Ember flinched slightly at Kail's touch, but then relaxed, feeling a flush of gratitude towards the Pegasus. She hadn't been touched in this way since....since...her parents died. Ember felt exhausted both physically and emotionally. Today had been a long day of many new experiences, and new ponies. It was odd, normally she would have just let Geoff walk away, but today was different. What had made her start this adventure? Loneliness? It was mystifying to her. Maybe she saw something in him....someone...but who? Then she realized...he reminded her of her father! She held back a gasp of realization. No wonder she had been so willing to speak with him... "Yes, rest and food sounds wonderful..." She said tiredly, her eyes looking glazed like young filly that was ready for bed.

[Sorry guys, looong week at school]
Geoff took this as his cue. He was glad that thanks to Kail's help it had been resolved without too much difficulty. He should've done more to help, but that point is moot.
"All right. I think we've all had a relatively long day. And I think right now we just need some food. And sleep, but mostly food. Come on." He nodded in the general direction of Kai's home and started walking towards there.
A few minutes of walking later, they reached the portal to Kai's house.
And then Geoff blanched. "How do I get in again..." he muttered to himself

TIMING!]

[We're waiting for Kai to show up, but he's waiting for somepony to ask why we're all staring at a dirt wall.]

[Sorry this took me two days - I've been insanely busy!]
Kail’s stomach grumbled in response to the promise of food. Aside from the one piece of pie she’d barely been able to keep down at the castle, she hadn’t eaten in…she couldn’t remember the last time she ate. It must have been on the pirate ship, but with everything that had happened she couldn’t remember. If she still had the Green Stripe it wouldn’t matter – between the Stripe and the Healing Stone she rarely had to eat or sleep. Now she felt like she could collapse if she didn’t get some food in her soon.
When they stopped in front of a dirt wall her eyebrow rose. “Your friend lives in a dirt mound?”
Roo chuckled, although he was surprised himself. When Geoff stood there muttering to himself, the unicorn stepped next to him. “Is there a reason we’re staring at a wall of dirt? I have room in the Tower, if you’d rather go there.”

[continued from Small Favours eventidemlprpg.proboards.com/index.cgi?board=krin&action=display&thread=170&page=2 ith Sil and Usu] Silent Storm rounded the block and down the street Turnkey had led him down before. He was rather exited for a party, and his steps had a sort of bounce to them despite his being weighed down by the set of armor he was wearing. Parties were rare occasions for him, and he figured if Turnkey was there everything would be more or less all right. As the buildings gave way to grassy fields and hills, Sil found the hill where the entrance to Mister Akaitora's house had last been situated. A few mares and stallions were standing around near where the portal was supposed to be. He didn't want to make himself known to the group at first, but after a moment saw a familiar face. Sil identified Professor Geoff among them, and moved from a walk to a trot toward them. "Geoff!" he called out to the blue stallion, "Why are you standing out here?"

Well Geoff had gotten them to the place where the portal was. Emphasis on was. He could tell by Kail's distemper that the crowd was not entirely too happy with his inability to produce the portal that led to food. He was unhappy with his inability to produce the portal that led to food. When Roo asked him about the wall of dirt, he turned to the group and explained. "Well. to be honest... yes. My friend does live in a mound of dirt. Except he lives in a mound of dirt we call the earth, about 2 miles below us. And a couple hundred miles away. I forget where exactly, but the point is, underground cavern carved out by magic. That being said, the only way to access it is via magic portal... and because I am a humble earth pony, I am unable to open the portal."
Geoff finished his rant and took a deep breath. "Ta-da." He finished weakly.
And then Silent Storm showed up. "Ah! Greetings and salutations old friend. It feels like it has been more than a very long time since I saw you la-." And then Geoff remembered when he saw him last. Which would've been right after blowing him up. That's why he trailed off into silence. He coughed awkwardly and started back up. "I seem to have forgotten the passcode/pass spell or whatchamacallit to open the portal to Kai's abode. You wouldn't happen to know it? And or be able to activate it? I think I may have a mob on my hand if I don't poof some food soon."
[Sorry for the delay and absence. It's been a looong two weeks. Well I'm done with most of my finals... yay... Now it's just concerts for the next 2 weeks.]

[Posting from my phone. Ah, the memories...]
"Of course we know how to get in," assured Usu, as he wrapped his foreleg around Geoff's shoulders. "But we have a bit of a situation you should know about. Kai's been arrested, and he probably won't be back tonight. That being said, let's get that portal open." As he turned back to the crowd, he saw, against the sunset, a silhouette of a cloaked unicorn standing atop the cliff. It stood there for a moment, before jumping into the air, and sliding down the hill like a boss.
When he finally made it to the bottom of the earthen mound, Kai slowly lifted his head from it's lowered position. The only thing that could have made him look more like a badarse was a pair of sunglasses, and, like a camera, was one of the things Kai didn't own. Looking at the three to his left, then the three to his right, he shook his head. Turning right, he asked, "Okay, who went around broadcasting my home to the world?"
"I thought you were in prison?" questioned Usu, stepping forward.
"I was,'' responded Kai, shrugging off the question. "I suppose we should all go inside..." with a soft glow, the portal opened, and Usu stepped inside, motioning for the others to follow.
[Sorry for the lack of color-coding. As I've said, I'm on my phone, not my computer.]

[Where did Usu come from? Haha]
Geoff jumped at Usu. He wasn't opposed to ponies touching him, but he was surprised by him. "Where did you come from?" He asked.
And then what Usu said washed over him. "Wait, what was that about prison? Or I suppose I could ask Kai the same. What happened?"

[Usu was following Sil. In part because they're friends, in part because they came from the same location, and in part because Kai asked him to keep an eye on Sil.]
"Oh, nothing too major," assured Kai as he turned Back to Geoff. "I was only charged with Stalking, unsanctioned construction, risking the structural integrity of Canterlot, destruction of Canterlot Castle property, Assaulting a few royal guards, impeding a guard investigation, resisting arrest, a second wave of assaulting royal guards, Stalking a princess, breaking and entering, improper use of royal property, and augmentation without a license." A smirk crept across his face. "Like I said, no big deal."
He turned now to his new guests, and smiled at them. "I don't believe any of us have met. My Name is Akaitora Franz, but you may call me Kai." He held out his right hoof in greetings to what he assumed were going to be his guests tonight.
[By the way, Kai was found guilty of all these crimes, save for one, and he left a note in the jail cell that he'd come back and serve his time as soon as he finished the job Luna gave him.]

Ember looked up dully at these new ponies, Each of them were odd in their own way, one had bat wings, and a mane of fire, while another had mechanical wings. Although she was curious, she wasn't really in a position to question anyone at the moment with her tear stained face and slumped posture. The unicorn simply prayed that no pony would question her. Her stomach gave a small rumble and she cringed slightly. She unfortunately had not eaten since the night before and even that was a small meal. Of course the huge excursion of today's adventure wasn't helping with her fatigue. She probably looked terrible, which was not at all good for making new friends so to speak. Ember looked down at her hooves irritably hoping that every pony would hurry up with the pleasantries and get into Kai's place of residence.

[Anypony who wants to can ignore Kai's hoofshake and go inside, except Kail, who only has to be introduced for Whisp's sake. Kai will be in shortly to serve some spicy sandwiches.]
