Let that sink in.

Ziya stared wide and round eyed. Twitch twitch. She then fainted, again.

Jump Start


"Ooooh, what's going on here? Jump Start curiously looked around the room. New room, meant new discoveries...and possibly more disasters to befall them.

[Deme]

"The usual. Mad science. Being dead."

Arc Light shrugged.

"Is that really the usual Miss ghost?" The doofy mare went up in Arc Light's space and stared with her mouth making a small 'o' shape.

[Lycan 01]

[Ziya]

The blue unicorn sighs and rolls his eyes. "Great. Still lost, and now with an unconscious zebra. Happy birthday to me..." he laments. He trots past Ziya, and wreathes her in an aura of flickering silver energy. She hovers a few feet off the ground, and begins to hover lazily after him. Unfortunately, judging from the look of strain on his face, he seems to be far too weak to carry her too far, or magically get them out of the maze.

~thud thud thump~

Something is bumping around in the closet...

Moments later Ziya was out of her little faint spell, the feeling of weightlessness feeling all too....funky. "Aack...what...why am I...?...!" She flailed in the air all uncool like.

"It is now!"

"...What's that noise?" Witch Hazel opens the closet door over Arc Light's protests.

[Lycan 01]

[Ziya]

The blue unicorn gently sets Ziya down, and smiles sheepishly. "Sorry. I couldn't just leave you behind, and magically carrying you seemed to the better alternative. I would magically zap us out of here, but..." he rolls his eyes, "I'm so weak and hungover and fatigued I'd probably zap us into the sky or turn us inside out or something. Feh. Not exactly a proud moment for somebody famous for their magical abilites..." he grumbles.

[Them Other Maids]

The moment Witch Hazel opens the door, Prince Blueblood comes bouncing out, bound and gagged. Wobbling on his hog-tied hooves, and with a wild look in his eyes, he makes a hobbling break for the stairs.

"I...well thanks....really must have been some...birthday party then?" Ziya just stared at the stallion trying to find a name but her mind wasn't working for that sort of stuff. "I...who are you exactly? I mean, what is your name? Yes...its a really weird question I'm sure, but I can't really remember much, or why I refer to you as 'sir'....I feel like have amnesia or something, I don't know.." She shook her head and then sighed.

Jump Start


The mare gasped in surprise and bounced after the white stallion. "Who's this? Who's this? Why does he have a gag? Are you naughty like that Arc Light? Teehee." She asked in amused cheer!

[Deme]

"I have no idea. I was going to ask the boss."

Witch Hazel stepped between Blueblood and the door. She looked kind of like a gangster when the light framed her from behind and above like that.

"Now listen here, Buddy...We're very reasonable people, except maybe our spectral friend. But we're a little confused.Now, we could ask our boss what to do with you. You'd need to be quiet while 'dat happened, though. Or you could tell us, nice and polite-like, who you are and what's happening. But this has gotta be nice and quiet, too....Cause we'd hate for something to... Happen to a special guest like you."

[Lycan 01]

[Ziya]

The stallion smiles kindly at Ziya. "It is alright. Yes, the party was a lot more... exciting... than I expected. I seem to recall being quite intoxicated, to the point that I actually excepted a bet to see if I could summon a great white shark." He pauses to chuckle, before suddenly deadpanning: "You wouldn't happen to know if I actually managed to pull that off, do you?"

The blue unicorn gives a dismissive shake of his head. "Nevermind, not important. It would seem the cider we served was much harder than I expected. That, or somepony spiked it. My bits are on the latter," he says with a roll of his eyes.

"At any rate, my name is Silverwright, so named because of my creative abilities, particularly with metallurgy and spellcrafting, and of course-" he pokes at his mane, "-my color scheme. Most ponies see my hair and assume I'm double my age..." he mutters with an amused smirk. He does indeed look rather distinguished and mature, especially with his spectacles, though "old" isn't quite the right word.

