private A meeting with Death

[Count Paradox 3,548]

Dox looked at Shade with a bit of sadness in his eye. "I... I'm sorry about that, Shade... it must be terrible having to hide what you really are... now I feel terrible for being cross with you... and as for the plan... we'll try it your way." Then he heard Arrow say something about a plant to look for. "Ok, will do."

[Lost Profile 644]

* that seemed like it was out of nowhere.* she thought,

 

"Well what ever, I have a heavy set of armor here for arrow, and some blue shades to cover her eyes. Just tell me when your ready to change, I had about 3 love kittens when I was at the hive scouting so It won't be so hard to change you" she said.

[Feather Gem 968]

"Yes!" Chamois said.  "Plan while we walk!  How far is this changeling hive anyway?  I think we'd have plenty of time," she said.

If some pony were talking in that upbeat tone that you're speaking now, in this situation, I would not hesitate to hit you.

Good thing I'm me then.

Chamois stepped forward, a bit away from Nightfall, completely aware that he was getting closer to her.  "What do the flowers look like?" she asked the dryad named Arrow.

[Nightfall 3,950]

"Yes!" Chamois said.  "Plan while we walk!  How far is this changeling hive anyway?  I think we'd have plenty of time," she said.

Chamois stepped forward, a bit away from Nightfall, completely aware that he was getting closer to her.  "What do the flowers look like?" she asked the dryad named Arrow.

 

Chamois didn't sound herself; she sounded too cheerful. Nightfall listened to every word she said, and her "cheerfulness" was beginning to make him wonder if she was under some kind of spell. He wondered if she was secretly a spy; his paranoia began its work.

@@Feather Gem,

 

 

Arrow took the armor from Shade and started putting it on. "They're a dark green and they have some reddish spots...its more of an orange kinda red." She said, looking at Chamois. "They're kinda rare but I am sure somepony will see one on our way to the hive." She said.

[Count Paradox 3,548]

"Right then!" Dox looked around cheerfully at everypony. "Let's not let this opportunity go to waste! Lots of things to do, plants to find, evil to defeat, that sort of thing, so let's get to it then, shall we?" He gave everypony a charming grin, then walked over to Shade and whispered in her ear, "You know, after all of this is done and over with, I can help you find something to change you into a normal pony." He turned back to everypony. "Ok, we're set!" He turned to face Shade. "Fire when ready."

[Feather Gem 968]

"A green flower?  That could be difficult or easy to spot.  It would be easy to be seen as a leaf, but easy to be seen as a flower.  Not many flowers are green," Chamois said, more to herself then any pony else.  She shrugged.  She went over to Nightfall, looking him straight in the eyes.

Good girl, Chamois.

"So we've got to stick together as we're in a pair," she said, smirking.

Maybe I shouldn't have even mentioned it.

[Lost Profile 644]

Shade takes one of the bigger shards from the orb and smashes it more, green fire surrounded her and changed her back to her changeling forum. She walks up to dox, "now why would I want to get rid of such powers? I'm a one of a kind." She said as she touches dox with her hoof changing him to look like a changeling.

[Nightfall 3,950]

"A green flower?  That could be difficult or easy to spot.  It would be easy to be seen as a leaf, but easy to be seen as a flower.  Not many flowers are green," Chamois said, more to herself then any pony else.  She shrugged.  She went over to Nightfall, looking him straight in the eyes.

Good girl, Chamois.

"So we've got to stick together as we're in a pair," she said, smirking.

Maybe I shouldn't have even mentioned it.

He mustered enough courage to lift his head to meet her own eyes.

"Right. But... I didn't hear much of the conversation; I'm afraid I tuned it out to think. What are we looking for, or are we going the the hive now?"

He blushed a little, admitting his unawareness.

[Count Paradox 3,548]

Before Shade changes him, Dox shrugs and nonchalantly says, "Ok, suit yourself. But don't say I never offered you anything." As she touched him, he once again felt the intense warmth of her spell, and could feel the different parts of his body change. His legs becoming hole-y. His teeth growing into fangs. The wings growing out of his back. Finally, he was done. "Ah, feels great to have these babies again..." He rustled his wings, making a buzzing noise. "Even if it is for a short time."

[Feather Gem 968]

"We're going to the hive now, but we should be on the look out for some green flowers with red spots for Arrow over there," Chamois said, gesturing towards Arrow.  "And while we walk, we shall plan!"

Ew, Chamois.  Your cheerfulness is really fake.  Is any pony even falling for it?

Upon thinking this, Chamois glanced around uncertainly at the other ponies expressions.

[Lost Profile 644]

shade looked at dox as a changeling, then looks at herself. she thinks for a second, thinking about not having to feed on love and not being hated for being a changeling. "actually, i think id like that... if there is a cure, it would be wonderful if i was a normal pony. thanks." she whispered to dox.

 

"so whos next? i got plenty of energy left in me" she said to the other ponies.

[Alex Kennedy 1,228]

@,

 

Lost Knowledge stepped up.

 

"I guess it might as well be me next. I have to admit, this is going to be an amazing opportunity. Unprecedented incite into physiology of the changelings. But that's hardly why we're doing this, is it? Anyway, go ahead, I'm ready when you are."

