((This starts on the summer solstice.))
Angel's Breath and Dark Hooves are swimming in a lake distant from Ponyville.
Angel's Breath: I'm really enjoying myself Darky. Thanks for bringing me to the largest lake in Ponyville.
Dark Hooves: You're welcome sweetie. (he dives and starts swimming down to the bottom of the lake and after a couple minutes he returns to the surface)
Angel's Breath: Is everything alright?
Dark Hooves: (after catching his breath) Yes, everything is fine. I saw something at the bottom of the lake.
Angel's Breath: What did you find?
Dark Hooves: I'm not sure, but it looks like an airship. (gets out of the water then enters a meditative state) Clear my mind. (his horn glows with his golden aura which surrounds the airship and starts lifting it from the bottom of the lake)
The surface of the water is being disturbed by the movement of the airship being lifted off of the lake bottom. The bow of the airship breaks the surface of the water.
Angel's Breath: It's huge!
Dark Hooves lifts the airship the rest of the way out of the water and lays it on the soft sand nearby.
Dark Hooves: (breathing heavily) I...did...it.
They look upon the ancient airship struck silent in awe.
After a few moments Angel's Breath and Dark Hooves snap out of it
Angel's Breath: What kind of airship is this? (looking at what appears to be focusing lenses on the ship)
Dark Hooves: It appears to be some sort of combat capable airship. (looks at the side of the bow), (reading) E.R.N.V. Stormwind.
((Equestrian Royal Naval Vessel is what E.R.N.V. means))
Angel's Breath: (looking at the rotten wood and rusted metal) This is one old airship.
Dark Hooves: Yeah, it's going to take a lot of work to make it air worthy again, but she will fly again.
Angel's Breath: She?
Dark Hooves: That is what most ponies that own a yacht say.
Angel's Breath: Yeah.
Dark Hooves: Well I'm going to need to get some wood and metal to repair this ship.
Angel's Breath: Alright Darky.
Dark Hooves flies off to the lumber mill and lands at the door then knocks on it.
Timber Jack: (opens the door) How may I help you sir?
Dark Hooves: I need a lot of wood.
Timber Jack: I have plenty of that. Any specific amount?
Dark Hooves: I think it would be better if I show you how much I need instead of telling. Please follow me. (starts running to where the decrepit airship is at)
Timber Jack: Will do sir. (follows him)
After 45 minutes they arrive at the ship's location.
Timber Jack: (looking at the airship) Take a gander at that!
Dark Hooves: Yeah, she's a beauty isn't she?
Timber Jack: She does need some work though.
Dark Hooves: How much wood do you think will be needed to fix her up?
Timber Jack: Almost the entire bow needs new wood. Which I'll bring you all that you need on one condition.
Dark Hooves: That would be?
Timber Jack: I get to ride this baby when she's air worthy.
Dark Hooves: You've got yourself a deal. (holds his hoof out)
Timber Jack: Alright then. (grabs his hoof and starts shaking it) I'll get the wood here as soon as possible. (starts running back to the lumber mill)
Dark Hooves: Angel, could you please watch over the airship until I get a metal worker and seamstress here to see this airship?
Angel's Breath: Sure Darky. (she lies down next to the airship)
Dark Hooves: Thanks sweetie. I won't be gone long.
Angel's Breath: You're welcome.
Dark Hooves flies off to the steel mill.
Ironclad: Welcome good sir, how may I assist you today?
Dark Hooves: I need some steel custom made for an airship.
Ironclad: An airship you say? Interesting. May I see it?
Dark Hooves: Of course, but I also need to find a seamstress too for making the balloon to give it lift.
Ironclad: Yeah, you'll need that too.
Dark Hooves and Ironclad run to the seamstress shop. Dark Hooves knocks on the door.
Satin Lace: Greetings dear gentlecolt, what do you need help with?
Dark Hooves: Hello, I really could use your help with making a large balloon for an airship.
Satin Lace: An airship?! (stammers excitedly)
Dark Hooves: Yes, will you help me?
Satin Lace: I'll be happy to help, don't worry I've made plenty of balloons for those yachts you see flying around.
Dark Hooves: Thanks please follow me. (starts running back to the airship)
Satin Lace and Ironclad follow Dark Hooves to the decrepit airship.
Angel's Breath: Darky! (gets up and runs over to him almost knocking him over) Sorry.
Dark Hooves: That's alright sweetie. (rubs his face on hers)
Satin Lace: That's so sweet.
