The sun rises in the east and the first rays of light shine through ponyville.
The Hotel "Hay and Stay", which is located not far from the station, opens it's bar and kitchen. The employees get to their work and one guest after another wakes up.
At home, Teal packs up some supplies he'll be needing for his return trip to the desert south of Equestria.
Some water and food of course, 2 dozen medical herbs in a plastic bag, binoculars, a compass and a couple of small digging tools in case of sand becoming an issue.
Once he's all packed, Teal exits his home and flies off to the Hay and Stay hotel and enters.
*Heartful and Silver gallop toward the Hay and Stay*
You sure we got everything?
If my jacket were any more packed, you would notice.
At the cafeteria, a buffet waits to be eaten away.
A small sign stands at the table.
Free for those who were ordered here.
Artemis was sitting in the hotel, doing nothing. She had two bags, both of medium size. When she sees Teal, she stays silent, simply awaiting what's to come.
Teal sits in the lobby with his bags, setting them down on the floor next to him. He stretches his wings since he hadn't before he flew down.
*The pair enter the hotel and look around*
So...where are we supposed to-
Hey look! A buffet!
Back at their home, Range starts packing up some of her alchemy equipment in her saddlebag: mostly some crystallized elementals and some strange gemstones. She leaves all the basic tools in her room and packs a small vial filled with water and a few mangoes to bring along the trip.
Price on the other hoof, since he hardly has anyrhing he would ever need to travel, he just simply brings his fedora with him on the long trip to the south. After the two finally packed, they started out for the door, but Range first yelled back in the livingroom.
<Range> : Alright, Crimson, we're going out now. Dunno when we'll be back, but take good care of the house, would ya?
<Crimson> Don't worry, I can handle myself just fine. YOU Just watch yourself in the desert.
Range and Price just kinda giggle a bit as they exit the house, leaving Crimson to take care of it. They both start heading towards the hotel...
Teal yawns and looks at the Rescue Duo, then at the buffet he somehow missed at first.
How did I miss that? o.O
Artemis stands up, as its already getting a bit crowded. She cautiously looks around, just to see which ponies were, and weren't coming.
*Heartful takes a plate and stacks it high with food. He balances it back to his table where Silver was waiting*
The buffet has most kinds of fruits and some simple dishes.
((make something up))
Teal gets up, leaving his saddle bags on the floor by his seat and walks to the buffet table. He grabs a bagel, some grape jelly, an apple, and some butter and walks back to his seat and sits down. He spreads the butter on his bagel and takes a bite.
They both finally walk through the doors and takes a small look around, noticing the only familliar face in the entire room. The both of them smiled as they went over to greet him by the buffet Table
<Range> Teal, great to see you here. Like for you to meet a friend of mine, a nice little changeling I picked up a few months back.
Price tips his hat off to Teal with a smile as Range started taking her seat and looking at the menu, unsure of what to be eating.
<Price> They call me "Price" Mr.Teal. It's nice to meet you!
<Range> Ok... Strawberries, Apples, Pears, lettuce... If there's a bowl around here I could make a nice salad.
Teal looks at Range when he greeted him.
Great to see you too Range! You have a changeling friend? Wow, hello there Price! :3
Teal rubs his head gently.
You don't have to call me "Mr Teal", Teal is just fine. ^-^
Artemis, being silent, moves toward the Buffet, leaving her stuff in the lobby.
Vick packed:
4 Shovels
Many Packs of his Liquid of Life
His Armor
And loads of Water!!!!
He was on his way and gaining a head start on the sun. "G-G-G-G-G-G-!" He chatered all the way there (He's fast because he's small and the air is a bit chilly :D)

((And how are you a head start on the sun if the sun has already risen?))
Price chuckles a little bit.
<Price> Heh, alright then, Teal. I was actually brought here by miss Range here. I made one sale with her that earned me enough money to take a train trip all the way to Equestria! It was one happy day for me, but now that I'm here, I'm honesly not sure what to spend my money on anymore, since the only reason at first I became a merchant was to get to a better town, but I've grown attatched to it and I have all this surplus money lying around.
<Range> Heh, so, we decided to shelter him if he agreed to help me and Crimson pay off the bills and keep the house running. I'm glad we did though, money flow has been rather stable ever since he came into our lives. I've been trying to find some way to repay him but...
(( XD Btw, Vick, dear lord, 4 shovels?))
Price starts to smile
<Price> No need to Range. You've already given me one great gift : A new home with others I'm comfortable with. In all honesty, I couldn't ask for any more.
((so what is going on and how can I jump in))
It sounds like you really love Equestria Price. I'm glad you're happy here. ^-^
It's also so nice of you to help pay off the bills for Range's house! But can I ask?
You're a merchant? How did you get started and when?
Nova sits at one of the tables and reads a book. It's not usual book.
He also wears something else.
It seems like he didn't notice the group yet.
((we all are in "Hay and stay". The story didn't start yet.))
((you can be sure we know that :)))
Quote(( XD Btw, Vick, dear lord, 4 shovels?))
((you'll see :D))
Vick slamed into the ground outside with a load thum (yes thum!) (Plus Armor...)
Marcy and Faust are heading to the hotel
"Hurry Faust!. I do not want to be late!"
"We were here first if you did not waste any time in putting all those herbs in suitcases that I'M taking."
Upon entering the hotel, Marcy eyes shone.
"Look! A buffet! Put down those bags and let's eat!" once said, she went to the buffet table and took a plate.
(Sometimes that girl makes me crazy) Faust sighed, reached Marcy, grabed a plate and took some fruits.
flame arrives at the Hay & Stay he has his cloak and hood on covering his eyepatch
*Heartful begins to noisily eat his platter*
Quiet down Heartful. Ponies are staring at us!
Artemis sits down at a table near Nova. She seems to be ignoring other ponies.
Vick got up, surprised that the fall actually hurt him. He adjusted the blue back pack (gift from Spaz for the trip) and walked in, taking his helmet off.
"We're back!" He said looking at the group.
Nova turns to Artemis.
Excuse me. Could you borrow me a pen?
Price sighed and sat down for a moment to think.
<Price> Ah... Where do I begin...? Well, it all started back when the Canterlot Invasion started to take place, but for a long time many changelings have been wanting to escape the Hive Queen, Chrysalis for several years. Elders say she was much more peaceful before, but later turned corrupt, lusting for control and land. In the 20 years I've spent in the hive, I never quite understood why majority of the hive so blindly idol their queen, how they idol a tyrant who looks to take all she can receive. But anywho, back to the invasion; it was also an opportunity for a large amount of us changelings to finally escape the hive and live out lives of our own. My hundreds of brothers and sisters... I honestly don't know of what happened to them, but, It's been quite some time since we've last made contact. But for the ones who are ok, I hope they've started to make a living, despite the name the Changeling have made for themselves thanks to that act our queen had played on you all.
Range sudendly gasped with excitement when she saw a particular fruit and grabbed as many as she could.
<Range> Pomegranates! Yes! It's been forever since I last had one of these wonders!
(( XD Everyone posts a little earlier than I thought ))
*Silver leaves Heartful to his breakfast and walks around looking at the others*
The purple eyed pony looks up, and at Nova, hesitating for a moment. "I don't have one.." Artemis thought a second, trying to remember his name. He looked familiar to her somehow.
That's interesting, I guess that explains what happened to so many of the changelings that scattered all over Equestria. But when did you start being a merchant? You didn't get to that part.
((Vick I find it rude to cut in on our conversation like this, especially since there are other people who don't have anyone to talk to. I think you should try Rad's OC, Silver))
*Sigh* Well. Thanks anyway.
He turns away from atremis and focuses some mana. He summons a ghost dog, a boxer to be more precise.
It walks over to the reception.
Vick glances at Silver then walks over
"You part of the team?" Vick asked warmly.
Artemis tapped him on the shoulder. "Hey.. Do I know you by any chance?" Her voice was hoarse and monotonous, almost dry.
Yeah we are!
Marcy and Faust after taking what they wanted, choose a table and start eating.
Quote from: Rad Thunder on 2012 Dec 29, 18:15:58
Yeah we are!
"Alright then" Vick said smiling a bit more
"We're a fighter you?" Vick asked further.
No. I'm a healer. Heartful over there is a fighter. *points to the pony in the hat eating hastily*
The Ghost boxer comes back with a pen in his mouth.
Nova takes it and turns to artemis.
I'm not sure. I think i saw you in ponyville sometimes but i don't know your name.
My name is Lusterless Nova. Feel free to call me Nova. Nice to meet you. :)
Quote from: Rad Thunder on 2012 Dec 29, 18:17:59

"Ah, very cool. We'll try to keep the sand away" Vick joked lol.
"Oh, you owe me a pot, don't you? I'm Artemis. I believe we've met." Artemis looks to the ghostly dog, not very frightened by it.
Prince chuckles a little bit as he thinks back
<Price> Ah yes, when I first began my life as a merchant, It was actually about.... Maybe a month or two after I had escaped the Changeling Hive and left Equestria. I started up in a small little country named Pisa; Range, I'm sure you remember Pisa. In all honesty, It was hard to come by a few bits every now and then, but then again, most of my merchandise were just basic potions you could buy from anywhere; why bother buying them from somepony random out in the market place, let alone a changeling? Anywho, I began to realize I'd need to start feeding somehow eventually... Uh, let's just say there are some things I never should've been watching, but that's aside the point; I had to stalk somepony every now and then to actually feed. And... Some strange ponies actually ALLOWED me to feed off of their love if I payed them. But Pisa was honestly a rather rough environment, kinda afraid of that the ponies there will either rob you or pile drive your head in the dust. I... Honestly don't know how I lasted as long as I did in Pisa without having SOME kinda trouble; Guess being a shapeshifter makes things easier.
Range could be seen right beside Teal cracking open a pomegranate and digging her entire muzzle inside as she delightedly chews on the seeds.
That may be tricky. We're going to a desert after all. lol
Nova pats the dog's head.
Really? I though sleepless gave you one.
My Apologies. If you still need one i can give you one right now.
"Very true... But We were born in the desert!" Vick said happily (little known fact)
Then the ghostly god caught his eye.
"Dog?" Vick looked over in disbelif.
"Dog???" He repeated.
Wow, that's interesting! How did you solve your feeding problem and where did you go after you left Pisa?
"Ahh, no thanks.. I already have one in my bag. So.. How's life?"
So was Heartful. He feels at home there. :]
The ghost boxer looks back to Vick. Even it's eyes are transparent.
Good. I am healthy and alive. And my family is doing very good, which makes me feel better every day.
What about you?
Vick grabbed Slilvers neck skin (like a shirt colar) in fear
"Is that a D- Dog???" He said looking at the ghostly figure...
Ow! Hey! Let go!
Marcy looked around and noticed the other ponys
"Many ponies have come for this mission, I wonder if they're friendly."
"Hush, they might here you. Now finish your food, we'll need energy"
Price sighs
<Price> Well, problem is, I never got over feeding. I'm a changeling; We're known to feed off the love of other individuals... but I've always hoped for a permanent solution... Just some way to finally be like everypony else, but, suppose a male can dream, can't he? Anywho, I actually went back to Equestria after I met Range in Pisa... And I'm wondering if that was a good or bad Idea... Starting to actually have nightmares about my former Queen. I'm only thankful they aren't rather vivid and intense, yet, but, Just a small spook when I'm asleep.
Range raises her head up, her muzzle still dug in the pomegranet and she spoke with a muffled voice.
<Range> Maybe he's still somewhat connected to the hive.
Price turned to Range, not sure of what she said as He scratches his head.
<Price> I'm sorry, come again? :s
Range throws the Pomegranate's shell on the table and spoke once more, except clearly.
<Range> I said maybe you're still somewhat connected to the hive.
Vick let go, bug-eyed
"Sorry sorry, Is that a D-d-d-d- Dog?" He said getting scared.
You mean like an ant hive where the ants are forever sworn to server their queen upon birth?
*looks over* Yes, it's a dog. What's the big deal? :l
"EP!" Vick freted and swooshed under a table in a corner...
"We hate dogs" He whispered.
Uhh...okay... :\

What about you?
"I can say the same. So.. Are you here for the expedition?"
Vick stayed in the corner shaking.
"M-m-m-m-m-" he chattered, watching the dogs everymove.
<Range> Precisely.
Price sighs and slumps down in his seat as Range goes back to eating the 2nd half of the pomegranate
<Price> Still, there's no way I'm ever going back to the hive; there's no way I'll return to Her...
:(
Teal scoots his seat a bit closer to Price and puts a hoof on his back.
It's okay, you won't. You're free now and nopony can ever make you go back.
*she sighed* I'm gonna go back to my table now... *she goes to leave*
The dog fades out like a ghost.
Well technically-
He was cut off by an announcement.
Dear visitors. The main hall is now free. Desert team members please go there.
I guess that are us. Let's talk later.
Nova stands up and leads the way.
Artemis nodded, walking to the lobby to grab her two bags. She headed for the main hall.
oh? I guess it's time for us to go now.
Teal quickly eats the last of his bagel and puts his apple and grape jelly back, then grabs his saddle bag and heads to the main hall.
Vick looked around for the dog, sniffed the air then leaved the dark corner to follow the others, happily humming a tricky tune.
"Marcy, let's go"
"Okey-dokey"
Then both headed at the main hall.
Let's go Heartful, we're needed.
But I'm not finished with my salad!
*Silver pulls Heartful into the main room*
Nova opens the door and holds it open for everypony else.
Over here.
The 2 of them looks up to the sound of the announcements and looked at each other. Range starts packaging pomegranates in her saddlebag before going on and Price turned back to Teal with a smile.
<Price> Yeah... Thank you. I'm free and nothing can ever change that, but I just wish I didn't have to stalk somepony just to feed. Anywho, sounds like we're being called. Let's move on, shall we? Range?
Range had already packaged about 6 pomegranates and looked up with the renaming 2 she's holding, unable to fit them in her bag. She simply just holds them in her forehooves and moves on with Price, moving bipedally, but in a wobbly manner.

