private A meeting with Death

[Feather Gem 967]

When she left Nightfall letting go of her hoof, she quickly pulled her hoof out of his. 

Dang it, Chamois.

"Come on, then," Chamois said, gesturing to the rest of the group.  She refused to leave his side after already saying that she wouldn't.  Now, they had to move as one.

"Come on, then," Chamois said, gesturing to the rest of the group.  She refused to leave his side after already saying that she wouldn't.  Now, they had to move as one.

He walked beside her, just looking down. As he walked towards the group, he wondered what Chamois was thinking and if he really had upset her, and that if he had upset her, what he had done or said to upset her. It distressed him, but he tried keeping a straight face.

"If Im constantly changing you, then it would just take more energy and time to do... Plus the hive is right over this hill... So just hurry up."

 

Shade seemed to be a bit off balance, she was constantly using magic to keep them changed, but she just needs to play by doxes rules for now.

 

"This would be more easy if I didn't need to keep casting this spell... Wait... I think I know a way to do that." She said * but I really don't think I should do it*

[Count Paradox 3,548]

"And... what way would that be, pray tell?" He was beginning to get a bit suspicious of Shade again. She had suddenly found a new idea rather quickly, and it unsettled him a bit. But he tried not to show it. Besides... Shade was good, she wouldn't do anything to harm the group... right?

Arrow sighed and looked around. "Really ? No pony here has a knife ? Okay, lets just go." She said, wrapping the leaves up in a piece of cloth and placing them in her saddlebag. She walked up the hill and stopped in between Shade and Paradox...possibly on purpose.

@,

 

Lost Knowledge shrugged.

 

"Well, I have a machete, but I think that would probably be a bit much for those." He gestured towards the petals with his hoof. "Of course you can try to use it if you want." He unsheathed his machete and levitated it over towards her.

[Miss Light Diamond 2,802]

@,

 

Arrow shook her head. "Thank you, but I am going to have to do it later, I think everypony wants to get going." She said, staring down the hill at the hive. "Well...this is gonna be fun..." She said, sarcastically taking a few steps down the hill but looking back at the others. "Come on."

[Lost Profile 644]

"Well... First off, it would make all of you look more like changeling... I can see the differences between you and a real one... And second, I won't need to keep this spell up... But the catch is... That it might be a bit dangerous" she said kind of regretting that she brought the idea up.

[Count Paradox 3,548]

"And just how dangerous might that be, Shade?" He was standing at the top of the ridge, staring her in the eye. "Because if it endangers everypony here, I won't have it. Do you here me? If there's even a slim chance that somepony could die because of it, you can forget it."

[Lost Profile 644]

"Oh no no no... Not that kind of dangerous... It won't kill anypony I can tell you that, it's just dangerous in the way that casting it would leave me uncontious. Nothing serious" she said as she still debates wether her plan was good or not, "also, if I fant sometime when were in the hive... Big trouble." She added

[Count Paradox 3,548]

Dox stares Shade down as he contemplates if he should believe her or not. Finally, he decides. "Ok, I want full details of this new idea that you have, what other dangers there could be, and believe me, Shade, there are bound to be countless more dangers when using spells like this, I should know, I've seen 'em all done, and there's always something that goes wrong in some way, big or small. So..." He conjours up chairs for everypony and proceeds to just flop down in his. "What's the plan?"

[Feather Gem 967]

Chamois jumps back as a chair appears beside her, bumping into Nightfall slightly.  She stares at the chair for a moment.  Geez, unicorns can do anything nowadays.  And I'm one of them.  I shoulder really study spells more, she thought.  Chamois slowly climbed onto the chair.  She then looked towards Shade, trying to get herself to pay attention for once.

Nightfall blushed slightly, and got into his chair, next to Chamois. And he didn't want to talk. Now, he was just hear for the ride. Now, he was stuck, and felt like he couldn't turn back, or else terrible things would happen to him, like, say, Death torturing him. Forever.

