Fandom The Dawn Brigade, Equestria's Fall (EF)

[Pleaseworkforonce]

Greenwall crouches behind a corner her chamleon combined with the general darkness renders her invisble to most ponies. Silently she waits for Taffy to leave before she pulls a vial from her armor (she has a lot of pockets btw). Time to find out what's in the box.

 

[Balancer]

Iagio's grin fades as he hears the door close. "Ugh, that Equestrian. Always so cheery." He mutters, fidling with the package.


One of the brutes shrugs. "Does good work though." He says as the fat zebra begins to open the package, turning away slightly.


Taffy whistles to himself as a skips down the road, a grin on his face as the crumpled sound of an explosion rips through the early morning air.


 
(Yeahhh. Following Taffy isn't a good idea.)

 

[ZeiruliousMakavar]

Heaven sighed, watching Taffy leave the area. "Do you wish me to follow him?" Heaven asked, watching the proceedings. "I can do so easily if it's what you desire." She said, turning to watch Taffy again. "Unless you desire something else."

 

[Pleaseworkforonce]

Greenwall quickly throws a shield over herself as the explosion rocks the building. Greenwall scowls as she lowers her shield and a groan escapes her lips as the ashes covering her shield stain her white coat. Shaking her head Greenwall turns towards the ninja "Yeah these ashes will probably ruin any excuse I could come up with if someone sees me. Tail him for now. I should catch up once I no longer look like I was just in a fire."

 

[Balancer]

Taffy skips into town as the sounds of emergency services begins to clutter the air, an explosion going off in town so soon after fall of the Crystal Empire was sure to rustle a few jimmys. As he wanders out onto the main street Taffy immediately switches into a more nonchalant, if slightly worried look as he heads towards the shopping centers.

 

[ZeiruliousMakavar]

Heaven nodded, quickly sliding out of the wreck of the building. "A quick wash should fix that ma'am." She said chuckled, as she turned and slowly moved to follow Taffy. Hm... He shouldn't recognize me so a more stealthy approach might work... She thought to herself, taking the hood off. Should I take the usual route, or a more direct route... She sighed, shaking her head chuckling a bit, as she tailed him. I wonder if seduction might work...

 

[Balancer]

Still humming to himself as walks into a nice cafe Taffy flashes a grin at a couple of waitress and sits down at one of the outside tables, admiring the view.

Greenwall shakes her head as she teleports back to the barracks. Quietly she sneaks past the multitude of soldiers and sneaks to the showers. Greenwall silently enters the shower and turns it on at full heat before banging her head against the shower wall, the location of the showers far enough from the rest of the soldiers to not wake them. Have I really sunken this low? I thought he was dead and the first thing I do is have him tail some pony to keep me out of trouble. Ah buck it. Greenwall ends her internal monologue and the shower as she steps out and dries off, quickly taking her medicine before returning to the street, donning a grey hooded cloak.


 
(Hey I'm going to be a bit busy for an hour, so don't talk to my character or you may be stuck for a little bit)

 

[Balancer]

A thin smile covers Taffy's face as sips his coffee, a copy of the days paper in front of him. That went much better than expected, shame about Fransico though, he was a nice guy. He thinks to himself, recalling the large zebra.

 

[ZeiruliousMakavar]

(That's fine.)


Heaven watched him as he entered the café, still debating on which approach would work to get the info she needed from him. Smiling softly to herself, she shrugged and changed out of her ninja gear, into a more appropriate garb of a minor noblewoman. Quickly moving to returning to watch Taffy, she silently approached the café, sitting down at one of the tables near him, close enough to hear him, but far enough that if he saw her before then, it wouldn't be suspicious that she was there. "Just a menu for now dear." She said, nodding at the waitress.

 

[Balancer]

(Can do)


 
Taffy's grin widens a bit as he watches what appeared to be a minor noble out of the corner of his eye. Nice set of wings on her. He thinks to himself as he turns the page slowly.

 

[ZeiruliousMakavar]

(Just as a post of reference, to determine how Heaven should behave around Taffy, as she's undercover as her 'normal' self, what exactly is his background?)


Heaven nodded at the waitress who returned with the menu. "Thank you," She said, nodding again as the waitress left to tend to other customers. She glanced over the menu, absently reading it as she strained her ears to listen incase anything to do with Taffy happened.

 

[Balancer]

(He was a solar but got kicked into what is essential a penal legion for being to extreme. A massive jerk and shameless flirt but wouldn't actually break the law or hurt a good person if he can avoid it. Also used to serve under Blue a few years back.)


 
Taffy finishes his coffee and goes to leave, tipping the waitress with a flirtatious wink that causes the mare to blush slightly as he leaves. Today is gonna be a good day. He thinks to himself as he heads into town to do some shopping.

