What do we do? OneXOne RP

[Shai]

Alison
Alison was beginning to wake up, and she was surprised to feel that her arm didn't hurt as much as before. She opened her eyes, though she opened them slowly, because the light was quite bright. She stared to sit up, but her head ached, so she decided to just stay lying down.

Willow
Willow's ears went back, "You are correct. But really, why bother trying to hurt them seeing as I'm the one with the flower.?" Willow commented, somewhat annoyed. She had worked out what she might be able to do, but it was too risky. She had to force this horse to think of it somehow.

Sasha
Sasha began to fly down, approaching the cave. She leveled out a short way off the ground, then landed gently in the snow, her hooves making little puffs of snow where she landed. Star landed gently after her, Autumn not far behind.

~George~
George watched Alison, sitting down next to the cot. He watched as she opened her eyes, slowly. He brushed some of his hair back and offered his fellow wounded scientist a strained smile. “Alison...” He began, trailing off before beginning again. “How are you feeling?”
As Alison tried to sit up, George held up his hands in a warning gesture. “I would advice you not to do that. You need rest before you can start sitting up and moving.”

~Than~
The mare's white ears went back, and Than regarded her annoyed expression coldly. So, this mare was smarter then the stallion had anticipated. No worries. He thought to himself.
"You are correct. But really, why bother trying to hurt them seeing as I'm the one with the flower.?" Than snorted, rolling his eyes in irritation before responding. “True. But, you wouldn't want me to hurt your friends for you to give me the flower,” He said. “So how about we strike a deal?” Than offered, his eyes glinting in the red glow the fire gave off.

~Autumn~
Autumn felt their descent, and she dared to peak her eyes open. The ground came up to fast for the little yearling as the mare landed gracefully in the white snow. Instead of graceful, Autumn landed with a stumble, nearly falling to the ground with a thud.

Alison
Alison forced a strained smile in return, though almost laughed at George's question, "I feel like I've been trampled by a horse." She said truthfully, "But I'm feeling better than I did, thanks for fixing my arm."

Willow
Willow's eyes widened, and she shrugged amiably, "I suppose it depends on the deal." Willow replied, somewhat more coldly than she had meant. Her coat looked more like that of a Palimino mares' in the glow from the fire, but there was no mistaking the harsh glare in her eye for a glow caused by the flames.

Sasha
Sasha turned as Autumn landed with a bump, and dropped the ropes, "Are you OK?!" She asked, concerned.
Sasha studied the ropes that the two foals were tied with, trying to work out the best way of removing them. She could probably bite through most of the ropes, but the tight halters were more of a problem.

~George~
George gave another small smile, and sat down, resting his arms on his knees.
"Well, you were technically trampled by a horse, in a sense," George put in, rubbing his weathered worn hands together. "but it's good you are feeling better. And I also got you some water, in case you're thirsty," He held up a bottle of water by the cot.

~Than~
"That it does, I suppose too," Than's face was expressionless now, not wanting to show the anger and annoyance he felt. So instead, he jerked his head up higher, staring at Willow.
"If," He began. "You come with me, and take the flower too, I won't hurt your friends," Than said, his nostrils flaring. "Mind you, I won't hesitate to hurt them if you decide to act to your own accord."

~Autumn~
The yearling gave her head a small shake, and looked up to see Sasha by her.
"Are you OK?!" Autumn nodded, noticing the worry the mare's voice hinted. In the back of her mind, Autumn wondered if this mare had ever had foals of her own.
"What is your name?" She asked, looking up at Sasha.

[Shai]

Alison
Alison laughed slightly, and pushed herself up so she was half sitting, finding that her head didn't hurt as badly as before. "Thanks." she commented briefly, in return to George's comment about the water. She suddenly remembered something, "So did the mare and foals escape?" she asked.
She doubted they had been recaptured, that was her fault, but she wanted to find out if they actually had escaped.

Willow
"So wait. Are you saying we would be taking the flower back to my friend, with you tagging along?!" Willow wanted to laugh and say no, but if this was the closest he would come to her idea, maybe she'd have to go with it. But she didn't want to take the risk of taking him back to the cave where everyone else was, who knew what he could or would do.

Sasha
Sasha smiled gladly, "I'm glad you're okay, that was quite a rough landing you had there." Sasha said.
"I'm Sasha. And just so you know, that foal there is Star. And, if you don't mind me asking, what is your name?" Sasha asked, pointing at Star as she mentioned his name.

((Just wondering, would Sasha have had foal(s) yet? I know in the previous RP she had had two foals, but I'm not sure if she would have had them in this... Maybe seeing as she obviously currently doesn't have a foal, the foal that she had in the previous RP did happen, but it died shortly after birth?))

~George~
George watched Alison with concern as she pushed herself up, hoping no pain would overcome her. When nothing happened, George sat back with a soft sigh, brushing his hair from his face.
"So did the mare and foals escape?" The man clenched his hands into fists, wishing she hadn't brought up that issue now. Instead of answering right away, George just sat, fists clenching and unclenching.
"Yes, they did." Was all he replied.

~Autumn~
Autumn bobbed her head up and down with an amused smile. "Well, I've never been flying before." She said sheepishly. "And my name is Autumn, but you can just call me Firefly," She explained, looking down at her hooves. "It's my nickname."

((That's what I was thinking. It seems to me Sasha sort of has a motherly air about her, and I think, even if she only had had a foal for a short while, it would come from having a foal.
I'll be posting Than soon, but I just wanted to clarify on the plan with the flower. Was Than going to take Willow, so then Blood Tip would come after to rescue her? And if so, how should Than take her? Knock her out somehow?
I'm kind of dead on ideas at the moment ))

Alison
"Ah well. I figured they would, but it doesn't matter. We know where their 'camp' is, so it shouldn't be that hard to track them down, and probably find the rest." Alison said. She assumed there was more, but it was possible there was just the mare and the two foals... Though if the foals were the mare's foals, likelihood was that there would be more horses. The mares mate at least.

