Daze smiled at the duo, rolling her eyes. "Look, dude..ettes, me and my sister were hella little. Like, it was just after my sudden power surge to fly around like a bug and annoy my parents." The golden Pegasus was a really cute baby, and really pretty. Her mane stuck out like a sore thumb with her family, but her and her sister had a little resemblance. Not really now, but their appearance as foals was only slightly different. Okay.. maybe they didn't look too much alike, but they still looked like twins. Fraternal twins. Not identical. Either way, Daze was a super cute foal. The athlete smiled when she said her parents were probably pretty cool. "I guess you can say that." The mare shrugged, thinking about her family. "One does pest control, and the other is a makeup artist. My dad is incredibly loyal though, my mom on the other hoof.." Daze drifted off, thinking for a second. "She's.. something." Fast forward, the trio was in the comic. It was rainy, dark, and kind of cold, but Daze's stereotypical boy-ish outfit kept her warm. The other two seemed to be in character, which meant Daze had to start being in character as well. Her two friends were playing their roles perfect two, she was surprised they weren't actors. Then again, their characters kind of fit their original personalities. Maybe not Thrilly as much, but Knife's was kind of spot on. "Wow! That storm is quite powerful!" She mocked what her idea was as a 'boy voice', but her raspy tone already kind of fit the teenager type. "C'mon now! Let's get goin' to that mansion over there to get out of this storm!" The Pegasus quickly grabbed her 'little brother', and motioned to 'Boopsy' to start running out of the rain. Right then, ironically, lightening struck where they were just standing. 'Golly' made it to the front to the house without thinking twice, bravely and swiftly knocking on the large doors that towered over them. 'He' didn't even think about the scary look of the house, though on the inside, the real Pegasus was kind of really nervous. She couldn't be nervous though, that wouldn't be her character. So she sucked in her anxiety and knocked on the door even harder. "Hello? Anypony in there?" Suddenly, the big doors opened just slightly, and Golly just looked behind him to look at the other two. He cocked his eyebrow, smirking at them confidently. "Guess it's open to explore!" This character thing was seeming to be way more fun than Daze thought. So, she forced the two into the darkly lit mansion. "Gosh! It's kinda dark in here. Let's look for some lights." Golly flew into the air, searching for lights across the spider-webbed covered walls. He blindly searched for some sort of candle or for some matches, soon touching something quite.. different. Something he raised an eyebrow at. The large, pudgy thing could only be seen in an outline from an open window, and once another strike of lightening lit up the room, Golly was taken a back, but from curiosity. The creature seemed to be alive..

Alright, sounds good ^^

Haha, Finnie is a good listener, and wouldn’t mind about the boasting. What would the plot be, though? 🤔

Ohhhh, PyroBlaze haha. I already got somethin for Neb. Aww, he’s actually really cute! I bet they could just run into each other at the beach, and end up nerding out about the ocean or something.

I can surely agree with you there, haha. Most things seem to be in the same area, but either way it should work. What ideas were you thinking about for the RP, KaityKat?

Yeah, I don't know. 🤷‍♀️

Well, I got my map off the official one for the cannon of the show, and I did find Horseshoe Bay. It's right under Baltimare in the Celestial Sea, but we could use whatever map. For all my RPs though, I've used this one. Still, we could use the one for this site, and I can change the location, no worries at all^^

Rainbow: We can definitely start that RP soon. I’ll message you when I’m ready. I’m about to head off to bed haha Kaity: Thank you! Haha. I have like, a huge map of Equestria on my laptop, but I’m on my phone right now. I’m probably wrong, but I’m pretty sure it was in the southeast? I can check tomorrow.

As the title states, I have yet to RP with two of my characters: Sea F. Salt (More Commonly Finnie) And Nebulous Moon I'm up to anything with them! Neb and Finnie could use a little romance, or just some chill friends. I can put them up to random adventures too. Though I can be a little busy and take a little time to respond, I promise I'll get to it eventually! I just want to write my girls a little. To sum the two up if y'all don't wanna read their apps: Finnie: A very kind and quiet hippie who loves the ocean and what's in it. She's more commonly out in nature, or at the beach, taking in the view. Neb: A cocky, lazy bat who loves to flirt and have a little fun. She is a royal night guard, but secretly leaves her position to box in her underground seller.

