private IC: Return of the King (1x1 with Catpone Cerberus)

[King Sombra]

@Catpone Cerberus

Sombra would look to her with a smirk on his face before he wound enter into the door. "You will follow me to Sweet Apple Acres, where we will dispose of Applejack. I don't really plan on sticking around Ponyville beyond tonight - I'll put a few discs onto some important ponies in this town, and then we will leave to seek some allies across Equestria. I'll also put a note on the door, saying that Rarity left Ponyville to go get some supplies, something of that sort - only that she won't return as well." Sombra smirked. Though this plan was a little more "bold", it did ensure that the Elements of Harmony would be unable to be used against him in the future. With one of them dead, and another under his total control - there would be no chance of using them.

Then he'd enter into the Boutique, letting Una in behind him and quietly shutting the door. Around the place it was basically what one would expect of a Fashion Designer's dwelling. Everything was neatly organized, with many dresses and materials on various displays in the room they were in - which seemed to be something of the ground level floor where business was dealt with. Sombra started to look around the place. Una was free to look around as well, but he was really interested in Rarity. After a few minutes of looking around, he would head up the stairs and search the upstairs floors. There was other assorted rooms - and there were two bedrooms. One of them was empty.

The other? Had a certain white mare with a purple mane fast asleep in bed - even she looked prim and proper when asleep. Sombra grinned wickedly and began to step towards her - leaving Una to watch.

@Props Valroa
Una hadn't really gotten the answer she had been looking for, but decided to not try to specify, after all,  she could have had understood the whole plan wrong, at which point, the question wouldn't be relevant anyway, so she just decided to wait and see if the question would become important again. 

Una looked around, she had no real reason to do so other than curiosity, since she knew nothing about making clothes, and there wasn't really any tactical reason to know where was what regarding the clothes, only thing that would have any use would probably be knowing where the money was, but she wasn't the one to take it anyway, so she didn't look too much into it either, and thus, the only thing left was curiosity. Something in her did like looking at the ready clothes though, they were pretty, and she couldn't help but think how they would look on her, which she found odd, partly because she didn't really usually think about her own appearance in that way, after all, she wasn't exactly the most attractive creature out there, and with her constantly shifting appearance, there wasn't really one appearance to think about, only clothing that would fit her in style, would be something with equally non-static look. 

She followed after Sombra, but was bit slower than him, especially in the stairs, as it took her a bit more effort to avoid the sound of hoofsteps than Sombra, and she had to make sure her dragon horns didn't hit anything either. It turns out that she wasn't really build for sneaking inside buildings, not that she couldn't do it, rather, she wasn't any better at it than anyone else. 

[King Sombra]

@Catpone Cerberus

Sombra would approach the sleeping form of Rarity quietly. He would do so very slowly, yet very deliberately. His horn would start to strobe various shades of purple and black which would turn into a colored telekinetic aura that would suddenly take hold of the sleeping Rarity - locking her in place before she would have any kind of chance to move. His body would then fade away into a black mist which lurched forth towards Rarity's mouth and nose. The black mist would flow into Rarity's mouth while the colored aura would remain in place. The process would unfold, taking about 5 minutes or so to complete as Sombra's grasp would take over Rarity's body from the inside out.

Then, Rarity would rise up in bed with the magical aura vanishing with Sombra's dark magic seeping out of her eyes. "It has been a long, long time since I have been in someone else's body. Rest assured - Rarity's mind is locked inside of her body, in a deep sleep she will never wake up from." Sombra said, as he would move out of the bed and stretch. It was rather interesting to see - with Sombra's actual body being gone and it just being Rarity, now.

Sombra would walk around the room some more, stepping around the place as if testing out the "new" body he had. "Not very physically strong, but, I can work with..." he grinned as his magic probed the mind he was apart of - extracting the needed information for the gem searching spell. His horn would flare up, and he would walk over across the room and open a drawer - revealing some gems. "It works." he added.

