private The Haunted Woods

[Celestial Panzerhund 289]

Frozen gets out her sword and put it in her mouth. "I am not giving up with-out a fight!!" Frozen's eyes turn eager and she goes back to back with Arrow. "Now they can not get us, from any angle." The shadow surrounded the two ponies, but they were both ready, for anything... 

(Dramatic action) Arrow shoots an arrow at the darkness around them and reloads as fast as he can to draw back point and aims again. "I don't see anything yet. I also don't think I got a shot either." he says in a low tone. Arrow looks around. "Nor can I make the light brighter, unless you want me to get rid of my bow and arrows." He said. "Want to risk it?" He asked.

Frozen looked at what she thought was Arrow "No don't let your got down." Frozen stabbed the shadow. "I got it!" The shadow fell on the floor. "Do the final strike with your arrow's" Frozen held the shadow figure up for Arrow to hit. "Go on you can hit it, it's really easy" She smiled at Arrow and waited for the strike.

"It's a, uhh, excuse for being so awkward, and for tackling your leader. I don't have a lot in common with most ponies, and I don't have many pleasant experiences with those who do talk to me. It's always nice to find a pony willing to talk to me. Especially when they're talking with me instead of at me," he sighs, relaxing. "A tree has two sides. The side that the moss covers, and the side that tells you whether or not it's safe to climb," he mumbled softly.

 

"So you haven't been seen as a likable pony... The others must have wondered why you had a "pet" spider, or a spider friend, whichever it is, and must have questioned your good knowledge of the forest and such."

Featherstone stopped and glanced at Azura, sighing.

"Mmm, Featherstone, how many colts did you know from the Everfree in junior high? Anypony different was either cool or crucified," he followed the unicorn's gaze to the leader, "You have feelings for that mare, yes? In nature, most females are attracted to confident males, though I would not know about our own race."

"Not many," he mumbled after Scout had posed the first question. At the second question and the response, his ears perked up, and he looked at Scout, flushed red.

"Well... yes, but... yes... but what are you... are you supposing that I should..."

He blushed deeper red, and looked at the ground.

"Yes, I do."

As Hypno wandered around the temple he realized he wasn't really in a conversation. He looked down for a few moments, looking pained and depressed, before that looked turned to a odd grin and a chuckle. He wondered if they were going to find anything good in this temple yet, so far there hasn't been much. But he knew there had to be something.

[Octavia's Bow 2,035]

Scout nodded, "Then you should talk to her. Try to be confident. Make sure you accurately portray yourself as yourself too. Ask yourself this question, Zecora used to tell me. 'Is it worth it to lie if the lie only comes out in the end?' That would've been after my first experience with poison joke... But it applies, right? Do you really want to live a lie all your life?" He seemed to be talking more to himself at this point, and shook his head. "Sorry, that's not my business. My advice probably sucks anyway..."

"I'm too afraid to act confident, because I may seem over-confident. But then I'm not confident... I guess I should try it, just to try to see if it will work; you know, better check your options."

"No, no, you've got me thinking, which is a good thing. I'll try it; it never hurts to try something, yeah?"

He looked back at Azura, then at the ground.

[Octavia's Bow 2,035]

Scout stifled a laugh with a hoof, "You are so strange. What will be will be, and what won't won't. You remind me of a fly trapped in an open jar, who has yet to realize there is a way out. Almost as bad as me when I see 10, 20 ponies. Well, actually... Closer to five. At ten or twenty I would be in a corner. This is a special occasion; I need to know what's wrong with my home..." The spider was making a web in Scout's hair.

The spider was making a web in Scout's hair.

 

"A fly trapped in an.. open jar?"

Featherstone was confused. He looked at Scout, then at Del, then back at Scout.

"And... oh, wait, I just got it."

He hadn't realized what he had meant when he had said that something was wrong with his home. But then he remembered that Scout came from this forest.

[Octavia's Bow 2,035]

"Del, I swear to Luna you will NEVER CATCH A FLY IN MY HAIR! You were taught better than that!" Scout's hoof waved the spider off his head and onto his back, where it seemed to laugh by shuddering. Scout brushed the web out of his hair and give Del the eye. "You should approach her when you get your nerve up. Just in case somepony else comes along."

The final set of words made Featherstone uneasy, and he gulped a little.

"That... the thing you said last..."

"It isn't helping at all."

"Thanks, Scout. I'll work on it."

