Emerald starts first by identifying all the bodies in the room where the fight took place in an attempt to find Loupe. He does eventually find her behind some crates. Judging by the fact that there is a unbroken potion bottle nearby it can be assumed she was going to hide herself and lob potions. Emerald takes the potion up and puts it back in her hoof, and then makes his way over to the room that Joyride was in.
It’s a long corridor with rooms branching off to the side. Emerald can’t see into most of them however, because they’ve been blocked off by boxes, upturned beds, and other pieces of furniture.
At the end of the hall Emerald finds something that was very likely a lounge. The entrance way to it has been blocked slightly with big, comfy looking sofas turned on their sides with a lot of scorch marks on them, and behind it are piled some 20 or so ponies, many of which seemed to have made attempts to get to the back wall before falling asleep from the gas.
Emerald looks at the sleepers, and eventually spots Sugar Cane among them. He then takes another look around the room and sees a small kitchenette and a bathroom, but now other exits.
On the nearby kitchenette is a book. It’s hard to read because of the gas, but it looks to be a ledger.
Emerald ponders on whether he should write Bunsen and ask for his assistance. Would he be able to help? It might be a good idea.
