private Adventure to Atlantis

[Milk Wave 454]

@, 

 

"Well, clearly somepony here thinks i'm a lot stronger than I look..." she dropped a pale on the ground at the side of the lake, taking the other in her mouth and dipping it into the water. "He wash, shupposhed to be hewping me wif the water..." she dumped the now full pale by her side. She then froze the water and lifted it out of the pale in a huge chunk of ice, and began melting it slowly back into the pale, dropping anything that wasn't water on the ground "but I can't carry both of these back myself - heck, I can barely lift this one. Wouldn't mind lending a hoof would you?"

(( OOC- Yup, last post for this weekend ))

 

"Of course not."

So Moon quickly shook herself dry and flew back over the lake. She grabbed the nearest full water bucket and carried it back to the other ponies, setting it down near the other supplies but steered away from the others after doing so. Because she did it in such a short time, there wasn't a chance to notice 3 ponies near where she was. So Moon went ahead and walked back over to Frozen. "Any more buckets we need?"

"Not really, I think we're good" she finished cleaning the ice and pouring it into the bucket before leaning down to pick it up "Thanks, i'm sure we'll need more before we leave, but for now I think we're good." Frostbite picked up the bucket in her mouth, struggling to lift it too high, but eventually she got it up and walked back to camp, dropping it at the side of the other. 

 

"We got water." she shouted over to Iron who was tending to Ocean, with Steel nearby. ...with Steel nearby.

Her eye twitched a little and she dug her hooves into the floor as she glared across at him.

Feather stood to the side and watched as Iron Hoof and the others tended to Ocean Wind, feeling a little awkward...and useless.

 

"Well," she mumbled to no one in particular. "I ah...I can see you guys have got it all under control here, so..." she shuffled her hooves. "I'm just going to go set up a tent or something." 

 

Feather quietly wandered over to the wider space, where most of the crew were setting up their tents. She sat down and began searching through her saddle bags, then groaned loudly as she realised she had left her tent and roll on the submarine.

Frostbite was still glaring at Steel, running several thoughts through her head when she saw Feather standing around awkwardly, and then begin to walk away. She didn't think anything of it, until she seemed like she couldn't find something in her bags. Putting 2 and 2 together, Frostbite walked up behind Feather - more to take her mind from making a snowpony out of Steel than anything. "You too huh?" she asked from a few feet away.

After he had walked away, Dox had ended up going over to a truck and grabbing his tent. He found an unused piece of floor and began to set it up so that it was facing the lake. After a while, he finally got the damned thing up, so he went inside, rolling out his sleeping bag.

After a couple minutes, Iron Hoof had Ocean all patched up. He wrapped some bandages around her middle before he lay her down on a roll up mattress, just as she started coming too.

 

Iron Hoof walked off to start inspecting the road ahead as Ocean groaned and put a hoof to her forehead. At first she looked rather confused before her eyes widened and she spoke. "I...I saw them..." She said, looking over at the water.

Feather jumped at the voice behind her. Embarrassed she turned around to face Frost Bite. 

 

"Hm?" Feather stared blankly at the unicorn - it her a moment to click. "Oh, you don't have a tent either?" She felt sorry for Frost Bite, but deep down a selfish part of her was just glad she wasn't the only one.

 

"Maybe you could make us an igloo." Feather joked, then cringed. Please find that funny - please don't get angry and freeze my wings off...

"Have you any idea how much energy that would take? Not to mention all the water it would take to compress the ice enough to stay put!" she replied with narrow eyes, holding a stare for a second before bursting out laughing. "It's a good idea, but I don't think it's practical." she shook her head as she finished her sentence. "I don't think you'd be wanting to bunk with me anyway, I tend to like things...cold."

[Count Paradox 3,548]

Dox, who had finished setting up his sleeping area, left the tent and ventured towards the center of the camp, where a fire was made. 'Well, might as well make dinner for everypony.' He thought as he trekked back to the trucks for foodstuffs. He pulled out a few cans of beans and some boxes of mac and cheese. 'Perfect...'

Feather chuckled herself, relieved that Frost Bite wasn't really insulted. "You like it cold? Really?  I'd never have guessed."  She couldn't help wondering if there was something more behind Frost Bite's words. Feather glanced around the cave, spotting a camp fire flickering, and was immediately drawn to the warmth it radiated.

 

"I could use a little heat myself." She told Frost Bite. Feather recognised the silhouette of a certain black and white unicorn stallion by the fire. "Besides," she added. "It looks like Dox is rustling up some food!" A subconscious smile flickered across her face.

"Darn, I hate conflict..." she sighed, letting out a loose chuckle that almost sounded forced. "Cold...or food. Gotta pick one I guess." Her stomach rumbled as she spoke and she looked down, her cheeks turning a very pale shade of pink "heh...guess the decision makes itself huh?" 

 

She turned to the fire and took a deep breath, she was about to start walking when she noticed Ocean, Steel and Iron Hoof where in between her and it. "Second thoughts..."

