Silver looked up at the pony that was speaking to her once again. She didn't think she could take anymore of what was going on. She just knew the moment the barrier was gone, she was leaving, perhaps going far away and not returning to this location for quite some time. Just right now, she wanted to be lone, she just didn't know how to say anything without biting someone's head off for it. "Its not like this hasn't happened in my past. The caravan is always taking the blame for something even if they never did anything but try and bring joy and color." She stood, taking the steps to the door of her wagon. "This is little different. Threats happen and the ones the go after, sometimes first are those that they aren't familiar with. Ponies like familiarity and things that stand out are the things they look to first."Sliding the latch to her door she looked back, "It is hard to hate someone who is trying to preserve what they know best. Family, friends, community. We all seek the comfort of things familiar and right now, I seek the comfort of a lilac and honey tea."With this said, she opened the door, though left it open as she walked inside and pulled a kettle off a shelf and set it on the small stove to the left side of the wagon. Tea sounded wonderful right now, she had a little Lilac left, she would have to buy more before she left the market if she could fond some... When everything was over and the Changelings found..

 This was an absolute nightmare, a complete and total nightmare. Every muscle in her body had frozen, which had clearly been some sort of magic but she hadn't even really been able to think because Miss Bullseye had been in such a panic from not being able to move. The second she could feel the mobility come back to herself she took a deep breath and sat down heavily beside her friend who had been ignoring her since she'd been frozen. Since he'd called out to save him from his sister.
Breaths came in roughly now that she was released and she looked around for some sort of familiar face, someone that she could talk to or be near, someone that might ground her from the worry losing a friend and being accused by another friend's family had instilled in her. Another pony had been found innocent, a traveler just like herself. Hearing the talk while she'd been frozen she wasn't entirely a fool to the fact that others thought of her the same way, maybe even Royal since she'd been frozen. But it still hung hard on her when all she'd wanted was to make them smile with performances.
"Okay..." Bullseye said gently and wandered back over to where she'd left Gypsum, all by himself now that Deli's sister and her friends had moved her friend. She glanced over at them as she placed him back in the little pouch around her neck, but at at least one of them had been side eyeing her and she just....
Tears started to trail down the black marks under her eyes and she sat down to listen to the other ponies around her, grateful that the dark markings covered them.

Sunset blanker what felt like forever. Usually they were calm and rather indifferent to what was happening around them. Things were happening and quickly though... Other where being accused of being Changelings!? Perhaps the panic just really never set it on them but they worried for their friend. They finally made it to the stand.
"H-Hello? Where is Piper?"
Sunset flipped out their phone and frowned. They battery was extremely low and they put it away. I'll save this for emergencies...

 Cherry watched as the silver mare was pulled aside and the spell turn white. While they were glad the mare wasn't a changeling, that meant another round of voting had failed. Cherry looked over to Deli still motionless and frowned deep. "I'll be back. Look after Deli and Teal for me Mango." Nodding to the two by their fruit cart, they moved towards Just Lance to see if they could get some more clarity on just what was going on and to see if there was anything the stallion could do for Deli.
"Just Lance, sir." Cherry nodded in respect to the unicorn. "I haven't been following everything that has happened since Delicate Trinket was frozen." Cherry said as deep frown of worry for their love appeared on their face. "That is my fault for being unobservant, but Deli means so much to me that I was blinded." Cherry looked straight at the unicorn. "I suppose what I'm asking for is anything, that might let me help you in figuring out what is going on." Cherry thought back to the motionless pegasus. "And if there is anything you know of that will help Deli." Cherry hoped that Just Lance would be able to shed some light on the current events that they had missed.So Long Gay Boswer Cherry is talking to Just Lance Peterpan_da144 Cherry is moving away to speak to Just Lance

 Closer than close friend? Oh my, even the words were bringing a blush to her cheeks. Though, trying to see it beneath her dark chocolaty pelt would prove to be most difficult. She had a great deal of romances, and to be quite honest it was just in her nature to latch onto such things. Her heart was large and knew no boundaries. That being said, however, the girl never exactly introduced herself to another pony's family or friends as anything more than just friends. This was new, and to be quite honest it made her stomach do small flips. The sort of fluttering one might feel in the throws of young love or infatuation.
"Razzel, it's a pleasure," she had left her greeting short because- well, this wasn't exactly a time and place for meeting her beau's family! Ah, she could have done cute ribbons in her hair, or at least freshened up first, but alas they were all thrown into this madness.
"T-to be quite honest, I just don't want to wander. If we stay here at least we have one, two, three of us that can watch each other's backs." If only she had her papa there. He would have protected her like a prized jewel. For now she would have to put her safety into the hooves of Prism and her family. How safe was that, though?
Cassiopeia tried to still her racing heart as the ponies around them bickered and squabbled. This sort of chaos was not an environment in which she was used to. Order and class was how she was brought up and in this moment, she couldn't think straight. Everybody was trying to put their opinions into a mixing pot and Cassi, being frightened and impressionable, latched onto the ideaology of Razzle. Why would any sane pone want to run away from the group? Then again, just moments ago Prism had been wanting to do the same but to find his family. Everything was so confusing!
The other's sought them out, put them through examination and soon it was revealed that Silver wasn't one of the wolves hiding among sheep. She sighed in relief, glad to know that there was at least one other who was certainly not a changeling. One more pony that could be trusted.
wc: 385 [X]Natty-Chan[X] I have a few days off homework now, so I'mma try to be more present. ;-; sorry!

