    @GeneralDirection "It's just for today, I assure you." Samurai reassures him. After making sure Silver has collected his stuff, Samurai and Silver step out. "Hmm... Let's see... You've seen bits of our culture, our more modern innovations, and you've got plenty of souvenirs. I wouldn't want to overload you on Day 1... And it'll probably get late soon... Is there anything you're curious about? We could always check and see if the status of your free citizenship has been approved." Samurai says.

    It's just good to see you again, @abrony-mouse. Your summary seems really good to me.

    @GeneralDirection Samurai looks at the ones he picked out. "You have a better eye for quality than you think. Those are dual purpose colored pencils. You can use them like regular ones, or you can whittle the lead down and add water or some alcohol to the shavings to create water color. The pigment should be stronger than most cheap versions. That's why the lead core is so much thicker than usual." Samurai explains, paying for the items as soon as the price comes up. Once again, first-day generosity. "You know, in Japone, something as simple as this is seen as a very special gift. School foals might show something like this off to their fellow classmates. It means their family wanted to have something nicer than the standard school supplies."

    @GeneralDirection Samurai was eyeing the ink sticks when he sees an acrylic paint that interests him. "Ah, this one is especially nice. The pigment was made from local..." Samurai stops when he realizes Silver isn't right next to him anymore. He's all ready in line to purchase what he wants. Samurai joins him again. "Find what you wanted?"
  5. Samurai Equine
    @GeneralDirection "He doesn't want anything. He only wants to destroy, and that's why I hope you don't have to encounter him." Samurai says. They soon arrive at an arts and crafts store. In this store, they having many different art supplies of all kinds. Stuff for beginners, intermediate, or expert artists. Common and exotic art supplies that Silver may have never seen before. But what's really interesting is the large variety of fancy carrying/display cases for the supplies. Seems having a fancy item you can show off is half of the experience.

    @GeneralDirection "Wars? No, that's more of an ancient era thing, before the era of Mistmane or the Pillars. Things are mostly peaceful, except... This part of Equestria does have an enemy I've been keeping at bay, but he always manages to come back. I hope you never have to face Snow Leopard while you're here. He's far too dangerous for any one creature to handle." Samurai explains.

    @GeneralDirection (Sorry for not replying sooner. Was too exhausted yesterday to log on.) The crowd erupts with cheer when Samurai wins. Many comment about how he's done it again, and how they can always rely on him to keep the peace. Samurai goes over to the mare that lost her purse and hoofs it over to her. "I believe this is yours." Samurai says. "Arigato gozaimasu, Samurai-sama." She says as she takes her purse back, smiling and bowing, acting just as star-struck as the others. Samurai just gives a happy wave, blushing a little. However, he is happy to see Silver joining him again. "Well, yes I am, actually. But first... Please excuse us, everypony! We have other business to attend to, but thank you for supporting me." Samurai first addresses Silver, then addresses the crowd, and finishes with a bow. They seem to be very understanding and allow the two friends to pass. Once the two of them have left, the crowd disperses. Once more, Samurai leads the way to the arts supply store. "Gomen nasai, my friend. It was a little noisy with everypony around like that. Indeed, I have encountered those two before. They're antics are nothing to be worried over. Some purse snatchers, a few rebellious teens causing mischief, and the occasional disgruntled office worker. That's about as bad as it gets around here. Well, most of the time, that is." Samurai explains.
  8. Samurai Equine
    Hope my latest reply wasn't too delayed. I wasn't here yesterday.
  9. Samurai Equine
    @Kujamih, @PawelS, @Skylight Scintillate Samurai is surprised to see that Shadow Dagger wants to join them. "Well, I was having trouble deciding what we should do next, but if Shadow votes going to the event itself, then I'll vote for that as well. I still think Celestia should be updated about what we've learned, but I can understand wanting to completely resolve this case on our own."

    Happy Birthday, my gwumpy friend! :mlp_yeehaa: :blue_baloon::balloon: I hope your special day is full of happiness!