Nova opens the door and holds it open for everypony else.

Teal walks to the front row and moves all the way to the left and takes a seat.
Artemis acknowledges Nova, sitting in a second row seat, putting her stuff in front of her. She was prepared to heal any pony in need, but wasn't fond of any pony either.
Vick clamps his helmet on and flew above the rows of seats to sit in the front row, eager to hear whatever will be said.
Aside from the seats, tables and the group nopony is there.
*Heartful and Silver squeeze into a seat next to Teal*
Marcy and Faust sit on two random chairs close together.
This is odd, shouldn't there be a pony he-pfffffff hahaha! Teal laughs seeing Heartful and Silver squished together in one seat.
That is adorable! :3
Range and Price both takes their seats in the left row behind Teal and Price looked at Range,who was holding all of the fruit.
<Price> I'm sorry, but did you really need to bring that much with you?
<Range> Noooooooooooooo, but They're good :D Say, you have your bag with you?
<Price> No, why?
<Range> I need someplace to put these last two... Wait, how about under your hat!
<Price> :l You're kidding... You're kidding, right?
Range Quickly places 2 pomegranets undeneith Price's Fedora, who seemed to just stutter a bit then just had a whatever look afterwards.
<Range> Does that answer your question?
She gave him a sheepish grin.
What is?
*Silver holds her own laugh*

Vick looked over with his souless helmet on... and decided to take it off
"Looks like something Ginger would do" Vick joked.
You two. Teal points at the two young ponies.
Well, why waste a seat when we're both small enough for one? :]
Teal giggles and pats Heartful on the head.
Good thinking. x3
I know right?
*Silver giggles*
"Agreed" ^-^
Right. So, you two are....Heartful and Silver right? We met once I think.
As the last pony walks in nova closes the door and walks to the table at the other end of the room.
He puts his book away and in the same moment his expression changes. It becomes serious ((like the avatar))
Attention everypony.
Listen up and wait with your questions until i am done.
He waits for everypony to calm down.
After a moment passes he continues.
I am Lusterless Nova.
As you may have heard, there is a unexplored desert which's location is hidden for the public. Half a year ago a team explored it. I was one of the members.
Back then we thought that everything there would be settled, but recent investigations show that something is wrong there.
For some reason the desert starts to spread. If this keeps going, equestria will tun into a desert in less then 50 years from now on.
This is the reason why you are here.
I want to go there again and investigate the source of this. But going there alone is nothing but suicide.
Aside from the hot days and cold nights, we will have to deal with the Desert's predators. Sandworms, snakes, scorpions, and even magic enemies like Golems.
I will be honest with you. This will be dangerous. But we can't ignore this danger.
Do you have any questions?
Yeah, can I go back to the buffet? I'm still hungry.
*Silver elbows him* Ow!
Excuse him...
Nova? What of the Sand Dogs we befriended before? Will they help us?
Can you estimate the time we will be there for
WE LOVE GOBLINS! :P
Price listened to Vick and raised a brown for a moment at him, not sure Vick is entirely sane at all.
Artemis' hoof shot up. She had a question.
Quote from: Teal Turken on 2012 Dec 29, 19:08:01
Nova? What of the Sand Dogs we befriended before? Will they help us?
I tried to contact them but for some reason they seem to be gone.
But don't worry. I can assure you that they are not dead. I'm sure they just left the area where we last met them.
Quote from: FlameandIce on 2012 Dec 29, 19:08:22
Can you estimate the time we will be there for
If we move out tomorrow we will be there in less then 2 days. We will first take a train and from a specific station we will walk.
He seems to ignore vick for the moment but he turns to artemis.
What is it?
Vick laughed insanely with bearly any breath to spare, then continued to smile happily, eyes full of life and creativity.
(( can i just put star in a dark corner or something because i'm kinda late X3 ))
((sure. Just say you were there before the group.))
Vick you should calm down, I can barely hear Nova over you. o.O
Star's face is beaming :D ooo this is exciting he finally blurted out revealing that he was in the corner
"What's the known fauna?"
(( Dogs n' werms, is the guessed answer. ))
"Oh, sorry Teal" Vick smiles and shuts up for good.
Aside from sandworms and the just mentioned Sand dogs, there are also snakes, scorpions, various kinds of birds and small mammals. There could be more though.
hmmm...uh...how long do we have before we leave? I could rush home and get some medicine for poison.
Anything unidentified :D
I can take 'em! *he reaches into his jacket and pulls out what appears to be a disk*
Indeed, How long? Vick inforced.
Price looks to Teal and then opens his mouth
<Price> Which also reminds me, I should possibly head home and bring back extra supplies X3
I would like to leave ASAP. But if you need it you can have one day to prepare.
And you back there. Don't think this is some kind of fun trip. The desert is a dangerous place.
Yeah, I think some extra time would be nice. I think I'll need to bring more than what I have.
so is there anything that doesn't what us dead
We're already packed and ready. ^-^
Indeed. Even for a Lava Pony Vick called out to teh pony Nova was refuring to.
Quote from: FlameandIce on 2012 Dec 29, 19:26:13
so is there anything that doesn't what us dead
Uhm... maybe the plants. There are not many though so i doubt that counts.
I know I know but it can still be fun :D
Range twitches a little bit and sighs, a bit aggravated.
<Range> Sadly I won't be able to do much alchemy in the desert, at least on a large scale. This is going to be a bit more than I bargained for, is it?.
"Uhm, mr. Nova, what do you think we might find there? I mean, except for the fauna and the flora." asked the young mare
Artemis kept listening, thinking about the sand worms, and other peculiar animals.
Quote from: Weremetalwolf on 2012 Dec 29, 19:28:55
"Uhm, mr. Nova, what do you think we might find there? I mean, except for the fauna and the flora." asked the young mare
Not much. The desert is almost empty. Well... At least that's what i guess. There might actually be something but i have no proof of that yet.
Any last questions?
Vick clamped on his helmet and shook his head (no)
I'm good lets go soon
*Heartful and Silver shake their heads*
I don't have any questions. :)
Good. You have time until tomorrow's sunrise.
If you came from somewhere far feel free to stay here. Your rooms will be paid for.
Thank you for your time.
Alright, I'm gonna go get extra supplies for this!
Teal gets up from his seat and leaves the room, exits the hotel and heads home.
Nova leaves the room and goes back to his seat.
opens his book and writes in it again.
A free place to stay? Cool!
Let's go find a room!
*they hop off and gallop to the lobby* Rescue Duo away!
ok i'll see y'all tomorrow :D Star bounced out
Vick went to the train station and put his blue backpack on the caboose rooftop, then headed home. (Need to give Patch and Ginger a little goodbye-love-you speech, They'd miss him.)
Artemis stood up with her bags, and walked into the hallway, setting them both down. The earth pony sat, opening one of the bags, sorting through the items, bored. Very bored. She only knew one of the ponies here, and that was just one.
((Tell us when we Time skip to when we Leave :) )) ((If we made a mistake... Cool beans brother))
"Yay! We have a free place to stay! Isn't it awesome?"
"If you say so..."
They both headed to the lobby, and Faust took both his and Marcys bags.
"I hope you didn't forgot anything..."
"*gasp* I forgot my brush!"
he sighed (Oh Celestia give me strength)
Shard was listening and he nodded. He had packed a few items along with the normal items in his saddle bag. He got up from his seat in the room and walked into the lobby.
Bloom had overheard of the expedition from Willow, whom she babysat. Bloom thought it would be nice to do something different like for a change and thought of joining as a medic.
She had been listening quietly as well and she returned to her home to give a "good bye" to her family.
[Timeskip]
The next day begins. The sun did not rise yet, but nova is already awake and waits outside the hotel.
*Heartful and Silver exit the hotel. Heartful looks a little peeved*
Flame walks out of the hotel his hood on
Teal exits his home early, having taken a shower just before leaving. Along with his water, food, small dig tools, binoculars and herbs he now has tent supplies, additional medicine, a large cloak and a rimmed hat to protect him from the sun.
Head returns to the hotel, meeting up with Nova outside.
Artemis was also wide awake, having taken a shower, and a walk outside. She sat outside with her stuff.
Faust and Marcy go to the hotel entrance.
"*yawn* Mornin' everypony..."
"Marcy, get an attitude, excuse her. Good morning, have you slept well?" he asked the group.
Nova turns to the group.
Good morning. Have you prepared yourself?
Teal stops and waves a hoof to Nova.
Yep! ^-^
It looks like Teal's hat has a cloth face covering that comes down off the hat to protect his face from the sun too.
Nova takes a look at teals hat.
Looks like you want to prevent a sunburn too eh?
Yep! We're ready!
I guess...
All set Vick stated
All ready
"Yes." Artemis responded, still in her monotonous, dry voice. She grabbed her violin case, checking it for dents.

hehe, well we're not gonna be underground as much I'm guessing so I thought some protecting from flying sand would be a good idea. x3
"Eyup we're ready! Aren't we Faust?"
Faust just nods.
Vick taps Nova on the shoulder.
"Say, you think we can get (have) a signal up in the desert? We have a friend who's an expert in teleportation and if we can contact him from there, then we can actually use him to get to Ponyville and back in a flash" Vick explained.
It is a good idea. That's why i wear these goggles and the robe. Sand is a nasty little problem.

Vick taps Nova on the shoulder.
"Say, you think we can get (have) a signal up in the desert? We have a friend who's an expert in teleportation and if we can contact him from there, then we can actually have a portal right to Ponyville and back" Vick explained.
(Not an actually portal, he just can be used that way)
Sorry but there aren't any signal towers. We take the train as planned.
Nova turns his head to the station and sees a train incoming.
There it is. Let's get moving.
Yeah!
Whatever...
*they both head for the station*
Flame starts towards the station
Right!
Teal walks to the boarding platform of the station.
Artemis quietly walks to the station, carrying the bag like a saddlebag.
"Spit, Alright lets go." Vick said and got ready to get on the train.
Marcy and Faust followed the group to the station.
Shard walked outside of the hotel. He walked over to the group. He has saddlebags that have an appearence of being light. He follows the group to the train station.

