The waiting room is cold even with the heaters on at full blast. It's not a physical feeling, more of an emotional one. The stark white of the ceiling lights seem appropriate, given the situation. Some of the ponies there had known Nova since months, others only recently met him, but either way, the situation was just as shocking. The room was quiet, save for the ticking of the clock and the scratching of the hospital secretary's pen. Each time the door creaked open, several pairs of ears perked up, then drooped when they realized the call did not concern them.
Some lay here and there, exhausted from a sleepless night and unable to cry any more. Others were pacing impatiently, glaring at the clock as if willing it to move faster.
[Written by The Wandering Magus]
*Sleepless Night was sitting quietly, cuddling close to her daughter Miracle Dawn, who was on the verge of tears :'(*
For his part, Feather simply sat huddled in his chair, a numb, blank look on his face. How could this have happened? What could he do, when even the orderlies have failed?
Arca was also sitting, remaining still, and silent. Her face was a bit blank, and she stared directly forward. She was wearing a blank face, with a two thousand mile stare.
*Miracle fussed to her mom*
Shhh. Quiet Miracle... just wait a little bit... :(
Moonlight paced up and down the hall, restlessly cursing to himself, after hearing from Zappy what had happened.
"And so, with Ahuizotl defeated, and the sapphire statue secured, the world was safe and sound once again. Thanks to Daring Doo!"
Majem closed the book, and smiled at the pony lying in the bed next to him.
"Thanks a lot! I've been meaning to finish that book someday, but..." The earth pony lifted his front legs and smiled weakly. He had casts on both of his front legs and his family didn't have much time during the day to pay him a visit.
The book levitated back into Majem's saddlebag. "It's a pleasure! And it's the last few days. Your legs should be free again tomorrow and you may go for a walk."
"Yes, but I'll still have to spend another week at the hospital." He said happily. Being able to walk again was cheering him up very much.
Majem got up and closed his bags. He waved the earth pony goodbye and checked his list again. "That's it for today, huh? Oh my." Majem walked towards the exit to head back home, but the way out headed through the waiting room where several ponies sat down. The room had a saddening aura to it which even got to Majem. He walked slower and even wanted to sit down, the mood just got to him. Majem sat down next to Feather and stared at him expectantly, he didn't dare to ask him anything yet.
((Better?))
((a nice way to enter but there is a little problem. The ponies are in the waiting room. They didn't enter yet. Except for this little problem you are doing great))
((Right I think its time for my entrance))
The door to Nova's room opens Dr Kai stands there a stern look on his face he looks around and says in a fairly quiet voice yet loud enough to be heard by all "Family and friends may enter now but do not crowd" he walks back in the room chart still in hoof
*Sleepless saddled Miracle on her back and they both enter*
Moonlight finally sits down and waits, hesitating to enter or not.
Arca snaps out of it as the normal sounds are broken, and begins to stand, slowly following Sleepless and Miracle.
Inside the room, Nova is lying on the bed. He looks like he is just sleeping.
Aliski walks in with a smile on her face hoping that everything is alright, but when she sees Nova, she tries to stay strong, but she starts to cry softly, then hugs Nova.
*Sleepless walked next to Nova's bed, watching him with a sad look on her face :(*
*Miracle hopped off her mom's back and onto the bed with Nova*
Nova did not respond in any way.
He is in a deep coma.
Moonlight finally decided to walk in but sat by the door with a serious look.
Wh-what happened to him...? :s
Majem got up and followed behind the others. He really didn't want to, but somehow he got pulled in. Seeing Nova lying down in bed made him feel even worse than he already was. He sat down some way back, as to not get in the way of the ponies who wanted to be close to Nova.
"Dear Celestia, what am I doing here? I shouldn't be here. Why? Oh, no, no, no. Leave now." Majem kept saying those things to himself, but he couldn't move anymore.
The only thought running thru Moonlight's head was 'how could this happen..to Nova..of all ponies'. He knew Nova was a strong pony and he looked up to him as if he were like his older brother. Seeing him like this never once crossed his mind.
Moonbeam walked through the hospital doors and approached the desk.. She stood quietly waiting for the attention of a nurse or receptionist.
Aliski, just for one second thought that Nova may have moved or budged, but of course that didn't happen. it was impossible.
((better?))
Nova... *she tried to hold back tears :'(*
*Miracle crawled up the bed to Nova's head, and hugged it >.<*
((a lot better.
Would the doctor be so kind and explain the situation?))

((Dumb typos... x3))
Kai announces to the room
"Nova's condition isn't good Medically he is fine all vitals are intact and his heart rate is normal, blood pressure 27 and 43 BPM all is normal, yet he is in a comatose state "
H-how? :I
After a few minutes a receptionist lead Moonbeam to Nova's room. She entered quietly and join the others. She didn't dare look over at Nova.
Arca just stared at the bed, keeping her blank face. Her mind was thinking deeply. [glow=black,2,300]Coma. . .[/glow]
Moonlight only sat and stared at Nova wondering what caused him to be in this comatose state.
aliski had to know .wh-wh-what happened to him? how DID this happen?
Arca blinks once, and something flashes to her mind. She mumbles something, only a few times, and to herself.
Moonbeam looked at Aliski, she was glad someone said what was on everypony's mind.
((You know Sleepless asked how first right? lol))
Arca didn't exactly know what to say, being one of the first hoof witnesses of what happened. She started to get a bit jumpy, and stepped back a bit.

