((And the inaugural post! Welcome to the Dreamworld Arca, I mean, Coffee Rush!!!))
As the gateway closes behind Farsight and the light from outside is cut off, the first thing that is noticed is the perpetual twilight. Although there is no source for it, there is light enough to see.
Be very careful, Arca, do not let your thoughts stray. What is created in your mind can come to life in these lands... Farsight warns as he starts to walk in a direction.
[glow=black,2,300]"Um.. So.. What happens here?"[/glow] Arca stood idle, looking around in the vast empty space.
Farsight beckons Arca to follow him, and he begins to explain the Dreamworld,
When you sleep, this is where you come... Subconsciously, of course. This is, after all, the Land of Dreams.
As he walks off, around the both of them, a landscape forms, cities and forests and creatures running about.
Being able to enter physically takes time, and concentration. But, as I said, you must be cautious. What you make here can harm you, maybe even kill you.
As he moves a distance away from his dream creations, they fall back into the ground, like a sculpture of sand disintegrating.
[glow=black,2,300]"Can I try to make something..?"[/glow] Arca was being quite cautious, not wanting to get into any trouble.
Farsight nods, and says,Of course, but, as I said, be very careful not to create something too threatening. I can teleport us out if needed, but it is exhausting.
The unicorn nods, beginning to concentrate. Surely enough, there's something in front of her. It's a flag that's white and yellow, looking like a family crest.
Farsight looks it up and down, examining the Crest. A light breeze begins to form, and the landscape around them turns into an endless praire, green grass gently swaying. The sun looks as if it is just rising.
For a second, she didn't speak. [glow=black,2,300]"... Where are we?"[/glow]
Farsight jumps a little, his mind was completely absorbed with the Crest. He looks around.
It looks like I may have accidentally created a more fitting landscape for your flag here... As you can see, if your mind wanders the land itself can change.
[glow=black,2,300]"This place looks... Familiar..."[/glow] Arca stared around.
A glazed look enters Farsight's face, his eyes going distant. All around the two ponies, mountains rise and valleys form. Walls begin to erupt from the ground and a keep is built in seconds behind Arca. The towers on the walls are flying the same flag as the one Arca had formed...
Arca was amazed by the structure, staring and gaping at it for a few long seconds before finally talking. [glow=black,2,300]"It's... Magnificent... But it just somehow doesn't ring a bell for me..."[/glow]
Farsight snaps out of his trance and looks around...
Maybe not for you... But it feels like I've been here before, or a place similar, and your flag triggered my memory.
The land was very quiet and very empty. Only the wind whipping at the flags made any sound.
Arca was silent with the landscape, too.
Farsight takes a deep breath...
I believe I may have met your ancestors... Or a reality that had them ruling somewhere, at least. Sorry if I surprised you.
He closes his eyes, and the land changes once more. It is the endless prairie again, the breeze blowing lightly.
[glow=black,2,300]"If you did meet them... They might've been my descendants..."[/glow] Arca shut her mouth like she had said too much.
Farsight looks at her, a tilt to his head and a raised eyebrow giving away his curiosity.
Arca remained silent, looking around. It seemed a bit personal.
Farsight nods.
I understand, if you wish to tell me, you will. I will not pry. Is there anything else you'd like to know of the Dreamworld? He asks, changing the subject.
[glow=black,2,300]"... No.. Not really..[/glow]
He nods.
Then let us head back...
He closed his eyes, and when he opened them again, the had become a sea blue color. He looked around as if seeing strands of some kind in the air.
Arca simply watched Farsight perform the process of going back to the real world.
Once he found the correct strand of magic, he followed it back to its end, beckoning Arca to follow. Once reaching the origin, his horn began to glow, an he cut open a gateway back to Ponyville. He held out a hoof towards the gateway, his eyes going back to their normal gray hue.
((how do you want me to join))
Arca slowly exited, beginning to ponder once more.
((@Chris: This isn't part of the "Journey to Mustangia" RP we'll be doing. I just got outta math class and I have a few things I need to take care of before I start that one.))
He follows the yellow ((hope I got that right)) mare out of the gateway, shutting it behind them.
Physics finds himself in the dreamworld. [shadow=blue,left]Weird...[/shadow] He thinks to himself, looking over his own hooves, seeing if there was any affect on his vision.
