Explorers of Equestria - RP

Peace Blossom had just finished up the last of her paperwork, when a guard came to her office door.

"Captain Blossom, ma'am?" He asks a little unsure of himself.

Peace Blossom sighs and looks up, "Yes, what is it recruit?"

"The General wants to see you Captain."

"Thank you recruit" She says as she gets up from her desk and walks to the General's office.

She knocks on his door.

Solar arrived at the tavern. The poster he had seen said to meet here within the next few hours. For a Peace Keeping unit recruitment. Though that was partially why he was here, the main reason was who had issued the poster. An old childhood friend of his, by the name of Peace.

 

Though her name was Peace, Solar sometimes called her Kaz, a shortened version of the Japanese word for peace.

@,

 

Sun Guard looked up from his desk.

 

"Yes, Peace.... please, come in" he says, "We need to talk to talk about your new "Peace Keeping" unit. In the nearby Tavern, your rucruits should be gathering, as well as a.... shall I say, old friend of yours" He says with a warm, but stern smile.

Scribe.

 

Scribe scuffed the ground idly with a hoof - looking up from his half-sleep and wondering if it was worth trying to find something to eat if he was going to be waiting much longer. Peacekeeping? Meh - he was mostly just bored: the opportunity to do some good was a nice bonus on the side.

 

Tugging at a loose strap of his armour, the unicorn tapped an impatient tube out on the table. And hummed a little under his breath.

 

'This is dull... where is everypony? This isn't going to be another of those 'timeshare' things like the last poster is it?'

 

Now that had been boring.

 

The unicorn slid a bit a few inches across the table and focused on it - flicking it into the air and catching it in a hoof - smirking proudly to himself. Sure most unicorns could do it as foals, but to him? Magic had been a trial by fire that he still hadn't gotten to grips with.

@@Commander Tangent,

 

Peace Blossom walked into Sun Guard's office and sat down, "You mean Solar, don't you sir? A-are you sure he's right for the job? I mean no disrespect, but he's more of a scholar than a fighter, sir." She fiddles with her front hooves a bit, "If you really think he's going to do alright, then I guess I can see, if I can fit him in somewhere." She says getting up, "I should go to the tavern now, unless you have any further orders for me, sir?"

"Behind every great military force, there are great minds. Ours is no exception. While he may not be able to help you in battle to much, he will be the brains of your team. He will help you in quite unexpected ways" Sun Guard said with a slight chuckle.

 

"Yes, get to the Tavern, and meet your team" He says

 

@,

 

Solar sat in the Tavern, waiting. He was sure this was the place, but there was not a sign of Peace or any of the other recruits.

 

He sighed, "I hope this isn't some kind of prank" he says to himself as he looks around.

"Very well sir, I trust your judgment." Peace says, saluting Sun Guard then leaving his office. She signs out of the front office then begins her flight to the tavern. After a short while, she finally arrives there and before walking through the door, she steels herself, and sighs, "I really don't want Solar with me in this, not that I don't trust him or believe he can fight, but because I like him a lot, and if he gets killed during this time, I'd never forgive myself." she thinks to herself then walks to the front door.

 

She sees Solar and tries to put on her best smile before walking over to his table.

[Commander Tangent 861]

@,

 

Solar Notices Peace walking over to his table He immediately gets excited and shouts to her.

 

"KAZ, long time no see eh ?" He said as his mind flooded with old memories. Including his teenage crush he had one her. He blushed a bit at the thought, but shook his head and looked to her.

Lightwing was going to a tavern where,suposely,she was going to meet a team of ponies with the same target.

It all started when she saw a sign of recruitment of the Royal Guard.At the beggining,she didn't bothered on read it,but he word "Peace Keepers" called her attention

Do you have what we need to keep the peace on Equestria?If so,come to the Green Berret tavern today,and we'll judge you to see if you can help to keep a free Equestria

As she entered the Tavern,she started to see more ponies.

"Maybe i'm not the only one who has pacifist ideas after all..."

@@Commander Tangent,

 

Peace tried her best to keep a straight face when she heard Solar's familiar voice call out her nickname, She walks over to him and lightly hugs him, "Hi Solar, yes, it has been a long time." She looks around the tavern, there weren't that many ponies there but she saw another familiar face, "Ah, looks like Scribe has answered the call too." She says with a more real smile.

