private A meeting with Death

[Count Paradox 3,548]

Paradox watched stunned as Arrow went off on Shade. He had never expected that she would do such a thing, she had always seemed like a nice and calm dryad. But it looked like Shade had pushed her over the edge, and Dox glared at Shade for doing that. "She's right, you know. All you've done is complain about everything and everypony. I think you need an attitude check before somepony really goes off and tries to kill you." He turned his back to her and walked over to Arrow. He sat down next to her.

[Nightfall 3,950]

Chamois turned away from the others and muttered to him; "I just wish every pony would stop arguing and...and just get a hold on things.  This is dangerous.  We can't just argue."  Chamois sighed.  "Not like I'm helping but still," she said, glancing back at the others.

 

"Well, if you want, I can try to get their attentions so you can talk them all out of fighting... But-"

He stopped, blushing.

"What if Shade really doesn't have enough energy to do this..? If you- if you want to go with them, and I can't, then... I don't know..."

He blushed, his voice fading off.

[Lost Profile 644]

Shade blinked, then she reverted every ponies forum back to normal, absorbing the love she gave them along with a little extra. She looks over at all the ponies and, "that's it, I'm out of here, maybe il go warn the hive that there about to be raided, maybe I can redeem myself by fighting you off, just know that I'm not going to be holding off." She said flying off in the direction of the hive.

Arrow stayed quiet as Paradox walked over. She didn't hear what Shade had said or what she had planned to do...but Arrow did know what she had said was probably a bad idea. *Why did I ever agree to do this.* She thought. She heard Paradox sit down but she didn't look up. "I'm sorry." She said, quietly.

[Count Paradox 3,548]

Paradox gently petted her back, telling her, "It's ok... you don't need to be sorry..." He noticed that he slowly turned back to his normal self, and he looked back to see Shade fly off. 'Good... we don't need her anyways... good riddance, I say...' He just sat there and continued to comfort Arrow.

'Good... we don't need her anyways... good riddance, I say...' He just sat there and continued to comfort Arrow.

 

Arrow nodded. "I just...it makes me annoyed when somepony keeps talking about how terrible their life is...when it could quite obviously be much much worse." She said, sitting up. The vines moved off her and she hugged Paradox.

[Lost Profile 644]

Shade had flown to the door steps of the hive, she knew she we being watched, she saw the scouts all around watching her, she also saw the guards looking at her, she knew what she was walking into, but she didnt back down and walked to the gate of the kingdom.

[Count Paradox 3,548]

Paradox hugged her tightly and said, "I completely agree." He sat there, hugging her, for a good while, then let go and said, "Well..... it seems as though we're in need of another plan... Lost, you've studied them, do you know anything about their territory that might help us?" He asked, turning towards him.

[MelancholicMemory 2,027]

Moonbeam was a little disappointed that their temporary cooperation had ended so abruptly, but at this point, she couldn't really do anything about it. She looked back in the puddle. She was also sad that she had lost her changeling disguise. It made her feel cool. She shrugged this off and turned her attention to Lost, hoping he knew something that could help them.

@@Count Paradox,

 

(The real me is totally stumped on this, so excuse me while I make something up.)

 

Lost thought for a while.

 

"Well, like anypony else, they need to sleep, so I guess we'd have a better shot sneaking in at night. That's the only thing that occurs to me off the top of my head. I know the hive will be dark because changelings have perfect nightvision. I also know there are certain chemical compounds that are toxic to changelings but not to ponies. That could help us if we were able to make them, but I don't know if we'd be able to find the components."

Chamois looked at him.  Oh, please don't be weird, she thought almost desperately.  Or sweet.  Please hate me or something.  Chamois shrugged as he finished speaking and a moment later, Shade was gone.  Chamois sighed and listen to Lost for a moment.  She looked at Nightfall again.  "Do you think we'll win?" she whispered.

"We should win, as long as all of us stick together. I'm willing to stay, but if I notice that they would make better progress without me, then- forget that. It's too late to back out, anyhow. All of us need to stay close. We can't argue anymore."

"I won't argue anymore, considering how you don't like it, Chamois..."

[Feather Gem 968]

"That's right!" Chamois said, poking him in the chest.  "Don't you leave me!"  Chamois blushed.  "...and the others," she said, pretending to continue her sentence.

