Silence - Anything?
The day was rather hot and humid. It seemed there were a thousand suns beating
down on you, rather then one. You could also see the humidity itself, in front of
you, the vapor giving you a false sense that you're going to feel the cooling
sensation of mist, not the hell that was this day. This is Silences least
favorite weather. She preferred the dry and coldness of Stalliongrad, her home.
Of all the days of the year, she had to come on the one scheduled to be the
hottest.
As Silence would wander down the main street of Ponyville, she would notice two
interesting colts in her path. One was a light, cyan. He was of a rather large
build. He wore a specialized saddle with a siren and light. The other was of the
average size of a fully grown colt. His coat was a dark blue, and he sported a
rather ugly looking brown fedora. They were conversing about something, but
Silence couldn't tell what. Being nosey, she would approach them cautiously, as
to listen in on their discussion.
The dark blue colt in the fedora was speaking, as she came over, but Silence
only heard a small fragment. She laughs quietly to herself at his Boston accent.
"I heard that the princess's protégé is out here now.. That filly was always a
strange one. Heh... That being said, trouble is bound to follow her, yah' know?
Ill take your advice though, and remain vigilan-," he would say, before pausing,
giving a quick glance over to Silence for a moment. He resumes speaking, "There
any other beat ponies out here..? Or just you?"
The Officer seemed to think nothing of his pause, and replies, sounding annoyed,
"Just me out here," giving a shrug with his wings. "Small town, so you don't need
a lot of beat cops to handle it.." he would continue, before looking as though
he is seemingly thinking.. hard.. about what he was going to say next. All the
while Silence would stand behind them, smirking. This officer will surely know
who she's looking for. He speaks once more, "There's a small militia forming,
though. But they're under my hoof." Immediately after completing his sentence,
he would turn his head to Silence. He had a smirk, but it quickly disappeared at
the sight of the mare. He scowls, raising his brow, "Yes?"
Silence knows how to extract information. Especially from the colts. She looks
him in the eyes, hers possessing a seductive gleam. "Hello.. Officer, I presume?
I have to inquire to you about something for a moment," she says tilting her
head, deviously grinning.
The dark blue colt would adjust his hat. He turns his head towards them during
the exchange. He gave the brown, and blonde maned mare a suspicious stare. She
wore a rather old style of hat, he thinks it was called a cap, and stitched into
it, was a black and white version of Celestias cutie mark. She also sported a
large, black oversized scarf. Further inspection would reveal she bore a rather
interesting cutie mark. It was a crescent moon with a dot in the middle. She
screamed, "Suspicious," to him in his thoughts. He looked back at the officer,
and said, "Well officer, seems you're needed. Shall I leave you to it?"
The officer would give him a nod of acknowledgement. "Catch me after my shift,
I'll buy you a drink," he says, before turning back to the mare. "What?" he
would ask, annoyance creeping in the edge of his voice.
Silence closes the distance between her and him slightly, her face bearing the
grin even still. "Well.. I'm looking for a certain pony.." she says, as she
reaches into her scarf, rummaging through it before taking out a photo. ".. And
considering you're the law of this.. town.. At least, I would presume, I would be
guessing you would know of the whereabouts of its residents?" Her expression
would change yet again, smug. She flips the photo towards him. It shows a
snow-white draught earth pony. Her long bright red mane and tail stick out the
most. Her cap resembles that of Silence's. The ponies' cutie mark is of a large,
red cross, with the hollow outlines of a flower surrounding it. "Have you seen
this mare?"
The colts head leans in slowly.. Inspecting the photo. Only then did Silence
notice he was missing his front left leg. It interested her, but she would find
out later in his file, should she come to find out his name. He looks back up to
the filly's face, replying, "I might have, I'm not sure. If we head down to the
station, I can check my notes."
The other pony lingered, looking quite.. suspicious himself. Silence would look
back to him, and give the colt a cute wink. She giggles softly shortly after,
catching a quick glimpse of the colt blushing at her gesture. They navigated
down a rather confusing series of streets. The officer just remained silent the
whole trip. All the residents of Ponyville gave Silence an odd look.. She loved
the attention, but wished it wasn't because of her odd attire. They arrived at a
rather ominous building. It wasn't that it was eerie or creepy, it just seemed
out of place. Unlike the many cottages that dotted the landscape, made out of
wood and straw, this one was of brick and concrete. It had a dish on the top,
most likely a radar or radio of sorts. It had an air-conditioner, which Silence
was thankful for.
