Deep Impact wanted to give a small sigh of relief, but they weren't exactly in the clear yet. Still he felt himself relax even if it was just a bit. It seemed that he hadn't given them away, at least not yet. He was supposed to go in for a debriefing, but staying with the Princess was his first priority. He doubted she would be in any trouble on her own. Even changed to the form she had now he doubted anypony would just attack her. No, it was Deathfang he was worried about. He wanted to make sure that monstrosity didn't do anything that might endanger Princess Jasmine. "Excuse me sir," he said to Anduriel, "But I've traveled quite a long way with these two, perhaps I may stay with them just a bit longer?" |

Princess Jasmine didn't want to see the Princess'. But… The scent coming off Andy and Jack was reaching her nose. She'd never realized that Canterlot castle had a smell. But it did. It was on Jack and Andy. And it was tempting her home. She wanted to go home. Her territory. And never leave. It was her territory, she wanted to be there. In her room. In the treasure room. She wanted to be there. The were other Royalty there, yes. But Princess Jasmine wanted to go back to her territory now. But… She couldn't let her friends see her like this. And know. And if they didn't know they'd just kill her. She was a vile ugly beast. But nonetheless… The scent was homely. |

Deathfang counted his blessings where he got them. "Now I understand that ponies in the city have a... Facination for wealth. I am quiet the distance from my hoard, but my hoard would not interest you, or anyone else in this city. As Dragons I am sure we should get something of an accommodation. Any grave site will do for me but my daughter here needs some shelter" He growled, not in an offensive way but in a way that said something just stopped working right inside him, as things often did.

Anduriel glanced down at Deep Impact, frowning. "Why? What's your angle on this?" He looked back up at the two dragons, one of whom seemed to be getting homesick. Curiouser and curiouser. His attention snapped back to Deathfang, and his expression showed a mild amount of affront at the dragon's comments. "What, just because you're a dragon, you should get special treatment? I got to my position by going through citizenship councils of every flavor and being poked and prodded by every hack in the city to make sure I wouldn't cause a pandemic. Now, I can see about getting your daughter some housing, but finding an open grave your size will probably take quite a while. If you want, there are a few caves lower on the mountain you can pick from to live in for now." He glanced down at one of the several guards standing at the gate and nodded to him. "You. Go find somewhere the smaller one can live for a few days." The stallion nodded and trotted off, leaving Anduriel and only most of a platoon to deal with the other dragon if he decided he was done waiting and barged right in. "Now, you never answered my question. What business do you have with the princess?" |

"Caves are for the weak. I prefer to sleep with the dead" Deathfang laughed "And out of this city you say there is not one place the dead sleep? I will assure you will find a suggestible place in the city itself, and my daughter can very well join me. Were I live you do not pay for" He said simply. "As for my business with the Princess, as you can see we are very much so not normal. We both look dead, and yet we were not always so. She has an easy way of getting rid of hers, just needs to figure herself out, but I am a completely different case. Not even Ishtahkriot cannot return me, nor any like me back to our former state so we have come to the last hope before we accept our fate and find a new goddess" He growled. |

Deep Impact flinched a bit as Anduriel looked away from him. He really shouldn't have tried to press his luck. He mulled it over and decided that for now it would simply be best for him to try and raise as little suspicion as possible. If that meant he would have to let Princess Jasmine with Deathfang for a bit he supposed he would simply have to wait and hope for the best. " No reason sir, It was only a bit of sentimentality for my traveling companions." he lied. "I wanted to show them around the castle, but I understand that will have to wait. If there is nothing else required of me then I suppose I'll report for debriefing." |

Show around the castle? Just as well that was a lie, because she wouldn't want to even step foot in the castle. Not like this. And not at all. She was legally dead anyhow, if the guards had gotten their stories right. Which she had no doubt about. Princess Jasmine didn't like the idea of her guards begin taken away. They were part of her hoard. Really the only hoard that she had. She did have the memory of Canterlot treasury. But that was only a memory. They were here and now. And they were being taken away. But what could she do? Nothing. She hated this feeling of powerlessness. |

Anduriel shrugged and motioned for the guards to open the gate, before moving to accompany the two dragons. "I have no reason to bar you entry, but your entire existence makes my skin crawl. Thus, I'll be accompanying you two for your time here in Canterlot." |

Deathfang snickered at the dragons comment. He was glad this dragon was uneased around him, it showed an amount of power over him. "I hope you do not mind graveyards" He grinned as he walked. "Oh and I do not believe I got your name, as you apparently know mine now." He said, looking at how fast the streets cleared at the sight of him with joy. Even with this other dragon he struck fear into the hearts of these pitiful creatures, who value looks and aesthetics way too much. "So my friend, as a dragon you must have quiet the hoard if your almost as big as I am. I would say your a few hundred years off three thousand? It must be quiet impressive, to have a cave filled with shiny metal that in the grand scheme of things holds as much value as someone is willing to buy it from you" He grinned, trying to strike up a conversation he assumed dragons would have. "However, I try for something more... worth something. I own the flesh of those I protect, and sleep within the graves I watch over. It will be a grand honor for those who sleep to have a dragon such as I watching over them as they sleep, with naught but the comfort of there presence in return" He chuckled. He saw absolutely nothing wrong with this conversation in the slightest, and that was clear. |

