open Equestrian Prisoners [RP]

@,

 

Twilight grumbled to herself, "so, how do i bipass the magic on them, I want to be able to shapeshift" she growled. She picked up her tray and threw it on the floor, she would have a tantrum. A proper tantrum. She glared at the guards, she would defiantly cause trouble.

Enigma glanced at the bracelet and snickered. "The Magic detector is hard to bypass." He looked around the cafeteria. "If you wanted to bypass it you would need to disguise as the warden, which you can't because it prevents you from shapeshifting and using magic."

Shadow glared at Twilight and said as he picked up the tray with a tentacle of the tray's shadow,

"Don't be throwing a fit, and why not enjoy it. If ya have to deal with my work, ya would enjoy this, and besides, the warden is surrounded by guards so how are you going to get to him without magic.

He waved to the guard and said, 

"Hey tell the ponies, that make this crap, to do a little better, and add more meat to it."

@@Randimaxis, Diego barely looked at the other prisoners as he walked thru the general area. None of them seemed to be glancing at him, but he knew that they were. Nopony dared now to challenge him, not after he'd proved how powerful he was, despite his appearance. Maybe he'd break out of here; it was getting kinda boring now that they kept adding to his sentence. He went out into the exercise yard, thinking that he'd amuse himself by performing a few minor chaos spells, and saw the newcomer. A transfer, if he remembered rightly. Might be worth getting to know...

[Randimaxis 8,652]

The stallion walked a slow gait around the fence's parameter, his keen eyes following the chain-link for even the slightest of nicks.  That done, he made his way over to one of the rickety old benches provided for the convicts and took a seat carefully, slowly settling down as if his age was bothering him.

 

This was hardly the case, but let the rabble think whatever they wanted to; he hardly cared.

 

He lounged back against the firmly-concrete-set bench and gave the yard a cursory once-over, trying to see what he could discover before it discovered him.

And here came trouble.

 

The stallion had seen it all over the other one as he came out into the yard.  He looked like the kind of trouble that would leave smoke, rubble and ponies in tears of anger and sorrow; the sort of pony who'd do anything he damn well pleased, simply for the kicks.  The kind of pony who loved being the center of attention, damn the consequences.

 

In other words, the kind of pony who could be rather useful to someone like the elder stallion.

 

He sat there, looking disinterested in everything around him - a usually sure-fire way to attract the attention of the equally bored.

[Pripyat Pony 2,608]

@@Randimaxis, Diego didn't think anything of the transfer's look of boredom, save that he immediately figured that heading to where the other pony was sitting was the best idea to relieve his own boredom. He'd find out exactly what kind of pony this stallion was, maybe irritate him a little, but still find out what he wanted to know. Diego never bothered to find out whether another pony wanted to talk to him, he just went ahead and did it anyway. He sized up the newcomer as looking old and tired, but figured that there must be more to this pony than that, as Diego had noticed how none of the other prisoners in the yard were bothering him. Indeed, they seemed to be purposely avoiding the transfer.

 

Sitting down next to the transfer, Diego said, "So, what's your name? And, what are you in for? This place is a dump, and just so dull. Would be better, but every time I try to liven things up a bit, the guards just show their tragic lack of humour."

[Randimaxis 8,652]

@Pripyat Pony

 

 

The stallion didn't acknowledge Diego when he sat down, but he did give a tiny, self-satisfied grin when he spoke.  The indigo eyes slid towards him, and the old stallion fixed him with a mildly interested stare.

 

"Aren't you talkative?  Not that it's an issue; somepony actually speaking to me in such a manner is quite a difference after the absolute idiots in Canterlot's cells.  The rabble can be so very tiring, after all."

 

His words were smooth and polished; he wasn't some bumpkin from Apploosia, that much was certain.  He gave a lofty sigh, as if releasing the pressure of the world upon his shoulders... then gave Diego a bit of a mischievous grin.

 

"The guards, twice so... but of course, they ARE merely here for our entertainment, aren't they?"

 

He now turned to fully face his tablemate better; Diego could see that this stallion might be old, but the size of the cords of muscle twisting under his coat said that age meant very little in this one's case.

