Pony Playing: Dusk Plum Option Taken: A.) Head straight for the sound!
RP Response:
Dusk surprised that he hadn't fallen in the water was equally more so to come across yet another plush. Did these belong to the lost Pixie? If so that meant the group was on the right track. Filled with hope Dusk leaped off the last wet log onto dry land and eagerly went towards any of the ponies swimming out of the river to help. It was then that he heard the shrill scream and without pause to reason the situation he ran towards the sound with only the thought that somepony needed help.

Pony Playing: Dawn Frost Option Taken: B.) Stop to check the blue thing.
RP Response: First of all, what was with all the plushies? Was the pixie hauling a bag with a hole in it or something ridiculous like that? It really made no sense. Her head snapped up when the scream reached her ears, but rather than rushing forward as some others did, she hung back and so was given the opportunity to see something odd and blue hanging from a bush. Instead of rushing after the others, she headed over toward it cautiously. Enough strange things had happened so far that she could easily assume the scream could be a trap, and even if it wasn't, others were rushing to aid the screamer, so she didn't feel she was doing the wrong thing by investigating this blue object instead.
Pony Playing:Berri Berri Option Taken:A) Head straight for the noise
RP Response: Berri heard the scream and started to run after it. When she saw some ponies stopping to look at a bush she scoffed. Someone's life could be in danger.

Pony Playing:Aster Option Taken: B.) Stop to check the blue thing.
RP Response: Aster jumped from log to log occasionally using magic just to steady himself. He really didn't want to fall in. He paused spotting another plushie and shrugged. Lifting it with magic he placed it in his bags.
Once he made it to dry land he checked on the rest of the group and saw that those who swam were perfectly okay, if only wet. He was looking around as the wet ponies dried off when the scream sounded. His head jerked up and he looked in the direction of the scream. He saw everyone else starting to run after the sound and began to join them. A flash of blue caught his eye making him pause. A thought of 'it's a trap' flashed through his mind but then he considered it. Either thing, the scream or the blue thing, could be a trap. He decides to take a chance and check on the blue thing. After all it was possibly on the way to whoever screamed and it was possible that he could still help the screamer.

If you picked A:
You head straight for the sound, crashing through bramble to find a distressed black and pink pegasus standing on top of a large rock, which is surrounded by the dark water. Something beside the rock drops back into the water, too fast to be seen by anyone. The pony spots you, flapping what seems to be a broken wing in greeting.
"Help me!" They cry out frantically, stomping their hooves on the rock. What do you do? Look below!
If you picked B:
You head for the blue thing, finding a bunny shaped balloon stuck in a bush. Carefully prying it out, you have a balloon now! You aren't really sure how useful that can be.... really, but hey, it's cute, right?
Except, something behind you moves, and suddenly the world goes dark. Half an hour later you'll wake to find yourself at the start of the swamp, with a rather large welt on your head. At least you have a balloon, right? You are out of the game!
Everyone:
For those who did not go after the blue object, you've found a frightened and injured Pegasus stuck on a large rock. The water around them ripples as something under it moves, trapping the Pegasus where they are. What do you do?
This round does not have set options! Instead, in bold, state what you attempt to do to save the Pegaus + RNG 1-100!
Use the form below when responding to this prompt. Next round is on May 19th!

Pony Playing:Berri Berri Option Taken: Save the pony!
RP Response: Berri saw the terrified Pegasus in the middle of the water. Springing into action berri thought of how she had gotten across the water and began to search the ground for something that could float enough for the Pegasus to stand on. Finding what she hoped was a decent peoce of wood she tested its floating capability the first one sank. She then found another until she's found one that did indeed float. Now she has to hope luck would let her be able to push it close enough for the Pegasus to grab it. And hope it was sturdy enough to hold those weight.
Pony Playing:Aster Option Taken: None! Aster is out of the running/swamp
RP Response: Aster tilted his head as he saw the blue thing was a balloon. It was pretty cute and a rather odd find out here in the swamp. He carefully removes it from the bush and ties it to his bag. He goes to turn so he can catch up with the others when suddenly everything goes black.
With a groan Aster comes to back at the start of the swamp with a killer headache. Something or someone had hit him on his head knocking him out. He wasn't sure how much time had passed but decided that it was too late to find everyone else and not safe to go into the swamp alone. So his adventure to help the lost pixie was over. He slowly headed back to town hoping he'd be able to find something to get rid of his headache.

