Knight Tyrfang wrote:"Oh, well...Um..." Tyrfang said, thinking hard. He had to think hard.
"How does one escort a criminal without handcuffs?" He thought, while looking around. "I might as well find a substitute..."
Sadly, he couldn't seem to see anything that would be sturdy enough to hold the griphon, and the longer he looked, the more embarrassed he felt.

Skarloth sighed in his head, this kid really didn't know what the heck he was doing. With a real sigh, he looked at the Guard, and spoke to him, "Look, kid, I'm only coming to the dungeon because it benefits my health, and to be honest, your argument is completely invalid," he said, glancing at the apple that he had tried to steal.
"I'll come without binds, but the next time I actually do something worthy of some real time, you better have your cuffs with you," he said, gesturing for the Guard to lead the way to the dungeon.

She blinks and looks at the griffon curiously "You...want to go to the dungeon?" she was utterly confused by the thought. {So strange...so very strange...} she sighs "Well...this, is something..."
Knight Tyrfang wrote:"Huh?" Tyrfang said, surprised. "Oh, um, okay."
"What the heck?" He thought. Willing to go to the dungeon's, without binds? Now this was probably something that never happened. For some reason, he felt as though that bringing a willing prisoner, will actually make him more of a laughing stock to all the guards, rather then bring him any respect. He could just imagine what they would say...
"What? Somepony actually wanted to go to the dungeons? Man, if that's the case, it either meant you scared the hay out of him, or you just made him laugh to death!"
"Well, he's a newbie, so there's no way it was the former! Especially at his size!"
As he trotted towards the Castle, leading the Griphon, he could feel the stares from the bystanders. The longer it took, the more shamed he felt. It was the longest walk that he had ever taken. He tried to shrink down, to avoid the stares, but it was an impossibility.

Skarloth wrote:IC Skarloth - Canterlot Marketplace - Heading to the Dungeon:
Skarloth growled to himself as he walked behind the Guard, staring the public around him down with his harsh purple eyes. Any Pony that dared look at him only got a snort and a glare before he walked passed them, and unfortunately, a lot of people were staring. They were staring mostly at Skarloth, who was a Gryphon, and not Tyrfang, who was the less-than-stereotypical Guard.
Some Guards that were nearby could be seen holding in what seemed to be... chuckles, a rare sight from professional Guardsmen. And of course, Skarloth was the villain, who was simply looked at as the rag that was being dragged to the dungeon. Skar didn't care what people thought of him, he did what needed doing to stay alive, and if that meant going to the dungeon willingly, then he didn't care.

Knight Tyrfang wrote:After enduring the stares of ponies, Tyrfang arrived at the guard, with the prisoner in tow. Actually, more like the prisoner following him. Entering the castle, he could hear the guards chuckling at him. If he didn't feel so ashamed, he would've turned around, and given them a good wing-smack. Thankfully, he knew where the dungeons where. If he had forgotten where the dungeons where, he would've quit his job as a guard right there and then, and just sleep on a cloud for the rest of his life.
"Being a guard's cool and all, but I've messed up so badly already...And on my first day, no less." Tyrfaang mumbled. "Hopefully, whatever Cutie Mark I get will help me with my guarding abilities..."
So he descended into the dungeon, checking behind him once in a while to check if the prisoner was still following him. The sight that met him surprised him. The dungeons were surprisingly clean, with carpeting on the ground, and the walls clean. There was no mildew, nor any mold at all. There were even a few cushioned stools in the cells. The bars were even gleaming, like they've been polished quite alot. It was even lit brightly, by fairy lights.
"Well...This wasn't what I was expecting..." thought Tyrfang. He expected it to be dark, and and gloomy, and dank, and everything else about a dungeon that made it horrible. Un-surprising to him though, there were very few ponies behind the cells. It was pretty peaceful around Canterlot, and people were [i]usually[i] very law-abiding.
"I swear to Celestia, if they serve gourmet foods here..." Thought Tyrfang. "How the heck is any pony supposed to be disciplined in somewhere as comfortable as this! Heck, it's better than my house!"
odarien wrote:Sighs to herself as they enter the palace she knows she can't gain entrance so she mills about outside thinking to herself. She had lost track of that clumsy guard. Sighing again she starts to pace consumed by boredom. Glancing around she heads over to an allyway and begins to wander around the nearby area making sure to keep on eye on the gates to see if anything interesting happens.
Skarloth wrote:IC Skarloth - Canterlot Dungeon - Talking to Tyrfang:
Skarloth stared at Tyrfang oddly, and then nearly burst out laughing, but held in his laugh with a firm talon to the mouth. Once he calmed himself down, he spoke to the Pony, "You don't even have your Cutie Mark yet!?" he shouted, trying to contain his laughter hopelessly as he realized how much of a goof up this guy really was.
Now wait a second, back it up, most Ponies got their marks in their fillyhood, and here this guy was, fully grown, and his was nowhere to be seen. "Did you even try to get your mark?" he asked, glad that he had never been cursed with such a mark on himself.

