Joxer's Room

[Joxer]

Joxer's room was given to him for the purpose of giving him both a place to stay when he is requested to, and a place to keep all the things he's accumulated over his travels and jobs for the new leaders of the land. One wall is a bookshelf with many books and some trinkets, mostly for ornamental purposes. His bed resides in the middle against the back wall, no backboard so that he can see out of the huge window right behind it. The light falls in as the sun sets, showing the mostly unoccupied room's various furniture and lights. Other than what has been described, there isn't much else.

(This is requested by Chrysalis )

[Correctional Forces]

Rushing through the halls upon order, an average yet bulky mare soldier had pounded against her majesties pet's door with a force to be reckoned with. Speaking with an orderly tone yet knowing he very well out leveled her in rank, the pony awaited his response. Time ticked on inside her head as the light coated green unicorn mare wore armor with the engraved symbol of the changeling Queen on the side of her helmet, Nightmare Moon on the other as she gave the one called Joxer approximately ten seconds before knocking once again. Early in the morning with many hours left in the just arising day, it would seem her need to get back to her family was only eight hours away. With a dark blue short mane looping through the helmets base, the pacing mare tried not to think of the possibilties of being late. Shrunken lightly yellow eyes panicked at the thought before speaking louder.

"U-pon request, Sir Joxer is needed to arrive in her majesties throne room. Please."

[Joxer]

In response there are hoofsteps sounding softly on the carpet on the other side of the door, along with a small huff of annoyance as the one requested opens the door. Joxer looks at the mare with slight annoyance and then a brief twinkle of mischief in his blue eyes as he smirks, scratching at his scruff.

"Sorry for not answering sooner, soldier. A nap is always needed after reading don't you think?" He grins and stretches, his shoulders cracking loudly as he does so. "Did she say what for, soldier?"

Despite having said he had taken a nap, he looked very energetic for one just recently woken. He adjusts, scratching his neck slightly as he does so, at a thick black leather collar inset with a small green crystal in the middle as he waits for her answer.

[Correctional Forces]

He was talking to her.. the Queen's pet was talking to her..

"Ye-es sir. I..I mean no sir she did not. We must hurry!"

Looking around the room and not truly wishing to make eyecontact, doing her job, the light green mare had turned before starting to walk into the hallway. Pleading eyes hoped that the tan and light brown stallion would follow accordingly. Of course when was anything simple in her life? Stomping her hoof to the bad thoughts, the muscular yet obviously intimated by him pony had moved forward in a quicker fashion, assuming his pace would patch hers if he truly wished it to do so.

[Exit Meadow to hallway]

[Joxer]

He watches her walk on and grins to himself, following slowly after he levitates a messenger bag over to himself from the table, things inside of it settling as he pulls it over his head.

D'aw, she's stuttering, how cute. This is going to be fun.~ He hums and quickly hops after her, the door shutting as the light blue magic shuts pulls on the handle, resounding in a soft thump. He talks quietly, "Of course, of course, we mustn't me late... should we?"

[Exit Joxer to the Hallway]

[Joxer]

[Enter Joxer from the Throne Room]

With a soft flash of light, the upset tan stallion appears, starting to pace in his room as he thinks about what just happened. (short post, internet is scheduled to go out apparently(

[Queen Chrysalis]

(No excuses, only results! *Slaps*)

As the stallion found himself in his room once more, the small and harmless crystal ball on his desk top had grown to its full size on its own. Normally able to shrink when not in use to the size of a marble, the magical object had begun to show the last and most recent pony Joxer's been checking up on. As if telling him what he wanted to see, the orange mare appeared through its rounded vision. Continuously waking up from her slumber and staring to the wall, Joxer could almost see his name being said through reading her lips as the emotional mare rolled over to try and sleep her life away some more. Before showing anymore however, the ball had turned clear once more, shrinking back to its marble and travel state as it silenced itself for his convenience.

