private An Unexpected Journey of sorts (RP)

[Octavia's Cellozoid 1,488]

Noticing a bow and a sheath of arrows on the table, Sweet Love grabbed them before anypony else could. She could enchant the arrows with magic, and sneak her way around nearly any enemy... She could suddenly see why that one pony was excited. She made it look like she was preoccupied with something else, but Sweet was watching the lavender stallion.

[Descant 1,897]

Descant followed the crowd of ponies being ushered into the roomful of weapons. There were heavy broadswords, maces, and axes; none of these interested Descant. What did catch Descant's eye was a finely crafted bow and arrow. Although, he had no need of the bow. His flute and knives worked perfectly well for him. He decided... that he would take the bow, but only if nopony else did. He had some experience with it. However, just as soon as this thought formed, the purple mare from earlier snatched it up. His hunch had been correct about her, apparently. He made his way to one of the corners of the room, where he simply sat down and played a simple melody on the intricately carved wooden flute he pulled out from under his cloak. He pushed back his hood, deciding there was no risk if he were identified at this point.

Arrow started searching through the weapons until she found a very pretty looking double ended spear. She picked it up and grinned, Then she strapped it to her saddlebag.

She sat down and watched the rest of the ponies examine daggers and swords.

Taking in the sight of all those weapons, Star Rain was amazed. She didn't show it, but she was ecstatic. After a little thought, she chose a thin sword that had a little curve at the point. She also chose a few daggers to go along with it, She charged the sword and the daggers with her own magic, causing them to glow with a cyan light, much like that of a firefly.

(OOC: Can I have a katana ? Or is that a little too strange. I can always edit.)

((Pushing the boundaries a bit there. Folded steel is quite an advanced form of smith work that wasn't perfected for centuries. That and we're in the wrong culture. If I was more lenient I would allow it but since I like to keep my RP's as accurate as possible I'm going to have to ask you to select something else. Sorry.))

Cunning Horn smirked at the end of conversation. Fame and decent reward. What could be better than that? He didn't ask anything about the journey. He would just stick with the company, protected by those bunch of ponies and then, the prize. He stood when the leader-like stallion offered them weapons to choose. Still with his bottle of rum, he took a schianova and test it against his sharpened horn. The metal was pretty good. Even the edge part was as hard as the trunk. He sheathe that rapier in his saddle and sat down, drinking his rum.

Goldseek finds his puzzle box under the table when he hears the announcement. An array of weapons, none taking his interest straight away. A strange blade, one he was unfamiliar with, is placed in the mess. Picking it up, he sees how deadly it could be. It was a dagger, almost identical to his, yet very different. A dual bladed weapon, and it would prove as a valuable weapon. He picks it up, then places it in his puzzle box with his other one.

Taking in the sight of all those weapons, Star Rain was amazed. She didn't show it, but she was ecstatic. After a little thought, she chose a samurai sword that looked as if it was made in a far-away, foreign land. She charged the sword with her own magic, causing it to glow with a cyan light, much like that of a firefly.

((Same as my last post. Samurai Sword (aka Katana) is a bit too ahead of our time and culture. May I ask you change your weapon if that's okay.))

 

Star Keeper decided it was his turn to find something. Only issue; he's never handled a sword in his life. After looking across the variety of sharp and pointy objects he simply selected two short blades, strapping them to his back.

SNIP

Sweet threw the sheath over her shoulder, and heard somepony playing what sounded like a flute. Scanning the room, she realized it was that same lavender unicorn. She nonchalantly made her way over to where he was sitting and put herself two or three feet away, enjoying the melody.

(OOC: I changed my post)

Glad she casted the charging spell, Star Rain found some sheaths and stuck her now enchanted daggers into them and then put them in her saddlebags. She then found a bigger sheath with a strap on it and stuck her sword in it and threw it over her shoulder. She drunk her milk and practiced using her water orb spells on a small training dummy she brought with her. After that, she fired a magic blast at it. On and on, she honed her spells and even tested out one of her daggers on it.

[aRegularPony 306]

Goldseek examined the weapons everyone took, and was surprised how many, as well as himself, had armed themselves with daggers and short blades. One of the ponies, who Goldseek believed was called Star Rain, had done some kind of enchantment to 'upgrade' her weapons. Sharpening his daggers, he took notice of a unicorn, who had chosen his flute as his weapon. Goldseek threw his dagger at a target on the wall, hitting a bullseye and startling some ponies around him. He retrieved his weapon and smirked, again placing the dual bladed dagger in his puzzle box.

[Descant 1,897]

Descant's ears twitched, but that was the only sign he had noticed the approach of another. It could be no coincidence; he was the only one in that corner of the room. However, he kept his eyes relaxed, and closed, and continued playing the song he knew by heart. However, he tuned the song out, and listened intently, to the sounds a pony made that they were never even able to hear themselves. After several moments (Thankfully the pony kept her silence), he determined that it was the same mare he had stuck up for earlier. 

 

The song ended, and Descant tucked the flute away, brushing the hilts of his many jeweled daggers in the process, and blew his mane out of his still-closed eyes, to where he preferred to keep it, blown away from his face. Then, he addressed the mare he knew to sit across from him. "I don't believe we were ever officially acquainted. M'name's Descant, Son of Bel Canto." Only then did he open his eyes, and they were twinkling. "Nice to meet you."

Arrow stood up and bought herself another cup of water. "I guess I should probably socialize with some of these ponies." She thought, Looking around the room for somepony to talk too.

Star Rain's ears twitched when she heard the sound of a dagger flying through the air and hitting something. She stopped her spells and turned to look at the Earth Pony who might've thrown it. "Wow, he's got amazing trajectory," she commented. Her comment could be heard by any pony near her. It was first time ever since her escape that she spoke that loud.

