Welcome to today's episode of DELUSION.
Previously, our heroes fought their way into a castle on the edge of somewhere. Unfortunately, they were too late to stop the Worshippers of She Who Will Render All Things Moot, so they move forward to stop the damage from spreading.
Will our heroes have the strength and courage to defeat the enemies that remain?

Rushing to the source of the disturbance, our heroes run into their first wall, only to take a left and meet their first enemies standing in the way today.
W.Paladin: "Oy, looks like we aren't going to miss out on the fun today." Says a lanky gryphon in armor.
T.Mage: "They got past the Zebra? They might be pretty tough." Responds a small pegasus.

You're not the Narrator!

>>485278
"Nuh uh!" Yells the little Pegasus. "We're so tough, they couldn't think about sending us first. There wouldn't be any fun for the others."
>>485279
"Well, it's not like I like beating on cuties. But it's our job, so I'll have to, you know? Nothing personal, unless you start fighting back."
Cantibeal gets a +1 against the Paladin for 2 turns.
"Hey, let's take care of them before the boss comes in. Maybe we'll get a raise!" The little pegasus yells, while hopping like an excited Corgi.
Battle start.

The pegasus impacts the gryphon with an audible pomf. She looks like she's about to fall asleep right there.
>>485285
You get so distracted, you think back to your childhood and see a pinata flying through the air. In your hurried desire for candy, you take a swing with your mace, only to connect early with the gryphon paladin.
You've made quite a raucus. Enough to awaken the beast that was napping in the room next door. He's a pretty big Minotaur.

>>485287
You struck too early and he sidesteps this time.
>>485288
You realize you should have spent a little more time on it. It looks like a dad holding his little girl.
He looks pretty mad at all this. He's trying to hide his anger, but that only makes it more visible. He then turns around at his subordinates. "I just wanted a nap. Was that so hard you two? You couldn't even defeat these two? Why do we even pay you."
"We was just going easy on them!" Yells the little pegasus.
"It's not sporting to end a fight so fast." Replies the gryphon.
"See that clock over there? I know both of you clocked in. It's work time, not fun time."
He helps them up, and it looks like this fight won't be such a cakewalk.

You come with such speed that both you and the Gryphon seem to vanish, only to reappear with the gryphon in a compromised position, at your mercy.
>>485303

>>485302
You throw your shield off. and try your best to catch your breath. In the meantime, you see the little pegasus call the Minotaur a little filly.

She does.
She then starts banging you over the head with it. She packs a mean little puch for such a small body.
>>485314
You are on top of her. Completely. Any direction she looks, hears, or smells, it's you.She moves her legs and wings, but they only manage to tickle you.

She can't respond after you bellyflopped onto her and left an indentation on the ground.

Guess they thought she got what was coming to her. The Minotaur tosses you a key and points to the next room.
Who knows what awaits in the next room?

[Pause]
Reaching the top of the stairs, you see that the true zenith of the Ziggurat is protected by a final room, enclosed in all sides. You can make out the sounds of a few hidden agents.
Above the stairs, all the way at the end of the room and at the only visible point of light, you see her, the Changeling Queen who has started all this!
"Fools, it is too late! I will summon he who will render all things Moot and steal his power! He will come for his prize and fall for my trap!"
>>489508
The stone lets you transform into your heroic alter-ego. Just say "Belief is Power!" and head in to stop the monsters.
>>489509
>>489510
Dare you enter this dark area then? They've prepared, and they are waiting for you.

>>489512
A light shines around you, and when it dissipates, you find yourself before a large, dark area, with a sinister horsebug laughing at the end of it. Time to put your training to the test.
>>489513
Watch your step! You can make out a changeling holding his spear up with a big smile right as he swings it at you! Get out of the way! Roll d10.
>>489514
It's a felt doll that has seen better days that walks out of your portal. It stands tall and salutes you. It's ready to fight for you.
>>489515
Get in there, but be careful!

>>489517
You're much more cautious than the other one that went in, and it helps that your doll is the one being attacked after it ran into a black thing. You see a small glint of metal rapidly move back. Roll for the Doll to evade, then roll for your action.
>>489518
He gets a good hit in. Do you manage to grab him and not something else?

The doll moves around the bolt like it wasn't even there, exploding and sending the poor CHangeling against the wall.

Everyone can see that there are a few more inside.

That poor changeling couldn't do much ganging up with your mace coming down on his head.

He's not out yet, and manages to dodge your attacks. Your doll, on the other hoof, doesn't seem to have much more in him. You can see some stuffing coming out.
>>489532
I didn't know you could be so cruel. The poor thing cries out for its momma after you break his hoof that shield was attached too.

