@Windy Breeze 🥧 Silver also saw Sundae join Samurai and the others, and quickly waved his hoof before returning to his conversation with Kronos. Maybe he should have gone with them? Oh well, all he would have done is stand there awkwardly anyway, not knowing what to say. @Kronos the Revenant Silver couldn’t help but give Kronos a bit of an amused look as he circled him. He was used to ponies being a bit curious about him, and Kronos didn’t appear to be a threat, at least for the time being. Kronos offered him his hoof…or whatever it was…and Silver returned the gesture the best he could. “Same to you, Kronos. I’ve never heard of a Rokian or Ragnarok before, so if you don’t mind, could you tell me a bit about yourself and where you’re from?” Silver levitated his journal over in front of him, the flame pattern on his horn glowing a light blue colour while using his magic. “If you don’t want to, I get it, it’s totally fine. I’m just collecting info for my friends and family back home. That is one of the reasons for all my travels.”

@Windy Breeze 🥧 Silver noticed Keen and Shadow heading off with Samurai. “Alright then, I hope your friends at the hospital are doing well. I hope I’ll be able to talk with all of you later.” He waved a hoof at them and moved over towards Kronos, deciding to try and meet everyone outside before moving indoors. @Kronos the Revenant “Hey there! Kronos, right? My name’s Silver Slate, I just arrived in town today. Do you live here, or are you new as well?” Silver asked with a smile. “I’ve been traveling across Equestria looking to discover who else we share this wonderful world with. We Kirin don’t get out much, which probably explains why a lot of ponies have never seen one before…"

@Windy Breeze 🥧 “Oh wow, that sounds awful, Keen!” Silver replied sympathetically. “I trust you’re doing much better now. Initially I only came here to get food, and while I’m not completely out, I’d like to find something with a bit more sustenance than dried fruit. It’s star fruit, I don’t know if you’ve ever had any, a lot of ponies I’ve talked to haven’t. Speaking of Las Pegasus, I’m with you on the arcade games there. Is that something you’re into? I had no knowledge of them beforehand, being from an isolated village and all. But I sure am a fan of them now. I may or may not have spent a few too many bits at the arcade while I was there.” He said with a sheepish grin. “That’s cool, Sundae. I’m glad you’re getting good business here. I need to find some food that’ll travel better than ice cream, but I’ll be sure to stop by your shop before I leave to pick something up! Ice cream is one of my favourites.” Silver replied with a smile. @Samurai Equine Samurai’s words were rather relieving for the Kirin to hear. So many ponies simply had such little knowledge about Kirin in general, and of course, the only things anypony seemed to remember were negative. If nothing else, at least he’d be in good company. Despite this, it still wasn’t something Silver wished to announce to everypony, so they would certainly have to have a chat later. “Thank you for your kind words, Samurai. I’ll be sure to check out the town square. Oh, you’ve got more friends inside? I’ll be sure to say hi to them as well, I like meeting new ponies.” Silver replied with a smile. “I’m sure I’ll see you later on.” Silver considered taking up Samurai’s offer, though he doubted it was directed at him, but given how he had no idea who these ponies were or what had happened to them, he felt it was best to stay here in the meantime. Plus, he still hadn’t found a safe place for his cart.

@Windy Breeze 🥧 “Ah, right on, so what brings you to Friendshire, are you a lone wanderer like me, perhaps?” Silver smiled at Keen. “Or, maybe you just got lost on your way to somewhere else, which is also me right now!” He chuckled. “Yea alright, no problem, perfectly understandable.” He said in reply to Sundae. “So, did I hear that you run an ice cream shop in town, yea? You always done that? How’s business? Town seems a bit quiet, or at least from what I’ve seen so far.” Silver wondered how long he’d end up staying in Friendshire. Really, he only came into town to buy some food. But since he found ponies that might potentially want to talk to him, perhaps he might be staying for a little bit longer. Silver was fine with whatever the outcome might be, after all, he was here to explore the world and make new friends, and so far, the ponies in this town were proving to be rather friendly.

