Lightning Bliss

@, Bliss's eyes dazzled at the amazing use of Blaze's magic to warm himself and gladly got up and leapt into the circle next to him gratefully. "Only if you don't mind me sticking to you like glue! Buurrr it's cold!" She squeeed and cushioned up to the male alicorn's side, not so much for affection but for more warmth. "Sorry if I seem clingy, I just don't want to risk getting sick again. I mean this cloak is helping...it's just...well..." She looked at her legs that were openly exposed to the cold, "It seems I should have bought some booties too...gah I hate booties..." She levitated her hood up and firmly planted it over her thick big ears and continued trotting with Blaze through the snow.

@, @, (OOC Ok, I guess we can take this to the mountains now? Sorry if I push it ahead now since I'm tired of waiting for replies of one person...) The group finally were beyond the city limits and into open country, heading north towards the mountains. As the miles and hours ticked behind them, the tempatures slowly began to drop...and the winds started to pick up. The cold sent a shiver from the tip of Blissy's nose all the way down to the tip of her tail. She pulled her cloak up and wrapped it around her arms as she continued to flutter next to Hurricane. She could feel her nose was starting to drip a bit, and turning a light annoying pink. @@purple.teal, "Guess...we're on the right path...A...ah....ACHOO!" She sneezed so violently it thrusted her downward, making her crash land on her rump next to Everlast. "Ouch...*sniff sniff* yup...defiently on the right path..."

@@arkman575, @@Firehearted, @@Bada3oom Box, My time has come...it is time to rise once more... Blight's grin embellished into the dead body of the white alicorn... While the others were distracted with the alteration of a new castle...and a ugly battle ensued between the wolf and the vampire Atlas...with the new Vampire Princess looking on in front of the once innocent living being of Lightning Bliss...her body began to convulse. Bones began to stretch, crack and tether...as the body began to grow...The hint of her once beautiful gleaming white coat...turned dim horrorific gray...Her rainbow mane and tail, now began to glow in different hues of red...and her began to grow long and pointed. Sharp as a dagger....Sharp as a vampire's fang... The fools would not know what is happening till it was too late...Blight was coming...the real battle would begin soon... (OOC yes none of you realize that Blight is transforming and coming to the scenes, keep it that way lol, I'll emerge soon enough!)

Here ya go, have fun drawing mine, becareful I'm picky! - Long black tail with rainbow fluff end - She wears goggles - Yes she has HUGE ears - Golden hooves

@@Firehearted, @@Bada3oom Box, @@arkman575, The body of a lifeless white mare laid, drapping over the sacrificial table....The glow of the room seemed to be glowing intenstly however as the new found Princess Vampire finally emerged out of the source of the alicorn's life force...But as the red glow of the room barred down, sporting the new vampire leader...the bright red moon seemed to focus its gaze on the alicorn. Dead...that's all she was...death... But not for long....Blight grinned in the undead body... Soon...I will emerge to finish this prophecy....

@, Bliss waved to the others to acknowledge she heard them before turning her attention back to Hurricane. There was a strong updraft for a moment that threw her off some balance. But with a clip flap of her right wing she was able to righten herself with ease. "Well..." Bliss answered rather, hesitently. "It's...kinda a long story but to answer it simply, yes...It was a couple of times...and sadly both were...not so good memories." Her mind drifted into those first two times she'd been to the north. The first time, was much like the second. After she had finished a long diplomatic meeting, and was given a ride by a golden dragon to a vacation spot, curtiousy from the dragons for her taking such a long time to travel to their lands. The spot was in the north, a cabin in the woods for tourists. But what would happen there next was full of horror, blood and...doubt. But she quickly shook of the memory of the horror factor and instead switched to the more ailment of her trip. "I got sick up there...badly sick...think it was hyperthermia...and well...the second time I went up there I caught a really, really sick with some kind of flu..." she lied slightly on the second part knowing it was an actual curse of sickness brought on by the circumstances of the horror factor. "I guess...the cold doesn't really agree with me at all. I do hope we camp more often and get fires going in the night."

