Hopefully mentioning Everwood without specifically mentioning the stick going through her would work. "The Princesses used to ride through the portal in a carriage made out of Everwood because the portal requires the magic of the Everwood to open."

"Alright then, that just happened" Midnight said to himself after seeing the wasp nest. "I wonder if there are any exterminators around here" midnight went outside and found a pay phone, he found a number for an exterminator and slid a bit in to the slot, he stood there for a moment waiting for someone to pick up, finally someone did, "Harry's Hitmen, how can I help you?" "sorry, wrong number, bye" midnight hung up the phone "wow, I hope that he doesn't get angry at me for hanging up and tries to send some Hitmen to take me out, that would give me an opportunity for something to RP if I don't have anything else to do in casual stroll" after midnight was done doing the RP equivalent of blowing a rasberry directly into the face of the fourth wall he called an actual bug exterminator, he would be there soon

Seeing the full fledged Siren in front of her, Ziggy lost the last restraints she had and zoomed over to hug Serenade. It felt kinda funny, but not in a bad way, and usually nothing bad came from hugs. Unless things had spikes, that wasn't the best situation to go for it... Again...

 

As Ziggy had her hooves around the Siren as best she could and her head pressed again her with a gleeful smile going over her face, Omen just looked at it, wondering if thatwas something she were supposed to do. After a bit though, she decided to just slowly walk forward again, and the whispering voice went through the pony and the siren's minds again.

 

"You hide because other Sirens have done bad? How bad a thing can somepony do to make that  happen? Take over the country?"

 

She were curious as to how a Siren worked too, but this caught her mind first. What would catch it next were still to be seen, though it wasn't the judging eyes of others, nor the unbridled glee that Ziggy seemed to have. Omen was simply curious, which couldbe heard int he voice wandering through their heads.

Vivid smirked slightly, then started to walk towards them.

 

"Good, we have a deal then. Now, let us not waste time here anymore. If you can lead us to a place where the doors to the sleeping can be found Charlie, lead the way for us. Though, a wiord of advice: When we get to him, stay close, and let me wander first. He is not as passive as I, and will not take kindly to unknown guests."

 

With that she stood up close with the others and looked at Charlie. He would need to lead the way out of their dreams and towards a place where they could find others. They would see how soon after that it would be her turn to take over.

"Siren songs...are powerful...very few...creatures can...break enchantment." She squirms a bit as Ziggy hug is becoming uncomfortable. "Three Sirens...tried to...conquer Equestria...Starswirl banished...them."

 

She takes a deep breath, "I hide...because ponies...certain ponies...would imprison...me for...being a...Siren" She looks back toward Canterlot, eyeing the Castle with something between fear and apprehension.

midnight waited in the corner for the exterminator to come, he pulled out a spell book he had bought a while ago and recited a spell that was supposed to create a shield around him that bugs wouldn't be able to penetrate, he had been told time and time again that pegasai couldn't use magic and it would only work for a pony with a pointy magic horn sticking out of their head, but he used the spells all the same, he knew they didn't work but it helped him calm down about the massive wasp nest in his attic. After what felt like forever an older pony with a tank of bug gas (or whatever it was called, he didn't know all that much about how exterminations worked) and a mask to keep himself from breathing it. "I was called about a wasp nest" he said "yes! Thank you!" Midnight replied "it's just in the attic" the two of them went up and found it "alright, I suggest you put this on" the exterminator handed him a mask with a tube coming from over the mouth and tiny windows over the eyes "it'll keep you from inhaling all the deadly, deadly fumes"

Charlie was getting excited, soon he would be able to see the real world for the first time, and he'd be able to explore it. "Okay! Let's get going then! Now, portals are much easier to create when the dreamer's mind isn't trying to make something appear there, so if you could either clear your mind or bring us somewhere you've never been, then imagine a door there, I can easily create a portal behind it." Charlie was clearly having trouble staying still, he didn't want to waste any time.

"Somewhere with a door, that I have never been?"

 

Vivid stopped her steps, then turned around and wandered down the town square until they reached a forked road. She had signalled for the other two to follow, and in the case of Briar, had added some words about it too since it wouldn't register with him, and when they were both there they would be able to see that there was a sign that showed what were to the sides, yet not in front of them where the path faded into dark trees.