Bloom slips into the group. She keeps her arrival quiet and looks around at the other members on this expedition. She also has saddlebags, but they look a bit fuller. Strangely, she listens to others. She is nervous as she has never done anything like this before. She walks with the group to the train station.
The train stops at the station and opens it's doors. It has only only passenger cart, one for luggage and one for coal.
Aside from the train driver nopony is on the train.
Nova boards it and takes a seat at a table.
Huh, small train. o.O
Teal boards the train and takes a seat near the middle.
Artemis gets on, going to the luggage compartment. She puts her luggage in there, returning to the passenger cart and sitting near a window.
Vick takes out his Flocky Talky
"We trust you got it on the train?" Vick spoke
"Yeah yeah, Its in the top luggage compartment" VC answered back
"Good" Vick answered back and crushed the device with a strong hoof to the ground, then boarded the train, looking up at all the high places were it could be...
Flame gets on the train and sits in the back
*The duo enter and Silver takes a seat* Sit here Heartful!
Nah, I'll find another seat.
Huh? But- *before she can object, he was already moving down the car*
Vick are you looking for space for your luggage?
"Nope" He said pleasantly
"Trying to find it... Found it!"
"Here" He said holding out one of his cloud shovels down to Teal with his wing.
"Take it" he offered further.
*Heartful grabs a seat further back*
oh, sure. Thanks Vick!
Teal takes the cloudshovel with a hoof.
"No Prob." Vick said happily and threw the bag onto the seat across from Teal. Then sat on it to feel taller.
*Heartful can be heard sighing*
Hey Vick, you ever thought of carrying a booster seat around with you? x3 Teal teases.
The two entered in the train
"What a small train..."
"Yeah, yeah... Let's have a sit before it leaves"
both set up their luggage, or better Faust did so, and they sit down.
Vick was (seemingly) clueless about the insult "We're strong enogh for that and it'd be nice to wack Changelings over the head with... But... Ginger wouldn't like it. Plus is seems a bit colt-ish" X3
Teal laughs at Vick for a minute, then boops him on the nose.
You're silly Vick.
"And your fishy" Vick said and repeated what Teal did.
:I
x3
Good one Vick.
"Cha-voo-ski" Vick blessed
So Vick, where have you been? I haven't seen you in a while, what have you been up to?
"Ah... hiding under a rock, predicting the changleings next move, craking skulls, carving faces... The usual, just a little extreame." Vick said happily and layed down on his backpack.
Sounds like fun, glad you're back.
"Indeed. It is good to BE back. We keep it encased in Diamond feathers" Vick compared.
...you keep what in diamond feathers? o.O
((Can nopony hear take a hint?))

*Heartful can be heard sighing*
((It's just Vick and I, sorry))
"Haha, never mice Teal" Vick said and opened his sack.
Hey Vick what did you bring?
Flame hears Heartful sighing and walks over to him
"Hey, uhm Heartful was it?, what are you singing?" Marcy asked to the singing pony
Quote from: Weremetalwolf on 2012 Dec 29, 21:24:53
"Hey, uhm Heartful was it?, what are you singing?" Marcy asked to the singing pony
((sighing, not singing))
((Heartful's the colt. And he was sighing. :l))
I don't wanna talk about it.
((FAILURE lol))
Quote from: Teal Turken on 2012 Dec 29, 21:22:34
Hey Vick what did you bring?
"Liquids of Life, Shovels, Water, Our Armor and a Picture of Ginger, Patch, and us." Vick explained, holding out the pic.
Teal looks at the picture and smiles.
You have a good family Vick, don't forget about them. Ever.
"Oh we won't. Not even changelings can tear us away from them." Vick said putting the photo away carfully.
"We may seem carless with this bag but its really protective and durable" Vick said.
I wouldn't count on a bag to save your life Vick. :3
((Derp de herp sorry X3 ))
is there something wrong
We only got one bed at the hotel...
Quote from: Teal Turken on 2012 Dec 29, 21:31:02
I wouldn't count on a bag to save your life Vick. :3
"You're Right, Thats why we intend to sleep in it" Vick said slipping off it to look up at Teal.
(How did I get the :3 face in my last post?)
To...sleep in it. You could sleep with me, I brought a tent.
so are you tired
((I can't believe that I read singing instead of sighing *facehoff* X3))
"We will make a long journey, are you sure that you don't want to get rid of that burden? It will make you feel better"
"Haha Alright Teal, But its a sleeping bag, not a tent" Vick said holding the bag up a bit with a smile.
No...I slept well until I woke to Sliver cuddled up to me...
Quote from: Vick McBread on 2012 Dec 29, 21:37:56
"Haha Alright Teal, But its a sleeping bag, not a tent" Vick said holding the bag up a bit with a smile.
That's a pretty neat sleeping bag. x3
You can still come with me in my tent if you want.
"Will do, We'll try not to take up much space. Just zip us in and set us in the cornor"
The tent is kinda spacious so I can put my stuff around it, I'm sure they'll be space for you too.
"Thanks Teal" Vick said and looked through his backpack one more time.
Teal looks through his bag to do one last check of his supplies.
"So, what's wrong with that?"
"How's Nala?" Vick asked considerately
She's my friend! That's why!
Nala? She's fantastic! She grew wings a while ago and got a new cutiemark too!
"Wings? Odd... And a Cutie Mark! Great what is it?" Vick aksed eagerly.
Nala has a talent...for glass harp! :3
"That's not really a big deal, it was just an accident."
"Awesome, you got a mare of music" Vick complimented.
"But she plays it all day." Vick said
Like I said, I don't wanna talk about it! *he turned to the window*
*Silver's head was peeking over her seat looking back at seats behind*
uh...well she practices a lot. x3
"Haha, Practice makes permanent" Vick advised
Don't you mean perfect? o.O
"Nah, the saying is flawed, Its actually permanent" Vick informed.
I don't understand. o.O You're gonna have to explain it to me.
Jenzy flies to the train. He lands by the door, and his wings disappear.
Well then. A new adventure awaits!
He said to himself and entered the train.
"See Teal, When you do something the wrong way for a long time, it becomes a habit. See now?" Vick said pleastly.
*Jenzy sees a filly with a starred cape looking back into the train car*
"Marcy, if he don't want to talk about it, just him be."
Marcy approached to Silver and asked him with the most adorable eyes she could make.
"Why?~ I wanna know, can you tell me, pwese?" ono
...oh, I get it now. It took me a second to get what you mean. x3
((Silver is nowhere near them, and is watching from a distance))
"Its ok. We like explaining things. We explain things to Patch all the time" ^-^
Well, Patch kinda needs the explanations doesn't he? x3
N-not that I'm saying your son is stupid!
:\ Huh... Um, hello there...
He said to the caped filly.
Oh, hi... *she sits back down*
Quote from: Rad Thunder on 2012 Dec 29, 22:09:20
((Silver is nowhere near them, and is watching from a distance))
((sorry I forgot to mention that she had approached to Silver. I can't think well today :o))
Uh, have we met? :s
"Hahahaha, Nonono. Its Fine, We understand." Vick said jolly-ly
"He's just so full of wonder, Always wanting to learn..." Vick said imaging Patch now, then turned to Teal.
"Teal, when you have a filly or colt. Fill there head with the truth, along with creativity." Vick advised.
I don't know... *she was preoccupied*
hehe, I~ think you can say I already have both. x3
"Good." Vick said with a warm smile.
Mmm... We'll talk later. You seem pretty busy. :\
He looked around the train to see if there were familiar faces...
Yeah...
Hey, Jenzy? Jenzy!
Flame sits back down near Teal
"Jenzy?" :o Vick looked were Teal was yelling.
Teal waves out of his seat at Jenzy.
Jenzy, over here!
((Well, now you can try Weremetalwolf))
Ah, there's one. Hello Teal. :)
"JENZY! GET OVA HERE!" Vick helped cherrfully.
hehe, Vick he sees us now. x3
Hello Jenzy, when did you join?
Vick just sat and listened. (AH ANOTHER CHANGELING TO GO ON THE LIST :3)
Jenzy trots to them,
Oh, just a while ago. I heard about the new location. Oh, and I love exploring new things! How about you two?
Quote from: Rad Thunder on 2012 Dec 29, 22:24:16
((Well, now you can try Weremetalwolf))
Marcy approached to Silver and asked him with the most adorable eyes she could make.
"Can you tell me what's wrong, pwese? ono"
Artemis was sitting near the back of the passenger cart, looking restless. She had her head leaned against the wall, and when the train hit a small bump, she hit her head.
Me too! But you may not know, I've been to this desert before!
I don't know...Heartful's just been in that mood since this morning.
"We came to protect Teal here. He doesn't need it as you might know but its our pleasure anyway." Vick explained.
"Maybe he's just happy to spend some time with you." she said with the most innocent expression.
Ah... Well, there could still be undiscovered areas. I'm also on the look-out for those.
He took out paper from his saddlebag.
Maybe illustrate the map too.
Dlame listens to Teal Vick and Jenzy
((For the last time, Silver is the filly, Heartful is the colt! And Heartful is the miserable one))
That sounds like a good idea, I don't think any of us drew anything like a map.
Quote from: Rad Thunder on 2012 Dec 29, 22:38:38
((For the last time, Silver is the filly, Heartful is the colt! And Heartful is the miserable one))
((If anypony can't look at the name and guess hes a colt, there is something wrong with the name... according to Saber Sparks OC Diagram...)))
Quote from: Teal Turken on 2012 Dec 29, 22:39:51
That sounds like a good idea, I don't think any of us drew anything like a map.
"A map? Ha! We couldn't draw a pony to save our life." Vick reverse bragged.
((So the names are slightly ambiguous. You could at least know from reading the RP enough to know who's who.))
Well, I'll be sure to draw out what we can find.
He returns the paper in the bag.
"Indeed" Vick said looking up at Jenzy, but, got a chill "Brrrr... Odd. Oh well, time for Armor" Vick said and started to scramble around in his blue sack for peices of his armor.
((I'm done for tonight))
Flame continues to listen to them
Quote from: Rad Thunder on 2012 Dec 29, 22:38:38
((For the last time, Silver is the filly, Heartful is the colt! And Heartful is the miserable one))
((I'm sorry :())
((It's ok. But for now, I'm done too. :c))
((Were hugry... ))
Vick got his intimidating armor on and sliped inside his pack to sleep
((Can somepony take the sack off the train, just leave it lying around, Well come out of it soon...))
((Maybe it's time for me to get off too...
Finish the "Enigmansion" in PM: SS.))
(( Anypony on? If so... ))
The tired purple eyed pony sitting in the back stood up promptly, looking over her shoulder. She has her hoof on the door to the luggage cabin.
Shard sighs softly.(C'mon Shard, you knew about this...Deal with it. It's a train.) The unicorn takes a seat and turns his head to look out the window.
[Hr]
Bloom boarded the train and continued to look at the others in the group. (I wonder if anyone else is new...hey, Teal is here!?!)
Artemis looked at the door, opening it and walking out, closing it behind her.
Shard notices Artimis walk out of the train. (I wonder where she's going.) The stallion follows her with his eyes.
She heads into the luggage cart, where its darker.
Quote from: PPBG on 2012 Dec 29, 23:46:57
(I wonder what she's doing...) He ponders the idea of following her, but he decides to wait a moment.
He let's the moment pass. (I suppose that I shouldn't pry too deep into others' business.)
[Hr]
Bloom got up and walked over to Teal. [Color=hotpink]"Hi Teal!"[/color]
Teal looks at Bloom.
oh, hello there. ^-^
"So, you're going on this desert expedition too?" she asks. Her eyes have a look of uncertainty in them.
Yep, this is my second trip to the desert too.
((I'm playing games))
Nova stands up and walks to the Train driver. Moments after he is gone the train finally starts moving.
It slowly starts to gain speed.
Nova returns to his seat and continues writing into his book.
Artemis was in the luggage compartment, lying down. It's darker in there, and quieter.
Teal gasps a bit when the train starts.
oh, the train's started up!
((I think we should wait for more to be on))
*Heartful looks out the window, staring at whatever goes by*
Sorry for the delay.
Said nova as he turns to the group.
I'm sure you already noticed that this train isn't as big as usual. And i'm afraid it will not get better. The budget for this mission is a bit low.
oh, that's a bit disappointing to hear. The princesses didn't fund the mission this time?
We're going on a dangerous mission, and they didn't fund us a lot?
I could of help pay for it if you ask
I'll tell you the reasons later.
But we have at least one thing: A base. I was there before this time and now we have a safe base in the desert.
well that's good as long as we have somewhere safe to be when we get there anyway how bout some cake :D
oh nice! A settlement will be much comfier than a sandy cave!
Nova looks at teal with a kind of surprised look on his face.
Well... actually...
Teal notices Nova's look.
...What? o.O
It is... kinda... a sandy cave.
Sorry about that. But it will be fine.
oh, haha. I thought you were about to tell me that the base is nothing but a big hole in the ground and some tents. x3
:l I hate it when ponies ignore me Star muttered to himself
That was a idea a while ago but i decided to use one of the caves there. We will have enough food for a while and a quiet place to sleep. In the day we will be safe from the sun and in the night we have a fireplace to keep us warm.
From what i guess it should be a useful base.
Nova turns to star.
Sorry. What did you say again?
*Heartful finally got up and made his way up to Silver's seat*
Splash was taking a nap on her seat so that the trip won't seems as long.
:D oh nothing just asking if anyone wanted cake :D
*Heartful can't will himself to go up to Silver, and instead turns back, bumping into Splash's seat*
None for me. I do like it but i have to stop eating that stuff.
Oh and before i forget. You should make groups with each other and pick who will be your leader.
I don't want any cake, thank you.
She didn't react too much. She sigh and said "what?" >:/ her eyes where red.
Okie Dokie :D tell me if you want any other type of food i'm good at making all sorts of stuff
Team leaders? I suppose we should. Who else is an explorer?
Oh sorry. I was just... *he stopped on seeing Splash*
You know what? We'll make groups when we arrive.
Until then listen to my orders.
Ok captain Nova :P Star saluted
Teal giggles and nods.
Yeah that sounds good.
She was waiting a complete answer. "Just what?" :/
Nova laughs a bit as well.
Thanks but i am not a "Captain" yet. I am First Lieutenant of the royal forces.
Nova you got your job back? :D
*he chuckled* Heh. I...I...
do you know my father his name is Lightning blast he is part of the Royal Guard
Star asked
She interrupted him and said "look, I kinda want to sleep, so could you just..." She turned around and layed her head on her seat. As she turned her head, the anger left her and her eyes became much more blue and dark. Her eyes became purple.
Yeah. Just a while ago. I guess you can imagine how surprised i was.
And about Lightning Blast. Sorry but that name doesn't ring a bell.
Uh...okay. *he walked back, still staring at her*
That's great news Nova! Congratulations!
oh :c ok I was just wondering star looked disapointed and not in his normal mood
((And btw, anything on him of value? She just might have stole it!))
She slightly opened her eye and looked at him.
The train leaves the rail. It seems to ride on invisible rails which are not open to the public.
Thanks teal. It caused some trouble with sleepless and miracle but in the end everything is as it should be.
Hey star don't worry. I probably just hadn't the opportunity to work with him. I'll let you know when i meet him.
((alright, who picked up our bag? We were inside it :3))
((He keeps everything inside his jacket. So he would've noticed if you did))
*he saw her looking and turned quickly back and found a seat*
no its not that i haven't heard from my father in 2 months neither has mom
((Vick we're still on the train, but the train is moving now.))
I'm happy for you Nova.
She looked away and fell asleep.
((If someone want to talk to her, just wake her up))
((Thanks Teal ^-^))
Vick unzipped his Back Pack and slugged out *couch couch*
"Hello!?" Vick called with his vision was blured.
Vick? Were you...oh right, that's your sleeping bag. x3
Thanks.
So if you would look out of the window-
Nova casts a spell. The windows starts to crack. A thin layer really breaks and vanishes. They are in the desert.
We are almost there.
We are? Did you hear that Heartful?
*Heartful snaps back into reality* Huh what?
"Hehe. Wait, We're been sleeping for 2 days???" Vick said knowing it would take 2 days to get there and he slep almost the whole way.
oh wow, this train is fast. I remember the first time it took more than a day to get there!
That's the advantage that we have this time. A smaller train with less carts is a lot faster.
Splash said to herself "guess I'll gt some time to sleep... Man, I really need to stop going out in the nights" she stretched, sat and looked outside.
Nice thinking. ;)
How long till we stop though?
star gawks at the desert it has been a while since i have been to one with... star looked even sadder now
Artemis was in the luggage cart, asleep. She was jolted awake by a bump.
"So we were alseep for the night???" Vick asked confused...
We will arrive in a few minutes. After that we will walk to the base and from thre we will advance to explore the desert.
Right, we should get ready.
Teal sits up in his seat and starts to fasten on some of his bags again and puts his hat back on..
"Never mind, We hate Time" Vick said drooping his head in sleepy anger.
oooooo i can't wait to explore :3
"Yo Nova, Will his train stop quickly or-..." Vick asked not wanting to get flung like last time.
*Silver goes back to Heartful* You ready?
Uh, yeah. Listen, about this morning...
Later. We gotta go! *She heads off with Heartful following*
Marcy was taking a nap and Faust poked her head in the attempt to wake her up.
"Hey, wake up, we're almost there."
"Uhm? Wha'? ah, ok." she wakes up and looks out the window "Oooh pretty!"
Teal is ready and stares out the window.
The train stops as vick finishes his question.
Good timing. Okay everypony it's time to leave. Take everything with you that you think will get useful.
Nova takes his book and opens the door of the train.
Oh and make sure we leave nopony behind.
Star puts his saddlebags on that look extremely heavy and followed Nova with ease
Splash was trying more to stay awake than preparing to go. She got up and her saddlebag was levitated on her back. It was almost overcharged but wasn't too heavy. She slowly walked outside.
"We arrived, take you're herbs and let's go"
"Okey dokey :)"
both take their bags and head for the exit
Vick was slammed against teh front seat
"Thanks Bro" Vick said with his face to the ground.
((I waited for Vick just to for this x3))
Teal laughs at Vick.
Vick you should strap in with a child safety seat! lol
He hops off the train and looks out to the desert.
It's good to be back, but I wish it was on better conditions.
QuoteTeal laughs at Vick.
Vick you should strap in with a child safety seat! lol
Vick giggled with Teal
QuoteHe hops off the train and looks out to the desert.
It's good to be back, but I wish it was on better conditions.
When she was outside, she realised that she wouldn't be able to transport her saddle bag on her bag. She levitates it and waited for the others.
He got up and shock his man a bit, then treaded off the train to the sand.
"Gah! Way too Hot." Vick said and clamped on his helmet again (His helmet is like a hood almost.)
DONT READ THIS! V V V
Vamp