     Hello there, my crowd! Welcome to my Weekly Musings: Orange Edition. :mlp_icwudt:

    [I ❤ JAPAN] -- [I ❤ THE COLOR RED] -- [I ❤ CELESTIA]

    Police STOP - Emoticon Point Right Feel free to leave a video request. Your video will eventually be featured in a future Weekly Musings entry! Point Left STOP - Emoticon Police

    Um... Why is this late? Because cheese bread. 236619.gif Let's go over the previous week.

    sun.png.8ab21d7000bfb88f283da8c5e2f104cc.png I've been lightly renovating my bathroom. It was a long time coming, but I got it done. :scoots: But it was a lot of work, and it made me not want to do much after I was finished.

    twi.png.f9a8f7839a12a89136cd0641ade8efb0.png I forget if I mentioned, but I gave my uncle the music controller back. :bea: I am happy he is getting his money back, at least. I was unable to make any use of it because I couldn't find any software that would work correctly on my PC. I am sure I could have, but I would have needed more time. Maybe a vacation to figure it out. Maybe some day; in the future. I am most happy that both of my uncles are healthy and cleared of any COVID. That's the real good news. :proud:

    sun.png.8ab21d7000bfb88f283da8c5e2f104cc.png Recently, a lot of trailers have dropped! Mostly teasers. Nickelodeon is getting a new CGI animated Transformers cartoon. How is that Transformers just can't find a single TV channel to stay on? They're all over the place! I feel like DC and Marvel both released two trailers back to back on purpose. Shazam and Black Adam look good, but I hope both have an after-credits scene where they get ready to meet each other. She-Hulk may just be a series, but the trailer has me WAY more excited than the first. But that Wakanda Forever teaser? They know what they are doing. They are going to string us along for as long as possible.

    twi.png.f9a8f7839a12a89136cd0641ade8efb0.png At least we finally have a drop date for the next MLP MYM episode. But I gotta say, my crowd... I am beginning to lose hope. >_> It shouldn't take this long for someone to decide if this series is good or not. I heard a summary for the next episode, and it doesn't inspire hope, but I really want the episode to surprise me. If it doesn't make good on the cliffhanger from the last episode, I may decide to step away from G5 for the foreseeable future. At least until the fandom starts collectively telling me that the show just got way better. Hope that doesn't make me less of a brony.

    sun.png.8ab21d7000bfb88f283da8c5e2f104cc.png MOVIE TIME! icon?1379626399 This time, I saw MAZINGER Z INFINITY. This time, I offer a unique perspective. I have never seen the original TV series, despite it being an all-time classic. However, this movie managed to do what it should. I am now inspired to see what I missed. I know SOME casual and random facts about the franchise, but not everything. I know that Mazinger Z had different dubs (hello Tranzor Z), and seeing it uncut was a rare thing back in the day. There was a scene where people around the world were tuning in to see Mazinger's final fight, and thus making it oddly meta how a lot of people around the world actually missed the original TV show. Still, everything else was deserving of a cheff's kiss. Ichiro Mizuki came back to sing the iconic theme song, perhaps one last time. Kouji Kikkawa, an artist I deeply respect, sings the ED theme. Mazinger's final victory is awe-inspiring. And to top it all off, the star characters have come such a long way, finally get the happy ending they deserve. Even the dub is brilliant. It's wonderfully acted, uncut with original names for everything throughout, and even Mike Pollock dubs the villain. Trust me, any project he is in becomes an instant win. I saw this movie on a complete whim, but now I want to see the original series in all its glory. ROCKET PUNCH!

    twi.png.f9a8f7839a12a89136cd0641ade8efb0.png MLP TYT 19: Helping Hitched. :mlp_wat: Let me remind everyone that I don't approach anything with negativity. There were SOME good things in this episode. We got to see Hitch with a hat, so now you actually have a reason to get that toy of Hitch. He also got a song, so that was cool. And in terms of premise and execution, there is nothing wrong with this story. However, the entire plot of the story was teaching animals to be friends, and hearing them talk just doesn't help. What you get is an episode that feels like it was made for a preschool show, not for G5. The previous generation could pull an episode like this off without making the audience feel like they are being talked down to. With my hope in G5 waning, now is not the time to be putting out episodes like this. ...But hey, only 2 bad episodes out of 19. That's something.

    sun.png.8ab21d7000bfb88f283da8c5e2f104cc.png DonBrothers 20: A Tiger's Wild. osnb5Gt.png And now we finally have the premiere of something we've been waiting on for a long time, Torabolt! It seems this is the personification of Jirou's frustrations, so instead of become Dragoku, he becomes this instead. How fitting that the MOTW is based on DaiRanger, and the host was a martial artist as well. I want to know how this will play out, but also, I am glad his (ex) girlfriend didn't come around to see this. I'd rather his hometown friends see a successful hero than a dangerous traitor. Also, Inu Brother not being able to handle the work out makes no sense at all.

    twi.png.f9a8f7839a12a89136cd0641ade8efb0.png ReVice 44: The Demons We Make.  nynjRij.png Talk about an emotional gut-punch of an episode. It all ready started off with a traumatizing separation of Vice and Ikki/Revi, but the finale is where it's at. Daiji finally faces his mistakes and manages to bring Kagero back when he needed him most, and Evilty Live is like the perfect union between Daiji and his demon. Did you know that it is said that the ruler of the h-e-double hockey-sticks was actually a fallen angel? Wonder if they were going for a similar angle here. In the background, it seems George may have missed his chance to say goodbye to his father. This episode hits harder for personal reason to me. Just know, this episode really brought the tears.