"Now let's find a pen and paper. And I'll pocket whatever cash I can find here." Sombra spoke, as he began to search for wherever Rarity kept her money. Might be a while, for that.
 

[Catpone Cerberus 23,428]

@Props Valroa
Not having much else to do, and not really knowing if doing something would interrupt Sombra, Una just quietly watched him do his thing. One may think, that she would have had lot of opinions about what she was seeing, but she really didn't, she didn't really even have conflicting thoughts about it, the only thing she thought about while watching, was how it probably felt, and that did make her slightly uncomfortable, not because she felt anything towards Rarity's situation, but because the idea of something going into her own mouth and nose like that felt unpleasant.

It wasn't as subtle as Una had thought, until the very clear situation with the eyes was something Sombra could turn off that was, not that it would have fooled Una anyway, because while visually it was certainly convincing, if you didn't look him....or should she say her? in the eyes, Una could still feel Sombra all the same. She wasn't sure what it was that Sombra assured her regarding Rarity's mind though, was he saying that there was no worry about trouble coming from this because she couldn't tell what was happening? or was it more assurance that she wasn't in pain? either way, she hadn't really worried about either, though it was good to hear Sombra had some mercy in him, as she wouldn't have been surprised if he would have kept the body's owner aware just to torment them. 

Una started looking for pen and paper, but as she did, she spoke "Excuse my curiosity, but how strongly connected are you to the body? If for example, someone was to stab it now, would you feel the pain?" "Are you generally speaking, limited by its weaknesses?"

 

[King Sombra]

@Catpone Cerberus

Sombra grinned slyly at Una and remarked, "As with all things in life, there are always weaknesses.  This body is not as strong as I would be normally, and if it were to sustain any injury, I would undoubtedly feel the pain." Their search continued, and after some time, they each found what they were seeking. Una discovered a stash of writing materials, while in Rarity's bedroom closet, Sombra located a sizable safe containing his desired items.

The safe, upon opening it with a wave of his magic, revealed a substantial amount of money and a collection of valuable gems. A greedy smirk spread across Sombra's face as he observed the contents. Using his magic, he summoned his armor and cape, which intriguingly adjusted to fit Rarity's body perfectly. It became evident that there was more to the armor than, considering how it seamlessly conformed to Rarity's form upon re-summoning. Sombra transferred the most valuable items into his cape, relishing in his ill-gotten gains.

Noticing that Una had acquired the writing supplies, Sombra took them from him and proceeded to draft a note. The message explained that Rarity had an early morning departure for a business trip to Canterlot. Satisfied with their success, Sombra pocketed the note and made his way out of the Boutique, heading towards Sweet Apple Acres.

[Catpone Cerberus 23,428]

@Props Valroa
Una didn't respond, but let out a small sound to indicate understanding, she had gotten an answer to her question, so she had nothing more to add. She focused her search in places where one would expect to find writing materials, which ultimately lead to her finding them reasonably quickly, it turns out that someone that neatly organized things, stores things in places that make sense. 

When Sombra summoned his outfit, Una threw away all the previous questions she had, it was clear that the point of the possession was not to actively blend in, so her previous question about herself was not relevant. 

Una observed his writing, she would have argued that maybe it would have been better to choose any other location, since Canterlot was close enough to be seen from the town, and thus easily, and quickly checked, but she assumed Sombra knew what he was doing, so she didn't bring the point up, as she still was bit unsure about the purpose of the whole possession thing, besides finding gems, which in turn probably would have had easier ways to do, like asking the pony who uses them where she got them.  She would follow Sombra, figuring that she should probably try to stop thinking about things too deeply, she was just the follower after all, she was only told what she needed to know, right?

