It hadn't been the long seven year voyage he'd thought it would be. At about 3 months out, he realized he hadn't brought enough food for him and his crew, so the Dread Pony Roberts was forced to turn about and head back for supplies.
It was at this point that he realized that he wasn't exactly sure where they were. So he went to the mane cabin and opened up the map box. He stared dumbfounded into the empty space, the map and compass were no where to be found.
After a hectic hour of searching everywhere (yes, including the refrigerator), he began asking the crew. It was when he asked Cannon Shot that he had to put hoof-to-head in annoyance and regret. Cannon Shot remind the good Dread Pony, that he'd asked his first mate to take the map to a Cartographer to have it updated, and buy a new compass, as the old one was rusty.
The truth of it was, they were lost, at sea, with no way to find their way home easily.
Which brings us to today. It'd been a rough 9 months at sea. There'd been hardship, mixed with just enough to keep the crew from starvation. Even a near-mutiny, which was luckily aborted because everyone was too tired to raise their swords, and then they found land and more food.
So when the Dread Pirates Roberts, on the ship the Fair Mare, finally pulled into the Bay of Cleveland, there was much rejoicing... which sounded a lot like a boatful of Fluttershys. "Yay."
The Dread Pony Roberts and Cannon Shot crossed the gang-plank onto home soil, promising to bring back food, a map, and a compass. Oh, and some mead too. Yea, plenty of mead. He'd bring back wenches, but this was a family show, and colts and mares worked side-by-side on his ship.
So there he was, back in Tiaraville, buying all the necessities for a long seven year voyage, when out of the corner of his eye he saw a vision. He turned to find his one true love, Buttercup.
She smiled to him, tilted her head to the side, indicating for him to follow, then headed to the back of the store.
Intrigued, he followed. He'd always been in love with her, but she'd never shown any interest in him. Why now?
Once he reached the dark cramped room of the storage cellar, Buttercup lunged at him, pressing her lips to his. "I've missed you so much this past year. Where have you been?"
"You have?" Was all he could reply, shocked by this turn of events.
"Of course I have, silly." she said, nuzzling up against him. "I mean... we are a couple, right?" Taking on a confused tone. She looked a little bewildered. "All those pictures... I..." And then she changed forms into a black changling. "Well, looks like I misread things."
And before Dread Pony Roberts could scream coherently, Not-Buttercup tackled him and pinned him down. Out of the shadow another changling stepped out, and took the form of the good captain. They then sent the real Dread Pony Roberts away to the Crystal Prison.
Spoiler
Dread Pony Roberts (Mangosta71) was captured and sent to the Crystal Prison. He was a Town Pony.

And I'm back.
And the world is still in one piece (mostly), good work everyone!
------------
Oranges you say? And they've been properly stored and are at least reasonably fresh? Well, what are we waiting for!
Oh... Monsters...
He thought for a moment.
I've got it! Silver Scream, go fetch my armour while I select an appropriate firearm/sword combination. We're going monster hunting!
Yes Your Illustriousness.
Monster hunting? Again? Bad enough that one time with the Ursa Minor, let alone the time with the Timber Wolves and the time with the Manticore... The time when there were Manticores and Timber Wolves...
Most people at least got to make up their own exaggerated tales, the Count always seemed to find them in real life...

The cound decided to count on an ARABIAN SCIMITAR and a large REVOLVER, for reasons known only to him.
Dark spark had to use his trusty SHARP HORNS, SHARP TEETH, BURNING HOOVES.
to the way they went.
the journy to the old ruin was peacefull, apart to some curious younglings and a very aggresive butterfly (who was also very tastey).
Upon reaching the ruin it was clear it would be a hub for danger.
Entering the basement, corpses of spiders were gathered at the corner while their web is on the other corner.
Le wild CELESTIAL WYVERN appeared!
CELESTIAL WYVERN used POISON STING on THE COUNT!
THE COUNT dodged the attack!
DARK SPARK used CHARGE!
THE COUNT used SHOT!
The wyvern absconds!
and the way to the sweet oranges and the secret amulet was clear.

