@Courageous Thunder Dash @ExplosionMare @PawelS Sparkly raises an eyebrow and shows Chelsea and Tree Song the squirt bottle. "Yup...hmm...if you would like to try my eye water as I call it, I can give you a few squirts. Don't worry, it doesn't hurt at at all. It actually cleans out your eyeballs." Sparkly stated.

@Courageous Thunder Dash @PawelS @ExplosionMare Sparkly straightens up. "I was in the woods outside the city of Tall Tale. I was crafting some Electrical Rods to store magic in, from lightning. Uh...Tree Song walked up to me and I suppose we hit it off." she nudged Tree Song in a friendly manner.

@PawelS @ExplosionMare @Courageous Thunder Dash "I do indeed have my good reasons for it, for you it wouldn't make sense and its not exactly something I trust. However, Tree Song knows what I am hiding. Because I trust her. Perhaps in time, I will trust you." she stated and gave Tree Song a gentle pat for her "Defense" there. "I came to this town yesterday. I know Tree Song from long ago." she smiles.

@ExplosionMare @PawelS @PawelS Sparkly pulled out what seemed to be a spray bottle, inside of it was a green liquid of some sort. The spray nozzle itself was molded from glass. She shook the bottle up in her magic and tilted the bottle in a strange 45 degree angle above her eyes and did one pump of the bottle into each eye. What happens is the green film over her eyes gets thicker and it seems to fuse into her eyes slightly. She blinks, being able to see a bit better. "That is not the full story...I am not sure you would understand, and I don't want to be the talk of the town either. I am...no normal pony and I don't want everyone to notice that or talk about me. I just want to be a fly on the wall." she says, not really liking the idea of getting all the attention. "And even if I don't want them to see, I am perfectly pleased with how I look now." she said with a hint of pride. Her tail blew a bit in the air, being beautiful shades of blue and green.

@PawelS @ExplosionMare @Courageous Thunder Dash Sparkly shakes her head. "Once again they don't understand what I do..." she sighs. "If you really must know, that film is a magical compound I created that allows me to see better...and it hides my true eye color. I crafted it from aerocloud combined with dye to counteract the glare within it, among other ingredients..." she didn't like explaining this, but she felt like she had to.

@ExplosionMare @PawelS @Courageous Thunder Dash She seemed to be more nervous now. "My magic being out of control has nothing to do with it...don't get me wet. Please, it won't end well. At least for me." she backed away a little further. "What makes you think my magic is getting out of control?" she was suspicious.

@Courageous Thunder Dash @ExplosionMare @PawelS Sparkly stepped back upon seeing the ball of water. "I-If you could do me a favor please don't get me wet..." Sparkly's eyes widen at that. Why would she be afraid of water? Sparkly adjusts her cloak with her magic and ties the knot. Her purple magic does not fit with the look of the rest of her body. Sparkly seemed rather on edge, scared even.

@ExplosionMare @PawelS @Courageous Thunder Dash Sparkly sort of hid one of her hooves under her cloak as if something was wrong with it. Her eyes narrow strangely, and Chelsea sees a green-ish film over her eyes which was not something that was normal. "I uh, can see how that was a little too much but there were some real bad apples there...if its going to be like that then I don't really want to be involved. And that yell? When I do it, I am not aware that I do...it just kinda happens." she looked under her cloak as if checking something. She was frightened at what she saw. She forgot to tie the knot!

@Courageous Thunder Dash @ExplosionMare @PawelS Sparkly's head tilts and her eyes sort of do a strange shake. "I was not leaving the town, only the tournament. There are some nasty characters I have just met. I don't know why some ponies here are so rude, but I cannot allow that to happen and when I tried to step in and stop it, it was as if I was made out to be the bad guy, when they turn a blind eye to the rude and negative ones here so I thought it would be better for me to simply leave these grounds." she looked to the ground slightly, her cloak shifted a bit in the wind.

