(my first idea for the island)

hmm, i'm thinking a lush jungle or forest island inhabited by Deer and Zebras, very defend-able, with the north and east sides of the island made up of ridges and bluffs, covered in forestry all the way to the edge, some roots even hanging down. the west beach would be huge and open while ths south beach would be protected by jagged rocks that a large ship would be unable to navigate through.

at the center of the island there is a sparkling lake, fed by a water fall. next to it is a shrine that the deer kin hold sacred, many of the two tribes young play and swim in that lake.

the deer village is made up of huts, tree houses and hollowed out trees, leaving them protected by the natural canopy and forestry. while the zebras have found a large meadow to make their home by growing many of the plants needed for their potions and elixers.

near the north east out cropping there is a cave that leads to an under ground chasm, it's right under the lake and shrine.

to the south west there is a cove, it hidden well and hard to find.

maybe somewhere we could stick a temple or something

what should we name it (i'm thinking we name it after the island, so we need to come up with an island name)

to answer cainiam's questions in order: yes, i don't know yet, i encourage it, and probably.

and to dusk " who doesn't love being EBILLLL!"

stranded pirate(s), maybe a few natives, some sea ponies near by, burred treasure, or a cursed temple. maybe a joining of unlikely allies to fight off a baddie while fixing up the ship so they can leave the island, Pierce and Zou's ship can hold up to 9 peeps comfertably

question is, would we keep it in the main rp thread or make it a side story thread?

oh I got it! side story! with Zo and Pierce out and about, they can sail to an island and ya'll can have characters on that island and we can have an adventure! that way the rp keeps going while we wait for talex

*sits down and waits quietly*

we just gotta wait for talex i guess

things seem to have slowed down again

Wait, I could've had a poll? >#<

Soul flare chuckled[colour=#b22222] "well, that explains why a the navy would aid a common pirate, I wonder hat so important about this infor mation"[/colour] he fixed up his mane as he listened to them talk.[colour=#b22222] [/colour][colour=#b22222]'who's giving off the oversized aura? its powerful with just enough style to catch even my attention. must be the capt[/colour][colour=#b22222]ain'[/colour] soul thought before giving a small snicker[colour=#b22222] 'me hearts all a flutter, a type of pony like this that is down right nostalgic'.[/colour]

Soul placed a hoof over the pocket he held his book in and let out a sigh, then looked at the door again. [colour=#b22222]'fist mate isn't bad either'[/colour][colour=#b22222] [/colour]he thought then looked up at his horn,[colour=#b22222] 'I'm getting pretty good with this aura stuff, it's gotta be because i can't use my magic'[/colour] this thought brought a smile to his face. atleast his damaged horn had some benifit.

Meanwhile on the high seas, Pierce and Zo sat under the sails looking up at the sky, zo had a odd plant in his hooves. it was orange and had a dim light glowing with in it, he held it up in different directions, until the light flickered slighly. Zo smiled at the change in the plants routine and nodded for pierce to grab the wheel and turn the ship.

(soul listens in on the conversation between the ponies near his cell door, while pierce and zo seem tobe taking directions from a glowing plant.)

Soul snickered "[colour=#b22222]well i guess with all that damage to your ship you would need all the bits you could get your hooves on"[/colour]. He sat dow on his bed and tapped his horn,[colour=#b22222] 'darn it, i wish zo was here, he'd be able to fix this better than anypony.'[/colour]

he frowned and looked back towards the door [colour=#b22222]"but really black mane, what my bounty matter?"[/colour]

[colour=#b22222]'black mane?'[/colour] soul thought as he heard a voice. yep, that was him alright. Soul flare regretted the door between him, he wanted to find something to throw at the pirate captain, maybe a pillow. He rolled his eyes, he didn't have much of a personal vendetta against the stallion, just didn't like him, something about black mane rubbed soul the wrong way.

[colour=#b22222]'his aura is out of whack'[/colour]

Soul got as close to the door as his restraints would allow, a smile creeping over his face[colour=#b22222] "well, i could tell you, but why should I? whats got you interested in a book you probably wouldn't be able to understand?"[/colour]

(it's a short post [sorry about that] of soul responding to black mane)

Pierce and Zo were anything but delighted with the agreement and their armaments remained at the ready despite it all. They showed no intimidation or hesitation in the face of the ponies they we’re up against.

