The pain from wounds renewed as cold winds outside were making walls of the building creak, white moonlight from a small mud-covered window illuminating a patch of the floor. The files yellowed out and clock shattered from the impact... releasing an odd [2014-12-11 21:00:14] little sparrow-sized bird with glowing, yellow eyes... [2014-12-11 21:00:14] "Hk'va-hal,  Chkry-sil ock'sa Tah-li'suns-re." a quiet whispering echo reached their ears, filling out the room's confine's as the sound of howling wind outside made the moonlit window creak together with walls. "Is't hoo-mans do'r mee't a-heen." The bird didn't seemed to vocalise the whispering noise, but elicits a chirp by the end, "Do'r n'eot has'veh lees'sh-to tim'e-f, 'suns-re.

[2014-12-11 21:00:15] The bird hovers in air observing to and glances at Tali.... and then into space next to two "Lig-hta'sun gaz'ee int'o aye'vs of'a dekhf.....", the bird returned its gaze at Tali, staring into her eyes with glowing dots, "Iss'tef hum-or ock'a Tah-li'sun'tre ful in'sel grave' int'eh sno'll per sh'll... hoo-man's ar'h n'eot bel'on-t here'h."

[2014-12-11 21:11:34] [wait when/where did greenlight appear?] [2014-12-11 21:12:13] * GreenLight can't hear nor see any other ponies, is he all alone here with that small bird?  He misses Tweets... [2014-12-11 21:12:18] [probably got PM and is somewhere else, or at the same place, just unseen] [2014-12-11 21:12:19] The bird "Do'r had'-tel dr'agth y'u, 'suns-re, innot makhal-of'a twi-lig'ht's.

[2014-12-11 21:19:10] [any minute now, after that 1 hour afk] [2014-12-11 21:19:37] The bird doesn't nods or moves from it's spot..... in fact both of it's wings stop moving at all as the little body begins to float in space, it's body beginning to darken, the echo'ing voice slowly starting to quiet down, "Y'u ar'eh to'rn-ef shaad'-es-ull.... sp'irhits t'ha sn'appht fr'oom Phassin'.

C-crys!  Tali!!" [2014-12-11 21:36:24] The room around looked almost completely dark prior the explosion of dark mist, but now the old basement or cellar became even more bleak. All colors flaked away by the sweeping, windy explosion, dust like colors disappearing into thin air, the sweeping motion blurring all contours around ponies, even their own.... The only source of illumination before that was a dirty looking oil [2014-12-11 21:36:24] lamp that was hanging on the far wall next to the staircase, but even it's yellowish little flame lost the color, becoming cold and white in the sea of blurriness matching up together with white moonlight that continued to pouring through the stained, mud covered little ground-window, right on the spot where ponies were standing... [2014-12-11 21:37:42] ... Green's voice came out as nothing more, but a distant echo to two mares even though he was rather close to both... [2014-12-11 21:38:40] * GreenLight flickers his ears, trying to figure this out.  He's played enough Escape the Room puzzles, but... There weren't any quicksaves here.  He tries to fly up, to take a closer look at that window [2014-12-11 21:38:56] The bird or what was left of it completely vanished in the bleak twilight-shrouded realm...

[2014-12-11 21:42:49] With several flaps of his wings, the blurry pegasus is able to lift up into air, but each movement felt dragging and anchoring, like moving through something thick - not exactly like water, but somewhere near. Green hover over clock house's debris, passing dirty discolored files.... as well as another bundle with his own passport 'n papers, bringing himself closer to a little basement [2014-12-11 21:42:49] window next to top corner of the dusty room.

In the closest vicinity next to the window, he could spot a blurry field of whiteness... probably snow, while distant echoing howling and creaking was reaching his ears with a delay.

[2014-12-12 01:42:24] [also just kinda remembered that Tali still doesn't know why Crystal and Greenlight are here with her, possibly thinking that she failed in bringing all the wolves away] [2014-12-12 01:42:50] "Frozen mare?"

[2014-12-12 01:45:57] "Or I've got locations mixed up... or... damnit!" [2014-12-12 01:46:08] Green nearly mouthed an 'Whoops' and quietly looked at Crystal.

