Re: Caught in the act (Shadesey lookie lookie!)

by **Prism** Sun Oct 27, 2013 9:06 pm

Prism was working at his desk there was a lot to work out and he had not been one for a desk job but this was something he was going to have to get use too, when a guard coming in saying they had an intruder and someone had been poisoned and had no idea what was used.

"Good we got the basted," He picked up a bag that he had not used in a lot time and he was looking forward to using it again at some point maybe today would be the day. "Lead the way."

Prism followed the Guard to were they was holding the prisoner and saw a unicorn waiting outside "You was the one that found him? He say anything about why he was here or what he was doing?"

by Rebel NPCs Sun Oct 27, 2013 9:58 pm

"No, sir", the unicorn answered with a brisk salute. "At least not in my presence. I had the suspicion that we were followed, so I sent River back through a parallel tunnel while I and Grumble took the one we had come from to trap him. When we arrived at the other junction River had already confronted him. I didn't get anything from what they were talking, but it didn't seem friendly, and at our arrival he suddenly shot her with his crossbow before seemingly giving up. He then continued to gloat that the bolt was poisoned and... I lost my temper and allowed him to get away again", the unicorn admitted awkwardly. His wounds were testament to that, the one on his left shoulder clearly visible. "During the fight he also said that I might be poisoned as well, but I seriously don't believe that. Just normal wounds with no unusual side effects. Not so much with River though, in her case the effects are plausible, I've sent her directly to the hospital. Still, I had the feeling that he mostly wanted to scare us until we subdued him. And he talked as if he at least knew something about an antidote."
"And before you go in there, he has artificial claws on his hind hooves, and we couldn't figure out how to remove them. He could easily have cut his ropes with them", the unicorn finished his report.

by **Prism** Mon Oct 28, 2013 7:57 am

Prism returned the salute to the unicorn. He listen to what he had said they had done well to trap him and he would have to have words with him about letting his anger the best of him but this was not the place.

"Well the moment you start to feel strange or anything, get yourself seen too right away. Till then both of you stay on this door and don't come in no matter what you hear and don't let any pony in not even Silver if you can help it," Last thing he needed was for others to see what he would do to get information and it was skilled he had used a good number of times in the war.

Prism stopped and this changed things "Get a good Axe one that will cut bone, I will go in first if he is out then we do what we need to do to tie him up again then we will remove his weapons," Looks like this was going to be a little more interesting.

by Rebel NPCs Mon Oct 28, 2013 11:18 am

The unicorn nodded and hurried off to the armory, coming back after a few minutes with one of the sharper axes they had available, a weapon that would definitely do the job of cutting off a leg in one go. Or maybe even two. Along with it, he also brought enough rope to tie the batpony up again. Keeping the axe ready, he positioned himself next to the door, the other guard standing on the other side, just in case the prisoner attempted something crazy.

by **Prism** Mon Oct 28, 2013 11:37 am

"Right, we have no idea why he's here for all we know its to kill our leader. He tries to get you kill him with out question. He knows were this base is now so the life's of everyone here is at risk not just River." He hopped they understood the risks and would do what ever it took.

Prism ready his shield spell just in case they needed it right away. He opened the door to see what he would find.

by The Fear Mon Oct 28, 2013 11:49 am

What they would find, is Fear free of his bonds. Huddled in the corner using his wings as a cover and for warmth. As he heard the door open, so did his eyes. He first made out a scarred pony, red from what he could tell through the light coming through the door.

He made a quick observation and spoke, "You remind me of my employer, Mr. Blackwing... Hm, If you are here to torture me know this, I will not break, I fear no pain, nor death. If not, you have my cooperation as long as I am not bound."

by **Prism** Mon Oct 28, 2013 12:11 pm

Prism walking into the room watch the batpony's every move, he took in the information he let go. He was working for someone a Griffon this told him all he needed to know. As for the no fear he had hurt it before a few had screamed for hours before dying and not giving up any information but in the end they all died.

"Your're not in a position to make any demands, remove your blades or I will remove them for you. Then we will have a nice friendly chat." he said he a bit of a harsh tone. He kept a save distance from him so he could react in time if he try anything.

by The Fear Mon Oct 28, 2013 12:25 pm

He began to undo his claws, "You would gain nothing from killing me, where as you would get what you want should you honor my only request." He said in a normal tone of voice, un-phased by his captors harsh tone.