((Can Changelings think in a cypher to obscure information from the Hivemind? I don’t see why they wouldn’t be able to, but if not I’ll change my post.)) As it turns out Jack did NOT go to get the required paperwork for citizenship, for three reasons 1) Anduriel had no official authority over... well, much of anything actually, he was just an advisor to the Princesses. The only authority he had was because he was a giant fire breathing dragon, 2) “It was his job as a member of the Guild of Archive and Records to bear witness to potentially historical events such as this” 3) there is no three, and 4) All the paperwork was heavy enough that it took two earth ponies and a cart to drag it around. Instead he delegated the task to one of the guards hanging around who was more than happy for an excuse to get away from Deathfang. That done, he just settles back and blends into the background to observe what was happening. As he listened in he starts mental files on all those assembled, thinking them in a cypher to obscure them from being accessed by the general hivemind. Ah, though that last part was more out of habit than anything else. -Deathfang: Melodramatic, likely necrophiliac, potential to do something incredibly stupid. Keep under watch. -Mawh: Ugo-dragon. Looks uncomfortable in own body. Likely result of mentioned curse, more information required. Actions / emotions potentially inconsistent with story. Suspicious. -Anduriel: Same old, same old. -Deep Impact: Records suggest loyalty to recently deceased Princess Jasmine bordering on the point of stupidity. That he had apparently willingly been travelling with the necro and ugo dragons, enduring the fear aura, for some time instead of returning promptly to Canterlot or running around the back woods trying to avenge Jazzhands suggests that the dragons have some connection to her disappearance. More information required, currently low priority. For now though he’d be best off grilling for information on their curses. “Um, ah, w- wait! Excuse me!” Jack said, sprinting to keep up with the much longer legged dragons, “You said you wanted the Princesses help to stop you from looking like um...... yeah, right? Does that mean you’re cursed? Um, y- you’re really supposed to be examined by a team of Unicorns and file a report on how you were cursed first! T- to make sure it’s not dangerous to anypony or anything!” |

Anduriel nodded to the necro dragon and told him his name, before accompanying him into the city. "Indeed I do. I've actually taken over an entire cave network somewhere in Equestria," He was careful not to tell exactly where, thieves and all, "And the whole thing is worth nearly two billion bits. I do have several ponies in my hoard as well, those who I have taken into my protection and such. You'd be surprised how many of them just want a dragon watching over them, even if they don't have a problem requiring one to solve." |

Deep Impact felt a relief come every step that Deathfang put between them. It was only now that he realized how much of a toll traveling so close the the dragon had taken on him. However it was soon filled with a different sort of fear. Why were Anduriel and the pony from the archive so intent on keeping them from seeing Princess Luna? He hoped it was simply a matter of exhaustion, that the endless night was simply a chance for Her Majesty to gather up her strength. But what if there was more to it? After all legend had it that this wasn't the first time that this had occurred. That once she had... He shook his head. There was no way Princess Luna would do something like that again. She had been returned to normal by the Elements of Harmony! To even think that she would try to once again plunge Equestria into night eternal, was laughable! Still, perhaps ask around with the other guards just to be safe. |

OOC: Refer back to what Vees said on his bio. Also. The cipher would be stored along with everything else. Team of unicorns… Princess Jasmine started backing up. Frigging forget it. She'd rather be eaten by Deathfang than that. At least his death would be quick. She would not endure being poked and prodded by a team of unicorns. She didn't even want to go into that city. All she had seen of the outside world while in the castle had been the changelings visions of terror. And in reality? It had only been further proved from those bandits. The world outside Royal grounds was full of beasts in pony form. They were ponies, yes. But they were killers who would lash out in fear. They'd want to kill her. They'd be right to, for the monster she looked like. But Princess Jasmine didn't want to die. She wouldn't let herself walk into that city of horrors. Compared to what the populace of Equestria was capable of she would rather be eaten. No. She would not take it. "Run." She whispered so that only her three guards and Moral Compass could hear. Moral Compass scooped up Princess Jasmine onto his back and took off running. Sure they were slower, but Princess Jasmine wasn't in the best of states for running fast anyhow. They were going faster this way. |

Deathfang wished to crush the pathetic pony. "Keep your say out of the matters of dragons, I know the curse and I know it will not affect anyone else" She growled before he noticed Jasmine running off. "If you will excuse me, it seems the guards willpower failed them" He growled and her took three lunging steps and snatched Jasmine. "I don't care about the others, but if my daughter doesn't want to be laughed at for how she looks, she will stay with me" He growled. |

((As I was requested, I will be bowing out of this and several other threads, also, yes the cypher would be stored, along with several dozen fake cyphers, also, also, this is, well, ok, outside emotions MAY have affected this post, but it’s still in Jack’s character. He’s a troll.)) ’M’kay, that’s enough of that,’ “Heh, but it’s not a matter of just dragons, now is it? This isn’t a matter of races at all,” Jack says completely dropping his act. He gives Deathfang a smile that stretches, and stretches, and streeeeeeetches his face a good two feet beyond where it should naturally stop, ”It’s a matter that, if you’re wrong about it, could doom all of Equestria, and, well, now, that’d be bad wouldn’t it? BUT! As you wish, I’ll bow out here. Just remember that when it comes to information. Finding~~~ information. Storing~~~ information. Distributing~~~ information. The Guild of Archives and Records is simply the best there is. We can’t be beat. For example, Ol’ Impact back there was lying, Mr. Halitosis there likely had something to do with Jazzhand’s disappearance, and if frumpelstiltskin there’s really his daughter, why, I’ll eat my hat! Well, ok, I don’t own a hat, but I’d go out and buy one, THEN eat it!” With that, he literally bows down to those assembled and uses that motion to morph into a puddle of pumpkin goo which flows into a nearby alley and down a storm drain into the sewers running underneath Canterlot.