@, As a pony artist myself, when I first started out drawing ponies, my OC started out like this: Now I can honestly say all my faults here: - Head and eyes way too big - Legs not long or fat enough, need to be more bell shaped - Body too small to support head She would later develop to this in a few weeks time after tedious practice: Then finally this: My point is... I didn't get to where i am over night, it took practice and repetition over and over and over again, along with looking at other artist and taking advice from the MLP art stylists themselves. If you like, here's one of my vids on how I draw ponies:

@@Pripyat Pony, "Well it seems you are getting more excitment now then expected eh?" Bliss chimed in, slowing down her pace to meet up with the others. "I've been on my fair share of adventures myself, but I never helped a northern pony town like you did...It makes me wonder now...what will come upon us during our travels...Heh this would probably a make a good book. Maybe even rival up to the legends of Starswirl the Beared himself." She kinda giggled at the notion, joking to herself. There was no way their quest could have been as epic as the great Bearded and his travels! @, Bliss then eyed Hurrican above their heads, she looking pretty happy with flying above them. The idea of being free in the air after being on her feet so long, enticed her to join the black mare and then in turn leapt up to join her. The air was crips and clearer as they left the city of Manehattan behind them...heading towards the mountains...

@, She smiled to him and eagerly replied: "I'm just glad we're finally getting the chance to do so. Why don't I start with myself? Since...well technically I brought up the topic." She cleared her throat, while dodging a can that been left on the sidewalk and levitated it up, placing it in the trash bin. "Well I was a pegasus orginally, born in Cloudsdale. I have five other siblings...though my elder sister I don't...see much anymore...But I won't touch that subject. I my second elder sister, she has four foals of her own! I believe she's still living in Cloudsdale though with her unicorn husband. Ya...how they made that work? He conjured a spell to walk on clouds on a permeanet bases. You can imagine the stares they get when nearly two of their foals are unicorns! They are so cute!" She was really getting into sharing her family personal information and went on. "My stallion brother, Jon Pryzim, he moved to Baltimare to be with his stallion lover, pretty sure he's a former Royal guard. Very nice to him but sadly I don't see him very often. There's my other stallion brother who's with his marefriend back in Cloudsdale. They had a foal of their own too it seems. Ahem...but I'm rammbling. I moved to Appleloosa with my mother and stepfather...after my father passed away... It was just me and my youngst sister Rosie Lips. My step father is a Mustang from Mustangia who wanted the taste of western life in Appleloosa. He showed me a great deal of the joys of running I can tell you that!" She grinned.

@@purple.teal, @, @, Bliss grinned at Hurricane's comment and snickered as they all got on their way, heading out of the city since they were close to the banner. She trotted at a happy pace, next to Blaze, rubbing her shoulder against his briefly. "It's just great to have you back you know," she spoke to him happily. "I admit...it feels like...well since you were...well, under that Entity's control, I never got a chance to really get to know you. I hope...we're not on bad terms?"

@, @@Eloquence, (OOC, NO I am NOT leaving this RP as long as its still going, so what I say now is just for the atmosphere and Bliss's own reactions, feel free to follow or stop her.) Bliss's eyes watched the solider with interest as he spoke of Prince Shining Armor and handing the note to DarkStar. She was just as curious to read what the Prince had to say to her newest addition of a friend..but knew better then to question his own business. But then when she heard him say "We must find Chase," her eyes went wide with shock...then quickly turned into a firm frown. "No way, no how sir," she stomped her hoof firmly and turned away. "I am tired...I'm fed up with this night...I've watched ponies get hurt and you nearly broke every bone in your body because of a situation that's between me and a formal school bully. I want to go home...not go on some adventure to find some rogue stallion who has it out for me!" She started towards where the guard came from, every word she meant lingered in her mind. All she wanted to do was to get home, and see her beloeved Nights Hoopla...take a warm silky bubble bath and curl up in bed. She did stop however for a moment to turn to Eloquence. "If you have anything to say on this Eloquence, it should be to just come with me. Luna had an escort carry me home, I'm sure you could come with me. The pegasus guards can fly you home in hop, skip and a jump."

