/vx/ - Videogames and Paranormal

>>158356
Silver nods and steps out of the car. As he starts to remove his weapons and equipment and place them in the back seat (to make himself less suspicious on the campus) he asks Blue Skies, "Is he using his real name, or does he have alias?"

>>158357
So, Silver Sword takes guns and swords off of him after he gets out of the car? Like there is some guy with a long rifle and presumably a big, fuck-off sword just casually putting these things in the back seat of a car on the side of a major university, immediately next to the medical school? Anyways,

"Solar Night. He's a yellow color with a brown mane. Trench coat, probably."

>>158356
After a long Day of School Dark Star walks down to the courtyard of the campus.

>>158358
Well, if he can do so inside the car, that would also work.

"It sounds very much like Dark Star. Alright, I will be back shortly with him."

The unicorn, once unequipped, heads for the college campus. He decides that the best place to go to find out where "Solar Night" is is to find an administration building and ask if he can see what his schedule is.

>>158360
And so the guns are taken off inconspicuously.

Silver trots around campus, past grass, brick buildings, stone façade buildings, and blue tiled roofs. Nearer the center, he finds a building that seems to be the administration building. Going inside, there is the financial office, the registration office, and the admissions office.

>>158361
Hmm. Maybe registrations? Silver goes over and asks whoever is working there,

"Hello, I am looking for student named 'Solar Night'. Do you have his class schedule, or know where I can find it?"

>>158362
Through the doors, there is a black coated, yellow maned unicorn in her mid thirties behind a counter. She sees Silver, but does not immediately engage him.

>>158363
The unicorn waits patiently in front of the counter.

>>158364
She looks at him, and blinks

“Can I help you?”

>>158365
Silver smiles at her, and repeats himself.

"Yes, I am looking for student named 'Solar Night'. Do you have copy of his schedule here in this office, or know where I can look for one?"

>>158366
"Oh, for privacy reasons, we don't normally give out copies of schedules to other ponies."

[1d20-1 = (12-1) = 11]
>>158367
Diplomacy: Silver attempts to break out what charms he may or may not have.

"Are you sure? It is of upmost urgency, and I cannot imagine anyone here would be able to help as well as beautiful and intelligent mare such as yourself."

>>158368
She opens her eyes wide.
[1d20+2 = (15+2) = 17]

>>158368
>>158369
She gives a look to the effect that she is not impressed.

“What emergency?”

>>158370
Well, he tried.

"Family emergency. I have been sent to retrieve him."

>>158371
Okay, maybe he can roll again

>>158373
Hmmm
[1d20-2 = (16-2) = 14]

>>158373
>>158374
She tilts her head at him

>>158375
"I suppose you want more detail. Couple of his nephews are in trouble, and Solar Night was asked for."

>>158376
She nods
(Okay, one more(

>>158378
“Sir, we don’t give out the schedules of students.”

>>158379
Silver is silent for a second, before giving a resignated nod.

"Very well. I am sorry for bothering you, ma'am. Have good day."

Silver leaves the building, deciding that the second best course of action is to pick a random college hall, find a student, and ask if they know Solar Night and where he might be.

>>158380
Roll die!

>>158382
Silver finds the college of liberal arts. A first glance in a lecture hall is no cigar

[1d20 = 8]
>>158383
Try again!

>>158384
No.

>>158386
>>158384
>>158385
Okay, good enough.

While walking out of the lecture hall upon the conclusion of Philosophy 101, Dark Star sees Silver, walking about outside

>>158387
Does Silver spot Dark Star?

>>158388
Roll die

>>158387
dark star is slightly confused to see him

>>158390
He is indeed walking around, looking confused himself. He does not see Dark Night

>>158391
He does not see him

>>158392
"Where is that...Solar Night?"

Silver asks any of the nearby students leaving the lecture hall if they know of a Solar Night.

