ooc: Just to make clear. The nurse is one of the puppets that was built by craft and wasn't ever alive. Her friends, those that she gave new bodies, she keeps close to her since she's protective about them. K' time to up the ante.
"Well you two don't look like you belong here." Berry told the two ponies inside prison cell. They looked up surprised. "Are you more of that demon's henchmen?" The colt with the glasses asked and the mare hugged him. "No, just passing by. Let me get you out of there." Berry said working on the lock. The pony with the glasses rushed to the door. "No, please! Forget about us! Please go look for my daughter! I'm afraid she may be in great danger." "Whoa there buddy." Berry told him. "Keep it calm." "You don't understand." The colt said. "They had me translate some kind of ancient artifact and it turns out to be some dark magic that keeps you young, but it needs a child sacrifice! They're going to sacrifice my daughter!" "Alright! Alright! I'll go look for her." Berry opened the lock. "You try not to get caught again. I'll find your daughter and get her out of here alright?" Berry said and before the colt could answer Berry was gone. Berry picked up the kitten she left not far from the cell. "Let's go Fuzzball, I think I got a clue about your owner."

OOC: Snap, stuff just got real. BIC: Bon Bon was the first to speak, "I don't think this group is going to work out." She said and Lyra glared at her. "You're not allowed to quite... You're the responsible one!" She exclaimed and Secretary even chimed in. "What would bring such a thought to you. You were the most adamant of the three of us about sticking together as a team." She said, genuinely confused. "Nothing really, though Lyra's repeated outbursts and inability to get anything down without a world of collateral damage doesn't help." Lyra turned to look out the window. The pillar of smoke from the earlier explosion was still towering high. At this her anger subsided a little bit and she was downcast... "It's not intentional..." She said but Bon Bon wasn't really listening. Secretary got up and right in Bon Bon's face, "It's this case isn't it. Is it too much for a first trial? We can always pass it on to the higher authorities." "No, it's not the case... I just cant help but question why we're doing this. I feel you're only here to watch and Lyra's just in it to punch bad guys in the face." Bon Bon rebutted. "I said it wasn't intentional!" Lyra said in a small yell and Secretary shot a look at her to not yell in the hospital. Lyra backed off and looked back out the window. "And why are you doing this? Why did you want us to stick together and HELP ponies instead of going out separate ways?" Secretary asked and Bon Bon was silent. the whole room was silent for a while. "I guess..." Bon Bon broke the quiet, "I wanted to make right the wrongs of my past... but the past cannot be unwritten. Nor can it be atoned for." she said and her mood dropped as she did. Secretary looked to Lyra. "And why do you do this job?" She asked and the light blue mare was called to attention. "...Because I have a unique set of skills. This feels like the only job I could really succeed at." She said, and inside that's the real reason. Secretary looked back and forth and walked to the door. "Don't quite... Instead, I want you both to rethink your priorities... your reasons for doing what you do." Secretary said and left through the door. It was quiet in the room and neither pony looked at the other while they sat alone in the partial darkness of the room. Bon Bon got up and made her way to the door now. "What, you still thinking of quitting?" Lyra said and Bon Bon stopped for a moment. She then continued walking out the door. "Only if it's possible to not lose myself." she said and left out. Secretary just watched as Bon Bon made her way out the building. When she went into the room, the window was open and Lyra was gone. Secretary was also too late to catch up to Bon Bon and was forced to try and find them in the city. Bon Bon headed back to the jewelry store while Lyra watched her from the rooftops. OOC: That ok?

ooc: Yep, that's okay. I've pretty much set up everything for Lyra and Bon Bon now. Bon Bon will have to talk to Craft again for whatever reason since she and the rest has gone underground now. So they're basically untraceable. And without any action from the detectives Berry won't be able to help the girl.
There was still one of Craft's puppets hanging around the jewelry store, watching it from across the street.

Bon Bon nonchalantly walked up beside the marionette pony, getting a little better at picking the more out there ones out in the crowd, and looked to the store, "Miss Craft. Are you there?" she whispered, hoping her long shot idea would help her find the rest of them.