 

"Erasmus Blackwater, at your humble service."  He gave a polite bow, treating Diego like a governor instead of a lunatic.  "And my crime?  Bah - what good is having your own company if you aren't allowed to take money from it when you need to?  Of course, my patsy wasn't happy about the ordeal... but once I'm out of this place, they won't be happy about ANYTHING EVER AGAIN."

 

At the last words of his sentence, Erasmus' muzzle took on a momentary look of exquisite hatred; it seethed in every fiber of the robust Earth Pony's entire body language - he was livid with anger for all of two seconds.  Then, smoothing back his mane with a hoof, he took a deep breath and let it out slowly.

 

"My sincerest apologies," he said, "I'm afraid my temper got away from me for a moment.  Do pardon the slip."

 

He ran his steel-trap gaze over Diego.  "And yourself?  What brings you to this place of 'internment and compassion'?"  He snorted sarcastically.

@@Ruby Splash, @@reader8363, Enigma glanced at Shadow's tray, then his own. He let out a snicker wondering why Shadow chose tentacles over a hayburger and salad, although Enigma had already finished his food. "I would think it best to leave the warden alone." He said pulling the sleeve up his right leg showing a scar that occupied the whole leg. "This was what they did to me last time I tried to kill him." He pulled the sleeve back down. "I'm going to be in the exercise park, nice meeting you two." Enigma stood up from his chair and made his way out of the cafeteria, he then made his way to the exercise room.

[reader8363 1,281]

After Shadow was done in the cafeteria, he flew to one of the main area's many windows and laid down in the sun, then he would occasionally blow a bit of fog on a pony that happen to pass underneath him

 

Dark got up and started walking around the prison to see how it's different from the other one

[Pripyat Pony 2,608]

@@Randimaxis, Diego smirked. "My name's Diego. Strange name, I know, but my mother likes to frequent bars and gamble a lot. She's relieved many an unsuspecting stallion of their bits in the past. As for me, I like to amuse myself. Since my talent is chaos magic, that usually results in a lot of damage and upset ponies. Not that I care; I've tried all that trying to fit in with a marefriend and foal stuff, and it didn't work out. Now, I just please myself. Unfortunately, like the guards in here, other ponies just have no sense of humour. But why would I not try out my magic, hmm? I have a talent for chaos magic and am very talented in magic. Sounds like bragging, I know, but it's only the truth."

 

Diego sized up Erasmus as he spoke. He knew better than to write the other stallion off for the way he looked; there was obvious muscle and strength beneath the old hide, and Diego had been on the receiving end of ponies' judgement before, proving them wrong, so wasn't about to do the same to Erasmus.

 

"My sentence keeps on lengthening," he said with a shrug. "I might have to do something drastic."

[Randimaxis 8,652]

@Pripyat Pony

 

 

Erasmus gave a deep chuckle.

 

"Diego isn't truly THAT odd... after all, have you ever met another Erasmus?"

 

He regarded the other stallion for a moment... and liked the potential he saw.  There was more than enough spit and vinegar in this pony for the old stallion to have already begun trying to decide how best to utilize this particular chess piece.

 

Outwardly, he gave the other pony a grin.  "Chaos magic, you say... such as wielded by Discord himself?  My... how very impressive.  And it seems as though they cannot curtail these magics here, can they?  At least, not effectively.  Therefore, you must certainly be well-known among the staff for being... 'playful', shall we say?"

 

A powerful Chaos magic-user who already had a reputation for being a pest among the prison guards.  Perfect.

 

"Of course," he continued, "such a pony as yourself doesn't seem to even get the respect they deserve here.  THAT, good sir, is a shame.  And an insult to you, as well.  It almost seems as though they ENJOY shutting you away - again and again, I would gauge.  Well, perhaps there IS something we should do about that, hmmm?"

 

He stood and gave a languid stretch, vertebrae popping and muscles creaking as he did.  Finishing, he looked back towards Diego with a tiny grin.

 

"Of course, I'm open to any suggestions you may have on the subject matter - after all, I'm simply the new fish here; YOU must know this entire place like the back of your hoof.  Not to mention I'm certain you know the guards and their... 'idiosyncracies' as well, so you might be able to come up with something appropriate for the screws in THIS particular dump."

 

He may have been old, but there was certainly a streak of trouble in the old stallion... and he aimed to misbehave.

