Ask the Infiltrators

@ask-the-infiltrators / ask-the-infiltrators.tumblr.com

We are the Queen's loyal Infiltrators, tasked with leaving the hive to gather love and return to the Hive. Our mission takes us far and wide and don't always go well.. For some of us anyway. (This is an Ask/RP Blog, with the occasional drawing or picture depicting scenes from the character's stories or RPs. This is a SFW blog Penned by Xujints.)

Commissions open!

I mostly work with head-shots or busts of characters, but half and full body images are also available. Prices are negotiable, as time and effort are considered.

I also offer text based commissions. Character biographies, short drafts, scripts, and even full short stories are available. On a good day, I can easily write 5k words on a given subject.

*Special thanks to @halcyonblue​​ for letting me use one of their line arts to demonstrate what I can do exclusively for shading and special effects. I am willing to work with other artists collaboratively, whether it be shading their work, adding special effects and filters, or even animating.

Abstract would be seen on the other end of the portal, resting in what seemed to be some sort of lodge. He was reading a book a the moment, so he did not see Kaitlyn open up a portal to see him. He was talking into a stone, ever the multitasker as he stood up and started to pace, "Yeah, I got here safely. Honestly, it's been wonderful, sweetie. I never thought I would ever actually retire..."

He nodded at some invisible thing as he beamed, "My son is more than capable. There is nothing to worry about... Yes, I have told a few other people about this. Don't worry, it's not like I told any of my enemies where to find me."

The changeling sat the book down and laughed, finally noting Kaitlyn and acknowledging her stealthy presence with a small wave, "I know dear. Just trust me. I'll be fine out here. I have always wanted to go sledding with the hounds, and the nevermelt ice is perfect for sculpting... Yes, I love you too. Talk to you later~"

Kaitlyn's eyes lit up as she spots him. She crawls through the rift and started to approach, but stopped as she heard him talking to someone through a special stone.

She politely waited until he finished his call and put down the book. She smiles at him and gives a little playful wave. "Ah, my hunch of this exact spot was correct. So you've finally retired, lovebug?"

She looks around for a moment. "Quite the choice of locations~"

He gave her a small shrug as he turned to her, "I love to travel. And now, I don't have to worry about any wars or conflicts getting in between me and really SEEING the worlds."

The changeling openly and affectionately nuzzled her as his communication stone slipped into his inventory and out of sight. He wasn't going to need it now, hough her sudden visit did catch the elder changeling by surprise. She must have just gotten his message.

"Sorry for being distant. You know how hecktic war can be... I wanted to talk to you, talk to anyone, but I was one. Strict gag order for quite a long time."

The ancient wolf returned the affection. "And such fascinating worlds awaits your gaze, darling." She held him close and kept admiring him with a soft expression. "You can finally breathe now..."

"Aye, I've been in a war of sorts myself recently... an unusual one, but a war nonetheless. Even with the ability to split my conscious between multiple bodies, I could not really interact with others due to the warring infection of a parasitic hivemind trying to erase me and other life with itself. That was....horrible... to deal with."

"Ah, but I'm sure you don't want to hear about that. I have much happier things I can share"

He sealed his next words with a kiss, "I would hear anything you have to say..."

It's been far too long since the two of them last spoke. So much to say, so much to do. Catching up is going to be a major pain in the tail, but now he actually had the time to do it. After a moment. He pulled away and said with mild excitement, "Come, come! We can talk as I work. I want you to see this."

The changeling's excitement only grew as he took her by the hand to another room. He has been busy, sculpting important figures in his life in tiny chunks of ice. It was like a little village all along the table.

"I must apologize for my absence. Though I must say it's been a much-needed escape that made this return all the more enjoyable~" The tall white queen says as her yellowish green catlike eyes scanned the changelings around her. The hive she once visited years ago felt familiar. Yet almost like it has changed in many ways. Herself included as she was flanked by two of her guards instead of being alone. "Now who would be so willing to show me around?~"

Masquerade hummed audibly as he drew close, bowing before the queen, "Its been far too long... Forgive the others, most are not old enough to remember old allies and other hives."

