"Don't think I really need to go over where we're going or why we're doing this," or she at least hopes the hell not. She isn't familiar with the two others Dandy brought with him for this, but hey, she's going to assume they know where they're going or what they're doing. "Instead, I guess I should...explain some shit before we go diving in? Not like there's much to it."

She rubs the back of her head a little as she talks, not so much nervous as slightly pondering. She remembers jack about the second time she jumped in, but it's not really stopping her from trying again. She still wished she could remember more of the second time so she could give a better explanation as to what to expect, "It shouldn't be too hard to talk to her, because she's pretty much everywhere, just hanging out omnipresently. The main thing I know she can do is stare at us, which probably doesn't sound like it's that dangerous but if you were at the games you saw how much of a treat that shit can be. ...It's worse, inside."

She feels like it's worse than she could ever explain, both terrifying and pleasant, and yet terrible for reasons beyond even that. Reasons that only exist in the back of her mind. Aw well. Best to ignore it and go on. "Really, I'd just say don't look at the sky. ...If things get super bad, and there's no other way to leave, there's a portal in the train station in the version of Ponyville we're going to end up in that'll take whoever can get there back here. And...oh yeah. Time is wonky or some crap. Might feel like a few hours in there but it can end up being days here. I don't think the time thing will matter much though, because we'll either knock this out of the park for the most part or just get the shit kicked out of us. Not gonna lie: I actually think we have a pretty good chance for the former.

So, unless you've got questions or some shit that I'll try and help with, I'm otherwise pretty ready to jump into this thing."

"Yeah, whatever, I got that covered," Dandy's tone is casual and relaxed for someone about to jump into a horrible pony abomination, pulling out a blindfold from his pocket and dangling it like it's gold. People show off their gold and wave it around in front of people, right? "And Science Side's got the special juice to numb - I don't know - any creepy vibes she sends at you or whatever crap I heard about."

Despite his, well, everything, Dandy really did try to cover all his bases. It's a lot more than he usually does, he's not one to go out of his way to actually plan. Someone should be giving him a medal right about now. At the very least, a smiley sticker.

Crmsn rolls his eyes a little, smiling despite himself.

"It's Crmsn, but you can call me Science Side if you'd prefer."

He still likes the name. Science Side...he'd have to tell his wife that was his new name when he got home. Though he might have to fix the vowel problem.

"Well more accurately it's a minor paralytic watered down enough so that it doesn't make you completely useless...it's ingestible at least. It takes a couple minutes to work its way into your system, but it's better than nothing," Okay maybe it was just special numb-juice potion...but whatever, it worked, Dandy could attest to that, "Also got something a little more Prozac-y if it's more..mental based than physical."

Taking a moment he readjusts his satchel, making sure the vials he had were settled.

"Exit's at the train station, got it," He makes a mental note about that, the final piece of the exit strategy, "That makes a clear exit for us. That covers my question, at least."

Yukiko didn't look like much; just some odd dainty unicorn who looked rather out of place. Except for Dandy who saw her two back ups, the others had no idea what she could do. Instead, she remained quiet as Japple explained the situation for entering Calice. It didn't mean she wasn't paying attention, instead it was just her paying too much of it and processing it in her own thoughts.

When the other was finished speaking, Yukiko nodded to show that she got it all.

"Alright, I understand."

More of a show rather than tell recently. Important thing on her mind is protecting the idiot griffin from doing anything stupid. Call her stupid for willing to go face-to-face with unknown evil (was it?), but hopefully friendship would help nudge the alicorn into seeing their viewpoint.

"Count me out on putting that shit in me," Jappleack crosses her legs in front of her a moment as she speaks, looking over at Crmsn. She goes quiet for a few seconds after that, thinking that maybe that was a little bit too harsh and that she should explain a bit more.

"It should be okay if you all do it, but I kind of...need to feel all that I can when I do this. There's a lot going on when I...cross, I guess? And I have to feel it out, and I need every bit of me if I don't want to get our asses lost trying this. Though I think the road to her'll be pretty broad, either way."

She thinks a moment more, before adding, "Besides, the first time I ever did this I was...under the influence of something, kind of, and that allowed me to be more open to manipulation, I guess. Manipulation is the best way to put it, cause I sure as hell don't know what else describes it. And considering all the other factors we've got against us, I don't want to add any chance of the pale bitch manipulating where we go even more than she already can when I do this...if she isn't kind of just leading us their already."

Really, she'd like to keep clear minded in case they need to escape. To see if she can try and force everyone back and out of the Pale Pony if possible, though she has no clue if she's that capable.

