[FWM] As Equestria Turns:MLP Without the Kiddy Thread XI
My Little Pony: Friendship Was Magic
In Equestria, the monsters are kept in safe places, and can be beaten off with hugs and clothing and angry stares.
In Equestria, a benevolent goddess raises the sun and the moon, and keeps the world in harmony.
In Equestria, the concept of danger is barely understood.
This is not that Equestria.
The town of Bridle Shores lies near a lake, and is one of the cities that survived the revolution. The heroic Moon Goddess, and her student, overthrew the Burning Hate of the Iron Hoof, saving Equestria from the searing, unending summer that raged for years. Even now, she tries to hold against the monsters, the literal armies of feral species that attack.
This is not the Equestria you know. Friendship has power, love may yet triumph. But evil is not just a word. Go out into the woods today, and be sure to take an axe, or make sure you have that fireball spell on a hair-trigger. If you want to keep your life... you'd better work for it.
Rules?
Spoiler
Q: So, how dark are we talking?
A: As dark as Exalted or a darkish d&d game, no more. The idea should be that things ARE fixable.
Q: What kind of RP is this?
A: More active than the non-grimdark. The added darkness makes actual adventure-style plots more viable. We could have wars against [unspecified villains], Celestial cults, and dungeoncrawling!
Q: Anything else?
A: Yes. Dark or no dark, keep within the board rules.
Q: Hullaballoo.
A: Calloo callay!
Q: Is that all?
A: No. Whatever you do, do NOT forget about spell 87. Or else. Now have fun.

Re: [FWM] As Equestria Turns:MLP Without the Kiddy Thread XI
(Reposting for the new thread)
Sandy followed behind him, running completely on autopilot. It seemed as though he'd been walking forever; Lemongrass could've been leading him into a pizza joint for all he knew.
Down the stairs, trot trot stumble trot, and into the cell. He stared blankly back at the pegasus. Or maybe the wall behind him, it was hard to tell. "Thank you...Mister nice guard..." He sloooowly tilted his head until it was nearly parallel to the ground, and sported a big, dopey grin. "Hey...why the...the wide face? Heh...heh...heh..." With that final bit of incoherence, he lost his balance and collapsed right onto the bed, out like a light.

Re: [FWM] As Equestria Turns:MLP Without the Kiddy Thread XI
Lochbed groaned since she didn't like Aubade seeing her like this either. It worried her less as the maid knew all about her other-worldliness.
"Ah'm going to bed. Too drained. More than Ah thought." She kissed Ember's cheek. Then she stood up to kiss Aubade's cheek as well. Finally she headed upstairs to Embers bed.
Ember watched her go upstairs and slumped on the couch, his hoof touching the plate his sandwich was on. He stared at it for a moment before taking a bite of it. He wondered just how much of his words were genuine and what part was just him trying to save his hide. It made him feel bad, like a jerk face Mcjerk.
Aubade watched and sat next to him and then just hugged him. He had a minor look of surprise as Aubade rarely just randomly hugged him. He hugged her back, she smelled like melon cucumber, it made him hungry for his sandwich more so. "It'll be alright young master," She said simply and pulled away before just walking off. Ember just blankly stared as she went upstairs.
--
After finishing his sandwich, he got himself a blanket and pillow and plopped himself on the couch.

Soft continues to attempt to teach the marebeast to dance, even if it seems like it should be a lost cause by now. She refuses to quit dammit!

Gwynfillion eventually plopped her plot on the ground. "Can we stop now? I think this 'dancing' took more out of me than fighting that dragon that one time."

Taylor
"Well it's nice to meet you, Yohanna. I- Oh hey look, here we are." He leads her into the Center and plops himself down in a corner, clearly about to go to sleep himself. "I suppose we can trade stories in the morning. I don't want to talk your ear off."

The next ponyday
Hotel - Staccata
Not being a morning pony, Staccata stays in the usual cuddle-vice in bed nowhere close to waking up.
Guard House
The griffon was put on what amounts to light duty as standard reaction to exposure to unknown magics resulting in injury. This, of course, puts him in a bad mood and there aren't any trainees to take it out on due to them still being short-hoofed. What's worse is that he's not going to be able to fly out to the fort to have a conversation with the general without having any pieces of the assassins' armor.
He just sighs and sits down in a patch of sunlight.
Mach's Workshop - Mach
Mach having been cooped up all day gets up and starts some coffee. It might be a day to get around the town in the sun. While the caffeine is going, he heads outside and just floats at the altitude of his second story for a while and yawns.Ask me about our low price vacation plans in the Elemental Plane of Puppies and PieSpoiler

"As you wish." Soft says, a little disappointed, but understanding.
The rest of documents held instructions on where Mystic should start, in the city of New Colt City, particularly in the Broncs. There was to be an anti Celestia rally going on, not set up by Rabble Rouser and co, but it could still provide some leads unless Mystic somehow messes it up Meanwhile, Amber Grain continued to nuzzle and cuddle against her mistress, she liked the way Mystic's...scales or whatever felt.
Naturally, she'd be somewhat close by with a few less conspicuous minions on hoof in case things went...well....really south.
And yeah, she essentially has scales. She nuzzled and cuddled Amber back every once in a while.

