The Elusive Cinder 1,328 July 19, 2013 Share July 19, 2013 As silver plunged into the pit, Cinder gasped. Redwave settled for thumping his head against a nearby tree. "You would last all of ten seconds at sea..." He muttered under his breath before turning to his remaining companions. "If one of you ladies would be so kind as to assist them, I can hold the vine from this side. If we take it one at a time, we can rescue them each in turn."

LittleRawr 679 July 19, 2013 Author Share July 19, 2013 Silver found himself plummeting downwards, he flapped his wings but found he'd lost all flight ability. He landed in the ditch with a crunch and a splatter of mud. Lyona groaned, facehooving hard. -This is all going to be much harder now... It's going to take some time to drag three grown ponies out of a ditch.- "If one of you ladies would be so kind as to assist them, I can hold the vine from this side. If we take it one at a time, we can rescue them each in turn." She gave a part of the rope to Redwave, and gripped her own part of the rope firmly. " Minty's already attached. Let's pull!"

Mikestar 346 July 19, 2013 Share July 19, 2013 (edited) Silver picked himself up trying to ignore the pain in every limb... heck everypony else is so why not! he thought grumpily. Bunch of losers. Glaring up at Redwave he retorted. "You wouldn't last ten second in the air... BUDDY!" he spat the last word out angrily. Silver flapped his wings, which hurt, but he was determined to anyway however he could get no lift. "Dang it why could I fly at first and not now?" Silver was getting angrier and angrier. "Just pull the damn rope" he yelled up at Redwave. "Can't you at least do one thing right!" Exasperated, Silver turned to Minty and said "Why'd you have to go and fall in here for? STOP running off all the time" He stuck his nose under Minty and roughly pushed her part way up the slope, hoping the others would drag her the rest of the way and get her out of his way! "What are you looking at" Silver snapped at Impetus. Then a thought occured to him. "Somethings not right here... I'm not like this! Where has my encouragement gifting gone? What has this potion done to me?" ((OOC so a little drama with Silver in reverse mode. Probably similar to what everypony else experienced when they went grey.))

Red grunted through the rope in his mouth as he helped lift Minty up out of the pit, gradually getting more frustrated with the pegasus' sudden change of personality.

Maybe it's your FRIEND Zecora and her poisons... I knew I shouldn't have trusted a mare like YOU. You can't even mix up a simple potion with out it exploding in your in competent face" Ouch.. that one hurt Silver worst of all, yet he couldn't stop himself.How long would this last and would anypony understand after it had worn off.

The Elusive Cinder 1,328 July 19, 2013 Share July 19, 2013 (edited) Cinder should have been hurt, any other time she would have been, but something about her newfound confidence suppressed it. 'You see? Abandoned, just like I said. You don't need anypony else!' She shuddered. "What...?" The brown mare blinked, looking around. "What did you just...? You know what? Just stay down there, I don't need you. We don't need you. Just sit there in your precious little world of hate you spiteful foal!" She blinked a tear out of her eye as she grabbed the vine that Red was pulling and threw her weight behind it, pulling Minty a significant way and almost knocking the captain to the ground. -------------------- Edited July 19, 2013 by Cinderscribe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
