"I was gonna set up camp ahead of time. Further the snakes are acting strange. They should be going in one constant direction in this valley." Forge said. "But they are turning!"

"So you were just going to leave us behind and go set up camp!" Ever yelled. "And hoped we'd eventually catch up to you!?" "That's seriously uncool Forge." Tornado added and Mith gave him an scolding glare. "That's it! You're not leading the way from here on, I don't care if you were grown in Everfree forest, Shard can take the lead, at least she knows something about working in a group."

"No I knew for a fact that you would! These snakes move in two directions! If they are steering around it means something is wrong! Im telling you!" Forge said. Mag and Shard flew there. "Whats up?" Mag asked. "The snakes are acting weird!" Forge said. "Dude come on its not like..." Mag said before a tremor hit the area. Mag was flying but he saw everypony else shake. The snakes went ballistic and turned in all sorts of directions. "Wait what?!" Forge said.

ooc: Just to clarify, is Forge purposely acting like and Ass or doesn't Raider know Forge is being an Ass?
"Well, that at least was predictable." Ever sighed. "Let's get out of here girls." Tornado nodded and with her help Ever and Mith made it back to the side of the path and out of the snakes' way.

Ooc: Raider doesn't know. Raider is having a block of insperation on squad right now and is roleplaying without any clear idea of what to do. Raider is sorry but Raider is going on hiatus until I can get my act together.

ooc: That's because Raider is trying to inject some sort of event into the situation so he doesn't have to deal with conversation between the characters. This isn't going to help the bond between all of them in the long run and I'm trying to avoid taking everyone back to square one, this also means Raider is writing himself deeper into a wall. Ever and the girls already don't trust the snakes and are already nervous about them, Forge going on about something wrong about the snakes doesn't mean much to them since the girls are already at that point of worrying and they're already in the dark about the snakes' behavior. So Forge is basically where they already are, accept they have a greater issue beyond the snakes and that is that they trusted Forge and he is doing everything to break that trust now. Which, if you noticed in our main rp where I used Ever and the girls, they have a hard time trusting other ponies. How about calming down and working through the issues at hand before throwing more wood on the fire and hoping everything will burn away? I think Raider is trying to pull the cart while it's still stuck in the mud, if you know what I mean. Dig out the cart and it'll go much easier. If we can have a conversation where there can be some form of connection between the characters, it'll be much easier to step forward with the story. Conversation don't just happen when nothing else is happening, but also during chaos and excitement. In the Avengers movie all the trust between the characters was built during the final battle, but if there was no conversation between them in that battle they wouldn't have worked together. They even had them communicate psychically with earpieces that they didn't have.

OOC: Here's what I sent Raider:
And here's what he posted as his response:
BIC: "We will go down snake path! Its the safest most direct path!" Forge said. "I will show you! I use that path a lot. It cuts transport time between the forest in half on this side." Forge said.

"Finally!" Tornado said. "Well, lead the way." Ever told Forge showing him to go ahead with a hoof. "We'll be right behind you. Keeping out of harms way should anything go wrong."

"Okay but it is safe i'm telling you." Forge said. He lead them through the forest. Mag and Shard were shaking. "S.. s.. snakes." Shard shuttered as she shivered with fright. Mag nodded in agreement. "So these snakes won't eat anything that's our size. And we can even ride them!" Forge said happily.

"So you keep saying." Ever told Forge. "But we've yet to meet anything in this forest that doesn't want to eat us and you've yet to lead us through a path that was safe." "At least it's not rats." Mithrel added. "You seem to know a lot about the snakes." Tornado said. "Did you take care of them and wake them up after winter? I thought animals in the Everfree looked after themselves?"

"No. But when you have as much free time as I do and you like camping you find out things. The snakes go in one of two directions in this valley. Forward and backward. We need to hop on a forward one." Forge explained. Shard was still shivering, "I still don't like this." she commented.

"Come on Shard." Tor told her. "It's not everyday you get to ride on a big snake, it could be fun." "If they don't eat us." Ever said. "I still do not believe they are friendly." She looked at Forge. "So these snakes only travel in one of two directions? Don't they ever head somewhere else?"

"Out of the valley yes but not in. And I guess friendly might be stretching but non-hostile is a much better term." Forge said. Shard hmph'd, "We've gone from friendly to non-hostile." Shard said with a bit of distrust in her voice.

"Why am I not surprised." Ever said rolling her eyes. "Let me guess. They will absolutely not eat us, unless they're hungry? Hmm, Forge? Is there anything else we need to know that you may have been stretching a bit?"

"No we aren't considered worth the effort due to our sizes. Unless any of you can grow to the size of a giant rat." Forge said in response.

"Like the giant rats your other shortcut would have taken us through?" Ever laughed in a weak 'I should have known' manner. She suddenly picked up the pace and stopped right in front of Forge when so got ahead of him, close enough that he had to stop or bump into her. "I tell you what Forge." She said with an innocent smile. "I have so little confidence in you, that IF you can lead us through even one part of this forest, without anything happening, no danger, no unexpected events, no sudden surprises, just get us through safely and make the journey even slightly pleasant. Even just one short part of this forest. Then I'll give you anything you want." "Ever! No!" Tornado protested. "Come now Tor, you said that riding giant snakes could be fun." Ever said not taking her eyes off Forge. "This could be fun too, it's the safest bet in the world." "That's nothing like the snakes, Ever!" Tor continued. "You know that! Stop it!" "What do you say Forge?" Ever asked ignoring Tornado. "Absolutely, anything, that you want. Are you stallion enough to back up all your 'talk'? Or is it just 'talk' after all?"