Flame gets off and walks off the train
*Heartful and Silver trot out into the open air*
Feels like home.
Nova pulls his goggles over his eyes and adjusts them.
Let's see.
He looks in the distance. After a minute he starts moving.
Follow me and stick together. If you wander off here you will be in trouble.
There is a weak sandstorm ahead of us so stay close to me.
She followed Nova with her saddle bag following her by magic.
Faust and Marcy followed Nova.
Apparently this was more home to him than Vick. (Vick can't talk when in helmet) Vick trotted out with the others. Examineing the small sand storm.
Star nods and stays about 2 feet away from Nova
Okay Nova, hold on a second.
Teal takes out a simple, deep red flag and drapes it over his hat except for the front.
So you can see me easier in the storm.
He closes up the front of the face mask attached to his hat, which has some goggles on them.
Flame follows Nova and the others his eye glows under the patch
*Heartful pulls a pair of goggles from his jacket and passes one to Silver. They both put them on and follow Nova*
Vick unclamps a small part of his helmet
"Nice hat Teal" Vick taunted playfully.
Thank you Vick! I like your...armor. o.O Teal's muffled voice replies.
"Thank you" Vick said happily and shut his helmet's right mouth peice up with his wing.
[Timeskip]
The group travels through the desert and soon sees a cave.
There it is.
they enter it.
From what i guess we have everything we need here.
Teal removes his face mask and looks around at the base.
oh wow...this place is cool! It's homey too!
Vick ripped off his helmet
"Wut!?" :I Vick was so suprised he didn't know were to put his bag.
((That looks so familiar...))
*Heartful and Silver enter and remove their goggles*
Wow...it's so spacious in here.
Yeah. Now is there a buffet here or something? I'm starved!
*Silver just giggled as Heartful went off*
nice place where will we sleep at?
She enters the cave and say "Hm. Better than I expected..." She walked around
Nice place FLame says better then I thought it would be
We have some vegetables and fruits in the store room. Go ahead and grab something. This time we have more then enough food.
Beds are in the rooms over there. They may be simple but the ground there is softer thanks to a carpet.
Hey teal. We don't have water here. Would you please "Do your thing"?
Vick then had a huge urge to protect his stuff
(Even though Vick has no Idea there is a theif (We don't know who) Vick does have the synergy of war)
Star heads towards the room in the far left corner it's ok if i have this one right
oh, yeah sure. ^-^
Teal removes is hat and closes his eyes, he starts trying to find the nearest source of water.
*Heartful comes back with some fruits on his back*
Hungry Silver?
Sure. Thanks. ^-^ *takes an apple. Before she can say more he was already gone to a table to eat*
Teal turns around and heads back outside the cave. He stands outside, still for a moment, then turns west and starts walking with his eyes closed.
Nova walks after teal and puts a hoof on his shoulder.
Maybe you shouldn't walk off alone. Remember what happened last time? ...kinda often?
Splash walked to a bedroom to put her stuff away and relax alone.
"Indeed" Vick walked up still with his bag.
Quote from: Lusterless Nova on 2012 Dec 30, 16:30:44
Nova walks after teal and puts a hoof on his shoulder.

Teal opens his eyes and faces Nova.
uh.....YEAH. x3
Did you wanna come with me?
I'd like to but this time i will stay behind and guard the cave. Come back inside. I have to explain some things.
Nova walks back inside to the table.
Would you all please come over here for a while?
Flame nods and walks over to the table
Teal follows Nova back inside and stands near him by the table.
Vick follows Teal, like a shadow.
Splash came back from the bedroom and listened.
Faust and Marcy follows Nova and listen.
Vick also listens intently.
*Silver walks over to Nova. Heartful follows carrying a carrot*
It may be obvious but this cave is our base. Should you get in trouble try to find your way back here.
Now to the actual mission.
Each group will take one of these bows and a arrow with them. These are flash arrows. In case you need support, fire it the sky.
Teal here seems to have found water. Going alone is forbidden. here are more then enough dangers and creatures that can take you down.
When one of you wants to go take two of your comrades with you.
Any questions?
Why two? Me and Silver are more then capable of going on our own. :]
But what happens if something gets you both? You need a third pony in case you can't help each other or yourselves.
I'm not going to let two go alone. Especially you two. :l
"Buddy system" Vick advised bluntly
Star runs to Vick and grabs his hoof :D yep buddy system
They can't get us! We're...
*They shout together* The Rescue Duo!
*Their shout echoes through the cave*
You're still children.
Okay, so who wants to group up with me?
I will Teal
You are dead meat if something gets you out there. No matter what you say. You will not go by yourselves, are we clear?
... Teal? How about you take those two with you? You are good with kids after all.
((just a idea, not an order))
Ugh. Fine... :l
Heart and Silver? Sounds good, I'll take them. :)
Are you sure you can take care of the two of them alone?
My own two little ones aren't even ponies but I can handle them just fine. ^-^
Of course I can!
I...think that was meant for Teal.
Vick? Star?
You two seem to get along well. How about you two get one more member and move out as well?
Oh and all of you should grab some tools.
We have ropes, pickaxes and shovels. They are in the storeroom.
"We're with Teal" Vick said.
so who am I with
Vick I've already got two others in my group, sorry. You'll have to find somepony else.
Teal turns to Heartful and Silver.
So, you two ready to go outside?
Good. Then form your own teams.
Raise a hoof if you need a partner and see who walks up to you.
Quote from: Teal Turken on 2012 Dec 30, 16:59:50

"Really? Sorry, didn't notice. Sup Star" Vick greeted warmly.
Flame raises his hoof
Not much i really don't care who is in my group as long as we get along and be friends :D what about you
Sure. Where are we headed?
We're going to find a source of water, I sensed one outside, to the west I think. Hopefully it's not too far away.
Teal? Don't forget to grab some tools in case it's underground.
Splash came back to the others and waited for somepony to go to her, knowing that she won't like it.

Sounds easy enough.

Right, thanks for reminding me Nova.
Teal goes to the storage room and grabs an extra saddle bag and packs it with shovels and other digging tools, then returns to the room.

"She looks like she need a group" Vick said looking at Splash.
ok lets go ask her Star started bouncing towards her :D
Teal walks to Heart and Silver.
Ready?
Ready! *they say together*
so am I the lone pony
"We're sorry. Were not ourself. Time for a boosting charge" Vick said and started to twitch wildly
"Yo. You. Wanna be in our group?" Vick said happily and approched her with Star.
Good, lets go. ^-^
Teal heads outside the cave and closes his eyes. He starts walking west, his ears twitching.
"Guess I don't have much of a choice..." She said, followed by a sigh.
Looks like it. Sorry flame.
But that doesn't mean you won't get your chance.
As soon as somepony fires a arrow i want you to take care of it. You are a good fighter after all. And until then you can help me out with some things.
glady Flame says taking a bow
Hey Flame, if you're alone we can stick up with you, right Faust?
Faust nodded
Looks like your chance comes sooner then i thought. Don't forget the Bows and arrows.
I don't need one, I already have my magic bowgun with me, but I'll take the arrows just in case X3
((Rad?))
well then it has Flame walks over to the two he grabs a bow and some arrows I have a weapon I just like to have a short and long ranged weapon
((You can go north, east south and west. Depending on your direction you will find different things.
Good luck and have fun.))
Be careful with those. They will cause a light explosion. In case you need normal arrows grab some from the storage.
"Whos takeing this thing? We can't shoot a bow" Vick said dangleing the bow infront of his team.
((Sorry. Shower))
*The Duo follow behind Teal*
I can see you don't like to work with others or listen to someone else in charge
As they walk Teal asks Did either of you grab a bow?
Star looks at Vick I will use it if we need to
I got one. *he pulls one out of his jacket then puts it back*
Well then, shall we get going? if I remember correctly Teal headed west, lets go east then?
Good, lets continue.
Teal continues walking with only the water in the air to guide him.
((Nova? We there yet?))
She said "could we go now? I'm tired of just standing still..." :l
Alright I'm good with that
ok lets go north theres gotta be somezin that way
So we're looking for water?
She was already heading north, not waiting for her team
Yep, Nova asked me to locate water.
"Well We'd like to know were the water source so lets follow Teal and then explore oursleves" Vick said.
"Unless They're going to draw a map... Teal!" Vick called
"Can you guys draw a map when you find the water!?" Vick called.

