GeneralDirection

This is just where all the old farts of the forum have come to convene and reminisce, isn't it? I remember your name but not a whole lot else. :3 I was surprised to see you pop up as a view on my profile, I guess this sorta explains why~. I see I'm a bit late to the party but welcome back nevertheless. Hope your time back has been going well so far. ^^

The reports of my death have been greatly exaggerated. No, I'm still here, just very busy and stressed out. ExplosionMare probably put it best here. I'm sorry I haven't been very active in the latter portion of this event, I'm sure my character's presence would be greatly appreciated right now. >_< I don't wanna say I'll have a post out by X date because I can't guarantee anything, simply put. Appreciate you guys mentioning me so it makes it easier for me to try and keep track of what's going on. ^^

@C. Thunder Dash @Cinnamon Coffee @Dynamo Pad @ExplosionMare @Kronos the Revenant @Pastel Heart @Samurai Equine @Windy Breeze Silver arrived at the final level with the others, quickly surveying his surroundings as any good adventurer would, and noticing how grim and barren the terrain was compared to the last level. Silver watched as several monsters begun to close in on them, only to discover that they couldn’t harm them until they actually entered the level. So, into the portal they all went, arriving in Kronos’ base, which turned out to be a rather high-tech ordeal. They all assembled, and Silver noticed that their team had grown once again. He wished he had the time to meet all these new ponies properly, but that would have to wait for another time. Of course, their session wouldn’t be complete without more taunts from Kronos. Hopefully they would have the last word in this exchange. It would seem that Pastel had gone missing. Hopefully, she was safe wherever it was that she went off to. But one the newcomers had an ability to sense energies, and apparently could tell where Pastel was inside the base. Armed with this new information, the best course of action would be to follow this… Tree Song, was it? The kirin would follow the others and do his best to prepare himself for the boss fight ahead. A few them hadn’t participated in a boss fight before, so it would be a new experience to figure out. He also heard some with questions regarding what Kronos was like. “I talked to Kronos the first day I arrived in Friendshire.” Silver explained as they walked along. “He is a fierce warrior, a very competitive fighter, and he will not go down easy. This isn’t even taking into account any boosts that he’s undoubtably received from this game; it will require the cooperation of everypony here in order to take him down. Sorry to say, but we’ve definitely got an uphill battle ahead of us, as one might expect from the final level.”

@C. Thunder Dash @FuntimeMare @Oni Equine @PawelS @Windy Breeze “Oh okay, no problem, just wondered.” Silver wouldn’t have to wonder for long, for they would get their tower finished first, and it transforms into a fountain before their eyes. Silver wasn’t quite sure what it was that they had just accomplished, but he wouldn’t get much time to think about that, as they were all soon transported back to the lobby once again. Silver looked towards Pencil as she received their reward for finishing the game. Based on her query, the Kirin assumed that whatever they were just awarded would allow them to skip the next level. He thought about for a minute before responding. “Yea, I understand the appeal of wanting to skip the next level. It would make things easier on all of us. But I can’t help but think that if we skip it, we’ll also miss out on whatever reward it might have for us. Perhaps we could find out some info on the next level before we decide?” Silver asks the group. “I realize this may not be possible, but I feel like it might be worth trying. Maybe if it’s relatively easy, we can save our level skip for something harder.”

@FuntimeMare “Ah, right on.” He replied with a smile. “I’m never quite sure of what I’m capable of in this game world, either.” He watched Pencil as she lifted another stack of blocks into place and quickly merged with the rest of the tower to create half of a level. Taking his cue, he levitated another stack of blocks up, which soon joined and formed the other half of the level. Silver glanced over at the other towers to find they were keeping up well with the others at this point. “You’ve been doing a good job here, Pencil. Now with the both of us here, I think we stand a pretty good chance of finishing first. Though I’m not even sure what it is that we’ll win. Do you happen to know?” The Kirin asked as he started putting more blocks together.

