Miss M sighed and followed out, and Zephyr, bewildered by all this, followed obediently if to get away from the tension.
"Oui, mon capitaine." He salutes and grabs his most lethal-...wait, why is he pulling out his lute? Whaaat??

Grubbs stared at the ninja in confusion. "Why youse would do that? Youse not vampire here to saves us...her..."
"You'd be amazed how common this is. Outsourcing to ninjas is like, the second-best thing you can possibly do. For anything. Ever.
I gotta ask, though, out of curiosity; do they pay you in anything besides the whole 'living dead benefits' deal?"

Blaze shakes his head.
"No, no civilians are trapped inside to my knowledge. How it was started? Somepony fooled around with some fire arrows, at least that's what I've heard."
"Any other questions? I've gotta go refuel this mecha."

"Within reason." He spends a silent moment trying to think of something besides 'but' or 'however', and then just decides to roll with it. "However, I think reason is something you have no lack of."

"Nothing...must be nerves...I don't think flight will work with both of us, but teleportation might. I ah...haven't tried carrying more than myself, but the principle should apply. I think."

"Good! That way, you'll know what to do if I start acting strangely. Not that I expect it to come up that soon, of course..."
[One Gilligan Cut Later]
The ghostly graveyard guard gave them a glare. "What part of 'the seal is to be left alone' isn't clear to you?"
"I don't know. Maybe the part where you never actually said that?" Night Jewel replied.
"Oh, right. You weren't here before. Well, you'd best leave now."

"Oh, alright." She seems oddly disappointed that she won't be able to dangerously experiment with things he doesn't fully understand. Whoops, did I say 'he'? I ah, meant 'she'. Of course.

"Indeed. I am the spirit of Shining Sword, a paladin who died to control a powerful sorceress. It is my duty to make sure she stays confined. She challenged the Princesses' power. She is too arrogant and dangerous to be let free."
Night Jewel considered this. "Huh. Do you think we should check this out, or just get back to what we were doing?"

Luckily, Blades couldn't read the narration.
They soon arrived at what looked like the lair of a pair of Equestria Death Rats. The two large rodents were sleeping, one curled up on top of the other. Behind them was a faintly-lit passage.

Sandy opted to follow orders; at least it meant getting out of this mess. "Aye Cap'n." he croaked as he pulled himself together and followed after her.

Night Jewel considered this. "Huh. Do you think we should check this out, or just get back to what we were doing?"
"Ah, I see." In just three words, his intonation goes from 'sweet, I can turn him!' to 'aw, he's a paladin' to 'wow, he's a paladin!'. Then he glances down at Jewel. "My preference here should be fairly obvious, but I still follow your path." Apparently that's a yes?

"I don't think I know these two." Arvadraa mutters. "I could try to befriend them, but rushing might open me up for mistakes. Or, we can go around." She purposefully (and hopefully) leaves out the third rather obvious choice of 'do what you do best'.

Rolling her eyes at the personal affairs and dysfunctionality that always leads to wacky hijinks... like stranglings, Staccata just wants to get this over with. "If we're quite done, we need to get moving."

The sniper, head down, slinks off with the rest.

And One Jump Cut Later
Vampony Shenanigans
The gang of...insert number here, would find themselves in the southern end of Bridle Shores, a familiar place for Staccata, Silverpine, and Gearstride, more so to the latter two who played detective. There were the small strolling woods south across the street of them, and past that, the cemetery more south of them. It was quiet on the streets with nay but a sound, save for the whistling wind and stirring trees. Well, it was a quieter section of town in the first place, but it was just extra quiet.
"....I don't feel anything here, we're likely not close enough," The red mare stirred, her nose wrinkling a bit.
"Then we shall simply keep moving. We should probably go through the woods, so we're less out in the open, and plenty of wood to go around there.." Gearstride muttered as she then ran across the street and made for the side of the house to get to the woods behind this row of picturesque houses.