 

She kept walking in there, following the trail for a few metres before the trees started to clear and a field of blurry grass and floating boulders were seen. In the middle of this, where the road ended, a large stone door was seen in a half-crumbling building that seemed to swing between half completed and half decayed.

 

"Curious, isn't it? I know I used to be in this place when I was a foal and played with the others, and yet this is the only section I cannot form any real memories about. When I try to think of it, I get nothing but the memories that the Shaman who drove me from town were building his home out here, and then... Nothing. It's like a part is missing, though I'm not sure why."

 

Vivid stood silent for a bit, then looked over at the two dream invaders relatively impatient.

 

"The price of a long memory I suppose, but it isn't important anymore. Lead us onwards."

"Weird reason to judge somepony. Isn't what you do yourself more important than what your kin did?"

 

"Well Duh, of course! Some ponies are just a little dense in it."

 

Ziggy had gotten her share of Siren-hugs for now and had let go of Serenade as Omen had started to speak with them, making a backflip and ending more or less next to the questioning pony.

 

"Or well, a Lot dense in it. Stereotyping never really shows much is rockin' in the noggin' if you catch my drift."

 

Basically, the ones who did that were a bunch of mean stupid heads. You couldn't just judge everypony by what 1 of their friends, family, species or neighbour had done unless you had proof, but logic had a way of evading some minds, and though this might be a bit more uhm... Special in it than what she had seen, it was still just stupid. The mar- Siren! hadn't hurt anypony after all far as she could see, and right now just looked more afraid and harmless in it.

 

To purgatory with what others of her kin had done as far as Ziggy was concerned, though from the tone and way she looked towards the castle, Serenade seemed to fear somepony higher up. She just hoped it wasn't the princesses. It wouldn't fit them to judge like this. Not when ruling a place called Equestria.

Sanctus led Gold out of the bar and turned towards the hospital. It was a bit of a walk, but it was okay. She could use the time to try and keep him talking, just to see if his speech started to get slurred or something worse.

 

"While we're walking, mind if i ask, what is the most intrigate adnd big statue you have had to make? I can't imagine anypony that would be good to that sort not getting a challenge one day. Or something to look at as the height of their skills."

"Eh, not as much as you might think."

 

A young pony, around his start twenties with a yellow coat, red mane and tail, and a cutie mark looking like a wasp with small X's as eyes showed up wearing a mask of his own and a net.

 

Considering the gasses and the different critters that at times were poisonous or violent they were sent after, it wasn't a job that could just be done by one pony safely. It required a back up at the least, though this was more a case of *apprentice and master' really. The specs was generally the same, but it just meant that there was only one who's word were final in things if it came to that, which fitted the stallion with the slightly bored eyes well. It was easier to work under orders than to waste time arguing after all.

 

"The gas is deadly to the critters, but unless the hospital's moved to the other end of the Everfree at this point, there ain't enough way between here and there to really mean it'd kill. It'd hurt like you'd swallowed these wasps though, so I'd make sure the mask was on safely again if I was you."

 

He moved forward, checked his own mask again just to not be hit by the spiky stick of irony, then looked to his boss to await the signal. Not so much for the gas, but more for the inevitable of having to remove the nest which - surprise - fell on him shoulders. He just hoped it wouldn't be literal this time.

She went to the log and picked up a small twig with a leaf on it and placed it inside her satchel the she got up. Seeing Seamore and Priestess are sort of at a stand still. Syo picked up a stick of Everwood and then tossed it to Seamore.

 

"Here," Syo said as she tossed it over. Syo got off the cart and looked at the castle. Her explorer instincts are starting to trigger, her curiosity was growing. "I think I will find my own way across first, I like to get first crack at exploring that place!"

 

Syo then teleported using her portal over to the castle and left the group for a moment. As she entered the castle, there was a strange magical vibe in the air as she walked into the castle. Syo started to look around, going down one of the hallways first.