Uh... I really don't know. Everything is dark around. Should we go deeper into forest?", he asked while his eyes looked between snow piles around. [2014-12-12 01:49:58] * Tali looks at the two scrutinizing and then out at the clearing again. Tali tries to get a rough bearing on where exactly she was before she passed out in comparison to the rest of the field.  Using the lamp to make things a little clearer as needed.

[2014-12-12 01:52:44] The green stallion wanted to say something, but suddenly his eyes widened up as he started to cough, wincing and falling closer to the ground... [2014-12-12 01:53:26] [do I even see this?] [2014-12-12 01:53:38] Yes, you do. [2014-12-12 01:54:09] Everyone, roll will.

As two others approached the stallion, a sensation of a spike piercing through their insides rocketed their stomachs, making pony lungs contract from the burning sensation. [2014-12-12 01:57:46] [OK, sorry, actually was 24] [2014-12-12 01:57:46] [I don't know where you char sheet is] [2014-12-12 01:58:42] * CrystalShine coughs "W-What is it now?"

[2014-12-12 02:02:24] * Tali goes searching her body again... or really anything that looked like it was remotely near were she was when she passed out... or even just something that might hide a body [2014-12-12 02:02:56] * CrystalShine blins with pain and looks around desparately trying to find anything, trots in circles from place she was. [2014-12-12 02:03:06] The image of surroundings shuddered, together with lamp's and bandage contours that were surroundings mares... Powerful coughing paralyzed the trio, making them hack out the dark looking ooze, uncontrollably on the snow, the image around them distorting more and more, before surroundings blacked out for a moment... [2014-12-12 02:03:06] When the coughing fit subsided... and everyone was able to open their eyes... [2014-12-12 02:04:14] * Tali quickly checks her little file again [2014-12-12 02:04:16] ... the trio found themselves standing in the middle of the forest, in darkness... The lamp and bandages that previously covered mares were nowhere in sight, substituted instead by their respective, but torn and thoroughly wet clothes and gear... [2014-12-12 02:05:41] * CrystalShine painfully slowly opens her eyes and looks around, even breathing too painful, not even thinking about talking now. [2014-12-12 02:05:45] The building's foundation, bluriness and everything was gone with ponies standing in the same looking clearing, surrounded by snow... with bits of wooden husks sticking out of snow piles... [2014-12-12 02:06:13] * Tali checks herself to see the extent of her injuries and whether the bandages she packed were still in working order [2014-12-12 02:07:29] Places of their bodies that previously were bandaged and had wounds looked like they were sewn together..... what used to be torn wounds having dark, pitch black markings over each area... [2014-12-12 02:08:27] * Tali inspects the markings closer [2014-12-12 02:08:57] * CrystalShine checks her body too [2014-12-12 02:09:52] All torn and injured regions of before had pitch black scars... and the ooze that they hacked out of themselves coated the snow underneath trio. [2014-12-12 02:11:05] * Tali eases herself up and tests to see if normal movment causes any complications with the new scar tissue. [2014-12-12 02:11:11] * CrystalShine turns to each other and hisses in pain "Is… Is it real now?" [2014-12-12 02:12:56] The veiny black tissue felt numb and stingy.... but it could've been just a feeling of frostbite returning back to bit wet equines into their flanks. [2014-12-12 02:14:20] "I... I don't know... these scars... something fixed us up... but... sssss ooh, we... need to try and get back to mistveil."

However entire clearing was thoroughly surrounded by snow. Curiously, the mare could see a deep, pony sized hole in the snow with three sets of pony tracks making a mess around it and leading to her, Crys and Green [2014-12-12 02:21:17] *** Liven changed nick to Liven[Sleeeeeeeeeep] [2014-12-12 02:22:28] * Tali looks around and tries to determine the exact direction that she came from [2014-12-12 02:22:30] Seems like ponies were walking around for some time.

[2014-12-12 02:25:37] The hole was big and rather deep, composed out of snow... and looked like equines have climbed out of it out of the snow some time ago. [2014-12-12 02:25:37] Everything was shrouded in the darkness and there were no sources of light, besides the moonlight. To make matters easier, after getting their bearings straightened out and Green scouted things out over the treeline and located Mist Veil's cliff in the distance, the party set forth in it's direction.