"Enough! You will not stop me from becoming the King of the Changelings!" Shouts the Changeling Queen. Lifting her wings into the air, it filters it like a beautiful prism, only to be blocked out as she uses her telekinesis to seal the exit with a large boulder. [1d4]
>>489534
The blast trips him up, just as he had grabbed the bow.
>>489535
He sees your spin and expertly rolls along with it, offering the butt of his spear to your chest.

>>489541

Well, you sure showed me. You also showed that Changeling what the bottom of your hoove looks like as it approaches his face at Mach 1.
>>489545
You scuff your dress a bit as you fall, but your doll seems to have uneven hooves made out of iron because it pummels the poor changeling into unconsciousness.
>>489546
What have you done!? You just stabbed Lin!
>>489547
Your magic finds and heals El Caballo Fuerte, but the light show it puts on shows you a terrible sight, Dio Gaga standing over an injured Vile Lin. Better get to her real fast!

You lift that boulder with the Strength of 9 Bulls, just in time to see Vile Lin strike Dio Gaga in the back! What is wrong with her! And the Changeling, he used this chance to get up.
>>489551
When you turn around, you're blinded by a light and feel a searing pain behind you.
>>489552
The Bow Changeling is already OUT, so I'll presume you attack the nearest target, the Shield Changeling. Sorry if I was unclear.
You chuck the dead Changeling at the one with a Shield, but he's able to block.
Covered in gore, all that you can hear is "brother" before you punch him as he lowered the shield.

>>489567
Fuerte beats you to the King and you can barely cover your face from the impact.
>>489566
It's a terrible sight to behold. It was not until now that the Changelings understood how terrible and righteous the Warriors of the Light could be.
The King looks at you from his position on the floor, the body and spirit utterly defeated.
"It's you, you were the Lord I was summoning, wasn't it? I'm sorry, I guess my offering wasn't enough to trick you, was it?"
The three remaining Changelings drop their weapons and bow to each of you. It seems you've all managed to find yourselves with a few new minions for your next adventure.

This week, on Delusion Quest.
Our intrepid heroes venture towards a secluded town. Their services have been requested by the local baron, hearing word of their great deeds against the Changeling King and its forces. What terrible things await them here?
Meanwhile, in an adjacent area in Los Caballos,
A teenage filly looks onto the cosplaying crowds, a sea of color in an otherwise monotone city. She might have joined them, if she wasn't being under the watch of the corporate day-care facility, since she had to take the day off so she could get a checkup done later today. For the moment, she can only stare at the crowds and her reflection. There are many little colts and fillies here, with a few passing employees and a Gryphin care-taker.
Lemon, what articles of clothing does she have? Who does she want to talk to?

You catch Fuerte giving you some odd looks.
>>502007
You try to hum along with the Sister, but she stops suddenly every so often and hums a different part of the tune, or a different tune altogether, making it hard to 'sing' along.
Before you lies a Wagon, with a rather irate Donkey dressed in bright orange clothing.
"It's about time, I was starting to worry…" he says as he looks at his watch and a few other directions. "I was worried my funds might not have gotten me what I wanted, but I can tell they sent you, so I might as well accept it."
>>502014
Looks like you weren't planning on going back to school today. That definitely isn't your school uniform.
You look back, and see the Gryphin lady smile and start to approach you. Roll a d10.
"Did you want to be out there with all those other children?" She asks. "Look over there, they're playing some tabletop games. Have you played those before?"

He grumbles and gives you a cold stare.
"If you're sent by them, then you should have already been informed, but I'll reiterate." He coughs a little, takes a deep breath, and falls to his knees.
"PLEASE, help us! The dead have risen and they're terrorizing my people. How can we go on with such a thing happening!?"

"Well, it's a bit of pretend and planning. Look at those three over there." She points to a Gryphon sitting in front of an Earth Pony and a Unicorn, but there are lots of other groups around them. "They're probably using those new books, questing by numbers, but when I played, we did things differently. Do you want to try it out?"

"But the dead, they aren't staying dead. It's so, it's so… inconvenient. Please do something, I don't want to have to deal with them anymore."
"Well, it's a bit of pretend and planning. Look at those three over there." She points to a Gryphon sitting in front of an Earth Pony and a Unicorn, but there are lots of other groups around them. "They're probably using those new books, questing by numbers, but when I played, we did things differently. Do you want to try it out?"