Once it was dark in the room, the trio stared at the first page. There stood a huge house, which struck the dragon and cat as familiar. Daze just stared at it, tilting her head in confusion. She didn't really know what all they were talking about, until Thrilly brought up "Sploosh Mountain", and Daze couldn't help but let out an, "Ohhhhh." The other two talked about their memories at the amusement park, which made Daze's memories come back to her. "Celestia, I feel old. I haven't been to Coltifornia since I was a little foal. Me and my family went together, I'm pretty sure my mom was still pregnant with my little sister." The Pegasus shrugged, keeping her gaze on the creepy house. "I only remember going on Sploosh Mountain. Me and my twin rode that ride five hundred times before finally leaving. I don't think I went in that house, though." She let the two girls nerd out about the house, as she let out a chuckle. Suddenly, she felt something different. She looked down to find herself wearing odd clothing, definitely something she'd never wear. "A character, huh? Who am I being?" She let Thrilly answer, and the Pegasus just nodded her head. "Golly Hooves. That has a nice ring to it. And like- I'm already brave and totally not scared of anything, so that works out. And I'm pret-ty athletic, so this character fits me wonders." Daze let out a gigantic laugh when she heard what the little dragon was. "Ha! Guess this means I need to watch you at every second, huh? So you don't get your little butt in trouble? I'll just call you 'Brat' for short. Cool with you?" She didn't let the little dragon answer, before she said, "Good." The Pegasus thought she was done laughing, until she heard what Thrilly was being. Oh, man. This story was comedy gold. "Bwah! Hahaha, this is gonna be so awesome. You're my girl, and you're my little brother. This story is a gem." Daze held in most of her laughter, though, as Thrilly explained how they all needed to act. "The hero role is somethin' I can do. Easy." Her signature grin lit her face, as she raised her shoulders in braveness. "This will be a piece of cake. It doesn't even seem that scary. We just have to go kick some ghostly flank, and make sure none of us die. Just gotta play it safe- and stay in character." All three were ready, and soon enough, the athletic Pegasus found herself in an unfamiliar, dark place. This got her blood pumping though, as she realized they were finally in the comic.

For the first time in a while, the short earth pony felt safe. It felt like she was in that sand for over a year, and she was finally free. The dark brown dirt on the ground never comforted her more. The dirt coiled over her hooves in a nice warm hug, as it made her release the tension in her body. The trees surrounding her didn't seem to engulf her in something scary anymore, but it made her feel more safe and secluded. And for the first time, the comfort of other ponies around her seemed to feel like a miracle. She was finally out of that nasty sand. And now she wasn't going to make dumb decisions anymore. Hopefully. She gave her thanks, and watched as the deer began to get the same treatment she did. The deer was more calm it seemed like, but Ali wasn't used to staying in these woods in the dark. She would probably be asleep in her warm tent by now, safe and snug in a sleeping bag. Instead, she was stuck out in the middle of the dark forest, trying to catch a huge monster that was terrorizing the forest. The group never seemed to catch a break. The brown pony kept her distance from the duo getting the deer out, and stood snug next to Sombra. They weren't touching or anything, but she was close to him. The mare didn't feel like standing by herself anymore. She wanted company. Once the deer got out of the sand, the tension in the air seemed to lift. The air was more clear, and Ali could feel her shoulders relaxing. "Well, that's enough drama for tod-" she was caught off by something near her struggling to a breath. The tension rose up again, and Ali's ears struck right up into the air after non of the group knew where Apple Bloom was. "Y'all are tellin' me you don't know where the little filly is?" Ali's heartbeat pumped a little faster, when she heard something struggling again. She searched around the forest with her sea green eyes, looking for the noise. That's when she heard Fluttershy yell out. Alizarin's head whipped around when she saw the yellow filly, crawling out of a bush and gasping for air. Ali reacted rather quickly, sprinting over to the filly. Her eyes searched the filly up and down, her pupils growing smaller in a panic. "Basilisk. That's basilisk venom!" She knew the look of this venom all too well, as her cousin got caught one time. She knew it was never safe to roam around this deep into the woods without somepony else. She wished the filly knew that too. Ali didn't want to seem like she cared all too much, but this was serious. "Somepony get somethin' to help her! Quick! Ah think she's lost her consciousness!"