"It's a pleasure to meet you. I am Sweet Love. Um.. Thanks for sticking up for me back there, it helped a lot." Sweet met Descant's gaze happily, trying not to look too overjoyed to finally know his name. She was ready for any answer, mostly because she suddenly felt like she could take on all of Equestria.

Descant nodded slowly, his emerald eyes meeting her carnation ones. "It was no big deal. Helm tends to be a little unfair like that..." His voice trailed away, as he detected... something... behind her eyes, behind the expression she held. He blinked, and thought quietly for a moment, holding her gaze...

[Octavia's Cellozoid 1,488]

A spark.

 

In all of the years she had spent studying charms and love, this was the first time Sweet Love had felt one. "Um, yeah..." She caught herself before she added something about how beautiful his eyes were. She definitley didn't want to embarrass herself right now...

[aRegularPony 306]

Goldseek was sat at the table, playing around with his puzzle box. He caught two ponies flirting in a corner, one being the pony with the flute, and just laughed. A letter materialized in front of him through some kind of magic, and on it were two words. Two words he dreaded, ever since he first opened his puzzle box. Two words that haunted him since the age of 10. Good bye.

 

He stumbled outside to get some fresh air, crumpling the piece of paper on his way. Could he have sent it? Is he still alive? Goldseek just sat in the street, trying to hide his frightened face.

 

(OOC: You probably wont understand this without reading this)

[MagicalStarRain 599]

Star Rain trained her spells somemore until she had exhausted her magic. It was at that time that she noticed a note appear in front of Goldseek. Whatever was written on it must've been pretty sad, judging from the sad expression on his face. She recognized the feelings as loss and wanting. She knew those feelings all too well. And the thing, no, PONY, that she wants the most is some pony she will never have again. It was weird, actually. She never felt empathy before. Never for even a second had she felt the feeling known as empathy. At least, not until now.

The tiniest bit of strain appeared at the corners of Descant's mouth as he felt things get a little awkward. Things always got awkward, and would go downhill... Ah well. He was used to solitude, and had probably jumped to conclusions here anyway. He sat up slightly, and looked around distractedly. "...Yeah." He echoed.

[Ghostpony 17]

“Star Keeper!” Helm yelled to him across the tavern, Star instantly abandoning his attempt at socializing to rush to him. “These ponies will need to be armed. Prepare the weapons spread; we will let them choose themselves.”   Star eagerly nodded. “You’ll be wanting the lot then?”   “Bring them all.”       Star has laid out an impressive display of weaponry on the long oak table, everything from spears and pikes, even down to bows and daggers. All of it was off darkened hammered steel, giving off little shine.   “You will all need to be armed for the journey ahead. Take what you wish. No pony leaves tomorrow without at least a sharp stone at their side.”

 

Seeker watched everything around him, most of the group where choosing weapons they either seemed accustomed to but for the few like himself that brought their own weapons just watched. "i already have my own weapon." Seeker spoke with a quick movement of his right claw, his cloak opened to show two blades on each of his sides, a closer look at Seeker's blade would show that they were connected together by a long chain and each blade at first appeared exactly the same with the left being a bit larger. "one must have both speed and power when in combat" Seeker added with a smile as he looked at Helm.

 

Arrow stood up and bought herself another cup of water. "I guess I should probably socialize with some of these ponies." She thought, Looking around the room for somepony to talk too.

 

Seeker's attentions didn't stay on Helm for to long as he turned his head to Arrow as he saw her look for somepony to talk to. "If were going to be traveling together why not tell me about yourself, i'm Seeker once a captain in the royal griffin guard, and you my odd pony friend" he spoke with a small smile

Arrow grinned. "My name is Arrowleaf. And im not a pony." She said, Taking a sip of her water and sitting down at the long table.

"I usually don't tell ponies this but you said it...We are going to be traveling together for a long time so I may as well get it out now...I'm a Dryad." She smiled and pulled the chair next to her out from under the table. "So, Captain of the Royal Griffin guard huh ? Why Once ? Are you not captain anymore ?" She asked.

[aRegularPony 306]

Goldseek walked back into the inn, hiding the sadness as he sits back at the table. He took out his dagger and sliced the letter into 100s of smaller pieces. Again, stowing his deadly dual bladed weapon into his puzzle box, he rest his head on the table and just sat there for what seemed like forever.

(OOC: So I go to sleep and a thousand posts appear? Okay, whatever you want.)

 

Wållathen looked around, noticing that every single pony was talking to each other. He had nothing to talk about, so he decided to go grab a scrap of cloth he found in the ground, and polish Yrvindir.

The diamond core the sword possessed in it's interior made it unbreakable, together with a rune and incriptions all across it's blade. It could be read in ancient nordic ponyish(yeah I made that up...):

 

The more they die, the more power is hold in your hoof. Thou who holds this blade shall be announced with a pale blue spark of danger approaching.

 

Wållathen had a weak smile on his face. His expression was but a little impressed. He did not came there to socialize. He went there to help strangers, and acquire a little more knowledge about the possible allies he could get. Yet, he was not sure of what to do. Go talk to some pony or just stay there, thinking of strategies, or perhaps a new fatal blow or combo, for combat effectiveness...

[Octavia's Cellozoid 1,488]

Sweet Love's mind raced. No, no, no... This can't be happening. Things can't get awkward... Why can't I think of anything to say?! He looked down at her hooves for a few seconds. Looking back up, she stole a quick look around the room. The strange green pony and the griffon were conversing, and most of the rest were practicing with their weapons. "So, um... Descant?"
