Bon Bon put a hoof on her shoulder I'm pretty sure you arn't the reason for his actions of late. Anyway, other then his avoiding you has he done anything else odd? Aquired something he might have been hiding from you or wanted to keep to himself? We saw him hangin out in a back alley earlier today."

"I don't know." Honey sniffed. "He's been skipping work. I'm not the only one he's avoiding, he's doing it to friends and family. I'm really worried about him. I suppose he could be hiding something from me, it wouldn't be too hard since I don't see him anymore." Raziel stepped into the hallway. "What about the basement?" He asked the pegasus. "The basement? We never use it, it's always locked, there's just old furniture and stuff down there." "Not anymore." Raziel said and nodded towards Bon Bon. "You better see this."

Bon Bon was writting down and had figured a couple usefull if not definate answers. "Thanks for the information, woud you like to see? I would understand if it was to much." she said walking towards Raziel, "What have you found?"

"Yes, I think I'd like to see." The pegasus said. Raziel led them towards the basement door. It was broken open, clearly by Raziel as his claw marks shown in the door. "Watch your step." Around the inside of the door was barbed wire and broken glass, that would be dangerous to the unsuspecting visitor. Down below the walls of the basement was broken, dirt and rocks were dug up and there was a small pile of dark crystals in the center of the room. Raziel pulled a crystal out of the dirt. "He was either trying to hide the crystals in the dirt or trying to recreate something."

"Some crystals take root like plants." Bon Bon added walking up and pickingone up to examine them closer, "Have you ever seen him with one of these before or do you know what they are?" She asked the Pegasus mare that followed them.

"No I haven't." The pegasus said, shocked at what she was seeing in the basement. "He could have been, but I haven't been able to come near him ever since our anniversary."

A letter came flying through the house in smoke form reforming when it reached then in the basement, "Looks like a reply from the Swat team judging by the seal." Bon Bon said picking up the letter and reading it. "To put it short these are dark crystals grown in the Crystal kingdom. They have a highly addictive effect on Unicorns and a Disorrienting effect on Pegasi." she looked up at Honey, "You should stand back just to be safe. Over time they eventually loose their magic. Nothing happends to earth ponies however." She then walked up next to honey, "We have you're friend in custody at the office down town, you're free to speak with him if you wish. Though he doesn't seem to know much about the crystals, he is still rather out of it having been in contact with the crystals for so long. We'll be taking all these crystals into custody as well if you don't mind." She started back to the half burried crystals and started putting them away in her bags.

Honey backed away. "Yes please, take them. If they're the reason Painter has changed I never want to see them. And I'd really like to see him please." She almost begged. Raziel helped get the crystals. "What's the connection between these crystals and the purple mare though?" He asked.

"Aright then we will take these rocks with us and you can accompany us to the Swat headquarters where he's being held." bon Bon said before turning to Raziel, "As far as our mysterious Mare is concerned. Judging how she was sited coming out of the same alley we found painter hanging around with a bag of gems and that he's been getting shipments of gem by anonymous seller it's possible she's in on the whole gem fiasco. However She doesn't seem the one to put her head in other peoples business, to far at least. Either way It's my job to uncover this Underground Dark Crystal Seller and if you come along and Help the path should open up to the purple mare as well. What do you say."

"I would like to help anyway I can." Raziel said. "And the better if it takes me to my goal." He turned towards Bon Bon. "The artifact the purple pony stole, the Nosgoth, is very dangerous, especially in this world. The power contained within it has the will of my old master. He hated anything that went against the Wheel of Fate, anything that did not submit to the natural way of death. It would seem you have quite a few of these, like your mask friend. The Nosgoth will cause trouble sooner or later." Raziel turned away. "Please do not tell anybody you do not trust about this. Those that believe they are immortal can become unreasonable when they find out just how fragile immortality is."

"OK Then let's be off back to the office." Bon Bon said starting up the stairs, "And don't worry about Deadpool. We have ways of dealing with those who don't die." she added in reply to Raziel, "but I'll still keep quiet."

"Just thought you should know." Raziel said. "Since it looks like we'll be helping each other out for some time." Raziel followed after Bon Bon and Honey Bee brought up the rear, not really knowing what's going on.

"Good to know indeed, at least you're not insane like deadpool."
>The office
They walked into the building and went downstairs into the basement that was the swat teams headquarters. "Sir, could you direct us towards Painter? He's the unicorn colt you just caught tonight." She was talking to the leader of the team that caught him. "We have a friend that would like to see him. How's he doing?"

"He's not doing good." The swat pony said leading them towards the room they kept him in. "We can't let you into the same room as him, you'll have to talk to him through the glass." He let Honey Bee into a room with a chair and a window that looked into another room. Painter was sitting in a corner of the room wearing restraints on his hooves. "Painter!" Honey shouted the moment she saw him and Painter's head jerked up, he hobbled over to her as quickly as he could. "Honey! They took my gem!" He shouted at her. "They promised me they wouldn't! They promised! You have to get it back! Go get back my gem!" "Painter, please calm down." Honey said, tears forming anew in her eyes. "What's going on Painter? What have you done?" "The gem Honey! Just get the gem." He pleaded for her. "Just go to them and ask my gem." "Can you just forget the gem Painter!" The pegasus shouted. "What about me? Don't you care anything for me anymore?" Painter stared at her with big round eyes and then backed away slowly. "You're with them." He hissed. "You just want to keep the gem for yourself! You want all my gems!" He rushed back to the corner and hid his face from her. Honey burst into tears.
Berry was standing in front of an earth pony and two pegasi. "You're not unicorns, why do you want the gems?" She asked them. "They're useful, to help unicorns make decisions." One of them said. "Well, whatever. Just give me the payment and you can have your gems." "Yes, about that." The one that talked earlier replied again. "We thought you might give us a bit of discount." A human walked out of the shadows behind Berry and grabbed her, but somehow he grabbed too short and missed her completely, leaning over with arms full of nothing and Berry's back hooves inches from his face. Berry kicked back and knocked the human out. "Yeah, no bits no gems, take it up with my employer." She said and disappeared. "Damn! Find her!" The pony said.