@@purple.teal, @, @, "Alright then!" Bliss smiled and levitated her food up, "I'll head down the ways and get my new cloak then. I'll be back in a jiffy!" She then proceeded to gallop down the cement paved road, dodging taxi wagons as she went while holding her food up in the air high while eating it on the go. Normally she wouldn't do this but she was so hungry and so eagered to get out of the city finally, that she didn't care. But she could defiently hear her mother's voice chiming in the back of her head: 'Chew you're food you're an animal!'. She could only giggle at the notion and press on. She skidded to a stop at what looked to be described as the coat store the food cart pony described, and haistly went in. She stated her business quickly after swallowing the last of her food and was handed a brown tethered cloak. It was old defiently and had a few holes in it, but it was heavy and soft, perfect for winter climates. She thanked the clerks, then rapidly flew back to the others. The cape was a heavy brown color, with a thick hood. Luckily for her, it was more then big enough to cover her big long ears. "How do I look?" She asked everypony.

I hate cold and wet due to its the perfect elements for catching a cold, the flu or strep throat for me...and even ear infections, don't ask why. I hate hot and humid, it makes it feel hotter then it is, and just for some reason increases my anger.

@, Bliss could only smile at the stallion who believed he could reach out and make friends with Chase...but she knew Chase better then any pony around...aside from his own family of course. There was no reasoning with the stallion, not unless she attempted to, but even then...he wouldn't be satisfied till he had his revenge on her. "I'm sure if you found him again and tried...who knows what will happen...I just know I've never been able to reach him...Because well," she sighed, "he never gave me the chance to. It's several things with him that will make him happy it feels...I either submit to him and be his mare...To which I never will...I've married my husband. Or I face him in combat...to which he'll beat me to a bloody pulp...Though I'm hoping if I were to let him do that, he would finally be at peace...but I know he won't stop with this violence...He'd want to keep beating me till there's nothing left..." At that she hotly turned on Dark Star at his comment against her magic of peace. "Peace isn't something to be forced into the hearts and minds of others good sir!" She stomped a hoof, "you have to want it yourself...You have to except it into your heart...If you want it to...Chase was uneffected by my magic because he didn't wish for peace...He wished for fightning...Fighting against you...so that he could take his revenge..." She turned away, feeling hurt by his comment, as well as the truth of her magic. "My magic isn't meant for fighting...or defeating foes like Twilight, or Luna, or Cadence or even Celestia... it's about making peace...What good is the alicorn of peace...if she fights using her own magic?" She turned to Eloquence and Dark Star then, "nothing...because my magic isn't meant for fighting...It's a choice...and it reacts by choice..."

@@purple.teal, Finally after a moment of reflecting Bliss shook her head and quickly replied to the chef pony. "I'll have the biggest sandwich you got! Wish some peach cobbler please!"She laid down some bits for him without asking how much, giving twice then it really was worth, then turned to Everlast. "I plan to eat on the fly, I gotta find a clothing store to get a cloak before we head north." "Oh heading north are we ponies?" The eagered food cart pony spoke out as he was making their food, "there's a nifty lil'clothing store just down the block from here. They take in cloaks and coats, along with other clothing items and give them to ponies in need. I'm sure they'd be willing to help you out!"

