private A personal letter for the one I have wronged 1x1 RP with Illiad Easle

@@Yoshikupo,

(On the tray you see the following items: A magic powered carpenter's drill, a hammer, a hatchet, a pen and pencil, a magic powered rotary bonesaw, some small scalpels, surgical scissors, a green and a blue syringe, and a pair of tweezers) 

 

Selena arrived at the base of the hill, she could vaguely make out some creatures at the top, guarding a makeshift doorway. She began to feel in the ground for the tunnel entrance, and she found it midway up the hill, she began to stealthily climb up the hill. A stray glint off her body was noticed by the spot of light it cast on the wall behind the guards. She managed to lay flat quickly enough to not be spotted by them, but they were on alert now. She started to dig her way to the tunnel, the sounds of which went unnoticed by the guards.

 

Luna sent off a letter to Jade's family, notifying them of his capture.

@@Illiad Easle,

When Jade saw the hatchet he went faster and got free from his wing ropes...sort of as it was now around his back ankles but we didn't care as he used his wings to reach the tray and got poked with a scalpel as he tried to get the hatchet, move like sliced a bit than poked. He made his legs spread and used the hatchet as quietly as he could without dropping it thinking that these guys were so dumb from how well he was getting by. he finished and started with his front hooves watching the sensitive spot that was his back so he would not get cut.

 

"has anypony seen Amethyst? She just disappeared this morning without so much as a word" Emerald said to some of the other family in the main room. Meanwhile in Manehatten Amethyst was in the sky watching Selena, debating on talking to her in her mind as she was digging a tunnel to how knows where as she hid behind a cloud

(You notice that your wing is bleeding a bit from the cut.) 

 

Jigsaw went over to where the Griffon and Earth pony were playing cards. "I do believe our prisoner may try to escape, do ensure that he doesn't. Oh, and don't kill him if he does, unlike you two I can't reanimate him." With that he left them, (You hear a door open and close in the distance) The Griffon and Earth pony look at each other, then move into their guard positions.

 

The deer returns inside the base, the sentry looks about the area, looking for anypony not in its matrices.

 

The changeling remained unconscious as the apartment door closed.

 

Luna moved towards the window, with magic she could barely make out the base from here. "Stay safe my child."

 

Selena made some progress in the hole, digging in enough that her hole body was in the hole. she estimated that she was about a quarter of the way there now. I hope he will be fine by the time I get there. I could never forgive myself if he were hurt because of me. He probably hates me for what I told him.

@@Illiad Easle,

ah crap, Jade thought as he rushed a bit to get the ropes off which worked with a small bit of blood on the tip of the hatchet though. He was free and not getting rid of the hatchet as it could be the best thing for him at the moment. He felt them getting closer so he did what he thought would be right and go on the ceiling and look for and exit nearest to him.

 

"do you think we would have told you if we knew?" Pearl said to Emerald how was quite mad that no pony knew where Amethyst was "maybe she is just gone for a little trip to the store" "she would brag about what she would buy, she woke me up in the middle of my sleep just to brag once" she explained "besides, she has no money since she has been taking care of Pyrite lately and that gives no opportunity to make a heist work, I would know since I have been doing the same" "maybe she will send us a letter, I bet somethings at the front door by now" she walks to the door.

 

She watched her a bit till she thought that it would be fine to talk to her and flew down in a pink-purple blur. "what are you doing? Also what happened to Jade?" she approached being more serious than Selena had ever seen before "I thought you two love birds would be together at all times" she dropped the seriousness for her normal brat like behavior.

(You feel strangely lucky for some reason. You see two exits to the room, one to the south and one to the east. Jigsaw exited to the east. Both ways turn a corner.)

 

The Changeling is still unconscious.

 

The Earth pony pulls out his shovel and gives it a few experimental swings (You hear noises out the South entrance)

 

The door guards did not see Amethyst. But the Dragon did hear her talking, he began to stalk down the hill listening for her again.

 

Selena was spooked by Amethyst's sudden appearance behind her. But managed to not say anything. She did her best to pantomime the urgency of remaining quite. She turned back and dug another quarter of the way to the tunnel.

 

The dragon heard the sounds of Selena digging, and proceeded further down the hill, looking for a freshly dug tunnel.

Amethyst got the message, I'm not stupid like someponys may believe, she thought then sighed, I guess helping would be the best answer right now? Even though I have no idea what this is going to accomplish. She did as she thought

(Yes I'm rolling a die, now I don't even know what will happen next. The South exit is a hallway, it turns towards the east in about two strides.)

 

Selena digs quickly and breaks through into the tunnel. A small trickle of pungent water begins to travel out the hole they dug. Selena quickly moves in to the tunnel and finds it up to her ankles with the pungent water. She waits for Amethyst to exit the hole before she begins to follow the tunnel as it goes forward and to the right.

 

The dragon didn't hear the sounds of further digging, he couldn't see very well in the dark and had long lost his sense of smell from burning so much stuff. He decided he'd search a bit longer before returning to his post.

 

The thestral emerged from the structure and took a position on the roof over the door.

