[ 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?

Uh...you sure it's not just somepony brewing up some medicine?

[Because she remembers the town panic over Zecora far too well. That's what witch means, right?]

[kingofthetvworld]

[The idea of witches being in town and turning everyone into frogs is absolutely horrifying and he's sure to have a good cry about it later, but first things first.]

Don't you think you should take a nap...?

[kuukai]

It en't a pony. Not exactly.

[Visual]

[kuukai]

'm fine.

[ She is exhausted. She hits herself in the head a couple times to wake up. ] I can take it.

I've been trying to scout the shop, but nothing's come up. My Soul Gem reacts but I can't seem to find much happening.

[Lying liar.]

[Visual]

[kingofthetvworld]

[For some strange reason he finds himself doubtful.]

You don't look fine. That witch could eat you if you fell asleep in the middle of a battle.

[kuukai]

its a dead zone.

but its the only lead ive got

[Visual]

[kuukai]

Damn soul gem... I should be fine.

[ She shakes it angrily. ] C'mon, work...

[Visual]

[kingofthetvworld]

[Oh, um, hm...]

Uh... what's a soul gem?

[Visual]

[kuukai]

Supposed to heal. [ She holds it up. ]

Piece o' horseapples here, though, I guess. [ Her head droops tiredly. ]

[visual]

[sailorlaughter]

Heeeeey! Don't talk about the chair shop like that!

[Pinkie glances out the window, before cupping her hooves around her mouth to whisper to the scroll:]

It's a nice shop, it's just really really shy!

[Visual]

[kingofthetvworld]

[Goodness, it's lovely! Teddie's almost jealous. He'll have to ask for one later, though, because he finds himself perking up.]

Oh! Oh! Why didn't you just say so? I can totally heal you! ...Er, if you want.

[weekwizard]

A witch? What is dangerous about a witch? Surely there are more pressing things to look for.

[visual]

[kuukai]

There's... energies around it.

Jeez, it's not like it's the shop's fault... [ I mean, what? ]

[Visual]

[kuukai]

You... what?

[ Kyouko looks back up at him with bloodshot eyes. ] ... Yeah... okay. [ Wow, the tiredness is really hitting her like a bag full of bricks now. ] 'm at... the market.

[kuukai]

Important like what exactly? Do ya want a destructive force loose in Ponyville?

[text][private]

[bornoflove]

I know.

Ms. Sakura, I wanted to ask, since we never got around to talking about it. What exactly are Witches? Are they anything like the Wraiths where I come from? Or something else entirely?

[text][private]

[kuukai]

they're a little like wraiths and they're a little different too. i don't think youre gonna like the answer.

[visual]

[sailorlaughter]

Yeah! Some shops are just a little different! And that's okay!

[Wait what this is probably not Moral of the Week time...]

[weekwizard]

We have roughly a hundred of those loose at the moment, last I checked.

[Visual > Action]

[kingofthetvworld]

Alrighty, I'll be there in a jiffy! Just don't go anywhere.

[Not that he's really worried about that, what with the state she's in.

He rolls up the scroll and in about a jiffy or two, Teddie's running into the market on all fours, looking out for Kyouko. He probably should've asked where she was in the market...]

[text][private]

[bornoflove]

[There's a bit of a pause before she responds.]

Is it really that bad? The answer?

[kuukai]

Fine.

If ya must know, I don't think she'll destroy Ponyville. She's just been a nuisance. I'm just worried about her is all.

[ Looks away, and picks up an apple to bite into. ]

[kuukai]

y

mami didn't take it well anyway.

rather do this in person

[text][private]

[bornoflove]

I understand. At some point, we'll need to talk about it, then.
