The Sun Sets

Sunburst:
After a moment, you hear hoofsteps, and the door unlocks and opens. Quick Fix and Juniper walk in, closing the door behind them. Juniper holds a small notepad and pen, and takes a seat. Quick Fix walks over to you. "Still bleeding? That's not optimal." A scribble on the pad from Juniper. "Please sit on the table. I can't have you lying back while you're bleeding, but should be able to press on." He takes a seat on the stool. "Now, are you ready? I'm going to examine you, so please don't be nervous."

Storm:
As the others leave, you put the final touches to your mixture. Stirring it together, the bits dissolve, and the fluid turns a musty pink. You're confident that this is the elusive cure you've been after.

Storm stares at the precious fluid lying before him.  'It's finally done.' he thinks to himself.  'Now to test.'

Storm prepares a slide with a small drop of his blood on it along with a small bit of the cure, and looks at it under the microscrope.

OOC: What does he see, and how many potential doses of the cure are there in the vial?

Bells sighs. "Time for Pan 2. Do you have a pen and paper I may borrow?" Upon receiving such, she scribbles down a note and rolls it up, making it disappear in a puff of cold air. (Using Spike, Take A Letter, sending to Cobalt)

Note:

"Now we should go to meet Cobalt, and hopefully find the colt." Bells says, turning to go, but turning back around to look at the doctor. "Why do you give me such a look?"

Sleuth:
Your sudden struggling throws the surprised Pegasus off of you, accidentally headbutting him. The guards see this, and they both lunge at you, the larger guard grabbing him, the mare grabbing you and putting you into another hold. "You're both coming with us." She says calmly, as the stallion wrestles the other Pegasus to the ground.

Storm:
You watch the cure react with your infected blood. The infected cells begin to boil, growing misshapen as the toxin is removed. It's uncertain how uncomfortable, if at all, the process would be, but eventually the reaction settles, and the clean cells remain. However, most of the sample of the antidote you mixed with the blood has effectively disappeared. There may only be enough for one, maybe two full doses.

Sunburst most definitely IS nervous.  She tenses up and nods, her sight darting between Quick Fix and Juniper (more so on Quick Fix).  she moves the bowl out of the way but still in arm's reach and sits on the bed. Its just a doctor's exam... she tells herself, not really believing it.  Her wings twitch a little.

Penned, thinking that picking a fight with the guards probably isn't the best idea, so he lets the guards take him in.

Gearick:
Cobalt frowns. "I won't lie, I suspected payment like this might have a nefarious purpose. Unfortunately, unless he's blackmailed you already, or you have evidence of his intent... For now it was a deal you willingly made, yes? The simplest thing would be to just hand it over, and if you don't want-" Cobalt is cut off by a chill as a piece of paper materializes in the air in front of him, cold to the touch. He lets it fall to the floor, before grabbing it and reading what it says. "...the colt? I walked him out myself..." He looks back at you. "It looks like we have another minor problem. I need to go meet your friends, apparently a young colt that I took to Town Hall... never arrived?" He shakes his head. "I have to go. Gearick, I trust your judgment. The antidote is what matters, so handle this as you see fit. Ma'am." He nods to Peppers, and walks away. Peppers turns to you, eyes still shut. "That is unfortunate, foals going missing. So, what did you think we should do about... this?"

Bells, Dodger, Scales:
The surgeon glances around, then looks at you. "Oh... nothing, ma'am. Just... concerned. Please take it easy, you still should be resting after such invasive surgery." Swallowtail steps forward. He glances at Dodger, but directs his question to Scales. "Uh, will you still be needing any assistance?"

Sunburst:
"Ok, then." Quick Fix examines you... and that's it. Straightforward, exactly the kind of thing you'd expect at a regular checkup. Stethoscope, ears, nose (which he mentions is still bleeding), reflexes, etc. He finishes, sitting back, and saying, "Good, excellent. Just about done. Miss Juniper?" You hear it before you see it, the syringe kit bag unzipping. Turning to look, she has a needle ready for you, and she approaches you swiftly.

Sleuth:
The female Guard guides you down to the ground. "You look peaceful," she says, "So I won't cuff you. But you're coming with us for questioning, understood?" She places a hoof on the back of your neck, ensuring your compliance. You can see the other Guard cuffing your opponent, who is still fighting.

