Linguz 140 October 27, 2011 Share October 27, 2011 "Sounds harsh. Seems a lot of creatures at this school have had a bad life before coming here." Garth got up with Autumn and walked to the window, beckoning him to follow. "Do you want to start out small, going down from where you first panic, or would you like to tackle the bigger issue first, going down from a great height?"

I guess small steps first, if we have time. A few times when I tried to fly high, I actually fainted. I might have crashed if there weren't so many clouds." (I guess it is just exposition time for my characters. Should I start sharing back story in the Labyrinth too? ) Edited October 27, 2011 by Slendermane Battle not with monsters, lest ye become a monster, and if you gaze into the abyss, the abyss gazes also into you.

Evilshy 5,093 October 27, 2011 Share October 27, 2011 Evilshy heard paradox's voice, no longer startled by it. It was annoying, but useful. She scanned the roofline and found a window that seemed to be open a crack. She landed on the roof next to the window and pried it open. She poked her head in an looked around. Seeing nopony, she crawled in and landed awkwardly on the floor. She began walking around the 8th floor, looking for paradox. "hey paradox, you around here in the flesh? Or do I have to answer another foal riddle?" Signature now 99% less edgy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Linguz 140 October 27, 2011 Share October 27, 2011 (edited) <Garth> "If you feint, I'll catch you. Don't worry about it. How many floors up do you think you can handle?" ('Tis your choice on The Labyrinth. It's your topic.) <Paradox> Might as well humor her a bit. "What is yellow and pink and full of spite?" The voice resonated throughout the entire floor.

If not, I will start things either friday or sunday.) "I'm fine with low level clouds like nimbus and some cumulus, but If I get up to high level cumulus, cirrus, or cumulonimbus I start to panic."

Slendermane 477 October 27, 2011 Share October 27, 2011 "That would probably be good. We might want to set up some lower level clouds to land on or catch me if I fall, just in case." Autumn put his book away and set his bags in his dorm, then went outside with Garth to begin training. I can't let fear rule me anymore.

Linguz 140 October 27, 2011 Share October 27, 2011 "Alright. I'll be down by the nimbus clouds. If you start to fall, I'll catch you. Don't worry, I know to be careful with my claws, but you'd just go right through most clouds if you're falling fast enough. Go up and try to go down whenever you want." Garth set up a cloud chair and sat down. "I'll be sitting here until you're halfway up, then I'll move so that I'm closer to directly under you."

Evilshy 5,093 October 27, 2011 Share October 27, 2011 Evilshy sighed. "an evil death cupcake... Its me." She looked around the room, trying to see where paradox might pop out of. "hey, I ran into somepony. A new mare. She was interested in you." evilshy said with a slight smirk. "and I mean, REALLY interested. She got pretty pissed off when I said I was meeting you. It was pretty funny really, a grown mare acting like a jealous little filly." (somepony should go talk to nix. She's still on the first floor. I'm not really sure what I'm going to do with her right this moment. Soon she'll start being interesting I hope. This will be weird, one of my characters hates the other one already XD I didn't plan that, it just kinda happened as I was writing it) Signature now 99% less edgy!

Linguz 140 October 27, 2011 Share October 27, 2011 (edited) "Correct!" Paradox stepped out from the shadows next to Evilshy. "You'll have to tell me how she looks so I can avoid her then; I don't like so much attention. So you've come to receive a rune... I suggest you start with the simplest level, levitating other objects, but it's your choice in the end." Paradox moved a small book titled 'The Runes' and a small instrument closer to them. He gave the book to Evilshy. "If you want to start with another spell, find it in that book and tell me which one." (Garth's busy so I can't send him out to talk to Nix. Head over to a location mentioned below to meet ponies. Below this is a spoiler of all pony locations.)

Slendermane 477 October 27, 2011 Share October 27, 2011 Autumn flew up to a high cumulus cloud, then looked down over the edge. So high! As he looked down, he started to remember the fires and the screaming from that day. Autumn shook his head, I can't let fear control me anymore. How did that one book put it? "I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain" Autumn looked back down and started getting dizzy again. He opened his wings and put his hooves on the edge of the cloud. "I am a pegasus. Flying is my nature. If I can't fly, I am not whole. If I can't fly, I am useless. If I can't fly, I can't help my friends." He thought of his new friends being attacked by wolves, and he had to fly down to save them. He jumped off of the cloud.

Slendermane 477 October 27, 2011 Share October 27, 2011 (Well, my character is a bookworm.) Autumn plummeted. Come on wings, open! Clouds wizzed past as he continued to fall. He finally got his wings open, but he was going much faster than he was used to. He crash landed on Garth's cloud. "Sorry about that."

Evilshy 5,093 October 27, 2011 Share October 27, 2011 (Nice Dune reference! Fantastic book.) (I knew I've read that somewhere.) Evilshy picked up the book and began to look through it. she began to think out loud. "well, I kinda wanted a teleportation rune, but that seems pretty complicated. Maybe I should start smaller? I don't need to be able to levitate myself, since I'm a Pegasus and all. Maybe some sort of telekinesis? Moving things could be useful." She looked up at paradox. "so how exactly do these work again? They'll exhaust me until I get used to them, I know, but does that go for every rune, or can I practice with simpler runes and then get a more powerful one and be able to use it?"

Linguz 140 October 27, 2011 Share October 27, 2011 (edited) <Garth> Garth brushed hom off and got him back on his hooves. "Not a problem. You jumped off, that's a start." <Paradox> "Whenever you get a new rune, that rune will require a lot of energy. Stronger runes require more and have a higher bottom limit but easy runes still require plenty at the start. Even I get exhausted after using a new rune for too long."

Slendermane 477 October 27, 2011 Share October 27, 2011 "I'll go back up and try again" For the rest of the afternoon, Autumn practiced flying. He started to get a little bit better, and started to get better control of flying at high speeds. He still had trouble landing, but he gained more confidence and control the more he flew.

Evilshy 5,093 October 29, 2011 Share October 29, 2011 (sorry! I was gone pretty much all day. I'll be gone most of tomorrow as well.) (btw, nix is still just chillin' on the bottom floor. Checking schedules or something. I don't know.) Evilshy flipped through the book a bit more before going back to the page with the telekinesis rune. "I think I'll start with this one. It looks simple enough, just basic telekinesis." she said to paradox. "how long do the runes stay visible? I want it under my wing so I can hide it more easily." Signature now 99% less edgy!

Linguz 140 October 29, 2011 Share October 29, 2011 "They stay visible for exactly eighteen hours and then fade away for six hours. After twenty four hours, the rune will be completely hidden unless somepony knows what to look for. The mark will stay there." Paradox showed Evilshy his own telekinesis rune, located on his forehead. It was all but invisible unless you knew exactly what to look for. "But will not glow or anything else of the sort. Spread out your wing so I can mark you." He moved the instrument closer to Evilshy as she opened her wing and put it against her skin. "You ready? This is going to hurt.

Linguz 140 October 29, 2011 Share October 29, 2011 Paradox pressed the instrument hard against her skin, searing this symbol into her skin. (If you'd rather use a different symbol, go right ahead. I'll be making a 35x35 rune each time it's needed though for those who'd rather not think of one of your own.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
