  1. Taking a break from these forums for a while.

      Do what you feel is best. :)

  2. @@Unicorncob,@@Pucksterv, Cirrus held out a hoof to Trivy. "No thank you, Trivy," he said as he peered around another corner in his search for more stairs. "It can't be more than two flights of stairs." Looking down another hall, he saw that it turned a corner. He headed down, wanting to make sure it didn't lead to the elusive stairs. As he rounded the corner however, he smiled brightly as he saw the stairs... ((You two go ahead and teleport if you like.))
  3. @@Unicorncob, @@Pucksterv, Looking at the floor sign, and seeing that the flight of stairs they had taken to get as high up as they did went no further up, Cirrus cleared his throat before looking down the hall. "Maybe there is another flight of stairs that goes higher?" he suggested, waiting for his two friends to follow. "This school seems taller on the inside," he commented.
  4. Have you never had a cat or dog live indoors with you? Or perhaps have to share a bed with someone during a trip?
  5. @, @@Yoshi89, While her friends had been bemoaning their lack of new cutiemarks, Scootaloo had a brilliant idea for her own cutiemark. She had built up a small hill of snow before her using her hooves and wings as an impromptu shovel. When Sweetie Belle had asked what they would do at that moment, Scootaloo pulled back a hoof, snowball cupped on it, and shouted, "Cutie Mark Crusader Snowball Warriors!" With that, she launched the snowball towards Applebloom, laughing as she did so. ((Good to have you back, Blaze.))
  6. @@Unicorncob, @@Pucksterv, "I think we should get moving." Cirrus took off at a trot to start, but in a few paces he moves into a canter. He made out the form of the school as the last ring of the bell faded into the snows. Cirrus began muttering in some foreign language as he continued on, torn between making a break for it, and keeping the winds off his friends. When they reached the doors, he held them open for Tyra and Trivy.
  7. @@Pucksterv, @@Unicorncob, Cirrus blushed slightly when the question was posed to him, but he smiled through his answer. He pointed to his mark, a painting of a bird in a cage while behind it, another bird was flying out of its cage. "I am good at getting out of how you say, 'sticky situations'. I am good at flying the coop. I've helped others in that way too. My sister, Salmon Spring, and my two friends, Desert Bloom and Secret Bloom."
  8. @@Unicorncob, @@Pucksterv, "You're right, we should get going," agreed Cirrus. He too the front of the group, keeping his wings spread, dampening the wind around them as they made their way back to school. "I was never that good at lifting or high-speed flying, but I am good at making weather more tolerable. My sister was always appreciating that back when we were not in Equestria," Cirrus commented. He looked to Trivy. "What sorts of magic do you think you're best at?" he asked.
  9. @@Pucksterv, @@Unicorncob, "Hey!" Cirrus flew up to land beside Trivy, cutting through the inclement weather. "Hey, you aren't interested. That's alright. We can just be ignoring this and keep being friends." He raised a wing against the wind, seemingly creating a bubble of calm around which the wind and snow blew. "We'll drop it. But let us be going back to class together... friend?" He held out a hoof towards Trivy.
  10. @@Unicorncob, Cirrus sighed letting his head hung low and his ears splayed out. "I was like that too until about a year ago. So sure of my own plans, so certain of where I was going in life. The idea of getting help from others was... offensive. There's nothing for it but time, patience and caring." Cirrus hopped out of his seat and gathered what was left of their food and followed Tyra to catch up with Trivy.
  11. @@Pucksterv, @@Unicorncob, "I imagine that health class would be about how to take care of our bodies. Grooming, tooth care, preening for pegasi. Maybe horn filing for unicorns? Hoof care, making sure the coat is clean and healthy. I hope it's that stuff at least. I would be interested in that sort of thing." Cirrus held a hoof out. "But history is good class too! I do not know much about Equestria, but I would like to learn more about my new home." Cirrus looked to Trivy. "So, Trivy, you mentioned you are not having a home in Canterlot. Would you be okay if I spoke with my guardian about arranging something for you?"
