Everfree Tales

Kerrigan's eyebrow raised. Alicia was never this... quiet. She seemed worried, almost scared . Maybe she knew something that nopony else was ware of. Kerrigan took the bag and carefully undid the staple and opened it, reviewing the contents. A selection of dried herbs, a bottle of calamine, and glov...

Kerrigan collapsed in her office chair, feeling genuinely fatigued for the first time she could remember. There was still so much to do... the Board would need to be informed, Campus Police would need to collect everything Kerrigan had found, the frat house was no doubt still under lockdown and they...

Iron was almost skipping when he got back to his office- though seeing a new teletype sitting there gave him mixed feelings. On the one hoof, it meant getting out of the city and back in the field. Which was also the downside. Then again, it gave him a chance to try out his newest toy. Technically, ...

"I would have accepted a mere verbal account, but I do appreciate your attention to detail," Kerrigan said, impressed despite herself. "That will be sufficient, I think, to begin with. For now, though, it is more important that you rest. If you will excuse me," Kerrigan said, sh...

Kerrigan rubbed the encroaching fatigue out of her eyes with one hand, while recording Static's statement with the other. "There will be time for the details later- I am not certain as to when exactly, as something of this scope has never happened before. I will need to consult with the Board t...

Iron looked at the shiny medal sitting on his desk with some disbelief. It seemed so bizarre that after taking out an Elder, and handing a turncoat Elder to the princesses as a new ally, and spending months working behind enemy lines, he'd get a shiny trinket and a promotion, and find himself back i...

Valence had been busier in the last few months that she could ever remember in all her life. the military had been thrilled with the efficacy of her thermite weapon, though they wanted a more reliable one. she'd put in a lot of time in the lab, and as a result missed a lot of time with Nova and Onyx...

Steel looked over the latest reports of their deployment in Cloudsdale. Despite how high the profits were, Steel was not feeling particularly jolly. He'd left Firesong at that school near Canterlot, and though they had parted amicably, it still made him feel smaller somehow. Like part of the family ...

Nova squealed in delight as she ran into the room full of kittens. She swatted a feathery toy at them and cuddled them and giggled like a toddler the entire time at their various tiny kitten antics. Her favorite was a little tortoiseshell kitty, who had figured out how to attack the feather from ato...

"Oh, this'll be so much fun! Puppies and kitties and maybe ferrets, little cute cuddly fuzzy things! It'll be awesome!" Nova said, practically bouncing. "So, if you get a kitty, all you will really need is a litter box, a scratchy post, and some dangly toys. Oh, and a collar with a l...

"I appreciate the effort miss Shock," Kerrigan said. "However, I do not wish to teleport miss Serenade again, she does not take well to it. And I cannot leave her outside, in case they come back," Kerrigan said, grabbing the door handle and stepping inside. The extent of Static'...

"Good," Kerrigan said, nodding approvingly. "It is most fortuitous that Dr. Heart happened to be visiting today, it seems. If she was involved, I have no doubt he will be just fine. We will check on his condition after we see where you found him- I don't want to leave miss Shock ther...

"Buh!" Rose exclaimed when Double spoke. Not that she wasn't happy to see him, but she had not expected it at this hour. Or this close to her dorm, for that matter. "I mean, hi! And er, uh... you know, I'll just sorta step out of the way," she said, sidling back into the room so...

Kerrigan materialized in front of her office a moment after hanging up the phone, and with the help of her tail unlocked the door and hurried Serenade into the office. She opened a few desk drawers and withdrew a camera and a voice recorder, and set both on the desk. "I apologize if I came acro...

Kerrigan's face was usually an expressionless mask, impossible to decipher for all but the most learned of ponies who had known her for many, many years. It was a point of pride for her, a skill that she had spent most of her career encouraging others to pursue. For if nopony can guess how you feel,...

Of course, no sooner had Kerrigan finished talking than her phone began to ring. She sighed and rolled her eyes. "If you'll pardon me a moment," she said, giving Longshot a nod, before exiting the room, somewhat quickly. Once clear, she answered the call, mere moments before it would have ...

Rose was not a particularly elegant sleeper, and blearily stumbled into consciousness in a pile of limbs, her hair stuck to the side of her face. Memories of the previous evening bounced around in her recollection. Mostly fond memories, though the part where Tiny came back and found her and Double a...

Kerrigan arrived at the sleep lab a few minutes early, and stood in the lobby waiting for the clock to count down to the prearranged hour- at which point she knocked smartly on the door, only entering after being given permission. "Good morning, Longshot. I hope you slept well. How are you feel...

" Aheh, no, no ulterior motive, I assure you. Though, I'll admit, even if I'm not attracted to you, I'm flattered that you'd hit on me, it's certainly an ego boost. I'm not above flirting with the ladies, even though it's not going anywhere. " he scuffs the ground with his toe, " I'm...

Ah. Hell's bells, it's not... I... You're a... A girl." he blushes, "sorry, not like you hadn't noticed, I'm sure, but, see, I'm not particularly into girls." he pauses, fight or flight warring in his head with a desire to meet new people, "so, yeah. Super stereotype, here, heh....
