open The Middle Of Nowhere In Particular

Examining the wound, Overdrive stated, "I'm not sure you'll be able to walk on it. It looks pretty deep. You definitely will be fine as long as we change the bandage every so often."

He stood back up. "By the way, I'm Overdrive. I ran over when I heard the screaming. Is everypony else OK?" He continued surveying the area.

"Everyone's okay except for you," Amber said to the mare, sounding reproachful. In a slightly more comforting voice, she said, "Stay off that leg for a while, it should be fine. Make sure the bandage is nice and tight." Amber offered a sympathetic smile, trying to relax.

"Does anypony here know any healing spells?" She asked, as she tried to help the mare out of the tent. "...And secondly, does anypony know where we are?"

 

((Healing spells won't actually work, but if somepony tries one, it'll be a good way for us to discover that magic does t work here.))

[Overdrive 5,366]

Overdrive turned to the unicorn mare. "I guess we're all in the same position then. I have no idea where we are either."

He looks all the ponies over, and asks, "Who are you guys, anyway? We might as well get to know one another, for the sake of surviving."

Overdrive began to think. As he did, he spoke. "Do you have enough food and water?"

Rising looks around, but can't think of something to make the fire for the camp fire. He walks to the tent in.

 

"Uhh, I try to make a warm camp fire, I got the things for it, but no idea, how do make a fire. Anypony know that?"

 

He looks to all of them.

 

"Am I blind or are we getting more? Anyway, we should really stick together. Who knows, what is outside from here ..."

[Kankuro 233]

Lightning comes back from his unfocused like dream state. He notices there are a lot more ponies around him than before.


Lightning stood up. "I'm Lightning. An you're right. None of us know where the hell we are."


He looked over to the blue pegasus. 

"He's right, we gotta stick together. None of us know where we are, or who put us here. And I sure as hell want to find out, we especially gotta take care of her." He nodded down at the mare.

[Overdrive 5,366]

Overdrive nodded in response. He then turned to the blue pegasus. "A fire would be useful." His stomach growls. "Really useful. If you can go find some wood and kindling, I can use one of my horseshoes and strike it against a rock to produce a spark."

 

He turned towards the group. "The sooner we get a fire started, the sooner we can get warm, and maybe cook something to eat. We might also be able to cauterize her wound," referring to the injured mare laying on the ground in discomfort.

 

Overdrive then turned to Lightning, and asked, "Can you think of anything else we might need, that could be scrounged up?"

[Kankuro 233]

"I can't think of anything. Some of us should go out now to look for supplies."

Lightning looked up at the swiftly darkening sky.

"And we need to move fast, we won't handle through the night without anything. I'm going now, you guys stay here to protect each other and make a fire. I'm going to see if I can get through some of the brush and find something in the Jungle. If I'm not back by Sunrise you guys will know there's something out there."

Lightning then turned an ran to the North side of the Jungle wall.
 

[Overdrive 5,366]

Overdrive braced the injured mare, as she tried to stand. "Just a suggestion, but maybe it would be better for you if somepony carried you. If you'd like, I can carry you." He smiled as he spoke, despite the difficult situation the group faced.

 

He then had another thought. Overdrive took the goggles off of his forehead, and used them to direct the sunlight towards the fire pit. As the light intensified, a fire sprouted up, and began to burn.

 

"Has anypony seen that blue pegasus? I really need that firewood."

[Overdrive 5,366]

Taken aback by the comment, Overdrive responded, "I was just trying to be polite, that's all. Plus, keeping weight off of that leg will help the healing process."

 

Stoking the fire the best he could, Overdrive waited for the blue pegasus to return with the firewood. He turned back towards the injured mare. "I, uh, never got your name. I'm Overdrive, but everypony calls me OD."

[child of the night 271]

Synth woke up dazed from her sleep and surveyed her surroundings. She tried to bring up a memory on how she got into this tent but she felt nothing coming from her thoughts. Trying to stand up in the small tent she ended up falling and realized with a hoof to her face that she didn't open the tent flap. Quietly zipping it open she stepps out to see a pony pointing his goggles at a pile of sticks. Synth found this really funny untill the fire came to life. Seing the "yellow flower" (thats what she calls fire) Synth paused for a moment in fear gives a yelp and gallops into a bush near the makeshift pit.

