>...
>You now lie awake in bed, pondering where to explore first
>Basement?
>Some of the "hidden" doors?
>There's always screwing around in the kitchen
>...
>You settle for the "hidden" doorways
>Gathering your keys and trusty paintball gun, you head out
>The occasional night guard lurks about, but they pay you no mind
>You open the first one you find
>Nothing special
>Just some ancient artifacts
>You close the door
>The next one is just the same thing
>Too bad nothing does
>A couple hours in, and you're bored of checking these
>The only thing that sounds remotely appealing is screwing around with the kitchen
>On your way over, something seems off
>Maybe it was that some pony you've never seen before passed by you in a hurry
>Or could it be that that pony had a bag on their head?
>Hmmmmmm
>Probably nothing
>You get to the kitchen and find the door already open
>Shit, you gotta be extra sneaky
>Someone is already prepping for tomorrow in there
>You sneak past the doorway and over to the side of the kitchen where some things were being left out overnight
>Apparently, somebody else had the same idea
>Bag head!
>You walk behind her and see what they're doing
>The pony looks to either side
>Then pulls a vial out of nowhere
>The instant you saw the vial, you whipped out your gun and shot 'em
>....
>You don't even know why until you look at the vial again, now broken and on the floor
>It is clearly labelled "POISON" with skull and crossbones on it
>And it was almost poured into the princess breakfast oatmeal
>Your job training must have kicked in
>It takes more than some would think to become a worker inside the castle
>Recognizing poison was one of many training exercises you've completed
>Though then it wasn't so clearly labelled
>Weird
>Question is, who just tried to poison the princess?
>You crouch down to get a better look at the pone you paralyzed
>A jet black mare with a couple silver stripes down the mane
Well hello there
>Her eyes widen, and you can tell she wants to flee, but no dice
>Still paralyzed
>In a minute though, she can talk
Please don't kill me, please!
>Well this is a first
>Fuck with her?
>Fuck with her
Why shouldn't I?
>You say flatly
>The look in her eyes is priceless
>She starts shaking as much as paralysis would allow
>All she does it twitch her back hoof
>Keeping a straight face is getting hard
Please, please! I don't wanna die!
>She chokes down a sob
"I'll tell you anything, anything!"
>Hmmm
Anything?
>She chokes down a sob
"Anything!"
>Funmode engaged
If a wood chuck could chuck wood, is fuzzy wuzzy still a bear?
>She stops trembling
"Wh...what?"
Do you like peanut butter?
"I, uhh"
>She's getting confused
Why did Yankee Doodle name the feather in his hat Macaroni?
>She can't even answer
Last one;
What's your name?
"Oh I'm Silver Lining, please don't kill me!"
>Hey wait a minute
>That was the name of the new trainee you're meeting up with in the morning
>You won't tell her that
Well let's Just say that you better hope I don't find you again
>Your shoot her with a couple more shots of paralysis
>Probably enough to last a few more hours
>Then you reach over and press down on the pressure point between the front two shoulders
>Three
>Two
>One
>And she's out
>As you drag her to a less in-the-way spot you wonder if she'll still show up tomorrow
>Guess you'll find out in the morning
---
>You're about to fall asleep
>Note to self; "hidden" doors are lame
>Well that should do it
>Wonder if she'll show up tomorrow or not?
