Last fast food I ate was some pizza. Which I am having tonight.

8-9 hours I think? Maybe

@Blitz Boom Magnolia stood there in silence as Soul explained himself. If he was telling the truth than he wasn't entirely responsible for acting this way but still his presence was nevertheless off putting. His quotes about the law made no sense in her eyes. That was something she was sure to address shortly. "If he is telling the truth in what he had to deal with earlier than I...excuse him for his impoliteness." she spoke, looking off to the side. "However that law he spoke of, in terms of the 'hero' and 'villain' aspect to be quite frankly stupid. I know I wasn't in the best of mindsets when I did what I did...but there are far worse out there. To put it mildly, the concepts of heroes and villains is erroneous and leads to a lack of true understanding. Rather one should look at each context individually and not put one size fits all into terms over everything. Stupid. Absolutely stupid." Magnolia was more annoyed by that than anything else that was for sure and she looked like she wanted to smash through walls...but thankfully nothing came of that other than a long sigh. However, Soul was gone now before she could say much else. She didn't have anything to really say about Dread and Soul's family business - as that wasn't in her interest. "Well, that was quite the individual. Troubled he is. But I won't pry into your situations with him. I have my own situations to attend to. I will not rest until I am brought into the fold of my true family and that is where my heart lay, along with that of my Alchemist...friend here." she smiled, and looked to Zeehva and blushed slightly upon her compliment about Magnolia's heart being too kind for that. "Thank you. But let us not focus on the law further. Let us focus on moving forward and finding what you need...as well as my Alluria Sparkle, as it were." she smirked, calmly.

@Scarlet Rose I am so sorry to hear about that. If you want to talk to me about it you can. I'm always here for you. @ExplosionMare Same for you! I'm always a few seconds away.

Same here, it sometimes is a problem for me to be honest.

I am feeling calm, but more melancholy. Got to a really hard hitting point in the story that I am reading.

@Toshigami Equine Opia takes Samurai's hoof graciously and smiles slightly at that. She no longer felt the need to repress her emotions, due to the energy of the whole crowd and the music in the background. In a spot that she never thought she'd be, she would find herself feeling more honest and open then before. "I would be delighted to." she speaks and notices Mayor Black with Mayor White. "Tell you what, I'll spend a dance or two and then I'll go and see what the Mayors are up to. I am glad that the two of them are enjoying their time. I work for Mayor Black after all." Opia spoke almost seductively, but ever so slightly. She'd match Samurai's dance movements. She clearly hadn't danced before but she was most certainly capable of it. Like her words, her dance movements were fluid and serene. Her eyes stayed locked with Samurai, who'd notice the green specs in her mane and tail glowed brighter than normal.

@Illiad Easle Maud wasn't impressed by Fury's knowledge of Red. "I can't trust anyone with the way things have been going. I like Red. She is helping me. Although the fact you somehow know that is not surprising. So, you say that I shouldn't trust her then? How come?" Maud asked as she continued along. Her hooves marched forward almost robotically onward. For a while, Maud was silent as she processed her thoughts further. "If you knew of that than you would also know that I am telling the truth. My goal here is the safety of those aboard this ship and the removal of Apollo from his position. Whoever takes power after him isn't really of my concern, so long as they care about the integrity of leadership and the safety of those on board. So tell me, where you stand in all of this? If you are not opposed to telling." Maud asked further, her eyes seeming to look deeper into her surroundings as if emitting how she truly felt. Of course, Maud wasn't lying.

