"It would appear that my stealthy days are over." He called back calmly, admitting defeat as he stepped out of the forest with a slight laugh. He stared down Boomy through his sunglasses. "So what brung you ponies to this forest, eh?" He asked with a intrigued look for their motives.

Sherbet hugged her hoof close to her chest and instantly felt bad for driving the poor stallion to such a state. “I’m sorry,” She mumbled, ducking down. “I...I was looking for some things for my pillow at home. Some purple pussywillow. But I got a little lost, and then I got stuck in a ditch, and it was full of mud, and I heard the most awful wailing last night, really horrible sounds, and I was just...happy to see someone I recognized.”

 

" *SIGH* sorry, i been on edge for a while now, it's not your fault, please, go with pino, he will take care of you"

 

Boomy then turns his attention to the trees "As for you..."

"Don't pretend that you didn't hear every word we just spoke of, you know why we're here, now why don't you tell us why YOU are here?" Boomy knows he's been listening for a while now and demands an answer as for why he was spying them.

"Err, well, because I live out here." He replied with an odd tone and a shrug. "I'm not that informed on the situation besides that you'll be turning back for ponyville." He explained. "You chickening out?" He asked with a fanged grin and a chuckle. "But I am guessing your investigating some sort of beast."

"Oh it's not a problem at all! Sorry if I seemed a little miffed earlier. I had an awesome, but scary dream last night, tired, and we have more and more ponies coming on our trip."

 

Pinoak looks about the interior of the wagon. The floor is spotless, but the desk is cluttered with building supplies and the bed is still unmade. "Er, sorry about the mess. Didn't think to clean it really. Or at least my work bench." His horn glows for a moment as the sheets on the bed start to straighten out. "If you want, there's a passenger's seat beside mine while I drive, there's the roof you can sit on, or you could ride in here." The yellow unicorn's horn starts to glow as the random junk starts floating off a table and into a bin.

 

Pinoak looks at the mare, "I think I may have seen you around Ponyville before. I'm Pinoak, the traveling puppeteer and story collector." He holds out a hoof to her.

"You LIVE in the forest? I thought only zecora had the balls to live here" Boomy seems rather surprised "I'll believe you for now, and yes, we are indeed chickening out, we're going back to town and regroup from there, as for why are we here, its simple, they're here to investigate the series of strange events ocurring in this forest a few nights ago, do you happen to know something about this?"

Featherstone felt a sharp pain and opened his eyes slowly. He hadn't gotten much sleep, but he felt better, which was a good sign. The only thing that he was worried about was that Azura wasn't in the tent with him. He sat up, with a slight groan, and sat there for a moment. He rolled out of his sleeping bag and looked out of the tent.

[Azura 1,107]

From the countless ponies appearing, she simply cannot handle it. "This is absolute chaos, lets just split up. You ponies head over to Ponyville to patch the wounded ponies up and the others are coming with me. Any questions?" She asked, looking from left to right, waiting for an answer.

"Just one question, Azura."

Featherstone climbed out of the tent.

"Do I count as an injured pony? I'm already feeling better, and I'm pretty sure I know what caused my headache and how to stop it next time."

"And I don't want to leave you... I don't ever want to leave you."

"A wise chicken lives a long happy life my friend" Boomy is surprised by azuras statement "Azura, are you really going to do this?" Boomy pierce directly into her eyes with his stare, he can see the fiery determination in azuras eyes and gives a quick nod "I still think this is a bad idea, but i understand, i'll take the injured the doofus and pinoak, we will meet you at zecoras house, wait for us there.

"Kid, you are comming with me for now, don't worry for her, she'll be fine."

 

"And finally, you, the 'Scavanger', you know this area, right? Can i ask you a favor? Can you look up for Azura and the rest? They are just kids you know?"

 

Boomy hands over the stuff of the ponies that will stay and put the rest in pinoaks cart.

"Thank you for your support pino" And as soon as boomy says so, judith appears

 

 

"Judith, right? you seem smart, help me out with this, wake the others and tell them that we're leaving as soon as posible, we're going back to ponyville, we'll get a doctor for Featherstone and for the doofus (Irish Steel) , gather better gear and make a proper pla-"  As he was saying that a new mare comes from the forest.

Judith nods her head and agreed to help in waking and notifying the others about the groups departure. She walks into various tents, being careful to be gentle when speaking, just to make sure no one will gt mad.

 

She gathers the ponies outside of their tents and says to them "Ok everypony, it appears that we are leaving. We will be going back to Ponyville in search of a doctor, so that members of our small party could receive medical treatment. This will also give us the chance to resupply ourselves, with food and weapons fit for another journey into the Everfree. Boomy has been nice enought to pack your belongings as you were sleeping, and we will be departing shortly. Be sure to meet near Pinoaks wagon before we leave, and don't travel to far out of the confines of the camp. This only concerns injured ponies, anypony else will go with Azura to Zacora's house. If you wish to leave, you will not be judged."

 

She left the ponies with that message and walked away toward Azura and tells her "I'm not going to Ponyvill, I will  help escort the rest of the group to Zacora's"

"I'm obviously going to be staying here." He said. "If Id be of use I suppose I could tag along." He called to Azura, almost regretting saying it afterward, he rather disliked socialization now. He couldn't really see well through the broken and shattered sunglasses that he oddly wore to conceal his eyes.

In spite of herself, Sherbet began cheering up, and limped over to the front of the wagon. “Oh, thanks so much,” She beamed. “I don’t care about the mess, really, don’t worry about it.” Her horn glowed briefly as she strained to plump a pillow, and smiled at him. She craned her neck a little, examining all of the marionettes decorating the interior of the wagon, and noticed the fine detail on most of them.

