open The Founding of Equestria: The Aftermath (RP)

[Blitz 127]

Purplepower sat down for a second, when suddenly the city shifted again. PONY CRAP! What am I supposed to do now?! She was getting really sick of this city shifting around. I swear, if this darn city does that to me ONE MORE TIME, I think I'm going to lose my mind! She got up. I guess I should keep moving towards the- oh, wait, I don't know what direction the castle's in now. Maybe if I can find a tree I can climb or something. No, bad idea. I would screw that up. She thought to herself. But I guess if that's my only chance, I'm just going to have to. She climbed a near by tree. Hey, is that Mapmaker over there? She saw two ponies go inside a house. She tried to get their attention. Darn it, why didn't I just say something? Maybe I can get over there without this city shifting again. She climbed down the tree, and started over towards the house. She knocked on the door. "Hello? Is anypony here?" She said quietly.

[Octavia's Bow 2,035]

"My name is M-"he heard a knock on the door, and heard a soft voice. His eyes slowly widened, and he turned and opened the door. There, the freezing purple pegasi was standing shyly. He instinctively hugged her, and began to ramble about how worried he was, and how he'd never lost an entire caravan before this, and how he was glad she was safe, and then he stopped, embarrassed. "So, um, hi Purplepowder. Give me a moment." He turned from the doorway, and called to Silver Heart, "Excuse me, Miss Silver Heart, I was wondering, do you have room for another pony? One of my friends just showed up... I don't wish to intrude, but..."

[SilverHeart 741]

Is this the only bucking house in Canterlot? Why are so many ponies coming here... Silver Heart did her best to try to sound friendly despite being annoyed with the influx of strangers in her house. "Sure, she can stay the night. Just so the three of you know I don't have any blankets or comforters for you." Silver Heart pointed towards a white pegasus who was sleeping. "I've given all the blankets to her, she has some nasty frostbite and I've given her priority over everypony else. I don't want to sound too demanding but tomorrow morning...or whenever Cherry Blossom wakes up we need to try to find a way to get her to the Canterlot Hospital. And I would like your help in getting her there."

 

"At the hospital we have a room that will speed up healing her limbs. Instead of waiting weeks or months to know of something is wrong we can find out in about a day."

[Blitz 127]

"Oh, uh, hi." She was a bit surprised. Great. More awkwardness. Come on, you've got to think of SOMETHING to say! "It's alright if there's not enough room or anything, I'm ok with staying outside if you need me to." She wasn't quite sure what to do. Stay outside? No, it was too late for that. I guess I'll just figure something out.

[Octavia's Bow 2,035]

"Don't worry about it, as an explorer, I pack my own sleeping bags," he shrugs, moving back to the door, "Okay, Purple, we can go in the kitchen, living room, and bathroom. Come inside, let's see how well your wing is healing." Thank the stars you're safe, I didn't think I'd see you again. And I've lost so many people... He plastered a smile on his face.

[Blitz 127]

"Uh, alright." She was pretty sure she either sounded rude, or clueless at this moment. Maybe I should take my saddlebags off- no, bad idea. Just leave it alone and don't touch anything and it won't be so awkward. Purplepower wasn't sure what to say or do. Sheesh, why don't you just tell them you WANT them to think you're rude.

[Octavia's Bow 2,035]

Mapmaker quickly washed his hooves and came back, setting his saddle bags down. He began to dig through them, "Okay, I know I put it somewhere..." Ropes, a few hooks, and maps began a growing pile testifying to his lack of organization, until he came up with a box, "Aha! Alright." He popped it open, and neat little labels over sections, Northern Remedies, Earth Pony Cures, Unicorn Cards, and Cuts, Scrapes, and Scuffles. He opened the later and grabbed a linen roll. "May I touch your wings?"

[Blitz 127]

"Umm, o-ok..." She wasn't sure how to respond. Good grief, stop freaking out about nothing! Stupid brain. Just chill out and stop over analyzing everypony and every little thing about everypony. She did not exactly like how she over reacted about not knowing what to say. Edited November 13, 2012 by Purplepower

Mapmaker grinned, and started unwrapping her wing. "This may hurt. Your wings are still bruised up. In the future, try to stay off injured body parts. My mom once told me that working broken tools make them more broke." He began re-wrapping it, "We need to work on your small talk- Is this to tight? No? Alright. You're so shy sometimes. You can't be friends with everypony, true, but sometimes all it takes are a few nice words. I'm babbling again, sorry." He finished and smiled at her. "There, done."

[Blitz 127]

"Thanks." Purplepower sat down by the corner and set her saddlebag down. Wow I sound really stupid. She looked around. She saw other ponies, but most of them were asleep. Ugh why did I have to mess everything up? I mean really. I seriously fail at being normal.

[Octavia's Bow 2,035]

"Good," he said, continuing to smile. "Purplepowder, this is Silver Heart, our hostess. Silver Heart, this is Purplepowder, a seamstress. Thanks again for letting us stay!" He shuffled off to the living room to set his things down and to unpack his sleeping bag. He munched on a small salt block while doing so.

