Magical Dip in the Pond

13 July 2016

15:54 Ruzeth is tiny zebra...looks probably not a colt, but who knows. He bounces around rather energetically though, and has blue eyes. A set of gold rings adorn his mane and tail, separating out different braids.

15:56 Zephyrus observes the tiny zebra bouncing around him, sitting up slowly and tilting his head as he followed him move around, tail flicking up and down while his claws curled out of their sheaths slightly.

16:00 Ruzeth has a brown bag that jingles on his back, sounding a bit like glass clinking together. With a grin he hops up onto the back of the much bigger catbird and straddles him in front of his wings. "Hiya there~ I'm Ruzeth~" he chirps, sounding like a bundle of energy.

16:05 Zephyrus tilts his head as he hears the clicking glass or... well... something that resembles that sound. He flicks his tail, turning his head to look back at the small Zebra, his wings ruffling before folding up again. "Nice to meet you, Ruzeth~ my name is Zephyrus~"

16:13 Ruzeth smiles down at the gryphon and reaches forward to boop his beak. "I dont think I've ever seen a gryphon as big as you around here. you're like...twice as big as the ones I see come off the ships," he comments. 

16:22 < Ruzeth> (boops Zephyrus~)

16:33 Zephyrus snorts a little at the book, moving his head back as he tilted his head, observing Ruzeth a little more "Well I don't travel by ship to here. What are you doing on my back though? and why are you on your own, young one?"

16:36 Ruzeth giggles and then places a hoof on his pack, causing it to jiggle. "Oh...I'm on my way too a clearing in the middle of this enchanted forest. I need to collect some of teh spring water from there, as well as the featherlillies that grow near it. I'm making something that calls for it." He doesnt answer the other question and instead just rubs a hoof down the gryphon's neck. "Its nice to meet a new friend though~"

16:42 Zephyrus blinks and chuckles, rolling his eyes a little at the response though nodding once "I see. Well the enchanted forest is probably not the best place for a young colt like you. What would call for things that are growing or located in the depths of dangerous terrain?" He asked, the soft downs letting the hoof sink in between them.

16:49 Ruzeth bristles at the gryphons words. "I'm not a colt. I'm a full grown stallion," he declares. "I've here in equestria by myself for 3 months now." He then pulls a bottle out of his bag. its a dark black with hazy white smoke clouding the air. "And I've got plenty of tricks to deal with teh dangers out there. Take this for example, it'll create a cloud of painful stinging smoke. I can take care of the wildlife. And i'm quiet, i snuck up on you afterall. Anyways, somepony was asking for a wings in a bottle, and well I ran out of those ingredients." 

17:00 Zephyrus blinks a little before nodding once, flicking his tail "I apologize for my presumption. I hope it wasn't too hurtful." He responded, observing the dark smoke in the bottle. He gave a not at his later remark, inhaling and exhaling twice "I do think you are quite the sneaker, yes. I did not hear you, even if I am good at hearing."

17:11 Ruzeth gives a little nod back and then then asserts playfully. "Since I snuck up on the powerful gryphon and hopped in his back that means I've asserted my dominance right? So Zephy, can I ask you to give me a ride to the clearing?" It seems already the little one had already come up with a nickname for his new friend.

17:16 Zephyrus frowned for a second though chuckled afterwards, flaring his wings a little "If you are sure about trusting someone random like that?" He questioned before giving a beat of his wings, lifting himself off the ground some before continuing with more beats, steadily rising up and into he air. He remained in place though, unsure as to where to fly, obviously.

17:23 Ruzeth thought it had sounded like a good idea at the time...but as soon as they lifted above the treetops, the little pony began to get nervous and wraps his hooves as tight as he can around the base of Zephyrus's neck. "Uhh...its...its...About five miles north north east of here...has a big crystal pond in the middle," he says, keeping his eyes well off the ground. Maybe this wasnt such a good idea after all.

17:32 Zephyrus blinks and lowers down a little once more to get him closer to the ground, soon enough beginning to follow the general direction given to him by the tiny Zebra, wings beating steadily and the speed rather moderate, not too fast, not too slow so they would reach the pond and yet not worry the smaller one too much.

17:38 Ruzeth breathes a little easier as they get closer to teh ground, but he still keeps his hooves wrapped tightly around Zephyrus. He casts his eyes about looking for the spring and then sees it. With a gleeful noise he points a hoof down towards teh clearing. "Oh there it is~ We're nearly there."  He then quickly closes his eyes to no longer have to look at the ground.

18:17 < Ruzeth> (Boop Zephyrus~

18:31 Zephyrus approached it steadily now, landing on the ground soon enough as he crouched down for the stallion to slip off of his neck "I guess you want to go find your ingredients then." He sprawls and flicks his tail, ruffling his wings.

18:37 < Ruzeth> (The temptation for shenanigans and suddenly Pony or Dragon or TIny Zephyrus is tempting :P)

18:51 Ruzeth opens his eyes as soon as he feels the gryphon hit the ground. Quickly he vacates Zephyrus' back and then hugs the ground below him. "I...uhh...forgot I hate flying..." He groans out. THe little zebra then gets up to his hooves and wanders over towards teh stream. He takes off his pack and sets it asside, before fishing out a large gallon jug, and dipping it into the water.

19:03 Zephyrus looks over the salon jug, his head tilting slowly before looking over the pond, inhaling and exhaling. He wandered over tot he edge of it, laying down near it. He did not take a sip though. unsure if this was some sort of special water that would have effects that come with consuming it.