You try waving at them from your day-care prison, but it looks like they don't see you.
"Sorry," says the Gryphon lady, "we're tasked with keeping an eye on you, can't let you out without them. We have a table over here, I can show you how it's done."
"But first, I have a question to ask. What's your favorite color?"
You can NOT pick Blue, Purple, Gold, or White, and Red. Those were taken.
>>502039
He points you towards town and mentions that they seem to be guarding a particular area, but they are patrolling the rest of the town.
Medinia is still locked up at the day care facility.

She offers a rather solemn laugh.
"Well, sort of. When you bury the dead, you expect them to stay that way, no matter how much you want them back."
>>502054
You detect the tone in her voice, and help not just calm her down, but accept some of life's less kind parts. She seems to smile in earnest now.
"Excuse me a moment, sorry about this." She turns around, takes a deep breath, and yells.
"ADVENTURERS!"
Instantly, the town is depopulated. Windows are closed, little colts are brought back inside, and what was once a lively town seems to have frozen in time. She turns back to you.
"Just head down the main street and you'll find the one responsible. But please, don't be too hard on the un-living. They don't really mean it."
She takes off back, leaving you there. You can hear a few moans of the undead. Roll a d10, both of you.
>>502060
You take a seat, she reaches into her bags, and you can see a bright light coming out of them. She takes it out, the shine being almost blinding. When you finally open your eyes, you see that you are wearing the clothing from your favorite show, Dogram.
Pick what type of clothes are they?
1. A classy business suit
2. Metal body armor
3. A mechanic's uniform
4. OTHER You decide

Looks like it passed your ears, but Fuerte managed to listen in on something.
As you both head towards the noise, you see an undead stallion yelling something. "Vegetable soup, good for whatever ails you! Just 2 bits for a bowl and drink!"
>>502072
"Medinia, call in the Dogram! We've got wind of a Brobdingnagian attack!"
Suddenly, you see a giant, armored Gryphon land on top of a building, smashing most of it. With it are two massive Pegasi that dwarf the buildings near them
"Remember, the new code word is 'Belief is Power'! Hurry up and call it!"

The stallion sees you and starts waving.
"Hey, over here, get yourselves the best bowl of vegetable soup in the valley! Fresh from my own farmplot!"
>>502089
There are several others nearby, but they all seem to be busy. One that is barely more that a skeleton is sweeping, there is another one picking up trays. There are a few others, but they are all doing normal 'living' things.

"Of course, but just because I'm dead don't mean I can't work. Well, take a second job in this case. Even after passing away and being buried under it, I still can't leave my farm to rot away like that. Worked it too hard and none of the kids stayed to keep it up. Can't say that I blame them, but it's my farm, you know?"
"Say, what brings you here? And while you answer, buy a bowl for you and your lady friend."

"J.. Junebug?!" I gasped at its stature rubbing my eyes and my glasses to see clearly.
I then look at the giant gryphon destroying the city.
"Whats happening?! Where am I?! What should I do?!" I close in to Junebug shaking a bit at the idea of me being a part of something that is both grand and frightening.

It shrugs, as it is so degraded that it doesn't have vocal chords any more.
It notices your uniform, though, and offers you the customary bow that you offer to members of the clergy.
>>502099
The soup looks rather thick and gooey, but you can tell its warm, and those carrots and beets are inviting.
"Most of us came back as us, is the best way I can put it. Like we just woke up from a heavy nap/ Thing is, when you wake up from a nap, there's still work to be done and we just went back to doing it. Say, you wouldn't happen to be looking for the lass who brought us back, would you?"

Your earpiece starts going off again. "Medinia, take care of the Gryphon first! Climb on to the mech and make sure to fix it as it fights, it still hasn't been fixed all the way from last time. We'll deal with others!"
Several buildings are demolished, each of the giants laughing as the people run for their lives.

Dogram lifts a paw to you. There's no seat inside on this mech, looks like you'll have to ride shotgun by holding on to the maintenance ladders that are bolted on to it.
As the cogs start spinning and Dogram gains speed, the Gryphon notices you. "Back for a second round? This time I'll makw sure to whallop you into an waffle maker!" The whole city seems to echo under her voice.
Will you go straight to melee, or does Dogram have any projectiles?

>>502123
Dogram quickly lifts itself up, its mechanisms filling the air with smoke and the noise of its paws coming together. It brings them down like a holy hammer, throwing off your aim.
The impact is so severe that the earth shakes and the Gryphon almost jumps up at the force, but the weighty paws impede that. She's breathing heavily, but she's still determined.

The zombies may have been feigning life, but they have been dead long enough that they can't even hope to catch up. You pass several groups, each intent upon stopping each. Each of them ate your dust.
Running down the street, you see a door open. An undead jenny wearing an apron seems to be calling for you. Head towards the house?

