private Outcasts of Society (1x1 with Shadow Dancer)

[Sphinx-Ara 3,569]

Arcania smiles and holds Crystal's hand, waving to Indicus as she takes her to the mead hall. As they arrive, she opens the doors and inside was a band of pirates, lead by a rather handsome grey fur wolf in captains garb. He immediately spots Crystal and jumps off of the table, landing with a bow and kisses her hand "Queen Chyrsalis, a pleasure to finally meet  you"

[Shadow Dancer 111]

Crystal accepted the greeting looking at Arcania then the captain before her. "A pleasure indeed. So, you have my name but I lack yours?" 

Crystal grins as she tastes Indicus's distrust of this pirate captian with a small hint of jealousy. She figured the only thing keeping her coltfriend polite was the trust he put in Arcania.

[Sphinx-Ara 3,569]

The captain smiles "Captain Byron McGillyhunty, at your service, fine lady" he says and smiles, "Arcania is a dear friend of ours from when she was a traveler" he says and then looks to Indicus "and you must be ser Indicus Ventrule? We've heard quite a lot about you"

[Shadow Dancer 111]

Indicus keeps his emotions in check deciding to trust Arcania if not this newcomer. "That would be me Captain. So what brings you here it is a hell of a ways from the open sea." Indicus held out his hand in greeting.

[Sphinx-Ara 3,569]

Byron took and shook his hand vigorously “Well Arcania here figured that if these hunters Ye are after flee to the sea, then who better to hunt them there than us sea dogs?” He chuckles “while you I have no doubt on yer abilities on land, the sea is a cruel mistress.”

[Shadow Dancer 111]

Indicus nodded. "Fair enough, I can command a unit, fight on anything I can stand on. But like most sensible people leave the sailing to sailors so an experienced captain with a ship and crew will be nice." 

"Anyway," Indicus waved his hand, "How do you know Arcania? I really need to find out a list of her contacts it seems vast as most countries spy networks." 

[Sphinx-Ara 3,569]

Byron chuckles “Miss Starmane and I go way back. She was aboard a ship as their magician but jumped ship the moment she found out it was a hell ship” he chuckles a little “I found her hiding at our hideout, and instead of killing her, I offered her work until she could afford passage home. Ya see, Pirates aren’t all pillage, rape and kill, a lot of us are just fighting for the wealth and freedom of our people”

[Shadow Dancer 111]

Indicus shook his head, "Don't worry about justifying yourself to me I have done business with groups much worse than you to complete a goal. Besides I would hope pirates were not all the same as the stories around them."

[Sphinx-Ara 3,569]

Byron nods and smiles as he lifts up a mug of ale "Three cheers to our gracious host and hostesses!" he cheers and the rest of the crew cheer for them all before downing their ales and returning to their singing and food.

[Shadow Dancer 111]

Indicus turned to Arcania and Crystal. "Well this is a lively bunch." Crystal nodded as she side stepped a stallion as he fell over.

A mare with a bit much ale in her took Indicus's hands and started dancing to the music a crew member was playing. Leaving the assassin more then a little confused while making for a interesting sight as the mares iron grip kept him from getting away.

[Sphinx-Ara 3,569]

Arcania just laughs "Now where's that delightful Nebula...I have a feeling she'd love this" she says as she sits down with an ale and drinks it "Come on dear Crystal, join in the festivities," she chuckles "I'm sure the Captain would enjoy a dance with you"

[Shadow Dancer 111]

Indicus was free from being passed around between several mares letting himself walk up to Arcania and Crystal.

"If you want Nebula here don't worry she already is." Indicus pointed to Nebula chatting with several crew members.

Crystal looked at Arcania for a second and took a drink of some ale. "Perhaps, but I think I will let him wait for now. I want Indicus here besides Nebula seems to have the captian covered."

Indeed Nebula and the captain were both wildly dancing.

