((Well, that's what happens when we get left to ourselves too long, we start getting imaginative.))

 

I turn towards the voice, his annoyance has only grown more pronounced the longer he's been awake.

I am slightly surprised at his comments.

"Well, aura dampening would work, but are usually area affecting thus would stop any unicorns in the room. The only reason I can see that they wouldn't just use anti-magic and be done with it is that they need us to retain our magic for some reason. I wouldn't be surprised if these bars had anti-magic in them."

I move over to the bed that has, of course, always been there. I lift the slim mattress off the bed and move it back to the corner I have been laying in.

"That, should be much more comfortable."

@@Illiad Easle,

 

"Well, that wasn't a waste of time and my batteries. Sheesh. I don't know the logistics of pony magic only how to counter it." Humbug sat back on her bed, hoping for a quick but comfortable nap. Hope lost, She was restless. "Hmm? Anti-magic you say? Maybe I could double negative the properties of the bars so you guys can do some crazy spell to get us out?"

A file, really?

I look at the hooded pony, not quite knowing if he's serious.

"Do you realize how long it would take to file your way through just one bar? ... you'd likely've able to dig through the floor faster."

I turn back to the bars, inspecting them for the flaws inherent in anti-magic iron and steel.

@@MisterRe

I look over at humbug

"Unfortunately, anti-magic can't just be double negatived like that, it would be more of a cumulative effect. However, anti-magic, when combined with iron or steel, becomes weaker, more brittle. You think you could crazy hum thing again? Only like, with you holding one of the bars?"

If the bars were anti-magiced, then the impurities would cause the metal to crack.

[MisterRe 21]

"My doctor said if I hum too loudly for too long, I'd damage my internal organs because of the vibrations. But whatever you said though. I'm up for anything." Humbug took a deep breath and bit one of the bar. Let's see if i can find the right frequency. "HMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM."

 

The bar vibrated and resonated into her body as she sung into the jail bars. She felt ever ounce of her body being shook and stirred as a large metallic sound erupted from her cell. She tried pushing the resonation back into the metal but the force was too strong. When she was done, The bar bent and cracked. Humbug was dazed.

 

"I-i don't think I could continue. My brain, headache..."

@@Illiad Easle,

 

"I am so sorry, but my magic, besides time magic which is ridiculously powerful and chaotic and can't be used right now, the only spell I know is a very weak levitation." Timeshift told him. "I'm afraid I won't be of much help... unless I find a way to stabilize my time magic." 

[MisterRe 21]

Humbug was out of commission temporarily. Her head rung like an exploded grenade. The usual pain wasn't there, just the blurred vision and hazy thoughts.

 

"My gosh, purple emblems and pink spotted death. When is my shot?" She wasn't making any sense at all.

[Illiad Easle 3,128]

I turn to the green hooded pony, slightly incredulous.

"You want me, to distract what is essentially an automaton, without magic, and nothing to work with."

"Plus, why should I trust that your plan will even work? Why should I put myself at risk when I know nothing about you?"

I sigh, shaking my head.

"I can't even feel your emotions, how do I know that you aren't with them?"

I sigh again, laying my head down between my forelegs, looking forward.

I am starting to feel slightly depressed.

"By Luna's light, what did I do to deserve this...", I mutter

Turning back towards the green hooded pony,

"There is no way I'm helping you until you stop being so secretive."

[ReverieRiver 526]

@,

 

Ariel had been quietly observing what was happening around her from her bed, curled up as if to protect herself. She didn't know what to make of all this, but the other that had recently spoken up... he seemed to have a plan of some sort. Her heart started fluttering as a spark of hope dared to ignite in her chest. Could they possibly escape?

 

@@Illiad Easle,

 

Then Illiad wanted to shoot down the plan because he didn't trust this other pony. The timid mare wasn't usually one to speak up, but somehow his attitude rubbed her the wrong way. She sat up, her posture stiffening as she looked in his direction. "Really? You don't want to help because he's being 'secretive'? His plan could work! We could get out of this stupid prison! Come on! What do we really have left to lose?!"

 

The words didn't come out as powerful as she had hoped, her voice cracked and tears welling up in her eyes. But she still honestly believed that even getting killed trying to escape would be better than being stuck in this Tartarus-hole. Then, at least, they would be free.

I sigh again, feeling Ariel's disappointment.

I turn away with a little bit of shame.

"It's ... 'sigh' I just don't know."

I turn back to Ariel,

"I want to think that his plan could work, but it relies on me distracting an automaton of a guard from its sole directive. Something I would be hard pressed to do even at full strength, and that would be with somepony that I could affect the emotions of. I can't even feel these guards as they come in the room! Plus I  can't get this ring off without somepony removing it with magic. 'sigh' The point is, I have no idea how to do this."

I sigh and lay my head down again, her disappointment getting to me. 

"And that's what scares me the most, even when Discord was attacking, when Troy was the last nation standing with me in command, I had a plan, and it failed, and now I'm here."

I close my eyes.

"I've already failed everyone once, I can't risk failing everyone again."

@

"Hey, mister green hood."

Another sigh

"You'd probably have better luck with someone else doing the distracting."

I lift my head a little bit,

That could work, maybe.

"If the guards can still feel emotion, then yes, an EmP would definitely succeed in incapacitating them. However, if they are so far removed from their equinity that they can't feel emotion any more..."

"Well, there is no risk to me if the EmP fails, so I'll try."

I stand up fully, "I'm going to need allot of emotional energy off I'm going to pull this off. So you guys may start to feel drained, maybe slightly empty inside. This should only be temporary, for introverts at least."

[Empathic pull:* from:*]

I can feel the energy slowly accumulating within. I feel invigorated.

[Illiad Easle 3,128]

I feel a sudden shift in the emotions of the room, looking around I discover that everypony suddenly passed out, some of them may be dead.

"Wow, I sure didn't expect that."

I sigh, alone again.

"All by... myself..."

It's sad, no chance to escape now.

I lay back down on the mattress, I feel the ring I on my horn.

"Well, nothing to lose now..."

I focus, channeling my magic into the ring, it quickly becomes quite warm. The ring reaches it's critical point, everything goes white. Then black.

Connor looked up, feeling slightly bored of just sitting there listening to the others speak, he wasn't getting any sleep anyway, not with all this commotion that is.

 

"If you wanna grab his attention just throw a rock at it or something, don't overthink it equines"