((sleepless didnt ASK first he Thought of it look back))nevermind
"Well we have run some tests and we called in some experts on magical knowledge from the Royal academy, and from that we determined that there is an issue with his mana energy"
*Miracle looked o.O at the doctor*
Arca pursed her lips, continuing to listen to the doctor.
he can't use magic?! Aliski thought it was unfair because, even as a landpony, she could use magic because her magic bracelet.
Moonlight listened intently knowing exactly what he was talking about.
I'm no unicorn...but doesn't it recharge...or something...?
Arca slowly walked over to Moonlight, and whispered something. [glow=black,2,300]"You were there, right?"[/glow]
Moonlight whispered back Only for a short time but I don't know what happened afterwards
[glow=black,2,300]"I'm pretty sure he over-exhausted his magic using a spell..."[/glow] She whispered quickly, and then soon returned to where she was.
Moonlight looked back at Nova and wondered what would cause him to do such a thing.
Aliski heard some whispers wondering what message they contain, but of course that was none of her buisness so she stayed quiet...
"will he recover?"
"Well in normal situations his mana would recover, because on a normal unicorn the energy recovers after an extended rest however this doesn't appear to be the case, something is preventing is mana energy from recovering and we are still running tests as to the cause"
Oh my...you don't think he's gonna... >.<
*Miracle begins to tear up, hugging Nova tighter :'(*
Aliski said . "I forgot why but, can someone reexplain to me why magic isnt the best thing to use for healing?"
((why is it taking so long for you to respond people?))
(( Be patient :P ))
Arca gulped, and remained silent. She waited for what the doctor had to say, and she shifted her weight to her right as she had a worried look on her face.
Moonlight sat there with a concerned look and hoped that the answer wasn't what he was thinking for Sleepless and Miracle's sake.
"well we have tryed but the paitiant doesnt apear to be reacting to normal mana treatment"
((sorry im busy at this pont so slow reponces are expected))
Just answer my question...can he ever...wake up...? :s
"at this point I can not say for certain"
:o
*she turned to Nova* Nova... :'(
*Miracle started to cry D:*
"Well there may be one thing that could help this is strictly off record ok" Kai shuts the door "there is an herb it's known as the starflower blossom it's a near extinct herb which has the potential mana medicine though its existence is questioned but it is possibly one of the few chances Nova has I'm sorry"
Arca's face went from a normal blank face to a sadder face, filled with concern and worry. As she hears of the flower, her face brightens a bit.
Moonlight stood up. Where can the herb be found?
*Sleepless picked up Miracle and hugged her tight, trying to calm her down*
ever since Aliski found the bracelet on a train track, it has always been a goodluck charm. she turned to Nova, took off her bracelet, gently placed it on his right hoof, and whispered "good luck, we will find it"to Him
Arca slowly looked around. Her enlightened face turned blank after a while, with the doubt of the flower even existing filling her mind. "If something bad can happen, it can, and will happen." Those words rung in her head like a bell was in there.

"
Starflower?!"
Nopony had heard the quiet pony in the back, but as they turned they saw Feather Scroll staring at the doctor in shock. "
Surely you must be.... but you're not. Celestia, Starflower. Mtia uzima. If you think those are the only viable means of healing now, then we might as well go finding the Tree of Life itself! Do you know how much one of those things cost?! Even a single pod?!"
He looked at the others' questioning eyes and sighed. "
Nopony has any idea what I'm talking about?"
Arca turned her head to Feather, with her own relatively sharp hearing, she responded. [glow=black,2,300]"Uhm.. I don't really.."[/glow] The young mare said. She actually didn't have a clue what Feather was saying.
Does it matter what they cost, compared to saving Nova's life...? >.<
Quote from: Rad Thunder on 2012 Oct 20, 17:27:08

Feather increased his volume a bit. "
It's not just the monetary cost, the pods themselves are nearly impossible to get without serious injury!"
When he saw that literally nopony had any clue what he was raving about, the academic slowed down, adjusted his glasses and explained clearly, as if from an encyclopedia.
"According to the Plants section of the Royal Alchemical Society Encyclopedia of Potion Components:
Mtia uzima, a Zebracin plant whose name in Modern Equestrian means "Life Giver", is a parasitic Jewel-Plant which feeds off of maisha-mwizi, Life Taker. It is immune to Maisha Mwizi's sapping effects. The two are almost always found together in thickets deep within the Everfree and the Zebracin Desert. When the jewel-like pods of Mtia uzima are cut off and opened, the liquid life inside may be used to heal any wound, restore health, reverse aging and even perform necromancy. Mtia Uzima has been called the "Tree of Life", though a more apt description would be "bush of life" since it rarely grows taller than a few hoof's height off the ground. The immunity to Maisha Mwizi has yet to be replicated consistently, though immunity armors are known to exist among Zebra Alchemists, some worth as much as a trillion bits per piece. Mtia Uzima pods are highly desired throughout the world, and there is a thriving black market for stolen pods.
Additionally,
Maisha-Mwizi, a Zebracin plant whose name in Modern Equestrian means "Life-Thief", is an omnivorous Jewel-Plant which feeds off life itself from other creatures. It saps life force from organisms in contact with the plant, although the Jewel-Pods need direct physical contact to initiate the sapping. Interestingly, the Death Thickets of the Debracin Desert are actually full of completely intact remains of various long-extinct animals, due to the sapping effect removing any bacteria which might otherwise decompose the bodies, creating a nearly sterile environment. Regardless of the risk, Zebra Alchemists are known to venture into these Death Thickets wearing Immunity Armors in search of the plant's rare parasitic cousin, Mtia Uzima. The pods are highly illegal in Equestria, and extremely desired by assassins and government agencies alike. There is an enormous black market for these pods."
...
Umm...English please...?
((And I only have one speaking character, so if it's my post, it's Sleepless))
Moonlight sat there getting angrier every second. He didn't want a history lesson, he didn't care about the risks, all he cared about was helping his friend.
[glow=black,2,300]"But..."[/glow] Arca stopped, knowing if she asked a question it may lead to another lecture, and she probably wouldn't understand it, either.
"Long story short: the plants are only found next to plants that SUCK THE LIFE FORCE OUT OF YOU FOR SUSTENANCE WITHOUT EVEN TOUCHING YOU."
Feather sighed.
"I know what they say about being willing to lay down one's life for a friend. But I'm asking whether each and every one of you would be willing to take that risk, and potentially make that sacrifice."
Aliski was in Awe of the knowledge of Feather, when she noticed Moonlight's anger, she quickly grabbed her bracelet back and whispered telepathically to Moonlight""relax. he is only tring to help, if were going to find these flowers we have to know what risks come with them"
Eep... *She cringed in fear*
*Miracle fusses*
[glow=black,2,300]"Cant one of the two of us use magic to levitate it.. Or would we not be able to..?"[/glow]
Something glows in Nova's vest that is hanging at the door. It's in his pockets.
*Miracle fusses more, reaching at Nova's vest on the door*
What is it sweetie...?
(( I bet its the book... ))
Arca didn't notice the glowing coming from the vest.
Moonlight started to doubt everyone's want to save Nova other than Sleepless and Miracle then was about to walk out until he saw something glowing in Nova's vest. Moonlight reached in and checked the pockets.
Vick broke out of a (box, drawer, crate, ect.)
Hi Everypony.
The young unicorns head immediately snapped towards Vick's voice, and she gave him an evil eye, and with some good reason, too.
((Really? :l))
Eep! *Sleepless jumped*
*Miracle cried again*
Kai looks about the room keeping reasonably calm checking the equipment in the room
"It's a possibility as a Professional I can't recommend this, As a pony I'm saying its the only concoction I can come to"
It is a small book. As moonlight takes it out it becomes bigger and an empty page opens.
It writes on itself.
((Really? You didn't expect Vick to do that, enough of this flame war, Back to RP))
:I Uhhh
(( I KNEW IT! THE BIG, MAGIC BOOK! ))
Arca then eyed the book, turning towards it. She slowly begins to walk over, with wide eyes.
Don't scare us like that! Look, you made my daughter cry!
*Miracle cried on D:*

