OOC: You can post with NPC's if you like

Legacy was supposed to go to the Doctor to get her stitches checked out. Instead she had left the country on a vacation. Which she probably wouldn't be returning from. And she held to that even as the tourist group she was in was held captive and… Made to stand in fields. Made sense. Because the fields were dying. And the earth ponies just had a natural affinity to keep the fields growing. They weren't treating her poorly at all. They had given her comfy blankets and everything. It would be no good if the ponies they needed died.

Griffins, dragons, and qilin(kirin), those were the creatures that lived in Mane-Ji. And the crops were dying off from the lack of sunlight.

Hex Mark

What in the world hit me? was the very first thing Hex Mark could wonder once he finally came to. His head was killing him as he opened his eyes, finding himself among a group of earth ponies. Tensing up as his head throbbed for a moment, the stallion slowly stood up and took in his surroundings, only able to understand he was standing in a field. He had never seen these ponies before, nor was the landscape familiar to him; and this had caused him to worry. Everypony seemed like they were unable to leave the area, in fear of what he did not know. However, the stallion simply followed their stead- he did not want to know what would happen if he tried to bolt it.

"Excuse me...does anypony know what this place it?" he asked, hoping for an answer as he tried to think of the situation. No knowledge of the location, the ponies around him, and the reason for the way things are. Last thing he remembered was being in Canterlot during a late night, trotting home from the bakery. He did not have any enemies, or none that he knew of- otherwise he'd suspect somepony had a grudge against him and did this in retaliation.

"Mane-ji bud, you're here to… Stand around really." Said one of the qilin near by, an earth qilin. (Qilin is another word for kirin) "The fields are dying off in this eternal night, and we really need you guys. I hope you understand… Though if you don't, I understand that too."

Legacy sat around, listening in on the qilin talking to the new comer. Mhm. Stuff. Meh. She really didn't care.

"Mane-ji...." he replied, nodding as if accepting that they were there, only for him to register what he was just told. "Wait, what?!" he asked rhetorically- astonished that he had been brought all the way to Mane-Ji. What added to his astonishment was the reason that the kirin gave him for the group of earth ponies being needed: because the fields were dying. So the locals of Mane-Ji needed them as life-support and they had taken them, from what he presumed from his specific case, against their will. He would have protested, but then it occurred to him that this was for a good reason.

"I...I understand.." he finally replied meekly, looking around once more, only to fall onto his rump when he saw a unicorn kirin mare offering him a glass of water. This wouldn't have caught him so off guard were it not for the fact that it was right up in his face the moment he turned to look in her direction. 'I'm sorry if I scared you...I thought that you were thirsty was all." the mare apologized softly as the earth pony got back up. "I-It's alright...t-thanks.." he replied, accepting the glass of water, holding it with his hooves as he smiled nervously, drinking out of it. The water was crisp, cold as ice, but still had a funny taste to it. However, that could simply be because of the fact he was in another continent. As the kirin mare took back the glass, she smiled and walked to the side to keep watch on the other earth ponies.

Hex, on the other hoof, looked around and soon saw Legacy and thought he might aswell try to strike a conversation- at the very least to pass the time. "So...what brought you to Mane-Ji, miss?" he asked the mare, trying not to sound awkward.

'Vacation.' Legacy mouthed Hex, the creatures having taken her glowing baton away for fear she might use it as a weapon. Its glow lingered long enough to write simple words clearly. It had been a gift from a…. Legacy didn't want to say friend. Too many friends recently had stabbed her in the back. Too many it had come to pass that she regretted ever meeting. So for now, mouthing would have to do. She couldn't really speak. It was difficult. A griffin from quite a distance away peered at her stomach.

It had asked before, and hadn't asked since. When Legacy had broken out into tears about it the griffin had assumed it was a delicate matter. But still… It couldn't help but wondering that if an earth pony had an earth foal, if that would make the growing capacity stronger by twice fold.

In an attempt to decipher the mouthing, Hex Mark's eyes widened slightly as he chuckled nervously. "Uh...o-k, whatever floats your boat, I guess.." he replied, mistaking Legacy's answer for 'castration'. He could not understand why a mare would need such a thing, unless Legacy wasn't a mare and just looked like one. It then hit him and he hit his face with his hoof. "Geez, I'm an A-class idiot!" he blurted, annoyed with himself. "Sorry, I mistook what you said for something else." he apologized, his face pink from embarrassment of the thoughts.

Legacy blinked at him and nommed on some hay that the people had brought for her. Yaah… Meh. Whatever. She was here, and not else where. And couldn't speak. So that made sense that he confused what she said. And then there was…. Her mind drifted off. Nevermind. It didn't matter. She just nodded in understanding.

So far nothing had woken her up, not talking or walking about, but the sound of face meeting hoof in a sign of exasperation, woke her quite well. One lavender eye opened, then the other, blinking out of synch a few times before the world cleared of cobwebs enough for her to see. Straw, dry and scratchy was what first came to her filling her sight. She gave the room a really quick look around as she rolled from back to belly.