Knight Tyrfang wrote:"Oh great...even the prisoner's laughing at me now..." thought Tyrfang, getting angry. It was enough that everyone else was laughing at him, but now even the prisoner too?
"Sh-shut up. It doesn't mean anything, if I have a cutie mark, or not." He said, irritated. "As long as I'm a good guard, It means nothing..."
He then went pensive. "Come to think of it, did I even try to get my cutie mark?" he mumbled. "I was always obsessed about being a guard, I never even gave it some thought..."
He shook his head. "Gah, never mind. As I said, it doesn't matter. Now get in your dang cell already, And I'll go get the jail-keeper. That is, if we even have a jail-keeper. It'd probably be the maid, or something..."
So Tyrfang went to go find the Jail-keeper. Thankfully, there actually was a jail keeper, and not a maid. He came down, and after seeing the guard wasn't handcuffed, gave him a weird look.
"So, how'd you catch this one?" He asked.
"Well...he seemed to want to go to jail..." Tyrfang mumbled, his face turning red again.
Like the other guards, a smirk played on the guard's face. "Alrighty then, into the cell you go."
Skarloth wrote:IC Skarloth - Canterlot Dungeons - Talking to Tyrfang:
Skar nodded, he knew the drill, so he walked into the cell, looking up and down the walls with a grin on his face. "It's beautiful, I'll take it," he said, as if he were buying a house. Which wasn't that far of a stretch, actually...
"And about your lack of a Cutie Mark," he said, embarrassing right in front of the jail keeper, "You'll get it some day, I'm sure. Maybe it'll be a helmet like you're wearing, or something. Anyhow, it's been fun, but," he said, yawning and stretching his arms as he laid down on the rather comfortable bed, "I think I'm going to take a nap now," the Gryphon said, laying his head down, and closing his eyes, a huge grin on his face.
OOC: Hehehehe.

