"Oh brimstone, just prepare to receive wounded if you want to help!!" shouted Storm Blitz, taking the initiative, sheathing his hammer, and launching himself out of the spin on a direct path to the Changeling. The plan was to punch it in the face, knock it out, and get it the hell out of the way while Commander Snowfall took care of the unicorn.

550716
((People who have their first day of work tomorrow morning. The again, my boss did tell me I didn't need to start until after Christmas if I didn't want to. I don't fucking know, lol.))

550707 "Did I say unsupervised? No, I don't believe I did. Have you ever been possessed? It's a draining experience. If you must, hold vigil over her or whatever it is that you guards do when somepony's sleeping."

550677>>550714 "Peace is good for trade." The zebra says, taking a pull from his bottle, then sighing heavily. In the zebra tongue, he starts speaking quietly."In my mind, I am free from torment. They can't get me in me here... What's the use of mantras when they don't even work.

Looking towards the [[???550714]], he stated loud enough for both parties to hear, "Rocks are useless. It's all in the mind." Turning again to face the pony next to him, he said with a softer tone, "You shouldn't have bought that Rapid. T'wasn't even what you asked for."

550723 "Appoint an escort, then. Yourself, perhaps, or yours truly."

550686
"Yes, we mean everything to eachother." Starlight gave Ferris a meaningful smile. "But, you know, some people say that wisdom is not what one learns, it's what an honest and stalwart person feels and experiences...Or something. This would be much more poignant if I hadn't drank that bottle of whiskey earlier I swear!"

She glanced at the clock. "Oh dear! I'm running late for my training schedule!" She hopped out of her seat and started trotting away. "Well Ferris, it's been an absolute pleasure to talk with you. I hope we see more of eachother in the coming days."

[[and im out]]

550722
Snowfall stops and slowly places her head in her hoof. "that's what I'm trying to do, but in case you haven't noticed, there is a changeling standing right in front of her that will not allow her to be taken peacefully. I have tried asking nicely and was turned down. One way or another, those two are not walking out of this field on their own. If that means I have to knock both of them unconscious and carry them out, then so be it."

550718 "Bro! Everypony! Just calm the Tarturus whatever crap down!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

((I have no idea who to reply to))

550725>>550709

Shade groaned. "That's what everyone tells me..they're all in my mind, they're not real, blah blah blah..."

He took another sip of gin. His ears were getting pleasantly warm and the voices were becoming harder to hear.

Ferris waved his goodbye at the pony, smiling happily. She really had a nice personality, at least to him. He turned back to the counter, and ordered another platter of grapes.

Okay, so maybe they were better than he let on. He didn't mind that, though. These grapes were exceedingly tasty.

550733 "Ugh, you're telling me. Hang on." Skysong began to trot up to the changeling, a royal-blue aura wreathing his sword."

550740
((Well, I was gonna fight your pet changeling, but my backup decided not to back me up, so now we're arguing. I'm gonna laugh if while this is happening Darkswirl just kind of gets up and walks away .))

550741 ((I was actually gonna have somethin where my OC uses the Second Sight to experience the voices himself, but that didn't really work out, so))

550746 Cli'kat began flittering his wings quickly in short bursts, glaring darkly as he prepared for an attack.

550747
550740

((Actually, Storm Blitz thinks the plan is still going and is flying at the Changeling at around 36,000 meters per second. ))

550750

((Cool idea, I'm sure we'll find the chance.))

550747 ((Nah. I' waiting for you guys to grow some and just take her in and knock Cli'kat out or something ))

550747 ((Hey! Skysong was raised to be a pacifist! (note I didn't say he is a pacifist)))

550714 "Caves are horrible. Almost always either full of criminals or rats hiding from the rest of the city."

550725 Seeing Wastani looking at her necklace, Rapid quickly hides it inside her uniform, trying to keep it out of sight and out of mind. "Well... I didn't so much buy it. Faultless did, and she got it all... bulk. She bought the one stone and got the rest for free." She then takes another long pull, sad to see the bottle at only a quarter full.