@ExplosionMare The guards all had collectively appreciated Starlight's information and Moonlight had also encouraged Starlight to hand over her invite as well. The information that Starlight had spoke of was worthy of investigation so it was paramount that they would record it. With this much of a large case, the guards had been convinced at the very least - Starlight and Moonlight were onto something. However it would have to be confirmed. Rose Bridge looked to Starlight and Moonlight after the two mares had ran off. "Look, this isn't exactly what I do on a daily basis so I am going to be turning over this situation to the Captain of the guard. If you don't know who the current one is - his name is Afterglow Eventide. He's been a captain of the Guard for the past year or so. As opposed to the other previous captains he is in the Lunar Guard, however he is more than capable for handling out activities such as this. I don't know how busy he is, or what his schedule is but this is definitely important enough to warrant his attention." he spoke evenly with a sigh, after the long discussion. Moonlight accepted this response and smiled slightly. "Again, thank you for the help here. We've been through a lot in the past few days and we are looking for needed closure. Do you mind if we join in with the meetings?" Moonlight asked calmly. Definitely seemed like a stretch for sure, but it was something that she wanted to ask anyways. Rose Bridge rose an eyebrow slightly. "My apologies, but it is a private matter between the guard and the leadership. We don't know if the Princesses even have the time to attend to this matter directly but the Captain has all authority to act within bounds. This falls within that so it is likely that he will deal with this on his own. I am going to remain here as I can't simply leave the Guard Station. However, rest assured your case will be dealt with by the most capable of hooves." he calmly smiled. Moonlight nodded in understanding. While it was disappointing for the two of them to not be included on the in depth dealings of the guard she didn't have to know that. Instead something else crossed her mind, she could revisit the orphanage for the first time in years and show Starlight her upbringing. That would allow the guards to have the time to deal with their dealings and then they could find them when the matter was dealt with. It would kill two birds with one stone which was perfect. Rose Bridge looked to the two other guards next to him. "For now I am going to assign the two of you to Starlight and Moonlight here. The four of you will then be free to go where you please. Introduce yourselves, please." Rose Bridge stepped aside, and would allow the two other guards to introduce themselves to Starlight and Moonlight. One of the guards was a Pegasus stallion with a white coat and an icey blue mane and tail. His eyes were equally as so. The cutie mark on his flank was that of a blue shield with a sword behind it. No doubt that had something to do with his profession. "Greetings. My name is Barrier Shield. I will be accompanying you throughout the city of Canterlot. As you can tell I am a guard, but that isn't all I do. I like to build shields and tools for the other guards. I have a few new designs that they are looking to implement." he spoke calmly and evenly. Moonlight nodded, and looked to the other guard. The other one was an Earth Pony mare with an orange coat with a dual tone mane and tail of red and lighter orange. Her hair had some swirls, while her eyes were of a deep brown color. The mare smiledto them, but something about that smile was a bit off. "And my name is Prominence. Simply Prominence. I used to be a logger before I decided to change careers and become a guard. I found myself here, amongst these others here. Don't worry though, we won't bite." she spoke with some kind of accent, clearly not being a native to Canterlot. Moonlight shook hooves with the two guards before allowing Starlight a chance to introduce herself. Prominence smiled to Moonlight specifically. "Welcome home, Moonlight." she said warmly. This confused Moonlight a great deal, who shifted about awkwardly. "Do I know you from somewhere? How did you know that?" Moonlight asked in a confused manner. Prominence simply smiled gently. "I simply know. That's my talent." she spoke, pointing to her cutie mark which was a beautiful red mandela. Moonlight decided to not question this. However one question did cross her mind. "Should we go now? It seems like we are done here." Moonlight spoke while the two guards would step closer. "You may go now. Your two companions have a Soundstone so we'll be able to contact them and update you on the situation. Please stay out of trouble. That goes without saying." Rose Bridge would wave them off. Moonlight would smile and wave. Like that, the four would depart the guard station. Moonlight looked to Starlight. "I know where I want to go. The Orphanage." Moonlight spoke, almost