"Silver Lining! We have a calamity, a catastrophe, and a big problem. A real crime has happened and they're locking down the area. Any ideas?"

**Paper Shadow** Thu May 29, 2014 12:42 am

"Oh." Well, Silver chose a bad time to arrive. "Well, what happened?"

Yuna had been enjoying the rather foalish show but she gapes at the fact that an actual crime was so blatantly committed in the middle of such a crowd. After manage to collect her wits jumps down from the rooftop and tries to make her way over to the victim to see if there was anything that could be done for him and if there were any real signs of the crime obviously present.

"I can't see from where I am but my guess is that it's a murder. You wouldn't happen to know and officers that might be nearby, would you?"

If you're truly insistent on paying for these, do a good deed for someone you've never met in, let's say, the next week. It's a big-ish city, it shouldn't be too hard to do. Now if we've sorted that out, please come recollect your money."

"Her own bed, you said. Joy. You wouldn't happen to know how to get to 145 Cedar Court, would you?"

"Oh." A young mare says, as she shyly begins scooping up some bits she placed earlier. "...Uh, I know where that is. Right down the street from my place I think." Cobalt takes a glance back at where her laundry is waiting, and then to the unconscious pony. "Is she gonna be ok?"

sunbeam Sun Jun 01, 2014 2:00 pm

"According to the doctor, she's just fine. And considering I just dragged her out of a grove of brambles and she doesn't have a scratch on her, I'd say she's better than fine." Wanderlust replies, finishing one last sandwich before he started packing his saddlebags. "When will you be ready to leave?"

A1C Bronymous Sun Jun 01, 2014 6:59 pm

A dryer dings, finished, and Cobalt turns around. "Just a minute." She runs over and pulls the few pieces of odd looking clothing out. She throws them in a bag and draws the strings, then slings it over her back and returns to the two Ponies. "I'm ready. This way." She walks out the door and waits for the other two before setting off down the street.

sunbeam Sun Jun 01, 2014 7:31 pm

Wanderlust shrugs into his saddlebags, then carefully lifts River onto his back once more and follows the mare down the street. "So what's your name?" he asks, moving slower than normal because of the added weight.

A1C Bronymous Sun Jun 01, 2014 7:52 pm

"I'm Cobalt. Sometimes I go by Cobalt Blue, or Cobalt Steel or something, but really my name's just Cobalt. My parents weren't very imaginative." She traces a hoof through her hair, demonstrating her point. "What about you and your...friend?"

sunbeam Sun Jun 01, 2014 10:13 pm

"I'm Wanderlust. Don't you already know her name?" Wanderlust says, jerking his head back to indicate River.

A1C Bronymous Sun Jun 01, 2014 10:24 pm

"Uh... no? Should I?" Cobalt takes a look at her again. "Is she famous, or like well known? I don't know that many ponies here, outside of work."

Am I supposed to know her?

sunbeam Sun Jun 01, 2014 10:43 pm

"Don't worry, you shouldn't. I probably shouldn't tell you her name, honestly. Last time somebody used her name before she told it to them, she tackled them." Wanderlust squints at Cobalt's Cutie Mark before saying "So what do you...do, exactly? Your Cutie Mark is rather inscrutable."

A1C Bronymous Sun Jun 01, 2014 10:48 pm

"Depends on who you are and when and where you ask me. If you happen to be cute Stallion or Mare in a bar at 1 am, it's because I'm so skilled with my tongue it's like I have 4 of them." She gives Wanderlust a wink and a smirk, then coughs. "But if you were to meet me professionally, at school, or after i just finished my laundry, then I would tell you Kan shettso Arramakyen dov terbul. Shanesukwo." She smirks again. "I'm VERY good with languages."

sunbeam Sun Jun 01, 2014 10:59 pm

Wanderlust raises an eyebrow and a half smile at the first half of the statement. "That almost made sense, pre-translation. So what do you do with your language skills? It doesn't seem like a growing field in a city like this."

A1C Bronymous Sun Jun 01, 2014 11:30 pm

"Not at all. Which is good, because growing business means competition. I work part time at the school library, and sometimes I contract to businesses as a translator.... though not often. Too many creatures speak Equestrian these days. I wanted to be in the Guard, but that never really went through..." She trails off, unsure of where to take the conversation. She turns a corner and then says. "So what about you? What do you do, besides look after unconscious mares and make sandwiches?"

sunbeam Sun Jun 01, 2014 11:53 pm

Wanderlust shrugs as best he can. "I wander, mostly. This is actually my first time in a modern city in a few months. Everything feels a little off right now."

A1C Bronymous Mon Jun 02, 2014 12:48 am

"Oh, that's...cool." Cobalt comes to a stop in front of a building. "Let me see, this is my building, so the one you want should be..." Cobalt continues down the street, looking back and forth at the buildings.

Streetwise, to find the right apartment.

Cobalt manages to narrow it down to a (very small) block in the area, though finding the right house will have to come down to either a lucky guess or some time taken looking at each house's individual address.

((If I forgot about the other group let me know?))

sunbeam Mon Jun 02, 2014 6:48 pm

"This is far closer than I ever would have gotten on my own." Wanderlust comments, following Cobalt down the street and noting the numbers on the houses.

"The police station is a five minutes walk from here."

ZamuelNow Wed Jun 04, 2014 12:02 am

"That should do. One moment." Beams Brightly motioned for the attendant. "Miss? My friend can run to alert the authorities while I can help with the diversion, subterfuge, and trickery to calm down the crowd."

Copper Rose Fri Jun 06, 2014 2:18 am

Yuna Rolls:

Yuna manages to safely jump off the building, but when she gets to the victim she finds that the stabber hit a major artery, and the stallion bled out in seconds. Looking at the knife used (still in the side of the pony), it seems to be the kind preferred by unicorns.

"Oh, thank Celestia! We definitely cannot contain this crowd on our own for long, and- hey!" A pony dressed as More Arty bursts out of the crowd, and the actor tries to run after, but collapses and clutches a leg. "AH! Stupid shin splints! Buck!"

When Wanderlust knocks on the door, he hears a scuttering form inside, and then silence.

A1C Bronymous Fri Jun 06, 2014 2:28 am

Cobalt waits a little ways behind Wanderlust. "Uh... If it's her house, then who are you expecting to answer the door? Husband, parents?" She may have been just being nosy at this point, but Cobalt knew that whenever you see someone to their house, you always make sure they get inside ok. So she waits, looking around at the house casually, shifting her laundry bag from one shoulder to the other.

Perception on the house- anything unusual like a broken window, hole in the wall, spaceship on the roof, etc.

sunbeam Fri Jun 06, 2014 5:57 pm

"Roommates." Wanderlust replies, tilting his head a little at the odd sound. "One of them is the mare she tackled that I mentioned earlier. I don't really know much about them, but they didn't seem that peculiar." He pauses for a moment, then moves to the nearest window hoping to see something through a curtain or the blinds.

After recovering from a moment of shock Yuna immediately starts running after the fleeing pony. "Why are you running!?"
