open Happenings in the Everfree RP

" Come on! Can you do it or not? We haven't got much time. The fog's going to kill us all, soon enough." Lyona coughed onto her hoof. " I don't think I can last much longer!"

 

Lyona was feeling absolutely horrible. It felt almost as if she was dying from the inside out. She coughed again. Her eyes were turning red and tearing up from the fog.

[The Elusive Cinder 1,328]

"Get him on, quickly." Cinders voice cracked as she dropped to the ground beside the crippled pony. "Then see if you can get above the fog or something, you cant keep breathing it!"

 

'Acid, acid, how do you deal with acid? Of course, you mix it with Alkaline, but how the BUCK do you fill a forest with Alkaline? Where did it come from? It's not POSSIBLE!' Her mind's babbling raced through her head uselessly - too panicked to focus properly on trying to find a viable solution.

[Mikestar 346]

"Don't panic" Silver said, obviously in a panic " I can still fly, wings are a bit tired but heck this fog is motivation. If we all stick together we can find our way through this.... If Everypony just hangs on to everypony else... Can you see that compass thingie of yours?"

 

"Dang it Night Dart" Silver gave him a shove. "MOVE" Background ponies he pondered to himself in a disgruntled thought. Never alert when you need them.

 

Then Silver Note had an idea!

 

He pulled out his flute and at great peril to himself as he might inhale the fog... he played a nightingale's call on it

 

*Twitter twitter twitter* (OOC- No facebook or My space sorry)

 

the call was immediately answered by a bird to the far north.

 

"That way!" Silver Note said triumphantly. "The Birds will lead us out. Follow the bird calls."

 

Silver Note played another tune on his flute and was answered by another bird call.

[LittleRawr 679]

The birds that Silver called seemed strange. They had jet black feather and beady reddish eyes, and their call seemed distorted and off-key.

 

Lyona quickly placed Silver on Cinder's back. " I'm staying with you guys. I need to help you navigate." The pegasus was determined. A little blood trickled out of her mouth.

 

" Cinder, calm down. We will be fine. I see a way out. We will get through this. Now, follow me."

 

Lyona flew a little infront of Cinder, as far as she could but still see her. She could see where the fog thinned a bit. -That must be our way out. I don't trust those birds...- She took another glance at them, and shivered.

[The Elusive Cinder 1,328]

"Just go!" Cinder finally reached breaking point, pushing her leader forward as she seemed to falter. "Now! I'm not carrying you both out of here!"

 

She charged forward, staring out through the aqua lenses: perhaps it was wishful thinking but the thick fog seemed to be thinning slightly and she could actually see ahead of herself.

[Mikestar 346]

With out question Silver Note followed orders fluttering after Lyona just above the ground so as not to lose sight of her, the thunder of hooves filled the air as the ponies galloped forward below his hovering body. He was so thankful for Lyona's leadership as in his panicked state he hadn't even noticed that the birds were off key.. the ear plugs hadn't helped either as they were magic and gave you selective hearing. As a matter of fact he'd been off key too! Hmmm, these ear plugs might come in handy next time he had to sing something......

[LittleRawr 679]

" No! I'm fine!" Lyona insisted. " Hurry up! I think I see a clearing up ahead!" The pegasus coughed onto her hoof, and then looked at it in horror. Specks of blood littered the fur of her hoof.

" Come on! Keep on moving! We're so close..." She continued flapping her wings, putting her hoof away. She occasionally corrected Cinder's course. The skin under her coat was slowly turning into a bright pink.

[Mikestar 346]

"Water, we need water... the river.... " Silver felt like his feathers were burning off. He really didn't know much about chemistry. His thoughts raced. If he lost air speed he would be in trouble since he couldn't walk, trot OR canter with his hurt leg. "Common" he said, encouraging the background ponies as best he could. "Everypony hoof it.. this way! No you're going the wrong way, change course, there you go. Hurry forward.... follow Lyona. Stop dawdling Minty I know it's a pretty bunny but this is an emergency."