@ExplosionMare @PawelS @Samurai Equine Chelsea notices that Sparkly is wearing a black cloak around herself. She clearly was hiding something, her wings were retracted so she wouldn't notice. Sparkly was in deep thought with Tree Song and stood close to her, as if wanting to protect her from any danger. Upon the arrival of Pencil Pouch, her eyes turn to Pencil Pouch and Chelsea. Her green eyes contain a sense of depth and analytical ability but something about her eyes was not normal. It was as if they were some sort of lenses upon looking closer at them. She blinks slowly as if clearing her vision. "Yes, you want something?" she asked in a confused and stand offish manner. Her eyes look to Pencil pouch, softening slightly.

@ExplosionMare Inkwell nods in understanding. "I'll do my best for your request. While I am not a guard, my new eyes have granted me superior vision than before so I will do what I can." she said as she puts her pens back into their holder and the papers back where they were. She hops off the chair with a slight hop sound, but a quiet one. Her bat pony feathers ruffle slightly and she retracts her wings against herself. Inkwell salutes Nightmare Moon and then left to the outside of the castle. She would stay within the dark and be as quiet as possible, to her eyes all she saw were normal guards and normal activity outside. Nothing unusual. Magnolia sneaks past the guard at the library. Her shadowy form silently moving past his own into the library. Once she is in the library she takes a moment to admire the many books here. With her shadow magic she reforms her pony body but keeps her hooves and legs in shadow form so she can walk silently. Nobody was in the library itself at the moment so she had total reign over it. There were many possible options to choose from but ultimately she decided on stealing the psychic, dark magic, and other such books off the shelves. The guard noticed a slight glow in the room, and quickly would make his way in to see Magnolia standing there with the books. "Stop right there!" the guard shouted, but because he was a bat pony he had no horn unlike Twilight and Inkwell. He charged at her, but Magnolia effortlessly dodged him and took the books in her magic. Stuffing them in some sort of shadowy bag, before it poofed away. Then Magnolia would cast a magic deletion spell on her magical signature so it was untraceable and then formed into her shadow form, rapidly darting away from the castle into the shadows of Canterlot. The guard had fallen over at her dodge from the charge, before he would quickly inform the rest of the guard. Intruder alert.

I am feeling well enough, a bit tired since I just woke up.

I just woke up and I'm about to go in for a shave.

@Catpone Cerberus "I don't want a family either. I don't want the responsibility for another's life when I have to be responsible for my own self which is already hard enough. Finally someone I can relate to, someone who doesn't want to have kids. Everyone I knew back home always wanted kids at some point but I never did. It's a hard task, a constant worry, and a constant pain that I don't want to deal with. I'd rather just find someone to have a relationship with but not have kids at all." Sparkly stated as she continued to apply the dye onto her mane.

@ExplosionMare Inkwell had been organizing some events for the future since as the exact timescales of the events Nightmare had requested and other minor things. Her small fluffy bat ears perk up when Nightmare Moon enters in the door. She turns to Nightmare and rotates her chair to face her. Her bat wings are extended calmly and rested against the back of the chair and her small white legs dangle down softly. "The guards had just informed me about it. I looked where I could and I have been unable to find anything. I had the guards search the other rooms but nothing came up." she said, sitting up straight and folding her wings in. "I don't think they are anywhere in this castle. I think someone stole them from the outside, but that begs the question...who would steal them, and how would they get in while not being noticed by the guards? This doesn't make any sense...but I have to ask though, how long have these books been missing for?" Inkwell tilts her head, the slits of her eyes narrowing slightly at the seriousness of the question. Meanwhile, Magnolia had drawn closer to the castle. Now she is standing just outside of it. Sneaking around in the shadows, she easily avoided the guards that were outside of the castle who suspected nothing. In her shadow form, she moved along silently and not a soul noticed. She knew where the library was, her shadowy mist flows up the side of the castle and into an open window. Checking to make sure no guards noticed her, she would enter into the castle and move along the dark corner of the wall towards the library.

