Eternal Night

@@Firehearted, I nodded and gathered up the rest of the stuff that was still lying around. An awkward silence hung in the air and while I tried my best to say something, anything, I just couldn't bring myself to. My original judgements about Atlas on the boat were right though, there was something incredibly wrong with him. Judging by what he's told me about his past it had to be serious, probably some sort of trauma he faced during the wars he fought. Until he opened up to me I wouldn't be able help him anyway, forcing him to talk about it would only make it worse. Help him... Ha! I am definitely getting soft. I wonder what the family would think if I told them about me wanting to actually help another pony out. Still I couldn't help but worry about the guy, he is obviously distressed. Though there isn't much I could do, I'm not a trained professional. I sighed a little in frustration, and finished gathering up my stuff. Once I got everything back together again I looked back towards Atlas. "So where to next?"

Quick question, are we allowed visitors at this prison?

@@Pripyat Pony, @@Firehearted, "I gathered that," I said again using another whisper spell. "But given my circumstance you can understand why I'm skeptical. Its almost like telling a blind pony you'd give them the ability to see. Besides as long as I'm in here I don't see the use of it save curiosity. Not like I can really use magic in here, especially the spells I know." I finished the food on my tray and looked back towards Atlas after he finished chugging all that coffee. I'm surprised his tounge hasn't burnt off, that coffee looked scalding. I shook my head a little and took a sip of my own coffee, and forced it down with a disgusted expression. I always hated this bitter sludge but the caffeine helped with the migraines so I always tried to force a cup down in the morning. "Anyway," I asked trying to change the subject a little. "What did you all have planned for today?"

I was once the proud owner of a working Magnavox Oddessy but I got an offer on it I couldn't refuse (college is expensive) so I sold it so I could pay for books. So now the oldest system I own now is an N64.

Nah you're doing fine bro, you just can't be too overly suspicious. I mean its your characters job to be suspicious but you ain't gotta hound us. You just need to find a balance is all, its no fun if we gotta play mind games just to have a more normal conversation.

(Sorry I forgot to post here.... My bad) @@Firehearted, The sun peaked through the branches of the random bush Atlas and I took shelter under after that terrifying raven attack. My head throbbed and my body ache, I must have over done it with the magic I think... I really couldn't remember last night was a blur to me. I rubbed my head a little and moved out of the bush when I noticed Atlas wasn't there. There was just this eerie, and the soft sounds of sobbing in the distance. "Atlas?" I called out as I cautiously approached the cries. For all I knew it could been another crazy monster trying to murder us. Though sure enough there he was sitting on the forest floor, sobbing in probably one of the most pathetic states I'd ever seen a pony. If this were the streets of Manehatten I would have just left him be, but seeing how he's my only ticket off this rock I needed him. I called out his name a few times only for him ignore it, he seemed so upset he didn't realize I was there. He was completely broken, he looks as though he'd been crying there all night. I couldn't tell if I was going soft or if I truly gave a damn about this random Pegasus I had just met but I mustered as much magic as I could. With a simple spell, I filled the air with a soothing tranquil atmosphere. The magical energy mellowed me out and undoubtfully Atlas as the spells calming properties began to, well, work their magic. (Yea I know that was a terrible joke... Sue me.) "What's wrong, Atlas?" I asked in a mellow, relaxed tone, while awkardly patting his back.

Because there hasn't been a reasonable opportunity for us to meet any of the other prisoners. That's what I was getting at with my post, I mean me linking up with Atlas was easy since we were already friends but for everyone else it doesn't really make sense to go up and talk to them.

I'd have to disagree we aren't really riding each others coat tails, all we did was spark friendly conversation. Atlas and Cosmo don't know what's going on between Snow and Jinx, we are just trying to survive in prison as far as I can tell. The only reason I can reason him or well anyone else eavesdropping is because everyone else probably feels a little left out, which is understandable. We need something to force us all together cause all this eavesdropping is getting rather old. I mean the plot is too focused on Snow, Jinx, Atlas and I and it's not fair to the other guys trying to rp.

