open Need for Heroes! (Revamp) Role Play

[Nightfall 3,950]

"Yeah, it's true. So I help Uncle Nighty take down bad guys. It can be fun, but it's very dangerous. Sometimes, ponies fight, and get hurt. That's no fun, especially when they get really angry at us. But everypony is safe right now, so we have nothing to worry about."

 

Sapphire woke up moaning, "Broooooowwwwwnieeeees."

 

(Should I give Azure a power? Something almost like prophecy and/or limited mind-reading, considering Sapphire's magic.)

 

Azure stared at Maven. She blinked once or twice, but never said anything else for the moment.

 

Nightfall looked at Sapphire and sighed.

"Maven, shall I go get brownies for Sapphire?"

[Octavia's Bow 2,035]

Maven shook her head no and pointed above Sapphire's head, where a tray was slowly materializing. Den came back with a stuffed bear, a stuffed snake, and a stuffed wolf. He set them on a cart and announced his arrival; "Hey guys, I'm back. I found some of my old toys and-"

 

"Den, that's not all of the prophecy dolls."

 

"Sapphire, I told you, these are not prophecy dolls. You are only supposed to do prophecy dolls when a foal or filly is five."

 

"Azure is five."

 

"Oh. Well, you know where the bla-" A row of dolls appeared. "Well, why don't you just perform the ceremony then.

 

"Because I'm not the shaman."

 

"Alrighty then, let me work."

 

"I thought you weren't going to do the cer-"

 

"SAPPHIRE! Silence." He sighed, and took his pack off, going through it until he brought out a small leather pouch. Out of it, he took a branch that he rubbed on his face in specific places, before reaching into his pack and swapping hats for a small bone-crown. He sighed, "I wish it wasn't necessary to wear all this. It makes me smell like a fireplace and look psychotic. Don't be alarmed. Now, I need the consent of the parents."

 

"I give m-"

 

"For the love of- I got it Sapphire, I have your permission." He looked at Speedy.

"Den, that's not all of the prophecy dolls."

 

"Sapphire, I told you, these are not prophecy dolls. You are only supposed to do prophecy dolls when a foal or filly is five."

 

"Azure is five."

 

"Oh. Well, you know where the bla-" A row of dolls appeared. "Well, why don't you just perform the ceremony then.

 

"Because I'm not the shaman."

 

"Alrighty then, let me work."

"I give m-"

 

"For the love of- I got it Sapphire, I have your permission." He looked at Speedy.

 

Azure just blinked, still staring at Maven. She then looked at Den and stared at him.

 

Speedy looked a little scared, but nodded.

"You have my consent."

 

And finally, Nightfall was confused as Sapphire brought up the prophecy dolls, and he fell behind just thinking, so he gave up trying to understand.

[Octavia's Bow 2,035]

Den nodded and stomped, creating a hollow noise. A circle flared out from underneath him, glowing and solidifying into a perfectly enclosed circle around him, the foal, and the dolls. Time slowed around the ponies inside, to the point that time almost stopped. Since Speedy was still inside the circle she was normal.

 

"Relax," Den tells her. "It's customary to have the mother watch in on this. I didn't want Sapphire here because she knows what all the dolls mean, and might try to influence Azure's decision." He sets the dolls around Azure in a circle, with care that they were in a certain order and all facing her.

 

Snake

Ox

Tiger

Bear

Wolf

Swan

Sparrow

Eagle

Turtle

 

"Choose one you like more than the others," Den tells her, "But make sure you are absolutely certain.

[Nightfall 3,950]

Den nodded and stomped, creating a hollow noise. A circle flared out from underneath him, glowing and solidifying into a perfectly enclosed circle around him, the foal, and the dolls. Time slowed around the ponies inside, to the point that time almost stopped. Since Speedy was still inside the circle she was normal.

 

"Relax," Den tells her. "It's customary to have the mother watch in on this. I didn't want Sapphire here because she knows what all the dolls mean, and might try to influence Azure's decision."

Speedy looked around, not sure of what to do as Azure started straight at Den. Only eventually did she looked down at the dolls. She spent time looking all of them over, and then picked up the wolf and held it closer to her. She rocked back and forth, humming something while staring at Den.

[Octavia's Bow 2,035]

Den smiled as the wolf became substantial and the rest of the dolls dissipated. "So you like the wolf, huh? Ehh, you'll be alright. You can relax Speedy, it's over. This is just nature magic." He stomped again in time to hear Maven say, "-hate it when he does that."

