It smells like sea air.

Warm sand lies under them, as your eyes struggle under the bright sun. The crashing of waves gently rocked them awake from their dreams, be they pleasant or unsettling.

Where were they? They seemed to be on a beach! Beaches were places where ponies went to have fun, but these ponies didn't know why they were here. they have never seen this place before, and woke up here somehow.

It isn't the worst place to come to, though! It's pleasantly breezy, and the trees down south could provide shelter. Up North, there could be people in the village. Whatever could be over the large cliff wall to the east?

And look, loo, they're finally waking up! I wonder what they'll be like?

319856

Sand??
I stand up and look around, where am I? What is this place, anything nearby that is of importance?

319857

>>319845
I yawn and stretch out slightly. Looking around, my ears perk up.
"Where… am I?"

Roll #0 7 = 7

319858

>>319857
An island, it looks like.

You've never seen it before, though! But it looks like a really nice place. The water is so clear, you can see the seaweed forest from here.

>>319856
You don't really know, either. But this is a nice beach. You can see a town to the North, and foret to the south.

West is all clear blue sea, and the sun seems closer to there.

319860

>>319858
Ehhh… I am afraid of the water.

I walk back a bit away from the sea.

>>319857
"Hi there." I wave

319861

>>319858
… yeah right. Put some sand into my pockets.
"This isn't Clopantinople…"

>>319860
I quickly turn around to see the source of the voice
"… 'Sup."

319862

>>319861
It's some very nice sand, yes.

Nice and fine.

319864

>>319862
Does that filly have anything valuable on her? '1d10'

Roll #1 1 = 1

319867

>>319864
Nothing.

She looks.. really poor. You feel a bit of pity for her.

319870

>>319866
There are 2 ponies, right by you! Why not say hello before you venture out into the forest or village?

319871

>>319861
"Nice to meet you. Do you know where we are?" I then look around and see if there are some shade nearby.

319872

>>319867
Ignore the post as Table Top.
"Wha-"
Look around. Why is it so warm here? Where is the snow?

319874

>>319867
Pity? Yeah right.

>>319871
"We sure aren't in Clopantinople anymore…"
I give her a cross look
"Who are you?"

319877

>>319872
Snow? Why, there's none of that you can see anywhere.

It's a particularly nice sun, off to the west. You could lie here all day.

319881

>>319877
I should really get up.
Escape Artist.
Don't want any of the big kids see me like that.
Look around.

Roll #0 7 = 7

319883

>>319881
An Earth pony and a unicorn! Maybe you could make friends with them?

Either way, there's no point venturing off to the village up north or forest down south alone, is there?

319884

>>319874
I put a hoof on my chest.
"My name's Etherlight, a student of the wizard academy at Fillydelphia, but you can call me Light or Ether if you want, my Dad always does."

>>319877
I then look around if there are some nearby shade to hide from the sun.

319885

>>319883
Uhuh. They are not out for my neck, right?
Stealth and sneak up to them.

Roll #0 3 = 3

319886

>>319884
"… Fillydelphia. An Equestrian. And a stuffy mage at that. That's just great."
I shake my head at her

319888

>>319884
Looks like nearest are those trees, a fair distance to the south! Spikes seem to jut out from the soul and mud under them, though. Of course, you could settle for one of the palms around you.

>>319885
The rock you hide behind is too small, and they can see your tail.

319889

>>319888
But I'm PERFECTLY HIDDEN!
Let's look at them and stand still. What are they talking about?

319890

>>319889
Or so the little pegasus thought. Such a clever disguise, he thought! And while his tail wagged in the air, he heard them introduce one another and say were they were from.

319891

>>319886
"Stuf… I.. ah.."
I then start to draw circles in the sand.
"How.. about yours? Whats your name?"

319896

>>319891
I ignore her question and motion at her gear
"Nice stuff you got there. Did daddy give you all of that?"

319903

>>319891
>>319896
Uh, she has stuff! Lots of stuff! Sneak up to her and try to snatch something!

Roll #0 5 = 5

319904

>>319896
"Well… they are mine and I use them for school activities." I look at my saddlebag as I move slowly away a bit from this strange pony.

319905

>>319903
Ether can roll to detect Pumpkin.

319906

>>319905
Wha…?
'1d10'

Roll #1 7 = 7

319907

>>319906
>>319903
>7
"Hey… hey! What are you doing?" I stare at the newcomer."

319908

>>319906
"Shee… Hello!"
ACT INNOCENT!

Roll #0 9 = 9

319910

>>319906
Oh dear, look! There's a pegasus pony right behind you!

319911

>>319905
'1d10'

>>319904
I move forwards slightly as she backs off
"Is that so? You know, I haven't eaten anything since yesterday. Maybe longer. I forget sometimes."

Roll #1 10 = 10

319912

>>319908
This pegasus looks very lost and confused.

>>319911
But, you saw him, and you know he was definitely going to snatch some of this unicorn's stuff.

319914

>>319908
"Hello there."
I look at the two.
"Well that… makes three of us that are kind of lost.."

>>319911
"Uhhmmm.. are you hungry? I dont know but I might have some food in here. Let me check." I then look inside my bag.
'1d10'

Roll #1 10 = 10

319916

>>319914
>>319911
"Oh, you two are lost too? This doesn't look like Wintergrasp.."

319917

>>319914
>10
You have a lot of food here! Plenty of dried flowers for everyone. They look delicious.

319919

>>319912
>>319916
I stare at the pegasus for a while but say nothing

>>319917
"You've got plenty of food! Gimme some!"

319922

>>319917
I took out one of the packed dried flowers. I'll save some for later.

>>319919
I give her a sad look and scrunch my snout before handing it to her using telekenesis.
"H.. here miss."

319925

>>319917
Food? Oh crap crap crap.
Roll not to give out how hungry I am.

Roll #0 9 = 9

319928

>>319916
Wintergrasp… ?
I then give this new one a sideglance.

"W.. whats a Wintergrasp?"

319929

>>319925
Why, you're a strong pony. You don't need to care. It's alright for you.

319932

>>319922
Grab it and dig in
"Thanks."

>>319928
"I dunno."

319934

>>319928
"Uh… A town? Filled with snow, everywhere!"
Eye the food.
"Say… You don't ming sharing some, right?"

319940

>>319934
"Sharing some?" I tilt my head a bit.

"…. oh some food."
I then go inside my saddlebag and him one of the package. Looks like there are still 8 more left.

>>319932
"You're welcome." I then sit down in a shade and watch them eat.

319942

The sun seems further down the West now.

What will you do now that the sky is turning orange?

319944

>>319942
I look at the setting sun.
Where are we? Mom, Dad?

"What shall we do now?" I look at the two.

319945

>>319942
Turn to the others.
"You know where we are?"

319947

>>319934
"Well this place sure isn't anywhere near the snow."

>>319940
Approach her once I'm done eating

>>319944
>>319945
"No idea. I guess we'll just have to go to that town or something. Maybe sneak in somewhere."

319953

>>319947
Maybe you should! It is getting cold here, after all.
You don't want to camp out here, do you?

319955

>>319947
I look at the town in the horizon.
"Well alright but why sneak in? Nothing bad is going to happen to us if we go there right?"

319963

>>319955
"Duh. They're not gonna let us in for free."
I shake my head at this stupid pony and walk over to that town in the distance

319964

>>319963
What are you going to see?

We'll just have to find out another time, won't we?
