"I...I read...and sing...quietly...and feed chickens...and...and....um...sleep...and...um...Will you teach me to carve?" he asked, suddenly realizing something he could do with his new friend. He smiled at Forest once more. "Carving looks good. I like carvings. They're pretty..." He gestured at the various carvings hanging around everywhere.

 

Forest smiled. "I'd love to teach ya to car-" He was cut off by a loud explosion that sounded to be coming from the Museum.

Forest's pipe fell to the ground as he stood up, grabbing his ax and staring in the direction of the museum, his ears perking up. "Something's happened...something bad." He muttered, a moment later.

Then he watched as the mist rose up above the city. Without another word to Vesper he ran out onto the street to watch the mist surround the city, towering high above, leaving the sky open. He looked at Vesper. "Come On." He said, running in the direction of where the commotion had come from, strapping his ax to his belt around his waist as he went.

The noise made him jump a little. Vesper got back up to his hooves, throwing his cloak over himself to hide his wings by instinct and followed Forest. He saw the mist flowing out into the city. "Not normal...The mist is weird..." he said ominously, staring up at it as he walked.

Forest stopped a little ways up the road to wait for Vesper. "Run...Vesper...not walk. Never mind." He mumbled, walking next to Vesper.

They got a little closer to the museum to see Everypony in a panic. There were guards running in, ponies running out...it was a nightmare.

Vesper watched the ponies curiously. He could tell something was wrong, but he was unfamiliar with typical pony behavior, so he didn't know how bad it was. He watched the ponies scurrying about before turning to Forest and asking, "Forest...what's happening?"

The explosion at the museum sent Jay into a panic. She cantered in the direction of the explosion, somehow unable to head in the opposite way. When she arrived, she was slack jawed with horror. What magic had caused this? Jinx had done similar things in the past so would she be blamed? In utter terror, she turned to flee and blundered into two ponies standing near her.

Forest Shrugged at Vesper and was about to get a little closer...until out of the blue, a random mare walked into them. Forest didn't move an inch, it was almost like her was nailed to the ground.
He reached a hoof out and pulled the mare back up to her hooves. "Y'alright?" He asked.

Jay let out a little scream as she was hauled back on to her hooves by the stranger she'd walked into. "I-I'm sorry," she stammered. "I don't know what's happening here, but they'll blame me! They'll think that Jinx did it!" She began to sob, longing for the other pony to protect her.

 

"If anypony asks," she said, looking at the stranger with scared eyes, "Could you say I was with you, so they won't think Jinx did it?"

Vesper walked over and stood beside Forest, staring at this strange mare. "Are you okay? We will not hurt you." When she asked for them to lie and say she was with them, he didn't understand. "But you weren't with us..."

 

His wing poked out from under his cloak as he looked at her curiously.

Forest raised an eyebrow. "Suppose it all depends...did Jinx do it? And while we're talkin' 'bout that...who is Jinx?" He asked, making sure he was close enough to her so he could grab her if she tried to run. "If yer friend didn't do it...then sure, ya can stay with us." He said.

Jay looked at them, hiding behind her mane. "Jinx is the evil pony who lives inside my head," she whispered. "She's asleep now; I bought a potion for that, so I know she didn't do it this time. But she sometimes takes my body over and does things like this. She uses bad magic."

Forest gave the mare a comforting smile and hesitantly patted her on the shoulder. "Everypony's got a little part of them that's...evil..." He said, thinking mostly of himself...he couldn't really speak for everypony else...but he wasn't too good at comforting ponies. "So...uh...any idea what did happen?"

Vesper didn't know what to say or do, so he let Forest handle it. He watched and listened carefully until she got to the part about the potion. He then noticed that she was familiar...

 

"The potion lady! You were in the place with the potion lady! I saw you. W-was the potion lady mad?"

In response to Forest, Jay shyly shook her head. "I didn't see it," she murmured. When Vesper spoke, she said, "Yes, I went there to get a potion to keep Jinx asleep for a while. It doesn't last forever so I will have to get another eventually. And she wasn't really mad, just a bit annoyed cuz you didn't buy anything. But I think I made up for it by getting my potion. It cost eight bits."

Forest didn't really know what these two were talking about so he just stood by quietly, looking over the museum before clearing his throat. "What do ya think we should do now?" He asked, looking from the museum doors to Vesper...then to Jay. "Doubt they'd let us enter."

"I-I....I don't know..." he said somberly. He wasn't really used to being out in the world. Everything was so new and strange. So he had no idea what to do in a situation that even normal ponies thought was odd. He was happy though that the potion mare wasn't going to come and try to kill him.

