ooc: Uh, Berry didn't blame the cat for that. She realized that the sticky stuff was something that didn't belong there and was probably used by whoever kidnapped the family. She blamed the cat for getting her involved with something strange. The substance is a very sticky, white and chemically made. Something that isn't common at all and shouldn't be there. And anything else strange you can find with it. "Please Miss." The newbie told Lyra. "I, am only tr-rying to help. The punks pr-robably just wanted to destr-roy stuff. The theft was just a bonus for-r them. Vandals have gotten more out of hand lately."

OOC: You didn't describe the substance before. You just said and as someone who owns three cats and has found various, stick, messes on walls (that I did not stick my and in mind you) I figured the cat had a little accident. I can work with that description though.
BIC: Secretary moved on from the books that Bon Bon was still reading and noticed the mess on the wall, "This isn't in the average household either. Even a professors house." Secretary said and pointed out the goop on the wall. Also, the door was bolted from the inside. That's a lot of coincidental behavior for you missing family." She added, turning to look at Bon Bon. "I know what it looks like but there's still a chance they bolted it from the inside and took the back entrance out, though I have to admit this is weird." Lyra rummaged through her bag and pulled out a vial which she scrapped some goo into, "Come on, before the police show up and do us in for trespassing." Bon Bon said and started downstairs. Secretary stayed for a moment longer, taking in every detail of the room with every sense turned up to full throttle. Once content she'd coined all she could from the room, she followed after Bon Bon and locked the door behind her, leaving her own special way and regrouping with Bon Bon out front. "So where are we going to get this goop tested?" Bon Bon asked and Secretary simply shrugged. "Call in a favor at the University? They might have the Equipment for it." Secretary offered and Bon Bon thought about it before nodding agreement. The two made their way to Manehattan University to get the samples tested.
Lyra put her hoof to her face, "Alright, fine. I'm still an eye witness who might have seen the vandalism take place, or at least the perps making their escape. If you want me to be able to find them then tell me what you know. Now." Lyra said, looking the man straight in the eye, "Start with what was taken why don't you? And don't miss a detail."

ooc: I know I didn't describe it before, that's why I did now. I only explained that Berry didn't blame the cat for that. And, yeah, I didn't know cat's were that gross. Also, Lyra can't look the man in the eye since his hat is pulled down too far to hide his face. "I alr-ready told you ever-rything we know Miss." The newbie said. "This is just a r-routine case, No need for-r special investigations. Ever-rything is being handled. You may go home and not worr-ry about this, Miss."

OOC: Then take it proverbially (lyra looking him in the eye). And Cat's can be nastey but it's usually your fault. Changing their food in one go instead of slowly working them into a new diet can give them the runs. Not Giving them their hairball formula. Not brushing them or setting the temp too high in your house. Things like that are the reason most people don't like cats but it's all part of the upkeep.
BIC: Lyra looked still at the man, "Son. I'm going to have to ask you to step aside before you say something you will regret. I know what I saw and I will be investigating this no matter what you say." She said and pressed her hoof against his chest. She then pushed him back with the strength of one arm like she were pushing air and stepped past the tape, "If you'll excuse me. I've got a store owner to talk to." she made her way to the frantic pony from earlier.
OOC: If this newbie is a double agent, Lyra won't notice. It's not something she'd pick up on at least. And I'm just assuming, given the situation, that he might be a double agent myself.

ooc: Don't worry, I've got this. The newbie was brushed aside easily, but he ran back in front of Lyra and put a hoof on her chest. "Please Miss. Ther-re is nothing wr-rong her-re. Please go home and don't worr-ry your-rself." "What's going on here!?" The head guard said walking back to Lyra. "Newbie! Didn't I tell you to answer her questions!?" "I, have been telling her ever-rything we know Sir-r."

