OOC: Sounds interesting. Can't wait to see what becomes of it.
BIC: it wasn't long before Broly and Twilight finished eating. Broly picked up their trash and took it to a trash can.

Bio and June finished their meal and Bio did the same, passing Broly on his way back.

Broly waited for Bio to get back before talking, "So what next? Want to hit a movie?"

"Then lets going and see whats showing." Broly said getting up and helping Twilight up as well. They started off to threater within the mall. Once there the movies showing lined the walls, "Whats everyone want to see? Horror, Romance, Adventure?" Broly asked walking along the posters.

"Definitely not horror." Junebug said. "I agree." Bio added. "How about adventure." "Or romance."

"Ye, because watching our lives on a Big Screen will be all the more effective. I vote for Romance." Broly said then turned to Twilight. "Romance it is." She made the final verdict and got in line for the tickets. Broly stood by her side.

"You think our lives are like an adventure?" Bio rolled his eyes. "But I'm fine with romance." "We'll go stand in line for popcorn." Junebug offered and she and Bio went to wait in line.

Broly and Twilight nodded to each other and went and got four tickets for the Romance movie. It was a Sci-fi spin off of Titanic but since Titanic never showed in Equestrian theaters they got away with it. Once they got the tickets They waited for Bio and June to come from the concession stands.

The two of them met Broly and Twilight, carrying enough popcorn and drinks for all of them. "Are we ready to go in?" Bio asked.

Broly put Bio and June's tickets on Bio's nose and took two of each drink and one of the popcorn buckets, "Yep, we're all set. About 20 minutes early actually so seating should be plentiful." He said leading the way to have their ticket stubs ripped and enter the theater. Twilight followed close by his side.

Junebug laughed at Bio trying to balance the tickets and took them from him to help him. They followed Brolly and Twilight to their seats.

Once in their seats Broly and Twilight got close and comfortable and looked forward to the movie. OOC: I'll let you start the movie as well

ooc: But I don't know how to start that! Junebug and Bio relaxed as the movie started playing with the camera showing a tropical island and a pony washed up at the shore.

OOC: I'm guessing you've never seen Titanic BIC: The movie progressed slowly at first, with the pony spending about an hour in his time coming to terms with who he was, given his onset of memory lose. He found a small sail boat smashed on he shore and shortly afterwards a small, soaked suitcase with some files in it he had written. Music to be precise. He hummed the tunes and his memories flowed back as he remembered the merchant ship he had previously been aboard and assumed it to be at the bottom of the ocean now. It was then that a puff of smoke billowed up from around the bend of the island and a ship came into view. Its anchor dropping signaled his rescue and the screen went black as letters on the screen signified "Present Day". The same stallion from before had a bag over his shoulder and stood at a dock beside a VERY large ship with the name "Titanic" written on the side. He was standing in line with a large group of ponies all wanting to board and looked up in awe of the magnificent ship before him. The screen zoomed away from him and into a window where the reflection of a beautiful mares reflection shone against the glass looking out the window and then the screen panned to the side where a stallion walked in, presumably her father, and asked if she would be coming to early lunch. She politely declined and continued to watch the ponies board through the window. OOC: I'll let your characters work with this bit for now and I'll continue the story in my next post. I can't remember anything from Titanic so this is totally off the top of my head while following the most basic story line I can think of. You can add to the story if you so see fit or leave it to me. I'll work with it either way.

ooc: No, no. I've seen Titanic. I just completely forgot you said it was based on Titanic after saying I had to start the movie. And honestly I'm out of ideas again. Any suggestions?