[King Sombra]

@Catpone Cerberus

When they exited outside, Sombra would unsummon his armor and cape. It seemed like the point of having it on for that moment that he did was because he wanted to get it "Fitted" or testing out how it was on the "new" body he had. It was a bit uncanny to see Sombra looking around in Rarity's body. The dark magic in the eyes also vanished when he unsummoned the armor and cape. Perhaps there might be an additional connection. Either way, Sombra walked alongside Una in the cool nightly air, headed towards Sweet Apple Acres.

As they walked about, they would have seen the one Ponyville guard off in the distance searching the town idly with his headlamp. He was away from their present location, but it just goed to show that Ponyville seemed to have only one guard assigned to the town. At least that's the only guard they saw. Sombra would lead the way up the dirt road that would lead to Sweet Apple Acres. Once there, they would be greeted with various assorted buildings and a large barn in the center. It was very quiet here, with all the farm animals asleep.

Sombra would lead the way towards the house, making sure to stay quiet.

[Catpone Cerberus 23,428]

@Props Valroa
Una followed Sombra quietly, she had nothing to really say, nor did she want to call attention to the two by saying something that some random pony on a nightly stroll could hear, or Flint, the weirdo had either stopped singing, or gone far enough to not be heard by them, and Una didn't want to take the risk that the former was the case, and she was actually close enough to hear them. Previous questions again came to her mind when Sombra made himself actually blend in, however, for the previously stated reason, she didn't ask those questions yet, figuring that if it was important, she would get the answer anyway.

Una found the sight of animals weird when they got to the farm, she herself of course had no qualms about such, but she found it slightly weird that ponies had a farm with other quadruped creatures, especially since going by everything else, this was an apple farm. What did they use pigs and chickens for? She shook the thoughts out of her mind as it was again time to sneak, Sombra still hadn't explained to her what the exact plan was, so she just went along, hoping to get, if nothing else, clear instructions when the time came. 

[King Sombra]

@Catpone Cerberus

When they arrived closer to the house, Sombra would suddenly stop and turn to Una. They were far enough away to where they could speak in a hushed voice and not realistically be noticed. "Here is what we will do. Applejack is the Orange Earth Pony. What will happen is - we will sneak in and attempt to locate her. With my holding spell, we will stun her and drag her out to the Everfree forest. Then we will execute her, and bury the body. As far as I can tell nobody goes into the Everfree forest on a regular basis, so the chances of them finding the body is slim." Sombra stated to Una, allowing for her to speak - but after she spoke, Sombra would start heading towards the house again.

[Catpone Cerberus 23,428]

@Props Valroa
"Understood, but, what exactly is my part in this?" Una asked quietly "Besides moving her, since you are currently in a physically less capable body?" "I'd just like to know if there's something I should know in advance, it would ease the process for you to not need to order me around as things happen." she would accept any response regardless of she found it satisfactory or not, and would follow Sombra until told otherwise.

[King Sombra]

@Catpone Cerberus

Sombra thought about this for a few moments and then answered, "You will help me move Applejack out of the building and carry her for me to the Everfree forest." he spoke as if it was something obvious, but seeing as they had discussed that - Sombra started heading towards the front door of Applejack's home. With his magic, he would unlock the door and open the door - leading the way in. After Una would enter, he would start to quietly search through the house - noticing that it was of a remarkably different character than Rarity's boutique. 

[Catpone Cerberus 23,428]

@Props Valroa
It was obvious. after all, it was the one thing Una mentioned herself, though she hadn't really expected anything else from Sombra, it was clear that he wasn't used to working with somebody, and was more used to having mind controlled servants with lacking ability to think for themselves. Una watched Sombra open the door, and started thinking about the poor security around this town, it was ridiculously easy to get past locks, even with Sombra going under doors and opening them from inside, had nobody thought that somebody could just do that with magic? a third of pony population was unicorns, and nobody had thought of magic-proofing their doors? Were they idiots? or was it really just so safe here that they didn't see the need?

