private Whisper: The City of Darkness (DEAD)

[MaleTrixie 14]

Gen was behind a Blue pony with Metal Wings, A field trip.. 'To Where, Sir?' he asked, his wings were starting to fluff with tense, He always did that when he got Nervous, Why were they going on a field trip to.. Who-knows-where? Destination? 'What is he trying to say?' he thought, he touched his necklace with his hoof, Just in case

Well, That esculated quickly. She didn't really get it, An Expedition for our 'Destination?', What was he talking about? Everyone was exchanging looks, No one understood in silence while the Principal sat behind his huge desk with a menacing eye,

A field trip.. 'To Where, Sir?' he asked,

'Y-Yeah, and why us?' she said 'Does this have something to do with our Cutie Marks?' everyone was still silent. Isn't this a nice day.. Edited February 6, 2013 by Crystal Dancer

Pisces was already not liking this idea. The principal had paused when he said "field trip" which meant that the normal pony would not use the words field trip, to describe this so called "trip". Which meant that the principal was hiding something, which in turn meant that they would get to figure out something horrible when they went.

Cutie marks? Pisces glanced around the room at the flanks of the other ponies. 

 

Hmmmm, sure enough each pony in the room seemed to have something relating to a certain zodiac sign.

 

Well that was certainly interesting. Of course Pisces knew there was no point in asking the principal. These quest giving types didn't give out all the information as soon as you met them, you had to go out and discover things on your own. Pisces knew he would need to keep any form of questions as equally mysterious as the answers that would be given. Perhaps he could even play the answer a question with another question game. He always liked that one. Even if he was terrible at it.

[RoseBud 26]

Paratyls first impression at what the he just said 'What The Hell.', He was standing beside midnight, and staring right at the Pony behind the desk, His black eyes started to quiver with worry, Were they going to get hurt? How far away was it? Whats this place called? Why us? Why HIM? Why was he so worried over nothing? He tryed to sigh but squeaked instead, Some other ponies where saying something, But he didn't hear a word of it, He was busy trying to take in what the princible just told them.

[White Out 36]

It was growing increasingly obvious that something exceedingly important was going on while Sagittarius sat scribbling in history/science class. This was a normal occurrence; he always seemed to be missing when the spotlight was up, and today was no different.

Would the teacher care if he left? Well, of course he wouldn't; he probably wouldn't notice in the first place. So the real question was; did Sagittarius care enough to do anything about it?

No, probably not. He didn't care enough.

In fact, as far as caring went, he was simply the worst there was.

For all he knew, there was a group of ponies about to go on an epic adventure to discover their true selves, overcoming obstacles and learning the value of trust, friendship, and teamwork, and Sagittarius was missing as usual.

But that would be silly.

Back to drawing ponies.

[Prince Midnight 817]

midnight shook his head, "sir, are we allowed to take weapons?"

 

the pony looked over at midnight, "yes." he said simply,

 

midnight nodded, "thats all i wished to know sir."

 

he frowned thinking to himself again "this must be dangerous, but why us? why now? i dont understand."

[Psych Ward 377]

"Shit..." Arianna whispered as she quickly walked to the office.  What did she do this time.  She stopped, remembered the picture she had posted on the bulliten board as a dare.  No one was supposed to find out it was her.  She kept walking, hoping it was something normal, like the honor roll award.

Tlalli looked at Midnight, She just looked at him. Weapons, Why did he even ask? and Seriously, That was all he wanted to know? Wow, But Tlalli was still glad that they were allowed to bring Weapons, Atleast I'd be easier to defend themselves if anything got nasty, She got herself wondering what the others would bring for a weapon but she quickly snapped out of it 'Stop it! Don't think Weapons think Why!' said that tiny little voice in her head 'Why don't you just shut up and let me make my own decisions you little devil pony' she thought to it, She stopped and facehoofed herself for insulting herself, Another thing to add to her list of embrassing moments that only she knew about. Ahwell, Back to listening and glacing at everypony

[BlackShardNixium 277]

Libra carefully measured the principal's expression as he answered each question. Some were to be expected. Most asked why, and another's asked where.

But why had Midnight immeadiatly think of weapons?

Libra winced when Tlalli asked about their cutie marks. For a moment, the principal's expression faltered. But it was gone before she could properly analyze it.

Suddenly, the principal called over the intercom, deep voice ringing over the speaker stratigicly placed around the school:

"Scorpiok and Saggitarius, report to my office immeadiatly!" He growled.

He then turned to them, distaste in his gaze.

