When Time Turns to Dust
Plot: The apocalypse had just begun. What was once a fine winter day in Ponyville turned into a horrific nightmare. Creatures came from the very shadows of the world, bipedal monsters with thin, dark limbs, along with two large white eyes and a dust mask for a face. They came to their victims, enveloped them a cloak that hung across their back, and they would simply disappear without a trace. No matter how many we destroyed, they seemed infinite. Kill one, and two would not be far behind. It seemed that it was the end of everything, as if the very universe would be consumed by these demons.
When the military started to fall, many ponies simply decided to run. Run for their lives. For their families, for the sake of not having to know what happened if the creatures caught you. After the creatures set their sights on the crowds of bystanders, a select few ponies found themselves among the only survivors of the attacks. Wandering for a while, witnessing destruction and doom, they thought all was lost…
Then they found a large, grey cylindrical device, and their hopes were rekindled…
Maybe they could stop this nightmare from spreading any further.
Maybe they could stop it from ever occurring.
Maybe they could change everything.

((THE RP STARTS HERE))
It was a very dark time in Equestria. A day ago, the world was attacked by a race of strange creatures... they were bipedal, had two long, thin arms, and they appeared to only have a pair of goggles and a dust mask for a face. They wore a black cloak across their back, which they used to 'get rid' of ponies, for lack of a better term. In all honesty, nopony knew what happened when they enveloped their cape around you. They would wrap someone within it, and they would just.. disappear. No traces, no screams, nothing.
These came to our world en masse, emerging from what was said to be the very shadows of the world. With the military unable to keep them at bay for long, due to their seemingly infinite numbers, many ponies simply ran. Many have joined together into large mobs, running north, where it was hoped that the creatures would be frozen and maybe Equestria could try to rebuild itself.
One of these mobs had just come from Ponyville. Four special ponies were in this mob, around the back-left area of it, in fact. One of these ponies was Black Widow, a mare with a black coat and red mane. She held an expression of shock, and she wasn't even wailing, like some of the other ponies in the crowd. She just seemed... lost.
((Now you guys can introduce your characters and get a bit of a background going :3 have fun!!!))
