LadyWillPanic 1

[17:09] * Panic_Button is downstairs sitting in a both in the Tavern proper. The gray-furred earth pony mare has a scrawny build and a short, bright-red mane and tail. Wearing a set of burlap barding, she is seated next to her bugfriend and is currently tinkering with what appears to be the outer casing of a grenade. The explosive charge and filler are absent; instead, she appears to be trying to attach what looks...
[17:09] * Panic_Button ...like magnets to the exterior and hollowed-out interior.
[17:09] <Panic_Button> (ping Lady_Bug, Willflower)
[17:16] * Lady_Bug sits at Panic_Button's side towards the interior of the booth. She has her shoulder bag, journal and several loose pieces of paper spread out in front of her and her attention is absorbed with sketching out a picture of her marefriend at work with pencils in both her mouth and wing. The light green, purple-maned pegasus has her other wing draped lightly-
[17:16] * Lady_Bug over panic's back.
[17:17] * Lady_Bug has a pair of lady bugs which unite to form a heart emblazoned on her haunches.
[17:21] * @Willflower makes a rather unceremonius entry into the tavern, the grey coated batmare acking as she more or less falls through the door of the tavern and rolls to a stop in the middle of the floor with a groan. "I really need to like... not fall through the trapdoor everytime." She mutters as she picks herself up, running a hoof through her green mane. She picks up her white slatted shades with a wing and slips them onto her muzzle and adjusts the blacked out NCR Trooper barding she wore. A markspony carbine was slung across her back as well.
[17:25] * Panic_Button startles with a "Whapapah!" as Willflower tumbles through the door, flailing and suddenly darting under the table. Her sudden movement causes the magnets to clatter across the table before zipping together in haphazard fashion. (ping Lady_Bug)
[17:29] * Lady_Bug bolts to attention when Panic_Button panics. She drops both pencils to clatter on the table and jerks her head up towards the rest of the room with a concerned frown. Her right ear flicks, pauses, then flicks again and the pegamare is wreathed in green flames which consume her body and replace it with that of a unicorn stallion. His coat is grey and his-
[17:32] * Lady_Bug mane a very dull shade of green, "What is it Panic?" he asks calmly and politely as he moves towards the edge of the booth to get a better view of Willflower. The stallion is pretty bland in appearance, there's nothing particularly out of place but nothing that stands out either. His cutie mark is a wrought iron gate half-way open.
[17:36] * @Willflower blinkity blinks as she sees a unicorn stallion peeking out of a booth, and a shaking mare hiding beneath the table of the booth. "Uhh, hey?" She offers to them, lifting a wing and waving a little as she looks them over. "Sorry, I didn't mean to scare you..." She says, looking down at Panic_Button as she lifts up her shades, offering a fanged smile. "But you look familar... uhh... uhh... shoot." She taps a hoof on the floor.
[17:37] * Lady_Bug is not shaking panic button and is unsure where willflower would get that impression
[17:37] * Lady_Bug is now known as Gate_Keeper
[17:38] <12@Willflower> [nix the shaking part, misread that somehow]
[17:41] * Panic_Button blinkblinks and cranes her head up... into the bottom of the table. She grunts more out of annoyance than pain and slinks her way back up next to Gate_Keeper. "Uh, her rolling on in all of a sudden. Oh! Yeah, you're familiar too!" She looks back at the unicorn stallion. "Isn't she that, um... uhhhh- right, Wallflower! Right?"
[17:44] * Gate_Keeper lets out a soft sigh and nods at Willflower, "That's alright. This is a common occurrence for us." he winces when Panic_Button hits her head, "Are you okay Panic?" he offers a hoof to help her out from under the table and uses his green telekinesis to brush off and straighten out her mane and tail. He chuckles softly, "I believe it was Willflower." he-
[17:47] * Gate_Keeper turns back to the batmare with a polite smile, "A pleasure to meet you." he trots up and offers a hoof, "I am Gate Keeper. I believe that Lady Bug may have mentioned me before as well as our marefriend Panic Button." he nods towards the earth pony.