Bell felt like there was a little fly swarming around her, and she just wanted to swat away. It was like the fly was hitting her in the face and sticking in her perfectly styled mane. She'd use her magic to poof this little sucker away, but she didn't know the spell for that. Who did these days? She figured out this little mutt of a pony was the annoying little fly. Even just the way the pegabat was looking at her, the pink unicorn just wanted to vomit. Like, actually vomit. She'd vomit her dinner from the night before all over the ground. She was holding in her gag. Just the look from this pony made her cider taste soiled. "I don't need to sip-" she stopped herself from losing it. There were so many ponies around, she couldn't just take out this.. creature with her words. So, all Bell did was lift the bottom of the mug up and take a swing of the sweet drink. It did calm her down a bit, but she felt so uncomfortable. Who did this pony think she was? This wasn't the country where all the lunatics ran about. Wait. This was the country. Bell let out a soft groan, holding in what she could from the sudden realization. This stuff was probably going to happen. A freaky weirdo would come over and antagonize her wonderous beauty. This poor, poor girl. Reckless's question left Bell trying not to spit her drink out. The unicorn took a big gulp, and looked anywhere but the mare in front of her. "Yeah- it's pretty- sophisticated for such a dirty location." Her voice quivered with the word "dirty", as she finally looked at the pony in front of her. Bell just gave a small smile, her deep blue pupils growing smaller as she noticed the pegabat was staring right at her. She was confident, and Bell couldn't handle it. She cleared her throat, looking back at the sky. She had to be nice, she had to be nice, she had to be nice... "So- you try any of this cider yet?"

Bell was loving the attention she got from such a handsome stallion. Something about him made her heart flutter, maybe because she knew he was some kind of royalty. Though she couldn't fit a name onto him, the way he talked seemed higher than normal pony folk. She knew a high class pony when she saw one. She wasn't an idiot, a fraud. She knew who she was talking to. "Why, you're not too shabby yourself." She fluttered her eyes, bringing a small smile across her face. "Ah, yes, that's right. Prince Blueblood. How quaint to meet you." She gave a smile again, noticing the line become more of a blob. "Well, I hope your duties well. Hopefully we can meet again, yes?" Fast forward.. After she got her cider, she looked at the little filly with a sparkle in her eyes. "That sounds very.. appetizing!" Bell grinned, grabbing the cider with her magic. She then hunched over, acting like she dropped something. "If only I could understand this little spec of mud- She sounds like she was raised by farm animals," she whispered to herself under her breath, very unlikely anypony heard her. "Thank you, again, little one!" The unicorn trotted away with her cider, leaving room for the next ponies up to try some. She looked around, making sure she wasn't just awkwardly standing by herself, and took a quick swig. The cider was very smooth, and very tasty. Bell actually thought it was the best drink she's ever had, and that says a lot. It was sweet, and tasted fresh and homemade. It probably was fresh and homemade. Now, the pink unicorn actually thought this was time well spent, until somepony came up to her. A black blur swooped in next to her, making Bell jump a little in shock. The mare looked incredibly athletic, grey and pink, didn't look 100% pony. Bell scrunched up her nose, trying to hold in the squeal she had in her. She didn't want this thing approaching her. The unicorn was picky with the ponies she talked too, and this was the main reason. The only thought that ran through her head was that some weird dirty half-pony got enough courage to talk to a gorgeous specimen like herself. There were so many ponies around her though, she couldn't be anything but nice. Bell took another sip, looking away then looking back at the grey mare. "Hello, there." Was all she said, as she gulped down another sip. 'Stay calm, stay calm, stay calm'....