((Something tells me i will hear this a lot in this rp. Kinda like this))
Teal's group can see something in the distance. It is west of them.
Color splash heads north but nothing comes into her view yet.
Perfect, lets go. Faust headed west followed by Marcy
I can help! *he reaches into his jacket and pulls out what looks like a tuning fork*

((I love TeamFourStar also Team Three Star))
Flame follows the two
((Not even her team!))
She looked back to see if they where coming but continued walking.
((I wrote the teams in the first post of the ooc tread. But i think i forgot one. Can you give me a hoof?))
Star caught up to her
((well we can't do much with out Vick now can we))

Thanks for the help Heart but I can find it.
Just tell me, do you see anything yet? My eyes are closed.
*Silver looks up ahead* Over there! *points west*
Quote from: super_chris85 on 2012 Dec 30, 17:30:37
Star caught up to her
((well we can't do much with out Vick now can we))
she said "what took you so long?" :/
Teal opens his eyes and looks out west.
What is it?
I dunno. It's a little ways away.
Had to grab the bow :D so i suggest that we figure out how are team is going to be seperated into to avoid complications
Vick was running towards them, then when it was safe. Vick Wing-Jumped sideways to their postion, creating a large sand explosion behind him
"We're here" Vick said bluntly
"Whats up now?"
...oh yeah, it is. We better go see if that's where the water is.
Teal starts to walk towards the thing in the distance.
Marcy can you see something?
Leave it to Marcys' eagle eye, uhm...
She conjure her magic crossbow and looking through the viewfinder looks east.
*The Duo follows*
"Good. Now lets just head north until we find something."
well we need to figure out who will be fighting creatures tending for the wounded giving support and exploration

Marcy sees the base cave. Along the way is nothing but sand.
((you walked west and then looked east. Kinda obvious isn't it?))
Quote from: Teal Turken on 2012 Dec 30, 17:35:06
...oh yeah, it is. We better go see if that's where the water is.
Teal starts to walk towards the thing in the distance.
Teal's group finds a oasis. There is a lot of water there, along with some plants.
Bloom and Shard had looked at each other when Nova called to make groups. Neither of them knew who their other member would be though.
Quote from: super_chris85 on 2012 Dec 30, 17:37:46

"That would be us" Vick informed.
"We're the fighter here."
It's a spring!
well i'm going to be doing some fightin' with what my dad taught me what y'all
The oasis can't be seen from the base because of some sand dunes and vice versa.
Nova looks at Bloom and shard.
I guess you will stay here for the time being eh? How about you help me out with something then?
Quote from: Rad Thunder on 2012 Dec 30, 17:40:21
It's a spring!
It's gorgeous!
But we're gonna need something to spot it from the base easily, it's not always possible to find west. Do we have any poles?
"At least I know I won't get attacked... By some creatures... If there is any."
Hmm... Just a second. *he digs into his jacket for a moment*
Mentally breathing a sigh of relief, Bloom answered quickly,"Sure, what?"
"Alright, since we don't have a healer, We need to carry who ever gets hurt out of combat." Vick advised
"sound good?" :D
((What the?? o.O))
Quote from: Rad Thunder on 2012 Dec 30, 17:44:43

"Star?" Vick turned :)
((this is a roleplay. It has nothing to do with the actual game. Your questions will be ignored here. Should you keep posting here without a good reason, i won't hesitate to report you Lousiem.))
One of you would have to go out and watch out for arrows.
((Anywho...))
*He finally pulls out what looks like a pair of disks attached to something*
Maybe this?
Except for our cave, sand, a lot of sand
Well, we're in a desert, it's quite obvious that there's sand
Lets go south! I have a good feeling about there!
If you say so...
Ok sounds like a plan
Quote from: Rad Thunder on 2012 Dec 30, 17:49:34
((Anywho...))
*He finally pulls out what looks like a pair of disks attached to something*
Maybe this?
Teal looks at Heart.
That could work, will it stick in the sand?
She looks around and ask "does any of you see something?"
Sure. Stand back though. Silver?
Right. *she uses her magic and stretches it. The object was a collapsible ladder, and it extends to 15 feet up*
Teal giggles.
It's a ladder, I guess it's the best we have. Put it on that dune there. Teal points to a tall dune.
Splash's group can see the train further in the north. The luggage cart is open.
hey look there is the train
*Silver moves the ladder to the dune and sticks 2 feet of it into the sand*
Like that?
She looks in his direction and say "do you see something inside or is it empty?"
Idk ima check though Star went in the train
so are you both fighters
Perfect! Just needs one thing...
Teal flies up to the top of the ladder and ties the deep red cloth to it to make a flag. He flies down and lands.
How's that look? Easy to see?
A snake jumps out of the sand and tries to bite star.

"SPIT!" Vick said and Wing-Jumped to his aid.
Yikes! *Silver jumps back*
Silver! *Heartful quickly reaches into his jacket*
Star hears it and uses levitates it into the air whoa that would of been bad
Nope, I'm the healer and the explorer, I have a wide range of healing potions. Faust's the fighter here, he's quite powerfull! How about you?
Quote from: Rad Thunder on 2012 Dec 30, 18:00:08

"Here keep its head away from us" Vick said and went over to kill it easily.
((i just assumed it was me since I use Star for his name and you use Silver))
((Oh right. I forgot that we have two of them. Ah well. You already reacted so i say both.
My bad :P))
The snake that is held by thunder star gives up and tries to get away.
Silver Star is followed by the snake. Despite the fact that it has no legs it's quite fast and agile. It is about to catch her.
((well fudge))

Snake! Get back! Get back!
Quote from: Vick McBread on 2012 Dec 30, 18:04:41
((Wait! is the Train abandoned or just parked??? Either way its useless to look inside it... But Vick will still tag along angerly, waiting to the search to be done...))
((It is parked))
*Silver continues to flee. Suddenly the snake gets pinned by a metal bat by its neck*
Got you!
QuoteThe snake that is held by thunder star gives up and tries to get away.
Vick uses his shovel to amplify his voice and make a sonic wave to burst the snake away.
"Are we supposed to learn what animals are here as well?" Vick asked Splash...
oh! Good job Heart!
Teal rushes over and puts a hoof on the snake's head and lower body to keep it pinned.
What do we do about it?
The snake digs itself into the ground to escape. It seems to be gone for now. ((<-This goes for both of them))
:I
Teal backs away from where the snake burrowed underground.
....I think we should go back to the cave before anything else shows up.
D'oh! It's gone. I wanted to bean it over the horizon.
That was scary... :s
I am a fighter
Lets go back, we found the water Nova asked us to find.
Right. *They head back in the opposite direction*
Quote from: Lusterless Nova on 2012 Dec 30, 17:49:08

Bloom tilted her head while looking at Shard.
Shard nodded."Okay... I will."
On their way back Teal, Silver Star and Heartful Hero, come across a plant that grows in the desert. A gust of wind mist have revealed it just recently.
Nova watches shard walk out and then turns to...
Thanks shard.
So... uhm... What's your name?
Whoa. *points to the plant with his bat* Was that there before?
Huh, I don't think so. What plant is it?
Teal leans in close to the plant.
Good! it's nice to know that we have prepared pony protect us from Ceelestia knows what could attack us
What kinds of attacks are specializad?
((Star? Spleash??? :I))
"We need to go" Vick said, knowing the snake was still a huge threat.
Star puts the snake in the sand sorry to bother ya buddy
Jenzy was reading his book of Items and Status.
Suppose that I'm all set. Got what I need...
what do you mean
((Its Splash, not Spleash.))
((And sorry, had to eat))
She said "yeah, yeah, like if a snake could hurt me." Her eyes became pink. She then said "last one at the camp is a dirty napkin!" She ran away as fast as she could.
"Oh I'm Bloom... Oh, and your Nova, you take care of Silver Ring, right?"
((They met a while ago...In Life in Ponyville.))

((Are we in the train or out? I missed quite a lot of pages :l))
Teal pokes the plant with his hoof once.
Star chased after Splash and caught up very quickly

(GOOD IDEA! :D that shall be your new name:D)
:I "WHAT!?" Vick exclaimed, suprised at her sudden outburst of fun then followed her.
Swords, fire, light, darkness. You're a unicorn, so on which element you specialize?
Nether Teal, silver or heartful can say what this plant is. ((no researcher in the group))
My live has been a little mess lately. Sorry but i don't remember you.
hmm...should we take it with us?
She arrived at the camp at a pretty high speed and she went on the bed where her stuff was. She was shaking.
((Go check her in the original character board. Pink eyes doesn't mean anything good))
swords and twilight magic

((sorry for the no response. We're in the desert, in the camp.))
Maybe we should go find someone who can tell us what that is.
Vick ran into her room "What was that all about! We covered no ground and lost a ton of energy!" Vick fumed >:O
Quote from: Rad Thunder on 2012 Dec 30, 18:28:37

That sounds like a good idea, lets go find somepony in our team who might know.
((Can somepony give Jenzy a briefing? I have enough to watch over))
((Faust is a researcher and Marcy is an herborist if you are interested))
Interesting, so Marcy did you find something interesting?
Still looking! She was scanning the area.
((Ah, alrighty then :)))
Jenzy looked around the area...
Hoo-wee! Wow. We're sure we're here. Time to add the first section of the map then... Paperize!
He took out his book and a pencil and started illustrating the "bird's-eye view" of the area...
There we are...
vick something is wrong don't yell
She used her magic to shut his snout ((so that he can't talk)) and she said "leave me alone, can't a girl have some privacy? gosh!" she pushed him away from her room. She wasn't exausted or anything from the running. It almost looked like she didn't run at all.
What all who are on the lookout can see is that a sandstorm is coming. It will arrive in a few moments.
((i have to go off. This is how i will end it each time. It spares me that "where am i" questions))
lol here Vick come on let her have her privacy she tell us when she is ready Star used his magic to open Vick's mouth and dragged him out
((k Nova))
Teal's ears twitch.
All the water in the air is gone...
Teal looks over to see a sandstorm.
oh buck! Sandstorm! We gotta go, now!
Teal starts rushing back to the base.
"So incoherent, both of you!" Vick thundered and dashed to his bag to take out a small foam cup.
When he was away, she let herself collapse on her bed from the running and the little act she did. She hid under her covers.
Star just looked into her room but didn't dare go in I hope she is ok
Uhm, guys, I have bad news...
What is it?
There's a sandstorm, and it will be here soon.
Say what?! A sandstorm now?! Ok, Marcy, Flame, we must get back at the base NOW!
The group ran to the base to save themselves.
((Four ponies Vick? Let me count...
1.Teal
2.Silver Star
3. Heartful Hero.
4.[none]
Who's number 4 Vick? :l))
((asumming Rad's OCs followed...))
Teal rushes inside the base with Heartful and Silver, he stops panting.

