| WAH, super sorry! *flails arms* Don't kill me, I swear I won't forget to post! ______________________________________________________________
"Captain Blastsides," Mirage inquired, hiding the flustered look on her face, "what are you doing?"
She shook her head not wanting to cause a big confrontation. "Anyhow, I found two items that might be the cause..." Mirage trailed off as she cautiously placed the box on the ground.
She realized how naive she was. "I don't know a thing about real magic no matter how much I try to convince myself," She thought morosely, "For all I know these could just be useless trinkets...."
Mirage pushed the box towards Elegance with her hoof. She mumbled, "Here take them, you're the expert here."
Mirage watched Elegance intently waiting fpr her reaction. She hoped Elegance wouldn't be offended to see what a rural earth pony would think to be "magical items". | |

| Elegance's eyes narrowed at Blastsides, then turned to the box Mirage had put on the ground. "Oh, probably just taking advantage of misfortune, making a pony's bad day that much worse, stealing bits that aren't hers," she said flatly, "But that's surprisingly not the worst thing about this situation."
Emptying out the box carefully with her hoof, she then looked at its contents; a scratched gem glowing a sickly red, and a strange necklace with a runic pendant with visible magic vapour.
"..."
"I have no idea what these things are."
To be perfectly honest, she didn't really expect to know what was causing the mishaps in the market. There were countless amounts of amulets and pedants. It would be impossible to know all of them on sight.
Still, that didn't mean she couldn't contain them. Carefully, she picked up the necklace by the hoof, then tossed it gently into the dampener, praying that it would work like it should.
It did. The pendant hovered under its own magic emission inside the device where, theoretically at least, it would cause no more harm.
The gem would be more problematic as she would have to touch it directly, a prospect she was not seeking out.
Whilst this was going on, however, clouds were slowly being moved towards the market square by unseen hooves... | |

| "Captain Blastsides," Mirage inquired, hiding the flustered look on her face, "what are you doing?"
"Oh, probably just taking advantage of misfortune, making a pony's bad day that much worse, stealing bits that aren't hers," she said flatly, "But that's surprisingly not the worst thing about this situation."
"I'm only keepin me word, lassies." Blastsides smiled disarmingly as she stowed the now slightly heavier bag of bits. "I wouldn't want to be a liar. Sayin I'll rob a pony and lying abou'tit." She clicked her tongue and shook her head. "T'wouldn't be good form, tu es d'accord?"
She swaggered over, gesticulating with hoof and tail. "'And lo! What a pirate I'd be without a little larceny to liven up the lives of these lilly-livered layabouts!" She paused, mostly for dramatic effect.
"May I manage your minds towards the matter of more magical nature? My malicious misdeed might have to wait." She stepped to eye level of Ms. Prissy Pony, then glanced at Mirage, indicating the nefarious machine.
Her short monologue done, she plopped to the ground to watch and observe the two in their magical dealings. She watched the Snob empty the box.
"I have no idea what these things are."
"BWAHAHAHAHAfffffsssnnnnnnnnnnehehheehheeee..." She errupted in rancerous laughter, before suppressing it slightly, then stopping, assuming a stony expression. "Heheeeheeeeehehe- Apologies. Truly sorry. Not the time nor place. rotten of me. Right rotten." She muttered.
Calico coolly observed as the amulet was successfully suppressed, and watched the hesitation on Ms.Richer-than-thou.
"Is something wrong? Whatever is the matter?" She hazarded to Mirage, not wanting to disturb the . This time, no hint of sarcasm or rebellious streak. While by no means a superstitious pony, Blastsides knew to be wary of magic.
She glanced about out of force of habit, saw the clouds. She did not, however notice that they were moving towards the market. The thought of the imminent arrival of the guard temporarily slipped from her mind. | |

| Mirage gazed at the sky in shock, her body quavered and her eyes darted back and forth. She knew these clouds weren't natural, seeing as no pegasi were moving them, and they looked dangerously magical.
"Elegance I'm pretty sure a big storm wasn't in the forcast" Mirage said, a worried look on her face.
"If it's gonna rain I b-better get my magic props, Mirage said hastily as she ran to collect her scattered items.
"We should go to my tent really quick, Mirage said as she returned, "We can stay out of this "magic storm" and create a better plan"
Not waiting to see if the others would follow her, Mirage dashed down the street and towards her tent. She opened the flap to reveal a medium room, whose walls were grey with yellow swirls here and there.
"My living quarters and bathroom are back there" She said gesturing behind her. | |

