(What do the rest of you guys think? He’d be coming in a bit late, admittedly.)

“Sorry again for giving you all a scare…” Gerry rubbed the back of his head.
 
Dash was getting impatient.

@TheSadScubaDiver  
“Thank you, Mr. Gerry.” she said to the griffon, bowing to him in the process. “Try not to get into trouble…but if you do, we’ll do everything we can to help you get out of it.”
 
Coming from a pegasus like Fluttershy, those words of helping someone like Gerry out sounded like a tall order: she was the most frail out of the six Elements and had the least of combative skill, despite the times. The most she had going for her was her agility and “The Stare”, and even that trick only works on so few. Still, for everything Gerry was risking, she had to do something for him.

And that’s when it hit her: where was the other unicorn? “Oh gosh, Alex!” she said with a gasp as she looked back up to the tree she jumped into. “Alex, sweetie? Are you okay up there? I didn’t hurt you, did I?”

(Here.)

@neutralgrey  
(Yo!)

(Yo)

@HatOfDisguise  
(I’ll answer you once I figure out who else–if anyone–is still active here besides me and Dave.)

[OOC: That could be feasible, but my character is not a very big fan of water for biological reasons. Perhaps castaway off a nearby wreck?]

@TheSadScubaDiver  
Dana gave Dash a nuzzle.

Gerry nodded. “I’ll… I’ll do what I can. And maybe I’ll try to confront him while I’m at it, see what his plan is over here. His modus operandi.”
 
Dash frowned. “Well, whatever we’re going to do, we’d better get there soon, right?” She crossed her arms. “May as well get it over with.”
 
Truth be told, she was kind of wishing her other friends would be there as well. But no use wishing for something that couldn’t happen, right?
 
(Sorry! I’ve had SATs, and things have been chaotic. Hope all of you are here, though, because I’m ready to continue it!)

(I am awake)

@TheSadScubaDiver  
((Yeah, I was meaning to make a back story for that. You’re right about Fluttershy having to swim thee rest of the way to the island, but she had a bit of help getting there: a school of sharks ‘influenced’ to help her get there. And why would she be surrounded by sharks in the first place? Because the captain of the personal ship she hitched a ride on was freaking out, seeing these haunted spirits surrounding him. He though that by tossing the poor mare into the ocean, the curse would be lifted, but…well, that’s a mystery for later time.))
 
“That’s never a good sign…” Fluttershy replied. “Mr. Gerry, sir…‘r going to need your help tonight.” She looked still and calm on the outside, but Dana and Dash could see her feathers shaking nervously…and hr hands clutched in fists. On any given day sh as in for a scar of hr life, Fluttershy would be the first to take flight instead of fight. On this night, however, after listening to Gerry’s story, sh had to stay…lives were now at stake and the on responsible may very well be inviting them to take their on lives next.
 
“We need someone who can keep an eye on everything behind the scenes and make sure we don’t end up as Mr. Price’s next victims…if it is him.” Fluttershy quietly took a hold of Dash’s hand once she was close enough to reach it, as sh could sense the tension within her. Dash as scared for her life, and so as she, but no sense in not comforting each other in such times as this. “We’d do it ourselves, but…it’s only just the four of us and the rest of the girls couldn’t make it.”
 
“I sure wish there was a way to call them here, though.” she quietly thought to herself. “Twilight, Applejack, Rarity, Pinkie Pie…we could really us your help!”

@TheSadScubaDiver  
Dana: Well, good thing I’m a lesbian.

(Alright, I’m back! Finals have been a bitch, and now I’m studying for SATs… gah. Anyway!
 
@HatOfDisguise  
Dunno, I’d have to ask the others. The plot basically says that the ship has already dropped everyone off and left… though Fluttershy arrived late by swimming all the way there, I guess?
 
@Jinx  
See my reply to Hat above. I’m back now, so expect responses more frequently.)
 
@Four Tet  
Gerry crossed his arms. “Mr. Price… is a very strange man, I’ll say that much.” He looked around at the four other guests. “It would appear that he has been… hospitable? But I believe that he knows that something is up. He may even be directly involved with it.”
 
Dash gulped. “Do… do you think he is a murderer?”
 
Gerry looked at Dash. “I don’t know, Ms. Dash. I genuinely do not know. But… well, I have heard that he is currently on his third wife. His last two… are no longer with us.”

[OOC: Is it too late for a newbie when you return?]

(I’ve been on standby. I’m always here.)

(And my Finals Week is officially done as of yesterday. Don’t know what my grade is, but I’m just thankful that for the moment, it’s over. Hope to hear from you guys soon!)

(Got finals too, so expect the same from me

@TheSadScubaDiver  
(Right on, dude. Good luck on clearing that finals week. Never did asked how your last test went, so how’d it go?)

(Yo, I might not be available for the next few days. Finals week and all. Stay chill, I’ll hopefully be back on Saturday.)

@Four Tet  
(Hm.

@Jinx  
(Between the four of us, it’s active enough to where it can get a few post every day, unless something happens where it can’t. As far as joining, though? Well, that’s on TheSadScubaDiver to decided. We may have room though!)

(How active is this? Im considering joining.

@TheSadScubaDiver  
(D’oh! Alright, went ahead and fixed it. Hopefully it makes more sense.)

@Four Tet  
(He just said that he does not work for Price. :P)

@TheSadScubaDiver  
The moment Gerry mentioned about how a horrible storm stranded him here to the island was the moment he got Fluttershy’s full attention. “That’s…that’s how I got here, too.” she said quietly, her eyes completely focused on the griffon. “I believe you, Mr. Gerry, but there’s still something not right about this.”
 
Coming down from the tree, she made sure to hold her skirt down as she fell onto her feet, her own wings supporting her fall as she landing between the griffon and the two mares. As she stood to her feet, she push a few strands of her mane aside from her face to get a better look at him. She could see the tension and fear in Gerry’s eyes as he was recalling the horrors of the voyage, doubled so by the fear she felt from Dash’s presence. One could see the feathers of her wings puffing out under stress, if they were watching close enough. Yet still, the pegasus’ suspicion was harping on her to follow through with asking for more info.
 
“For one thing, this island has an owner.” she said to the griffon, her hands clasped together and held close to her chest. “And we know Mr. Price owns the island, so wouldn’t that mean that Price knew of the curse? It wouldn’t make any sense to buy some place that’s haunted, unless…”
 
The drift in her words left her in hanging in thought, meaning that her imagination was running along with her suspicions. She can remember the last few times herself, Dash, and the other four mares has been in haunting situations that turned out to be more than meets the eye. Weather it was a trapped spirit, a puppet master pulling the strings, or a very elaborate prank, Fluttershy had come to know this: no curse in Equestria is without its origin. And the curse of this island had to come from somewhere…or someone.
 
“…Mr. Gerry, what can you tell us about Mr. Price?” she asked after a moment of silence between the five of them. “How does he, ummm, tend to treat his guests in person? If you don’t mind me asking, that is.”
