The Legend of the Cursed Moon of the Sea (RP)

[Chirp]

"I'm thinking everywhere is a trap now. And this is the fastest way back to the others. We should also pick up somepony on the way. We kind of split up at some point." Majem explained.

[InsaneMar]

(( Holy buck.. figures the time I'm in class all day is the day it gets exciting. ))

Rigor stayed motionless, the only thing moving was her ears as they twitched at the conversation between the stallions.  A frown on her face as she watched the tribespony become irate where the white one seemed to be amused by all this.  He doesn't seem worried about that kelpie-like pony.  Perhaps he really isn't dangerous, though that doesn't explain how powerful this pony seems to think he is. she thought to herself.  When the tribepony left the white Canterlot speaking pony she was about to make plans to back up and tell the others.  Feeling chilled to the bone when the white pony smirked and spoke to her as she thought, So, he knew I was listening to him.  Brilliant...

She debated for a moment running to tell the group, though that bolt of defiance and need to protect them ran though her.  Standing tall as she walked towards him and out of the bushes, "Hello, I'm afraid I only know your friend's name."

[DominoEffect]

The white pony warmly grins in her direction as Rigor shows herself, he then, like a showpony, rears on his hind legs with unnatural grace and bows like a bipedal creature would...
"Ah, always nice to have somepony upon this island to actually have an intelligent conversation with, and what a fine mare you are, my dear." it dawns on Rigor that the white pony is attempting to flatter her, dropping down onto all four hooves as he trots over to her she sees that his eyes are perhaps the oddest thing to ponykind, black orbs that shined like marble with tiny red pinprick pupils. The pony before Rigor is more joyously unnerving than scary...
"Domino Effect..." the pony introduces himself as "Trickster of Trottingham, Conniver of Canterlot, Prankster of Ponyville, at your service. No doubt you have questions to ask, Ms...?"

WHACK! The creature from before slams into the back of Blues, pony and saxaphone seperated as the creature tumbles to a halt against a nearby tree, many parts of it shattering off into the bush, including a [glow=black,2,300]strange, glowing object[/glow]. Majem rushes to assist Blues, but out of the corner of his eye he sees the creature rejoining itself back together, the lights in it's eye-sockets flickering back on as it lets out an ethereal hiss, blue fire beginning to smoulder within it's body as the [glow=black,2,300]strange, glowing object[/glow] fixes itself to the creature's chestpiece.

[Chirp]

"Are you alright?!" Majem asks, as he rushes over to help Blues get back on his hooves.
"Ponyfeathers! Looks like we have to fight!" He says as the creature reassembles before them. The sight of it frightens Majem, but the adrenaline coming from the sudden action made him ignore being scared. In fact, he was ready to fight, more than ever.

"Go for that strange object on his chestpiece. I bet that's what's keeping him "alive"." Majem said to Blues. He didn't know what Blue was capable of, but Majem needed some more time to think about what to do, before doing anything himself.

[Blues-Music]

"Ugh my head." Blues says while scratching it."I told you we should have fought him."

"Well then I guess its time to fight."Blues says as he goes into a fighting stance.

[Chirp]

"Terribly sorry, friend. I won't waste another opportunity like that." Majem said and shifted his eyes between the creature and Blues. For a second, he looks over at the saxophone, though he doubts it'd be of any use now.

"What are the options, pal? I'm not sure how you handle your fights, but I can provide some distraction if you want." He says, while his horn begins to glow.

[InsaneMar]

She smirked a bit at Domino's attempt to flatter her, "Cute, forgive me if I don't fall head over hooves at your attempts to be charming.  It's quite hard to focus on words when I saw you speaking quite friendly to a pony that not too long ago tried to harm my friends and I."  Rigor looked at him amused, she could play the gentle-mare from Canterlot, "Though you are correct Sir Effect, I do have plenty of questions to ask.  First one would be," she paused dropping her innocent and gentle act, "Why shouldn't I try to overcome you and drag you by your tail to the others?"

[Blues-Music]

Blues looks over to his saxophone."Yeah I got an idea if you can distract him."

[Chirp]

"On it!" Majem said and jumped towards the creature. Before he landed on the ground, he cast his spell, turning his body into water.
The water pony landed with a splash and charged at the strange creature. He threw himself against the enemy, which had the same effect as throwing a bucket of water in his face. The scattered water reassembled behind the strange creature.
"Come on, over here!" He yelled at the creature and quickly glanced over to Blues to see how he was doing.
((Fight scenes. Bleh.))

[Blues-Music]

"well that was unexpected." Blues says with a  face.He then looks at his saxophone , and runs towards it.He grabs it , and starts playing the song of hallucination.

[Chirp]

Majem thinks he knows what Blues is up to and makes his ears swirl like two little whirlpools. Majem hears nothing but the flow of his ears now.
((Hey, I'm not a fighter  ))

[DominoEffect]

The creature hisses, rearing itself up against Majem, but upon hearing Blues playing it turns it's attention to him, swaying a little drunkenly from the sound. It gives a low hiss before stumbling towards him, barbs along it's forelegs unsheathing as it clumsily begins to run at the pony. Majem will have to think fast, in order to keep the hallucinogenic spell functioning Blues isn't able to take evasive maneuvers!

