    Hey everyone, just wanted to let you all know that I will be going on a hiatus from RP posts for a while. I’m not sure when I’ll be back to making replies again. You are all free to continue on your own and create adventures for yourselves in the meantime. As always, if you’re stuck and need ideas, feel free to post here and I will do my best to help you.

    “Woah, that’s quite the amazing story you’ve got there.” Ayla smiled. “Saving that pony was a very courageous thing for you to do, Fukami. Before I decided to become a singer, I also did a lot of wandering. Went from village to village, sharing stories with others and singing songs. Sometimes ponies would suggest I make a career out of it, but I was hesitant due to my race and how I look. But because ponies insisted on it so much, I started looking into it and well, here I am. I’ve finally reached the point in my life where things are stable and I’m content with the way things are. It sounds to me like you are as well, and I think that’s amazing.”

    ----------------------------------------------

     Once the play finishes, the two kirin stand up with the rest of the audience and applaud.

    “Woohoo!!” Charlotte cheers. “That was awesome! I loved it!” She exclaimed, turning to Samurai.

    “Yes, the play was very special.” Silver agreed. “Everypony involved was very talented and it was also cool to get some more insight into the history of Japone. Thank you, my friend.” He said to Samurai.

    Ayla nods and thanks the waiter for the food. She looks down at her plate with wide eyes and responds to Fukami in between bites.

    “At what point in your life did you make the decision to become a samurai?” She asked. “Or did you get to make that decision, as in, it was forced upon you? My parents tried to force me into their trade to ‘follow in their hoofsteps.’. I wasn’t interested, so that’s when I started my wanderings.”

    ----------------------------------------

    The two kirin watch in interest as the plot of the play unfolds. There is a lot happening all at once. Charlotte looks over at Samurai as he whispers about the hero excitedly and can’t help but get excited as well.

    “So how much of this is real and how much is a myth?” Silver asks Samurai in a whisper.  

  4. Ayla was quiet for a moment before responding. “I think the most important thing I’ve learned is to stop caring about what random ponies think about me, especially when it’s about things I can’t control. I can’t change that I’m a kirin, I can’t change my coat or mane colour, and I can’t change that I have spots. These are things that are a part of who I am, and I’ve learned to celebrate those things instead of being ashamed or embarrassed.”

    -----------------------

    Silver and Charlotte look over the pamphlets while they watch the play and listen to Samurai explain what’s going on. They’re both amazed by how much effort is being put into the production. The acting is good, the costumes look to be of high quality, the music sounds great, and the backgrounds are painted by talented artists.

    Nebel looked over a table of wares while Nightfall looked around the town with a disinterested expression. After a few moments, she spotted the group making their way out of Nova.

    “Hey!” She whispered to her brother. “They’re making their move, time to go or we’ll lose them.”

    He gave a quick nod before leaving the stand with his sister and heading off to follow the group.

    “Uhhh, they’re going back the way we came.” Nebel said after quickly consulting his pip-colt. “You sure this is a good idea?”

    “Yes, I think this is a lead worth pursuing. We follow them from a distance for a while and see where they’re headed. If it seems like they’re heading to New Pegas then we’ll stop and come back here.”

    Nebel nodded slowly, not really thrilled about having to backtrack, but understanding the point his sister was trying to make.

    Charlotte smiled at White Light's comment. She had never really considered herself as 'someone of high stature', but she would take the compliment anyway. She was also happy to see how excited Shiny was about having her friend join in on the party.

    "I'm glad to hear it! So, since you said you wanna join, here's what you need to do. There's a sign-up sheet on the table here on stage, write down something that you'd like to share with the rest of your friends. It should be something like a hobby or special interest you have, something that you're proud of that you can show off to everyone." She explained.

  7. @Samurai Equine

    Ayla listens intently as Fukami talks. “So ponies were scared of you too, huh? I guess that’s something else we have in common.” She gave a weak smile. “I can’t say I ever cared much about what other ponies thought about me, but once they start threatening violence, that changes things a bit. I hope you never had to deal with that.” She says thoughtfully.

    -------------------------------------

    “Oh, ok.” Silver is slightly surprised but is otherwise unaffected by the information. “I look forward to it either way.” He says as he takes a seat in between Samurai and Charlotte.

  8. @Shiny Silvermoon@Evil Pink One

    Charlotte nods in agreement. "Yes, I feel the same way. But, any of them can still come by and sign up. The more students that participate, the better. I don't want anyone to feel alone or left out, but at the same time, I won't force anyone to partake if they don't want to. It's totally up to them."

    Just as she finished speaking, one of Shiny's friends came forward.

