Ossia stopped in her track when the Blueblood mentioned his cousin. "She's a wonderful mare isn't she? She's magnificent! Beautiful, strong, clever...." the pink alicorn said in strange voice while staring into space. It seems that the mention of her doppelganger turned Nerezza brain off for a moment. She didn't move from the spot until Blue turned her head around. "..... Ahimè ... she still have some gaps that prevent her from being...perfect." the Nerezza mused while flipping her mane. Ossia was taken aback by Blue's terrified tone. Why would....Oh...Oh no! That won't do! She should build up Blue's confidence, not shatter it! "Did I find...?! Oh no ,no ,no ,no....." she quickly said before hovering towards Platinum and taking her face in-between her front hooves. "This is a question that I should be asking. After are You are in charge. Non è ovvio? After all it's the least I could do for being so kind to me earlier...." she whispered before allowing half of her visage be overlaid with that of gray pegasus for a split second....pegasus the was becoming very familiar with Prince Blueblood since this morning. "My. Fair. Prince." she said with feeling. "Well then, shall we?"

While His....or rather Her Royal Highness has slipped away from the Ossia's sight, the unicorn royal left a distinct fragrance behind herself. "Smell of the sea. How....nostalgic." alicorn mare thought while trailing Blueblood. While following this scent, the disguised alicorn couldn't help but notice.....Was that...house-staff? As in, maids? And in great numbers too. Ossia couldn't help but ponder...was Blue's boastful announcement earlier was a reverse-bluff? This day indeed was cornucopia of surprises. Regardless, the invisibility was in order - the more pair of eyes meant she could be easly discovered otherwise. She contain barely contain a giggle when she saw museum guards beaten senseless by the house-help. Oh so there was a plan after all! Ossia could only wonder what Blueblood had in store for the museum. Hmmmm...calling him that in this form just didn't sounded right, even if it was just in her mind. After all what was standing before her was a very definition of femininity....second only to Ossia's own of course. Blue, Blue...Hmmm...Bluebelle had a nice ring to it. And made things less confusing. Regardless it was time to reveal herself! "Oh you go for a shopping and you don't invite the Me along?" she said in hurt tone while allowing the magical camouflage to slip and trotting towards Bluebelle. "This is very, very rude of you. But I don't mind. After all you seem so stressed Miss Platinum♥" she added. While she didn't even hint at Platinum's Gem true identity, the bemused look she gave and the cocky grin were telling enough. "Why don't you make up for it with girls day-and-night-out hmmm?" she asked while planting a smooch on unicorns cheek. "Ufufu I trust you have no complains?" Ossia asked while walking towards the large steel door. Undoubtedly a museum vault of some sort... "Then let's start by seeing what's behind curtain number one ♥!" the winged mare announced before rearing up. Second later Blue could see her hooves piercing through the metal and tearing troublesome gate from it's foundations, throwing it aside like a piece of cardboard. "After you pretty thing." she said with inviting wave of the hoof.

Squall didn't even managed to prepare after saying his piece before Applejack grabbed him by the collar of his duster and pulled into very, very aggressive smooch. No what he was expecting.... "....So...." he started after the deed, wiping his mouth the same as she did. "Should I feel for your wife or is it today's frustrations getting into you Miss Applejack?" he asked, lampshading mares lack of delicacy. Noblepony nodded when the farm-mare admitted her curiosity. "Indeed. You don't build a billions worth fortune without understanding what ponies want. Although I admit, you are much harder nut to crack when it comes to that then the most." he admitted honestly while giving earth pony a kind of roundabout compliment. "Sounds promising..." he mused when Applejack extended the offer of talk over the meal. "County cuisine is not the one I am accustomed to. Should be nice, new experience." Squall pondered before giving Applejack confident smile. "Surprise me Miss Applejack. Because I guarantee you, I do much to do the same as well." he added before turning around, picking the bushel with his magic and giving a salute with his hoof. "Till later then Miss Applejack. Be sure I will be prompt in my appearance." Swift announced before making his way to do things that Swift Squall did. He disappeared behind the corner, but earth mare could still hear the sound of bitten apple and the comment coming from the full mout. "Hoooh....They arth ghooofd!"

Soooo is Gate Kicker still a thing? Because so far it was really fun.

I regret missing out most of it's due to fue/work hours combo, but the bit I participated in was still fun nonetheless. Thanks guys!