@@Pripyat Pony, "Ha, if I had a bit for everytime I heard that..." I said with a smirk. I casted up a whisper while Atlas was too busy enjoying his coffee, and directed it so that only Jay could hear it. "Listen, Atlas knows first hand just how messed up my magic is its a miracle I can even do this. I don't doubt Jinx's magical abilities but do you really think she could fix something like this? Enveration isn't really all that simple you know, and after yesterday I'm not looking to try anything for awhile. I'll keep that offer in mind however." I returned back to my breakfast after casting the spell and shovled a few mouths full, I was still voraciously hungry. I honestly didn't doubt the power Jinx had, however I didn't think she was willing to help me out of the kindness of her heart. She must need me for something if she's offering to help me like that. I guess that'll all become clearer as time goes on. Worrying about it won't solve anything, judging by our sentences I have all the time in the world to figure out a possible motive. After all, its not like I'm leaving here anytime soon.

@@Firehearted,@@Pripyat Pony, I shook my head a little and shoved a bit more food in my face, which admittedly wasn't nearly as horrible as usual. Then again anything tastes good when you're as starved as I was. I tried to ignore Atlas' other half or deamon thingy as she voraciously downed the cup of coffee in front of her... him?? This was still utterly confusing to me but I figure lingering on that wouldn't really help things. "So how are you doing today?" I say looking up from my tray. "I'm sorry about yesterday, my magic doesn't really work right and I need to take medicine so it doesn't get out of control."

I know the feeling Tom I often post from my phone since I'm either busy with schoolwork or I'm getting bombarded with steam messages from my friends or jabber pings from my eve buddies which makes it hard to write a coherent post. I often times have to reread my posts on my phone since I type so fast and often times skip words or misspell something stupidly. Its why I always have edits in case anyone was curious (like I just did right now in fact). I also just find it easier to concentrate on my phone vs. using my computer. I actually have the mention code made for everyone on a note saved on my phone so I can copy and paste it since mentioning doesn't work normally for me for.

Saving Private Ryan, Band of Brothers and definitely Schlinder's list are my favorites. I could honestly watch any of them at anytime and still enjoy them.

@@Firehearted, @@Pripyat Pony, "Oh hey Atlas," I said nodding to him in acknowledgement, at least I think it's Atlas this time. "Sorry about yesterday... but well you know how it goes with me sometimes." I shrug my shoulders a bit. "I'm not up to much (not that there's much to do) but I'm starving that's for sure. Wanna meet up with Jay and head to the mess?" Atlas seemed to be full of life today made me wonder if somethings up. Then again he's a strange fellow so it could be a number of things I suppose. I made small talk with him as we made our way down to where I find Jay already sitting by herself. I get my food and sit down next to her. "Good morning." I said with a smile

I woke up exhausted and drained after an almost sleepless night. My head still hurt and my body ached, but other than that I was perfectly okay. It was an odd attack normally I just get a migraine. However magic was entirely unpredictable at times so these things can happen. Its very draining to say the least, the nursing staff seems to have stepped their game up since the incident so that's a plus I suppose. Though I'm still disappointed that it took something like this for them to tweak my med schedule... I sat up in my cot and rubbed my head a little while I waited for the guards to let me out of my cell. Hopefully the food will be better this morning than last. I was starving since I ended up skipping both lunch and dinner yesterday. I wondered what Atlas was up to since I last saw him yesterday, I wondered if he learned anything else about that odd pony Jay or Jinx or whatever her name was. I'm still kinda confused about the whole thing (that thing inside Atlas was also a mystery) but I suppose I'll learn more about that later. She seems nice enough, well one of her personalities at least. I suppose it was nice having friends again, even if they were total oddballs.

My throbbing headache prevented me from getting any real rest, as I tossed and turned uncomfortably around my cot. I was sweating bullets and shaking uncontrollably, my horn pulsating with a visably blue glow. There was no mistaking, this was the worst attack I have ever had. My medicine had already numbed the pain down tremendously but I was still far from being stable again, hopefully I'll be over this whole mess soon.

