River tilted her head slightly in confusion, continuing in her best impression of the soothing voice her friends had used all day. "It's okay," she reassured, first. She moved in closer, slowly and gingerly wrapping a hoof around his neck and shoulders the same way Wanderlust and Cobalt had. "Tell me what hurts, I'll make it better..."

Re: Mystery Ahoof
Wanderlust notices that the outside of the bar is significantly larger than the inside. There is also no sign of River out here.
Suddenly half the ponies in the bar are up at and on the bar partying and drinking shots with Cobalt, all of them becoming hyper and energetic to extremes only Cobalt has seen.
The stallion looks deep into River's eyes, momentarily seeming to feel relief, before his eyes widen and a glow from his horn that was unnoticeable before - it wasn't there when River came in - disappears. "YOU! It- it- it- you!" He seems to try to cast another spell, but this one seems to backfire and the stallion catches aflame, turning him into a purple bug pony. "I don't need all of them anymore - you alone can feed all of us!" This comes out in a strange, completely unequine voice, more like an insect buzz that sounds like words. The bug pony suddenly leaps at River (DC 28 Athletics/Acrobatics to avoid being pinned down).

Re: Mystery Ahoof
Wanderlust slows down for a moment, stretching his hooves to try and bracket the section of the bar that wasn't visible inside. "Nowindowsnodoorsbrickwall." He reels off frustratedly. Then he grins, and pulls out his spiked horseshoes. "Onewayforward!" He says cheerfully, rearing upwards and scrabbling for hoofholds on the wall of the bar.

Re: Mystery Ahoof
River's eyes locked on as she backed up. All day she had been frightened; but now, faced with a very real threat, she became cold and calculating. She saw the way he leaped, his form as he flew towards her... There! Below the chin was an opening. She felt herself breathing in as her body spun unbidden. Her rear hooves cocked back. Breath out... And kick!

Re: Mystery Ahoof
Cobalt is absolutely lost amongst the hyperactive partiers. One second she's knocking back a shot, the next she's kissing the bartender again, the next she's just fallen off a pony's back and is laying on the floor in a puddle of alcohol. "I'MSOHAPPYYYYYYYYYWECAMEHERTODAY!ILOVEALLOFYOUSOMUCH!" She practically vibrates off the floor and spins in a circle, giving everyone within reach a quick peck on the lips.

Re: Mystery Ahoof
The roof is a bland white and appears to be made of sheets of wood, and there are no clues as to what could be underneath it.
The bug pony's eyes open wide in surprise as it flies back from River's kick, but he quickly recovers. "Looks like we're going to have to do this the hard way..." (roll initiative)
Suddenly a not-hyper earth pony appears at Cobalt's side, scared and confused. She recognizes him as one of her friends that she has come here with before, many times. With the rest of their friends, of course. "What the buck is going on here!?"

Re: Mystery Ahoof
Wanderlust dashes over to the edge of the roof, using the light from the door to check his position and make certain he was over the missing portion of the building. He rears up, then abruptly sits down. "Thisisanawfulidea." He says. "Acrazyidea. Theworstidea." He looks down at his claw clad hooves, and the wood beneath them. "...River'sinthere. It'stheonlyidea." He admits, grudgingly, and then he falls the wood, tearing at it with his clawed horseshoes, occasionally just stomping the wood as hard as he can to try and break through.

River turned back around as she took a ready stance. She could feel her mind and body melding unbidden; emotions went flat as a well tuned part of her mind took over...

Re: Mystery Ahoof
Wanderlust successfully breaks through the roof and falls next to River, on his hooves and unscathed, somehow. He looks up just in time to see a changeling grab a chair and swing it at River (2 damage).
"Right... uh, Cobalt, how would you feel about taking a walk down to the pier with me?"

I figure considering the circuit she did she's had a fair amount more in a short time than most of the other patrons, and whatever it is probably eventually has some negative side effects.

Re: Mystery Ahoof
River spun out of the way as the chair came down. She looked up; there was Wanderlust attacking with... A wooden knife!? But if she was surprised, it didn't show as she calmly continued analyzing the changeling's rythym. She was a dancer, after all. This was just a dance. She could wait a moment longer...

"I'm not quite sure what you mean. I've already asked Whisper about it, and if the real Wild Cherry did the crime, she obviously isn't going to tell the truth. So, I guess I'll help out with trying to figure out which one is which." With that, Silver moves forward.

Re: Mystery Ahoof
"Hello~" All three mares respond at once.
"Aaugh!" The changeling's eye twitches, and a strange glow passes over them. "My hive is already on it's way. You have no hope to escape. Give up now and we'll let your little boyfriend here live." (Saved on the Weakened/Ongoing 5)
Cobalt feels something go snap in her brain, and she feels her sane mind return to her - sort of. Suddenly everything she does, if it is walking she has to do so backwards, and anything else she has to do with her eyes closed. She also seems to no longer remember how to speak any language that the ponies here would reasonably understand. "Uh- Cobalt, are you okay?"

Re: Mystery Ahoof
River didn't register the changeling's threat. Or anything else he said. All she saw was her moment to attack. She lept into the air, coming down with four attacks simultaneaously...
Her fore-left came down on the spine, breaking his back with a loud crack.
Her fore-right came down on the base of the neck, producing another crack.
Her rear-hooves hit the back of his skull with a sickening crunch.
Finally, the rest of her weight came down on a very punished body. It would take a miracle for him to stand; if he did, could he attack something on his back?

Wanderlust rears back as River lands on the changeling, but quickly regains his footing and knocks the changeling's back hooves apart, spreading his legs painfully wide (especially with a pony's weight on top of him).

The mare on the right steps forward and brings her face close to Silver's. "Come on now, can't we just ditch this place and go have some fun?"
The changeling sprawls out and lets out a breathless gasp. It's horn glows, then suddenly River feels herself grow weaker (-3 PiPs or 9 damage) and Wanderlust loses practically all of his energy (-6 PiPs or 18 damage). "You're connected to the hive now... good luck. You'll need it." The changeling then collapses, life draining from its eyes.
Everypony in the bar suddenly drops in energy level, to the point that they may as well be asleep. River herself can almost feel the presence of another mind near her own, similar to River speaking to her telepathically but more like a bug buzzing in her ear.

Wanderlust turns towards River and takes a step forward before he collapses, breathing heavily. Slowly, he picks himself up, returning his knife to its sheath, and says "He said what was on its way? We should leave."

Re: Mystery Ahoof
Cobalt barely has time to work out what's happening to her before she crashes- HARD. Immediately aware of how intoxicated she is, she feels like she's been hit with an elephant tranquilizer. Tired, hungry, and coming down so quickly off her hyperactive high, she sways in place. "Wha....what's going...on?" She falls to the floor at her friend's hooves. "I feel so... bad... make it go away..." She clings to him like a child, drunkenly sobbing.

River doesn't register Wandwrlust immediately, standing over the dead, crumpled changeling, panting slightly.
"I... Did I do... I killed someone..."

Wanderlust snorts. "I doubt it. Bugs are far tougher than that. We should really leave." He pricks up an ear, commenting "No more commotion," before pulling River over to the bar-side wall. He takes her hoof in his and experimentally presses them both up against the wall.
