Yah. Run run. No use really. They couldn't do anything at all. They could fight if they wanted, but Legacy knew that it wasn't possible. They couldn't do anything at all. |

Rough cut reached for Hex, but was out of reach, she wanted to grab him by the mane and headbutt him, giving up like that! Making an agreement like that. All of it was unconsionable, if he'd gotten up the stones to throw a buck himself they'd all be on their way out of the building; on their way to freedom from whatever it was that was waiting for them. As she was placed back on the ground she stomped hard and scowled at Hex Mark, 'not this way.' she mouthed at him, before she turned about and returned to the holding area. She had decided not to press the attack, partly because it would have impuned Hex's honor and honor was one thing she'd learned you just don't impune. She cussed for a bit, not lady like she knew but she needed to vent, Rough Cut was all worked up with no where to go. Stomping about the far end of the room as she was, she hardly noticed that Legacy was still down and out of it. She did however start to as her cursing became more benign and the shakes hit. Normally those waited until an hour or more after all the fighting and escaping danger was done, but the sudden high paired with the sudden drop in need was enough to send her system all out of whack. The mare slowly returned to standing close to Legacy, then she sat down a few feet off, "So. How'd you like the show? Was is it as horrible to watch as it was to experience?" She snarked with a grin. |

Legacy didn't even meet the mare's eyes, clearly not having liked the show in the least bit. It proved everything she had feared and worse. Not only was she defenseless, all earth ponies were as well. She had a use. She had a function. And no more. She was an object to be used only, with not even basic self defense capabilities against the others of her kind. Unicorns and pegusi… How were earth ponies ever supposed to compete? The umber mare was starting to suspect that the pre-Hearth's Warming world had been shader than it had seemed. Earth ponies getting the bad end of the stick because… Despite their strength, they were the weakest ones of all. |

This was getting old, what was this mare wallowing in? She'd gone all twiggy at the insinuation that she'd gone and had some fun without remembering it. Was she one of those Straight Arrows that couldn't conscience ever looking at another mare like that? Then it dawned on her, "You don't like me at all do you," she said more as statement than as a question. It was a confuseing thought, yeah sure most ponies got tired of her antics after a while, but most seemed to like her well enough out of the gate. She shook her head, "It was the come ons, wasn't it, too strong. Dumb dumb dumb. Look I'm still gonna get us outta here, they'll need more guards than they got to keep me in here for very long. When I make my break for it, you really should come along, if only to get away, OK?" She spoke at a conspiratorial whisper, so as to try and keep the guards unaware that she'd like be trying another break out soon. |

Legacy shrugged at the okay. There was no way that the mare was going to be able to escape any how. She could ramble all she liked, but it was impossible. As for Rough Cut thinking that she hated her, Legacy didn't feel like comforting the mare. She was tired from having tired running before, and tired of friends. They weren't worth the bother and the eminent betrayal that they would bring. Because of her so called friends she couldn't even escape to her own world any more. All that brought was pain. And all the real world brought was pain. There was no happy place. |

“Before you go off doing something stupidly heroic.... again, might I suggest seeing if all the rest of us have any ideas on getting out of this mess first?” A voice dryly commented. The voice came from an Earth Pony dressed in a concealing black cloak. Noblesse has been travelling incognito to Fuscus to try to re-establish diplomatic communication when he was captured, and, since he was incognito, none of his captors recognize him as a noble. At least he had that going for him. He was standing at the head of a group of their fellow Earth Pony captives, a group he had rounded up while those three Rough, Legacy, and Hex had so conveniently provided a distraction. Most were simply farmers and merchants, not a warrior in the bunch, but with a little convincing by Noblesse each was determined to win their freedom. “I’ve been eavesdropping on the guards as they speak amongst themselves in Manjiese, thinking we could not understand them. I’m starting to formulate a plan, however if you act hastily it will. Not. Work. We need to bide our time for now, is that clear?” |

Rough looked up at the fellow, then at his posse. They really didn't seem like much to her, but the casters here did not seem by and large to be particularly powerful and they would pretty easily out number the guards, particularly in pockets. This was the sort of thing the purple mare could get behind. She smiled at him, "So what did you have in mind then?" |

Legacy glanced at him then looked back to the ground. Whatever. Wasn't like she'd be able to do much anyhow. She could hardly even run after all, it wasn't like she was going to be able to run away if they actually succeeded. Legacy would be the least hasty of all, neither initiating action or being quick in whatever action the earth pony set forth. It was doomed to fail anyhow. There were too many unikirins around, griffens. They wouldn't be able to face up against them. It was hopeless. |

