The Full Moon Syndrome [SIGN-UP]

[Laurel Crown]

"Wow... Ehm... Do you know you owe me one for saving your mane? It was like sleeping on a bed made of ice..." Ironically that's what Laurel slept on. A surface covered in ice.

"But... But... What is a future without a past? It feels like I'm living a new life from now on... but what should I do? I'm not a pony. I'm a VAMpony. A monster!" she sobs.

[Stryder221]

"Yes, yes, I do realize that. Now could you please go check on Match, now? I think he's burned out. Make sure he didn't... you know."
Illusion had said, jerking his head towards Match's less than conscious form.

Now, back to Scarlet.

"Look... Regardless of what you are, there's sure to be a place for you in Equestria, even after everything that's happened. Vamponies already exist, don't you know? Ones that never had anything to do with... her. And it's not just batponies, either, I don't think. The point I'm trying to make is... You can't fly if you never try. Rhyme not intended."

The unicorn gave a smile which he hoped was re-assuring enough.

"And besides. How do you know she wasn't just hiding more secrets? Give it a week or two; The guards will raid that old lair and practically take it apart. Who knows? Maybe she was hiding a way to reverse the transformation? And one more thing... if you need a place to stay."

He then held out a hoof, offering to help the Vampony up.

"I can help, if you want..."

[Laurel Crown]

Laurel do what Illusion said and goes to check Match Stick, trying desperately to wake him up... or at the least checking his vitals.
There is no time to waste on sentiments but if Laurel had the chance, he would scream by how messed up Match's body is.
[I'll let Annosrules describe Match's conditions in further details]

Scarlet looks at the unicorn's hoof as if it's a strange object.
It took her a while to pick a decision due to the feeling of being alone with no direction to follow like an explorer on a vast saddle arabian desert. She tried her hardest to look what would happen to her in the future, especially on hindsight... but couldn't tell.
With huge effort, she raises her hoof and finally grasp the unicorn's.
She make a simple grin... not of sadistic thoughts but of relief. Relief for having a second chance in living her life...

[So far Laurel Crown, Grand Illusion and Carter have survived. If the other ponies won't respond, they will be considered MIA and we'll finish the RP with the three of us.]

[_BlazingInfinity]

Carter flies back to the spot where they were.

"Couldn't get anyone but we finally did it! We survived!" he said.

[Stryder221]

Illusion let out a small grunt as he had pulled the Vampony up, showing his own little smile as he did so. As least I've done one thing right this night...
"Tending to the injured would be a good way to start... You think you're up for it, Scarlet?"

[annosrules]

Match's vitals are feint, but evident. His sustained injuries seem to have rendered him unconscious, which is probably for the best given the extent of them. Suffice it to say, this Guard will live another day.

[_BlazingInfinity]

Carter feels as good as ever as he does a flip. (I can't believe I actually managed to stay in this RP! There should totally be a side story to this later on.)

[Laurel Crown]

[Maybe... ]

Carter has brought a squad of batponies and even some members from the Medi-Squad with chariots developed to carry the injured in case of a battle. Unicorns trained in medicine and magic to threat the soldiers from every kind of physical and magic wounds. Upon reaching the ice block Princess is blocked and the body of Match lying unconscious, the leader of the Medi-Squad named Heart Rate starts giving instructions and debriefing the ponies that are present in the field.

"We came as soon as possible by following your friend Carter. We examined Her Majesty and the unicorn: they do not run any major risk fortunately... but we have to act fast if we want our princess and the unicorn to live another day."

"Got it."

[_BlazingInfinity]

"Is there anything I can do to help?" asked Carter.

[MMTfan1]

(I can't believe I actually managed to stay in this RP! There should totally be a side story to this later on.)

(I was hoping to stay in this RP myself, but I ended up being unable to come onto the forums as much as I used to, so that's why I asked to leave the RP.  Anyway, I am open to returning for the ending, but that's up to you guys) 

[Laurel Crown]

"Well... You can scout the area to see if there are more injured ponies in the area. Right now I need all the unicorns available to thaw the ice and free the princess. That is the first priority." says Heart Rate to Carter.

[I'm very sorry MMT but I see the problem and you're not the only one who didn't replied in this RP. Do not judge me as a bad person but I acted the one GM that rewards the active players and punish those who aren't... but that doesn't mean I do not understand you.]

[_BlazingInfinity]

"Got it!" Carter said as he flew and started scouting. He felt free. He felt happy that he had escaped from control.