Sasha
Sasha smiled, "There's nothing wrong with not having flown before. Most horses haven't!" she said, "Nice to meet you Firefly. That's a nice nickname!"

Star
Star just stood in the snow, sensing where he was, and trying to work out a clear path to the cave. Snow matted in his short fluffy coat, and in his short mane. He was beginning to get cold, so he wanted to warm up, and the only even sightly warm place he could think of was the cave.


((Yea, Than is going to take Willow so Blood Tip comes after Willow to rescue her. Maybe Than should suggest that Willow has to come with him, thats the only way the others would get the flower? That might work.))

[Faux Paux]

~George~
Glad that Alison wasn't mad, George listened to her speak, nodding along with her words.
"Ah well. I figured they would, but it doesn't matter. We know where their 'camp' is, so it shouldn't be that hard to track them down, and probably find the rest." She could be mad, but at least she wasn't showing it, anyway. George nodded once more before speaking.
"We'll go out there to see where there are as soon as we can," George said, "but probably not for a bit. I want to wait until your arm heals up more."

~Than~
"So wait. Are you saying we would be taking the flower back to my friend, with you tagging along?!" Than gave an amused snort, and shook his head, cold laughter glittering in his black eyes. "Ha, not at all. What I mean is, for you to come with me. Leave the flower, and your two friends can get it and bring it back. But not with you." Than's tail swirled around his dark colored legs, and a lock of black mane fell across his eyes, only hiding the heartless look in them.

~Autumn~
"Nice to meet you Firefly. That's a nice nickname!" Autumn dipped her head in thanks. "Thank you," She said. Turning her head, she looked over at Star, who seemed to be looking towards a cave they were by. Curious, Autumn gazed at it, her golden eyes observing its snowy outside and dark inside. She couldn't see anything inside the cave, so when a pegasus walked out, she took a step back in surprise.

~Jamilah~
Jamilah was resting on the cold, damp ground, grumbling to herself about how this was not a good place for sleep. She probably would have continued on, if she hadn't heard some noise and mumbles of voices outside.
With a jerk, Jamilah was up on her feet, her wings draping on the ground and she trotted with some fear to the outside. As her white head emerged from the shadows, she saw Sasha and Star, with a small creamy unicorn with a gold mane and tail standing by.
"Sasha?" She called, stopping short where she stood.

[Shai]

Alison
Alison smiled, "Why don't you just take Hank and Jacob out with you and look for them? It'll be a while till my arm heals, and by then who knows where they'll be. Besides, it's not like I need you here to take care of me or anything." she said, a plan forming in her mind. She didn't like letting anything slow her work down, so she figured if she could get George and the others out of the camp, she also could get out of the camp and start working. If she braced her arm properly and kept it in a sling she would probably be able to go out...

Willow
Willow's nostrils flared, and she pretended to look somewhat scared and uncertain. She wasn't, seeing as this was her plan all along, but she still had to play along. "How do I know I can trust you? How do I know you won't get me to come with you then stop my friends from getting th flower?" she asked, her voice quiet, scared. All for acting, of course... Or was she actually somewhat scared?

Sasha
Sasha's head flicked around in surprise as she heard Jamilah call her name, "Yes, Jamilah?" Sasha called back questioningly in response. She started to walk towards the cave, indicating for Firefly to follow. She figured that Firefly would be scared, but she also had to find out what Jamilah wanted, and she couldn't rish Autumn wandering off and getting lost.

[Faux Paux]

~George~
A skeptical look formed on George's face as he listened to Alison.
"Why don't you just take Hank and Jacob out with you and look for them? It'll be a while till my arm heals, and by then who knows where they'll be. Besides, it's not like I need you here to take care of me or anything." Frowning slightly, the scientist thought over what she said, thoughts whirring through his mind.
"Yes, I could take them out," A roll of his eyes showed that George doubted the two hunters would be interested in studying the strange horses. "and no, you don't need me. I know very well, Alison, that you are capable of functioning on your own, injured or not," At this, he gave a small smile. "But I'll give it a day or two before we do go out. I think we could all use rest..."
George closed his eyes for a moment, thinking of what happened earlier. He wanted to tell Alison, since she was the one he felt he could trust the most, but she would most likely think he was just plain crazy. Though I'm sure they do already He thought, opening his lids.

~Than~
A s scared expression spread across the mare's face, and Than couldn't help but feel successful at the fact he had managed to get to the mare, finally.
"How do I know I can trust you? How do I know you won't get me to come with you then stop my friends from getting the flower?" "Well, maybe you just need to take a leap of faith?" Sarcasm dripped from Than's voice, he himself knowing full well the mare would never trust him. "But I won't. The two stallions will be able to get to the flower. But like I said, only if you come with me."

~Jamilah~
Jamilah studied the small yearling a few moments before answering the call Sasha had responded back with. With barely a thought herself, the mare looked into the other mare's thoughts, finding out what happened. Surprise raced through her as she learned of the humans, and where they had put the foals. Finally, she gave her a head a shake, and looked back at Sasha.
Deciding to play innocent, Jamilah didn't act or say she already knew of what became of the trip.
"How did it go?" She asked, her head tipping to the side as she stood back, moving back into the cave so the others could come in.

((I'm just wondering...do you think Jamilah's telepathy power should be only able to read minds, but not communicate with others? Oh, and if you'd rather not have Jamilah read Sasha's mind, I can change my post.))
