private The S.S. Romantic (RP)

[Descant 1,898]

Rose sank deep in the water. It really was soothing, that water. She was pretty sure her leg was mended thanks to the time she had spent in it, but she chose to relax. It really was peaceful, to sit in the warm water, and listen to the whispers of the Forest. Like she would in the Everfree Forest she loved so much. For the first time on this trip, she felt at home, and truly at peace.

 

 

The Forest has so much to say if you know how to listen to it, as Rose did. As she sat, simmering in the water, the Forest whispered to her, told her many of its secrets. The Forest also whispered of how, at this very moment, ponies armed with knowledge came seeking Star, and that Somber would be given away. With the Forest's Whispers urging her to act, Rose pulled herself out of the heated pool, and said to Somber and Star, without looking at either of them, "Moon's Beam and the others are on their way. I'd leave these springs if I were you, oh Painted Wing." She spoke in a lilted tongue, the same that the Forest would whisper to her with.

Bright Spark ran up the hill just as rose went over to the bush. He wnt over to the bush "somber- i know- who-you are." he was out of breath. "i can- help you. i have- a plan of actiion. just trust- me on this." HE used a spell to make sure he had a lock on somber, in case he ran again.

[Miss Light Diamond 2,802]

"Than you Rose. Somber, Let us help you, You don't have to be a slave to the chief, We can help." She said, giving him a hug. 

Then Bright Spark trotted over. "See, Bright Spark has an idea. I dont know why the zebras had to dress you up in the first place but, We are here to help." 

[Descant 1,898]

"The Forest sympathises with your plight, and so do I," Rose said. She didn't seem to realise that she might be thought of as strange for speaking for the forest. But the Forest did speak, and it chose to speak through Rose, as the Everfree would. She paused for a moment, evidently listening to something the others couldn't hear. Still in the strange lilting tongue, she continued, "We will cooperate. The Forest has given me permission to manipulate it in order to help you. I'm not sure why it likes you so much, but..." She trailed off, as was the usual for Rose.

Somber was about to scurry, but Spark had him pinned with magic. He sighed.

 

"No, I don't want you guys to get involved... I don't want to risk you guys getting hurt or anything. I have a job to do, and a entire tribe to feed. Now Spark, if you could end your spell, I need to get some more fruit from the trees."

[Descant 1,898]

Rose actually laughed, a resounding harmony to the sounds of the forest. "They want food? That's what they enslaved you for? Here. I can get fruit for you easily. See that tree? I could make it grow any kind of fruit and drop it to the ground for you, instantaneously." 

 

Rose's spell was instant and obvious. From the single tree next to them dropped dozens of a strange hairy brown fruit. "Coconuts. Strange. I meant to make apples. Take these back to your masters, anyway." She sat down, tired.

"Somber. If we all help collect food for the tribe... Maybe they wont use you as a slave, We can all work together as friends to earn a place here until we can find a way home." Star hugged somber again and said. "We are friends. Friends help each other, And there is nothing you can say to change my mind." 

[Sunbro 4 Lyfe 939]

"ah but you havent heared my plan.if i can, i will make a deal. every week i go out with about five zebras and use magic to pick the fruit. since none of it will fall to the ground none of it will get rotten. they get more harvest, and the only offer is that you become a free pony."

[Chespin 180]

Firecracker and Moonbeam had caught up to Somber to find him held in place by Spark. "We really need to get off this island, but with you being a slave and all, It shouldn't really matter anyways. Sparky, can you explain your "Plan of action?" he said to Somber while asking Spark at the same time.

[Undyne 1,483]

As he kept hearing all of the other suggestions, Somber was feeling really small, until he finally spoke up.

 

"GUYS!"

 

The entire crowd had grown silent from his yell.

 

"I appreciate all of your suggestions, and your help. Really, I do. But, this is my job and my job alone. And there's no way in the world that any of you will change my mind about that. I'm sorry..."

 

He walked out from the group and headed down to the beach, wanting to be alone...

[Marathon 562]

Stacy continued to walk the beach now bored out of her mind. The ocarina was still to wet to play. She got the sudden urge to try killing herself again. She sat down in the sand and talked to herself for a while. *Great now im going crazy, talking to myself.* she sighed and got back up and walked to the shore line. Stacy let the cold sea water lap at her fore hooves. "What the buck is wrong with me? I really need you right now hop." She said looking at the sky as if little hop could hear her.

[Sunbro 4 Lyfe 939]

Bright Spark watched somber dissapoitingly "oh. well since i wont need to do any work, might'swell go back to my room and think of how we're going to get back home." he trotted eagerly down to his hut, and began to think up ideas of escape. he couldent write any of them down without paper however.

As Somber walked away from the jungle opening, he reaches the shoreline of the island, staring out into the horizon. A tear beginning to form from his left eye, as he waded into the water. The waves immediately removed the paint from his legs, as he sits down where all the paint is removed from his chest and neck. What they all meant... They all wanted to help, and he didn't accept a single one...

 

"What kind of friend am I to them? I just blew them off, like they were just... just...."

 

He started crying, the tears cutting through the pain on his face. His hooves covered his eyes, the saltiness of the water began to sting. He was a total jerk for not accepting their help at all... They probably hated him now... Especially Star... His hooves dropped into the water, as he tearfully looked up into the sky. The clouds and the sun were at perfect levels, perfect for a day outside. The waves weren't too rough, nor were they too calm. 