    That's all for now, my crowd. B) Take care, and live more.

    And this is why I like Japanese dubs. Sonic 2 was all ready a great movie, but this makes it even better. Sonic says "Oh my god", and that overused Bruno Mars song is replaced with a WAY more fitting remix of Green Hill. Seriously, why can I find that remix? This a trailer for the Japanese Dub of Sonic 2.

      Here's a cheesy fact for you :>

       The history of cheese fondue ("Käsefondue") is centuries old and began as a  way to use aged cheeses and bread.

      Sorry for the late replies. :muffins: I kept forgetting.

      @Rising Dusk

      I suppose so. There were productive moments, but fun moments too. :coco:

      @Astral Soul

      I love cheese! :kirin: Thanks for that fact, my cosmic friend.

    @GeneralDirection Meanwhile in a different part of the city, a random mare cries out. "Stop him! Theif!! He stole my purse!" The mare says as a pony and cat, wearing burlap masks, run off through the streets. These two thieves have the stolen purse, snickering to themselves as they run. But their moment of celebration is cut short when they bump into someone blocking their path. "Hey!! Watch-- Oh no..." Before they can make any big threats, they see who was in their way. It wasn't a random citizen; it was Samurai Equine, purposefully blocking them off. And he looks mighty stern right now. "Samurai Equine?! You're here all ready?!" One of the thieves says. "I think you both know how this ends. Return the purse." Samurai cuts straight to the point. A random citizen points out that it's Samurai, and a crowd begins to circle around and chatter about this. Thankfully, it's a wide circle. However, the thieves don't back down, despite backing up a few steps. Instead, one of them draws a knife! "N-not so fast, Samurai! This time, we have a blade, and you don't even have your sword!" The armed thief says. To which, Samurai gives a sly smirk. "And do you even know how to use it?" The question momentarily leaves them stunned before the armed thief readies his blade and charges forward with a mighty meow. But just as he gets super close, Samurai slides to the side, grabs the cat's paw/wrist, and twists it as he turns his back to the 2nd thief. Mewing in pain, the thief drops the knife. The other thief neighs and tries to attack Samurai from behind, but Samurai was more than ready for this too. Taking a moment to trip the cat, whose wrist he is still holding, Samurai spins around and throws the cat thief right into his partner. BOOM! One-hoofed body slam; two thieves down for the price of one. The crowd may have backed up a little, but they are wowed! As the two thieves get back up slowly, Samurai has been gathering his magic. "One Thousand Years of Suffering!" Samurai grabs both of their tails, and lights the tips on fire! The thieves naturally panic and shuffle all around to put out the flames. They were small flames, easily extinguished. They were never in any danger, but it served a purpose. It makes them panic enough that they drop the purse to put out the fire. During that moment of distraction, Samurai picks up the purse. "Hey thieves! Forget something?" Samurai ask, holding the purse. Seeing how things have changed, they angrily do the one thing they can think of. "TIL WE MEET AGAIN, SAMURAI!!", "YOU'LL NEVER TAKE US ALIVE!!" They say as they run away, roughly breaking past the crowd to make their getaway. Samurai just sighs and lets them get a short distance away, concentrating. "...Magic Horn EXTEND!!!" Summoning his magic once more, Samurai tilts his head down. With a rapid double snap, Samurai magically extends his horn, and pokes each of the thieves in their posteriors! From a distance, you can hear them cry out in cartoonish pain as they fall flat on their faces. And that was all Samurai had to do. The altercation lasted long enough for a police pony to arrive on the scene, blowing his whistle and running up to the thieves. "Wow. After 7 failures, they actually tried something. That knife was a real first." Samurai says with a smile, collecting the knife they dropped.
  13. Samurai Equine
    @GeneralDirection Samurai smiles. "Just consider it a first time generosity. The first time you are here, I'll give you the all-expenses-paid tour. But the next time you come over, you're responsible for yourself." Samurai explains. They exit the jewelry store together. "Arts? Of course, I know just the--" Samurai is cut short when he hears a scream. Like a switch, he instantly becomes serious. "Chotto matte." Samurai says before running off towards the source of the scream.
  14. Samurai Equine
    @Kujamih, @Skylight Scintillate, @PawelS Samurai pats Dr. Clue on the shoulder and gives her a nod before following Kuya outside. "Distracting us? Not sure. I feel like Clue-hakasei is the only one who can pry for more information. I just think we should tell Celestia about all this. She deserves to know."
  15. Samurai Equine
    ...Oh, is it my turn? I was waiting on everyone else. But I can go again, if it helps.
  16. Samurai Equine
    @GeneralDirection Just as the salespony in charge is starting to say a very specific amount, Samurai is putting the money down. "My treat this time." Samurai explains. When the salespony takes the money, Samurai leans in to whisper to Silver. "In our society, we prefer to pay in exact amounts. We try not to pay over, and we try not to ask for change, if it can be avoided. Since your society doesn't rely on money as much as ours, I thought I'd explain so that you'll be prepared next time." Samurai says. When the salespony comes back, the bracelet is now in a box. Very nice presentation. He gives it Silver.
  17. Samurai Equine
    @GeneralDirection Samurai just shrugs. "That's as good as I can explain it. There's much we still don't know about magical gemstones. They come in many shapes, sizes, and colors. And each one can have its own unique magical effect. Not even I know much about them since, if I find any, it's my job to report them to higher authorities." Samurai says.