Once he finished he stood up and gently threw the claws away from him. Giving distance between himself and the item, besides, it would take longer than it did putting them back on than it did taking them off.

by **Prism** Mon Oct 28, 2013 12:45 pm

"Pick them up and take them out of the room, then lock the door as you leave and don't open it unless I say so." As the guard moved to pick up the item Prism put up his white shield in front of him making sure he would stay safe and the shield was a strong one too as he had been holding it for sometime.

The claws were taken away and the two were left with unarmed in the room "I think I would gain a lot but would lose one of my numbers in doing so, but if that's what I must do then so be it. So you best talk fast as my patience is very limited and I am losing it fast." He said keeping the same tone in his voice

by The Fear Mon Oct 28, 2013 1:03 pm

"You speak as though I have taken one of your ranks, but you are sorely mistaken. And I cannot answer what I have not been asked, I cannot know the exact information you wish for unless you speak to me." he said calmly.

by **Prism** Mon Oct 28, 2013 1:15 pm

One, Prism through to himself "Then let me remind you of the one you poison and you tell me everything you know and I will see if any of it is useful, but lets start with why have you come down here?" Kept the same voice and tone but if this little game kept up the talking would be over.

by The Fear Mon Oct 28, 2013 1:28 pm

"Ah, what poison? I remember striking in fear, the acceptance of death, but no poison. I guarantee the mare was just in shock, and will be fine." he said with a slight grin, amused at how well that bluff worked.
"I was hired to map out these caves, for what reason I was unsure of until now. I encountered your patrol, and because I have not been in the city above for more than a few days, I thought that they were common cave bandits due to one of them showing a large amount of aggression towards me, which disciplined soldiers tend not to do." He said, going back into a the comfy position he was in when the door had opened. With his wings as cover.

by **Prism** Mon Oct 28, 2013 1:56 pm

It looks like someone may have over reacted but he was not taking any risks and let them believe it was still poison as he seams to be giving up his cards.

"And if we are not common cave bandits what are we then?" He asked questionable, maybe he knows nothing about what was going on but he could still be lying.

by The Fear Mon Oct 28, 2013 2:05 pm

"I do not know. Actions are far more organised here, and as I stated, I have only been here a few days. Obviously my employer wanted me to mark this place down too, which could only mean that you are... Rebels? Perhaps?" He said in an interested tone, realizing what he had not been told completely upon accepting this job.
"Cave bandits do not normally go for a capture anyway. Had I known such a result, I would not have acted the way I did."

by **Prism** Mon Oct 28, 2013 2:20 pm

Looks like he knows nothing and time to keep it that way. Prism laughed for a few moments "Rebels.... they have been making a mess ever since they used the tunnels to get around the damn city, don't know how to stay quiet, and looks like my business is going to be strongly affect by them showing up"

He walked around thinking as he needed to have a good story to back it up "Well you would be right normally but with what has happened we do like to question those that come to poke their nose in places were it doesn't belong. You have been the first one I have to worry about, so killing you would mean only more come looking for the rebels here and that means this nice little business I have set up will be affected and I do enjoy the money that is coming in and I do want to keep it that way" This wasn't too hard he was use to thinking under pressure and keeping a clear mind.

by The Fear Mon Oct 28, 2013 2:34 pm

Fear remained silent this time around, listening and watching. His words were clear and understandable, his movements, countered his words. At least to him they did. His walking back and fourth looked odd to someone who was highly cautious a minute ago, now he suddenly he acts calm and talks about business?

Fear couldn't see these words as being true, the patrol used what could be counted as sector code, or at least a shortened command. And the ones that took most of his gear looked very different from bandits.
There was no doubt about it, to him, these were rebels.
Fears expression did not change, he had not moved a muscle during and his captors speech. He wanted his assumption to be hidden.

by **Prism** Mon Oct 28, 2013 2:50 pm

"So Mr Bat what use can you be too me and keeping this little business of mine going because I could go through the long proses of making it look like you died in a cave in, as your death does need to look like an accident unlike the others." He turned to look at him squatting in his corner. Keeping up the same act he was doing.

by The Fear Mon Oct 28, 2013 2:53 pm

"You make words on the assumption that I know what you are doing here, to which I do not." He said quickly after.

by **Prism** Mon Oct 28, 2013 3:29 pm

"What services I offer to my clients doesn't really matter to the likes of you, but I am sure someone under the employment of Mr Blackwing must have some useful skills I do find it hard to believe that he would get someone that completely incompetent" he then gave the bat a bit of an evil grin.