Taylor
As always, Taylor wakes up at the crack of dawn and sneaks out of the Civic Center to witness the sunrise. After which he goes back in to check on Yohanna
--
Daniel
If a guard comes down at some point, Daniel calmly informs them that yes, the prisoner did try to escape and yes, he is having a very nice nap.
--
Zaros
Much like Taylor, Big Z catches the early sunrise and takes that as his cue to go catch some Z's in a field. (Pun not intended, but I'm still so very sorry.)D&D is the only game I can think of (with the possible exception of Calvinball) where the only way to lose is by playing to win.

Re: [FWM] As Equestria Turns:MLP Without the Kiddy Thread XI
"Thanks," She uttered laying spread down on her belly now. She looked adorable all pooped out, or would if it wasn't for her pouty grouchy expression. "Ya know...I could really use a pina colada right now.."
Mystic considered her options in this scenario. She wasn't a half-bad speaker, but with the way she currently looked, they'd probably ignore anything she had to say. She had a few inconspicuous spies left, so she'd end up sending one of those in first to see what the best way to deal with them was.

Aisis then arrives to the room
"not only his birthday party, it was his arming party too, then they came, ruined it, and killed everypony in the village.... Only me and my brothers survived...."
Luka
He was still sleeping on the matress, still whistiling and laying on his back with a hoof over his barrel.
Whitestone and Ironblade
Ironblade's went from unconciouss to sleeping at night. But whitestone's already starting to wake up.
"ugh....wha-....What was that?"
He was still on the floor, just raising his head and rubbing it with a hoof.Extended sig

Re: [FWM] As Equestria Turns:MLP Without the Kiddy Thread XI
[Sandy Shores - Almost like a drinkin' night]
Sandy, bruised and beaten, slumbered on in his cell. His dreams were filled with nightmarish spectres, cackling vamponies, and worst of all, himself, dim-eyed, doing the evil one's bidding. He frowned and groaned in his sleep, stirring on his cot, but his weariness kept him fast asleep.
[Back at the Cirrus]
Sandy, ordinarily an early riser, was noticeably absent from the galley and the engine room. Additionally, there was a package in whatever they use to accept mail; a small box, addressed to Sandy, as well as a letter tied to it. This, however, simply had Gearstride's name on it. No return address, no stamp, nothing.I'm developing a game. Let's see what happens! Complex.

Re: [FWM] As Equestria Turns:MLP Without the Kiddy Thread XI
And so that next morning there would be a frenzy, in a manner of speaking. The Guardhouse/police would find themselves swamped with reports of ponyfolk getting attacked during the night. Or at least claims of being attacked, no one ever could actually remember many details of being attacked or their attacker, just a hazy feeling of such a thing happening. Claims of feeling groggy, and a little itchy around the neck. A few ponies found themselves in random places in town, a few others, lying comfortably in their homes. Oddly, a couple of the ones who found themselves waking up in town, also mentioned leaving one of the many bars in Bridle Shores.
It wasn't until two reports of two mares found dead came in, found in different parts in town. Several bite wounds on their neck, like some sort of animal attack almost. Most importantly, they were drained of their blood and seemed to be more like husks than anything else.
------------------------------------------------
Meanwhile, Gearstride woke up feeling tired, and having an odd feeling altogether. She couldn't remember if Sandy messaged her that he had returned from his outing or not, or if she was partial to a dream.
She went to go collect their newspaper the crew started to get. They have been here so long, that they started getting the newspaper, who'd a thunk? :P
T'was about then when she saw a package with her name on an attached latter. She looked at it confusedly as she was still trying to wake up. She then shrugged and opened up the letter to read its contents.SpoilerPony Rp-Fox Trot Profile

"ok...seems like our friend won't be waking up soon, so we could just sleep already....I'm tired, and Luka's been asleep already"
"I'm kinda....too"
Aisis just gets on her bed while Mile faceplants against the pillow.... Then starts snuggling/twisting his head around it, he's obviously enjoying it.
Whitestone sees him before starting to sit up