As Physics Shift enters the Dreamworld he notices there is a faint light causing the whole land to appear to be in a twilight. It was also slightly hazy, as if a very thin fog blanketed the area. The land itself is mostly barren and void, but in a few places ponies can be seen wandering around in Dream spheres that there subconsciouses have created, walking to the edges, but never leaving them.((Think the nightmare Scootaloo had in "Sleepless in Ponyville")) Also, the landscape in the distance can be seen to change, taking on a red hue, and what almost looks like fire burning.
[shadow=blue,left]This is just like that "warp" place my book talked about...only more calm...[/shadow] Physics thinks to himself, wandering to one of the edges to examine the area. [shadow=blue,left]Looks like I'm not the only pony here...[/shadow] Physics thinks to himself.
One of the spheres pops, the pony vanishing, along with everything else inside. They must of been awoken. The red landscape in the distance appears to be creeping along as well, fires appearing every so often behind the preceding edge. A faint laugh can be heard on a hot wind that was not there a second ago...
Physics looks in confusion, wondering where the source of the laugh was. [shadow=blue,left]Must be hearing things...or in this case dreaming them...[/shadow] Physics says, trying to ignore the laugh as he watched the fires on the colorization.
The laugh comes back, louder and malevolent. It's accompanied by a faint voice as well, filled with malice, [glow=red,2,300]Foolish pony...[/glow]
((Doing all of that on a phone was slightly annoying...))
((You're doing it pretty good.))
[shadow=blue,left]what was that?[/shadow] Physics thinks, looking around for the source of those words. He quickly tries to force his mind back into his physical body, not wanting to face this threat.
As Physics leaves the Dreamworld, he can hear that same voice, this time a thundering echo receding into the distance, [glow=red,2,300]You may run, little pony, but you can not escape the nightmares!!![/glow]As The world around fades, Physics is able to make out a dark being in the distance, a being of pure Nightmare.
As the two ponies enter the Dreamworld, Physics notices a marked difference. The entire landscape was now red, and fire is erupting everywhere.
Farsight can be heard yelling through the Gateway, It is getting harder to keep the gate open!
Well this isn't good Irina says
Should we leave? Physics asks Farsight, not wanting to be stuck here.
That... Might be... A good... Uuuhhh. Farsight groans from the exertion. Before any of the ponies could react, the magic holding the Gateway open fades. The Gateway begins to close, like a wound healing, slowly closing. Farsight can be seen on the other side, eyes wide in fear...
Wait what! Physics says in surprise, seeing the closing portal.
A booming laugh resounds throughout the Dreamworld as the only way Physics and Irina could leave seals shut.
Not this one again.... Physics starts complaining.
um what is that sound Physsics
A purple and black mist, like a bruise, begins to form on the ground around the two ponies. The laughter continues, and Xinyiubo speaks, [glow=red,2,300]Ahhh, you came back! Bahahah, and now you are stuck.[/glow]The mist begins to move away from the two ponies and begins to solidify.
That nightmare lord. Physics says. And looks like he's turning us to stone... Physics says trying to think of which potion could help him out right now.
[glow=red,2,300]Turn you to stone?! Bah, I'd never do something so kind! No... I want to know what troubles you most... What you feel you failed at...[/glow]Xin replies. The mist was taking on a large shape now, taller than even Little Bleyd.
Jokes on you! I never failed before in my life! Physics taunts arrogantly, sticking his tongue out at Xin.
As The Lord of Condemnation forms to his towering height of 50 feet, he looked down at the tiny ponies, [glow=red,2,300]Ohhhh? And what about... Maple?[/glow]The monstrosity asked, sneering at Physics.
((Yes, he can see into your minds and read your memories! Muahahahahahah! ovO Think Chaos gods))
I don't fear anything because I always succeed
She was saved by my efforts! Physics shouts. Looks like the only failure here is you! Physics returns with a insult of his own.
((ARROGANCE! The +20 to any Will save!))
The booming laughter, like a thousand thunderbooms at once, erupts from the grotesque face. [glow=red,2,300]Then let us start somewhere more recent... Failing your new friend Farsight... Look at you two, trapped in my new Realm... With no way to escape. Why you have failed each other! But why talk about it... When we can live it.[/glow] He sneers, as the same mist begins to envelope both of the ponies.
Oh, that would so hurt....IF I WAS FARSIGHT! Physics says in anger. Do not blame me for the failure of others! Physics shouts.
[glow=red,2,300]Is it really his failure...? Or are you just trying to blame others, too arrogant to see your own faults...?[/glow] The Nightmare whispers as the mists fully encircle the two ponies, separating them... And placing both into a new world. Ponyville is in shambles, damage by fire was evident everywhere. A sign nearby reads, Caution: Gunpowder.