"So are you incompetent and going to have to do some clean up or you going to give me a good reason to keep you alive and if any of them cross over with what I do then I am sure I can spare your life, because this will be your last chance." The last line he become very serious. This was it, he stick to the same story then he would get things sorted to make it look like one of the tunnels had caved in.

by The Fear Mon Oct 28, 2013 3:54 pm

"I am a mercenary, a hunter, a killer. My skills are varied and so are my uses, one of which is mapping as you know. I work for anyone who can be a benefit to myself and don't question why. I feel it is obvious what I do now, always living in danger can drive a being to such a life. Never being able to rest without the thought of being taken by a coward" He said quickly and without emotion.

by **Prism** Mon Oct 28, 2013 4:20 pm

It sounded like he was starting to get sick of living that life but it sounded almost like he was reading from a bit of paper and he needed to keep up this act.

"Spare the sob story. I have plenty of killers that I would trust more then yourself at this point" he let out a little laugh "Looks like your usefulness is slowly running out. Only other thing worth money around this place other then sex, weapons and supply's is information... now you got anything that would be use to myself or can get any?" He was working for Blackwing so maybe he could at lest get something and find out what he was getting up as they did need more information on him and other griffon movements, but he had to make it look like that was not what he wanted and have to make it look like he was after money.

by The Fear Mon Oct 28, 2013 4:39 pm

His life was fine so far, what he as actually getting bored of was this pony keeping up the circus act of 'Playing Evil'.
"Your 'Killers' are more like soldiers, you do not appear like one with a lust for currency and your act, though very good, cannot fool me. The signs are drawn to this conclusion, and I do not care who's side you are with. You are the same as any other, a possible employer, one I would prefer over your enemies." He said calmly, finally hoping to end the charade, as it is more danger to his sanity than much else in this situation.
"Now spare me the charade, as I am growing weary of it. If you want something from me, just say it."

by **Prism** Mon Nov 04, 2013 4:19 pm

This batpony clearly had picked up more then he had let on when he got him here so trying to hide they where rebels wouldn't work at this point and him working for the griffon Blackwing would be a risk that he didn't want to take.

There was other he needed to talk to before he could have him sorted out a that's if they felt the same way as him, he knew Silver never like to see ponies get hurt but this was war.

Prism powered up his horn "I think we are done talking, Guards open the door" With in seconds the door opened and Prism left with out saying anything else and the door closing and being closed and locked once more.

"No one goes in or comes out understand" He said to the guard that was there. Then he saw a other stallion standing there. "Scintillance what you doing here?" He said in a bit of a cold voice. This unicorns skills with magic was good but he was a stupid kid that seam to want to play too many games then work and was most likely to get someone killed or himself.

by Lance Mon Nov 04, 2013 4:51 pm

Scint came as soon as he heard that the undercity could have been compromised. also because he heard there was a bat pony and he really really really wanted to see one for the first time. he's been listening at the door for a while now since Prism said "nopony goes in or out," but the guard's orders didn't say anything to shove him off for listening at the door...

...but when that nocturnal avian mentioned Scanion Blackwing, things suddenly became a whole lot more serious. Speaking of serious, here stood was the most over-professional unicorn Scint ever met in his life, Steel Prism, A.K.A. Cap'n Prisy Pants, and somehow, he needed to get past him. unfortunately, that meant not ticking him off, which was totally against Lances' nature, but... Shade's counting on him for this. He gave a brief sigh, and then slowly, slowly, raised a hoof to salute Prism. although he looked almost as if the motion actually hurt him. "Cap'n... I mean... Captain Prism... I need to speak to that pony." Scintillance made a mental note to wash his mouth intensely after this.

by **Prism** Mon Nov 04, 2013 5:42 pm

Prism returned the salute as was accustom to do so but he could tell that Scintillance was not liking in doing so.

