"Of course.'My Lord' should never be without his crown."Necrar says, mock bowing before moving away to make room for Snipe to exit.

**LoganAura** Wed Jun 26, 2013 5:50 pm

Snipe makes a small face at the "My Lord" Comment, but lets it slide. He doesn't reeeeallly want Necrar to think... "So, let's keep looking. Big guy?" Snipe hops onto the construct again. "Where's our friend?"

**Paper Shadow** Wed Jun 26, 2013 5:53 pm

The construct begins to circle the rest of the crates around the small one you just exited and stops in front of a much larger crate...

**LoganAura** Wed Jun 26, 2013 5:55 pm

Snipe decides to 'have fun' being the king... To keep things hidden. "Sir Necrar! Open this crate."

Colter Bolt Wed Jun 26, 2013 6:33 pm

Necrar stands up straight, looking Snipe in the eyes. "Necrar? The Banished One? I'm insulted to be called by his name. I am a different being. But, nevertheless, as 'My Lord' commands." Necrar opens the lid of the crate with his ponykinesis.

(Anyone who heard Necrar can roll Perception. Also, the only way Snipe (and Aces, if he decides he heard that) will fail this roll is if he gets a Natural One, due to his high Perception. Just a heads up...)

You lift the lid to see an unconscious Sparks inside...

**LoganAura** Wed Jun 26, 2013 6:53 pm

Snipe glances at Necrar, blinking. "... All right then. Who are you then if you're not Necrar." It should be noted Snipe's turned off the telepathy now.

Aces simply raised his eyebrow as he entered the room completely. "Need some help there, no' Necrar?"

Colter Bolt Wed Jun 26, 2013 7:26 pm

"Well, I guess that teaches me not to underestimate ponies just because they're dumb in other dimensions."Necrar says, slipping into the voice the others are more familiar with. "Though it does make sense the sniper and the gambler see right through me. Anyways, yes, some help would be appreciated. Sparks is taking a little nap in here."

**LoganAura** Wed Jun 26, 2013 7:28 pm

Snipe hops onto the construct, and fiddles in his bag. "Let's see... I have something... Ah!" Snipe tosses a small rock that he uses for his slingshot at Sleeping Beauty/Spark's head.

(If Sparks wants to "sleep" through this, I'm going to need an Endurance roll, but if you want to move things forward, you can wake up if you want to...)

A few moments after being hit by the rock Sparks rather groggily gets up. "Er where am I? What in the world just happened? Why is there a skeleton walking around!? Why am I in a box?"

Colter Bolt Thu Jun 27, 2013 3:22 pm

"Hello Sparks. It's me, Necrar. You're on a boat the thieves were going to use to ship the items they stole from the museum. From what I've heard from a thief earlier, you put on a crown with a demon used as an enchantment. It probably had control of your body for some time." Necrar says, letting one red eye-light scan over Sparks.

You sense powerful possession magic, similar to what you once had long ago, but it currently lies dormant, as if it is allowing the creature it is possessing to keep control...

"Looks like you're doing well now." Necrar says, moving back a bit. "If you want to talk about it, come over to the graveyard."

tygerburningbright Thu Jun 27, 2013 8:49 pm

"Ok... weird... well then let's get out of this place then." With that Sparks climbs out of the box and follows whoever makes a motion to leave first.

**Paper Shadow** Fri Jun 28, 2013 4:12 pm

With the group together once more, you all head off the boat and do whatever you do, criminals in tow. Necrar splits from the party so he can "get out of his costume", but everyone else does stuff. You lead the criminals into the hooves of justice, return the crown and other treasures to the museum, and carry your night as normal, or as normal as it could be...

(Episode End)

It's Nightmare Night. The streets are filled with ponies in a wide range of different costumes, although common, expected costumes are seen a good amount of times. The guards among you have been given the night off (unless they really insist that they want to work). What are you doing?

Colter Bolt Fri Jun 28, 2013 4:26 pm

Necrar attempts to walk over to the haunted house Mind Games was setting up, humming a little tune as he goes along in his skeletal form.

