@@Raven Rawne,

 

So what kind of adventure will you like to see these two mares get themselves into?

@@Nightmare Season,

 

Order of the Flower eh? Sounds like a secret organisation of botanists, could be a fun thing to weave nto the story.

 

Now, Rp wise, since I'm running Natural Order, I was thinking of something like that:

 

The earth pony vagabond finds herself in Canterlot, of all places, and with a large repair bill as something not really friendly took the roof off her wagon. Without going into fine detail, she needs money, and happens to find an advertisement of a local high class pony who needs a guide to a place X (somewhere conveniently far away... Undiscovered West? Forbidden Jungle? Grifonstone area?). That's all she knows really, aside from the large sum of money that's for grabs. Natural Order decides to babysit a city gal on what she thinks can be an easy enough job. Things get complicated by both their differences, the harsh road conditions, natural and pony made, but predictable obstacles (fallen trees, flooded rivers, brigand ponies, maybe some hostile widlife), occasional big problem (like a monster of the month to kill/go around, or a broken axle in the middle of nowhere), and yes, rival expedition(s) who want to reach the same goal, but have much less moral objections and wish to use the prize for selfish or evil ends. To make tings longer and more interesting, we can toss random encounters and "side quests" along the road.

 

Thoughts?

[Nightmare Season 617]

That sounds great. Have it like a daring do adventure. The idea of a secret order of botanists protecting the flower for generations is something we could weave in.

 

We could lay it out like a tomb raider game style. Have to go to point b,c, and d to get "keys" then go back to point a for the flower.

Well of course the flora will be hidden in some Celestia forgotten complex with traps,  guardians,  and of course the most dreaded of all - locked doors that need "keys". They can be anything really, even something along 9 pieces of 8 from Pirates of the Carribeans - seems hly random,  but old objects that need to be "borrowed".

@@Raven Rawne,

 

So I am thinking we can find the "vault" where the flower is located, However we need to seek out different rare magical flowers that are used as a key to open the door to the mythical flower she seeks. And a riddle is all that is given about each of the magical flowers we need to find. Each flower will be a side quest to find all of them.

[Raven Rawne 1,381]

Hmm... a natural vault in a cave behind a waterfall maybe? And yeah, reaching the place only to kiss the door and go all over Equestria to find the keys sounds good. That way they don't have to go to the other side of the planet just to prolong the rp.

@@Raven Rawne,

 

Sounds like we have a plan. I will get the intro done then.

[Raven Rawne 1,381]

Can you give me a rough estimate where they are going? Preferably on the map of Equestria or at least at thick point they will leave it? I want to know where and through what terrain they will go. 

[Nightmare Season 617]

 

So I am thinking first stop will be the Forbidden Jungle down South, There is a temple above the word Jungle. From there we can head to other locations spread out across the map.

[Raven Rawne 1,381]

Good pick! Diverse terrain and no major cities on the road, just Ponyville and Dodge. I'll make a post after taming the evil of thorough bathroom cleaning... whoever lived here didn't know the term "deep clean".

@Raven Rawne

 

I think I will hold off on a reply for a day or two. Work has been draining me too much at the moment.

[Raven Rawne 1,381]

@Nightmare Season

 

By all means if it will be just another chore to scratch off the list,  then hold up until it sounds like fun again.  I can wait no, worries.

[Raven Rawne 1,381]

@Nightmare Season

 

So I thought it would be more interesting if they narrowly missed the Temple and the Flower led them there, whadya think?

[Nightmare Season 617]

@Raven Rawne

Oh my goodness....You read my mind. I was thinking the same thing. Saved by Flower, would really get Natural to second guess the crazy mare, or not so crazy after all.

 

Also work has been sucking the life out of me, So if my threads seems a bit lack luster than usual. You now know why.

[Raven Rawne 1,381]

@Nightmare Season

 

The marigold incident put a dent in her disbelief already. Also, don't worry about meeting a post quota or something. I know from personal experience that it doesn't work well, so I'm okay with waiting for when you get some more free time. I'm pretty busy too anyway.

[Nightmare Season 617]

@Raven Rawne

 

Sorry for the lack of posts. Work as my mind so blurred I can't think of a reply yet.

[Raven Rawne 1,381]

@Nightmare Season

Don't worry,  I guessed as much. After all,  we all have rough spots every now and then.  Reply when you feel like it.

[Nightmare Season 617]

@Raven Rawne

Well the horrible ending of School is finally gone. My mind is finally returning to me. Also, Peony Spring was finally added to the Equestria Database. She is now able for the other roleplay threads.

[Raven Rawne 1,381]

@Nightmare Season

 

Good to hear that. So there are actually live threads in the Equestria Empire? I thought only a few old guard kept their privare rp's going. Still, more options for you, right?

[Nightmare Season 617]

@Raven Rawne

Are you in a creative slump like I was, or did you miss my reply?

@Nightmare Season

Had problems at work and general time shortages, but I should start replying this evening.

[Raven Rawne 1,381]

@Nightmare Season

Seems like we're in a tight spot - Natural is just not Nightmare Season, she won't just walk in and make grilled pony bits in there. I reckon that,  if they come out, she could take 2 or 3 from afar before they reach her, and then it's game over. Element of surprise and distance are her only combat advantages.

[Raven Rawne 1,381]

@Nightmare Season

Hey, just checking if you're still in for the rp. If you're busy just give us a heads up and I'll wait okay?

[Nightmare Season 617]

@Raven Rawne

Sorry, work scedual has been really messed up the past two weeks. Need to get use to it, but I am still in the RP.

[Raven Rawne 1,381]

Alright, I just wanted to check on you that's all.

A pursuit then? I guess that's one way to make Natural commit equicide on that stallion. I'm still not sure whether she should ditch the wagon or get it back,  knowing their destination she as well might - unless the ponynappers get ambushed by a cragadile or something just as nice, all she can do is make sure Peony gets safe back home.