Knight Tyrfang wrote:Again, Tyrfang's face flushed red. Both from a combination of embarrassment, and rage. He would've wing-smacked the gryphon, but he was now safe behind bars.
"So...what was he arrested for?" The jail-keeper asked, looking at him.
"...stealing an apple." grumbled Tyrfang.
The Jail-keeper ended up bursting out in laughter. "Just for THAT! Fine, fine, you seemed so proud of you catch, I might as well leave him in there for a few hours. Lucky for him, he get's a free meal. Let me go get dinner."
Tyrfang ignored him, and stormed up stairs, grumbling indistinguishably about cutie marks, and gryphons, and beating the next criminal into submission. He then stopped by the guard's office to pick up the rest of his stuff, and ignore the officer on duty's snickering.
"Argh, this day can't be any worse..." Tyrfang mumbled, as he was leaving the castle. He was about to fly off to a comfy looking cloud, to sleep it all off. Then, he noticed a familiar unicorn pacing back and forth in front of the door.
"Hey! It's that unicorn again!" He said, surprised. "What're you doing at the castle? You got buisness here?"
odarien wrote:Jumps a little bit and turns her bow swinging around. "Oh...Ah...I...well...not really no..." she looks at the guard pony curiously for a few seconds. "Is the griffon in the dungeon now?" she asks curiously trotting over. Her ice blue eyes appraising the guardpony in front of her. "I, have nothing to do really...I have been following you around..." she tips her head slightly to the side. "I find you...interesting that's all..."
She looks away and back up to the castle "So...what is it like...being in the castle...with the princesses..."
Knight Tyrfang wrote:"Eh? Following me around?" Tyrfang thought, surprised. "Now that I think of it, I do remember seeing her around quite often. That's...pretty weird. But not as weird as that gryphon...sheesh."
"O-okay..." Tyrfang said, looking at the unicorn like she was strange. "The gryphon's in the dungeon now, but he's gonna be enjoying it in there , instead of learning a lesson..."
He then pawed at the ground sheepishly with his front hoof. "And about the castle...I haven't actually been around it that often... I'm just a rookie, and I've only been in there once for orientation, for the important areas of the castle, it's usually up to the unicorn guards."
Suddenly, he swore that in the glint of the sun, he saw wings on her. Tyrfang blinked a few times, and rubbed his eyes. "Must've been a trick of my eyes...Boy, I must be really tired..." muttered Tyrfang. "Anyways, what was the real reason for following me? There's no way that I'm that interesting to be followed."
odarien wrote:Nods slowly "I see, I did not mean to disturb you, I was mearly curious..." she looks back up at the castle for a little bit. "Just a rookie?...I see that explains some things..." she looks back down with her ice blue eyes. "I always wanted to see them...they are a...role model of sorts to me."
She blinks a few times at his last question and the strage look he was giving her. "Trick of your eyes..." she shakes her head not knowing what he was talking about. "You seemed to be in a hurry somewhere when I spotted you...I thought it would be interesting to see what you were up too." She coughs and looks away. "I, was not really disappointed..."
Knight Tyrfang wrote:"Huh, Role models, eh? Well, I could see that, seeing as they move the bucking moon and sun every day." Tyrfang said, looking skyward. "They are the most magical beings, after all."
Tyrfang then brings his eyes back down to earth. And stares her down. "Hmm...I wonder, by interest, does she mean...that kind of interest? Nah, no way. I'm just a goof-ball." He thought. "Though, that would be nice..."
"Since you've been following me around all day, you might as well tell me your name." Tyrfang said.
odarien wrote:Nods "yeah, they are..." she looks at the guard curiously "My name...It's Spirit Wind...It is nice to meet you." she gives a small bow and looks at the castle again as if entranced. "May I ask yours? Unprepared Guard doesn't really suit you." she laughs though it seems a little forced. "I trust next time...you wish to capture a apple thief you will bring something to chain the prisoner with."
Knight Tyrfang wrote:"Erm...yeah, I hope so..." Tyrfang said, embarrassed. It felt as though everypony was laughing at him today. "...The name's Tyrfang. It's nice to meet you Spirit, that is...May I call you Spirit?"
odarien wrote:Nods "sure you may call me spirit Tyrfang." she looks at the guard pony curiously again "At least you will know tomorrow, I hope you will catch more ...criminals..." she sighs and shuffles a little "So...you are to return to your duties as a guard? inside the castle?" she asks in a slightly hopeful tone. "I would...very much like to see the castles interior"
Knight Tyrfang wrote:Tyrfang bit his lip. "Well...I was planning on napping for the rest of the day..."
He thought a bit. "Well, I think I will sleep, I'm too tired after all that dung today... but I'll try to get special permission from one of the guards to let you in for the day."
He then went up to one of the guards.
"A guest? Well, I guess It wouldn't hurt...At least let them wear a badge, or something that'll show us that they're trustworthy..."
"A-a badge?" Tyrfang said. He had nothing on him that he really could show that was good. He then realized he was wearing something on his head that could work. "Does my helmet work?"
The guard shrugged. "Yeah, why not. I'll go send a message to the rest of the guards. But if she causes any trouble, it'll be your hide that get's flayed."
Walking back to Spirit, he took his helmet on, and plopped it upon her head. It didn't really look that comfortable, since there was no hole for the horn to stick out. "Here, wear this. The guard's will let you wander about most of the castle with it on. Who knows, you might even see the the princess."
He yawned, and rubbed his eyes sleepily. "Well, I'll leave you to it. Just...make sure you return it to me, okay?"
Tyrfang then flew off to the fluffiest cloud he could find. He landded upon it, and spread his limbs across it, and fell asleep almost immediately.