 

[ZeiruliousMakavar]

Heaven sighed, watching Taffy leave, sighing. "I'll just take something light for now dear." She said, to the waitress when she approaches. "I have several gatherings to attend to, and I do not want to take anything heavy." She sighed, shaking her head observing where Taffy was headed. "In fact, if possible I will take it to go, I have to many things to do today to relax."

 

[Balancer]

Hmm, let's see. I'm currently flush with money so what do I want to do? Don't drink and don't smoke so that's out of the picture and I don't much feel like buying much of anything right now. Besides I can't get anything to flashy or it'll raise uncomfortable questions, that and get stolen. Taffy pauses, looking around slowly only for his eye to catch on a rather pretty mare outside a spa house. Hmmmm, well I have been feeling quiet stressed recently...oh I know. A nice relaxing salt scrub might do me good, maybe even get a happy ending if I play my cards right. He thinks, a sly grin on his face as he heads towards the spa house.

 

[ZeiruliousMakavar]

(From the sound of his thoughts, seduction would work very well... Very well indeed.)


Heaven sighed, after paying the waitress the bill, giving a slight bit higher tip then usual. She wandered slightly around, looking for Taffy, so she could slightly tail him again. "A spa house?" She said to herself, shaking her head. "Oh the things I do for friends..." She said, shaking her head again, as she moved to pass the spa house, behaving as if she was a noblewoman out looking for things for a gathering.

 

[Balancer]

(So you think.)


"Hello how can I help you sir?" A rather striking young unicorn mare asks from behind a counter, her eyes flicking over his armor.


Shooting a charming smile at the pretty young secretary, Taffy pulls a few bits out of his bag. "On leave from base so I though I might, strip out of this stuff and get a nice relaxing rub down."


"Oh?" The mare asks, blushing slightly. "Not often we get soldiers in here." She says, taking his money.


Taffy shrugs as he is lead into the building. "I like to take the opportunity to take care of myself. While the army does like to give us mud baths they also like to through explosives around at the same time."

 

[ZeiruliousMakavar]

(Will you still be controlling the mare behind the counter for interacting between Heaven or not? Just to verify.)


Heaven soon walked into the spa house, carrying a couple of bags with her. She looked around softly to for a spot to place the bags, eyeing Taffy at the counter. Her eye twitched slightly, though that could have been because of him, or the bags.

 

[Balancer]

(Will do)


The young mare's eyes flick over to Heaven, taking in her outfit and stature with a glance. "Ah wonderful to see you here ma'am, how may I help you today?" She asks, injecting a false cheery tone into her voice.

 

[ZeiruliousMakavar]

Heaven nodded, before shaking her head. "There is no need for the false cheer, I am well aware that you do not desire to pretend to enjoy the presence of a noble, even a minor one." She said, setting the bags down near Taffy, shaking her head again. "As the gatherings I will be needed for, are not until later on in the day, I have time to relax. Time tat I have not had in a long time." She said, sighing again. "Tell me soldier," She said, turning to look at him "Do you not agree that relaxation should be taken when it can?"

 

[Balancer]

The mare looks away slightly. "Oh ah, sorry ma'am. I didn't mean any disrespect."


Taffy nods, a smile on his face. "Of course, stress can be so unhealthy when you let it fester. I find it to be very therapeutic to just take a day off to relax when I can, not that I'm going to get many of them from now on. Glad I get to spend it pleasant company though." He says with a laugh.

 

[Pleaseworkforonce]

Greenwall trots out of the guard station, a stack of files in her magical grip. Slowly she glances through the papers, her eyes darting through the papers as she reads the information on the zebras that are now dust in the wind.


(So is there any dirt Greenwall can dig up on Taffy because of this, or is what he did pretty much legal for the brigade)

 

[ZeiruliousMakavar]

Heaven chuckled, shaking her head. "You did not disrespect me in the slightest." She said, nodding at the mare. "Tell you what," She said smiling at Taffy. "Why don't you get one of the larger rooms ready for us." She said, turning to the mare again. "I will pay for the both of us. It should not be too much of an expense." She chuckled.


(Unknown as of yet, she's attempting to seduce him.)

 

[Balancer]

(They were a minor branch of the Zebra mafia equivalent that he had done some couriering for on the grounds they stay out of the drug trade.)


 
Taffy's eye brow's raise slightly. "Well that is most generous but regrettably I have already paid, though I'm sure there would be no trouble in us splitting the cost of a room?"" He says with a charming smile. First I see her at the cafe then she wants to split a room, either she's going to stab me or I forgot to turn my swagger down.

(Also he did just up and murder a bunch of peps, so yeah pretty illegal.)

 

[ZeiruliousMakavar]

Heaven chuckled, shaking her head. "I do not think it will be a problem either." She said nodding at Taffy. "Before we continue however, I believe we should introduce ourselves." She said, holding out a hoof to him. "I am Heaven Star, hailing from La Pegasus." She said, smiling at him, half hoping he didn't recognize her name as one of the major ninja clans.