 

@,

 

She walks over to him and shakes his hoof, "Good to see you, our table is over there" she says, motioning over to where Solar was sitting.

[The Elusive Cinder 1,328]

Scribe.

 

@,

@@Commander Tangent,

 

Dropping the coin as his concentration was lost, Scribe shook his head, grinned sheepishly and scooted over to a more appropriate seat.

 

The pair... didn't really fill him with confidence. That said, his old companions had been an teenager and an inventor with an attention span that could be held in a teaspoon... and they had turned out to be brilliant. That, and neither of these ponies had introduced themselves while on fire or anything... so things were looking up!

 

"Oh, hey!" He answered awkwardly. "Was starting to think I was going to be the only one showing up..."

[)O( Scarlet )O( 1,259]

@,

 

Peace grinned, "Glad to say you're wrong there friend, name's Captain Peace Blossom, but you can just call me Peace or Kaz. I'm the leader of our group, as I am in fact the Captain of the Peace Keepers in the Canterlot Guard." She pulls up a seat and waits for the others to arrive.

 

She then motions over to Solar Dust, "This is Solar Dust, by the way,"

[Scribblegroove 565]

Streamsung was standing a few houses away from the tavern. She was frightenedly looking around with big eyes, and she was shivering as if she were an icicle. She didn't know what to do. She was hesitating about if she had made the right descision coming here. She was running late, and she knew it...

 

She had been like this for half an hour now... Arriving early was a habit of hers, but so was anxiety and hesitation. Eventually she got herself together and toughened up. How could she expect to join an expedition group like this if she weren't even tough enough to handle simple situations like this. She wanted to help the guards, and she knew they needed her, or at least could make good use of her.

 

She walked down the street with a strong pace. She'd find out very soon if she'd been right about joining this group. She didn't look like a warrior in the slightest, but she knew every legion needed a brain, and perhaps someone to care for it. Supporting roles, those were her best.

 

She walked through the door and already saw three ponies who were most definately guards. One of them even still wore his armour, so it was obvious she had come to the right place. She was about to approach the group when she realised that she they were already in a conversation. The last thing she would want to do was interrupt them, so she waited, a bit anxiously of what was going to happen. Most likely a lot of mocking, but she had prepared for that...

[The Elusive Cinder 1,328]

@,

 

Scribes gave a friendly nod of acknowledgement of the introduction: he didn't have much to do with the guard, but held nothing against them. All he wanted was to get out and about again - it didn't really matter who with.

 

"Scribe Shield. I'm... I guess you could call me an adventurer? It's a long story... "

 

A long story that these strangers really didn't have time to hear - they would be here all day!

 

@@Scribblegroove,

 

He looked up towards the nervous filly loitering around just out of polite earshot and paused.

 

"Uh... Are you okay?" He offered - the kind tone offset by his tactless choice of words. Scribe would - unfortunately - never quite master the art of words. "Can we help you?"

[Lightwing 12,980]

She started to saw 3 ponies who seemed to be friends.

"Maybe i should wait..."

@@Scribblegroove

While those 3 ponies were talking to each other,she started to wait for them to talk before saying something.But then entered another mare.For what it seemed,she didn't knew anypony here

At least i'll make her not feel alone

She came near that mare and started to talk

"Howdy!My name's lightwing.Who are you?"

[Commander Tangent 861]

@, 

 

Solar waved a bit timidly.

"Yeah, hi... I'm Solar Dust, as Kaz said" He acknowledged as a new pony approached.

 

@@Lightwing,

 

"Hello there Lightwing. I'm Solar, I assume you are here for the same purpose we all are, huh ?" He says with a slight chuckle.

 

Solar was always horrid with introductions...

[Scribblegroove 565]

@Lightwing

 

Streamsung was glad she didn't have to wait there for somepony to approach her for very long. Though she had anticipated on barging into the conversation at some point, this was a pleasant surprise.