Blossom was a bit of a night owl, so she was still awake when the loud BOOM! rang through Germaneigh. It definitely didn't sound like fireworks. She was tired from the day's festivities, but she had enough energy to go out and see what was going on. Stepping outside, she witnessed a dark mist spread over the town and surround it. Her curiosity overrode her terror, and she sped towards where she thought the noise had come from. Blossom was soon at the Town Hall, which had many ponies galloping to and from it. There was a small group of ponies a ways away from the wreck who were chatting nervously. Perhaps they had seen what had happened.

 

"Excuse me," Blossom began, approaching them. "Do you know what's going on? I heard a loud bang, so I came to check it out." Just then she realized that they probably thought she was a teenager. She hated her condition - she was 27 years old! Why couldn't she look like it? Oh well. Hopefully that wouldn't change anything.

Jay shook her head. "I don't think they'll let us in," she murmured, as tho afraid that somepony would overhear. When the strange pony approached, Jay was at first frightened then relaxed when she saw that the new pony was little more than a filly. "We don't know what happened," she said. "Nopony's come to tell us and I wish they would."

Blossom sighed, dissapionted. Then again, she couldn't really expect the first ponies she saw to tell her every detail. "Okay, then. Thanks." Is there any reason for the government or police to be secretive about this? she thought as she walked away. It was a little strange...It was unlikely that she'd be able to get a closer look, but maybe there were some ponies closer to the site of the havoc who knew what was happening. Sadly, Blossom had no luck. She went back home and decided to wait until the next day when the situation would most likely be addressed by the government. Her sleep was fitful and she had bad dreams..

Broken Cloud woke up with a start and poked her head out of her cloud-nest. She had heard a loud explosion, and looked below for the source. She had been living in Germaneigh for a week or so now, after having had her body be taken over by fallen once again. The insane voice in her head had killed many in a small Equestrian town on the border. Getting sick of the constant massacres that Fallen caused, Broken had decided to move out of Equestria before she was caught and killed herself.

Now, she saw some ponies talking outside a museum, and flew down to them. She turned to one of them, gritting her teeth.@,

 

"Just what the hell is going on?"

Vesper looked at the mare with a shocked expression. She was upset. Was she upset with him? Were his wings exposed? No...He just kind of stared at the mare for a while before trying to say something. All that came out were broken stutters. He had hardly any interaction with ponies, and he wasn't prepared for a mare coming out of the blue to talk to him. Finally he managed to say, "Don't know..."

[sunne 660]

@, 

Broken nearly facehooved at the pony's inability to speak.

"Then who does know?" she snapped, annoyed.

"Broken Cloud, you're scaring him."

'Since when do you care?'

"I don't on a personal level, but you're not going to get any answers from him. i'd like to know who rudely woke me up as well. Let me take over."

'No.'

"And why not?"

'Because you'll just start killing everypony.'"That's why we're here in the first place, Fallen." Broken was getting so aggravated with Fallen, she was starting to forget to think her responses instead of speaking them.

"You just spoke out loud."

"Damn it."

Forest sighed as another pony flew over to them...he wasn't good in groups.
He mumbled something before turning and walking into the museum.
His eyes widened at the sight before him...there were bodies everywhere...it was awful.

He gulped and looked at the nearest pony who happened to be a guard. "What...What happened?" He asked.

(So sorry I've been inactive, allot's been going on recently...plus I've just kinda forgotten about this RP but I'm still interested. Higurashi I dunno if you want to control the guards or not but...yeah...)

Vesper just stared at her nervously for a while, not even listening to her outburst. She scared him and he wanted to get away from her. When Forest went inside the museum he followed closely behind, not wanting to be left alone...or with these scary mares.

@, Jay looked at the strange mare in almost recognition. "You're like me," she whispered. "I have another pony that lives in my head, her name is Jinx. She's sleeping at the moment, cuz I took a potion, but it won't last forever. She's hurt and killed other ponies, but I can never be free of her."

@@Pripyat Pony, 

Broken whipped around to face the pony who had spoken to her.

"There's a potion that lets you put the pony in your head to sleep?" she asked, bewildered. Under her breath, she added "You have got to show me where to get one..."

"So Jay and Jinx. Huh. I'm Broken Cloud and the pony in my head is named Fallen. I've had her in my head since I was a filly, and she's killed several. The most recent killing being in Invermare, in Equestria, with some other ponies like us."
