-upstairs-

”I’m Flitter, and this is my sister Cloud Chaser. Likewise a pleasure to work with you both!”

Says Flitter, nodding to Altara and Tindolas politely, her sister seems to dance in place for a moment before stepping up.

”You’re a changeling right? Does that mean you can make yourself look like me?”

She asks with an excited grin before turning her attention to Tindolas

”Or can you turn into him? Speaking of you, can you breathe fire? Oh! or lightning? Can you breathe lightning?! Gah!”

She yelps and falls onto her haunches  has her sister bites onto her tail and yanks her backwards sharply.

“Calm down! you’re being rude! Sorry about her…” .


-main room-

“Was one of the first to join actually!”

Says redwing with a laugh.

“Me and the chaps who started it go way back. Met ‘em over drinks a few months back and decided to join up with their little plan after gobbing for a bit”.

The young guards pony rubs the back of his neck awkwardly.

“I’m not actually a PART of it myself. I’m just off duty at the moment. Private Rail Line of the Fifth Legion. I’m just here to support my cousin.”

He says gesturing to the white unicorn. For her part, Snowdust just smiles.

“I joined just today myself. Until now I’ve mostly just been working on my own.”


-Guest room-

roll result:

The little dragon jumps slightly when you speak up and regards you for a moment, a mix of hope and wariness in his eyes but he says nothing. The doe looks up calmly and you can clearly see frustration and helplessness on her features..

“I’d welcome your help child, but I wouldn’t know where to begin. There’s nothing physically wrong with her, no poisons or injuries or illnesses, but she won’t wake up from this fitful sleep. It must be some kind of magic, but I can’t sense anything but her own in her. Her internal magic is just going haywire!”

"Oh, well it's nice to meet you anyhow." Chance replies to the Rail Line and nods to Redwing and then asks Snowdust, "Oh? And what kind of work were you doing?"

Altara smiles gently, before spending a few moments shifting into Cloud Chaser's form.

((Also, Empathetic check on Flitter to see if she seems against this at all, ignore the following if Altara can tell that Flitter would not appreciate such actions.))

Imitating Cloud Chaser's voice, she pleads to Flitter, "But sis! He's an actual dragon! And how cool would it be if he breathed lightning! Like, KSH! KSH KSH! ZAPZAPZAP!" She emphasizes the sounds by rearing up and punching the air with her forehooves.

"Well, sorry to disappoint, but I'm the fire kind. Bit more useful in my line of work, hahaha," chuckles Tindalos. His more casual demeanour was an opposite of how grumpy and cautious he was during the earlier meeting...

"I see..." I bow my head. "I'm afraid I don't know much that could help. If it was a sickness of the Soul, I could offer a prayer, but I'm not for magic." I pause, and then shyly continue. "Though... mostly what I meant is, do you need anything like blankets, maybe food or other items? I can assist in that way at least."

empathetic:

Cloud Chaser blinks as she rises back to her hooves and inspects the transformation closely. Seemingly satisfied, she gives a big grin towards her sister.

“You should listen to her sis! She seems pretty smart, in my humble opinion!”

Flitter lets out a long-suffering snort through her nose.

“Now there’s two of them, isn’t that just what I need? Duchess have mercy on me...”

Her tone is thick with sarcasm, though her playful smirk takes most any bite out of it. Cloud Chaser laughs at her sisters response before her ears perk up and she turns her attention to Tindolas

“Fire’s still cool! Hey, you said you were a hunter right? In the Dragonfang Mountains I figure?”


-main room-

“Likewise”

Private Rail says with a quick salute. Snowdust takes a sip from the mug in front of her before responding.

“Nothing overly noteworthy. I mostly just chased down bandits or petty criminals plaguing some of the outlying towns, along with the occasional monster.”


-Guest room-

The doe nods in understanding as the young dragon returns his attention back to the diamond dog.

“hmm… in that case could you please bring some cold water and a clean towel?”

"Of course." I nod to the doe, and give an empathetic look to the dragon, before retreating back out the door. I look around, trying to judge where best to find clean towels and cold water, and then head there.