((Jenzy seems to think he's with you))
Nova sees ponies rushing in.
What's with the hurry? Something wrong?
Flame runs back to the base following the other two
Nova, th-there's a sandstorm coming...
WHHAAATT??!! a sandstorm already
((Currently, I'm wandering around the desert :\))
That happens quite often lately. Almost every day.
But don't worry. This cave is sandstormproof thanks to a spell. The storm will not hit us here at all. You can even go outside and look how the storm roars as long as you don't go away too far.
Quote from: Jenzy on 2012 Dec 30, 18:48:19
((Currently, I'm wandering around the desert :\))
((THANK YOU FOR CLEARING THAT UP! :D THIS IS AWESOME!))
Wow, really? I don't think I'd want to, it'd be scary.
We found water, and we also found this strange plant we couldn't identify.
Vick drank the last of his drink. Then walked to Nova "Nova, We can't do our duty with these two :l Star mummbles (no mistake there) and She just cost us ground and energy" Vick stated seriously
Better get to the others if I can find them. HELLO?! ANYPONY?!
Star looked at Vick darkly well what is the problem with that obviously something is wrong didn't you see her eyes change pink He said in a very threatening tone
((the one thing Star can't stand is when somepony pretty harps on others for something he doesn't think is their fault))
The group menaged to reach the cave in time
G-guys... a sandstorm is coming, but I bet you already know that
Are we all here? Flame, where are you?
Very good. Did you bring a sample of it? A leaf or maybe the plant itself?
You have to ether get used to her or get a new member. Your choice.
He turns to the cave.
Hi there. Rest for now. That storm will last a while.
right here I'm fine Flame says
erm...I didn't get anything, but maybe Heartful or Silver did.
((Who's open? Can't go to somepony when they're not there. When I say "Jenzy goes to X," sometimes I get "X is in <other area>"))

((WE'RE OPEN! COME JOIN THIS GROUP! HELP US!))
((we should all be in the hideout either now or soon so just stumble upon that sight if you got lost))
"Storm? Is that why her eyes turned pink?" Vick asked
((Okie doke then))
Jenzy spots a cave. He looks through his binoculars.
The hay? Uh, OK. I guess I'm supposed to go there since the majority's there :\ We're-a comin'!
He trots quickly to the cave.
It was before the storm even arrived plus it was her pupils not her eye itself

We made it!
Then he thought
(The hay? Why do I keep switching between I and royal We? :s)
Good, good. Somepony missing?
Marcy noticed Teal Oh Teal, did you bring some water? I can make a few potions if needed.
((i already read pink means she scared right))
in a sense yes
((Maybe if you could write it correctly you could find it yourself :l ))
((And you bet but you don't know that yet))
((I have to go now. My OC will just read his book and maintain the store and Laboratory. Good night.))
"Ah... and your beginging to get Cohearent... Nova, this is the best team ever"
(She isn't the only one with War senses...)
((yeah he doesn't know yet he just knows that something isn't right))
Glad you changed your mind i don't think she knew that storm was coming he thought

((Look, Were not trolling. We really like both Sploosh and Spleash))
((I'm going off too, night))
Teal heads to the bed rooms and takes off his hat, bags and clothing and sleeps.
What's going on? :s
Hello? Anypony? UGH... :l
Sandstorm that is what's going on
Thank you! Ah, well. Wonder how long it'll last. Guess we just wait here then in the meantime...
i'm get some rest too Star heads to his room and lays down
yup Flame says
Guess just myself for now...
He gets a sleeping bag out of his saddlebag and rests somewhere...
Oh, guess I should add the cave to the map too... Paperize!
He started illustrating the cave the best he could of bird's-eye perspective.
Star gets up and goes to Jenzy hey there is an extra bed in my room if you need a place to sleep
Wha? Star? Is that you?! O:
((Striked the original one I put of Jenzy seeing Star since Star wasn't at the area Jenzy was...))
yes it is me what are ya doing here anyway
(( Recap? ))
((we are all in the base with a sandstorm hitting Thunder Star is talking to jenzy and some are asleep and others idk))
I joined in too. I'm helping out with finding new areas and mapping them. And also healing...
oh ok i'm helping with fighting and exploring the area and i'm also looking for my father his last assignment was in this desert
Nice... Nice. Hey, can we move to the room now? :s
of course i don't mind Star walked into his room
*Silver was in one of the bedrooms while Heartful was eating*
(( Ah, I figured. ))
Artemis is preparing her medical equipment, having nothing else to do. She's sorting them around in her tent, alone.
Jenzy picks up his bag and follows Star.
well here's my room this is my bed and that one will be yours he said pointing to the bed on the left just make yourself at home i'm goiing to stay up a little while longer while i figure something out
Splash got out of her room. She had a bag on her back. She walked silently so that doesn't wake up anyone or attract the attention of those awake. She went where the food was.
Ah... Nice. Wait, how'd you get a room here in the cave anyway? o.O
*After finishing his first plate, Heartful went to get more*
Star went out of the room and went to get food ughh i'm hungry
She took a bunch of stuff in the food depot and put them in the bag. She then peeked outside the room to see if anypony was coming.
*Heartful bumped right into her as she looked out* Oh hey. Sorry.
Star walked into the food room and bumped in to splash oof i'm soory i didn't mean to run into you he said holding his head
She squeaked and fell on her back. Her eyes changed from orange to pink, then back to orange. She dropped the bag on the ground. She looked at him and said "h-hi..." X3
((What the? :I what is that for? Everypony deciding to bump into me? The hell?))
Right. Star left... Eh, whatever. There's 2 Beds here. Pretty nice. Don't complain Jenzy. Now, getting kinda hungry :l
He checked his saddlebag and got out a Maple Bar.
Mmmmm...
((lol cuz it is a funny thing to do))
oh splash i'm so sorry he said trying to lend a hoof
((The HAY?! Uh... I guess it's entertaining? And you get to see pretty colors if they pay attention to the eyes.))
Jenzy starts eating his Maple Bar slowly...
She took the bag full of food, got up and ran away in her room.
Star walked to her room I'm sorry did i do something wrong
"Can I be alone?" She was on her bed, almost crying.
yes you can but you know that you don't have to deal with this yourself i'm here for you
"I said, leave me alone." She took her covers and hid herself in them.
Star left as you wish
((She vants to be alone DD:))
Jenzy was about done with his maple bar.
Hmmm... I should save the others some of the other doughnuts for later...
Star goes back to the kitchen and gets some sandviches and returned to his room and sighs
She started to cry silently. She searched trought her saddlebag and took out a almost completely destroyed plush (a cat). The left ear was missing and the right one was holding by a tread. The coat of the plush was all dirty. She levitated her blanket to the door so that she could see the shadow of anypony that would come in her room. She put it in front of her and she looked at it.
You alright Star? What's wrong? :s
He finishes the rest of his Maple Bar.
Star starts eating nothing
Sighing about nothing? Uh... :s
yep :D he was hiding his true emotions
I don't believe you... But I guess you rather not talk about it.
He took out his book and reviewed the map.
Hmmm... Oh yeah. I should also add a Compass and a Legend. I'll have the compass once I figure out where North, East, South, and West are.
((Since no one is there... Minuscule time skip... Like 15 minutes))
Splash looked outside her room, not able to sleep. She walked to the 'force field' thing that protected them from the sand flying at high speed.
star just looked at the ceiling wondering bout Splash I can't figure her out and it bothers me
Shard and Bloom sat in a room together and chatted. Most of their conversation was just small talk, but there were a few times that the expedition at hoof was discussed.
Vick's bag unzipped itself and an orange hoof punched it's way out.
(Yes it IS Vick)
(Waiting for Teal or someone it his room...)
Teal wakes up stretching his hooves up. He yawns and sits upright, rubbing his eyes.
Vick crawls out of hs sack useing his hooves to scrape the ground.
"Ello?" Vick asked looking around then up at the bed with his vision blured.
Teal looks down to see Vick partially inside his sleeping bag.
Vick? Oh right, I said you could sleep with me. But, aren't there other bed rooms with beds?
"Not sure, still, 3 ponies could sleep in here. With the 2 beds here and us sleeping on the floor." Vick said
There's 2 beds?
Teal looks over his shoulder to see the other bed.
.....I guess you just wanted to sleep in the sleeping bag, didn't you?
"Its confy ^-^ Thoses beds look like there made out of hats" Vick said.
Well...they're aren't as comfy as my bed back home, but they're probably better than the floor.
Teal opens his wings and stretches them, then folds them back in.
I wonder what time it is.
"Same here being in a cave with food and water really messes with your sences" Vick said strethching his wings
Flame has been in the main area all night not sleeping
Teal gets out of bed and looks down at Vick.
You want some help getting out of that bag?
Vick holds out a hoof X3 "This bag is pretty enclosing"
Right, let me see here...
Teal takes Vick's hoof and pulls, but fails. He gets down to Vick and tries to open the bag some more.
Vick jumps out "Smart" Vick says smiling.
Nova wakes up. He worked through the night and fell asleep in the laboratory.
*Yawn*
He gets up and walks to the table.
Splash was still in front of the force field thingy. She was asleep.
Hehe, come on Vick, lets go get something for breakfast.
Flame walks over to Nova so how did you sleep
"On it." Vick said and sped ahead of Teal to look at all the food.
Nova draws a map and leaves it on the table.
He then turns to flame.
I had better nights. Give me a moment. I'll be right back.
After that he walks out to check on the sandstorm.
He sees color splash there and approaches her.

"On it." Vick said and sped ahead of Teal to look at all the food.
Teal follows Vick out of the room to where all the food is kept.
"STRAW BARRIES!" Vick called from around the corner.
She was sleeping too hard for anything to wake her up.
Strawberries? :D
Teal happily trots around the corner to Vick.
Flame looks at the map wonder what's this for
Nova tries to wake her up by shaking her shoulder.
Hello? It's time to wake up. ...Breakfast is ready~.
"There you go Teal!" Vick said holding up the box "Eat up, we got a big day ahead of us!" Vick joked.
Thanks!
Teal takes the box of strawberries and starts eating a few.
She slightly move and say "not... Hungry..." And goes back to sleep.
((She's hard to wake up... But there's a way))
"We'll see if theres any carrots or fish" Vick said (Nova, is there carrots and fish???)
I wouldn't think there'd be fish...
Teal sets the strawberries down, not wanting to eat them all in one go.
"Still, ya never know. Hope there salted and warm" Vick said looking around, facing away from Teal. "Still... carrots" Vick reminded.
Hmm...
Nova uses a illusion spell to make a big, hairy spider in front of her.
Okay i'll let you sleep. But watch out for spiders. Those desert spiders like to crawl over your head.
He hoes back to the cave.
Meanwhile the storm starts to become weaker.
((I'll be back shortly, I need to put dishes away))
Artemis was simply lounging in the main room, holding up a pan she had. The violinist rotated it, finding no dents or scratches in it.
((Aw, you didn't choose the friendly way... Oh well))
She opened her eyes and saw the spider. She screamed and ran away to her room.
"FOUND SOME!" Vick exclaimed and choped down on three, it was enogh food for him.
((I tried the friendly way))
The spider vanished.
Nova goes to the storage and brings some food for everypony.
Good morning everypony.
good morn
Vick finished his small meal and then snuk over to Artemis "Our Brother is also a violinist" Vick said comeing from behind.
"GOOD MORNING!" Vick exclaimed.
Nearly shuddering, and almost knocking him cold with the pan, she turned and whispered back "How do you know I'm a violinist?"
"Cutie Mark" Vick whispered back.
((The friendly way was something a lot more friendly than a spider, but of course it was less friendly than your first try. And my friendly way is a lot more kid friendly... That's a lot of friendly in a few centence.))
She slowly got out of her room, checking for the spider. Her eyes were pink again.
Flame sings softly to himself My, dearest Mother here's a lullby to close your eyes goodbye, it was always you I dispised. I don't feel enough for you to cry
"You pervert." She hits him with her elbow a bit, and not very hard either.
"GAH!" Vick flinches
"Look, a cutie mark is not something easily ingored. Its more that likely something that sticks out like a sore thumb, and We're short. That and we have none of thoese kinds of feelings for you..." Vick explained.
Artemis hesitated, then laughed a bit. "It was a joke! Do you think I'm serious?" Her voice was dry, and near monotonous.
The sandstorm stops and the desert can be explored again.