Pierce growled as the large pony invaded his personal space, pointing his crossbow at the large pony’s body and preparing to bring them both to an end.

[colour=#b22222]“Percival!”[/colour] Soul’s voice rang out to the griffin “[colour=#b22222]I thought I told you to trust me!”[/colour]

The griffin shot his captain a glare but backed off slightly, [colour=#006400]“come on Zo, let’s get out of here”[/colour] he said with a hint of defiance. Pierce stepped passed the large pony shooting him one final glance of malicious intent before he and zo retreated to their ship.

[colour=#b22222]“don’t worry boys, I’ll see you again. Keep your sails clean[/colour]” soul gave them those words before they departed down to their ship and got hoisted their anchor.

Soul was left with powder and the Sargent, he ignored black powder for the most part, but did give his thanks to the old Pegasus a for the kind gesture,[colour=#b22222] “…But I have to go with them now.[/colour]”

The red stallion glared at the naval pony asking for his book,[colour=#b22222] “where it goes I go, besides the book and I are more valuable as a set” [/colour]Soul smirked at the Sargent and patted his pocket. [colour=#b22222]“Shall we shove off then?”[/colour] he asked as lifted his hoof to gesture for the navy ponies to lead the way.

It wasn't long before Soul flare found himself on a navy ship and being escorted to a cell. He didn't mind being imprisoned on the fancy ship. Soul even had a smug little smile on his muzzle as he walked inside his new’ personal quarters’ .[colour=#b22222]“Nice place ya got here, tell your captain I give my respects.”[/colour] He said with a chuckle, sitting down and asking a good look around the room.

[colour=#b22222]“although you might want to mention how rude it was that he didn't greet us personally~”[/colour] the red stallion added playfully as the door closed and locked.

(Zo and pierce leave while soul lets him self be taken, refusing to let the book do on the ship without him)

i'm in the middle of class right now, i'll post in a bit

needs a poll

wow you guys were on a roll today

The smoke cleared and Zo had a small bag in his teeth and in his hoof, a strange spiky red fruit. he glared at the Sargent, not about to back down just because it was a navy officer he was up against.[colour=#daa520] " Me and my comrades are not of the pirate brood..."[/colour] Zo said through clenched teeth.

[colour=#006400]"yeah we prefer being called adventurers....dude"[/colour] Pierce chimed in, attempting to finish the rhyme. the griffin the hissed and barred his talons, ready to shred the over sized pony before him. [colour=#006400]"just try and take us, ya hay chewin' salt lickers.[/colour]"

Soul Flare shielded his face with his hoof as Black powder set off his blast, rolling his eyes at the pirate's actions "well that wasn't a very good show, he should have stayed and fought along side us." the crimson stallion then shook his head [colour=#B22222]"ah well[/colour]". Soul looked up at the ponies around him [colour=#b22222]"is this really necessary we only came to save the girl Black Mane grabbed. I didn't even know she was a pirate. "[/colour] Soul flare was putting on his best negotiation facade, trying to talk his way out of all this. in his head he knew this had gone too far south, but maybe he could pull a positive out of all this.

Soul spoke to one of the muskette carrying ponies [colour=#b22222]" tell your captain to let my zebra and griffin companions go, they have done no wrong act this day, Captain black mane gave no indication that this ship belonged to the navy. If he wants to bring some one from my crew in, he can have me"[/colour] soul sighed as he let the last sentence escape him.

Zo and Pierce spoke in unison "[colour=#DAA520]W[/colour][colour=#006400]H[/colour][colour=#DAA520]A[/colour][colour=#006400]T[/colour][colour=#DAA520]![/colour][colour=#006400]?[/colour][colour=#DAA520]![/colour]"

Soul took a deep breath, attempting to ignore his friends, and the fizzling fuse black mane held in his hoof. [colour=#b22222]"If my memory serves, there is a bounty for my capture an safe return to The Sparkle Star Nebula Magic Academy, along with a book i took from their archives "[/colour] he dug into his vest and pulled out a ratty old looking book, about the size of a small pocket book and covered in magic symbols[colour=#b22222] "here I am and here is the book, in exchange for my friends freedom and safe passage to the nearest land mass for docking, I'll come along quietly and they will leave you alone."[/colour] he put the book away [colour=#b22222]"or we can fight and your captain can explain to the princess herself why the book is destroyed, i'm dead and your crew looks like they wen't through Tartarus and back."[/colour]

[colour=#b22222]"what do you say? or maybe you should bring a ranking officer here and I'll discuss it with him" [/colour]he shot the pony a glare, attempting to get his way by seeming like enough of a threat that the deal would be the more beneficial route.

