As Luna sat on her throne, NMM close by her, she was thinking about stuff...Including the celebration that would be happening soon. But, she was also thinking about speaking with one of her followers, Arcel, mainly concerning some weather magic research the family had been doing. "Nightmare, please fetch Arcel for me..."

"At once, mistress," Nightmare Moon replied. She stood and paced her way down the stairs to the Royal Research Laboratory, where she knew Arcel was likely to be found.

In the Labratory, most of the other researchers had checked out for the time, except for one. This stallion Unicorn was well built(far more so then his alternate), his mane and tail were short, in a small braid. And on his horn he wore a strange bladed device(imagine the end of a halibard attached to a unicorn horn xD), the most disturbing part being the blade itself was made from a mixture which involved the horns of several fallen unicorns, a family heirloom, the SwirlStar, magic enhancing device.
Currently he was using it to control a storm cloud he had the pegasi bring in, trying to change its shape, form, and intencity, with minor success, but far more then had been possible before to mear unicorns.

Nightmare Moon, as is her habit, makes quite the entrance, deliberately scattering some papers (and a few unfortunate members of the janitorial staff) as she bursts into the laboratory.
"Researcher Arcel! Our mistress has demanded your presence!"
Without waiting for an answer, she grabs hold of Arcel's tail with her telekinesis, and attempts to drag him bodily from the lab.

Arcel starts a bit at the tail being pulled, but he was used to her grand entrances. He quickly calmed the cloud with his magic before turning to Nightmare, a grin on his face, "Oh Nightmare Moon, you know I always enjoy it when you play it rough," he chuckles lightly walking along now instead of being dragged.
He always enjoyed Nightmare Moon, he knew it was a prize he would never likely gain, but it didn't mean he couldn't attempt to flirt. He shook off those thoughts though.
"Did she say the reason she required me to pause my research?" he inquired in route.

"She did not say, but," Nightmare Moon looks around to see if they're being overheard, "She was thinking about the celebration, and weather magic. Something about one of the two, or perhaps both, We would think."

"Aww, of course of course..." he smiles a bit, composing himself a bit more as he reachs they reach the throne room. He imediatly bows low towards Luna, the SwirlStar sparking lightly when it touchs the ground.
"Your Magisty... you summoned me?"

She smiled alittle bit. "Yes, I did...How is the weather magic research going, Arcel?"

Arcel returned to standing position, glancing over and winking at Nightmare Moon, even if she didn't notice, before responding.
"Research in cloud formation and movement is advancing as schedualed, we can easily reshape premade clouds easily even without Pegasi," he said with a smile, then frowned, "Unfortunantly... beyond a light sprinkle, drawing lightening, thunder, and signifigant amounts of rain is far beyond us, let alone pre-programing clouds to strike out at anything that gets near them, its the major road block we have hit," he said.
He returned to a smile, "However... we have succeaded in basic cloud programing, getting them to go to where we want them and staying put... so we are well prepped for any cloud covering you might require" he explained. Not going into Wind since that was a specialty of his family, miniture tornados were second nature to him by now.

He looked up, "... is... something the matter your Majisty?... are my research results not satisfactory?" suddenly rather worried, being in the princess' good favor was importent, expecialy if the Swirl family was ever going to surpass the Sparkle family.

"We're a prosperous empire, that has gained power from crushing, and dominating our enemies...What do YOU think...?"

He hung his head a bit, a mixture of rage and sorrow, "..... I will attempt to correct this.... unforgivable drop in research quality... if I have to dehorn a hundred traitorus Unicorn to do so," he promised, ".... will... will that be all you Majisty... or are there more mistakes you wish me to make up for?" he asked.

She sighed. "You know...Maybe you should think about getting Magitech implants."

He paused, and looked up, Sorrow gone, "... I respect your advice your majisty... but the Swirl Family has long stuck to traditional magical stragies... technology corrupts the purity of the spells... and with artifacts like the SwirlStar I can still easily match any unicorn with those enhancments," he said, forcing a respectful tone, then bowed his head again, "However... if you order it, it shall be done... Your Majisty."