@PawelS "In my world, there have been many horrible things. Many wars in our past. Dictatorships. I refuse to allow something like that to happen here. I probably shouldn't have gone that far with Tiger Muscle, but now they know that I am not one to mess with at the very least and that I won't be taking anything from anyone. I hope to change this town for the better, those ponies don't understand that. These tournament things only increase negativity and division between ponies. Tiger Muscle actively encouraged that, and if he is truly the mayor he should be horribly ashamed of himself for encouraging that between his citizens." Sparkly grins back, she picks up the pace and leaves the tournament area all together. It's only distant noise by now. "Perhaps we should find some other pony to meet. I know there are lots of ponies here, and we can meet another one to make friends with. We'll leave those others to their own thing, they will see in time." Sparkly said calmly, yet ominously. Sparkly paused in her walk for a moment, thinking.

@PawelS @Samurai Equine @Courageous Thunder Dash ”Honestly? I don’t even know what is wrong with these ponies here. This town is supposed to be peaceful right? Well There were some really rude ones, that Tiger Muscle seems to be a mayor in disguise but refused to do anything about it. I don’t understand. But one thing I can say for sure is that I want no part in that. Perhaps I was trying a bit too hard to get answers from them but whatever the case, it is clear they are unable to provide us answers. I am not here to fight anyone, but those ponies clearly don’t know what they are doing. I am sorry if this upset you.” Sparkly states

@PawelS @Samurai Equine @Courageous Thunder Dash Sparkly turns to Samurai coldly and looked him dead in the eye. “I am not assaulting him. I am simply showing him an important event from my world. I suppose your kind don’t understand what I am trying to do here. You don’t understand. You think these fights are good for your town. Well I don’t think so. It is really insensitive of you to assume my intentions when never asking me what I want or who I even am in truth. If I wanted to harm you or anyone else I would have done so already.” she moved his hoof off of him and stepped back. With a crackling purple light she formed a sword out of her magic in a defensive posture and made no move against him. The sword was there though, and she was not going to tolerate anything against her or her friend Tree Song. “I will not be forcibly removed by someone else. I am removing myself. I don’t understand why your town allows these fights in the first place. It is a negative and violent thing. I will not be present in such events and I was only coming here so I could know more about the town and get some answers in what I want to know. I see I cannot even do that since you and him do not understand what I am doing because I am capable of things you don’t understand.” she was calm but disappointed in how he was acting. she turns to Tree Song. “Let’s go. We’re leaving.” and like that she started to walk off. She sulked somewhat. Sparkly only wanted to help but only to get rejected. Her sword vanished in a strange retracting motion that Samurai and the others have not seen before. It was like unsheathing into a purple flame before it combusted and then vanished completely. In truth she didn’t feel wanted.

@Catpone Cerberus Sparkly giggled at the comment about foals. "If you ever want me to call you "mom" I don't mind calling you that but if not that is okay. I should probably go test out these dyes, I'll do the temporary ones for now." she said and walked over to the mirror in the room, leaving the door open so Frail Spark could follow. She popped the top off of one of the dyes, a blue dye. And like that, she began to dye her hair. With focus, she continued, choosing the green one. She wanted a blue and green mane, as they talked Sparkly would be applying the dyes, she seemed quite satisfied.

I've not done much, but I did watch some fireworks and look at Venus in a telescope.

@Blitz Boom @Kujamih @Windy Breeze Cali laughs heartfully at the descriptions of the sphinx. "I don't need to strike deals with anyone for I already have what I want. At least, deals outside of purchasing property and items. So rest assured, I won't be messing with any gods or anyone of the like anytime soon!" she smiles, looking to Blitz with a sense of responsibility and fondness. "You know, instead of getting big mansions and all that I am content with watching over you, Blitz." she gently rested a hoof on Blitz's shoulder.

@Blitz Boom Magnolia observed the seeming existence of the portal. Supposedly, she had sent the gryphon back to where he was from or at least that is what Magnolia assumed. She sighs, and her canine wolf form faded away and Fright could see the somewhat standoffish beautiful unicorn mare. She seemed...afraid in truth now that she revealed who she really is. She looks to Fright with an eyebrow raised somewhat. "I-I have heard about you but I was never told as to how you look." she stated and stepped a little closer. "I find it interesting how you already know about Gretha and us. She said something about but I forgot what it was...hmm, something to do with you being a dragonesque? I think, yeah, I can see that..." she said in a fairly hesitant manner.

