       Re: Weaver
       By: Foxtrot Date: December 3, 2017, 2:53 pm
       ---------------------------------------------------------
       Foxtrot couldn't help but clench his jaw slightly when he looks
       over to the mare falling on her face. That must've hurt. Despite
       the urge to help, he knew he had to keep up with Mana and
       Thunder on their way to the inn. He keeps pressing forward,
       although he knows his sister may lag a bit behind. Despite who
       she is, what others would see her as if she *really* was
       herself, she wasn't one to ignore a pony in need. Plus, as the
       head of a medical organization, any chance to practice her craft
       won't be missed. Regardless, she'll catch up. No matter how far
       they become, how lost they may be, they always end up finding
       each other. The stallion trots close behind the rather comedic
       pair, nodding to their responses as he tries not to be audible
       in his chuckles. Following Mana's instruction, he tails behind
       Thunder as they make their way to the inn. The atmosphere was
       rather pleasant, and it certainly isn't because it's out of the
       harsh sunlight outside. It's very cozy in here, the fireplace
       itself appearing to be spot he'll lounge around during the
       evenings. Eyeing up the guests in line in front of them, he
       mentally notes them but pays them no mind. Right now he just has
       to worry about signing in, finding the room, dropping his things
       off, and meeting up with Nivalia and Tinder to show them the
       room as well. They have to sign in too, can't forget that.
       Actually, since he's here, he circles around Thunder and signs
       his name by hoof; usually he'd use his magic, but old habits die
       hard.

       ---------------------------------------------------------
       As Fox went and followed the two stallions further into the
       town, Nivalia's attention was drawn to the mare who had just
       collapsed onto the ground. Immediately at the sight of blood,
       she enters her caregiver mindset. Although another pegasus was
       assisting with retrieving the wounded mare's bag and offering a
       tissue, the changeling's medic bag opens up. "My, that looks
       like quite a spill you took there." A rag emerges from her pack
       and levitates over to the red unicorn, dusting away dirt and
       debris from her coat and mane. A small roll of her signature
       medical wraps floats out. With a pull and a tear, a small
       snippet, perfectly sized for the wound in question, gently
       hovers over to her. One side is lined with a blue with a thin
       layer of gel. Upon application to the affected area, the
       recipient would be met with a cooling sensation on their wound
       as it is cleaned and sealed under the vanilla colored bandage.
       "This will certainly help with that scuff you have on your face.
       Although I advise using that tissue to clean up the wound
       first." Nivalia turns back to find Foxtrot fading out through
       the crowd. "Oh, Tinder. Can you follow behind Fox? He's probably
       heading to the inn right now." A smile appears on her face, "I'm
       sure you'll enjoy getting there as fast as possible. Don't wait
       for me, dear. I'll catch up soon enough." She knows her friend
       isn't too fond of the heat, and with today's weather, her well
       being is also a priority.

       Tinder doesn't seem to be paying a whole lot of attention to
       what's going on around her, not even noticing the mare fall. As
       she hears her name she looks over and nods, doing her best to
       keep up with the disappearing Foxtrot, not wanting to be lost in
       the crowd. She doesn't even know why she's here, if she gets
       lost she may not find her way back.

       “Thank you,” Nyx told the blue pegasus gratefully, taking her
       bag and setting it by her. She looked over when the unicorn with
       strange green aura approached her as well. Her eyes narrowed
       slightly, zeroing in on the levitated rag. She couldn’t detect
       any other shades of green… it had to be all of the unicorn’s own
       magic. But… how? She was so focused on the mystery, she realized
       she hadn’t been listening and only caught the tail end of what
       the dark unicorn said.
       “Right, of course,” she said, not taking her eyes off the aura
       around the offered bandage. She took the tissue in her hoof, and
       awkwardly dabbed at the blood, more used to levitation, but
       unwilling to show her mixed aura… especially in front of the
       impossible mare. “Thank you, both of you. I’m usually not that
       clumsy. Regardless, I’m very appreciative of the help.” As she
       spoke, she felt the bandage meet the worst of the scrape. The
       cooling sensation was of great relief, and Nyx’s muscles relaxed
       slightly. “Woah, that feels amazing. Do you work in healthcare
       or something?" she asked the unicorn. Glancing back to the
       pegasus, she added, “My name is Onyx Lotus, by the way. It’s a
       pleasure to meet you both.” She purposefully gave her full name,
       as she was known by most ponies as simply “Nyx.”

       "Nice to meet you, Onyx. I'm Serenity. Coming up here because my
       sister couldn't make it this year." She takes a moment to smooth
       down the pocket of her bag. "Glad we could help. Come here
       often?" She seems a little antsy to get moving towards the inn.
       Just a little, though.

