Lektra Bolt

I understand! I'm waiting for this actually, as I have been wanting to make a couple of non MLP humans as well. Also excited for EqE reopening! Oh no..... Please Jeric don't work yourself to death. We all love you and would hate for anything to happen to you Hmm sheet changes though. Interesting

That hurts Denim, oof You were probably trying to get around NYC the way people get around other smaller cities, with cars. There is a lot of traffic on the roads even outside of Manhattan. Don't do this. Drop your car off somewhere as soon as you get into the city, and use public transportation. Basically anywhere you want to go is within walking distance of train/subway or a bus. Once you figure this out its fairly easy to get around Once you get out of Manhattan, prices are way better and the crowds lessen, though traffic mostly doesn't and public transportation is still better. Manhattan is what people tend to see first and measure the whole city on, but NYC is actually multiple boroughs with their own separate infrastructures like separate cities. In fact people are encouraged to put their separate borough in their mailing address, not New York, New York, as that's Manhattan. Please give NYC another chance? Okay so I don't really have a best city, but it would probably have to be Hershey or that place with the college in Connecticut which name I forgot. The areas I visited were gorgeous Worst city was probably Long Branch in New Jersey, or was it Long Beach? Anyway I could not get around without a car and had to be ferried back and forth from the hotel to the station to get back to public transportation. But this is a fairly common problem for anyone who doesn't have a car, relying on public transportation, and the city was otherwise wonderful

Ouch I'm sorry that's happening to your character. It must be painful...... And yeah I see that, it's just been added recently as we were discussing it. There's an Other for Generation now 🎉

You're the stress test? Lol you have 30 characters, but they're fairly short in comparison. A lot of my main's information was literally deleted in the forum upgrade due to Other being deleted for everyone, and I recreated and upgraded all the information as it should have been within 24 hours of the new database going up. If I can do it, then I'm sure you can do it too (though there's no way to tell if any of your characters originally had an Other field that dwarfed the rest of the profile like mine, since it was deleted for everyone) Actually, as of this writing it's not really possible to put up something unrelated to MLP The Reality field is not optional, and you absolutely have to choose a pony generation. I brought this up when the feature was added. It's great, but means no non MLP characters are possible

"She is no longer Cadence. She is King Sombra. You would stand by Sombra. I am sorry. I tried getting you to leave." these were the last words I spoke as the grizzled stallion guard commander Well I tried. Sombra can have him. I headed into the shadows and just disappeared.........no guard commander, no Chrysalis, nothing. Just gone. I had no choice but to leave him alone in the hall. There was no reasoning with him My mist headed into the guard break room and up the ceiling. I grabbed the cocoon of the real guard commander and vanished in a pop and a crackle, moving back outside to watch what would happen next. I sat on the same statue, picking up the popcorn from earlier I casted an illusion on the cocoon so it looked like it wasn't there while maintaining control on the guards to stay north and the citizens to stay away

Persistent isn't he? "Flurry Heart is safe, your wife on the other hoof.......isn't. If you stay here you will be captured or even killed, of that I am certain. Leave, and never return. We will hold him off. If you stay, she will get you. King Sombra has taken her over. She is not herself anymore. I saw it happen with my own eyes as I was coming to get you." I paced around the hall. I shouldn't have woken him up. He's just gonna get captured again. Why did I even bother?

That's new, him taking her over like that Can we even do that? I'm actually not sure. We could try sometime, but I never felt the need to Good point. So what do you want to do? I want to see if we could save Shining. If he gets captured or otherwise, I ain't responsible. Your funeral. All he will see is the guard commander, and if Sombra wants him..... ......he will see the guard commander betraying him? Exactly, either way it works out for us Genius I disappeared from the street with a pop and a crackle as the popcorn box was left behind, appearing in the hall next to where Shining was defeated and pinned to a wall. Let's not have him see what I am I headed around the corner and broke the crystals with my shadows in the form of drills to get him down, then threw a small pebble of crystal at his face to wake him up. I spoke using the old bearded stallions voice. "Your Highness you must get away. It isn't safe here." @Emerald<3

@Emerald<3 @Califorum I sat on a statue overlooking their exchange, still disguised as the guard commander and eating popcorn from the popcorn stand. My vision glowed green as I maintained control on the guards to stay north and citizens to stay away from the area of the attack I was to the side of them, and if they turned they could see me It's almost tragic. Yes, almost. No one gets hurt. Well, maybe Cadence and Shining. I wasn't really a fan of them for obvious reasons, and I feel like Shining basically betrayed me. We were pretty happy when I was disguised as her, for a while I remember that. I saw him as a means to an end, but he really does love her He does, and she's a good mother. Interesting that Sombra doesn't want to hurt them. What do you think he will do? I have no idea. I'm as intrigued and interested as you are. I continued to munch popcorn while maintaining my hold on the guards and citizens. They would stay away, far away

It was happening again. The same bucken way. As I got up on the podium, I couldn't remember my speech. I heard snickering from the audience of ponies and creatures in cosplay Mayor Mare spoke into an audio amplifier. "As we celebrate Princess Twilight's life, we welcome her biggest fan and author of 'The Life and Love of Twilight Sparkle ft. The Elements of Harmony' Lektra Bolt!" Mayor Mare clapped for me, but no pony else did. Complete silence, or rather it looked that way I could hear whispers..........

