[ The red pegasus looks like she’s just barely staying awake, nodding off against her spear, but she’s just conscious enough to send out a message. ]

Would everypony… ugh, would everyone please keep an eye out for…

[ She rubs her eyes. ] Okay, I know saying “watch for something unusual” doesn’t really… work, around here. Look, it’s just that there’s a witch in the area, okay? We think its headquarters is the chair shop in the Night Market but we haven’t ever seen her.

And there’s only so much patrolling I can do at night, so… if yer on the Night Market, especially.

and private to Mami and Homura:

Keep yer soul gems handy. C’mon, why haven’t we found her yet?

[Flare's not an idiot - a bit stubborn, but not an idiot. And she's been around a lot longer than the normal teenage girl... though Kyouko might be an exception.

You've basically spelled it out to her.]

And you have faith that one couldn't fall without being seen?

Mami and Homura are fine so I dunno who it is.

[stormbroken]

Fair enough. I'm just saying that most of the "watch out from this thing from our world" warnings we've got have actually had names and faces attached to 'em.

[She's thinking of Adam and Zedd here, honestly, though Arcee's distrust of dragonsDecepticons also comes to mind.]

Unless it came from Canterlot's library before Celestia shut it down, then it's somethin' that showed up here just like any other pony did. Means you should be able to find it on the scrolls.

She's around but she's never shown her face. Wait.

[ She digs up an old post and sends Flare the link. ]

This was her.

[stormbroken]

...Oh, that one.

[Said with about as much surprise as someone showing her pictures of their cat.]

So the creepy bubblewriting is her hoofprint?

[Sue her, she doesn't know what witch glyphs look like.]

[private visual]

[kuukai]

That's her. It's runes. Ya seen it around?

[private visual]

[stormbroken]

Only there and in descriptions of that chair shop. Can you read 'em?

[private visual]

[kuukai]

Uh... yeah, some of 'em. Or I've seen 'em enough times to get parts of it.

[ She squints at the text. ] That one's pretty much reiteratin' what she says below.