  12. Oh, it wouldn't be a fix, but a stylistic choice. I think it'd be interesting to see you experiment with different ways of setting out the proportions of the body.
  13. Lovely style. Have you tried experimenting with different ways of doing the horn? This way the horn looks a little bulged out in the middle
  14. Allow me to simply leave this video in response.
  15. @@Pucksterv, @@Unicorncob, "I don't know how soon our break ends," started Cirrus, before he began to dig through his bags for the schedule. As he searched, he looked to Tyra and Trivy. "So where do you each live here in Canterlot?" he asked. He pulled out the schedule at last and scanned it. "Health education, followed by History and Other Cultures." Cirrus looked to his friends. "I think I am looking forward to both of these classes."
  16. @@Unicorncob,@@Pucksterv, Cirrus nodded. "Alright, we'll get some of those," he said to his friends. He pointed to the sweet rolls. "We'll have six please," he said. @@Denim&Venom, "Sraka. Vin povynen buty viddavalo." Cirrus hissed underneath his breath as the walking ego streak passed them by. @@Unicorncob, Cirrus put a hoof on Tyra's withers, shaking his head. "She's not worth it." With that he finished making his order, enough for the three of them to have a decent lunch, and took the order to a table by the window.
  17. @@Pucksterv,@@Unicorncob, Cirrus reached into his own bags to pull out several bits. "My... guardian. She made sure I had everything I would need for school," he said. He went up to the counter, first requesting what he wanted, then looked to Trivy and Tyra. "What do you two think looks good?" he asked. "My treat this time." As they made their orders, Cirrus looked to Trivy. "It's okay, it's in the past. I should learn to be more comfortable with it."
  18. @@Unicorncob,@@Pucksterv, "I..." Cirrus' head sagged with Trivy's question. He landed, his hooves crunching through the snow as he once more walked beside his two new friends. "I try to forget about that time. It was mostly just travelling with my sister Salmon Spring, trying to get to Equestria."
  19. @@Unicorncob,@@Pucksterv, Cirrus elected to continue flying, slowly back-winging in front of the two mares as they made their way to the bakery. "So Tyra, what sports did you play back in your homeland?" he asked. "And Trivy, I am curious as to what studying was like when you were younger. Before Canterlot, you know?"
  20. @@Pucksterv,@@Unicorncob, With things sufficiently escalated, the snowball fight stopped to Cirrus' satisfaction, and he flew over to Trivy. "Shall we continue on to the bakery?" he asked, before looking down the snow-laden street. "It should not be much further now, but we will be needing time to eat and get back to class."
  21. @@Unicorncob,@@Pucksterv, Tyra's snowball went wide, but even so, he ducked back to make the finishing touches while Trivy was having difficulties. His massive snowball was ready however, and he grasped it between his forehooves. While never a fast flyer, Cirrus had a penchant for lifting things with the magic of his tribe. Riding astride the snowball, he flew towards Tyra, hoping for a fair fight as Trivy was otherwise occupied. "Bombs away!" he yelled, releasing the ball and sending it on a collision course with Tyra.
  22. @@Akari of Duskshire, Ochre smiled, blushing slightly at how happy Stormcloud seemed, before noticing the smell of fish and blueberry porridge on her breath. He bowed his head, getting his nose out of the direct stream of air. "You're very welcome, Stormcloud. Shall we find a place to stay for the night?" he asked.
  23. @@Pucksterv,@@Unicorncob, Cirrus' memories were knocked out from their place of dominance in his mind by the wayward snowball. "Hey! Neutral territory here!" He took off flying to an alleyway for cover then began quickly tossing out a few snowballs to keep the fillies at bay. Every so often, he gathered some more snow into a ball roughly the size of his barrel, chuckling to himself as an idea formed in his mind.
  24. @@Unicorncob,@@Pucksterv, Cirrus led the way out of the campus ground and towards the bakery, the air was still quite crisp, the coldness of the world muting its sounds even with his sensitive hearing. Memories of his past made him shiver where the cold could not. He covered for it by commenting, "Canterlot's pegasi must have outdone themselves today with making this cold snap today, no?"