Ya... it's been awhile since I posted a blog here, quite crazy actually. There's loads to tell, but probably so much I can't remember it all off on the bat, but I will certaintly give it my shot. Prehaps asking my own self some questions would help this to go forward...So here it goes. 1. How's the married life treating you? Wow, marriage is the best thing in my entire life...I mean I cannot imagine continueing on through life without my husband. He's my world, my moon in the sky...my rainbow on a cloudy day. No matter how hard things get in life, I always know I can smile knowing I have someone so loving, that will be there to support me and love me back just as much. Last night we did an interesting practice, negatives and positives about each other in our relationship. It's supposed to be kinda like marriage therapy for one another. No we aren't having problems, but I heard about it once and wondered "Hey why don't we try it? See what happends?" So we did, and interesting outcomes. We addressed our dislikes of one another, but those were...quite hard to find surprising, nonetheless we still managed to find something we didn't like about each other. For me not liking with him it was: He doesn't have the love and patience of my siblings down He doesn't do little things to show his love for me, like writing me a text (however he did buy me a surprise snack knowing i'd be hungry so that was nice) When it's my turn to pick a movie for us to watch, unlike me when I always watch what he wants to watch, but he won't watch the movie I pick out with me. It's not fair. What he doesn't like about me: I'm a serious workaholic. When I'm not assistant managing a restraunt, then I'm working on the computer right when I get home. I'm OCD when it comes to my computer or working space, to the point of insanity. I'm not so willing to try new things game or movie wise And now for our positive feedbacks, these were so much easier to come up with! My positives for him: He puts up with all my weird quirks despite No matter how hard things get, he finds a way to calm me down and love me, and tell me it will be alright His gentle nature, and love for me, unconditional His positives for me: That I keep my child innocence, especially when I get excited about something My energy, and the will to keep loving what I do My courage to never give up, despite how bad things get This was quite the interesting practice, I do look forward to doing it again. I think in a way it helps us to reconnect our bound for each other, to help us work on the things we may need working on, but still remind each other why we are so crazy about each other to begin with. 2. How's work going? Work...work is split into two areas for me. There's my primary job which is working at Subway, (for those that don't know, Subway is a fastfood joint, that prides on serving sandwiches to customers at a speedy friendly service), and my job as an artist/brony reviewer. Both I suppose are going well, but are not without its stresses...The Subway job being the most stressful because it impacts my physical and emotional wellfare. Subway Job: This is a job that requires loads of patience, common sense, and a williness to go above and beyond the call to satisfy others. I'm the Assistant Manager, and surprisingly got to this position only months after starting work here back in late August. Never did I thought that my cheerful personality, and my litteral way of doing/getting things done, would point me out or make me out to be a good leader. That's just it, I'm a leader of a team of employees, and my manager counts on me to help her keep everypony in line. - Make sure everything stays in order in the store - Clean - Prep: Food, drinks, cups, plates, the line of food, bread, cookies, soup, meatballs etc - Cash ins, cash drops, money in safe, money in change funds, - Keeping track of the money - Assisting customers - Handling catering orders etc The list can go on longer but I don't wish to bore the viewer... Point being its not so bad once you get a routine and strategy down... I suppose I've always had a good way to get a list in my head going and know exactly what to do first. Like Twilight I have a routine and a list of things I need to get done to stay organized and ahead of the day...Sadly though, when working this close to customers, it can become quickly unpredictable during a day's shift. There will be those customers that know this is just a place to get food, and it has its limits. We could be out of certain items, or we could mess up a purchase, it happends, we're only ponies! But then you'll get customers that are out for blood...you screw up once and they blame you for it all. There is no mercy with some people...They don't care that you've worked 7hrs on your feet without a break, they don't care your financial status isn't so good, they don't care you're hungry or need to go to the mare's room...All they care about is getting their sandwich exactly their way...otherwise they will call the Corporation on you for indesency....Yes I've actually have a customer threaten me before, despite all I said was "I'm sorry ma'am...if there's anything I can do to make your visit to Subway better? I could offer you a free cookie for your troubles?" Instead i get responses like "You're being rude polite and I don't like it, I'm reporting you to the Corps for this!" *sighs*. This job will test you on your emotional ability of self control. I remain nice...and gentle...but when I'm home, I'm too tired and bitter to care. Creative Brony/Reviwer Job: Probably the best job in the world, I get to draw all day, take requests, do my own pony shows, join in on collabs, do some voice acting or singing with other reviewers. I'm part of group of brony reviewers known as The Rift Cafe members. (No I'm not in this trailer...This was made a few weeks before I was invited into the group) However, I don't have a patenon, I don't get paid for my shows. I do get paid for any commissions or requests I do, but needless to say its not much. It's quick pocket money at best... I do hope it will pick up...However when I say that, at the same time I'm hoping it won't pick up. You see I'm already involved in...*counts* ............About 5 different projects with some of these group members. They are everything from collabs about an episode, creating OC puppets in Flash, to singing and voice acting. This does not include the several side projects I've lined up for myself...and quite frankly, I'm shocked I've not suffered a major burn out yet...though I've come pretty close. I can't say I hate doing this, I really do love it! But when you got my current job above my head, battling with this one, against precious time to myself with my husband and family...one days...get really sad and frustrated....You can see why my husband says I'm a workaholic now right? Overall though...it's been a rough time with my jobs...and I am hoping if not praying I can find a solution to get through it all, or hope it will all settle down to a point that its managable...One can only hope. If any viewers have any questions for me regarding the topics listed, feel free to give me a shout out below.