The pony looked at Bon Bon and it was a while before intelligence sparked in its eyes. "Bon Bon, how nice to hear from you, although I admit I didn't expect to hear from you so soon. Your friend left quite the mark on one of my friends and I was just finishing helping him out. But please do not worry, even though it upsets me greatly I am not one to hold a grudge or seek revenge, I would rather have them safe here. But you yourself seem to be distressed, is your friend alright?"

"She's fine. if not a fool. I've just come to inquire to you... work." Bon Bon had on a perfect poker face, though her voice did give away a hint of insecurity, "I'm not saying I need a whole new body... I just want to see what the possibilities are." She said, looking away to hide her face.
Lyra was up on a tall building, scouting out Bon Bon from where she was. The shadow of the next building hid her from sight and even then she was a good distance away. using her better then normal sight to keep an eye on her.

There was glint of sadness in the pony's eyes. "Well, I won't say no to you, it is your choice." Craft said. "I will allow you to meet with me and see what I do. It is also best if you see what will be building your new body as my appearance may not be pleasant to you. But, as I said, the decision will be yours. You'll understand if I ask you to come alone. Do not worry though, you may return here if you wish, whenever you wish. I am not asking you to be abducted, so to speak." The chest of the pony opened and a spider climbed out. "Follow him and he will lead you to me. I will not be able to speak to you on your way here however. So if there is anything you need to ask before we meet it's best to do it now."

"I'll just have you know I'm still having a hard time trusting you. I'm coming to see you in spit of the family that's still missing. Sometimes sacrifices must be made for the long term though... Lead the way." She said and Followed the spider. Lyra on high couldn't see the smaller spider from this distance but her attention was still on the pony Bon Bon was talking to. It looked like Bon Bon was on the move but she didn't know where to.

"Sacrifices. Yes. Sometimes we must make sacrifices." Craft said as the spider led Bon Bon away. The spider led her into the sewers and despite the many twist and turns they took it wasn't difficult to keep track of the way if you paid attention. However the spider suddenly stopped in front of a wall that looked no different than any other. It crawled up the wall and inserted two of its legs into small holes that was difficult to see if you didn't go up close. Suddenly started flipping over, faster and faster, scenes of room and fields seem to glimpse by and then the wall folded together like a concertina and revealed a sewer beyond this one that looked exactly the same.

Bon Bon couldn't help but be amazed at the entryway. Even one like herself would never fully comprehend how such a doorway worked. She then looked to the spider and waited for it o lead the rest of the way, though the door still had her enthralled.

The spider walked through the door and led the way further into the sewer. The mirrored door folded back into place, hiding the entrance once more. Further into the sewer more and more spiders appeared. They were busy with all kinds of tasks repairing and maintaining the sewer. The spider finally came to a stop right next to a large double door.

At the double door, Bon Bon looked to the door, to the spider, and then back to the door. She took a deep breath and pushed on the door to enter.
Lyra was tracking Bon Bon, slowly but surely. She actually walked past where they entered into the fake wall and ended up doubling back a couple of times. She couldn't figure out why she was losing the trail in the middle of the sewer with no Manhole overhead. She punched the wall across from the fake wall out of frustration, leaving cracks in the stone.

ooc: Will you handle Lyra or is there something you want me to do?
"Bon Bon." Came Miss Craft's voice from the shadows. "Please come in." Guv was standing inside the room. On his back was a wooden shell with two arms folded into space that was provided for them. "I do not know if you have met, but this is Guv." Craft said. "I have asked Natasha to wait with Wiz as she can be a bit sensitive around new faces. They are three of my friends. What you see on Guv's back is a small part of what I can do. You're friend left him with a back that was burned and half gone, but I replaced it with this. It is a weapon, yes, but it is also more than that. Guv have always been quite strong, but he has trouble doing delicate things with his hands." As she said this it seemed like Guv tried to shrink away. "Because of that he was made fun of for being clumsy and breaking things. But I have given him two extra hands that is small enough to handle such delicate things and that he can use freely as he desires. Of course I know this is not what you have in mind, but I thought I'd show you as much of what I can do as possible."