A loud, cackling voice echoed through the dungeon halls.
"Wait one moment officer! No one has told me yet WHY I'm being thrown in here! I can't think of a SINGLE THING illegal I've done recently! There must be some mistake!"
A low, booming voice answered back.
"I suppose you've erased from your memory how you JUST stole some poor old ponies purse, took the money out of it, and then proceeded to hit her with it repeatedly."
"Is that all? Fah. You guards will arrest someone for ANYTHING these days."
A large heavily armored guard walked around the corner to the cell block, with a purple, thin, wild-eyed Gryphon in tow. He opened up one of the cells and tossed the gryphon inside.
"Now, I want you to SHUT UP. Or I swear to Celestia I WILL buck your head clean off!"
"What a hostile working environment." the gryphon, Snaggle Tooth by name, chuckled. "Would you tell the warden to put some more lights in here? It's so drab and dull."
The guard slammed the gate, walking away muttering something under his breath.
Snaggle Tooth took in the surroundings of his meager cell, nodding in approval. Then he turned and started eyeing his cellmates. When he looked into the cell across from his, his eyes lit up in an unsettling way.
"Skarloth! You crazy son of a buffalo! Long time no see!"
Skarloth wrote:IC Skarloth - Canterlot Dungeons - Talking to Snaggle:
One purple eye on the head of the black Gryphon suddenly opened, looking around in his cell, and then glancing over at the cell across from his. He rolled his eye when he saw Snaggle Tooth's form, and the crazy look in his eyes, getting up off the bed and rubbing his eyes to get a better look at the Gryphon. "Is that you, Snagg?" he asked, looking the Gryphon up and down, and trying to remember what he looked like the last time he saw him.
Well, not a lot changed. He was still thin, still had that crazy look in his eyes, but this time he was behind bars. Who would've guessed that of all people, Snaggle would be here today.

She blinks a few times and heads off into the place through the guards eager to explore the castle. She passes through the gardens and into the main hall examining all the tapestries.

DistractedPony wrote:IC Castle Gardens - Infront of Spirit Wind
With a crack a window two storeys above the unicorn shattered into a plume of glass as a figure comes leaping out, an object held in mouth. As he sailed down through the air, he seemed truely graceful, up until he landed in a scraggly tumbling heap on the ground, rolled to a stop, and spat out a golden necklace.
"Ooow...", he said, rising to sit on his flank, raising a hoof to his head. "I coulda sworn I was on the first floor." Then he noticed the pony nearby. "Uh, crazy weather we're having, huh?"
"Hey you!" Boomed a voice from above, as two guard ponies stuck their heads out the window. "Halt right there!"
Sitting amidst what was once a window, he looked up at them. "Sure, thing. I'll do that just as soon as I get the hoof outta here!" He turned to the unicorn. "Nice to meet ya lady, love to stay and chat, but I'm real busy right now. Names Blaze and I gotta blaze outta here."
Snatching the necklace up, he broke into a gallop, his legs rapidly eating up the distance to the main gate.
OOC: Your call whether you want to get involved, either helping or hindering.

Suddenly lightning bursts from a confined sphere and a purple pegasus with a fedora is suddenly lying on the ground. Weakly he says "I-I'm alive?" and falls unconscious, unaware of the pony running towards his direction.

Looks up at the sound of shattering glass and takes a few steps back as a pony lands nearby. Blinking a few times she stares slightly confused by this new pony in front of her. "Sure...strange weather." {The weather is not strange it's just him jumping from a window...} She watches the pony as he takes off away from the guards. {Interesting...No sign of the princesses...might as well follow.} She breaks out into a quick gallop chasing after this new strange pony. Her horn glows softly and a veil of mist forms around the gate attempting to obscure the guards vision to aid in their escape. {Am I breaking the law too? A question for later perhaps, these canterlot ponies are strange, guards without gear and now ponies who leap from tall windows.} Approaching the gate she looks at the escaping pony curiously wondering what he will do next when a purple pony appears in front of them she slows somewhat. {I could lift him with air and levitation but that would destroy the veil over the gate can't leave him either.} her horn glows and a blast of wind blows as she tries to get him to fly into the air and onto her back.

Was that a fedora?
Shaking his head, Blaze suddenly considered if the pony was hurt. But if I stop... I'm sure the castle will care for him. Right?
Looking back, he saw the green unicorn attempting to hoist the purple fedora wearing pony. The unicorn also seemed to be following him. Unsure of what to make of the scene, he decided to worry about it when all of canterlot wasn't after his flank.
Reaching the gate, Blaze paused, ready to dodge a pouncing guard, but they seemed completely oblivious. Confused but not questioning the sudden good luck, Blaze bolted out the gate and into the streets of Canterlot proper. Grinning to himself, he turned towards a street that would soon become a hill, he'd left a wagon there, ready to coast his way to freedom.

"Greetings...you seemed interesting so I followed you." she says in a matter of fact tone. "I am curious as to why you desired that necklace so much." Blinking a few times but her eyes not leaving the other ponies.
