"There were two ponies on the TV just before we came in - they might be the ones." responds Tilt, looking towards the tower, racking her brains for context. "And if so, we may not have a choice in the matter."

She pauses, and looks at the projection of Arcana.

"Hey... Arcana, would you prefer if we retired to your room to talk? Either way, I was wondering - doe this have anything to do with us messing up with Star Power?"

"...So I wasn't the only one who saw those two on the Midnight Channel before we came in" Melody noted, thinking. "If the point of dragging others in here is to get the Shadows strong enough to break through to our side, then...I figure it's no coincidence...But a tower, huh? I didn't think villain-types actually did that..." She looked thoughtful for a moment, pacing about, worried about what it implied if them just appearing on the TV had caused a big enough spike in magic to be noticeable at all from this distance...She wasn't the best with magic, but it seemed major...

"Hm. Could you describe the two ponies? As for the questions, I would prefer to remain here, and it might simply have been a push, this sort of occurence seems inevitable."

"An Earth Pony and a Pegasus, replies Tilt, working the gears in her head. "I didn't recognise either of them."

"Do you see anypony's shadows about?"

**LoganAura** Mon Apr 15, 2013 2:08 am

"Hm.... No, but there is a large surge of magic, almost like something wants to form, but doesn't quite have the energy to."

Xel Unknown Mon Apr 15, 2013 2:10 am

"Well... Pitty the ponies you saw couldn't have been Brash and My shadows..." Zeela comments with a sigh. "Then again if you didn't get a good look... Maybe we'll be lucky and they were..."

Caden2112 Mon Apr 15, 2013 2:41 am

"Right...Uhm...Anyway, if that's the case, we've got a little time before the shadows form...I guess we should try and use it wisely in any event...Right?" Melody yawned as she finished that though...She wasn't sure she could take this turning into a night-time occurrence just yet...

**Pingcode** Mon Apr 15, 2013 2:41 am

"Wrong sex for that to be the case, anyway." comes Tilt's idle reply.

"So, what's the plan for tonight, then? Training session?"

Xel Unknown Mon Apr 15, 2013 2:49 am

Zeela giggles right now thinking of what a genderbent versions of Brash and herself would look like. "Yeah... Personally I'd be game for some combat trainin'... Unless there is something like trying to scout this evil tower of doom we'll be eventually attacking head on... Mmm... Maybe doing that could be trainin'..."

George speaks up.
"So this tower has only been here since this evening?"

"The surge of magic that brought it has been around for the last few days, but yes, only since this evening has the tower appeared"

Xel Unknown Mon Apr 15, 2013 1:27 pm

"I"m still thinking we try some type of Scouting Mission... Odds are it'd be good to help improve our skills and might help us learn more about our mystery enemies." Zeela suggests.

RavenscroftRaven Mon Apr 15, 2013 3:55 pm

"Brief scouting, and careful. Each big shadow has been quite powerful, we do not want to end up fighting a bunch of them at once." Icing looked around the area, sizing things up. Ever since going through the TVs, he had his tempsona card in-hand.

Doc pseudopolis Mon Apr 15, 2013 5:09 pm

"I agree. Whoever or whatever made that tower, even if it took advantage of pre-existing phenomena, has to be powerful."

Xel Unknown Mon Apr 15, 2013 5:16 pm

"Yeah... No way we'd be able to fight anything near that place... But the stealthy of us might be able to figure out some new data to help assist us." Zeela comments.

Caden2112 Mon Apr 15, 2013 7:48 pm

Melody sighed a bit. "You really wanna go for it, huh...? I dunno how useful I'll be, but I guess I can try...B-But, seems like a really bad idea if you ask me..." She trailed off, thinking for a moment about how they would be able to get in...She wasn't entirely sure that the Shadows would be so easily fooled by her talents...She was...decent enough at remaining unseen, or at least so she thought.

Xel Unknown Mon Apr 15, 2013 8:12 pm

"Well... I don't like the idea of oh, we learn of a real possible enemy of ours, it's got an evil tower of doom... Nope, can't do anything about it. So I feel we gotta at lest TRY once to learn more." Zeela said with a sigh.

Ramsus Mon Apr 15, 2013 8:15 pm

Brash briefly tries and recalls the approximate stealthitude of the others and quickly concocts a plan that will capitalize on the team's capabilities and temperaments. "Right, I'll be back in a bit, you mares wait here." he says in summary as he flies off to the tower, diminishing the noise and light of his rocket boots and trying to stay out of the line of sight of any possible viewports or windows.

Stealth: 10 + 16 = 26

If needed, Acrobatics to get their quickly to diminish the chances of being seen: 16 + 16 or 14 = 32

**LoganAura** Mon Apr 15, 2013 8:17 pm

Brash doesn't seem to attract the attention of the shadows, however he can't get too close to the tower no matter how fast he moves.

Ramsus Mon Apr 15, 2013 8:19 pm

Arcana check to know what's up with that: 11 + 3 = lol Derp

RavenscroftRaven Tue Apr 16, 2013 4:15 am

"It is probably an abstract concept of an evil tower, if everything is representational." Icing theorizes. He had been considering this on his own shadow's possibilities, but the learning applied across the entire realm. "Like how Star felt his life was a carnival and so a carnival appeared, and Whitey wished for a normal childhood and got a schoolyard. Somepony, or someone, fancies themselves a villain, and a villain must have their tower."

He shrugs. "I do not think that helps at all, simply something I was thinking about. I doubt we could climb it in seven minutes, so we need to be strong enough to deal with this thing Whitey feared when we first met him."

**Pingcode** Tue Apr 16, 2013 12:02 pm

"No, no, I think you're on to something here. I don't think it's necessarily somepony that likes to think they're a villain, but I think the tower is important. Whoever made this looks down on other ponies," adds Tilt, pondering the question herself, "It could be worth looking into, it might give us some clues. Anyway, there's no harm in pushing ourselves if we'd like to give it a try - though I wouldn't mind trying out my new magic on a practice run first."

**LoganAura** Tue Apr 16, 2013 2:44 pm

Brash's attempt to learn about the magic only proceeds to give him a splitting migraine.

Ramsus Tue Apr 16, 2013 2:46 pm

Brash squints in pain while he flies back to the group and says, "No good. Can't get close to it somehow."

Caden2112 Tue Apr 16, 2013 3:15 pm

"Odd...I wonder what's up with that?" Melody looked at Brash for a moment, concerned. "Well, I guess that means checking it out's a bust for now, at least...Any other plans? Maybe we can revisit the carnival...We went through there at kind of a quick pace, last time..." She tilted her head, trying to puzzle the situation out for now.
