The Darklands. Eldritch locations within the borders of Equestria where nature took care of itself. Nopony dared to enter these dark and twisted places, and so little to nothing was known about them. One of these places was known to the citizens of Ponyville as the Everfree Forest. Nopony went there if they could help it. Nopony, that is, except Typewryter. He had heard of an ancient ruin within the woods, and could not pass up the opportunity to search them. Supposedly, it was the ruin of Celestia and Luna's old castle; who knew what ancient tomes could remain within it's old Library? So he needed a crew... He posted signs throughout Ponyville, "Expedition planned. Great treasures await. Five volunteers needed. Inquire at Typewryter's Archive. Pay: 1000 Bits each, plus bonus." Now he just had to wait. (OOC: This is a serious RP, but feel free to throw in a bit of comedy. Just nothing too silly. I will not simplly accept the FIRST five. once I have AT LEAST five volunteers, I shall decide who will come with me. The rest are welcome to secretly follow, plan your own expidition, or sabatoge mine somehow.)
POSTED ON THE DOOR: Interview. Please answer the following to apply:do you have spelunking experience? What spells can you cast? What special skills do you posses? Are you afraid of the Everfree Forest? Can you fight? How much can you carry? What is your favorite colour?

((OOC:...OK, I'm in as long as you keep the "OMFG EPICNESS" levels under control. Not that I don't like what you write, but sometimes it's a bit too much for my taste. )) Green Mane wasn't having a good day. Most of the other ponies had been ignoring him for various reasons, which wouldn't have bothered him as much if it hadn't been because he seemed to be completely invisible to a certain filly for the last few days. He sighed heavily, wondering why he had even gone to Ponyville in the first place. Whilst walking towards Sugarcube Corner he took notice of a sign in a wall. He read it and raised an eyebrow. "1000 bits... plus bonus?" he told himself. "And it's Typewryter, none the less..." He sighed, remembering what was "the usual" for that specific pony. He still remembered his quarrell against the Shadowbolts, and since then he couldn't feel easy near him. Anyway, he did help him once, and he was in the mood for a little adventure. "Who knows, maybe I get my cutie mark for treasure hunting." He chuckled upon this thought, realizing how much that sounded like one of those little fillies, the Cutie Mark Crusaders. He decided to give it a go, so he left for Typewryter's archive. After all, what was the worst that could happen?

"...yeah, not really. The truth is that this is the first time I've done something like this but, you know, I could give you a hoof in certain matters. I know a good range of spells, actually."

River was walking through town when she saw the ad. "Oooh, an adventure, how exciting," she said, in a mock tone of voice, before heading to Typewryter's inventory. "This should be good."

Pinch was leaving his shop to get some lunch, but he soon stopped in his tracks when he saw a flyer on a nearby post.
"Hmm....adventure, huh?" He shrugged. "Why not? It should be interesting." he said as he made his way toward Typewryter's archive.

"Excellent! More guests! Now, do any of you have spelunking experience? What spells can you cast? What special skills do you posses? Are you afraid of the Everfree Forest? Can you fight? How much can you carry? What is your favorite colour?"

Thomas saw the ad and went to the place but brought his raygun just in case.

Pinch thought for a minute.
"Well, I've been spelunking a number of times on vacations, if that means anything. My magical knowledge is kinda limited, but I know a few good defensive and offensive spells. Plus some good healing spells if needed."
Pinch gave a bit of a nervous smile. "Heh, I've never been into the Everfree Forest, so I wouldn't have anything to BE afraid of....yet."
"I can fight with the best of them, and um....my favorite color is blue? Not exactly sure how that's relevant, but you asked, I suppose."

Pinch looked at Thomas. "Well....that's kinda what I meant by offensive spells. I do have weapons, just magical ones." he said with another nervous smile.

(thomas looks slightly amused) Magic cant always help you *thomas saying while holding up his raygun* what I am holding is not magic but science.

"Well, different strokes, I suppose," Pinch said with a smile. "You use science, I use magic."
