"Nope. But if I did I wouldn't tell you." Cloud said with a childish smirk. He could probably get the door own with a shadow but didn't want to have to explain how he learned lock picking.

"Figures." Daring said looking for a window that wasn't closed properly. When she found one she pushed the bar through the gap to unlock the latch and open it up. "There we go." She said and climbed through the window. It was a bit of a squeeze, but she finally made it into the library.

It was just a tight a squeeze for Cloud to fit through the window Daring managed to open. Alas, fit he did and he followed Daring through the library.

"Here we are." Daring said jumping on a chair and lying back. "The mystery of the ghost in the library. Some nights students can hear a mysterious waling coming from here. Of course none of the students would admit hearing it, since it also means that they'll be confessing that they broke curfew."

"So if none ever admits to hearing the sounds, how did you hear about it?" Cloud asked, sitting on the floor across from Daring. He was on edge and fully alert but tired to play cool.

"Not admitting to it doesn't mean that ponies aren't talking about it." Daring said. "In fact, it means that ponies are talking about it and they're not admitting it. You see?"

"Oh, I see." Cloud said and looked around, "I don't hear anything now. What's the plan detective do?"

"Well, the noises should have..." As Daring spoke a sudden shrill filled the library, coming from every direction. "There it is." Daring said.

The hair on the back of his neck and the feathers at the edge of his wings were standing on end when the cry rang out. He was listening so intently and already on edge from breaking curfew that the sound made for quite jump scare. He was quick to smooth and compose himself, "What was that?"

Daring stifled a laugh. "Well, it could have been a ghost. Or something else. And that's what we're here to find out."

"well, I'd say that we should split up but in every horror book I've ever read splitting up usually results in everyone dieing, so let's not do that."

"I agree. Besides, the library makes it impossible to know precisely where the sound is coming from, but I have a pretty good idea where to look." The shrill sound came again and stopped.

"then lead the way, oh Daring one." Cloud said standing up. This time he only tensed up at these sound but tried to hide it.

Daring led the way down one of the bookcases. She'd occasionally stop to look around her before continuing, making slight changes in the way she was going. The waling sounded again.

"Um, it doesn't sound like we're getting closer. And it just danced on me, if others have heard the wailing because they were up past curfew there's a chance we might end up running into them and that wouldn't be good." Cloud said, sticking close behind Daring.

"The ponies hearing the sound hear it from outside the library. You can hear for yourself how loud it is inside. And they're not running around in a gang on campus at night. It's most likely one or two ponies that heard it over a long period of time." Daring stopped in front of a weird grating on one of the walls. "Here we are. This is an old ventilation system that was build into the first buildings of the school."

"And how do you know that? Was it in one of your history books or something?" Cloud asked partially sarcastic.

"No." Daring said. "It was in the book I took out this afternoon. Old architecture, mostly related to buildings around Manehattan. The school is pretty old you know. Crystals were used in the ventilation to amplify the moving of air. Outdated, but effective. It also has the effect of amplifying sound, so the grating is design to muffle the sound of air moving through the ventilation. If my theory is correct I'd say that over the years the ventilation must have broken somewhere, letting in the sound from a pony's room. The sound gets muffled and you hear a waling." Daring leaned down and forced the grating open. Dirt and dust fell from it. It was halfway open when Miss Tularu's singing came through the hole.

"OK, I can think of few reasons Mrs. Tularu would be singing to herself, some I don't want to experience first hoof." Cloud said, taking a step back from the grate.

There was a sudden scream from the hole. "Who's there!?" Miss Tularu yelled. "I know that voice! Don't think you'll get away with playing pranks on your principle!" Daring was holding on to her muzzle to stop bursting out in laughter.

Cloud figured she was talking about him and turned around, burying his head in a stack of books, "I can just die now." he whispered, melodramatically, and fell over.

Daring closed the grate and Miss Tularu's voice faded away into a muffled sound. "Obviously it works both ways when the grating is open." Daring laughed. "But don't worry, I'm sure Miss Tularu was bluffing when she said she knew your voice, maybe."

Cloud just mumbled incoherently from under the books. He took a deep breath and pulled his head out of the ground, "Alright, we've solved the mystery of the wailing sounds, we should get back in case the teachers check my room to see if I'm in there."

"You worry too much." Daring said. "But I guess I'm satisfied, so we may as well go back. Oh! And don't tell anypony about the secret. We don't want to ruin it for any other would be explorers, adventurers or investigators." Daring laughed as she head back to the window they came in through.

"You practically had the mystery solved before we got here. Perhaps the next adventure we go on will prove more difficult for you." Cloud said, quietly following behind Daring.

"Well, you know, I just had to do something to wind down." Daring said. "Even a easy little mystery like this. I'd love for a bit more challenge, but what can you do in the big city? Got to take what you can get." Daring flew up and climb out of the window.

"I might have a mystery for you to solve later. I've just got to find it again. Things like that get lost in the library all the time when my head is lost in the books." Cloud said and climbed to the window. He made very well sure the coast was clear before taking flight behind Daring.

"That would be great." Daring said as she flew back to the dorms.
ooc: Shall we skip a week? I don't really have much right now until some time has passed. And I don't want to just do Tor's chores and Ever's training every day. We can say that Cloud hasn't seen the girls in this time since they've been busy.

OOC: Works for me. You can start the next... Friday? Since that's a week from now, and I'll post Cloud accordingly. Did cloud get in trouble with Miss Tularu?

ooc: Nope. But she is still looking for the suspect. Tornado finished her chores in the gymnasium. Her dad was so evil having her clean up here when she wasn't allowed to join in. She sighed. "Nice job Tornado!" One of the colts called out to her. "The gym has never been this clean. Although you don't have to push yourself like that. We wont tell if you slack off once in a while." "Thanks." Tornado grinned. "But I really don't mind cleaning up." The colts left and so did Tornado. It was almost time for school to end and she had to go meet Ever and Mith.