Hm well this seems like a success to me I mean it seems like something I would to after I get the sins
Physics reads the sign. :l Really? I put that out. It's not a failure if you, you know, don't mess it up. Physics says, starting to fear this thing less and less every time it opened its mouth...if it even had a mouth.
The laughter was on the wind once more, as well as a whisper, [glow=red,2,300]But who is to say that it won't happen again...? That anger of yours, how it burns so fierce.[/glow]As the whisper dies away, a filly can be seen in the distance, clearly injured and mostly burnt.
JEE! I could have failed! I could have also become a alicorn princess! Physics says in mockery, knowing that letting himself down would only let this thing win.
But that didn't happen either, now did it. :l
((I could tell you some failures that would have more sting to Physics if you want.))
((That would be helpful, but this is a what if for now, he can use the others later... But who do you think the injured filly is...? ovO))
((gtg night))
((Night
Is it Maple?
Anyway for the list
1. Failing the entrance exam to Princess Celestias' school for gifted unicorns
2. Being kidnapped by Moonlight and failing to escape by himself
3. Unable to ignore hospitalizing injuries))
((Alright, I'll keep those in mind... And no... It's Stella, your daughter, no? Like I said, this is a hypothetical situation, like Discord and AJ in season 2.))
((Oh, that also makes sense.))
Physics shudders at the sight of his burning daughter though, even the imagery of that was frightening enough for him.
((I think we should continue tomorrow, since Flame went offline.))
((Alright then.))
((well that sucks I am to get back and we stopped X3 ))
((Thought you were off for the night... >.< Oh well, we'll keep going tomorrow.))
((ah no it's cool))
((Any clue when he might be on? Also I'm here now.))
((When y'all want continue this, just send me a message.))
The filly stumbles towards Physics and Irina, a mixture of shame, hurt, and loathing full in her eyes.
Physics tries to ignore the filly,, knowing it was a illusion, but his better nature got the best of him. He goes forward to try to help the filly. Are you alright? Physics asks the filly.
She looks up at Physics, [glow=red,2,300]It's all your fault, dad.[/glow] She replies, thoughts of guilt and remorse trying to worm their way into Physics' mind.
N-no it's not! Physics counters. I stopped this! He shouts at his daught-no the illusion of his daughter. I DIDN'T DO THIS! Physics shouts.
Irina fires a ball of darkness at the filly knowing it is only a illusion nothing more
The fire ball hits the filly, striking her as if she was real. She cries out in pain, [glow=red,2,300]Why mom!?[/glow] The thoughts attempt to creep into both of their minds now, while "Stella" cries in pain.
You're not real! Physics shouts, shooting a fireball at the illusion, turning his head away as to not look at the impact, tears running down his face as he shut them tight.
you are nothing but a fake I seen and used enough of those before in my life I know when something doesn't exist
"Stella" vanishes, but so does the rest of the world. Physics finds himself back in Princess Celestia's School for Gifted Unicorns, once more as a colt. He can longer see or be seen by his wife.
((Flame, does Irina have any failures? It would make the story progress easier...))
Physics looks around, seeing how small he was, and how he lacked his cutie mark at the time. He recognizes the event. N-no... Physics says, realizing what he was about to relive.
((death of Kirriu her brother due to the illusion the Master of the Heckish Yard put on her many failed attempts at taking over the world (not really big since she just moves past her failers and continues on)))
The test is about to begin, the judges up on their chairs, and his parents nearby. ((I have no idea how your test went, if it was like Twilight's at all, so I'll just nudge the story along.))
----------------------------------------------------------
The world around Irina also changes, she is back to the day her brother died... The same thoughts still trying to worm their way in... ((Same here, I'll nudge the story along...))
Levianta year is 0013 and it's in Flames wonder what is going on thinking back to the fight she had with Elluka which destroyed the village and her brother's sanity
[glow=red,2,300]It's all your fault he died...[/glow] A voice whispers in her head...
Physics sees the practice wall, he had a minute to bring it down. He charges up a fireball spell, if his magic was like it was as an adult, it would be easy. He fires, and the fireball was a small red ball, barley the size of his hoof. It impacts the wall, barley burning the surface. Physics bows his head in shame.