giving a slight whimper at that as the memories from her past began to flow in like an untapped river. Prominence simply kept the same knowing grin. "You'll find closure soon enough. Trust in yourself." she spoke suddenly, leaving Moonlight confused and at a loss for words. If Starlight didn't object, Moonlight would begin proceeding towards the Orphanage in the city. Will take a few minutes to get there though. Barrier Shield stayed silent - he wasn't a talker. ------------------------------------------ Meanwhile, the two other mares that were sent out earlier would soon arrive at the castle. The two of them ran quickly with the various notes and documents stuffed into their armor. Other guards and passerbys watched on and assumed there were urgent manners to attend to. Little to their knowledge however, they were correct. The two mares scampered on through the halls and stopped short of a doorway. This would lead to the Captain's office. Two other guards were standing on duty in front of the doorway. "Well, you two look out of breathe. What's up?" a green Pegasus stallion asked the two guards. The two of them looked to each other before Polar Spring stepped forward. "We have urgent matters to discuss. National Security. Rose Bridge sent us here. I cannot disclose that information without permission from the Captain. Please let us in and you'll know shortly. Is Afterglow here?" she asked. The Pegasus stallion rose an eyebrow but opened the door for them and allowed them in. On the other side was a short hallway with three other doors. They proceeded forward into the open doorway at the end. There was an indigo Pegasus stallion rummaging through his papers. "Where is it? Where is it? I need that paper, the Princesses need the Census report by the end of the month. I gotta notarize that...aha!" he smiled as he founded his paper and turned to put it onto the desk and then saw the two mares there. "Hello? I wasn't expecting any visitors today as I am mainly going through my paperwork today. Please, sit down." he spoke before gesturing to two chairs in the front of the small office area. The office area was fairly ornate and well crafted. As one would expect. The ceiling was tall and had two stained glass windows. One representing Celestia and the sun, and the other representing Luna and the Moon. The two mares sat down. "We uh, have some serious stuff we were informed about, Captain. We work at Rose Bridge's station and two unicorn mares came in and informed us about some National Security issues outside of Ponyville." Mell Swirls spoke. "Outside of Ponyville, you say? That is one of the last places I would expect something like that to be. I am quite curious! Oh, and Rose Bridge? I haven't heard that name in a while. Him and I go back a couple years. We were close in Academy days, eh? I guess some things change after all. What is it you would like tell me?" Afterglow asked, putting his hooves onto the desk. The two mares pulled out the notes and the invitations they were given. Afterglow narrowed his eyes as he looked at the notes. "Secret cults...ascensions...dark crafts and suspicious events? Well, I'll be damned. Can't say I see this every day." he remarked. "Who are these two mares that you spoke of? Are they still in Canterlot, they better be." he sighed. "Don't worry, Rose Bridge took care of it. Their names are Moonlight and Starlight Glimmer. Rose Bridge recommended we send four carriages to Ponyville." Polar Spring spoke and told Afterglow their descriptions of the mares. The two of them were very nervous about this. "I'll have a look at these on the way to Ponyville. I will do a quick meeting with the staff. We need to be quick about this one. Follow me." he spoke and took the papers. Sliding his Lunar guard armor on he would lead the two mares into a large conference hall down the larger hallway. They were told to wait. After a few minutes of waiting a selection of guards would enter in followed by Afterglow himself. Celestia was off mediating some sort of treaty with the Dragons while Luna was dealing with other things. Naturally, the Authority had fallen to Afterglow himself to decide what the course of measure would be. The selection of guards would sit down in their respective seats. The guards would discuss the information at hand. It was quite a lot for all of them to take in and after about a full ten minutes of discussion it was decided that they would depart for Ponyville. Afterglow made the final call. With a command, the guards went running every which way to prepare the carriages. Various Equipment was loaded onto the carriages. One of the Carriages was cleared out and some anti-magic emitters. Just in case they were able to actually find who they were looking for. Afterglow wrote a letter to Celestia, informing her of the situation. The letter was magical, and when lit aflame it would end up in Celestia's possession. With a spark, he lit the flame. Like that, the carriages flew off to Ponyville.

