'You walk to the edge of the sand and look into the water. You think you see vibrant magenta eyes staring back, but you're unsure. When you begin to walk into the water to find out, the eyes dart away and you catch a glimpse of a long azure tail.' Put your OC into this situation and act out how he/she reacts! You can make this adventerous, or they can just leave the beach! Please sign up here http://www.everypony.com/forums/showthread.php?6008-Shallow-Waters-RP-sign-up-sheet so I know who is roleplaying.
"Ok, that had to be real" Arrows thought to himself. He readied his bow to attack if something jumped up at him.
Marina shuddered underwater, although it was rather warm. Few ponies visited the beach, and those who did were always hunting down rare sea creatures for money and fame.
"Wait, were those magenta eyes?" Uniqua thought to herself. She had come to the beach to visit her friend Marina, but when she found out the mare wasn't home, she decided to go swimming. Putting 2 and 2 together, Uniqua smiled. She trotted into the water and laughed, "Oh, Marina. Thinking you can keep a secret from me."
"Another sighting? Surely my eyes aren't failing me now, there must be something there. However, the question is what? Surely nothing dangerous, well, probably nothing dangerous. But nothing These ponies and I can't handle on our own." Moonbeam thought. Looking to the pink pony in front of him, "Do you know whats going on here?"
Rashall flew out over the water looking for the face again, not seeing it he landed on a nearby deserted island and rested knowing that he would have to spend the night there.
Marina looked up out of the water. She saw a gray pegasus fly overhead, landing on a nearby island. Marina shuddered again. The pegasus looked familiar, but she didn't want to take a chance.
Marina was surprised she could hear the voice so clearly, even through the water. Curiosity got the better of her, and she peeked her head above the water to look at the island. The gray pegasus was laying on the sand. But they were too far away for Marina to guess who the pegasus was.
Rashall flew to where the pony was and hovered there, he had brought along a cloud to shade himself and to reduce the glare from the sun shinning off of the water. "And who might you be?" Asks Rashall wondering why the mare looked so familiar.
"Shy eh, don't worry I'm just curious that's all. My name's Rashall Firemane, nice to meet you Marina," says Rashall extending his hoof in way of greeting a broad smile showing on his face.
"So what are you doing out here then?" Asks Rashall splitting the cloud he has in half, one portion he puts above him to keep the sun off of him while he lays down on the other a little closer to the surface of the water.
"Oh, uh... It's kind of a long story.. And I mean long... I wouldn't want to bore you." Marina says, itching the back of her gills.
Rashall looks around for a bit and smiles. "Trust me I have time, I don't need to be anywhere important today," he says at last.
"Well, okay." Marina obliges. "But, I'll be right back." She dives back underwater to replenish her gills.
Marina emerges out of the water. "Sorry about that." she laughed. ((Will type her story tomorrow. Really tired, gotta sleep!))