Pony Playing: Dusk Plum Option Taken: Assist Berri Berri with their plan cautiously of what may be in the water
RP Response:
Once at the scene Dusk wide eyed and ready to spring into action had to forcibly pull himself back from getting too close to the dark water and calm down. Something had caught his eye where the Pegasus once did and whatever it was fell back into the watery depths. This had become suspicious. Just how many ponies were out here lost and in danger? If the group wasn't careful that could be them too. Taking a few steps back the Unicorn accessed the situation. The water was suspicious, this wasn't the pony they were looking for, ponies were missing from the group from when they had first entered the swamp, Berri Berri was trying to help the Pegasus and had the smart idea to use something to float over to them than getting too close themselves. But wait if they successfully got the makeshift raft to work how would the pony get back towards the land? Dusk turned towards one of the swamp's many trees hoping to find a strong and long enough vine to use as a rope. Pulling on vines testing each one's strength once Dusk thought he found the right one and pulled the vine down with his telekinesis before trotting back towards Berri Berri with his find, but Berri had already push the raft towards the rock. Improvising Dusk attempted to use telekinesis to tie the rope around the raft.

Pony Playing: Buckwheat Option Taken: Help the raft project by distracting whatever's in the water!
RP Response: Not the pixie they were looking for, but not really someone they could just abandon to their fate, either. Buckwheat's gaze roved over the pegasus' broken wing and the murky water around him, lighting only afterwards on the efforts of some of the other ponies in their...hang on, rapidly-dwindling group? Who was missing and why weren't they here?
Whatever. Buck tossed her head, letting all that fusty disapproval guide her actions. Not important right now. What was important was making sure that those two making some semblance of raft could do what they needed to do without interference - and that was something she could handle.
Casting about on the bank, it didn't take too long for Buck to get her teeth around the largest branch she could carry. She set it up see-saw style away from Berri and Dusk, and proceeded to lever her weight on one end, wiggling it about and slapping the water raucously in an attempt to distract whatever-it-was moving within. As long as she could get...she fancied some sort of monster? focused on herself instead of the raft-builders, they might actually get it across to the disabled flier.

Berri Berri's attempt to save the Pegasus actually works! The Pegasus looks relieved, practically glueing themselves to Berri Berri. Finally, they're safe!
Now that the Pegasus is safe and with the group, they have two options! The pony who saved them can escort them out of the swamp, or they can stay with the group. (The winner must let Yushika know if they wish to keep the Pegasus or not. If they keep, the winner must leave the game. If they do not, the Pegasus will be given out through RNG at the end to all those who participated).
Now that everything is calm, the group sits down to rest. Food is given out, and you have the option to eat your egg if you found one! (Please label in bold if you eat your egg). The group takes an hour long break, chattering amongst themselves about the adventure they currently were on. It seems you've gotten further than any other search party! How lucky for you!
Lunch is now over and everyone feels ready to continue. Before you is a trial that forks. To the right the trial turns even darker, but glowing mushrooms help illuminate the path. To the right the path is lighter than the rest of the swamp.
The decision is yours, what do you do?:
A.) Choose the darker path. B.) Choose the lighter path.
The next round will be on May 20th!

Pony Playing:Berri Berri Option Taken: Escort the pegasus out of the swamp!
RP Response: Once the pegasus reached shore safely Berri began tending to their injured wind, being an adventurist she had basic first aid training. "I have to take him to get this looked at. You two can find the pixie on your own?" She looked back once again to the pegasus clinging to her. "I will get you home safely." It was then Berri started her trek back out of the swamp Pegasus in tow.
Pony Playing: Dusk Plum Option Taken: Choose the lighter path
RP Response:
Feeling a little uncomfortable being so close to the water, Dusk scooted even closer away from the shore before sitting down. It wasn't until he took the time to sit did he feel how sore his hooves felt. They had been tracking through the swamp for a while now and while part of him was glad they took a break, his mind was still on finding the Pixie as soon as possible.
Looking over the egg and considering whether or not to eat it Dusk decided to stick to the food already handed out as he did not want to over eat if they were to head out again so soon. As he ate Dusk watched Berri tend to the pegasus, and once they left to head out he too got up from his perch and headed down the path.
Yet another fork in the road and with that came another decision to make. If a pony was going to get lost it would be on the darker path where they could loose their way? But if they were already lost wouldn't they be scared and go somewhere that felt more comfortable such as the lighter path? The decision was hard, but he felt drawn towards the lighter path and with only a knowing look back at Buckwheat Dusk headed down the left side path.

Pony Playing: Buckwheat Option Taken: A.) Choose the darker path.
RP Response: Back to the matter at hand. Buck rested with the remainder of their group, eating her egg in silence, glad that their plan to rescue the pegasus had worked - at least one lost pony would escape the swamp today. Once the rest was over, she caught Dusk's knowing look. Glad that one of the paths would be taken care of for sure, the mare turned resolutely down the other. No pixies getting lost in the dark on her watch, no sir.

If you picked A:
You picked the darker path. As you enter swamp grows dramatically dark. The only way you can even see is by using the glow of the mushrooms around you. As you travel, you can hear the soft sound of someone crying. RNG 1-100.
If you picked B:
You enter the lighter path, finding it's rather easy to traverse. You find a creepy plushie as you travel. You get to the end of the path and wait patiently for the person who took the darker road.
There are no options for this round.