 

"I am lo-" she started speaking softly, but she was interrupted by another mare asking for her name. The mare had introduced herself as Lightwing. She turned to lightwing and the armoured stallion at the same time. "My name is Streamsung Swann-" she then turned to the stallion and his companions. "-and I am looking for the 'Peacekeepers', or at least the ponies who hung the posters saying they needed new recruits everywhere in the town..." She finished her sentance. She tried to seem confident and sure of her purpose, and also straight to the point. She just hoped it had worked.

@@Commander Tangent

"Hey there Solar!!!You're not the only one with problems with introductions,but don't worry!An introduction don't defines a person.So i hope that we can become friends"

They shook their hooves,and then she walked to the other ponies' side

She smiled and started to talk

Peace Blossom smiles as she hears the timid little mare speak up, "hello dear, well you've come to the right place." She then turns to the other mare, "Name's Peace Blossom." Speaking to both of the mares now, "I am the Captain of the Peace Keeping units of the Canerlot Guard, so you will be under my command."

Scribe.

 

@@Scribblegroove,

 

Scribe looked back and forth - it seemed like everything was happening at once - that was fine. He shrugged and grinned sheepishly.

 

"Swann? Huh. I'm Scribe. I think we're the ponies you're looking for."

 

He nodded towards the pair he had been sitting with.

 

"At least, these two are. I've just met 'em myself. If's uh... a pleasure to meet you."

 

'So, how long before you end up embarrassing yourself? Five minutes? Ten?'

 

He blinked. The self depreciation wasn't new - it didn't even phase him anymore - it was just a minor annoyance that spurred him on. Pushing the thoughts aside, he also pushed out a chair with his hoof.

 

"Uh... do you want to sit down? Feels like we might be here a while longer..."

[Commander Tangent 861]

@,@@Scribblegroove,

 

"H-hey Streamsung. Heh, at least I'm not the only shy one here" he says, " Trust me, you will really like Peace, or Kaz, or whatever you want to call her. She is awesome" He says.

 

This feeling...... I havent felt it in awhile..... heh... I think that crush is coming back. Ahhhh, childhood, good times.

@@Commander Tangent,

 

Kaz looked around the room, it seemed that most of the ponies were here, they were just waiting for one or two more to arrive. She couldn't help but notice the look on Solar's face whenever he looked at her, she sighs, 'when is he going to ever confess his love for me' she asks herself.

 

She then orders a round of beer for everypony

[Scribblegroove 565]

 

Streamsung was a little overwhelmed with all this sudden kindness of everypony around. These ponies didn't even come close to what she had expected. A strict group of highly trained guards, with not even the slightest bit of compassion, that's what she thought she would meet. Not this friendly bunch.

 

"I reckon we will, yes, thank you." Streamsung said as she sat down on the offered seat, next to Scribe. She looked at the little group that had gathered. A strange compilation, she had to admit, but she felt that this group would achieve more than a group of normal guards, as long as they knew how to fight. She certainly didn't. Then a question popped up in her mind.

 

 

Streamsung turned to the captain. "So what is the... Deal really? I don't know if I am misinformed, but there was nothing on the poster itself... Are we going anywhere-" she shivered a little, and tried to hide het fear. "- dangerous? Will there be fighting? I reckoned there would, since this is a group of guards, but I am not sure..." She ended her question. She honestly did want to know where they were headed, what their goal even was... Because if it did include a lot of danger, she would want to know from beforehand.

 

She realised that not the entire group was there yet, and cursed herself for her stupidity. This captain was obviously waiting to explain everything when everypony was here.

Peace nodded, "well techinically, I'm the only guard here, all the others here are just the same as you, they saw the flier and decided to answer it. Yes, we will be going to dangerous places, our first mission is to check out a cave, where Zechora has reported hearing strange and howling noises. Most likely they are Timberwolves, but we're not sure, so that is why our group is being sent there"

"Well then, there goes any thought of direct confrontation. We would not last long in combat against a pack of Timberwolves. " Solar said as he shivered a little at thee thought of them.

 

He  started to think a little, of possible ways to confront this problem.

Peace nodded, "True, but this is solely a search and discover mission. Our top priority is to find out who or what is occupying that cave and making those strange noises. If it comes to combat, then it comes to combat, But I am hoping it doesn't." She says as she downs her first glass of beer within seconds.
