Erm, s'alright, I had just figured it was open, since the OP post didn't say it was taken, and you hadn't claimmed it.

I'm guessing the Gate Keeper is still open, if OP doesn't mind, I'll taken it, for my OC Sugar Rush, unless there's another spot open in Tarasov. I'm still not so sure about making a new character, I'll try 'n make one by the end of the day, if not, the end of the week.

Sorry ate, I've got the gate keeper. That one also hasn't been updated. Pinoak Stringhoof, traveling storyteller and puppeteer.

"I was wondering how I was gonna get there, and free drinks? Thanks, but no thanks. I've seen what drinks can do to ponies." Phil puts the newspaper into his overcoat, and pulls out a another piece of candy. "Let's get this over with."
Phil climbs into the wagon, and sits off in the corner away from everypony else. Now looking at the other ponies, "It seems like we are gonna be stayin with each other for the next week or so, so, let's start with some introductions. I'm Phil, Phil Noir."

It could be pretty cool, and it could be a neat twist with the magic deficient unicorn, however, my Mary?-Sue senses are tingling. The first is the alicorn, and the second is making your OC second in command. Just make sure you avoid Mary.

I'm going to post my performance later today. I'm working on it right now. Hope you don't mind waiting!

Update: Sorry the post is taking to long. I just got slammed tonight, so it should be finished tomorrow. Sorry about the delay.

It's a dark out when Phil Noir steps of of the train. A gust of wind whips his, mane, threatening to knock fedora off. He places a hoof to stop the hat from flying away. He sticks a piece of red licorice in his mouth, gives it a couple of chews, and pulls out a note.

"Let's see here, the note says to meet at the Belaggio, Ballgo, whatever. The question is, where is it?"

He stops a pony that is about to board the train. "'Scuse me miss, do you know where the 'Bellgio' hotel is at?" The mare gives Phil a look over, harumphs, and boards the train. "Thanks for the help lady, hopefully you are as stuck up as the rod shoved up yo-" Before he could finish the sentence, she had boarded the train.

Phil let's out a long sigh and walks over to the nearest newsstand, tosses a few bits on the counter, and grabs a copy of the latest edition of the Equestria Daily.

"Mare murdered, more on page C4." Phil flips through to the right section, "Mare murdered...guards won't reopen the case.... husband distraught..." The stallion trots to a bench and continues to read.

(OOC: Formatted. I found a fun way to distinguish my character's voice.)

Indeed! Zaria and I have big things planned for you all, just you wait! I have a very desturbing mind at times, so don't be surprise if a few unexpected things come from this...

*Ahem* IN the words of my father, "Bring it on hammah!"

Also, awesome art work. It's really good. Out of curiosity, is the original RP forum or tabletop? I think it would be kinda cool to later read them once the story gets going.

Hey, whoever is in Ponyville, (With the exception of Revolver and Oireann) let me know, so we can help get you into the story.

Yes, yes! Pinoak will do quite nicely! I'll add him down as the Gatekeeper, thank you for joining! ^^

Awesome! Can't wait to RP. I have some pretty cool ideas for Pinaok. Things could become interesting.

"First things first: Go to the library. I think the librarian might know what this egg is. Or at least, know a spell to fix this book." Pinaok floats the book into his bag, the egg onto his back, and the bronze dragon marionette, Dralthor, beside him. 

He starts to walking towards the library, and on his way, he notices that the local townsfolk are stopping to stare at him. He starts greeting, nodding, and waving at them as he continues his walk.

"Hello there... How's it going...... Pardon me... Sup.... They're probably staring at Dralthor." Now the dragon is starting to stare at ponies. As the stallion continues to walk by, he notices the stares are starting to feel more hostile. "Umm.... Hel- oh look! My destination!" 

He walks up to the tree's doors and gives a polite knock. He knocks for a third time when he notices a note on the door.

Spike and I are currently doing research in Canterlot.

We won't be back until next week.

So until then, the library is closed.

Sorry for the trouble,

-Twilight Sparkle

"Well isn't that just great." Pinoak sighs, "Looks like I'm going to have to find somepony else to fix this book. Might as well drop the egg off back at my wagon." With a dejected look, Pinoak heads back to the wagon to drop it off.

Well shit! bro, i just posted the thing xD dammit, i have the worst luck D:   I will try to add your post in a second, hold on.

Whoops..... Well, that happened. Before I add ANYTHING else that might ruin that awesome post, I'm going to calm my fingers, wait, then post in response. 

*AT self: Be patient Anxious one

@@Revolver Bobcat,

Hey dude, I got our little side quest started. Although, it might be better to prevent confusion to start a side thread about it, and then rejoin later with the group when we are done with it. Plus, all of the ponies who are joining us in P-ville can join that thread. It could help clear out some of the potential clutter. 

@@Azura, Are you cool if we do something like this?

"Hey Boomy," Pinoak looks towards Boomy, "On the way back to Ponyville, do you mind if we stop by the site where we were first attacked? I wanna see if we can find some sort trail from the creature we could follow, plus I want to get some of that egg and start examining it." After a few moments of thoughtful silence, Pinoak asks,

"What on Equestria could have laid an egg that big?"

"Ummm, Pinoak? Since I am the one who discovered this... thing.... I think it is only fair if I came along to assist you in your.... quest." Kismet gave her most courageous smile and tried to look confident to win the pony's trust.   "That is, if that's okay with you..."

"Okay? That'd be wonderful! Traveling is so boring when you go alone. It's always nice to have a companion." Pinoak looks off to the side with a quizzical look.  "Now that I think about it, it's always been someone else to find the paper and join in the quest." 