Prism gave him a long stare it was clear he was not happy with Scintillance being there. If he didn't do that quick save on his wording he would of got a quick black eye and been locked up for the next week. Last time he had used it he was lucky that Silvern was there.

He made sure it was safely our of ear shot of anyone "The only thing you need to do is stay away this is a command matter and if you do anything to affect the safety of the pony's down here you will share the same fate of our bat friend, I make myself clear" he had slowly go closer to Scintillance to the point he was very much in his personnel space.

by Lance Tue Nov 05, 2013 12:56 pm

Scint sighed... just how hard was Cap'n Prissy Pants going to have to make this for him? "yes... sir... I can understand where you're coming from, however, our "bat friend" is the very reason I became a rebel..." Scint hoped a form of sympathy might help. "if you had a chance to find out about the guy that took your eye, could have a chance to find him, would you let it slip past as well?" somewhere in the back of his head, Lance had a plaguing feeling he might have done something wrong, but this was a serious matter and he couldn't start doubting himself now.

by **Prism** Tue Nov 05, 2013 3:25 pm

He knows this bat pony, he was sure that Scintillance wasn't part of the group that found him or saw him as he come in what did he know, he didn't care about the eye comment that was not important at the moment but he wouldn't forget it. Prism gapped him by the vest and pulled him to one of the empty rooms that would .

"You best start talking, how do you know that bat pony!" If he could get anymore information on him then maybe this would help and why would Scintillance know someone that works for Griffon's and Blackwing no less.

by Lance Wed Nov 06, 2013 1:20 pm

GAH was all scint could could utter when Prism grabbed him. he wasn't really struggling against the grip; just followed along, comically repeating "Ow. Ow. Ow. Ow. Ow." nothing actually hurt about hi; he just felt the need to say it while getting awkward looks from any pony they trotted past.

finally after getting brought into the room, Scint finally spoke-other than 'Ow.' This was one of those rare moments where Scint was actually being serious. with his own personal dopey-twist"OK, let me rephrase that; I said that stallion was the reason I joined the rebels. I don't know him, but I know the overcooked chicken he works for. I have a bone to pick with Scanion Blackwing, and I've been scraping together whatever information I could about him, anything that could get me closer to putting a fancy yellow sword through his throat. That pony said "Blackwing" was his employer; I want to know what Blackwing's doing poking around these tunnels, and I want to know what he knows. Satisfied?" Scint was speaking the truth, but he knew he had to hold back a thing or few; he had to. some things are just too personal to him, and far too personal to his friends.

by **Prism** Wed Nov 06, 2013 5:06 pm

Prism listened, no one really knew who Blackwing really was. Prism had worked out he was not military as he was working outside of fort but clearly he was after the rebels so that made him very dangers and anyone that worked for him.

"So you have been eves dropping then, if so you would know he's only been here a few days. So at this point he would know very little about his employer and I have a feeling that anything we want on him will come at a cost and a high risk to the rebels. If I got the go head to execute him then you can talk to him before we do as it will not matter what he knows, till then I want to limit who he sees and what information he gets. I make myself clear!" he started at him for a few moments waiting to see what his answer was.

by Lance Wed Nov 06, 2013 10:10 pm

Scint let his gears turn quickly. "Well what if..." he used his disguise spell and spoke to the prisoner? bat ponies have some harsh trouble seeing in the day, hardly likely they'd keep their eyes on a high-powers light spell, and he wasn't as recognisable with the spell anyway! "No wait, no, that's... that's my secret weapon... well maybe if you... stepped in to question Fear for me? if you're going to limit who he knows about, obviously, he already knows your face? "but...no... I can't get you involved in personal findings... darnit.... I..." am going to have to do things myself. Scint wasn't quite happy with this result, but if defying Prism's orders would be what he needed to do, then so be it. "alright, fine, made yourself clear." heavy hoofs took scint to the door of the room "Best military decision of the year, execute all your prisoners without trial or asking the appropriate questions. My best lead's just sitting right there, and I'm going to have to sit around and hope I find something else on my own. thanks a lot, Pris'... though, a though jumped into his head and broke his stream of ranting. an out-of-nowhere thing, he turned his head back to Prism and change his tone of voice as if he wasn't just complaining about Prism's ability to make smart decisions.. "Say, whatever happened to your eye anyway?

by **Prism** Thu Nov 07, 2013 5:25 am

Prism watch as it clearly looked like Scintillance was more talking to himself and have part of the talk out loud then he started to talk to him.