 

Everything in this setting was just too perfect.... Except for his situation. Any kind of backlash could result in a great deal of sorrow and pain... If he didn't do anything, the same result will happen. Why was decision making so difficult for him?

 

He shouldn't have left them... He should have accepted their help... And now that he didn't... His crying was louder as he sat in the waves, by himself...

[Descant 1,898]

Rose watched the One with Painted Wing - no, Somber - leave. She drooped slightly, disappointed that he had rejected their help, and walked back slowly to mull in the warm water for a little while. Well, this was her opportunity to think. Maybe, just maybe, the serenity of the Forest could help her clear her mind and make a choice.

[MelancholicMemory 2,025]

Well...now what? Moonbeam wasn't really sure of what to do. They had to free Somber, but he didn't want their help. At the same time they had to escape the island. There was only one thing to do at a time like this!

 

Moonbeam walked over by the spring which Rose was lying in, lay down on the ground and fell asleep.

 

(OOC: This is setting up for something, but I'm also going to sleep. Good night.)

[Marathon 562]

*ugh! Dont these zebras have anything to entertain them?* Stacy thought as she walked back into the forest. She looked at the bright green leaves on the trees. Stacy let out a yawn and found a large tree with a good amount of shade under it. She walked under it, the air was cool under the tree. She took a quick look around the tree and saw fruit on its branches. *maybe i can buck some of those down. Ive seen apple jack do it numerous times before, it cant be that hard.* she turned her back to the tree and kicked it hard. The branches shook and a few fruits fell off. Stacy snatched one up and took a bite out of it. *Mmmm, these are delicious! I'll take a few back with me.* she collected a few and headed back to her hut to rest some more.

[Miss Light Diamond 2,802]

As Somber walked off into the jungle Star wanted to go scream into a pillow, But instead she took a deep breath and secretly followed behind Somber. 

She watched him walk into the water and cry. 

"Somber." She said, walking out from the jungle. "We will get off this island together... and this zebra problem... Could be worse." She walked out into the water and sat down next to him.

[Windy Scamper 403]

A little irritated at Greenleaf, Scamps began to show a hint of annoyance in her voice. "Well?" She asked. "Did you hear me? How good of a doctor are you? Because there's something I've wanted to help Airy with for a long time, but none of the doctors could do it. So, I wa swondering, could you? Could you restore his legs and wings somehow?" She asked hopefully.

 

(OOC: Someone rp as Greenleaf, I'm trying to set up for Avatar scenario.))

[Miss Light Diamond 2,802]

(OOC: Sorry.)

 

Greenleaf raised an eyebrow at Scamps. "I am a good healer... I do not consider myself a doctor. I use herbs and natural healing... But restoring his legs I can not do... But his wings, I may be able to help... It depends on how bad his injury is... But there are ways to bring back his abilty to move them... What happened ?" She asked, Placing several plants on a small rack so they could dry out.

She then took a couple flowers and mashed them up into a paste, Then she trotted over to Airy and rubbed the mixture onto his forehead.

[Windy Scamper 403]

"He had a flying accident..." Scamps said. "He never told me the full story, but it was during a race, so he was probably flying fast." She sighed as she looked down at Airy. "I...I would rather have him have his wings instead of legs. So, if you can bring back his ability to move his wings, that would be...beyond amazing." She said, trying to smile.

[Miss Light Diamond 2,802]

"I will need to talk to him... If it was a very very bad accident than, I dont know if I can help, but... If he is willing to work at this, for hours a day... Than he may be able to fly again, It will take a long time though.
At first all he will be able to do is twitch his wings, But after lots of hard work... Eventually he may be able to move them." Greenleaf said, Placing the last bit of the mixture into a glass jar.

 

(OOC: I am going to go to bed, Goodnight, I will talk to ya tomorrow.)

Scamps nodded as she looked down at Airy again, and then turned to go into her hut. Scamps then climbed into her hammock and fell asleep, slightly excited. 'Airy might fly again...' she thought. 'For once, we could fly, side by side, fly together, twiling around each other...' The thought made her smile as she slept.

 

((OOC: goodnight, everyone. Be back tomorrow afternoon.))

[Marathon 562]

Stacy made it to her hut still tired even though it was close to afternoon. She had finished eating a few of the fruits she had kicked down from the tree she had found. Looking around she found a spot to place the ocarina and fruits and gently placed them down, jumped into her hammok and closed her eyes.

(OOC: yeah, im hitting the hay as well. Talk to you all later)

[Undyne 1,483]

Somber's crying had cleared up once Star had sat down with him in the water.

 

"You don't get it... When I was trying to get out of the springs, I slipped and bruised my wing. And the stupid shaman won't tend to slaves... If I don't get it well enough, I'm going to be punished like crazy."

[Sunbro 4 Lyfe 939]

After sitting in his room for a good couple of hours just. thinking... Bright Spark went into the chiefs room. "uh chief? so since im going to be stuck for a long time, i have a little deal. i sill spend half the day every day collecting fruit. And in exchange, you let your slave 'oak branch' free. now is that a deal?