"Well! If that's the case then you guys must know nothing!" Lyra snapped at the newb, "You don't know what's been taken. You don't know what kind of security the shop had or if it was tripped. You don't know if any clues were found at the scene like hair or some other bodily fluid. And you don't know any motives for the crime." Lyra almost yelled at the pony, "Get your hoof off me." She said and and pulled him down by the arm she was touching her with and pressing against his forearm to hold him down, "I need to speak to the guy that got robbed since he'll know more about this then you will it seems."

"Please calm down Miss." The head guard said. "What have you been telling her, newbie? You know we got fur and material samples in the broken glass and the store owner can't stop crying about the stolen slab." The newbie turned back to Lyra and put his other hoof on her chest. It should have broken his arm, but eerily it bended that way and Lyra was holding the other arm in a disturbing way that shouldn't have been possibly. "Please Miss. That evidence was not impor-rtant and we alr-ready got r-rid of it. Go home and do not wor-ry about it. We ar-re taking care of ever-rything."

Lyra looked and for a moment thought the pony was deformed or that she'd broken him. She backed away and ignored the newbie, "Can I go talk to the store owner? I want to ask about that slab. And can you keep me posted on the fur samples?" She said trying to clam down, "I'm done with this guy." She pointed to the newbie again.

The head guard shook his head after being shocked at what he saw. "Well I'm not! What do you mean you got rid of the evidence!?" He asked the newbie. The newbie's arm bended back and he walked towards Lyra to put his hoof on her again. "Please Miss. Go home." "I'm talking to you Newbie!" The guard said grabbing the pony. The hat covering his face fell off and, though they looked normal at a glance, his eyes weren't normal at all. They were painted on the eyeballs. The head guard gave a step back out of surprise.

Lyra put a hoof on Newbies chest in response to him touching her again, "You were warned." She said and noticed the eyes, "I see..." Lyra cracked a smile, "I wonder what you know." Lyra said and looked over to the guard, "I suppose I can question this guy by ANY MEANS NECESSARY?" She asked the guard.

The guard nodded his head, too stunned to say a word. Suddenly the newbie's chest popped open and a black and red mechanical spider jumped out onto Lyra's face. It spit out a white sticky web over her eyes and mouth. Another spider climbed out and ran into the shop and a third ran to the street and into the sewer. The newbie's body fell to the ground motionless.

Lyra jumped back and grabbed at her face, swatting off the giant spider and smashing it under hoof. Her ears twitched to the sound of the mechanical spiders everywhere. Guided by her sense of hearing, she ran for the closest sound which was the one in the store and she barreled through a display case and lunged at the spider from again to step on it's arms but not the main unit.

The spider that Lyra stepped on scratched at Lyra with its sharp little arms that she didn't step on. "Please Miss." The newbie's body said from where it sat lifeless. "I have a message for-r you."

"Then say it, but I'm not letting go." Lyra said, despite the pain of holding onto the spider.

The newbies' head turned towards Lyra and the voice that came next was that of a woman. "You should have listened and left this alone. Now I've got to say goodbye the hard way." The newbie's voice turned back to how it was. "This message will self destr-ruct in five seconds. 5.. 4.."

"CRAP!" Lyra exclaimed and smashed the spider between her hooves. "3" Lyra summoned forth all her speed and power as she bridged the gap between her and the robot such that she was underneath it. "2" With her hind legs pressed against it's underbelly, she pushed the robot high into the air and held out her hooves to it. "1" Lyra's cutie mark took the form of a crossbow in her hooves and she shot a bolt at the robot. Before the bolt even hit, it detonated, causing an explosion that almost skimmed the buildings given it's diameter and would hopefully direct most of the unknown explosion upward instead of towards the city. "0"

ooc: It exploded and then said "0"? The head guard and clerk both fainted. Somewhere the three thieves stood at attention. The voice of the woman talked to them from behind a curtain. "I didn't order you to steal jewelry, so why did you?" "We didn't Miss Craft." The pony said. The little thief bumped against him and after a bit he replied. "But Natasha thinks that there could have been somepony else there with us." "Fools." The woman said. "Go find out who it was and get rid of them. I don't want anything leading here." "Get rid of them, Miss Craft?" The pony asked. "Fine, I'll get rid of them. You just find them." "Yes, Miss craft. And about those special parts?" "They're not ready yet. Take this for now." She said and a bag filled with bits were thrown at there feet.