"Good manners on you. If you ever leave the Clergy, I'm sure you'd be able to nab anyone you wanted."
>>502133
"I hear it, but I ain't listening. I lived true to myself, doing what I wanted, it ain't changing cause I passed away. I had a few days left on a contract to clean this house, reckon I'll try to finish it or take a pay cut and not have to worry about it anymore. Oh, and the former Lady of the House is right behind you, so mind your manners to her."

She's an impressive Jenny, even with the mask and clothing and perfumes she's drenched in. Her ear falls off, but they taught you well, and you pick it up and offer it to her with full diligence.
"I guess that idiot son of mine was able to get someone with class to finally work for him. I swear, if I hadn't been raised back from the dead, I probably would have done it myself and the way things are going. I mean, he's letting that music be played in the markets."
"Sorry, I shouldn't have said that out loud. It's just these children. Ugh. Come along now, and be careful what you say or do. I may be her mother, but that daughter of mine did bring me back, so I still have to obey."
She points towards some stairs heading down. Dare you follow?
>>502141
Nope. She's dead. But she's trying to be tasteful about it. She's jammed some accessories into her body not what she doesn't feel physical pain. Roll a d10 to see what you think about it.

You head down, sadly one of her legs falls off and rolls all the way down. She's staring at you Fuerte.
>>502147
"Genevieve, we have guests!" She yells downward. "I expect you to look your best for the people who are here to smite you. I won't have my daughter shame the family even more by being dressed up like a common grave robber."
"MOTHER!" You hear in reply.

I grin, the rush… its new to me, all these feelings of being powerful and the concept of violence is something alien yet something…. so ecstatic, its like a spark came alive inside and with that new feeling I began to gather resolve inside me as I reload my shot gun again.
One last punch Junebug!!
'1d10+1'
All the while I reload and shoot!
'1d10'
Roll #1 7 + 1 = 8 / Roll #2 1 = 1

It isn't a typical Necromancer's lair. In fact, looking around, everything seems to be brand new. The books seems to be fresh from the press, the cauldrons seem to have just been ordered, and you can see postage papers that were just received not a week ago.
"Wait, wait, don't come down yet. Let me get ready! Please!"

>>502156
"Maybe you should become the head of this House. You seem to have a good head on your shoulders."
She limps off of Fuerte over to you.
"Now, walk me to my daughter. I wish to teach her a lesson as only a mother can."

TWHACK! The Lady's undead hoof bops her daughter in the nose.
Before you can blink, Genevieve is being berated by her mother, tears streaming down her face.
"Why didn't you marry that nice Gryphon? He had plenty of land. Why are you still practicing raising the dead and not on keeping you appearance up? Where did you get the money for these books? And why aren't you helping your brother run the city? Celestia knows you two fools would run it into the ground, but maybe, just maybe, one of you will do something right."
The dangerous Necromancer you were hired to defeat has curled up into a ball, chewing on her mane, staring off into space as her mother continues to insult her. It might be a rather sympathetic scene if it wasn't for the dark clouds coming from the walls.
>>502163
Junebug bends the metal posts of a building into make shift cuffs, binding the Gryphon. In her sleep, you can her threaten you still. "I'll dip you in chocolate, you little…"

Seems Sister Cantibeal has a good deal of training in dealing with these family situations. It doesn't take her long to get those two to relax and talk to each other. Which is a good thing, as the clouds form into vaguely Pony shaped form that starts grumbling.
>>502169
The other two giant Pegasi aren't exactly courageous. Seeing their boss get beat up has caused them to take flight. Their armor, bruised by dealing with the local security forces, still reflects light as they leave. At their size, it's quite blinding.
So much, that when you open your eyes, you find yourself back in the Day Care facility. The townspeople below didn't hear you, but the children are giggling. Your Gryphon caretaker is smiling.
"I still have it." She says as she imagines your toy. On the table are a HasBEEN Gryphon and the two Pegasi, plus a multitude of Gigabloks.

The Undead Mother is protecting her child, putting herself between them. It seems not even death can cure a mother of her love.
>>502844
The Gryphon caretaker chuckles and hands it back.
"Toys like these can really help bring out your imagination. A little talk, a little belief, and you can do anything, go anywhere with nothing more than what you have."
"Fun, wasn't it?"

She puffs up her chest after hearing you say that.
"Hmph, I can still take people places. Don't teach you that in any source book. Now, I'd love to play more, but it looks like someone is here for you." She points at the counter near the door, your mother is here.
Is she your birth mother, or your stepmother. Roll a 1d10 if you want to take the second option.

