open Mystery of Buckbury Hall (SoL / Mystery / Romance / Other)

@,

 

"Not a word. Promised Scribe with a slight smile. "Just warn me or something before you go running away with my hoof again."

 

He looked at the mare.

 

'Well if she's crazy at least she's nice about it.' He thought. 'Kind of cute too... wait, what? You just met her! And since when do you use the word 'cute' anyway?'

 

Realising that he had simply been standing motionless again, he trotted quickly after her.

 

Just to make sure she didn't get into any trouble, of course.

"Heh, no blasting necessary Solar. We'll just leave them alone - there's plenty to explore still." Wish said with mock alarm.

 

@@MisterRe,

 

She winced slightly at the yelling.

 

"Uh, Hey there... strange, shouting pony!" She said warily in response.

@, 

 

"Okay, good. I will remind you! I just got excited, that's all!" Storm hopped down the hall cheerfully, then greeted the mare that had spoken to her earlier, which she assumed was Scribe's sister. Storm trotted into a spooky dining room covered in cobwebs. She blew at a cobweb, then swiped at it. "Ooooooh! Scary!"

 

Storm quickly shook off the germs, and looked back behind her. Scribe didn't come yet. She looked back at the cobwebs, and sat down, waiting for somepony's arrival so she could point it out. She didn't seem to notice Scribe's stare earlier..

"Hello, How may I help you?" He asked while walking toward the group. " My name is Mr. Re"

 

From the distance of his voice, it sounded like Mystery. He was not this pony, nor will he ever be. It annoys him that others would call him disrespectfully like that. Mr. means grown up, the white snow colt thought.

Cherry walked into the front doors of Buckbury Hall, completely oblivious to what was going on inside, or even what might be going on outside. "Ooh! New place!" She trotted in happily. "Sorry I'm late!" She called out to nopony in particular. "What's going on?" She asked out loud.

@,

 

Quickly trotting after the marginally-less-hyper mare, Scribe slowed momentarily as he passed his sister, almost saying something to the guard making eyes at her but settling for a warning glare instead

 

He stuck his head into the grotty room.

 

"Huh. That's new. Or not, so to speak." He commented on the webs and general lack if cleaning or maintenance the room seemed to have received.

 

"Surely nopony eats in here... There's got to be another dining room somewhere or something.

Wish was briefly interrupted by Storm before Scribe passed in the same direction, looking thoroughly unimpressed about something or other: she would have to ask him about it later. Before she could say another word, an unfamiliar voice caught her ear.

 

"More guests? Huh." She said before raising her voice slightly. "Hey! Come in!" She called out.

Cherry immediately went over to where she heard somepony call out. "Hello! I'm Cherry Pie and I have no idea why I was invited here. Something about family...or something. I dunno!" She smiled widely at the strangers around her, more than the others though was the blue and white Earth Pony mare in front of her. "What's your name?" She asked excitedly.

[Ampharos 1,009]

@,

 

Blaze smiled at the new pony. "Um, hey there. Seems we're getting more of a party going on here. Uh, woohoo? My name's Blaze, it's nice to meet you Cherry Pie." Blaze knew the question had been directed at Wish, but he decided to introduce himself out of courtesy. 

[Fender 1,284]

@, 

 

It didn't take much to divert Cherry's attention to the other pony. The pegasus stallion was polite, so Cherry tried to match that, "Hello Blaze, I'm Cherry- again! You knew that!" She continued smile and grabbed the stallion's hoof, then shaking it. He was a nice stallion, and nice looking, and he had a nice scarf. "Nice to meet you!"

Frost poked his head out from behind Wish at the two ponies that had walked over to Introduce themselves. He didnt do well with a lot of ponies he didnt know, but this was a better time than never. "Umm...hi. My name is...Frost." he said in a soft tone to the ponies

(( OOC: Just a tip: Storm is claustrophobic. ))

 

"I hope not, either!" Storm said, reverting to her normal, bubbly self. "Let's go see the others!" Storm trotted back over to the hall, waving to the new ponies whose just joined. Suddenly, she began to feel nervous and looked around panicked, starting to sweat. "I, uh, I need a breath of fresh air." Storm excused herself and tried to open the front door, yet it won't budge.

Cherry again turned to the next new pony. This one seemed a bit more timid to her, but still nice. She greeted him how she thought would be right for her to. She took his hoof and shook it, "Hello Frost! I'm Cherry, you probably already heard that though. Oh well...well hello there!"

Scribe followed Storm over towards the door with a concerned expression on his face: it was closed.
 
"Uh... Who closed this? I couldn't even move it an inch earlier." He wondered out loud as he tried to push against it beside the mare. "What the...?"
 
'Crack!'
 
A thunderous snapping sound echoed across the room from the nearest window as the locks snapped into place of their own accord. Less than a second later the same happened to the next window along. All across the mansion that sound repeated, again and again like some monstrous storm of steel snapping into place.
 
Wish cowered slightly as the lights momentarily flickered before returning to normal. Just on a hunch, she looked at a nearby clock.
 
Seven 'o clock exactly.
 
"Scribe...?" She said uneasily, looking back at the Unicorn who was still straining against the door. 
 
Leaving the door, the Unicorn instead tried beating on a window with little more success: each strike simply resulting in a ripple of some kind of energy rather than actually doing damage.
 
"The hay?! Whats going on here?"