@Samurai Equine @Dynamo Pad @ExplosionMare @PawelS @Courageous Thunder Dash Sparkly ignores the words of Cheap and Cosmic, she could definitely here them. How she hated rude ponies like that, why did they have to be so rude to others for no reason? Sparkly didn't understand that, and she could see how Samurai was prepared to take action should anything get out of hand but thankfully it didn't. Even if it did she was fairly confident in her ability to resolve situations like this easily. Upon Tiger Muscle speaking to her she listened, and would speak rather quietly. "I came here to speak to you for you are one of the mayors of this town. I know your secret, and try anything smart and I'll rip that mask right off but I trust your ability to hold in your emotions unlike those other...rascals over there." her eyes darted over to Cheap and Cosmic with clear disdain. "I thought your kind were peaceful, and kind. But stepping in here I have seen anything but. I see rudeness and negativity. If you truly are the mayor, you should step up and do something about that or maybe I will, instead." she stepped forth with a knowing, yet otherworldly grin. A green sparkle going across her eyes. Definitely an un-usual form of magic. "Perhaps I will take a stand where you do not, and help those in need." she was determined, but also not entirely sure in her words but he wouldn't know that. "I came here to actually help you, if you are the mayor. But from what you say is any indication, I may not help you. As a matter of fact, I am highly tempted to reveal who you really are but I'm not going to do that just yet. I trust your ability to use your senses and come to a logical solution. I want to help you with the state of this town. This tournament matters not to me, but make it my business and it will not end well for anyone." her eyes narrow. "I know that I am more than capable of holding my own, but I will not flaunt myself in front of others should. But I will give you the taste of what I can do." her horn lights up a soft purple...which is not fitting of her coat color. Usually your magical aura should be a similar color as your coat or body, right? Sparkly's is not. Tiger Muscle feels a thought work its way into his mind. It was strange, because it was not something he had ever thought of. He sees a launchpad from a distance, but little does he know this is Sparkly playing a memory of Apollo 11's launch into his mind. To him such a scene is absolutely otherworldly and surreal, he likely lacks the context and ability to describe it in full. This thought would last a few seconds, and then it would leave just as fast as it came, leaving him to wonder about what it was. Thundy would come across Sparkly speaking to Tiger Muscle, witnessing their conversation. If he was close enough he would have heard it. But he'd be able to tell that Sparkly was not liking the negativity she just encountered here, and that she also was a strange out of place mare.

@Illiad Easle -Cloning- Afterglow observes this scene without any issue, such a display he found un-nerving but the captain couldn't tell how Afterglow was feeling about it. That was until Afterglow scoffed somewhat, "He said something about how our kind would spare him and do some sort of trial. That is not the case for those of this nature. I don't have any sympathy for him, he knew what he was doing and he would have done far worse things to us and the others in this area if he had gotten what he wanted. So for that, good riddance." Afterglow said with a passing calmness as he strode closer to the captain himself. "Unfortunately, there are those like him among our kind who would do as bad or worse things if they could. I've seen it myself in various situations. From the changeling invasions, to other situations but I have a lot of questions for you now that we are...here in the flesh. Captain to Captain." Afterglow spoke, his mouth curling into some sort of grin as he would step past the corpse of the slug almost too casually. "You seem to have some kind of cloning ability, that is for sure. Either you upload the consciousness into another body, or you create more bodies to serve your purposes. This would have many medical benefits here. Your technology would be something I am definitely interested in, because there are are a lot of ponies here on this world who are in desperate need of care that we cannot give simply because we are not advanced enough." he said with a more solem look on his face. The captain could probably tell what Afterglow was interested in. -Weapons- Applebloom visibly recoiled at what Warrior said. "W-well ah'll be...ain't that...unexpected? Ah' hope ya won't be eatin' anyone anytime soon...haha." she laughed nervously but didn't object to follow warrior to look for the captain.