"I'll be here next time your momma drops you off. Here, why don't you keep this one. Maybe you can spruce it up like you did your little robot."
She hands you the HasBEEN Gryphon model. It's a standard toy, but earlier, it was a world ending thread.
"Come on dear," your mother beckons, "we'll be stuck in traffic if we don't leave."

You head down the elevator into the parking garage. Your mother drives you in their Ford Colt to your appointment. Whenever you look back, you can see the mass of oncoming cars, looks like you managed to beat them.
"Since I've transferred to the new job, we'll be going to a new doctor. Now, I know you like Doctor Phetamine, but I'm sure you and the new one will get along. Did you remember to take your medicine? You still have your spares, right dearie?"

There is. While the Maid and the Lady don't seem to be under visible duress, all the other undead in town seem to have gone fully hostile. Fortunately, the citizens had boarded up before you came in, so it's just you and them.
>>502871
A vase falls on your head. Your to busy running to care. As you pass the lady of the house, you hear her mention that it was a priceless family heirloom.
Cantibeal, roll d20 to see if you spot it.

You lift up a piece and show it to her. It is made of good material, but you're sure you saw several in the other town.
"Well, it had sentimental value. I'm having him dock that from your pay still."
>>502875
"Please, don't yell at me! I've been trying, but they're not connected to me anymore! They aren't listening to my orders!"

"This is 103.3, the Burning Antelope. Up next is the new beat by Reckless War, burning up the charts amongst all the teen mares."
You note that the radio now has quite a load more stations than what you are used to.
Your mother pulls into a small group of buildings. It's actually quite here. Or at least quite for Los Caballos, you can still here all the passing cars.
She takes you into a blue colored office building. After checking in and waiting your turn, a door opens up, revealing your new Doctor, a Diamond Dog by the name of Hepa.
"Well, you must be my new patient and her mother. It's a pleasure to meet you." She offers the both of you a smile.
>>502886
You just left the building. Fighting some undead outside.
"This is 103.3, the Burning Antelope. Up next is the new beat by Reckless War, burning up the charts amongst all the teen mares."
You note that the radio now has quite a load more stations than what you are used to.

"Don't worry, you're in good care with me." She bends down and pets your head.
"Come with me. I'll need to get new baselines for you. Most kids react poorly to the weather here with all the smog, so you'll have to be extra careful and check the smog levels every day."
The doctor's room seems to be the same here and everywhere. Sterilized with the same anatomical model in the same corner as all of them. You see several other children being led into other rooms, or already in them. She grabs a stethoscope and listens to your heart.

She puts her paw on your head again, and you note that she can fit your whole head in it.
"Did you like what you've seen of Los Caballos? Your mom mentioned you just moved here, I'm sure you'll have fun here."

"Not that many kids interested in that kind of stuff now a day."
She moves to your back and puts the stethoscope to your lungs. "Cough."
"Maybe you can ask your mother for a trip to Santa Vacalina. There's an old Gryphon outpost in the clouds up there. It serves as half an air and sea traffic tower and a museum. Lots of coming and going there."

A much smaller pony walks in and starts her routine. Outside, it isn't much for a citizen of Los Caballos, but for you, it is a whole new world.
The sky is full of Pegasi and Gryphons flying carts, the streets are a smorgasbord of colors thanks to all the inhabitants, and the cacophony of noise seems to be trying to tell you something.
When everything is over with, your mother takes you to your new home in Stable City. Do you want to sulk in the car for a bit, or just go straight to your new home?

A massive insect lands between you and your host. It sings an evil song that chills you to the bone.

You find yourself in a crowded park, with lots of people playing a variety of games here in Alicorn Heights. The scenes colors are expanded by all the dressed up kids, here on their days off pretending to be other characters.
As you enter the park that is on your flyer, there is a little goat girl waving you down.

"Oh, oh, are you here to play boardgames with us, or do you want one of the structured games we're running today!? And hi, I'm Lillith! One of the coordinators here."
She's got a big smile on her and she's hopping about, trying to see you at eye level.The flyer everyone has is colored, so she doesn't even need to look at it to know why you are here that you came here for this group's activities.

"Are you familiar with the 'Warmare 3000' series?" She lets out a little giggle. "Of course you would be, it's all over the place now. Even if you aren't the biggest fan, they're mentioned in everything. They came out with this board game, which I thought was a cash grab, but they put a lot of thought into it. It's about a prison, but they put in fights and investigations and lots of story into it. It's nice because it does so much, it makes it easy for us to see what you like most."
>>505396
"Wowzy, actual character art. Can you give me your assistants number, she's really good. I'll move a few numbers here and there, but this thing will fit."
"Are you two ready?" She has set up the board already, and the pieces are on there. She's got a stack of notes on the table, and she's sitting on two binders worth of other notes just to be able to see you.