Domino gives a small chuckle, continuing to circle her like a hunter and it's prey...
"You will have to forgive Sacrifice Stone, he has been...'out of touch', shall I say...with the rest of the world for a very long time. As for your question..." Domino loops around, standing before her. Tall and lanky, he has to look down to Rigor "...nothing is stopping you from trying, my dear. In fact I would be pleasantly surprised if you could, but consider this. Those ponies with whom you are with, have they congratulated you on overcoming your hardships? The waterpony and Sir Pants are well congratulated, and they merely walked onto the island." he begins to walk around her again "This is not an invitation to join Sacrifice Stone's abhorrent army, no, far from it. In fact, I am here to offer you a deal. If you do not accept, then I shall remain as a gear in the background and you will have no hope of stopping me even if Sacrifice Stone...ceases his activities." The pony walks by her eyes again, only this time she can see two stumps on his back, the reminants of pegasi wings "Accept, and the rewards can be phenomenal..."

[Blues-Music]

Blues keeps playing , and he is almost out of breath he is pointing to the stone in his chest as if he meant now is your chance.

[Chirp]

Majem gets what Blues is trying to tell him, but he is worried.
"I know, but I'm not sure I'm strong or fast enough to break it while he's moving... Wait, of course!"

Majem jumps onto the strange creature and pulls his head away from Blues, trying to get the thing to run into a tree again.
"He just shatterd into pieces last time, I hope it works again." He thinks to himself as he's riding on the creature's back.

[InsaneMar]

Rigor's eyes followed him as he circled her but she didn't move her head, when he was out of her vision and behind her she was unnerved.  Her eyes quickly moving to the other side to catch him again as he continued circling her, her ears twitched at his words.  She didn't like what he was saying though she wasn't sure if it was because she had the doubt in her mind already or the fact he thought he could persuade her.  Her eyes landed on the stumps on his back, reminding her of Moonlight and how he would be so crushed if he lost those.  In hopes to distract her own nagging doubt Domino was placing in her mind about those she left she commented on the stumps, "What happened to your wings?  I mean if you expect me to listen to your proposal, not to say I'll accept, it would be important to know if it involves losing limbs as you seemed to have done."

[DominoEffect]

Between the waterpony riding the stumbling creature and the solid birch tree, nature always seemed to prevail. With a sharp crash the creature clips the tree, Majem flying off it's back and thudding to the ground. Whilst the ground is solid and covered in twigs and leaves, Majem escapes with minor bruising that can easily be shrugged off. Blues, seeing the creature downed by Majem's efforts, ceases playing and takes a gratifying breath. The [glow=black,2,300]strange, glowing object[/glow] seems more like glass than anything, a good heafty pound from a stone or other hard material would easily crack it open. It would be best to hurry, however, as Majem's wounding of the creature only seems temporary.

The wingless pegasus gives the slightest grimace at the mention of his wings "I wish such injuries could be put down to the fault of another, my dear..." Domino says softly, the stumps on his back twitching as if to mimic wing movements "...alas, my wingless appearance was but my own fault. It seems that magic was not meant to be shared by others beyond those gifted with horns, especially one so wretched as I." Domino shivers as he seems to experience repressed feelings "Such vile agony, but I have overcome my disability with the help of another." His strange eyes look into hers, a glimmer of mischief alongside a search for understanding "If you so wish, I shall take you to him. Maybe, if madam so wishes, she may consider the deal I shall propose along the way?"

[InsaneMar]

Rigor blinked and looked at him, feeling bad about his condition even if it was his own fault.  She stared into his eyes, feeling as if this could be a trap though she was far too curious and really what could a handicapped pegasus do?  "I suppose there isn't any harm in seeing who helped you overcome your injury.  You don't have to keep calling me madam, Rigor is fine."  She didn't comment on the deal beyond saying, "I can't stop you speaking so you can say all you want."

[Chirp]

"Ugh, that was more painful than I expected." Majem thinks as he picks himself up. A quick look at the creature shows him that it's the perfect time to strike. He didn't hesitate a second, and picked up the nearest rock. Majem stood up on his hind legs to gain some more height, and smashed the strange object with it.

[DominoEffect]

With a loud crack the [glow=black,2,300]strange, glowing object[/glow] is shattered, and a whispy blue something emerges from beneath the stone. The creature gives a rattling whinny before the lights in its eyes dim, the body collapsing until it is but inanimate wood and iron once more. The whispy blue thing turns to Majem as it's shape briefly takes on that of a pony, a young mare with a sad smile on her face...
"Thank you..." the shape says in a quiet voice, before it is blown away by a chill wind.
What in the hay just happened?

Domnio courteously bows to Rigor, and gestures the earth pony to follow him...
"Thank you, my dear Rigor, not many ponies are as understanding as you. The proposition I have in mind is simple enough, though it may take a length of time to fufil..." they walk into the bushes, a less used dirt trail sloping down towards a large ditch where Domino, insetad of continuing along the path, takes a sharp left towards a cave "...the objective I have in mind should be easy for a pony so capable of yourself. I require the ponies of which you arrived here with to be slowed down on their progress across the island. Slowed, but not stopped..." he halts at the mouth of the cave, where a stamp of his hoof shoots a spark of crackling red lightning up and along the wall, igniting several, precariously spaced lanterns "...Come along Rigor, must not keep him waiting..."
The two blades and the stone club seem to be looking like your only way of defending yourself, but Domino wouldn't want to hurt you especially after what he just proposed, right?

[InsaneMar]

Rigor followed Domino, her eyes gave a mischievous sparkle as she looked around and focused on memorizing the specific bushes that went to the trail as well as where the sharp left was.  "Why would you need the ponies slowed down?" she questioned him, blinking at the cave a bit nervous about going into somewhere that was cramped and would make it hard to escape or fight if things went wrong.  She could feel the weight in her saddlebag that held the weapons she did bring, still she only had one mouth.  What could an injured pegasus do after all?  Stepping in as she followed him, "It doesn't make much sense, you would either want ponies here or not.  Slowing them down seems like you are playing with them."