[Nightfall 3,950]

"We're going to the hive now, but we should be on the look out for some green flowers with red spots for Arrow over there," Chamois said, gesturing towards Arrow.  "And while we walk, we shall plan!"

Ew, Chamois.  Your cheerfulness is really fake.  Is any pony even falling for it?

Upon thinking this, Chamois glanced around uncertainly at the other ponies expressions.

 

He smiled slightly, only trying to match Chamois "cheerfulness."

"That sounds like it might be a good plan... only... what is that plant?"

He looked at Chamois, his expression mostly blank, but his eyes definitely saying, "I have no idea what is going on here; I think I need help."

[Feather Gem 968]

The other ponies seemed to have the usual expressions that they would have at a time like this.  Of course, none of them were paying much attention to her, and probably wouldn't care.

Good.

Chamois turned to Nightfall.  "Its a cure for poison joke...jokes.  I think," she said.

[Count Paradox 3,548]

Dox nodded to Shade and gave her a small smile and a wink. "Ok, I'll see what I can find when we get a chance. We'll head out to my place after we're done with the hive. We'll still need to head north to face death." He started to glide around a bit, enjoying his wings again.

[Lost Profile 644]

shade stepped up to lost and casted the spell on her hoof, she then touched lost with her hoof and changed him to look like a changeling, "ok, your done... now whos next? and i think we should hurry up and get a move on, the hive has almost finished their feeding season, and they will be strong if we dont hurry up." 

[MelancholicMemory 2,027]

"Yeah, we really need to get going. I would like to be changed next, Shade," said Moonbeam, approaching the changeling. She kind of liked looking like a changeling before. Something about it was just incredible. "I'm ready whenever you are, Shade," she said with a smile.

[Lost Profile 644]

Shade looks over at moonbeam and changed her to look like a changeling, shade felt dizzy afterwords... "Woh, that took more than I expected, what ever we should get going il change the rest of you while we walk." Shade already felt energy being depleted from her, it's not an easy spell to change others, but the only other way to change them is by actually turning them into full changeling, it was an option but shade didnt want to mention it yet.

[Alex Kennedy 1,228]

Lost looked over his new changeling body and gave his wings an experimental flutter. Were it a more appropriate time for research he could likely make all kinds of interesting discoveries, but they had a mission that was far too important. Still, he rather enjoyed his new form.

[Count Paradox 3,548]

Dox stopped gliding around gleefully and landed, suddenly very serious. "Yes, we do need to get moving, and quick. Shade, you just said that this is their feeding season, yes?" He began to pace and think. "Well, that would mean that they would have to leave the hive, because they feed off of love and, well, let's face it, changeling hive, nooot a big love factory, is it?" He looked at Shade. "While you were there, what was their usual feeding time, when did they leave the hive to feast?"

[Lost Profile 644]

"Oh dox, if only you knew... They do their hunting and feed out there, but they discovered love kittens, they have a huge zoo of them, and they feed off a lot of them during feeding season, they don't need to leave the hive to eat anymore." She said to dox as she started to walk

[Count Paradox 3,548]

(OOC two part post)

 

Dox frowned. "Well, that does complicate things a bit, doesn't it?" He mumbled to himself. "Well, is there any time at all that they leave the hive in a large group? To hunt, go shopping, do the laundry, anything?!" He said to Shade. "But, I guess, even if they don't, we can still sneak by all those hundreds of thousands of changelings... but let me explain something..."

 

He turned to everypony in the group. "While in the hive, nopony here is to show any emotion. Changelings can pick up emotions just like..." He stomped his hoof as he said, "THAT." He looked around at the ponies' faces. "And it's not just love they can sense, it's also hate. And saddness. And happiness. And a million other emotions, so don't let yours get the best of you, because I promise you..." He paused for a moment. "If they detect you, they will find you and suck you dry."

 

(OOC cont...)

 

"Unless... they take you to mommy..." He grinned his wild grin. "And believe me, you REALLY don't want to meet their mommy. So..." He began marching a little quicker. "I say we pick up the pace a bit more as Shade tells me more about the hive's patterns. Come on, then!"

 

(OOC ok, finally done... more than i expected, really.)

[Lost Profile 644]

Shade raised an eyebrow, she felt like making a nasty comment but... "Um... I... Don't think that's entirely true..." She said with a sort of offended look. " they can bairly tell eachother apart when their desguised." She added.

 

"The only time a large group of them would leave would be during a raid, like what they did to canterlot during the wedding. Lets face it, there not going to do that for a long time... they are still recovering from failing to take controle of the comet and being defeted by twilight sparkle... Who ever that is..."

[Feather Gem 968]

Chamois gave an involuntary shiver as Paradox told them about the changelings.

I'm seriously doomed right now.  Absolutely doomed.

But...I've done it before...haven't I?

Then Shade spoke, and made Chamois a bit confused.  Do I trust, this...black and white...pony...here?  Our leader?  Or do I trust the half pony half changeling when it comes to changelings?

Hm.

This is going to be a long day.