       While some ponies are checking in at the desk, a ruckus starts
       up the stairs before a stallion trundles down them. He's
       sporting a good amount of luggage on his back and shouting back
       up the stairs things like, "No. No. No more. I'm leaving. No!"
       He pushes his way out the door in a huff, not bothering to look
       back once he's out.
       "Fine. Then a good day to you," PLO calls after the retreating
       pony from the top of the stairs. His jet-black mane is matted
       with sweat and his black cloak plastered against his coat. The
       heat is bad enough for everypony else, and his dark coloring
       isn't doing him any favors in that regard either. Not that his
       bearing would betray any hint that it's bothering him. He stands
       tall and proud, looking down from the second floor. "Miss
       Spirit, it seems that my roommate has left the premises, leaving
       a vacancy in the room."

       ---------------------------------------------------------
       Tungsten hesitates to start getting a room in order, thinking
       back on how distressed Brash seemed. The runes she drew have
       fully faded into his armor, but the weight was still gone and it
       began to cool him down regardless of the heat.
       After the minor ruckus Tungsten clears his throat and approaches
       the desk, giving the stallion at the top of the stairs a glance
       before rolling his eyes back to the receptionist, "Hey, uh,
       something on the first floor if you can." Although the pony at
       the desk tries for a bit of chatter, Tungsten unintentionally
       shuts it down with his low energy answers and quickly receives a
       room key.

       Re: Weaver
       By: Faded Glory Date: December 16, 2017, 10:27 pm
       ---------------------------------------------------------
       Faded Glory rubs at her tired eyes as the last of the tourists
       heads off into town, grumbling quietly to herself. What was
       taking the others so long anyway? It was probably that Day Lily
       from Fillydelphia getting caught up in the festivities. She'd
       spent half the ride here going on and on about different vendors
       and random trivia about the town's history like she wasn't here
       to investigate dangerous monster attacks. Glory is so busy
       mentally disparaging her co-investigator in fact that she
       doesn't even notice her relief arrive until he taps her on the
       shoulder. "Yah!" She gives a light shriek of surprise and her
       eyes dart around for a moment before she recovers herself. "Oh,
       Harvestman. You here to take over?" The stallion gives a nod and
       takes a look around the street. "See anything interesting?" He
       asks, and Glory hands over a notepad with some basic
       descriptions of anything of interest. "A few things here and
       there, nothing that really stands out though." Harvestman flicks
       through the pad briefly, nodding again. "You look like you're
       about to pass out on your hooves. Go ahead and head back to the
       Green Lion and lay down for a bit." Glory stifles a yawn and
       nods in thanks, turning away to walk down the street. "Next
       arrival is still a while off, you probably have time to check a
       few of them out before then." She trudges off in the direction
       of the hotel, still trying to keep an eye out for anything
       strange despite her fatigue. There's nothing out of the ordinary
       until she arrives at the inn, where a there is a cart now parked
       out front. While this isn't too unusual itself, she makes a
       mental note to ask Lily what she can find out about it's owner
       later. She walks past and through into the blessed coolness of
       the inn, and takes a moment to enjoy being out of the hot sun.
       Her enjoyment is short lived however as she almost immediately
       notices the pony in thick black armored plates, looking for all
       the world like an evil warlord jumped right out of a storybook.
       She blinks and stares for a few seconds. Surely whoever is
       causing the strange appearences couldn't be that obvious. She
       rubs at her eyes again and heads for the alchemist shop portion
       of the inn. She certainly can't head upstairs to bed with that
       walking around. Glory supposes she could go get Lily to do it,
       but the mare was likely to focus so much on Mr Black Knight that
       she'd miss any other clues. Like the appearance of their former
       number one suspect at the top of the stairs, having apparently
       driven off his current roommate with his... personality. She
       keeps an eye on the both of them as she pretends to browse,
       noting the withdrawn nature of his responses. She'll have to see
       if she can pick up a name to get to Lily later.