@Dynamo Pad @Emerald<3 @Sherem How many times had I experienced this? I'd lost track. I couldn't control myself no matter how hard I tried. I moved into the Ponyville Twilight Sparkle Convention slowly with my sister at my side, seeing all the residents in cosplay and enjoying themselves. The music skipped a beat as I entered, also dressed as Twilight I was trapped in the progression of the dream, not realizing that anyone but my sister and Sparky were with me For a moment I was able to crane my neck back, catch eyes with Dynamo, and mouth some words. 'Help me.' Then the dream took over and I was trapped once again

The guards were hustling now. Disguising myself as the guard commander and telling them it was OK to go back to patrol wasn't working. They questioned the commander's sanity. I grit my teeth as I sighed My eyes glowed green as I exerted my control over all the guards, forcing them to move to the north of the city and staying there. The subliminal command would stay in place for a good while, long enough to accomplish what we wanted to do without casualties I also mind controlled nearby citizens to flee, grabbing some popcorn off a cart on the street The streets were empty of ponies. The 'guard commander' sat down on a nearby griffin statue, enjoying the popcorn. I was the only one there, the streets were otherwise bare

Cheese. Lots if cheese. Cheese everywhere!

I snuck off from patrol while no one was looking, back to the castle. Ducking behind a bush I dissolved into mist again When I got back to the castle I wasn't shocked at all that Sombra hadn't followed the plan exactly. He had one job: Get to the throne room and do whatever he wanted to to take over, but no he puts crystals in the windows so the citizens would notice it. Guess it was up to me to fix it and make sure it was still subtle and not noticed. Growling and upset, I changed back into the guard commander while using my magic to smash the crystals. That took a bit of trying, as I didn't realize exactly how tough they were. Need to keep the castle looking normal "Sombra you had one job, just take over the castle while keeping it looking normal." I whispered to myself. As I dissolved to mist again to find him, the atmosphere turned sinister. At least he was doing that correctly

As we landed I turned to mist as Sombra did, but mine was almost invisible. I snuck right past the guards and into the castle, still making sure to move across the walls and ceiling. The could see me if they looked hard enough When I got into the guard break room I saw the target: an older grizzled guard stallion of medium build and with a beard. I reached out a tendril of magic and grabbed him from the ceiling. There was a gasp and a small scuffle as I cocooned him and stuck him up there for later pickup. He never saw what happened, and would stay sedated As another guard headed into the break room I had just dropped down transformed like nothing was wrong. "At ease soldier, rest your haunches." the other nodded and headed off. I went to give the order for everyone to patrol another part of the city, leaving the path to the castle throne room empty of guards. Sombra had a clear entryway I just hoped he would follow the plan.......

@Califorum I nodded. "Whatever gets us there sooner. I can't teleport that far away, especially since I haven't actually figured out where we are in relation to the Crystal Empire." I considered turning into a random guard, but found it unnecessary. Turning to Cosmodian I made a simple request. "Just place us somewhere out of the way. I'll mist inside, cocoon the Commander before he has a chance to respond, replace him, and order the guards to move." I turned to Sombra. "Once you see them moving away do your thing. I'll join you in the throne room after I've had my fill."

I am not sure if you are aware of this but I am interested in the job you have posted on Craigslist and would like to know more about the position you have available for me to HOV your company and I am very interested in this position and would like to know more about the position you have available for me to HOV your company (it repeats, why is this about a job?)

