Dimensional Crossing: Sunset

Wyvorn just shrugged and continued following the yellow mare, interested how the guards didn't react to any single one of them. "So I guess the palace is just.. open here..." he thought as he continued following, until they came to a terminal. He patiently waited for Sunny to use it like she wanted to before making her way... somewhere. "Well, might aswell just follow and stay silent. Don't want anything wrong to come out of my beak after all."

Neon sped up a little to trot by Sunshine, and whispered. "Hey, is it bad if I brought my spear and shield? They're in my storage spell, ya think they'll find out?" She asks, looking worried, thinking of them trying to take her gear. "I hope you know that I'll gut them if they touch my stuff, okay?" She said simply, then fell back a bit, walking by Clockwork. "Hullo, Clockwork, right?" She asks, smiling. "So, err, you as nervous as I am? Coz this glowy stuff is getting a bit weird. Outfits, cool. Everything else...odd."

"Oh, Lemon Drop. Wow, just her name brings back memories." Wild Card responded cheerfully, thinking back to how Lemon was basically foal-sitting Night Rose every now and then for Strawberry. "Yeah, can't wait to see her again." He finished happily, trotting alongside Sunny and into Canterlot Palace, looking around at the vast, shining scenery everywhere.

As Sunny got to the terminal, Wild merely waited behind her, keeping an eye out if anything seemed to be coming towards them with hostile intent. He backed away from Flail as he transformed, shuddering slightly and then looking unnerved by his imitation of a guard. Taking his eyes off the changeling, he looked around the group for somepony less threatening to him. Hearing Neon talking to Clockwork, he smiled at what the mare said and walked closer to them. "Yeah, feeling nervous is pretty normal I think. Hay, you're in a different dimension. Of course it's gonna weird you out first trip, but you'll get used to it." Wild said to reassure them, before chuckling lightly. "And those outfits you think are cool. Well Sunshine did pay for them, so technically they are yours to keep forever." He said, hoping to make Neon - and potentially Clockwork - less nervous with a little lighthearted conversation.

Sunny looked at the changed Flail and gave a nod. “Seems legit, but you might want to hold off on that for a bit. We gotta see exactly what we’re up against.” She continued leading them down the hall to a spiral staircase. Standing by it was a guard flirting with one of the palace maids. The guard wore the traditional armor worn by most Royal Guards no matter what dimension she was in. She turned back to Flail. “Okay, you can see the armor, so you know what it looks like, which is most likely no different than the guards you’re used to seeing. I swear Celestia is way too traditionalist sometimes.” She said to him, then addressed the others quietly. “So we’re gonna have to sneak around that very distracted guard, head up those stairs, and when we’re at the top, I’m gonna have Strawberry unleash the distraction. From there, I hope you brought your best set of legs.”

She suppressed a chuckle at the guard for being so distracted as she slinked behind him and up the stairs. If the maid noticed her, she didn’t care. The guard was so oblivious a train could crash right behind him and he wouldn’t notice. Sunny waved at the others with a wing to follow her example and continued up the stairs.

Flail nodded and the armor appeared, being made of chitin it was rather protective, but colored in the most horrid of ways: Gold. In a very guard like voice he shudder, "Ugh... I hate gold... Anyway, I suppose I'm now the 'escort' of us now Eh?" He chuckled and began following after Sunshine, trying his attempts at the guards signature stoic face. And failing miserably. He found it odd that he was having a bit of fun in such a serious, and sneak situation. Chastising to himself he began making his appearance more guard like, fitting better into the armor, and giving himself a bulkier build, a changelings way of saying he's "tweaking" his outfit. As he concentrated unbeknownst to him, he had perfectly mimicked the guards expression.

Neon followed Flail and Sunshine, not being able to help herself and making a face and sticking her tongue out at the guard's back before hurrying to catch up with them, grinning lightly and looking around with a curious expression. "Never been in a castle before." She said boredly. "Not that impressive, but hey, I don't know much, do I?" She said lightly. "And about 'best set of legs', well, I can teleport around as well as run." She smiled, but did not seem so serious.

Wyvorn blinked at the distracted guard before sneaking behind him to get to Sunny, noticing Neon making a rude expression at the distracted guard. "So much for security.." he whispered as he looked back at the guard, still trying to get some fun with the maid. He noticed the changeling take the complete looks of a guard, to which he snickered. "At least you'll look the part..." he said before sighing at Neon's comment. "Yeah... not a great fan of castles either."