Frost lightened up a bit seeing how nice this mare was. He stepped out from behind Wish and walked up to Cherry and shook her hoof after hesitating a bit. "It's...it's nice to meet you Cherry." he said in a normal tone now, putting on a weak smile. "So...what do you think of the mansion?" he asked trying to make conversation.

[Ampharos 1,009]

Blaze immediately reached up towards his neck cloth, ready to grab whatever he needed if a problem arose. He knew he shouldn't have come here. This mansion was so big, and the owner was probably powerful. What if no one could stop him? Blaze started hyperventilating as he continued to think the about the worst possible situations, instead of thinking about rational and reasonable ones.If something were to happen, Blaze wouldn't be able to do anything. He wouldn't be able to save these ponies. He wouldn't be able to save himself. Blaze's legs gave out and he collapsed in a heap. He was still conscious, and was still hyperventilating.

Storm started to breathe heavily. She looked around quickly in a frightened manner, and trotted around the mansion, eyes wide. "W-we're trapped! We're going to die! In a small, confined.. SPACE!" Storm cried fearfully, looking around at all the closed windows and especially the closed door. Grabbing hold of Scribe's shoulders, Storm said, "IT'S HAUNTED!" 

[Drago Ryder 641]

Tempest simply facehoofed. "Why am I not surprised?" He thought. The cyan pegesus then glanced at Storm. "Nopony will die here. We just need to find a way out of here and not panic."

 

Ivy sighed as she walked through the mansion. She had gotten separated from the others and was now on the second floor.

[The Elusive Cinder 1,328]

"Hey, It's okay. I'll get us out." Scribe tried to reassure not only the mare, but his sister and the rest of the group too. '... somehow.'

 

Wandering over to the window, he tapped it again thoughtfully. When he was unable to think of any more scientifically founded tests he shrugged back on a strategy that tended to work surprisingly well: kicking it as hard as possible, jarring his leg but still achieving nothing in the way of escape. 

 

"Huh. We might need to find another way out."

Frost saw Scribe kick the window and winced at the sound. He raised his hoof when options for any other exit acess was brought up. "Umm...mabey there is roof acess or some sewers down in the basement." he said trying to be helpful, not knowing anything about this place made him a little more frightened.

Solar[/]

Solar's attention was caught be the new mare that had joined the group. He was looking her over from a distance. Before deciding to introduce himself.

 

"Hi there. I'm Solar Sentinel, but most ponies call me Solar. It's always nice to meet a pretty mare..." Solar face hoofed. "You..you'll have to excuse me...it's just that other than my mother and the princesses, I haven't been around many mares..."

 "The hay?! Whats going on here?"

"Don't worry everypony! I'll protect you!" As he went into a defensive possision. His wings fully extended.

[Fender 1,284]

Cherry completely ignored the loud sound, as if it was never there. It didn't scare her so easily, like it did some ponies.

 

 

 

"So...what do you think of the mansion?"

 

She simply looked around the room for a moment, her face flat, her smile returning when she made eye contact with Frost. "It's nice!"

 

 

 

"Hi there. I'm Solar Sentinel, but most ponies call me Solar. It's always nice to meet a pretty mare..." Solar face hoofed. "You..you'll have to excuse me...it's just that other than my mother and the princesses, I haven't been around many mares..."

 

 

Cherry bounced happily at being called 'pretty.' It wasn't something she often heard. "It's okay, I like it! You're pretty too!" She blurted out toward him, "Oh, and I'm Cherry Pie!"

[The Elusive Cinder 1,328]

@@Frosty V,
 
"I couldn't see any way through the locked doors: I bet the third floor is probably sealed off just as well since we weren't supposed to go there. Maybe theres a basement - I don't know." Wish shrugged. "Hold on, wheres Ivy?"
 
She glanced around nervously: not quite sure if she could trust any of the ponies around her. Scribe as will pacing, trying to think of a way out. Of course, if their fates balanced on Scribe thinking then they would be there forever.
 
She backed away from the group she had been speaking to and slowly started to wander down the hall on her own, thinking hard about what she knew about the mansion and their best chance of escape.

Blaze began to calm down slightly, picking himself off of the floor and looking at the ponies around him. His eyes were still full of panic, but he was trying his best to calm down. He didn't know any of these ponies and now he was trapped with all of them. He looked around and went over to Solar, who had now been accompanied by Cherry Pie. "What do you think that was all about?"

[Ihei 714]

@,

 

Storm tried to sit down on a velvet couch to calm down, still breathing heavily. She shuddered, totally forgetting to keep her optimistic tone. She took a deep breath, then trotted upstairs. "I need to take a nap." Storm looked up and down the hall, then trotted into the first room she saw, not noticing that the door slammed shut behind her.

"Relax everypony. I've been trained for situations like this."

 

He went from his defensive position to a normal stance.

 

"It's like this place has been placed on magical lockdown. The good news is nothing can get in to harm us. The bad news is to say, we're not getting out anytime soon, and that's not to say that there nothing all ready here waiting for us."

Blaze gulped and nodded, the panic returning. "Oh okay... great... fantastic, wonderful... superb..." Blaze tugged at his neck cloth and caught a peak of something in there. It had a sheen to it, and it seemed to be kind of long. He readjusted the neck cloth, trying to ignore the feeling he had to grab it and burn the doors down. He breathed deeply, trying to calm himself down.
