Cloudy Skies trotted around Rainbow Falls, looking through the trading stands. He leaned over, lilac eyes focused on a silver item. He huffed and turned away, he'd seen tons of those pins. He trotted a ways down, stopping at a blueish stand. The silver silky ribbons drooped down from the top of the stand. His breathed in, "What kind of claw is this?" it was blunt and looked like it was for digging. "It's said to have fallen from the beast known as Yanmei." Cloudy Skies flicked a white ear, feeling his mane rustle between them, "Yanmei?" The stand owner leaned on her table, "Yanmei is a furry beast known to attack and kill ponies." Cloudy Skies blinked, "It doesn't sound as dangerous as all the other creatures that plague this land." The mare shrugged, "It's dangerous because of how easily it kills ponies. Not even the Canterlot royal guard could take the beast down, they only received this claw." Cloudy Skies rolled his eyes, "How could that be true?" He glanced around, stopping a random pony on the path, "You, have you heard of a creature called 'Yanmei'?" (This random pony could be YOU!)
Lightspeed flash walks toward the stranger that beckoned her "Yanmei huh, come to think of it isn't that the legendary creature that even the royal guard could not detain?" she asked. "why do you have one of its claws?" she added
Overhearing this interesting conversation, a rather puzzled Match joins in by saying, "The royal guard couldn't defeat this beast?". Match's puzzled expression is quickly replaced by a determined grin as he realizes what this creature's defeat could bring him, and he boldly states, "Then it must be defeated while it is weak, lest it regain its strength!". "And appetite." he adds slyly.
Lightspeed Flash turns to the confidant pony and asks "Do you really think you can find let alone defeat this creature?" cocking her head and raising her eyebrow "Yanmei is known for killing ponies easily who knows what it is still capable of. The creature is most likely quick witted so a head on attack would probably end in failure." she states "I mean unless you have a thought out plan to find and take on Yanmei you will likely get hurt at best. So with that said I am going with you so if there is a problem I can fly us to safety so we can live another day and plan our next move" She says to the mysterious dark pony
she then turns back to the pony that beckoned her and asks "Hey do you want to come too this sounds interesting to say the least right?"
Match starts thinking out loud, "Well the Yanmei seems to be strongest at close range, so all one needs to do is take it out from afar. All one would need is bait and a defensive position a little ways away to retreat to or attack from.". (Match continues talking in this manner until spoken to.)
Flash walks up to to the dark pony and waves her hoof in front of his face "Hey hello I was talking to YOU silly do you want me to go with you or not"
OOC: look at my previous post bud.
(OOC. Sorry, thought you were talking to Cloudy Skies 0:) )
Realizing that the pony was in fact addressing him, Match faces him and states, "Are you crazy? I was only theorizing, I cant take on a murderous pony killer!"
Grey Leaf was browsing the flowers section of the stands, being careful not to.... well, get kicked out again. The merchants were all eyeing him very carefully.... however, there was no need. Last time what he did to the flowers was a total accident, and he didn't mean to ruin their entire flower crop so quickly. He was just sampling the flowers colors... as he was browsing, he overheard the conversation of the small group of ponies, talking about some pony killing, unkillable beast. Soon his interested shifted from the roses and tulips, to monster slaying, and so he stands a bit away from them, watching and listening. He was a gry pony with a black mane and tail that was rather unkept, and his cutie mark was a grey maple leaf. His eyes were Silver, and although calm, seemed peircing, like they could rip any lie you put in front of him.

((Also before you think I'm sort of new RPer making an OP character, this OC simply has the ability to drain color from vegetation, hold onto it, and use it elsewhere. How is it useful? No idea.))
A short purple pony was standing on a dark corner of an alleyway looking at strip of newspaper, his red eyes were the only light in the area . "Yanmei strikes again...ha it seems this creature is really making a name for itself." he said leaning his head down smiling. The newspaper he tossed was being seen blowing in the wind. "A creature that big of a threat...ooooh it would be the joy taking it out for myself hehe...haha"
"Well now that I have your attention." she snickers "Can I get your name? as for mine my name is Lightspeed Flash nice to meet you." she smiles "what happened to all that courage and confidence you had just a second ago? she laughed "I don't blame you for the fear you have of the beast. Yanmei is a scary creature so IF we do end up trying to go after it we will NEED more than just the two of us. she adds
"My name is Match Stick" Match states while giving a ceremonial bow. "And pointing out that Yanmei is injured and should be taken care of, doesn't really count as courage.", Match adds with a laugh.
"oh well it sounded brave anyway" she says as she bows her head in return "well nice to meet you Match Stick" she said "what is it you came to rainbow falls for?" she wondered " I came initially to trade my spare flight badge." she holds up a shiny flight badge "I was hoping to trade it for the new daring do book it has rainbow dash on the front" she continued "but then over heard these two talking about Yanmei and that got my attention."
Match says with a casual shrug,"I've been roaming around the main cities looking for adventure, but this one seems a bit over my head." He then asks while pointing toward Lunar Dusk and Grey Leaf, "Are those ponies watching us?"
