[Cherry Blossom 864]

Cherry Blossom started to struggle in choking Den and his hooves were tightly around her neck. She began to gasp for air and the veins in her neck wasn't circulating blood. Her grip on Den's neck began to weaken and she started to groan painfully as she was being choked by him.

[Octavia's Bow 2,035]

Den was succeding, and he was trying very hard not to think about it. He knew if he thought about what he was doing, choking out his marefriend, he would stop immediatley. Sapphire acted then. She took her magic and made a muzzle for Cherry's mouth, then took two pairs of hoofcuffs out. She cuffed the back legs and pressed the magic-repressant button.

[Cherry Blossom 864]

A tear ran down Cherry Blossom's cheek as she closed her eyes and passed out coughing. She was incapacitated and the right part of her neck began to swell. The painfully worst thing that she ever felt, was being choked by her own coltfriend and partner.

[Literally Snails 2,307]

Patches couldn't obey Dens command. Whatever he had done had completely drained him. He fell to the ground with a thud. He was asleep before his eyes even closed.

 

----------------

 

Jack considered kicking Nightfall back outside and calling him a slacker, but decided that they both needed a rest.

[Octavia's Bow 2,035]

Den was crying, the warpaint running down his face. He felt her go limp and stopped choking her, letting Sapphire cuff her. "I promised you, if you ever became a demon, I would stop you from hurting anypony. I failed you, and on top of that, I was forced to hurt you. I'm sorry," he said. He promptly ran out of the room silently, racing down the stairs, trying to get home before tears obscured his vision to the point that he could no longer walk.

 

Sapphire called it in, "Sapphire reporting. Cherry Blossom has been subdued. Den showwed up and- and choked her until she passed out, The situation at the hospital is- well, hard to describe. There's blood everywhere, many heartless patients are dead. Over?" she said into the reciever. She recognized Patches, and levitated him to a clean bed, magically pushing it to the end of the hall, then awated orders.

[Literally Snails 2,307]

Karasu was lucky to see a teary eyed Den running home. Of course, he had been waiting outside of his apartment complex. "Sweet young Stallion, why do you have to cry? Do you need any cheering up?" he asked as he blocked Dens path into the complex. "I know how to cheer you up! Remove my mask and I'll give you a kiss."

[InfinityWhale 771]

 

Wits was horrified on the inside. This was a disaster... he shouldn't have let this happen. But on the outside he tried to remain calm and level. "Affirmative. Is the situation under control? Where is Blossom? Where is Den?"

 

He started tapping away and sent clean-up teams to the hospital.

[Octavia's Bow 2,035]

He growled, "Stop stalking me." He was about to run up to his apartment when he stopped in the doorway and turned slowly. He took out the note, he his expression hardened again, as the tears stopped slowly. "You, did you give me this note?" He waved it infron of the stallion's face.

[Nightfall 3,950]

(OOC: I'm not sure what Patches just did, but I think I may have ninja'd you Snail)

 

Maven sighed, having made some coffee and sat down. She watched Nightfall come in, limping. "Hey, you okay?" she asked, getting to her hooves and walking slowly to his side, "Where does it hurt?"

 

"All over. I do t think any song will help. All I need are painkillers and time, Maven.."

He faded off in his speech, then looked her in the eye after lying back down painfully.

"Look, I'm sorry I could not help kill Rando. I should have been there to help defeat him... I'm sorry."

[Octavia's Bow 2,035]

Maven nodded, "I have one. Come sit down over here and I'll sing it to you." She led him to the couch and sat, resting his head on his lap, and began to sing to him softly. She directed it to help ease his pain.

 

Sapphire said into her radio, "Den? He ran crying from the scene after chocking out the suspect. Cherry is currently cuffed, lying on the floor." She caught a bit of feral energy come off of Den, that was quickly blocked. She probaed suspiciously, but he was shutting her out. She knew his spirit was stronger than hers, probably because of her. She did, however, know his general location; their old appartment.

[Literally Snails 2,307]

Karasu smiled, though it could not be seen under his mask. "Don't be so upset, my love. It's only a game." He said as he brushed a black bang out of his eyes. "Don't you want to take off my mask? I promise you won't be disappointed. I'm a very good kisser. Don't you deserve the best?"

[Octavia's Bow 2,035]

He frowned, "Sir... you are making a very strange request of me; I'm the kind of pony that likes mares..." He was confused, and this pony still hadn't answered his question. He knew that his emotions could cloud his judgement, and that he needed rest, and food, and probably some coffee.

 

(If he kisses him, will he explode? And do you want him to? O.o I mean, I've done gay ponies before, but...)

[Nightfall 3,950]

Maven nodded, "I have one. Come sit down over here and I'll sing it to you." She led him to the couch and sat, resting his head on his lap, and began to sing to him softly. She directed it to help ease his pain.

Nightfall closed his eyes, and could not hear the radio. He only heard Maven's song. He relaxed, his pain easing slowly, his tiredness creeping back up upon him. He felt comfort with Maven's head in his lap. He drifted off into a sleep that began with good dreams.

(Karasu is based off of an extremely sadistic villain from yu yu hakusho. He is bisexual and very.. outgoing about it. However, he intends to kill everyone eventually, but he isn't going to kill you now.]

