The lost boy
Chapter six getting acquainted
Previous ChapterNext ChapterWhen the other me arrived at the apple orchard it was easy to tell by the sudden spike in fear. Looking into what he is doing, it seems that he has taken off his mask and claimed to be working for the queen. Don't know why that caused fear, but maybe it is because he said Queen and there's only a King or a Princess? Might have to look into that one....
Finally it's time to act. It's been a boring couple of days. Looking at my briefcase I wonder if I can conjure traits or emotions. Thinking of acquiring confidence I open the briefcase to find a pill bottle. Taking out what appears to be a sticker from the bottle I see that it has the word "CONFIDENCE" printed on it. I immediately make number two and three "me" take them. The moment it touched their necks they seem to be less nervous and a little over confident. Now I only have to send them out to do their missions. One goes straight into the village and the other goes in a different more obscure way into another village.
They will take awhile to get there so I'm free to do whatever I please. Opening my briefcase I summon a crow messenger. I imagine a mini briefcase so he can summon little objects from the fear he collects. Tying the briefcase to the little bird I send him on his way. Now I can let them fade into the background of my mind.
I wander around placing claymores and a few weeping angels. With that fun over I move on to the next thing. Looking at my briefcase it is at six thousand five hundred and fourty two which should go up soon. With that in mind I summon a drone to explore more of the world and fill in my mental map.
While exploring I decide to see what the others are up to. The me in Appaloosa is trying to get more people to drink the water because the facade failed. Then I move to the me that is just waltzing into town, but the guards are starting to follow him. That should get the higher ups attention. Lastly the hidden me has changed his outfit. Taking the jacket off and putting a chain around my neck as an edgy necklace. When you look at him you would never be able to link me to him. Still he's making his way down town doing nothing important.
Focusing on making this forest even more terrifying, I throw in a tall man in a suit with no face. I wish him luck on his adventure to find his home in this forest. Now what to do what to do. I guess I'll set some bear traps without anyway to unlock them. My briefcase is at five thousand and fifteen. When I'm done spreading those around I tune into the other three me.
The one in Appaloosa has convinced most the people to drink the water saying that mentioning a Queen was only a slip of the tongue. He had meant to say Princess! So that will give me a lot more fear to work with. Next the sneaking me is putting on a performance. Lastly the "fuck it all" me is heading towards some royal looking people. That one will need to have my full attention. Fuck it! I'm piloting this one. I don't trust myself with this.
When I arrive the guards surround me and yell at me to back away from the Princess. Well that explains Appaloosa not believing my Queen story. Anyway, I pull out my phone and pretend to read mumbling "bomb", "minions", and "capture" a few times. This puts everyone on edge until someone broke the silence with a voice not suitable for silence breaking. That one landed in the eardrum bursting catagory.
"Who art tho to walk up to royalty in such a fashion!". Clearly anger management is needed, but she's in charge. Looking at the two royals they are both female so they must be Princesses since Queen didn't go well last time. The white one calmed the other one down, then steped towards me with the guards ready to pounce.
"You have been found guilty of assault, pony napping, and child neglect. How do you plead?" It was spoken rather forcefully and powerfully, like I was already guilty. What happened to innocent until proven guilty? Apparently that courtesy did not follow me here, so I answer with the obvious response.
"No you"
"How do YOU plead?". Saying this with a straight face and a strong tone was hard. But the expression on everyone's faces was worth it. They were all furious at me, especially the blue Princess while the white Princess just looked confused.
"HOW DARE YOU DISRESPECT PRINCESS CELESTIA YOU CRIMINAL!" These guards are very fond of yelling it seems. But at least I got one of the Princess' names.
"If that is all you have to say, then you will be found guilty of these crimes. You are to be sentenced to a life time in jail but if you reveal the location of the hostages we can come to an agreement." Well isn't she a politician, but fuck your rules. But hey! What are you going to do? Might as well talk before I kill myself.
"So you're the Sun Princess and she's the Moon Princess. This is an unexpected judgement according to your temperament." Everyone scowled again, but I continue. "But we could still talk. I mean we're all reasonable here, right?" I get no response from anyone, which is rather rude. "Well, I'll take that as a no then." Since I'm done I run right at her full speed. That caused the expected response with everyone thrusting their spears and casting their spells. Unrecognizable Wich is good but dead two seconds later and that fucking hurt.
With me back in my original body, I think on how that went. Surprisingly that went better then expected. Wait a minute.... does my body still remain or does it disappear? Whatever. Not important. What is important is what my other me is doing.
Focusing I see that he is doing tricks and putting on a show. That was pretty clever because he can pick the cards out of his briefcase along with a needle thing. But he also needs fear for it to work. Watching him for awhile, I learn he gathers fear by showing some psychotic behavior, staring at people for an uncomfortable amount of time, and twitching. Constant twitching. Before he started performing or even before he got to town he needed a question answered. I decided that enough time had past and at least one of my questions needed to be answered.
Proding his mind and reminding him
to ask the question right before he was about to do his next track. He suddenly asked the people a simple question. Because this was out of the blue and the sly magician act was suddenly gone, this questioning God demeanor took them all by surprise. But they did hear me and some decided to answer. "What is Equestria to you?" While some of them raise their hands others just blurted their answer out ----"harmony", "the strongest nation", "home to the sun and moon goddess", "the perfect nation". There was a lot more but those were the only ones I was able to catch from the crowd.
When I was leaving his body I gave him two instructions. The first one is to make an escape and change his clothes. Second was that he must become a citizen of this town. Using a big smoke bomb the first tsdk was easy to achieve. But all that isn't important at the moment right now. What is important is the investments I just made. Three thousand and forty was left on my briefcase after summoning three me things.
While two of them will be hidden, the third one will we will use on a daily basis. What was in my hands? A velvet box and when I opened it there was a silver bell with no clapper. There was some engravings on the bell but I do not read them. Instead I rang it. The sound did not come from the bell, but there was a chime.
"Hello Master Alex. How may I assist you today?"
"Mr Deeds correct? What SCP number are you?"
"That is right sir. The number assigned to me was six six two. Will there be anything else you need sir?"
"Yes. I need as much of this worlds currency as you can carry. Next I will need a belt of grenades. That would be all and thank you in advance."
"Of course sir. I will get to it right to it"
When he turned around to get what I asked for I stopped him. "Wait a minute Mr deeds can you call me Mr fear."
"Of course master fear I will remember that from now on."
Then he turned the corner and he left my mind for the moment. Looking at the last me he seems to have gotten as many people to drink the water as he could. Now he put his sack back on and now was scaring people. While trying to keep everyone in town and short supply so they will need to drink the water. Rather smart on my part if I say so.
But I need to prepare for the worst I've angered important people. Right about know I should be presumed dead and consequently not being looked for. But like they say better safe then sorry so might as well. With that in mind I use forty five points to summon four more of me to keep watch with sacks covering there faces like always. Setting them around the area I was in and one to the two hostages I decide I need to rest my mind for awhile.