Lead Up:
Appearance:
'Cloud Chaser' chuckles lightly, before quickly shifting back to her normal pegasi form. She politely listens to Tindalos, and when he mentions The Caldera she thinks of what she knows of that.

-upstairs-

Caldera:

Cloud Chaser thinks for a moment before shaking her head slowly. The squire meanwhile is practically hopping in her seat, clapping her hooves together giddily.

"Oh! Oooh! I know! The Caldera is a region in the Dragonfang mountains characterized by a bowl shaped geological formation rather like a crater formed typically by volcanic eruptions! The one near Terra Firma specifically is known for its diverse range of inhabitants, including some usually only seen further in the Dragon Lands such as Wyvern, Thunder Birds, and Rock Eaters! ...ah... haha...sorry. My Lady often quizzes me on subjects such as these."

Says the squire as she sheepishly curls in on herself.


-Main room-

The chatter in the hall goes quiet for a moment as someone can be heard raising their voice from within the room Dame Rose entered, though what was actually said is muffled beyond comprehension by the door. Whoever shouted sounds female and vaguely hysterical, and distinctly not like the knight.


-Guest room-

Remembering seeing a water pump outside during your examination and a group of servants who'd pass out glasses of water and a towel to those who finished their physical challenge, or help drag those who collapsed or otherwise couldn't move anymore on their own out of the way into the shade, you head out to the courtyard.

Outside you find a group of ponies dismantling much of the obstacle course used earlier. Off to the side you can see a small group of servants tending to a small table laid out with food and water for the workers. They appear to be using the pump for drinking water so you assume it's clean.

There is a pail sitting unused by the pump.

Chance looks at her companions and raises an eyebrow quizzically, wondering if this is a normal occurrence or if someone is going to check out what happened. Either way, she's pretty sure it wouldn't be her place to check it out, as much as she's curious, due to her just having joined.

"Got it in one." replies the dragon with a nod. "The Caldera's my favourite hunting grounds. Lots of creatures, but not the all the ones you'd expect to spot in the heart of the Dragonlands. Those nasties would tear you right up."

I head over to the the pump. "Excuse me, is it alright if I take this?" I ask the nearest servant. "There is a sick po- sorry, Diamond Dog inside, and I'm to fetch Water and towels.... also, do you have any towels I can take?"

Appearance:
Altara's eyes widen, impressed, and she says incredulously, "You have hunted such predators? Your skills must be quite impressive indeed, though I suppose that is evident in your being chosen for this select group."
She turns toward the pegasi sisters, and asks, "And speaking of skills, might I be correct in assuming yours are...somewhat associated with those shiny boots on your hooves?" She smirks, before adding, "Those certainly bring new meaning to shoe-shine, least."

-upstairs-

Cloud Chaser and Flitter share a look for a moment before turning their attention back to Tindolas.

"Don't suppose you've heard of somepony wandering around in there trapping some of the beasts and carting them away would you?"

Asks Flitter hopefully. Cloud Chaser blinks at Altara's remark, rising up into a sudden crane stance with a quick flap of her wings.

"Well, they add a little extra oomph to what we already do."


-outside-

One of the servants near the pump, a young, pretty in a plain way, earth pony mare with a pastel green coat and raven black mane turns to you when you speak up. She happily invites you to help yourself to the water and pail before flustering somewhat at the mention of the sick diamond dog.

"Oh goodness, what to do...? Oh! Wait! I think the laundry from this morning should be dry by now! Just wait here a moment, I'll be back with a towel for you before you know it, fresh off the line!"

And with that she's off, galloping through the dining room and up the stairs. She's surprisingly quick for such a little pony.


-Guest room-

The others at the table seem as surprised as you or anyone else at the table, with the notable exception of Snowdust. The petit mare instead has a slightly smug smile on her face.

"If you'd seen who it was that went in there you wouldn't be so surprised! Marchioness Ivory Rose  and Marchioness Ruby Rose are in there! Honestly I'm surprised it took this long, those two sisters are infamous for never being able to be in the same room for more than a few seconds without fighting."