He smirk fades, though, and a look of concern appears in his eyes. "Pray tell, how are the other maids? And Godfrey? They haven't gotten themselves into too much trouble, have they?" A pause. "The mansion is a total wreck, isn't it?"



-----

[Three Maids and an Aristocrat (how scandalous!)]

Prince Blueblood, eyes wide with terror, plows right into Witch Hazel as she tries to reason with him. She winds up sprawled out on the floor, slightly dazed. The bound-and-gagged noblepony lets out a muffled yell of triumph as he reaches the door to the stairs - only to be bodily tackled to the floor by Jump Start.

The Prince is knocked out cold, his eyes spinning from the impact. Oops. Oh well, at least he's not trying to escape anymore.


Without warning, Godfrey peeks his head through the doorway. "Ah! There you all are. Well, most of you," the butler observes. "I was wondering if-"

He pauses, and looks down at the unconscious noble. He then looks back up at the maids, and raises a set of talons to coolly adjust his sunglasses. "I never saw you. You never saw me. This whole moment? It never happened."

And with that, he disappears back up the stairs.

[Benson]

Ziya

Experienced, that would be the word. Ziya looked at this Silverwright, her eyes still dripping with confusion but at least some thing were answered. Even if she didn't quite get this, at least knowing made her feel better.

"Ah...yes...uhm..the maids are fine, Godfrey's okay, the one named Arc Light is a phantom.....and yes...the mansion is in a wreck..." She kinda felt a little bad about speaking bitter of him earlier. Just a little bad. "This is a little awkward now."
------------------------------

Jump Start

"Aack....I didn't mean to knock him out...bhwuh...." She stared at the unconscious noble and poked him on his large barrel. She chuckled. And then Godfrey popped in.

"Huh? What? Hey Mister Godfrey come back!"

[Deme]

"We kind of need your help with this!" Witch Hazel, kind of knowing it's a lost cause, chased after him anyway.

"Who is this shmuck? He won't tell us!"

[Lycan 01]

[Ziya]

"Wait. Wait. Stop," Silverwright suddenly states firmly, his expression stern and serious. "What's this about Arc Light as a phantom?"



---

[3 Mares, a Stallion, and a Griffin]

Godfrey, for once, does not disappear. As Witch Hazel and Jump Start give chase, they find him three steps up the stairs. He's standing on his hind legs with his talons folded in front of his chest, looking down at them with a neutral expression. His sunglasses make him even harder to read, though in this lighting he definitely looks cool, like some sort of suave secret agent or something. "The fellow you just knocked out is Prince Blueblood, nephew of Princess Celestia. At least, I think he's knocked out."

A pause.

"Where did I leave my shovel?"

[Deme]

"Ok, so I guess we should let him go. Maybe a round of drinks and apologies for his trouble, huh?"

Arc Light pouts at this.

[Benson]

Ziya


"She's a ghost." Was it wise to drop this little bomb on him, nope, but its hilarious in its own way.
----

Jump Start

"Oooh, a prince, how fancy, I shall continue to poke him," She overheard the others and then did as she said she would do. Poke poke poke.

[Lycan 01]

[Ziya]

Silverwright stares. "Why...?"




[The Others]

"Or you can help me find my shovel," Godfrey states grimly.

[Benson]

"I d-don't know...maybe science did it?" Ziya herped.
---

"Why's ya need a shovel? You gonna bury him? That's creepy."

[Deme]

"Now waitasecond... I sorta was hopin' to leave takin' care of guys behind when I started takin' care of guys."

[Lycan 01]

[Ziya]

Silverwright closes his eyes and sighs. "I am not going to like this story, am I? No matter. What is the damage to the house? We don't have anything planned for today, do we? Or... this week at all? Repairs may take some time..." he mutters uncertainly.


---

[The Others]

Godfrey takes a step back, his cool and suave demeanor shattered as he recoils in horror. "Whoa, wait, who said anything about burying him? I just want to know where my shovel is! There's a massive crater in the backyard! Somebody has to fill it in..."