Ironclad: (clears throat) We do have something to do here.
Dark Hooves: Oh right, sorry.
Ironclad: (looking at the airship) Impressive, although it does need work.
Satin Lace: It also needs the balloon which I'll have to make from scratch.
Dark Hooves: I would like for it to have armor over the top of the balloon and on the bow.
Ironclad: Alright, but what's in it for me?
Satin Lace: Me too.
Dark Hooves: You both will be paid for your services, that is unless you want something else.
Ironclad: (examining the airship) I would like for you to give my son Steel Falcon a job being a deckhand on your airship.
Satin Lace: I would like for you to have me as your second in command if that is alright with you.
Dark Hooves: Very well, your son will be working for me. (looks at Satin Lace) You'll be my second in command when the airship is ready.
Ironclad: Alright. I guess I'll go get the metal for you and get right to work.
Satin Lace: I guess I'll be getting to work too.
Dark Hooves: Alright, just remember there isn't any rush and pace yourself.
Ironclad and Satin Lace return to their places of business, which Ironclad starts making steel plate armor for the airship and Satin Lace gathers her strongest non-porous fabric and starts cutting and sewing the pieces together with strong thread.
Angel's Breath: What are we to do with the airship?
Dark Hooves: It's not going anywhere, but I guess I can stay here to keep an eye on it so nopony tries anything.
Angel's Breath: I guess I'd better get home.
Dark Hooves: I'm not sure how long I'll be staying here so I'll need you to bring me food.
Angel's Breath: Of course, I can do that for you Darky.
Dark Hooves: Thanks sweetie.
Angel's Breath: Alright Darky I'll be back in a little while with food.
Dark Hooves: Ok Angel.
Angel's Breath flies back to her home then unlocks the door and heads inside.
((you all may join in after reading this))
ace sees the airship whoa, that sure is a good looking airship
Dark Hooves: Yeah I know. I found it at the bottom of this lake.
((Is OC Ace a unicorn?))
cool
(yep)
Dark Hooves: I wonder what these lenses are for? Ace can you fire a beam of mana into this lens? I'm curious about what this is for. (aims the lens at a nearby boulder)
sure he fires a beam of mana into the lens
The lens focuses the beam and destroys the boulder.
Dark Hooves: O: So that is what it does.
that's amazing O:
Dark Hooves: Yes it is. Would you like to be the command officer? You'll get to repeat my orders at the crew when we have enough ponies.
((the air ship has 6 focusing lenses, 2 on the bow, 2 mid-ship, and 2 on the stern, all of which can rotate 360 degrees))
sure, i don't see why not
Dark Hooves: Alright, I'll have Rarity make you a hat with that rank insignia on it for you and everypony else that a part of the crew.
alright
Dark Hooves: You're welcome to stay here while the airship is being fixed up.
sure, i don't see why not
Dark Hooves enters the captain's quarters gesturing to Ace to follow him and sits down on the floor.

((OH! Imma join tomorrow! Ancient Relic is the full name of my OC Relic! yay! lol))
*he follows him*
((that's fine GM, welcome and have fun))
Dark Hooves: She may not be much right now, but hopefully soon she'll be able to fly.
((in case you forgot the airship's name is E.R.N.V Stormwind))
fllufy walk near stromwind try grab butterflies
she will, sooner or later
Dark Hooves: I already have some ponies working on that, which will be a little while until all of the metal, wood, and fabric is ready and is installed on the airship.
about that, if you need somepony to help with putting the metal and everything in place, maybe tezaku blues could help, he can do anything with metal and any material
Dark Hooves: Alright, you can help when it gets here. Which should be tomorrow or the day after.
alright, i'll go tell him when it's here
Timber Jack returns with some of his workers pulling a large cart full of lumber pre-cut and ready to use as well as the tools they need to starts removing the old boards and placing the new ones.
Timber Jack: Alright, lets get started fixing her up.
(Sorry Sorry!! :c)
Relic walks in the woods, until he see's a bunch of ponies with a whole bunch of wood.
I wonder what there doing, I should find out.
Dark Hooves is standing on the bow looking around when he sees what looks like a pony and flies over to him.
Dark Hooves: Hello there, you're new. Wait a second....You're not all pony are you?

He stares at him...
No, I'm a DragonPony.
Dark Hooves: A dragon-pony you say, interesting.

Dark Hooves: A dragon-pony you say, interesting.
Name's Relic...What going on over there?
Dark Hooves: Nice to meet you Relic, this is an airship I found at the bottom of a lake.