OOC: At 1 Lyra's bolt exploded. At 0 the bomb would have exploded but I was leaving that to you to roleplay since it was your bomb.
Lyra took a deep breath and got up. She grabbed the smashed spider and the clerk and hit him a few times to try and wake him up, "Oi. I need to ask some questions." she said loudly

The clerk woke up with a start. "Please stop, I surrender!" He pleaded.

OOC: She wasn't hitting him hard, by the way just... love taps, yaknowatahmean BIC: Lyra helped the clerk to his feet, "I need to know what was taken and why it's valuable if I'm going to have any chance of recovering it and finding the culprit." Lyra explained quickly.

ooc: Iknowwhatyoumean, but he's eccentric ifyouknowwhatImean. "Valuable? Valuable!" The clerk said. "It's priceless! It was the star attraction to my shop! It drew ponies from all over the world. It's an ancient artifact said to bestow untold beauty, or some such. But more importantly, it cost me a fortune to get it!"

"Oi, oi. You still haven't told me what it is yet. I can think of a great many priceless things so you'll need to be more specific then that. I'll need a picture and "WHY!" it's so priceless." Lyra said, trying to keep him on subject.

"Aren't you listening!" The clerk asked. "It's an ancient artifact! That's why it's priceless. It is priceless because it's an ancient artifact! It dates back to pre-Equestria from the unicorn tribe. Here, I have a picture of it on one of my advertisements." He said and took a paper out from behind the desk and gave it to Lyra.

"Finally, something I can work with." Lyra said and took the pictures, "So what else do you know about it so I can possibly narrow it down. I need specifics, like from when is it and why would someone go through the trouble of stealing it. Is it magical or does it have some legend surrounding it. Things of that nature." Lyra asked, looking the picture over.

Post by Bio Plus on Sept 18, 2014 15:14:02 GMT -5
The Clerk put a hoof over his face. "I told you! It's from pre-Equestria times. And the legend is that it will bestow untold beauty on anypony that uses it. But of course it's not really magical! It's all fantasy and dreams. Do you really think there would be a real powerful artifact in some random shop that somepony can just walk in and buy with a large bag of gold!? That's crazy!"

"Yeah. Such a thing couldn't possibly happen." Lyra said with extreme sarcasm as she walked over to the Guard and repeated the hitting process, saying "wake up" over and over again.

"Yes, yes, I'm awake." The guards said. "I've been awake for a while now." He whispered so just Lyra could hear. "I was actually hopping you'd keep the clerk busy long enough for me to slip away."

Lyra, catching on real quick after having to deal with the crazy clerk, walked away, "Seems he'll need some real help to wake up. I just wish I knew what the preliminary examination of the hair was before it was destroyed." Lyra said, hoping the officer would at least tell her that, even if he had to whisper it. She slowly picked up her bag, chair, and box of stuff , which was nearby.

"I'm sorry I can't help you Miss, but if what the imposter said is true then we never even got to examine it." The guard whispered. "I can tell you that we found hair on the doors as well as scratch marks over the locks. They didn't do a good job picking the locks, but they did somehow still manage to stop the security alarm from triggering. The vault was also broken into, but it's a little weird. While we found a mess of clues in the main room we didn't find a single one in the vault, we don't know how they got in there either as the lock doesn't seem to have been picked. Not the way it was with the doors anyway."

"Thanks." Lyra whispered and went to investigate the scratches on the door and lock. She wanted to look at the rest of the cirme scene, but didn't want to deal with the clerk anymore. She took the picture and walked off down the street where she was following the three last night.