"Although, I shouldn't worry too much, because she does seem to care for me a little bit, meaning... but that doesn't guarantee anything..."

[Octavia's Bow 2,035]

"Welp, you seem to be feeling better. You aren't tired-looking at least," he smiled, stretching out on the ground lazily. He watched his spider walk off his back nervously, hoping none of the other ponies would pose a threat to the small spider as it explored it's immediate terrain.

Featherstone looked at @@Azura, and wondered what he should do next. He looked at Scout.

"Well... Thanks, Scout. I think I can go talk to her now. I'll let you know how it goes.[/i]"

He trotted over to the mare.

"Hey, Azura... are you feeling ok right now?"

"Is that seriously what you start with?"

[Chickey 383]

Hypno noticed Featherstone walk up to Azura, he then continued to chuckle and walked up to Scout. "I must thank you, you caused some entertainment for me it seems." He explained jokingly before his tone turned back to normal. "Though I've grown to hate the emotion of love." He added bitterly.

@@Nightfall,

Azura looked at Featherstone and said "I wasn't paying much attention when I was following you ponies so I'm quite lost at the moment.. Do you mind if you tell me where we are right now and what we're trying to accomplish here? The last thing I remember was following a bunch of ponies and my mind just went completely blank until now.."

Honey had to admit that this place was amazing. She wasn't a pony who was interested in history, magic, or even architecture, but the way this place was build was amazing. Everyone stopped once they reached a room filled with statues. She looked back to see how far they had gone, but the halls behind her looked unfamiliar. She was sure she just went this way; it was where her rump was pointing, but the halls behind her looked less familiar than the stuff she hadn't seen yet.

 

She noticed two ponies had left the group. Hypno had warned them that it was dangerous, but a simple tease was enough to send them both into the unknown forest. At least she knew there was a sure way out. 

 

"Should we be worried about the two ponies who have just run off?" Honey Seed asked.

[Celestial Panzerhund 289]

Frozen looked at what she thought was Arrow "No don't let your got down." Frozen stabbed the shadow. "I got it!" The shadow fell on the floor. "Do the final strike with your arrow's" Frozen held the shadow figure up for Arrow to hit. "Go on you can hit it, it's really easy" She smiled at Arrow and waited for the strike.

(sorry about late reply, day was messed up.)

 

Arrow slices the neck of the shadow and steps back allowing the red liquid spew out of the poor punk. "I want it to suffer... More... But I don't have the energy to do it and I don't want to creep you out." He said in bored; yet tire sum way.

[Chickey 383]

Hypno looked back and shrugged. "I warned them and they still ran off. It's rather dangerous to have such self destructive ponies with our group don't you agree?" He asked. "By themselves in this forest they'll go insane, like me." He thought. "Sooner or later we will sadly run into them." He added as he examined the room.

"Well... I haven't been following many of the ponies. I've just been outside, here..."

"Waiting for you..."

"A few have gone into the temple, except Scout, and that pony with weird eyes. That's all I really know right now... Sorry that I can't help further..."

He looked down at his hooves.

[Octavia's Bow 2,035]

(Sorry Hypno, I was unavailable)

 

Scout gathered his spider and walked away while Hypno was distracted. He walked over to a wall in the room and took a glowing substance and drew a S near the floor. It glew a green color, and, satisfied, he went to follow the group better.

@,

"How can you even think of leaving ponies to whatever fate finds them like that? I'll be one of the first ponies to admit that they are acting stupidly, but just because a pony is stupid doesn't mean you leave them behind in a dangerous forest. We have to try and find them, hopefully sooner before they run into something dangerous later." Honey Seed said. 

[Octavia's Bow 2,035]

"By going after them you ask their fate upon yourself," Scout says, coming up beside Hypno, "We live in this forest, have allowed it to touch our lives and change us. It is not a inherently bad thing. But it changes a pony. By asking to search for them, you ask for potential danger, in exchange for a sense of personal morals and a small chance of success. There's always a possibility they will find us," he adds. Of course, the whole speech was mumbled with him looking at the ground with his ears back. Not exactly the most confident advocate.

"But.. Why?" she looked at Featherstone with a slightly confused and adorable look, her mind completely blank with huge puppy eyes waiting for an answer.

"But why what?"

Then he looked back at her. He blinked, and blushed very deeply. He thought that she looked extremely cute. All he wanted to do was reach out and hug her tightly.