    "Hey there, White Light, and welcome! I don't recall seeing you here before, you must be new! My name is Charlotte and I'm the president of the student council here at Canterlot High. Good to meet you!" She extended a hand. "Right now I'm trying to organize a back-to-school party! Would you like to join?" She asked with a smile.

    "Wait! You actually think that me showing the other students the advanced technic to throw croissants like boomerangs could be a good activity suggestion? I began to have doubts myself!" Shiny Silvermoon said to Charlotte, a little surprised.

    "Mhm!" Charlotte nodded and smiled. "I do. But only if you want to, that's the important part. You should pick whatever makes you happy, and whatever you're proud to show your friends. That's what the point of the event is, for you all to get to know each other better."

    Then maybe we can... But we need to specify it's not pony sunset but human sunset. Hmmmmm. Then perhaps we can do that to trixie as well... We have to specify that we are talking about another Trixie from another dimension. Not the hasbro trixie.... Hmmm:griiin:

    You have no problem on this right @GeneralDirection?

    @shadowmoon Dancer

    This RP is about your OCs and their interactions with the other RPers. I would prefer that canon characters would not be used in this RP. That being said, if this is what you all want, then I will allow it so you can resolve these subplots you've created. Moving forward, I would ask that you all keep things between your characters, and if you wish to create new subplots, then please use this thread to plan/discuss. :)

    "What you just showed us, I can say that I've truly never seen anything like that before in my life. That was an impressive performance for sure, thank you for sharing that with us today, Shiny." Charlotte smiled warmly. "Oh! There's something else you wanted to suggest? Go ahead, say whatever's on your mind, I'm listening."

    Nightfall awoke to loud rustling sounds coming from the room they had heard the talking from yesterday. Her eyes went wide as she remembered their plans for the day.

    “Nebel! Wake up!” She whispered, poking him a few times. “They’re getting ready to leave.”

    “Ugh… it’s too early to be awake.” He muttered, blinking as he slowly arose from his bed.

    “I really wish we could’ve gotten you some amour… that vault suit makes you stick out like a sore hoof.” Nightfall commented as she put her own armour on. “But oh well, is what it is. We’ll just have to keep our distance. I did bring binoculars, so that’ll help us.”

    Nebel nodded silently in response, gathering his things before they left their room. Once in the lobby, the two took off as if to explore the town, keeping the motel in view so they could keep an eye on where the group was headed.

  13. @Samurai Equine

    “Oh.” Ayla looks back at her menu with a look of frustration and embarrassment.

    There indeed are pictures and descriptions in the menu. After a few moments of perusing, she makes her decision and puts the menu down.

    “I think I’m gonna go with the, um, oko-nomi-yaki… or however you said it. The one you suggested.” She holds the menu up and points to the relevant picture. “Which one are you gonna get?”

    --------------------------------

    “Oh wow! That does sound interesting.” Charlotte remarked as they stood in line with their samurai friend.

    “That does sound like something you’d be interested in, my friend.” Silver comments. “I’m also quite intrigued, especially since you mentioned it was a historical play. Perhaps I’ll learn something from it.” He smiled.  

  14. @Samurai Equine

    Ayla followed Fukami as he leads them to a restaurant. She sat down at the table and picked up a menu with her magic.

    “Ummm, ok, I’m sorry, Fukami, but I have no idea what any of those things are.” She says with a nervous laugh. “You’ll have to do a bit more explaining, please.” She requests, smiling.

    ----------------------------------------

    The two kirin step off the train, and Charlotte looks around with wide eyes as she takes in all the new sights and sounds. Silver stands beside her and smiles, happy to be able to witness his little sister experiencing Japone.

    “Oooo, sure!” Charlotte says in response to Samurai’s suggestion. “A play sounds fun! Let’s go do that!”

  15. @Illiad Easle

    Nebel thanked the receptionist before the two unicorns retired to their room. Nebel heard some voices in the next room over, but he was only able to make out a few of their words.

    “These guys are bad news.” Nebel said to his sister quietly. “We’d do best to keep our distance.”

    Nightfall nodded her head quietly in reply.

    “They might know something about the pony we’re after, though. I say we attempt to follow them, but again, from a distance. If they go off in another direction, then we know they’re not looking for Red.”

    “What if they already got her?” Nightfall asked. “If they finished the job, then what reason do they have to go back? I think we should just follow them regardless of what direction they go.”     

    “…I guess that’s fair.” Her brother replied after a moment. “Perhaps we should have a look around town in the morning. We still have some bits from earlier, we might come across a vendor selling something that could help us.”

    “That’s… actually a good idea. Yea, let’s go with that.” Nightfall said with a bit of surprise in her voice.

    “Wow, actually? Come on, I’m not that oblivious…”

    “Sometimes I wonder.” She said with a grin.