@Dynamo Pad @Emerald<3 What is this? Why am I here? Do I care? I'm in paradise I've entered the Twilight Zone The Twilight Sparkle Convention has come to Ponyville, and as the President of her Fan Club I've been invited to give a speech. Everywhere I look are ponies and creatures in cosplay as the princess. I look down at myself and I'm in cosplay too. When did this happen? Cakes, streamers, Twilight is Best Pony banners. The town has been basically colored lavender for the occasion. Souvenirs and toys all bearing her face, her Mark, or even her head Replica of all the artifacts that were used to save the world are being sold as toys. Statues of her are everywhere. Ponies and creatures are celebrating, singing songs, and praising. There are panels on her life, her friends, and her achievements I enter the town proper with my sister and the music skips a beat for a moment. Did that happen? Hmmm As I'm heading over to give my speech, I hear indistinct whispering. Someone is snickering. What's going on? Mayor Mare welcomes me to the podium with a leer. Something is seriously wrong. I start to feel self conscious and anxious. My sister has disappeared As I get up on the podium, I suddenly realized I couldn't remember my speech. I'd practiced it for hours right? What's going on? "You failed her." very faint, someone said this "You weren't there." louder this time "A business trip? How dare you......." I can hear it now "Love her? You don't even respect her." someone actually yells this A fluttering of wings as a lavender Alicorn lands in front of me. Somehow I know this is not a cosplay. I can see right through her. Do ghosts make fluttering sounds? Can the others see her? "You have failed me. You don't deserve to be here." Twi says this in a low voice, completely unlike her "Boo! You heard the Princess! Run her out of town!" a stallion voice yells this as all the towns ponies and creatures suddenly all turn their faces at me and repeat to run me out of town. They can see and hear the ghost The fun atmosphere has turned into a twisted landscape of everything being ruined, mangled, and cut up. What's going on? Who's doing this? This was too good to be true. Too perfect. I try to fly away, but Sparky malfunctions. He's turned into Spike who breathes fire at me and burns my tail. "Whats going on......" I whimper and try to fight back, but these are all ponies I know, not acting like themselves Everywhere I go, the crowd in costume follows me, trying to run me out of town or even kill me, tossing random garbage and rotten tomatoes at me. The real ghost of Twilight is at the lead. My magic doesn't work, someone is using a piece of the throne of Chrysalis to negate it "Nnngh. N-N-n-no! Twilight! I didn't know! I didn't know ok?! Please forgive me! I wasn't there!" I whimpered as I reached out in my sleep to cuddle my statue but couldn't get out of the dream, didn't realize it's not real, couldn't wake up........ @Califorum I had reformed from the three clones, nodding as Cosmodian spoke. "My student and I shall not fail. This time it will be different. No direct attacks, no armies. This time we shall use my plan. Deception." And most importantly, no one would be hurt. It would not be permanent anyway. Probably. Either way I needed to have some fun We returned to the main room as I prepared to lay out the plan. I turned to Sombra, laying out my plan as I projected a map with my magic, showing some finer points with my right fore hoof "I will first turn into mist to infiltrate the guards and find out their patterns. I will temporarily replace the commander while Shining Armor isn't looking. I will then order them to divert from their routes, creating an opening." I cackled as I showed the guards leaving their posts and moving to another part of the Empire "You will also turn into mist, hide in the shadows, and sneak across the streets. Make sure no one sees you even in your mist form. Once you get into the throne room through the empty halls, you will take over." I showed the path on the map for Sombra Are you sure you can do this? Easily. What, jealous that I'm a better you than you? Better at being you than you? I just never thought you had it in you. I'm willing to admit you're not as weak and pathetic as I originally thought you were. I'm still you, a better you. I'm just having some fun and although I know my plan will work, I don't believe Sombra will be in power forever. This also removes him as a threat for the foreseeable future. Go on He wants the Crystal Empire. He won't stop trying. If he conquers it and the sisters negotiate well, there will still be peace You know he will enslave the crystal ponies? Better than being dead, and he will eventually be defeated. I just feel bad I won't be teaching him much, but it's nice to actually have his respect. I could teach him much more if I had more time, but he's too focused And if he won't be defeated? Then I will have yet another scar on my conscience. Either way I'll have some fun watching and helping, and the bad guys will still be in my corner. Maybe they'll learn friendship and become friends, but I'm not counting on it Well I can't believe I'm saying this, but I actually approve of the plan. It's elegant and achieves the goal. I would have wanted more bloodshed and less friendship, but I'll take it My mouth moved into a wide evil grin, playing my part. "Before we head out, I will need to go eat. I need to find something or someone to cocoon and bring back, as well. Make your own preparations and meet me on roof of the temple in an hour. We fly out then." "Any questions?" I looked around at Cosmodian and Sombra, wondering what Cosmodian planned to do while we were gone

Well well, hello! How am I just discovering this now? I'm interested in helping out if you need help or are looking for help, but I have no money to offer unfortunately I specialize in writing (I'm a RPer), so I can offer to help with story maybe, if you'd have me?

These would like totally get stolen and disassembled where I live

Come to think about it, I haven't seen the 🤷🏻‍♀️ (shrug) reaction in a while

Characters actually listed on the profile as a box thing? Now there's a thought. I'd say users should be able to turn this off though if it's implemented 🤔 Not everyone RPs. Many don't
