Chrysalis smiles and nuzzles Lullaby. "Thanks, sweetie." She says softly and buzzes some. Shade looks back and shrugs. "I'm not certain what you could do now but I'll go see if my Queen needs me." She says.
Lullaby giggled at the buzzes. "I really missed those noises." she said, giggling a bit because of the buzzes.
Shade walks to the throne room to see Chrysalis still having at least one of the guest still here. She smiles stands to one side quietly. This pony must of been a good friend of Chrysalis's. Shade was happy to see her Queen happy, especially with all the stress with the hive lately. Chrysalis smiles and nods, noticing Shade and Thunder enter. She didn't mind them much and giggles. "I remember you'd get a kick out of my buzzes." She says, remembering happy memories.
Lullaby giggled. "I always found them cute, and I still do." She said as she also giggled, then laid her head on her shoulder. "I really miss you back home." she said
Chrysalis smiles. "I know, but you know my place is here at the hive. I don't belong with ponies. Besides, I know Celestia wouldn't allow it in anycase. Her and I... still have out issues with eachother. I don't know it's too obvious, but your mother still has her reservations with me too." She says still sounding like she is a bit sad. The somberness bringing silence.
Lullaby remained silent for a moment until she realized they had visits. "Oh, there are ponies in there." She said as she sat beside Chrysalis.
Star woke up in a warm, glowing green cocoon, with most of her body covered, but face exposed. "Where in Tartarus am I?" He looked around, only being able to see a few feet in front of her in any direction. "Oh, that's right. Those dumb changelings got me!" She tries to wriggle free, but the cocoon adjusts to her struggling and tightens, pushing out all her breath. After inhaling deeply and allowing her prison to loosen, she tries to use some magic to free herself, only to find vines wrapping around her horn, suppressing her spell. "Oh Celestia... This is bad. Very bad."
thunder smiled at lullaby and waved she didnt know who this alicorn was but she was obviously on good terms with chrysalis
Chrysalis smiles. "Shade isn't a visitor, she is a resident of the hive. She and Thunder must of finished up what they were doing together." She says with a smile. Her own mind bugging her about an active pony in the Deep Hive. She'll let it be for now. This pony will not be able to do much anyway, not unless he could break her cocoon fully. Even so, she wouldn't be able to escape the Deep Hive with as dark as it is down there. Shade smiles and giggles. "Yep. Though Thunder and I had a bit of talk is all." She looks to Thunder. "Wanna say hi ?" She says.
Star kept trying to wriggle out, but the cocoon stole her breath every time. She knew she was alone, but at the same time she felt as if she wasn't alone in her mind. As if someone was peering into it. She tried to cast some more spells to protect her thoughts, but the damned vines crawled up around her horn, absorbing her magic before the spell could be cast. She didn't realize it, but she had cuts all over her forehead and around her horn from where the vines scraped her, and likely some bruises from the cocoon squeezing her.
Chrysalis smiles. "This is a good friend of mine. Her name is Midnight Lullaby." She says, mentioning about Lullaby to Shade and Thunder. Shade smile and nods. "It's a pleasure."
"hay lullaby....im thunder" she said a little meekly in truth she had never met an alicorn before so she was being a bit shy
Star began to formulate plans for possible escape. Maybe she could pretend to be brainwashed, and when some drones come and free her, she could make a run for freedom. But it was way too dark in... wherever she was, and it seemed to be a unnatural darkness that absorbed magical light. Maybe she could teleport? No, that spell was too hard for her, and even if she did know it, she wouldn't be able to use it without knowing where she was in the first place. "Come on Star, think! You've gotten out of tough situations before!" It was true. Something was preventing her from making a GOOD plan. Perhaps it was the cocoon, emitting some sort of mind scrambling magic. "For the love of Celestia, just come and brainwash me already! It's better than being stuck in this cocoon!" She instinctively reached to cover her mouth, but her restraints tightened magically, preventing her from doing so. Did she really just say that?
Chrysalis then sighs. "I need to attend to some business elsewhere. Could you two keep Lullaby company til I get back?" She says looking to Shade and Thunder. She looks like she is worried about something. Shade nods, knowing what Chrysalis is referring to. Shade is aware of a pony more headstrong that Trace being kept in the Deep Hive for future transformation experiments.
thunder smiled and nodded "ok i can do that" she then turned back to lullaby "so...um....what brings you here?" thunder asked her
Star saw the silouette of a tall, regal looking... thing approach. She couldn't tell if it was pony or Changeling. "Hello? Who's there?"