[Joxer]

(*gasps and winces* that hurt mamaaaa)

He blinks in surprise as the ball grows to full size, walking over as the events unfold. His heart aches as he watches her restless sleep, wincing slightly as he reads her lips, his name upon them. Leaning heavily on the table, he watches the vision vanish and his eyes start to tear up, the hurt falling from his face to the desk, pooling slightly as he cries. After a minute he takes a deep breath and wipes off his face, closing his eyes before opening them and moving around the room, collecting a few things. He takes his messenger bag and stuffs in a few dog treats, a small picture, and metal mirror the size of a tea cup.

Taking a few deep breaths he closes his eyes, You're... only going to talk, say goodbye... and just go. GO and with a flash, he's gone.

[Exit Joxer to the Prison]

[Joxer]

[Enter Joxer with a soft flash of magic]

Joxer hums as he appears in his room, grabbing a book and flopping onto his bed with a soft sigh, his muscles loosening up as he opens the book and reads. With a relieved smile on his face, he thinks as he gently flicks through the heavy pages. Today has been an interesting one... I can't believe all that happened, and the Sultan visiting randomly as well huh? He sighs gently and rolls onto his belly, closing the book and staring at the glass orb on the table just in front of him. And now... she's safe, for a while at least..

[Legion Voice]

[Enter Legion Voice]

Reaching the destination he was given, Legion Voice took a moment to himself. Whoever was behind this door, the Queen liked, that had to be enough motivation. Right? Knocking on the hard wood door for an answer, the changeling stood proud as his armor hung from his body form fitting as per usual. With a helmet and half body suit to go along with it, his outfit had only been permitted when he went to do meaningless tasks for the Queen's errands. Still, pleased to have a badge located on the upper right hand corner of his chest plate signalling his success, the creature awaited a response.

"Open up officer."

[Joxer]

Joxer hums softly, looking up as he hears knocking on his door which was followed by a brief command. Eyes twinkling with a soft delight and a small smirk as he calls out to the door. "No, I think that I'm good. You can come in though."

[Legion Voice]

Confused by the coy words coming from behind the door, Legion merely arched a brow in response. Was he to just march inwards? With given permission, the door opened briefly as the changeling in suited armor twisted the handle to come fully inside. Scanning the interior and spotting the stallion before him, Legion had shut the door before speaking any further.

"You are the newest recruit I see. You have been given a special objective and a reason for living. Ensure the Queen is always safe. In doing so, we track down the best of the best. We hunt those who plan to destroy the new order. I am Captain Legion Voice. You will do what I ask of you on the field, no hesitations or excuses. Understand? What I do, I do for the Queen. If you understand and respect that, we will be on good terms. Do I make myself clear?"

Speaking as though he were a soldier with this information drilled into his head, the changelings voice had not altered or rose in any way as its speech was carried out. Instead, it was calm and collective, as if he truly believed in what he was doing was for the best. Standing before Joxer was no ordinary changeling. Despite the looks of every other bug, this creature spoke perfect Equestrian, his mind sharp as a ponies, readying him for whatever smart remark he assumed the brown stallion had to say.

[Joxer]

Speaking of coy, the large stallion rolls off the bed, standing tall and stretching before looking down at Legion with a smirk. "Not necessarily recruit, more like volunteer... but I already have a reason for living and it isn't to keep her safe, though I do that anyways. I understand that this is a mix of theatrics and it is your duty to say as such, but I'd prefer if you didn't use them on me. I like my facts straight. But, that being said I do understand what you're saying and I care for her too. I do have a request, about your... monkey see money do command, if you'll let me say it."

Throughout all this he walks to the front of the large bed and leans against the foot-board, calm and collected with only a playful look in his eyes while his smile had disappeared. He knew this type of action, and knew what he had to say.

[Legion Voice]

Legion stood in wait, ears listening to the stallions every word for a clear up on conditions. Who did this stallion really think he was? Allowing air to pass through his diaphragm to his lungs, a quick exhale route had moved his chest towards controlling the breathing patterns on a normal calming scale. He was different then the normal soldiers he asked for. This one wasn't out for revenge, or planning on world domination, he merely seemed to enjoy serving the Queen.