I smiled weakly as I look to mom, disturbed by my sudden yawning.
"Its fine mom, my old uniform feels comfortable if you ask me." I stretch and stand up.
Lets get some breakfast and perhaps after that take a bath before arranging myself to get ready for school.
"Mom? When will you be back later? I just want to know so I would know if I can buy dinner later."

"Sweet, thank you!"
"Alright, let me get my little trick up. If you two wouldn't mind sitting a bit close, TADA!"
She lifts up a crudely cut up facsimile of a television, but the area where the images would be is missing. Instead, you have a smiling goat.
"I figure this thing makes people a bit more willing to open up. Ever notice how you yell at characters on the TV, or at least think about things to yell at them? I do this to get that same feeling. It also helps people feel more at home. That outta the way, let's start!"
"Javert, you are in your office aboard the space prison Equinox 7. It's your duty to keep these prisoners in line. There are files on your desk, as well as bits and pieces of your usual uniform you put on when you go inspect the housing. The uniform is worn, but it's been ironed and prepared as best it can."
"Dexter, you are on a ship that just docked. You are bringing in several bounties you got, along with the dreaded criminal M. Buffalo. You were able to catch him as he moved from a safe house to the next, the very moment he was at his weakest. You've come to deliver your charge and receive your pay."

There is a stack of complaints. Not from the prisoners, but the staff. They don't like being in the dark about the government using them to house things and not telling them. Everyone here, including you, knows that this was part of the job, but it is starting to get to them.
>>505416
The whole place smells. You're sure that even the metal of the place carries the scent now. But it's a short trip to Javert's office. Even though he's out of the way, you've dealt with him or his subordinates before. A square deal, by the book, every time. You wouldn't mind a higher payout, but the fact that once you are done with him he doesn't try to stab you in the back is a huge plus.

He seems to be a stern fellow. Turning on hte video feed, he can see all the prisoners coming aboard. One of the security staff turns to the camera and gives him a thumbs up.
He pulls out a holo-ledger and starts filling it out. Despite the machine doing everything by itself, he's antiquated that way. At the same time, you can see what he's inputting and follow along. Satisfied, he hands over a credit chip.
What will you be using this money for, he inquires?

Rojo finally pines up, "This is the little girl that moved in below us. She's new, so make sure to show her around the block and where the stores are, okay?"
The blue pegasus just stares.
"Come on Azul, I didn't know that was your iced coffee. It was an accident."
Azul flies over to you. "Come on, if we stay in his presence any longer, we might get sick."

"Well, I can see why Rojo thought you were in Elementary school, you're shorter than me. Still, you aren't wearing their uniform. We can take you to get one after school."
Perro Caliente High School is only a few blocks from Caballito, so the three of you walk together for most of the distance. There's a good number of stores around here, and a variety of races.
The High School itself, though, stands out from the rest of the buildings. It's very old, and it reminds you of the Missions they had here long ago.
Where do you want Rojo to show you before class begins? The Locker Rooms, the gym, the staff areas?

"Ahahaha… well I really am not a fast grower you see. It is a weird… defect I dare say but no worries I can live with it." I smile.
I then follow Rojo to the school premises.
"Errr.. Rojo, where can I put my bags and things? Can you show me?"
"Also any rules that I should abide? Other groups or groups of ponies to watch out?"

"Azul, she's always like that. It probably has something to do with sharing a room with her other two sisters. It's annoying to listen to them argue about their stuff, it's probably worse to be in the middle of it."
His ears perk up and an enormous shadow conceals you from the light. "This is who I was waiting for. Turn around and say hi to Ying."

Rojo speaks up, "Hello Ying, any more violation tickets for me? Oh, and say hello to the new student."
The Gryphon looks down at you, his silver feathers and coat shining like ice. "You must be the new student the teacher asked me to get. I'd write you up for not being in uniform, but they told me I couldn't. Rojo showed you to a locker, right? You didn't decide to come in with just the clothes on you."

The door lights flash green, you're docked with the Hab. Despite the lack of a real, sanctioned authority, they still make sure to check every ship before they let them come in.
Inside the docking bay, there is a mass of technitians running everywhere. Care to interrupt one or will you move straight towards your target?

Unfortunate passing? Doing what, he just pushed pencils!
Head on over there and tidy up my things.
Don't have much, just a few snacks, a couple binders, a small hoof-heater I brought from home. Everything else is just work I've got half-finished or is sitting on the computer. Stuff I can easily transfer to my new office.