OOC: Was just trying to see how long I should be stalling her.
BIC: "That's pretty impressive. You're like a mechanical surgeon." Bon Bon said, looking to the Minotaur and then to the darkness where the voice was coming from, "Maybe it's just because I've been shady in the past, but I'm rather distrustful of those who hide themselves." She said, looking hard into the darkness.
Lyra calmed down for a moment and started the hunt again. She was already tired of spelunking the sewers and wanted to catch up with Bon Bon. It only took a few minutes, however, for Lyra to loose her cool once again and throw a rock that bounced off a couple rocks and got lodged in the mirror, putting a spidered hole from the center outward. Lyra looked at the hole confused and pushed on it to check the wall. It was indeed a mirror. She Pulled the rock out the wall and looked at it and then the wall, err... mirror. She took a few steps back, and like a true baseball player, chucked the rock at the mirror with almost all her strength.

The mirrors broke and fell to pieces, there were a lot of pieces stacking high up against the walls and scattered over the floor. There was a path behind the mirror, but unbeknownst to Lyra the real path was behind one of the stacks of glass against the wall.
"Thank you, for the compliment." Miss Craft told Bon Bon. "And I do not blame you, most ponies would be distrustful of those that hide themselves. You may go to your friends Guv." "Thank you Miss Craft." The minotaur said and quickly left the room through a side door. "They call me Miss Craft." Miss craft said. There was a sound of wood scraping against wood. "They use the 'miss' as an endearing term for me, even motherly if a dare say it. Rather than the cruel pun it was meant to be." She sighed. "I do not believe Guv wants a new body, but he's doing it for his friends. He doesn't want them to do it alone, so he wants to get a new body so he can stay with them. Do you know that the three of them met each other before they met me? It was the first time I was able to be close to such wonderful friendship." There were more sounds of wood that came from the darkness and then Miss Craft stepped out into the light for Bon Bon to see. She was as tall as Princess Celestia. Her legs were thin things, made out of wood, joined with bolts at the knees as puppets usually are, and which she was. She had two unicorn horns on her forehead, one white, the other black. She had two wooden wings also white and black. On her flank on the white side was Celestia's cutie mark and on the black side was Nightmare Moon's. Her mane was short and her tail was long and both were made out of strings and had about three times more colors than Rainbow Dash had in her mane and tail. There was a star below her horns, strawberry on her cheek and a flower on the other. One eye was pink and looked like crystal, the other was sky blue and looked like a normal pony's eye. Her hind legs were green and yellow and her front legs were both a dark shade of brown-red. All in all it looked like a child pasted everything she liked onto a doll, thinking it would cool rather than class horribly. "So what do you think of me, Bon Bon?" She asked. There was a mouth build into the wooden head that moved when she spoke, but it didn't sync with her smooth strong voice and gave an eerily impression. Like a ventriloquist that got his timing wrong.

"HA! Your false wall is stupid!" Lyra said running into the opened path.
Bon Bon could only star at the menagerie before her in a combination of awe and confusion. Her star wasn't one of disgust or even excitement or wonder. It was more akin to one with perfect resolve analyzing every detail of a scene. She could hardly take in all she saw before her. The only thing she could say to link every piece and part together was they they were all inherently pony, "Where you always like this?" She said with a calm demeanor that showed how little shock she was feeling. Sure it surprised her, but she was the calm collect type and didn't break character for this instant as much as the door before.

"My body, yes, but the decorations I put there myself." Miss Craft said. There was a smile in her voice to Bon Bon's response since she couldn't show it on her face. "Most ponies would think it gaudy, but it's mostly just to cover my body so I'm not reminded of it. I've always thought of Princess Celestia as the kindest pony there ever was. And are you familiar with the legend of Nightmare Moon? It was much different back when I first learned of it than it is today. If I were going to be a scary monster I would have wanted to be like her. Of course if you want me to make you a new body it will not look like this." Craft turned her head back from where she came. "Zenny, Super Pony, please show yourselves to Bon Bon." Out of the darkness stepped two more puppets. But these didn't look anything like Miss Craft. They looked almost exactly like what they represented. One a griffon, the wings strong and nimble, claws and beak sharp and the carving of detail that represented the muscle and fur almost real. The other a pony. As large as Big Mac. there was a symbol carved on his chest and he wore a red cape. Their joints bended smoothly, but unlike Craft's it didn't show the bolts that kept it together. They were like living artwork. "This is what I will make you." Craft said. "They both asked that their past be forgotten so I'll not talk about that. But Super Pony asked for a stronger, bigger body. Also for a new name. He also didn't want me to take away his love for comic books. He still reads them and enjoys them, but without the emotions I don't know if it's the same as before. Zenny wanted to give up everything. She asked that the only thing she wanted was to protect me." There was again a sadness. "I miss her voice."