[glow=black,2,300]"Cant one of the two of us use magic to levitate it.. Or would we not be able to..?"[/glow]
"
Magic is intrinsically tied to a pony's life force. Reaching out with magic is essentially the same as reaching out with a part of you, from which the Maisha Mwizi would then sap your life. The only way it can be harvested is physically, and then with all the risks associated with coming within range of the plants. But, if you are willing to take that risk for Nova... then I will most certainly take the risk myself. All I wanted to know was whether you truly understood what you were getting into."
Moonlight looked at it confused. I can't read what's on the page.
:I
Oh ok Vick cried softly and sped to the other side next (anypony besides the ones that are afraid of Vick ^-^)
[glow=black,2,300]"Okay. . ."[/glow] She paused, and thought a bit, her mind fuddled. She had to take the risk, being that was one of the only friends she had, and most of her life was just friends.
Anyway...this sounds dangerous... >.<
((show the book to the others. One of them might be able to read it))
aliski looks at vick
she thinks : where have i seen you before?
Moonlight turns around and shows the book to whole room. Can anypony read this page?
Arca slowly walks over. As slow as she reads it, she shakes her head.
*Sleepless looks at it, and shakes her head*
*Miracle stopped crying and reaches at the book, wanting to look*
Majem was still hiding away behind the other ponies, not making a noise as to stay unnoticed. He had listened and understood everything being said, except for the small whispering conversation between Moonlight and Arca.
"So, everypony but the scholared one is in some way befriended to this pony. And by the sounds of it, this'll be one dangerous trip." Away from sight, he smiled for a moment, then returned to his neutral expression. "I'm all ready."
He looked up when the others mentioned a book, but he knew already that he couldn't decipher anything. Instead, he looked over at Feather.
Quote from: Lusterless Nova on 2012 Oct 20, 17:50:07

Feather looks carefully at the book. "
It seems... hmm... Those of you who... I think it says 'read'... this,
Take note that what you... 'are up to'? is dangerous. I don't recall exactly what language it is, but I can understand the words. I have a feeling that it's either Draconic or Zebracin, but I'm not sure."
If that is what it says then we already know that part.
Vick listens intently, seeing if he can catch anything.
But still...where do we look for it...?
The letters fade away and new appear.
Now what does it say?
Quote from: Lusterless Nova on 2012 Oct 20, 18:12:25
The letters fade away and new appear.

Feather squints and adjusts his spectacles.
"
interesting another pony who can... I think that means 'comprehend'... what i say. I am the will and... Can't tell precisely which word it is because of multiple definitions, but in this context I'd have to go with 'soul'...
"during my existence, I had... a lot of names... script? scroll? no, I think it's 'Book of knowledge'... and that's a strange desclension, but since it's a title and a noun, then 'knower of the unknown'. Give me whatever name you want."
Feather stepped back as he realized what was happening. "
It... you... wait... if you are so wise and all-knowing, why do you not simply write in words all may understand?"
the letters vanish. the next moment it wrote with the symbols again but they vanished and where replaces by normal ones.
I wanted to know if there is one of you here worthy of my knowledge.
Vick listens watching in Awe.
Moonlight thought only one thing at that moment. Stupid book with an irritated look on his face.
Wait...Nova told me he had a special book...so, are you that book...?
*Miracle fusses, wanting to see the book*
throughout the time feather translated, Aliski recorded into her braceletevery word, because she knew they would be important.
Indeed. He is my current owner. And from what i see he is in danger.
Vick looks around at everypony.
Arca was listening, and slightly reading what it had to say. She held her blank face as she read it.
Yes. He's in a coma because he used alot of magic...I'm worried that he'll never wake up... :(
Aliski was kind of angry at the book for saying that someone specific was worthy of the knowledge, Nova is, after all, our friends.
then the thought came to Aliski, that book is reading my mind isnt it? if my bracelet can read minds, there is no doubt that that "all knowing" book can read our minds too
If this keeps up it will be worse.
From what i've heard you already know the cure. But i have to tell you that this flower no longer exists. Or to make myself more clear: it doesn't grow anymore in this world.
No! That that means....Nova's... >A<
*Miracle began to tear up more :'(*

Feather snorted. "
It may not grow, certainly, but the pods most certainly continue to exist. I've seen them, and if I'm not mistaken, the gatherers down in Zebraci would tend to disagree with you. Bar an asteroid collision, the Death Thickets should be thriving."
The unicorn slowly began to develop a frown, but a thought struck her. [glow=black,2,300]"Not in this world. . ."[/glow]

The same thought struck Feather. "
Oh you ARE a trickster, aren't you. So many definitions to choose from, such vague messages."
Your informatons are not... up to date.
Ironically, Nova was send to extinct this flowers a year ago. But you are right in one point. While the flowers may not grow anymore, some with various needs obtained some of them before nova arrived.
A guild of thieves obtained some a while ago.
So... there's still a chance...? o.O
Where is the guild of thieves?
Vick listens
Why does this have to be sooo complicated. Can't you just tell us what to do?
[glow=black,2,300]"Life is complicated, and nothing is simple.."[/glow]

