OOC: is the italic words hidden within the regular words or is that what she is really saying?

ooc: The italic is her child personality, it's a softer sound that echoes through Blankflank's speech. Yep, could have explained that better earlier, dang hindsight! It's basically the real feelings she's having that's strong enough to come through her defense. Blankflank herself isn't aware that it's being said out loudly.

OOC: I'll treat the italic voice a a sound that can only be heard when listened for but not when your focused on Blank Flank. Cheerilee ran into the room "STOP! I want to stay here with Usopp!" Mayor Mare jumped a bit "Cherilee! When did you get there?" "I just get back with Usopps help"

"Then you agree with me? Why?" Blankflank asked Cheerilee. "You are satisfied with what I gave you?" "No Cheerilee!" Pinkie said. "We can't leave you here, what about everypony back home?"

"Oh, yes. It's much better because my students never have to leave and I can teach forever. I think my friends need a bit longer to understand the benifits of this place. Can I take them around and show them that it's much better here?" Cheerilee said ignoring Pinkie Pie. Mayor mare was a bit in shock "Cheerilee! have you gone crazy!?!"

"You want to stay?" Blankflank asked, obviously confused. "But your friends doesn't seem to agree. I'll give you some time to decide, but remember that if you choose to stay, you can never go back." Blankflank walked to her throne and sat down.

Cheerilee immediatley pulled her friends and the other people in close "*just above a wisper* Come on guys we need to stay here and help Blank Flank. I'll give you two reasons why. First, If we leave now we can be done with this pony and move on with our lives but if we can help her we still get out in the end and Two when we got here she immediatley asked if we where her friends. That means if we don't help her now and leave she'll just go around and abduct some other ponies trying to find her friends. Staying and helping blank flank is the best move we have not only for us and for the other ponies outside but for blank flank." She saited for a reply, Mayor Mare was deep in thought over it.

"Well duh!" Pinkie said. "Of course we're going to help her. But how? How do we get her out of this world?" "This isn't really my style." Laharl said. "But this place is too unsettling to leave as it is, count me in."

Mayor Mare looked up, "Your logic is sound, I'll help in any way I can." Cheerilee smiled "Sounds like a plan. Usopp is waiting downstairs seeing as he hasn't come inside yet. We need to see what information we can get out of Blank Flank. I've heard Incognito is much more resillant."

"Then let's go before Blankflank decides to send us back or keep us here forever." Pinkie said heading for the door. "We'll be right back Blankflank, don't go anywhere." She said as she left. Blankflank only stared at them.

Cheerilee watched Pinkie Pie leave then huddles back with the others, "I don't think Pinkie Understands that even if we are trapped here forever, we'll be free if we free Blank Flank. Let's see what we can get out of Blank Flank without being forced out of this world then go get her." "Sounds good to me" Mayor Mare said turning to Laharl, "You in?"

Post by Bio Plus on Jan 8, 2013 20:06:11 GMT -5
"Yes, I'm in." Laharl said. "But don't underestimate your Pink friend, we may be free if we can save Blankflank, but if she keeps us in this world, there is no guarantee that we'll ever be able to get back to this castle or even see Blankflank again."

"I've thought of that and from what I've seen she'll show up to protect those under her care but that's a last resort. I've also noticed this plane seems to react to our thoughts even if not as much or as quickly as hers. I think we can find her if we work on it long enough. I'm not saying it'll be easy or even possible but it's a chance I'm willing to take. Who knows who else might get pulled into this world to help? we have a lot of things working for us as well. We need to talk to Blank Flank before she get's suspicious are you two ready?" "I'm ready when you guys are" they both turned to Laharl.

"Let's do it." Laharl said laughing. "It's not fun if it's too easy anyway."
Pinkie bounced out the the door and saw Usopp. "Usopp! You're alright!" She said and gave him a hug. "Yeah, I'm fine." Usopp said with a lopsided smile. "Did Cheerilee find you and tell you the plan?" "Yep!"

"Alrighty then." Cheerilee and mayor mare turned around and sat, next to each other, before Blank Flank. "We've Descided to stay here. Right you two?" Mayor Mare nodded her head in agreement with a bit of an mmhmm.

Laharl nodded his head in agreement. Blankflank stared at them suspiciously, she was confused and wary about their decision, she didn't understand it. "If you wish to stay then leave my castle. Why? Those who want to leave may stay, those who want to stay must leave."

"Well, can't we ask some questions first? I mean if we are going to be staying here forever I think we should know more about our gracious host." said Cheerilee with a smile.

"Whatever you desire or fear you will find outside." Blankflank said. "What else is there to know?"

"We'll that we already know from being out there earlier," mayor mare said with her own little innocent smile, "But what about this place? what about you? if we wan't to see you will some random version of you appear or will that also be a figment of our imaginations?" Mayor mare finished Cheerilee speaking up right after "Besides, you've made it quite clear that you hate two things Traitors and Liars so I don't want to abandon you and give you the wrong impression. We won't try and leave or nothing but to return and see you might be fun every now and then."

"I, I, I want." Blankflank put a hoof to her head, her whole body shook. "You're trying to be friends. Please. Friends are traitors. Must protect. I don't want friends, I don't want friends ever again! Get out! Get out!" Usopp and Pinkie ran into the room together after hearing the screaming. "What happened!?" Usopp asked Cheerilee. "This isn't good, she's remembering her past. There's no telling what she'll do, she may hide herself away from us and we'll never be able to save her." "Then we should help her remember." Pinkie said. "What!" Usopp exclaimed. "That's the last thing we must do." "No!" Pinkie said firmly. "We should help her remember why she protected her friends and why it's important to have new friends and that those friends should protect her now."