((i feel like i overstepped some where in this post, if i did then it's my bad, I just trying to move things along a little since we seem to have his a snag..))

((also yes i know the academe's name is silly, i thought it up on the thought, and am willing to change it))

looks like i haven't missed anything actally

SUPER SORRY GUYS! we didn't pay our cable bill so our internet got shut down.

What did I miss?

Oh Sleek... Why are you so damned useless!!

because she's tied up

Soul clicked his hoof on the deck impatiently [colour=#b22222]"now your just staling." [/colour]he said [colour=#b22222]"you'd get caught up in the blast to, and your in no condition to take something like that on the chin."[/colour]

pierce couldn't give his two sense as he was still stuck with the nameless members of black manes crew, spending most of his mental time wondering why he was alone in this little tussle.

[colour=#b22222]"I don't care what your deal with this guy is, We're taking that girl and treating her wounds."[/colour] soul chipped horn sparked as it tried to light up in response to his emotions, making the unicorn wince. The Crimson captain picked up a sword and prepared to the next round[colour=#b22222] "now stand aside, I have a life to save"[/colour]

Zo flinched and tossed some powder from his bag onto the chopped up plants, the vines regrowing quickly enough to grab the bomb and supress the explosion, but it cost them their short lives. The zebra seemed to feel sorry for his destroyed plants, a look of sadness flashing across his face. His expression then became cold as he glared at black mane, wanting to launch an attack but fearing that he would put sleek in danger. Zo then over heard his captain and smirked[colour=#daa520] "Well if there is a life at stake, there are many more risks i'm willing to take."[/colour] he then pulled out a grassy ball with a blue hue to it, tossing it to the ground and covering the area around him in smoke.

(i think with all the skills and character Zo and pierce have, i should make them profiles)

for a second i thought it was soul.

sorry about not posting today, it was ...complicated

Zo drew back, confused as to why he was covered in blood yet felt no pain. he backed up further, attempting to retreat from Black mane, dropping the grass spheres i the process. they fell to the ground as the zebra stared down the insane looking pony captain.

on impact the grass split and roots dug into the deck of the ship. the three spheres each erupted into a mass of flailing and tangling tentacle like vines, thrashing and grasping around for something to in snare. The fines seemed to ignore Zo and focus in on black mane, the closest thing to them.

Pierce had a look off annoyance on his face, not a look of worry or rage. he pushed a random pony to the ground and aimed his crossbow. he fired off and arrow that whizzed by Black powders head and fell over the side of the ship. the arrow had a rope attached to it, that the griffin tied around the pony he had shoved. [colour=#006400]"....just how long...." [/colour]he lifted the pony over his head [colour=#006400]"...DO YOU PLAN ON SWIMMING DOWN THERE!?!"[/colour] he yelled as he tossed the pony over the other side of the boat.

the rope went tight and began to move until the other was lowered into the water and soul flare climbed back onto the railing, an arrow in his teeth. [colour=#b22222]"Well...that was refreshing and painful at the same time. I got saltwater in my cut."[/colour] he was still tired and sore but the cold ocean water had given soul a small second wind. he stared down black powder [colour=#b22222]"now how about you go see that medic of yours while I do what i came here to do"[/colour] he then glanced over towards sleek as he spoke.

((Soul flare and his crew are like the ponyfied child of the Straw-hats, the den-liner crew, and the gokaigers))

[colour=#006400]"Soul!"[/colour] pierce called out to his captain as he struffled to fire off one of his last few arrows.

as the light faded and soul opened his blurred eyes, his body screamed for him to stop, but he still struggled to stand. as his vision cleared he saw Powder getting closer, prompting the unicorn to try harder, he had all four hooves planted as was a fourth of the way up when black powder got to him. he glared at the one eyed pegasi in defiance.

Soul flare didn't flinch at the blade, but was caught off guard by Powder's words. he hesitantly took the pegasus' hoof, standing up slowly.