"Maybe you should hope that we do execute him then I don't care what he knows so you will be about to talk to him, but I am going to talk to Sliver and Silvern and if they want to keep him alive I want to limit what he knows. If that is the case you can tell me what you want to know and if it is fine I will ask it but till then the door stays locked for the safety of the rebellion." He got more angry at Scintillance as he talked he was not about to put everything at risk because of somepony's personal vendetta.

He then got close again he was not happy that is had come up once again "I lost it trying to save as many pony's as I could from Trottingham" He wasn't about to give details, he didn't needed them hopefully this would stop his line of questioning.

by Lance Thu Nov 07, 2013 1:25 pm

Scint didn't take long to reply, "yeah I figured you lost it in the war but I'm just curious as to ho-oh. oh wow... Scint acked up a bit. Prism getting so up close and personal wasn't bothering him at all; it was the scent of a sweatty unicorn that could use a good bath. he continued, "Bro, do you even brush? shower, now." he then tossed Prism a green shower-towel. "I'm serious, if I can't put up with that smell, I can't imagine how long Silvern could last. 'sides... I think you could use a few calm moments at the shower. Scint could only pray this could work...

by **Prism** Fri Nov 08, 2013 11:13 pm

He was happy the subject was off his eye, "We don't need to be wasting clean water and I suggest you stop running that mouth because someone may end up removing it. Your a stallion not a foal so start acting like one." He pulled away "Now I have a job to do to keep very one safe, so if you get out of my way and go play your childish games some where else."

by Lance Sun Nov 10, 2013 10:22 am

yeeeaaaaaaaah Scint knew that already. It's not that he wanted to act like a total foal, but actually yes he wants to act like a total fal. preferable to an uptight fancy spoon up-the-flank like Prisypants. nonetheless, Prism's heading on out, and now Scint on the clock. "right, sure, alright Pris. But again, I'm not kidding about that shower. Do us all a favour, would you? you smell like you've had your flank kicked out of a hospital and dragged all the way to the undermarket through sewer water. Well, later... Knight Cap'n Prisy Pants!" Scint immediately took a sprint burst as far away and fast as he could from Prism, and head for the exit to the building... of course he'd come back once the coast was clear of Prism. but there was still that painful gut feeling that he missed something... something... green.... but oh well, it was probably nothing.

by **Prism** Sun Nov 10, 2013 8:19 pm

Prism had started to walk away when Scintillance started to talking to Prism again, he had a job to do but then he heard what Scintillance was staying as he walked away. He stopped and turned around and he was already running away.

"YOU BETTER RUN YOU LITTLE SHIT, YOU JUST WAIT TILL I GET MY HOOVES ON YOU!" There was no point going after him there was stuff he need to sort out.

by Lance Tue Nov 12, 2013 12:58 am

Scint really wanted to hold back a laugh-he really did-bbut he didn't, and was just laughing his escape away. Once the path was clear of Knight Cap'n Yelly Prisy Pants, Scint started making his way towards that bat-pony's holding area. he wanted to figure out a plan of sorts to get to him, but first he'd need to analyse the scene. in other words, he's just going to "wing it." ultimate goal: get some quality time with the prisoner. last he saw the scene, there was one unarmed pony guarding the door, and another one had an axe. But as he trotted to the scene, he- oh I'ma just cut to the chase, is there anything different there while Scint is walking towards it or are those rebel NPC's proper statues like the soldiers they're expected to be?

by Rebel NPCs Sat Nov 23, 2013 10:51 am

A pegasus was the only one left to guard the cell, standing in shining armor before the door like a statue, never faltering in his vigilance.