"Sent to wipe out the flowers?!" yelled Feather, rising to full volume. "HOW COULD HE?! THOSE FLOWERS ARE THE FLOWERS OF THE TREE OF LIFE! THE CURE FOR AGING! THE ESSENCE OF LIFE! THE VERY ELIXIR OF IMMORTALITY! THERE'S A REASON THAT EACH POD IS WORTH MORE THAN THE FORTUNES OF KINGS! OF EMPIRES!"
*Feather's yelling makes Miracle cry again D:*
Quiet! You're scaring my daughter!
Moonlight glared at Feather. If you make that foal cry again these flowers won't be the only thing you will be yelling about.
A wise choice of words arca rela.
And take note that i only tell you what you have to know. Quote from: The Wandering Magus on 2012 Oct 20, 18:46:31

Even if you don't like it. Everything has an end. And even though they may have been of good use for some, there has been too many violence through the effort of obtaining then. The history of it is written in blood.
The book is right about one thing. There doesn't need to be anymore meaningless bloodshed over such a thing so I support what Nova wanted to do.
Shh. Shh. It's okay sweetie... *Sleepless was too busy calming her foal to listen*
an awkward thought cam to Aliski's mind: If the history of it is written in blood, and the book is written about it's history....
I should stop taking things so literally
Agreed Vick said looking up at all of them.
Arca was spectating the entire conversation, trying to absorb as much knowledge as possible.

Feather's expression became cold, like liquid nitrogen poured over a fire. "
Sent by who. Who wrote you. Who made you."
That is not of your concern.
*After Miracle quieted down, Sleepless asked* Can we just know where we can find these seeds...?
Quote from: Lusterless Nova on 2012 Oct 20, 18:58:00
That is not of your concern.
"
It is every bit our concern. If Nova was put into a coma in a quest to destroy that which sucks life from those that come near them, I want to know who it is that sent him. Unless it was YOU who sent our FRIEND to his DEATH."
Like i said: None of your concern.
And about the pods. What will you do if i tell you about them. Will you repeat history? Will you shed blood in order to safe your friend like thousands before you?
Moonlight felt like making a small rip in it's page for thinking they would be like that but restrained himself.
Aliski, listening to the conversation was wondering if this was too innapropriate for a little filly like her.
what is it? do the seeds of the good flowers contain the bad flowers as well or something?
Do we have to hurt ponies to get them... :(

"
I would plant it. Study it. Feed it with bacteria, with plant matter. Then harvest the life. And then there would be no more sickness, no more death. No more pain in this world," said Feather quietly. "
No more... loss of irreplaceable wisdom and knowledge to age."
What do you say we burn the book? OR It can give us the info we need to expand life Vick suggest.

[glow=black,2,300]"I don't know if you could burn that... It is magic, afterall."[/glow]
"now now no starting fires in my hospital or you will all get kicked out"
Don't burn it! It's Nova's book... >.<

That's stupid cause then you put yourself at risk then it'll just be more bloodshed all over again. I say we get what we need from it then destroy the rest. Why condemn more ponies to bloodshed by keeping it around..

Oh sorry, Tell Dr. Mavel her son says HI! Vick said.
The page erased all signs. Looks like it is waiting.
[glow=black,2,300]"I didn't say it couldn't end, I just don't think that burning it, tearing it to shreds, or using magic on it would work. It would take the owner to destroy it. The only way to get it off our hooves for along time is to lock it up in a vault, or bury it, or anything like that."[/glow]
"To repeat the question:" Majem said, a little louder than the others were talking. "Where is this guild of thieves?"
Why is it that when we find a source that gives life a boost it never gets found or gets destroyed by a pony? Vick asked (forth wall LOL)
You did not give me a good answer to my question yet.
What will you do if i tell you about them. Will you repeat history?
It did not seem to worry about being damaged.
We're gonna save your owner's life with them...
Moonlight turned the book towards him. No. I don't care about everyone else's reasons. I just want to save my friend.
No, We will not repeat the action of death Vick said in a taunting complex maner.

Foolish little Vick. The thieves will not trade it. They know how valuable the pods are.((Give it just one more try))
OH! Aliski facehoofed. It's a Parodox, Nova needs the flower to survive, the flower needs the bad flower to survive, and the bad flower kills everyone, BUT,feather said he would feed it with something else,therefore solving the parodox. Dont you get it guys! we dont need bloodshed!
Quote from: Lusterless Nova on 2012 Oct 20, 19:17:47
You did not give me a good answer to my question yet.
What will you do if i tell you about them. Will you repeat history?
It did not seem to worry about being damaged.
"
As I have said, I would not shed blood and create violence in its name. I would multiply it for the good of all ponykind rather than horde it for myself."
Quote from: sorikuXIII on 2012 Oct 20, 19:12:09
That's stupid cause then you put yourself at risk then it'll just be more bloodshed all over again. I say we get what we need from it then destroy the rest. Why condemn more ponies to bloodshed by keeping it around..
"
Then you would condemn countless innocents afterwards like Nova who would need it? Why does the existence of these pods imply bloodshed? Life is meant to be shared, not horded or stolen."
Vick became cross We meant our selfves, WE won't die. Maybe they will but WE won't. Foolish little Book. Vick retorted.
So...nopony will get hurt...? *confused*
"Whatever we'll do with them, anything better than what those bandits are up to with them, I suppose." He thought to himself. Everypony was talking again, so he couldn't get a word inbetween.
Majem closed his eyes again and hoped for somepony to find a solution since they didn't seem to be getting anywhere like this.
Moonlight looked at the book. It wants a definite answer which none of us are giving. At this point we will continue feeding it answers and get nowhere.
Yes, well not us anyways Vick expalins
[glow=black,2,300]"Why don't we just figure this out ourselves, instead of wasting our time with that.. Book."[/glow] Her soft voice had crumpled under the situation, and her voice was more sour, and serious.

