"That's quite okay," the mayor replies as he slowly makes his way to the centre of the room, where the display is covered by a red velvet cloak, saying hello to any pony that greets him...

Stanza nods to your whisper, and flies up to Storm Blade and whispers "Sparky thinks the pony watchin' us is a dark red pegasus in the treasure room." He then moves to Signal Look to say the same thing...

All you know about The Feathers is that they are some group in Saint-Trotez. Also, feathers are those things which can be found on birds and the wings of pegasus ponies...

"While you think about that, could you tell me where are you staying in Saint-Trotez?"

Colter Bolt Wed May 22, 2013 10:00 am

"The graveyard." Necrar says flatly. "As for the Feathers, all I know is that they are in Saint-Trotez."

Storm Blade nodded at this, and for a few moments stayed in the Main Hall, scanning the area. However, he was looking out for said pegasus in case he moved to the Main hall, then moved to the treasure room casually. Just scanning the room once again, through keeping an eye out for the pegasus.

Since you know who you are looking for, you find the pegasus in the Treasure Room, in the middle of a crowd that circles the Mayor...

"Ladies and Gentlecolts," the Mayor announces to the room, and to every pony else who can hear, as he levitates his glasses onto his face and a piece of paper in front of him. Sparks, as you are at his side, you can see that the paper has a speech written on it. "First of all, I wish to thank all of you for coming here this lovely night. We've made a lot of money with the tickets sold, and that money will go to helping both the museum and many other great causes." The room politely claps, or whatever it is posh ponies do...

Snipe fidgets in his perch, wing on his gun though no bullets are loaded just yet, ready in case something needs him to shoot, though not really hoping for it.

tygerburningbright Wed May 22, 2013 6:09 pm

Sparks stoically listens to the speech and keeps an eye open for any activity in the crowd.

Whilst everypony else is clapping, Aces has another hunch - this time, hopefully, a more accurate one. "Do you think these Feathers migh' be aiming for the ticke' money?" he asks the seat next door, presuming that Splash Control hasn't left it.

(Wait, what? Your at a small, amuatar theature. We are at a museum. Why would Aces know about everypony clapping?)

Colter Bolt Wed May 22, 2013 9:04 pm

"Now, I have a question for you two." Necrar says, becoming more serious. "Do either of you two know of some... Strange object coming to Saint-Trotez recently? If it has a name, It'd be something foreboding."

(With the same psychic powers that he used to take down timberwolves, obviously...)

Besides the clapping and whatnot, you don't see anything noticeable...

"Second, I would like to give extra thanks to the hard-working museum staff and caterers that the museum hired for this event, and the Eurclope Guards also here tonight, for doing wonderful work which we will appreciate throughout the night." This comes with another round of polite applause. "Now, without further ado, I wish to present to you an artifact which was long thought to be just a myth. A story to warn us about forcing power into the hooves of the unprepared. Ladies and gentlecolts, behold the Lost Crown of King Solitude." On that note, he levitates the red cloth off of the centrepiece, revealing a crown in a glass case and ontop a pedestal, which has an information plaque attached to it. The crown itself, well, let's just say it hasn't aged well. It's very rusty, and any vibrant colours it might of had have since faded away. Even the large ruby on the front of the crown could use a good clean. Still, the crown receives some applause of its own...

Not specifically. You've heard some ponies from the shipyard talk about having to move some shipments to the museum, but that's the best idea you have about items being brought into town. You haven't heard about anypony smuggling something like the Manic Mask of Mass Murder or something among those lines...

"Not really," replies Splash Control...

AProcrastinatingWriter Wed May 22, 2013 10:01 pm

"Like the town museum, maybe?" Aces interjects. "Or no' tha' highbrow?"

Colter Bolt Wed May 22, 2013 10:10 pm

"Eh, might as well try it." Necrar says, standing up. "Better do it fast too. These things usually disappear into the wrong han- er, hooves. Would you two mind accompanying me?" Necrar takes a quick sniff "And do I smell like rot to you?"

Fury of the Tempest Wed May 22, 2013 10:39 pm

Storm Blade kept watch on the crowd also, but he also kept an eye on the pegasus. Through he tried not to look at him directly, instead he just kept an eye on the area that he was in. Still, unless he looked directly at him while he was watching the crowd - which would give him away - the guard doubted that he knew he was being watched.

Aces takes a quick sniff. He pauses, then turns and begins walking out. "More like peaches, to be hones'," he says, sounding a bit stunned by that revelation himself.

Colter Bolt Wed May 22, 2013 11:44 pm

"Peaches, huh?" Necrar asks, bewildered, as he follows Aces. "That's definitely a new one."

**Paper Shadow** Thu May 23, 2013 8:00 am

"What, how do you plan on getting in if there's a high-class event going on?"

Fury of the Tempest wrote:
Spoiler:

You still see the pegasus. He, like all the other ponies in the room, is looking at the crown, although he doesn't look too impressed with it. He looks around for the guards again, and while he does see you looking at the crowd of ponies, he doesn't notice you looking at him specifically...

Shortly afterwards, you hear a noise that sounds like a distant but large explosion, and feel the place shake slightly. The ponies in the museum start to panic slightly, and begin rushing outside to see what happened...

In the amateur theatre, the noise and shaking can also be felt there. Splash Control holds onto his seat as the shaking starts, and looks to the other two ponies there...

Colter Bolt Thu May 23, 2013 8:11 am

"If the item is being held in the museum, then that explosion is how we're getting in" Necrar says, recovering his balance. "Besides, you'd be surprise just how high class I am."

Fury of the Tempest Thu May 23, 2013 10:16 am

"Knew that something was going to happen." Storm Blade muttered when he heard the the explosion, and ponies began to rush outside to see what was going on. However, he didn't do anything right away, he double-checked what the pegasus was doing, before saying. "Sparks, stay here and protect the crown!" While glancing at the red pegasus, hoping that Sparks knew what he was really talking about before turning and flying outside to investigate ASAP

AProcrastinatingWriter Thu May 23, 2013 3:22 pm

"There goes my sho' a' getting in tha' tournamen'," Aces murmured as he stood and began sprinting for the exit. He called back: "Museum or no', wherever tha' wen' off is going to be really obvious!"

Colter Bolt Thu May 23, 2013 6:56 pm

Necrar sprints after Aces.

**Paper Shadow** Thu May 23, 2013 7:05 pm

For those of you leaving whatever building you are in, you see that is it pretty obvious that the target of the explosion is a bank on Main Street. Smoke pours from the top of the building and joins the clouds, which are still pretty low tonight...

Colter Bolt Thu May 23, 2013 7:11 pm

"Ah, not the museum." Necrar says, coming to a stop. "I'm sure the authorities can handle a simple bank robbery."

**LoganAura** Thu May 23, 2013 7:12 pm

Snipe jumps from his perch, catching his gun on his wing and rapidly flying out to see the smoke. He dashes as fast as he can to the smoking building, staying high above.

"Can' be tha' simple or else news wouldn' be all over the underworld abou' this job," Aces says in a normal tone of voice he manages to make sound like a murmur. Then, somewhat awkwardly thanks to his leg, he begins running towards the smoke.