@, @@Eloquence, "Eloquence's magic, helped mine to be controlled long enough for it to do what it needed to do what's best for us..." Bliss finally came out of her giggling, her tone was soft and assured of itself. She too slowly got up and stumbled over to Eloquence and DarkStar to check on the brave stallion's physical wellbeing. "The magic of peace, it's quite interesting how it determines what's best for the situation. I suppose it felt it best it left Chase Razor where he is, so he could do no harm to others. I'm sure he's still back there, sitting if not laying in the street...pondering his next plans to find me and...well force me to face him again." She rubbed her head then, blushing a big. "It's kinda ironic since somepony else is always seeming to face him, but not myself...I know day though I won't be able to avoid him...and I won't have friends to help me when that day comes...But," she placed a hoof on DarkStar and one on Eloquence, "it's good to know I have friends in all sorts of locations to rely on, should Chase Razor return again." She smiled and pulled back, taking a closer look on DarkStar. His tux was clearly ruined as well as his tie, and he was bruised and obviously in some discomfort, but at least he was better off then what he could have been. "You're a mess..." she spurted out bluntly. "Thank you..." and hugged him.

@, @@purple.teal, @, Bliss was about to make an observation on Hurricane's...hesitation about their next goal on their journey but was quickly thrown off by a pecuilar...delicious if not intysing smell...It reeked with apple, green bean, broth. She followed the heavenly aroma of sweet and savoury almost blindly...Before she could stop herself, she smacked horn first into a food wagon. It was heavily painted and stickered with its menus and pictures of what it had to offer. She could see all sorts of delectiable fast food offerings. Hot carrot dogs, green bean cassorle, apple turn overs, peach pie, rattitouie stew...She'd have kept on looking but her mouth was drooling uncontrollably that she nearly went into a trance of just trying to decide what she wanted. "Oh hey there missy!" A light brown earth pony stallion, wearing a chef hat that was well stained with seasoning, stuck his head out from his serving window. "You hungry? You seem to look it! What can I offer you? There's much for you and ah..." he noticed another group of ponies following behind her, "your buddies to choose from! What will it be?"

(OOC Come on guys this RP is slowing down, where are you? Post already! I hate replying one post after one person. I like to give everyone a chance to reply...Can't do that if you're not here!) Bliss giggled and decided not to mention the fact she slept on Hurricane the entire time of chilling. She stepped out into the Manehattan streets and soaked in the cool air. It appeared Fall was in the air, and even so the sweet smell of the falling leaves still gave the poor outskirts of this part of the city, a pleasent feeling of calm. She was thinking of apple pies at this point, or her mothers famous hoofprint cookies, filled with peach or blueberry jelly. At that her stomach rummbled more, thinking of food apparently made it mad. She couldn't help it though, Fall was the beginning of the holidays. Joyful family get togethers was one of her favorite traditions...And now that she's an alicorn, she knew she would find it difficult to head home knowing there might be diplomatic meetings to attend to. "But I'm Princess," she told herself, "surely I can hold off the meetings till the end of the holidays? But...what if its a serious meeting...what if there two different leaders are at odds with each other...what if...Gah!" She shook her head, "Can't think of these things now... I'm already on a quest as it is with the group...Finding Star Swirl the Bearded's end of his own journey. I just...hope that this won't take months of traveling...I'm missing my husband and family as it is."

Here's my Ponysona, as well as my OC: Orginally I was a pegasus but then due to life changing events, A. Graduating the first of my siblings out of college, B. Getting married. That I decided to ascend myself, which took several months of planning and hard work and critics. Feel free to see her character sheet in my sig below along with her Husband's OC and Rival OC. (OOC PS: Reason why she has large ears was due to a fluke in her earlier development and I simply forgot to add that detail in her pegasus puppet while making her first run cycle. She orginally has overly large ears hence why they are big in her alicorn OC.) First Pegasus Now Alicorn

"Well in that case," she stood up and yawned, while stretching her wings out and back like a feline. "Prehaps we should head out while we still have daylight. I don't care if we eat at a carrot dog stand and shop in the garabage, long as I get a coat and some food in my belly, I'm not too picky." She then turned and started heading out the doors of the theater, heading to the auditorium.