A fine answer. There is another way to let it grow. A replacement. I can show you the way where to find it.
But this solves only one half of the problem.
How will you obtain the pods?
[glow=black,2,300]"We're going to have to sacrifice to save, are we not? Or, we could just horde as much bits as possible, and buy that armor.."[/glow]
we can google it?
"Ahh, questions. More and more, isn't that lovely?" Majem thinks to himself. "Seems like we're getting somewhere, though."
I...don't know... >.<
*Miracle reaches for the book again*
((Really iamepic? :l))
It's like I said. It wants 'set in stone' answers and it wont help us until we provide it with them but we did take another step forward with that last one.
:l Vick was quite annoyed
Blood shed? Sounds uneeded.but tasty

forget about step 2, let's start with step 1, you said you can show us the way
Yes indeed, you want more answers? shoot. Vick said.
There is a relic of old ages. It's power is to create lifeforce. You can use that to let the flowers grow without making it take the life of those around it.
Then...we need to find that relic, right...?
what exactly is a relic?
At the start of creation, from life itself you were born. But where did it come from?
It is a mystery.
Some of this life force was gathered and materialized. You will find it.
When you did so, i will speak with you again.
A page fell out of the book. Then it closed itself.
Quote from: iamepic061 on 2012 Oct 20, 19:45:30
what exactly is a relic?
"
An object surviving from an earlier time, especially one of historical or sentimental interest," said Feather without skipping a beat.

I told you the book can be ripped!
But, but... where do we look for it...? >A<
That book is a jerk... Nah. Still, touchy for a bow full of pappers. Oh well. So If nopony has a plan on where to go, We got one. Vick says.

((Stop... If you won't be serious...))
"Well this certainly changed into a strange event, one of the more odd cases I must say hmm"
Kai looks to the ground and picks up a piece of paper
"What this I wonder part of the chart?"
Whats it say doc? Vick asks

so the source of life was turned into matter?
The page has writings on it.
Lost in darkest Blue
Endless Memories weaving through
Will you run away,
With no star to light your way?
Light and Darkness change
even the colors re-arrange
will you cry or stay
or will your mind just slip away
It is in the same colors as nova's coat.
*Sleepless looks at it* What's all this mean...?
*Miracle tries to look at it too*
(( I don't think there's internet in Equestria, really. ))
[glow=black,2,300]"What does it say?"[/glow]
"I'm unsure it most likely a riddle to the where the relic is at a mild guess Light and darkness change hmm sounds familiar though its properly not the same context"
((I'm referring to another OC so I don't actually know also agreed on the internet thing probaly doenst exist))
Moonlight just sat there with the closed book taking it all in since deciphering things wasn't his forte.
lost in darkest blue
Umm...I'm not good with riddles...
like Nova's coat.
...
Guys! imagine the poem being read SPECIFICALLY to Nova.]
"Interesting in some ways it describes the inner mind, some of this sounds very like a physiology theory"
[glow=black,2,300]"Maybe its inside.. Nova? Or his mind?"[/glow] It was a wild guess.
In Nova's mind...but how...? :s
((I will solve it for you... tomorrow. It's getting late here.
The answer will be posted at the OCC
Good night))
Neither are we, Riddles arn't our thing. But poetry? yes. Vick says
"we have stayed here a long time. let's all meet at this hospital again tommorow. goodbye!"
I'm going to stay here...with Nova...
*Miracle nods*
Not you Miracle. You need sleep.
*She gives a ono face*
"there are visitor facilities here its uncommon for them to stay with a patient in this condition...But I can sort the paper work, there is a pull out bed in the wall just attach the clip and it will stay down"
Thank you...
"you're welcome, Now I'm afraid I must see to some other patients but if you have any more questions I'll be glad to answer them "
Aliski wakes up at 12:00 am. She researches many many books and gathers many tools and materials.
By 7:00 am, Aliski finnally built her metal wings and claw
afterwards, She instantly falls asleep.

The night passes slowly. There is no cause for it. There is just the shadow of doubt in your dreams and confusion in your mind the whole night.
As the first rays of the sunlight shine on the land, the night finally finds it's end.
*Sleepless was asleep in a chair next to Nova. Miracle stayed as well, but was up and looking at Nova's book oddly*
Dr Kai returns in the morning a chart in hand
"Good morning to the both of you, im sorry about the poor accomidation"
Moonlight sat in a corner, asleep, holding Nova's book not hearing anything.
Arca had fallen asleep in the lobby, and soon woke up, barely able to open her eyes.
*Sleepless yawned and woke up* I was fine...I can sleep anywhere fine... ^-^
((Uh soriku. I said Miracle was looking at the book. :P))
((if you ask me there shouldn't be a problem with Moonlight holding the book while Miracle looks at it))
((I guess I should've put 'reading', but Miracle can't exactly read yet... :P))
*Miracle crawls over to Moonlight, trying to reach for the book*
Moonbeam lay on the floor, she tried to avoid looking at the others.
((I still don't know what's going on..))
((Im just questioning the logistics size of this room to fit so many ponies in))
((also so far Nova is in a coma after the events of another RP, you know that medical treatment isnt helping due to him not regaining mana now Nova's book holds information on a herb that could cure him and thats about it other than the book speaks in riddles))

Magus explained what kind of flower that is.

((Oooo okay, thanks very much you two.))
Dr. Feather Scroll stepped off the train platform, sighing. He had intended to stay either at his parents' Canterlot residence or a local hotel nearby the hospital, but apparently there was a dinner party there last night and all the hotels were booked. Rather than go to the Academy's dormitory, the scholar had simply taken the train back to Ponyville; he got discounted passage as an Academy professor and researcher, and he preferred his own bed back home.
As he hailed a taxi to get to the hospital, he smiled slightly at the little lunchbox bumping along in his saddlebags. Juniper was a busy salespony, but she always had time to make him something special for the day. It was one consolation in these recent few days, what with Nova in an almost-incurable coma and all.
Arriving without incident, the unicorn hurried up the marble steps and took the swiftest route to the intensive care ward, using his identification papers as a researcher to get him through a bit faster. It wasn't exactly what the papers were meant for, but today all he wanted to do was see Nova's face again, even if Nova couldn't see him.
*Miracle stared at the book in Moonlight's hooves. her horn began to glow*
Kai checks his watch "If you would excuse me, I have a small matter to atend to, Ill return shortly"
Kai heads out the room and to the main reception area where Feather is filling in forms
*the book glows similar to Miracle's horn. It floats up out of Moon's hooves and in front of her*
Miracle...what are you doing...?