Re: [FwM] Bridle Shores 90210-Mlp without the Kiddy Thread XIII
Sandy, being one of the few melee fighters they had, stuck up close to the front beside Gearstride. The engineer glanced up at the rooftops as he darted alongside the Captain. "Aye, gettin' caught in th' open with their speed'll be a death wish. At least with th' trees there's plenty of cover, an' they can't go full-out sprintin' without wrappin' themselves around an oak." His throat was turning a lovely shade of purple, but at least he could talk without any pain now. He'd continue to stick nearer the front, keeping an eye out for any lookouts, mortal or otherwise.

"Not to sound overly like a pyschologist, but you don't seem to have the same feelings on the matter. I get loyalty, but is the 'undead creature' more of a boon or a threat to your lord?"

"Sweet, trees. Oh, I almost forgot." He passes out small bags to Zephyr, M and Sandy. They're full of...dirt. "Got those from Flips forever ago."

Amaya
"This creature feeds two of my lord's weaknesses so he desires her." The ninja spits out the pill which cracks on the ground. It rumbles for a bit then begins to smoke.
Rainbow
The sniper remains quiet. Maybe out of embarrassment from before. Her slow gait is obviously a speed for avoiding Sandy Shores. The whole walk her kept from eye contact from anyone.

Re: [FwM] Bridle Shores 90210-Mlp without the Kiddy Thread XIII
To the Crpyt!
Staccata follows along. Being a rogue, she's in the second line of fighters. She keeps quiet, knowing that talking would make her a bigger target.

"Yup. I am indeed part of the Cirrus crew. And I've gotta go check on everypony else and see if they're okay. I've kinda been away from the fighting."

"I'll be right there."

Trees meant less time to react to nasty surprises as well. "Plenty of cover for them to spring a surprise on us as well." At least he won't have any trouble aiming in the woods, as any combat would likely take place in knife fight range anyway.

Vampony Shenanigans
"I don't think any side could land surprises on the other," Miss M commented tapping her nose. "Nonetheless, vigilance, always a good thing to have."
And then suddenly, the woods overhead stirred bending over a bit south, as if though something were flying overhead at such a fast speed. The two vamponies stirred in a twitch, Miss M nearly springing up to the tree tops only to find nothing. If it was a vampony, it was now past the sensor ranges and not turning back.
"At least we know we're on the right track, south indeed."

You sure you don't want to talk first? Let's face it; talking's more fun than escaping." Calm, unhurried, just kind of sitting there, letting the words roll out. So much for smarts.

"No offense intended, but...those sound mostly like a business decision and stuff you do for him. What I want is an absolute, here. I'm sure you do, too. How do you really know he cares about you as a pony, not an asset?" He still shows no concern whatsoever. Which either means he's an idiot or is very certain he is in no danger. Or both.

"The way my lord does things with me around. He shows different emotions." The smoke covered her completely. Her soft voice snaked through the puffy white wall, making it bulge as she spoke. "The lord shows me his guilts. His shame. His true sorrows. I am one of the few that can see into his eyes."

"He trusts you, and you are among the rare in that field. And so now I see. He saved you, gave you purpose, and you are among his real friends, not the invisible watcher that you are on business. How could you possibly not be loyal to him?" He nods.
"And now that I understand where you're coming from, it makes the situation all the harder. We're at an impasse, wherein fighting accomplishes nothing. So I'll ask you this; do you have a suggestion as to what we can do?"

"You can ensure that this creature remains unharmed further and allowed to heal. My lord deserves only the prettiest of mates. Even if they cannot bear him foals like a living mare like myself." said the ninja as she emerged from the smoke. "Also she must come with me before dawn or at nightfall."

"I see. The goodness of my heart goes pretty far...farther than your demands, actually, but I'm not so sure of the crew here. But there's a way both of us can benefit." He motions to a nearby corner so they can have a whispered conversation.
"I would ask this; Perhaps reports from you on what she says. I'm not asking you to betray your master, I wouldn't do that. I'm asking you to betray her. I can assure you that who she serves and who you serve are not the same pony, and helping us to bring down whoever she's taking the real orders from will mean a lot less headache for you and him."
