Ranger Key 1: Searching [Action]

[sumofallreds]

[If you're taking a stroll, or doing business in Ponyville today, you might spot a new face. There's a red Pegasus with a spectacular coat, roaming the streets. He's even got a treasure chest on his back, being held onto by a piece of rope that looks like it's been torn off of something. Occasionally, he'll stop by a building, and take a look into the window for a few seconds, before snorting and walking off again. Depending on when you see him in the day, he'll look either determined (early on in the day), or kinda ticked off (much later). If it's the second, he's going to be muttering to himself. You might be able to pick up the following words or phrases.]

Stupid horse body.

Zemekis...are you alive somehow?

Damn...where are you? Are you even here?

[He's in a a pretty foul mood all in all, so be cautious when you approach him. ]

Pretty heavy stuff. What's the trouble?

[Re: should he care?]

[magicalrealist]

Griffons suspect ponies stole an important item from them, so they tried to balance things by stealing one of our cities. As in literally stealing the city itself. Ako's helping to find their item so we can get our city back.

(Translation: probably not in Marvy's interest.)

[sumofallreds]

.......They have a very strange definition of 'balance'.

Well...as long as Ako doesn't get hurt...none of my business. Though, when I find her, I'll have to see what she's exactly been doing.

[magicalrealist]

I'll be sure to let her know you're looking for her.

My name is Twilight Sparkle.

[sumofallreds]

Great. That'll help a lot.

Nice ta meetcha Twilight. Name's Marvelous.

[magicalrealist]

It's a pleasure to meet you.

If you'd like to stay out of the griffon debacle, you're welcome to stay at the Commune or the Night market. Many of the offworlders stay at the Commune and the Night Market is a neutral ground for everyone to enjoy.

[sumofallreds]

There's that commune again. Guy named Minato mentioned it. Must've gotten turned around at some point looking for it.

[magicalrealist]

I can take you there, if you'd like.

[sumofallreds]

Thanks for the offer, but I think I'll be fine enough on my own. Besides, I might find somewhere to eat in the meantime.

[magicalrealist]

Alright. If you need anything, you can contact me via the scrolls. You had one with you when you woke up here, right?

[sumofallreds]

Huh. So that's what that was for. Thought someone just dropped me a note.

Got it.

[magicalrealist]

That's your communication tool for Equestria. It's capable of visual, audio and text, each of which can be privately locked to specific individuals. Think Mayfield's phones, but better.

[sumofallreds]

Visual would definitely help a good deal. Same with the audio. It'd help not to have wires crossed.

Are they one time only, or multi-use? I mean..it is paper, magic-sounding or not.
