@,

 

"Guess every knife I throw is a lucky shot too." She said, using her magic to pull the two knives from the mast and the other one from where Black heart had thrown it. "Wise up, or you'll be kicked from the ship." She grumbled. "For someone so noble and amazing as the "Jersey Devil" you have some growing up to do. Being on this ship will help you. Two rules. Don't cross me. DON'T look down on me because I'm a mare." She said, walking over to Black Heart and holding out her hoof. "Lets hold off on fighting for a bit, alright?"

Black Heart slapped her hoof away, the effort making a small tear leave his eye. 

"I don't need help, much less from a pony" Black Heart growled, wiping away the tear quickly. "Also, I'm 91, who are you to tell me to grow up?" Black Heart attempted to joke to block out the pain coursing through his hoof. Regeneration healed wounds, but it sapped his stamina brutally and didn't take away the pain.

Moon was scared of Ocean's voice. She never heard her talk like that before, not ever, so she backed away to a wall and cowered there. Truly she was a nice leader, so she earned her position well.

"Erhh... Um, uh.. So, so is the crows nest going to be fixed..? _{Please tell me it is.."}

 

Black Heart slapped her hoof away, the effort making a small tear leave his eye. 

"I don't need help, much less from a pony" Black Heart growled, wiping away the tear quickly. "Also, I'm 91, who are you to tell me to grow up?" Black Heart attempted to joke to block out the pain coursing through his hoof. Regeneration healed wounds, but it sapped his stamina brutally and didn't take away the pain.

 

Ocean raised an eyebrow. "Suit yourself. And you could be one thousand, I'd still be telling you to grow up." She said, walking away towards Moon, smiling and patting her on moons shoulder. "Don't fret, sweetie. Night Blade is working on it now." She said, sweetly.

[Flicker 141]

Wind Whistle felt a new respect for Ocean. He had listened to Night Blade's advice and sat this one one out. Instead, he watched from a distance, his mop resting on his shoulder. His eyes widened when he saw Ocean's skills up close. He wished he could have done that. He watched in awe as the Jersey Devil was subdued with mere words. He remembered his promise to Night Blade and decided to try his luck.

He walked bashfully up to Ocean, his heart racing for some reason. "Hey," he said. "So, I was wondering... Don't suppose I could take you up on those knife lessons?"

[Hive King 2,001]

Black Heart snarled as he watched Wind Whistle head to the unicorn for advice. How dare he?! That fool of a pegasus should be asking him for help, not some stuffy unicorn. Black Heart looked around keen eyes scanning the ship for someone to talk to but found none. Black Heart shivered in loneliness before curling up in the corner, sniffling slightly

[Stancet 691]

Razor Sharp retreated into the captain's cabin a few minutes ago and was alarmed moments later by several unusual noises he heard from outside. One in particular that sounded like the ship splintering apart drew his attention. He informed his boatswain, Night Blade, of the unusual problem the Dark Fortune had and silently prayed that this had nothing to do with the mast as he stepped onto the deck.

Black Heart looked around keen eyes scanning the ship for someone to talk to but found none. Black Heart shivered in loneliness before curling up in the corner, sniffling slightly

The corner apparently was where Moon was near (( since i'm assuming, crows nest x3 )) so she heard the dragon as he sniffed. She decided to walk over to him and sat down, petting Black Heart. "What's wrong dearie? You sound a bit frustrated, it's alright to tell me, no need to be afraid."

(OoC: Sorry it's been so long, hospital trip. My brother, who still hasn't made an account, was using this for a bit, but I forgot to ask him to remind me of any RP updates.)

 

Shyla didn't have time to deal with the injured pony, so she knocked on a door where a light was still away and moved swiftly away as she could, leaving his body behind. The door opened and a young mare frowned, but she saw no one as Shyla tried to keep to the shadows, letting the other take him inside.

 

Breathing with relief, Shyla looked at her companion.

@@Gloomfury

"Perhaps he attacked us, but if this is our new profession we'll be attacking many others," she said in a quiet tone, her eyes darker than ever as she lowered her head and shadowed her face. "I cannot let him die, even if it means possible danger to us in the future. Violence is a vicious cycle, and a life for a life is something that can be an important bargaining tool."

 

It was time to get to the ship, and Shyla headed onto it without another word.

 

(Time passing because I wasn't here for ages, whoo.)