The Princeling rose and offered her a kiss on the hoof, "We missed you..."

Avatar

“I have missed you as well dear Masquerade~” The Queen says pulling the Princeling in an embrace. “It’s good to see you again.” The guards gave them a little more space as their Queen shared an intimate moment with the other ling.

He returned the hug warmly, if a bit apologetic, "unfortunately, we are a little short staffed at the moment, so I hope a tour from me will do. Our Queen is away in Canterlot, Lucid is off on his infiltrator business... And well, you can imagine how boring it can be around here alone."

In fact, he might even say he himself hadn't done anything in a long time either. Nothing of note... Just sitting around, waiting to be useful to someone again, his past nearly long since been abandoned. It saddened him, but perhaps now that will change?

“Hmmm..” The Queen thought for a moment. Well pretended to mull over the offer. “I think we have no choice in the matter. After all my knowledge may as well be outdated.” She couldn’t help but let out a playful chuckle. “After you my dear.~”

He nodded and took her by the hoof. It was a simple thing really, just showing her around the hive, but he couldn't help but feel nervous. What if he said something embarrassing? What if he shows her something he shouldn’t? What if's floated about in his mind like a bee does their Hive, and they made each of his steps just the tiniest bit hesitant. Even around folks he knew, he never really was all that good at social matters. He stage was where he belonged, an eternal actor, not a prince, or even a political figure. It does not suit him...

Sensing his unease, the returned monarch brought Masquerade closer with her magic. “Calm yourself dear, your subjects might sense your unease. That wouldn’t do when your mother isn’t here to keep them calm.” She had done something the same but her sisters where there to help her out. Mainly to smack her to keep her calm in her early years of rule. Now having had time to rule she has fallen into her own rhythm. “How has your mother been since I have been gone?” Aurora asked as she walked with that practice regality that is expected of her.

He paused, his steps halting as she mentioned his mother. The pain was evident on his face as he asked, "You don't remember how things happened in our world, do you?"

The infiltrator sighed and gently moved her along, taking her to the hall of Queens, "I cannot say the same for other worlds, but there have been many Chrysalis' here. Each passing on the mantle for generations, the endless illusion of an everlasting queen. Although, there did come a point where everyone knew this secret. Hard to hide it when your queen pulls a 180 in terms of goals and motivations three times. I was among the clutch of eggs the latest was, born to be an infiltrator, yet still of high birth..."

He stopped at his mother's stone marker and bowed respectfully for a moment before continuing to Address Aurora, "Asside from my queen, there are only a few of us left now that can even remotely be called 'prince'. Not like I would use it in that sense. If anything I am more a prince consort in your case. That’s how that works, right?"

The changeling Queen was silent as she took it all in a hard look on her face. The signs of feeling regret and pain hidden away from her face. “I guess I should have remembered it. Young and foolish I was years ago to just disappear like that.”  A smile then graced her face as a memory resurfaced from the back of her mind. “I remember how happy she was when you told her the news.” She looked to the Infiltrator Prince finally after not meeting his gaze during the explanation. That smile would soon fade as the pain matched his. “I regret to not be here when it was probably needed the most.” She adds pulling Masquerade into a hug to not only to comfort him, but herself as well. After what felt like hours though only minutes she spoke back up. “Who was it that took up the title of Queen since the passing? You mentioned your new Queen off on a diplomatic trip?”

Masquerade hummed softly as he pondered what exactly to say, how he should answer this. But, eventually he did come to an answer, "I cannot say her true name. No one has that right but mother. Queen Chrysalis will have to suffice. My apologies."

He wished he could say more, that he could actually answer his wife, but there were some things not even the queen’s relatives could do... so, instead of fretting about it, he elected to continue the tour, "How about I keep showing you around a little. Surely there are places that aren't classified I could show you. Like the common area, or the quarters..."
