Orange's room to stay at in the Castle while she stays in Canterlot. The room its self isn't decorated with too much just a chair here, a bed there, and a poster of her beloved Queen.

Orange wakes up groggily after a long restless sleep, the images of the war once again invading her dreams. Though she played little part in the actual fighting of the war, what she had seen scared her greatly. She dragged herself into the bath chambers and stared into the mirror. Her appearance was of her half changeling form which was not to odd for the mare now-a-days, but today she frowned upon looking at herself. She changed her form a couple times in the mirror. She went from her changeling self, her pony self, and then to her sister. She stared coldly at the reflection in front of her. She hissed at it firing a bolt of magic shattering the mirror. She the resumed her form as her half changeling self and sighed deeply. She could never hate her sister, but she was a weakness to her and she couldn't have that. What she lost with Vinyl she gained with Queen Chrissy, her Mom.
"I wonder what my Queen will have me doing today, hopefully nothing to dreadfully boring like following up on that love tax" She sighed and looked out the window at the city still in ruin.

A knock on Orange's door soon could be heard through her chambers as one of the guards from public affairs spoke kindly. For being a half changeling, everyone around here seemed to think it was the new generation, either adoring it or hating it as one. With the main palace treating her as royalty, the soldier on the other side tried to be as polite as possible.
"Miss Glow? I apologize for the inconvenience, but you are requested for tax duty in the office today. Can I get you anything before your arrival?"

A facehoof could be heard echoing in her room. Followed by Orange shaking her head with a groan.
"I jynxed myself.." She mumbles then looks at the door. "Sure, perhaps something more entertaining to do?"

The guard hesitated for a moment, nervous on what to say when something behind him completely had him resort to his saluting stance. "Your highness!" Saluting before bowing to her holed hooves, the guard awaited further orders. "Y-our.. majesty.."
"Guard the door."
Meanwhile. Walking up to Orange Glow's doors, a loud slam was all that was heard before the Queen lit up her horn, walking straight through the door into her room. With vibrating wings now gone, her attitude was indeed strange as Chrysalis turned to her subject and daughter with utmost importance. Her face showed anger, but it also showed clear worry, something nopony was used to seeing on the Queens face.
"Come with me Orange Glow. Do not ask questions. Are you ready?"
The Queen's horn was already lit, awaiting her daughters answer with little to no patience. Hating to send guards when this was a job for her to do alone, Orange Glow's follow had merely been for support of her fellow brotheren. Still new to the culture, Chrysalis wanted her to learn everything there was to know, and to snap whoever was involved in half ofcourse."

Orange did not hesitate for a second looking up at her Queen and mother. The look only concerning her slightly, she nodded and spoke firmly.
"Yes my Queen I am ready."
(Figuring Chrissy or Mom, would be too informal? Tell me what you think Queenie)

With a burning flash of her curved and unaligned horn, the two vanished into thin air. Smiling at her only daughter, in ways, this was precious to the Queen. For a rarity was not an everyday occurrence with their breed. Moving them with speed through teleportation, this magical method was not a favorite to the Queen, however rushing times call for such measures.

(Never Chrissy. But Mother is acceptable ^^)

[Enter Plush and Orange]
With a thud both of them landed on the floor hard. Plush landed on Orange and she let out an "Umpf" and groaned. Magic was not her best suit but she could use it if she had too.

More used to the subtle and easy approach by the teleporting master friend of hers, getting magically whipped around by another unicorn was just not the same. Gripping her head and looking down, Plush quickly rolled off of the changeling mare before groaning herself as she tried to recollect where they were. Scanning the decor of the room and walls, this had to be the new palace. Quite surprised that this mare lives in it, her old memories of this place were worth nothing at this point on. Feeling a hint of sadness to it, her headache had swished that away as she looked to Orange Glow.
"This is your room? I must say, I..m not very good with words, but I have to thank you for not just killing me back there.. Are you a very trustworthy soldier to the Queen?"

As she looked around the room Plush would be able to tell it was indeed the palace, but this room didn't entirely look like it. Orange had her raggedy curtains covering the window that looked out upon the city of Canterlot. The room it's self was pretty baren. Orange only had her nice bed with comfy pillows and a mirror, which was shattered as she could stand the sight of herself.
As she recovered from the landing she heard Plush's questions. "I'm not going to kill you. Mainly because I don't like killing ponies like I said. Also because the Queen needs you alive. Ah.. Yes. I am extremely high ranking and trusted. I am her only? daughter. She trusts me completely."