She followed Sombra inside, again focusing on staying quiet, she did take note of the decor and such, but didn't compare to it anything, because it was only natural that a farmhouse  would look different than anything in the town. She did note that it seemed that this was a family residence, though it was impossible to tell just how many ponies lived here without counting bedrooms or such, which did worry her a tiny bit, because the chance of getting caught was lot bigger. 

[King Sombra]

@Catpone Cerberus

The poor security around Ponyville was certainly noticeable - not that Sombra really cared. If anything, he was very glad that the security was very poor here so he could do whatever he wanted. As they moved about, they would notice how large the house was. It was clearly meant for a family - unlike Rarity's boutique which only seemed to have a few extra rooms. This farmhouse had a whole living room, and as Sombra kept searching - he would find some stairs that would lead to another floor. Immediately when up the stairs, they would hear some comically loud snoring.

Checking on it, it would reveal a large red Earth pony stallion snoring away. Sombra rolled his eyes at this, and kept searching through the other rooms. One of them revealed a yellow filly with a red mane, and the final one at the end of the hall revealed the orange Earth pony he sought. Grinning wickedly, Sombra would lead Una inside and shut the door quietly. His telekinetic hold would take hold of the sleeping mare. 

Sombra would gesture to the window - indicating for Una to open it. 

[Catpone Cerberus 23,428]

@Props Valroa
Una stayed in the hallway, not even trying entering the rooms until they found the right one, after all, there was no point, since Sombra could just look in and get out. She was actually a bit glad for the loud snoring of one of the inhabitants, as it covered up any accidental hoof steps she may have caused, not that they were loud enough to wake anyone up, but you never knew if someone was actually sleeping or not, until of course you could hear it this obviously.

The only one she was worried about after getting glances into the different rooms, was the snorer, mainly because he was so large, sure she didn't underestimate anyone in the house, they were farmers, so physically they were probably all very capable, but the biggest felt the most dangerous.

Una did as told, opening the window, she used her magic to make sure she could do it quietly, as one never knew if it was stuck or something, and it was lot easier to control with magic over using one's hooves. She did wonder what Sombra's plan was, of course she would know right away, but she still wondered, would he throw the pony out of the window? make her carry her through it? It didn't even cross her mind what exactly they were doing here, which probably would have made her question herself, if it wasn't for the fact that she failed to realize it. 

[King Sombra]

@Catpone Cerberus

Sombra could hear the loud snoring of one of the other inhabitants of the house - he was slightly concerned about that because he was a large physically powerful stallion as far as he could tell. While in Rarity's body, such a situation would prove risky due to Sombra not being as physically strong as he usually would be. With Una having opened the window Sombra would walk close to the window itself and gently float the orange mare out of the window and set her down outside in the grass beside the house. So far she didn't appear to move at all.

Then Sombra would suddenly grab Una with his magic, indicating that she should make no noise as he would lift her out of the window and set her down on the ground beside the mare. After that, he would turn into his smoke form, leaving the room and re-assembling his physical form down below. With that done, he reached up with his magic and shut the window quietly.

"That's over with. Now let's go." he whispered and started carrying the orange mare with his magic off towards the Everfree Forest. 

[Catpone Cerberus 23,428]

@Props Valroa
Una wasn't one to scream when startled, so staying quiet wasn't a problem, but being suddenly grabbed by magic did startle her, and she clearly didn't like it. But while there was no problems with the whole lifting her out, Sombra may have, or may have not, depending on how much he focused in such things, noticed a tiny bit of his magic getting taken from the spell, as in, the spell was a tiny bit weaker than the magic he put into it. It was small amount, maybe even insignificant amount, but it was more than one could explain with natural loss of energy. 

Una said nothing, but she felt like pointing out that she had wings, she also watched Sombra do his smoke thing again, which made her confused about the whole possessing thing again, but as she knew nothing about possession, she just decided it was better for her mind to try to ignore it, as she clearly didn't understand how things worked. 