Okay, let's be honest. His armor was patchwork like everypony else's in the Rebellion, and was not looking forward to spending hour after hour watching an empty corridor. But for now, after only minutes of this duty, he was vigilant indeed. After all, there was at least this one unicorn - Scintillance was it? - who had some interest in the prisoner, so there was a possibility that he would try something. But he better tried earlier than later, while the guard wasn't too bored yet.

by Lance Sat Nov 23, 2013 3:11 pm

With the pegasus coming into view, Scint had the perfect plan; improvise. although he really was slightly surprised. He trotted casually and ever so slowlytowards the pegasus, calling out, "what, only one guard? Pris has got to be crazy not to leave at least three ponies watching over the cell. unless you're one of those elite guys who know their halberd from their pole-arm. ah Shade, how useful you could have been right about now, he thought to himself. and then an idea actually hit him... he started conjuring his Martyr, and continued his casual trot. He finished his thought, Take the bait, flanker...

by Rebel NPCs Fri Nov 29, 2013 1:12 pm

"I suppose he didn't expect anypony here to become violent against their comrades", the guard answered angrily, drawing his own sword and taking a defensive stance, but not moving from the door. "Put that away, or you'll be the next one in a cell." He silently wondered how anypony in the rebellion would even consider drawing a weapon on a comrade because of this prisoner. At least he thought it was a weapon: it was too bright to clearly recognize, or to even recognize the stallion by its side, if his identity hadn't been clear already.

by Lance Fri Nov 29, 2013 1:28 pm

Scint kept walking, slowly turning his gaze to one of a madpony, staring with a grin too wide to be called sane... and then burst out laughing, dispelling his Martyr as he metaphorically laughed his flank off. "Ahahaha, man, the look on your face... I'm sorry, I just can't "do" daemon faces without bursting up a laugh, not my... hehe, not my style at all. y'know I envy those who could do that? I just don't get it... how can anyone do a creepy face like that and still keep a straight face. Oh where are my manners... never got your name yet, huh?" be friendly; easiest thing in the world. in Scint's world at least.

by Rebel NPCs Fri Nov 29, 2013 1:54 pm

The pegasus finally failed to keep a straight face as he assaulted by an unexpected amount of weirdness. Not sure what to make of the situation, he kept his sword out, but loosened up a bit. He was still annoyed though, and didn't mind showing that. "You don't need my name to simply walk away. You have nothing to do here."

by Lance Sat Nov 30, 2013 2:42 am

Scint kept a knowing smile up, but slowly shook his head left to right. "you kidding? I have everything to do here! besides talking to you, you said it yourself: 'you'll be the next one in a cell." Scint turned his head towards the very door the guard was... um... guarding. "behind there is the rebellion's only key to going further, it's our first real chance to get some real dirt on the griffins... and Prism wants to kill him and throw us back in the dark. As much as we don't get along, this is really one of his biggest mistakes. He was almost getting somewhere when he questioned the guy earlier, but he screwed up and gave up just because he got angry. Scint's tone slowly progressed to something more serious... but he broke his seriousness almost instantly with his next words, "Oh and besides, I'd rather know the names of the people I owe.

by Rebel NPCs Sat Dec 07, 2013 12:26 pm

"You won't owe me, because I won't let you in", the guard said gruffly, still not moving from his spot. "I'm sure the captain knows what he's doing if he hasn't gotten his rank for nothing. I'm not disobeying orders because the first light bulb walking by thinks he knows better."

by Lance Mon Dec 09, 2013 12:48 am

Scint was going to just knock this pony out with a frying pan, but he decided to put that plan aside for two reasons: one, he's saving that pan for Shade, and two, this guard just brought up the subject of what sets Scint apart from Prism. that is to say, a lot. also to say that it's something that Lance wanted to say to at least some pony for a while now. "then how about you take a few seconds and stop seeing me as a lightbulb walking, and start seeing me as the first pony who isn't half blind. Your captain got his rank from fighting in a war; the very same one that took his eye. For all I know, all he learned is how to kill before he or another pony was killed. brilliant. But we're not fighting a war here; if all we do is kill after kill, do you really think that's going to solve anything? mindless bloodshed is already the reason Equestria is the way it is now; all we did to retaliate was fight back, and Pris helped with that. now take a second to realize that you're about to let the same expertise that brought Manehattan to ruins to decide what we're going to do with out first prisoner. The bat pony in there knows something, I'm sure of it, Pris already found out he was working for Blackwing. We already know that pony's not hiding anything; so why did Captain Prism storm out of there before asking any helpful questions, with his mind set on convincing Silver Lining to let him kill the sod before he said anything we can use? Prism's judgement is as blind as a one eyed stallion... and check out who's wearing the eye-patch. He's going to bring us down the same war path that ruined Equestria and made the princesses flee... the only difference is that this time, we don't have an actual army to save what scraps we have left." Scint had his teeth gritted by the time he was finished. It wasn't a light subject for him, to talk about what made him respect and resent Prism so much, respect being a loosely used term. He could only wonder how off tangent he could have gotten in his outburst. he tried to gather his thoughts before finishing, "I'm not sure if you saw him earlier, but essentially we have a chance to get past some of that bloodshed, and all Prism saw was a mute griffon soldier shaped like a pony that he wanted dead. Follow him into battle, I have no arguments in that; he knows how best to keep his ponies alive when swords and steel are flying, but take a moment and think if that's the same pony you want to follow when when the only thing flying is you on your wings."

