Radiant Hope will win!

@Zaknel  
(Well, next week, I’ve got spring break. Do any of you guys have that too?)

(Not I. Except for Friday, Saturday, and Sunday.)

(Kay. I’m up, I’ve completed everything I needed to do first, I’m ready to get going.)
 
Bodyguard Mare: Shakes hooves timidly. I’m Textile Stitch. Worked in sewing factory under the late Comrade Vladimir Leadin. Escape to exile with Comrade Trot-ski along with many others when Starlight seized power. Trot-ski understands exceptionalism needed for Communism to work: best at task should work at task, and Cutie Marks determine best at task. Better seamstress than fighter, but Comrade Trot-ski provide lots of weapons to protect him!
 
Textile reveals a sewing machine Cutie Mark, then removes her shawl, revealing a unicorn’s horn, a sniper scope, a gun saddle attached to six energy crystals on her back, and two mechanized punching devices on her front hooves.
 
Textile Stitch: Glimmerist assassins lurking around! I take out and unequalize fifteen already, da? Organizer supplanted by Glimmerist, and had to rescue real organizer and deal with phony before Comrade Trot-ski get killed. Accomplished mission. So, I lead to Comrade Trot-ski, da? Support Soviet Democracy?
 
Blinding Faith: yes, in fact. We’re more for Democracy than Communism, but we’d much rather a Democratic regime be our neighbor, even if Communist, than the dictatorship Glimmer has set up.
 
Textile: But, what of Eternal Revolution? Comrade Trot-ski want remove nations for global Soviet Democracy!
 
Nightfall: Well, if it’s a choice between that and Glimmerism, we’d choose yours in a heartbeat.
 
Textile: You friendly then! Come, I lead to Trot-ski! He speaking right now!
 
(OOC: Textile may be fooled that easily, but wording needs to be more careful to convince Trot-ski. he’s been living in exile for 10 years, and he’s extremely suspicious of all but those he knows for a fact he can trust, or those willing to risk imprisonment in Starlight’s gulags for him, as he hates gulags.)

(Awww, man. I feel like such a jerk.)

@Creepa-Bot Inc.  
(Don’t have spring break, because I have no school and no job. I just have “being stuck living with my parents due to a medical condition that the feds won’t acknowledge as an actual problem, so they won’t give me disability compensation so I can live by myself.”)

@Prism King
 
teleports back
 
Wow thank god, I thought it was an ambush.

(Sorry to ruin it for you guys. I really am.)

@Zaknel  
(Don’t apologize. I wasted a lot of time by staying up until 3 AM last night, so I take all blame.)
 
 
@Twi_Clown  
Textile Stitch: So sorry to startle you… Was trying to hear Comrade Trot-ski’s speech from here, then got caught up in his words and started muttering about how things should’ve been! But, we make it right! Follow to Trot-ski, da?

@Prism King
 
Alright alright, I got it.
 
Anyway, I must inform to sunbutt about what’s going on. Luckily enought she’s far more charismatic and cheerful than her grumpier sis but it’s not going to be easy either.
 
I would still keep an eye on him (puts a crystal eye on him), as long as we have a commie with us, well, things can get a little, well…. (drops a small petard in the floor)……………I trust you can make a fine job there.

(Guys, I’m in pain, and I don’t think I could do this today, anyways. Sorry.)

@Twi_Clown  
CB: Yea, of course. Hopefully.  
@Prism King  
CB: Alrighty! Again, so sorry about the scare! I hope we didn’t ruin our first impression.  
IBC glares at Textile.  
IBC: Don’t try anything foolish. Making my eyes glow isn’t the only trick I’ve got.  
I shoot him a warning glare, then looks back to Textile.  
CB: Okily-dokily, lead the way!  
(Psst, mind if I PM you something? It’s something on the IBC/Concord rivalry, and I wanted to know your opinion it. I mean, if it’s ok with you. I could just keep it a surprise.)

@Zaknel  
Oh, by all means, rest! I know how you feel…

@Creepa-Bot Inc.
 
………….
 
Change of plans, Nightfall, you nerdy somewhat-sis, I leave you in charge, please take care of those weirdos.

(You can control Hope and Zaknel, if you wish.)

@Twi_Clown  
IBC: What did you just call me?  
CB: Yea, I’m weird! And proud of it!

@Zaknel  
(I, uh, could give it a shot. Although I don’t exactly know how they’d act, I probably have a good idea on it.)

@Creepa-Bot Inc.
 
@Zaknel
 
@Twi_Clown  
(I know I just got back, but I’m having trouble. I’m having to juggle too many things at once right now, and It’s driving me batty. I can take care of some things now, and if we can continue in the evening, I can do that. (4:32 where I am right now)

@Prism King  
(Ok, so…….for you, 6:30, for me, 8:30?)

(So, Prism King, you ok now? Or are you still busy?

(My class is over but I doubt there’s anybody else here.)

@Twi_Clown  
(He said he come in the evening.)

@Creepa-Bot Inc.  
(Almost ready. Wrapping things up.)

@Prism King  
(Ah, gotcha. Just let us know when you’re done. No rush.)

@Creepa-Bot Inc.  
(Close enough to ready. Let’s go.)
 
Textile Stitch: Oh, nyet! never! I would never do anything to upset potential ally!
 
I beckon that odd foreigners to follow me
 
Textile Stitch: It this way! Set up in Central Square! You follow, da?
 
I begin running, using my sniper scope and both ears to stay alert. Each day had at least one more Glimmerist Assassin than the last! They could be anywhere! Except among those behind me! None of them had those plastic smiles!
 
Nightfall and the Dragon realm residents, plus the others from the pony world, begin to follow.

@Prism King  
Zaknel stays close to Radient Hope, slightly shaking from anxiety. As we follow Textile, I trot up next to him.  
CB: So, Textile. How have things been? Good? Bad? Worse than bad?