Jade sneaks on the ceiling trying to get to anywhere that was not there from the hallway, he looks for anything while he goes down the hall so he can make sure where he is going

 

Amethyst still wanted to know what this was about but it seemed like a heist or something so she stayed quite even though it was probably not that. She wondered what was going on at the house and where Jade was again as she went down the tunnel.

 

"see there is a letter right here" Pearl picks it up "well...I know where Jade is now" Emerald grabs the letter and reads it "we are going to Manehatten NOW" she left the letter as she bolted off out the door "I'm going with" Pearl follows

(You quickly reach the corner of the hallway, you cannot hear anything over the faint hum of the building's inner workings.) 

 

The dragon finds the hole that Selena dug. He would call out to the door guards if he could still speak. He attempted to get their attention but they either didn't see him or simply ignored him in the case of the Zebra. The dragon decided to investigate the hole further but in trying to enter the hole he caused the tunnel to collapse. Blocking Selena and Amethyst's way back. The dragon then lost interest, concluding that whoever was trying to get in would have to go through the door to get out anyway. He returned to his post. 

 

Selena heard the dragon attempt to enter the tunnel and it's subsequent collapse. She turned back and confirmed it was indeed collapsed. It would take a while to dig that back out now that the ground had been loosened. She turned to Amethyst, the only light in this tunnel coming from her and a sort of flicker further down the tunnel. She whispered, "What are you doing here, you could have gotten us both killed."

 

The Changeling stirred into wakefulness, he was supposed to capture Selena as soon as she left the apartment but couldn't for obvious reasons. He attempted to reach Jigsaw with the communicator the deer had given him, but to no luck. The changeling cloaked and began to make his way back to the base slowly.

The changeling attempted to hail the deer, but to no avail. He kept on, arriving at the base of the hill.

 

Selena sighed before proceeding down the tunnel, It turned right, then left, then there was a sort of lit room before it went left again. She got up out of the water before she turned back to face Amethyst. "Now's not a good time to talk, Jade's been abducted by a retired government mercenary group. They want me, I was going to bust Jade out and leave, but now I have to worry about getting you out safely too." She turned to keep moving down the hallway, she could see stairs up ahead.

(You here creatures moving about in the room ahead, a griffon goes south past the earth pony, before turning west and leaving the room.)

 

The changeling finally reached the top of the hill, "Did you forget about me? I did all I could." With that the changeling went inside the structure.

 

Selena creeped up the stars, they turned a full 180 before ending at a T in a hallway, one goes north about two strides before turning east, the other goes east two strides, reaching a doorway to the east and a doorway to the south. Both ways have a pony sized hole in the ceiling about two strides down. "I am so out of my league here." 

 

(Edit, I forgot Luna's scene)

Luna remained calm at the sudden intrusion by Jade's family. "I really need to get better security for this place." She turned slightly towards Mist, "Remind me to get better security for this place." She turned fully around, casting one last glance towards the structure in the distance. "To be honest, I didn't expect you to arrive so quickly. I will tell you only what you need to know as I cannot reasonably expect you to keep an oath of secrecy. As I stated in my letter, Jade has been abducted by a rouge government mercenary group. They want Selena, so she went in an attempt to save him. The only way in to the structure where they have kept him is through the main doors which they have fortified. The secret tunnel Selena used to get in has collapsed. I must recommend that you not go after them. There is a very high chance that you will die in the attempt, these creatures were trained to kill without fear of death, for their leader has the power to heal them even from death. If you must go, then the ponies at reception will provide you with some weapons, tell them Romeo Equestria Delta sent you."

She turned away from them. "If that is all you may leave now, the sun will be rising shortly and if I know their leader..."

 

"... He'll be wanting an early start."

(You approach the East exit, you see it turns south about one stride down. you can see that it then opens into a large room, likely the same one as the other exit.)(You remember that there are plenty of sharp objects that you could use as weapons in this room.)

 

"Well, I was told this used to be a sort of military structure, those holes could be used to get between levels quickly." She looks down the different paths, "I think they would take him deep within the facility, let's split up, I'll go forward and you go left, see where these paths lead okay?" Selena moved east and turned south under the hole. she was met with two dead ends that clearly used to be doorways. She continued east into a small room, there was a door to the north with a bit of the light of sunrise shining in.

 

Luna sighed, Dear sister how do you put up with this? She turned to face the members of Jade's family. "Alright, I'll tell you what you need to know, if you repeat this to anyone, including other members of your family, I'll finally get around to arresting your family. So, Jade has been abducted by a rouge mercenary commander that used to work with the LTF, this leader was also the director of the LTF for some time and stood in as Selena's father figure while she was growing up. A terrible brain injury as a result of Jade's thievery resulted in this commander's termination and subsequent separation from Selena. This drove the commander insane and that is likely why he abducted Jade, revenge. The commander has regrouped his team inside an old military compound that some rich pony had moved here from Minos. Since the secondary tunnel collapsed the only way in is through the front door. Which is guarded by three members of the crew. Again, going at it is likely to end in your deaths as I cannot send any guards to assist you. There is a full armory downstairs that you are welcome to if you want to try to help, I will be sending guards once I hear that Jade has been found by Selena and no earlier."