~Basics~ Roleplay Type: WoE Name: Nebulous MoonNicknames: Neb, Moony, Nebby Sex: Female (her/she)Age: Younger MareSpecies: Bat PonySexual Orientation: Lesbian ~Physical Attributes~ Eye Color: Indigo/Purple Character Color: Dark Grey Mane/Tail: Her mane and tail are very messy and spikey, very unkept. It's kept short though, and is mainly purple. She has large orange highlights with a hint of yellow. Physique: She's a little shorter than most (not as short as Alizarin Fruits), but is pretty muscular. Extra: She wears earrings and wraps around her forelegs. Cutie Mark: Description: A yellow moon with a black trail behind it. The trail has stars in it. Story: Neb was out with a friend, who was very interested in boxing. The small bat pony was immediately interested, and tried it out. Fast forward, she ends up actually being really good and notices how passionate she is about fighting. Sure, all the guard work made her a better athlete, but she just loved boxing. She got her cutie mark not too long after kicking her friend's butt, when she realized this was what she wanted to do with the rest of her life. It was a moon and a shadow behind it. The moon is herself, and the shadow is how dark and quick she is at moving. Her dad could never know her actual talent, so she just says she got it after a long, hard workout with him, just to keep him satisfied. ~Outside Information~ Family: Dad (Bat Pony): Dark Sky, Little Sister (Bat Pony): Starry Moon Occupation: Royal Guard/Boxer Residence: She lives in a small apartment next to the Canterlot Castle. ~Characteristics~ Character Personality: Nebulous Moon is a cocky, confident, flirty gal who loves the anticipation of danger. She's a totally reckless mare, and generally doesn't think before she does something. She's lazy when it comes to her work, and sleeps on the job most of the time. It's something about the night that makes her relaxed, and she just doesn't want to stay awake all night. She's favored though, as her dad was a captain, which is the only reason she got in. Neb takes this for granted, and does whatever she wants. So, she runs a little fight club during the late night to keep herself awake. She doesn't take responsibility for things, and can be deemed rather childish. She'd rather crack jokes than be serious, which causes her to get in a lot of trouble. Neb is one for the ladies, and has a certain charm to her that's different from everypony else. Maybe it's just the way she smiles, with her long fangs, or the way she doesn't care what others think. Who knows, but she's one for some fun. Neb is a total party animal. Unique Traits: She's a very fast and agile athlete, who is really good with reaction times. She's great at sports. Neb also has longer fangs than the average bat pony. History: Neb was born in a late fall, right before Nightmare Night. She was a fuzzy little baby, who loved all the attention she got from her father. He always wanted a kid to follow in his hoof steps. Her mom though, was a total mystery, as she left right after Neb was born. Her father wasn't as heartbroken though, their relationship wasn't always the best. All he focused on was little baby Neb, and how much she was going to be a powerhouse in the guard industry. Growing up, Neb was a total tomboy and loved getting down and dirty. She'd always go play sports with all the other little colts, normally in the middle of the night when all the filly and colt bat ponies came together. She was always a favorite to play with, as her confidence was higher than most younglings. She was talented with sports, and quick to react to things, which proved worthy for her talent. Throughout school, she was a jock, and she definitely wanted to follow in her dad's hoof steps. The thing was though, she knew she didn't have to work hard to get in. Neb was smart, and knew for a fact she'd get in solely by her father's name. That surely was the case, as right after her dad remarried and had another daughter, Neb was already in training and in the top of her class. After getting her cutie mark for boxing, though, she began fighting a lot more without her dad knowing. He was busy with her little sister, after all. Then he was busy with yet another divorce. It didn't take long for her to join the ranks, and she was a guard, a really lazy, too cocky for her own good, guard. At least her father was happy by this. She keeps herself contained by a secret fight club in a dark seller below the Canterlot Castle. A little growing up photo for reference: Character Summary: Neb is a silly trouble maker, who loves the limelight in the boxing ring, but is lazy in her real job.