You stop right before a garage, gates closed. They start to lift, and then you see the one who would probably be Borzoi, a hulking Diamond Dog lady using the chains to let you in and closing them when the vehicle enters.
"You got him?" She asks. "They didn't try to stiff us again, right."
"Uh, I'm not certain. He was at the time and place we were told to meet, but well, look at him."
They all just stare at you.
>>505532
It's super thick, impenetrable. Then you hear the sudden noise of metal creaking, and the lights go out.
>>505533
"It's alright, but I'm glad to have you as a boss. You're okay, you know. As for the kid, the house should be down a few blocks away, but we'll have to go on foot. This area isn't paved, and the car can't change away the damage, so we'll have to hoof it."
There are a few other fillies nearby and a store. DO you want to check there first, or try to head straight to the missing child's house?
You head back into the city, or at least one of those drab, forgotten parts. Looking out, the lands seems to have lost its color. Of course, the numerous armaments pointed at you don't help.

The path before you only leads forward. Even after just a quick glance, your mind would know where the walls and doors were, but there is only an odd colored floor.
And a Voice.
"Another one?"
>>505536
She picks up an old double barreled shotgun. You can see the rust on it, so make sure to answer properly.
"Tell us again, who sent you over there? Why?" Borzoi asks.

>>505538
You steel yourself and press on. It's hard and the air feels heavy, but you still soldiered on.
"Guess I was too late for this one, and now I missed my prize on top. You're really annoying, you know that?"
>>505539
After walking down the street, you note that most of the inhabitants have run back inside. For the middle of the day, it's like someone just made them vanish.
The house you seek is easy enough to find. The sobs are proof enough. There's a stallion with a puddle at his hooves. He looks up.
"Oh, are you the police? Are you here to look for my little girl?"
>>505540
"Argh, I can't believe it. We've been had. They don't want to pay up."
"YOU," she stares back angrily at you, "you want to know what happened to your old boss?"

I turned around to look at my back and look forward again. I then grit my teeth while trying to contain my shaking, fearing for myself and the lack of something to hold unto(mainly Junebug) in these times of mysterious peril.
"Wha.. what?! Who are you! Ms. Abtenauer? Rojo?! Mom!?"
Try to contain my fear.

"Oh Pony, that's rich. The one who actually keeps his head down and follows the rules still winds up here. I'm going to put in on a post card for my stupid brother. Listen, even when you try to keep yourself out of trouble, you must have heard about some things the company was doing. Even just complaints about things being messed up with the paperwork, big things that made people shut up."
>>505545
"A cry-filly, to hoof. Why do I have to get the whiny ones?"
Despite your tears, you continued to move forward until you saw the shape of a Stallion, but you can't make out his race. You can, however, see the pool of blood at his hooves.
>>505546
He goes back to looking down, but cleans his face with a hoof.
"My little girl, she was playing in her room with her friends on that shooting game of hers. Just hootering and hollering like normal when she went quiet. I thought she fell asleep with the game on, so when I went to go check on her, she was just gone. I tried calling her friends, but they were all home and didn't know anything more. Her room is just how she left it, can you take a look?"

Your head was mostly in the clouds most of the time. But you do recall a few departments had a good number of employees cycling through that you had to train.
"The one honest pony in this upside down town, and we had to kidnap him. Just our luck. Look, your bosses, they aren't who you think they are and they don't operate how you thought they did. Us, we're independent contractors, but the thing is, we've been working for Solaris too."
>>505551
"A few months. I was able to scrounge around for a working one on Canarylist. All her friends play it, so it's a good way to keep her home. Even told her I'd take it away if she didn't keep her grades up. She ended up at the top of her class."
"Why would anyone want to take my little girl?"

"Dangerous, cold, blood-work. All these companies, lots of 'em are hiding things. Things others want. Right now, Solaris has been paying us extra well to stay in their good graces, so we won't be offing you without thinking about it."
"This is annoying, did you at least know the guy who died or why?"

>>505555
I'll shake my head.
"All I was told is that the previous field supervisor 'unfortunately passed.' The only other information was in an email that was forwarded to my phone, which was just what I was supposed to do here. Basically corral the employees and make sure they aren't driving around and keeping the cables up."

The console is still lit up, but the TV was off. Turning it on. You see that the little girl has a message on there and a letter on her desk. Open them or keep looking?
>>505561
You hear the clanging of metal as it slides around after you hit it. It's Junebug! or so you think. Roll a d10 to find it, if you dare.