The guard had to listen to him go on yet again "Anypony ever tell you, you talk to much. If you don't like what hes doing go tell someone who will listen. He clearly has a plan and I am not here to start questioning it." He the took a deep breath "Now you can shut up as your giving me a headache or even better go away" He said rubbing his head.

Scint felt insulted, there he was, giving enough of a faff to explain to some pony that he's missing out on the bigger picture, and he just doesn't care. "well I'm not going to shut up, and I'm not going away until I fix the mistake Prism's making. For all we know, killing that pony would make the griffons suspicious of his disappearance and lead them here.

This was going to be one of them very long days, why did it have to be him here. "Well then that's a talk you need to have with Captain as he is the one that will he making the choice not me as I am not about to start braking the rules for one very out spoken stallion. Now go before I get someone to remove you."

Scint's right eye twitched a bit, as this guard was turning into a real pain in the rear. He suddenly gained height as he regained the "proud and formal" posture he abandoned from his canterlot days, back straight, head high, eyes glaring, brow frowning and no more playing it nice. there was no slack in his stance, like a rich pony in Canterlot might have looked down on a poor pony, with that dark hint of self pride, knowing there was something he had, and this stallion didn't... that that was a bothering to look at a bigger picture, and not just following orders blindly. he had a soul.
He glanced at the guard and gave a quick, "Fine." before turning and walking away with every intention to come back.

He waited some time before heading back, wanting the guard to be less aware that it was him, and to get anywhere near that he had to wait quite some time, when he felt it was an okay time he returned.

He tossed a 1 bit coin to the opposite side of the hallway hoping to attract the guards eyes away from his direction. If that didn't work, too bad. He was still going to approach the guard, he was still going to see what he had on him to try knock out the guard, and he was still going to see that he got into the cell. He was going to hit the guard wth a bat, but a frying pan would have to be close enough. He began to quietly approach the guard, getting ready to hesitantly levitate to pan around the guard to knock him out should he be seen. If he wasn't seen then a good old swing of the weapon will do, a pan could hardly kill him so he shouldn't get into that much trouble.

The guard yawned standing still got very boarding a few others had walked past not nothing of note had happened. Then he heard something hit the floor sound like something metal hitting the floor and bouncing around.

He turned to look at it to see what was there or if someone was coming, then he heard hoof steps coming from the other way and turned to look, but all he felt was something very hard hitting him in the side of the head and the floor rushing to him very fast.

The guard had been knocked out cold.

Scint now stood over the unconsious pony, slightly surprised that that actually just worked, quietly whispering to himself, whatever helped me actually get this right... Thank youuuuuu~" Lance then picked at the less-than-conscious guard's pockets until he found the key to the door, and opened it; he had no time to waste.

Lance was still attempting to be careful, however, as he made sure his entrance was quick, and locked himself in the room-from the outside-with some remote telekinesis. he left the key in the door on the other side as well, so he'd be able to find it and just turn it the other way. If things got hairy-which he hoped they didn't-even if he died, the door would remain locked-he had no idea what this bat pony was capable of. but from listening in of Prim's encounter, he wasn't too violent, and rather talkative too.

"yoohoo, Mister nocturnal bat-like pony sir? Thought I'd pop in and say hello. I'm unarmed, you're unarmed... still feel like talking?"