Dark Hooves: Nice to meet you Relic, this is an airship I found at the bottom of a lake.
An... Airship? What's an... Airship?
Dark Hooves: I imagine you've seen those yachts flying around, it's like those but bigger.
A red earth pony carring a huge sword on the reaches the work site.
Blitz: Wooohoo! Whatever this thing is, it's awesome!
Dark Hooves: Hello there. My name is Dark Hooves, it's an honor to meet you.
The stallion approaches to Dark Hooves and gives him a vigorous hoofshake
Blitz: Hello! I'm Flaming Blitz, nice to meet you!
Dark Hooves: Flaming Blitz, interesting name you have. If you're wondering about the airship, I found it at the bottom of a lake.
Blitz: Wooo O: Are you repairing it?
Dark Hooves: Yes I am and hopefully she'll be ready to fly when all of the repairs are finished. By the way the name of the airship is E.R.N.V. Stormwind.
((E.R.N.V. means Equestrian Royal Navy Vessel))
Blitz: Hey, do you need help with it? I can help!
Pale Flare and Laebenal are walking close and they see the airship. They start to walk towards it and Pale Flare spots Dark. "Woah! Hey Dark, what is that thing?!" He shouts to him.
Dark Hooves: Sure thing, please talk to Timber Jack, he's in charge of replacing all of the old wood with new wood. (looks at Pale Flare and Laebenal) This is an airship I found at the bottom of a lake.
Blitz: Ok, where I can find him?
The two nightmares walk closer. "It's bigger than the ones I've seen before." Pale Flare says. "Does it fly?" Laebenal asks.
Dark Hooves: She can't fly just yet, but once all of the repairs are done she will be able to. (looks at Blitz) He's over there by the large pile of lumber. (points toward him)
Blitz: Ok (runs to where Dark pointed untill he finds him) Hey Timber Jack, need any help?
Timber Jack: Absolutely, you can start by taking that pry bar and removing the old boards so the others can place the new ones. (points to it)
Blitz: Yes sir! (he put down the huge sword making a heavy sound, takes the pry bar and uses it to remove the old boards quite fast)
Timber Jack: WATCH WHERE YOU'RE THROWING THE BOARDS YOU NEARLY HIT SOMEPONY! (dodges one of the boards)
Blitz: (stops) uhm? Oh! Sorry, sometimes I can not control my strength X3(starts to take remove the boards slower)
Timber Jack: (slightly annoyed) That's alright, sorry about yelling at you. I don't need my workers getting hurt.
"Ah, okay." Laebenal says and takes a closer look on the airship. "Well.. Have fun flying it when you have fixed it..."
Blitz: No problem, I will be more careful.
Dark Hooves: I will. (looks at Pale Flare) I could use another unicorn on one of the focus lenses.
"And what is that?" Pale Flare says.
Flaming Blitz finishes to remove the old boards
Blitz: I finished to remove those ol' boards, should start to put the new ones?
Quote from: Laebenal on 2013 Apr 28, 14:30:47
"And what is that?" Pale Flare says.
Relic keeps staring at the Airship...
Dark Hooves: It focuses your mana and makes it stronger. Ace tested them already which they all work.
"Aand what am I supposed t do?" Pale Flare says and looks around. He sees Relic. "Who's that?" He says pointing at Relic.
Quote from: Laebenal on 2013 Apr 28, 14:44:51
"Aand what am I supposed t do?" Pale Flare says and looks around. He sees Relic. "Who's that?" He says pointing at Relic.
Relic looks at Pale Flare
I'm Relic. He continues to stare at the Airship
I've never seen something like this before...
Dark Hooves: All you do is fire a beam of mana into the lens and it does the rest.
"And how do I do that?" Pale Flare says and takes a look on Relic. "Is he allright?"
Dark Hooves: I think it would be better if Ace showed you how to do that. (looks at Relic then back to Pale Flare) He's just fascinated by the airship. (faces the airship) HEY ACE, YOU MIND COMING OUT HERE FOR A MOMENT.
Timber Jack: Yeah sure, take this hammer (sets it in front of him) and securely nail the boards to the frame. You'll also a tool belt which you can get one from the cart we brought here.
((sorry WMW, I forgot to post that to your reply earlier X3 ))
(( DD:))
Flaming Blitz takes the hammer and then takes the belt, then starts to nail the board to the frame dosing his force.
Dark Hooves: (walks over to Timber Jack) How are the repairs coming along?