       ---------------------------------------------------------
       After the exchange at the stairs Spirit smirked and looked back
       at the other mare working the opposite end of the counter whilst
       retrieving a key for Tungsten and taking his information.
       "Hey, Alacrity!" she would call after checking the sign in
       sheet, the named pony huffing and tossing a more bothered
       response back at Spirit.
       "I know! I heard... You'll get your bits later..." Spirit
       giggled while Alacrity tried to pretend she didn't exist and
       instead playfully addressed the mare browsing the wares of the
       shop, "Hello! Finding everything okay? Whatever you might be
       looking for I'm sure we've got something. The Green Lion is THE
       premiere potion bar this side of nowhere after all. So says this
       unbiased mare at least."
       "First floor, just beyond the stairs," Spirit returned her
       attention to Tungsten, passing on his key for room 103 and
       seeming to not be bothered the least by his hurry, "If you need
       anything else just let us know, we'd be happy to help!"
       Thunder would eye the stallion's armor once more as he stepped
       away but let it go since he now knew he was checking in not out
       and overheard the general area to search if he felt a need to
       find him. Then again this place wasn't all that big so it most
       likely wouldn't be too hard regardless of the information. It
       now being his turn, he stepped up with a broad smile.
       "Hello, ma'am," he'd begin, dragging his suitcase behind him the
       few feet it needed to go while suffering what felt like yards of
       effort for his admittedly reluctant and mildly lazy ass, "I'm
       looking for one of the biggest rooms you've got for a temporary
       stay of three and enough breathing room for a possible twenty or
       thirty extra once word gets out that I'm here."
       "Well, you could rent the building, but that's not covered by
       the festival offer and it can get really cold in here by
       yourself," the mare replied without missing a beat, Thunder
       chuckling a little while Spirit consulted her books, "I think we
       may have lost our last triple recently but I'mma check. Go ahead
       and sign in for yourself and we'll see what we have."
       Thunder did as he was told, jotting down his name and glancing
       about the area while Spirit searched for answers. She hummed and
       pulled the sign in sheet over to check his signature then
       squinted in what looked like confusion.
       "... Is something wrong?" Thunder asked after a few too many
       seconds went by.
       "No, I just feel like there's something... Oh!" Spirit digging
       up whatever she'd been trying to remember, ducked behind her
       counter and placed two keys and an envelope on the couter before
       Thunder, "There ya go!"
       "Where did I go?" Thunder asked with a tilt of his head at the
       items, "What's going where?"
       "Your rooms! Two rooms with two beds each?" suddenly less
       confident, Spirit consulted another smaller book she'd been
       keeping on her side only to nod and reaffirm, "Thunder, Mana
       Burn and Foxtrot, right?"
       It was about this time that Mana entered into the building, his
       papers once again neatly folded and stored in his saddlebags
       while his luggage still balanced on his back. Thunder would
       glance over towards him in time to see Mana wipe away a build up
       of sweat from his brow and heft his luggage down to give himself
       a break.
       "Yeah..." Thunder squinted a little and wasn't super thrilled to
       hear the names, "When was this reserved exactly? I don't
       remember anyone telling me they'd sent word ahead so it's just a
       bit of a surprise is all."
       "Couple days ago?" Spirit tried, tapping a hoof to her chin as
       she attempted to remember, "I remember it was when most of the
       current guests were signing in and that it was a stallion? I
       think he was orange... No, yello- wait! Orange! I think. Sorry,
       we helped a lot of people that day so they all kind of blended
       together..."
       "That's alright, I'll probably remember who it might have been
       once they send me a letter telling me I owe them," Thunder gave
       Spirit a smile to relax and took the keys and envelope, "Anyway,
       I guess that will just make it easier to get to the fun out
       there. Thanks!"
       "Yup, just let us know if theres anything else you need!"
       Thunder nodded and left the counter then made his way over
       towards Foxtrot whom had been joined by Mana shortly after he'd
       come inside. Mana was sorting something out in his bag so
       Thunder would toss a key to Foxtrot - room 204 - and a question
       to both.
       "Either of you know an orange - possibly yellow - stallion who
       knew we were coming? Seems we had two keys and our names waiting
       for us here."
       "Absolutely not," Mana replied without hesitation, looking up
       from his bag with half-lidded eyes that were not surprised that
       something had already gone awry, "this vacation of ours was near
       spur of the moment, like a trip to Las Peagsus, remember?
       Sending people ahead to secure rooms is very planned and not in
       the least impulsive, but I suppose it's not impossible someone
       from back home may have wanted to make sure we had somewhere to
       stay and sent word. Unless you have a buddy that wanted to
       surprise you?"
       Mana directed that last bit to Fox while Thunder remembered the
       envelope he'd been given. Slipping the remaining key into his
       bag - 205 - he tore it open with his teeth to find an extremely
       short note.
       You be good now, ya hear?
       "Oh, this can only be fun." Thunder promised with a grin and
       passed the unsigned note to the others.

       ---------------------------------------------------------
       As Foxtrot takes the keys and unsigned note, he shakes his head,
       "Not anyone I'm familiar with. I mean, not having to worry about
       getting rooms is a plus. But, not knowing exactly how we got
       these rooms somewhat warrants the opposite feeling. Still, it's
       just rooms to sleep in, what-" The stallion cuts himself off. He
       knows if he finishes that sentence with 'is the worst that can
       happen?' then the absolute worst thing happens. "matters is what
       we have to do here." Foxtrot slings his ruck sack over his
       shoulder again, placing his room key in one of his front
       pockets. The note itself is placed in the same compartment. If
       it's something important, privacy would definitely be nice when
       reading it. Besides, he has to wait for two more mares to
       arrive.
