MozillaToast

(OOC: Check with Jolt to see where and if you can jump in/intro yourself. By my understanding there's a group in Manehatten and a group in Canterlot.)

@Rainbow Eclipse, Tempest closes his eyes and listens to the music for a while. He accidentally falls asleep for a few seconds. He wakes up suddenly and looks about and puts a few more bits in the hat. He picks up and eats a chestnut. "Thanks Bailey." He smiled happily.

"I'll have to take my friend here when I get him down here from Canterlot" Tempest looked over to the kitchen door. "I'm looking forward to being 'surprised' by my meal." He said to Riley, while enjoying the music.

@Rainbow Eclipse, Tempest looks at the pianist and smiled, "Finally, something a little more festive for this holiday. Does he play regularly here?" Tempest knew the tune of the carol, but had forgotten the song name.

He sat there and tried to remember what it was called Tempest leant over to the hat and put some bits in as well.

"Hey Riley? What's that song called, I can't put my hoof on it's name..." And he was lost in his trail of thought again, he just sat there scratching his chin with his hoof slowly.

IRL people refer to me as either L, Jay or Toast.

You don't want to know why I'm called toast.

When someone adds you, then uses the fact they added you to add another person on your friends list and then they both remove you and stop talking to you.

Also when someone doesn't respond to a PM I sent a week ago when they've been on the whole time in between now and then.

My first name means; 

You have a clever, quick mind, with the ability to accomplish a great deal in a short period of time, although it is not easy for you to systematize your efforts. This name could allow expression along musical and artistic lines and gives you the desire to entertain and to meet and mix with people of refinement and culture. It also brings out your love of home and family, and in close association you are able to show understanding and affection. Others are attracted by your generosity and your consideration of their interests. First name is from Sweden

And also this apparently; 

Also, should you over-indulge in sweet, rich foods you could experience skin or liver problems.

My surname is British and has no meaning whatsoever.

@Rainbow Eclipse, "This place seem nice Riley. I didn't know there was a restaurant this close to where I lived. It looks nice and has a nice ambiance to it." Tempest looked about the restaurant, noticing that everyone was enjoying their meals, no one was disappointed or annoyed, it was nice to in a calm area even on a day such as this.

"I may just come back here in my spare time in the near future" Tempest said happily.

@Rainbow Eclipse, "Not a problem, I don't live too far from here, the prices in Canterlot are far too overpriced as well." Tempest smiles.

"Surprise me, I'm up for anything right now and everything here looks amazing." Tempest said with a happy and calm tone.

"What are you getting Riley?" Tempest asked.

Tempest looked at the waiter blankly for a moment, "Uh... Hi I'm Tempest Shift nice to meet you. Sorry about the commotion on the way in. I Promise It wont happen again"

He looks around to see if any damage has been done upon his 'landing' as spots a broken chair, "I'll pay for that" He apologises quickly.

@Rainbow Eclipse, Tempest leaps from his balcony and at the last seconds spreads his wings and flew parallel to the pavement, dodging ponies left right and centre. He finally ascends above the houses and looses sight of Riley. He spots the restaurant/bar and flies in at full speed, at this point Tempest remembers he needs to stop and flies strait into the brick wall of the place.

"Ow..." He whimpers before falling off the wall in a comical fashion. Tempest groans and gets up to see people staring at him. "Uh... No need to be focused on me... It was just an accident, wont happen again, go back to your meals everypony." He sighs in relief and looks around for Riley. "Riley? You here yet?" Tempest shouts out.

@Rainbow Eclipse, Tempest grinned, "Of course I'm up for a race... Just that I have no idea where to. I get unruly when it comes to competition" He looks over to Riley and thinks for a second. "To the restaurant?" He asks, flapping his wings and assuming the same position as Riley.

"I'm ready if you are!" Tempest declares.

@Rainbow Eclipse,"Uh... Sure, I woke up late and skipped a meal and I'm getting pretty hungry" He said happily. "Let me get some things together and I'll be ready."

Tempest wanders off into his bedroom and loud crashing and banging sounds can be heard from within the room.

A few minutes later he comes out with a pair of saddlebags on,"Ok, I'm good to go!"

Yes, if you use a marshmallow cannon and tinfoil wrap you will deteriorate their minds, causing them to explode into confetti kittens.

@Rainbow Eclipse, Tempest thought about the offer for a moment then came to the conclusion that staying here would be better than going there and having to pay a ridiculous rate for a hotel room, "Sure, that'd be great. I'll have to contact my friend and see if he'll stay over for this holiday."

