[Glory Feather]

@Props Valroa Glory looks up at the mare before her, "G-Glory Feather," she said, stuttering, she gestured to her friends "and that's Pixel, Shiny, Skylight and Moonlight!" she added, Pixel, the little purple unicorn mare marveled up at the great one. 

[Moonlight Wane]

While Glory was speaking, Moonlight scratched his head in thought. He was expecting to see Princess Celestia on the throne. Moonlight leaned closer to the rest of the group. "Are we in the wrong castle? Who is that mare on the throne?" He whispered.

[Shiny Silvermoon]

@Props Valroa @Silky the smol @Skylight Scintillate @Nitobit @Saturn Ring

"And you? Who are you and why are you sitting on a throne?" Shiny Silvermoon asked to the mare. She was so curious that she completely forgot about her Ger'mane tourists story.

The mare looked at them quietly, and looked off to the side. "I don't know how I got here, or why I am here, or what this place is. The guards...misdirected me when I was going elsewhere." her deep blue eyes stared a hole in the two guards which shook nervously in their stance. "My name is Carnelian Clout, Viscountess of the Crystal Empire." she spoke, with a raised hoof, putting her mane in a striking beautiful pose.

@Props Valroa, @Silky the smol, @Skylight Scintillate, @Shiny Silvermoon, @Saturn Ring

"Last time I checked, we were in Canterlot... but this whole castle does look a little too empty." Moonlight approached a window and looked outside.

[Glory Feather]

"Hmm, this does seem very suspicious, what if it's a trap and ALL of us are in danger?" Glory says, swishing her tail behind her. She knew that sounded a little crazy, but she's been in danger a few times before, and didn't want it to happen again.

"Last time I checked, we were in Canterlot... but this whole castle does look a little too empty." Moonlight approached a window and looked outside.

The Castle in its mass was empty with only the elegant drapes of nobility, stained glass with a storyline being told of some sorts. By night, the moonlight would easily spill through it to illuminate lovely colors anywhere it had touched. By daylight, the colors seemed to dance with renewed color. But these were mere background details that had nothing to do with the current situation at hand. The place seemed under some kind of renovation. New management? 

[Shiny Silvermoon]

@Nitobit @Saturn Ring @Skylight Scintillate @Props Valroa

"Calm down, everypony! I think the castle is just being renovated." Said Shiny to reassure her friends.

"We have a permission to be here provided by Princess Silky. Here." The unicorn declared to Carnelian Clout while pointing the scroll that was holding Skylight.

@Shiny Silvermoon @Saturn Ring @Nitobit @Skylight Scintillate

Carnelian would look to Shiny, "I haven't ever heard of someone named "Princess Silky", but do go on." she spoke as she walked closer to them. She didn't seem to be aware of what they were referencing, for now.

"Eh-ehem.." a rather pinkish pony would step through the door and peek in. She seemed to overhear the conversation and wrinkle her nose. "Ough, Princess who? I've never heard of such a name. Are you sure these are not some imposters? Didn't this one," she now pointed an accusing hoof at @Shiny Silvermoon "have some kind of GerMANE accent before?" She'd loft a brow now before making her way over towards Carnelian Clout to whisper something in her ear. Based on her attire, she appeared to be a noble servant of sorts.

Shiny Silvermoon's head instantly turned to stare at the pink mare with her iris being replaced by flammes. "How dare you insult the most kind and flawless princess in the entire Equestria!!! After Princess Luna... You shall hear my GerMANE accent has a punishment!"

She then began to speak with a Germane accent "We have permission scroll! Ya! We GerMANE tourists!"

[Bubblegum Blossom]

The pink pone would retreat from the whispers to Carnelian's ear as she'd behold the unusual sight of Shiny Silvermoon's reaction. She looked too flummoxed to even react until something about a permission scroll was mentioned. She'd now lower an ear cautiously before looking from Silvermoon now to Carnelian for approval.

@Silky the smol @Nitobit @Skylight Scintillate @Shiny Silvermoon @Saturn Ring

Carnelian looked to Shiny, and narrowed her eyes, "Question is, what would they be posing as, if they are imposters?" Carnelian would ask, looking to the scroll. "I need to read that scroll." she spoke, wanting to read it.

@Skylight Scintillate "Skylight is the pony that has been keeping the scroll with the permission on it!"

[Skylight Scintillate 1,853]

Skylight, who had mostly been following along with the other, suddenly spoke up. "Huh? What's going on? Who are you? Are we still in Canterlot?" Skylight asked Carnelian.

"What is this GerMANE thing?" Skylight turned to Silvermoon.

"Yeah we're here to retrieve a something," Skylight explained.

Shiny Silvermoon made herself a face palm before @Skylight Scintillate's eyes.

"You were not listening, don't you?"

[Glory Feather]

Glory turned to look at Bubblegum Blossom, pointing a hoof in the air "I can confirm this! Skylight does indeed have the scroll!" she whinnied, her halo glowing as a "Light of Truth" above her, as she stood before the pink mare of a bubblegum hue.

Skylight would reluctantly hand over the scroll for Carnelian to read.

"Sorry, there's just something about this castle... It feels kind of familiar but not quite familiar at the same time..."

@Skylight Scintillate "It's okay! I understand the feeling... I can't believe I'm actually in the castle where my favorite princess of all time is! Princess Luna is living here!" Shiny Silvermoon became very excited by saying this to her friend.

[Props Valroa 26,051]

@Skylight Scintillate @Nitobit @Saturn Ring @Shiny Silvermoon @Silky the smol

Carnelian would take the scroll in her hooves and step back a bit, and take some time to read the scroll itself to see what was contained within. 

[Bubblegum Blossom]

There was a tense, narrowing of the gaze as the bubblegum mare peered over at each and every one of them. Carnelian would read but the pink one would stand her ground of suspicion. "They are imposters, trying to get closer to royalty. We may need to accompany them away from any mischief they may have." She'd then speak up, "My name is Bubblegum Blossom. I may be escorting you out immediatel--" but she'd falter. For some reason, Carnelian's blue eyes seemed immersed in something else. "Oh. What is a mistake? Is it a valid Canterlot letter?"

"It is, my dear friend! Princess Silky would never write a fake permission! She is a true angel! Just like Glory!" Shiny exclaimed.