Forge shivered slightly but only Ever would know most likely. At least he hoped. "Okay. You win. You guide. Or get somepony else to do it." Forge said defeated and a bit sullen. "How am I supposed to guide you safely if you don't even trust me? And this is the Everfree forest. Nothing is sure. To be honest nothing is sure everywhere. Even Princess Luna wants us to go that route and you, most likely, don't trust it just because I say its safest. Fine. Pick you own route everypony. I definitely can't guide you safely without any trust. At most maybe Tornado and I could go ahead and set up camp while you take a different route." Forge said. He sighed and got up. "I'm taking snake path because I trust myself. I'll set up camp and you all can meet me at the checkpoint." He said gathering his things. Mag spoke up. "One of you at least has to go with him. You'll need two ponies to set up camp properly and I'm the only other guide." Mag said trying to keep everypony calm.

As quick as a wink Ever moved right up against Forge, side to side, leg to leg, ear to ear, cheek to cheek. She even wrapped her tail around his to make sure he couldn't jump away if her body against him didn't freeze him in place. "Oh come now Forge, don't be a little colt. You say you trust yourself, yet you don't trust yourself to lead us anymore? In fact, you don't trust yourself so much that you'd rather go on alone, you'd rather put us in danger than having your trust tested. Which, by the way..." Ever put her hoof on Forge's nose and pushed it down to better look into his eyes. "Is the stupidest thing you've said this entire trip. We still have a mission to do and sticking together is our best chance at surviving. If you don't trust yourself to lead us, at least try to be humble enough to stick around while somepony else leads. But the deal's still on if you lead. Isn't there anything you want? Anything, at, all?" Tornado and Mithrel were both fuming at how Ever was acting and it looked like Tor might explode at any minute. Yet they both kept quiet and let her go on.

"But you said!" Forge said shivering before collapsing. "N..nevermind... we'll go on the snake trail." Shard and Mag went, "NOOOOO!!!" Simultaneously. Mag crawled dramatically on his wings and pointed at Ever. "Why!? Why would you crush our hopes like that!?" He asked Ever.

"Didn't you just hear your best friend saying he needed somepony to trust him Mag?" Ever asked him. "I'd have thought you, out of all of us, would at least do that? Besides, he's going to need his best friend to cheer him up every, single, time he fails to lead us safely through a path. Isn't that right Forge?" Ever said turning back to him. "Now be a good colt and lead the way, we don't want to get to the next campsite after sundown."

"You don't understand! THE MONGOOSE!" Mag said aloud. Forge rolled his eyes, "The mongoose is dead Mag." Mag's eye shifted, "That's what he wants you to think! Those snakes are bad but the MONGOOSE!" Mag said with dramatic flair.

ooc: Let's say Forge started leading the way as he and Mag said that, so we can have some forward momentum to the story. Or I'm going to have Mith tie Ever and Forge together so we can get moving, k'?
Tornado and Mithrel followed after Forge and the two gave Ever very disappointing looks when they passed by her. Ever only smiled at them and then giggled like a little filly as she set off after them.

Forge suddenly snapped to. Like he hadn't realized he had started walking. He looked around. "Okay follow me." Forge said. "BEWARE THE MONGOOSE!" Mag yelled. "The Mongoose is dead Mag." Forge said. Eventually they came to a valley and two sets of giant snakes. "Okay the snakes on the side we are on are going in the direction we need. Mag can place you on the proper spot where you won't fall but its up to you ultimately." Forge said.

ooc: Mongoose are cool. Totally awesome creatures. "Whoa! They are big snakes!" Tor said seeing the snakes below them and forgetting that she was angry at Ever for a moment. Mith however didn't forget and the snakes really didn't empress her enough to make her forget. "So Mag?" Ever asked sweetly. "Where do we go?"

Post by Broly Ultimatrix on Aug 27, 2014 19:02:31 GMT -5
OOC: agreed. But this mongoose will be introduced a little later...
"Between the head and tail. They get irritated if you stand directly on the head so there will be a bit of swerving but that spot that connects the head to the tail will be ideal." Forge answered for Mag. Who was glaring at Ever. "Okay who is first?" Mag said finally stopping his glare.

Post by Bio Plus on Aug 28, 2014 2:39:32 GMT -5
ooc: Ever was basically saying that she was first. Responding to Forge comment 'Mag can place you on the proper spot...' She replied to Mag 'Where do we go?' in order for him to place her on the proper spot. bic: "Me!" Tor said and flew down landing on the nearest snake. "Like this!?" She asked sitting down in the middle. Mith immediately jumped down after Tornado to land on the same snake as she and Tornado had to help steady her so she didn't fall off.

"Uh sure! But be careful not to fall. It may be hard to stay on with two ponies!" Forge shouted after them. Mag took Ever and placed her on a snake. Shard back away a bit. "I think i'll just fly!" Shard said nervously and took off before Mag could grab her. Forge jumped onto a snake. It felt like he was being pulled in one direction after the other as the snake slithered. Mag had hid inside his bag. Forge had a hard time holding both his and Mag's bags but otherwise it was fine. They went on for a while. Forge noticed the treeline change as the halfway marker. "Hey! How is everypony holding up?!" Forge shouted to everypony.

"We're doing fine!" Tor called out. "How about you Shard?" She called up to where Shard was flying. "You doing okay?" "Why Forge." Ever said from her spot. "You're actually showing concern for us. I'm so glad to see you're taking this seriously."

"Uh, do you want me to come up and fly with you?" Tor asked Shard. "I'm so glad to hear that Forge." Ever replied. "It wouldn't be much fun if I thought you weren't really trying to get that prize."