[17:50] * @Willflower blinks and then nods to Panic_Button and Gate_Keeper, grinning. "Mhm! Willflower! But just WIll is fine!" She says, dropping her shades back over her eyes before her gaze darts back over to Gate_Keeper as he approaches her. She takes his hoof and gives it a firm shake, grinning. "Ahhh, I don't think Lady Bug ever mentioned you." She says, looking him over. "Only ever met, heh... RRRRRRRRRRRRRadiant Lush." She says, snickering.
[17:54] * Panic_Button smiles softly if a bit shyly at Willflower as she follows along with Gate_Keeper. "Heya. Yeah, Lady and Radiant mentioned you- even drew you. Nice to, uh, meetcha?"
[18:01] * Gate_Keeper returns Willflower's firm shake then chuckles at Willflower and nods, "Yes /that/ I am well aware of Miss Will." his tail and left ear both seem to be flicking every so often for no apparent reason. "In case you hadn't gathered I'm another personality sharing this body." tapping his chest with a hoof, "With Lady Bug and Radiant Lush. We've gone through-
[18:01] * Gate_Keeper some changes since they last spent time with you."
[18:02] * Gate_Keeper briefly glances back at Panic_Button to ensure she's alright but mostly focuses on the batpony.
[18:04] * @Willflower nods to Panic_Button and grins at her. "Yeah, Lady showed me some pictures of you too!" She says, smiling. "You're really lucky to have her as a marefriend, especially..." She looks back at Gate_Keeper. "When she can turn into some pretty handsome stallions, hehe." She snickers a bit, nodding along with what Gate_Keeper explains. "Oh?" She asks him. "What's new?"
[18:07] * Panic_Button blinks and looks from Willflower to Gate_Keeper, blushing and smiling shyly. "Yeah... guess I /am/ pretty lucky..." She kicks at the floor before leaning gently against Gate_Keeper. "Yeah, how long has it been since you've seen one another? The whole all-of-yous-being-able-to-talk-with-one-another thing is pretty recent."
[18:11] * Gate_Keeper continues flicking his left ear and tail as he chuckles and nods at the batmare, "Thank you Miss Will." he telekinetically pats Panic_Button and runs a mote of magic through her mane while supporting her weight. The unicorn glances at his marefriend, "Quite some time I believe." then back to Willflower, "As Panic says we are now able to converse with-
[18:12] * Gate_Keeper each other. Both Lady and Radiant are aware of everything going on right now and eager to speak." ear and tail flicking again, "But I thought it best that I explain the situation first."
[18:14] * @Willflower giggles softly and nods to Panic_Button, before looking over at Gate_Keeper again. "Oh? Is that what the flicky ear and tail thing is?" She asks him. "Cause that's pretty sweet." She says with a snicker. "Might have to change your nickname from Buggy to like, uhh... fuck, I dunno, but that's pretty cool!" She snickers and nods to him at the mention of Radiant. "And I bet Rrrrrrradiant would loooove to do some other things to me too... hehe." She snickers, fluttering her leathery wings.
[18:15] * Panic_Button stares and tilts back a little as Willflower flaps her wings. "So, uh... just curious, what are you exactly?"
[18:15] <Panic_Button> (ping Gate_Keeper wups)
[18:21] * Gate_Keeper nods at Willflower, "Indeed." his tail and ear finally stop flicking for the moment, "And much as we'd love to take credit Panic helped us a great deal when the change first happened." he gently strokes Panic_Button's mane and rubs her back to calm her down a bit. The stallion rolls his eyes slightly. His tail flicks then his right ear. The unicorn-
[18:22] * Gate_Keeper breaks out into a grin, "You bet Batty." he winks before resuming a more polite smile and letting out a sigh.