Feather looked up from his papers. "
Ah, Dr. Kai, good to see you, sir."
He levitated the papers to one side and offered a hoof.
Kai shakes Feathers hoof
"Good morning Dr Scroll, I guessed you would arrive around this time, don't worry too much about the forms here" Kai hands down a visitors badge with note on special clearance
"I thought I'd come down specially since you helped with the diagnostic evaluation after all"

The scholar took the badge and smiled. "
Thank you very much. If there's anything at all I might help further with, I'm always available." His tone became slightly more serious. "
How is Nova, by the way? Any improvement?"
Moonlight unconsciously feels around for the book then wakes up and sees Miracle with the book. What..how..when?
The book doesn't let itself open. It's own will keeps it locked up tight.
*Miracle tries to open it*
Sorry Moonlight. She levitated it out of your hands...
Kai looks down
"No change I'm afraid"
Kai raises his head
"but there is something private I wanted to discuss with you, though I'm afraid it's a bit unprofessional of me to say"

Feather tilted his head. "
Yes?"
It's alright. It doesn't seem to be opening so no harm done. he said stretching and trying to wake up completely.
"It's about that book, it's obviously magical and powerful at that, I think we both have dealt with slimier forces before, though its not affecting any of the machines or equipment which I find odd, what exactly are we dealing with in there"
*Miracle looks ono from not being able to open it*
Sweetie, that book is special. I don't think it wants you to read it...
After dosing off once, twice, thrice, or more, Arca finally sums up the energy to get up, and walk over to Nova's room.

"It's about that book, it's obviously magical and powerful at that, I think we both have dealt with slimier forces before, though its not affecting any of the machines or equipment which I find odd, what exactly are we dealing with in there"
Feather was silent for a long moment, thinking the question over. "
To be honest... its riddles and tone would otherwise brand it similar to the creatures stored in THAT place, but as it seems to be able to control its aura, the power and age of the artifact must be phenomenal. It may even be on par with that of a mutual friend of ours." An odd light came to his eyes as he looked at the doctor, but the look went away. "
No, not on this assignment. But that means it cannot be taken at its word. No, every word, every phrase, every sentence must be analyzed in minute detail. THEY are not prone to outright falsehood, but rely mostly on the folly of those who would have their own minds twist the words they hear."
He looked up from his musings. "
What think you, doctor?"
Moonlight walked over to Miracle and picked her up letting her keep the book in her grasp.
*Miracle held it up, as if asking if he can open it...*
Nova was still in his coma. While his condition is not getting better it at least also is not getting worse.
He looks like he is just in a long peaceful slumber.
Miracle as much as I would love for you to skim those pages and possibly use another spell that may hurt everypony in the room..I don't think I want you to look in there.
I had considered similar hypothesis Dr, and that entity hasn't revealed its true intentions other than to give information, though I myself did not converse with it, It.." Kai pauses
"It still worries me that hope may over look reason, though we may not have time to do more research into said matters given the situation, hence why I asked your opinion before I decided"
Arca gave a small knock on the door, and slowly creaked it open.
*she gave her ono look again*
He's right Miracle...I don't want you learning spells that can hurt somepony...
The page that the book gave away levitated to the group. Almost like it was saying "solve me"
Moonlight looks at Miracle with an expressionless face.
*Miracle looked at the page, reaching for it*
W-what's going on?
The page stopped levitating and fell into miracles hooves.

"
It worries me as well, but in this situation, at least, I assure you that my every decision will be based strictly on reason. I cannot, of course, account for the others, but what little I have seen of their decisions and actions tells me that at least a few of them are just as logic-minded." Feather smiled. "
I simply hope that a cure is found, one way or another. If only I could synthesize-"
The unicorn waved his hooves in the air, face twisting in frustration. "
Oh, what fools these ponies be! They speak of bringing peace to the world by destroying its one hope for overcoming that final obstacle to curing all the world's ills! Why, whenever science and magic is on the brink of understanding the true nature of life, of solving the problems of the world, must the opportunity be yanked from our grasp?! 'Tis a poor excuse to say that something must be destroyed in the name of removing greed for it! If it were multiplied, if its secrets were understood, there would be no need for violence and bloodshed!"
He stopped, and sighed. "
I'm sorry you had to see that. I'm not prone to go on rants like this, but... surely you understand, as a fellow intellectual, as a doctor, do you not?"
What could darkest blue mean...
*Miracle lowered the paper and looked at Nova*
Miracle..do you have an idea what that might mean?
((sorry but i have to leave again. I forgot that it is sunday today.
If you can't make much process i will send "the other star" tomorrow.
In ether case: Have fun))
((Ok... was not expecting that))
"Well... yes its can be an issue, expectably considering some of the worlds chaos but Dr I'm afraid I must ask you watch your tone we are in a hospital and shouting may disturb some, in addition we should not really be on a subject of personal opinions while I'm on duties, professional conduct if you can understand"
((Sadface. :())
*Miracle fusses as she looks at Nova*
Nova? What about him...?
Well Nova's coat is a dark blue..maybe that's why she's looking at him. he said as he got closer to Nova.
So...It has got something to do with Nova...?
But how could Miracle know that? Can you read sweetie?
*Miracle simply giggled*
Aliski enters room extremely tired (stayed up too late) she trips and falls over and over then she finnally finds a chair to sit on.