550753 ((Too much math for one night.))

550759
((Really goddamn fast, basically. If I punch you, you're knocked out immediately))

550746 "Aim for where his neck meets his lower jaw, the chitin is rather thin there," Lofty advises with an heir of experience, adding only slightly over his breath, "it's a good place to start peeling, second only to the rectum."

550755
((Yeah, once Skysong fails to calm him down that's what's gonna happen. I'm just trying to do this with as few injuries as possible to either side lol.))

550758>>550725

Shade offers his bottle. "Yeah, but that's the best part about the caves. It's like a party...that's what a party is right? A bunch of criminals and rats in a cave?"

550758 "Don't forget about slavers... Always full of slavers..." Wastani's could feel his face reddening from the small amount of alcohol he drank, reminding him of his small stature, causing him to let out another bought of small sobs. "And this is why I don't drink..." he mumbles. [[It was in Razors 'verse that changelings could speak all languages, right?]]

550741

550753 ((Not for long))

550751 "Bro, chillax, I'm not gonna fight you," Skysong said, while catching Storm Blitz with magic. He used the pegasus' momentum and redirected him such that nopony got hurt. "I'm here as an escort. I'm going to take the two of you back to your room(s), and make sure you both get some decent rest. Cool?"

He held out a single, sky-blue hoof to Cli'kat.

((Welp, I'm out for the night. Adieu everyone!))

550779 [[those raised in T'rahk Enox are taught all the major languages in school]]

550788 ((later dood.))

550776 Rapid finishes her bottle, then take's shades, wiping the mouth off on her uniform. "No, last night was a party. You should have been here."

550779 ((I think they had to learn it like anyone else, but I could be wrong. I might be able to use magic or something...)) Rapid takes a swig from the new bottle, then shrugs. "Not a lot of slavers in Canterlot. I wouldn't know about them." Seeing him start to sob again, she pats him on the back. "Hey, it's alright. I don't know what's wrong, but it'll be okay."

550779>>550758

"He's turning red," Shade whispered to Rapid. "Are you sure kids can drink this stuff?"

550786

Storm Blitz yelped as he was suddenly direct off course. Fortunately, the idiot unicorn was smart enough to aim him at the outskirts of town rather than some building, and it was a simple matter to convert the change in momentum into a speedy glide that ended with him circling the training field.

They were going to have words later, but Storm was enough of a professional not to interfere with an operation that was already underway.

550795>>550779 "Kids, no. Him? Yes."

550797 ((thanks bro))

550786 Cli'kat bites your hoof, sinking his fangs into the flesh.

550794>>550779

"But it made him cry...um, what should we do?"

550800 "Ow! What was that for, bro?!? I'm trying to help you!!!!"

Bishop wakes up after 2 day Alcohol Blackout in a bed looks to the left to see the librarian, she is snuggled up on him, looks to the right to see some dude doing the same-thing looks down to see his exposed genitalia."Good boy."

[[550804 grr arg, let me get a word in edgewise]]

550807 ((Hey now, PG13))

550804>>550809 ((this is why I paused. I was hoping you'd say something))

550809

((Go right ahead))

550797 [[No more desert. remember the epilogue?]]

550806
"I did tell you that the polite approach wouldn't work. Look, Darkswirl is barely conscious, if you make sure she doesn't go anywhere, I can keep the changeling from interfering, and then they can both be taken back to their roms at the inn, where she and I will have a nice long conversation about exactly what happened during our little 'sparring match' earlier."

Having finished saying that, Snowfall moves toward the changeling, preparing to take him into custody. Forcefully, if necessary.

550794 "Nothing is alright!" The small zebra yells. "Nothing will ever be alright! That's why I'm in this stupid tournament to begin with."
550795 Upon hearing himself be called a child again, he takes a step off the cart, and walks up to the [[still don't know what you are]]. "Why don't you come off of your high horse," he says dangerously, "And say that to my face."