 

The odd jobs around the ship were exhausting, but Shyla was eager to take on some more physical labour after so long of slinging drinks. She hadn't had much of a chance to talk to anyone yet, especially not the strange dragon creature that had come aboard, and she took a brief break from her duties to stand on the deck and breath in the salty air. As much as it meant little to her, air was so delicious and it made her feel tingly and energized.

 

Sure, if she fell over the side she was likely a goner, but many sailors didn't know how to swim, and there were lifeboats. (She thought.)

 

Waiting for someone to give her something to do, Shyla quietly hummed to herself. She was quite good at it and the tune carried nicely on the breeze.

[Gloomfury 243]

@, 

Gloom nods understandingly. "Aye, I know. But this how things are." He says as he walks back to the ship with Shyla. 

 

(Time passes for me too.))

 

Gloomfury walked over the ship seeing if everything it in shape. He notices the beast that was on the ship but didn't really care. IT was was going to make his plans a little more difficult that's for sure. 

 

@@Stancet, He then headed to the captain quarters to see of Razor Sharpe needed him to do anything. HE opens the door and walks in. "Sorry it took me a while captain, had a bit of a delay. So do you need anything done before we ship off?"

[Hive King 2,001]

The corner apparently was where Moon was near (( since i'm assuming, crows nest x3 )) so she heard the dragon as he sniffed. She decided to walk over to him and sat down, petting Black Heart. "What's wrong dearie? You sound a bit frustrated, it's alright to tell me, no need to be afraid."

Black Heart growled in frustration before covering his face with a large wing.

"I don't need help, I'm the best at everything" the Jersey Devil grunted in a pathetic attempt to cloak his emotions. Black Heart as usually fine with being alone, but that was because nopony was near him, not that they were avoiding him. The mental foal grunted as he pretended to fall asleep. He would only talk if somepony came to ask for advice

((I would like to apologize for yesterday. I was in a bad mood and...sometimes I have a habit of using my OC's to vent. It wont happen again))

Ocean watched Moon go before jumping slightly as a voice spoke from behind her.
She looked around and smiled at Wind. "Yes." She said, sliding the knives she had just used back into her belt. "Lets run find you a knife you can start with." She said, trotting towards the hatch that led below deck.

@@Gloomfury, 

 

Just when Razor Sharp was about to exit his cabin, he was surprised when Gloomfury appeared uninvited. The captain considered Gloomfury's offer. He was proud his first mate was showing a sign of duty and responsibility to his work by asking him what he could assist with. But Razor Sharp wasn't sure whether answering Gloomfury was more important to him than inspecting the unusual activity transpiring on deck.

 

Razor Sharp weighed his option and decided to give Gloomfury just a moment of his time to give him the details. Leading his first mate over to his study table, he showed the stallion the work he had been fixated on.

 

"Black Heart bothers me," Razor Sharp explained. "You might be the only pony I can trust with this, Gloomfury, but only because the first mate is the only pony that I can trust. But regardless, I did not react to Black Heart's presence at all when he appeared onboard the ship. I don't want to give the crew the impression that I fear him, but I know when it's appropriate to be superstitious. I can not tolerate the behavior of such a creature onboard my ship, you realize."

 

Razor Sharp looked down and showed Gloomfury a very large leather bound book full of supernatural creatures. In the candle light, the crinkly old pages and dusty worn out letters had a certain ambience about them. Inside was a picture of a creature who looked very similar to Black Heart.

 

"I don't want to dispose of Black Heart," Razor Sharp mentioned. "He is useless to me if I simply sent him away, but I need extra security in case I can't trust him. I might have to experiment with different charms and potions to see if there is something that can give me power over him if it should come to that."

 

Razor Sharp looked straight into Gloomfury's eyes. "The only thing I believe I could use help with is determining what this sort of charm could be. I need to be running this ship as captain when I can't afford to do this myself. The only thing I insist is that you don't draw suspicion to yourself when you do this, understand?"

Black Heart growled in frustration before covering his face with a large wing.

"Aww, come on. There's gotta be something you have that's bothering you!" Moon replied and felt the wing go over his face, so she slipped under it and hugged him. She took the bait that Black Heart fell asleep, so she kissed his dragon-y forehead and sighed. "I guess a nice rest would do, but really, you should come talk to me with all your problems and i'll try to help you out..~"

Black Heart thumped his head against the ground in boredom after only 5 minutes passed.

"I won't talk to her" Black Heart growled, not wanting to compromise his pride. "But I've got nothing better to do" the Jersey Devil argued with himself. Finally, boredom won over his pride. "Wait, Moon, I guess we could play something" the creature mumbled guiltily.

