Ponysona 4, the Campaign.

Zeela just looks with total amazement at learning this. "...wow..." She had no fear or worry in her voice only pure curiosity and wonder. "I swear, I'll NEVER tell the others about this... Until you trust them enough to let them know..."

(OOC: Ok... We've let this chat go on LONG enough...)

((Agreed.))

"Th-...Thank you, Zeela...I mean it...That's...Well, that's a load off of my mind..." She smiled a bit...She hadn't meant to say anything, but she felt a little better for it. "But we've spent enough time here, we should go...We know what we came to find out, and...Y-Yeah. S-Sorry, though...about uhm...Yeah. Anyway...Thank you for your time, Arcane! Uhm...We'll be seeing you...!" She turned, heading back to the real world...

George jumps, scattering the papers he'd been reading.
"I'm not sure it's something I should worry you with."
He starts gathering the papers back up.

Arcana waves away the mares, smiling slightly.

Shiro looks at one of the papers. "Analysis shows heavy usage of suppliments designed to boost magical prowess and intelligence, however the amount used seems to show heavy dosages and illegal use if his lack of prescription is any indication..." Shiro tilts his head. "Somepony's a druggie? Ick."

Brash can find his way to Zeela and Melody by accident.

Icing may work early in the morning that sunday, however he gets a rather interesting visitor. "Hello, is a Mister Sugar here?" a cloaked pony asks.

Icing gives a salespony smile to the potential customer, leaning an elbow against the counter and adding some enthusiasm to his normally depressive tone. "My name is Icing Sugar, though you might be looking for my dad, Just Desserts. Either way, what can I do you for?"

'It's been too quiet nowadays, too much competition. I hope they buy something.'

The pony slipped off his hood, and shook his red and tattered mane. "Top of the Mornin'. Sorry 'bout the way I look. I just got into Ineighba today. Got any Blood orange sherbet with Cherry sauce??" The unicorn was, to put it bluntly, injured. Severely by the looks of his scars going all along his face and neck. Some of the shoppers squeak a bit and some younger ones have their eyes covered..

As Melody stepped out into reality, she took a moment to let her eyes adjust to the lighting...She looked around for a moment, spotting Brash as she did so, and smiling brightly, deciding to call out to him. "Hey, Brash! How's it going?" She trotted towards him, seeming amused. "We just, ah, got out of that Velvet place..." She gestured back at the...door.

Brash turns around at the sound of his voice being called out and spots the pair. Walking closer he says, "Hay mares. Oh yeah? Icing and I were in there earlier but, we didn't really get any information. What about you two? Learn anything interesting?"

"Nothing more then, friendship, upgrade the friendship... And maybe we might try to find where Star's shadow-self's realm is before it attacks. But we'd have be really lucky to find it. It's not perfect." Zeela sighs.

George put the sheet back with its fellows in a folder.
"Yeah, hopefully they'll be easy to get off it."
He leans down toward Shiro, trying to look less worried.
"So what have you been doing today?"

Shiro looks to the side. "Practicing in the TV world. I'm not enrolled in school after, er... But I've been trying to see where the heck that water came from. It tasted like icky medicine and made Arachna act funny."

"Yeah, not much, but it's a little more than we had..." She looked down for a moment, scowling. "I still don't get everything, yeah, but...Hopefully between our group, we can figure something out...Don't wanna see him get in trouble, he's a friend, afterall."

"If we had some more information we'd at least how something to search for." Brash says with a shake of his head. "Hmm, it's later than I thought. You guys want to meet up tomorrow and like, help me get one of those phone things? Not that I'm busy now but, I think most of the stores are closed."

"Yeah, there's that...And, uhm, well...Other than a carnival over there, I got nothing. But yeah, we could get you a phone tomorrow. It'd definately be useful, we could set you up with a really nice one...! We'd need to show you how to use it too..." She grinned, seeming to like the idea.

George nods.
"I can understand, though you probably shouldn't drink anything you think is..."
He then frowns and rummages around for a tounge depresser.
"I'll need you to describe that in more detail later if possible but first, say 'ahhh'."

Shiro makes a face but obliges. After George is done with the tongue depresser, Shiro adds, "It tasted like medicine and Arachna's magic went wonky. I think it might be like that 'stimulant' the paper talked about, if my Nipponese is right."

"I guess that's what the...hmmm..."
He glances at his clock and abruptly face-palms.
"I knew I'd forgotten something."

Spoiler:

"What'd you forget?" Shiro tilts his head. "Can I help with anything?"

"You."
George points at Shiro.
"I was going to give you a check up when you woke up."
He takes a longer look at the clock.
"I guess it can wait until morning, after breakfast atleast, your condition shouldn't change too dramatically in that time."

"I hate going to the doctors." Shiro mumbles, glaring down at the ground. "..."

"Yeah... We'll meet at like noon-ish me and Melody did kinda set up for some type of odd job with some stallion." Zeela explains. "But totally we do need to help get you a phone asap... At least you'll be lucky enough to have a fellow Equestrian with yea to explain stuff you might ask."

"Ok, sounds good. Mind if I walk you mares home? It might be useful to actually know where each other's pads are." Brash replies.

Zeela nods. "That'd be nice... And quite geltcolt-ish of you."

Brash, a bit embarrassed, quickly asks, "So, where to first?"

Zeela tries to think about how far her place would be from here...