Bon Bon felt deeply for honey, she turned to the Swat master that guided them in, "How long does the gems addictive effect last?" she asked hoping to have some good news to give to Honey who was beyond heartbroken. OOC: And another trail of breadcrumbs falls lol this is totally like those copper shows like Perry mason or Matlock... only with magic and deadpool

ooc: Then I'm at least doing somewhat of a good job. "He's been very badly exposed to the crystals." The swat pony replied. "By the deterioration rate so far I'd say a little more than a month before he's able to understand what's going on. About two moths before his magic returns. And more then four before he'll be able to have enough control over it to use it again."

"OK, we have a profile of the types of unicorns who will be effected like this. We'll run it through thr database and see if they have seen any other's in town acting the same. Most companies have more then one buyer so there should be more like him. We'll be keeping in contact in case we find anything else, Um mister...?" She realized she hadn't gotten this ponies name yet. OOC: This will be a very comprehensive rp. And it's all in one thread I think I'll convert this story to a Fanfic and submit it somewhere... if that's ok with you. Anyway we can get a good bit of story out of tracking down and hanging up the buyers of the last batch Berry tried to sell. should be an interestign mini arc.

OOC: Sounds like a plan. So many OCs forming in this arc. The pony took of his glasses. "Raceshoe Cane, ma'am." He gave his name. "Part of forensics." He nodded towards Honey who was still in tears. "What about her?" ooc:

BIC: "She's Painters special somepony, said he had been avoiding her and pretty much everypony else for some time. How long will you need to hold him? is there a program you can enter him into?"

"We're arranging something for him." Raceshoe said. "It's best if we keep him contained though, without the crystals he can become a danger to others and himself. How long we end up keeping him though, that all depends on him."

"Alright, What kind of visitation will he get? I'll send out letters to his friends, family and employers." Bon Bon said turning to Honey, "Such a shame that it effects them so. It's a good thing Lyra hadn't grabbed one when we were questioning him upstairs."

"The family and friends can see him at any time." Raceshoe answered. "It may do him some good, but as you can see, he may not be too happy to see them." He took a paper from a file. "It is very fortunate that your partner didn't touch the crystal. We're still analyzing it, but there's no doubt that it has a high addictive effect on unicorns. The smallest touch could leave them obsessed with it." He handed the paper, containing their findings so far about the crystal, to Bon Bon.

"Thanks." She took the papers and walked up to Honey, "I'll be working two floors up and I need to go now if you need anything do tell me and I'll see what I can do. I'll notify his other friends and Family about his status so you don't have to." She put a hoof on Honey's shoulder as she said it.

"Thanks." Honey said through tears. "Is it alright if I go back to his place?" She asked. "I. I just want to try and remember the old Painter."
Berry walked out of her apartment and turned a corner to go get something to eat. She stopped at the end of the dark allay. "Yes?" She asked a little annoyed. "You have good eyes." Flam said leaning against the wall in the deep darkness, his face hidden. "Good eyes?" She snickered. "Yeah, let's go with that. I thought there should be no contact until my end was done?" "True, but you saved us quite a bit of cash tonight." Flam whispered. "I don't like being double crossed and I do like an employee that can do their work." He throw a bag of bits on the ground in front of Berry. "Just a little bonus." He said and walked off. Berry picked up the bag and walked off as well.

"That should be fine. And if you find something odd or out of place give us a call. Especially if you find more crystals, they're dangerous to pegasi as well." Bon Bon made her way out the door and upstairs, "Come on Raziel, we have work to do."

Honey nodded and left. Raziel followed after Bon Bon. "Doesn't look like we found a solid lead, what do we do from here?" He asked.

Well we've gone from looking for a purple mare to scratching the surface of a possible ring of Dark Crystal salesmen, found that she might be a part of it and have a working profile for Unicorns that might have the crystals. Altogether I'd say that's pretty good for one nights work and the only thing we can't perseve here is what if ponies other then Unicorns go after the dark crystals. Tracking them down, if they exsist, will be difficult because it leaves a less obvious trail to pick up. Either way it's late and I think it's about time we call it a night. You might be immortal and I'm sure deadpool is a night owl but Me and Lyra need our rest." Bon Bon explained as they made their way up he stairs and into the main loby of the detective suit.

"It is strange how something like rest goes unforgotten by beings like us." Raziel apologized. "You should get your rest, at least the purple mare would need hers as well."

"Haha, fair enough." Bon Bon said when she opened the door to the office where Lyra and Deadpool had each other at gunpoint. "What is the meaning of this?!?" Bon Bon yelled at the site. "HE STARTED IT!" Lyra yelled in turn and Deadpool yelled the same with she instead of he of course. "Note to self... don't leave them alone." she said with a face hoof.

ooc: lol Honey opened the door to Painter's place and locked it again after she entered. She felt so lost and didn't know how all this could have happened, and she felt so helpless. She picked up a picture on the table that had her and Painter together in a hug on a picnic. Her eyes started to tear up again and she lost her grip on the frame. It fell to the floor, but thank goodness it didn't break. She reached down to pick it up, but her hoof paused. There was a little piece of paper on the floor that looked like it had been pushed under the door. She picked it up and looked at it. There was a time and placed scribbled on it.