The officer proceeded into the building, and stood in the entrance, waiting for
the mare who was following him. Silence entered the station. Feeling the cold
air of the A.C was a relief. She stood in the main entrance, in front of her,
another set of doors. The one hoofed colt opened the doors, and a smell of..
well, Silence really couldn't explain it. The air seemed blank. The officer
proceeded to take a sharp right turn to a hallway just a few feet after the
door. The sound of the colts trotting can be heard going up, signaling there was
stairs. Silence would trot at her same pace, calmly following the officer around
some more twists and turns of the upstairs hallway. Soon enough, they got to,
seemingly, his office. Rushing into the room, the officer would be heard opening
and closing desk drawers. Silence would trail behind him, before entering the
rather large room. He's sitting behind a desk, now wearing tinted black
sunglasses. She finds humor in this, for some reason, and laughs to herself once
more, like earlier. He's sifting through a drawer full of files, occasionally
glancing up at the mare as she watches him. The officer would look up, and ask,
"So uhh.. Why exactly are you looking for this mare?"
Silence lets out a small chuckle, before replying, "Well. If you must know.."
She flicks her head, making her long blonde mane lay across her shoulders.
"Celestia herself has sent me to look for her. This mare is a criminal, you
know." Her face bears an un-easing smile, as she looks at the colt. His face
remains calm and collective, even after this display. "And as an officer of the
law.. I presume you do not wish for a criminal to be walking the streets do
you?"
The colt would pause at her words; the stump of his right leg would stop right
in the middle of moving a file. This mare is suspicious, enough that she even
seems to possess an aura of it. He looks up at her, asking, "You got any
credentials to back that up? Or are you horse plopping me?"
Silence looks at him for a moment, before bursting out into a random cackle. She
stops after a few moments, and regains her composure, replying, "I don't need a
decree," before once again reaching into her scarf, withdrawing from it, a
badge. The badge is simply just a grayed out version of Princess Celestia's
cutie mark, like her cap. "This is strictly business of Celestia's Shadow."
The officer would pause once more, before hurriedly standing up behind the desk,
sliding the drawer closed. He walks over to the door - making sure no one is
present. This was serious business, and he knew it. He closes the door and walks
back over to the desk, sitting behind it once more. His scowl quickly
disappears, turning straight faced, but deadly serious. "That's a Black Op's
division, isn't it?" If she answers yes.. Oh boy.
Silence's smug grin returns.. as her eyes give off a look of seduction, once
more. "Of sorts.." she replies, sounding rather pompous. Her eyes tell him
everything. She's after information. And she's going to get it, no matter what. It
was in her job description. She stuffs the badge back into her scarf before she
adjusts it, making it comfortably tight around her neck, letting out a soft and
relaxed sigh.
He taps his hoof against the desk contemplatively, in two minds about the
situation himself. He'd been in teams to rescue her team before, and he'd never
come across this strange mare. Or did he? Balaclavas tend to mask and hide ones
memory about someone. Her eyes though, bore.. something.. familiar. "If were
going to help each other.." he began, hesitantly, " .. Then I'll need the police
side of it first. What's the charge?"
"Hmm.. Well. Treason," the mare says. She smiles, like it isn't a big deal. Now
that they're both in a room together.. Alone. She thought she would take another
crack at her technique. She approaches the desk, letting out a soft, seductive,
"Mmm.." before she flicks her mane once more, it laying in the other direction
on her shoulders.
The colt stops tapping his desk for a moment, forming another scowl. "Unless you
actually plan on shifting that tail of yours, cut it out. I don't have a lot of
info on your perp. I can tell you, however, that she's done a stiff one-eighty on
her old ways as an interrogator, at least.. I presume she was. She's medical, now.
Hippocratic medical." Sweet Celestia, this mare is either horny as a unicorn, or
determined, and either way.. It's starting to take its effect on him.
Silence would grow impatient. She knows he's holding back, and boy, did she not
particularly fancy that. She decided she would step up her game, rising up and
placing her front hooves on the desk, standing herself up on it. She would look
down at the colt, grinning as she says, in an alluring tone, "I'm sure you must
know.. more.." Her head tilts, as the grin turns into a smirk, her eyes
narrowing as she looks into the colts eyes.
The three legged colt just deadpans. Usually, if Silence was just being a
shameless flirt, she would laugh, but this situation calls for these measures.
He raises his stump of a leg to her, waving it up. Though he liked the
attention, won't allow himself to be wooed by her efforts.
It was clear this did not work either. This agititated Silence.. very much so.
