open As told by me,

[MisterRe 21]

You enter a world unknown. A world devoid of color besides your own. No shadows, only white darkness. You are alone. No-one accompanies you. In a sense, you know that you're alive, not dead. Will it stay that way? It is determined based on the future actions. The journey ahead is treacherous, calm, deceiving and ever-chaotic. You start with nothing but your free will and determination. What will happen next.

 

I decide.

Tarots head pounded. her eyes fluttered open, though she was unsure she was awake. "h-hello?" She called out, pulling herself to her hooves. Her breath quickened. "Is anypony there?" she called out, panic in her voice. She looked around, desperately trying to see something besides the milky whiteness that surrounded her. "can someone please tell me where I am!" she said, pacing around, her eyes darting around. She was beginning to lose her sense of direction. Was she in the same place she started in? had she moved anywhere? the milky whiteness remained unchanged.

Was she in the same place she started in? had she moved anywhere? the milky whiteness remained unchanged.

Just as the insanity started, it stopped. The old world began to diminish, giving in to the new color. It was  special, a sort of gold with a sort of sepia. With this, The void was no longer endless but limited to a simple but fine establishment.

 

An antique shop.Each commodity was sold for a price. Glass Cupcakes 56 bits, figurines 70 bits for two, A miniature pony 500 bits.

 

The dust smell and the sheen of the glass counter she found herself in, miniaturized as small as a cupcake. 

 

She was trapped in glass display. She saw others in her predicament as well. But they were dressed up and smiling. What was this place?

[NocturnalRainbow 248]

Nocturne stirred from his deep slumber, slowly climbing to his hooves.

 

"Hello? Hello?!" Nocturne shouted into the void that surrounded him

 

No one answered, Nocturne tried again and again until his voice grew scratchy and rough.

 

"Help... help me... *cough*"

 

Nocturne shivered, for in the void of white it was very cold. A cold void, with nopony, not a single pony...

[TheLineTrotter 100]

Vincent groaned as he laid on the ground, not wanting to move. It hurt... it hurt.... everything hurt... his bones felt like somebody had taken a hammer to his joints, his head felt like there as an angry porcupine stabbing his skull from the inside... he tried to open his eyes, but they felt so heavy... he wanted to lay there forever, and just wait for the pain to fade. He found he couldn`t do that ethier...the longer he laid there, the more the pain seemed to amplify. He slowly forced his eyes open....

 

White.

 

White... straight above.... white... strait  below... white... all around. All he could see was white. He slowly forced himself up onto his talons and paws, looking around. "What in the fuck...." he mumbled, turning his head in all directions. Desperately looking for anything but this strange whiteness. "Hey! Where the hell am I!? Hello?" he cried, desperatly hoping for some sound... this place was utterly silent.... his voice seemed to echo across the emptiness. Unable to see an end to the whiteness, but refuseing to stay in one spot.... Vincent began walking.

[Grand_Finale 529]

Tarot watched as the white dissolved and the store formed with wide eyes. "What is this? Get me out of here!" she yelled, slamming against the glass. She looked to the right of her, and ponies were in glass, smiling and perfectly still. SHe looked closer. She couldnt tell if the ponies were real or not. She didnt want to know. "Get me OUT" she screamed, slamming her hooves into the glass repeatedly, determined to escape whatever she was in

The griffin walked on. And on and on... and no-one still.  There was a small spec on the side, it was a tiny far away object which lacked detail. A blur of image it was in perspective . Vincent deduced. He started to walk forward in relation to the object.

 

What seemed like hours, Vincent walked toward this object. Distance never changed between the two, he did not know this but kept on. And on, and on...

 

---

 

The cold white kept its temperature, he was freezing. Nocturne was on the verge of frostbite or what he thought was hypothermia. It was more of illusion placed facilitated by the paranoia. This is place is neither cold nor hot, neithing nothing or everything.

 

 

----

In a blink, Two lost individuals met. They saw each other face to face.  A pony and a griffin.

[NocturnalRainbow 248]

Nocturne shivered as he walked through the never-ending emptiness. Maybe he should have stayed where he began, and waited for help. But Nocturne was a stubborn pony, and waiting was not something he was good at so he instead walked, and walked, and walked some more, and now he was going to die in the cold. Until, in a split second, he was face to face with another pony, actually... a griffon. The chills disappeared and he immediately began to speak. 

 

"Who the buck are you, and where the buck are we?"

[Grand_Finale 529]

Tarot had been hitting the glass for what felt like hours with no progress. "Please, can somepony tell me whats going on" she called out, exhausted from trying to break out of the glass. She looked at the ponies next to her. They hadnt moved since she had arrived in this... place. She hoped the ponies were mannequins, because they certainly werent living ponies. "I just wanna know whats goin on" she said before curling up in a ball and staring up at the ceiling of her glass prison

@@NocturnalRainbow, 

 

The spec on the horizion was the only thing he`d spotted since he`d arrived. He quickly began flying towards the object, as fast as he could, his powerful wings and great endurance allowing him a long period of flight. He`d assumed that at most, it would take him 10 minutes to reach the spec. He could fly for hours, if he paced himself. Yet, soon, he could fly no more, his tired body refuseing to flap his wings anymore. He then began to run, the spec seeming just as small as before... was it smaller? It couldn`t be smaller! He tried calling to it as he ran, unsure if he could even be heard by it. He couldn`t run anymore, so he walked. Soon, all he could do was crawl... the the spec seemed no larger. 

