private Founding of Equestria (RP thread)

[Nightfall 3,950]

He nodded, "Poison joke and caves. I think that would be an accurate assumption. We're trying to make sure we win, but why are we fighting in the first place? I think it's because we're not exporting as much food. There have been wars over less, but all war ends the same." He grimly smashed another flower and twisted his hoof. The result was a crushed flower.

 

"We do have an abundance of food. It is true. And we aren't 'giving enough away,' as I have heard."

She thought for a moment.

"But still, even though I know we are mainly food providers, why can't they at least try their hooves at farming? ... No, that just makes me sound ignorant. Forget I said that."

She blushed a bit.

"So, um.. where do we go now..?"

[Octavia's Bow 2,035]

Velnir laughed, hard, "Oh, I think they try. But we Earth Ponies, we're good at what we do. You can't grow a tree on a cloud, not without magic. And you can't feed a tree magic; the product is low quality, and sometimes dangerous. You need dirt. And Unicorns, most of them hate dirt. Pegassus don't want to half to rely on the ground. Now, we go to the apothecary shop in town."

[Literally Snails 2,307]

Funny, We share the same first name.

You seem to be forgetting that there are two of us and only one of you... also, you are unarmed so I suggest you come with me and Cumulus back to the city. He said. Also, please dont try anything stupid, As I said before Commander hurricane would prefer you alive. Flame smiled at the pony. I will give you one chance to come quietly. He said, holding out his hoof for Flame Runner to take.

 

Cumulus turned to Flame Dancer and scoffed, "Truly, need we take him prisoner? Prisoners must be fed and housed. We needn't offer that to him. I say, we put him out of his missery. We need not keep him alive unless he has something of value to offer us and I find that unlikely." He turned to the earth pony. "What say you, mud pony? Have you a reason to live?"

[Miss Light Diamond 2,803]

Flame looked at Cumulus. Commander Hurricane told us to spy on him, this is bad enough, we were never supposed to show ourselves. If she finds out that we killed him than... Well Greylight can have a bad temper.He said, Looking back at Flame Runner. This is your last chance, Come back with us as our prisoner, or die. He said, Flicking his Katana.

"It is true... But like I said, please forget that comment."

She blushed a bit more.

"Ok. I think I know where that is..."

She started walking off, but then stopped, turned around, and look at Velnir.

".. But to be safe, you should lead the way. As I said, I only think I know where it is. I'm pretty sure you know exactly where it is..."

"Hashera!" Cumulus exclaimed (Dragon Age referance), "T'is not to be his choice! Play by their meaningless rules and formalities and you will be pulled down with them. There is only one true rule of war: The strongest ponies prevail. If you fear the commander knowing, we should kill him now and hide the body. All we have to say is that nopony was ever here."

[Octavia's Bow 2,035]

He nodded, "Yep, I know exactly where it is. I work there, make sales there. This way." He walked off, carefully taking of the gloves so they would be inside out and tying the together. He placed them back in his bag with the pouch. The walked out of the Everfree and he stretched, blinking.

She followed, and when she too got out of the forest, she took off her gloves.

"It makes sense that you would work there. But do you have any assistants, or anypony to help you in general?"

She trotted up and walked beside him, a bit closer than when they were going to the forest, but still keeping her distance a bit.

[Octavia's Bow 2,035]

"Nope. Not enough room, and not enough money. Evrypony springs for the fancy Unicorn jinx. I guess that'll be one good thing when we go to war. I heard the Unicorns were holding back on their spells recently, but business is still slow." He entered a structure that more closely resembled a well-built shack then a shop. It wasn't fancy, but it functioned.

It wasn't fancy, but it functioned.

 

"Oh. Well, if there isn't enough room inside, I can just give you my bag and gloves, and you can go inside and do your thing.."

She was beginning to get nervous. She didn't know what she was supposed to do if Velnir took the bags and dismissed her. Should she report back to Surge, or should she go back to her farm?

[Octavia's Bow 2,035]

He looked at her from inside the shack, "Not enough room for a bunch of working ponies. YOU can sit where I usually make people buying sit." He took out a mortar and pestle and started grinding the poison joke down. He started adding small amounts of water until it was a thick liquid. He had placed the seeds to the side.