Grey Leaf quietly keeps watching them for a few moments, then notices the hoof pointed towards him. He at first flinches a little, then slowly walks over to them, "Hello..."
Match cheerfully replies,"Hello! What's your name?"
"....." Lunar remained at his spot while Match points his hoof at him.
"Grey Leaf." he states simply, his voice deep and slightly gruffly. "You?"
"Match Stick.", Match answers with the same ceremonial bow as before, "Good to make your acquaintance."
He blinks, "Matchstick. What are you doing?" He watches him curiously as he bows.
"I am looking for adventure, but this Yanmei creature seems to be a little too much for me to handle." Match sighs with disappointment. Then a spark of hope shines in has eyes as he declares, "But with your ponies help, we could defeat it together!".
"Sure why not." he says simply sitting down.
After receiving the reassurance of one pony joining him, Match turns his attention towards Lightspeed Flash and asks him, "Well, are you going to join in on the action too?"
"Sure I will join you." she said cheerfully "but first I need to trade for that book I will be right back in just a sec." "oh and nice to meet you Grey Leaf my name is Lightspeed Flash well of to get my book." she states cheerfully and dashes off to find the vendor with the book
"Well if your off to get a book, then we should start planning later when we are all finished with are business. So in the meantime I will see what that brooding ponies doing in that dark corner.", After saying this, Match starts walking toward Lunar Dusk in the alley.
Flash reaches the daring do stand and offers the sales pony her flight badge and takes it he and looks at it for a moment and puts it down on the table. "you really want this book for this badge?" he asks "Yes sir I really want this book so bad." she admitted then the sales pony looks at her and then the badge and finally gives her the book with a smile "here you go little filly" he said "oh thank you so much"" she said happily and she dashes off to where she was talking to Match Stick. she sees him walking toward a strange pony and tries catch up to him "so who is that I wonder?" she says catching up to Match
Stays behind, then goes back to the stands. Be begins browsing the flowers again...
Lunar watched as Match approached him.
Looks at the pony in the corner in the alleyway, and rolls his eyes. He didn't seem that impressed, and actually seemed more impressed with the flowers he was looking at then this dark and brooding pony. He touched his favorite flower, and slowly began to asorb it'c color, making the flower slowly turn white. The flower owner noticed this and growled a little.... and so instead of having merchant mad at him, he pays for the flower, and drains the rest of the color from it, the color now visible on the leg he used to asorb the color, as if it were being filled up like a drinking glass and only a little was poured in. He then takes the white flower and puts it in his satchel.
Match, finishing his approach, asks the mysterious alley pony, "Why were you just standing their watching us?"
"Ha, who wouldn't if there was a crowd discussing something...especially if they're planning to eliminate a waste of monster called Yanmei who killed multiple ponies." sneered the purple pony as he looked up at Match.
Match plainly asks Lunar, "Well if you really want Yanmei destroyed, then why don't you join us? One can never be to careful in these situations, or at least that's what Blaze said."
Lunar hesitated before responding to think it over on the possible outcomes. "Hehe...very well I'll tag along with you, we'll see how this plays out." he says.
Content with his answer, Match cheerfully says, ||"Great, it's always good to have allies when hunting monsters!". Just as he begins to leave, Match suddenly realizes that he forgot his introductions and says, "Oh, by the way, my name is Match Stick, Whats yours?".
Stormy was browsing the market, curiously scanning the wares that the merhants had. She didn't really know what she was doing exactly, this was a brand new experience for her, she had never been out shopping at a Market like this. After all, she has only been in this town for a small amount of time. Her ears had perked up when she had heard a few locals talk about some pony killing monster, such a horrible thing! She stayed a bit away from them, not wanting to get involved, but her curiosity still forcing her to want to learn more... ((Also I was Grey leaf, you can ignore him. i don't think he is suited for this RP.))
"Lunar Dusk" he replied.
Content with his new ally, Match continues on his way back home to plan. But not before giving Lunar a friendly and telling him, "Thanks! I'll be in contact!". (OOC, if Stormie wants to join she'd better speak now)
She trots over to the group, "Excuse me?"
"well hello Lunar Dusk nice to meet you my name is Lightspeed Flash" she turns to Match as he is leaving "bye and be careful" flash then notices somepony say excuse me and turns her attention to the new pony "hello what is your name" she says smiling "I know what we are talking about is no laughing matter but it doesn't hurt to smile and be positive sometimes" she says to anyone that can hear "oh I almost forgot where do you want to meet up Match?"
Lunar Dusk fades into the shadows after nodding at Match.
She thinks, "My name is Stormy_Skies A16-EQ-UNI-ECO, Stormy Skies, or just Stormy, which ever you prefer. I could not help but hear about this pony killing beast. I am curious, what is it?"
Match turns to Lightspeed and says, "I don't know Rainbow Falls very well, so I think it would be best if we just met up back here. I mean, if you don't have a better idea.". Then remembering his important appointment, Match races down the street towards his destination, but not before shouting, "I have to go now, see you tonight!".