[glow=red,2,300]Such a GREAT master of magic you are!!![/glow] A voice chuckles at the back of his mind.
Irina looks around for the source of the voice

Before she can question too far, the events of that day begin to unfold...
((i think that was for me.))
Physics is surprised by the insult, his face flushes red, as he starts to cry. Sh-shut up! I-I'm gr-great at ma-maa-magic... Physics manages to stutter out, start to cry a little.

((It was, I'll try to quote for your benefit.))
The ponies around look at him oddly, but soon their expressions of confusion are replaced with expressions of scorn. Even his parents appeared to laugh at his attempts...
Irina watches like She has many times before in her head the wedding Elluka and Kirriu about to kiss a fireball hitting Elluka and setting the church on fire Irina pulling out a blade and trying to strike Elluka in the heart while she tries to put out the fire with her water magic the fight in the sky causing the country to burn Irina getting knocked through the roof of her home getting up before getting struck in the head with the edge of a music box a figure appearing before an alicorn showing her what power she could gain Irina agrees while watching Irina can doing nothing but cry silently
physics quickly rushes into a corner and curls up in a ball shape and starts to cry, sobbing at his parents mocking.

The world melts around him, running and flowing into a new scene. He is back in the captivity of Moonlight again.
Quote from: FlameandIce on 2013 Feb 26, 18:57:34
Irina starts laughing hard tears still running down her face
A feeling of slight confusion is felt deep at the back of her mind, but vanishes as the world reforms. Irina finds herself in chains.
((Actually it's captivity of Flame, Moonlight just did the dirty work. lol ))
Physics remembers the winged Zebra dragging him away, he tries desperately to hit the stronger hybrid, not doing much as he was carried away at high speeds.
Irina looks at the chains then looks around

((I see. XD Well, you're in a sense telling the story, I just Physics feel bad about it. XP))

Irina looks at the chains then looks around
As she looks around, the sound of keys can be heard, and a heavy door opening.
hey imprisoned strange don't remember this oh wait I guess this was the only time I ever was
Sh-shut up! Physics shouts, biting the winged Zebra in one of his wings, hoping it would slow him down or stop him.
Quote from: FlameandIce on 2013 Feb 26, 19:09:55

The small voice gives a squeal of laughter at the Unicorns feeble attempts.
hey Celly how's it goin she says grinning darkly
Physics starts to cry again. STOP IT! He shouts, teleporting Moonlight infront of a tree. Though due to how emotionally unstable he was, he makes a mistake, teleporting himself too, still in the winged Zebra's grasp.
Quote from: FlameandIce on 2013 Feb 26, 19:16:45

You have no right to speak with me...

Her eyes half close in anger.
the fact that if you banish me all of Equestria goes to chaos I don't mean Discord
SHUT UP! Physics shouts, as they both crash into a tree.

She sniffs dismissively. We will see...
[glow=red,2,300]You're not as special as you think you are...[/glow] The voice whispers once more.
Quote from: the dark gods on 2013 Feb 26, 19:36:12

As the crash into a tree, Physics wakes up in a hospital bed.
(the Heart attack scene? Ohh, I forgot about that one. You do great research. :3 ))
Physics looks around, checking himself for any injuries.
I have a mental spell ready as soon as I get a certain amount of miles away from Equestria my Asylum breaks loose sending all of the most mentally screwed up ponies into the streets

Celestia smiles. Oh, that... We took care of that when we captured you... They are safely tucked away in Tartarus... Where they belong.
[glow=red,2,300]You truly have failed... Nothing can save you now...[/glow]((Just letting you know, Luna and I are going to be entering soon.))
((OH yea that. Forgot about that.))
I'm stronger then you! Physics shouts in anger, taking this insult to heart, rage building up in his mind.
((Is he restrained with medical braces and those leg holder things?))
Irina laughs again

[glow=red,2,300]Temper... Temper... Remember what that did to Stella???[/glow] The earlier vision of Ponyville destroyed flashes in his mind, "Stella" brutally injured in the foreground.
Physics struggles in his casts, trying to escape the voice. SHE! WAS! FAKE! Physics says in anger, starting to cry as he screamed in defiance.

Irina laughs again
Celestia sniffs dismissively again, and begins to walk out. The banishment will take place tomorrow, I hope you are not
NOT prepared.
She says over her shoulder as she leaves the room, it being locked once more.
Irina grins she looks over at her hoof it starts glowing as her hoof burst into Flames melting the chain

((Derp, thought I answered you, sowwie.))
[glow=red,2,300]Buahahahah! You are weak, little pony! Now.. To take finish the job...[/glow] He laughs once more, and appears, much smaller, in the room. But before he could do just as he said, his face takes on a surprised look. [glow=red,2,300]Nooo! Noooooooooo![/glow] He screams, as the world fades back to where all this began.
Physics looks around in confusion, wondering if he was just saved, or if this was some sort of trick.
As Irina and Physics are once again in the Dreamworld itself, they see an Alicorn entering the land through a gateway. It's Princess Luna. She is staring defiantly at the Nightmare Lord, who's cowering behind the two ponies he had had captured. Farsight can be seen entering behind her.
Princess Luna! Physics says, giving a bow to his matriarch. Y-you saved us? He asks Luna, expecting to hear that voice again.
Irons takes a bow not wanting to deal with anything else
Yes, I have come to put a stop to this... Beast. She looks at the Nightmare Lord, her eyes and horn both glowing. Xin is trapped in her spell, unable to move.
Thank you so much, we owe you our lives... Physics says as he bows to the princess.
She nods to Physics, then speaks to Farsight, Now, young Dreamwalker, disperse this beast back to the nether from which he emerged!
Farsight's horn glows an intense light-gray his eyes glowing as well. He fires his spell right at the immobile Xin. The Nightmare Lord is hit, and explodes in an intensely bright light. The world around them begins to revert to how it was before, void and endless. A small glimmer if red enters into Farsight as the spells die down, unnoticed by all but he and Luna. He looks to the two ponies. I art sorry that thee had to deal with this... Had I known for sure before hoof...
((Before hoof))
I...I told you about that...thing, why didn't you tell me that was dangerous? Physics asks Farsight in confusion, wondering if the pony wished him harm.