| "Hmm?" Elegance, only half listening, gave the sky a passing glance. She was no pegasi, but the clouds seemed ordinary.
"I don't think there's going to be a storm of any description, Mirage," she dismissed, refocusing on the magic gem. She 'poked' at it with telekinesis, but almost got showered in sparks for her troubles. Muttering curses under her breath, she looked up to see the magician making a break for it.
"Mirage, wait-" she began, but was cut off by the sight of a piece of cloud break off from its fellows and follow in hot pursuit.
Elegance was no pegasi, but she knew that wasn't ordinary in the least.
As soon as she realized this, her eyes were dazzled by several flashes of lightning. By the time she heard the thunder, she saw that the market square was surrounded by armored pegasi guards.
Elegance did not like this at all.
The pegasi that seemed to be the leader strode forward, guarded yet confident. "A pirate and a noblemare," he said, "And what seems to be a magician, too. What a varied group, but this was an extraordinary call. Apparently, Ponyville market was under a magical terrorist attack, involving a hostage situation of all things. All very confusing. I don't presume a member of the prestigious Design family could clear things up?"
Elegance winced at the mocking inflection of the guard. "I would like to know who I am talking to."
"But of course! I am Light Lance, representative of the Emergency Response Unit. And I'm already familiar with you, Miss Design the Elegant, and your strange companions. What I am not sure of is why the Ponyville market was thrown into magical disarray and its residents were held at gunpoint."
Elegance looked at the other pegasi around them, trying to figure out whether they armed or not. This was the situation she was trying to avoid. | |

| Calico Blastsides gave the approaching cloud another cursory glance. It was most certainly suspicious, but this close to the Everfree, anything could have happened. she didn’t want the poor magician to be too fretful, and she decided she would like her company better than any hoighty-toighty noblemare. She followed Mirage towards her tent, but stopped with Elegence’s command.
There was the flash and thunder, and suddenly:
Calico was utterly gobsmacked. This was not the typical response to her usual hijinks. She was just behind Mirage. She quickly and subtly pushed Mirage further into her quarters and out of sight. The pirate hoped, at least. “I’d stay in, If I was you, Miss Mirage. It seems to be quite the storm.” She grinned wryly.
The pegasi that seemed to be the leader strode forward, guarded yet confident. "A pirate and a noblemare," he said, "And what seems to be a magician, too. What a varied group, but this was an extraordinary call. Apparently, Ponyville market was under a magical terrorist attack, involving a hostage situation of all things. All very confusing. I don't presume a member of the prestigious Design family could clear things up?"
“Terrorist!” Blastsides loudly protested, but very quickly piped down. This was not her conversation to be a part of.
Miss Design the Elegant, was her name. The leader was quite right, a more unusual group thrown together by the odd machinations of fate there never was.
"I would like to know who I am talking to."
"But of course! I am Light Lance, representative of the Emergency Response Unit. And I'm already familiar with you, Miss Design the Elegant, and your strange companions. What I am not sure of is why the Ponyville market was thrown into magical disarray and its residents were held at gunpoint."
The pirate tried to count the number of pegasi. She had successfuly outran, outwit, or outfought at most five at a time on her own, not an easy feat but she had managed through a lot of labor and a great deal of luck. But this was different. Distinctly. Why were there such a presence? Was it the magic involved? Was it this Design mare? Calico sincerely hoped it was due to her own presence, but she doubted it. What was she forgetting?
“Light Lance.” She mouthed silently. Best not to get involved, Not yet, anyway. These were not the typical golden backed guards ponies.
She looked behind her shoulder at Mirage. What of the magician? She didn't deserve to be wrapped up in all this. Blastsides looked back to Elegance. Despite her disdain for the upper crust, she supposed that Elegance Design didn't particularly deserve to be put such fire as well.
Calico kept an eye on Elegance, waiting to see if she would get any instruction, and a hoof on her cutlass, in anticipation of a fight that she no doubt would lose. | |

| Mirage hear a small commotion outside her tent. She was about to poke her head out when:
She quickly and subtly pushed Mirage further into her quarters and out of sight. The pirate hoped, at least. “I’d stay in, If I was you, Miss Mirage. It seems to be quite the storm.” She grinned wryly.
Mirage narrowed her eyes, "Why would the Captain want me to stay inside?"
It was probably because she wouldn't be much help physically but Mirage would be ready to stand by her comrades if trouble popped up. Then, something caught her ears: "A pirate and a noblemare," he said, "And what seems to be a magician, too. What a varied group, but this was an extraordinary call. Apparently, Ponyville market was under a magical terrorist attack, involving a hostage situation of all things. All very confusing. I don't presume a member of the prestigious Design family could clear things up?"
Mirage pushed open the flap of her tent and stood next to Calico. She hoped that the strong and intimidating presence of the Captain would distract them from her lack of strength. Mirage, looking the pegasus up and down, judging Light Lance silently. His gold armor shone but his presence was different than any castle guard Mirage had seen.
"But of course! I am Light Lance, representative of the Emergency Response Unit. And I'm already familiar with you, Miss Design the Elegant, and your strange companions. What I am not sure of is why the Ponyville market was thrown into magical disarray and its residents were held at gunpoint."
Sheepishly, Mirage spoke up, "If you were aware of this quote en-quote "terrorist attack", then you would have known the circumstances of the situation and the fact that nopony was hurt? "
Mirage tried to speak as formally and politely as possible to avoid any further argument. She attempted to stand more erect to project confidence. As she did this she watched Light Lance and his compatriots carefully. From the tense atmosphere, Mirage felt like one false move could ruin everything they were working towards. | |