 

"The note is for all of you. You, your friends and the worms." Karasu explained. "The note at the end and the heart is for you. That is my heart, and I have given it all to you. Try not to break it."

[Octavia's Bow 2,035]

Maven's song ended as he fell asleep, and he kissed him softly on the crown of his head. Setting his head down on a pillow, she got up and approached Jack, picking up her coffee, "I'm not strong enough for this town anymore," she stated.

 

Den looked at the pony confused, "You are sooo sending me mixxed symbols. You threaten me and my friends, yet want me to kiss you?" He laughed manicaly, "Wouldn't be the craziest thing I've done all day." He took the strange pony's mask off and kissed him*

[Literally Snails 2,307]

(... I didn't think you were gonna do that ._.)

 

This was unexpected, but Karasu didn't mind. He held on as long as Den cared to, brushing Den's hair the whole time.

 

-------------------------------

 

Jack sighed and spoke to Maven, "Ive learned two things today: This town isnt about strength anymore and for some reason there's a couch in my cabin. I do not remember buying that."

"That is weird," she nods, than sighs. "Even if it isn't about strength, my role is increasingly deminished; I feel useless," she confesses. "Recently, all of the songs I want to sing are sad tales of long lost empires in the distant past."

 

Den broke the kiss and patted him on the back, handing him his mask. He went into his room and lyed down on a cloth-heap.

 

(I know. Which is why I did it)

[InfinityWhale 771]

"Take her in," was Wits order. "We have rudimentary cells taken in and a couple of guards. I have some... business to take care of." He got his coat on and head out, gun in hand. He headed toward Den's house once more. He had something to do.

 

((I'm adding to Wits' ability the magical power to generate workponies from nowhere.))

[Octavia's Bow 2,035]

"Yes sir," she says, actually saluting to the air and giggling. She levitated the unconcious Cherry Blossom and made her follow behind her, chatting to her all the while. "Oh, and Den is at the old apartment, not Cherry Blossom's house," she added into her radio.

 

Den layed there, staring throuh a grimy window, thinking. He was extremely depressed, and couldn't get Cherry off of his mind. In front of him was a bottle of ammonia. He was considering chugging the whole bottle, killing himself.

Wits knocked on Den's apartment door, rubbing something under his cloak. He wasn't sure what he was going to do, or if it was right... but it was the best thing to do. It was a hard enough decision without overthinking it. Best to get the situation done with. He had to deal with Den right now or it would come back to bite him.

[Octavia's Bow 2,035]

"It's open," Den said, not looking up. Sapphire couldn't keep a secret from Den if secret bit her on the flank. He still held the bottle of ammonia in front of his face, not turning around. He was beginning to think the world was a better place without Derine Falosh in it. "Hey Wits."

[InfinityWhale 771]

 

"Look," Wits said, swallowing his pride. "I don't agree with what you did, and you need to change up your tactics. But if you were willing to face down Blossom.... this place is a better world with you patrolling it." He pulled out Den's badge and tossed it to him. "We need you out there. Not in a week. Now. I'm going to do everything I can for Blossom. I can probably fix her, and if I can't, I'm going to go as high up as I have too. I'll get Celestia if I have to, and the Elements of Harmony, too." He started to head off. "I expect to see you tomorrow. Now get some Celestia-mooned sleep. You look like Tartarus warmed over."

[Literally Snails 2,307]

"You needn't act like you have a disease." said Jack, "Your music is your own. You chose what to play. If you do not like what you sing, do not sing it. You are forced to do nothing." As he spoke, his eyes drifted to Rando and Gama's graves. He could not tell which was more poetic, the pony with the heart of a demon or the demon with the heart of a pony.

 

-------------------

 

Karasu was prepared to have a different kind of fun with Wits. The detective had very high magical sensitivity and an extremely adaptive brain. This made it easy for Karasu to let the detective hear what he was thinking. He watched Wits from afar and projected images of death into Wit's head from his own memories. Each image was more disturbing than the last, like mass graves and horribly disfigured foals. As Karasu showed him his favorite pictures he spoke to Wits with his mind. He seemed to be thinking to himself and allowing Wits to hear. 'We'll dig graves for them all. Seven should be a decent start. The worms will eat and destroy until nothing is left but piss! They will all die. The ponies, the princess and the worms! The seven of us will kill them all. We'll kill them all! I'll kill them all! I'LL KILL THEM ALL!'

 

(Basically, Karasu is trying to telepathically scare you for his own enjoyment.)

[Octavia's Bow 2,035]

"Which one is Gama? I saw you take his skull," she asked offhandedly. She thought about what'd he'd said, and sighed. She began to hum under her breath, and lean on a wall.

 

Den caught his badge and looked at it, "It's funny you said that. I feel like the more I think about it, the more I deserve to down this bottle of ammonia. "Oh, ya, before I forget. This was on my door. There was a pony with a mask."

[InfinityWhale 771]

 

Wits blinked and turned his head as he walked away. Hm.... somewhat similar to his visions. He allowed his multifold visions of the multiverse flow in. It couldn't block them out entirely, but it created a nice static to keep him from perceiving them entirely. Then, trying to ignore the visions, he started to track the magical source.

 

"If you want a duel," he said. "You chose the wrong person to fight with. I am a Sage level magician after 30 years of extensive magic training and practice. Too late now, though." He sent out a tentative pulse and tried to trace the location.
