Starlight sipped her tea slowly as Ocellus finished her very long tale. She was now sitting in a cozy sweatshirt wrapped by a blanket on a lazy chair. The Head Mare rubbed her eyes with her fingers as she tried to come to grips with everything. Trixie sat on a couch nearby, her signature cape and hat on as she quietly listened in fascination.

The pink mare stood up, smoothing out her long jacket and dress pants as she went to go stare out the window for a moment. She let the silence linger for a bit as Ocellus continued to sip her own tea.

"So..." She said slowly. "That was a lot of sex you three had."

Ocellus nodded. "Mmm. Don't worry, Changedlings carried over the ability to stop reproduction unless intentionally authorized. Its a biological thing. So we could keep collecting love without having to worry about getting slowed by the process of reproduction. Now we just sometimes do it to help keep sharing the love." She let out small chuckle. "And I don't think anyone has heard of any Dragon and Gryphon hybrids being spawned so none of us have to worry about becoming parents just yet."

Trixie let out a low huff. "Lucky, Trixie would kill for the chance to get laid without having to worry about the protection."

Starlight eyed her friend who caught the look and returned to sipping her own tea, looking at any other direction she could.
The Head Mare breathed in and out slowly. "Alright, lets move past that for now. What I really want to know more about is this Changedling you all came across. She is still trapped there right?"

Ocellus silently nodded.

"And you are confident that we can possibly locate her in a labyrinth that you just described?"

Ocellus smiled. "If anyone is giving off any lust, she may just come to you."

"Trixie would like to offer herself as tribute."

Starlight glared hard at Trixie who muttered something under her breath before covering her eyes with her hat.

She gave another stern sigh. "I don't know if we can even replicate what happened again. But at the same time, we may have no choice. I have heard rumors around the grape vine. I have been compiling what I can. Ponies... Creatures... Have been going missing and those that are found are usually showing up in odd places... Days sometimes even weeks later. Usually in little to no clothing. All mention visiting a place that sounds vaguely familiar to the one you and your friends have been describing to me."

She stared off into the distance for a moment. Deep in thought. Ocellus glanced over at Trixie who shrugged her shoulders. She then grunted. "Um, excuse me. Is there anything else you need of me?"

She blinked and turned. "Yes sorry." She waved her hand. "Thankyou for your... Very detailed... Explanation of what happened. We may be looking for your expertise in the future should we ever manage to figure out a proper way back. You are free to go now."

Ocellus gave a quick bow before getting up and leaving, putting the tea down on the desk before quickly heading out the door. Gallus and Smolder were waiting for her. The three exchanged looks before shutting the door.

Starlight rubbed her eyes again. "This is a lot to take in. What's worse is that I may or may not be the cause of it. Sounds like there are entrances to this place opening up all over the place and with very few exits. Our only hope is that I can figure out a way to properly get back without having to resort to random accidents."

She walked over and pulled out some files from a drawer in her desk. The names of several residences of Ponyville and even one or two students could be seen amongst the pile.

She glanced back up at Trixie. "We have a lot of work ahead of us. Hope you are ready."

Trixie lifted her hat, leaned back and grinned. "Trixie will start working on her backstroke in the mean time."

Author's Note

And with that, we have a setup for a possible side story I am working on. A Chronicle/anthology of different characters interacting with the poolrooms (backrooms.)
Look forward to that sometime in the future. Until then, hope you all enjoyed and let me know what you thought down in the comments.