"It is my hope," Just Lance answered him, looking over to where Delicate Trinket stood motionless, "That like the ones who weren't moving earlier, she will unfreeze in some amount of time. It's my honest belief..." his ears flicked back, a sort of worried motion.
"I don't believe these bugs mean us any harm. I pray, very genuinely, that I am understanding this correctly." Just Lance lowered his voice to nearly a whisper, leaning closer to Cherry to murmur.
"Between you and I, I'm rather thankful we aren't taking more drastic measures. Perhaps... perhaps when this Mother arrives, she will see that we haven't done any harm to her Children, and we can all work this out. Peacefully."
He softened a little bit, and offered a sympathetic pat to Cherry on the shoulder.
"I... know what it means. To be paralyzed with worry. My own wife- Blind Love. She is the alicorn of relationships... I believe the changelings took her. On that... all we can do is our best for them."

From where she was sitting, where Deli had once been frozen, Miss Bullseye was close enough to hear words despite the pressure that seemed to be building in her head in an effort to stop her tears before she had an audience. It was a trauma, certainly, to be frozen and unable to do anything but that didn't mean she wanted dozens of ponies staring at her like she were pathetic either. And in this moment she felt as though she were.
Slowly she brought one hoof up to rub the tears off the fur on her cheeks before standing up and walking towards the voices that she'd heard talking not far off. Every step she felt heavy, but it was more her own sort of isolation and realization that the Changelings were out there, that nothing had been done with two innocent ponies accused and acquitted.
"Ah... Sir Just Lance. Ch-Cherry?" Miss Bullseye took a deep breath once she got close enough and tried to steady herself, pulling herself up as if she were in front of a crowd with comfortable fire around her. "If either of you are interested, when frozen, you can still hear everything that happens around you. Everything that's said." Her soft purple eyes peered out past the fall of her fiery mane at them, curious if either could use that information as she'd heard a few things in her immobilized state. Slowly she turned her head and looked at Deli near the fruit stand and then back at Cherry, not a fool to her frozen friend's feelings.

Royal was quick to press his forehead to Glitch's. "Hey...hey, look at me. Breathe. We're all going to be fine. All right. Do you trust me, Glitch?" his tone was soft. Low. Once he gave Glitch a few minutes of breathing he backed off to look at his sister. He smiled as he nuzzled her closer to Glitch. "Do me a favor instead sis. Leave Momo to me. I have to go talk to Just Lance." he glanced to Glitch silently begging the other to keep quiet about something. "I trust you, Piper. You've always been the level headed one." he hummed as he snuggled her before pushing her closer to Glitch. "Glitch, if she gives you any trouble...I'll delete her save files on the game console at home. The one she can't get to without my height." he smirked as he quickly started to move away before Piper could flip out on him. He started to make his way towards Just Lance, keeping a steady pace. As he walked the stallion glanced over to Deli. Making a face he changed his course to go to her. Checking on Mango in the process. It wasn't like Cherry to leave his sister alone when she was about to have a panic attack. He broke out into a gentle trot. "Mango...are you okay?" he called out to the gentle female.

Mango glanced at Cherry and nodded uncertainly. "Be careful..." she whimpered, watching her sibling trot away to talk with Just Lance. She moved closer to Deli, shaking a little bit. She wanted to stay with Cherry, but she didn't want to upset her sibling by stepping away from the one they wanted to stay safe. She startled slightly at a voice, dipping her head nervously as she glanced in the direction of the voice. Seeing it was Royal, she relaxed, but was still very wary. As he trotted over, she smiled a bit, dipping her head once more. "I... I should be fine," she said softly, glancing aside to Deli. "I can still move..." she hummed, pressing her flank to Deli's gently. "Royal..." she took a few paces towards him, away from Deli and Teal, tilting her head so she could see him better through her bangs. Glancing back towards Deli and Teal, Mango sucked in a deep breath. They were both clean, but she was uncertain as to if she could trust Royal entirely. She tilted her head back towards him once more, magenta eye examining him without blinking as she moved close enough to whisper to him without being overheard. "Royal... When I was helping Cherry and Teal move Deli..." She paused. "One of the guards whispered something to me, about the red mare who was nearby when Deli got frozen," she hummed worriedly, glancing in the direction of the red mare (Bullseye), who was standing with Cherry and Just Lance. Mango stiffened at the sight, pawing at the ground nervously. "Royal," her magenta gaze turned back to him, although hidden now, head ducked ever so slightly. "Royal, I don't know what to do," she whimpered.