"You all wait in the hallway until those two arrive!" He barked

As Libra quickly turned to exit the office, she pictured his expression in her mind, how he hadn't even bothered to answer Tlalli's question. But the look on his face. His expression. It was fear....

[Psych Ward 377]

Arianna met frowned as she approached the office and saw everypony exiting.  "Did you get called too?" she asked.  "I tried going to class and the teacher gave me a none.  What's going on?"  She twitched her tail, something she often did when she was nervous.  This is to weird.

[Prince Midnight 817]

midnight frowned, he was zoned out, talking to himself like he usually did when he was intently thinking, trying to talk himself through something difficult.

he shook his head, before he left he would need to grab his bow and arrows, he didnt know WHY he asked that question, he just felt the need to, why WOULD they need weapons, its just a school trip, but then again, strange things suddenly started happening, but it didnt seem like it was random.....it was something else, like everything was planned.

[Imagine 284]

Aquarius sat impatiently in the office, waiting for what the principal was about to say, she tapped her hoof against the wall quietly and waited for what he said. He had said they were going on a field trip, she raised her eyebrows and thought " Well, where is this field trip exactly going to be? " Another thing that made her feel strange is how Midnight had asked if they could bring weapons, and he said yes! She thought about if something dangerous would be there.

[White Out 36]

"Scorpiok and Saggitarius, report to my office immediately!"
The bluish earth-pony's ears twitched, and he looked up from his latest 'masterpiece'. Huh. That never happened.
They still pronounced his name wrong, though. It was a 'g' like the 'j' in 'jam', not like saying 'sag'. It didn't help that everypony that bothered to spell his name spelled it with two G's either. Why was he thinking so much about this? Wasn't he required at the office for something?
A few conversations broke out in science/history class, most including drawn-out 'ooo's, and how those two must have been in trouble. A few were asking who the hay Sagittarius was. He still kinda wished somepony would pronounce his name right, though the fact he was being mentioned in the first place was definitely a step up. Whatever. He swept the contents of his desk off, now making them the contents of his bag. Close enough; organization was for ponies who cared.
While the rest of the class seemed divided by the absolute chaos permeating the air (I mean, since when did something interesting happen at this school?), Sagittarius simply slid his saddlebag down his neck and made his way to the door. No comment, apparently. Whatever.
The hallways were clean, at least. Nice, clean hallways. That was really all that he had to occupy his mind while he walked. Was there a reason he was being called to the classroom? And what of this 'Scorpiok' pony?
He vaguely remembered drawing something vaguely resembling a scorpion-tail during lunch, so that must have been him. What a weird name; Skorpiok. Not that Sagittarius was in a position to comment on anypony's name. What kind of parent names their foal 'Sagittarius', anyway? Who even does that??
He'd considered trying to push a nick-name instead in the past, but considering how scarcely his name was mentioned in any conversation anyway, the point was Void.
Whatever. Back to drawing ponie-
Oh, wait. Taking care of this summons to the office first, and then back to drawing ponies.

Tlalli Amithi - Taurus

Tlalli squeezed out of the office doorway and stood in the hallway next to Libra while waiting for 'Scorpiok and Sagittarius' to come from their classes, then maybe the princible would tell us where the hay we are going or doing there? Everyone was asking the same questions, What, Where, Why, How, Naturally of course but everyone was so.. freaked out. Tlalli was too, Just not as much as everyone else seemed to be, She didn't really know as much as everyone else, She hardly knew her family and when she lived with her Aunt, She didn't let her do anything.. And Now shes homeless so.. Yeah, Points to oblivious. She decided she'd bring it up later with one of the other ponies, She had to deal with all this stuff for now. 'Sir?' she said, turning around and looking at the princible, He raised his eyebrow 'What?', 'Can I aleast dig up my grave first?', he growled and Tlalli turned around to look at Libra 'I just wanted to know' she said to her with a smile 'So what do you think this is all about?'

[BlackShardNixium 277]

Libra grinned. Tlalli's question had been funny. Snarky even, and she managed to get as rise out of the principal, too! She shrugged, nonetheless. She had no idea what this was about any more than the next pony, but it sure did spook her, if nothing else. She hoped Sagittarius and Scorpiok would arrive soon enough, she was itching to find out where it was they were going, and what exactly the principal wanted them to do....

[White Out 36]

Unless Sagittarius was suffering from some new form of medical hallucination, he was pretty sure that was a large group of pastel ponies waiting outside of the office he was just called to. Apparently he was late to something? He really should have been expecting something like this, as everypony there had one of the symbols he'd been doodling during lunch as a cutie mark. What an odd bunch, too.