Daze flew above the three, staring at the little colt who held a bunch of horror comics, all different levels of scary. She was about to grab the whole pile, until he already grabbed one as her two friends were a cat and a baby dragon. Perfect, a little colt was telling two adults, and a dragon, what they could read. The Pegasus just kept her mouth shut though, as she hung her shoulders slightly lower than they were in defeat. She was going to be stuck with some dumb little kid's comic, and wouldn't be able to actually be scared. At this point, she would rather be stuck in some romance comic, with some dude who probably was perfect in everyway, but Daze wasn't into dudes. That would be awkward. Finally, Daze had to say something about the comic, "Look- little dude. I ain't about to hop into some weirdo little kid's comic that's full of rainbows and lollipops when I can get eaten by a zombie in another comic, so-" she was cut off when there suddenly was a collision in front of her. Her eyes widened, then she couldn't help but let out a chuckle when she noticed it was her clumsy little cat friend. Thrilly ended up picking up the comic, and as Track left the three of them alone, Daze flew right by the feline. "Nice job wavering off that guy! I thought we were gonna get stuck in some filly cartoon. No thanks to that." The Pegasus turned to Knife with a huge grin on her face. "That little colt really thought you were a baby, huh? I know you're tougher than some little kid who reads about Lickety-Split and 'Sugarland'. I bet you won't even get scared with the real stuff we're doing." Daze watched as her feline friend pulled out a different comic, a comic Daze could definitely wrap her head around. "Now that's perfect. I think there's a place across the hallway for us to- y'know- get in some bloody action." The Pegasus began to fly down the hall, looking for an opening of seats and tables. When she spotted a spot, she led the group to the first table she saw. "Okay, hand me that comic and let's get going."

The gorgeous mare was fixated on her mane when she heard a deep, confident voice. The voice was rather familiar, something she's heard before. Her eyes caught him curiously, his tall stature barely taller than her own. He was muscular, with a beautifully flowy mane that she really admired. He was blonde, which really came off as a normal royal color, as with his bright white coat. The mare was fascinated by him, even just from the first look. He probably had a million mares all over him. She could completely understand that, but she did have a little self control. She looked at him with a glint of curiousness in her eyes, "Ah- why yes! You've probably seen me before. I'm the one and only, Bellissima Stella." She went and bowed traditionally, like a normal sophisticated mare would. Bell was proper, and respectful, only at first though. "You look familiar yourself, yes?" She looked ahead, as the line in front of her started moving. Everypony seemed to be enjoying each other on the farm, as Bell would expect in Ponyville, or close to Ponyville. This seemed to be the friendliest place in Equestria after all, or so she's heard. She wasn't keen on such positivity, as she grew up solo and only knew how to rely on herself. Bell was used to all the conversation around her though, as everywhere she went there seemed to be a group of ponies around her. The pink unicorn was keen on attention. Anyhow, the line was moving rather quickly, and faster than she was aware, she was already in the front of the line. Then there stood a little yellow earth pony, who looked to be rather excited to see her. Bell shrugged at her optimism, then smiled at herself for the sudden attention she was receiving. The little filly began talking, which made Bell nod her head. "Hello, there. I'm glad to be here!" The unicorn then put on the fakest, largest smile she could muster. "I couldn't dare not show up for this cider! I heard it was the best in Equestria, anyhow." The slender unicorn went for her bag, pulling out four bits: two for the cider, and two as a tip to the little filly. Surely the tip would keep the little filly satisfied with how amazing Bell is, surely. She used her magic to levitate the bits into the pile, and she looked at Apple Bloom with a smile. "That will be enough, yes? Surely it shall."

Bellissima Stella: talented, beautiful, and had a heart of gold and a kind soul. Ha! Maybe half of those are correct. This popstar princess was all looks and no personality, but most didn't know that. It took a while for anypony to actually catch onto her snooty, cocky self. This mare wasn't one to mess with, yet with her popularity growing, one did not look at her for her personality, but her talent. And she knew that. Why would a growing singer be stuck in a line waiting for some high class cider, though? Who knew. But there Bell was, sleeping peaceful in her very large tent, behind a couple ponies and griffons in line. The sky was clear, and the sun had just risen over the shelter she had made with a quick spell. She remembered she didn't really speak to anypony the night before as she set up her tent. The tall unicorn knew though in the morning she'd have to talk to somepony, because this was Ponyville. Ponyville met ponies liked to make friends. Bell wasn't much for friends, and that could be a problem. The high class unicorn already rehearsed what she'd say in the morning though, probably a few times over. She'd smile, flutter her long lashes, and tell everypony a good morning. Seemed easy enough. Maybe somepony would recognize her, hopefully. She loved the attention. But this wasn't about her, it was about the cider. She heard from countless news papers that it was cider season, and she wanted to put her own opinion in. Apple family cider. Bell loved cider herself, it was sweet and juicy. Her favorite fruit was apples anyway, so it made sense. There was no class on a tree farm, but she could deal with it. She didn't need marble floors and chandeliers to be happy- though, it would make her a little less grossed out from the dirty ground. The pink unicorn woke up quite late, later than everypony else. The mare needed her beauty sleep after all. A tired Bell was a grumpy Bell, and no pony needed that. So, when she woke up, she slowly got herself out of her sleeping bag and grabbed a hairbrush to get all the tangles out from her very long, colorful wavy mane. As she was brushing herself out, she heard creatures talking from outside. Bell knew she should probably go outside now. The mare trotted to the front of her tent and zipped it open, peeking her head out and looking around. She squinted from the sudden brightness, groaning as it shocked her eyes. "Why doesn't the sun ever warn precious 'ol me? It could blind any poor onlooker trying to get some sunshine!" Her nose scrunched up, bringing her whole body out of the tent and setting her hooves on the dirty ground. "Elch! Who dares live on this filth?" she questioned quietly to herself, huffing then turning towards the voices near her. She then put the fakest smile on her face. "Good morning, everypony! How are we all this kind morning?"