"Exactly. More firewood? I'm on my way, be careful."

 

Rising walks back out, back into the jungle, still close to the camp. He looks around, taking everything, that could work for it. He then comes back with it.

 

"Well, it's not much, but that's all I found around. I'm not going deep into the jungle, too scared to find out, what is deep in it. Here."

 

He lays it down near the red pegasi, looking around.

[Lordav 3,427]

"Well we will have to go in there eventually..."

 

Lordy was looking around;

 

"Has anybody notice that there is no drinkable water or a food supply here, whatsoever?"

 

Lordy had been in the Equestrian millitary and, even if he couldn't remember it, he had some small flashes of survival training.

 

"And I think we should really consider sharing chores..."

[Kankuro 233]

Lightning broke through the wall of brush, leaving a short trail behind him. He didn't want to go too far, he might get lost. 

He finally stepped out into a clearing. And he couldn't believe what he saw.

Sleeping bags, Canned Food, some meat, water bottles, and a few ponds. It was everywhere, but Lightning knew then it wasn't going to last. He saw 8 large backpacks.

It was helpful, but also mighty terrifying.

It was as if, whoever put them there, was thinking they would be staying a while. 

But that's when he heard it. 

A vicious growl echoed across the trees around him coming from deeper into the Jungle, birds scattered around and squirrels ran into their homes, at least he knew that if it came to it, they had another source for food. 

But that growl, was coming from something he hoped to never meet in person. 

Looking out at the woods, Lightning notice something he hadn't seen before. There were rocks going in an arc further down from the supplies, but it cut off when it reached the end of the clearing. Like it was some sort of forcefield, keeping these, things, at bay.

Lightning grabbed two of the backpacks, stuffed one with food, and the other with the sleeping bags. He took the time to look around so he could find it again.

He then turned and ran back into the Jungle.

He came out on the ponies side and ran straight for the camp. Everyone was around a few flammable objects, he threw the bags down in front of them all, he then gathered some rocks and made a pit, placing the wood in the center.

Now, all they needed was to light it.

(Sorry this was so long and had a lot in it, I just needed to fit it in so it would be understandable xD)

[Overdrive 5,366]

Overdrive began to rummage through the backpacks, trying to find some sort of fire starter. Buried at the bottom of one of the bags was a piece of flint. "Perfect," he said.

 

Noticing the first fire had died out, he placed a few pieces of wood in the fire pit, spread dead foliage and kindling throughout, and made sure nothing else flammable was in close proximity to the fire.

 

He began striking the flint against his horseshoe, each time producing a shower of sparks. After roughly a dozen attempts, the fire started to burn. Overdrive carefully blew on the fire to stoke it. "There, we have fire now," he said.

Noticing the chaos around her, Amber stepped forward.

"Is this everypony?" she asked loudly, gazing around at the group of panicked ponies. Judging by the way they fidgeted and shook, She could tell they were all in the same situation.

"We all need to calm down," she said, tapping her hoof. "Its obvious that something strange is going on, but we won't figure it out by running around like maniacs." Her orange eyes glinted in the firelight as the excitement rose within her. She looked towards the bundles on the ground.

"Does anypony know anything about this place?", she continued. "...About these?" Amber pointed to the backpacks, seeing that they had already been rummaged through. Her eyes flicked immediately to the Pegasus who had brought them in.

"Any information you've gathered, we could use," she said calmly. Her eyes searched his for any signs of treachery.

 

((I call to the stage next, if I may.))

(Lets bring in some group conflict =P)

 

Lordy look suspiciously at he bags, the at Lightning, also he was shocked about how calmly everyone welcomed the bags. He was usually sceptical and therefore felt that something was not right about all of this.

 

"Wow...wow....wow! Ponies...seriously now... dont you find it weird... all of us without our memories....stuck in a jungle... and Mr. Lightining here just coming out randomly with a load of backpacks and trying to take over. I mean is this just me! This seems a bit weird... And i think Lightning just seems to 'find' all the stuff around here... I bet he has something to with all of this... I dont know but there's something fishy about him... There is no way he just 'stumbled upon all that stuff'... i say we interogate him, just to make sure he has nothing to hide!"