[18:27] * @Willflower giggles, pointing at herself with one of her wings and flashing her fangs at Panic_Button. "Me? Imma batpony!" She declares proudly. "Descended straight from Luna's nightguard!" She swishes her tail as she glances over at Gate_Keeper once more, smirking at him as he breaks into a grin. "Oh my~." She says with a teasing tone, before looking back at Panic. "Yes, I got to know Radiant... quite well, as I'm sure you've heard."
[18:29] * Panic_Button chuckles sheepishly at Willflower, ears perking up one after the other as Gate_Keeper magically strokes her mane. "Yup... definitely heard about that one. Um... how does... I can't... I can't picture like... a bat and a pony... you know."
[18:34] * Gate_Keeper swishes his tail then flicks his left ear followed by his right. The stallion's head turns to Panic_Button and he speaks more softly than before, "Um Panic I don't think that's how batponies-" he starts to say sheepishly before cutting off mid-sentence and continuing, "... unless that's how changelings..." he resumes his normal tones, "I wouldn't worry-
[18:35] * Gate_Keeper about it too much Lady." the left ear flicks followed by the right again and he again speaks softly, "Alright Gate." giving a little nod then turning to Willflower with a warm smile, "It's good to see you."
[18:40] * @Willflower blinks at Panic_Button, and then at Gate_Keeper, and then snerks, before bursting out into a fit of giggles. "No, no, that's not how it happens. It's like... magic or some shit, I dunno. Both my parents are batponies though." She says, grinning at the two. "You're both quite cute by the way, hehe~." She says, swishing her tail still as she flicks her own ears, nodding to Gate. "Yeah, it's nice to see you again too Buggy, and it's great to meet your, if I might say, very cute marefriend as well~."
[18:42] * Panic_Button 's tail flicks, and Panic smiles sheepishly at Willflower. "Uh... thanks," she says, blushing and kicking her hoof at the floor again. She continues to lean gently against Gate_Keeper. "So! Uh, what brings you here, Willflower?"
[18:44] * Gate_Keeper flushes slightly at the comment about cuteness then simply nods in response, "Thank you." he continues rubbing Panic_Button's back and smiles a bit wider as she continues the conversation with Willflower. He remains silent and lets her talk for the moment.
[18:47] * @Willflower snorts softly and flicks her tail, lifting her glasses up again. "Getting away from my parents." She says, flapping her wings once. "They're so old fashioned, won't even let me drink. I mean, come on. I'm old enough to go get laid but I can't have a fucking beer? Seriously?" She snorts softly again and flicks her tail. "They don't think I can take care of myself."
[18:50] * Panic_Button blinks rapidly at Willflower. "Uh... whoakay. That's, uh... you know, normally ponies tend to have more problems with sex than drinking. I really don't know what to say." (ping Gate_Keeper)
[18:51] * Gate_Keeper frowns slightly and flicks his left ear twice before transforming back into a cute, green female pegasus. "You wanna come sit down so we can talk about it?" she asks Willflower gently while pointing a wing towards the booth she was sitting in with Panic_Button.
[18:51] * Gate_Keeper is now known as Lady_Bug
[18:54] * @Willflower nods to Panic_Button. "Yeah, you'd think, but no, they don't mind me bringing stallions or mares home as long as I'm not getting pregnant... it's ugh..." She frowns, hanging her shades off the front of her armor as she nods to Lady_Bug. "Yeah, yeah. That'd be nice. Any of you want somethin' to drink? I'm gonna grab somethin'."
[18:55] * Panic_Button bobs her head back and forth in indecision. "Mmmmmaybe some Sparkle~Cola? Thanks." She smiles a little to Willflower before nosing Lady_Bug toward the booth.
[18:58] * Lady_Bug reaches forward with a wing and gently pats Willflower's shoulder. She glances at Panic_Button then shrugs both wings, "I guess I'll try having a Sparkle Cola too." she turns towards the booth when Panic_Button noses her and flutters back to her spot filled with papers.
