A Narrow Escape
March's Monthly Background RP!  Opens: Now! Closes: April 5th @ 11:59 PM EST! Reminder: If you won a Familiar this month you will not be eligible to win this pet.
In the wake of the Northern wind and its chilling howls, the Kawani Lands were gripped by a terrible frost and a blizzard that left the land blanketed in snow and ice. Although new life has begun to emerge within the Kawani Lands, the danger is not over. A gathering of trapped seathi stirred a new terror from within the deeps - a great kraken, the likes of which have rarely been seen beneath the teaming waters of the native lands. The promise of an easy meal was almost borne out, but the creature was too slow to stir, and awakened too late. Now it hunts for prey, awaiting the unwary. Though relatives to the creature, the aquatic octopodes are not out of danger. One particular octopus was almost caught in that great beak, and only providence saved it from becoming the kraken's next meal.

Prompt: Everyone is fortunate, from time to time, but sometimes it seems that lady luck herself smiles upon you. What has happened lately that has made you feel lucky? Or made you feel cursed, perhaps?
There is a great danger in the ocean, one that has not been seen in years beyond counting. While it does not have the ability to reach beyond the seas, its threat looms large to the denizens of the deep, whose lives may be in peril. It is unlikely that anyone near the shore will be attacked by the kraken, who is a deep sea creature, so knowledge of its existence has not yet spread far and wide. Hints of great arms have been sighted, and parts of the ocean are especially dark. That any have escaped that monster is surely due to fortune itself. Have you ever faced a danger and survived it? Encountered a situation wherein you were simply... lucky?
**Please note: If your prompt response meets the word count requirement for stats you can also link your post in the monthly stat thread and count it as RP for your pony.**
Prizes
A would-have-been dinner... aka, an octopus. And maybe... more?
To enter: please post a current pre-existing RP (since January 2017) that is themed around luck, narrow escapes, etc. You made use bad luck or some permutation if luck doesn't make sense for you.

Luck be a lady tonight!Username: DarkenWoodWolf
Who are you entering with? Serafima SlapJack
Link to the RP you're using:
Prompt response: Sera had an odd idea of what constituted luck.Of course, she had an odd idea about almost everything, so that shouldn't be a surprise to anyone. Today, though, she was pondering her own streak of luck, or lack there of, honestly. Sometimes she couldn't tell if she was lucky for finding the various pigments and plants that she could use to make paints well, or if she was unlucky. Sera was going to settle on lucky, though, to have found such a bright red pigment that she scrapped into a pouch with the end of her paintbrush. Hopefully, it would be enough to make more that one batch. There were other veins of the pigment a bit higher up, and normally that wouldn't be a problem, given she had the inclinations of kittens and their inclines. Of course, she was not normally stuck thigh deep in a bog of some sort.
Sera hadn't thought much about the too even, too still state of the ground in the area around where she had found a solid slate wall, shot through with a pigment of the brightest red. She had looked beyond the puddles and the fact there was less shrubbery and trees as she got closer to the rock wall. The desire for the pigment sorta overshadowed her normally keen perception.
As she worked, Sera shifted, keeping her paws as wide as possible, but still managing to sink another few inches, making her have to strain to reach the red pigment. It wasn't a hard ship, though. The soil shifting under her paws, solid and liquid at the same time. There was a brush of something harder, probably a root of some sort, but the fleeting feeling faded from further fascination as Sera slipped lower again.
It was a jolt, being suddenly neck deep in the muddy water. She began to wonder if she should be worried about slipping under? Sera was not a fan of water, lips curling back in distaste, but she did know how to swim. It wouldn't be that big of a concern if she did. Swimming to shore would be a simple, if dirty, very dirty, affair. The thought of trying to get the mud out of her hair was enough to send her turning back toward wherever the 'shore' was, sharp eyes falling on something that distracted her as surely as someone with something shiny.
Almost at the level of the water, barely staying above the encroaching mud that would destroy it, were two narrow veins of pigment of a bright orange, coming close to another vein of yellow. The pigment shown where it caught the sun, sparkled and set a dazzling gleam over the water.
Now, Sera had worked with the other not-colors before, but not for a long time. Everything was red red red red, so why should she paint it any other color? But this. She shifted closer, eyes fixed on the colors like they had some answer to the mysteries of life. This was beauty unrivaled.
And honestly, what could it hurt to have a few more of the non-colors around, just in case?

