@@)NightmareLulamoon(, Autumn Dusk went into the guest room and leisurely picked up his bag, before making a stop at the mirror on his way back out. He looked at his reflection and rolled his eyes, he looked pretty bad after all, he tried to fix his mane a bit before rushing back into the living room, where Blossom was already waiting for him.

@@)NightmareLulamoon(, "Sure," he replied. "Yeah, I haven't really gotten acquainted with the shops and all yet though. Not sure where everything is, and I haven't actually gotten food yet either, other than at the cafe. I've mostly just been kinda living off what I brought with me."

@@)NightmareLulamoon(, Autumn jumped up and wound up on the floor beside the bed. "Ow." He stood slowly, trying to remember where he was. After a moment, he saw Blossom, and then everything came back to him. "Oh! Uh... Good morning." ((Late reply on my part again, exams have kept me busy, sorry about that.))

@@)NightmareLulamoon(, As he took in his surroundings, Dusk smiled again. "Oh, I'll take the downstairs room," he said, adding as an afterthought, "I've never really liked stairs." He made his way to the guest room and looked around before setting his stuff in the corner. After a few minutes he hesitantly began to unpack the few things he had thought to bring when he first set out from Baltimare. A small pouch of bits, an old hat he wore from time to time, a pencil and his notebook, falling almost to pieces with age, and a simple pillow that had been his since he was a young colt. After he had taken everything out of his bag, he sat down for a moment on the side of the bed, half lost in thought.

@@)NightmareLulamoon(, "Uh, no," he looked over his shoulder at his small pack. "Everything I have is right here, actually." He struggled to keep up with the mare's enthusiasm, but tried to force a smile anyway. He hurried behind her on the way out of the cafe that had been his only respite so far in this city. He thought to himself that maybe this was going to turn out better than Baltimare after all. He no longer had to force his smile.

@@)NightmareLulamoon(, "Oh, uh... Sure," he said rather meekly. "Thanks again." He stood and stretched slightly while she went to pay, looking around one last time. He thought to himself Already better than Baltimare, and he let a small smile escape him. ((200 Characters 200 Characters 200 Characters 200 Characters 200 Characters))

@@)NightmareLulamoon(, ((Sorry for the late reply, got caught up with a few things)) "I dunno, I mostly draw other ponies, or sometimes landscapes and stuff," he rubbed his neck, "Not too good though, it was all self-taught really. Never got any outside advice for my drawings before." He looked down again. "But I mean, I bet you could draw really well... You seem like the kind of pony who'd be good at it."

@@)NightmareLulamoon(, "Yeah, working makes everything harder," he said with a smile. "I just wish I could get back to drawing instead of scrounging around for a job. Seems like nopony is hiring right now though." He stretched a bit before continuing. "I guess I'll just have to look for work again tomorrow."

@@)NightmareLulamoon(, "I mostly like to read, not too much as far as exciting." He thought for a moment. "I used to draw, but I wasn't very good at it. I don't know really, I've never really explained this stuff before." Somewhat as an afterthought, he added, "What about you? What do you like to do?"

@@)NightmareLulamoon(, "Well..." He glanced up. "Nothing is wrong with Baltimare, if you like that stuff. I guess I just didn't want to spend the rest of my life in a fast-paced city where you only see the same pony once." Looking around the cafe he added, "And sitting at this table, I've already made more conversation here than I ever had in Baltimare."

@@)NightmareLulamoon(, "Baltimare, actually." He looked around for a moment. "I hated living there, so one morning I just made up my mind and left." He looked down again. ((Needs more words Needs more words Needs more words Needs more words Needs more words Needs more words Needs more words))

The coloring was actually the longest part, and there are still things I'd like to correct. I think I'll end up drawing a RD again this afternoon now. xD

((I'm mostly typing this for everypony else since I doubt you need to be informed on something you have xP)) TBR Asperger's Syndrome is one of the less brutal forms of autism. Many engineers (myself included) have Asperger's Syndrome, and it tends to be more of a skill shift than anything else. For instance, instead of being good with sports, I draw and write. Instead of loving to drive, I love to play the trumpet. Instead of gaming all day, I go onto forums and read. The main problem with it is sociability. Most with Asperger's Syndrome are highly anti-social and tend to be quiet in the workplace (or school, of course). Definitely not a "popular kid". A big thing that is interesting to me is the fact that I can figure things out that are not complicated, but when I tell people how I did it they will go nuts "I never thought of doing it that way!" sorta thing. AS tends to make you think differently. Even when I try to describe something to somepony else, it's so much harder to do because of this. However my dad has AS as well (It's usually hereditary) and I can talk to him better than anyone I know. I don't remember if it's Colorado or someplace else, but there is a state that is called the Engineering capitol of the country. It is also the state with the largest number of people with AS. Considering people w/ AS can talk to eachother more easily than anyone else they tend to sorta group up, if you catch my meaning. So yeah, there's my rant on Asperger's Syndrome. #tldr