She watched Sombra grab the orange pony and carry her with ease, so she didn't need to carry her after all? so why was she here again? to open a window? She didn't know which was worst, that, or the fact that Sombra needed someone to open a window for him. She followed him without making any of this known, she felt the unknown thoughts in her mind again, maybe she should sit down and listen to them at some point, they just may have a point.  

[King Sombra]

@Catpone Cerberus

Sombra lead the way towards the Everfree forest. He was silent as they made their way away from the farm. He did look back occasionally though, to make sure that nobody was pursuing them. He would see no such thing as they entered into the forest. When they entered into the forest the both of them would notice it was dark. "I have a feeling this forest is dangerous, do not touch any of the plants and stay close to me." he commanded, walking in avoidance of any of the various strange looking plants that were around them.

"We'll walk until we find a clearing." he added as he would continue walking with the orange mare on his back - sleeping soundlessly on his back. They would walk for what felt like half an hour. If there was no interruptions on their way here from unseen forces - they would make their way into a clearing.

"Now that we are here, I would like you to start digging." he spoke as he pointed towards the edge of the clearing, where he felt it was a good place to bury her. "Then once the hole is dug far enough, I will like you to execute her while I watch." he smirked darkly. 

[Catpone Cerberus 23,428]

@Props Valroa
Sombra wasn't the only one to have a feeling, Una could feel the forest's danger, it had darkness, but it was yet again different, it was more similar to the one in Nightmare Moon's helmet, than it was to Sombra, but it was also very unique, this forest wasn't a normal forest, it was unnaturally dark....it made sense now, she had wondered why the town seemed to be a victim to so much stuff, but this explained it, the town was next to a hot spot of darkness. 

So it was a test, Una realized when Sombra said his order, of course. She took off the clothes she used to hide her appearance, didn't want to get them dirty, would make her look more suspicious. then she looked around to find something to dig with, deciding on piece of wood that was big and sturdy enough, then, with her magic, and using a stone to hammer the wood deeper, she dug a hole that was more deep than wide, but was big enough for a pony...it wasn't like it needed to be comfortable.

As she dug, her mind was running in regards of the next task, but not for the reason one may think. It wasn't that there was some moral feeling going against it, the conflict was more on how to do it, as the three different opinions made an appearance again. There was the middle one, that she considered her own, the neutral one, which wanted to get it over with without any unnecessary hassle, but then there were the two others, one feeling disgust, wanting to keep things clean and quick, and the other, enthusiastic, violent, and....craving? Was her mouth watering?

This inner conflict didn't stay entirely inside either, as while Una didn't do or say anything besides just digging the hole, the action itself got slightly more aggressive, and the darkness that had been present in her after the helmet situation, bubbled up again, making her aura just that bit more dark. 

Then there was of course the deed itself, after she was done with the hole, assuming Sombra didn't interrupt her, she stood above the sleeping mare, she wasn't hesitating, but she was considering her options. She could just snap the neck, that was clean and relatively simple, there were lot of rocks around, she could use those to smash the skull, simple, bit more messy, she din't have a blade, but her horn and various things around were sharp, so that was an option, still simple, even more messy, she could also...no she couldn't that was weird, very messy and gross, why would she....but it was so intriguing, so delici...no, what, that wasn't her, she didn't think that. The rogue thoughts had now become voices in her head, her ear started twitching, she had to give conscious effort to not tell them to shut up out loud...and then she couldn't remember what happened.

What happened from outside perspective, would be her standing there for some seconds, her ear twitching suddenly, then her constantly shifting appearance froze, with the golden dragon scales being the one covering most of her face, her both eyes orange with slit pupils of a dragon, she grinned, and suddenly lunged at the sleeping mare, teeth sinking in her throat, the end result was....messy. After...eating a piece, Una backed up, still grinning, but then her appearance started shifting, she turned shocked, and started coughing and spitting like in disgust "Wha- Why?" she tasted it, she smelled it, she could feel it on her constantly shifting face, blood, she hated it, it was awful, she went to the dirt pile she had dug up, and started rubbing herself with the dirt to get the blood off, it was so gross "Why did I do it like that!" she had done what Sombra had told her to sure, but even Sombra probably didn't mean like that. 