 

In a blink of an eye, there was a pony before him. Had Vincent had the strength, he would have tackled the pony and demanded to know what was going on. As it was, all he could do was lay there and pant, slowly forcing himself onto his feet."I`m... I`m Vincent... Vincent... Stormwalker..." he said between tired breaths. "As for... where we are... I... I dunno... last thing I remember was..." suddenly, he felt like his head had exploded, grasping the side of his skull with a talon. It hurt... it hurt to try and remember what he`d been doing before this place... all he could remember was the flapping of wings. "I... I was.... flying.... and.... and that`s all I remember..." He looked the stallion before him over "And... and who are you?" he said, continueing his heavy breathing,

A large figure approached the display case. It was as if some pony blocked the sun in Tarot's perspective.  A deafening voice came from this brutish figure of awe.

 

" Hello? Hello?" There was a ringer on top of the display which was promptly rung, adding to the echoing within the glass case. 

 

Another figure approached, adding to the shadows above her. 

 

"You're here for my ponies right?" The female voice blared.

 

"Why yes I am. I might need to inspect the two of them though."

 

In a summoning motion, Tarot's whole prison was lifted as well as another. Now she upon display to two wide eyed pony giants.

 

"It seems this one manifested life before hand. Interesting."

Tarot covered her ears, but watched with scared eyes as the enormous figure loomed over top of her. Perhaps the glass case wasnt so bad. The entire floor seemed to vibrate. The large figure seemed to take no notice of her as she cowered. Should she say something? she stood up and looked at the figure, hoping it would do something to help her, but fear wouldnt let her speak

[The Blades Shadow 445]

Pacific woke up in a completely white void. "Well... I've been in weirder places before I guess..." He said jokingly to himself. "Now seriously... Where am I exactly?" He wondered out loud. He walked around a bit, but couldn't find anything, just more whiteness. "Okay... Now I'm starting to get weirded out..." He said to himself.

"I'm Nocturne, just Nocturne"

 

Nocturne glanced around, looking for anything else but all he was met with was a face full of void.

 

"What do you think we should do? We can't just stay here forever. Maybe we should try to find something before we collapse on the ground from exhaustion."

 

Nocturne started trotting off in some random direction and motioned for Vincent to follow.

Vincent nodded. He would have said nice to meet ya to him, but it really wasn`t, given the circumstances. As the stallion stated that they should go, before they collapsed, he forced a smirk. "Speak for yourself... I almost already have..." he was considering waiting here... this all had to be a dream, right? An empty, white space like this couldn`t really exist... it was so quiet... that was what terrified him the most. The silence... every sound that was made seemed to echo across the entire vastness... and it terrified him.

 

Still, he didn`t want to sit around,and having found someone else... well, it was better than being alone. So, he decided to follow Nocturne. "Never met a pony with only one name before. You guys always have wierd names, like 'Shining Emblem, or Endless Sky, or Carwash Rugmuncher." he said, mostly forceing a conversation. He couldn`t bear the silence after so long, having felt like he`d been in this place for hours, so he felt the need to make abit of conversation, dispite the circumstance.

Stardust opened her eyes, and the irises shrank to the white around her. She closed her eyes again, too much white. Way too much, too much light. She opened her eyes slowly again. They became used to the whiteness around her, but her mind didn't get used to it. It hated the light, that was why she lived in the dark. To get away from this.

Stardust got up from the floor and looked around the place, but only white around. She looked at the floor, and she could barely see her own fur. She was not happy about this, where was she? How in the world did she get here? And what is this place? 

She looked around, it was an endless void. Just like her calming state of the dark.

SHe looked around again, she could not see anypony else and she wanted answers. So she yelled.

"Hello, Anyone home?"

As the colt ashed his question, Vincent gave a shrug "Not really all that much to know. We`re half lion, half eagle... we don`t like going to pony lands much, since you guys always give us crap about eating meat." Griffons were most carnivorous, being half eagle half lion, something most ponies didn`t approve of. During the early years, when Griffins first found equestria (already inhabited by the three kingdoms), that had been the first sign of bad blood... when the Griffon ambassador spotted a passing dear, tackled it and ripped it`s throat out. And then proceeded to offer some to the ponies. Not the best first impression. 

 

Luckily, since those thousands of years before, a synthetic meat had been made, and although many Griffins flat out refused to eat 'false meat', Vincent didn`t mind it that much, and did understand why Ponies were... uncomfortable about it. "Besides that, it`s basically what you`d expect... some of us are kinda arrogant, but the same could be said about ponies."

Tarot watched the figure intently, sure the figure didnt see her. she walked over to the glass and took a closer look at the shop. No other ponies seemed to be in her situation, or moving at all really. She saw glass figurines and little trinkets. The glass still continued to vibrate with the ringing of the phone, but she had grown adjusted to it. How long had she been here anyway? her perception of time was really messed up

"Another one, How special." The customer assumed. 

 

" That my friend is a bad thing. They are en-tuned with the environment placed upon them. They should have been wrapped up by now  and sent into the doll house already." She packed both the small ponies. and whispered "get them to drink this. It will fix everythin"

Smoke was everywhere, the sounds of war barred the conversation. Explosions are heard and the ground shook. They were in the middle of a war zone...