((Before hoof))
I...I told you about that...thing, why didn't you tell me that was dangerous? Physics asks Farsight in confusion, wondering if the pony wished him harm.
T'was but a minor Nightmare Lord... The book had said he was one of the less powerful... I truly am sorry.
A look of guilt and shame full in his eyes as he apologized to Physics. I hath never faced one myself... Luna,
He looks to the Princess, who nods and smiles at him, encouraging him to go on., My Luna, had been the only one to take care of them... And there had been none for me to face when I first became a Dreamwalker.
((Sorry, was eating dinner.))
((I don't mind, RPing in another thread too!))
For a minor nightmare lord, it was fairly powerful.... Physics comments, knowing he would look better if he faced a strong opponent, rather then a weak one.
((You and I both! Oh, and fixed that, thanks!))
Luna looked around, and said, You should head back now. I'm sure your friends and family miss you... She turns and heads for the gateway. Farsight is still looking at Physics, begging forgiveness in his eyes.
Physics sees Farsights eyes and gives into his demands. Alright, alright, you're forgiven... Physics says with a dismissive hoof as he trots towards the portal.
((GTG for about a hour and 15 mins))
((I can wait.))
((Same, off to Tekkit, if I don't respond, send me a message.))
((:33<AC returns))
((right-o then.))
Physics walks through the portal, returning back to his home, still in the basement.
Irina follows after Physics
Farsight follows, knowing Luna would like a chat with him sometime later.
((Getting distracted...))
Farsight enters the Dreamworld behind Aqua, letting the gateway close behind him. He lets out a long sigh... It had been a long time since he was last here. Farsight looks over at Aqua. The beauty he saw in her only enhanced by the land around them... Which was currently empty. Would... Would you like to see...? Farsight asks the blind mare.
(( Missed this, sorry. ))
"Of course... I mean, I can always see in dreams..." She stepped around a bit, looking upwards. She has been in the dreamworld, knowingly, a few weeks or so earlier when they were trapped in that nightmare.
((She can't see yet, being there physically, that's why Farsight asked.))
Farsight looked around. Lets make this place a little better looking... He says, and the land changed around them, becoming a beautiful plain, with a forest nearby.
Aqua took a step forth, in silence. Her mind was burdened with thoughts of her work, and pride.
Farsight walks up behind her, What do you think? He asks. He hadn't noticed she was a bit distracted from what was around her.
"It's... A- Amazing..." Aqua took a few more steps forward, her breath taken. She hadn't seen things in a long time, more than ten years even. At least, not things like this. Most of her dreams were abstract and whatnot.
The sun was high in the sky, it rays giving off a pleasant heat, and a light breeze blew through, rustling the leaves on the trees. It made a perfect contrast, the heat and cool. Farsight looked at the mare, wondering what color her eyes had been... He hadn't been able to actually see them inside his Nightmare, nor had he really been able to see them when he had seen her memory. He walked around to the front of her, looking into her eyes.
The unicorn's eyes were a steel grey; the color of a stormy sky. After a few moments, Aqua stared at Farsight, studying his facial features as thoughts of something popped into her head, memories of something in her past. She looked back to the landscape without a word.
Farsight smiles.... Unsure of what exactly he was doing, his mouth speaking before his brain could react... You have... Beautiful eyes...
Aqua looked back at him, not knowing what to say, or what to do, other than respond back. She hasn't been complimented like that in a while. "You.. You remind me of an old friend..." She smiled happily, remembering her past. It wasn't very tragic, but it was certainly out of the ordinary.
Farsight smiles a bit wider, happy to see that she was happy. Thoughts began to race through his head... He liked Aqua, and had for quite some time... But he also likes Enstra, and had told her so... Life was starting to become confusing again... "I'll take that as a compliment..." Farsight chuckles, then before he even knows what he's doing, he leans forward and kisses the mare... The only thing he knows to do when life gets confusing....
(( Last post of this session. ))
She just accepted the kiss, then returned the favor. Aqua broke the kiss shortly after, though, speechless. The unicorn, however, wasn't aware of his relationship with Enstra.
((Mkay, we'll continue tomorrow.))
Farsight's heart had started to pound when their lips met. He had wanted to tell the blind mare how he felt about her for a long time... But he had never found the opportunity... Another part of him started yelling and screaming, telling him how he liked Enstra already and how betrayed she would feel... Not to mention Aqua. Farsight wishes she would of held that kiss for a little while longer, as he had forgotten the world again... He stood there, smiling at her, wondering if the speechlessness was a good thing...