"I see." Bon Bon said and looked intently at the two. She'd not seen a griffon in ages but knew how close she'd gotten to the original. As for Super Pony, well... we was a hunk. A nerdy hunk but a fine chiseled, well-made hunk all the same. "All of your work seems... gaudy, since that's the only word I can think of at the moment. Do you know low profile? I don't want to forget my past as much as have my past forget me, or at least not recognize me." She said and looked back to craft, "So you have a real body hidden in the architecture? or are you craft through and through?" She asked, not even catching her own pun.

Post by Bio Plus on Nov 25, 2014 15:53:58 GMT -5
Craft laughed at Bon Bon's unintentional pun. "I can make you look however you want. Having no resemblance of your past. Do you think Super Pony's original body looked like this?" She walked up to Super Pony and opened a chamber in his side. She took out a small book and walked over to Bon Bon. It was a comic book and the page she opened at showed a superhero with a stunning resemblance to Super Pony. "As for myself. I become aware in a small room, filled with puppets like myself. The first living thing I saw, as I told you was spiders. It took me many years to learn how to move myself and finally leave that place. I have never had real fur or skin, I have never felt a real touch from somebody that cared for me. I have never shed a tear or bled blood. Not even my wood grow old and gray. I've never tasted or smelled a sweet scent. So to answer your question, I have never had a real, living, body."

"I see... Then where did you get life? Who ave it to you?" Bon Bon asked, actually engaged in this conversation now, "I find it hard to believe you simply came to life for no reason, it goes against logic." Bon Bon said, still in her calm, collect tone.

"It does, doesn't it!" Craft said, exited that Bon Bon understood. "But I don't know. I have been around for hundreds of years and nopony has ever came to me and told me that they made me, that I live because of them. How did I came to be? Am I magical? Am I really a monster? Am I an accident? A miracle? Was I once a pony that got turned into this, that got her memory removed like them?" She waved to Super Pony and Zenny. "Or was I just a cruel joke, like my name? I woke up and after a long time I learned to move, I can't tell you how long since I didn't know what numbers or time was back then. And when I came into this world the first thing I learned was that ponies were afraid of me. that is how my 'life' started."

"Well... Where do we start?" Bon Bon asked, but sure of anything else she'd inquire to.
Lyra had gotten herself turned around and ran back to where she'd started to try and find then again. The want anything special about that particular length of sewer and more importantly, no sign of Bon Bon.

Through the debris of mirror came voices. Two muffled voices that sounded like they were yelling in a whisper.
"If you have decided that you want to go through with it then we can discuss the specifications of your new body and what you'd want to keep and don't want." Craft said. "Or if you want to forget your past, but still want all your free will, I can do that and you'd be the first to want that." She said hopefully. "Of course the limitations of having to keep close to me because of our link will still exist. The body will also take time to make. I always put all my effort in creating the best I can. What you do in that time is up to you, but you're welcome to stay here while you wait." A thought came to Craft. "Do you want to meet Natasha? I think her circumstances is very close to yours. Of course I don't know your past and you don't need to tell me for me to take it away. But Natasha also has a past that she wants to forget completely."

Lyra was just about to head back through the path she came through when her ear caught the sound of two voices. She inspected the glass carefully and listened closely. After a while, she stood back and pulled out her crossbow. Pointing it at the glass, she fired a shot at the pile, sending glass everywhere. She was able to dodge the larger pieces and buff off the smaller ones with ease. Behind the pile of glass was another entrance that Lyra made no little haste to run through.
"The body will be enough. I'd like to keep my free will and memories, please." Bon Bon said and looked around, "Forgive me for inquiring, but what is the cost? Other then needing to stick close to you that is."