[Nightfall 3,950]

Den smiled as the wolf became substantial and the rest of the dolls dissipated. "So you like the wolf, huh? Ehh, you'll be alright. You can relax Speedy, it's over. This is just nature magic." He stomped again in time to hear Maven say, "-hate it when he does that."

 

Speedy looked around her, and breathed lightly.

"Well, Den, if you say so..."

 

Azure closed her eyes and kept rocking with her wolf doll, now singing unintelligibly to herself, smiling. She seemed happy and relaxed enough.

 

Nightfall smiled at the foal.

"She'll be a good child."

"What about me?"

Nightfall nearly jumped, and looked at Azure who was staring at ihm.

"You thought about me... what did you think?"

"That you'll be a good child..."

Azure closed her eyes and kept doing what she was doing, while Nightfall tapped Maven.

"May we talk privately for a moment?"

[Octavia's Bow 2,035]

"We may," she replied. "Now, nopony think any swears, okay?"

 

Den gave her a blank look, like, "Huh?"

 

Maven just lead Nightfall out, flapping her wings a bit. She closed the door behind them and turned to him. "There. Private. Now, what do you want to talk to me about?" She cocked her head to the side.

[Nightfall 3,950]

Nightfall looked side to side, then at Maven.

"Azure is at least a little... Well, it's almost hard to explain, but she's currently slightly telepathic. She got inside my mind for a moment while we were in the room. We'll have to be more careful around this filly. We don't know what else she is capable of."

 

Azure looked at Den.

"Den, what does she mean? Why does she say that you shouldn't think curses?" 

[Octavia's Bow 2,035]

Den looked at her a bit strangely, then thought in her direction, Curses are naughty words you should never say. My mother usually washed my mouth out with soap. She probably figured you were reading minds... Do you read minds?

 

Maven rolled her eyes, "Oh please Nightfall, she's a foal. Besides, it might be a good thing. We might finally figure out what to get Sapphire for her birthday."

[Nightfall 3,950]

Den looked at her a bit strangely, then thought in her direction, Curses are naughty words you should never say. My mother usually washed my mouth out with soap. She probably figured you were reading minds... Do you read minds?

 

Maven rolled her eyes, "Oh please Nightfall, she's a foal. Besides, it might be a good thing. We might finally figure out what to get Sapphire for her birthday."

 

"Of course I read minds. How else would I be able to talk to you without talking to you?"

She kept her blank gaze on Den, barely blinking.

 

"She is a foal. But a telepathic foal. I don't want to control her, but we need to make sure she doesn't get any crazy ideas or go off to be a criminal."

[Octavia's Bow 2,035]

Maven sighed, "And how is that different than any other foal or filly? How about, instead of worrying about it, we teach her morals, and control of the power. Honestly, Nightfall, how would you feel if ponies thought they had to do something special so you'd behave because you are an alicorn? And you can't even hear what they're thinking about you!"

 

Den raised his eyebrows, A grave responsibility for one so young. Especially since some secrets should remain secrets. Azure, there are things in this world that you would rather not know about.

[Nightfall 3,950]

Den raised his eyebrows, A grave responsibility for one so young. Especially since some secrets should remain secrets. Azure, there are things in this world that you would rather not know about.

 

"Then obviously I haven't learned much about fillies and colts."

He sighed.

"Well.. All right, then. We'll go about it with you leading."

 

"That's why they are secrets, Uncle Den. That's why you promise to keep them!"

She rocked back and forth for a bit before stopping.

"But what things? Bad things?"

[Octavia's Bow 2,035]

Den sighed, Bad things, like death. Violence. Pain. Bad memories. Things that should remain private to their owners. Not things little fillies need to know. And with obvious practice, barriers inside of Den's mind shot up.

 

Maven laughed, "That's not our job. That's Sapphire and Speedy's job. You really need to stop worrying so much about things you can't control."

[Nightfall 3,950]

Maven laughed, "That's not our job. That's Sapphire and Speedy's job. You really need to stop worrying so much about things you can't control."

 

"Hey!"

But Azure couldn't do anything. She sighed and resumed singing to herself and rocking.

 

He sighed.

"Sometimes I just can't think straight. Well... since I apparently can't do anything..."

He walked back into the hospital room, where Azure looked at him.

 

"What's wrong, Uncle Nighty?"