[19:03] * @Willflower nods to Panic_Button and Lady_Bug, grinning before she spins around and takes a running leap at the counter, and slides across the top of it with a shout of "Parkour!" And then a giggle as she lands on the other side. She trots over to the fridge and snags three Sparkle~Colas out of it before heading back out and around the counter. She trots back to the booth that Lady_Bug and Panic_Button were in, and slides in opposie of them, setting the Colas down. "Wanna see xomethin' cool? Watch this?" She takes the little thumb/talon that's halfway up her wing and slices it across the top of the three bottles, shearing the caps off perfectly and snagging them in her wing. "Tada~!"
[19:04] * Panic_Button stares as Willflower yoinks off all of the caps off the bottles and smiles a little. "That's actually a pretty nice trick," she say as she takes her bottle. She then peers at Lady_Bug. "Can you do that?"
[19:05] <12@Willflower> [somethin'* !*]
[19:07] * Lady_Bug covers a giggle with her wing and whispers to Panic_Button while Willflower is getting their drinks, "How do you feel about her?" she blinks in surprise when the batmare opens their drinks with her wing talon then smiles, swishes her tail and claps her hooves. She glances back at Panic then lifts her normal wing for the earth mare to examine, shaking her-
[19:09] * Lady_Bug head, "Maybe if I were, yknow, in my natural form." she says sheepishly then shudders. The pegaling reaches out a wing to take the drink and sniffs at it while draping the other feathery appendage over Panic_Button.
[19:11] * @Willflower grins at Panic_Button and Lady_Bug, swishing her tail idly behind herself. "Thank you, thank you." She says, snickering as she lifts up her own bottle and takes a drink, mmming softly as she leans back in her seat. "How have you two been doing?" She asks them. "It has been awhile since I've been around here."
[19:13] * Panic_Button leans toward Lady_Bug and nudges her with a hoof under the table, giving a minute hoof's-up gesture to show her approval in response before chuckling and turning to Willflower. "Doing good, thanks. Mostly just relaxing with Lady Bug, Radi- sorry- /RRRR/adiant, and Gate Keeper while tinkering with things n' stuff. How about you?"
[19:20] * Lady_Bug glances down and smiles a bit wider at Panic_Button's gesture. She leans into her marefriend a little and nods, "I'm still drawing a lot too." her tail flicks followed by her left ear after a moment of hesitation, "Don't forget what you did to Panic with your tongue last night Lady." the pegasus widens her eyes, flushes and hides her face from Willflower-
[19:20] * Lady_Bug using Panic_Button's neck.
[19:22] * Lady_Bug also lets out a soft "Meep."
[19:22] * @Willflower is about to reply to Panic_Button when she hears the remark from Lady_Bug, and grins, giggling. "Ooooooh my~." She smirks at the pair, her tail swishing as she leans forwards against the table. "I thought you had to turn into Radiant when things got intimate Lady, or has that changed as well~?"
[19:25] * Panic_Button 's muzzle scrunches when Lady_Bug makes that rather unladylike remark, flushing deeply as she in turn tries to hide her face in Lady_Bug's neck from Willflower.
[19:27] * Lady_Bug mutters something unintelligible into Panic's mane in response to Willflower. Her ears fold back but she also swishes her tail.
[19:28] * @Willflower leans forwards with a big smirk on her face, snickering softly. "Ohmigosh... you two are so adorable..." She giggles softly. "And I didn't quite catch that Lady~." She says, looking between Lady_Bug and Panic_Button as her tufted ears flick.
[19:33] * Panic_Button groans something into Lady_Bug's neck, flushing deeper.
[19:35] * Lady_Bug also flushes deep and extracts her muzzle from Panic_Button's neck just enough to mutter, "W-w-we j-just found out, l-l-last night.
[19:35] <Lady_Bug> "
[19:35] <Lady_Bug> ping Willflower
[19:42] * @Willflower swishes her tail quite quickly now, grinning. "Oh my~. That sounds like you had quite the night, hehe." She says, sipping her Cola, her gaze darting between Panic_Button and Lady_Bug. "And to answer your earlier question Panic, I've been doing alright. Courier buisness has been pretty steady, Mom and Dad are /finally/ letting me go to destinations that are a bit further away."
