(

In 1602, from the voyage of the Concord (of Dartmouth) arriving at Cape Cod on May 15, 1602, Captain Bartholomew Gosnold had named the small island "Martha's Vineyard" after his eldest daughter, Martha;^[5] however, the name was later transferred to the larger island nearby, northeast of Nomans Land.

The island was probably named "Nomans Land" after a Martha's Vineyard Wampanoag sachem, Tequenoman, who had jurisdiction over the island when the English came in the early 17th century: named from "TequeNoman's Land" (figurative phrase).^{[citation needed]}

An entail of 1695 mentions that William Nicoll of Islip Grange, Long Island, NY owned the Island of Normans Land near "Martins Vineyard" recalling the fact that on December 19, 1685 Gov. Dongan, Lord of the Manor of Martha's Vineyard (including Normans Land) had made Nicoll his Steward there.^[6])

Lace wasn't even sure how she was going to do this; one on hand, the store had been relatively quiet. She had to laugh to herself at the idea of those macho stallions that probably didn't think of barricading themselves in here. Though, the zombies that had been here originally could have been some of those stallions. The mare sighed, her long ember hair in a high ponytail, her hooves stained and dingy. Eyes of pure Morganite stared back, further in the tent at the young pony curled under a sleeping bag. Lace had found her in an old house, depending herself with a two-by-four piece of timber, and had helped her out of a very- for lack of a better word- stressful situation. All the older mare could do now for the pegasus was to keep her safe and sound. 

 

Sweets, meanwhile, slept. Slept lightly. Ears swiveled and eyes moved restlessly under her lids. This outbreak had been something she would have never expected, yet here it was. This older mare had come to her rescue when the zombies had broken down the door to her old house. The-admittedly- better looking girl had helped her fight to this shop, where they'd been for quite a while. By day, they explored the store, and once the sun began to set and the street lights came on, both females went back this tent, with Miss Lockheart manning the mounted firearm. Sweets couldn't hold a gun to save her life, and had no clue how to shoot. The two terms she knew were pistol and ammo, and barely knew those. For now, she could sleep.

You are exhausted, the sweltering heat has caused you to nearly pass out as you bust into a second entrance in the Sporting Goods Store you have on you a Baseball Bat, you fall on the floor as you busted in, you lay down to catch your breath, luckily you happen to have plenty of water on you

[The Ponyville Critic 304]

Missy just lays there for a moment, just trying to gain the strength to get up, her magic is all but useless with her fatigue, she was never much of a magic user anyway, only capable of simple levitation,and even that wasn't working, though she had to do something to get some water, she would die of dehydration in a matter of hours.

[Sweets 198]

Sweets would awake quite abruptly to the sound of not only an open door, but a thud on the floor nearby. She shot up with wings unfurled, ears lowered. "Wh-what was that...?!" she asked, hair a mess and body bruised. 

 

Lace turned her head, staring into green eyes full of fear. "Calm down, darling, calm down. I'll go take a look, you just stay put, and put those cute little hooves on the trigger if you see slobbering undead." she spoke with a smile on her lovely face, scuffed and tired from fighting. With this, she stood, poking her head out of the tent and searching around, before going out, and looking around. The first few steps were careful, eyes darting around. Eyeshadow had faded to a dull blue, those pink eyes shining bright in the dim. "Hello...? Is somepony there?" she asked, walking slowly, making notes of weapons that she could use.

(Meh, I'll do it anyway.)

 

Missy remained on the ground, she heard the queries of her presence and she tried again to get up onto her hooves, but she couldn't, she was just too tired, she tried to levitate a canteen of water off of the small saddle she was wearing, but her horn glow simply flickered and died out.

"Hello? Help..." She mumbled, she was very tired. (If that wasn't already obvious.)

[it'll probably just be us here for a while, the RP seems inactive most of the weekend]

 

Lace felt her ears perk and body stiffen. A voice. Good things these things couldn't talk, she thought thankfully, going toward the sound of the voice. Those same pink eyes widened in shock, staring intently at the young blue unicorn. "Oh, dear Luna!" she gasped out, trotting forward quickly. "Are you alright, little one? Are you scratched, or bitten?" she asked quietly, unsure of what exactly as there- or might be there- with them.

"Burnt, need water, not bitten..." Missy felt as though she could fade out of consciousness any second, she'd been out in the scorching sun for about an hour. "Please help me..." She coughed as she tried to get up again, not managing to get anywhere she just lay there.

[Sweets 198]

"Shhh..." murmured the earth pony, stroking through dual-colored hair. She noted the packs on the filly's back, reaching out to take the canteen. "Here, I'll help you drink," she spoke, popping the top off and lowering herself to her haunches. Lace sighed softly, lifting young Missy's head and putting canteen to her mouth. "Here. Drink, dear."

