>You are Penny Pinch, gentlecolt thief extraordinaire - a somewhat lanky, young adult pegasus.
>On a tip from your fence, you infiltrated Wall Manor - a big stately home in the countryside whose owner just died with no heirs.
>Meaning lots of nice shit to steal, and no one around to give a damn.
>You flew into the backyard, feeling a strange magical effect as you passed the cement wall around it.
>You entered an office on the second floor through a window - which shut behind you.
>After cracking an empty safe, you were seen by an earth pony stallion who seemed to recognize you, despite wearing a featureless, face-covering mask, and a simple suit, and ran off screaming.
>You followed him downstairs, and lost him.
>You heard shuffling in a nearby room, and tried to lure out the occupant by pretending to be the spirit of the deceased Mr. Wall.
>All you got for your trouble was the mare thinking you were one 'Glitter' trying to play a joke, shouting at you to knock it off.
>After waiting a few minutes, you entered the room, the door squeaked, and she saw you.
>But she wasn't frightened. She was relieved.
>She asked if you were from the police or 'the studio' and you lied and said you were police.
>Excited, she called another pegasus stallion, one 'Ribeye', into the room, saying something about 'we can leave now'.
>When Ribeye showed up, he saw through you immediately and pegged you as a thief.
>But still remained not hostile. Kinda jerky though.
>You maintained the lie, and while Rib didn't buy it, the zebra mare, Telemetry, seemed to like the promise of escape enough to give you a shot.
>She followed you to the front door, which was unlocked but somehow could not open.
>You also tried and failed to open and break a window.
>You asked Telemetry about using a chimney you saw outside as a means of escape - she revealed it is far too small.
>She also shut down the possibility of a basement, and of the resident unicorn, a still-in-school colt named 'Glittergold' breaking the magic hold keeping you all here.
>Refusing to give up, you started exploring with her, going into a dining room where you asked what all the ponies were doing here.
>She revealed she is a reporter here to do a piece on Mr. Wall's passing.
>Glitter was dared to enter by a schoolmate.
>She couldn't tell you about Ribeye or one 'Shady Pines' though.
>She filled you in on a few locked rooms around the building, and lead you upstairs to find them.
>You encountered Glittergold there, introduced yourself to him, and ducked into the 2nd floor bathroom to search for valuables.
>You, against all odds found a bag of jewelry in the toilet tank.
>Leaving that room, you then unlocked the room nearest the bathroom, revealing a very red bedroom.