Oh, it's you...I don't believe we've met...
"oh hi. i'm askila" aliski says so tiredly she cant say her name right
Miracle you are one amazing foal. he said ignoring the other conversation.
Well, hello Askila...
I'm Sleepless Night. This is my daughter, Miracle Dawn...
*Miracle laughed*
who is askila? Aliski says wondering."wait, im really tired let me just go to sleep for a bit then ill be less clumsy."
Aliski instantly falls asleep
Oh my...poor dear... :s
Moonlight looked over the page again. Well if the darkest blue refers to Nova then the word 'star' does too?
Well...I guess, but that still doesn't tell us where to look...
Arca slowly entered the room, looking around. [glow=black,2,300]"Did anything new happen..?"[/glow] She asks in her soft voice.
You're right. he said as his ears flattened.
Well, we figured out...or rather Miracle figured out that wherever this relic is, it has something to do with Nova...
[glow=black,2,300]"Oh. . . Okay."[/glow] She shut the door behind her, and sat on the floor.
Aliski wakes up.
ok! im fully rested and perfectly energetic. My name is Aliski not Askili, and i may have found out how to get the flower without being harmed!
Oh. So that's your name... ^-^
And you have? How?
well i think i might have but, i spent all night working on this:
takes item out of saddlepack
A grabbing arm...?
*Miracle looks at it curiously*
[glow=black,2,300]"Whats... Whats a grabbing arm?"[/glow] It sounded like a stupid question, but Arca legitimately didn't know what one of them was.
The definition is in the name.
So...how will that help us get the seeds?
"well, if you touch it you die. but who said you couldnt use something that isnt alive to pick it up" Aliski suggested
[glow=black,2,300]"But.. Once you touch it. . . Can't the plant use it to suck the life from you, using that?"[/glow]
I...see...
But we still need to find the relic, and we don't know where it is. All we know is it has something to do with Nova...

"Actually i dont think so, you adults always think the answer is so complicated, but sometimes it can be just as simple as..." Aliski holds up the grabbing arm
[glow=black,2,300]"I guess I am pretty tall for my age. . .[/glow] She thought. [glow=black,2,300]"But can't the plant use that as a curr.. Conductor?"[/glow]
"I reaserched plenty of books, as long as we dont touch the metal part, we are fine."
But again, Nova's book said we need that relic that gives life force to protect ourselves...
[glow=black,2,300]"Oh. . . Well. . . I think we'd be safer with the relic."[/glow]

With no star to light your way?
then we can change it to
Will you run away,
With no Nova to guide your way?
and if Nova is guiding us..."Aliski pauses
"guiding us to where?"
Yes, me too...but we don't know where to look... :s
*Miracle looked at Nova again*
"If Nova couldve guided our way, it must be someplace Nova knows about! does anypony have any history on Nova?"
*Sleepless suddenly frowned* I...don't. Which is strange, since we're so close...
Quote from: Coffee Rush on 2012 Oct 21, 20:09:51
[glow=black,2,300]"Oh. . . Well. . . I think we'd be safer with the relic."[/glow]
"the relic is only for growing the seeds, we have to get the seeds in the first place."
((are you guys online))
(( Had to do something ))
[glow=black,2,300]"I don't know anything about Nova either.. Or his background, anyways.."[/glow] She said, followed by a mumble to herself.
((Somepony's impatient... I was busy myself...))
Can we find out where he's been maybe?
"The book said "the relic" was the creator of life, so i was thinking looking where I was born, and then the poem said Nova could have guided us somewhere, mix those two thoughts together and what do you get? You get one question. Where was Nova born?!" Aliski is exited for figuring some things out, if Logics were a subject in school, Aliski would get an A+ with extra credit.
Sounds...right. Then...how do we find out where he was born...?
*Miracle looked out the window*
"Let's go to the library, see if we can find out anything about nova's past."
((i said library because it's the only thing besides internet))
Library where?
*Miracle fusses while pointing out the window*
What is it Miracle...?
[glow=black,2,300]"Yeah. . . We could."[/glow]
"because of Miracle, maybe we don't have to go to a library."
((You :l dont know where there is a library in equestria?))
((As in which library))
*Miracle pointed out the window, toward the city of Canterlot*
Canterlot...?
[glow=black,2,300]"Canterlot.. If I remember, isn't there an Archival Library?"[/glow] She said, and thought something in her mind. Maybe she could check her own family.
"I think we need to go get some train tickets to canterlot"
((you have one phycic foal.))
[glow=black,2,300]"How much are the tickets, though?"[/glow]
((She's something special... :]))
Okay...I need to go pack for the trip though.
"Allons-y!"
((Let's go in french))
Aliski skips home to get ready.
[glow=black,2,300]"So do I.. But I don't have much to pack."[/glow]
*Sleepless trotted up to Nova and nuzzled his cheek* We'll be back Nova...I'll be back... :s
*she leaves the hospital and heads home to pack*
((Guess I'm set for when we restart))
Arca does the same, following Sleepless.
(( Well, we have to because nobody I here to moderate it, and we can't go a long way without the rest. ))
((ok me and Magus are about to be abandoned also but I do have a piece of character knowledge that may be of use, think about Kai's profession you may see where I'm going with that))
Majem happily skipped into the hospital, ready for another day of helping out the sick ponies. He had forgotten about Nova and the deadly lifebringer plant, until he saw Feather and the Doctor at the main reception. The sight of Nova, the magical book, it all came back to him.
Majem slowly approached the two ponies to ask them about Nova. "Hello, doc. How is.." Majem then realized that he doesn't know Nova or any of the ponies from yesterday. "... he doing?" He continued, with a serious change of tone in the last bit of the question. His eyes switched from the doctor to Feather, hoping they wouldn't question him about Nova.
((You guys didn't move, right? I don't think I've seen a post saying you moved from the reception area.))
((well the original depiction was walking and talking but this is fine gives me a chance to talk again))
"Good morning to you, the patient is still in the same state as last night, no changes or abnormalities"
Majem's ears flattened after hearing that. His worry of getting caught turned to compassion for the other ponies. "And, have you ever had something like this? I mean, do you know how long he can last like that?"
There have been cases of mana infuctuations before this case seems different ,but his vitals are stable and the IV and feeding tubes are keeping him stable, but as for when he wakes up, I cannot medically say
"It's best we get that flower, then?"
After a while, the door to the lobby opens, and Arca steps in quietly, looking around. The only thing she had brought was a custom built saddlebag with her cutiemark on it, a shield, and wand. It looks jam packed with stuff.
*Sleepless arrives back at Canterlot station with a pair of saddlebags. Miracle is on her back as always*
((so where are you planning to go? I will cooperate with your ideas and think of something depending on wherever you go))
((Well we suggested Canterlot Archives, so Sleepless needs to meet up with everypony else first. :P))
*She heads to the hospital to see if anypony else is there*
(( Well, for now, the Canterlot Royal Archives. Or soon, anyways. ))
The young mare looked at the door to the lobby opening. [glow=black,2,300]"Oh, hi."[/glow]
Hello Arca. Have you seen the others?
[glow=black,2,300]"No, I haven't, but they must be somewhere near here."[/glow]
I hope they show up soon...I want to hurry along and get this relic. The quicker we help Nova, the better... :s
[glow=black,2,300]"Yeah. . . I hope so. . ."[/glow]
*Miracle leaned over and began to reach into Sleepless' bag*
Arca watched the filly, and remained silent.
What are you looking at...? *she looks back and sees* Miracle! No!
*Miracle looks up with a ono face*
((I'm definitely not sure where to go from here with Moonbeam.. e.e ))