He regains his composure, crosses his claws, and turns his head to the side. "Besides... I need to plant a cactus garden to match the new local..." he huffs.

[Benson]

Ziya

"There is no answer I could give that would make you happy, in regards to any of those questions," Ziya simply stated. Her words were enough to instill what she meant.

-------

Jump Start

"So then...what do we do with him?" Poke poke poke the noble.

[Deme]

The two unicorns shrugged.

"Anyway, we don't remember where the shovel is."

"We don't even remeber where stuff to blug all the holes are..."

[Lycan 01]

[Ziya]

The Master pales. "Ziya... On a scale of one to ten, how bad is the damage?" he quietly asks. "And... what's on our schedule?"


---

[The others]

Godfrey shrugs. "Eh, he'll be fine. Nobody likes him, anyway. Heck, we might even get rewarded by the Royal Family if he were to disappear..."

[Deme]

"Can I do science to him?!"

She looked like she had just been promised her birthday...As she began to drag him back to the closet.

Witch Hazel eyed her warily.
"...Well, so about pluggin' some holes? I mean, we're sorta maids, not construction workers..."

[Benson]

Ziya

"Around an 11, with ten being bad, as for the other question, I do not know as I mentioned my wacky amnesia." the zebra replied with sigh. "I'm sorry."

Jump Start

"I'm not allowed around heavy machinery," Jump Start stated all matter of factly.

[Lycan 01]

[Ziya]

Silverwright raises a hoof to his face, closes his eyes, and gently rubs the bridge of his snout in thought. "I see. The manor is in ruins. Lovely. Well, I should be able to fix most of the damage, once I've had some rest and some coffee. I suppose it could be worse," he sighs. "My family could be coming by for a visit, or something. That would be terrible..."

He opens his eyes and looks around, studying the hedges. "I don't suppose you know a way out of here, do you?"


---

[The Others]

Godfrey frowns. "Well, that depends on what sort of science you want to do with him. Nothing like what you did to yourself last night, I hope. As for plugging holes, I am not sure where the repairing equipment is. Things seem to be rather mixed and switched around. I don't suppose this lab has anything useful in it?"

The griffin turns to study Jump Start for a moment. "Do... I even want to know why?"

[Deme]

"I'll go look for something to patch some walls..."

"Well, not only do we need tools, we need just *stuff*. We can't patch walls with tape....Or can we?"

She narrowed her eyes thoughtfully.

[Benson]

Ziya


"No..." Not without flying at least. "I told you earlier....I'm lost...too, and stuff....perhaps...we should...I dunno...try to peek over the hedge, one of us could climb the other's back and try to see where the manor is at."

Jump Start

"Nuuuuuu..." The filly-mare said in a low dramatic whisper in response to Godfrey. She then looked at Witch Hazel and brightly smiled. "Yes! We can use duct tape to patch the wall! It is sure to work! Its impossible for it to not work! Heeheehee!"

[Lycan 01]

[Ziya]

Silverwright nods. "Alright. You can climb up. I'd levitate you, but I'm not sure how high I'd be able to get you up, and for how long," he sighs. The Master then trots over to the nearest hedge, and stands up on his hind legs, bracing his forehooves against the shrubbery for balance. "Alright, up you go."


((Athletics or Luck))

[The Others]

Godfrey frowns. "I do not think tape is going to work. Perhaps there's something you can use here in the lab? We had a storage shed, but I am not sure if it accompanied us on the journey to this new land. Or if it did, whether or not it survived the trip. And the party."

The griffin suddenly raises an eyebrow. "Say... where is Ziya?"

[Deme]

"No clue."
She began looking for something to patch a wall with.

(1d6x2)[10]+3 to recognize a good thing.

"Well, Science can wait, I suppose. If it'll keep you from looking at my lab indiscriminately."

(1d6x3)[18] to use cunning to try and jury-rig a clever solution from the materials.

[Benson]

Ziya

The changeling posing as a feminine stallion posing as a female used their strength to hold pick up Silverwright.