The first thought that came into her head after that, was about all of this not being real. She never thought that a moment like this would happen again in her life, and this surely took the weight off of Aqua's shoulders.
((How wrong Aqua is... XP Being there physically... The food will actually be real. Crazy concept, but it works! >.>))
Farsight was fighting another impulse to kiss Aqua again, and to help, he asks, Are you hungry...?
(( She doesn't know much about the dreamworld, other than it can get wracked up at times lol ))
"Like... Real food?" Aqua asked. She didn't know much about how the dreamworld worked, nor what it was like physically being there.
((Understandable! Even Farsight doesn't understand all that goes on here... Nor even Luna, even though she is the expert on it. It's such a deep prospect... DAM IT ROBERT JORDAN! Y U WRITE SUCH A GOOD BOOK!?))
Well... It will be as real as anything we can eat out in Equestria... Farsight explains.
"Ohh... Wow. Uhm..." Aqua didn't know what to choose, so she figured she'd let him. "I don't know... You choose." She wasn't much of a decision maker, after all.
Farsight thought for a second, thinking of everything he had eaten... He decides to bring out all the choices and have it be a smorgasbord, letting the two choose whatever they wanted. Farsight closes his eyes, and concentrates. A few feet off from where they are standing, a blanket forms with plates and plates of different kinds of food. Apples, pears, sandwiches, even some very fancy dishes from exotic locales, all appear. He opens his eyes, I couldn't decide... So I made it so we can pick and choose. Farsight walks over to the picnic area, and sits on his haunches, waiting for Aqua to join him.
(( Sorry about that, I had to connect to my laptop. ))
"So... I just think about it, and whatever food I want appears?" She'd seen something like this a while ago, but never was able to eat off of it. Aqua picked up an apple, raising it up to the light to see what it was like. The unicorn looked back down at the blanket in delight.
((You get on you laptop, I have to get off mine... Class is in 10, but I'll still have my phone, I'll just be a little bit slower.))
Farsight nods his head, It does take concentration and some practice though.... If you get distracted while thinking about it or some other thought comes to mind... You might just make an apple out of stone. Not very appetizing, trust me. He says, jokingly. Farsight levitates a sandwich to him, made with sunflowers and roses, one of his favorites, and waits for Aqua to begin eating... He never did like to start a meal.
For a moment, Aqua thought. She decided it would be too frustrating to try to summon food at the moment, so she only took a bite out of the apple. After swallowing it, she commented on it. "It tastes... Like an apple." Aqua just took another bite out of it.
It had better... Or I did something wrong. Farsight replies, Do you want it to taste different...? I could make it sweeter and crisper for you...
Aqua just giggled a bit. "I like it how it is, but crisp apples are my favorite kind." The unicorn smiled, looking around the forest. She sat down on her haunches also, sitting opposite to Farsight.
Then let them be crispier. Farsight says, closing his eyes. The apples flash for a moment and rematerialize. He opens his eyes and takes a bite of his sandwich, the taste of rose mixed with sunflower playing over his taste buds. Farsight always loved that taste, ever since he first discovered it. He smiles over at Aqua, and blushes slightly.
Getting a tad bored, Aqua decides to levitate it up, balancing it on her snout. She holds it for a few seconds before letting it fall into her hooves. The unicorn can't help but giggle a bit before taking a bite out of it.
Farsight chuckles as well, and levitates a pear into the air. Leaning his head back, he places the smaller end on the tip of his nose, and releases it. It sits there for a few seconds before rolling off and being caught by his magic again. Farsight chuckles again, taking another bite of his sandwich.
Aqua giggles a bit before stopping. "So... How's your life?" She decided she may as well start a conversation, taking a bite out of the apple and chewing it in a civil manner.
It's... Farsight began... Wanting to stay complicated, convoluted and insane, but says, It's good. How has yours been...? A small, awkward smile had spread across his face now, and he hopes he doesn't upset her with the question.
"Besides my job... Well, actually." Aqua replied, taking a bite out of the apple. She wasn't extremely hungry.
I'm glad... Farsight says. He takes one last bite out of his sandwich, not being very hungry himself, and places it back down. I know you work with rocks and all... But if you're looking for some work, I could always use help here... He tells Aqua, a hoof moving to take in their surroundings.
