"Skitabachi." A little smile of amusement struck Sound's face, one he felt the need to hide by looking away from the 'superhero' who said it. What kind of absurd word was that? It just sounded like gibberish...

The initial humorous value of this faded enough for Sound to regain a straight face, and look back to Potato, Nivalia, and- Oh, the other two had joined the scene, and evidently taken an interest in Nivalia's reptile companion. Of which had somehow slithered right under and past Sound's feet without his noticing. The colt's stance froze solid at this realisation, and he didn't dare move until 'Caprica' was back in the possession of its owner. Why he had adopted an 'if-I-don't-move-it-can't-see-me' approach to this, he did not entirely know. "...U-Uhhmm... M-M-Miss N-Nivalia...? ...Y-Your p-p-pet...?"

Caprica slithers ever so slightly towards the pepper, the urge to categorize this new scent strong in her mind. Her tongue flicks over the vegetable, sliding past Sound Wrecker and coiling around the vegetable. Nivalia looks over to the blue colt as he calls out her name, "Hm? What was that de- Caprica!" she shouts as she steps over to her pet. Looking at the two new ponies, she picks up her snake and the pepper, thinking Caprica's presence forced them to relieve of the mild pepper. "Oh I'm so sorry, my girl likes to explore. Here's your pepper..." The mare pauses as she looks at PepperSpray, not being able to distinguish the exact gender with all of that mane over their face, "Uh, yeah, here you go. Sorry if my python gave either of you a scare. she's rather harmless, lazy if anything." Caprica slithers over to the pepper, not finished with her examination; Nivalia separates the vegetable even further, "Oye Caprica, stop it this isn't yours."

Potato rolls his eyes at Sound's amusement. "Yes Sound, its kinda funny, we got it." Potato actually knew what the word Skitabachi meant and had used for most his life, even though it was a made up word, and it was a serious word not to be taken lightly. Unless it was usef in a joking manner. Then lightness was ok. Honestly  its complicated.

As PoPo watches the snake try to grab the pepper, he notices that two other ponies have approached. He turns to them and asks "Have either of you two seen a grey unicorn?"

Pepper grinned at Caprica and frowned when the snake was taken away from the pepper but looked up to what must be the snakes owner and flicked his tail at marked. "Don't be a scared filly Marked." He teased the stallion before turning back to Nivalia. "Oh! It's no worries I sell them, if you or your lovely pet would like one I do not parting with one or two." He said with a sweet smile. "I'm Pepper Spray." He said by way of introduction nodding his head to the other two, an eyebrow raising at Po. "Interesting..." He mused to himself. "A grey mare? A grey stallion?" He asked curiously, before turning his attention back to Nivalia.

Marked winced a bit when he saw the mare handle the snake, almost as if the writer was expecting to see it chomp down onto her leg at any moment even despite how it was very clear that the snake belonged to her. "Hey, it ain't me being a scared filly... It's me being a mildly concerned colt." Marked kept his eyes on the snake as Pepper introduced herself to the new ponies, the writer eventually raising a brow at the question asked of them before scratching his chin and answering.

"A grey unicorn? Um... I don't think so? I haven't been keeping an eye out for one though, so who knows? I'm Marked by the way," he said, deciding he'd introduce himself wince Pepper had, "is someone missing or in trouble?"

Sound took note of the one named Pepper Spray's introduction being aimed to the three ponies in general, and in turn repeated his earlier actions of raising a hoof and speaking his name, "...S-Sound...". It was his usual way of greeting new individuals.

Looking back to Potato Ponie, he brought up the courage to ask a question concerning this 'grey unicorn' he seemed to be eager to find. "...U-Uhm, M-Mister Potato...? C-Could you t-tell... us a l-little more about th-this... unicorn y-you're trying to f-find...? W-We might b-be able... t-to keep an e-eye out for... th-this pony if we know... s-specifically wh-what to look out f-for..."

Nivalia nods to Pepper and Marked as they introduce themselves, "Oh, it's nice to meet you. My name's Nivalia and of course you met Caprica over here. And thank you so much for the pepper, I'm sure she'll enjoy it." The mare lowers the pepper to her pet, the python looking up and flicking her tongue to further explore its scent. As the snake occupies herself with the new food, Nivalia glances to Sound as he asks Potato Ponie for a better explanation of the thief in question. "Yes Potato, was there anything that could make them stand out in a crowd?"

"Welllllllllll.... He was grey, a unicorn, ummm... He had a pretty high pitched voice I guess. Not really snything I caught." Potato says, tryng to remember what the cornice looked like. Then Potato has a sudden idea and suddenly shouts "Oh and he mentioned something about another pony named "Cloaked" I think." Potato then tuns to Pepper and asks "Question, what kind of pepper is that?"

He would smile at the curiousity shown by the snake. "Caprica, a pretty name for a pretty snake!" He complimented before nodding to Nivalia. "And a handsome owner as well." He complimented before turning to potato with a curious look on his face. "A very mild banana pepper. I have others if you would like some. Jalapeņo, celestias wrath, slices of ghost." He said cheerfully, tail swishing happily.

Marked gave nods to each of the ponies in turn as they introduced themselves. With his question going unanswered however, he was only left with the option of listening closely and trying to piece together who these ponies were looking for and why simply out of their conversation. Because of this, Marked remained quiet for the time being, eyes shifting from pony to pony as they spoke.

Well, whomever Potato was looking for, the specifics really didn't narrow down a figure to look out for more than the original vague description. In fact, if anything, it now suggested to Sound that he now had to go find someone allegedly called 'Cloaked' in order to find the other one. This would take some time, and though he wanted to help, Sound wasn't entirely eager to run through Ponyville yelling the name of somepony he didn't know in hopes of finding him or her...

Nivalia's smile grows a bit more at the compliments she and Caprica receive. "Gracias. See Caprica?" the mare says as she looks over to her snake, "There are ponies wh- really?" Nivalia's tone deadpans as she finds her python already wrapped around the pepper, flicking her tongue over it. With a roll of her eyes and a half hearted sigh the dark mare looks back to Potato Ponie. "So this pony you're looking for. Grey unicorn, high pitched voice, and knows somepony possibly named 'Cloaked.' Have you informed the guards? Perhaps they might know more about this mystery pony." Nivalia pauses, "What did he steal exactly?"

"Pfffff... Who needs guards? Guards are lazy, corruptible, and are kinda idiots. No, no guards." The potato themed superhero says with a trace of annoyance in his voice. "He stole a bit purse from a turquoise-y pegasus. If you see her could you tell me also?" PoPo says.

Looks to the potato themed pony with a head tilted to the side. "I...er. Grey..unicorn, 'Cloaked' and...turquise-y pegasus...Talk about labelling people by coat color." He said with a  joking manner, running a hoof over his muzzle. "That's quite the shopping list of people to find my..caped friend." He said as he looked to Caprica and smiled, turning his head to marked. "I guess you were right that eventually I'd find somepony else, even if that person is not a pony." He said with a quick chuckle, lowering himself onto his plot, feeling the sun on his body. "Today would be a perfect day for a picnic I think, like, right here." He said with a nod.

"I would disagree with that..." Marked chimed in to defend the ponies who dedicated themselves to protecting the ponies of the country, "I've actually spent plenty of time around and talking to guards for my job, and I'm one hundred percent convinced that the country would be a desolate hole in the ground by now if it weren't for them. I shudder to think about it, really."

Turning his attention back to Pepper, Marked chuckled a little then shrugged, "Of course. I never knew snakes had a thing for peppers though. I wonder how excited it would get if it found your cart?"