You bump your horn into Junebug's foot just as she charges her weapons system. Her black smoke stands strong against the lifeless fog.
She fires her weapons, making the world go white.
>>505566
You try to lean over to see what is going on, but the phone is angled in a way that it reflects the light, it is blinding enough that you close your eyes and look away.
>>505567
The letter is mumbo-jumbo. None of the writing makes sense, everything is misspelled. And she's supposed to be at the top of her class?
"Boss, take a look at this," Anna motions over to you, "you shouldn't be able to make stuff like this on them. It's weird."
As you turn towards the television, it seems to become brighter, a horrifying yellow and white.
All three of you, with your eyes shut, manage to hear the same voice.
Help us.

"Junebug!" I gasp in relief and hug his foot as much as I can.
"Power up main generator! Activate main operating system! Double check all hydraulic pumps and energy distribution! All cooling turbines run at maximum power! Run a scan of yours and my synchronization parameters! Activitate ocular, shoulder, torso and arm lights! Also carry me up now!" I shouted at him while look around wary of my surroundings.
"Where are we! Please!! Scan the perimeter!"
I try to scan using my eyes while Junebug uses his own eyes and radar to detect the surroundings.

It was a good thing you looked away. In that moment, an explosion occured just outside the window, causing your captors to land on the floor.
They are all just lying there, unmoving.
You can also note that your bindings have mysteriously snapped into pieces and that there is an ominous laugh coming from outside.

You note that they are all much, much lighter than you would have expected. Of course, you are El Caballo Fuerte!
"Hey, hey, come out and play with our fireworks! You'll have lots of fun, we promise!"
"You won't experience anything like it anymore! Ever!"
Two distinct voices could be heard amidst the increasing number of explosions.

I see a spitting image of him. Right down to the mask and suit. I could see why you like him.
The two voices are much more distinct now. A deeper one which seems to be giggling at times, and a higher pitched one that seems farther away.
"Come, watch our show!"
BOOM!
"You'll never see anything like it!"
BLAM!

You should be more careful how you handle women, you know.
Outside, you can see two other Earth Pony clowns. There's a huge bouncy ball, a male Earth Pony in the middle, and a female Earth Pony precariously balanced on top.
"Come out, you have to pay your dues!"
They toss what looks like a water balloon, but it explodes frighteningly when it impacts the wall.
"Have some fun in your last moment!"
Oddly enough, the people outside don't seem to notice. They're all just there, like in a painting.

"Our first visitor! Can we give him the booby prize?" Yells the mare on top.
"Not yet, that's a surprise for him, but you know what we're after or you wouldn't be there. Did you think you'd get away with that?"
"Now?"
"Yes."
The mare tosses several more explosives at the walls. Either she has bad aim or she likes things that go boom, but you'd better hurry. This place isn't as sturdy as it was.

They try to rush you, but such a mass causes them all to get stuck right above the back seat.
"I remember a light, but then everything went cold." Says the Unicorn.
"Why did you burn it down? We weren't going to shoot you. At least not until we got our answers." Adds one of the goats.
"Just who are you then? I don't recall anything after tying you up?" Borzoi asks you.

"After that flash of light, you all fell down. Unconscious. Then some nutjobs in clown costumes started throwing explosive balloons against the garage, so I dragged you all back to the vehicle. Even if you abducted me, you're all still employees that I'm supposed to be looking out for. Couldn't just leave you to die."
I'll sigh a little heavily.
"I managed to get away while they were busy at the front, and hopefully they'll just assume you all died. Though why they were going on about you paying them is beyond me."

"Clowns?" Asks the Unicorn.
"It couldn't be." Adds one of the goats.
"It has to be." Replies the others goat.
"That was dumb of us. But no way out now." Interjects the Earthie.
Borzoi manages to get into the seat next to you. "Did they at least offer a much higher salary? And can we stop by a liquor store?"

"You're the boss, I guess. You can say we're off the clock now." Yells one of the goats.
Borzoi sighs. "Remember I told you some of the companies were into things, we'll so are some of the people they hire. Those two were just free lancers, but they were probably hired by one of the other companies we hit, some joker who got mad and decided to look for some payback. The cops will make short work of fools like that. But look around you, see all those big buildings? You think we were crazy, you can't even imagine what they've got going on in there."

Plenty of places to pick from here in Los Caballos. Getting alcohol is no problem.
"Looks like we'll be together for some time." Borzoi says. "Might as well introduce you."
"The Earth pony with the little margarita is Beet."
"Horn head with the beer can on her is Amy."
"The prancing disasters twins you see there, the white one is Moxy and the black one is Verity."
"And you, poor little fella, you'll have to try and deal with us. You've got my sympathy."