OOC: How about I tell the story on screen and you just post your characters reactions to it. I figure June will act like a girl and Bio like a guy while not quite matching the part BIC: The movie seemed to follow these two ponies as they made their way either onto or around the ship respectively and for a moment they were but feet apart. However, they continued on without noticing one another. The ship took off and ponies were called to the many Great Halls located on the ship for dinner and a word from the captain. Again the two ponies were back to back, sitting at two tables right next to each other and the scene focused on the dialogue they were having with there fellow tablemates. The stallion and the mare were relatively quiet compared to the others at their tables. He was humming a small light tune while she looked on into the distant, not into the conversation at hand. She reached for her fork without really looking at it and accidentally knocked it off the table. The stallion, hearing it hit the floor, made quick to turn and pick it up like any proper gentleman would and as he handed it to her he couldn't help but stare, for her beauty was indeed something to behold. "Thanks" the mare said with a kind smile. The stallion cleared his throat and looked away. "No problem." he replied quickly and went to his own food. She gave a small chuckle and went to hers. dinner continued and eventually the two found themselves sitting almost alone at their respective tables. He turned around to her, "So... Enjoying the ship ride thus far?" he asked, trying to spark conversation. It took the mare a moment to realize the question was directed at her. "OH, yes. It's a beautiful ship don't you think so?" "Beautiful indeed." He said looking straight at her. He quickly realized he was again staring and looked around the great hall to play it off, "It's such a large ship too." "The mare simply smiled, "Oh yes. They say it can't sink too. Something about how the below deck is built." "Yeah, hopefully we won't be testing that theory on this trip though. a maiden voyage is the worse time to almost sink. I'm Victor by the way." "Hello, my name is Ivory. Pleasure making your acquaintance." "Likewise." He said with the same kind smile she gave him earlier. The two continued to talk about this or that as night fell outside. OOC: We should adlib a part of the story from where the previous person left off. we can fill more story quicker that way.

ooc: Wait, what? I have seen Titanic, but only one time years ago when it came out on DVD. I don't remember the flow of events. And why is Titanic seen as such a great romance movie anyway? It really isn't that great in the romance department.

Both Bio and June rolled their eyes. "Stuff like that doesn't happen in reality." Junebug said. "It's a little rude to stare like that." "How did we meet again?" Bio asked. "I'll tell you later." June answered him.

ooc: Wait, what? I have seen Titanic, but only one time years ago when it came out on DVD. I don't remember the flow of events. And why is Titanic seen as such a great romance movie anyway? It really isn't that great in the romance department. OOC: Exactly, let's improve on everything they missed Plus we can add stuff to fill time. It should also be interesting with us taking turns telling a story because each person has to pick up where the lest person let off like when I had to take the pony off the island and into a scene where he can get onto a boat. BIC: Now the father of Ivory walked up to the two and looked upon Victor with a less then pleased glare before turning to his daughter, "Dear, we're heading to the room so let's get going please." "Yes father. Good evening Mr. Victor." The mare said with a light nod and walked off with her father, who shot one last glance as the stallion before they continued onward. Victor walked over to the bar along one side of the room and ordered a drink as he waited for the room to clear... Ivory silently read a book while sitting on her bed until her parents were sleeping soundly. Once she was sure they were completely out she snuck across the room and out the door. She perused the various halls and decks of the massive ship, taking in the beautiful moonlight and every now and then counting stars or naming constellations as she saw them. She was in her own little world when, between the sound of the waves hitting the ship she could hear a fine music hanging in the air like wind chimes. Drawn by the fine sound she perked her ears and followed wherever it was and found herself standing outside the great hall she was in not an hour earlier. She peeked through the slightly cracked door and scanned the room. The bartender was cleaning glasses and a custodian was mopping the floor. On the far side of the room, sitting at the grand piano on stage, she made out the stallion from earlier playing the beautiful melody. She silently entered the door and made it to the other side of the room, giving both the bartender and the custodian a friendly nod which they returned, until she was standing right on the edge of the stage. She stood and listened to Victor play the piano and quietly hummed the lyrics she did know of the song. OOC: This song > HERE < BIC: When Victor finished his song he lowered his head and gave a sigh like one who climbed Mount Everest or someone else who beat the best player of chess in the world would. His attention was snapped back in when the sound of clapping hooves behind him went up as all three, the mare, the bartender and the custodian gave him a round of applause. He went along with it, standing up and giving a slight bow to his audience.

Afterwards the two ponies sat at the bar, the bartender didn't object and even served them some drinks. "You have a beautiful talent." Ivory told Victor. I'm afraid my talent is but a pale imitation next to true beauty." He said looking at her and she blushed at the flattery. The two finished their drink and then walked together on deck. Talking about small, trivial things as they enjoyed each others company and finally stared at the stars as cool evening breeze passed by them. ooc: I'm lacking so much inspiration right now.

