"He, he you are funny ponies. Ginger likes you. Maybe she will help you, maybe she will not," she says giggling.

Lunis circled around ginger totally fascinated he noted that not all anamtronics are aggressive

"I hope you will" I said with a smile "You're a nice mare Ginger, has anypony told you that? Because its true, you've been nice to us so far and I remember partying with you when this place opened"

Gary Sparkle bump to Echo.

"Eep!" Echo shouted, as he rocketed towards the ceiling. As he did, his wings, barely visible in the darkness, began to take on a more batlike quality than any 'normal' Pegasi had ever been seen with. "Please don't startle me like that!"

"sorry"Gary Sparkle said.

Its okay.Spike said

"hello Spike"Gary Sparkle said

So your new here

Ginger nervously rakes the ground with her steel hooves. She paces around for several minutes. Then after a couple breaths she speaks.

"Hmm, maybe we will play with you later. Right now you are looking for something. Answers, you seek answers," she says walking around them.

"That is correct is there any place you recommend to check anything you can tell us?" Lungs said in extreme curiosity

"Yes... that's the reason why we're here." Echo said as he landed, tucking his now batlike wings by his side, unaware if anyone noticed. He moved closer towards the animatronic, still cautious of it, but trying to be at least a bit trusting.

"Yes, we want to know what happened here, our friend has been arrested for murders she didn't do" I explained

"your friend arrested?"Gary Sparkle shocked,he know happen.

Ginger trots around the group for a little bit before replying. Her eyes glint in the light as she look at them. Swishing her mane and tail, the earth pony mare speaks.

"Answers must be sought and discovered, not given. Though I can give you a hints every now and then. That way we can play together. Alright, hmm... Ah, ha got it. He, who dwells in this world, without a say, follow his steps and he will show the way." With that riddle said, Ginger vanishes.

Echo looked surprised as he watched the animatronic run off, before turning to the others. "Huh... I, uh... didn't expect her to be such a friendly fellow, but someone that lives here unwillingly... that sounds like Astrello!" he said, his face lighting up with clarity, before his eyes went wide and his cheeks turned bright red. "Um... sorry, I really didn't mean to rhyme... but we should go back to him and, well, make the most of our time. GAH!"

"Ginger has always been nice, she loves having company" I said "Lives in this world without a say... I'm not sure if it is Astrello, he loves being alive... Just not in this building..."

"Huh... I'd taken it to mean someone that dwells here specifically, rather than dwelling on this world, but that's an interesting way of looking at it as well..." Echo said, scratching his chin with his hoof. "Any ideas on who that could be, then?"

Gary Sparkle patting on Echo's back."be careful there"he said.

"Lets look at what we know, whoever did it was able to frame Pinkie Pie and hates living in this world, is there somepony that looks like Pinkie, but has the opposite personality?" I asked

Gary Sparkle run toward to Austin.

6:00 A.M. The group has survived their first night at Partyania, however they are no closer to solving the case, than they were before. Time is running out. Pinkie Pie is scheduled to be banished or even executed in a matter of four days. Four days to find out, who is the murderer, why and how did they do it. If not, then Pinkie Pie is doomed.

"6:00 A.M at least we won't get jumped now but we barely put a scratch on this case...i'm going to listen to the tapes for anything to give a hint." And Lunis rushed off into the office

"Ok, but I have a feeling Pinkie needs some support, Echo, you try and figure out what Ginger meant, I'm going to visit Pinkie" I said

"hey Spike"Gary Sparkle said.

"It's 6 AM already?" Echo said, as he looked around at the brightening lights."Man, I thought that would feel longer. That is, unless I blacked out- did I black out? Anyways... I'll go with you... I'd like someone to bounce ideas off of, and we might be able to get some clarity from Pinkie Pie. Anything's worth a try, really."

YES!!!!!!!!! spike said jumping up and down,its 6 am

"No, I need you to stay here to find out whatever you can" I said to Echo before walking to the door to exit the building

"B-but... but..." Echo stuttered, before uttering an aggravated sigh. "At least ask her what she thinks of the riddle... I'll see what I can do here."