And here she was. The wirebrain pest that she was hunting was now right below her. But the otherworld pegasus was not alone. It seems that the other mare - one who was calling the cyborg to meet her at the park - wasn't making an empty threat. How inconvenient... "Oh how rosy...." Ossia muttered to herself, her words dripping with sarcasm while she gazed at situation below. "I was expecting just a junkbox, but I just had to bump into half-corpse as well." But perhaps it could work for her advantage. Why throw herself into a fight, when she can instead wait for those two to duke it out, before squashing the exhausted winner? Unless something goes horribly wrong of course. Ossia knew better then to rule out such possibility. "<Sigh> Spectator mode then it is." she murmured while descending down, still clad in illusions and invisibility spells. "Fino all'ultima condizione strana...." But of course she couldn't have even a five minutes for herself before another detached voice could be heard. A male voice. Well at least he heard about volume control, unlike the gan ceann over there. What's worse, he seamed to have gained insight over her true nature if not appearance. Otherwise he would be much more confused in his tone. While she couldn't exactly pinpoint from where it was coming from, perhaps she could do something about it... "Oh how perceptive of you! What a twist, really, my mind is blown!" Ossia answered Masquerade voice in a tone that instantly dispelled any notion about her being a 'superhero'.....all the while she was discretely spilling her love magic over the area. "Do you want a medal for any of those observations? Or for getting a peek? Talk about low ambitions..." she continued with the mocking. "Or maybe your were hoping for something else, pervertito. A kiss maybe?" her voice turned both more seductive and venomous. "Didn't your mother taught you...TO NOT PEEP ON GIRLS?!" she shouted while suddenly turning the intensity of the spell up, bombarding the Mythos with cravings and desires for the illusion-clad alicorn. Hopefully the illusions that dampened the sound, as well as the magic being tuned for males will help with all of this getting unnoticed. That and the fact that the other two mares were right now aiming to bash the other one's skull in.

".......I suppose this can be irritating. Ohhhh, look at that titled oaf! Thinking he's so enigmatic and all!" he said in self-mocking voice before giving a heavy sigh and taking off his shades. "If we have a thing in common it is being hopelessly stubborn Miss Applejack. And I too know the burden of overstretched schedule. I wouldn't bother you if it was something I could deal with by doing it myself or by throwing money at it." he mused before adding.... "Not that I am disrespecting the work or assistance of others...But there is always certain satisfaction and source of pride when doing things yourself. A sentiment - I believe - you agree with." Swift pointed out with a wave of the hoof. "At the same time however..." noblepony started again. ".... I can't really spill all the details, right in the middle of the public street. The project I am involved with is supposed to maintain a certain level of secrecy until a right moment. You would be surprised at the length some ponies go to upstage others...or out of pure spite. I hope you understand." Squall said. "Still....giving you a bit's of information isn't exactly 'All' is it?" businesspony added, lampshading a loop in his words. "First of all it's a completely philanthropic endeavor on my part. No profits involved.....at least in coin. The pro's that will come with this project are much more important then that. Second I am doing this for Fillydelphia, so yes, some travel will be required, perhaps multiple times as well. And third...." Squall smiled out of sudden. "I see no reason why you shouldn't bring your child with you Miss Applejack. You can even bring all your whole intermediate family if you wish. I am more then capable at accommodating a great amount of Apples." unicorn assured the farm-mare before picking one of the fruits from the bushel and throwing it high into the air before catching it. "But if you want further details then I afraid it will have to wait until the evening, as I mentioned earlier. After that you can give me your decision. I don't expect you to make it without all information" Squall said in reasonable and understanding voice. "Oh really? A fireproof package deal? Then I guess I have to tell Discord to bring that Smooze associate of his, for him to buy bushel or two." Swift said with mischievous spark in his eyes. "Heh,I am joking Miss Applejack. Do as you will." he said while preparing for the unavoidable

"Somehow, I am not surprised." Ossia mused after hearing from Blublood's own mouth about how much of a joke of family mare Celestia was. Which was not different at all from her other selves across different dimensions, but it was nice to receive direct confirmation. It appears that her being an utter failure of a sister and aunt was universal constant. Well perhaps half a failure in the later case. "But she does have enough time for you cousin, does she? An obvious and blatant case of favoritism. I am mean does she deserve to be called your aunt at this point?" she said, adding yet another brick towards Prince's resentment at the white alicorn. "Almost all things have a place in this world Your Highness. It's nice seeing that you add more elegance and class to it." Ossia complimented Blueblood after he mentioned his seafaring escapades. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Ossia didn't even had a time to ridicule the brute of the dragon, she found herself being 'saved' by Prince's quick reaction. All her durability did nothing to the fact that this took her by surprise. Too bad that one of the balcony's that were hanging in the alley was damaged in the attack. CRASH! Obviously it failed to do any damage to her, but the rubble pinned her in such a way it might take her a minute or two to get herself out. All the strength in the world matters little if you can't contract most of your muscles. "Well....despite the result's, I guess I have to give him a points for romantic gesture." she mused. Wait, speaking of 'Him'....where's Blueblood? The answer to that question wasn't really clear due to all this dust blocking alicorn's vision. Luckily her 'magic muscle' was not compromised. A short incantation was enough to see through the aura vision. And she saw Blueblood alright...! Just as he put two relicts around his neck. ........What. T-That's, the core of his being remained the same, but out of sudden Prince shifted from being male to...well...female! For all of her travels across countless worlds it was the first time she witnessed such change to happen...happen so...so quick! "This world...this world is even more amazing then I thought." alicorn whispered to herself. And this Blueblood...he had so much more spunk then any other version of him that he saw. Well not literally, seeing the form Blueblood now took, but it was spirit that counted. To so loudly announce a robbery attempt? Bold. Utterly stupid, but bold. "Have to follow...." Ossia growled as she pushed the rubble out of herself using her magic. Now, where his...or right now Her Highness has gone?

