Ayla nods. “Great! I’m glad you can slow down when it’s important. I think we could get along well, then. I just met you so there will probably be lots more moments like this as we try to figure each other out. So, tell me, how does somepony like you not have a special somepony? I’m curious~.”
-------------------------------
Silver looks up from his work. “Oh wow! That looks really good, my friend! I never would’ve thought of doing something like that, myself. It’s very creative, and I like the style you chose.” He smiles before returning his attention to his own project “Mine is… definitely not as interesting.” He admits, putting a piece of sandpaper down after a few moments. He chose to make a small, shallow box that was meant to put books in.
“I think both of your projects look amazing!” Charlotte exclaimed.

“Maybe I will get used to flying, then.” She muses. “As for where I’ve been, I’ve been all over Equestria! Appleloosa, Vanhoover, Yakyakistan, Manehattan, Griffonstone, even to the land of the dragons. There aren’t too many places I haven’t been. Japone happens to be one of those places. I never really have a goal in mind I just go with whatever looks the most interesting at the time. One of my favourite things to do is to climb mountains. Yes, I know you could simply fly up to the top, but for me, the journey to the top is just as important as the destination.”
-------------------------
“It is quite relaxing, I’m happy you can have an appreciation for woodworking as I do. It’s been a while since I’ve done anything myself, been out exploring for quite some time. I should change that.” He decides. He selects a darker piece of wood for himself before grabbing some tools with his magic and sitting down beside his friend.
Charlotte sits at the end of the table and watches them both with wide eyes. “How do you have patience for that?” She asks.
-
Ayla listens intently and shakes her head when he’s finished. “I don't think it's too much, I can understand, at least to some extent. Maybe I can’t fly like you can, but… some ponies think it’s weird that I wander so much, or that I can’t stand silence. So I get it. You don’t wanna be tied down, and I don’t either.” She explains.
--------------------------
Silver blinks for a moment. “Huh, didn’t think you’d be interested in making something, Samurai. But sure, that’s definitely something we can do. Was there something you had in mind?” He asked, before pointing to the wood piles. “And how about these different types of wood? Which one looks best to you?”

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.

It was another hot, boring day at Canterlot High School. It was the first day back from summer vacation, and there weren’t too many students keen on what the teacher was lecturing about in class. Most of them found things to distract themselves such as idly doodling in their notebooks, twirling their pencils, or counting how many black dots they could find on the ceiling. Relief would finally come when the loud sound of the bell ushered in one the most important times of the day: lunch time.
Nearly every student in the school now made their way to the cafeteria to peruse the selection of food prepared by the staff for the day. Today, the menu options were hayburgers with hayfries, an assortment of fruits and veggies, baked potatoes, and chocolate chip cookies for dessert. The numerous windows in the room let plenty of natural light, showcasing the beautiful, sunny day that awaited them later on. Colourful posters on the walls advertised the school’s dirt track racing team. As it was the first day of school today, a mixture of both excited and anxious student filled the room. Some are in line to get their food, others have taken their seat at a nearby table, while others mill about the room looking for a spot. The room is noisy, so softer-spoken students may have to raise their voices in order to be heard.
(OOC: This is where the adventure for your characters begins! Enjoy!