I've got one more exam tomorrow and then i'm finally FREE!!!! (i hate college sometimes...) I'll post tomorrow evening at the first opportunity.

compared to what you would have gotten in bf4 premium compared to hardline it's a complete rip off. There really is no content in BFH at all, it's not even worth the base price of 60 bucks. You're better off just buying bf4 and all the dlc now since they finally fixed most of the bugs. Hardline was completely unnecessary in my opinion, and it's a horrible game.

@@Yoshikupo, "Actually I think its about time we headed back to the labs." Fortunato said as he looked at the sun that rapidly began setting. "Its almost time we met the others." Fortunato smiled a bit. "Plus you'll have plenty of time to explore Canterlot. If you ever have the time come see me during my office hours on Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday after classes. I could show you around a bit." Fortunato didn't really like the idea of getting too close to his students but he was always looking for an excuse to eat at his favorite spot in town. He turned to the student and ushered him to follow him and lead him to the research labs where he found a few others waiting for him.

I'm actually not going to be able to post really either. I have exams coming up so I need to study (its why I kinda had Cosmo have an attack like that).

I followed the nurse the best I can, my head pounding and my vision dizzy. This had to be one of the worst attacks, perhaps the worst, in my entire life. I could feel my horn pulsating with magic, it was like a dam barely holding against rapidly raising waters. Once we got back to my cell I immediately flopped back onto my cot and relaxed for awhile.

(Didn't see the post, whoops.)@@Snowflake Frostflame,@@cybernote nyan, I reached out and grabbed the medicine with my hoof, and quickly swallowed the pill. While I totally despised the forced routine when it comes to medicine around here, especially with my condition, the nurses around here did cater to my needs. Placing objects directly in reach for me instead if hoovering it halfway was a huge thing for me. Most don't realize or forget I can't use simple magic like that so its nice to see the consideration. If only that stopped the occasional stares I'd get from the other inmates, though I could hardly blame them. Seeing a unicorn function without magic was a rarity, its like watching a pegasus that can't fly. I was truely an oddball. After taking my meds I turned to the guard and asked. "I hate to ask even more from you but would you mind escorting me back to my cell for a bit? I don't think I'm going to be able to exercise much right now." The medication needed time to kick in anyway, plus I was still rather nervous after my sudden attack. Usually I just have a minor headache in the morning, it never usually gets this bad by itself. Though randomness was a huge factor in my illness, unicorn magic was wild by itself let alone with my conditions. The best I can do for now is rest for a bit, and hope things calm down.

Whoops didn't see that the rp updated... My bad, I'll post something as soon as I'm home.

I've got another one. EVE: Online is a fun, immersive gaming experience and all the hate it gets for being spreadsheets online is unwarranted. There are tons of gameplay options that never require you to even think about opening up excel. (Though it is a hard game with a massive learning curve.)

Is it my go now or... am I waiting on someone?

That's not what i'm talking about, i'm talking about how the philosophies themselves are both extremely flawed in a sense that it creates further divide. I'm not saying all people who follow these philosophies don't have good intentions in mind or whatever, I'm just saying they are incredibly flawed. Of course I could easily attack both sides by addressing their more radical counter parts however I acknowledge those are a small majority. So instead of criticizing the actions of others I choose to criticize the ideas themselves, which honestly aren't ideologies we should be using in today's society. I for one believe that we should take a more humanistic or egalitarian approach, but that's just my stupid opinion I suppose. I choose to see these problems as human problems not gender specific issues, because I honestly believe that we shouldn't divide the problems between it's x groups problem or it's y's, you should just help people regardless. Neither philosophy uses this ideology and instead blames their troubles and short comings on unseen enemies like the "patriarchy" or whatever, . To me it's like worrying about the boogeyman in the closet instead of fixing whats wrong with society. I'm not saying there isn't sexism in the world (it exists for both men and women) I'm just saying we are going the wrong way about dealing with it. TLDR; Not talking about Feminist or MRA's themselves, just their philosophies and briefly how I think they are flawed.