The comic shop was way busier than the mare expected. Species of all kinds were all around the large shop, looking at all the goodies and toys and comics. The inside of it looked straight out of a children's book. Everything was so colorful and bright, it kind of made Daze smile. When she was a little 'ol fluffy filly, she loved going to places like these. Her dad would take her and her sisters to pick out a toy, and Daze would always come out with some stuffed animal. The trio were immediately met with a cute little brown Pegasus colt, who seemed like the nerdy type to be working in a store like this. The tan Pegasus raised her eyebrow about the idea of a colt working, and as she was about to say something about it, he interrupted her. Well, that answered her question. Sooner or later, they were at the entrance of a long hallway. Daze was barely off the ground and she floated above the ground, looking around with her curious golden eyes. "Ha! Is this hallway supposed to intimidate us?" The little colt began to tell them about all the different types of comics, and Daze just said, "Horror, we're lookin' for something terrifying." They ended up in front of a door with a little icon showing a grave, which made Daze's mind run from questions. "A grave, huh? Is this one gonna try and literally kill us the whole time? Or scare us until our hearts give out? Because that sounds like a challenge to me." The smirk on Daze's face grew largely, as she floated next to the door and looked at the other two. "We going in this one? It seems the most out there."

Ali's little heart started to beat a little less hard, as she saw her companion of a red guard fly above her with a long, strong rope. Her trust in the Pegasus grew, as she really knew there was no other way of getting out of the thick goop. Her attention only focused on getting out at this point, otherwise she'd be stuck there forever. Ali never liked the idea of getting help from others, but this was a circumstance she never thought she'd get herself in. Poor, ignorant, Ali. "You best hurry up now. Seems like you're takin' your sweet time." The earth pony looked up at the Pegasus, who was circling around the stuck mare. Finally, the rope reached down enough for Ali to grab it strongly with her teeth, and she began moving ever so slowly out of the sand. Her grasp on the rope started to hurt her jaw, she was clenching it so hard. She was so tense, as she felt her whole body shaking, itching to get out. She wanted to feel the safety of her group members around her, when she wasn't scared for her life. Ali even forgot about the deer. The earth pony was reaching closer and closer to the crystal, the only dark thing protruding from the ground. Sombra looked to be standing on it, which gave Ali the confidence to get her leg out and reach for the stallion. The brown mare was so desperate to get out of the sand, she would do anything to get out. So, when she finally got a grasp of his hoof, the sudden wash of relief came over her. Before she knew it, she was out of the sand and tumbling into the arms of Sombra. She stayed there for a second, thinking about everything that happened, then she hopped off when she realized she was on him. Ali looked up, totally covered in the sand, and shouted, "Er- thanks for gettin' me out." That was probably the nicest thing she's said to anypony, as she kept a grumpy look on her face. Then she turned to Sombra. "Thanks." Suddenly, the mare turned around to see Fluttershy hovering over the deer, who still seemed to be frightened. Then she realized something, there was only four of them. "Y'all, where's the little yellow one at?"