OOC: Took me a moment to recover from that one liner Victor used And don't worry about it. I've had this story planned out since the beginning. I know how it will end. I'm just milking it for what I can. BIC: After a moment of talking The two sat silently and listened to the waves hit the bow of the ship. It was dark over the edge of the boat and the sky had started to brighten up with the rising of the sun. It wasn't till then that they realized they'd been up all night and this seemed to startle Ivory the most. She started to back up and turn around. "Sorry to leave so quickly but I simply must get back to my room before my parents wake up." "Then don't let me keep ya waiting. I'll probably be getting to bed myself. Wasn't planning on being up all night either." Ivory gave a little nod before making her way away, "It was a wonderful evening." She added right as she went out of earshot but still looking back with a smile which Victor returned. She made it back to her room and right as she did her father walked out of the backroom. "Where have you been dear? We were worried." "Sorry to worry you. I won't up early and decided to take a stroll around the deck though I think I'll catch that sleep I lost now." She said making it to her bed for the first time. She climbed in and turned off her bedside lamp, which was still on from her book reading earlier. "Good morning." She said despite going to bed. The father seemed sated with her explanation and went on with his morning routine getting ready. Victor waited till Ivory was gone before heaving a sigh that she was in fact gone and making his way slowly to his room. Despite being full of energy earlier he was quite tired now and it showed in his posture and demeanor. Once in his room he plopped on the bed and went quickly to sleep without getting under the covers. All the while Twilight and Broly continued to be all into the movie though Broly couldn't resist a loud chuckle at Victors catch-phrase. Twilight simply rolled her eyes at the same scene.

ooc: Maybe there is still hope for me playing Stallion. Junebug blushed embarrassingly when Broly chuckled and Twilight rolled her eyes at the scene and squeezed Bio's hoof. The two woke up late the morning and went about their business, it wasn't until the afternoon that they got to saw each other again. Ivory was at the back of the ship with some other passengers, looking at some whales spotted not too far from them. Victor was walking off a late launch when he spotted her and she smiled back at him. He was casually making his way over to her when her father suddenly joined her and Victor casually made a sharp turn towards some stairs. The next time they met was not long before dinner. Ivory's parents were getting ready in their rooms and Ivory left early hoping to run into the young stallion. She wasn't disappointed when she found him leaning against the side of the ship and watching the sunset. "Good evening." She greeted. "Did you sleep well?" "Evening." Victor greeted her as well. "I did. And you? I hope I didn't get you into any trouble?" "Not at all." Ivory reassured him. "Maybe... we can meet again later?" Before Victor could answer one of the ship staff rushed up to him. "Monsieur! I am terribly sorry to bother you and your companion, but there is a problem and we were hoping that you could help us out, if you'd please?"

OOC: OOHH, this is getting interesting.
BIC: "Umm, I guess. What do you need?" The stallion said shifting his view from the staff to Ivory and then back to the staff. "If you'll just follow me, I'll take you to the captain. He's calling as many of the stronger stallions to the bridge." Victor nodded and started following the worker before turning back to Ivory. "Later?" "Yes, later." She said, not letting on how disappointed she really was. When Victor was gone she let out a sigh and stared at the water over the railing, wondering how she was to pass time now.

Ivory stayed where she was for a while, enjoying the sunset, when another young colt approached her. He looked more dignified and proper, or it could have been pompous, than Victor. "Good evening. I don't think I've had the pleasure of meeting you. And I regret for not seeing such a lovely lady, such as you, sooner."
Victor meanwhile joined the other able stallions that were waiting for the captain of the ship, who soon arrived after Victor. "Thank you all for lending your assistance." The captain told the colts. "If you'd quickly follow me we have somewhat of a predicament below deck that and we are in need of your help." The captain quickly turned around and led the way and the stallions followed after him.