Missklang came back to reality with a snap. Where is he? What happened? The scythe must had some sort of poison on it. He wondered what would happen if he didn't have the resistance to that kind of stuff. From what he felt, he didn't faint but just followed everybody like a zombie. At least it could be worse. He shivered when he thought that he could easily wonder in the woods while still being unaware... He deals with time and spatial disorientation all the time anyway. He was near the carriage and heard the fox arguing with the lumber pony about a portal. 

 

"A portal? Great! It seems strangely familiar. I'm sure I went through a portal like that before, but I can't remember... You need a stick in order to get through? Ii always passed without just fine. Maybe because it sees me as a part of the Everfree. I do have a lot of Poison Joke's poison in my body. You have no reason to worry, Priestess! I always landed in one piece on the other side. But I do remember that something surprised me when I did. Can't remember what...But I know for sure, this type of portals won't just send us to the destination. Something else will happen. After all, It was designed for Alicorn use, not for ponies. You see, when a portal is created with a specific role and for a specific use, the least matching criteria that are required there is, the wonkier and unpredictable the side effect is... Imagine if it teleports us to the castle, but in the past when Luna became Nightmare Moon and is banished to the moon! Won't that be fun? I doubt that the side effect is that serious, though. After all, we have at least some of the requirements correct."

"A want to explore... That I can at least understand."

 

"Well duh, exploring is Fun! And the stars are pretty, so I bet that they'd be cool to explore too. Especially if you could catch one."

 

Ziggy raised up on her hind legs and feebly reached towards the sky with her front hooves, pretending to grab for a star. She wasn't stupid, and she knew you couldn't actually do that unless you were Princess Luna, but she had a habit of doing weird things like this. It made things fun for her, and well... Sometimes she had trouble controlling her impulses.

 

"But why would anypony want to hurt an explorer of the sky?"

 

Omen had caught the last part, though it was lowered when Serenade had said it. She was used to whispers and voices from afar, and out here in this relatively quiet spot, she could hear it well too. Although, just because she heard it didn't mean that she understood the meaning, nor that it was mostly just a saying to say things such as that.

Seamore accepted the stick from Syo, holding it in his mouth, "Thanks." Priestess didn't seem to understand what was going on, then Missklang said something that didn't make much sense. "If you insist..." Seamore was confused by Missklang's statement, but if he was sure he could make it through the portal without a piece of Everwood, he was free to test that theory. Missklang seemed capable enough, maybe he would have to go to the castle directly, but what was important was that he most likely could. "Here goes nothing." With that Seamore pushed his way through the portal, which gave him a little resistance, though it did not hold any resistance against the Everwood. The cart move through behind him with ease.

 

On the other side of the portal was a bright, colorful world with grass that seemed to glow, and a beautiful starry night sky with more colors than a rainbow. There were giant glowing mushrooms and fireflies all around. Through the portal they could see Missklang behind them, though he could not see them.

She saw a third pony, or used to be, before it dematerialized into a glowing wisp, which proceeded to make it's way to her and hover above her stick.

"They'd all better be here, or else I'm gonna turn you into a husk." She growled through her teeth.  She stuck her head inside the hole of the willow tree. "Let's see. 1,2,3,4,5,6." She let out a breath she didn't know she was holding. "Oh good, you're all here." She went behind the tree and saw a crude, thick wooden box made form sticks and branches. "And you're still here too. Perfect." She said a she telekineticked the box over to the front of the tree. She then lifted 3 things from the tree and placed them inside the box. The next three she took out one by one, gently in her teeth. All 6 were now in the box.  She then lifted the whole thing and placed it on her back. The stick box seemed to shift it's shape, caving in  and spreading out to the sides, so that the whole apparatus hung over her sides, like a pair of stiff saddlebags.

Last jumped over to Missklang. The pony had been unresponsive the last time she spoke with him before this portal opened up and they went through. The place looked odd, surreal, and perhaps more things would spring to mind if she actually wanted to look around at the place, but there wasn't more as it was a fleeting glimpse whilst trying to find this one, and now he had popped forth again she wasn't gonna let him off once more.

 

"I'll try again: Can you please get this dang Chaos nightmare out of me? This form is irritating, and if this is really her majesty's place, I don't want to meet her again looking like your pet."