 

Sherbet shook hooves quickly with him, and blushed, biting her lower lip. Ah, that was better. She always felt more comfortable and much giddier once she was around good-looking stallions. Pinoak seemed like a decent stallion, a little untidy, but not unpleasantly so. “I’m Sherbet Swirl. I’ve seen you before, of course, performing in the park. You’re very good.”

 

She sat in the passenger seat, hoping she didn’t look as fat as she felt. That was one of the difficulties about meeting new ponies – she always felt hideously self conscious. “I think we’d better get going...” Sherbet said, glancing at the clearing. “Oh my goodness, who is that?” She stuffed her good hoof against her mouth to stifle a squeal, when she saw the strange, fanged pony lingering in the shadows.

But, favor granted anyways." He explained as he glanced over to Sherbert, then back to Boomy. "I ought to meet you all now, since I'm your guide. Names Hypno." He said with a grin to Boomy.

Arrow was walking around the forest when he heard a few ponies talking out in the distant. He conjures his bow and arrows for safety reasons. accompanied by the talk, he hears the water fall as well. Bow loaded with an arrow, he approaches cautiously. "Hello?" He calls out hoping that somepony would respond from all the commotion.

Boomy has taken his share of ponies and now they're headed back to ponyville, the rest of the party is in the waterfalls planing their next step.

 

Featherstone just stood there.

"No. I'm staying. I'll be fine in a few hours, at most, so I won't be much of a hindrance."

He smiled at Azura, blushing slightly, then turned back to Boomy.

"Good luck on your return trip."

He waved a little, then sat down, his headache subsiding slowly.

Boomy is not convinced by this, his headaches are obviously there and it doesn't seem to disappear at all. Although, he could see it, the same look that Azura had, the one that's telling him that even if he drag Featherstone back to ponyville he will somehow find his way into the forest again.

 

"All right, you can stay, try not to strain yourself, all right?"

@@Nightfall,

"I'm glad you're feeling better Featherstone. You'll be coming with me since you look fine to me." smiling at him, knowing that he's feeling better. "I would never let you go anywhere without me around." placing her hoof on his shoulder as she blushed slightly.

 

@,

After talking to Featherstone, she looked over at Hypno "Well I'm glad you're here Hypno. My names Azura, nice to meet you." she said it as friendly as possible, though having some suspicion about this pony with his worn sunglasses. What was he hiding underneath it? It was only a matter of time before she found out. "So you live around here eh? We're actually here to investigate about a incident a day ago. Do you know anything about it?" Azura asked Hypno, hoping he'd know something about it.

[Octavia's Bow 2,035]

Scout glared at the ponies in the clearing behind a bush. Somepony's been changing the animal's in this forest. My forest. My home. Are these the ponies? It could be. I can hear their agonized screams at Night. I haven't seen my spider in over a week, which is unusual for him. They carry wounds, perhaps from tampering with my beloved family. Not even the birds are singing for them. He hissed, quickly identifying the leader. She wasn't hard to spot; her colors did not match the forest. The ponies looked to her for guidance. I'm getting to the bottom of this. Now. Scout's wings unfolded and he shot like a dart from the bush, connecting with the leader and pinning her. "Who are you and what have you done to my forest?" he asked, in a low, growling undertone he reserved for Timberwolves and stubborn foxes.

 

(If it's too much, I'll edit. I'd just like to insert the fact that, for Scout to act like this, it means something is wrong, and what ever it is has him hacked off. He's not generally outgoing.)

[Chickey 383]

Hypno was about to reply, but was then interrupted by Scout as he flew out of the bush. After a few seconds he talked calmly instead, deciding not to use any type of magic or combat yet. "Do you honestly think that the brightly colored earth pony was capable of this type of  dark magic that have been floating around?" He asked him. "But of course appearances can be deceiving." He said with a chuckle. 

[Octavia's Bow 2,035]

"Silence Darkling. It does not have to by her own hand, that tired-looking jinx-flinger could've just cursed a poor, defenseless bunny into becoming a cruel snake-eater with venomous fangs. Or animated Dark-eyed fungus," he continued to pin the mare down.

[Chickey 383]

"And I thought I became paranoid out in these forests." Hypno muttered as he sat down with a sigh. "How about you give the pony some air and we can talk this over like gentleponies. So far it seems that they were sent from ponyville to help the forest after they noticed something was wrong themselves." He explained.

[LeJAKoJAK 49]

@Snickers,

"Thank you for the compliment. I'm glad you enjoyed my shows. "

Now looking over towards Hypno. "My name is Pinoak Stringhoof, traveling puppeteer and storyteller. Sitting in the passenger seat is Misss. Sherbert Swirl," Pinoak starts listing the rest of the party off, pointing at them as he says their name, "Miss. Honey Seed, Featherstone, Judith, The nightlight, Irish Steel, a Miss whose name probably has something to do with music I don' quite remember off the top of my head, and,"

Pinoak sees the pony holding a bow, "Yet another new comer. Welcome to the group, sorry if I seem a bit annoyed, but you are the fourth or fifth pony to show up out of the blue."

Pinoak starts to walk towards the wagon. "Now, with your permission Azura, let's go. All injured ponies/ponies heading to Ponyville, please come meet me by my wagon, so we can get situated. Best of luck to the ponies continuing the investigation here."

(OOC: @Snickers, It's Pinoak, but don't worry to much about it. @TheRestofGroup f I left a name out, let me know. @@Revolver Bobcat, Here's one, I just forgot to color it.)