Aces finished attaching the hook to - rather, in - his metal arm, tapping it experimentally against the ground a couple times. A bit uncomfortable, but not cumbersome. Standard Nightmare Night costume feel, then. A quick grin he didn't really feel into the mirror, a slight adjustment of his ridiculous (but necessary) hat, a brush of overly-fancy sleeve, and Aces sighed a little. "Yo ho," he said, the barest hint of mirth at the edge of his voice.

And so Aces the Pirate headed out to enjoy Nightmare Night.

**LoganAura** Fri Jun 28, 2013 11:48 pm

Snipe the bag-pony whistles from his perch at the top of the city, every so often trying to locate stuff for the construct and talking to it as though the pony from the crown was listening. "I have to say, this guy's actually really awesome." Snipe walks around, poking and proding at it. "I've needed to get a LOT of debris from busted houses but using this guy as a clean up thing has been beneficial. So!" Snipe sits his gun down and looks at the construct--Snipe having spent whatever money he had been given to make the construct look like frankenpony's monster... If crown-pony had let him do so. "I've still got nothing for any sort of deal between us, friend, but I do have a small idea. I don't want to be as... Fragile I guess you could say. What would you get if I asked you to make me tougher? As in, what would I have to give you?"

You find the haunted house in one of the housing districts. It's a three story mansion made of old wood and looks like it is falling into pieces. There's a somewhat large queue into the house, with a ticket seller at the doors. As you arrive, you see a small group of ponies running from house, looking scared out of their wits, before slowing down to catch their breath and begin laughing to each other...

The streets are alive with the sound of ~~music~~ ponies enjoying the festivities. Main Street has been fully decked out with "spooky" decorations, and many different booths, varying from pop-up shops, games, and other things you'd expect from Nightmare Night celebrations. There's even a pony doing face painting for the little foals, although there aren't that many foals in Saint-Trotez, so she isn't really busy. Is there any particular festivity Aces is looking for?

(Crown Pony does indeed let you decorate the construct as Frankenpony's Monster, but I will ask if you wish to give the construct a name...)

"Depends on what you mean by being less fragile," the whisper in your head state. "Do you wish to become a stallion, with mind and body strong? Do you desire protection, so swords and daggers bounce off your skin? Or do you hope for brawn, muscles to break things you couldn't break before?"

"Also, I presume 'Complete and Utter Devotion' is too much of a cost, correct?"

Sparks pauses in his random wandering of the city trying ,an attempt take in as much as possible, a sudden feeling coming from his gut. He then comes to a full stop in order to think of the best way to say something to Varesh eventually settling on what was the very first thing to came to mind. "There is no real good way to say this and I have no clue what you are currently trying to do but I feel like I should either be kinda jokingly calling you a big softy at heart or trying to shame you for being too overt..."

OOC if you hadn't noticed I am horrible at free form...

(That's okay. I'm just trying different things to see what people like, and this way simulated regular life in Saint-Trotez rather well. I'll avoid putting you in free situations in the future...)

Varesh begins to appear in front of you, and being in the spirit of Nightmare Night, is dressed up as your marefriend, if your marefriend was an animated corpse. Needless to say, you don't appreciate the costume. "Sorry, could you repeat that?" asks the mare with a cheeky grin...

**LoganAura** Sat Jun 29, 2013 11:48 pm

((Snipe will call the construct Struck for simplicities sake))

"Hm..." Snipe taps his chin, fidgeting with a few portions of the Frankenpony outfit before looking at Struck in the eyes. "And actually? It would be too little, because I'm already completely devoted to anypony I consider a friend, even if you don't, though I'm guessing your idea of "Complete and utter Devotion" is more "I become your eternal servant" or the like, which yeah would be a little much for just one little thing. Add in the fact that all three of them are a bit much: I'm fine being a kid, and I'm a Pegasus sniper, not an earth pony farmer, so brawn would not be the best thing... Though just being resistant to blows rather than a full on deflection is more what I want."
