Re: Discordian Promise
Compass nodded, reluctantly. "Okay... If you're sure your flock won't start chasing us then...lead the way."

Re: Discordian Promise
Dark Feathers nodded, and turned towards the tunnel.

- If there's anything else you need to do before leaving *coughMidascough* do it now
I figure that making the tunnel like that would take a bit longer that it takes to get the first shiny and come back

Re: Discordian Promise
Midas walked over to the still-stunned Hippocorvids again and took his element, tying it to his scarf. "I'm taking this back because it's mine and I didn't give it to you. But more than that, I'm taking it back because my friends need it. Maybe you can have it when they're all safe and I've seen Ruby again. But not right now."

Re: Discordian Promise
When Midas goes over to the altar, he sees that the Hippocorvid, a young one, had placed it into the carving of the wrench on the altar. And while it wasn't big enough to fill into the whole carving, it fit very well into the top part, the open end, with the handle still missing.
The young hippocorvid doesn't try to take it back, just saying quietly, "It's our shiny."

Re: Discordian Promise
Midas knelt down in front of the young one. "No, it's not. I had it first and you stole it from me. Do you know what stealing is?"

The child stared blankly. He doesn't seem familiar with the word.

Re: Discordian Promise
Midas cringes uncomfortably. "I'm really sorry you have to learn when you're still so little. See, I had this shiny first.. I came in with it and that makes it mine. Your grown ups came over and hurt me, and they took my shiny without asking. That's stealing and it's very bad. I would have asked to take it back, but they hurt me first and made it so I couldn't ask. And they tried to take my friend away too because she was shiny. And taking people is the worst kind of stealing there is. I need this to keep my friends safe so death doesn't steal them from me. But when they're safe, I could give it back to you. Only if you asked really nice though. Asking nice will always get you further than stealing because people will always give what they can. Does...does that make sense?"

Midas can see tears running down his face, but he nods.
Everyone else instead sees Dark Feathers watching, with a hard look in her eyes.

Re: Discordian Promise
Midas bit his own lower lip and his voice wibbled a bit. "It's gonna be okay, I promise. I know it's hard to know people you love a lot are takers, but people are really really good too. And-and here." he quickly pulled out another flask of acid and poured it over his whole front hoof, breaking off a shiny piece like he had done before. "This is a shiny that I'm giving to you, so you can have it. And if things get dark and scary you can hold it and things will be less scary. And if you want you can share it with the others, but its yours now."
Without another word, he limped back over to the party. It was clear his front hooves were hurting, but he didn't say a word.

Re: Discordian Promise
At this, Dark Feathers rushed forward. "ENOUGH!!" His leader's call stops the colt from taking the gift, causing him to freeze in place. The leader rushes forwards, standing at the colt's side. "We-have-already-had-enough-gifts" she said, almost spitting out the last word. "One-shiny-nearly destroyed-us-inside-so-you-give-us more. You.Can.Take.Your.Bucking.Shinies.And.Leave.Our.Home.Now." Every word she said is angry, but cold at the same time. She never once raises her voice.

Re: Discordian Promise
Midas glared down at the leader, his eyes very dark. "You have poison in your heart. I'm not gonna listen to you. You said you took it for good, but all its done is put all the first shiny's poison in you. And you're too full of take to even see it. I'm not leaving until all the poison is gone." he held up his newly injured hoof, which had some blood dribbling from it. "This red stuff is made of air. And you don't have enough. Nobody down here does. I'm gonna fix it and you're gonna stay out of my way."
With that, he shoved his hoof into Blackwing's chest, leaving some blood on her feathers before walking past.

Dark Feather glares at him and heads to the rest of the group. "Sooner-we-get-this-sooner-you-leave." she mutters. She heads towards the corridor she indicated before.

Re: Discordian Promise
Compass sidled up alongside Midas, offering the foal a shoulder to lean against in support.
She tried smiling in encouragement at him, since he looked like he might need it, especially after what the Hippocorvid leader said.
She hoped it covered her feelings about Midas claims of pony generosity.
"C'mon," she said aloud, trying to sound optimistic. "The sooner we take care of this, the sooner we can leave."
Her curiosity about the First Shiny was only a tiny part of that. Honest.

"Agreed." Sunlit Wave says shortly, making certain to stay between Midas and Darkfeathers.

Re: Discordian Promise
((How did I forget this!?))
Skitterbuzz had been busy rearranging her bees to ride on her coat for a while, like a big buzzing cape, to notice much of the conversation between Midas and the hippocorvids. As such, she showed no small amount of alarm at the fact that Midas was now missing a hoof.
"Midas! What happened to your leg!?" she asked in a shocked tone as she rejpined the group.

Midas leaned heavily against Compass and smiled mildly at Sunlit. He glanced at Skitterbuzz, then at Dark Feathers and shook his head. "I bucked up. That's all. I bucked up and I'm sorry, but I'm still too mad to be nice about it because things suck."

Re: Discordian Promise
Dark Feathers led the group down the hallway, not saying anything. Eventually, she led them to a small room off to the side of the corridor. At the center of the room was a small pool of water. But Dark Feathers didn't lead them to the pool. Instead, she pointed to a hole in the ground right next to the walls. Anyone who gets close to it can smell an unpleasant, but familiar odor.
"Inthere." Dark Feathers says shortly. She makes no move to retrieve it herself.

Midas limped over to the hole and knelt down beside it, lighting up his horn and sticking his head in to see what was below.

Re: Discordian Promise
Midas can see that the room they're in must be the Hippocorvid equivalent of a bathroom, with the hole being the toilet. Nothing shiny immediatly jumps out

"EW!" Midas scrambled backwards and shook his head. "Ew! Yuck yuck yuck!" After a moment of similar flipping out, Midas took a deep breath, held it and peered in again.
- Meta:
- Rolling perception.
Perception=5+roll=6=11
Someone else might wanna help. If not, Midas is just gonna say screw it and pour acid in the can.

Re: Discordian Promise
Midas can't see anything shiny. Dark Feathers barked a short laugh,while continuing to glare at Midas.

Re: Discordian Promise
- Spoiler:
- Now that's what I call polishing a turd! *drum crash*
Compass shot a quick look at Dark Feathers; honestly, she had been about to look for it herself before Midas did it.
Granted, she didn't think it would be in a hole in the ground, but still...
"Let me have a look," she said, stepping forward. The light bouncing off her crystal coat illuminated the area around the hole a little. She smiled, giving a nervous laugh.
"Wonders can be hard to find. Let the expert give you a hoof."
- Spoiler:
- Perception [8] + d20 [16] = 24.
If you're counting this as helping Midas... he gets +1 for Grandeur, and +1 from Dependable of Ponies.

- Honestly, you're better off treating this as a separate check, since your result was much higher than Midas's
Compass can juuuust see something sticking up out in the back of the hole. It is too far away for Compass to reach easily, though

Compass frowned, pointing at the lump.
"There. Can you see that? Do any of you think you could reach it?"

Midas cringed and reached in with his magic. "s'long as I don't gotta touch it I guess."