"What is your request? I do not mean to intimidate you in any way. I came here because my Queen saw talent in you. Let us hope that is the case."

[Joxer]

"Well, I should sure hope she saw something in me, having me be here for her for five years, but that is beside the point." Joxer chuckles softly and scratches his chin. "Could you not be so formal with me? Sorry, but I just can't take military types seriously."

[Legion Voice]

His request had caught Legion at a weird place. Simply going from proper military statue to regular chatter for a teammate wasn't going to be easy. More so, it was ingrained into his mind from day one. Placing a hoof out for the stallion to shake it, the changeling and captain of the new order was going to try. A new team had to be built, and with that, came trust.

"I will try. You are the first picked for my new team, surely I can adjust to please everyone."

[Joxer]

Joxer watches the little soldier's reaction, smiling softly as takes the offered hoof and shaking it. "Thanks, It means a lot to me."

[Legion Voice]

Shaking the stallions hoof, Legion felt internally more comfortable about the new team start already. Deciding that this pony would need to know sooner or later about his old team, the changeling had been about to talk when something odd coursed through his body. Feeling a large set of emotions coming from the throne room, Legion Voice had hoped the Queen was doing alright. Knowing she could handle herself, he seemed to get right to business. Pulling out a map of the area, Legion had placed it on the ground before pointing to a few locations.

"There's been alot of chatter about some group not following code on Equestrian laws. Killing creatures, wanting to take over, etc. First hoof, I have witnessed a pony come here and speak of them. While his temper was disgusting, his talk of the group was something I wish to personally have us investigate. Do you need anything to get ready? We plan to simply talk and stay low, however if things get ugly, we have the go to blast these criminals away."  

[Joxer]

With a shake of his head, Joxer grabs a bag and tosses a few things in it; the orb from the queen, a few vials of various contents, a book or two (because reading is a necessity kids), a knife, and a bag of coins. As he turns around to look back at Legion with his usual smirk on his face.

"Nope, I think I'm ready enough."

[Legion Voice]

Giving him an odd look, Legion had simply shrugged it off before nodding affirmatively. Turning to the door, he had soon discovered his armor was going to be way too much for this mission. Sighing and looking back, the changeling had to make a quick stop to his home first. Hoping his new recruit didnt mind, he went for it.

"I must make a quick trip to my home in the next town over. It is unfortunately out of the way of our destination. If you prefer, we can meet up outside the city outskirts. Or, you may come with me."

[Joxer]

(aren't i just the best person?)

"If you don't mind me coming with, I'd like to. It'd be interesting to see." Joxer smirks slightly and shrugs before going back to his normal neutral state, though he still has a twinkle in his eyes as he opens the door for the short being.

[Legion Voice]

Surprised on his words, the changeling had taken his stride out the door. Pleased to hear he did not wish to go away, Legion Voice had a lot to learn about his newest partner, surely this time together could get them closer. Glancing over the stallion carefully, his demeanor was not normally that of a soldiers, perhaps there was more to him then he could see.

"That is very kind. I should have enough for two train tickets. How are you with travel?"

[Joxer]

(*apologizes for being a terrible person and letting you down for so long)

Joxer smirks slightly at his question, chuckling to himself as he waits for Legion to exit.

"Did the queen just say, here is this pony I trust, take him with you? I'm great with travel, I don't even need a train to do it either."

[Legion Voice]

Giving the stallion a curious gaze, Legion had absolutely no time to read over this pony's file in time for his pick up. In fact, the changeling was initially very surprised to see a replacement so soon. Disliking the position he was placed in, a mental note to read up on Joxer later was on the to do list. Walking into the hallway, Legion Voice knew the best way to learn information, was by simply talking.

"No kidding? Do tell."

[Exit Legion Voice & Joxer into Palace Hallway.]