@Windy Breeze 🥧 @Samurai Equine @Kronos the Revenant “Hey Keen, Sundae, and Server, nice to meet you all!” He greeted each of them with a smile. Silver listened to Sundae’s short explanation and made a few quick notes in his journal before replying. “Cool, thanks for the info! Yes, my village, Kirin Grove, is located within the Peaks of Peril, and there really aren’t any other ponies out there. Aside from our village, it is a rather wild and inhospitable place. Anyway, I will definitely want to talk with Samurai Equine when I see him.” Silver then turned his attention to Keen Fan. “How about you, Keen, are you from around here? Anything you can tell me about Friendshire?” Silver thought it was a bit strange that this town had two mayors, and neither of them seemed to be interested in drawing too much attention to themselves. The mayors he had met in other cities wanted pretty much everyone to know who they were. This thought process would be interrupted when a Unicorn and Pegasus suddenly appeared in front of him. Silver blinked a couple times and was about to address them, but the Unicorn stepped forward and spoke first. Silver smiled at the Unicorn’s reaction. He was relieved that, so far, all his interactions with other ponies here had been positive. Some ponies were curious about Kirin, but some were afraid of them. Silver could understand why, it wasn’t every day you saw somepony like him walking down the street, after all. It made being a newcomer in a foreign land just that much more difficult, though. “Yes, I just arrived here about an hour ago! Umm, Samurai Equine, is it? I was just explaining to Keen and Sundae here that I’ve been on an adventure across Equestria to discover the different cultures and races and report my findings back to my friends and family back home. You might be aware that our village is rather isolated from the rest of the world, and it’s been that way for a long time. But there are some Kirin, such as myself, who are trying to change that, and learn more about the ponies around us. Admittedly this town was not on my itinerary, I am a bit lost, but Sundae suggested I talk to you to get more information about the town, and that is the primary purpose of my travels. I’m sure you’re busy right now, and I’m in no hurry, so perhaps this is a conversation we could have later?” He asked hopefully. “I could try to answer any questions you might have for me, as well.” His guess about Samurai’s name would be confirmed when another pony wearing a hat came by and addressed Samurai as such. Silver also learned the name of the Pegasus, Shadow. The sight of more ponies was encouraging for the Kirin, perhaps this place wouldn’t be a total wash after all. The unnamed Unicorn was apparently looking for somepony named Beryl and seeing as how Silver had no idea who this Beryl was, he felt it was best to leave this inquiry to the locals. Sure enough, the whereabouts of Beryl were soon learned when another creature whom Silver hadn’t seen on his travels joined the group that had formed in front of Samurai’s house. He overheard somepony call Beryl a breezie, which was another creature he hadn’t encountered thus far. So many new creatures to meet! Silver was almost too caught up in all the action to notice Shadow noticing him. It was a good thing, too, because a few seconds later, the 10 o’clock Pegasus hug train had arrived at his doorstep. Silver laughed and returned the hug. “Woah! Yes, it’s true, I’m a Kirin, and I can even talk, too!” Silver realized immediately after he said this that nopony here would probably get that joke. He didn’t imagine that many ponies would’ve heard about how, at one point, nopony in the entire Kirin village would speak to one another. “You all are too kind, really. I appreciate it a lot. This is so much better than running for your life while villagers throw stones at you! Sounds to me like you might have more questions for me than I have for you, ah, Shadow, right? Regardless, I’d love to have a chat with you all at some point, the more perspectives I can get for my village, the better!”

@Samurai Equine “Well, this trail isn’t on my map.” Silver looked at the path before him after consulting the map. He turned the map at various angles in some vain attempt to try and make sense of what he was seeing. Silver levitated his compass and scrunched his face in confusion. “I thought this was supposed to be taking me north, back home. Now I’m going south.” The Kirin put his compass and map away, joining his other possessions he brought along in the cart he pulled behind him. “Oh well, guess it’s time for another adventure! That is what I’m here for, after all.” Silver continued down the road for a few more miles, finding a town at the end. He glanced at his map again, and upon seeing nothing marked in the area, shook his head as he pushed forward. Once Silver reached the town, he quickly scanned his surroundings. There were two things that made this town stand out from a lot of the others he had visited in his travels around Equestria. The first thing he noticed was how empty the place was. Maybe there’s a reason this place isn’t on my map. Silver thought to himself. He noted the name of the town on a sign nearby, Friendshire, brought out a rather large journal, and wrote the town name at the top of a new page. The other thing he noticed was some sort of gatekeeper to his right. He looked like somepony who didn’t belong in the position they were in. This seemed strange to Silver, why in Equestria does this town need a gatekeeper? He gave a quick wave to the gatekeeper and moved along on his way. Silver didn’t want to be rude, but he figured the less he said to anypony here, the better. Or, at least until he found out more about the place. Something just didn’t seem right with him, but Silver wasn’t sure of what. Right now, his priorities were to find somewhere to restock his supplies, and then see if he could meet any locals to find out more about this town. Based on the greeter pony, Silver knew there had to be others. @Windy Breeze 🥧 He wandered around the town and noticed many shops and buildings. Rather disproportionate to the number of ponies who live here, how strange. He thought. What Silver really needed, and what he couldn’t find, was a store that sold food. After a few more minutes of searching, he found a rather ornate looking house with three mares standing outside talking. Hopefully one of them could direct him to the nearest market, and maybe give him some information about the town. “Excuse me, hi there!” Silver said with a small smile, walking towards them with his cart in tow. “Hey, I’m Silver Slate, I’ve been traveling all around Equestria on an adventure to discover the many different cultures and races across the country! See, we Kirin don’t really have much information about the outside world. Our village is fairly isolated from the rest of the world, and nopony was interested in venturing far from the safety that it offered, until we were shown the value of the magic of friendship. Since then, we’ve been slowly exploring the rest of the world, and I am one of those Kirin who chose to leave the village to gather knowledge for the rest of my friends and family back home.” Silver levitated his journal from his belongings in his cart. “If one of you wouldn’t mind, perhaps you could share some info with me about Friendshire? Particularly since it doesn’t appear on my map. If you don’t want to, that’s fine as well. All I ask then is if you could point me in the right direction of a market where I may buy some food, and I’ll be out of your manes. It would seem I’m a bit lost at the moment.” He said with a bit of chuckle.