"Stand down," Amber said sharply, sounding braver than she felt.

"We shouldn't go around accusing each other of anything--and even if somepony here IS responsible for whatever this is, turning on them will do us no good!" Her eyes darted between the two stallions.

 

"Now, I don't know about you ponies, but I have no idea where I am or how I got here. I can't remember the names of my friends or family, and my horn is causing me major grief." she paused to look at the other ponies.

"Are we all in the same boat here?" she asked. "Does anypony remember anything?" her voice became softer as she searched the eyes of the ponies around her. Their pain was undeniable, and she felt her heart sink a little.

[Overdrive 5,366]

"She's right," Overdrive declared. "We all need to just calm down, get our heads straight, and focus."

 

He thought for a moment, then directed his thoughts towards the group. "Look, we're all in the same boat here. Lightning knows about as much as the rest of us do. There's no way he had prior knowledge abou these supplies."

 

Overdrive paced back and forth briefly, before finishing his thought. "There's no need to get all flustered. If anything, any sort of panic will only exasperate the situation."

 

He took one last breath, collected his thoughts, and spoke. "Look, the only way we're going to get anywhere is if we all work together. I know it's stressful, but we can do this."

"Exactly. We all have no idea, why we are here or who does something like that, but at the moment we only have ourselves. Sure, one of us could be the one who made this. But saying with no evidence, he or she was it brings nothing. He was just lucky to find that stuff, or whoever made this put it extra in his way, dunno. But for now, we should calm down, relaxing and prepare mentally for what could happen here ..."

 

Deep inside, he knows, that he is pretty scared, but he tries to not show it.

[child of the night 271]

"excuse me, anypony listening?"

 

Synth called out from the bushes because nopony had yet to notice her. She didn't want to leave her spot for fear of the yellow flower that they were all crowded around. While she was there she started to observe the ponies standing around and was addressing who was a threat or not. *I ought not to do this because I have yet too meet them yet...* she thought as she waited.

@@child of the night, @, @@Overdrive, @@AmberDust, @@Lordav, @,

Lightning was filled with rage at being accused of bringing them here. He completely ignored the other ponies and glared at the pony accusing him.

Lightning walked over and stood in front of the pony. Seething with anger.

"You.. You think I want to be here? You think that of all the things I could do I would BOTHER to bring ponies I don't know to a place full of danger?"

"You want to know what I know? What I know, is that there is something f*cking out there that doesn't take kindly to ponies in the Jungle, and that there's a ring of rocks surrounding our clearing, and I found these bags in a clearing to the North side of this camp, and I can even SHOW you."

"So don't bother accusing me of something you know nothing about. I don't know nothing about, or anyone knows anything about!"

Lightning then turned and walked back to his place next to Overdrive.

"Very well played good sir, but you might've just known of these backpacks and 'stone circle' from the beggining. Just playing the nice guy ijn order to take control eh. What are we here, some kind of experiment of yours?!"

 

Lordy's anger started to snap and his rage exploded;

 

"How do you know nobody else knows except if u made sure then dont? Who knows why you would've brought here? The facty that you just started screaming demonstrates you are hiding something as this kind of reaction only shows that you are hiding something!

 

What do you plan to do with us eh? Whats in that jungle? are your friends just giing you supplies or what!?"

Lightning looked towards the pony once again. And calmly, but slowly stood in front of him.

"You're accusing me, but I was the first pony to help the wounded. You've got no right whatsoever to run around accusing. Let me get it through your head now. I. Don't. Want. To. Be. Here. None of us do, you're not helping by panicking everyone. Not let me tell you, we're gonna learn to work together. No more sh*t starting."

Lightning then raised his hoof waiting for the pony to shake it.

@, 

Lightning turned to face the wounded mare.

"We want to know the exact same thing. We don't know anything about this place, who brought us here, or anything from where we came from."

Lightning then walked and sat down next to the fire. The sky was darkening, it would be night soon.