[Blitz 127]

"Nice to meet you, Silver Heart!" Purplepower said quietly. "Thank you for letting me stay!" She followed Mapmaker to the living room, walked over to one side of the room and laid down. This is actually pretty comfortable, considering where I was before.

Star Rain levitated the blanket off of her onto the couch, along with the second blanket she used in place of a mattress. She stepped outside to check the temperature and it was very cold with surprisingly no frost. Sitting down on the floor so that everypony else can sit on the extra-cushioned couch, she asked,"By the way, how long have you been out?"

 

(OCC: I meant it for anyone who just arrived at the house)

(OOC: You did mean me, right? 'Cause if you don't I'll just cross out this post. )

"Oh, I don't know. Probably a few hours at least. Why?" Duh, stupid. Because it's freezing outside. She got up and looked at the thermometer. "Holy pony crap! Is it really that cold outside?" Don't be such and idiot, brain. Of course it's that cold outside!

[Zanther 15]

Well, Scintillant would of liked to have fallen asleep. This was starting to not be possible with everyone else begining to crowd into the living room, as open as it was. He was however, starting to get cold and seeing Star Rain take a blanket off her, he used his own magic to levitate one of them over to himself. It was suprisingly cold even for him. Granted he had never been up to the northern regions but he was no stranger to snow on the ground and a very small fire in the form of a lantern in his wagon to heat it up some. He did have blankets though. He had wished he could of grabed some things but there was no time. The remaning members of the Troupe had to get out fast or be caught in Discords magic.

 

Soon he was a bit warmer and nodded off again. He didn't know how long he had been out but he began to dream. He was back with the others as Discords magic started to take root. The events of that day transpired before his eyes once again. Then the fleeing and the pain he felt as he turned to look back and leaving his wife who was already affected and beyond help. He started to sob slightly in his sleep as a lone tear fell from his closed eyes.

[Cherry Blossom 864]

Cherry Blossom woke up and rubbed her eyes, as any usal morning she would. She stared at the ceiling for a moment and then looked around the room, noticing a few new ponies. Then a familiar golden retriever puppy jumped onto Cherry Blossom and started licking her face. "Clef! I missed you so much boy!" she exclaimed, petting the dog's head.

 

((OOC: I'm going to go to bed, so I'll leave the control of my OC to Silver Heart and Dawnpath.))

[SilverHeart 741]

Silver Heart watched as the puppy licked Cherry Blossom. There aren't very many dogs in Equestria...I wonder where she got it. She walked over to the white pegasus. "I see you're up. I hope you rested well. How are you feeling Cherry Blossom?" Silver Heart asked her.

[Cherry Blossom 864]

"Yes, I feel much better than every, but may I ask where the new ponies came from?" she smiled while gently handling the little pup. "Oh and I would also love to ask where you found Clef! He's been missing for so long and I was so worried about him!" Cherry Blossom exclaimed as she pet the dog on its head.

[Octavia's Bow 2,035]

"Huh, that's his name. Clef lead me out of a very fluffy, pink maze. Sorry for interjecting," he added, "My name is Mapmaker, I'm a- Well, I guess I'm a refugee now, but in truth, I don't like staying in one place anyways. I'm an explorer. He is a very beautiful dog, and he loves you very much." He pulls out the strangely organized box again, and pulls out a package labeled frostbite. He looks at it, "I think this might help, but it probably wouldn't cure you, even if I used all of it."

[Cherry Blossom 864]

"It's nice to meet you Mapmaker." Cherry Blossom turned back to heer pet and smiled and the dog. "You helped this pony? Good boy!" she turned back to Mapmaker with a happy face. "I'd l-like to thank you for keeping an eye on him. I was so worried and with all that cold outside," Cherry Blossom said. She turned to the package and briefly stared at it for a moment.

[Octavia's Bow 2,035]

He blushed, "It was more him taking care of me. This package is, not entirely pleasant. It's made in the north, and what they do is they mix berries by grinding them in racks. They don't always get all the pebbles out; it can be very annoying, but it's supposed to help frostbite, and help soothe it's pain. It's also edible, but that's not really important right now."

[Cherry Blossom 864]

"Well I'm glad that you two are safe. So is the package supposed to be applied on every frostbite affected part I have? I mean it had to be better than just sitting here and waiting for this frostbite to recover." Cherry Blossom tipped her head and looked at the box.

[Octavia's Bow 2,035]

He put the package in front of her, "Ya, just a thin layer. It shouldn't take a lot for the maximum effect. However, you might not feel anything; you've got it pretty bad... It's to bad the city shifted again, we just saw the hospital..." He frowned, looking Cherry Blossom over.

[Cherry Blossom 864]

"Every bit counts, right?" said Cherry Blossom, hoping to enlighten things. "How do I apply this? I mean, I'm no nurse or anything, but is it like ointment or something like a dirt mask?" she was confused as to how to use the package. Clef just barked at everypony with exuberance.

[Octavia's Bow 2,035]

He shifted uncomfortably, "You just, you know, dab some on your hoof. Nothing to it, really. Everywhere that's effected. I'll be in the kitchen." He walked off, entering the kitchen. Pacing back and forth, his thought strayed to his wanderlust; The itch, the itch! But I can't leave, not yet....