Same man, same.

Nah, graphics aren't everything. They're nice, don't get me wrong, but after a while, playing a game with tons of bugs in it gets really annoying, no matter how nice the graphics are.

Me too! I've been wanting to have a Kirin OC since we were introduced to them back in S8. I just really like the look of them. I doubt many have seen any Kirin before. That'll change soon! Silver looks forward to meeting Shadow and the rest of the town's inhabitants/visitors. ^^ He just tries to stay calm because a flaming rage-monster doesn't exactly make for a good first impression. Glad there are so many that are fond of him. I wasn't sure what the reaction might be.

Thanks for having me! I doubt Silver has met a pony quite like yours either, so it should be fun for both of them! Ok, sounds good, I think I'll wait till the next day, and jump in from there.

Well, I haven't been part of an RP here in a while, but I'd like to give it a go, if you're ok with having me. NAME: Silver Slate AGE: Mid 20's GENDER: Male SPECIES: Kirin OCCUPATION OR DESIRED JOB: Carpenter, currently exploring the world, desires to find something more exciting ABILITIES/TALENTS: Aside from carpentry, Kirin have a large culture of singing, dancing, and theatre, which were a huge part of his life when he lived in Kirin Grove. All Kirin can also use telekinesis, like Unicorns. PERSONALITY: Friendly, adventurous, creative (enjoys numerous activities from reading to painting), and a hard worker. Can come across as reserved or anti-social at times. He’s not being rude; he just doesn’t want to hurt anyone. (See other information) Combined with his sarcastic sense of humour, it can be difficult sometimes to tell when he's joking or being serious. BACKSTORY: Silver Slate, like most other Kirin, is from Kirin Grove, which is a small village located within the Peaks of Peril. Until Fluttershy and Applejack were able to help restore their community, the Kirin were largely cut off from the outside world. Only recently have they started to become interested in exploring the rest of Equestria. Silver is one of said Kirin, who left his family, friends, and stable job as a carpenter to explore the world around him. The village supported Silver in his decision, and he writes to them often to tell them about his findings. ANY OTHER IMPORTANT/RELEVANT INFORMATION: Silver is a very, very calm Kirin. Too calm, actually. This sets the level of anger needed to transform him into a Nirik lower than most other Kirin. Silver's way of dealing with this is to just not get excited at all. This results in most ponies who don’t know him thinking he’s cold or uninterested, but this simply is not true. Due to his calm nature, his Nirik form is less dangerous than normal. Also has an unhealthy hatred towards raisins. DESCRIPTION AND/OR REF IMAGE:  (Sorry, no ref image, just made this guy a couple days ago, and can’t draw to save my life!) Average height and build, green eyes, two-toned name, (Maya blue with strips of steel blue) slate grey coat, light grey carapaces on muzzle and back, horn is dark red with a lighter red flame pattern that glows when using his magic.

Apologies for terribad lighting/image quality.

I heard it also helps to have a Vinyl Scratch avatar. Good to see that some people still don't view friendship as a one-way street!

I don't know why but that 35 ft Orion V looks kinda cute. :3

Headings off for Vancouver today. I'll be there for the full three days.

@@Hypn0ticD, @@Taialin, @ Amidst the confusion, Vinyl Scratch had stepped away, and chose to silently watch a safe distance away from the crowd of ponies that had gathered. She observed the interactions between the human, Discord, and the reigning monarchs of Equestria, occasionally snickering at some of the dialogue being exchanged. As one might expect from Discord, the concert had dissolved into utter chaos. Aside from that, Vinyl still maintained her opinion that the human, who she had heard being referred to as ‘Colette’, had both played and sung very well. She also made out something from the princesses about the human being allowed to perform again, and this news excited the unicorn. Her initial attempt to talk with Colette hadn’t exactly gone as she had hoped, so Vinyl would have to look out for that in the future. She very much enjoyed a good discussion with a fellow musician, even if they didn’t play the same genre of music that she did. Not only that, but with this human being from another world, there could be a number of fascinating things she could learn. However, that would all have to wait. The task at hoof at the moment was slightly less awesome. Princess Luna has requested her subjects to assist Pinkie Pie with bringing all these gifts to the ballroom of Canterlot Castle for the gala that would be taking place later. While it wasn’t the most exciting thing in the world to do, Vinyl certainly could help out. She used her magic to pick up what she felt was her fair share of the load, and proceeded to Canterlot Castle alongside the rest of the ponies.

Yep, that's where I'm staying also!