[Sphinx-Ara 3,569]

Arcania chuckles and grins wildly "My plan worked then" she winks at Indicus and chuckles once more "From  the moment i met miss Nebula, I had a feeling she'd get along famously with the crew" she then sips some more on her ale "And you're right Crystal" she sips some more "We're still waiting for one more crew though"

[Shadow Dancer 111]

Both Indicus and Crystal were intrigued by this new Information. "So who would this final crew be?" Indicus asked while observing Nebula now chatting to random crew member most likely swapping stories of missions she could talk about along with many of her exploits and any embarrassing information about the other team members she could recall.

[Sphinx-Ara 3,569]

Arcania giggles "A rather fetching and beautiful captain of the skies, one captain Calcaeno, friends of the Princess Twilight Sparkle and her friends of course" she says just as a knock was heard "Come in Calcaeno!" she calls out.

[Shadow Dancer 111]

"Huh I recognize that name very vaguely don't remember how though." Indicus and Crystal turned towards the door as Calcaeno knocked. Both curious and waiting to see and meet this 'Captain of the skys.'

[Sphinx-Ara 3,569]

Calcaeno smiles and walks in, wrapping Arcania in a hug and nuzzling her "My dear, we are here, and willing to help in any way possible" she says before spotting both Indicus, Dremora and Byron "My, such handsome company too"

[Shadow Dancer 111]

Indicus held out his hand, "So you are Calcaeno, the person Arcania was just talking about nice to meet you."  Crystal watches the mare before her and keeps herself from giving into her instinct to keep her mate from an outsider that could 'steal' him away. Though she does get closer to Indicus wrapping an arm around her mate feeling some of the chitin plates growing on him. Noting that she could already see some chitin sticking out from beyond his shirt sleeves and on his upper chest soon enough they would be easily visible growing around some vital areas seamlessly transitioning to fur and skin.

[Sphinx-Ara 3,569]

The parrot smiles and nods, shaking his hand "Indeed, it would seem it's going to be a widescale hunt on not just land and sea, but in the open skies as well" she then sees Crystal and bows "your highness, no need to be protective of your mate, Arcania's explained everything to me"

[Shadow Dancer 111]

"That is very true we will be hunting the hunters and I fully expect them to be elusive." Indicus replied

 

Crystal blushed. "Sorry it is just Instinct from an age where a male that could breed with a Changeling especially a non-changeling were very sought after and other Queens would try to take each other's mates to make their hive stronger."

[Sphinx-Ara 3,569]

Calcaeno chuckles "I shall leave Indicus to you but these other two" she licks her beak a little with another chuckle "So, is everyone here? Shall we go to the war room and discuss strategies?" she asks, looking as Byron and his crew came to join them.

"Aye, a strategy plan would be somet'ing good to 'ave in place" Byron says then looks at Calcaeno "Cap'n" he bows

[Shadow Dancer 111]

"Let's get this ball rolling," Indicus replied as Nebula took her place beside him. "You heard tae stallion." Nebula confirmed nudging Indicus who nudged back. 

"So where are Shaded and Shadow?" Indicus asked Nebula. "They should be 'n tae war room if they ain't getting freaky with each other."

"Wait they are an item?" Indicus questioned. "They sur' are."

"Well damn." Indicus said as he shook his head.  

[Sphinx-Ara 3,569]

Arcana chuckles "Well I'll be, I thought I could sesnse the chemistry from those two" she grins "And I'm not even a Changeling" she says and nudges Chrysalis then shakes her head "To the war room then" she says as she chuckles a bit at Byron's attempt at chivalry.

He offers to take Nebula's arm "M'lady Nebula, shall I escrot ya to the war room?"

[Shadow Dancer 111]

Nebula takes up the offer with an amused smile. "Lady hmm yeah let's go with lady." 

Indicus grinned knowing how Nebula responded to Grand gestures or chivalry as a way to woo her. The attempts would be amusing.

[Sphinx-Ara 3,569]

Byron grins as he gently holds her arm, holding her hand and gently rubbing her knuckles with his thumb, walking her to the war room "Aye, ye have a interesting and wonderful accent, ye wouldn't have happened to have spent a lot o' time in the Emerald Shores?"
