Smartbrony

(Yeah, that's probably best.)

(Great! )

(Yeah, you can bring in another character. Also, I don't mind if you call me Smartie, but bear in mind that Smarties aren't chocolates. )

(Of course we don't mind! )

(Well, I don't mind playing multiple OCs, but I think getting more people would be better.)

(Oh ho ho! And rescue missions! I know Hammer's wife and daughter were captured.)

(I don't know. Not really sure how to continue this rp. Or where it'll go, for that matter.)

(Okie dokie Loki!)

"Um, well..." Sky wasn't sure how to answer the question, "It'll be like stepping into a warm bath. It might sting for a bit, until you warm up." Sky had never really been good at reassuring ponies. "Other than that, it shouldn't."

"Yes, this should do nicely," Sky said, tossing in a few leaves. A few seconds after the leaves landed on the surface, the water began to bubble and turn green. Sky thought he would explain what was happening while they waited. "The dry leaves have an exothermic reaction with the water, which releases the healing nutrients from the leaf. It also heats up the water, so don't worry about cold water Silver." Sky smiled at Silver, and the bubbling began to die down.

"Alright then. Uh, Silt, you should probably lead. You know the way, after all." Sky reasoned.

(Well, there really hasn't been a posting order, I just post when I feel like it's my turn.)

(Yeah, it still feels really overboard.)

(I feel like you're overdoing it again housin.)

(Sorry guys, I'm still here. Just don't get notifications like I should sometimes.)

Hammer could feel his jaw drop at the sight of the unicorn becoming an alicorn. He had never heard of such an event before. And he talked of two princesses? It was a lot to take in at once. "Even if what you say is true, and even with your being an alicorn, we have no way to decipher that book, nor the pony-power it would take to defeat Sombra in battle." Hammer shook his head. He had been foolish enough to charge blindly into battle once, and he would not make the mistake again. "If we could free some of the prisoners, safely, then maybe.....just maybe. Tell me, Vision. What do you know of the Crystal Empire, or how to fight? If you're going to help us, you'll need to know a lot about both." Hammer said with gusto.

"I suppose if the others are fine with it, I'll go along too." Was Cyprus' reply. Hammer nodded in agreement, but he didn't know how long they could wait to make a decision. "Let me ask you something Vision. Why are you here? We all have our reasons, but what's yours?"

(So who's going next? Because I don't think it's my turn yet.)

(Let's wait a little bit longer.)

"A secret code? A far away place? Sombra's weakness? I...Well, I don't know." Hammer said, rather quickly. "Cyprus, what do you think about all this?"

(Well, you don't have to stop, just, I read you're character's submission, so I could get a better understanding of who I was looking at, and this doesn't sound like the Vision you submitted at all. While I know in this FFA role-play you don't have to follow any particular guides, you're playing like you have everything in the world with your character right now. You started off good, but then the fire crystal started to make it a bit rocky, and then the weapons just seemed to completely dismantle your story. Just my perspective, but, yeah.)

(Housin, this doesn't feel right. I feel like your not really embracing the role-playing aspects here.)

"Cyprus," Hammer called back over his shoulder, "glad to hear you're okay." Hammer, too, felt the sadness that tinged the stallion's voice. At that moment, Hammer's forge sprang back to life, and across the forge was a unicorn! Instinctively, Hammer grabbed his, well, his hammer, and growled "You! Who are you, and how did you find this place!?"

As Hammer looked around the cave, he noticed that none of his comrades were around. "Hmmph." Hammer grumbled to himself, "They better be out finding us more food! Otherwise, there's no way we'll retake the Empire." At that point, a strong wind blew through the cave and put out his forge. Muttering under his breath, he attempted to relight it, but the fire crystals Hammer used for his forge were being especially troublesome. "Blast!" He said angrily. He would have to go deeper into the cave to mine more for his forge. But, he just wanted one last look at that grey sky first. "Don't worry, I'll save you..." He said, staring at the sky, before going to retrieve his pickaxe from it's resting place at the forge.

(Of course! I had just about given up hope...)

(I agree with Lightning Streak. You need to start your character off away from the group. Heh, my character hasn't even been introduced to Caymellow yet, doesn't even know her name.)

Sky's attention was diverted from the fuzzy creature Jogurt as Sapphire and the other pegasus left the tree. "Oh, um, good morning." Sky said, "I....I don't think we've been introduced. My name is Sky Blue." Sky managed to do a somewhat awkward bow, but a bow nonetheless. "So, are we ready to head out now?" Sky was starting to get anxious. As beautiful as the forest was, it was still the Everfree forest, and he was starting to remember the howling he heard last night.