Finding the room bare and the mirror smashed, Plush questioned asking about that as well. Deciding to drop it for now, the thought of this being the Queen's only daughter was indeed amazing. Unsure how these creatures even mated let alone have children, she kept the confusion to herself. Standing up fully, the mare had to admit she felt incredibly weak for a free pony. Having not eaten in days, along with getting drained, even the floor looked like a soft cloud at this point in time. Holding on however and not trying to give away just how beat she really was, Plush awaited what they were going to do next. Only time could tell, just how long she could manage to keep this pace.
"Thats.. very impressive. Alright, I guess you didn't plan on babysitting today huh?"

"It was that.. Or love tax duty. I took which I thought was going to be more fun. Though I didn't expect to be dragged into watching Night fight Queen Chrissy.. I'm sorry. I brought us here quickly so you could eat.." Orange got up and opened the door to her room yelling for a underling to come before heading back in.
"I don't know if anyone will come.. Half of them respect me the other half feel threatened by me" She sighed.

Widened eyes stand still as they continue to stare at the mare for some time. Full of fear for the stallion, Plush Ramen felt her heart strings tug in that very moment. Unsure how to go about responding and completely stone faced for a brief moment, her raven black mane had been pushed back by a hoof as her blue sapphire eyes broke contact to retreat to the ground.
"He.. fought the Queen? W-hy? Where is he now?"
Knowing Orange had already told her that she would have to wait, the worried mare couldn't find herself to think of anything else. Was he dead? The very thought of him no longer existing left wounds deep within her emotional mental body functions. Plush fell silent, she yearned to hear good news, despite knowing that he probably hated her so. To a changeling, the orange mares emotions were definitely off the charts, obvious to even the smallest as she cared not for anything else.

"Sheesh! Calm down." Orange shook her head at the mare. "Pretty sure I went over this already. When the Queen sent him off he was mostly fine, the mare that was in his company broke a few ribs I think. Then she teleported him to a very bad place which.. He is likely still alive. After we get you some food I'm going to take you to the Queen and speak with her about him. She isn't heartless, she wants to live in peace." Orange sighed the emotional bombardment coming from Plush was significant.

"Likely still alive..."
Hearing her words, Plush tried to calm herself down. She waited this far, she was sure she could wait alittle while more. Taking in a deep breath and exhaling to release some of her worry, the thought that this pony would still help her had made things easier. Leaning against the wall now and just happy to be away from that white padded room, she nodded to the changeling.
"You're right.. I shouldn't get so..worked up. He can handle himself.. I hope."

"Well he Murdered one of our beastlings.." Orange hissed.
"He even had the gale to actually layba hoof upon the Queen!" Her eyes glowed with anger.. She took a few deep breathes.
"I guess food isn't coming.. Want to go on a scavenger hunt?" She looked to the mare.

'Food never comes..'
Mentally whining to herself, Plush nodded to the mare weakly. Moving off the wall and going back to walking, her headache from the talk on Night had only begun to grow as Orange Glow's words sunk through. Fighting against her worry and concern, food was about all she could even hope to get at this point in the game.
"If it means food. Absolutely."

Upon entering her room she went into the bathroom and readied the bath for Plush, she then walked over to her bed jumping into it with a sigh. She rubbed her temples and shook her head.

[Enter Plush Ramen]
Entering shortly after, the orange mare had been rather distracted. The bug Queen was in charge? What happened to the princesses, where were the royal guards? For a complete takeover like this to go through as planned, lives had to be lost, but why? Trying to.wrap her brain around it all, memories of when she last saw the two leaders had crossed her mind. Princess Luna had hated her, trapping her in solitary confinement in the first place. While Princess Celestia refused to even have contact with her, it hurt to realize she had no-one on her side.
The villians or new rulers hated her for ratting out information to Princess Luna, while the ex rulers and subjects hated her for ruling with others to begin with. Plush Ramen had felt empty, hollow, and for the first time in five years, she felt like surviving wasn't an option. She didn't want to survive, she wanted to ensure Night Whsiper was safe and sound.. that was all.. right? Mumbling to herself and turning to look for Orange, she wasn't sure how to even go about escaping at this point on, there was nowhere to run.
"Comfortable?"

Orange looked up at the mare merely shaking her head. "Not entirely, but it's the best piece of furniture here to lay on so.. Anyways.. I ran a bath for you, so feel free to get clean"
Orange curled up in a ball keeping her glowing orange eyes on the other mare.

Post by Plush Ramen on Dec 8, 2015 15:31:49 GMT
Pleased to.hear there was a way to get clean, Plush Ramen merely nodded. Despite this changelings initial behavior, there was something else that caught her attention. She was half pony too, with emotions included. Despite her wanting revenge, she had been treating Plush rather well for a creature who originally despised her. Even so, walking towards what sounded like running water, she turned to Orange in appreciation.
"Oh. Right, thank you.
Walking into the bathroom and shutting the.door, a moment passed by when blue eyes darted for a window. Spotting a relatively small one, the mare questioned if she'd even beable to sneak out without making a shit tone of noises. Shifting her eyes to the nice warm bath, the orange mare crawled inside of it. As the warm water touched her coat, troubles seemed to blow away as the pegasus allowed herself to relax further, she'd figure something out..eventually.

