private Outcasts of Society (1x1 with Shadow Dancer)

[Shadow Dancer 111]

Both Indicus and Crystal smiled at the sight of Scarlette's sudden bout of joy. Indicus looked up at Crystal banishing the thought that certain parts of her were resting on his head among other things. "It will be interesting to see how Scarlette acts around us when she is much more familiar." Indicus whispered to which Crystal just nodded.

[Sphinx-Ara 3,569]

Scarlette hugs Arcania again before skipping off to her room, Arcania smiles and giggles "She's a good girl, a child at heart, as you no doubt could see" she says, continuing to show the other three around.

[Shadow Dancer 111]

Indicus smiled, "Yeah, I noticed. Scarlette also seems to hold you in very high esteem." Indicus continued to follow Arcania with Crystal still on his back this time just resting her body on his head and closing her eyes. "Hmm did not think piggy back rides were that relaxing." Indicus commented on the Changeling Queen on his back.

[Sphinx-Ara 3,569]

Arcania smiles "You'll love her once you get to know her, I'm sure Crystal already has fallen for her childish charm" she giggles, rubbing Crystal's ears gently, giggling at hearing her murr in her sleep

[Shadow Dancer 111]

Crystal nuzzled Arcania's hand. "I'm sure I will it is very clear she is a very nice girl. As for Crystal I'm sure she has, it is obvious Crystal is the motherly type and Scarlette fills that position very well."

[Sphinx-Ara 3,569]

Arcania smiles, giving Crystal even more rubs and scritches "Indeed, I can see Scarlette playing very nicely with Faith" she says and looks to their lovebug of a mare and chuckles "And you're right, Crystal is very much the motherly type"

[Shadow Dancer 111]

Crystal mumbles incoherently though it is easy to tell she is liking the attention. "This little family of ours is starting to be not so little after all." Indicus jokes. The paranoid p[art of his mind briefly tells him things are going too good. "Sometimes I think things are too good, too peaceful." Indicus said before he could brush the stray thought aside.

[Sphinx-Ara 3,569]

Dremora chuckles at the loving display between Arcania and Crystal, then looks to Indicus "Trust me master,things are going to get rather chaotic and hectic soon enough. Especially with our internal investigations into the guild"

[Shadow Dancer 111]

"I know that much but I don't think that is quite what is bothering me. It's more the hunters. I trust Luna's word, she is a second mother slash sister to me but I can't imagine with how busy the guard is that they will find everyone in that group." Indicus sighs, "I don't know Dremora, maybe I'm just restless and part of me is itching for a fight. After this guild stuff I might take a little contract or two on occasion keep from getting too wound up."

[Sphinx-Ara 3,569]

Dremora nods "Restless can be a major part of it indeed" he puts a hand on Indicus' shoulder reassuringly "But think on it, look at how happy the others are, as for the hunters, Arcania has a little surprise up her sleeve for everyone" he says

[Shadow Dancer 111]

Indicus looked at Arcania and Crystal then nodded. "Yea your right their quite happy." Indicus raised an eyebrow, "Guess you are keeping the secret as well?" 

Indicus shrugged, "Oh well I'll find out when it happens won't I."

[Sphinx-Ara 3,569]

Arcania smiles and leads them to a door with large archways "Alright Indicus sweetie, are you ready?" she asks as she puts her hand on the door to open it with a big smile "Your surprise awaits within"

[Shadow Dancer 111]

Indicus looked at the door before him. He adjusts Crystal more comfortably on his back. "Okay then let's see what you have in store for me." Anticipation leaks into his voice and a smile on his face as he waits for Arcania opens the door.

[Sphinx-Ara 3,569]

Arcania smiles as she opens up the doors to a massive training area, complete with mess hall and the armory "Welcome to the armory, mess hall and training area" she says and then smiles "Alright everyone come on out!" she calls as one by one, all but one of Indicus' old team comes out.

[Shadow Dancer 111]

Indicus was shocked as the three remaining members of his team walked out. Shaded Persona was first he walked out in his natural form, wearing a tee shirt and jeans.

Shadow Step was second in line she was a navy blue Pegasus with a  dark red mane and tail. She was wearing a plain blue dress that was not too conservative but also not too revealing.

Nebula Star was the last of the group. She was a white unicorn with a dark blue mane and tail. She wore a tank top and some shorts. 

