My Little Pony Friendship is Magic: Elements of Harmony and Discord[PG-10]

((Is anypony there? God I hope this doesn't die. Not sure what to post on that sooo))
 
((OOC: I'm here, just don't have anything to post about...))
 
((OOC: I just messaged Seawaddle about this. Sorta need her to advance the plot. In fact, if you guys could just message everyone about trying to get this active again, I'd appreciate it.
@fortworth: There's a lot of things to post about. You could try talking to the other ponies hit by an element of Discord, try to stop Shadow Snow from taking Dragonslayer, or investigate the Castle of the Royal Pony Sisters.)
 
(*Jumps up* I be alive!! ... Umm, I could help by meeting a pony in the Everfree forest if it helps..)
 
Ah well, I didn't want to enter a character out of fear of making him a Gary Stu, but it looks like I have to breathe some life in this RP Alose, Cookie, you can just flash forward to you approaching Dragonslayer.

Name: Little James
Mare or Stallion?: Colt
Pony, Pegasus, or Unicorn?: Earth Pony
Appearance:
Spoiler:

Personality: Little James is kind and courteous to those he meets, always calling older ponies Sir, or Ma'am, having been raised that way. He has an insatiable thirst for adventure, and always wants to go explore the unknown, or even do something remotely related to an epic. Unfortunately, he is easy to fool in that regard, and can be persuaded to do almost anything if the speaker say that it's an epic quest. Most ponies have grown to like Little James, if only for his enthusiasm and excitement towards almost anything he undertakes, mostly because he tries to find adventure and a quest in almost anything. He is somewhat naive because of this.

Bio: Little James is a wannabe adventurer. Ever sense he has been captivated by a certain braggart's stories he has always wanted to set out on an epic of his own. unfortunately, his somewhat smothering parents have prevented him from doing so. Not one to be bogged down by parental resentment of putting him in harms way, Little James does most things without telling his parents about it. As such, they worry about him a lot.

And now, on to the actual post.

-----
Little James exited the main hall where the Summer Sun Celebration was going on with fear. Nightmare Moon had just captured the Princess, created the Elements of Discord, and to top it all off, his role model had just burned down a building. James was understandably upset at him. Why would he do such a thing? It was almost unthinkable the Little James, and yet it had still happened. He was crestfallen.

As he pondered on such a thing, a thought occurred to him. If his idol was going to try to embark on a quest, there was an opportunity to finally embark on an epic adventure on his own! Little James was absolutely overjoyed. If an evil filly could join Nightmare Moon, who says that there can't be young colt to rise up to the challenge? There was no doubt about it, Little James would join his idol to save Celestia, and possibly all of Equestria.

But first, Little James would need to to know what he was up against. He may be enthusiastic, but he was smart. He was not going to blindly charge into danger. he needed to know what the dangers were. Of course, it would not matter in the end, because he thought that he would prevail anyway. He spotted two of the Ponies hit by Elements of Discord, but they appeared to be talking to themselves, Maybe it was not a good idea to talk to them, because he saw the mare in the duo lash out at the other ponies in anger and rage. Instead he looked for the large winged pegasus who was zapped by what appeared to be the Element of Despair, because he saw her melt into the ground in self defeat. He approached her.

"Ma'am, I saw you get hit by one of those jewel things. Are you OK? What was it like? I need to know." he asked in a polite tone. Finally, the chance to embark on an epic!
 
FrostBreeze remembered that she left something back in the celebration hall and turned around to go find it. She eventually found the burned down hall and started nosing through the pieces on the ground. A flash of blue caught her attention and she looked up. "Little James? What are you doing here?", she said, leaping over a fallen beam. She landed awkwardly and fell. She picked herself back up and swished her tail. Her wing ached, but she ignored it, freezing the painful part of her wing. She looked Little James over, happy to see that he was safe and un-harmed. She liked Little James. He was always so polite.
 
After some time the small filly slowed down to a walk, panting slightly as she exited the Everfree forest. Her icey blue eyes glanced about for the one called 'Dragon Slayer', he should be in a ditch around here somewhere.. Shadow Snow's armor sparkled in the moonlight as the filly bounced about nearing Ponyville watching for the ditch in which the stallion lived.

"Hey, Sky? You recon he's around here?" She asked the small gray and black pup sitting on her back. "I can't quite tell where specifically..."

Sky flicked his tail in thought as he jumped down from the fillies back sniffing the ground. "Umm, i think its on the other side of Ponyville.." He stated stretching out.

"Mm.. So I guess we go threw then? Going around would take way to much time.." Shadow thought out loud sitting down. "Well, I guess we need to stick to the shadows then!" She declared trotting into Ponyville, staying in the shadows and hidding as she made her way through the small town.
 
Scrumpy Jake picks himself up, realizing he is now by himself. "Ah, great. They went the other way. I'll catch up when I can." He. Heads through the center of town, headed towards his shop and farm at the edge of town. "Just check up on tha place, make sure things are alright."