| [Apologies for my tardiness. Reasons include business and a lack of knowing what to do with Light Lance. Feel free to use him as you see fit.]
The guard hummed lightly. "The circumstances of the situation is exactly what we are trying to find out. Marketplaces are not supposed to be-" He waved a hoof at the chaos around them. "-in this state."
"So in light of the circumstances, the crown would like to take you into custody, so we can get a clear understanding of what has happened. Will you comply peacefully?"
Elegance stared at the dampener and the red crystal which glowed wickedly.

| Calico frowned. She made her bets and lost the metaphorical hand. Although she could simply sit by and let the situation play out, perhaps slipping away in the process, It would be terrible bad form to allow the two to take the fall for a mess she caused.
In response to Mirage's heroic stand, Calico puffed her chest out and rose to her fullest hieght, subtle yet effective tactic to draw attention. away from the magician. She had a soft spot for performers, always reminded her of a pony she always admired.
"It's not a matter of 'being hurt,' Miss." The gentlemare explained. "You see, the royals are all quite concerned More with the illusion of peace. It makes my job much easier. Usually."
If it wasn't for the Emergency Response Unit (gag) She would be off, The magician would be back to her show, and the Design Mare would go back to... whatever it is rich ponies do. Probably playing checkers with bits or being carried around by the poor or something of the like.
"Sir Lance!" Calico called to the captain, presenting herself smartly. She stepped out and away from Mirage, not wanting to show association with the innocent. "Allow me to introduce myself and save you and your crown." Calico matched mocking tome with mocking tone: "...a great deal of trouble. I am Captain Calico Blastsides, and the sole perpetrator of this mayhem."

| [Writing myself into a hole where the rain gets in, keeping myself from wondering, where I will go...]
Light Lance simply spared the Captain a small smile. "Believe me, Captain Blastsides, we know who you are. We simply do not care about you or your foalish theatrics."
The guard then turned to stare at Elegance who did not return eye contact. "No, this is about a certain filly with close connections-"
"This is about my brother isn't it?" Elegance snapped. As she did, the red crystal pulsed with invigorated energy, "For Celestia's sake, he's been in coma for the last several months and you're saying that you still think that he's part of some crackpot conspiracy?"
Lance said nothing, but signaled his fellow pegasi with a tilt of his head that started to close in | |

| Her voice was quiet, but in such a way Mirage could hear her hoarse whisper.
"Miss Mirage." Everything strained in Calico. Her body, her sword-hoof, and most certainly her patience and sensibilities. "I am liable to commit some acts of a truly violent nature." Everything she said was filled with rage. Rage and anger and malice and all other words that could be associated with a bruised ego.
the captain's nose flared as she took a deep breath. Her cat like eyes were wide and focused on the idiot pegasus that insulted the great Captain Calico Blastsides.
"This is about my brother isn't it?" Elegance snapped. As she did, the red crystal pulsed with invigorated energy, "For Celestia's sake, he's been in coma for the last several months and you're saying that you still think that he's part of some crackpot conspiracy?"
The pirate broke into a steady walk towards the leader of the band, ignoring the pegasi slowly encroaching upon Elegance. A hoof slipped into her coat for a moment before retracting with apparently nothing. There was nothing in her eyes but vengeance and a singular purpose. | |

| " Captain, I-I really think you should calm down, m-maybe we can talk this out..." Mirage stuttered as she saw that look of anger in Calico's eyes.
"This is about my brother isn't it?" Elegance snapped. As she did, the red crystal pulsed with invigorated energy, "For Celestia's sake, he's been in coma for the last several months and you're saying that you still think that he's part of some crackpot conspiracy?"
" A coma? That's terrible! I can't believe that these hoity toity ponies want to blame him to a conspiracy, that's just not right!"
"Captain please don't do anything unreasonable and brash!" Mirage pleaded quietly | |