[Count Paradox 3,548]

Dox had grabbed some pots, dumping the beans into one of them while putting water in the other, and placed them over the fire. He looked up and noticed Feather and that one ice mare walking over to him. He smiled and waved them over, shouting, "C'mon, food's being cooked!" He grinned.

Feather grinned back at Paradox. "Great, I'm starving!" She increased her pace, only to stop at the sound of a mutter behind her.

 

"Frost Bite?" Feather turned to see the unicorn mare staring at the ponies still gathered around Ocean Wind. " Are you alright there? "

"Hmm? Oh...yeah i'm...i'm fine" she replied before she started walking again, taking a wide berth around the group of ponies and catching up to Feather. "You hungry I take it?" she asked with a giggle "You seem eager to get over there" she looked up at Paradox by the fire, and then back at Feather "Or...maybe it's something else you want to get there for?" she joked as she nudged Feather with her hoof.

Steel leaned in so she wouldn't have to speak loud and strain herself. "By 'them' you . . . . do you mean?" He left the thought hanging. The idea that the lost civilization was still peopled. Possible, but near miraculous. How could they have survived or all these centuries? Also Steel was thankful she apparently wasn't cognizant of the peck on her cheek.

The food was coming along nicely, the beans simmering and the macaroni noodles almost totally softened. He looked up to see the mares approaching. "Hey, girls. Hope you're hungry." He took the noodled and drained them, adding milk, butter, and three extra packets of powdered cheese mix.

"W-what?" Feather ground to a halt, shaking her head at Frost Bite. "I have no idea what you mean." She could feel the heat in her cheeks giving her away. Feather sighed, but couldn't help a sheepish smile. "Alright, maybe..."

 

Paradox's words distracted her, and Feather was relieved by the change of subject. " I could eat a horse!" She joked, then winced. Maybe that as a little too morbid given the day's events.

Dox internally facehoofed, but smiled at her nonetheless. "Well, I'm glad, because we have pleanty of food to go around. Would you like beans or macaroni and cheese?" He motioned over to the post that were sitting on a makeshift table of a board and two stones.

"Oh wow, really? I was only joking but..." she replied, a little shocked at the sudden confession. When Paradox called over to them and Feather remarked about how hungry she was, Frostbite couldn't help but think; "I worry it might just come to that..." she mumbled to herself as they approached the food station. 

 

"I'll admit, for once i'm actually looking forward to having something cooked for me for a change. So used to doing it myself, but i'm too hungry to think about that right now." She sat down, a way away from the fire, but due to the nature of her normal surroundings, it was still incredibly hot, almost unbearable for her, but the allure of the food was too good to miss out on. 

 

"Couldn't pass some food could you? I dont want to get too close..." she gestured to the fire with her hoof before looking back at Paradox. "It's already warm enough here"

Giant joined the ring around the campfire, easily keeping everypony in view while pulling out his mess kit and passing the pan over to Paradox for some food. Some grub sounded excellent. Lunch tended to improve everypony's mood.

 

He noticed Ocean being brought back, under Steel's treatment. It didn't seem possible, but then, when you were water...what water did you have to be afraid of? Giant shuddered and got back to eating. Steel would be okay; Ocean looked to hurt to cause any trouble. He just didn't want to deal with that whole tangle of feelings right now.

Ocean nodded and tried to sit up, but she fell back with a gasp. "Ah, buck. Yes. They...used a crystal or something to make me normal again. But...from the looks of my blood, it wasn't permanent." She said, glancing at the few drop's of bluish blood all over the ground.

 

Iron Hoof grabbed some food then walked a little way's away from the group with a couple other crew members.

Moon this time, decided to stay away from the food. What was on her mind was only Ocean. And It began to start bugging her on how she was even alive.

Though when she thought about it, Ocean did let out some words that mentioned about other life forms being here. But she wasn't too concerned about that at the moment. It just kept messing with Moon that Ocean would be back like that, for she knew that no pony could of survived a deathly river like that.

In her conclusion, she was just happy that the pony was there and still kicking. Thinking only to herself what could of really happened if they found out Ocean was gone. But, even that wasn't enough to make her stay so instead she quietly slipped behind one of the farther trucks.

 

I guess I would now know that our leader would be one hell of a pony..

 "I'll get you something to eat." Steel got up, grabbed a small tray, and brought it back to her bedside. "Did they say anything? Anything you could understand anyway? I guess they wouldn't speak our tongue." Steel asked as he gently brushed one of her wounds with his wing. Barely touching, just enough to convey comfort.

Ocean took the food and quickly began to eat, she hadn't noticed how hungry she was. "Their lanfuage *Gulp* Their language sounded like Latin...but I was too tired to understand what they were saying. They also spoke it a little differently...they pronounced things differently...much differently." She said, taking a few more bites of her food when she finished. The food was gross...she had to admit...but she was too hungry to care.

"If you saw them just here, then we can't be that far away from Atlantis itself." Steel deduced. "If they didn't kill you, even helped you, that would seem to suggest that they would at least be welcome to visitors. Should we tell the Captain?" Steel asked.