"Th-thank you..." She said, drinking some water. "I've been traveling on my own for weeks, I had to leave my parents back in Ponyville and I've been alone ever since." She attempted to get onto her hooves again, though shaky, she was standing up. "I wasn't expecting anypony to be here, especially somepony as nice as you."

"You're just a filly, I can't leave you on your own." said Lace, smiling slowly. "I'm Lace," she said, backing up to allow the unicorn to stand. "Come with me. I'm set up with a friend not too far from here. Are your hooves sore?" she asked, loose hair falling from her ponytail.

"Hi Lace, my name is Missy Starlight, my hooves are sore and they're all burnt from being out on the hot ground." Missy said, following after this earth pony. "All I have to defend myself is a baseball bat, and that doesn't work without my magic, which by the way, is not working. You're like the first normal pony I've met since leaving Ponyville."

"Magic to use a baseball bat?" Lace asked, keeping close to the young pony. "Oh, darling, you don't need magic to whack somepony with a piece of wood!" she laughed under her breath, turning to enter the camping area. The tent, with some droplets of blood sputtering the dirty green tent material. "Here we are." she sighed, stopping to allow Missy to enter the tent. "Go on in, honey. My friend is in there already."

"O-okay..." Missy looked over the tent,  it seemed slightly grubby and worn, but it seemed safer than any other part of the world. "Hello?" Missy asked, seeing an orange filly pegasus, she looked kind of scared, Missy certainly wouldn't blame her, meeting a new pony in this new, dangerous world.

Lace sighed, allowing them two some alone time as she checked their means of protection, making sure they had enough ammo in the weapon as well as out.

 

Sweets' head picked up quickly, the young mare gasping a moment. "Oh, h-hello." she spoke quietly, having out the sleeping bags in one corner for now. "You must have been what we heard." her hooves trembled a bit, wings wanting badly to flitter and flap in a nervous way. "So-sorry I'm so nervous... I tend to be a bit on edge nowadays; though, I guess for some pony as young as you, it's even harder."

[The Ponyville Critic 304]

"Hello, sorry for startling you two back there, to be honest, I thought this place would've been empty." Missy successfully levitated her heavy saddle off of her back and sat down, resting her sore hooves. "My name is Missy Starlight, I'm surprised you're both so friendly."

[Sweets 198]

Sweets only nodded, crossing her forelegs and merely listening. "I'm Sweets," she adjusted her tattered yellow scarf and sighed. "It would be wrong of us to be suspicious of one pony. The living must stick together." her words were sincere and deliberate, if not trembling.

"I guess so, but not everypony sees it that way... if things are ever going to be normal again, we all need to work together." Missy smiled and levitated a small canteen of water. "Is that pony, Lace, your sister? She seems like the type that would be a big sister to somepony."

I take the slug thrower from broken and attach it to his wing. "why do you have these wings? Why arent they moving?" I think of all the possible reasons but I don't think any of them are valid.

 

(OOC: Sorry for being gone! I was on an adventure for a ps4! lol I left canada to go to the us for one! But live 15 mins away from the us)

[Sekhayet 253]

Broken tilts his head and considers explaining.

 

"They were a requirement for my former line of work." He says slowly. "I could not have survived without them."

 

Broken starts moving toward the door. "The store should be open to us. We will scavenge what we can and plan accordingly, little Flame."

 

(@@Arial Flame: It's fine, yeah? We have more people near us in the RP world.)

[Arial Flame 28]

"Where did you work? A construction site? A place where you life heavy things? Were you a professional wing wrestler?!?!? Hmm... that sounds silly...alright, anything I should get if I see it? Anything important other than food and water? Maybe we can get some uhh... nevermind. Lets go."

[Skullbuster 1,906]

A large cloud passed over head and blocked the sun, this helped trremendously with the sweltering heat, although the ground was still a little hot, The few zombies outside were still stumbling about, one zombie had died due to the heat, one zombie was banging its head on the store window

[Sekhayet 253]

"A soldier."

 

Broken opens the door to the cooler outdoors and makes his way toward the sporting goods store. He expects Flame to follow.

 

He stops after a few moments as the store comes into a better view. Before resting for a few hours, he had not checked for any signs of life. When he was last here, no one had been near. Now, there was some barricade in the way of the front entrance. They would have to enter from the back.

 

Broken started listening more carefully for any pony. "There's somepony here..."

[Arial Flame 28]

I followed Broken not intending to leave him at anytime. "A soldier hmm?..." I bumped into his flank when he stopped "Uhhh... Sorry" I blushed a bit in embarrassment. "What if they're bad guys? How many did you hear?" I started to become worried. What if they had more firepower than we did and what if they were gonna kill us for our stuff?

[The Ponyville Critic 304]

Missy didn't wait for an answer from the new pegasus, as she heard voices.

"There's someponies near the store, I can hear them." She levitated the baseball bat and trotted out of the tent. "Don't want to give away our position. Best to just hide somewhere..." She whispered, then turning around. "Oh.... right...." She backed up into the tent again.