@FuntimeMare Silver was delighted to hear that Pencil was looking for a teammate and listened intently as she explained how this world worked. It seemed that Pencil had already gathered a significant amount of resources, so all that was left to do was build. From what he could see, all one needed to do was merge the materials together to create the blocks needed for the tower. A bit strange, Silver thought, but they were in a video game world after all. After watching Pencil for a bit, the Kirin understood what needed to be done, and was eager to start helping. “Yep, sure thing, Pencil” He replied. Silver’s horn pattern lit up and he quickly got to work grabbing materials, producing blocks, and lifting them up into place with his magic. He glanced over in Pencil’s direction momentarily and noticed her struggling somewhat to get blocks into place because of how high the tower was getting. “If you want, I could position the blocks and you could keep making more. It’s a bit easier for me to do, because, you know, magic and all.” He suggested. He hoped that she wouldn’t take it the wrong way and think that he was bragging or anything.

@FuntimeMare @Oni Equine (Just tagged you so you know I'm back) Silver wasn’t quite sure what had happened. He had just taken a minute to look around at the scenery least he had thought so, and the next minute nearly everypony was gone through the portal. Silver quickly ran through and was soon greeted by the next level. A bonus game, some sort of tower building puzzle it seemed. The terrain before hm was composed of a mix of grassy plains, dense forests, and rolling hills. He could also see three large mounds in the center, where his teammates had ventured to and began their building. He noticed that Shadow and a new pony he hadn’t met yet had decided to team up, and with the head start everypony else had, Silver figured it would be best if he did the same. Since he had met her earlier, Silver quickly made his way towards the tower that Pencil was working on and stopped beside her. “Hey, Pencil!” He greeted after catching his breath for a moment. “Looks like you’re doing a pretty good job here so far. I noticed some of the other were teaming up, and I got here late, would you mind if I joined in and helped you out?” He asked with a smile.

Nope, that's fine, please do keep tagging me if you want. It reminds me to check in and see what's going on. I don't wanna get too far behind on your progress, and I still will try to post if I can.

Just wanted to say that I appreciate those who are trying to keep me involved in the RP, your efforts don't go unnoticed. ^^ I have midterms going on next and and the following week so I apologize if my posts aren't that great or as frequent as they used to be. I have no plans to leave the RP here I just have a lot going on right now, so please bear with me for a bit!

@ExplosionMare Silver, on the other hoof, wasn’t having as much fun. It seemed that the hippo was enjoying itself, but he certainly was not. Silver elected to jump off the hippo since they had arrived at their destination and him getting any dizzier didn’t sound like much fun. “Sure, if you want to, go ahead, draw some wings onto this guy. Seems you can do pretty much whatever you want here with that paintbrush of yours.” Silver said in reply to Pencil’s question, once he regained his bearings.

@ExplosionMare Silver watched intently as Pencil goes to work creating a creature for him. It doesn’t take long before she finishes and has produced a hippopotamus, which soon started bouncing towards him. This one certainly seemed to have plenty of energy. It did its best to kneel in order make it easier for him to get on its back, which he no problem in doing. “Thanks, Pencil!” He said with a smile. “I’m sure he’ll work out just fine.” He turned and noticed a newcomer among them, who had landed amongst the others near the vehicles. While she talks with the others, Silver turns his attention back to Pencil, who had asked him a question. “Yea, I think so, as I don’t low roll again. My dragon is all I really have to do combat with, so I really rely on him to put the damage in. I do have a sword, but I don’t have much armour, so it’s not really ideal to use unless as a last resort. I also got some sort of food or treats for him as my upgrade item, so I’m curious to see what sort of effect that’ll have on him.” He replied excitedly. The Kirin turned an ear as an announcement came from out of nowhere, the voice belonging to Kronos, wherever he may be situated. Silver had figured the lack of the Rokian pony’s presence meant that he was on the bad side, and this broadcast confirmed his theory. He took this information with a grain of salt and turned his attention back to Pencil, seeing as Trilby was now leading the way. “Lead the way, Pencil!” He exclaimed. “Looks like we’re heading off now; I’ll be right behind you.”

@ExplosionMare Silver watched as most of his teammates jumped into various vehicles to head off toward the next level. As before, he wasn’t all too keen on riding in them, and instead turned his attention towards Pencil, who had drawn and mounted a large bear to use as her mode of transportation. “Hey, Pencil! I’m not too interested in the vehicles either… any chance you could draw me up something as well, if it wouldn’t be too much trouble?” He asked and pointed towards the dragon on his shoulder. “I don’t think he’s ready to be ridden yet, perhaps later on I’ll find something to make him a bit larger.”