 

A sense of urgency was heard in her voice along with the irritation of what she were still stuck as. Princess Luna had last met her and the rest of the ponies where she lived when she was exactly that, a pony, and she didn't want to end up having a face to face with her looking like a ball of fluff-Argh!

 

The sensation as if her skeleton was churning went through her as the active chaos magic in her began to fade and she slowly increased in size and shape to what she really were.

 

Whilst this was going on, Vivid stood and looked down on Briar that were rubbing his head slightly, as if he had a headache, next to the cart.

 

"Stop that, and get up. You're a dream apparition formed by your consciousness, not a physical being right now. You can only feel pain if you keep convincing yourself of it."

 

It might sound somewhat harsh, but with what had just happened with them being dragged through the gate like that, she were not in the best of moods. She did not enjoy being dragged and flung into places like this, and though the impact hadn't hurt as her mind wasn't trying to convince herself that she should feel pain or cold like when she were actually awake, it was still getting on her nerves.

 

She cared not for this place, nor that it might belong to a princess. She had a deal to do her part of, and little want to waste her time with side business unless it had some importance. If that didn't show soon, she'd find some way to tear a hole in the fabric of this place one way or another and get on with her task.

 

While Briar was getting up, but staying silent for the time being, Last had gotten through her uhm... *moment* and now stood as she had been before the chaos poison. That is, if you ignored the spots of eye-goo, inert poison and she didn't want to know what else here and there on her coat. Not that it mattered either. She could wash it of later and be done with that. What mattered now was that she was herself again, which meant that she had to go to the cart.

 

Passing by Missklang she mumbled something, though it wasn't completely audible except for the word *timing*. Getting to the cart, she took off her stuff from the cart, which meant the saddlebags where the left one wasn't a bag but the scabbard to her blade, and then the blade itself. With that done, she turned to the others, looking for an explanation just like most of them likely did right now.

"Your...not a typical pony...are you". Serenade's ears twitch and she seems a bit uneasy around Omen, trying to suppress a shiver.

Cresent was more looking around and trying to guss where they really were. He never got to use portals before and was surprised he barley felt anything as the party passed through. When they did he was amazed at the place, this was Luna's dream world all right. Luna rarely showed up in his dreams which he always found kind of odd. then he herd the screaming pony breaking him out of wonderment. as he turned he saw 3 blurs slam into the cart, hitting it hard enough to lurch him off.

 

He grumbled getting back off the ground looking at where the cart was hit
"who in the hey, oh man do you guys ever make a simple entrance?" he said seeing the two pony's on the ground by the cart, he then noticed the whisp above the fox "um...im sorry I forgot your name"

 

hearing the chaos pony enter he turned seeing him close the door behind him. "and your back good was a little worried you fell behind"

"I'm guessing were gonna be here for a while. Might as well let my bae know where we are." She pulled out another paper strip. Just like before they left, she dabbed her tail tip on her open stick wound, criss crossed the glyphs on the strip, folded it into a crane, but before she let it fly, bounded over to the wagon on 3 legs, grabbed the end of an Everfree branch in her teeth, and with a jerk of her head, snapped it off. She then softly softly whispered to it, "Watashi no tame ni watashi wa saiai no kensaku." She watched as the twig toting crane drifted on the Umbral winds, out through the portal.

Queen Allure was zipping over the tree tops of the Everfree. The nature of the forest was acting like radio static to her thaumaturgical sense. The castle was now within sight, and so was a paper crane. Allure hit the brakes. She held out a holed hoof for the crane to land on. This time it appeared to have a twig balanced on it's back. She lifted the twig off the cranes back. "HEY! LISTEN!" It said in it's still frightening guttural growly voice, before proceeding to unfold into parchment. The queen read over the kanji, an eye brow raised in a quirky fashion. "Say what? You want me to go where? And to have me keep this?" she looked to the twig in her magical grasp. "Alright. Just as long as it's safe over there." she got back to moving, altered her course to the oath that lead to the castle. 

 

Even through the Everfee static, she still felt the weak changeling signal, meaning they must've been somewhere in the vicinity. "I'll get to you eventually. But right now, I've got something much more important to take care of."
