Welcome to Gaia! ::

"I still haven't run into Rose Water nor did I see her this morning." Razzle explained turning to still search the crowd for their sister. "Ok so the pony that accused someone got turned into like a living statue with this black magic that just came out of no where." He said in a fearful voice. "We have to figure out who the changelings are that's why we have to chose ponies to accuse." Razzle looked to his sister he was not used to having to be the one explaining things but he could see she was just as scared as he was.

He then looked to the other pony with Prism and tilted his head a bit before getting that face a sibling gets when they want to tease their sister. If there wasn't panic around them he would start singing Prism and Cassi sitting in a tree, but there was no time for that so he shook it from his mind. " Nice to meet you Cassiopeia wish it was under better terms." Razzle said with a frown. "Sticking with the others seems like a good idea, specially if there is any chance we can help." Razzle agreed even though he still felt like he was going to have a panic attack over this.

It was really in panic of the moment that he had joined the two clown performers in voting. A vote had to be made and for him it was easier to vote for a pony he didn't know at the moment. "You aren't the only pony from out of town. But you are the only pony running away from everyone right now!" He tried to keep his ears perked and listen to what was being said but again he rather believe that a changeling was not someone he knew so he decided he might just vote the same again the pony was running and until someone provided some real proof he was gonna have to go with his gutt only. "I'm voting for the pony that ran away again!."

VOTING INACTION ON SILVER GALE

Mute offered Silver a sympathetic gaze, wishing she could just run too. But it was too suspicious, and Mute quickly shook her head and looked to Honky before offering a slight nod. Her judgement was cast.

Serene sighed. Though she had to agree with what Shadow had been saying. Royal was acting weird. The fact that he just ran off so easily abandoning them to look for his love was super weird. He just shot straight off! And the Queen had implied that there was at least on within the family. It had to be Royal, right?

Voting Inaction against Royal

If Shadowed Flower hadn't been busy picking up glass and not having her hooves full she likely would have kick Serene square in the flank for what came. How dare her younger sister accuse their older brother like that? How were her words from earlier interpreted in such a manner? That wasn't at all...entirely...what she'd meant, and the mare cursed inwardly at having Serene take it as such. It's not like she could raise her voice and force her sister to change her opinion, since the younger mare was high spirited and Shadowed would wish nothing on dampening that.

Except, of course, wishing harm upon their older brother.

"Serene, can you stay here and help clean? I'm....going to check on something." It wasn't like Shadowed to be proactive about anything at all, but then again this whole episode seemed like the time for people to do things out of character. No one here really knew anything about one another and that was why the blame was flying so effortlessly, at least that's what she thought. "Sapphire, I'll be back." It was important to acknowledge her other sister as well, to let them both know she'd be stepping away. Just in case one of them was worried she had vanished, maybe.

Or was she doing something more?

Placing the last bits of glass into a pile she carefully tapped her hooves together before starting off to where she'd seen a certain pony go. Someone who'd been needlessly hounded by what appeared to be terrifying mob mentality. It didn't seem like anyone was out for blood per say, but that didn't make anything better; the first time a hoof had been pointed a pony was shocked and taken down. The second time, nothing happened, but a third time? The mare didn't want to risk it, and was about to approach where she'd seen the stranger go before they reappeared.

And so Shadowed Flower got to listen to someone besmirch her family, when all the while she'd been worried for Silver Gale.

Quite nice.

"I came to see if you were okay." Shadowed's voice was naturally quiet from years of willing herself not to speak, not to be heard, but she managed well enough if she tried. "You should come be with a group for safety, even if they are harboring dark secrets." There was a sound of amusement in her voice at the mockery of the words used against her family, though she was sure this pony probably didn't connect the dots that Shadowed was a Cobalt. Being brown in a sea of blue sometimes had its advantages. "You don't have to come if you don't want, but I...don't want you to be alone."

If they tried to grab Silver Gale, Shadowed wasn't going to allow it. She'd step in front if she had to, fight back with whatever might she could muster, but no more of this witch hunt while she could help it. "I don't want you to get blamed for something you're not doing."

END OF ROUND TWO

Well it certainly wasn't long before Silver and this other pony were approached by the guard who was conducting the magical test to show if someone were a changeling or not. She watched him for a moment before he had taken her by the hoof, having to go down the small set of steps of her wagon to follow Just Lance. She gave a small smile at the pony she had been talking to, never really asked their name, might do that if all things turned out well... When she and Just Lance reached a more private area, she felt the magic he was doing drape over her like a blanket. In more ways then one did her hair feel like it was going to puff out like she had been zapped. Silver Gale was one who didn't much like having magic cast over her, but for the sanity of everyone, she kept these thoughts to herself.

'You are free to go. Sorry for the trouble.' was spoken to her as Just Lance let the magic go after it had shown she was innocent.

"That is alright, now we all know that I am not what they thought I was." She gave the guard a wary smile before heading back to her wagon and perhaps the other pony. It was certainly a weight off her shoulders and hopefully everyone else's. Sitting on the lower step to her wagon, Silver just let herself sag a bit, her eyes closed, as if all tension in her had suddenly fled, she was safe...