[19:44] * Panic_Button slowly pulls her head away form Lady_Bug's neck, rubbing the back of her head. "Well... okay. Wait, isn't that, uh... NCR stuff on what you're wearing though?" she asks Willflower, taking a moment to sip at her own cola.
[19:46] * Lady_Bug slowly extracts her head from Panic_Button as well and mirrors the earth pony by rubbing the back of her head with a wing. Her tail flicks but she frowns and shakes her head. She glances at Willflower's weapon then her eyes, "Is it dangerous?" then blinks at Panic, "What's an NCR?" she takes the cola in her wing again and takes a light sip, swirls it-
[19:48] * Lady_Bug around in her mouth then swallows. She scrunches her muzzle and shifts her lips about in thought as she considers the taste.
[19:51] * @Willflower nods to Panic_Button. "Mhm! My first delivery I ever made was to an old retired NCR soldier, and he gave me this armor as a gift, saying I needed it more than him now." She says, before looking over at Lady_Bug. She nods to her and wiggles her wing. "It is a bit dangerous, especially the long haul routes we have, but that's why I've got my rifle!" She says, patting it. "Though... I've never actually had to use it yet. Never been far enough away from home that I've been in much danger."
[19:55] <Panic_Button> "Oh... well, uh... stay safe, okay?" she says to Willflower, taking a moment to gently nudge Lady_Bug. "My marefriend here likes you enough to make a drawing of you, so you better take good care of yourself, aight?"
[19:57] * Lady_Bug frowns more deeply at learning of the danger before letting out a sigh of relief that Willflower hasn't had to defend herself. She blinks then gives Panic_Button a brief nuzzle on the shoulder before rubbing the back of her head with a sheepish smile and nodding in agreement.
[20:02] * @Willflower actually blushes a bit at what Panic_Button says, and smiles at her Lady_Bug, swishing her tail. "Don't worry, I know how to take care of myself, and... I know why my parents are so protective of me. I just wish they'd let me have a little more freedom. I want to go out and explore, see Equestria and stuff." She says. "It's so much more vibrant now that the clouds are gone."
[20:03] <Panic_Button> "Which... reminds me," the gray-furred mare pipes up and cants her head at Willflower. "How'd you find the Tavern in the first place?" (ping Lady_Bug too)
[20:05] * Lady_Bug giggles softly when Willflower blushes, smiling wider. She blinks at Panic_Button's question to the batmare and frowns thoughtfully. She then turns to Willflower with a confused frown, "What do you mean /gone/?"
[20:10] * @Willflower giggles softly at Panic_Button. "Welll... hehe. See there's this trapdoor in the mailroom at my courier office, and one day somepony had left it open, cause it's a storage room or something, and I tripped and fell through it, and wound up here. That's why I fall in everytime. Gravity is weird." She says, before looking over at Lady_Bug. "Oh, like, there was this event called SnR, and all the clouds went kaboooooosh! There's still clouds of course, but it's all like sunny and stuff now." She says. "A mare called Littlepip cleared them out after taking on the Enclave with a dragon. It was some epic shit yo."
[20:13] * Panic_Button looks at Lady_Bug and stares. "Oh! Right, Tavern time thing. At some point in the future- I don't know when for you- the cloud cover made by the pegasi goes poof. Sunlight can reach the earth again and new plants can grow. Wasn't aware of the whole dragon thing, though."
[20:15] * Lady_Bug covers another giggle when she learns about the trapdoor then perks up her ears when Willflower starts talking about the clouds. The pegaling's eyes slowly widen and she goes slackjawed, staring at Willflower in stunned silence. When Panic_Button chimes in she slowly looks between them, "B-but w-what's filling the sky!?"
[20:19] * @Willflower nods to Panic_Button. "Yeah, there was this huge battle! My parents were in it actually." She says, before looking over at Lady_Bug and blinking once. "Like, what do you mean? There's still some clouds, just not as many. You can like, see the sun now too, and the moon at night." She says. "It's just... sky.