As Pinoak is staring off to the side, he takes a note as he looks at the sun. "OH! It's almost time for my first show. We can talk more about the outing later." He starts to run towards the wagon as ponies start to wait by the stage.

Pinoak looks back, "If you aren't needed elsewhere, you could help with the show. It's always nice having an extra hand with handing me puppets. And it'll be fun!"

(OOC: Sorry about the all OC post. I'll do it in the OOC next time.)

@LeJAKoJAK, I already know you’re a competent roleplayer. XD Just make sure you don’t spread yourself too thin. I always found it’s difficult for me to focus on more than one roleplay. I won’t feel bad if you drop out.

Yea, this is my fourth and final RP that I'm signing up for for a while.  ANd I can't wait to pooo-ooost.

Well, we are kinda lonely in ponyville...   But is fine, i will put something like "When they opened pinoak's cart they found that the injured pegasus was gone, probably for a long time now"   Something like that, you go ahead and have fun.

I do believe that there were a few people who were still in Ponyvile. I believe Giddy was one. We can pick him up plus whoever decides to join in there. I'll post in a few. And thanks for setting things up. 

@Azura, about what I said earlier with Twilight. Are you up to/allowing something like that to happen?

This sounds pretty sweet. Mind if I join in with Phil Noir, Private eye? The character link is in the description. Signature

I'm going to be busy for the next few hours and I won't be able to post. So if you want to, you can temp control my character tohave the wagon start going to Ponyville, then maybe we can find another body or clue or something. 

Although season 3 had a lot of good episodes, season 2 just barely beats it namely because of the Nightmare Night episode and the season finale. The season finale is hands down, my favorite episode of the series so far. I just loved the songs and how dark they made the pony world feel.

Wait, ignore that last mention. I thought the wife joke came before that.  And I did, but it's gone now. Weird. In that case, the punch is still up for grabs!

Anyways... hello there... I'm just gonna call you Muffin. I don't feel like enuciating that username right now. Anyways... hi! I assume you know what you are doing, correct? Do you have any RP experiance? 

I do have some yes. I'm a regular tabletop roleplayer for games such as D&D, Pathfinder, Savage Worlds, etc. And right now, I'm currently in two RPs here: The Haunted Woods, and Crossing Paths: A learning RP. I'm a very regular poster, and the reason why I'm in the latter is so that I can practice play by post RPing and also help others if they need it. If you want, here is a roleplaying example from The Haunted Woods.

""ZZzzzzzzzzzzz-Snerk SNORK huuur...... Don't mention it, I always have an emergency tuba stash nearzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz hurk"

Pinoak feels a little bump and it stirs him in his sleep, "Five more minutes mom...." Another bump hits the wagon, this time, a bit stronger. A few pots fall off the wall, making a racket and waking Pinoak up. "What the he- WOAH!" A final bump tips the entire wagon over onto it's side, away from the lake. Pinoak falls to what is now the floor as stuff just piles on top of him. Pinoak manages to dig his way out of the pile. "What the hay hit me?"

Pinoak's horn glows a bright yellow as pony sized platinum dragon pushes it's way out from underneath the pile, accompanied by the bronze dragon and silver dragon. He climbs his way over his belongings, making his way out of the door. He looks around, and sees a  wet creature like the one they exploded earlier, but much, much bigger, standing in the water, looming over wagon.

It's menacing, sickly red eyes stared bored right into Pinoak's.  

"By Celestia's Cake."

SCREEAAAAAAAAAAAAAW!

"Alrighty everypony, WAKE UP AND BEAT THE BEASTIES!!" Pinoak screams as his horn flashes a bright yellow, sending the dragons off in three different directions towards the monster. The silver and bronze dragons are flanking the monster and shooting their normal fireballs, as the platinum dragon flies straight for it's face, and unleashes a ball of molten metal at it. And right when it collides, the scene disappears, leaving Pinoak staring at the ceiling.

"Huh wha, monster!" Pinoak floats the bronze dragon puppet over to him as he rushes outside, seeing absolutely nothing. He looks around frantically and realizes that there is no beast, just a faint shimmer of the shield and a pony looking at him strangely. 

"Heh heh, um... good evening Boomy, mind if I join you on watch?""

And I really don't mind what I'm called so long as it's nice. 

I round house kick you off the hill, and I use a folding lawn chair as my throne.

Mind if I join in with my character Pinoak? I feel he would be a good gate keeper. He could use a combo of his stories and puppets with the key to access new worlds. And this RP sounds really cool and really well thought out, and sounds right up my alley. Also, the character link is in my signature.

@@Azura,

Thinking about joining in again. That is alright, right? Anyway, if I can return, can I have a quick run down on what's happening/been going on? 

Long story short: We walked through the woods, we got attacked by some monster, killed it, and rested at a waterfall. There, Pinoak had a nightmare, Steel became a glowstick and in the morning, we had about five or so new pones join the group, and in the end, decided to split the party. One group heading to Ponyville to heal and re supply, and one to carry on. I'll write a more descriptive description of what happened in my blog about Pinoak's journal. I hope that some what helps.

@Azura, If you don't mind, would you be willing to RP as Twilight Sparkle? I'm planning on asking her if she would

A. Have info on the beast.

B. See if she could remove some of the ink from the beastiary we found.

I think that could reveal more back story. Plus, I would feel weird for adding a ton of back story that you wouldn't like.

I change my name to Gary Stu, you automatically love me, we become besties, and you give me the hill because of my awesomeness.