@Blitz Boom Here you go. You don't need a pm.

(OOC: Magloria could tell that she was being followed although they were no real indications as to who it was at the moment. The lone mare wandered through the frozen north, keeping her eyes and ears peeled for anything unusual. She was nearing her cave. However anyone watching Magloria would notice that she was dragging something...or someone. There was a crystal pony mare trapped in what seemed to be a crystal of some kind. It's blue glowing hue was seen shining across the winter snow. The poor mare was trapped in a state of stasis, she wasn't in any pain but she was restrained all the same. Taken away from her loving family. It was an easy hunt so to speak. All Magloria had to do was visit the nearby Crystal Empire and find a lone unsuspecting soul. Easy said than done though, as she could feel that she was being followed. With haste, she would reach the entrance of her cave and dragged the mare along the ground. The cave itself was expansive and she had worked on it for several years in order to give it what it really needed to be livable for her line of 'work' as it were. With a vile smirk across her face she proceeded into the cave. Instinctively, blue flames lit up on her entry and lit up a large hallway with various steel doors in place. Some of the the things here she had built for her in the past. The hallway was very eerie to say the least with the blue mist flowing out from under the doors almost organically. With a hoof raised a large door at the end of the hall would silently open. The room that was revealed was circular shaped and with many levels. There were at least a few dozen ponies of all various races, from various locations about the world. The mare she dragged was placed into an open spot and Magloria connected a series of crystals to the mare's crystal encasement. Her hoof was placed over the mare and Magloria's mane and tail glowed blue. The blue glow was transferred into the mare's trapped form, completing the process. "Oh, you are going to love it here along with all of your friends." she spoke soothingly, her grin turning to a calm grin. She was so far removed from the process she had done many times before. It was very interesting to feel a new stream of magic flow into her. Her mane and tail pulsed blue in an organic fashion, she was already sensing the mare's magic. Walking out of the room, the large door closed itself as she proceeded outward. There was still a nagging feeling of something not being right. She had not yet felt this before that was to be sure. Upon heading outside of the entrance to her cave she would look up at the cloudless blue sky that shone over the otherwise frozen and desolate landscape. Of course, her body was used to this. However out of nowhere she spotted someone else standing there right besides her. Her horn began to glow blue.

IC: This is the OOC thread for @Blitz Boom and I's private one on roleplay. Anyone viewing this is welcome to read, but as this is a private RP it is between the two of us.

@Blitz Boom Magnolia gives Soul a harsh glare to match, perhaps even exceeding his own. For such a pretty mare as Magnolia were something about her eyes was soul piercing. It was clear she didn't take kindly to Soul's remarks nor what he had spoke of. Soul didn't seem like the type that would be sent after to look for Magnolia herself however it wasn't out of the realm of possibility. Still though, she was deeply angered by this internally and she bore her teeth slightly in clear disapproval of his presence. "If this was any other day, or any other place - I would have already wiped the floor with your foul remarks. I am not here to cause scenes today, and neither should you. If you are here to help than help, but if not than you can simply leave and return from where you came." Magnolia said in an intimidating fashion, directly staring her down. Zeehva would almost be able to feel Magnolia's sense of rage. "Can already tell you aren't like the rest of them. You must feel beaten down. Discriminated against. With that I find myself in similar situations...though not currently. I am not above sympathy, but neither are you an exception to things." she smirked in a sly manner, focusing on what he said last. "Quite frankly, it is none of your concern what my business is but if you are so curious about it, I am seeking this...Alluria Sparkle to connect with. Then from there, I will head to the Crystal Empire and seek audience with Shining Armor and Princess Cadence. Not as friend or foe, but as family." she put emphasis on the last word. Family. After all, that is what mattered most to Magnolia currently besides Zeehva.