Timber Jack: They're coming along nicely, thanks mostly to him. (points towards Flaming Blitz)
Dark Hooves: Who's that?
Timber Jack: That's Flaming Blitz, he wanted to help so I gave the task of removing the old boards and placing the new ones.
Dark Hooves: Well I'll leave you all to it.
Timber Jack: Alright then.
Dark Hooves walks back over to Pale Flare.
Dark Hooves: The repairs are coming along quite nicely.
Laebenal is walking around the lake a bit depressed.
Dark Hooves sees Laebenal and walks over to her.
Dark Hooves: Is something wrong?
((she's so far that you have to run... oh well...))
Laebenal turns to Dark and says: "You get to ride that thing but I don't..."
Dark Hooves: I'll give you a ride on the airship when she's ready to fly.
*sigh* "I'm a wild creature but still smarter than you..." Laebenal says and continues walking.
Dark Hooves: What is it with you and not wanting to fly?
"That has nothing to do with this." Laebenal says and leaps on a branch of nearby tree with the help of her wings.
Dark Hooves: What's the matter then?
"The safety of everypony." Laebenal says and lies down on the branch.
Dark Hooves: Don't worry I'll put safety harnesses on the airship so anypony that doesn't have wings won't fall and get injured.
Quote from: Dark Hooves on 2013 Apr 30, 18:05:10
Dark Hooves: Don't worry I'll put safety harnesses on the airship so anypony that doesn't have wings won't fall and get injured.
Are you gonna use this for anything special? he walks to Dark Hooves.
"You just don't understand..." Laebenal says and jumps down from the branch. She starts to walk back to the airship.
Dark Hooves: To protect all of Equestria and all of ponykind. (follows Laebenal) What do I not understand?
"I'll let you to figure it out." Laebenal says.
Dark Hooves: Alright. (flies onto the airship and walks into the captain's cabin) Oh you're still here Ace, I did ask you to lend me a hoof with something.
((going by what Tezaku put for his last post for this RP))
Laebenal walks to Pale Flare. "Why are you standing there and poking the ground?" She asks from him. "Well, Ace was supposed to show me thing that Dark wanted but he hasn't shown up yet." He says back. "Oh, okay." Laebenal says and sits down.
((I guess we wait until Tezaku gets on and replies.))
hmm, it will probably be accurate if I help with anything, it you need any help. Relic goes to dark hooves.
seeing what had happened two years ago, maybe I should... he whispers.
Dark Hooves: (sees Relic eter the captain's quarters) Hey there Relic, do you need something?
Quote from: Dark Hooves on 2013 May 04, 07:11:45
Dark Hooves: (sees Relic eter the captain's quarters) Hey there Relic, do you need something?
Do you need any more help? because you seem determined in your plan. you remind me of a good friend that I helped, 2 years ago...
Dark Hooves: Sure, when the metalworker and seamstress get back here you can help.
Quote from: Dark Hooves on 2013 May 05, 16:40:58
Dark Hooves: Sure, when the metalworker and seamstress get back here you can help.
Alright He walks out.
Ironclad arrives with several workers pulling a large cart full of pre-fabricated steel.
Ironclad: Alright, let's get started. (he and his workers start off-loading the metal)
Blitz: (finish to put the new boards) Hey, I finished putting the new boards. What can I do now?
Dark Hooves: (flies outside then to Blitz) The metalworker just got here, you can help him along with Relic.
Blitz: Who's Relic?
Dark Hooves: He's a dragon-pony, but don't worry he's friendly.
Blitz: A dragon-pony :l
Dark Hooves: I understand that most dragons are enemies of us ponies, but he's different from them. He's part pony which makes him worth giving a chance.
Blitz: Alright, I'll give him a chance... Where can I found him?
((Relic is a colt))
Dark Hooves: He's somewhere by the airship.
((Oh, sorry X3))
Blitz: I'll look for him around here
Quote from: Weremetalwolf on 2013 May 06, 08:47:47
((Oh, sorry X3))
Blitz: I'll look for him around here
Relic watches the crowd fix the machine.
((Sorry again for very late absence!!)
Dark Hooves: There he is, he's watching the ponies fixing the airship down there. (he points to him)
Blitz: Thanks, I'll see what I can do... (goes to Relic) Excuse me, are you Relic?
Dark Hooves: (thinking) I hope this goes well.
Relic stares at him, then says, Yea I am, Who are you?
Blitz: I'm Flaming Blitz, that alicorn, Dark Hooves if I remember correctly, told me that I could assist you with the repairs of the ship.