Silver Star moseyed on over to the Golden Filley Soda Shop. A raspberry shake, please. he asked of the Pretty Lass behind the counter.
He then leaned up against it, and looked around. All the ponies in the store turned away as one and stopped talking. It was eery, but he'd grown accustomed to the silence. He heard it everywhere he went.
The sound of a glass skidding across the countertop told him his shake was on its way. He held out a paw and stopped the glass from going any further. Thank ya much, ma'am. He nodded, leaving behind the required coin.
As soon as he stepped out the door, the chatter began again. As was usual, everypony wanted to know his name. Wondered where he came from. And most importantly, wanted to know if he really could do what he claimed he could do.
Silver Star walked across the street, heading toward the Mayor's home. He needed to talk to her, let her know what he planned to do, and get her permission to do it. He felt it was always best to treat the local leadership with respect, even if that leader was corrupt.
Taking one last sip of his delicious shake, Silver Star knocked on the door of Tiraville's newest mayor, Silver Tiara. To his surprise, the door swung open easily. Carefully setting down the glass, Silver Star stepped into the beautiful mansion and drew out his silver guns. Miss Tiara, are you home? he called into the darkness.
No reply.
Silver Star crept in a little further, about to step onto the first step going upstairs. BAM!! The doors closed behind him. His nerves jumped, but he stood still. He wasn't gun shy, and certainly wasn't scared of a door shutting.... He looked back. .....on its own.
Wide-eyed, Silver Star nonetheless continued on up stairs. Mayor Diamond Tiara could be in trouble, he couldn't just leave her there, alone, and likely frightened. No matter how bad a mayor she was.
At the top of the stairs, he looked carefully around the corner, nothing. He slipped into a shadow and crept further toward what looked to be her office. There was a slight creeking noise coming from up ahead. Taking a slow breath, he stepped into the room, his guns ready to fire upon any villain.
The chair behind the desk slowly turned revealing... nothing. At first. Then out of that inky-black darkness a pair of green eyes appeared. I'm in charge now. Lower your weapons, and I'll let you live.
Silver Star started to lift his guns, when he noticed from each side, standing right beside him, two more blacker than black figures standing in the shadows. He was fast, but not that fast. He lowered his guns, as commanded. Where is Mayor Tiara? What have you done with her?
Oh, you'll see her soon enough. And you'll be able to ask her all your silly questions. And after a curt nod, a hood was thrown over Silver Star's head, and then he was out cold.
Spoiler
Silver Star (Rogue Nine) was taken prisoner before he could clean up the town. He was a Town Pony.

Batmare pokes over the crime scene, trying to determine where Silver Star was taken. Eventually she comes to a shocking conclusion. "I'm Batmare," declares Batmare to anyone who will listen, and then shoots her grappling gun at a rooftop and flies off with a flourish of her cape.
I still find TBFProgrammer suspicious.

With a motherload of oranges and his magical amulet, Dark spark now only needed a portal to reach his father's domain.
Problem is, only ones who are capeable of building or powering one are Celestia and Luna. Chances of one of them accepting the request are dimiunitive as it means to build a gateway to an unforgiving dimension of fire and darkness, probably opening a gate to creatures from there to tiaraville and destroying us all if we are not prepered....
but maybe the count will be able to arrange somthing, but ill need to trick him into this.
Silver scream might ruin it all, he probably wont buy it.
Gnomegninjas for reasons unknown to me either.
I tottaly didnt change my vote.
totaly.

That Mangosta wagon yesterday was really weird. Everypony just jumped on it all at once saying that Mangosta was acting 'odd' but never giving a real reason or letting Mangosta defend himself.
Alarra started it and GnomeGninjas certainly had a reason to jump on it (to avoid being lynched himself) so
Let's poke Istari. Give us a better reason for your vote yesterday please.
Also want to look at 52.5 lemons.

Well I saw a couple other votes on magosta, he missed day 1, only made a random point day 2 and then had a really weird point here. Yet he lept to lynch Grue Bait on that day
The swings in activity just seemed off to me and I really didn't have a better lead.
The brown pony in yellow pants sits back in his stall and looks around. Weren't there a few more ponies in town yesterday? Where did they go? This should be....
A yellow haze covers his troubling thoughts and leaves him happy. Maybe Istari would come by and buy something?
Do not worry about things, my little pony. I'll take care of it. I'll find the bad things and stop them. You just do what you love and I'll stop the bad people, especially 52.5 lemons.
@V you know, you can throw away your vote all day long for the yellow text, but that isn't going to get me to change it.

Reinholdt, I miss when you were a small pony extremely frightened by my advances. That was when roleplaying was fun.