Shot was still itching with excitement. She didn't really know what she was the most excited about, watching the fillies pass, or helping the fillies pass. Everything seemed so entertaining to her. Maybe because this all was soccer related and she loved the sport all too much. Either way, she was pumped up. The yellow earth pony grabbed her ball and kicked it towards Thunder's ball. They were probably gonna end up passing there, so she just followed along with her Wonderbolt friend. She sprinted towards the couple of balls, letting all the fillies get their partners and balls. "I know passing is generally a one ball type deal, but we're going to do some juggling and shooting next so make sure everypony has one!" she yelled as her quick hooves chased after her ball. The mare was faster on hoof than most pegasi were in the air. She got her ball, letting the kids regroup and come closer. Thunderlane was standing in front of her, as Shot grabbed her ball and tossed it in the air. As it floated for a quick second, she began to talk. "Passing is one of- or let's say- the most important thing to learn in soccer." The ball landed on her nose, then she flicked it up into the air again. "Passing helps the ball get around the defenders and up the field. You want the ball to do all the work, not you." The white ball landed onto her front hoof, and so she began to juggle it with her front legs and her back legs, which kinda looked really cool. "With enough practice, you can do things like this!" Shot stopped juggling and placed the ball down in front of her. "The main rules are simple, no wings, no magic, and you cannot pick up the ball with you hooves whatsoever. Keep the ball on the ground. These are very important to know throughout the game." She then simply passed the ball to Thunderlane with her front hoof, a perfect pass. The ball went back and forth a few times with ease, and Shot finally stopped it. "Any questions? If not, you guys can start!"

Panic was written all over the poor farm pony's face. She didn't care if she looked scared anymore, she didn't care if her stone cold face showed any other emotion. Ali just wanted out of the quicksand as fast a possible, but her panicking did no good for her or the deer next to her. It was dark, cold, and the only thing she could really see was her small candle and the group of ponies around her. The only thing the brown and cream earth pony could think was how much she wanted to be saved, even if she didn't trust these ponies. Did she not trust them, though? The small gal kept wiggling, getting deeper and deeper into the gooey sand, which slowly engulfed her in it's wrath. Her heartbeat was faster than a cheetah at this point, and she couldn't stop yelling random words, until the young little Apple Bloom walked right up to her. Before then, Ali watched as Sombra made a large crystal appear in front of her, making her pupils grow smaller. The big 'ol thing protruded right in front of her, making her teal green eyes stare at the odd use of magic. Apple Bloom began to talk to her, and Ali's stubbornness made her move even faster. "Ah'm literally almost neck deep in this goop and you think not movin' will do anythin'? I need out of here!" The little filly kept talking though, which soothed Ali's temperament. She stopped moving all together, which slowed down the sinking immensely. A flash of an idea popped in her head, something that probably wouldn't have happened without the little fillies help. And maybe the little drink she had earlier helped too, but she thought she could trust this ponies. That idea only popped in for a few seconds, but maybe these ponies weren't that bad. Soon the little yellow filly was gone, and the only thing Ali could do was look up at the red captain above her. All four of Ali's legs were stuck in the sand, mainly her back ones, and even with small movements she couldn't get them out. The black crystal was right there to grab, but of course she couldn't reach it. "Just gimme the rope! Just gimme the rope!" She tried to get her front hooves free, as she slowly sunk a little more. Ali was panicking again, as another thump shook the trees. "Please! I really don't wanna die today." She looked around, searching for Apple Bloom and Fluttershy. The sweet Pegasus was tending to the deer, and the filly was no where.

The trio stood at the edge of the road for what seemed like forever. Daze just kept her golden eyes on the sun, watching it tick by with all the passing seconds. She kept in her head, mostly thinking about what this store would look like. It was either going to look really creepy, or really silly. She was very curious to see, and was met with relief when the taxi showed up in front of them. Thrilly did the talking to the cab driver, as the Pegasus hopped into the taxi. She sat at the edge, looking around the town as the thing with wheels began to drive them to their destination. "Let's definitely do horror first. That sounds the most appealing." She then glanced at the little dragon, smirking. "Romance, huh? We can do that second." They finally made their way to the comic shop, which looked pretty silly and basic for Daze's standings. "This doesn't really look like the place for like- haunted things. It looks kinda- fake?" The Pegasus hopped off the taxi, turning around and saying her thanks. She waited for the other two, then flew towards the door. "This doesn't look too promising, but I see a crap ton of ponies in the store. It must be popular then, yeah?"

Sounds good!!