Sure, lets go.
Flaming Blitz follows Relic to help him repairing the ship
He keeps an eye on Blitz as they both work on fixing the airship.
Relic notices Dark Hooves staring at Blitz, but continues on.
"I think he's not able to come now. Well, we could take a look on this airship now." Pale Flare says. "Okay." Laebenal says and gets up. They start to walk around the airship to fully see it.
He decides that Blitz won't do anything to harm Relic and flies over to Laebenal and Pale Flare.
Dark Hooves: Do you need anything like food or drinks friends?
"No thanks." Pale Flare says. "You know it's a bit strange to find a thing like this at the bottom of a lake and in such a good condition." He says.
Dark Hooves: My only guess is that being a fresh water lake it didn't rot away the wood as fast as salt water would have.
"Well, I don't know that much about rotting so maybe you are right." Pale Flare says.
Dark Hooves: Are you two any good at sewing, I'm sure the seemstress could use your help when she arrives.
"Hmm... No, my "mother" did not teach me anything about sewing and I don't think Laebenal can do it." Pale Flare says and Laebenal nods.
Dark Hooves: I guess I'll find somepony else then since I can't sew either. (chuckles slightly)
"Okay. I hope we could be more useful." Pale Flare says and they continue looking around.
Dark Hooves: How hot is your fire magic Pale Flare?
"Depends on spell." Pale Flare answers.
Dark Hooves: If you want you can heat up the metal making it easier to bend into the needed shape, just do it the way Ironclad wants.
"Well... That might get messy." Pale Flare says. "Not the best spells for that but I guess we can try."
Dark Hooves: Alright, you need to talk to Ironclad for that because I know nothing about forging anything else other than a sword.
"That's more than what I know... Can you tell me where I find him?" Pale Flare says.
Dark Hooves: He's near the bow of the ship.
"Okay. We'll go there and see what we can do." Pale Flare says.
Dark Hooves: Aright, I guess I'll talk to you later.
"Okay. See you then!" Pale Flare says and the two goes to meet Ironclad.
Ironclad is busy barking orders at his workers and doesn't notice them walking towards him.
"Umm... Are you Ironclad?" Pale Flare asks From Ironclad.
Ironclad: That I am, how may I help you two?
"Dark said that we could help here heating up the metal pieces." Pale Flare says.
Ironclad: Sweet, go ahead and get started then. (starts barking orders at one of his workers)
"But what do we need to do?" pale Flare asks. "He seems not to be bothered about our appearance." Laebenal whispers to Pale Flare. "Not everypony have to." Pale Flare whispers to her.
Ironclad: My bad you too, you can heat up the metal with whatever means you know how, I'll have one of my workers bend the metal into the required shape.
"Okay. Let's first try your fire exhale Laebenal." Pale Flare says. "Fine..." Laebenal says and exhales fire on the metal piece not heating it enough.
Ironclad: I can tell you two are new to this, you need to heat it up to 800 degreees Fehreinheit.
"We'll try. We'll try..." Pale Flare says and tries to heat the metal enough with his firewall but it didn't work well enough.
Ironclad: Do you posess fire magic miss? (referring to Laebenal)
"As I know pegasus can't use magic." Laebenal says. "Hmm... What would do the job without breaking the metal?" Pale Flare thinks aloud.
Flaming Blitz is repairing the ship and thinks that if he was going to work with Relic would be a good idea to try to be friendly with him "So Relic, where do you come from?" Biltz asks.
Ironclad: We bend the metal with that over there. (pointing at the tube bender)
"Yes. Yes... I just thought about my magic." Pale Flare says and tries to heat the metal with a couple of fireballs.
Ironclad: Alright, I'll leave you two to that and check on the others.
"Hmm... What if?" Pale Flare says and focuses the fireballs in one spot heating them up and then increasing their size to make them cover the whole metal.
((explaining things in English is so hard X3))
Ironclad barks orders at his workers.
Pale Flare focuses his magic on the fireballs making them dissappear and heating the metal enough to make it glow red. "Well, that kinda worked." He says.
Ironclad: Now bend it into shape before it cools.
One of his workers does so then installs the piece.
"Hmm... How many metal pieces you need to bend?" Pale Flare asks from Ironclad.
Ironclad: Seven more.
"Okay. I think I am able to do this before I get completely exhausted." Pale Flare says and creates new fireballs. "Back to work then." He says and starts to do the same thing again.
He smiles then returns to barking orders at his workers.