[King Sombra]

@Catpone Cerberus

Sombra would remain observant of how Una chose to deal with the situation she was tasked with for the "Test". As he remained silent as she started digging the hole with the large piece of wood, he could feel that something was off about her. It felt like she was more dark compared to before, and as he looked closely he could see how her motions had changed. To this he would smirk evily. That vile, disgustingly evil smirk making itself apparent on Rarity's otherwise good mannered default looks. It was rather corrupting, to see Sombra smirk like that with Rarity's face. Part of Sombra wanted Una to just kill Rarity too, he already had the knowledge from her mind about finding gems. Wearing her body as his own was more of a matter of taking a "Trophy'.

When the hole had been completed he had observed to see what Una would decide to do. The result was quite unexpected to say the least - with Una's face apparently becoming more draconic as she then bit a chunk out of Applejack's neck. To this, Rarity's smile on that face of hers became more and more wicked. Sombra began to chuckle. It was a low devious chuckle, that soon exploded into an all out cackle that echoed through the dark forest. Una could feel that Sombra felt truly devious, vile, and he enjoyed every bit of it. He enjoyed seeing that.

"I didn't know you had it in you to do that! Not how I would have done it, but, works just as well!" he chuckled as he walked up to the now dying Applejack, who had woken up with the telekinetic hold having not been there for a bit - looking up at him with weak eyes as her life was fading. It didn't matter anyway, she was going to die.

"...R-rarity..." is what Applejack said before the life finally faded from her eyes. In her last, dying moments, she thought that Rarity was the one to kill her. Exactly what Sombra wanted. Applejack didn't have the time to see Una's presence before she died.

Sombra then would look to Una. "I'll show you how I would have done it." he spoke - and with his magic, a sudden black crystal would sprout up from the ground and impale Applejack's body at an odd angle. Sombra then kicked the corpse into the hole - and the black crystal would suddenly vanish in a puff of smoke - leaving a gruesome sight.

"Be a dear and bury her for me, will you? Don't want to get my hooves dirty." Sombra said, jokingly in a mocking tone that was clearly indicated towards Rarity. His hooves were already slightly dirty anyway, so it was clear he was being sarcastic - yet wanted Una to bury the corpse.

[Catpone Cerberus 23,428]

@Props Valroa
Una missed Sombra's non-verbal reactions, as she was focused on her own shock, it wasn't that she was feeling some kind of moral distress about it, rather it was just very disgusting to her, though even that wasn't the main problem, the main problem, which horrified her, was the disconnect between her actions and her own will, or well, the will she considered her own, since she could feel the others too, she could feel the part of her mind that was happy about her approach. 

The cackle snapped Una out of the deep corners of her mind, but her displeasure towards her own actions was visible on her face...most of the time, because every time the appearance went through the draconic form, be it an eye or the mouth, the displeasure was replaced with satisfaction, satisfaction that was once again wiped away when the scales went away. But, if Una had to pick something positive out of it, at least Sombra seemed to enjoy it, meaning she didn't screw things up. 

She watched Sombra show his own way of doing things, but didn't really focus on it, partly because it didn't really matter, since she couldn't do the same anyway, and partly because she was still distracted by herself, and when Sombra told her to bury, she did just that, she was almost robotic as she did, and her emotions? she was cold as an icy rock, she had entered the same state she had been in when shown Sombra's memories, though this time she was thankful for it, because otherwise she would have probably just screamed. 

She started by removing the ground that had been painted red by the last minutes and throwing it in the hole, no point hiding a body if you were going to leave a pool of blood next to it. Rest she filled with the ground she had originally dug up, and the material that was left over, she used to make things look as natural as possible, before discarding her makeshift shovel.