[Lost Profile 644]

"Well, this spell will make it easyer for us to go through looking like changeling. Right now I'm constantly using magic to keep you changed, and you still arnt perfect, and if you go too far from me and if I fant or something like that, youl be changed back into yourselves. The spell I have in mind will fix all the problems, youl look almost perfect, you can go far from me, and it won't risk me fainting." Shade said.

[Count Paradox 3,548]

"So... what you're trying to say... is that you, Shade, want to turn us... into changelings... is that right?" He paused for a moment, then quickly sat forward in his chair. "What are the dangers, the problems, any side effects that we should know about. But most importantly... will we be able to change back? Or is this permanent?"

[Lost Profile 644]

"It's posable, basically I'm just changing you temporarily, youl still keep your personality and youl have halfling powers like me, but your more like half of a half changeling... Side effects, you might have love cravings, and as for reversible... Il just reverse the spell, and youl be back to normal." She explained.

[Feather Gem 967]

Chamois leaned back slightly.  Dude, wait a moment, wait a moment.  This chick wants to turn us into actual...halflings?  Like...changeling pony things?

"But you're sure its temporary right?" Chamois spoke up.  "And you can do this to all of us?"

I'm not really sure if I like this idea or not...

I mean, it has its pros and cons.

[Lost Profile 644]

"Yes I can do it to all of you, and it will take off the work I'm doing to keep you how you are." She said

 

She was still debating wether or not it was a good idea, but then the dark side of her thoughts took over, *they still don't know what I need to deal with... Maybe changing them will make them know how hard it is to be me... Lets just see if they want to go through with it.*

[Count Paradox 3,548]

Dox stretched. "I don't know, should we even trust her? I mean, yeah, she came back, but she still ran off to the hive." He stared at her, suddenly starting to get a little angry. "For all we know, she could have alerted the queen, and this is a trap." He looked at the others, then at Arrow. "What do you think?"

Arrow thought for a moment. "I think we make a deal. Shade, if you do end up betraying us, I will kill you. If not, than...we will find you someplace where you can live and not have to worry about ponies hunting you down or anything." She said. "Or, we could just trust her...but i'm warning you now Shade...if you leave them stuck like changelings, or if you betray us in Any way. I will feed you to the tinka plant of Saddle Arabia...which isn't fun."

[Feather Gem 967]

Chamois watched the exchange.  I don't trust her.  And why should I?  I know nothing about her and she knows nothing about me.  Who knows what shes capable of.  Certainly not me.

Chamois wasn't sure if she would be able to allow Shade to turn her if they ended up going with that plan.

 

(OOC: Dang it, Chamois.  Why must you be so...untrusting.)

[Lost Profile 644]

Shade felt offended... Again... Her hart sank as her eyes filled with tears... She wiped them out and, " you do know I'm not proud of what I am... I hate myself for what I am... It's a very nice feeling knowing that every pony wants you dead... And dox... You haven't been listening to me have you? Banished from the hive... What ever... Your options now are... Going in as is and risk being undisguised, go with my plan, or keep offending me and trying to shoo me off... What is it going to be dox?" She said

[Miss Light Diamond 2,802]

 

It's a very nice feeling knowing that every pony wants you dead

 

"Don't you dare just assume that I don't know that." She snapped.

Arrow was about to reply again with something else that would probably have hurt Shade's feelings until she noticed a few tears in her eyes. She stopped for a moment then realized...that Shade was more a pony than everypony else thought. "You know what...Shade know's what is best to do in the hive. She is our only chance if we want that sword...if we cant trust her than we wont be able to get the sword at all..." She said.

[Alex Kennedy 1,228]

Lost nodded.

 

"I agree with Arrow. This is our best chance, and as long as Shade is definitely going to be able to change us back, I don't see how we would have anything to lose as opposed to going in the way we are now. Of course, I may be biased since this would be an amazing opportunity to learn more about changelings."

[Count Paradox 3,548]

Dox saw that Shade was on the verge of crying, and he felt horrible. He hung his head and sighed. "I'm sorry, Shade... I really am... I just, I want to protect everypony, you know? I don't want to see anypony hurt, I don't want to lose anypony... and that includes you, Shade." He got out of his chair and walked over to her. He then hugged her tightly and said, "I truly am sorry. Now... let's try your plan."
