blitz Boom Magnolia would sigh and shut her eyes slowly for a moment as she considered the words that were spoken to her. "I don't know the answer to that, although from what I've been able to gleam was that our parents weren't always together. Both of them had other relationships before. Perhaps I was the result of...one of those relationships. An unwanted result, that was never recorded into history properly. Whatever their reasoning, it doesn't exclude them from setting me down a path of darkness at a young age because I had nobody to teach me right from wrong, or any positive role models to look up to." she said, tapping her hoof, as she said those words. She seemed almost...shy? Shy in saying those words, that is. As for Twilight and Cherish, she'd stay silent on that - not wanting to interfere with the process.

There is a game I used to play when I was a kid online. I don't remember the name of it, nor the website. It was some sort of game where you were on a 2d asteroid and there was a whale on the asteroid, I remember the music in the game. Was quite odd, but enjoyable. Another game I remember was some sort of flash game about a penguin going into space, and you'd rank up rocket parts each time you went through it - getting higher and higher, until you'd reach the moon and complete the game.

Assuming this is a world in which the internet never existed, I would have likely lived a far different life. I would imagine that I would be working in person for several years up to this point and have a solid idea on what I want to do with my life. I imagine that I would also be physically healthier, and mentally stronger - yet at the same time a lot less creative, as the internet has given me an outlet for my creativity. Even though my family was never really religious - in a world without internet, I can see my family having a more overt religious character. Most likely Catholic. I would have had a lot more Catholic influence in my world view. Yet even so, I wouldn't imagine that I would attend Church frequently. My brother was in a Catholic School for a while in his youth, and I imagine that I would have possibly had a similar experience. The butterfly effect is an interesting thing, really. My world view as a whole was largely shaped by my experience on the internet. MLP, politics, cartoons, reading, and roleplaying. All of which have had a major impact on my personality and identity. Without the internet, I can basically say that the vast majority of it simply wouldn't have existed. I'd be reading books in physical form, having a lot more time to focus on physical media. In such a case, I may even go as far to say that various aspects of my personality would be superior (Work Ethic, productivity, etc), but I imagine my world view may be more narrow and focused in a set of core tenants set within Catholic Christianity, general American Conservatism and Patriotism. Due to the internet's influence, I have lived a rather hedonistic and self-centered existence to put it lightly, something I have largely had to actively work against, and am still working against on a regular basis. I would not have this outlet, in a world without the internet, so my largest shortcoming simply wouldn't exist - and even if it did, it would have been to a far lesser degree. If one is to say the people in school one grew up with would remain the same in this hypothetical scenario, I would have developed closer friendships with people in school and I would have likely not separated my friendships with them to the extent that I have in this world. There would have been a lot less drama in school, and school would have taken a more "old school" approach with an oddly modernistic flair. Without the internet, I can see portable physical media being the norm in a modernized version. I can imagine various alternate trends in school developing. Through the internet, I more or less would develop my world view through interacting with people online and engaging with them. Without the internet, my world view would have likely been more strictly aligned with that of my parents. Though as similar as my world view is to my parents, it has significant differences here and there - I imagine those differences would have been a lot less in this world, as I wouldn't have been exposed to alternative ideas to the extent that I have in this world. So all in all, I would see myself in a much better place in terms of work ethic - but in terms of friendships and the various positive changes I have experienced on the internet, that wouldn't have existed. It's tough to say how things would be, as this is all just speculation. There would be significant positives without the internet, but also significant negatives within this alternate me. But that's just like most things in life. Trade offs. Though, without the internet, I would likely have laughed at the idea of liking ponies and consider those that to do be some strange type of people. If I myself was to go to this world, it would be a hard adjustment. It would take months to adjust, but knowing that my online friends would have developed differently - I wouldn't have to worry about them. As they would have developed completely differently, never having ever been aware of my existence. Surreal stuff to think about. Even though my worldview has changed a lot over the years, at the bottom of it all there has always been some kind of block in my mind that prevented me from legitimately hating other types of people. No matter how I expressed myself, no matter how hateful I was in the past - I really don't think I seriously meant some of the things I said. I like to think this would be one of the few things that remained unchanged.

@Blitz Boom Alright so - I was just informed that I will be getting a job within the next 2 weeks. I will be on the forum in reduced capacity, for the next 2-3 months at the very least. It will not be a permanent thing. I figured that given the time that I have now, that we should iron a few things out in this RP and think about what we want to do going forward. We've been basically going with the flow for a while now, but I'd like to see if we can come up with some sort of game plan. Doesn't have to be all the details, but we can discuss a few things as they go along. I will reply to your post as is in this RP, but I would like to see if we can move things along at a bit of a faster pace within the next few posts until the characters are at Kludge Town. Feel free to say any ideas and we can ping pong ideas off of each other, so we can come up with something good here. I like the dialog posts, but given the time constraints that I would like to move things along. I must say, I personally enjoy Operata's dynamic with Spectra. I hope I play Spectra in an interesting and convincing manner.

@Catpone Cerberus Sombra agrees with her and goes silent as they enter the library - he is intending to read more on history of the world now so they can get a better clue of this - and he leads Una right into that section so they can get started right away. Tons of ponies were around as usual.

@Dynamo Pad @Sir Hugsalot @Cagey @Princess Silky @AuroraGlimmer @Silverspark184 Magloria would look down to Silverspark and put her eyes at an even level. "Value that optimism and hopefulness. I was like you once." Magloria simply stated, letting her keep the snowflake. "I won't grace your innocence with the truth about me, so believe whatever you'd like." she spoke, giving her one last look before walking through the doorway. Magloria was not used to kind words, so she didn't give much of a reaction. On the otherside, Magloria would find herself disoriented and on her back. She'd watch as one of the cookies hit Frostbite, but he didn't notice. Quickly she put the contents of her saddlebags back into the bag and looked around. She saw many ponies who had taken note of her daughter. As Vibrant Grove was hugging her daughter - she would narrow her eyes, and give him a distant stare as she stood at Frostbite's side. She knew who he was. They had many interactions previously. Star Silk was hers. But, her control over her daughter's life was rapidly slipping out from under her and she could do absolutely nothing about it. She seethed somewhat under her breath - but was otherwise powerless.

@Silverspark184 Magloria would straighten up a bit, and look down at the filly's eyes. Her eyes remained cold - but she moved closer. "Hmm." she would take the cookies in her cold telekinetic aura, and then set them into her saddlebag. She would reach out a hoof, and form a snowflake in her hoof out of condensed water vapor in the air. Her horn pulsed blue - along with the snowflake, turning it into durable crystal before handing it to Silverspark. "Keep it." Magloria simply stated, turning away.

@Silly Druid @Princess Silky @Cagey @Sophie H. For now, Magloria appeared to calm down. She stayed silent as she felt the calming affects flow over her. Slightly, she tilted her head down and looked at the ground - not making eye contact with the other ponies around her other than Frostbite. Were these her daughter's friends...?

@Illiad Easle @Blitz Boom Spiral would look to the Changeling who had entered into their room. She stayed rather quiet until Briar and Last would explain things to them. Spiral would trust this Changeling as this was something that was discussed with Consul Write earlier. "Aurum is...emotionally unstable and not ready to deal with the world. She doesn't understand a lot of things and this information appears to send her into a sensory overload. We must take things slowly and carefully with her." Spiral said, and extended a hoof for the Changeling to shake.
