Elementary, my dear ponies
Who: Soma and very, very open - preferably everyone who wants to help search for the elements.
What: The game is afoot, but it's not a foot, it's jewelry.
Where: Equestria, round and about (Library first)
When: A day or two after this and this
Warnings: Probable violence, possible language, and all the general character-specific warnings. May as well go ahead and say this one's party style, no posting order, since the idea is for everyone to split up.
Soma was finally used to the new world. He could hover, he could soar, he could even do a barrel roll, and weather manipulation was much easier than he had first thought now that he had an actual idea how it worked. And he'd even regained a couple of his normal abilities - namely, the ones that had worked with his Giant Bat form before, plus Black Panther. They were a little different, admittedly - most had been scaled to fit his new form, for example, and Bat had given him something like a sonar sense - but they were familiar all the same, and that made him feel much more at ease.
In the same vein, he'd acquired a new weapon from the Moogles; a nondescript katana, well made but entirely devoid of enchantment, much like the ones he'd found in the castle and subsequently sold to Hammer. He could live with that; it was short enough he could use it in this form, and that was what really mattered to him. It gave him something he could use without relying on his souls or the poorly understood magic of this world. And he had Yoko now, too; the Peepsta Hoo was a welcome addition to his team.
He'd asked for everyone to gather outside of the library tree, since that was where the Elements had been taken from. He had confidence in this group's capabilities, but there were far too few of them likely to be able to use the Elements present. If it came down to a big fight, well... they were going to need all the firepower they could get.

So sayeth the look Lin gave Roxas from down her pony nose, before she closed her eyes and concentrated a little. She didn't deal with any spillages, but anything solid was lifted (a little wobbily at times) back into position. Metal items moved much more quickly than others.
"I'm guessing you've not had any success so far either?" She'd been upstairs but hadn't uncovered anything remotely royal-looking.
no subject
"No," he replied, an unintended whine in his voice. "But, this is only the first place I've really searched."
He watched as his mess was cleaned up, somewhat impressed. He hadn't really been honing his magic.
no subject
"And plenty more still to go," she grimaced. Lin had made a point to practice with the magic this world had given her. It was strange to manipulate things that didn't align with her traditional element, but the Princess had assured her it was quite normal for unicorns. "I do think cupboards may be the wrong places to search, though. Unless there's any heart shaped objects in the building?"
She hadn't found any upstairs.
no subject
Roxas has never really encountered a keyhole in person, but he has enough of Sora's memories telling him that it could show up pretty much anywhere. At least, that's what it looked like to him.
"I think if we find it first, we might not have to go through the nightmares again."
no subject
Still, she did shudder. "Hopefully we won't have to deal with that. But it'll depend on how soon we find them - we've multiple ones to find, and I doubt they've been hidden together."
no subject
"It would help if we had a clue or something. I mean, they could be anywhere, right?"
His ears flattened in annoyance.

"I don't get how you could hide a necklace or a crown in your heart. That just seems dumb."
no subject
A green eye glanced at him over her back. "I'm going to try the next building over. If we can't find the jewelry, then perhaps additional clues might be tucked away somewhere."
no subject
"I'll come help. I don't think there's anything here."
no subject
"I think Princess Celestia was of the opinion we won't find the physical objects. But I'm not sure how we'd find them otherwise." Except possibly while dreaming within the dream. ...Hopefully the Dreams during sleep weren't going to be a requirement, ugh.
no subject
"It probably means it works like a keyblade or something." If that was what Celestia thought, Roxas figured it might be true. She seemed like someone who was really wise.
"Like, the physical object is hiding in someone's heart and they need to make it come out somehow." In other words, something he probably couldn't access.
no subject
no subject
"That's...not really a good idea. Unlocking a heart, I mean. If they come from the Heart the Elements of Harmony probably show up the same way the keyblades do."
no subject
Your universe is nonsense, by the way. At least hers has some semblance of order
until she's canon-updated to next season.Futile as the search might be, Lin wasn't quite ready to stop yet. "Let's try this one." The next building looked like some sort of fancy salon. Maybe there'd be a clue here instead.
no subject
It's unfortunate that Lin is talking to the one person who really doesn't know that much. And leaving to find out that information really didn't work for him. As far as Roxas is concerned, he can use the keyblade because of Sora, and that keyblades are far more trouble than they're worth.
"Alright." He goes to open the door, making a note to try and be as neat as possible.

A pony spa. What a novel idea. The appointment book flipped open, careful page turning handled with telekinesis. "Hmm. Looks like there's a few rooms in here, baths to the right," she pointed with her horn, "and some storage rooms to the left. Which do you want?"
no subject
"I'll go look at the baths," he replied. He figured there would be less chance of him getting into trouble there. Or at least make less of a mess.
no subject
The drawers next to Lin popped open, and Lin rifled through the contents until three keys floated out. The one with a blue tag then levitated towards Roxas. He could either grab it with his own magic, or hook it on his horn. "All right. I'll start with the rooms on the right; keep on moving through until we meet in the middle."
no subject
With a little bit of maneuvering, Roxas caught the key with a nod. It was weird, using magic ti move everything and it made him miss his hands. Still, after a little bit of fumbling he managed to open the door and enter the baths.
He looked around the room. Who knew ponies needed baths like these. He began searching through the various shampoos and soaps, looking for anything out of the ordinary.