At first, she didn't believe him. Swallowing whatever was in her mouth, she replied. "Really?" Aqua wasn't thinking he was being serious. She knew that he wouldn't pull her leg like that, but this was different than any job's she'd thought of.
Of course... It's a very demanding job... Even with Luna being there. But she can't always be there, so I usually have to take care of things on my own... Farsight explains. He didn't want to tell her he got lonely as well, and so lets what he said stand.
"Well-I mean... I'm not sure--I'm just your average mare!" She was thinking, beginning to shake her head.
You're not to me... Farsight says, shaking his own head. He leans a little bit closer to Aqua, his eyes locked onto hers.
She knew what was going to happen, and leaned in closer to kiss him. In her head, she was thinking about the job.
As the two met, their lips touched. Farsight's mind once again cleared, the maelstrom of thoughts being cancelled out once more. He wanted to hold Aqua, he had always wanted to. And so he pulled her in closer, running a hoof through her silver mane. It was all he needed...
Aqua hugged him back, in a tight embrace. She was still thinking, unaware of Enstra's and Farsight's relationship. This was all she needed at the moment.
(( Sorry about that, I'm trying to demolish people with a statue. ))
((Well... That sounds... Interesting... I might get Amnesia and start doing "Let's Plays" for it... Or live stream it... Only problem is that my computer is like 2 feet away from the TV and I have people normally watching it during the day... #FIRSTWORLDPROBLEMS!))
As they hold each other, the world around them flickers and shifts. The landscape changes into a beach, the water gently lapping at their hooves. It was a very warm water, and the air around them was warm as well. It was almost like they were on a tropical beach.
Farsight whispers into Aqua's ear, I've.... I've always liked you Aqua... Even from the first time we met...
The unicorn took a light gasp; one of disbelief. A smile crossed her face, along with a blush that clearly contrasted her coat color. She let him continue, not uttering another word.
Farsight began to kiss her again, this time on the cheek, just to the side of her lips, and moved up toward one of her ears. He nibbles lightly on it before just holding her.
Do you like me....? Farsight asks the mare in is arms.
((Hmmmm... Don't know how close to the edge I'm getting.... Well, I can always edit it if I need to...))
(( That's what I'm thinking, too. ))
"O-Of course... I really like you..." Aqua didn't move a bit, sitting still in her position.
((And that's why I like Iwaku... You can go PG-13, and even R.... And not worry about bans... Anywho...))
Thanks... Was all Farsight said in reply, enjoying the presence of the mare he had come to like more and more over their adventures.
(( Iwaku? I've heard of it, never been. ))
Aqua nodded in response, her smile beginning to fade. She got off of her haunches, standing up. "This place... It's a nice place..."
((There's a few of us over there from here, most went over when Magus was banned. It doesn't have LiP but we do have a Banished from Equestria going on right now. And most of it's humanized... Which I don't mind, but I enjoy pony RP a lot more.))
Especially when it's not corrupted... Farsight nods, If you need time to think about working here with me... I'll give you all the time you need.
(( I never knew Magus got banned... If it's not too personal to ask, why exactly? ))
"Oh... Alright... I'm still thinking about it at the moment..." Aqua asked, in a more conversational manner.
Take all the time you need... Farsight says, looking out over the ocean. A warm breeze blew past the two, stirring their manes. He walked forward and entered the water, enjoying it's warmth. He didn't go too far though, only up to half the length of his legs.
Aqua took time to look at the environment. She slowly walked, and stopped until she was about ankle deep in the water.
Farsight looks over at Aqua as he hears her hoof steps in the water. He wants to get to know her more... But doesn't want to pry too much into her life if it wasn't something she wanted to talk about... Aqua.... How did you become blind...?
"Well, uhm.. To put it short; magic." Magic was the reason for a lot of things. Most of the things in nature, in fact. "When I was about fourteen, I was already experimenting with stones... Gemstones, to be exact... And, well... Little did I know, 'reading' gemstones was dangerous... Real dangerous... You can, kinda tell what goes on afterwards..." Aqua was more comfortable telling a close friend about this. It was what she remembered, anyways.
Wow... I'm... I'm sorry it happened... Farsight said, for some reason feeling guilty for Aqua going blind. But, it wasn't the reason why he felt guilty... Does anypony else in your family read rocks as well? He asks, wading a little bit further in, letting the water warm him.
"No; I'm the first one in the family. My brother's tried, but he can barely do it." She just shrugged. Aqua didn't know much of her family, having split from her parents only three years ago. She disconnected entirely from her brother when he left, about when she was sixteen. The unicorn stared off into the distance, out to the horizon.