Who are you entering with? Rhiannon
Link to the RP you're using: N/A
Prompt response: Rhiannon, ever proud and ever vain Rhiannon, believes she has no use for luck. Even on the worst of days. But today, today, she had luck on her side. A skinwalker had decided the prancing, dainty, silly looking Kalona was theirs to play with. Of course Rhiannon had no idea as she was being targeted. Things just kept going wrong. A missed meal, a dunking in a river, a deer starting in front of her. Little things that really weren’t that big, but added together were causing quite the fluster. Out of sorts and on edge,
Rhiannon was not paying enough attention to her surroundings when the skinwalker decided it was time. Only, things didn’t go the way the skinwalker had planned either. See this was the day that the alligator had decided to follow Rhiannon around. Dulcibella was ready for the skinwalker and practically tore a leg off as Rhiannon went on her merry way. Dulcibella could have taken Rhiannon’s earlier rebuffs and not been there. But Dulcibella was a stubborn creature too. And she understands pride, and never once let on to the silly Kalona that she was nearly a meal.
So the story goes, Rhiannon never knew she was lucky that day. But she did learn to, in her words, tolerate the alligator. Truthfully she likes the little thing but never let her hear I told you so.

Who are you entering with? Ren'ai Keri
Link to the RP you're using: ---
Prompt response: Ren'ai Keri prances about in place as she thinks about her luck. First off even if she doesn't know her real parents she was adopted by a loving stallion. Who is a full sized soquili while she is a mini one. But that didn't matter at all. It was that she was in need of a home and he had one to give. Then she gained an adoptive mother. Growing up in such a loving family was so lucky and she thought that she used all of her luck for her lifetime. But she couldn't be more wrong. As a foal she grew surrounded by love without any discrimination of size or breed. So it was the prefect family for her.
Her adoptive father Sasha told her stories all the time so Ren'ai Keri fell in love with stories and fairy tales. But thinking her luck was used up and that the one type of person she wishes to spend her life with would be a story teller. Although she is an adult now she wishes her luck as a child would return to her. And one day by luck she met her mate who just happens to be a story teller. So all of her life Ren'ai Keri has been blessed by lady luck. All that she is hoping for now is that she will be blessed with offspring of her own. Though she isn't going to rush into that. It can take time as she isn't in that hurry because raising offspring means she will have to share the love of her life.
That isn't something she is looking forward to do just yet. Well not until she has heard most of his stories first hand and before anyone else has the chance to then she will think about sharing him. Right now she is enjoying the things in her life that luck has brightened her world with. There is nothing more then this that she feels she can gain. Luck brought her adoptive parents that love her. A life mate that is everything she could ever ask for. Asking anymore then this would be asking for way too much.
Therefore she won't be asking much more then what she has. Luck has given her so much. "I am so thankful to luck for all that I have gained." Looking back on her life there is nothing that luck hasn't had a hand in. Everything has a hint of luck in it. Not saying that she didn't earn any of it or that she didn't work hard for it. because she did that as well. Just that when luck was needed that it was there for her is all there is to it.

Luck be a lady tonight!Username: Calixita
Who are you entering with? Amaterasu
Link to the RP you're using: ---
Prompt response: Amaterasu knew nothing of facing the monsters of the deep -- she had heard the legends, but no one in her herd of proud warriors could venture into the ocean to fight the evil beasts. She was very familiar with monsters that lurked on land, though. It was what she dedicated her life to -- swearing to defend the innocent and ridding the world of skinwalkers. With age came experience, and Amaterasu learned to be very good at what she did, but that didn't mean she went without close calls. When she first met the owl purewalker known as Hræsvelgr, she had been following the rumors of a creature only known as the Corpse Swallower that haunted the local forest. She expected she would bless the forest, praying to the Celestial Gods her herd believed in to cleanse the evil there so the nearby herds could live in peace, but the evil there had been much more sinister than she had expected.
Hræsvelgr was fiercely territorial of her forest, and when she discovered a unicorn was trespassing on her land her vision all but turned red with her fury. When she swooped in for her attack in her feral form, she dug her razor claws into Amaterasu's shoulders before growing into her true form, bearing her weight down on the mare. The fight had been vicious and bloody; flat hooves against sharp claws; blunt teeth against a razor beak; Amaterasu had been caught off guard, unprepared and without backup to help her fight. But where Hræsvelgr was swift, Amaterasu was strong. Claws sliced at the muscles of her legs, her flank, her back, blood staining her shining white coat, but while Amaterasu's strikes against Hræsvelgr were not as visible, they were no less damaging. The harsh bruises ran deep under feathers and flesh, Hræsvelgr's movements becoming sluggish with pain -- a dislocated wing, a swollen eye, fighting half-blind.
The battle came to a head when Hræsvelgr's claws struck Amaterasu's throat, and the unicorn's hooves cracked into the purewalker's skull into the trunk of a tree. Hræsvelgr staggered, dazed as Amaterasu gasped on trembling legs as the pair stared each other down. Equally matched. Hræsvelgr's sense of self-preservation won over her blood-lust -- she knew that while continuing to fight would end the other mare's life, it would end her own as well -- and she turned and fled deeper into the forest. If she was lucky, the unicorn would bleed out, her rotting corpse serving as another message scattered about her territory -- keep out.
But Hræsvelgr's retreating figure did little to bring Amaterasu's hope of surviving. It gave her a sense of relief -- it was over -- but one shaky step later and she had collapsed to the ground. Her thoughts were scattered; her daughters; her failed relationships; her lost children; her battles; her familiar; her herd. Her body felt heavy; so did her eyes.
Some would call it luck; to Amaterasu and her beliefs, it was the blessings of the Celestial Gods that brought her daughter Ukiyo-e to search for her after being away for so long. Regardless, it had been lucky that Hræsvelgr had decided to flee; fortuitous that her claws had not cut into an artery; and truly a miracle that Ukiyo-e found her when she did. She was lucky to still be alive.
EDIT: I am no longer eligible to win the familiar!