[20:19] <12@Willflower> "*
[20:20] * Panic_Button blinkblinks at Lady_Bug. "I... I don't get it. It's just... the sky. The sky can fill itself, if that's what you're wondering."
[20:21] * Lady_Bug blinky blink blink blink blinkity blink blink blinks, "What's the sun?"
[20:21] * @Willflower blinks at Lady_Bug and stares at her a moment, and then looks over at Panic_Button. "Should we show her?"
[20:25] * Panic_Button looks right back at Willflower. "Yeah, I guess, but it's a question of whose door's safer- yours or mine." (ping Lady_Bug)
[20:27] * Lady_Bug is still blinking and slowly looking between Panic_Button and Willflower in shock and confusion. She presses herself close to Panic and hugs the earth pony with her wing.
[20:28] * @Willflower hums. "Well my door opens into my town, but like I said, it's a trap door. Where does yours open into?" She asks Panic_Button, before looking at Lady_Bug. "And don't worry, it's nothing dangerous or scary. It's quite... pretty actually."
[21:12] * Panic_Button scratches her head. "Like... a few miles outside of New Canterlot?" she answers Willflower. "Somewhere around that." She then shrugs. "So I have no fricking clue which is safer. (ping Lady_Bug)
[21:13] * Lady_Bug takes a few seconds to respond to Willflower. She still looks /very/ concerned but gives the batmare a little nod then frowns again, "Will people notice us?"
[21:14] <Lady_Bug> will ponies*
[21:15] * @Willflower blinks at Lady_Bug, and then hmms softly. "Not if we stay inside the building. There's no one in there right now, and we can just look through the windows, but if we go outside then yeah probably." She says.
[21:16] <12@Willflower> [ping Panic_Button]
[21:18] <Panic_Button> "Maybe it's best we if go through my door then," she says to Lady_Bug and Willflower. "Now, uh, batponies might be an unfamiliar sight, but hopefully you won't get shot at! I mean, one of my friends living here is a hellhound, and he didn't get shot at! Well... ponies got, you know, kinda twitchy, but... yeah."
[21:19] * Lady_Bug frowns slightly, her right ear flicks followed by her left, "I'd prefer to avoid that if we can but safety comes first." she turns to her marefriend, "So it's fairly safe Panic?"
[21:19] <Lady_Bug> ping willflower
[21:22] * @Willflower nods to Lady_Bug and Panic_Button, swishing her tail. "I'll be fine, I can cover my wings up if I need to." She says, smiling at the pair of them.
[21:24] <Panic_Button> "IIIIIII'd probably say that my end it s probably safer," the red-maned mare says to Lady_Bug and Panic_Button. "It's an outhouse in this one town-ish area outside of New Canterlot, so it shouldn't be too bad."
[21:25] * Lady_Bug nods at both Panic_Button and Willflower in understanding, though there's still a frown of nervous confusion on her face, "Okay..." she gathers up her papers and journal into her shoulder bag.
[21:26] * @Willflower slips out of the booth and nods to Lady_Bug and Panic_Button, adjusting the sling that held her rifle on her back as she stretches her wings out and slips her slatted shades back on. "Alrighty! After you Panic."
[21:29] * Panic_Button looks at the magnets clumped up on the table and sighs before packing them up into one of her knapsacks and tossing the grenade casing in with it. She then scoots off of the bench and trots over to open the front door, which opens up into a view of the back of a building made out of corrugated sheet metal. There is a light wind rustling and the sound of distant conversation.
[21:30] <Panic_Button> (ping Lady_Bug and Willflower)
[21:30] * Lady_Bug dons her shoulder bag then flutters over to Panic_Button and sticks close to her. The green pegasus ruffles her wings nervously and waits for her marefriend to lead the way.
[21:33] * @Willflower smiles at Panic_Button and Lady_Bug, and then slips out the open door and out of the tavern, before looking back at Panic_Button and waiting for her to follow since she knew the area.