Orange laid on her bed looking at the door. She was never a truly cruel pony and she certainly didn't completely enjoy being mean to a pony, but this pony hurt her and her family. Though for some reason Orange couldn't help but feel sorry for the mare. She knew well that the pony that did all that way back then wasn't actually her, but that didn't help her anger any. Her head was swimming with emotions for quite a bit while she laid there. One thing she knew for sure was that she had to get Plush back into fighting shape otherwise she wouldn't be to entertaining for them in the arena. Orange sighed closing the curtains on the giant window in her room. She sighed and shook her head, her own emotions beginning to seek in. She began whacking her head with her hoof to silence the whispers she knew were her own about her sister.
"Shut up...." She hissed.

Minutes turned to the hour mark as movement could finally again be heard from the bathroom walls. Wringing out her long mane and tail the best she could, the chilly and somwhat damp coated mare had hung her wet towel over the shower before opening up the door to the bedroom. As steam left the once hot and comfortable room, a gust of cool air shot through Plushs fur before erupting a wave of shivers to follow. When had she become so vulnerable? When did the world turn into a survival game? Not attempting to wake the changeling up if she had been sleeping, Plush slowly made her way into the room without much of a peep.
While freshly showered, the mare no longer smelled like death, her raven pitch black mane had been wavy as curls of wet strands hung from her head, sticking to her neck as it normally did so. Shimmering back to normal, her coat hadn't changed one bit from all these years, still orange in its true form, her cutie mark more.predominant after a shower as its dark colored marking brought back horrid memories for some, good for others. To a pony interested, despite her sunken in features from not eating, this mare had her charm.
Still showing of muscle, it seemed to be about the only part of her body that stayed in tact over the years. While she could definitely use a tone up, her form had definitely not been one of aan average typical girly mare. She was a street fighter, a criminal, and a master of escaping, or at least, she used to be. Looking to the bed and not really checking to see if Orange was awake, the mare layed down on the floor. Not wishing to disturb the changeling, Plush.tried not to shiver as.she.curled into herself further. Like it or not, she wasn't the independent pony from before, she was frail, scared, and just plain exhausted in all of its forms. Nothing a bug would have to fear in the slightest right about now.

Orange wasn't asleep if anything she was resting her eyes, seeing the mare shivering caused her to shake her head with a soft sigh. Orange took a spare blanket in her magic and placed it on top of Plush.
"Not that I care or anything.. But you are looking much better, we just have to make sure you eat right" She smiled a bit before her smile fell back to its normal position.

"Thank..you."
With the touch of the fabric causing.Plush to immediately feel more at ease, the mare could only feel grateful. It had felt so nice to be clean and out of that mind trapped.cell, that the mare almost forgot why she was out to begin with. Thinking of the few spare things she yearned to do before she died, Plush shifted to look up at the mare in bed.
"Are we..allowed to go outside? Not right this second but if I had the chance..theres somewhere in canterlot on my kind..unless you have other plans."
Not wishing to overstep her boundries, the line between Orange hating her and being a decent creature was leveling to both sides on an equal scale. Deciding to not push it, the mare rested her head down, her mind wanting to just shut down and rest forever.

"Well I'm allowed to go outside," Orange chuckled a bit "Though technically speaking you are my responsibility, so I choose what we can do. We can go outside at some point I suppose.. And do know, if you run you will be found. Equestria isn't what it was 5 years ago"

"I figured."
Trying not to sound too sarcastic, Plush focused her energy on simply resting for the time being. Questions continued to spiral from her cranium as the orange mare laid rather still. Despite what she wanted to do, Orange Glow was right, running away from the world was way too hard to accomplish. But what else was she supposed to do? She couldn't join them, nor did she want to. Which brought her mind to the arena battle.
"I'm not battling in any arena.. I wont."

"Then you can die there without a fight, honestly I think you could probably take anypony they put you against.. Trust me when I say that is not anyone's choice besides the Queens... And the Queen gets what she wants.." Orange says softly with some pain in her voice before she stopped speaking all together.

Not certain how to respond to that one, Plush fell silent. So she was basically around for bait now? What had the world come to? If she was going to be stuck with the changeling mare for awhile, perhaps it was time she started being nicer and just accept her fate. Or she could stay true to any heliefs she had left and refuse to leave the castle. The mare sighed, neither option seemed like a winning choice. Aiming for a small bit of humor in their awkward silence, Plush tried a different approach.
"Guess I better get done my bucket list, huh?"