>>158392
Dark Star walks over to him

>>158393
Roll Die

>>158394
Should probably start replying to Silver now

>>158396
Well then

He sees a yellow earth pony maybe meeting the provided description, a white unicorn mare, an orange colt, and a striped... bat pony(?) mare.

>>158397
Silver looks at the group in surprise and relief.

"Ah, Solar Night. I am sorry to bother you, but there has been bit of emergency you are needed for."

>>158398
Solar is surprised to see you
"silver? what are you doing here? Emergency? whats wrong?"

>>158400
Silver whispers to him.

"It is about White Orchid and Mint Marine. They are in danger."

>>158401
He whispers back
He Seems distressed by the news but trys to keep his composure
"W-what? whats wrong with them are they ok?"

>>158401
>>158403
While the other two ponies walk away, the bat zony stops and looks at the two as they whisper

>>158403
>>158404

"They are safe for now, but they are being hunted. I will tell you more once we leave, but I am wondering if you are able to help Skies and I make them safe once again."

Silver looks over at the bat zony, and smiles at her.

"Hello there, young mare. Who are you?"

>>158405
She moves her head (but not her body) back, and folds her previously unfolded wings back together

"Lunar Nadir" She answers

She gives a weak smile
"Um... Who are you?"

>>158406
>>158407
Silver whispers to Dark Star before replying to Nadir.

"They are being hunted by pony in Waterfront Gang who sold them to Comte Burgher, Bargain Strength. We are going to stop him."

Silver returns to looking at Nadir, and offers her a hoofshake.

"Silver Sword. I am friend to Solar Night."

>>158409
She replies, after a moment.

"Oh. You are? Um... I'm... also a friend of Solar Night. Do you um, do things together like... he said he hunts for treasure."

>>158409
Dark Star Bites his tongue trying not to explode in anger
What?? He' Sent More after them?? i knew i should have just shot the bastard."
His eyes are ablaze with anger at the words.

>>158410
Silver nods, not knowing everything that he's told her.

"We do things like that, yes."

>>158412
Her slit, purple eyes light up, she smiles, showing her small fangs, and her grey, zebra-tail with it's tuft of black fur on the end begins to move back and forth.

"Really?"

>>158413
>>158411
Silver nods at her.

"Really really."

The unicorn returns to whispering with Dark Star.

"You have met Bargain Strength before? Anyways, would you like to help us stop him?"

>>158418
Silver nods.

"Alright. When you are ready, we will go."

>>158419
"Alright."
He Turns to the two mares with him
>>158413
"Ladies, i have to go. there's a problem."

>>158420
Nadir frowns, and her ears go halfway down

"Okay..."

Mars Loaf is further away, talking to some other pony.

[1d20+3 = (13+3) = 16]
>>158420
>>158421
Sense Motive: After her reply, Silver attempts to search Nadir's feelings for Dark Star.

>>158421
He hugs her
"My young Friends are in trouble. they need my help. i'll see you tomorrow, i promise."

>>158422
She wants more attention from him, and it seems that she was expecting it

>>158423
Bat creature is hugged
She is course, but fuzzy on the wings.

"Tomorrow???..... oh... okay. Uh... I'll see you then" she says, a little less happily

>>158424
"Yes....."
His tone gets serious
"Its a matter of life and death."

>>158425
Her ears move up, her eyes grow wider, and she is definitely frowning with her lips closed in such a way that her fangs still show under her lips

"Oh... Okay. Um... Uh... I'll... talk to you about the book situation later, then?"

>>158426
"Of course. we might be done before tomorrow, im not sure though. we'll definitely take care of it."

>>158424
"Do not worry, Nadir. I will return your Solar Night to you shortly."

>>158427
"Um, okay" She says, smiling again, and generally perking up.
"Just come back some time if you uh, if you want to help me maybe with the books. To find them at least..."

>>158428
"Hehe" She blushes, and pulls her lips back in a toothy smile.

>>158429
"Without a doubt i will. don't worry. i could give you the bits for it now if you want."

