Loud Opinion

@@C. Thunder Dash, ​"Hmmm... maybe if I pester her enough she'll just say screw it and I'll get out of farm work in exchange for something less strenuous. That would hardly be sporting so I guess I won't do that. It's really amazing how ponies persecute others just for their knowledge and abilities, I think I heard about a zebra dealing with a similar situation. Sure I did use them for negative purposes, but I had my back to the wall, using it here would just be lazy.". Silver Tongue vision and hearing was starting to fade out of focus as the adrenalin was finally taking it's toll. ​"Besides I can't in this state.". Everything went black and white for Silver Tongue, "Come on she's already fed up, If I stop now than Thunder Dash is gonna make this job much worse.".

@@C. Thunder Dash, "She talked to me, then told me to get back to work asif I started the conversation, even then kicking a tree doesn't exactly take all you're concentration, oh well I'm not one to talk about avoiding half baked logic. Hmmm if a convict notorious for swindling and using adrenalin for the smallest of tasks, were to try to convince me that he had a better method for my job I probably won't trust him either. I guess that hindsight for ya.", Silver Tongue thought to himself, then spoke up at the same time as bucking, "Hey Applejack, you think I would be better off as a sails pony, or are you afraid I'll exaggerate about you're apples, or steal something?". (OOC: the first sting of dialogue was supposed to be in 'italic' but it bugged out and changed it to regular text after I typed it all out.)

@@C. Thunder Dash, "I guess Applejack knows he can read minds, I was half expecting Applejack to look at him like he was crazy. That would have been pretty funny, for him to try to explain that.". Silver Tongue let out a light chuckle at the thought and tried to continue bucking trees as best he could. "Don't worry warden, Applejack won't let the nasty criminal try anything funny.". "Geez everyones so touchy today. Its almost like everyone forgot how to laugh, and said screw it were gonna be on a hire trigger today.".

@@C. Thunder Dash, "I knew it I should have just tested it myself. It would have been clear how effective it was, I wouldn't have had to go into an adrenalin rush, and I wouldn't have gotten a warning. Now is not the time to ponder on what might have been, I have to sugarcoat the situation.". Silver Tongue seemed a bit shaky, but retorted with a lighthearted smile facing Applejack, "You're still worrying about that? you gotta learn to let stuff go. So whats next?".

@@dusk.night, Hi, here is my oc; can you draw a close up of him with a sly grin, for my avatar?

@@C. Thunder Dash, Is this rp still going, are you taking a break from it, or do I just need to get the ball rolling again? Also when Applejack said this; 'Apples continually grow on these trees, so be careful.' I only just now thought that she could have been giving my oc permission for his idea, is this the case or am I just reading too far into it?

@@C. Thunder Dash, "Only time will tell.", Silver Tongue replied, refreshing his rush whenever it started to wear off. "I guess farmwork isn't that hard, just very dangerous. Maybe those two months in prison really did get to me. Is it normal for everything to go black and white? Oh well, to make an omelet and so on.".

@@C. Thunder Dash, "Maybe for you but I don't have superpony strength, unless... I'm going to have to see a doctor about this afterwards but I can't fail such an honest pony.". Silver Tongue facehofed, shacked rapidly, and turned to face the tree giving it a buck. Lo and behold all the apples fell. Silver Tongue was rushing from tree to tree asif under a time limit. "Activating an adrenalin rush may not the safest way to get the job done, but it won't get done otherwise, not with my scrawny muscles.". "Don't worry I haven't lost my mind yet!", Silver Tongue tried to reassure applejack between bucks.

@@C. Thunder Dash, We all make mistakes every once in awhile, the important thing is that you can recognize and correct them. @@C. Thunder Dash, I don't know if it notifies you automatically but I have made some minor changes to my oc here http://mlpforums.com/page/eqw-characters/_/approved/silver-tongue-r172.

@@C. Thunder Dash, "Wow, she didn't even give me a chance, just shut me down like I didn't know what I was doing, well I didn't know what I was doing, but thats where creativity shines the most.", as Silver Tongue continued trying (and failing) to buck the apples down he remembered the debacle with the flim flam brothers, "Right those hot shots must have ruined any chances I had with that idea.". "Okay, I'm in your farm i'll use your methods. Just remember the easy way isn't always the wrong way if you have good intentions.".

@@C. Thunder Dash, Silver Tongue was trying to fight back the urge to start ranting, "Right its tradition aka, 'I'm afraid to try something new', oh please forgive me for disgracing your sacred tradition of kinking a tree of which we all must be subject to.". Silver Tongue instead tried his best to put it as gently as he could, "Applejack, I don't know what I did to lose your trust, but my way is simply more efficient if it works. I speak from experience when I say, you can't just deny new things just because you're used to the old ways, change is the only way to grow, and if you don't grow you get passed up.".