Who are you entering with? Vanmoriel
Link to the RP you're using: N/a
Prompt response: What is luck some ask as they ponder the word indefinitely. For some it brings out amazing qualities shining brighter in their daily lives. Others see it as a farce or simply gamble that simply turns out in their favor. For one particular seathi-nixie mix luck became a godsend in a tight spot that which she'd never forget in her traveling memories. That particular soul was named Vanmoriel whom was named simply for the color she bore.
A long time ago Vanmoriel swam within the ocean as free as a bird or fish being in the sea. Carefree with no regards to caution this little female loved visiting dangerous places no matter what the travesty could bring. One particular moment in her life she swam deep within a reef far from the water's surface where her precious breath would help her live another day. Thinking to herself, "This shall be easy with a possible reward for the trouble".
Swimming inward deeper a shiver ran downward along her fins yet she heeded not the warning placed before her. The deeper she swam inward the more beautiful the coral and smaller fish became. Entranced within the splendor of her surroundings the deeper she traveled the more she didn't heed those feelings. As she landed deep in the darkness touching upon the sand a shining glow emanated raising her curiosity. Nearing closer her shivers increased till it was too late as she bolted back the way she came. Something humongous loomed behind her menacingly that soft glow as its huge jaws snapped quickly at her heels. Panicking she darted several directions trying to shake the looming death behind her. Closing her eyes she feared for the worst swimming blindly seeking the way back. Shooting upward she felt something sharp upon her right rear leg causing her to scream in terror. Swimming harder than she ever had in her entire life till that moment she bolted upwards till her form literally leapt out of the ocean like a missile. As she cascaded back into the depth her eyes finally opened realizing she was alive. Looking downward at her leg she noted a nasty bite leaving her reminder of a near quick extinction if she didn't flee as she should.
So yes this particular aquatic dweller believes in "lady Luck" as some call her because a streak of luck stopped that creature from devouring a careless foolish seathi-nixie mix. Never did she travel toward that reef again leaving luck on her side along with a new outlook toward being more careful. Her now faded scar is a lesson not to tempt fate so much living her life or bother larger than life Anglerfish when they have an appetite for foolish innocence.

Who are you entering with? Koia
Link to the RP you're using: N/a - Prompt
Prompt response: Things were going well for Koia. She has a mate and has a home to sleep in. Though recently her mate had gone to check on some friends and hasn't come back yet. Which has sent her mind whirling with worry. She used to not be so afraid of what lurks in the ocean but now things aren't as they once were.
Sunlight filters down and sparkles in the water as Koia makes her way towards the edge of the reefs that ships tend to crash into. Hoping to find treasure to bring home and show to Jubal Chai. She presses on. Swimming towards the first shipwreck Nowhere to be seen is a dangerous predator that would go after her. Such things are always good to look around for. After all she doesn't want to become food.
Tentatively she approaches the gaping hole in the side of the ship. The water is colder and the feel of the place is eerie. Slipping inside she pauses to let her eyes readjust before gathering which way to go. Turning to the left towards the hull of the ship she see's only a black mass. Eyes wide she starts to swim back. Large glowing eyes look at her and she spins around. Swimming as fast as she can out of there. She can feel the water shift as whatever it is starts to come after her. Oh no! This isn't good!
Koia races as fast as she can towards the inner reefs where there are coral that could protect her. That she can dart into little gaps to get away. She can sense the being getting closer and she goes as fast as she can. Swimming her heart out. Like a ray of light she spots a gap just big enough for her. She dives in and moves around the skinny openings trying to get away. She hears a yell and chances a glance back.A tentacle of some sort tries to find her through the hole but she keeps moving. Somehow getting further away. When the sounds of anger stops and the sea becomes calm once more. She timidly slips out of the coral reefs and looks around. Then scurries towards home. Glancing around as if she is going to be attacked again. As luck would have it. Nothing follows her and she makes it to her den that she shares with Jubal safely. Drifting to the bed of seaweed and kelp she lays down. Exhausted and tired. Feeling lucky to be alive. She wonders when Jubal Chai will be home and how to tell him this story. Would he believe her? She sure hopes so..She hopes she never encounters that creature again. Luck may have been on her side this time.. but it might not next time.