    Hi there, my crowd. How goes it? :Daydreaming:

    So, new TYT episode... :yeahno: That was bad. I feel as if the writers just treated us like preschoolers. But that's only 2 bad episodes out of 19. It's still relatively good. Right?

    I recently watched an anime movie called Mazinger Z Infinity. This movie was just PERFECT! I never expected it to go so hard, but it did, I loved every second of it. Also, It seems the next Kamen Rider, Geats, has been revealed! The name and logo had me conflicted, but now that I have seen the image, I am over the moon! This looks AWESOME! He looks like a kabuki fox of some kind, but also so threatening and edgy. I've been hearing that they got a really good director for this series, and that there might be a battle royale aspect to the show? But man, with a gun like that, he just looks so lethal. There was a time when the main Rider would never look this lethal. I wonder if anyone agrees with me? Also, I hope my eyes don't deceive me, because I REALLY want that to be a scarf!!

      I guess so, and this side series is suppose to be a comedy. I just hope the main series is better. They've really set themselves up for big things, so the less episodes like this, the better. >_>

    @GeneralDirection "No need to think to deep about it. There are gemstones that can enhance or grant magic to the user. Raw magic material like that has often been used to make magic items and weapons, some of which are taboo as they have either corrupted the user or could only be used for nefarious means. That's why it's illegal for a standard business like this to make jewelry out of magic gems. But soldiers like me get special exceptions." Samurai explains.
  20. Samurai Equine
    @GeneralDirection "Hai. We can easily do that, as long as they are natural, inert gems only. We don't make jewelry out of magic or magic-enhancing gem stones." The pony working behind the main display answers his question. Samurai walks up to Silver. "If you want jewelry with magic gem stones, let me know. I know a blacksmith that can make that happen." He tells him.
  21. Samurai Equine
    @GeneralDirection Samurai looks over at his friend. "A ring like this is what you might give your special somepony. Especially if you were getting married. Maybe some day, if I am lucky... Of course, she'd have to be a pegasus at least." Samurai tells him, whispering that last part. "But don't mind me. Feel free to pick anything. If you have a question, the staff can help you out." Samurai says. Samurai moves away from the rings. It's obvious by his demeanor that he is just casually browsing, not really looking for anything in particular. He might stop at the clufflinks, the earrings, or the badges/pins. There is an advertisement about making custom jewelry. A hanafuda-themed bracelet catches Samurai's eye for a moment before he moves on again. Hopefully Silver can find something that matches what he is looking for.

    @GeneralDirection "Of course. I can help you get supplies, but if you wanted an art piece, I could have made a ukiyo-e painting for at my house." Samurai says. He leads the way out of the gaming center and to a local jewelry store. While there are plenty of jewelry pieces that you've seen just about everywhere, there are some pieces that reflect Japonies culture in a way that is classy and not over-the-top or gaudy. There is even a geisha pony who is buying fancy ornaments for her mane, which is done up in a traditional bun style. Samurai looks at a silver ring that has caught his attention. It has an engraved sakura pattern on it, filled with a reddish pink to make the pattern stand out. The ring in question is made for unicorn horns.