[King Sombra]

@Catpone Cerberus

Sombra noticed that Una had been acting strange. Part of him thought it was just because she had never killed someone before - and the other part of him thought it had something to do with her nature as a 'living weapon' if what he read on those papers was really true. He stood there and watched as Una cleaned up the area and filled up the ground. By the end of it, the ground looked natural enough. Not that anybody really seemed to come back through here anyway.

At the end of it all he gave a proud smirk, "Good work. Job well done. Now we just need to distribute more of those disks. Starting with the mayor." he stated as if nothing out of the ordinary had happened, leading the way out of the forest back the way they came. "If in the future we need to kill more of those ponies, we can do so. Just not so soon." he added.

[Catpone Cerberus 23,428]

@Props Valroa
In what thoughts she had among the inner conflict, Una had figured the effort to make things natural to be worth it, not just because she thought that somebody may just happen stumble upon it at some point, but also because wild animals would most likely come across it, and they may do lot of things, including dig the ground that smelled like blood. There was also the potential of the unexpected, this forest was weird, it was filled with darkness that was magical in nature, she had no idea how, if in any way, that energy would interact with blood, or maybe there were creatures living there that were more than wild animals, that could tell the ponies. Honestly, with how weird the forest felt, she wouldn't have been surprised if the body came back to live eventually.

She got her stuff and once again covered herself with clothing, maybe next time they study magic, she should learn illusion magic to give herself a disguise; she may have been unable to control her own appearance, but there was no reason why she wouldn't be able to hide it under a fake appearance.  

She followed Sombra, not saying anything, the coldness started to fade slowly but surely as they went, and she was also getting her mind back into control, but she suspected that the next time she slept, it would be an interesting time in her dreams, as this would no doubt come up, assuming what she saw in her dreams before wasn't just random stuff. 

 

 

[King Sombra]

@Catpone Cerberus

Sombra would lead the way into the town. It was still the silence of the night, with the lone guard being seen searching the other side of the town with his one spotlight. He was moving slowly and methodically, not really showing any signs that anything was out of the ordinary. Ponyville really did only have one guard from the looks of it. Sombra remembered the mayor's house was not shown on the map, probably because she didn't want others visiting her when she was home. Sombra cursed under his breathe. "Now we have to find out where the mayor is located." he stated. "Hmm, census records would be good for that. Let's take another look." he spoke as he lead the way to the Town Hall building again. With nobody else in sight, he was free to enter in and unlock it just like they did before and he wanted to take a closer look at the census records and addresses in the town. 

 

[Catpone Cerberus 23,428]

@Props Valroa
"Do we know the mayor's name?" Una asked "Or do we need to just go through and try to find whoever's record states their job as the mayor?" it would have made things easier if they had some information, wait, why didn't they ask Lunar what they mayor's name was? or any details about the mayor? No doubt somebody with a business in the town would have known something.

Una suddenly got familiar feeling, certain creature was close, but before she could say anything about it, it would come apparent, as when they would open the door to the archive itself, they'd find familiar bipedal creature inside going through the papers, she paused when the door opened, and looked at the two with a grin "Fancy seeing you here, you look different, did you do something with your mane?." It was Flint, why was she there? how had she gotten inside when the door was still locked? who knew, but she was there, and Una hated it. 
 

 

[King Sombra]

@Catpone Cerberus

Sombra was about to answer Una's question but then they arrived into the room the archive and census papers were kept. Surprisingly, Flint was there. This caused Sombra to narrow his eyes. He was not in the mood to deal with Flint's antics as he just wanted to get what he wanted to do over with before moving onto the next task he had for himself. "What are you doing here?" is all that he had asked with a sigh. He was clearly not in the mood to converse, but it was clear there was no avoiding it this time. Flint could likely tell that Sombra and Una were here to go through the papers as well.