Ossia was on her way to the Manehattan Park when an unexpected event drew her attention. Normally a parked ambulance in the city as big as this wouldn't be enough for her to stop. This time however she could sense a of aeather. A foreign aeather. "Not even a hour in and it's marking the place like a stray dog." alicorn mare said sarcastically before going down to take a closer look. There were a few paramedics on the scene, as well as police officers. But it was the one pony in the force's uniform, a stallion shuddering while laying on the stretcher that drew her attention. It seemed like he really wanted to curl into fetal position, but the belts that were strapping him were preventing him from that - something horrible obviously happened to him. It was this unlucky pony from which she felt other-world influence. "Miss, we are undergoing an investigation right here." one of the police ponies approached the disguised alicorn "I have to ask you to move immi....gghuuu!" the stallion grunted as he was swept of his hooves and pinned to the ground with ntense magical force...along with every other officer medic and civilian in vicinity! "Were those sounds coming from your mouth a words? Even if they are I am too busy to make time for a peon like you." Ossia dismissed the officer before approaching the LDEL6370's victim. The way he tried to get away as she got closer was telling enough. "Uhh straightforward without any consideration like some brute. No subtlety at all." he mused in disgust. Luckily for stallion, Ossia had more...genial means of extracting information. "There...there nice and easy." she said as her magic took a root in stallions mind. Most of this memories were distorted due to sheer horror he was subjected to, but few details were retained. Greenish-blue. Mare.. Cyborg. Descriptive enough...Oh? What's this a pure remnant of the alien magic! Which just a little taste Ossia will know... .... ....... ............. "For #@^&% sake!!!" alicorn yelled in frustration while punching the sidewalk hard enough to mess already broken concrete even more, make the nearby fire hydrant's pop of it's outlet and shattering all windows in eyesight. "Of all possible, freaking dimensions those parasites just had to....!" Ossia ranted before stopping herself. It wasn't like her to loose her cool like that! Since her arrival she chose to lay low, searching for suitable layline nexus. Thus her opportunities to unwind were somewhat limited which put her...on edge. "Alright, nothing to be worried about just yet. Just finding the scout before she establishes a gateway and smashing her like a cockroach will make things juuuuust fine." she reassured herself while giving an audacious grin. "Also, I need to put obliterating this dimension from which she comes from, higher on my to do list." she added to herself in her head, making a mental note. Ossia spread her wings, ready to take of but....something - maybe and instinct, maybe a simple whim - made her to stay just for a moment longer....and dig deeper into unfortunate cop's mind. He was a father and husband. A very loving father and husband. Ossia's frowning expression softened at that revelation. With a gentle nudge into his thoughts, she made his mind focus on his family instead of terrible experience he gone through today. He should recover much faster, to keep adding more love to the world. "That should do it. Sleep." disguised alicorn commanded, and officer fell into a slumber- but now with a much more serene expression on his face. "....Now to find and crush a PEST." Ossia growled while taking off at supersonic speed, and dropping all the ponies she held off back to the ground.

Uhhh I sitting out Stage Three. A really bad cold decided to turn up and as a result head is blank right now. I focus on my half finished post's in my other RP's while waiting for Stage Four

Sooo....if someone failed to post in time (curse you, work hours!) can we still make obligatory participation post regardless?

Well this was really vexing. First the stench, now the obnoxious loudness. Regardless, Ossia decided to tackle one issue at a time. This mare that decided to hurt her ears will have to wait for her own punishment. The alicorn landed in the place she felt disturbance a few minutes ago. Normally she wouldn't bother to check up such spike in aether, in this dimension it seemed to occur thrice a day. But this time it felt...different...alien...not belonging. Which made sense. It takes one to recognize one. "Can't open a door for a moment without some pests seeping in...." she mused in a tone that made her diastase with the situation clear. It appears that barrier between world still didn't recovered enough from her own arrival. This in itself was puzzling since Ossia knew....or rather assumed that this world had it's guardians - judging from her own prior attempts at breaching the barrier. Again, the question better left for another day. For now she had infestation to deal with. "Yes, it was here." she said before reaching out with her magic. For normal ponies....and most of not-normal one's everything seemed to be in order. But being dimensional traveler herself, Ossia knew how to search for the 'scars'. Soon enough she got her answer. "As I expected. And judging from how it's reeks it has to be one of those decaying, half-living possibilities. But which one?" alicorn pondered. That was so many of those that even this information was inconclusive. But if she had to guess, this intruder came here in search of something that no longer existed in it's devastated world. Well too bad for them for now this realm was Ossia's - at least as long as it take for her to find answers she sough. ".....Checking out the park would be the best lead for now. I found the trail..." she paused before making a wicked smirk "Let's see what else I will be able to find!" she mused before cladding herself in illusions and taking into the air once more.

Oh believe me, Ossia wouldn't be on Dust's side either. As a dimensional hopper she knows the world Lightning is from and....well, let's say that she's less then fond of it.

Are other villains allowed to join?

It's like they joined by the hip or something

Heh, I won't allow myself to pass this. I will be participating with Squall of course.