19:06 < Ruzeth> (Zephyrus did anything of that sound intersting?)

19:08 < Zephyrus> (I am not sure what to say :P strange effects are certainly doable, though i am more surprise factor based :P your pond, silly thing)

19:08 < Ruzeth> (Right, but I didnt know if you were intersted in strage effects :P)

19:09 < Zephyrus> (oh x3. well you can have them happening. Zeph is more nahm then nahmed :P)

19:10 < Ruzeth> (I mean...I admit I dont know where I"m going with this, might be just stay playful :P

19:11 < Zephyrus> (;3)

19:11 < Ruzeth> (I'm not opposed to nyam~ Just let what happens happen~)

19:12 < Zephyrus> (nyams Ruzeth)

19:12 Ruzeth fills up the bottle and pulls hte heavy jug out of the water. He then sets it asside and hops right in, spashing around in it. He throws some water up at Zephy. "Come on in! The water's fine. I've swam in this many a time~"

19:14 Zephyrus recoils a little as he is hit with water, his head shaking from side to side to clear the liquid away before snorting, clicking his beak once before smirking and pouncing on the Zebra, jumping into the water!

19:18 Ruzeth squeals as he sees the gryphon leap into the air and then splash down upon him, plunging the little zebra down underneath the water. He swims out from underneath the gryphon and comes to the surface afterwards, to rub against the tiercel. The cool water flows over his mane, feeling excellent in the hot sun. "So have you lived in Seaddle your entire life? Or are you just visiting? I grew up in zebrica, all the way accross the sea," he inquires.

19:18 < Ruzeth> (So the RP channel is set in Seaddle, a port city on the centra west coast of equestria :P)

19:34 < Ruzeth> (boop Zephyrus!)

19:51 Zephyrus exhales a little as he watched the other one swim about, keeping his wings folded to his side, paddling around in the cool waters "I have been traveling a lot lately, searching for a spot to stay and this seems like a good place to rest for a while. You came from Zebrica you say? I come from the heart of Gryphonia."

20:08 Ruzeth nods to zephyrus and gives him another splash of the icy water before leaning down and taking a couple gulps. The water had a nice crisp taste to it, fed from a spring itself, and some of the best in the area. "Oooh all the way from there? I think I've met a lot of gryphons from there...like almost none of yall are born in equestria." The zebra gets out of the water now and shakes off, leaving zephyr to swim about a little bit more. He grabs his pack, and a small vial flows out of it and drifts into the water. If the gryphon wasnt paying attention, he might break it and contaminate the pool around him.

20:52 Zephyrus continued to paddle through the waters, his wings beating eventually to push him forwards through the crisp waters, dipping his head underneath to take a gulp of water or two as well, rumbling before getting back up. The paddling left him to sometimes beat at the ground, he not noticing the vial. His tail flicked from side to side, splashing water this way and that, flinging some at Ruzeth as he chuckled to himself, enjoying the bath.

21:00 Ruzeth had turned away from the pool to begin picking the feather flowers that lined the area. He occasionally turns to look over at Zephyrus and give him a grin. The gryphon's motions cause him to step on the and release its magic into the surrounding water. While the effects were not instant by any means, as the potion absorbs into his body, he'd find that his skin begins to itch as his chest feathers begin to pull into his body, becoming replaced with fur, and his beak slowly becomes fleshy. His wings begin to change from feathery things to long bony ones with flaps. He doesnt shrink, but it seems that Zephyrus is slowly turning into a bat pony in the water.

21:07 Zephyrus drifted about slowly, his changes slow enough to not be too noticed by the Gryphon too early. Scratching his chest a little at the itching he eventually caught on though, blinking and looking down at himself, his wings beating repeatedly as he began to panic, giving a confused squawk as he splashed about wildly, his new ears splayed back while his wings splashed water left and right. He gripped at his new muzzle, squeezing it before f

21:09 < Ruzeth> (Zephyrus you cut off at "before f"

21:10 < Ruzeth> (So uhh just copy/paste after that)

21:13 < Zephyrus> reezing up some, slowly sinking until almost fully submerged before he began to swim back to the edge, his breathing hastened.

21:14 Ruzeth looks back over at Zephyrus with a bit of wide eyes as he notices the changes and stops what he's doing o rush over to his friend. "Oh my gosh, are you alright? Are you a weregryphon? Why are you growing bat wings?" He asks, all rather concerned for hi snew friend as he reaches into the water to try and pull him up. Even a pair of fangs would sprout from Zephyrus's lips, giving him the bloodsucking powers of a batpone.

21:55 Zephyrus shuddered and tensed up, shaking the water from his body as he stood on solid ground once more, shivering all over, his fur standing on end while his wings remained wide open, the tips of his hooves curled into the dirt he was standing on instinctively like he normally would do with his claws. His tongue slowly licked over the new fangs, trying to hide them with his lip. "W-what...." He seemed more than phased by it all,tail flicking

22:07 < Ruzeth> (Zephyrus he seemed more than phased by it all, tail flicking

22:08 < Zephyrus> once.

22:12 Ruzeth steps around the rather large bat pony and runs a hoof along his wet white fur. A pretty blue mane sprung from his hair resembling the blue tips that had dotted his crest moments ago. "So...then...I guess your confusion rules out you being a weregryphon...." His eyes drift over towards the pool...where he sees a strange green spot in the water. THe zebra runs over to his packs and examines...yep that potion was gone. "Uh....I think I spilled something in there..."