The professor and his wife wasn't so lucky to be able to avoid the glass and blood dripped from cuts where pieces of the mirror still stuck to them. But it didn't seem to bother them as they ran up to Lyra. "Please help us! Please help us find our daughter!"
"Cost?" Craft asked. not sure what she meant. "Well, you will obviously loose the ability to feel. I can't grant that. Being able to touch and feel something, I suppose it will take getting used to. Obviously that is not a problem if you don't have free will, but I'm glad you said you wanted to keep yours. I enjoyed speaking with you and would love to speak with you more even afterwords, maybe of more normal things. You can keep your special abilities if you want. I could give you more if you desire. Naturally the outside world wont be very accepting of you with your new body. But I'm sure you've already thought about these costs because of your choice."

Lyra only took a step back, "Woah there, what are you talking about? And who the heck are you?" Lyra asked, majorly confused and not wanting to get any more blood in her fur, since that kind of smell sticks out in Manehattan.
"Of course, My abilities already hold the power to ostracize me, that and my varying backgrounds." Bon Bon said and sat quietly, "Perhaps we'll put my request on the back burner. I don't mind staying with you until a new body is needed rather then merely wanted. That way we can really get to know each other and you'll still have all your time to work on your other friends bodies. And I'd really like to meet this Natasha, though I understand she can't speak? How will we communicate?"

ooc: Did we give the professor a name? Can't remember.
"I'm Professor Glyph." The colt said. "Some kind of monster kidnapped me and my family. She said she'd let us go if I translate some artifact for her, but when she found out that a child sacrifice was needed she refused to give us back our daughter." The pony said as fast as he could.
"Oh, Natasha is wonderful." Craft told Bon Bon. "With Guv and Wiz help she learned how to speak with movements of her tail and grunts. It took me quite a while to learn her special language, but it was very interesting. I can translate for you. I'll call her." Craft said, but didn't make any indication that she were going to do so. "I'd rather not you meet Wiz yet. He can be a bit moody at times and tends to hold a grudge. Natasha was born with quite the amazing power, completely natural, not even something I can emulate. But the dragons around her feared her and dragons can be scary even to a young dragon. They cornered her and she used her power. Many dragons died and she burned her voice away. So you can see that she also has a past that isn't easily fixed that she wants to escape from."
Berry walked into a room filled with glass chambers. Most of them were filled with gems, but one held a young filly that was sleeping as if nothing was wrong. The kitten gave an excited meow. "So we've finally found her Fuzzball? Hmm? Seems like this could be another puzzle, we have to be careful getting her out."

"So you're that family? Step aside, I got this." Lyra said simply as she pushed the professor aside with one hoof and continued down from where she believed the professor and his wife had come, "Oh, and sorry about your house. It's not there anymore." She added without so much as turning around.
"That sounds cool. A secret language. If you ask me, she's already fixed her past. She's got friends who understand and accept her just the way she is. It would be up to her to stay the way she is though and not become someone different. That's her decision to make I guess." Bon Bon said, actually curious what the little dragon had in store.

"You have to be careful." The professor called out. "There are things all over the place." He told her, the comment of his house not even registering to him because of the worry for his daughter.
"If only I could make her look at it like that." Craft told Bon Bon. "But she fears that she would be unable to control her powers and that it's always there, just a breath away. But yes, it is her decision. She's here." Craft said turning to the door to the side which opened and Natasha stepped in. "Natasha." Craft called her lovingly. "Please come over here and meet Bon Bon. You always wanted another girl to be around, didn't you?" Natasha looked a bit fidgety about being the center of attention, but quickly made her way next to Craft and sat down looking at the ground. "Why don't you say hello?" Craft asked and Natasha made a sweep with her tail. "That's how she greets ponies." Craft told Bon Bon.

Bon Bon did an almost exact motion with her own tail. She wasn't a languist, but if there was a pattern to the language they came up with she might just learn it. It seemed they'd be seeing each other for a while anyway. Bon Bon also greeted with a more traditional hello as well, so it wouldn't sound like she was ignoring her.
Lyra stopped in her tracks, if but for a moment, "What things>?" She asked, almost dreading what this little sewer could have in store considering how they've ponynapped and had the fancy glass door.