Storm knows he can't create an antidote for every single pony in town, but he can create a few more, and sets out to use the remaining ingredients to create them.

"Understood." Penned says thinking that this is a complete waste of time.

Scales:
"Oh, thank y...as you wish, ma'am." Swallowtail follows you out into the hall. "So where are we headed now?" He can't help but look at Dodger.

Storm:
Once you've done it once, its fairly easy to replicate the procedure, cutting the time in half- you finish both in just about the same time as it took you to mix the first.

Sleuth:
The mare allows you to fly, accompanying you to Town Hall. Upon entering, you can hear a commotion coming from down a hallway, a nurse rushing out of it and heading up the stairs. The Guard directs you to the left, down another hallway, and into a small conference room. "Now, sir, please tell me your name, why you were involved in the incident, and what you were doing leading up to that point."

"Let's get a move on then." Scales leads the way...

Sunburst jumps up and away from the doctor and Juniper taking wing.
"Woah what! You said I could go, why needle?"

"I believe a border or barricade would be a sufficient word to describe it," said Dodger, heading along.

Storm takes the vials and stores them away carefully in his saddlebags. He then leaves the room and goes off to find Quick-Fix and Juniper.

"My name is Penned Sleuth, I was on my way towards the Town Center and i decided to to take a shortcut down an alley. There, a group of pegasi were hanging out, when i tried to pass by them they stopped me telling me to give them all my stuff, when I refused they tried to take it by force. Then before I knew it, i'm in the Town Hall, answering questions."

OOC:

Scales, Bells, Dodger:
"Oh yes, Mr. Boulder is right, it would be barricade." Swallowtail follows you all. Blackberry s waiting impatiently. "So? Do we know where he is?"

Sleuth:
The Guard smiles at you. "I figured it might be something along those lines. We've heard about that Pegasus gang, so it's no mystery they were the aggressors." She walks toward the door. "hat's really all we needed, I suppose. We aren't really supposed to be concerning ourselves with small crimes like fighting right now anyway. Just needed to make sure you were alright, and get a statement about it. I don't really have anything else, so you may leave if you wish."

Storm:
You enter into the hall. Assuming Doctor Quick Fix meant the same patient you saw before, you can guess he's in that same room with the "Dangerous" Pegasus.

Sunburst:
"It's just a minor depressant and coagulant." Quick Fix explains quickly. "Your nose is still bleeding, this will calm your heart rate and make the blood clot a little easier, stopping the blood flow. Please."

Storm heads to the "dangerous" pegasus room.

"We're meeting a guy who might know." Scales then turns to Swallowtail. "You wouldn't happen to have the low down of where they'd bring a foal, would ya?"

"Well coming at me with a needle isn't going to get me OR my heart calm!"  Sunburst continues to avoid Juniper (if she continues to pursue).  "Not after you've already tranq'd me twice!"

Acrobatics:

OOC:

With a nod, Penned starts making his way out of the Town Hall.

Sunburst:
You try and zip away, but Juniper is too fast for you. She leaps, grabbing your hind leg, and stabbing the needle into your thigh. Immediately, you feel much more passive, the drug hazing your senses. You stop flapping, falling to the bed. You're still cognizant, but foggy, and a little numb. "There, see? That wasn't so bad." Quick Fix comes over and wipes the blood from your nose, then examines your face. "Yes, clearing up already." At that moment, the door opens, and Storm enters the room.

Scales, Bells, Dodger, Sleuth:
"No ma'am. I figured they'd have brought him here, I don't know where else he'd be." You all enter the lobby.

At the same time, Sleuth enters from the other direction. You spot a mare you know well, Blackberry, walking with a group of ponies. She spots you at the same time, and gasps. "Penned Sleuth!" She runs over to you. "You're a detective, too! Please, come with us, I need your help! I can't find Autumn Leaf, they don't know where he is! Please!" Looking at the other group, you sort of recognize one of them, the Bat Pony, as a police detective.

When Blackberry runs off, Scales looks at the stallion she talks to. He seems familiar.

The bed feels actually kind of comfy without the restraints... She feels like she should be angry but this feels actually kind of comfy, nice... if it weren't for the needle. Sunburst doesn't like needles.
"I don't like needles..."
Her swimming mind isn't sure what to think, so it decides to latch onto something completely different.
"Who's that?" Sunburst says pointing at Storm