:o"Hahahaha. Thruth is, We're cow-eyed. Hahahaha!" Vick laughed in a jolly-tone along.
hey Anypony else notice the sandstorm has ended
"Oh good, thank you. Now, where's that Star... Star! Starrrrr!" Vick called flying away.
Good morning teal. How was your night?
Good Nova, I had a good rest. How about you?
Artemis watched him fly off. She would pull that card again just for laughs sometimes. She continued to do nothing, as nopony was injured, and nothing new was found.
I've had better nights. I fell asleep in the laboratory. But at least it is fully functional now.
Flame? Did you find anything yesterday?
No we didn't we had to leave before we found anything well as far as I am aware of I can't actually remember if we found anything
Hey Flame, are you a researcher? Or do you know anypony of our team who's a researcher?
"We actually need a medic... or an explorer..." Vick added with Teals words, looking at Flame.
Splash came back to the others and heard what Teal said. she said "I am one"
((She is researcher and explorer, so that you know))
Artemis, a medic, ignored the others conversation.
I am a fighter a warrior

"Darn it,
Nova? Is there a list of whos who???" Vick said zooming up to him
((Vick, Nova let you be 2, but the first is your primary. Teal is an explorer first and a medic second))
((If you would pay more attention, you would have known from the very beginning))
"So, what'd you find?"
(( Darn, I put researcher first. I meant to have medic first. ))
so then what are you Two Teal and Vick

"So, what'd you find?"
I was out with the kids yesterday and we stumbled across this strange plant we couldn't identify, I was hoping a researcher could tell us what it is. Can you do that?
Flame, I'm an explorer, but I also know herbs enough to heal minor injuries and mend some bigger ones.
"Really? I'll go check that out. I'll be right back." She ran into her room and got back with her saddle bag. "I'm ready... Lets go now." She was already leaving the cave.
((Wait wait wait. You think we didn't know? lol))
((We just didn't know she was two things))
Alright!
Teal quickly throws on his desert coat and hat and rushes to catch up to Splash.
Quote from: Vick McBread on 2012 Dec 31, 15:28:48
((Wait wait wait. You think we didn't know? :P lol))
((You asked me a question.
Ergo: You don't know the answer.
Ergo: Yes))
((since i have to watch less ponies now you are allowed to go with less then 3 per group))
Now outside, she asked "so, where do we go?" Looking around.
Vick put on his armor and sped out side
"Hold it!" He called to Teal and Color
"Your going to need a body gaurd" Vick said happily
oh, thanks Vick.
We're going west, somewhere about...70 yards or so.
Teal leads the way, traveling west. A large ladder with a flag on the top can be seen on a dune.

((the part when we said WUT!? That wasn't a direct Question... You tired? o.O))
So then I suppose I will be staying here with you
She used her magic to push one of Vick's hoof to make him trip. She said "look, I don't want you near me, ok?" Her eyes were red. She ran to the location with the plant.
((She heard that you called her crazy. She now hates your guts. Even if after that you said that she could be super useful, she didn't listen that part so it's like you never said anything good to her))
((You can still follow her if you want))
((We're not going to the "flag pole", I was just saying that you could see it))
Teal rushes ahead of Splash and lands where the plant is.
Here it is.

Here it is.
"What is it?" Vick asked blindly
looks like it flame.
But you can join them if you want. I'll let you know when i need you back here.
Oh and take a map with you and stay away from the dark area. The sandstorm is still active there.
"Mmh... Let me see..." She start looking at it as she put her saddle bag on the sand.
((Now... What do I do?))
Oh alright then if you need me just contact me telepaticly Flame grabs a map and teleports to the others hello
Quote from: Nala Valor on 2012 Dec 31, 15:42:27
((Now... What do I do?))
(Either tell us what you think it is or tell us its unknown... Or ask
Nova)
((Grr! I just received the orders. Now let me work))
She opened her saddlebag and took out a scalpel with her magic. She cut a little piece of it and said "I really can't tell... I'll have to study it a bit more..." She put it in a little flask.
((Why does a kid have a scalpel? That is the question))
((Splash is a kid? I'll go read your sign up...))
Okay, but shouldn't you take more? I mean, that's a small piece.
((Flame teleported to you guys))

sand was kicked up *COUCH COUCH GOUCH!* "WHAT THE HAY!" Vick said and pulled out his shvovel.
"If its dangerous, we don't want it all in our base, don't we? And if its really a good thing, we will need more. We never know, it might be the only one there is in the desert"
((She's 12. Just look at her oc page in the oc board. You'll have more info))

hmm....you're right. It's best to just bring a little.
Lets head back.
((Well you're not me Nova.))
"Lead the way" she followed Teal.
Flame follows Teal and the others I have a map

Vick followed.
((Agh, my inactivity...or better said: my late entries. Going to be using the excuse, ""They quietly slipped into the group" quite a bit. If you all don't mind, I'm going to pretend that my characters had been there after going to sleep and getting ready in the room that they claimed. ))
Bloom and Shard were speaking to each other every once and a while, but they were mainly listening to others.
Teal starts to head back to the base.
You have a map? Of this whole desert? Where did you get it?
Artemis was back at the camp, fiddling with her violin. She was playing a song that sounded to be of Saddle Arabian origin.
Nova gave it to me
NOVA gave it to you? Where did HE get a map?
I get the feeling he's been here a bit longer than he lets on...
((Why don't we skip to the camp?))
((Where are we at? I've been away most of the day))
((You? I think you're at the camp))
((Nova said that when he goes offline or the main exploring part of the RP ends for the day, you will always be at the base. And yeah, we should time skip back))
Teal and the others, Flame, Splash and Vick return to base.
((Meh. Never mind. Not in the mood for any serious RP. :c))
She got inside and went to the lab.
I have no idea where he got it
We're here at base now, we should ask him.
Teal takes off his hat and starts to search the base for Nova.
"Time for a drink." Vick said trotting into Teal's room putting his bag down and opening it.
Nova is in the storage and writes down what is available.
Looks good. Now the tools.
He approaches the tools and checks their conditions.
((Today the rp will be locked until tomorrow soon. Some of us are not in a good mood [Me a bit as well to be honest].
I don't want them to miss something important so prepare for the lock as soon as you can.))
((Okay, sounds good. I want to play some games and other stuff. ;)))
Teal enters the storage room and looks left, then right, then straight to see Nova.
Nova! There you are! he trots to him quickly.
I need to ask you something.
Nova stops his work and turns to teal.
Hi again. What is it?
Where in Equestria did you get a map of the desert?
I made it myself.
After i found some papers here i started with it. And with my hawks i took a look what is nearby.
But i have a range limit so the map is far from being complete.
Here. You should have one too.
He hooves a map to teal.
Stay away from those dark areas. The sandstorm is still active there.
Teal takes the map and looks a it.
Wow....I suppose that explains how you have a map of the desert so far, I thought you had stayed here for a month or something.
I did try to stay here for a while, but one pony alone is not enough to deal with the desert.
Was that all? I am kinda tired.
Yeah, that's it. Thanks for the map, and sorry for holding you up on...whatever you're doing.
I'm just making sure everything is in place and ready to be used. Somepony has to make sure everything is fine right?
Anyway. I'll take a nap.
Nova leaves his notes in the storage room and walks to a free bed to take a nap.
((I will lock it in 35 minutes))
Rest well Nova!
Teal returns to the main room.
((what did i miss))
((unlocked again.
The sandstorm is down.))
Nova woke up from his nap and went back to the storage. He continues his work.
Teal lays out his copy of the map on the table and looks over it.
He examines what they have mapped out so far.
Splash was still trying to discover what the plant was and what it was doing.
((Waiting for a more logical time to find out what it does))
((Somepony else here with logic? :D))
((Teal? do you want to get moving?))
((I don't think there's enough other people for Teal to have a group to go out with))
((as i said before: If i don't have to watch too many ponies you can go in smaller groups. It just prevented myself from missing anything. If nala wants to you could get moving with color splash))
((I'm ok with it :) ))
Artemis was pacing around in a circle, with a bored look. She was more than happy she didn't get to do her main job yet.
((alright then))
Teal looks closer at the map.
(I bet our sand problem is coming from the far east...)
Teal folds up the map and gets his desert gear on and his hat.
Hey! Somepony wanna come with me to go exploring?
Splash stopped what she was doing and got away from the lab. She said "I can go with you."
You can? Are you planning to take a break from studying that plant or are you just excited to find more stuff like it.
"I just want to get my mind off this plant. I can't figure it out..."
((if you describe the plant, I could identify it.))
"I can go with you, you might need a fighter" said Faust
Nova comes out of the storage as he hears that.
I guess that makes you a team. Don't forget a bow and some tools.
I suppose Nova's right, sure. I'll take both of you with me. ^-^
Who's gonna take the bow? I can't use it...
((You cannot indentify the plant right now. I know what it does but it's useless at the moment))
She ran too her room and boring her saddle bag and said "I can take the bow, if any if you mind" she levitated it to her bag.
((Oh we're back up? K then))
*Shouting came from a room*
Will you stop that?
W-what?
((Do you want to use your "adventurer sense" teal?))
Nova turns to the room where the noise came from.
What's going on over there?
Artemis, bored out of her mind, walked over to Teal. "You don't mind if I come, do you? I could use a breath of fresh air."
Can't you find your own bed?
B-but-
Forget it! I'm gonna go find something to eat.
*Heartful stomps out of the room without his hat*
Teal turns to Artemis.
I don't mind, you can come.
((Not sure Nova. Is there water at all far east?))
"Okay then." She took a step back.
((Lol! Somepony looks mad! Jut because of a bed!))
She tought a bit and said "wait a sec... I think I got an idea... I'll just stay here, I just tought of something for the plant..." She took the bow out of her bag and went back to the lab.
((Ima gonna stay with the other kids! ovO))
um...okay. I guess that means it's just us three?
((I meant: Do you want to unlock a new location? I refer to it as "job sense".))
((what did I miss))
*Silver peeks her head out of the room, looking depressed :s*
Quote from: Lusterless Nova on 2013 Jan 02, 17:30:03
((I meant: Do you want to unlock a new location? I refer to it as "job sense".))
((oh...uh....sure? I guess that's what I was planning without actually....planning.))
She made the preparation for a test she didn't make on the plant. She peeked out of the lab to see what was going on with the two.
Alright, you all ready? We're going out far east, I think whatever's causing the desert to expand over Equestria is there....without proof. I just think we should check there. x3
*Heartful grabbed a hoofful of fruits and looks for a place to eat*
((judging by the speed of this, is it a bad day to open it?))
Nova walks over to a table and writes down what is available in the storage.
((looks like it. :\))
She looked at both and felt a bit bad for them. She tought of helping but there's science to be while we are still alive and didn't know what to do. She went back to her science.
((Bless those who get the reference))
"It's ok for me" Faust takes a bow and some arrows and put them in his bag "Now, shall we?"
((Well I wanted to try something in Life in Canterlot, but no one bit
And Nala, the cake's a lie!))
(( lol ))
Sure, lets go.
Teal heads out of the base first.
Artemis follows behind him, carrying her saddlebags.
Faust follows the two out of the base.
Teal puts his mask down and starts walking east.
((Nuuuu! That's why I eat pie! :]))
She tried a few test, but the result were always 'useless plant' She went to take something too eat from her room. ((Remember? She stole some food)) and went to sit too the table, thinking of what it could be and if it was really useless.
Vick jumped out of his bag to accompany Teal with his Armor already on and his Shovel out.
((No idea what to do.
And I'm finishing my CBA so I can't RP :l))
((Sorta need Nova...))
Teal and his group continue to travel east past the borderline of the map's known areas.
Artemis looks to Teal. "I don't believe I got your name."
Teal looks back at Artemis, lifting his cloth mask up.
I don't think I ever got yours either. I'm Teal. :)
Vick just trailed blindly behind.
"My name is Artemis. Where are we headed besides east?"
Just east so far, I'm hoping we can find what's causing the desert to expand out here.
((what is going on))
All of the sudden, the ground under artemis breaks away. She falls in a deep hole.
As she falls, she gives out a scream.
Vick grabs her tries to pull her up ,by flying.
((Edit: Wait for Teal like 15 minutes))
Flame walks out into the main area
((I'll need somepony to PM me the details. I could probably RP tonight when I finish work))
((Thanks for waiting guys, and thanks Vick for telling them so. ^-^))
Teal gasps and gets down on the sand peering into the hole.
Artemis!
There is just sand on the bottom of the hole... or is it?
Does anypony have a rope! We need a rope!
((So who's at the camp))
((I'm at the camp))
Quote from: FlameandIce on 2013 Jan 02, 19:20:17
((So who's at the camp))
((Jenzy, Color Splash, Silver Star and Heartful Hero.))
Artemis lost Vicks grip, falling and screaming again, finally landing in the sand(?).
hello everypony
Vick dove to get her. ((Were ar we now?))
oh goodness! Artemis! ono
(( i'm lost where is everypony i know who is at camp but anypony elsewhere))
((teal vick and artemis are in the east))
((You know how to call for help don't you?))
((Even Marcy's at the camp))
Darn it, let's go back at the camp and warn the others.
((But Artemis has the bow! DD:))
(( the magical flare bow you gave us right well anyways Star should still be asleep or at least that's where i think i left him last unless something happened))
((Faust also has a bow))
Vick tries to fight the flowing sand but his little body cant take it, the only thing keeping him alive was his suit...
((wow I'm tired...))
We need help! I can't go in there or I'll end up stuck like Vick and Artemis! ono
"Uhm.. Help?!" Artemis shouted. She looked around, not injured.
Vick took of his mask "Da F?" Vick voiced, looking arund. "Can you see anything???" Vick said.
Star woke up from his nap and walked out of his room yawning
Then I'll shoot an explosive arrow for the base see us
hello ponies that are here
Do it! Don't wait!
Jenzy looks around the camp
((And what's the weather. I saw the storm is dropped. Meaning? Is it Clear out or what?))
Faust shooted an explosive arrow in the sky, the explosion made a blinding light.
How is everypony doin' today? Was there a sandstorm after all?
Quote from: Jenzy on 2013 Jan 02, 19:40:58
Jenzy looks around the camp
((And what's the weather. I saw the storm is dropped. Meaning? Is it Clear out or what?))
((if you form a group of at least 2 you can go out. I recommend 3 though))
Something comes from the camp to their location with high velocity. It is small and flies with a low altitude.
((The group you are in is east of the camp at a hole. Where YOU are, no idea))
((We're in the hole. Whats inside? a cave? burried? nothing but a wole?))
((It's just a very deep hole.))
Teal stares at the thing traveling towards them, he gets a bit scared but curious at the same time.
so who is ready to head out
As it comes closer it can be seen better. It's one of nova's ghost hawks.
It stops in front of the group. This one doesn't talk for some reason.
Quote from: Teal Turken on 2013 Jan 02, 19:40:54
Do it! Don't wait!
"Wait! the hole, it stoped moving" Vick said holding down teh bow.
Nova? I thought the others at the camp were supposed to come, why one of your ghost hawks?
Now... What's this? o.O
"Oh dear.." Artemis dug her way out of the sand.
((*sigh* Jenzy, flame. How about you two finally form a group? You seem to miss each other for some reason))
The hawk just looks at teal. It walks a bit ahead to the hole and points to it with his wing.
...yes they're in the hole, can you help?
What about you Jenzy
Quote from: Coffee Rush on 2013 Jan 02, 19:54:10
"Oh dear.." Artemis dug her way out of the sand.
"Fine, Were gonna fly out" Vick said and flew up.
The hawk flies away to the camp.
((you might want to explore the hole while you wait))
((Vick I think it's safe to say that you are STUCK. lol))
Teal watches it fly back to camp. o_O
......WHAT? Nothing? Just...do nothing?
Star looks around camp and walks up to jenzy and FlameHey hey how are y'all doing today
((Why do I keep missing stuff? DD:))
Good you
Quote from: FlameandIce on 2013 Jan 02, 19:56:49
What about you Jenzy
Yes? What about me?
((I know that feel Rad...))
I hope it didn't want us to jump into that hole.
Do you want to form a group
I'm doing great thank you :D
"How uncouth..." Artemis looked around the hole.
Why would it? That doesn't make any sense! We'd be trapped in there with them! The whole is too small for anypony but children and Vick to get through with there wings out!
((So someone's trapped in a hole? Did someone point that out?))
A while later. A ghost wolf comes back to them. It has a loooong rope wrapped around it's torso.
Something in the hole, from the size of a pebble, reflects light. Something is there.
Splash sigh and said to herself "why is the plant so normal? This is just weird... There must be something about it... But what?" She then took bite off a carrot.
Teal turns to the ghost wolf and smiles.
Awesome! Some rope!
Teal takes the rope off the wolf and pats it on the head.
Thank you! ^-^
Hmm... Suppose that would work with us. Alright...
The earthpony looked closer at whatever shined.
Vick looked at teh shiny light and went to it.
The wolf wags his tail.
After that he grabs one end of it with his fangs and takes a seat.
It is a small crystal. Even with almost no light around, it shines light blue.
Artemis lunges forward, attracted to it. She tries to snatch it from the ground.
Teal walks to the hole and drops the other end of the rope down inside.
Vick! Artemis! We've thrown down a rope!
mind if I join y'all i don't have a group right now Star asked Flame
sure I guess
The crystal is a bit heavy for it's size but artemis can take it without any trouble.
Artemis stuffs it in a pouch in her saddlebag to examine it later. She walks to the rope.
YAY!!! where should we go :D
I don't know nor do I truly care it's up to you two
Where should we go? :)
(Isnt this hole about 1 FOOT IN DIAMITER?! oh well, lets go)
Vick waited for her to get up then climbed up himself
"Thanks, that hole was tiny" Vick said
Lets go south it seems like a good direction
Glad you're not hurt
Me too, I'm gad you're both out of that hole.
Artemis begins to climb the rope, and with ease.
"And that crystal" Vick said looking at Artemis, He gets the feeling that shes greedy, since he saw it, went for it then she came up and grabbed it without a word.
What crystal? Have you found something in that hole?
((Uh, Flame?))
"We found it but Artemis took it" Vick said blankly.
So Artemis has it, why do you sound displeased? Did you want it?
((sorry playing Castlevania Judgement gets distracting))
sure why not let's go Flame walks out of the camp and waits for the others
"Well we did see it, was about to take up but Artemis quickly picked it before us..." Vick said calmly.
Star bounces out lets go Jenzy :D
((fun game))
Jenzy goes with Flame and Thunder Star.
After Artemis got up, and while panting, she spoke. "That was.. Fun."
Hey Artemis, you alright after that fall?
"Indeed. That was scary..." Vick said.
Simply, she nodded. "That was worse than when I fell off our roof into a pile of leaves.."
"Ouch" Vick said knowing that would hurt.
OKAY lets move out :D Star started bouncing southward
You're not hurt are you?
((Should be out now right))
He took out his book with the first part of the Map
Here's the map I had made earlier. Now, I still need to label the Compass here. Where would North be?
Flame starts walking to the south
"Cushioned my fall at least. No." She was on all fours now.
That's good, Vick said you picked up some kind of crystal?
"Yeah, Ya think we need to get that jem back to base?" Vick said looking at her bag.
Jenzy follows Flame and calls Star.
Come on! This-a way! I'll just have to figure out the Compass later. At least the map shows us where we're headed...
As flame and his group keep walking south all the find is sand.
One sand dune in their way seems to be a bit strange though. Unlike the other dunes, this one is kinda slim for it's size.
"I'll look at it later."
um...okay.
Do you guys wanna continue? I think whatever Artemis found in this hole might be a clue and there might be more inside, I could come back another time with some tools to make the hole bigger.
Star follows Jenzy :D Yep ima comin'
Wow. I really should have added the compass. I have no idea where we're going...
Spoiler: Map from the 1st page of the RP show Kinda useless right now. Oh well.
He puts away the map.
Artemis nodded, wanting to venture more.
Flame walks towards the strange sand dune
"Indeed. Shall we mark the hole?" Vick offered.
all i know that this south i remember checking in my late night studies glad you got me huh :D
Yeah, we should mark the hole.
Teal takes out his copy of the map and pins a spot on the map where it is, then puts it away.
Jenzy gives him the map.
So this is south. Uh, now I just have to figure out which is the bottom for this map then. x3
"Now that we marked the hole, shall we get going?" Faust asked
get over here this sand dune is strange
Sure.
Teal starts walking east once again.
((If Nova's gone then we can either stop or go back to base))
((I'm still here but you found what had to be found. Flame's group is next.
Map will be expanded in two days.))
((ah, so....))
Teal and his group wander a bit longer but find nothing.
At this, Teal says that he wants to return to base and starts to head back.
Star looks at the sand dune This doesn't look natural to me he said walking around it It might be i'm no scientist :P
((So what does our group do in the south?))
I've been saying that
Hmmm... weird... :s
Vick nods, accepting the offer to go back to base.
lets jump on it and see what happens Star's eyes lit up
Oo...kay then. :\
Flame. What do you think?
Faust follows the grup back to the base, without saying a word.
Teal enters the base with anypony that came back with him and takes his mask off. He searches around for Nova.
Nova is at the table. He writes something down again.
(I wonder where they went? I though i took them with me)
Jenzy unties his scarf. Then he covers his muzzle with it. and ties the back.
Alright then. Star? Ready?
Well I say we don't jump on it and examine it
Hey Nova. Teal calls to Nova as he approaches.
((Vick came back with you...))
Vick takes off his helmet "We found something" Vick added.
DD: but that is no fun experimenting is better :D
Nova turns around as the group enters.
Hi there. Did the rope help?
Yep, thanks for that by the way. ^-^
Wanna add that hole to the map? Teal brings out his copy of the map and sets it on the table. It has a mark where the hole is.
Artemis remained silent, walking with the group.
I'm actually with Flame.
He adjusts the scarf so it doesn't fall off covering his muzzle and tightens the back.
We're gonna have to see why it's like that... Investigate. What do you think happened?
"We found a Jem as well... A crystal" Vick said
((how about you guys just dig and see what you find?))
Nova took teals map and took a look at it.
Good. Once the other group is back i'll make a new one.
You can ether take a rest or help them out. They are just south from here.
I say we dig
"Nova, I want to stay behind to take a look at the Chrystal." She held up the gemstone.
Star sits down flustered fine you guys are no fun
Yeah. Dig... Alright then. Who has a shovel?