Yes, but I wasn’t born yesterday, my target is not the only danger out there. The wilderness is infinitely more dangerous. Nebel thought to himself. House would provide him with equipment either way, which he gladly accepted. He would select a spell launcher, an armoured jumpsuit, four repair kits, and three surgomancy packs.
“Yes, understood. No further questions from me.” Nebel replies with a curt nod, before being escorted out of the casino.
With his direction set, and his supplies in his saddlebag, Nebel made his way through the city. Inside the walls, things were secure, so he could gallop along without worry. He would soon reach the gates and looked back for a few moments before proceeding forward. He had no idea what he may encounter out here, having never left the city before. He understood the seriousness of this mission, he may never come back to Stable 21. The unicorn did his best to push these thoughts out of his mind and focus on the task at hoof.
He would only make a few steps forward before a rustling sound caught his attention. His ears swiveled towards the source of the noise, a smaller creature attempting to hide behind some bushes a short distance from the road. He cautiously approached it, weapon at the ready, despite not really having any idea of how to use it. He slowly peeked behind it and was both relieved and annoyed by what he found behind it: his sister, Nightfall.
“What are you doing out here, Nightfall?” He asked in a low voice. “This is no place for a young filly. Do you have any idea how dangerous it is out here?”
A pair of dark red eyes looked back at him. “Do you?” She countered.
Nebel closed his eyes and sighed. “You know what I have to do. You know the way our stable works, everything is decided through games of chance. It so happened that this time, I wasn’t so lucky. Now I have to go try and hunt somepony down. Or some creature, I suppose, I don’t really know. But that’s not the point, the point is you shouldn’t be here.”
“How far did you think you were gonna get without these?” Nightfall moved out of the bush to reveal a holstered talon gun, a canteen, and her own saddlebag, which she opened to reveal some food and binoculars inside.
“I would’ve figured something out.” He replied. “I’ve read lots of books about surviving in the wilderness. It won’t be easy, but I’m confident I…”
Nightfall rolled her eyes. “You, Middy, and your books. Books don’t tell you how to deal with the real world. Books are only useful if everything goes to plan.”
Nebel gave her an unimpressed look. “You’re twelve years old and you’re trying to lecture me on what the real world is like? What do you know about how the world works?”
“More than you.” She said softly. “I can count on one hoof how many times you’ve been outside of the stable. You need me. I’m not going anywhere.”
Nebel frowned, knowing how stubborn Nightfall was. She would argue with him into the night if that’s what it took. “I’m not approving of you coming with me, but if you insist on doing so, please be more careful. I heard you over here in this bush. You’re best to stick to the main road, anyway, it’s safer.” He explained as he led the way. “The further you go off the path, the greater your chance of tangling with some wild beast.”
Nightfall nodded her head in agreement. “Got it. So where are we headed?”
“House told me that the attacker was last seen somewhere between Primm and Sweetwater, so we should head in that direction and start looking for clues. Maybe ask around and see if anypony has knowledge of what happened.” Nebel answered, his response lacking confidence.
Nightfall sensed this, but given the situation, for once, didn’t have an argument to come back with.

Ayla notices Fukami wandering off and chooses to follow him as he goes around the village. He helps out quite a few kirin along the way, but it doesn’t seem to her that he has an end goal.
“Ummm, where are you going, Fukami?” She asks after a while. “You just seem to be… wandering.”
-------------------------
Silver nods his head in reply. “I work with whatever wood the lumberjacks bring me. Mostly jungle wood, which gives my pieces a bit of a distinctive look, or so I’ve been told. Here, I’ll show you.”
Behind the desk, there’s another door, which Silver opened and invited the others to follow him through once they were done looking at the pieces at the front.
Inside this room, there are various machines and hand tools strewn about the shop. Large piles of lumber were at the back of the room, and a larger door, used to bring in the wood from the lumberjacks when they made deliveries. There are a few different types of wood in the piles, some are dark, some have a red tinge to them, while others are more pale in colour.
-
“I see, very well, Fukami.” Silver said with a nod. “You’re free to do as you wish.”
Silver would lead them a small ways until they arrived at his shop. The whole way, various kirin would smile, wave, and give their thanks to the two samurai for saving the village.
Once they arrived, Silver got out a key from his saddlebag and opened the door. Inside, the atmosphere of the ship was a bit… musty. A small layer of dust could be seen on most surfaces. The front room was small and had a desk with some chairs set up, along with some of Silver’s projects he had worked on over the years. A large dining room table and chair set were placed by a window that looked outside, next to it, a large display cabinet. Inside of the cabinet, there was a candlestick holder, rings made out of wood, and some wooden hearts. Charlotte saw a rocking chair and went to sit down on it, only to sneeze from all the dust that was stirred up.
“Ah yes, apologies for the dust, it’s been a while since I left. I’ve been away visiting a lot more places this time, not just Japone.” He explained.
-
“It’s fine, Fukami.” Ayla replied with a smile. “I have nowhere to be, and it sounds like whatever Samurai is doing here is important. I can just follow along with you all and we can leave whenever everypony is ready.”
“I’m all for putting on a show, however, there are still a couple of places in the village we haven’t visited yet. There’s my woodworking shop, and there’s also the kirin history museum, too. I’m fine with doing any of these things. You’ve both done your job here, so at this point, I just want you guys to relax and enjoy this place I call home.” Silver explains.
-
“Oh, it’s been a couple years now since I wandered into this village.” Ayla explains. “As I mentioned earlier, I’m somewhat of a nomad. I don’t really belong anywhere, but despite this, Charlotte took me in and always makes sure I’m looked after. She’s like the sister I never had.” She says, looking over to Charlotte and smiling. Charlotte returns the smile, accompanied by a hug.
Once they all meet up, Silver can’t help but chuckle as Samurai explains about Fukami always looking for a date. “I see, I shall keep that in mind. Ayla, it’s nice to see you again, where is it that you two intend to go?” He asks curiously.
“Oh, he’s taking me to Japone, to his region or whatever he calls it.” She replied casually.
Silver’s eyes went wide. “Wow! That’s, uh, quite the first date. Does that mean you’re leaving now, Fukami? This is all rather sudden, isn’t it? I feel like it was just a few minutes ago we walked into the blacksmith.” He remarks.

