>>161101She has a grin and a look that she must think is playful.
“Because fuck the Changelings” she answers
>>161102"I Shot it Dead, but not before it got a shot or two in on me."
>>161103She assumes a position laying down below Dark Night, with her muzzle and head looking up at him. She pulls her lips together in an expression of concern
“It shot you?”
>>161104"Yea, it got me pretty good."
He brushes back his fur exposing the scar(s)
>>161105She opens her mouth in horror.
“Oh no… you poor thing….”
She looks at the wound. She changes her position so that she is almost beneath Dark Star, looking up towards his chest and barrel.
>>161106"It wasn't that bad. Hurt a little."
>>161107“How did it get you?” She asks. “How did you get it?”
>>161108"It was impersonating Somepony. i saw through it's disguise, It didn't like that. so it shot me. it should have aimed for the head."
>>161109“You must be really strong to live through that.” She says.
Sorrel twists her body to move her her fore section onto her back, and then her hindquarters follows, until she is entirely laying on her back. She moves her fore to be as much physically underneath Dark Star as is possible, with her hind legs sticking up in the air. She moves her forelegs up onto his barrel, and hugs him. Her wings unfold across the floor.
>>161110"I Guess So. It was quite the experience."
>>161111Tricky comments:
“I think the bed would be more comfortable than the wooden floor.”
Sorrel tries to wrap herself on Dark Star, but gravity is against her. Still, Dark Star can feel her forelegs try to grip his back, and hold her onto him.
>>161113“Well then, let’s go.” Tricky takes the initiative of moving to the bed, standing up, and walking to the bed, getting on laying down against the wall. Her left side is against the wall, and she lays partly on the left so that her belly is exposed. She folds her left legs beneath her, her hind leg extends out behind her, and her foreleg is folded. She tilts her head down, and looks over towards Dark Star with her golden eyes.
Sorrel lets go, and falls onto the floor along with her duress open wings, entirely on her back.
>>161114Dark Star Stands up and offers to help sorrel up
>>161115She extends a hoof, and with some effort, can be pulled up off of her back, rolling onto her hindquarters in a sitting position, snd then to standing up. She looks at Dark Star, smiling, blushing, swaying slightly, with her wings half-extended.
>>161116He helps her over to the bed
>>161117She walks with him, onto the bed. She bends her fore knees as she starts to get on. Trick watches Dark Night as he approaches.
>>161118He Sits Down on the edge of the bed
>>161119Sorrel moves into the bed, snd lays down on her back. As on the floor, her wings unfold, with one falling off the edge of the bed, and one pressing up against Tricky and the wall. Her lower section snd hindquarters are pressed between Dark Star’s back and Tricky. She bends her left hind leg, and tries to rub Dark Star’s back.
>>161120He lets her rub his back, it's very tense.
>>161121She rubs with her hoof.
“Why don’t you join us?” She asks. Her forelegs are half-folded.
>>161122"I'm not tied."
He Enjoys the back massage
>>161123Sorrel isn't able to manage a proper massage with her hindleg at this angle, only a glancing rub.
Sorrel:
"I'm not tired..."
Tricky:
"Why don't you come snuggle?"
>>161124He turns his torso around to look tricky in the face
"Snuggle?"
>>161125“Yes, hehe” she smiles at him.
>>161126"Hmmmmm Snuggling. that does sound nice."
>>161128He Rubs his chin in thought
"I might."
>>161129Sorrel lowers her hind legs backwards, which is kind of necessary as they were poking into Dark Star’s back. She opens her forelegs, and waves then in the air. Tricky starts to turn her body more onto her side, exposing her belly.
>>161130He Scoots over towards them slightly
>>161131Now here is the question: where shall he lay, if he lay at all? Between them? Over Sorrel? Under her?
>>161133It’s a tight fit. Can Dark Star manage it?
Whatever happens, Dark Star will soon enough decide if he wants to sleep in this bed tonight, or somewhere else.
>>161135Well then….
Presumably Dark Star squeezes himself on the bed between Sorrel and Tricky. Tricky moves herself to roll partly on top of Dark Star’s belly, so that she makes contact with much of his body. Sorrel is less prepared, and is pushed aside, almost off the bed.
>>161136He Grabs sorrel so she does not fall off
>>161137“Hehe”
pony is grabbed He feels her chest floof and ribs, and again her wing unfolded over top of both him and Tricky.
>>161138He sits her down on the bed
>>161139Mare us set down on the bedShe turns towards Dark Star, and places a hind leg over him.
>>161140Dark Star thinks about a certain question Mr.Glass asked him earlier >"Are they Changelings?
>>161141If they are… they surely have Dark Star where they want him. Their lost sisters shall be avenged.
>>161142He mulls this over in his head for a few moments, getting a little concerned.
>>161143Sorrel places a foreleg over Dark Star. Tricky moves in even closer, and starts to nuzzle his muzzle.
>>161144Dark star Continues thinking and then thinks back to his training on changelings.
>>161145Dark Star has only very little formal training on Changelings to go by. He knows that there is some sort of tell in the eyes, although precisely what that tell is, he cannot articulate. He knows that the most famous mods of attack is for Changelings to disguise themselves as young maiden mares and prey upon single or adulterous stallions looking for a one night stand or a fling
or was that and old mares tale to scare stallions into behaving?. But he knows this is far from the only means they will use. Indeed, they will do anything and everything to steal pony love, from addiction and replacement, to targeting foals and the elderly.
Dark Star knows from his own experience that to be drained of love by a Changeling is an utterly miserable experience, with an emotional pain that becomes physical, and a draining of the love of life itself. He knows it can affect even memories, and can dull the very perception of reality itself. He knows that they have the ability to cocoon stallions and mares much bigger than themselves - he’s seen it - like a spider’s prey, and leave them in stasis as their love is drained. He knows that they can disguise themselves as a drained pony, and live their life. He’s seen it. He knows that the entire process is voluntary, that they can drain as much or as little love as they like, though their list will always incline them to take more. He’s heard of their powers of mind control, to put stallions in a trance, or to make them think nothing is wrong at all, and let them continue on with what they think is a happy relationship, while their insectoid lover eats away at their soul. They can overtake a much larger and stronger stallion, that much is certain.
These two find young mares look, feel, and sound very real. Surely, they must be. Just two young mares from near Cloudsdale who fled during or sometime after the Changeling occupation of the region, who are now homeless and single, and who have been wandering around for likely several months now. Surely they must actually like, or even maybe list after “Solar Night.” Right? It makes as much sense to accuse Glistenning Glass, or Lunar Nadir, or June Rising, or even Blue Skies of being a Changeling, right? They aren’t there to steal Dark Star’s love. Or to avenge their fallen sisters… even if they were Changelings they couldn’t know about that. There’s no way they could. And they couldn’t be here to spy on him…
White Star would tease him for his skittishness in the face of the two mares.
Right?
>>161146This Train of thought is almost to much to bare, For the first time in a long time, Dark Star feels Afraid. But swallows that fear. as his thoughts turns to his Friends and then his Brother.
He stands up, determined to get to the bottom of this.
>>161147This surprises the little ponies, and Tricky looks up towards him with a playful look. Sorrel takes a moment to focus on Dark Star, and watches him.
>>161148"Want to see a magic trick?"
He says with a Playful tone
>>161149“Sure” Tricky says, smiling
“You can do magic?” Sorrel says, surprised
>>161150"In a way."
He smiles at sorrel
He walks over to his bag and grabs the flashlight and walks back over with the flashlight out of sight
He says just as playfully
"Scoot together."