((Ok... was not expecting that))
"Well... yes its can be an issue, expectably considering some of the worlds chaos but Dr I'm afraid I must ask you watch your tone we are in a hospital and shouting may disturb some, in addition we should not really be on a subject of personal opinions while I'm on duties, professional conduct if you can understand"
Feather politely waited for the doctor's conversation with the other ponies to finish before speaking. "
Again, apologies. Perhaps sometime during your off hours the subject might be brought up again. Regardless, the ramifications of utilizing the one and only known cure is... astronomical, to say the least."
He sighed. "
Anyhow. Might I go see how he is doing? I know he's supposedly fine medically, but I just wanted to see him myself. I wonder where the others are."
Majem turned towards Feather, realizing he interrupted a conversation, he quickly apologized. "I'm terribly sorry, sir! I was just so worried that I didn't realize you were talking."
Majem sighed, too. Annoyed by his rude behaviour. "But, how did you know all that stuff, yesterday?" He placed a hoof in front of his mouth after he asked the question.
"Interrupting again." He thought.
"hmm to which information are you refering to sir we shall walk and talk to get there faster, or I may waste your visitng hours with simple chat"

Feather pointed at himself questioningly. "
Myself? Or the doctor here? I'm sure he is quite a medical professional well versed on potential cures. As for myself, I hold a doctorate in inter-magical forces and have been studying alchemical spell components as a part of my research for the past few years. Rare though it is, and according to a certain resource of questionable reliability extinct, the Starflower and its deadly cousin are not exactly unknown among thos who study such things."

Feather nodded and began walking with the doctor.
"How will you get the flower, if it kills you?" Majem asked as he watched the two ponies walk away.

"
That's the question," smiled the researcher grimly, pausing and turning to the pony. "
There do exist armors which can replicate an immunity to the life stealing effect, but those are extremely rare and expensive due to lack of understanding of the precise method in which the effect is nullified. Provided resources with which to experiment, I may be able to discover the secret, but it will most likely take quite a long while. Perhaps the others have come up with a better alternative. If you would like, you could join us as we walk, unless you are busy with something."
[glow=black,2,300]"What was Miracle grabbing for, Sleepless?"[/glow]
"Hah simple I have no idea, but we shall think of somthing when we have more details, I dont want to give a false diagnostic unfortunatly"
Kai walks forward ((presuming you two are following)) and stops outside Nova's room

"
I do hope the others have thought of something..." muttered Feather as he motioned for Majem to go ahead of him.
I think it's some books I packed for her...
[glow=black,2,300]"Oh, okay.."[/glow] Arca replied. She looked around.
Surprised by Feather's motion, Majem quickly caught up with the other two ponies as they headed for Nova's room. Even though he didn't know Nova at all, he couldn't just do nothing at this point.
If you want a book Miracle, ask me first. Okay...?
*Miracle looked up at her and pointed to her pack*

Arriving at the door to the patient's room, Feather looked at the doctor. "
I hope all these visits aren't bad for him..."
There should be no problems, its a mana cause rather than a viral thing so vists should be fine, and I think he would prefer the company, as for now I have a small matter I need to atend to, so please do contact me before you all continue"

"
Thank you doctor," smiled the researcher as he entered the room.
"Will do, doc. And thank you." He said and followed after Feather.
That's better... *she pulls out a book and opens it on her back. Miracle smiles and looks into it*
..I'm getting tired of waiting... :(
((how about you tell them about the note Sleepless and Arca?))
[glow=black,2,300]"So am I.."[/glow] Arca says, standing up from the chair. She begins to pace around.
(( Okay, soon. ))
*Sleepless pulls out the note and looks over it again*
So...the relic is in Nova's hometown, but we need to know where it is...
((are you all still inside Nova's room, or elsewhere?))
Feather walked into the intensive care room, his eyes immediately going to Nova's still body on the bed.
((I don't know anymore. Let's just say yes, Nova's room. lol))
[glow=black,2,300]"Yeah... What about the note?"[/glow] She keeps conversing with Sleepless, ignoring Feather.
I'm a little worried about this last passage here...
((Could we get a recap of that plz? :P))
"So you've found more information?" queried Feather as he walked up to the miniature herd.
((you mean the text of the note?))
Quote from: Lusterless Nova on 2012 Oct 20, 19:57:32
The page has writings on it.
Lost in darkest Blue
Endless Memories weaving through
Will you run away,
With no star to light your way?
Light and Darkness change
even the colors re-arrange
will you cry or stay
or will your mind just slip away
It is in the same colors as nova's coat.
(( Here. ))
"Or perhaps you've found new meaning in what information we were given?"
((Thanks))
Yes...What does it even mean...? :s
(( Is 'That' supposed to be 'What'? ))
Arca listened to the two.
((Oh whoops. :P))
Feather looked at the note. "This is the passage we already saw the other day, is it not? What can you discern from its words?"
I don't know...but it doesn't sound good... :s
*Miracle looked up from her book and tried to look at the note*