"are you there,Echo?"Gary Sparkle said.

Lungs quickly flew up to Austin and handed a tape "If your going to see Pinkie ask her about tapes it's just a guess that it might give us clues now you better get going." He said and went back in building going right up to Echo and Gary "I didn't get to search the backstage much you two want to help?"

"Um, yeah, I'd be happy to!" Echo said, as he smiled awkwardly at Lunis.

I took the tape and headed to where Pinkie was being held "I'm here to see Pinkie" I said to the guards

They wont let us.spike said

The armed guards around the prison, salute as Lightfoot returns from an errand. Seeing that there are ponies here to see, the prisoner, he nods to the guards, who step back and allow entry. Rainbow Dash is already there sitting in a chair outside of the cell of Pinkie Pie. Her hooves are clutching the bars of the cell that stands between her and Pinkie Pie.

I walk over to the cell "Hello Pinkie" I said as I wanted to hug Pinkie, but I knew I could get in trouble "I had a question, is there someone that looks just like you, but acts completely different?"

Meanwhile Lunis beings his search again backstage he pulls out two crates one brownish wood other silver metal and calls for Echo "Ok um Echo can you just look through these crates see if anything else is in there I just needed to pull out the rest that is all." Lunis then went to pull out more but he felt something wrong he looked back at the endoskeleton from last night something about it change... does not matter he kept removing crates out of the dark.

"I been looking you"Gary Sparkle said to Lunis.

Echo nodded, as he got to work on opening on of the crates, as he talked to the others. "Hmm... 'He, who dwells in this world, without a say...' what do you guys think of that?"

"go on,open crates now"Gary Sparkle said Echo.

Tears stream down the rainbow maned pegasus mare's face as she gazes into the darkness at Pinkie Pie. She is worried about her dear friend, but wants to be there for her anyway. After saying a few more things to her, Rainbow Dash, dries her tears with a hoof and stands up.

"Well, I need to go, Pinkie Pie. Be strong for us. Have faith in our friends, especially Astrello, he's got us out of hard place before. Goodbye, Pinkie. We love you," she says waving as she rejoins Twilight and the others, before heading home again.

Pinkie Pie hears Austin and steps a little further into the light. Was there someone like her that could have done it? The only pony that was like her, was part of her, a side she kept hidden, only letting her out in the most dire of circumstances. Her name are Pinkamenia and she was not some pony to tangle with. Shaking her head, the pink pony speaks.

"No, there is not, sorry. You should all return back to Partyania. There is not much time. Have you gotten any leads, yet," she says, hopefully.

"Well, one of the ponytronics said something about someone being on this planet, but against their will" I said

Pinkie shakes her head when you tell her about the riddle. She thinks you are overthinking. A small smile forms on her face as she speaks again.

"Tell me this riddle that Ginger told you. I think you are overthinking it. So please, relay this riddle to me," she says.

"He, who dwells in this world, without a say, follow his steps and he will show the way." I said "I was thinking it was someone that hates life"

Pinkie Pie laughs as she hears this riddle. It is obvious what it means if you put it into context. What were they trying to solve?

"Silly, that one is easy peasy. Think about the context and its simple. He, who dwells in "This" world, without a say, follow his steps and he will show you the way. Now, who is trapped in a world that they cannot escape? Once you figure out that, there's your answer, she says. Now you'd all better go, visiting time is just about over," Pinkie Pie says sadly, stepping back into the darkness and sitting down against the wall.

Meanwhile back in Partyania, screams echo from within the building. Those screams are coming from me. After the others left, I suddenly vanished and now, "They" have found me again. A terrifying game of hide and seek begins.

"Ok Pinkie, just stay hopeful" I said before running back to Partyania

((Sorry if I haven't posted for a while, but I'm still waiting for a response.))

I got a bad feeling about this.Spike said.


Sorry for not being active in the role play.

(Surprised this is still going)

"Still nothing I guess." As Lunis pushed away another crate unlucky for him a crate tip over and onto his back crushing him into the floor he sighed

Gary Sparkle follow Austin."...wait for me"he said.