"Can you now?" Just Lance responded, a little breathless. He turned his own attention to the immobilized mare. Not waiting on the others, he trotted over to where Delicate Trinket stood, assuming a post in guarding her. His one good eye was sympathetic as he nodded to the blue pony, speaking quietly to her.
"Well then. I suppose... I'm sorry for all of this. But I'll be here, and I will make sure nothing else happens to you."

 Piper looked at her brother and pouted. "how could you threaten something like that? You know I will take care of my- ...Best Friend." She nearly said the cutesy name she had for Glitch. "Take care of Momo. Hopefully Lance has some good news for you!" She called back.
"I'm here for you Glitch." She sits next him. "I don't think anyone wants to see what happened to Delicate happen again."

The door had been left open in what Shadowed would have considered an invitation, and she was about to go inside and see what else she could maybe help this pony with when a sudden feeling punched her in the gut. She swung her head around just in time to see Bullseye moving again (good) but another pony....stop. Cold fear swept over her withers, and she took one look in the open door, hoping to catch Silver Gale's eye, before she turned and all but ran back towards the festival. It wasn't like she knew what was going on, just that some felt off. Shadowed Flower wasn't magical or physic or anything of that sort, but sometimes she liked to believe her gut feelings actually meant something other than indigestion. As soon as her hooves were able she tried to find the source of the discomfort, hoping to settle herself down. Perhaps she should check in with her siblings to see if they noticed it as well, and so her booth was her first stop. And there she saw Sapphire, unmoving. Shadowed had no idea what had happened, but whatever it was happened to be painfully obvious. There was a new pony there too (probably Sunset, if Piper's babblings about ~friends~ could be taken in), and the brown mare narrowed her eyes as she got closer to her older sister. A look of sorrow washed over her as she nuzzled her face against that of the frozen, but otherwise looking unharmed mare, and Shadowed glanced about the area. Her older brother, the one who was supposed to protect them, was off talking to everyone else but his family. His concern to be such an amazing guardian apparently extended far beyond where it mattered most and that bitterness stung the earth pony. As for her sister? Fawning over her crush like the pegasus was so fragile he'd break on his own, sending her friends over and then not even bothering to come back and check on them. Their priorities were clear, even if she'd stepped away only moments earlier to check on someone who'd been all by dragged off by a mob. At least she came back when she felt like something was wrong. "I hate this family." She probably shouldn't have said it out loud, but the words slipped anyway as she settled close to Sapphire. The words were both bitter and sad in equal measure, and Shadowed closed her eyes to stop having to look out at her brother and sister. It's not like they were bothering looking back at the rest of them. Abeno Seimei just cause shadowed is looking at you Kesmi shadowed was starting in but suddenly darted off SwordOfTheDarkOnes just cause shadowed is looking out at you

 Teal watched as Just Lance came over and promised her sister to keep her from harm. “ hear that Deli?” she was speaking to her frozen sister and didn’t know that her sister could actually hear her. She looked at Just Lance. “why? Why are they doing this?” She looked around and noticed Shadowed nuzzled her sister but the other didn’t move. Was she like Deli? Blinking she wasn’t sure what to do. Looking at Just Lance she motioned to the frozen sister of Shadowed. “ have there been more?” She wasn’t sure. Taking the fruit cart with her frozen sister Deli still under Mango’s blanket mostly covered. “SHADOWED.” She called out. She looked from Deli to Sapphire with the question unspoken. She stamped a hoof. “ EVERYONE CHECK PONIES AROUND YOU ANYONE FROZEN BRING HERE.” She looked to Just Lance. Could he help if they were gathered rather then spread out?

Razzle nodded to Cassiopeia about not wanting to wander to far. He could understand that and yet he was still worried about his other sister Rose Water. "Ok we will stay close to this area, but I still want to look for Rose Water" He explained and was about ready to move before the votes happened. Silver Gale was found innocent and Razzle pinned his ears feeling bad about the accusation. Maybe he could give his fellow performer a dragon fruit to say sorry later, but then again there was still a need to vote. They would not find the changelings if they just sat around not voting for anyone, but it felt like he had nothing to go on for voting. Then again he hadn't the first time and the clown performers had been so sure that Silver Gale was guilty. He turned his eyes to look at them, if they hadn't pointed it out he would have never noticed Silver Gale running away. Did that mean something? "Let's look for Rose Water, Prism,Cassiopeia. Maybe we will hear something to help us figure out whats going on." Razzle suggested before starting to move through the crowd again glancing to his sister and her friend just to make sure he didn't loose track of them in the chaos. He headed more to the middle of the crowd trying to see if Rose Water was missing among that area, but was keeping his ears perked trying to get any information that he could. [X]Natty-Chan[X] Since you said you cant post for a bit I'm just assuming you would kinda follow to keep looking for Rose Water.