Small structure, holding area maybe? She pondered, Unarmored guard, but is a caster. Slowly she stood, stretching her limbs out and finally letting out a noisy yawn, "Not the worst place I've woken up before, but it's going on the top ten for sure." The purple mare freed herself of the straw pile and gave herself a hard shake to remove some stray bits of the clingy stuff. The motion also gave her cover to examine herself a bit and note with no small amount of annoyance that every last bit of her gear was gone. Bleeding, bloody hells.

"So, either of you," she stopped, and looked at the inside of her foreleg before continuing on, "L...egacy?"

As Hex tried to forget about his blunder, he decided to partake in some of the hay that he had been allotted. It wasn't much, but it still was something to eat- and it did at least satisfy his stomach. As he looked up, he noticed another mare had been there, finally coming to. Just how many of them did these Mane-Ji folk need? Well, at least it seemed that this new mare recognized Legacy, which gave something to talk about at the very least. Sure, he wasn't one for conversation- but it was easier than just worrying about what would happen to them.

"You know her?" he asked casually, or at least as close to a casual tone as he could muster.

'Me?' Legacy's confusion was apparent. How did the mare know her name? 'How do you know my name?' She mouth, not a single sound coming out of her mouth. It was strange to have this all the sudden come out. Had there been some sort of missing sign put up? She had no idea. But yah… This was really weird. Who could be looking for her? She hoped it wasn't Nocturne. Or Icefox. Or Snow Bird. All of them had been an abysmal hole inhere life. And meeting them had been the worst thing ever.

She looked to Hex, shrugging. Maybe they had met, but Legacy's memory wasn't the best their ever was.

"Oh good!" She said brightly, sauntering a few steps closer before sitting down on the ground. "I was worried I'd gone through the trouble of going and getting myself snatched up and I'd end up in an Organ farm or something and all that'd be left of you was a mashed up pile of gore!" She macerated some imaginary gore between her hooves for a moment before stopping to smile at the pair.

"We, are not at some scary organ farm right? Cause I hate it when I'm right." She looked around warily, "Probably not, I don't think they'd have put us all in one paddock or even let us wake up if that were the case." She paused a moment, putting her hoof against her chin then asked with genuine curiosity, "Why did they foalnap you two anyway?"

"Well...at the very least there is some familiarity in all of this." Hex replied, sitting down aswell as he tried to think of a way to explain this situation. This mare was chatty compared to Legacy, but it seemed the two had known each other in the past, with the former having a better memory than the latter. "They need us alive...Allegedly, we're here to keep their crops alive. From what I can gather, us Earth Ponies have a natural affinity with the land, and something about that enables our presence to keep the fields alive during this eternal night." he tried to explain, but then he realized something. Legacy was on vacation in Mane-Ji before this occurred, and he could only assume that the other mare had been in the area too.

"But there's something I do not understand.." he started as he pondered this. "While I understand their reasons for foalnapping Earth Ponies, I do not understand why they went so far out of their way...I mean, last I remember before waking up here was being in Canterlot." he explained his confusion. If they needed to go all the way to Canterlot to foalnap an Earth Pony, something else had to be wrong than just a few dying crops. "Since we're sharing our names, my name is Hex Mark." he added after a brief hesitation. He was hoping none of these ponies knew of his name- more specifically about his sister and grandpa.

Legacy looked at her stomach, as if looking for any fresh and open, bleeding wounds. Only the old scars… No new ones. She froze for a moment, mane stiff as the flashback overtook her briefly. Then it was over, yet still, she was rattled. And then looked back at Rough Cut, shaking her head. No one had stolen her kidneys. Legacy itched at her eyes, trying to cover up a tear that had started to form during her flashback. Okay. Back down. It was over now.

A hoof extended toward Hex as he finished his introduction, "Glad to meet you! I'm Rough Cut." She glanced at her fore legs and chest for just a moment then giggled a bit. Her front was a patchwork of older and newer scars, dots, gashes and the odd swirl, all a lavender hue close to that of her eyes. She manages to stifle the giggle for a moment before she ponders the new information and presents her rebutal, "I'm no farmer, rock or otherwise, but don't crops need light to grow? Or are they already onto mushrooms?"

She noticed then Legacy's peculiar reaction and grimaced, "Sorry, I, uhh didn't mean to scare you. Really I'm here to help!" Though she was getting the feeling that she or even their captors might need the help more than the green mare before her.

"Nice to meet you, Rough Cut." Hex replied, accepting the hoof-shake and smiled, adjusting his glasses with his free hoof as he continued to think about how little sense the kirin had made. This was only reinforced by Rough Cut's rebutal- the fact that they needed light to grow crops rather than earth ponies. "That's what has me wondering...There has to be something else to this. I'd say the locals are trying some crazy superstitious nonsense- but if a pony like The Sleeping Dragon came from here- I'd have to give these folks more credit then that." he replied, thinking.

"Something is definitely amiss here. Why would they foalnap so many earth ponies if they crops aren't the reason?" he asked softly, trying to figure it out.