"Could do with decorating my house a bit though first.." he said to no-one in particular. "Do you want something to eat or drink Riley? I don't mind how long you stay, you seem pretty nice" Tempest said realizing he'd not had someone over for a ling time.

I'd be a Jiriachi.

Rare, unique and not too flashy.

@Rainbow Eclipse, Tempest sits completely still for a few moments completely phased out. He blinks twice and looks back at Riley, "I was thinking of watching something funny, but came across the news channel by accident. For how long have department stores sold teleportation devices? That sounds like an ideal gift for my friend up in Canterlot." Tempest says.

Tempest pauses a moment. "I was actually thinking of going there to visit him, but we haven't spoken in months. I don't even know if he still lives there. What's your plans for the holiday?" He asks politely.

@Rainbow Eclipse, Tempest looks to his side. then looks back at the T.V. again, then looks back at the new arrival then blinked. "Um... Hi? How did you get in?" He pokes the other pony's leg. "So I've not gone braindead. You're actually here. Well I'm Tempest Shift, but who are you?"

(OOC: I don't mind where my OC spends the holiday but he's currently in Manehatten)

As Tempest got closer to the till he looked around and thought to himself, "This place is absolutely packed! This is going to take ages..."

When he was finally served, the till worker was in a funny mood. "Yeah? What? Hurry up, I got mouths to feed and this job isn't helping my mood..." He droned grumpily.

"Sorry for being a customer... Here" Tempest mumbled quietly.

"That's 40 bits, you gonna hurry up? Other people waitin' to be served." The till worker said rudely.
"What's with you? Here. Don't expect a tip after that ordeal" Tempest growled at the till worker, then paid and left.

He flew strait home put the decorations down in the hallway and lunged onto the sofa.

He yawned lazily and turned on his T.V. "...we have yet to find the beloved pet, meanwhi-" Tempest switched the channel, sick of the the news "Come to Canterlot this Hearth's Warming! It's sure to be great and fun filled, we have plenty of shops for all your gifting needs and plenty of places for you to rest! Lots of things to see and do, so come over to Canterlot for this Hearths Warming!"

Tempest scratched his chin, "Canterlot eh? I have a friend I could visit over there I suppose, not like I'm doing anything over here in Manehatten anyway." He decided that he'd make a decision on where he was staying, right after one more nap...

As Tempest looked around the store the croud began to thin out. He sighed in relief knowing he wouldn't have to battle to get a box of tinsel. After looking for a while he couldn't seem to find any lights and spotted a store clerk,

"Excuse me? Ma'am? Could you show me where the Christmas lights are, I can't see to find them." She simply points up to the top shelf labelled 'Lights and Decorations'.

"Ah thank you." He beamed as he got a box down, "The price is ridiculous but nevermind..." He ,mumbled to no-one particular. "Well... It'll make my house look much nicer." He hummed happily as he went to pay for the decorations and saw the queues.

"So this is where everyone vanished off to... Good thing I have nothing to do today." He got to the back of a queue and waited to be served while counting out hits bits.

Cheesecake. Maybe lasagne too, I don't think it'd be ideal to mix them though.

I liked RD's design more, my favourite part was the headdress.

Yes, this is exactly what I'm going through, after being disowned for being bi I'm really struggling to pay for my collage fees and may have to drop out. Not sure what I'm going to do if it comes to that...

Tempest yawned as he woke up in the middle of the day, looked up to the sky, "It's probably time to get up." He glanced towards his clock.

"Uh oh... Is that the time already? Wait- What have I got to do today..?" As he looked outside he could see colourful decorations being placed about the streets."Uh? Did I miss something?" He strained as he stretched forward to look closer fell out his bed.

"Well.. Now I'm awake" He walked over to the bathroom and cleaned up, then got ready to go out.

"So lets go see what all the fuss is about!" He said as he closed his door. It wasn't average to see this many ponies out in the cold. Then it hit him like a sack of rocks,

"Its Hearth's Warming! I've got to buy some decorations for my house in the rare case I'll get visitors. How did I forget?" He took off and then flew down to the local department store.

"What's happened now?" He thought to himself as he saw a police pony force their way through the crowd. He looked back again away from the commotion and realised just how many ponies were going to be shopping there.

"That queue to get in is huge..."

Could you link it here too please?
I can't seem to find it.

Hey, can I join with my OC Tempest Shift?

Well Altaria is a darn underrated dragon type.

very true, I actually think that I've seen very few of them, exclude Alteria from the all dragon list xD