Cheerile sturdied her stance as did Mayor Mare, "We're ready to accept this. Usopp, you speak as one who has been sent from her site by this before and yet you are seeing her again. Even if we are sent away we mustn't give up hope that everything we do here will effect her in one way or another." Cheerilee said looking right at Blank Flank, Mayor mare stared intently in silence at Blank Flank as well.

"That's because I made her happy." Usopp said. "If she's not happy she'll hide herself away." "Please stop Blankflank!" Pinkie shouted at the angry unicorn. "Your friends didn't betray you, you wanted to protect them, that's why you're still protecting them." "Friends? No! They betrayed me! They left me here! Must protect." Blankflank said starting shaking even more.
ooc: On a side note, I'm tying to install a sense of urgency to Cheerilee and Mayor Mare. I don't want them to be send away, because it'll create too much of a back and forth where Blankflank always has time to strengthen her defenses.

OOC: Ah ok I get it let's try this then *draws a card and plays another from his hand onto the field.
BIC: Cheerilee and Mayor Mare took a step back, "This is getting Out of control we need to do something." Cheerilee said turning to Mayor Mare. Then the Mayor remembered what Celestia told them. "Blank Flank, When I was trying to get my cutie mark and Cheerilee as well, (though I can't really remember if Cheerilee has gotten her cutie mark back yet) No matter what we did or why we got our cutiemarks it was always to befriend and protect at our core. Your friends are your friends and you are their protector that can't be hard to believe."

ooc: Nice.
"Cutie mark? Cutie mark?" Blankflank stopped shaking. "I'm protecting. My friends." Then she grabbed her head with both hooves. "No! You're trying to trick me!" The walls around them started shaking now. "You want to help Incognito!" "No! We want to help you!" Pinkie said. "We want to protect him from you too." Blankflank looked up and one of the necklaces flew off the table towards Pinkie. Laharl jumped in front of her and blocked it with his sword, but it passed through the sword and snapped closed around his neck. Laharl grabbed at it, but it was stuck and he was slowly disappearing. "Try hugging her." He told Pinkie before disappearing from this world and back to Town Hall. At the same time Cheerilee and Mayor Mare switched back to their own bodies.
ooc: Didn't know if you had something specific planned for the body switch, but I need them to be in their own bodies for a very important part. I can however use another approach, so I can still edit if you want to keep the bodies switched.

"It's the last thing we have. Come on pinkie me and Mayor marewill stand to your side and protect you! You need to remind her how friendship feels phisically. That should set her mind straight." Mayor mare stood to her right and Cheerilee to her left they waited for Pinkie Pie to initiate the charge.

"Alright! You have to let us help you Blankflank!" With those words Pinkie rushes towards Blankflank. "I won't." Blankflank said and three more necklaces moved from the table towards the ponies. Usopp dove in front of them, the necklaces closing around his neck and arms. This gave Pinkie enough time to jump and catch Blankflank with a hug. "I'll wait for you in the real world my nakama." Usopp told Blankflank with tears in his eyes. Blankflank looked in horror as Usopp disappeared. "NOOOO!" The scream was deafening and the loud crying of a child ringed through the castle. Large cracks formed in the walls and the world started shaking. "He's waiting for you Blankflank!" Pinkie pleaded. "Let us be your friends, let's go back together!. Cheerilee! Mayor! I can't do it alone, you have to help me!?" Pinkie shouted at her friends.

Mayor Mare and Cheerilee had trouble keeping up with Pinkie Pie but when they did they too embraced Blank Flank from the left and right squeezing tightly. "You don't need to be the protector any more, be the friend that we protect." Cheerilee said in her ear

"No!" Blankflank screamed. "I must protect them. I don't know what to do!? My friends, my Mom, my Dad!" "Cheerilee!" Pinkie yelled towards her. "You have to make her see the truth! You have to tell her the truth! It's what friends do."
Incognito was standing at the door. "Yes!" He hissed with pure delight, his fur standing up in excitement. "It's working, it's working. Soon I'll be free. Free from here and free from the Everfree Forest I'll be! Taking away my powers is true, but I'm still capable of hurting you! Celestia." "Get ready Mayor." The soft voice of Celestia sounded in Mayor Mare's mind.

Cheerilee sighed and took a step back. She placed her hoof on Blank Flanks forehead and moved it to the Blank Flanks left temple. Moving her hair out of the way she looked deep into Blank Flanks eyes, "Blank Flank this is enough. You need to stop all the lies and realize that the people who protect you are your friends so you are the greatest friend your friends had even if they didn't know it and we are your friends since we are here to protect you. This temper tantrum won't get you anywhere so come with us and we'll show you what real friends are." OOC: That's all I got totally killing it right now and not in a good way.

ooc: That's not true, sometimes you need to give way to a little sappiness. Words from the heart usually sound that way and it makes it feel real. One of the best moments in the third Pokemon movie was a sappy speech about the battles being real and the friendship being real.
"My friends! Protect! I... I... I..." Blankflank's voice was changing and tears ran down her face. The next words wasn't the voice of Blankflank, but that of a little filly, trapped in a lonely world for a very long time. "I'm afraid!" She cried out and she closed her eyes as tears streamed from them. "Help me." She managed to say, barely audible through her crying.
Princess Celestia's voice again come to the Mayor. "Now Mayor! Grab Incognito! And whatever you do, don't let go!"