Okay so I've made a few pony sketches. Just figured I'd dump them here. Back when I first got into the show I made this one, which was really the first drawing I made and took seriously. That was two years ago now, thinking back on it. Anyhow, I also have this, which is what I started this morning. I'm not all that great at cutie marks so I usually do that last, which is why the Fluttershy sketch doesn't have one yet x(

@@)NightmareLulamoon(, Dusk cleared his throat before responding rather meekly, "Sure." He got up and clumsily took his sandwich to the other table before sitting down again. He quickly finished the sandwich before attempting to speak again. "Uh, thanks, by the way." A ghost of a smile crossed his face.

@@)NightmareLulamoon(, He looked up quickly. "Oh, I'm not sure if that would be okay. I mean, I couldn't just impose like that." He looked down for a moment before speaking further. "But, uh... I mean, if it's not too much trouble for you, I guess..." He looked down again. "I promise not to be too bothersome."

@@)NightmareLulamoon(, "I'm just having a daisy sandwich." He paused for a moment. "Oh, I'm Autumn Dusk, and I'm kinda stuck in Ponyville. I mean," he paused again, wondering if he should bother Blossom with this, "Well, uh...I don't really have any other options. But it turns out there's nowhere to stay here that I can think of. So I guess I'll just try to see about getting a job and saving up until I can afford to rent someplace." He looked down a bit, sighing.

@@)NightmareLulamoon(, Autumn Dusk was surprised at being addressed, and he half-jumped out of his seat before turning around. "Uhm..." He cleared his throat nervously. "I dunno... I mean, this... is actually my first day in Ponyville." He let his gaze fall before beginning to turn back to his lunch.

Autumn Dusk wandered through the city for a few minutes more before finding a café. He figured eating at such a location might easily burn through his money, so he hesitated. After looking around for a moment, however, he decided there wasn't much else for options, and reluctantly sat down at an empty table in a vain attempt to enjoy himself. The waiter arrived swiftly. He was dressed in very formal attire, and spoke with an accent Dusk had never heard before. "What would you like today?" AD looked at the menu for a short moment before picking the least expensive thing he could find; a run-of-the-mill daisy sandwich. He sat and looked around at the ponies at other tables, laughing and having fun, talking about things they wouldn't remember the next day. He muttered something under his breath, and looked down at the empty seat across from him.

Autumn Dusk looked around as the marketplace activity died down. It was getting to be about time for lunch, and everypony was either looking for food or already had it. He left the small bench behind and made his way to the nearest food-looking shop, without really knowing where he was going. He had some food, of course, but he figured he should make use of a fresh lunch rather than the stale bread and aging apples he had brought with him. He sighed as he stepped inside, smelling the aroma of the shop. The sign overhead read "Sugarcube Corner". He approached the counter and looked around before deciding to buy a cupcake to snack on while he looked for some actual lunch. He went back outside and began wandering around the city once more. ((I have to go for most of the day -- it's my birthday -- so I probably won't post anything else today. Also this was the post that got me the cupcake title thing so I felt like randomly putting that in xD))

Dusk entered the city for the first time. He breathed a sigh as he thought about the possibilities that come with moving somewhere new. Then he thought about how he'd spent the past four years looking over his shoulder everywhere he went. Not anymore, he thought as he trotted to the small cottage he had purchased only two days before. As he set his bags down he decided to get right to work and set up his workspace, spending most of the day unpacking.

@@GameytheGeemer, I actually laughed. I mean, I know that's the gist of it anyway but that phrasing kinda just made my day. Also thanks! I'll get started ASAP ;p

Autumn Dusk is my OC. Not quite sure yet how this will work out in the long run, but I may as well see how it goes, ya know? The link for AD's stuff is in my siggy. He is highly anti-social and prone to spells of violence. Day Time Ocupation - Err... None, currently. He writes a lot during the day and since he just moved to the city he's still looking around for a job, though something along the lines of the news career path is what he is looking into right now (assuming that's okay for the RP). Whether or not in The Cult of The Moon - He has just moved to Hoofdale from Baltimare, and he's never heard of the Cult. Hobby - Reading and writing, generally being anti-social. Residence - A small cottage in the South side of town. Again, not sure if this will work out for a character in this RP, but I'm open to trying it out.
