RPG A Really Pony Game

Chapter 3

        “The two ponies stroll down the dirt road at a steady pace. Every once in a while they would stop to take a potty break or Lightning would often complain that he was tired or hungry. At about noon, you two see what looks like a small trail. So small, it could be the creation of maybe a rabbit or something. The only reason you notice it is because there are bits of very bright and colorful flowers strewn along the miniature path. What do you do?” Crystal finally asked.

“Some random path? Hmmmm… I decide that we should take the path!” Lightning declares.

“Well ok, let’s just hope it’s safe…” Crystal says nervously. “The two begin to trot down the “path” tripping over man different obtrusive objects, smacking faces into many branches, and are cut by small thorns,” Crystal explained.

“Ouch!” Lightning said out of nowhere.

“What?” Crystal said.

“I’m staying in character and you should too. Ouch! These branches and thorns are awful! I can feel syrup already coming out of my cuts!” Lightning said.

"After quite some time the sky begins to turn red with the coming of night. The entire walk has been completely uneventful. We shouldn’t have taken this path. We’re lost, have no food, and its almost night! Nice going genius,” Crystal said with a very sarcastic tone.

“Well I didn’t know it would-“ Lightning is cut off by Crystal’s screech.

“Eeek! Up ahead of the pair is a dead bunny. The trail of flower stops at the corpse. A lot of dried syrup is around the bunny which shows this was a savage kill. What do you do?” Crystal asked.

“Hmmm… I guess I inspect the bunny further,” Lightning decided.

“Lightning goes to the bunny and inspects it at a closer range but as you kneel before it you feel a sharp pierce in your side. As you turn to see what it is the same thing is felt from your leg. Your eyes begin to blur as you slowly slip out of consciousness. You fall to the ground and Crystal realizes you have been shot by two darts. She bounds in the direction the two objects came from in order to find the assailant. As she runs through bushes and branches she is hit three times by darts and also faints,” Crystal said.

“Can I do anything?” Lightning asked.

“You’re unconscious on the ground. So no, you can’t,” Crystal said sourly.

“No need to be snappy,” Lightning said, a little hurt.

“Well you managed to put our two characters in the most awful situation possible,” Crystal said sharply.

“Ok, I’m sorry,” Lightning said as he hung his head.

“Alright. Lightning slowly comes to and you feel as if you are floating on a cloud. You slowly begin to distinguish that you are actually being carried. As you try to sit up you realize you cannot but as your eyes unblur, you see the trees going by over your head as you are being carried. What do you do?” Crystal asked.

“I attempt to ask where I am,” Lightning decided.

“You are able to speak so you ask and you are answered with another dart in your side before you finish the question,” Crystal said.

“Dang it!”

“Yeah, well, it might have done you better to have just sat there and shut up,” Crystal said, smiling a little. “The next time you wake up you realize that you are no longer moving. From further analysis, you also make out that you are lying on a soft sort of bed in a small room. You can also tell there are other ponies in this room. What do you do?” Crystal asked.

“I try to see who is in the room without making a very noticeable motion,” Lightning decided.

“Finally, a good decision! As you begin to slightly move your head to survey the room you realize that it is a room full of ponies lying in beds just like you. As you scan the room your eyes stop on one pony in particular. You see Crystal, me, lying across the room from you and you feel relief at the sight of seeing her safe. Or, are you safe here? You are very unsure. One other thing you notice is that there doesn’t seem to be anypony guarding you and the others. What do you do?” Crystal asked.

“I try to go to you and wake you up,” Lightning said.

“As you are getting up you feel a sharp pain speed down your back. You feel your back with you hoof and there is no syrup. In fact, there are no wounds at all. You realize the pain must have been from stiffness. That would mean you must have been lying there for a long time. Just how long? You slowly make your way over to Crystal. Once you reach her you nudge her with your hoof a few times,” Crystal said.

“Pst! Crystal, wake up! I don’t know where we are,” Lightning whispered.

“As you are next to Crystal, you begin to hear hoofsteps coming from behind a wall. With further inspection, you realize there is a hidden door there. What do you do?” Crystal asked.

“I fall asleep!” And so he did.