>>158430
"Uh..." She stands up, and has her lips pulled back. Her tail starts moving.

"That's uh, very generous of you." She says

>>158431
"it pays to be Generous and help out when you can."

>>158432
"Uh, thank you, heh. Well... Uh, I'll let you get to the thing" She says

>>158433
"Ok. see you then, nadir."

>>158434
She closes her lips, maintaining a smile.

"See you"

>>158434
If Dark Star is ready, Silver would lead him outside.

>>158436
Dark Star goes with Silver
>>158435
He Waves goodbye to nadir

>>158437
As strange as it looks, she attempts to wave back with her wing. Solar can see the bones and "fingers" on the wing as it flaps.

>>158437
>>158436
Silver and Dark Star presumably trot back in the way of the Medical School, to a parked black car that Dark Star has never seen before.

>>158436
>>158438
>>158437
Unless Silver and Dark Star want to talk before getting back to the car

>>158439
>>158437
>>158438
Before they get to the car, Silver comments,

"She is rather cute, do you think?"

>>158440
"Who Nadir?"

>>158441
Silver nods.

"She seems to have taken liking to you."

>>158442
>>158440
"She's not really my type, she's a Good friend though."

>>158443
"You seem to be helping her quite bit, just from that little I saw. I like her."

>>158444
checked
"Yea i am. She's from a impoverished family. i got her into college, through uh totally legitimate means."

>>158445
Silver smiles.

"Of course."

They likely have now arrived at the new, mysterious black car with a familiar blue pegasus inside.

>>158446
He smiles as he sees blue
"Nice car. is it yours?"
He says to silver

>>158446
>>158447
A small blue muzzle pokes up from the passenger seat, followed by ears

>>158447
>>158448
"Sort of. I acquired it through, uh...totally legitimate means. Do not mind blood stains, I may have bled out little bit in it earlier."

Silver starts gathering the weapons and equipment he left behind before getting in the driver's seat.

>>158449
Dark Star seems concerned
"Bled in it? are you ok?"
Dark star opens the available door
and puts his bag on the floorboard
And gets in

>>158448
He smiles at her

>>158449
>>158450
>>158451
The blood is in the right back seat.

Blue Skies slightly sits up, still mostly slumped down in her seat. She looks back, towards Dark Star

"Darkie?" She says in a low voice, almost a whisper.

>>158448
>>158450
"I was shot couple of times, but I got better."

He turns to Skies.

"I told him little bit already, but you may want to fill in details."

He turns the car on, and starts on their way to the restaurant once Dark Star is on.

>>158452
"In the flesh"
He grins
>>158453
"Looks like a slaughterhouse back here."

>>158454
>>158453
Only a little blood

Blue Skies looks over to Silver, and then back to Dark Star. She smiles. She remains slumped down.

"So, according to Silver, anyways, several creatures, evidently attached to the made stallion "Bargain Strength" of the Waterfront Gang, attempted to kidnap one of the two remaining victim-witnesses in the Comte case."

>>158454
"Well, I cannot claim responsibility for all of it. Mala was with me when they tried to take White Orchid, and he gave attackers hell."

>>158455
Dark Star Grits his teeth loud enough for it to be audible in the front seats
"Are they safe?"
>>158456
"Mala? Is he ok?"

>>158457
"He did not get hurt in slightest. Gangster he attacked...not so much. All of that in backseat is gangster's blood that dripped off of Mala's muzzle."

>>158457
“I think Silver is keeping them for now. But just to be safe… I think we may need to interview them in more detail, just to be sure we have their full statements in case they are made unavailable for trial.”

>>158458
Dark Star Laughs
"I wouldnt expect anything less from Him."
>>158459
"They won't be made "Unavailable." Trust me."
Dark Star takes the Linen out from his bag and places it next to him, he then unfolds it to reveil his pistols

>>158460
She looks down, as sees the top of Seeker of Truth and Ride the Lightning. She forms a wide, malicious grin