OOC: I'm sensing I should temporarily take Ivory for this and wing it with Victor for a bit.
BIC: Ivory remembered her manners, first and foremost, taking a step from the rail to stand up straight and giving a friendly nod to the stallion, "Good day, sir. Your flattery is too much." She said with an expertly practiced smile and perfect posture, despite not caring for these kind of guys.
Victor followed the captain below deck taking up the rear of the group. It seemed they were in one of the quartered off sections of the ship designed for keeping the ship afloat should it start taking off water. Some of the other ponies were running around busily too and fro. When the captain stopped he was standing in front of an open door. a single hole could be seen and it was obviously filled with water. "Now what I need two of you to do is swim down and open a hatch at the bottom of the pool. It's pitch black so one of you will need a flashlight. We'll have you both tied down so you don't get sucked in when you get the door open." "Doesn't this look like dangerous work the sailor ponies should be handling?" One of the stallions said with raised hoof. "Usually, yes. But in this case we're not staffed for this. The dock was supposed to have this chamber cleared before we took off. There's no hole or anything, it's just full of water and the door will pour the water back into the ocean and lighten the weight of the ship. The rest of my staff is busy with bigger jobs and this one can be completed whenever but sooner would have us the fuel cost of moving the extra weight." "I'll go." Victor said stepping foreword. The stallion that doubted looked over to him and then stepped foreword himself, "I'll go too." "Good. Everypony else, grab the ropes and tie it around our volunteers. Fasten the other end to the wall over here." The two stallion volunteers stepped next to each other in front of the doorway leading to the water.

ooc: You know, my original thought when starting this was that they'd want Victor to fill in playing the piano. "Not at all!" The stallion told Ivory. "A lovely lady as yourself should indeed be complimented. Would you join me for dinner tonight?" Victor and the other stallion dove into the water to start on their task and while the second stallion held the flashlight, Victor opened the hatch. As the water water started to suck out the rope caught around the second stallion's legs and he let go of the flashlight as he was swung wildly around. Victor just manage to caught the flashlight with his teeth and tried to help the other stallion.

OOC: I was going to go with something like that but I also wanted to change things up so after a small war and two battles in my head I went with dangerous underwater mission.
BIC: "Though I appreciate the invitation, I'll need to politely decline. I've made plans with another for this evening and a Mare must stick to her word." She said sincerely, "Perhaps another time?" She offered to be polite but secretly hoped he wouldn't accept it.
With the hatch wide open, the force of the water flowing through was like standing suspended, upside down in a waterfall. Despite his smaller then normal physic, Victor was able to help the stallion untie his leg but it was obviously dislocated. On top of this, the stallion lost his breath as the shock of his leg getting caught and the rushing of the water surprised him. He was struggling to stay conscious and Victor only had one option left. He grabbed the other stallions head and pressed his lips against the others as he breathed half a breath of air. The compartment was large and took a while to empty. The stallions above couldn't seem to pull the two against the current and could only hope they would hold on. After another moment the water was gone and the two stallions spun, suspended in air and gasping wildly, "Tell... no one..." Victor said as he gasped between each word. "Not... a... Problem..." The other stallion said equally exhausted. The two began their accent and were soon out of the hole, wet but triumphant and maybe a feeling a bit stupid for volunteering for such a job.

"Yes, perhaps another time." The stallion said gruffly, upset at being rejected so easily. "Good evening to you." He turned and walked away.
"You... you saved my life!" The pony told Victor when they were safely back. "Thank you." He stretched out a hoof towards him. "My name's Wheeler."

Ivory silently nodded as the stallion made his leave and, when he was gone, decided to recline on one of the long chairs. One of the waiters came up to her and offered her a drink which she accepted and the tall smoothie was levitated to her. She watched the passing clouds which seemed the only thing on the vast ocean worth looking at.
Victor shook hooves with the stallion, "Victor." He said and made his way up. "Let's get you to the Infirmery." he said and helped the other pony to his feet. The two walked off, drenched under a couple towels, to where the doctor on board was doing his work.
Broly took the opportunity while the movie was moving kind of slow to take a quick bathroom break and Twilight shifted a bit as he left since she was leaning on him still. She continued to watch the movie and wait for it to pick up.
