mylittlejamjar | Auf Wiedersehen, Good Night

[When the scroll flares to life this time, it's Ironclaw with a surly-looking Easy Lift at his side who are on the screen. The mare's wings have been pinned by a harness and Ironclaw has hold of a length of rope that's attached to said harness. He's keeping the mare on a tight leash, but other than looking annoyed, Easy Lift appears unharmed.]

I wished to extend a thank you and farewell to all who assisted in our efforts to retrieve our weather gem. You are friends of Griffaltar. I am leaving Ms. Lift in Equestrian custody for politicians and bureaucrats to fight out what extradition there might be. I trust she'll be enjoying a very long prison term, wherever she might end up. I-

[Easy Lift interrupts.]

They're bullies! They're liars, and they're cheats. Do you know why I stole that gem? It was to watch them twist. Griffon weather magic? You can't manage anything without the magic of the pegasi! I've heard the zebra tales, traveled to their lands. Now all of Equestria knows that griffons don't have any real magic of their own. You just play at it. And that's all you'll ever do!

[Ironclaw lets her rant, staring on passively. Clearly, he has no problem with the pegasus having her say in matters.]

This has been a very educational visit, if nothing else. We will be departing in a few hours, first to help the pegasi return Cloudsdale to its rightful place, then on to Griffaltar. For all those who helped, I trust you'll notify my government, should they come asking, that I was as recalcitrant and unhelpful as possible. I would appreciate that very much.

My officers and I will be handing back these scrolls in a little while, but we'll be available for a short while, should you wish to reach us.

[[OOC: This will be the last scroll post with the griffons. Please put the name of the griffon you'd like to talk to in the subject line if it is someone other than Ironclaw. He will be available along with Easy Lift for one last round of chatter, of course!]]

From my understanding of her, she's some monster from the future sent back to plague our times. [Thank you for the handy exposition, York. Ironclaw's passing it on.] If that's her job, I'd like a word with her superior.

Whoa! She's a time-traveler?

Maybe she's trying to change her world by changing her past!

That would seem unlikely considering the account I've heard is that she destroyed the last version of Equestria she was in. I do not think this is her world's past. Not her original world, anyway.

Wow - so she even went across dimensions, too? It sounds like something from a really good tv show!

...T-V? [You've lost him, Orihime. He's also only just beginning to grasp the concept of there being multiple Equestrias. Don't throw out words like 'dimension.' He's picturing the sizing for a box.]

Oh that's right! They don't have that here!

It's kind of like the scrolls! Except people write scripts and act out stories on it, too!

A play acted out on these scrolls, then? [He's trying to get there, Orihime, bear with a poor griffon. I know of few plays that would have some insanity like this as a plot. But truth seems stranger than fiction sometimes. [He snorts.] In any case, thank you once more for your efforts, miss. If you inquire at the Ponyville City Hall... or whatever its remains are, you should be able to receive a sum of bits for your help. There was a cash of money found within the mines by the group that apprehended Ms. Lift.

Really!? There was a reward?! How cool is that! I didn't even find the thief!

[Ironclaw snorts.] There is now. We wouldn't be able to take back all the bits that were found in that cave. And everyone who offered assistance helped to find the thief, even if they did not directly apprehend them. Enjoy your reward, miss.

Oh, geez! I can't thank you enough! This'll really help me buy more cooking ingredients!

If you want, I can send you some cupcakes to Griffaltar!

[Cooking ingredients... Well, he's not the one choosing what to spend the bits on. He does offer her another small smile, though.]

You'll have to send them along with the likes of Alastor. Cupcakes don't travel very well across oceans, in my experience.

Oh, I can ask him! I'll find out whenever he's making a trip over and send some with him!

I'm sure everyone at the station will appreciate it. [He rolls his eyes in mild amusement.] Is there anything else I can do for you, miss?

No, I think that was it!

It was nice talking to you, Detective Ironclaw!

And you, as well, miss. [The griffon bows his head before signing off.]

Wow, I realized I called Orihime 'Nephenee' up-thread. SORRY!

I saw that and thought it was cute!

Replying to too many tags at once. /covers face

It's alright! You don't want to know some of the journals I almost replied to this with.