((I'll step away from the group, see if I bump into anyone else.))
 
Never having been very patient, Midnight Storm had flown back to the main hall to see what was going on. She landed and looked around at the other ponies with her head held high.

"Ma'am, I saw you get hit by one of those jewel things. Are you OK? What was it like? I need to know." Midnight Storm looked down at the young colt, Little John or something, and looked at him for a moment, pondering her reply. She couldn't just tell him how hopeless it made her feel. That would make her sound weak. 'Heaven knows I'm anything but weak.'

"It was nothing, really," she said in the haughty voice she had come to use over the years, "Nothing I couldn't handle, that is." The truth was, it had effected her deeply, having reminded her of her depression when her family died. 'But I can't think on that now.'
 
"It was nothing, really, Nothing I couldn't handle, that is." The black pegasus replied.

Little James suddenly grew worried. He had saw her sloop to to the ground in defeat with his own two eyes. Something was wrong here. He had never seen her that much ether, and when she did, she was usually complementing herself on her looks. Maybe Nightmare Moon had called her ugly, Little James had figured. Then he flashed back to the fear inducing event. No, it was the pegasus who called Nightmare Moon ugly, not the other way around. Maybe she wanted to get back at Nightmare Moon anyway for kidnapping Princess Celestia? Then an idea popped into his head. If she said she wasn't hurt from that big jewel thing, maybe she was immune to Nightmare Moons magic, then maybe she could be a friend in his adventure...?

"I'm going to go save Princess Celestia! Want to come?" He said to the Pegasus. Surly with her, nothing the wicked mare could throw at them would stop James and his (potential) friend.
 
FrostBreeze wasn't this colt's mother, but she didn't want him in danger. "I must protest. It's very, very dangerous. Nightmare Moon's magic is dark and far too powerful for anypony to handle. We've seen that. All we can do is research and try to find a way to weaken her.", she said. She found her book and nosed it open. She flipped through the pages until she came to a part about Princess Celestia and Princess Luna. "So Nightmare Moon is really Princess Luna...maybe, no that wouldn't work....perhaps..no, that wouldn't work either...Aha! We have to somehow create sunlight. That's what weakens Nightmare Moon...but how are we going to make sunlight?", she said. She flipped throught her book, finding nothing. "Nuggets. Oh!", she said, quickly flying off to her home. She went through her books and found a book on Equestria legends. She flew back, landing neatly. She sat down and flipped through her book, which was big and very old. "Aha. It's said that there are some pegasus ponys that can create sunlight, however, these ponies are very rare and very secretive. Getting their help would be like trying to move a mountian.", she said.
 
Shadow snow let out a soft huff as she once again tripped over another freakign apple! Who just scaters them around on the ground, I mean SERIOUSLY! The unicorn looked about making sure no one was about before picking up all the apples and setting them back in their little shop area. The filly looked about noticing she was by a farm of some sort.

"Hmm.. I wonder who lives here.." The filly mumbled to herself turning to head off, noticing a rather large Stallion heading her way. Uh oh.. She thought to herself looking about for something to hide under.

The filly noticed an upturned trough and quickly hid under it, her tail barley poking out as she curled up under the trough waiting for the stallion to pass by.
 
Scrumpy Jake reaches his shop without incident. He looks around, nticing the area in disarray. "Grreat! Somethin' else ta deal with!" He starts picking up the area, tidying up. "Mumbles? Are ye here, lad?" No response, and Jake cleans a bit more. "Place 's a mess, probably ransacked. Useless!" He kicks an overturned trough, knocking it upright.

Jake sees the filly hiding under the trough. "Gah!" He steps back, momentarily frightened. What was that all aboot? Jus' a wee filly! He coughs twice, stepping forward. "Who are ye and what are ye doin' on me farm?"
 
"I must protest. It's very, very dangerous. Nightmare Moon's magic is dark and far too powerful for anypony to handle. We've seen that. All we can do is research and try to find a way to weaken her." Frostbreeze objected. Little James was somewhat frustrated as he shouted out in response, pointing at Midnight Storm:

"But she says that Nightmare Moon's magic doesn't affect her at all! I even saw he get hit by one of those Elements of Discord! That's what they're called, right?" As Frostbreeze flew off into her home, Little James turned back to Midnight Storm. At least he could try to persuade her... He wasn't going to let the chance of a lifetime vanish out from under his hooves.

"Will you please come with me? We could save all of Equestria together and it'll be so much fun and..." As it became obvious that the black pegasus was not going to budge, Little James turned to dirty tactics. He poked out his bottom lip and stared at er, in an attempt to make himself look as adorable as possible to her.
 