Okay, Chamois.  That's enough.

Chamois quickly pulled her hoof out of his.  "I think you s-should be able to walk now..."

Chamois quickly pulled her hoof out of his.  "I think you s-should be able to walk now..."

He blushed, not knowing where to go. It was quite obvious that she thought this was as awkward as he thought, but it was now evident that she did indeed like him back, judging by her first comment and the poke to his chest.

"O-oh, yeah... Thanks for the help, Chamois... I, um... Here."

He blushed and hugged her. If she questioned it, he would say it was for helping him.

[Count Paradox 3,548]

Paradox thought for a few minutes. "Toxic compounds... toxic compounds... where have I heard about those before?" He began rummaging through his saddlebags and got out a large tome, with the picture of a changeling on the cover, and flipped through it quickly.

[Lost Profile 644]

shade put on her helmet with blue shades to cover her green eyes, she entered the kingdom looking a what once was her home. she looked at all the places her remembered and all that stuff, then she started to fly to the throne room, she was still thinking about what to say to the queen, should she wait untill the ponies came or should she just attack right away?

[Feather Gem 968]

Chamois sucked in a deep breathe as she hugged him. 

Chamois.  I don't care if it's rude or awkward.  You walk away.  This.  Instant.

Chamois paused.

Now, Vine.

Chamois quickly squirmed out of her arms and went over to Paradox and leaned over to see the book he was holding, as if interesting.

His heart dropped like a stone. He had thought she was interested in him, but now it looked like she wasn't.

"It doesn't matter. It was only for a few minutes."

"They were the best minutes of my life!"

"You barely know her! Just calm down. Nothing ever happened... act like it."

"... No. Something happened..."

[Count Paradox 3,548]

Dox finally found the pages he was looking for. "Are these the compounds you were talking about?" He asked Lost, turning the book to him. It showed a list of compounds that were toxic to the changeling race... and what their recepies called for. "My dad left this book in my posession, before he..." He looked at the ground and sighed. "Anyways, he said it might be useful someday, and it seems it HAS become a bit... important, I guess."

[Alex Kennedy 1,228]

 

turning the book to him

 

(Wait, since when do you have a book? Or was I just not paying enough attention? Whatever, it works for me.)

 

Lost Knowledge peered at the book and studied the recipes inside.

 

"Yes, I believe this is it. If we were somehow able to gather the materials listed here, we could make a compound that may very well end up being our key to getting into the hive."

@,

@@Count Paradox,

 

Arrow stood up and walked over to Lost and Paradox. "If its plants you need...I can almost guarantee that they will be in my garden...somewhere." She said, smiling slightly, happy that she could do something that wasn't making the other members of the group angry and leave.

[Count Paradox 3,548]

Paradox nodded, then turned to Arrow. "It seems like most of these can be made of natural things like plants, yeah. And thank you for offering some of your garden, we'll be gentle with it." He gave her a kiss and started off to find some of the listed things.

[Feather Gem 968]

Chamois blinked as Paradox walked away.  She bit her bottom lip.  Okay, okay, I need to do something to snap me out of it.  "Hey, Paradox!  Wait!" Chamois called, hurrying after him.  "Can I help...for once?" she asked, hopefully.  "I'm sure I can find some of those things by myself."

Nightfall's heart sank even more. She seemed to be paying Paradox a lot of attention at the moment. He wondered if there was something wrong, or if he just didn't quite 'fit her needs.' He slowly walked over to the other ponies, waiting for either Chamois to come back to him or for something to do.

[MelancholicMemory 2,027]

Moonbeam walked around the garden, trying to help find the plants they needed. She didn't know much about plants though, so her efforts were largely in vain. Finally, she saw a purple and yellow flower that resembled one of the plants they needed. Maybe this is what they needed? She reached down to gently pick it, but a loud grumbling, wheezing noise could be heard in front of her. She looked up, to see a group of undead standing there, with wide, wicked smiles on their faces. They lunged for her, but she jumped backwards, screaming for help. She scrambled backwards on the ground, trying to get away.

 

"Ahhh! Lost! Nightfall! Paradox! HELP!"