Farsight nods, Do you still keep in touch with your family...? He asks, not knowing if he even had a family...
Aqua simply shook her head. "Their, uh... In a retirement home. They left me their property, and they're being taken care of, you know." She hadn't checked out any new additions to their property. It wasn't much, though.
Farsight nods his head, looking down into the water at his reflection. He hadn't told anypony about his own foalhood... Mostly because he didn't remember it. All Farsight remembers was wakign up, a 21 year old stallion with memories fading away. A slight headache began to form from thinking about his past, but he pushed it aside, thinking more. I see... Was all he said.
After a few moments of thought, Aqua responded. "Are you... Alright?" She walked forth into the cool water, deeper, about knee high for her.
I ask ponies about their past... But never talk about mine... Why, you may ask? Because I don't remember it... I don't know if I have a family, or had one... All I remember is waking up in a cave, and being found by Twilight and Ludus... Farsight stops, his head beginning to throb. His knees buckle and he falls forward, a hoof to his head. The land changes again, once more becoming the empty void, Farsight not being able to maintain it with the pain shooting through him. He lands gently on the ground and lies there.
"Farsight?" Aqua quickly trotted over to him, sitting next to him. She patted him on the back, thinking he should stop.
Farsight had stopped though, all thoughts being blasted away by the intense pain in his head. T-t-t-hanks Aq-q-qua... He says, rather shakily. All he was feeling were the after effects. Don't w-w-worry too m-m-much... It alw-w-ways happens... Farsight tries to reassure the mare. Within moments, Farsight tried to stand, his legs a bit wobbly from the ordeal, but he was up and on his hooves. He smiles at Aqua, and nuzzles her, showing his gratitude for the worry she showed.
"Farsight.. I-Shouldn't you get out of here? I mean, if this is hurting you..." She helped him stand, with a worried face. A few moments later, she looks around the void. She's going to miss her 'new' vision for a while.
Farsight shakes his head, I-i-i-t's not here... That g-g-gave me the h-hea-eadache... It was t-t-thinking about my past... He explains to Aqua, shaking his head slightly as the pain alleviates and his brain defuddles.
"Right... I, uh.. Shouldn't have said anything..." She seems glad that he's alright, and takes her hooves off of him.
That's alright... He says, his a deep bass((Finally giving him a pitch. Always been that way, just putting it out there.)). He nuzzles her again and kisses her cheek. Are you ready to head back? Or would you like to stay here longer? Farsight asks.
"I'd like to head back, go home... I just want some time to myself to think.." Aqua gave a light smile to him, glad he was feeling better right now.
((Sorry!!!! Friends and fam came over and we went to a movie. Snitch.))
Farsight nods, smiling back. He was about go open the gateway where they had entered, but hesitates. Wpild you like me to take you straight to your house, or back to the bridge...? He asks.
"The bridge... Please." Aqua's smile faded. The unicorn wanted to just take a walk, and reflect... Reflect on her thoughts, actions, and her future. Some nagging gut feeling told her that her life was going to just get harder, and she couldn't shrug it off. Aqua waited, taking a deep breath, one filled with anxiety and nervousness.
Just remember, Aqua... I'm here for you. Farsight tells her, hearing the nervousness in her voice and seeing it in her eyes. She hadn't learned how to hide her feelings in her eyes yet. He nuzzles Aqua one more time before turning back to the spot they had entered, his horn glowing gold once more. Farsight swings his head down, and the gateway opens, light from the outside world spilling in, and the trickle of water from the river could be heard. He once again moves to the side, a hoof out, signaling for her to leave.
Aqua slowly stepped forth, into the real world. As she slowly exited, her eyes began to fog, and cloud until they looked like they normally did. The unicorn exited completely, a bit saddened that her vision was gone again. She only got a brief glimpse of the world before going blind again, the spell disappearing. "Thank you, Farsight." Aqua called in a thankful tone, know having a trustful, honest friend.
Farsight looks around as she exits, taking in his second home. He used to live here when he travelled, creating a house from nothing, and enjoying the place... But, since moving to this realm, he had decided to live there, a house closer to his friends. "You're welcome, Aqua." Farsight says, walking out of the gateway himself. It slowly sealed behind him, a wound closing. It held more of meaning for Farsight, signifying the wound caused by Xin was healed... It would still hurt him, but he no longer feared the Dreamworld.
And, thank you... Aqua... Farsight says to himself.