@Toshigami Equine Normally, Opia would react emotionlessly but due to her friendship with Mayor Black she felt herself rather offended at what Linda had stated. Nevertheless, she had grabbed the key card and marched up to the desk in a bit of an intimidating fashion. "You are wrong. Mayor Black is not a greedy or self-centered pony. He may not show it often but he has a very big heart. He offered to bear the brunt of someone's injury without cost to anyone else. He leads this town in ways that most do not see or respect. Perhaps if you give him a little bit of a appreciation once in a while he'll soften up and you'll see him for who he really is." she spoke in a calm yet domineering manner. She didn't usually do this, so it came out rather awkward. "I want you to relay a note to him for me. Let me get a pen and paper here. After that, I'll be at uh...err...a concert. I have some...friends I need to see. Please make sure he reads it in the morning." she spoke and grabbed the Pen and paper from the desk and walked off to the other room to focus on her writing, leaving Linda to her own devices. Once in the other room Opia began to write. The paper would lead as follows: "I think if I've learned anything about friendship, it's to hang in and stay connected. Don't walk away, don't be distracted, don't be too busy or tired, and most certainly don't take them for granted. Friends are part of the glue that holds life together. Every friendship travels at sometime through the black valley of despair. This tests every aspect of your affection. You lose the attraction and the magic. Your sense of each other darkens and your presence is sore. If you can come through this time, it can purify with your love, and falsity and need will fall away. It will bring you onto new ground where affection can grow again. My interest for you grows. I admire everything about you. When I look into your eyes, I can feel a kindred spirit. I only want to be with you, please you, and give you the same happiness that you have given me. If I were granted but one wish up to this point, it would be that we spend more time together bettering ourselves and this town. I know that we have known each other for merely a day, but I can tell that we have a bright future in this town together. All the others I've met say you are greedy and self centered. They don't see the real you because they haven't opened their eyes and looked at you for who you really are. I have made many mistakes in my time but coming here isn't one of them. I will stand by your side when others won't." Once the paper was finished she signed her name with an odd looking O to start her name and folded the paper. Handing it to Linda, she would exit the bunker and return to the others. However...she would have a different manner of returning to them this time. While she didn't really like the loud noises of the concert - she felt as if she was meant to be there for the conclusion of the day. @Toshigami Equine @Courageous Thunder Dash @Dynamo Pad @Ragland Tiger @Reality Check @Kronos the Revenant With a calm breathe and a hoofstep forward Opia's form evaporates in a green mist. She lets loose a gasp as the feeling of disconnection takes over. The mist forms into that of a solid green pulsating ball of light. A calm sigh echoes through the air from the ball of green light. It had been so long since Opia had been in her true form. The green ball of light soars off into the sky with a sparkling green trail tracing behind it much like a comet. Above the lights and cheers of the concert the green ball would float and circle overhead and bits of it's energy would fall off like dry flakes and hit those below. Those dry flakes would give the ponies a seeming boost of energy, if only slightly. Little did they know, Opia was sharing a bit of her life force with them. Looking down at the crowd, she was most saddened to see that Starlight wasn't there. None of the others she really knew were down there - but regardless she was going to join them. If she was going to spend time in this town, she can start meeting them right now. Samurai. She remembered him. The ball guides gracefully down and floated right in front of his face. "Pardon for my intrusion, I'd like to join you. I know Starlight and Mayor Black aren't here, but that's fine. I love the two of them the same. If you don't mind...this is who I really am. I'm not actually a pony or a physical life form like you are. I am a manifestation of the force that invigorates and gives life to this world. I am responsible for guarding over life itself. At least, that's what I'd like to think. My mother brought me into being a conscious form, rather than that of just being life force itself." her voice was angelic. With that said, the orb would poof away and Opia would hop down in front of where Samurai was. She simply smiled.

Good, will be shaving shortly.

@Blitz Boom Magnolia would hold the papers in her hoof in a strange manner and they would catch on fire. Well, a black fire and then vanish. Truthfully there was no harm done to them, it was merely her unsummoning spell she uses when she needs to. "I see, and I understand. I will seek out this Alluria Sparkle. I doubt that she has met Twilight or one of her siblings so maybe my meeting with her would be of interest. I always was a night person myself. It is far easier to go throughout the wood at night than it is during the day. I can blend anywhere rather than in one place. The night is calm, quiet, yet peaceful. While daytime is nice, I am one of the night. As matter of fact, that is my real name if I hadn't said it already - Moonlight Sparkle." she spoke with a hoof put to her chest with paramount importance. Upon seeing the shadow she would take a slight step back and look on at the arrival of a pony through the shadow. It was an ability that Magnolia knew how to do as well so she already and she smirked slightly at his rather impressive arrival onto the scene. "Well, I can't say I expected to meet a fellow shadowmancer around in these parts today, but as we were saying Dread, would you be able to find someone who can lead me to Alluria Sparkle? I want to talk with her." she glanced over to Zeehva. "If that is alright with you, the two of us can visit the manor as soon as possible. This is urgent." she spoke in an urgent manner.

I am very annoyed at my computer issues. I am thinking about how to fix it.

@Loud Opinion @Kujamih @Windy Snow @Radiant Reindeer Spiral Spell leaned into listen to Calamity's instructions carefully. After all, Spiral was usually a conspirator in many situations so she reveled in the idea. It was always a euphoric feeling to plot behind other's backs - no matter how small. "Can do, can do. I trust everything is alright around here?" she spoke and glanced over to Void, as if annoyed by her skittishness.

@Sunny Man and Izzy Man I can tell we share similar thoughts on some of the things in this list.

Haven't got one since August.