((I hope you guys don't mind me setting the scene a bit more?)) "First off, the guards can be roughly divided up into two groups. The majority are just local villagers. They don't like having to do this, but they are scared and desperate. The second group, consisting of, at best, one tenth of the guards watching over us are the direct servants of the local princess," He explains sketching out a rough diagram of the fenced in field they were in as well as the outbuilding into which Hex had been dragged. As he talks he sketches in Xs for the villager-mooks and Os for the servants. The servants were spread evenly around the field with a small cluster protecting the outbuilding, while the less professional villagers were scattered in small groups here and there, "Don't underestimate the servants just because they are a collection of maids and butlers. They are professional, used to working together as a team, and evidently completely loyal to their princess. Plus, you know, they've already captured all of us at once. Furthermore, from what I heard, the head maid, one Sakuya, used to be an accomplished demon slayer before serving under the princess. I don't know the truth about that, but we should try to avoid her if we can." "Ideally, the best time to make our break is when most of the servants are preoccupied tending to their Princess leaving us with just the villagers to contend with. That said, at the moment time and patience are our best bet. If we rush things we will be lost. Plus, I want to see if your friend comes back out, and hear his report about what's inside. Until then, our best bet is to make them underestimate us. Make them think we're weak and disorganized." "Hrm, and for the sake of appearing disorganized, and I do apologize in advance for this....." He says somewhat uncomfortably before aiming a fast punch at Rough Cut's snout to establish superiority. (As well to make the guards think they were just arguing, not plotting and scheming) Edited by Queshire, Sep 6 2012, 11:38 AM.

This was a good plan, well informed and everything. There was only one problem: the stupid buck thought a punch would take Rough Cut down enough pegs for her to stick up her bum and submit. That was not about to happen. The adventurous mare caught the tensing of muscles, just in time to start rolling with the punch but not dodge or negate the force more than a little. She staggered back a few steps and fixed her gaze on the offending buck; a drip of dark red blood soon dribbled from her left nostril. She licked at it, spitting out the blood to add drama to what she was about to say, "Think you're the big buck on the farm, don'tcha?" She sniffled noisily and spat out a bloody loogie to join the smaller blob of blood. Her expression darkened, fundamentally she understood what was going on, Noblesse was trying to show he was in charge by cowing the largest mare in the penned in area. Said mare however would have been better convinced to follow by words than by force; force after all was what she specialized in. "Well, if you wanna fight over who gets to lead? Fine, we can fight about that!" She stepped back into range of the Duke's duke and coiled herself, purposefully letting the wind up be seen before suddenly throwing herself into a body tackle. She wasn't however aiming to hurt him with the tackle alone, instead she wanted to grab him and use strength gained from years of wearing heavy armor and fighting monsters plus experience growing up with several rowdy and rough brothers to wrestle Noblesse to the ground. There she planned to tie him up in his own limbs and make him cry uncle. She'd teach him to Sucker Punch Rough Cut! |

The earth pony thought himself so smart. But there were unicorns with intelligence too. It didn't matter how smart one was, they would always be at the bottom of the heap. There was nothing they could ever do about it. Legacy was tired now… She supposed she'd try and get some sleep while she could. And hope that the nightmares wouldn't wake her up. Not that she had much hope for that. They always came. There was no running, not ever. There was no peace of mind, not even for a second. So here she was. Not that it mattered... |

((DISCLAIMER! I do not and have not practiced Savate. I am only going by what I have read in fiction and can find on the internet. I apologize for any inconsistencies.)) A gentleman does not “rassle.” They do, however, box, fence, shoot, and practice the martial art of Savate. Rough Cut wouldn’t find THIS particular noble easy to beat down.... well, IF he was actually trying to win the fight instead of just staging the fight for the guard’s benefits. It took an effort of will to go against the training drummed into him by his father, his mentor, and the Guard and just take the tackle, but he manages it, taking the tackle on his broadside and going down in a tangle of limbs. Of course, it’s not like he would just roll over and let her win. He planned on fighting with her until the guards would be forced to come and break them up, aiming powerful yet not-permanently-damaging Savate kicks at her ribs. |

Kicking me. Really? That's why I wear. "Oof!" That one hurt a lot more than she'd expected, a lot more. She'd not even thought to tense up at the impact site. The pain almost made her release her grip, instead she returned the first kick with a head butt and a quick attempt to climb over onto Noblesse's back. A better place to put the fellow into a submission position, worse for her opponent, she was remembering to tense now and the kicks were hitting muscles built up from years of heavy labor and armored combat. Though her pain receptors were not dulled to the kicks the intended level of damage and slowing her down effect was not happening. Noblesse would need to up his game a bit to stop Rough Cut from finding a position from which she could put him into a submission move from. |

“Wheee!” A white earth pony went flying over the fence into the field, landing on her back directly on top of the fighting ponies with a noticeable thud. She quickly rolled off and pulled herself to her hooves, stumbling a bit as she tried to keep her balance despite the spinning world, before shaking her head to free her blue mane. Summer Joy had been trotting back towards Ponyville at night when she was suddenly grabbed by a trio of unikirins and promptly carried all the way here… while she was conscious. It was no wonder they wanted to get rid of her as soon as possible; poor unikirins. Summer looked around hastily at her surroundings, noticing that everypony here was an earth pony. Huh. Interesting. The blue-maned earth pony didn’t appear to be bothered about the confused eyes of the crowd focusing on her, and happily moved onto questions. “Hey! So, uhm…” she looked around the field as she rustled her own mane a little with a hoof. “Where are we?” |

((Hrmmmm....... should we go with like a round robin type of GMing where we each do a little bit of GMing in our posts?)) ’Well that’s one way to break up a fight I suppose.’ Noblesse thought picking himself up from where he was thrown clear by Summer’s rather dynamic entry and dusting himself off. From the manjise curses he could over hear, they had played to the stereotype of the stupid, violent, spoiled Equestrian Pony perfectly. All that was left now was just waiting to see how things lie and when would be the best time to put the plan into action. |
