AspenSwift

Meh, however you choose. You could quickly make up a story about what they've done since the town began, and continue form there, or have them come in separately. Walking into town would be hard, as it's on an island.

Accepted! Can't wait to see you on the forums!

The blazing hot sun beamed down on Aspen Swift as he hammered the last nail into a window shutter. The shutter now stood by itself, and Aspen practiced opening and closing it to make sure it worked. Perfect. The blue earth pony circled the house, looking for the next job to do. Paint the windowsill? Check. Stain the wooden logs? Check. "There's probably still something to do inside," he thought, and trotted back around the house to the front, where the ornate wooden door sat. As he stepped inside the house, Aspen looked around for something new to do. "I finished the floor last Tuesday," he thought "And I installed the bookshelves yesterday." Aspen sat down as the realization hit him: he had finished his house. Completely. All by himself. Everything was unpacked and moved, and Aspen could honestly say that he had successfully applied for land, cleared it out, and built a house on it. Running back out the front door, Aspen took a second to compare his house to the others that shared his street. Sure, most of them were more elaborate and larger, but Aspen still felt a sense of pride. He went back inside, and walked through each of the rooms. It wasn't big by all means, mostly consisting of a kitchen connected to an open space in the front, a loft, and in the back was Aspen's bedroom. After all this time, Aspen could honestly say that he had adapted to the land. It way have taken a few months, but Aspen felt ready to challenge the world.

Aww, I'm really sorry, Red. Thanks for sticking with us for so long, I really appreciated the awesome posts and everything. I understand that keeping up with the posts and making your own is really hard, and I understand. Anyway, thanks for being a part of the RP for so long! I really appreciate it! Good luck in your other RPs! @@Ochre_Dust, That sounds fine

@@Ochre_Dust, Sounds fair

Sorry I haven't been too active either, guys. School starting has really taken over my life again. I feel a time skip should be okay. Any thoughts on how long?

Meh. I don't just love the fandom being associated with somebody as *ahem* artistic as Miley, but I have no right to judge her on it. Maybe some of her fans will join the herd as well, which could be good.

Sorry about the difficulties! Thanks for the response, I totally understand.

So, has everybody received notices about it now? I applied, but I haven't gotten anything back yet. I'm sure the staff are doing their best to read all of the applications as quickly as possible .

Before I start, I'm sorry if this is considered advertising. If it is, let me know and I can take it down. However, I did reread the rules, and it doesn't say anything about linking TeamSpeak servers, so I think I'm in the clear. Anyway, some friends of mine and I have started a TeamSpeak server that anyone can join for free. It includes an MLP section that I am in charge of, as well as Anime and Gaming sections. There are not many people on right now, but we're hoping that will change. The staff are extremely friendly and helpful. The server name is: ts.communitycrate.com:10060

@@RivkaBobble, Accepted! Thanks for applying!

@@Loud Opinion, Aspen waved goodbye, and bounded off into the undergrowth. It took him a while to find the camp again, and so when he got back darkness had fallen on the town. Warm yellow light poured from the torches placed around the dirt road, illuminating the primitive shops and homes. Aspen decided to tell the other officials about the sister camp in the morning, and trotted over to his tent for the night.

@, Sure, just check the front page's rules on how to apply! @, I'm really sorry, but Alicorns have been deemed to OP for the RP. If you want to revise her at all, I'm sure we could work something out.

@@Loud Opinion, "Names' Gold Dust by the way, the Gold family's most competent rebel at your service," Aspen returned the greeting, reaching out and shaking Gold's hoof. "I'm Aspen Swift! Thank you for showing me to this settlement, I'm glad to see that we have some more friends on the island!" Suddenly, Aspen looked up. "Hm, looks like it's getting pretty dark. I should try to get back to the town." He turned back to Gold. "Sorry, but I might need to skip out on your offer of dinner. I should probably be getting back to base, I don't want to lose my way in the dark."

@@Loud Opinion, As Aspen and the golden-maned stallion made their way out of the camp, Aspen learned about the camp they were going to visit. Apparently, everypony here came from a town back in Equestria, and they wanted to get away. As the two stallions trotted through the undergrowth, Aspen realized he didn't even know this pegasus' name. As he was about to ask, the sudden smell of smoke hit his nostrils. "Smells like supper's ready," said the pegasus, "if you have the stomach for it, we probably have enough leftover for one extra," "No than-" Aspen was about to decline when he felt his stomach rumble. And man, did that food smell delicious. Aspen grinned sheepishly "Maybe just a quick bite." The two bushwhacked a bit until they stumbled into a clearing. "Huh," thought Aspen. "Guess he wasn't lying about the camp." In the clearing a handful of tents were set up, each surrounded by a ring drawn in the dirt. "Probably marking off land boundaries," he realized. The other stallion turned to Aspen. "Welcome to 'Eternum minimum'!" Aspen looked around. There seemed to not be ponies around, until Aspen realized they were probably getting dinner. "Well, i'd like to meet some of the other ponies from here," said Aspen, "oh, and I guess I forgot to catch your name...what is it again?"

Hey there! Do you ever try to draw with a paper and pen? How good are you?

Sorry! I got sidetracked and forgot to post. I'll be more alert, I promise.

@@Loud Opinion, ​"Well, 'settlement' is a bit generous, but I digress. You seem like a nice pony, and any publicity is good publicity, so why not? Come on follow me, its not that far away: just northwest of here," "Well," replied Aspen, "I appreciate the compliment!" He smiled. "Hm, now what should I bring?" he wondered. Then, remembering that he practically brought nothing here, he decided to just go without packing. "I guess that I'm ready to go," said Aspen. "Lead the way!"
