Peregrine took the lead, moving up the trail at a trot. For part of the way a line of trees had been cut down and the stumps pulled out before the loose earth had been tamped down, and ditches dug on either side for drainage. Moving further along, they reached where several ponies were digging the ditches. Yet further ahead, the line of trees that had been cut down narrowed, and stumps still lined either side.

 

Peregrine looked behind herself. "So, Guy-Man. You and Glider, eh? What drew you two together?"

"It was a few weeks ago, when that mare tried to drown herself. What a hectic day that was... Anyways, I asked Blitz how I could help out, and we ended up looking for her sister somehow. Then there was that incident with the dragon, and you asked if it liked music, and, me, being zoned out, only heard "like music," and tried to hit on you by saying I was a musician. Then Glider, being adorable as she is, introduced herself to me in that crowded tent. No offense, but I'm glad you didn't pick up on my advances," Guy-Man said. "What about you? Anypony in particular you're interested in?"

"My mom always did say I could be absolutely thick sometimes," said Peregrine, thinking back to Cuddle. "I was pretty pre-occupied with the baby dragon. I hope she's enjoying her new accommodations, and that she finds her parents eventually."

 

((I have no idea what ended up happening to Paisley. The RP was moving insanely fast.))

 

"And myself? I don't know. I guess I'd be interested if I took notice of somepony at this point. I guess I only really think of that stuff with commitment in my mind, and that scares off most stallions." Peregrine blushed. "I don't know how many times some earth pony farm-hoof turned me down with an excuse that they needed to get an early start on the harvest!" Peregrine gave a giggle, the sort of deprecative giggle that was uncomfortably aware of its owner's self pity.

 

"But I guess it'd be an absolutely wonderful thing if I found a stallion who'd be interested in running a business! That'd just be... relieving at this point."

"I never was great with business like my friend Thomas... Geez do I miss him. He was always there for me, hopefully he'll be on the next ship over. I kept telling him to turn in his form to get on the ship, but he kept saying "I'll do it tomorrow." Always the procrastinator he was," Guy-Man said, finishing with a sigh. "I hope things work out for both of us."

Peregrine looked over at the side of the road where several lumberjacks were clearing out more trees. Being in front of Guy-Man, she let her eyes linger over the lumberjacks for a few moment so he'd figure where her attention was. "Maybe I could ask Blitz to introduce me to somepony in construction?"

 

Slowing to a walk, Peregrine shifted her focus up ahead to where several building frames had been erected, which meant that her plot of land would be to the right of the road, just about... Peregrine spied a little marker with her lot number, 39, just off the road.

 

"Here it is!" she yelled excitedly.

 

The plot was overgrown with ferns, along with several trees closer to the river, but the ground was dry, so the drainage was good. "Okay, now to see if we can find the property lines." She looked at a smaller map of the area. Her property didn't go all the way to the river, which meant there'd be a little colored peg somewhere to mark the boundary. The sign she found was one of them, so she set out in a straight line from it, keeping an eye to the ground.

Travel was covered with dirt and blood, having gashes and bruises all over his body, he couldn't move much because of the rubble either, he tried to stay awake but was in a half daze waking up and passing out, he got hit in the head by a log when the roof broke, his hat was nowhere to be found.

[The Pixelated Pony 883]

"I...bac-k" it was all he could muster. oh great a pony instantly recagnized me, what else could go wrong? he thought. I do not hit on mares that much...do I? normaly I use my speach to get me out of situations more than flirt...wait does she care for me or is it just that she wants me to fix this stuff Jade would sigh but he felt like his lungs were still in his head "bed?" he hoped she would get that he thought rest would be good for him

Sparkle was just about to burst out into a fit of rage intact she did "WHY YOU LITTLE!!!! " then she realised something this pony was obviously in pain "ach sorry! Ya see I thought you were implying something okay and I'm not gonna tell you" Sparkle sat down ashamed that herself" but I don't have a spare bed the only one I have is a double bed for me and Travel and I doubt Travel wants me in the same bed as you"

[Yoshikupo 302]

"fine" Jade looked over to the other pony in the room "help...him" Jade was a bit happy that he could now say a word at a time. he obviously knew what she thought, and he thought it was great that she realized that it was not that kind of thing. he tried to move again but was only his head could move at this time.

[That pony 32]

"I...." Travel couldn't muster the strength to talk, he stopped struggling to stay awake and was unconscious and he had raggedy breathing. Travel found himself yet again in a nightmare, this time however after wondering through the dessert in his dreams he ran towards the figure to find out who it was, but when he reached it it was somepony with a hood on, he took it off to find that it was himself at the age of 50, then he suddenly grew older and older in front of him and died, then the dream ended.

"Aww c'mon two injured stallions? How much does a mare have to deal with?! You wait there! I still need to question you " Sparkle said examining Travel "breathing is odd he seams to have passed out, hold on one second Travel" Sparkle turned back to Jade "you cover your ears... Or mine" before she turned back to Travel and yelled "TRAVEL CAN YOU HEAR ME???!!! WHAT HAPPENED!!!???" extremely loudly

[That pony 32]

@Sparkle Sword

Travel's breathing started to slow down, he couldn't wake up, his nightmare was looping repeatedly and he couldn't wake up, in his dreams he could barely hear her yelling, it sounded like a whisper in the wind,  and he knew he was stuck in his nightmare, because Travel likes to lucid dream sometimes to help him sleep, but he was trying to wake up.