"Nova, I want to stay behind to take a look at the Chrystal." She held up the gemstone.
Vick grumbled a bit not getting any credit.
all i have is the bow thingy Nova gave me
Who says we need a shovel Flame starts digging with his hooves
Star starts to help dig too
((Wait a second, I talked to Flame. I'm a dork, he's not in base. lol))
Quote from: Teal Turken on 2013 Jan 02, 21:24:15
((Wait a second, I talked to Flame. I'm a dork, he's not in base. lol))
((Same here, we're a total dork lol))
After a lot of digging they find a stone wall. It looks ancient.

No problem Artemis. Good luck with it.
Flame looks over the stone wall examining it
Nodding, she walks to her room while examining it. She places it on her desk.
"So Teal, You gonna go back? It might get dark soon" Vick warned.
((Sorry. Dinner))
Jenzy helped dig as well...
Whoah, neat! :D
I think I'll stay here as long as you do not need me.
Faust goes to his room where there was also Marcy.
Hi Faust, how was the desert? Did you find something?
Not really, Artemis found a crystal and now she's examining it.
Wooo a crystal? Can I see it?
I think she prefers to be alone.
Uhm... what a pity.
Seeing that it has no power, not to her knowledge, she holds it up to a light, to see what might happen. Artemis flips it around, seeing if it has any markings.

"So Teal, You gonna go back? It might get dark soon" Vick warned.
((Internet died))
I'm not going back out now, it took us a couple hours to go to that hole, wander a bit and come back. I'm gonna get some food.
Teal goes to get some food.
Vicks stomach growled as Vick heeded Teal's words of a long walk. Plut is was almost night. "We think We'll some of my Special liquid" Vick said turning to his bag.
Teal fixes himself a small meal of a couple sliced fruits and starts to eat.
Splash was still in deep thoughts.
((Uh... Flame? Star?))
((Yeah still here I was waiting for Somepony to respond))

Flame looks over the stone wall examining it
((Didn't see it. My bad))
The wall has a small hole in it's center. Aside from that nothing is worth mentioning.
Vick went to his bag and got out a foam cup then sucked on the straw.
Flame takes out the map (which I believe he still has I'm not sure) and marks the location of the stone wall come on let's head back it needs something to open
You think this is a secret passage. Ooh, wow. If it is, I so want to explore it!
it needs something to open
((Jenzy illustrates and colors the map. Then I think, whenever a new area is discovered, Jenzy adds that and is copied to the others. Unsure))
Yeah. Something on the Center it seems.
Vick sucks it dry and then lets over to see Teal.
"Wow this desert has some suprises doesn't it?" Vick said fully rejuvinated.
((I'm done RPing today.))
((Me too to be honest. Let's take a break for now))
((k))
Any idea what to put in it?
I would say there is a key or something which we don't have we should just head back now it's getting late
I agree. Let's...
Jenzy headed North, back to the Cave.
((From what i see we need ether another group in the south or the group from the south to come back.))
Flame and the others arrive back at the camp
((I am sorry if this isn't ok))
((not sure why this doesn't continue. Let's give it a kick))
Nova turns to the entrance while sitting by the table.
Hi there. How did it go?
((I won't be here often because of school. Glad it hasn't gone far fast like last time))
Jenzy removes his scarf from covering his mouth and has it loose on his neck.
Hey Nova. Pretty great. I think we found a secret passage. :D
(((sorry haven't been here the past few days what exactly did we find))
Star walked in and sat down
((Since nopony from the second group explains what they found i will use my GM Powers))
The groups explain what they found and what happened. Most of the team members sit at the table in the main room.
So teal, vick and artems found a crystal that seems to give off some energy.
And Flame, jenzy and star found a stone wall with a small hole in it.
Interesting.
((I was trying to figure out myself i wasn't at home when they did that >:O ))
(( I somehow ignored this thread. ))
"What did the hole look like?" The blue crystal was in front of her.
A very small hole looked like it needed a key of some sort or to better put it an item to open it