[Pripyat Pony 2,608]

@@Randimaxis, "The guards definitely have their own personalities, tho most of them could do with an overhaul," Diego replied with a grin. "One thing they all have in common is that they really don't like chaos magic. Some of the idiots think that, cuz I can wield it, I'm related to Discord. Stupid really, when any moron can see that I'm a pony, not a dragonequus. Anyway, yeah, I know this place all over. I can show you all the corners if you'd like. Truth to be told, I was getting really bored of this place til you showed up; thinking of splitting some day. Problem is, something like that is gonna need a whole lot of planning, which has never been my strong point."

[Randimaxis 8,652]

@Pripyat Pony

 

 

Perfect.

 

"Planning?  Well, I admit I do like to have a contingency for nearly EVERY situation... perhaps it was more than simple coincidence that drew us together, hmmmm?"

 

He gave a soft chuckle.

 

"In fact, I actually DO have a plan - I simply had to bide my time until I was moved to a more RELAXED atmosphere.  You see, I have EVERY intention of taking back what was once mine when I manage to free myself.  I even have some currency stashed away, waiting for my return."

 

He smiled.  "Of course, I'd be quite pleased to share this stash with somepony that could help me escape... as well as nearly ensure that we shall BOTH have our freedom once more.  Now, I cannot simply barrel out of here; it would be too much trouble to keep ahead of the law.  But to get ourselves released LEGALLY?  That would be my plan, Diego... accomplished by means most foul, I would say.  Extortion comes to mind, as does plain old blackmail... fabricated blackmail, at that."

 

He tossed a mischievous grin at the Chaos magician.  "Interested?"

[Pripyat Pony 2,608]

@@Randimaxis, Diego grinned widely as the other stallion's plan was made clear to him. "Like buck I'm interested!" he replied. "I can use my magic to help with your plan in any way you want; there's no limit to what I can do. I also have some goods hidden away that somepony who helped me escape could share in. And to do it legally; that would remove all the tedious 'on the run' business. That stuff is just so tiresome when all a pony wants is just to enjoy their freedom. Once we're out of here, I'll take you to a bar I know to celebrate."

[Randimaxis 8,652]

@Pripyat Pony

 

 

"Simple enough."

 

The large stallion began to pace, speaking softly as he thought aloud.

 

"All I would require would be five minutes with the prisoner transfer records, and a chance to communicate with the outside world - specifically, my loyal retainer.  Once that's accomplished, I'll just need a few... 'distractions'... while I set things into motion."

 

He smiled, but there was a feral intensity in it - no friendly grin here.

 

"With those steps in mind... tell me, Diego - are you good at causing a commotion?"

 

NOW his smile had humour in it.

"This message was provided to you by the warden."

 

Enigma let out a chuckle as the message played. "Shakedown? I hope nopony has a gun up their-" There was then a loud white noise following the message. Which startled Enigma into dropping a weight onto his neck. luckily a guard was there to catch it with his magic. "Heh." He said opening his eyes. "Thanks."

 

​The guard growled. "Be careful. The warden doesn't like it when blood is spilt here."

Dark heard the announcement and decided to head back, but when he looked around, he saw that nothing was familiar to him. So he turned and went in a random direction

[FanOfManyShows 396]

The warden stepped away from the microphone, a guard directly behind her. "Why did you say that?"

 

"I over heard some prisoners talking while I was touring the prison earlier." She looked to the cafeteria's security camera screen. "Sounded like they were going to try to escape." She turned back to the guard. "Don't want to ruin our perfect streak of no escapees." She said with a smile.

 

"A shake down would only help to anger the prisoners."

 

She spat. "I have my reasons." She said with a shrug, and a wink, which left the guard visibly confused. "The shake down will make sure these prisoners don't have anything on them that'd help them to escape." She stepped close to his face. "And, it doesn't help that one of them, has the ability to create dimensional rifts."

 

"She was nowhere near the two who were conversing."

 

She pressed a hoof against the guards chest. "He." She corrected him. "And he, was the one you forgot to give a bracelet to!"

He started sweating. "I can fire you. But I won't as long as it doesn't happen again." She said calmly, walking past the guard, and to the security room door which lead into the field within the prison. "I think I'm going to be in the laundromat as they do the clothes, I have to get my outfit changed anyways." She said leaving the guard to look after the security room.