"My throat oww. I've never yelled that loud before I need to rest my chords of iron (like chords of steel only weaker) so iI'm just gonna whisper now...Travel? Are you okay? " Sparkle's voice was completely unrecognisable like an actor playing her in a movie or something like that

[That pony 32]

Travel's eyes opened slowly he saw sparkle in front of him. "Sparkle..." he passed out and his breath got slower and more raggedy, he looked pale from blood loss, his breath slowed down till the point where travel stopped breathing by force of all of the rubble crushing him.

@@That pony, @,

Jade felt guilty...he made this stallion into a bloody mess "I can...help" he said trying to get up again and partially succeeding as his right front hoof started to bleed so he didn't want to put it down. "I'm...sorry" is all he could get out before he almost collapsed under his own weight  

[That pony 32]

Travel was completely still, he couldn't breathe or move, but when jade got of the rubble it got a bit lighter on travel but he still couldn't breathe, he didn't have any energy to move or even wake up, it would be a matter of minutes before he suffocated to death.

[Yoshikupo 302]

"how ever you are" Jade coughed violently "help me" he said to Sparkle using his last amount of energy before he collapses to help push the rubble off of the pony he crushed. I crash into some-ponies home and not only get my self hurt but also one of the ponies living here, I have to help no matter what he thought to himself pushing 2x as hard now

[That pony 32]

Travel inhales sharply due the some of the rubble getting off of him, he coughs violently before going unconscious again, him slightly breathing due to their still being some rubble and stuff on him, at least he can breathe a little, now that some of the rubble is gone you could see his hat almost fully buried in the rubble.

   Markus awoke slowly with a yawn, reluctant to actually get motivated. He began his slow routine of preening and grooming so he wouldn't feel gross throughout the day. Just as he finishes, Markus remembers that he was going to be useful today.

 

"Uggggh why, why do I say these things to myself." Markus says as he swoops down to gather his equipment in a satchel. After a few moments everything is packed up. Markus then reluctantly takes off, with painting in tow, to find the first pony who might need his help.

 

Luckily the morning flight helped to wake him up a bit, removing his grumpiness and replacing it with genuine enthusiasm. He looks around and sees a small town forming, and ponies constructing a roadway. "Dang, they've been busy!" Markus then sees some ponies running about what looked like a future construction yard, based on the surroundings. "Welp, here goes nothing."

 

On the way down, Markus makes a point to land right in front of the lead pony. "HI THERE!" He says as he slams into the ground, staring wide-eyed at the pony.

"Oh! Hey!" Peregrine responded as a gryphon swooped down front of them. She paused for a moment as the fact fully registered. "I didn't know there were gryphons with the colony ships." Peregrine took a tentative step towards the gryphon, offering a hoof to them. "Uhm... I'm Peregrine, and this stallion with me is Guy-Manuel. And you are?"

"Markus Prismawing, nice to meet you!" Markus says shaking the mare's hoof. "I recently finished up some work I had here and came to see if anyone needed some help setting up! However it seems that whoever's in charge has things taken care of for the most part. I don't suppose you need help with anything at the moment? I've got quite the range of skills! Well two skills, but that's still pretty useful!"

"Well... Right now I'm just trying to find the bounds of the property I own now. There should be some little wooden pegs with their tops painted some bright color, but it's still slow-going to find them." Peregrine gestured to Markus' eyes. "So if you could please use those sharp eyes to help a mare, that would be awesome."

 

Peregrine looked out to the expanse of trees and ferns. "And then I suppose helping out with clearing a bit of the underbrush would be handy," she added, "if you'd be willing."

[DanishToenails 36]

@ @Ochre_Dust

 

"Of course, anything for a lady." With that Markus leaned his painting against a nearby stump and took off into the air to get a better vantage point. Markus wasn't expecting to have to do manual labor, but he needed to earn his keep here somehow. If only he could paint faster... 

 

He found the markers with little hassle, arranged in a large square. After further inspection, Markus agreed that Peregrine definitely needed help with this property, there was just so much to clear! Markus then landed next to the mare. "You got a square of about 30 yards to work with. Pretty decent size, but it needs some work."

"Goodness!" Peregrine exclaimed. "That's certainly a bit larger than I expected. I could end up having a separate house to live in on the same property! Could you lead me to each of the markers?" she asked before fishing some cloth ribbons that'd make the posts easier for her to find in the future. She also fished out a machete, which she offered to Markus. "Here, that'll help you get through all the ferns. I'll be behind you."

[DanishToenails 36]

@ @Ochre_Dust

 

Markus takes the machete, grateful to not have to wear down his talons. "Thank you, and let's be off. we'll go the harder way first to get it out of the way." With a slash, Markus begins slicing his way towards one of the markers at the back of the property. "So you think you might have enough room for another building on the property huh? What do you plan on building if that's the case?"

[Ochre_Dust 329]

@ @DanishToenails

 

"Well, it is my intention to start a hoof and mane care business, so basically farrier and barbershop. I thought I'd end up building a second floor that I'd live in, but with the room I have, I think a separate building sounds nice if and when I find the right stallion in life." Peregrine ducked her head from a flying piece of vegetation. "So, what brought you out here, Markus?"