"Huh? Oh, I guess you were awake, heh.." Moon giggled a bit and patted the Black Heart's forehead. She snuggled in from his wing and smiled. "Do you have anything on your mind you want to play? I can do anything ranging from just talking to various entertainment~"

"I don't know, darts?" the Jersey Devil grunted. "It's been a while, about 91 years, since I've talked to somepony who isn't a drug addict" Black Heart mumbled under his breath, hating how clueless he was about modern society. "Is there something that has been invented recently? That could be interesting" Black Heart said, attempting to sound gruff and uncaring. However, the foal inside him was practically squealing with joy at a new game.

Moon cocked her head and tried to think, but nothing much came up. "We could fly around and play tag if you wanted, but I might accidently get lost if I cant hear your wings... Well there is good ol racing, but same bad outcome there.. Hm. What do you dragons like to do anyways? I always thought most of you liked treasure, which is usually satisfying for you."

"I'm not a dragon" Black Heart groaned, annoyed at the common mistake. "I'm an enlightened pony who received power via demon, or more commonly, a Jersey Devil" Black Heart said, knowing the next question that would come. "And yes, the title "Lord and Master of All Evil Dragons" is used only for effect" the Jersey Devil grunted out quietly, not wanting to lose any face in front of the other crew members. "As for me, I spend my time hunting down the unjust and sucking them dry of their worthless life-force" Black Heart finished proudly

"Well you seem quite tough, and sorry for the mistake. I'm a little, blind, you could say, so I don't really know." Moon giggled and hugged this Jersey Devil. "What would you classify as unjust Black Heart? Things that cower in fear of others, or things too weak to fight?"

"First off no hugs, the only reason I'm talking is out of boredom" the Jersey Devil grunted. "Second, the unjust are the criminals and ponies most likely to become criminals of Equestria. I like nipping problems in the bud" Black Heart said while giving a quick look at the blind pony. "I could restore your sight you know, with a life transfer spell" Black Heart murmured

Moon nodded and let go of him, then sat up. "Criminals, huh? Well then that's a pretty nice job, I guess.. And no. Like Ocean said, we're not doing this because of any risk of killing me. You know what she said stays in position unless I really insist on it, and my mind isn't changed right now."

"Hmph, why do you listen to Ocean?" Black Heart said with disdain. "Unicorns are stuffy and arrogant ponies" the Jersey Devil hissed with distaste. "As for a the life transfer, I've drained thousands of criminals, I can easily spare some" Black Heart said with an air of arrogance

[Milk Wave 454]

"Hmph, why do you listen to Ocean?" Black Heart said with disdain. "Unicorns are stuffy and arrogant ponies" the Jersey Devil hissed with distaste. "As for a the life transfer, I've drained thousands of criminals, I can easily spare some" Black Heart said with an air of arrogance

"So you're calling my daughter who's two months of age stuffy and arrogant?" Moon said a bit frustrated. "Well that just killed me ever deciding to change my mind, good luck now. Besides Ocean is a much more reliable and dependable pony to trust on, if you haven't noticed."

[Hive King 2,001]

"So you're calling my daughter who's two months of age stuffy and arrogant?" Moon said a bit frustrated. "Well that just killed me ever deciding to change my mind, good luck now. Besides Ocean is a much more reliable and dependable pony to trust on, if you haven't noticed."

"Oh come on! She knifed me in the leg!" Black Heart whined before jumping out of the crow's nest, desperate to have some fun. For him, fun was either giving speeches about his adventures or sparring. So far, Cascade and Ocean seemed to be the toughest foes but he had no clue where they were

Moon just replied loudly. "Well you deserved it then, being that you want to fight all the time!" Then she came after Black Heart by flying after him, trying to listen closely to his wing beats while following behind. "Get back here and say you're sorry, since you offended me!"

Moon just replied loudly. "Well you deserved it then, being that you want to fight all the time!" Then she came after Black Heart by flying after him, trying to listen closely to his wing beats while following behind. "Get back here and say you're sorry, since you offended me!"

"Not a chance! I make it my policy not to apologize" the Jersey Devil spat before doing a loop in an attempt to get the blind pegasus off his tail. For a blind pony, she was surprisingly agile and continued following him. "Ugh, will you just buck off already" Black Heart screeched before going into a dive and hitting the deck with all fours. Black Heart got up quickly and scrambled to the base of the mast