Either way, he decided silence was the most opportune action to take. Plus, he was called into the office, and all of these ponies were waiting outside of the office, so Sagittarius reasoned that he would be able to ignore them for the mean time.

The bluish earth pony idly trotted by the group without a word, opened the door, and entered the room.

Time to deal with whatever the principle felt he should have to deal with.

Pisces watched the blue stallion walk into the principal's office. This pony looked somewhat familiar, but Pisces couldn't really tell where he had seen him from before. Oh well, if he was important, Pisces would probably have remembered him.

"Who do you guys think that is?" Pisces asks, turning to the group.

Scorpiok had skipped some classes to practice magic with himself until he heard he was called into the office ¨...What now¨ he walked to the hallway where the office room was entering the door to see Arianna and a bunch of others 'thats just strange why would we get called now' but he didnt want to meet all of them right now so he teleported into the room using his scorpion transformation to sneak into it.

[White Out 36]

Pshaw. Unicorns; always showing off. If Sagittarius had a magic bucking horn, he wouldn't be waving it around like some piece of Freudian imagery. For being subtle, that Scorpiok sure liked to show off his subtlety. Kind of counter-productive, if you asked him.

Bah, enough thinking about unicorns and their unfair amount of magic; they were both in that office, and there was a group of ponies outside for no discernible reason besides the obvious zodiac phenomenon. The bluish earth pony gave a passing nod to the red/browning unicorn next to him, and turned his attention to the principle. The particularly tall earth pony didn't look all too happy, which was starting to give Sagittarius the idea that he wasn't about to enjoy whatever he had to say to the two.

Sagittarius kept silent. It was one of the things he took pride in being good at.

The question Aquarius asked was never answered, was it really dangerous? She stood outside the principals office, still trying to think out where they were going, bringing weapons on most trips wasn't permitted! And why had Midnight asked that? Was Midnight a psychopath? She shuddered and walked back to class.

[Psych Ward 377]

Arianna watched Aquarias leave, still not sure what was going on.  She sat on the bench next to the door, waiting patiently.  She pulled out her novel, starting to read again, hoping it would pass the time.  She fell into the landscape of ink before her, lost in the words.

[Prince Midnight 817]

Midnight streached his wings before laying down on the ground, his tail wrapped around him, and his head resting on his hooves, before starting to daydream, of odd things, like a giant black flying thing, it looked to midnight like a giant metallic tortise with stubby wings.

shaking his head, he stared at the wall, waiting for the others was like watching paint dry.

[Budding Night 1,043]

Tlalli Amithi - Taurus

This was boring... Just sitting here waiting for whatever to happen next, They didn't know any details apart from we're all going together and we can bring weapon; The Princible didn't even answer anypony elses questions, Only Midnights.

Tlalli decided just to not think about it, So she sat down and leaned her side against the wall, closed her eyes and thought of lullabies..

[rolle 320]

Scorpiok took out a blade he had hidden in his hoof... Wait in his hoof? Ok anyways he took it out and pointed it at the principal ¨what do you want now old man... Another assassination or just want to meet me¨ he said totally calm ignoring the other pony in the room. (ok now you know what he did )

[White Out 36]

Yep, 'subtle'. If Sagittarius could describe this unicorn holding a knife at the principle in one word, it would be 'subtle'. The loudest, most obnoxious, most sarcastic 'subtle' Sagittarius had ever said, probably accompanied by sarcastic hoof-waving and eyes rolled so far back you might as well call the earth pony a teacher for all the control he had over his pupils.

What in the hay could the principle want with a crazy, knife-wielding unicorn and him of all ponies? That was like two complete polar opposites on the Subtlety Continuum in the same room, and Sagittarius was already missing his time alone, drawing ponies that weren't so keen on stabbing everything in sight.

I mean, who pulls a knife in the principle's office? Who even does a thing like that?

Maybe he called for the wrong pony, and there was another Sagittarius in the school that liked knives and threats and the combination of the two. Whatever the two of them were needed for, it certainly couldn't have been for similar reasons. What could he, Sagittarius, the type of pony everypony shouldn't know, have in common with this psycho?

Was it the cutie marks? Seriously? He had to be stuck with Stabby McHearth's-Warming because he had a stupid zodiac sign on his flank?

Alright, alright, he should calm down. Maybe this was all just some silly get-together. Maybe the principle was just curious why there were twelve fillies and colts running around with zodiac signs on their flanks. That seemed reasonable. Sagittarius was a bit curious himself, but the abundance of weirdos in the group was quickly convincing him to abandon any inquiry into the subject.
