Dark Matter shakes his head at the filly's antics before beginning to wander around, inspecting the place. Whoever did it, they were certainly thorough. Who might, though? And why? I guess it's possible somepony did this as a prank, but what would be the purpose?

He pauses his musings as he trips over a throw rug somewhere in one of the front rooms. He stands up and dusts himself off, though he probably doesn't need to, all things considered, before looking at his obstacle. Whoever did this really knew what they were doing. Everything is coordinated, if a bit over the top. I haven't seen anything this fancy since moving from Canterlot. Except maybe that dress shop.

On a whim, he decides to call out. "Hello? Is anypony here?"

Brash continues her pursuit to rip up the curtains

Carri responds to the call by floating down the stairs somberly. With a sigh that edges on a whimper she approaches Dark Matter, "I'm so sorry, I just need a little more time, please don't destroy the place yet." Carri pleads with her fore-hooves together.

Brash's growling stops, though she still tugs at the tough curtains as she eyes Carri.

Dark Matter wasn't really expecting anypony to respond to his call, and so is somewhat dumbfounded when an orange pegasus comes down the stairs. He recovers his tongue after a moment, though. "I beg your pardon, miss; I had no intention of destroying anything, whatever this other filly is doing. Would you happen to know what's going on here? I'm rather in the dark."

Carri gasps as she notices Brash, darting to her, she swoops her up. "Brash! This is our home, you can't help Dais destroy it!"

From the new high angle Brash easily pulls the curtains out before dropping them, "Oh yeah, that guy. Didn't I order you to drop a rock on him? ...Doesn't matter, we have a new mission now; We must find the perpetrator of this vandalism." Brash gestures to the room, "I had all my dust and papers right where I wanted them and now the dust is gone and my papers are neatly stacked in the kitchen, it's appalling."

"So this isn't the demolition guy?" Carri asks as she lowers Brash to the ground and takes a place beside her in front of Dark. Brash elects to stay quiet and let Dark answer for himself.

Dark Matter takes a step back and adopts a defensive posture. "Where in Equestria would you get that idea? I was accosted in the street by this... Brash, you said her name was?... demanding details on where somepony had taken her house, all but accusing me of lying when I said I had no knowledge what she was talking about." He realizes he's probably getting a little more worked up than the situation warrants, but he doesn't really care. "I followed her back here to find that the house is in the same place but somepony fancificated it, and she begins trying to tear it apart. Is it at all possible that I can get a logical explanation for what is going on here?"

Carri takes a breath to start before being interrupted by a "No." From Brash.

After a moment of silence she starts anyway, talking fast, "Well Brash usually keeps the place a big mess so ponies think it's abandoned and nopony tries to throw a welcome party for her 'cause she's heard about a Pinkie Pie who throws a party for most everypony who's new to town and she doesn't want a party because she's working on a secret project in her basement that only anypony who's helping with it is allowed to know about but then the mayor's assistant came by and wanted to tear the place down because it was an eyesore or something like that and I didn't want that at all 'cause it would mean that I'd have to leave and my plans to start a business in Ponyville would be ruined so I tried to talk everything out with Dais and that didn't work so I got real sad and I came back to the house after I thought I couldn't do anything and a unicorn lady offered to spruce the place up and I helped her do that but then I saw Brash coming home and she suddenly stomped away so I thought maybe she'd not thought we did good enough and the place would be demolished anyway so I started packing and then I thought you were ready to smash the place and making sure nopony was inside." Taking a sudden large breath she smiles, believing she'd perfectly explained everything.

Brash simply seemed to ignore the onslaught of an explanation, "Can we get back to finding the culprit now?"

Once upon a time, Dark Matter thought he had the skills to listen quickly, that he would never have to ask anypony to repeat themselves because their mouth was faster than his ears. To his chagrin, he found that he was wrong. At least he recognized that Dais name; his father taught him to learn the names of important ponies.

He stands silent for a moment after the pegasus is done speaking, trying to sort through what he was able to catch. "So... she keeps it a mess to keep a secret secret, but the mayor's assistant wants to tear it down, probably in accordance with city ordinance, and you don't want that of course, so... a unicorn lady came and helped spruce it up?" He shakes his head. He seems to be doing that a lot today. "Okay... I think this is starting to make some sort of sense... But you know who did this?"

"Oh, well... no." Carri answers, "Not her name at least, she had a fancy purple mane. She convinced a bunch of stallions to help, so she must be really influential around here. She made a lot of the new fabrics around herself." Carri points to the curtain on the floor. She then taps her chin, attempting to come up with more clues.

"That could be anypony." Brash responds, "I propose we set a trap. Criminals always return to the scene of the crime." Brash becomes increasingly interested in the curtain, this time picking it up and wrapping in around herself in various ways, striking poses as she does. "Ponies are going to start knowing I'm rich and inviting me to tea or some other nonsense."

Dark Matter rolls his eyes at the grey filly. Well, I guess this is about as much closure as I can expect for this whole thing. "Well, I'm sure I should remove myself to let you prepare for the waves of aristocrats no doubt lining up on the road as we speak." He inclines his head slightly to the pegasus. "Thank you very much, miss; you've been most helpful."

He turns to leave, stumbling slightly as he loses his balance for half a second. He doesn't trust this filly; he may want to get a warning to Rarity in some form, short of talking to her. Maybe a coded letter of some sort? That might be fun.

Brash somehow finds herself stuck in the curtain and thrashing for a way out.

Carri waves to Dark Matter, "Bye bye~" She then unravels Brash quickly, causing Brash to spin in the air a moment and land on her hooves. Putting the curtain back in its place she continues to wave to Dark through the window as he leaves even if he isn't looking.

Brash puts her snout up once he's gone and walks towards her basement, "I'll be making a list of materials I need for those traps."