She also couldn't see his eyes behind the large aviators he sported, which doesn't
help either. "Stop waving your damn fanny in my face. All you're doing is making
yourself seem like a slut," he says, huffing irritably before continuing, "Yes,
I know more. But before I tell you, you have to tell me something.. Why were you
assigned to this case? Who put you on it? Celestia? A C.O?"
Silence would frown at the fact he's ignoring her.. efforts. This was as far as
she would go for now. Sighing, disappointingly, she gets off the desk. "Celestia
herself told me to find this traitor. This assignment is of upmost importance!
And I need all the information I can..-" she would pause a she speaks, giving
off a little twitch, before continuing, "..Get."
The officer gives a slight nod to Silence, tapping his stump of a leg as he
looks as though he's thinking hard. Very hard. "She likes to drink at a bar run
by the mare Peppermint Schnapps. She doesn't get to drinking a whole lot early,
but once she gets comfy, she gets into it. She's also taking care of a hick, by
the name of Applejack. She owns the local apple orchard. Odds are, you can find
her at those two locations.." he says, before he pauses for a moment, a smirk
forming on his face, before he resumes speaking, "I can draw her out, if you
want. We met at the bar once, and we got along quite well." He would reach his
good hoof up, and lower his glasses, like something out of a stereotypical
detective flick. His ruby red eyes look into hers, as he says, "Of course.. I'll
need a favor. Provided you want my help." This mare is getting to him, and the
way he said that.. Wasn't the way he intended for it to sound.
Silence would smirk, hearing him say, "Favor." Years of.. experience.. have
taught her this could mean many things. Many. Things. She would laugh, saying,
"Favor, hmm? Now what sort are we talking about here?" Once again, she flicks
her mane, sighing.
She notices the officer roll his eyes, even behind the shades. "Just drop the
cutesy shit. If I wanted to have you that way, I would've made it apparent
earlier, when you were cockteasing me. No. We recently just got a detective in,
who's apparently got a worse record than the last one released by Green Neigh.
Expunge it of the bad. That is, if you're really suckling up to Celestias teat.
Shouldn't be a problem, for you, then." He's cracking, and he is slightly annoyed
by it.
Silence looks as though she's pondering deeply about his proposal, closing her
eyes tight and bringing her hoof to her chin, tapping it. She opens them, saying
afterward, "That can be arranged." The mare would smirk deviously. Honestly..
deep down.. she wishes she could break this colt and have a good time.
"Anything.. else?"
The officer just deadpans again, his eyes behind the aviators examining and
analyzing her. Maybe she's.. serious? He finds himself saying, "Sweet
Celestia... You're hornier than a damn unicorn, aren't you? I guess it's-...
Okay. Fine. We'll see after my shift." He gave in.. though he feels disappointed
with himself, but the thought of what may occur later.. excites him.
She would continue her game, letting out a cackle, the smirk widening. "We'll
see.. Huh? Okay then," she says, in an alluring tone, again. Maybe he's just
playing, as well? She couldn't tell, due to him adjusting his glasses to cover
his eyes again. She would also tilt her head to the side slightly, asking,
"Now.. You sure you've told me everything?"
The colt would give a nod. "Everything I know, at the moment. I've been overseas
for the last couple months, so I'm not totally clued in myself. But go find
Applejack, she's your next best lead. Oh and uh-.. Say you're looking to get
into medicine or something and she's an old friend, I guess. Apple likes people
who work hard, too, and that are honest. But that bit's not really an option."
Silence nods and smiles, as well. "Well, thank you officer," she says, turning
around and beginning to head to the exit. As she gets to the door, she would
turn her head around, and ask, "So when's the shift over?" narrowing her eyes and
looking into his aviators, her stare alluring.
Obviously shocked at her question, he would jump in his chair. She really is
serious.. His ears would perk up, before his head shoots up at the clock.
"Uh-Uhh.." he mutters, sounding nervous, looking as though he's pondering, "T-Two
hours from now. Yeah.. Two hours." He would shiver a bit, laughing quietly and
nervously to himself. Oh how Silence loved this.
Silence adjusts her hat, and giggles cutely, "Well. I'll see you then," before
exiting the room. Though she wouldn't exit without flicking het tail and wiggling
her flank in the doorway. She didn't know how she got to wanting to set a
play-date with the three legged colt.. Must be the heat getting to her. None the
less, she's not one to welsh.
She cackles, as she hears the colt in the office say, ".. 'Bout damn time," to
himself. She may or may not show up after his shift. Though she is shifting to
the former..
