Right after her poor introductions, under her wide grin
Equilibrium was already mentally bonking herself for coming up
with such poor reporter backstory. She was sure her cover would
be blown in an instant. "Should have chosen some known paper
dummy" she repeatedly said to herself. Still, trying to salvage
her situation, she quickly did her best to recover from the
minor setback only she was hopefully aware of at this point.
Hearing one of the guards sigh at her fictive reporter status,
she was about to responds to Mana's sighs, before the other
guard cut in.
"You can?" Equilibrium asked enthusiasticly, turning to Thunder
and bopping her book open to record all those fancy details on
the matter, only to raise eyebrow in confusion when Thunder went
all the way back to last sunday. If it was even the last sunday
he was referring to, with the prefix perfect. What made a sunday
perfect? A day off? A fine plate of food? A fine- Equilibrium
was pulled off of the train of thought to nowhere by Mana, with
his refusal for an interview. Trying to not lose her composure
from Mana recognizing her, she tried her best to be an
"investigative reporter", and launched a question back to Mana
"Fortunate, or suspicious? I saw a group of seemingly trained
individuals, despite dressing like civilians, take down a
hellspawn from tartarus. Surely there's more to it than simply a
stroke of pure luck" She said with a curious glare, noting her
words down just in case any of them were to question her about
her words later on. "I cannot simply write no comment to
everything. I want the full story!" She said eagerly, slamming
the book shut and tightly pressing it against her chest,
grinning at the alert guard. One could even hear her squee a
bit, as she grinned.
The more talkative guard's question brought worry back to
Equilibrium, as the chosen name for the publication was now
being questioned. But as Thunder got corrected on the matter,
much to her own surprise as well, such newspaper actually seemed
to exists. Considering this a small scale victory, she then
began to doubt if it was a good thing that she accidentally
referred to an existing publication. She had no clue how they
wrote, but the guards seemed to be eager to fill her in on those
details.
She hopped up, facing Charybdis "I only write down the hard
facts!" She proclaimed, almost doing so in the name of history
and science, almost blowing her cover "Not some... Made up
stories..." she then continued with lowered voice from her
outburst. She was probably only one to follow the group, and the
chance of actual reporters being there and still alive were dim.
"Well, a reporter" Equilibrium corrected. "I suppose it was just
fortunate i happened to be there" She said, giving a small grin
to Mana.
"Why not?" She said in a whiney tone right after Mana was
denying her from joining the group. Perhaps the grin was too
much. "I am fully capable of taking care of myself" She said
defensively "And won't get in the way of your guards duties" She
looks at Thunder who chimed in, and immediately taking the
chance and getting behind his argument "Yeah, what he said!" She
groaned "Only. Facts" She repeated, swinging her book in the air
to emphasize that it was only filled with important things, not
fluff. "Why did i go with a reporter story...?" Equilibrium
questioned herself, as the guards went back and forth.
Happy to hear yet another pony support her coming along as well,
she made a mental note on the red mare, who seemed to have a
deathwish, constantly coming up with quotes for her future
tombstone.
"So?" She then said, interrupting the guards. "Most seem to be
in favor of facts and full stories and all that. Can i come?"
She asked with beaming eyes

Mana stubbornly stuck to his position but found himself
outnumbered. Thunder urged him with an eager smile, one excited
to later read about himself no doubt, while Mana's check on
Charybdis only found a neutral but increasingly impatient shrug.
The rest seemed either to not have an opinion or agreed that the
reporter should accompany them, so Mana eventually gave in with
a sigh.
"Just do as we ask and don't go poking your nose anywhere it
shouldn't be," he said, laying out the conditions under which
Equilibrium could tag along, "I also may or may not also need to
review what you take down if we come into contact with any
sensitive materials."
"You can't stop the press, Mana!" Thunder said, "Soon the world
will know my name!" Leaning closer to Equilibrium, Thunder
continued in a more hushed tone. "You aren't one of those
reporters that sketch things as they go are you? I need to know
if I should pose extra heroic or not."
"Every second here is one closer to that cyclops waking up,"
Charybdis reminded with a stern yet unspoken command to move on.
"True," Mana agreed, looking over the gathered ponies and
griffon and then taking out a map to review their route, "If
everyone's ready to go then we shouldn't waste any more time. We
can follow the treeline and cross back onto the road for the
first leg but eventually we're going to have to take the scenic
route through the woods. If there is nothing else anyone needs
to do then we should get going sooner rather than later as its
going to be a hike."
If there was nothing else than the group would make their final
preparations before heading off.

Equilibrium happily hopped onto her hooves, ready to move out.
She gave a sly smile to Mana, accompanied by a "But of course"
on his terms for allowing her to tag along. She was already
ready to move out, but turned her attention to Thunder, when the
guard addressed her. "The more heroic, the better" She said with
a chuckle. "I promise to add some extra detail to immortalize
you on the pages of history!"