You see a maid tear through the dining room and go upstairs at the speed of panic attack. Snow and Rail don't seem to notice her due to their seating arrangements and Redwing just shakes his head at the sight.

I watch her run off, surprised, but then set about filling the pail. In the meantime, I cast a general look around, and wait.

Appearance:
Altara 'oohs,' impressed, but takes a step back from the stanced pony with a lighthearted chuckle. Not that she thought that Cloud Chaser would strike her intentionally, or even unintentionally, just the sheer consequences of that metal touching her...it's better to be safe than bursting into flames.

-upstairs-

"We've been trying to track them down for a month now. Its why we wanted to join the guild to begin with, to get someone to help us."

Cloud Chaser drops from her stance after demonstrating a few kicks at nothing.

"They came by our town with their show a while back and went on their way. Thing is one of the kids back home went missing around the same time. We think one of 'em might've foalnapped 'em!"


-dining room-

"Eh...sorta?  Usually it's pretty quiet. Not often that everyone's here at the same time ya know? That sheila there's just pretty high-strung. Gets a thought in her head an just lets it run off with her. Gonna worry herself into an early grave she is."

There's a moment of silence before something comes banging down the stairs. A big ball of fabric falls at the base in a lump. After a moment and a muffled groan the pile of laundry sprouts four pastel green hooves and scrambles blindly towards the door bumping the occasional table along the way.

Just as the awkward silence in the room seems to be reaching its peak something happens, the door to the side room opens slowly and a pair of unicorn mares slowly walk out. One leaning against the other and trying to get her soft sobbing under control.

Both of them are wearing fine jewelry made to look like vines and leaves of green and gold. The both share coats of the deepest black and striking emerald eyes. Were it not for their mane colors, one an impeccable white, the other a deep blood red, they would look identical. The red sibling supports the distraught white while a group of six guards swarm out of the room and flank the two, escorting them outside in stoic watchful silence.

Everyone in the room seems uncomfortable with what they just saw, though Snowdust in particular looks like she might've just seen Discord and the Duchess doing the tango from her hanging jaw.


-outside-

Things seem mostly uneventful outside as you fill the pail and wait' by far the most interesting is a guard, mostly out of armor and helping to clean up, trying to woo a young maid who seems genuinely oblivious to his affections though perhaps not as much as the guard himself is to the wedding band on her horn.

In short  order a pile of towels staggers drunkenly into the courtyard and over to you on pastel green hooves. After a moment the young maid's head manages to poke out of the stack.

"I got you a towel, I wasn't sure what kind you needed so I just brought them all! I'm not too late am I? Is the diamond dog ok? I tried to hurry as much as I could! I'm sorry!"

I smile a subdued smile at the courting imbecile, and ten look at the tower in surprise as it approaches. "I only needed a few..." I say as it is placed in front of me. "Yes, I'm sure she is still quite alright. The doe, I suppose the head nurse, is looking after her. Here," I spread my wings and flap my way to the top of the pile, and pull a portion of the stack off the top. "These will be fine.... but you may leave the rest here, just in case." I smile, and land and begin to walk away, but stop. "Oh... what's your name, by the way?"

-upstairs-

Cloud Chaser and Flitter look to each other for a moment before responding in turn.

"It's possible, yeah, but that doesn't really sound like Rumble to me..."

"It's possible they had nothing to do with Rumble disappearing at all, but this is our only lead right now and we have to get him back no matter the details of how exactly he vanished."

"At the very least tracking that group down might give us some answers, even if they might just be 'this isn't it'"


-dining room-

Snowdust continues to gape like a fish.

"I dunno, but if those sheila's are really like the little lady says, must be big to get 'em playin' nice."


-outside-

"Oh, that's a relief!"

She says with a sigh before walking over to a nearby table and shifting slightly, the pile of laundry sliding off her like a small avalanche to its new resting place. Relieved of her burden, she turns and curtseys to you.

"My name is, um ... Meadow Dream. It's a pleasure to meet you!"