Yes, as per my introduction post, this will be a slice of life-style RP based in Canterlot High School.

Thanks, your application has been accepted! I will add you to the list and when we're ready you shall be tagged.

Silver nods his head in agreement as they walk out of the blacksmith. “For sure!” He looks around for a moment. “Hmm, I don’t see Charlotte or Fukami, I wonder where they went to. Do you think we should go look for them?” He asks Samurai.
-------------------------
Ayla listens intently as Fukami explains honorifics. “Oh! Ok, I see. That makes sense, I guess.” She giggles a bit. “Are we gonna leave right away, or are you and your samurai buddy still wanting to explore this place?” She asks.
Charlotte is excited at the prospect of leaving the village to discover Japone, but at the same time, she hopes her timid nature when it comes to exploring doesn’t drag the group down.

The blacksmith takes the book from Samurai with his magic. “Very interesting plans you have here, Samurai.” He comments as he studies the page for a moment. “I am confident that I can make something works with these that will be to your liking. Not sure what your plans were, but this shall take some time for me to complete. So, I would suggest heading off for a while and coming back later.” He suggests before turning his attention back to his work.
------------------------------------
“Honorifics?” Ayla repeats, looking even more confused than before. “I, uh, I just don’t think I’m ever gonna understand your culture.” She says with a bit of a laugh. “Nope, I don’t mind the company at all, the more the merrier!”
“As long as you don’t mind putting up with me being scared and all…” Charlotte says quietly after Fukami and Ayla land. “Wouldn’t want to ruin your fun.”
-
Ah! I actually like that idea a lot better. What you've suggested here sounds good to me, so let's go with that.
-
“Oh wow, that looks really cool!” Silver exclaims. “I can’t say I’ve ever seen anything like that before. That’s an amazing goal to set for yourself, and I hope that one day you are able to get these made.”
“Nor have I.” The blacksmith says. “This looks incredible, Samurai. Though once again, I have to say that this is not something I am capable of producing. Perhaps there’s something a bit simpler you have in that book of yours that you can share with us?” He asks.
-------------------------------
“Ayla…chan?” She repeated very slowly. “What’s that mean? I’m just Ayla.” Her eyes went wide as Fukami used his wind magic to propel her into the sky. “Woah!” She exclaimed. “What is this?” She called out to Fukami. “I can’t say I’ve ever been to Japone before, count me in!”
Charlotte looks up at them from the ground. “I’d love to go to Japone, too!” She shouted. “We just… can’t leave my brother behind. He’s always wanted me to go on one of his adventures with him. I’ve just been too scared… I’m not much of a traveller like him and Ayla are.” She admits.
-
Much better, thank you.
I will add you to the list of participants and you shall be tagged when the RP begins!

Hey there, @Saturn Ring, thank you for your application! Overall, I have no issues with your character, but I will need a bit more information about her, first.
Please have a look at the template I provided in my original post to get an idea of what we're looking for. The most important parts would be likes/dislikes, and talents/skills.
-
Armour: Armored Stable/Vault jumpsuit
Weapon: Spell Launcher
Extras: 4 repair kits, 3 surgomancy packs.
I have a question regarding Nightfall. Since she will be Nebel's companion, will there be an opportunity for her to get geared up before they head out? I doubt that he would let her go anywhere unarmed.

“That’s understandable.” She replies. “I suppose I should clear things up a bit, however obvious they may be. I’m not a samurai. I’m not royalty. I don’t understand ‘class expectations’. But I’m glad you’re open-minded, because that’s all I really care about. I’m more than used to other ponies judging me because of my race, how I look, and the sort of lifestyle I choose to lead… you know, shallow things that I either cannot control or are not anypony else’s business.” She explains.
---------------------------------------
“Thank you, both.” Silver says with a small smile.
“Uhhh, nah, I don’t think I could make anything remotely as nice as what you just did.” She shakes her head. “I’ll just stick to art, it’s what I’m good at.”
“Was there anything else you’d like to do here, Samurai?” Silver asks. “Otherwise, I think we should make our way to the kirin history museum to finish off the village tour.” He suggests.