 

He flew back and forth across them, guiding the way, he even stopped to give Impetus a shove with his left wing when he almost steered off course, then swooped down to make sure Fireblaze and Minty were still heading the right direction. 

 

Silver soared over Lyona and noticed her bleeding. "I've got an idea" he thought, and spoke out loud at the same time.

 

"Cinder throw some of that alcaline stuff at her" he yelled from above, "Try to neutralize the effects she seems to be getting the worst of it for some reason... it's like this stuff knows she's the leader.... "

[LittleRawr 679]

Lyona coughed again. Some more blood hit the forest floor. 

 

"The fog's thinning out! We're almost there!" She gasped. Just ten meters ahead of them was a fog-less clearing. She flapped her wings as hard as she could, but she felt herself getting weaker.

 

-I can make it. I will make it!- She beat her wings again, harder this time. She looked behind her shoulder. " I can see the clearing! Follow me!" She called.

[Mikestar 346]

Silver Note noticed that Lyona was having trouble and swooped in beside her, putting one of his fore hooves over her back to support her helped wing her forward towards the clearing. "I hope she doesn't pass out" he thought.

 

"Gah my throat is on fire...." He gasped. The words came out in a croaky screech.

[The Elusive Cinder 1,328]

"I don't... I don't know what's what!" Cinder yelped in response to Silvers order - in the heat of the situation she could have grabbed anything, most of the bottles would just have made things worse.

 

She felt completely useless, and that only muddled her even further. The burning was starting to really get to her too - even accounting for the goggles and improvised mask.

 

All of the bottles looked the same, the colours meant nothing to her any more. Static filled her ears and drown out even her minds voice: all that she could hear was the thundering of her own hooves pounding through her body.

[LittleRawr 679]

" Don't help me. Help Cinder! I'll help everypony else!" Lyona flew away from Silver and back to the fog, determination in her eyes. She quickly helped escort the other ponies to the clearing, nudging them along the right path at times. She coughed again, feeling as if somepony was pouring lava down her throat. 

[Mikestar 346]

" Don't help me. Help Cinder! I'll help everypony else!" Lyona flew away from Silver and back to the fog, determination in her eyes. She quickly helped escort the other ponies to the clearing, nudging them along the right path at times. She coughed again, feeling as if somepony was pouring lava down her throat. 

 

'What do you think I've been doing all this time!" He shouted, a bit more angrily than he intended. 

 

"Are we there yet?" he asked, coughing and spluttering. He was thinking this was the longest flight he'd ever made in his life! At that moment he felt his third flight feather sizzle off and disintegrate, causing him to crash to the ground in an awkward spiral.

 

*BOOM!* Feathers flew in all direction and dust surrounded him. He felt lost... lost in the fog with the thundering of hooves all around him. A very dangerous position to be in with a whole lot of ponies stampeding in a mad charge around him.

 

"Buck it all!" He cursed which was so unlike him.

 

((OOC I Hope we make it to safety soon as I'm falling asleep here! LOL It's late here in australia! One more post and I'll hafta go or I really will go BOOM!)

[LittleRawr 679]

Lyona had escorted everypony else to safety. She did a quick head count.

-No! Cinder and Silver are not here! I have to go back...- Lyona took a deep breath, fearing it would be her last, and dove back into the fog.

 

She saw Cinder, still standing there. " C'mon! Cinder, go! " She pushed her to the direction of the clearing. " You're almost there! Just a few more hoofsteps. Don't give up now!"

 

The pony then frantically looked around for Silver. -Where is that pony?- She saw a glint of gold on the ground near her. Eyes lighting up with hope, she quickly flew to him. 

 

" Hold on! I'm going to drag you!" Lyona grabbed him and dragged him as fast as she could to the clearing.

[The Elusive Cinder 1,328]

Cinder didn't even think.

 

Running on autopilot, she charged the pair and hooked her neck under the Pegasus, pushing from behind, half carrying him as Lyona dragged from the lead.

 

"Keep. Moving." She grunted, exhausted from running. "MOVE YOUR FLANK SILVER!"

[Mikestar 346]

Silver Note felt quite surprised to feel Lyona dragging him along by the crest of his mane., and Cinder right up his cutie mark!