FrostBreeze simply snorted. "Listen. I saw what the Element of Dispair did to her. I'm usually the calmest pony around, and I raged. I created a snowstorm, releasing my rage and not harming any pony. Scrumpy Jake was cowering under a table. The Elements of Discord are not to be taken lightly.", she said. She sighed when Little James did his pouty thing. It got her every time, even though it wasn't directed at her. "I suppose there's no changing your mind. So, with that being said, I would like to help you in your adventure.", she said, swishing her tail.
 
Shadowsnow flicked her ears with a soft gulp, stepping back eyeing the stallion tilting her head to the right. Clearing her throught the filly stood tall and proud.

"I'm Shadowsnow and I kinda.. Got lost..." She smiled sheepishly acting coy. "I uhh.. Was looking for.." Thinks quickly. "The library?"

With a soft snort she looked down scraping her hoof on the ground glancing up at Scrumpy Jake before turning away. Skyler flicked his ears hiding behind Shadows leg with a soft growl flattening his ears in mock fright.
 
Scumpy Jake snorts in annoyance, looking down at the filly. She was young, and although he wasn't much taller than her, he decided to throw his weight around a little. Jake had never cared much for foals, and after this one had frightened him, (which confused and infuriated him to no end) he needed to release some pent up aggression. He stamps a hoof angrily, bringing it down right next to hers. "Lost? How did ye get lost? And why were ye goin' ta the library, espescially lookin' like that?" He gestures at her armor, genuine confusion in his eyes. "What kinda suit is that, anyway? Foals today have the weirdest sense o' fashion! And on top of it, the library's on tha other side o' town! I suppose ye'll need my help ta get there, won't ye?"

He sighs, glad to get rid of that aggression. He immediately regrets it, knowing that he shouldn't yell at a child, espescially not after tonight. "Ah, um. Sorry. It's just, been a rough day. What with the celebration, and Nightmare, and those Elements..." He shudders, remembering his fear. "I'm really sorry. Let me just grab somethin' from me shop, and I'll take ya to the library." He turns to enter his store, holding the door for her. "Ye want somethin'? A drink, perhaps? This is a beverage store." He forces a smile, which probably isn't very convincing, but at least he's trying to be nice.
 
Shadow Snow set a few coins on the counter with a slight nod. "T-thanks Sir.." She smiled politely to the stallion shaking her mane off. "T-though if you could just point me in the right d-direction.. I'm sure I-i'll find it.." the filly lowered her head stepping back. "N-no need to go to such e-extremes to show me around.. I'll be out of your mane"

The filly looked about then at her armor, watching it twinkle in the moonlight. Shadow let out a soft sigh as she wondered about her mission, where the heck did Dragon slayer live!! This was going to be a LOONG time.

Jake places a bottle on the counter near Shadow Snow. He looks at the coins, considering taking them. After a few seconds, he grabs them up, putting them in his cash box. The lass was willing ta pay, and I'm not gonna disagree. "Nonsense, lass." He puts on a pair of saddlebags, putting some bottles and foodstuffs in them. He grabs another bottle for himself, drinking half of it in one long gulp. "'Sides. I'm headed that way meself." He grabs the bottle in his teeth, speaking around the mouth. "Ah'd be happy ta take ye there."

After finishing the bottle, he tosses it in a nearby bin, then leads Shadow Snow to the door. "Don't worry, lass. I'll get ye where ye need ta be. Is there anyone in particular yer lookin' fer? I know a few ponies, an' meybe I can help ye find 'em." He gives her another grin, hoping that he can help her quickly and get rid of her.

((Neither of them want to be around each other, but Jake wants to make sure she gets somewhere safe. Oh, what wacky hijinks will ensue?))
 
"I'm going to go save Princess Celestia! Want to come?"

Before Midnight Storm could answer, A blue pegasus came over. "I must protest. It's very, very dangerous. Nightmare Moon's magic is dark and far too powerful for anypony to handle. We've seen that. All we can do is research and try to find a way to weaken her." She than started nosing through a book and muttering to herself. Midnight stared at her than turned back to the colt to answer him but she didn't get the chance.

"But she says that Nightmare Moon's magic doesn't affect her at all! I even saw he get hit by one of those Elements of Discord! That's what they're called, right?" The colt said. "Will you please come with me? We could save all of Equestria together and it'll be so much fun and..." He puckered his lips and put on a cute face. Midnight opened her mouth once again but the blue pegasus beat her to it.

"Listen. I saw what the Element of Dispair did to her. I'm usually the calmest pony around, and I raged. I created a snowstorm, releasing my rage and not harming any pony. Scrumpy Jake was cowering under a table. The Elements of Discord are not to be taken lightly," the pegasus, Midnight believed her name was Frostbreeze, said. "I suppose there's no changing your mind. So, with that being said, I would like to help you in your adventure."

Midnight Storm flicked her tail irritably. "I'll go if you insist," she said in her most annoyed tone of voice. 'Don't want to appear to eager,' she thought.