"Oh, it's- it's nothing, Azure. And besides... oh, never mind. I'm sure your mother Sapphire will teach you it."

[Octavia's Bow 2,035]

(Teach it to you)

 

Maven sighed, "Other than being one of the best officers I know, and one of the nicest stallions I've ever met, or possibly one of the wiser ponies I've met, you're not good at much. Wait a minute, you're practically the perfect stallion for a mare. And we haven't even started on the fighting prowess."

 

Den grinned and stuck his tongue out at Azure teasingly.

[Nightfall 3,950]

Maven sighed, "Other than being one of the best officers I know, and one of the nicest stallions I've ever met, or possibly one of the wiser ponies I've met, you're not good at much. Wait a minute, you're practically the perfect stallion for a mare. And we haven't even started on the fighting prowess."

Den grinned and stuck his tongue out at Azure teasingly.

He looked at Maven. And smiled.

"Thanks... I guess? What am I not good at? Because you are implying I'm not good at something..."

 

Azure grinned.

"That wasn't nice, Uncle Denny!"

But she was playing around, as Den had been, to a degree. She tried reaching out and hugging him.

[Octavia's Bow 2,035]

Den grinned and leaned down so she could hug him.

 

Maven sighed, "You were doing that, 'I can't do anything right thingie." She hugged him and grinned promiscuously, "And your good for much more than you... Police duties." She lightly drew a hoof across his face.

[Nightfall 3,950]

Den grinned and leaned down so she could hug him.

Maven sighed, "You were doing that, 'I can't do anything right thingie." She hugged him and grinned promiscuously, "And your good for much more than you... Police duties." She lightly drew a hoof across his face.

Azure hugged him tightly.

"There. You're the silly, funny uncle. And Uncle Nighty's the one I wanna cuddle with."

Se grinned and looked at Nightfall.

 

Nightfall blushed.

"Not around Azure, Maven."

He chuckled, hugging her back, then turned and saw Azure grinning at him.

"What do you want, silly filly?"

"To cuddle you!"

[Octavia's Bow 2,035]

Maven and Nightfall in the same room. With Azure. She wants to cuddle Nightfall. Maven made a promiscuous statement... Mmmm... Den thought very loudly, You can't do the same 'cuddling' with him that Maven wants to. Remember those secrets that should be secret? This is one of them.

[Nightfall 3,950]

Nightfall picked up Azure, smiling, and sat down in one of the chairs provided. Azure grinned and wiggled close to him, as Nightfall looked at Maven. He raised his eyebrows, as if to say, "If we have a child, would it be like this?"

 

Azure thought back at Den.

"Will I know it eventually?"

[Octavia's Bow 2,035]

Yes, you will. And when you know it, it will hit you like a freight truck.

 

Maven shrugged as if to say, "I don't know," and turned to Speedy. "So, when can you guys leave? I mean, I know these things take time, but that's usually more because of the foal and less because of the mom."

[Nightfall 3,950]

Yes, you will. And when you know it, it will hit you like a freight truck.

 

Maven shrugged as if to say, "I don't know," and turned to Speedy. "So, when can you guys leave? I mean, I know these things take time, but that's usually more because of the foal and less because of the mom."

 

Speedy looked at Maven.

"Well, I think... maybe tomorrow. We'll ask the next passing doctor, but it shouldn't be too long."

 

Nightfall looked down at the grinning filly, and hugged her.

"Uncle Nighty... I like you... at a lot."

"I know, Azure. I know..."

 

"A freight truck? Will it hurt? I don't want it to hurt..."

[Octavia's Bow 2,035]

Den sighed out loud, When you're older, Azure. I can't really explain it to you; it's different for mares than for stallions. He eyed her with a frown, Don't force me to make you wear a chastity belt. You won't like it. It's heavy, and makes it hard to use the bathroom.

 

"Interesting... Nightfal and I were just talking, and he said that he might actually like a foal with Delphina too..." She smiled at him from across the room.

 

(PG Nightfall...)

[Nightfall 3,950]

(PG Nightfall...)

 

(Dude, I got this. I'm keeping it PG. XD And no, I didn't fully mean it as a "I love you.")

 

"What do you mean? What did I say? And what exactly is a chastity belt?"

 

Azure looked at Maven and blinked.

"Delphina... who is Delphina? I thought Uncle Nighty was with you... Is there something between you two?"

She cocked her head to the side.