 

No time to blush.... he tried flapping his wings to help them, then realized he was FAR to heavy for the mares, 

 

"WAIT!" he yelled, then quickly removed his armor and tossed it to the side. That would reduce weight. he also tossed out half the contents of his saddle bag... Hoof black, after clip spray, extra tent pegs.. Oh there they were! body brush, curry comb, hoof pick, spare hoof boots, mane and tail comb... leg bandages, the Royal guard newsletter which he couldn't read anyway, his pjama's and his favorite pocket handerkerchief. 

 

'Ok go," he said.  "There is no way I'm leaving my musical instruments behind he thought to himself.

 

((OOC Gah so many typos I'm half aslee.......................ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZzzzzz))))

[LittleRawr 679]

Lyona sighed in relief as the weight was lessened considerably. 

 

" Cinder! Just a little bit more!"

 

They were practically at the clearing now. The fog got thicker, as if it was trying to bar them from going out. Lyona fought through it.

 

" We're here! Finally!" They burst out of the clingy fog. Lyona carefully put Silver down then flopped onto the warm sand, blood trickling out of her mouth and breathing heavily. She coughed again.

[Mikestar 346]

Silver Note collapsed beside Lyona, exhausted and breathing heavily.... he tried to maintain his consciousness but suddenly everything just went black as he passed out in a crumpled heap beside her.

 

((OOC- and on that note, his player is going to pass out in a crumpled heap as well. Night! I feel sorry for the background ponies who have to catch up with all this action! See yaz in the morning.)

[LittleRawr 679]

Lyona facehoofed. " Damn it, Silver."

She lay there, not able to move without feeling terrible pain. She lay on her stomach, coughing weakly. Her coughs slowly stained the sand infront of her a bright red. She slowly started reaching into her saddlebags for water.

 

(Night!)

[Ihei 711]

(( What the buck.. Do you guys even SLEEP!??! ))

 

As Mintatheena was trotting along, she noticed the others in horrid condition. (( Hehe, she wasnt in bad condition since she kind of got used to not breathing so nopony would notice her. )) She pulled the others near a lake, and found a tree. She tended to Lyona's bloody coughs with a herb that she puts on her neck;, and put a open water bottle in her muzzle. She. Didn't notice anypony else hurt, so she sat on a tree stump on guard for anything dangerous.

[The Elusive Cinder 1,328]

Cinder blinked, not really seeing what was unfolding as her mind caught up with the situation.

 

They were safe: no thanks to her. The one thing that she should have been able to help with and she had frozen. The one thing that she should have been able to answer and she had failed.

 

She blinked again. 

 

They were in a clearing somewhere. Silver was on the ground Lyona was... was...

 

Minty was there, with her, doing... something.

 

She blinked again, shaking her head as function returned to her mind.

 

((Big edit, I didn't get Minty's message until AFTER I wrote mine ))

@, 

(I'm in a completely different time zone that you, then. It was daytime for me when you were sleeping xD)

 

"Thanks." Croaked out Lyona. Her coughing lessened, and she felt slightly better.

" How are you holding up? Any wounds yourself?" Lyona's voice was quite scratchy, as if she had swallowed sand and grit. -Feels like it too.- She winced a little.

Mintatheena looked up with a surprised look to see Cinder awake. She backed up, accidentally into the fog. Mintatheena tried not to panic as she tried to go back the direction she came from. The fog diminished to a darker color. 'Dont panic.. We can find our way out..' Mintatheena thought to herself.

@,

 

"Minty! This way!" Lyona called out. She would stand up and find her herself but she was in too much pain. She tried to still, but just fell back onto the sand.

" Just follow my voice! You'll be fine! Don't panic, okay?" Every time Lyona said something, another hot splash of pain graced her throat.

"I can't..! Just go on with me! I'll find my way out." Mintatheena said, trotting around the fog, encasing her and refusing to let her escape. She started to see wisps of smoke and voices whisper in the wind. She was nearly blind from smoke. She started to choke as she ran around frantically, the fog expanding.