And...to a point? It felt wrong going to meet her without feeling everything she could. Knowing what she does now...Jappleack can't imagine going in there not feeling a hundred percent itself. It'd be indecent, she guesses...to say hello to a friend and not be all there.

"Y'all can take them if you want, and I'd take the Prozacy one, cause it's definitely more mental than physical when we get there."

"Woah woah, slow down, baby. I'm not shoving anything in my mouth until we get there," a pause. "...That shit comes with us if we pocket it, right?"

Because his whole plan kind of relies on everything in his pocket. Dandy's talon strokes under his chin as he thinks about it more, wondering if he could still salvage his plan if 'Operation: Pocket' goes to shit. If he can't take anything in his pocket, then what about his clothes? What counts as passable and what doesn't? Where does the line get drawn?!

"Hey, uh, are we gonna show up naked when we get there? Because I'd be down for that, just saying."

Space Dandy, asking the important questions here.

Crmsn nods to Jappleack.

"Concentration is kinda key here, so that's understandable...It was more for the benefit of you all, knowing that it was there....if we need it....though I think you're right...feel kinda good about this."

He glances at Dandy...he has to admit, the griffons confidence and utter sillyness...just seems to help him relax a little more himself.

"I doubt we'll show up naked." the unicorn spoke bluntly, frowning at how the griffon was still a pervert. Well, at least he was honest?

"Whenever you're ready to go Jappleack-san, we should be too."

"The last damn thing I need to know is when you're putting something in your mouth, dude, but...yeah, I think you'll have the stuff you put in your pockets? Apparently we got the flash drive or whatever from the last trip. So if you can take stuff out you can probably bring stuff in."

She does think for a moment about Dandy's last comment, then shrugs. "Hell if I know. I can remember all of jack and shit about the last time, but no one mentioned being naked. Dunno. Maybe you'll get lucky."

Jappleack smiles a little bit before nodding. "We're going to knock this shit out of the park. So c'mon. Everyone take a hand, or hoof, or whatever the hell you want to call it."

And she puts her own hooves out.

"It's time to fly."

"What are we waiting for? Let's get this party started!"

Dandy grabs the two nearest hooves near him, practically whipping them his way with the added bonus of him being able to squeeze them in his dumb bird hands. Thankfully there's not enough force to pop anything out of any pony sockets, he's just a little too excited right now. Like a kid on Christmas. Horrible, monster-eyed filled Christmas.

It shows by how he bounces in place, waiting for the friendship circle to become complete.

Crmsn lurches forwards a bit at being tugged, laughing a little. You're such a kid Dandy. He takes one of Jappleacks hooves to finish his side of the circle. Not much to say now, just focus on the task ahead.

But will it help them with Calice?

Yukiko was the last one to touch hooves and complete the circle. All she could do know was pray that everything would go well and no one would be harmed.

"Alright. Everyone close your eyes and concentrate on..."

Shit. How should she even put it?

"Well. You'll know it when you feel it, trust me."

And she's closing her own eyes now. Concentrating and dimming out the world, pushing it out. No distractions here; no sounds or other people, no floor or ceiling. There is just her, preparing to float through the Void and looking for the stream she's followed twice before. A familiar pull, even if the second time has been lost to her.

Unlike his other outbursts, Dandy is surprisingly quiet this time around, even to the point where he ceases his obnoxious squirming. He simply hangs his head and closes his eyes, although anyone who manages to close theirs after him might notice a small wink before he's slumped over like a rag doll.

Dandy may or may not be keeping some things to himself, there's just way too much confidence for a guy who's supposedly never done anything like this before.

Or he's just dumb, your call.

Crmsn's still not sure if you're dumb or a savant Dandy...he's banking on that you're just...Dandy. He follows suit and closes his eyes. He takes a deep breath and lets it out slowly, letting himself relax.

He idly wonders if it was anything like how he would enter his shadows back home, he tried to focus his mind and search for that pull. Some path to follow through to...whatever other side he was looking for this time.

Just like jumping into the TV World; Yukiko closes her eyes and let her body relax itself as she let the one in charge go through wherever she needed to go.

And maybe say a silent prayer to have them all come back in one piece.

It doesn't come. Not for some time. But finally, it does. And the pull, while not quite as bad as the last time, still had something of an urgent quality to it.

Except for Dandy. Of everypony, he was the last to be pulled in.

For some reason.

For a moment, Jappleack wonders where in the hell the pull is. It hadn't taken this long the first time, had it taken this long the second? Yet again she wishes there was more she could compare against. She thinks for a moment that maybe she had screwed up too badly, that her capture during the second trip had helped the Pale Pony to find a way to block her entrance.