She walked in a bit nervously and sat down, eyeing her surroundings. Velnir was right; there wasn't much room in the shack. She did seem fascinated with his work, though, and wondered if there was some secret back room or cellar where he kept jars and test tubes of things.

"The seeds... is that so you can replant the poison joke?"

[Octavia's Bow 2,035]

"Yep. Except one of them, that's gowing in the brew of the pony who smashed my workbench," he pointed to a broken table in the corner. "There's some carrots back there," he said, pointing to a cellar door, "Just don't touch anything else. There's stuff down there that aren't healthy, and I just reorganized."

"Oh... I wasn't, um... I just, um..."

She flushed. She sat down on the chair and just sort of huddled up as if she was cold. In fact, she did feel a bit cold. She also felt a bit lost and lonely. Wait... where were this coming from? It wasn't like her to feel lonely for no obvious reason...

[Octavia's Bow 2,035]

He looked back at her and sighed. He went down to the cellar, and there was rustling sounds. Then there was a crash, and he came back up with a chipped tea set. He filled the kettle with water and placed it over a fire. He put some thyme and other herbs in it, and waited. "Sorry, I'm not a great host. I don't get a lot of guests." He set down a small bundle of carrots and munched on one.

"It's ok. You do better at hosting than some ponies I know..."

She picked up a carrot and simply nibbled on it. She didn't feel hungry.

"Do you ever feel desperately lonely, Velnir? As in, you want someone to be close to you, but you don't really see how it can happen?"

[Miss Light Diamond 2,803]

Flame looked at Cumulus angrily . I Do Not Fear The Commander, I just want to keep my job. He said.

If I really wanted, I could probably over power her, But she is an amazing leader, even if I disagree with some of her ideas, I will always be loyal.

He looked back at Flame Runner still waiting for an answer.

 

(OOC: I am going to wait for Flame Runner to say something before I post again.)

[Octavia's Bow 2,035]

Velnir stared at one of the walls, "You look around at this shack. It's not much, but this is the place I spend all of my time. I don't have many friends, and none of them are close. I could walk out into the Everfree and hardly anypony would notice I was gone. I feel lonely every time I wake up to an open sky, and most nights I do not. I feel lonely every time I go to bed, huanted by the fact that not one mare wants to settle down with me, either because of money or looks. Does that answer your question?"

She sat there, looking at Velnir a bit sadly.

"It does. At least, I think. From what I understand, you're just about always lonely."

She looked down.

"I'm sorry. I'm probably just... I don't know. I have no idea what I'm supposed to be doing right now, and that puts me in a lonely mood."

[Octavia's Bow 2,035]

He smiled faintly, "Always do do do with you, isn't it. How about we drink tea until the poison joke sets. Then we go and find Surge. I wonder if this is something I get payed for... These carrots are all I have left. I skipped the last couple of ration days searching for one of the more elusive plants."

"We still have ration days..? But.. I thought that..."

She almost choked on the carrot. To her, there weren't really ration days. It made her wonder what Surge was up to since Martin was gone.

"Look, I can help you out if you want. Like maybe helping you get more food..."

[Octavia's Bow 2,035]

He blushed, "Oh, I'm sure I can go into the forest and find some berries or something. It's not a problem; you shouldn't trouble yourself. Look, the tea's ready!" He went to the fire pit, glad to have something to change the subject. It was just one of those things; he didn't like guilting people into helping him.

"I'm serious, Velnir! I didn't think rations were still around! I thought Martin abolished them. It would not be a problem for me to help you. In fact, you could even stay at my farm; there's more room for you to work there."

She got up slowly, and went over to the fire pit.

[Octavia's Bow 2,035]

"First off, rations for the poor are a blessing. He tossed her a pouch with about 50 dollars worth of money, saying, "That's all of my money. I can't pay rent to you. I can't buy your food. Like I said, not a lot of ponies want herbal cures anymore. To slow for the pony who ants to go go go."

"No, no, keep your money. I'm willing to let you stay at my farm because.. Well, because from what I hear, you need some kind of help. I mean, you need your money. Please, don't try to give me your money. Keep it for yourself."

She stood there, trying to give Velnir back his pouch of money.