[21:40] * Panic_Button leads Lady_Bug and Willflower out of the Tavern, sticking close to the former with what she hopes is a comforting smile. "Oh, uhhhh by the way, since it's your first time... don't look directly at the sun? It's kinda bright." Outside, the air is crisp and warm, and a soft breeze blows through the air with intermittent gusts. They are in a middle of a suburban shantytown amidst rolling hills....
[21:40] * Panic_Button ...Grass is growing back across the land, but it has a long way to go before reaching anywhere near the old world splendor.
[21:43] <Panic_Button> The sky above is open in a blue expanse dotted with the occasional fluffy cloud... no, not the pony. (ping Lady_Bug)
[21:45] * Lady_Bug blinky blinks at Panic_Button and frowns, "But I don't know what that is." she trots out alongside her marefriend and instantly sucks in her breath at the sight of... grass. "It's so... green." she blink blinks and shields her eyes a bit, focusing on the ground. The pegaling hasn't registered the difference in the sky thanks to her focus on the grass and-
[21:45] * Lady_Bug brightness.
[21:47] * @Willflower slips out after Lady_Bug and Panic_Button and ooohs softly, spreading her wings. She looks around, smiling. "This place is nice!" She says to Panic_Button, hopping up into the air with a flap of her wings, before looking down at Lady_Bug. "And yeah, the nice thing about the sun coming back is that plants can start growing again!"
[21:51] * Panic_Button nods and smiles to Willflower in agreement, then looks at Lady_Bug. She chuckles, "Hey, don't keep looking low, Lady_Bug, otherwise you'll miss what you really came out here to see."
[21:53] * Lady_Bug ruffles her wings a bit out of eagerness to fly. She perks her ears towards the already airborne batmare then frowns and folds them back, "What /is/ this sun you keep talking about Willflower?" she slowly turns her gaze up towards her friend, "A-and why is it so bri-" the purple maned pegasus finally gets the chance to register the blue sky her eyes go-
[21:54] * Lady_Bug wide with shock and she tenses. She slowly follows the huge expanse of blue downwards to the horizon, then back up to Willflower. She slowly turns herself in a circle looking for any hint of the familiar cloud cover and barely even registering Panic_Button as her gaze passes over the earth pony. She ends up looking at the sun, winces and shields her eyes-
[21:56] * Lady_Bug falls onto her haunches as she fixes her gaze on Panic_Button. Her jaw hangs open, she gradually begins to slump forwards, her eyes roll into the back of her head and green fire starts unraveling her disguise.
[22:01] * @Willflower giggles softly as she watches Lady_Bug look around and up at the sky, hovering a few feet above the ground in front of her, and she tilts her head as she watches the mare start to slump forwards. "Hey... Buggy, you okay?" She asks, landing with a soft thump. "Told you not to look at the sun, it's bright." She says, lifting a wing to cast a shadow over Lady_Bug. [ping Panic_Button]
[22:10] * Panic_Button at first giggles as Lady_Bug sits down but quickly starts looking worried as her eyes roll up. "... Lady_Bug? Gate Keeper? Radiant Lush? You alright?" she asks, scooting closer and nosing her as the disguise unravels.
[22:14] * Lady_Bug lets out an incoherrent groan as she falls unconscious and the full weight of her upper body falls against Panic_Button. Green flames consume her form and leave behind a changeling. The huge pony-shaped-bug has its mouth hanging open revealing its fangs, its tube-shaped ears folded back and its eyes closed.
[22:17] * @Willflower gasps softly. "Buggy?" She pulls her ears back and looks between Lady_Bug and Panic_Button, nosing lightly at the changeling's carapace. "Wh-what? I..." Her expression is a mix of concern and confusion. She'd never seen a changeling before, but right now was hardly the time to stare. She whines softly, the batpony pawing at the ground with her hooves. "P-Panic... what happened? Wh-why did she... wh-what? I-Is she okay?" She whines softly.
