((THIS OP IS SUBJECT TO RANDOM CHANGES UNTIL SOMEONE JOINS. Just saying))
Zyrkon's arrival in Las Pegasus resulted in something he had already expected: Not long after his arrival he was arrested and taken to the police department. But something set members of the department on the edge of their seat, a name he mentioned, just a single name. That had been enough to take him straight into interrogation room, where he waited for someone to interrogate him...
The door swung open and a single earth pony walked in, surely stronger than an average one, wearing a detective trench coat over his gray coat, a piercing sepia gaze under his messy black mane. "Well, well, well... Seems we got ourselves a bug...", he spoke with a tone that sounded like he was about to narrate a whole Film Noir by himself, approaching the changeling but not sitting across the desk.
"And the bug managed to bring Fishy Fish out of his smelly office", Zyrkon taunted back. Tension lingered in the air for several seconds... One would thought that the changeling was doomed by now...
But no. They laughed, threw their hooves up and gave each other a welcoming hug. "Zyrkon! How long has it been, my good buggy buddy?!", "Fishy Fish" asked with joy of seeing an old friend back here. "Ah, Chief Jagen Fisch, I'm sure it has been months now. I see you have been doing fine. So, what has happened with Sharp Eye after our morgue burned?". The stallion let go of him and removed his cuffs, now sitting across the table for them to talk.
"Ah, Sharp Eye has been a wreck after the explosion brought the morgue down. He believed you to be dead for several days until the investigation turned up three facts: First, no trace of your charred body was found. Two, your documents were found in a safe along with a documents connecting the bombing incident to a local gang which we just put behind the bars. Oh, Sharp Eye has your documents with him. Both your ID and licenses as Zyrkon and as Zircon Bits. And finally three, there is an unidentifiable body we found FUBAR. ... You know something about this body, please tell us. He or she might have a family."
Zyrkon looked down, feeling a pang of guilt. "Ah, yes. I realized they had set an explosion to happen and escaped... But that stallion was dead before everything burned. I was the last one he talked to, he... He begged me... To do something..." he struggled to hold that single tear from running down his eyes.
"No need to talk about it all at once, take your time... We have all the time, of course... But you are a key witness, you know who he was, you can become him..."
"That was what he asked. He asked me to become him, to keep his death a secret from his wife Tea Shots and son Sky High in Ponyville.", Zyrkon then took the form of Clover Card, "Hi, I am Clover Card. Teacher, biologist, gambler."
"So, he is the one that died... I'm sorry you had to do this. To become him. It must hurt.", Jagen Fisch watched the form of Clover Card change back into that of Zyrkon, "I could press charges on you for identity theft, you know, and put you behind the bars."
"I know you won't. Well, I mean... You can overlook this one incident, we have been working together for really long, you know I wouldn't simply take someone's identity for my own amusement."
"Hah, you read me like a book! Your good deeds outnumbers your bad ones, even if you are a changeling, which doesn't give you a good image. We are aware of that, aren't we?", Zyrkon gave him a confirmation nod, "I'm glad that you work with us, Zyrkon. If it weren't for you, my promotion would have never happened, I would have never solved those cases and I would not be here to continue my duty. I assume you will be going to see Sharp Eye now, right?"
"Not exactly right now. I'm going to visit Inkblot first, get "recharged", bring her the smile that must have been stolen since that day. As much as she creeps me out, she is my friend and the one most willing to feed me with love. After that, I will see Sharp Eye myself. But I'll need some help, like maybe some officers to escort me or a permission signed by you."
"Ah, sure! I can provide that to you, my friend. The permission and an escorting officer, just stay here a little longer.", and thus Jagen Fisch left the interrogation room, as silence became this changeling's only companion for now.
At least now Zyrkon was walking freely around the interrogation room. Minutes have passed, but the changeling simply waited... And then Jagen finally returned, with a police stallion. "Zyrkon, here's the permission. Keep it with you until you get your documents back and, after you have your documents, you must burn the permission. You got it?", he then passed the paper to Zyrkon, who simply put it away without checking.
"Yes, Chief Fisch. Anything else?", Zyrkon asked, looking at the police Stallion next to him.
"Yes, another thing. Two things. First, you don't need to call me by my title or second name. I owe you for all you did for me and my team, Zyrkon, you are a friend of mine! And the second one: This is Siren Ringer. He will accompany you to Inkblot's apartment to ensure you aren't threatened by anyone. Any other questions?"
"Understood, Jagen. Thank you for all you have done.", Zyrkon then shook hooves with the stallion. "Pleasure is all mine, Zyrkon. Take care and stay out of trouble.", Jagen responded and followed them outside. Zyrkon's next goal was to visit Inkblot, escorted by Siren Ringer.
"So, you won't be staying?", spoke a black and white mare in her apartment, as she led Zyrkon to the door. "Sorry, Inkblot... I got to get back to my journey, I'm pursuing my heart.", Zyrkon replied, kissing her cheeks and witnessing her give him a smirk, "I know how much you love me... But I'm glad you don't let yourself get overly attached... You deserve someone better than me, you know.". "I doubt there's somepony better than you. At least for me. But, well, I will continue looking."
Now Zyrkon was once again out in the streets, heading towards a casino to meet up with a certain friend and to hopefully meet someone else he was supposed to meet there... Pinkie Pie.
The changeling had overstayed his welcome, but nothing really matters now. He had his documents back, had said his goodbyes and had to leave Las Pegasus for the time being. Unrolling his map, he checked his destination: Cloudsdale. "It's gonna be a LOOOOOOOONG trip there...", he thought aloud and looked at something in the map soon after, "Hold on... A train! I could sure hitch a ride! Well, off to train station!". Now, disguised in a pony form whose colors were a match to his own, he headed to the train station.
Zyrkon's arrival in Las Pegasus resulted in something he had already expected: Not long after his arrival he was arrested and taken to the police department. But something set members of the department on the edge of their seat, a name he mentioned, just a single name.