@Dynamo Pad @ExplosionMare @Samurai Equine (Sorry if I was holding anyone up, been rough irl lately. Also sorry if I didn't mention you, I'm kinda out of the loop, wasn't intentional...) Silver continues to watch from a small distance as the main battle team makes its way back into the main hub. They receive their various upgrades, and one by one figure out what each one does. They also seem to have brought another pony back with them, one whom Silver is not familiar with. Where did this pony come from? She must’ve joined them during the battle. Either they picked her up along the way, or perhaps they were able to reform the boss? He wasn’t quite sure, but either way, their team was now one pony stronger. The Kirin continued to keep his distance as various ponies rode around on motorbikes and some other sort of vehicle. Once they finished, Silver decided to move in closer to join in on the conversation. Seemed that the new pony, Elusive Facts, was attempting to join all the teams together and create one large team. This would also mean that they would no longer be completing side quests, which had Silver somewhat worried. Silver nodded towards Pencil and replied “I think I’m with Pencil on this one. I understand where you’re coming from, but I would personally prefer to stay on the side quests. We all can use the upgrades, and if my character doesn’t roll well, he won’t have much of a chance against some of the larger threats that are out there. That’s my preference, anyway.”

@ExplosionMare @Samurai Equine @Windy Breeze 🥧 Silver soon joined in on the celebration with the rest of the group as the mini game completed. They were all soon returned to the front of the ice cream parlour and received their respective upgrades as a reward for completing the level. As they wait for the others, Silver smiles and silently observes the rest of his teammates as they checked out their new upgrades. He also brought the small box that he received up closer to examine its contents. It appears to contain some sort of dried food, though Silver wasn’t quite sure what it was, exactly. However, he looked over to his dragon companion perched on his shoulder, who he noticed taking quite an interest in whatever was in the box. The Kirin deduced that it must be some sort of food or treat for his dragon, which would most likely give him a status effect. He would have to wait until the next quest to try them out. Silver hung out idly with the rest of his team, waiting for the rest to come back from the main quest.

@ExplosionMare @Samurai Equine @Windy Breeze 🥧 Silver glanced over at his teammates and noticed that Pencil had decided to send her scorpion over his way to assist him. Silver silently nods his head in acknowledgement and thanks, before turning his attention back to oncoming hoard. The two fought valiantly, until the scorpion was called back by Pencil to assist her with her fight. Thankfully, they had managed to cut down most of the enemies, only leaving five left for Silver and his dragon to deal with. Despite being at somewhat of a disadvantage, with the help of his sword and armour, Silver and his dragon companion are able to take down all five enemies left in his vicinity, before moving over to assist his party members with the remaining demons.

@ExplosionMare @Samurai Equine @Windy Breeze 🥧 Silver chuckled at Pencil’s evil giggle and watched with interest as she went to work summoning a new creation to help them in the mini game. After a short while, she’s finished, and has brought a scorpion to life. He watched the creature disintegrate a nearby tree before they were all pulled into the mini game together. The group was placed on a small platform seemingly floating in mid-air, surrounded by sky and bottomless pit as far as the eye could see. It didn’t take long for the enemies to start coming towards them, and Silver rolls for the effectiveness of his dragon companion. Unfortunately, he only rolls a 2. While not completely useless, the dragon is only able to engage one opponent at a time from a short distance. Thankfully, the enemies are one-hit kills, but there are many of them. Silver’s dragon will need help from the others to stay alive. Silver’s dragon will need help from the others to stay alive. Silver is also able to engage units within striking distance with his sword, but this is more of a last resort than something to be relied upon.

@Samurai Equine @Windy Breeze 🥧 The team enters the shop and Silver looks around briefly. He sees Sundae, and waves at her as she talks to Trilby and Shadow. Certain items, such as upgrades and potions, could be bought here. While they currently didn’t have any money, Trilby noted that they could each get one free item by playing a mini game, an FPS. “Sure, let’s go for it.” Silver agreed with Trilby’s request. "Free early upgrade sounds like a good idea to me."