Indicus looked at Arcania then his old friends that he had not seen since Dusk Flower was kidnapped to lure him. "Wait how did you pull this off?"

 

 

[Sphinx-Ara 3,569]

Arcania grins widely "Well it wasn't easy, but lets just say being friends with the Princesses has its perks" she says with a smile "It took some time, but I managed to track everyone down and get them to come here, I know how itching you are to go after the hunters, and I wasn't just about to trust any ordinary team with your safety. So I got the ponies who know you best"

[Shadow Dancer 111]

(Nebula has a irish accent in my head but I suck at wring them so take it as you will)

Indicus hugged Arcania, "Thank you you can only imagine how much this means to me."

Nebula Star was the first to talk, "Well, well, well, when I got a message from your marefriend saying you were alive and kickin' and managed to start a relationship with not only her but Queenie I almost didn't believe it but here I am wrong as all Tartarus." Her accent was ever present. Nebula put her hands on her hips "Com' over her ya old bastard. Haven't aged a day past thirty five and here I am gettin' older."

The pair share a brief hug before Shaded walked up giving Indicus a fist bump hard enough to cause Indicus to shake his hand a bit. "Heard rumors of a assassin's guild rising in Canterlot. Then a freelance assassin that was one of the best in the business, hearing the descriptions reminded me of you but I wasn't sure you were even alive. So color me surprised when I get a letter to hunt down the hunters and it says my old squad was being gathered for the job and that you were in a relationship with my queen and another mare no less."

Shadow Step true to her name appeared right in front of Indicus and the first thing she did was gut punch him. "Don't you ever fucking worry me like that again! I thought you died during your hunt for Dusk's killer. No letters no nothing to say you survived the damn explosion I had my words with Luna for hiding it for over twenty five years. We even went to your fucking funeral." Shadow Step then briefly hugged Indicus.

Indicus turned to the others, "Meet my old team, The changeling is Shaded Persona, Nebula Star is the accented Unicorn raised by thestrals though she has plenty of earth pony in her. Shadow Step is the pegasus that rightfully gut punched me."

Arcania giggles "At least you take it like a stallion" she says and smiles "Oh I've met them all, Shaded was the easiest to track down due to having Jasper's help, hive mind and all" she says and looks over the group "and you very did rightfully punch him, if he disappeared like that on me though, he'd get worse" she chuckles "Though my punishments are a lot less conventional"

[Shadow Dancer 111]

"I disappeared because once Dusk's killer died I had every assassin thug and hitman hunting me once they found my body was not in the rubble It took three years for me to kill enough that no one but the stupidest would accept a hit on me. To this day I get an idiot or psycho occasionally trying to be the one to kill the dead stallion." Indicus looked over at Arcania, "Don't worry I won't just up and disappear on you and Chryssie I like my genitals a bit too much for that."

[Sphinx-Ara 3,569]

"Drat, I guess I'll have to find someone else to test my genderswitching potions on" she pretends to pout and then giggles "Well you are all welcome here, of course" she says "the rest of the house is also free roam, just remember, my apothecary, armory, smithy and magic room are invite in only"

[Shadow Dancer 111]

It was then Chrysalis woke up. She stretched her arms out with a yawn. "Hmm what did I miss?" 

"Arcania gathered my old team together for me and we made introductions." Indicus replied.

Shaded, Nebula and Shadow all greeted Crystal with open arms. Though she had to hop off her perch on Indicus's back.

[Sphinx-Ara 3,569]

Arcania chuckles "Well good morning to you too love, and Indicus is right, I figured if he is to go after you hunters, he should be with the ponies who know him best, meaning his old team" she says with a big smile,

[Shadow Dancer 111]

Crystal finished greeting the group. "It is a good idea." Crystal looked over Indicus's old friends with a smile. "If these three can fight like Indicus can, I think the lives of the hunters are numbered."

Indicus and his old friends started to talk among themselves.

[Sphinx-Ara 3,569]

Arcania smiles "Also, i can trust them to not betray us" she says and closes her eyes, just as some noise came from the ale hall.

"And for you Crystal, I'm sure you will enjoy our other guests" Arcania chuckles "Shall we go see to them?"

[Shadow Dancer 111]

Crystal was now curious. "Okay, lead the way Arcania." Indicus would follow Arcania while the others went off to explore the mansion and claim a bedroom to sleep in for the night. Crystal tried to think about anyone she knew that she lost touch with but nothing immediately came to mind.