But then she can feel it, and then she's pushing herself on to it again, feeling it out and letting it take her back to the monochrome world again.

When Dandy does eventually show up, he's on the floor with his ass in the air. There, he holds his arm up and gives everyone a big thumbs up. Hello friends, he's arrived. Your fearless leader.

He's sure this 'world' is nice and spooky, and he's sure he should be feeling unsettled right about now.

Maybe later.

Let him just...get up first.

There's that pull he was looking for...though it's definitely different from what Crmsn is used to. For one it's something external...for another he really had no control of where it was taking him. There was also the abrupt shift in his everything.

Crmsn is staggered briefly, stumbling back onto his ass when he arrives. It'd been far too long since the last time he'd made a jump like that...

The pull is almost the same, the only difference is that Yukiko had no idea where exactly the pull would be taking her. But she didn't fight it, letting it guide her along the way.

Except she wasn't like most of her fellow travelers and landed on her face or rear. Nah, she was lucky to stay on her hooves. A bit wobbly due to the pull but she could shake it off.

"Is everyone alright?"

Here's to hoping, Yukiko, that you weren't on all fours. After all, you're a soul, and somehow, in this place, a soul always reflects one's true self. Or, at least, how they looked back home if they were human.

And as usual, it was quiet. Eerily so, and the greys are ever-present. However, for Jappleack, the atmosphere would have felt even more oppressive, more vigilant, than before. As if the eyes were to open if somepony so much as blinked wrong. Everyone in the party would have felt, and certainly looked quite, quite transparent, even with the eyes not present in the sky.

Also, there was a large stream of dark, dark smoke spiraling from somewhere in Ponyville.

If there had to be an educated guess, it seemed to be coming from the direction of the Library.

The force of the place hits Jappleack almost immediately. It wasn't a kindly place, a nice place, the first time she was here; was it this bad the second time? She doubts it - something's happened since the second trip into this thing. Jappleack can feel her shoulders stiffen, tense, and even though she has every urge to look up she tries to keep her eyes to the ground.

"I'm fine," her voice is a little...hoarse, perhaps, as she says that, uncharacteristic of her usual boisterous voice or yelling, "It's just...shit, there's-"

There's something wrong. And it doesn't take her long to actually look up, at least a little (never touching the sky too much oh no not for too long) as she notices the smoke spiraling up into the sky.

She catches herself as her legs prepare to bolt. As she prepares to start pounding the dirt and soil underneath her, to go and see what's happened.

Instead, she just jerks forward for a moment, and then stops. And then, slowly, begins to walk forward, her head down from the sky. She says nothing; she hopes that her body language says everything that she wants to - move slowly; don't look at the sky; be quiet.

What the hell happened here? What did she do last time, other than find the stupid flashdrive and get her dumb ass captured?

She's silent, and ever moving forward, as she heads towards the spire.

The moment Dandy recovers, he's back on his feet like nothing happened, one hand in his pocket and the other picking at his ear. It takes him a second, but suddenly it dawns on him that he actually has ears again.

Okay, so maybe not naked, but he can get down with everyone being back to normal. Let's just see what he got out of this grab bag...

Science Side? Eugh, no, but he didn't expect much out of a dude. Hard pass.

Sexy Ninja Replacement Girl? Meh.

And of course Jappleack is still a horse. That's just his luck, isn't it? Well, no going back, Dandy claps his hands together once as if to signal he's finally ready to get this show on the road.

"Okay, already off to a bad start," aka no one was hot. "You can make it up to me by not screwing this up."

Taking Japple's lead, he pulls the blindfold from his pocket, wraps it around his face, and follows behind her...blind as a bat.

"Yeah...just a bit disorieted..." Crmsn flashes a smile full of fangs to Yukiko. He takes a moment to just...revel in flexing his toes inside his shoes.

"I duuno, Dandy, the fact that I didn't lose my pants this time is a definite plus," he pushes back to his feet and sighs as Dandy blindly follows Jappleack, he'll just be making sure that the man doesn't trip and kill himself. The atmosphere definitely woke up instincts in the back of his mind.

It was a feeling he'd started to miss...that other half of his mind that let out a low warning growl to his subconcious that set his body on edge. This was about what he'd expected...

Good thing she didn't hear any of that inner monologue Dandy; he probably would've gotten a kick to the nads or something. Granted she was still in high school and taken but none of that mattered as the smoke was the main concern at the moment. Just like Japple said to not focus on the sky for too long, it was a quick scope of the area and heading off in that direction.

And it actually felt good being on two legs again.