@@C. Thunder Dash, Silver Tongue knew that Applejack wouldn't see eye to eye with him, and decided to keep their conversations to a minimal. he went bucked another tree now that all his negative emotions were vented, but this time not a single apple fell, "There has to be an easier way to do this.". Silver Tongue thought to himself ​"Maybe if I got a large stick, I could just shake the branches instead of having to shake the entire tree. I will have to be careful not to shake any loose branches.". Without thinking about tradition he spoke up, "Hey, Applejack, you don't happen to have a long stick lying around do you?".

@@C. Thunder Dash, "Pleas Thunder, it was practically my job to control emotions.", Silver Tongues anger was gone just as suddenly as it arrived, but his face turned very serious when he turned to face Applejack. "I messed up but thats not your problem Applejack. besides it had to come out sometime, and what better time than then?".

@@C. Thunder Dash, With a nod Silver Tongue trotted up to the next tree, "Right, celestia forbid I do something i'm good at like selling apples. Well might as well give it my all.". Focusing all of his anger and frustration he had bottled up from the past two months into one buck to the tree, all while being very careful not to let it show in his face.

@@Lightning Bliss, Understood hope you find what you're looking for where you're moving.

@@C. Thunder Dash, "As much as I would love to see how good my first lie can slip by, I must confirm that this is very mandatory for me. By the way my name's Silver Tongue, but don't let the name fool you, my cooking doesn't taste like silver.", Silver Tongue lightheartedly replied. ​"If I do redeem myself than good for me, but something in me needs to change to stop this from happening again.".

@@Lightning Bliss, Darn, just as my oc got approval. Maybe you can set it up in the 'Equestrian Empire' section. It might be more strict for your rp, but the rp players are more diligent about the rules. At least, so ive been told.

@@C. Thunder Dash, Silver Tongue wondered where he would go after his sentence ran its course. "Its probably best not to go back to the whole magician thing. Hmmmm... how about writing, ya that could definitely work. I'll need another source of income though. Right... maybe I could do odd jobs until the writing takes off.".

@@C. Thunder Dash, "Well excuse me if you don't strike me as the joking type.", Silver Tongue thought, "Right farm work, hey maybe it's not as hard as they say.". He pondered if applejack would take his less than athletic dimenor into consideration. If not than he had quite the task ahead of him.

@@C. Thunder Dash, Hold on a minute, this: Does not mean, this: Silver Tongue giggled. the former was an analogy, stating that an irish sailor would giggle at the amount of cursing he was doing in his minde.

@@C. Thunder Dash, "Okay you got me, that pun was intentional. I guess thats another week of community service for me.". getting over his panicked state, Silver Tongue internally cursed enough to make an irish sailor giggle as he realized whom he was talking to. "Calm down, he has to have some sense of humor right?", Silver Tongue hoped he hadn't just dug himself into an even deeper hole. "Well no point in wondering about what might be right?".

@@C. Thunder Dash, The intimidating stare was not helping his confidence, ​"I wonder if he enjoys watching me squirm. Crap im going to regret thinking that. Well its not like he can persecute me over a thought right?". "Easy warden, it was a slip of the tongue, no pun intended.", Silver Tongue said hastily.

@@C. Thunder Dash, Remembering the few hours of garden work he did, Silver Tongues turned to a thousand yard stare wondering how far he could gallop before he was struck down by a lightning bolt. The whole reason he resorted to stealing was to avoid a labor based job, and farm work was the most strenuous. Trying not to panic he put his mind to the other statement, "The cider won't be necessary, farm work is hard enough when sober. Besides Applejake will probably be too fixed on her work to strike up a conversation.". (OOC: that was not a typo he really did say Applejake.).

@@C. Thunder Dash, Silver Tongue woke up from a nightmare, panting in a state of panic he desperately tried to get his heart rate down to a reasonable level. After he had calmed down sufficiently he muttered to himself, "Another nightmare, they've been happening ever since I got caught. Maybe they'll stop when I'm done with this community serves.". As Silver Tongue awaited Thunder's return he wondered what task awaited him.

@@C. Thunder Dash, "Its just cleaning a house, how hard could it be?" silver tongue forgot how hard his old chores were. The fancy furnishing was not nearly as easy to clean as his simple chair and bed. As silver tongue was cleaning the bathroom he stopped and rested at the sink. splashing some some water in his face he looked up at the mirror. He said to himself, "Its just one week, then I can go... back... to... Nothings changed, too months and nothings changed. Who was at fault? Thunder dash? No, he was just doing his duty. That just leaves me. Was I that bad of a magician that I had to resort to petty theft? Well I guess I could try it his way seeing as my way didn't work so well.". Finishing the house he awaited Thunder Dashes return.