Who are you entering with? Psyche
Link to the RP you're using: --
Prompt response:
It had been an arduous journey. After making the decision to flee the Blood Moon Carnival Psyche has encountered seemingly a few setbacks on her quest. She felt like something was always guiding her hoofsteps though and keeping her relatively safe. But sometimes that isn't a good thing. Now on the trail of another lead Psyche has found herself seemingly lost in the mountains. She's seeking out rumors of a herd that lives in the area that have peculiar habits. Taking a chance she follows the reports she's received and finds herself confronting the patriarch of a herd, Vincento Sinclair. It doesn't seem as if she's going to get out of the situation without injury until Vincento lets slip the name Psyche's been wanting to hear, that of her brother. Seemingly after inquiring about Relic's well-being Vincento decides to grant her passage into the herd. She'll soon come face to face with her brother... eventually... and her heart and mind are in turmoil, but a good kind.
What can come forth of this meeting? She has been given strict orders to abide by and Psyche can only fervently begin to hope that Relic will help smooth the way over. He'd have to right? He is after all, her only family left.

Who are you entering with? Ymir
Link to the RP you're using: N/A
Prompt response: There were many a time Ymir had felt particularly blessed by Lady Luck herself. He was always the one who wanted to do something bigger or better than anyone else, especially when it came to feats of bravery. If Ymir were the one to boast (which he was) he would tell anyone who gave him even a second glance all of the many brave things he had done. Many would consider him foolish (which he also was) but that never stopped the stallion from having a gate filled with purpose and liveliness whenever he walked.
Ymir had faced near-death many a time, but he loved the rush that pulling some stunt or another gave him. He loved diving to the earth, plummeting at great speeds and then, barley in the nick of time, letting his wings unfold and soar back into the air. Ymir loved performing tricks in the air, doing barrel rolls and loop-the-loops, whatever an onlooker asked of him, he would do it. Yes, he did his stunts publicly, where all could see him, for he was show off and while he attempted to prove himself humble, it was quite easy to see past his gleeful, broad smiling face that his ego was anything but humble.
Today was like all the others when he found a spot to perform. He set up camp, offering any who came across his little resting spot stay for the night and break bread with him. Ymir chatted them up and made friends with whoever decided to take him up on the offer as best he could; some were more guarded than others of course. As the population of his little camp grew to reasonable size, Ymir would then tell all the stories of his tricks and feats. He loved to get the crowd murmuring and starry-eyed; there was nothing better, in his opinion, than a crowd vying for a performance.
So far his camp had a few other soq milling about. It was less than he usually liked, but not many liked to travel near the mountains during the colder months, not unless they were originally from them or happened to know of others nearby them. He grinned as he pranced along, showboating like always. He grinned as someone approached him and asked when Ymir would be performing the tricks he had talked up. The stallion simply told them they would see it soon enough and that he was glad he had them so interested.
Evening came eventually and Ymir was up in the air, looking down at the small audience that had gathered to watch him. He tossed his mane and grinned down at them, though he was fairly certain that they couldn't see his smile against the back drop of the setting sun. All that mattered was that they could see him perform his stunt. It was one of his usual tricks, nothing fancy or too daring, he saved his grander schemes for bigger crowds and audiences. His wings flapped to keep his form in the air and he gave a thoughtful pause as his eyes mapped out the path he would need to take to avoid collision with anything. Then he dropped. He laughed as the air rushed past him and pulled his hair back from his face. He laughed at the adrenaline that pumped through his veins and made his heart race. This was truly what it meant to be alive and there was nothing else in the world that made him feel the same.
Ymir looked from the corner of his eyes as the treeline hid his audience from him and all that remained of them was their gasps and shouts. Some would surely think him dead, thinking that head had fallen to the ground, but he would prove them wrong with a smile, a laugh, and a twinkle in his eyes. His wings quickly unfolded as he entered the clearing he had scouted out before even trying to do his stunt. At least he was smart enough to know better... or perhaps it had been because of Mímir, his faithful and ever wise companion, that he had gone to such lengths. He shrugged at the thought and unfolded his wings from his side, and flapped them with a great ferocity. Sweat sprung up on his brow and dripped down his neck as he fought against gravity to pull back up into the air. Today would not be the day his tricks got the better of him.
Then there were cheers. Ymir's form rose from the tree line and he looked to the group of soquili that had watched him. He flashed a toothy grin at them, a laugh bursting from him. The rush was still there, but there was nothing quite like the cheers and looks of shock and awe on the faces of those who watched him. It added another thing to the list of reasons he loved his stunts, the cheering. It would never grow old and he was sure Lady Luck would keep it that way.