[Stryder221]

Illusion, having overheard the medic's suggestion to Carter, gave a little nod. "I'm going to go ahead and help thaw the princess." He had said to Scarlet.
"You think you can help Carter out while I'm at it? Just tell him I sent you if he starts complaining."

The unicorn then flashed another one of his grins before he turned and approached the medical personnel surrounding the now-icy Luna.
"I heard you lot could use some volunteers. Is there any particular spell you'll want? Or is basic heat good enough?"

[Julien999]

((This begining of the year, I have an hard time to connect on the entire internet... one of the reason to why I wasn't active.))
White Night lands next to them and ask.
"Did... everyvampony realized what his/her "mother" wanted to do? And will Princess Luna be fine?"

[Laurel Crown]

After Illusion leave Scarlet to decide what should she do, she explains everything to White Night who approached next to her.

"My mother... no..." While replying to White Night, Scarlet shakes her head to remove the memory of the princess from her head. "Arctic Star tried to invade Equestria by using us as her pawns with the story of being adopted by her. She actually kidnapped and brainwashed lots of fillies through the years. Orphans that lives on the streets, living as their day was the final one. I her plan didn't come out, whether due to Princess Luna's intervention or yours, she would have used the Boomerang Nebula, named after the coldest place in the universe."

------------------------
Meanwhile Heart Rate, a blonde stallion both in coat and mane color and wearing a white coat and rectangular glasses, explains the situation at Grand Illusion and Laurel Crown.
"Well... We have unicorns graduated from the School for Gifted Unicorns and I think you are no exception, having survived this mess of a battle... But the problem is: if we have to thaw the princess, we need some advanced pyrokinesis here. Arctic Star's specialty is cryokinesis and her ice is not common ice. It's ice-nine."

"Ice-nine? You mean the hardest type?"

"Exactly. To analyze Arctic Star's power, we had a real cryokinesis veteran on our team and he said that ice-nine can only be melted at 48° Celsius [114° Fahrenheit]. We need a lot of firepower, literally, if we have to free our princess from her ice prison."

[Julien999]

((Uh oh. We know that Match Stick is specialised on his fire type ability and he's the one who made Arctic Star KO'ed, but unfortunately, Match is also out of the party when he overcharged his fire magic to beat Arctic in a single hit... Illusion will be able to help them to free the Princess of the night? By using his fire magic or by putting Match on his hooves? Let's see it now. :3c ))

"Hmm, I see. She's sure is really powerful by controlling all of you at once." She said as she's putting on her back a yellow female vampony with a purple mane and tail which is familiar to Illusion. Wait, was it Marble Star?

((Just bringing up Misty's OC, but it can not be played since Misty has been kicked out off of the RP. Let's say Marble Star is one of the injured vamponies. ))

[Laurel Crown]

"I'm pretty sure she used powerful subliminal messages to... I don't say "control the mind" because all these vamponies appeared to be self-aware of their actions. Maybe she used to "control their character" and made them extremely violent in nature. That's why Scarlet appeared as a feral and violent pony."

Scarlet do not say anything. She was too afraid to admit everything when she was in "Beast" mode.

[Stryder221]

"That's... not that high of a temperature. I was expecting something a bit more spectacular." Illusion had said, looking very unimpressed and disappointed. "If that's all the heat we need, then it'd probably just be way easier to start a big bonfire. I mean, heck, even the average campfire tends to go way above those temperatures. If we had to use strictly magical means, then yeah, that could get complicated."

[Laurel Crown]

"She was one of your companions." Scarlet checks Marble Star's vitals by touching her hooves, neck and torso. Her heart still beats. "She is unconscious but won't run any danger. For now the top priority is taking care of the badly injured ones."

"Yes... yet we need a huge bonfire in order to thaw such resilient ice. A huge bonfire means a concentrated fire magic on that one spot that is the Princess Luna."

"Isn't Match Stick some sort of pyromancer?" Laurel asks what sounded like an unnecessary question but he asked anyway.

[Stryder221]

"Or we could do the mundane solution of getting a whole bunch of firewood and lighting it up. The only hard part would be getting that wood in a hurry. C'mon, I can't be the only one thinking outside of the magic box... Just being a few feet away from such a thing would be enough to go above the melting point. I mean, really, is there something I'm missing? Oh, and yes, yes he is."

Illusion had briefly turned to Laurel with that last comment. But now he was subtly beginning to tap a fore-hoof on the icy(?) ground.
These excuses weren't good for one's patience, especially not when, theoretically, it could already be too late. He was half-tempted to do an impersonation of his brother and make the remaining healthy ponies work.

"Do you happen to have any axes? Or know where we can get any in a hurry?" He had then said, trying to discreetly get his point across.
