Rapid Wind

Sorry y'all. I've just come back from vacation. And as much as I want to come back, the truth is I desire to write stories. There can be no compromise, so I have to leave.

@Queen Chrysalis Servant Hi all, I won't be present on site for a while, I plan my return to be on Friday 21st April.

@Cosmic Breeze Hi all, I won't be present on this site for a while, I plan to make my return on Friday 21st April.

Hi all. I won't be present on this site for a while. I plan my return to be on Friday 21st April.

Getting there the day before is a nice little advantage, you can check the route, make sure you've got the right place, etc. I intend to go down to the convention hotel the day before as well. It's massively reassuring to me to make sure of details and to know the route I will need to take the day before, to avoid any unnecessary confusion.

Less than 6 days to go!

@ThunderCrush I'm waiting on you. Plus, there are still two openings at Raven's table. I'm starting to wonder if I've gone about this in the wrong way.

@Pr0m4NV14, @Orange Sparks, @CentipedeGhoul "The name's Raven," Raven fumed at Cinnamon not remembering her name as she thought he had heard her introduce herself to Bridge. Then, noticing the hospital itself, she noticed though in the countryside, the exterior of the building was presentable. Appaloosa lacked a proper hospital with the sheriff's office being the only area with medical equipment, so this was the first time, Raven had laid eyes on a proper hospital. She was impressed and it's size suggested there was room for a good few injured ponies who needed treatment and Raven stood still to admire the building for a bit.

@Pr0m4NV14, @CentipedeGhoul, @Orange Sparks Raven decided now they were on the way to the hospital, she might as well stay part of the group, but she did admire the sight of colourful flowers and their delightful scents as they passed by a few gardens on their way.

@Pr0m4NV14, @CentipedeGhoul, @Orange Sparks Raven nodded in agreement, but now wondered if taking Cinnamon to hospital required three ponies. It probably didn't, but the clumsy fall of Cinnamon made her worry and once Cinnamon was being treated and at hospital, she would make an excuse to leave and maybe ask the pony she thought to be a local for a proper tour.

Meanwhile, in the sandy frontier town of Appaloosa, ponies were starting to gossip that the royal family were planning something like possibly the next Galloping Gala. Raven was surprised to hear about it, rumours from Canterlot seldom came all the way to Appaloosa, but she got home from work, an invitation letter was waiting for her. She read it with shock the first time, but then took a deep breath and read it again and the words hadn't changed, the invite to a coronation was genuine. "Hmm, I thought Appaloosa was still off-radar for these sort of things," Raven commented, but it did intrigue her and she had never been to Canterlot or the royal castle before. Adventure and a chance to see areas beyond the sandy streets of Appaloosa appealed to Raven. In truth, there were times seeing a tumbleweed roll through town at mid-day reminded Raven that when there was no rodeos or a buck-ball match, Appaloosa did get quiet, but the big city of Canterlot would be more much vibrant and have greater amount of activity. Her mind made up by that fact, Raven trotted to the train station, paid the ticket fee and got on the train to Canterlot.

@Queen Chrysalis Servant Are you only accepting OC's that fill out the forum? If you want something to reference to Raven on this thread, I will include my database entry. https://mlpforums.com/roleplay-characters/raven-mystery-r9864/

A country styled hat like what Applejack wears.

@Trixie . The offers still open for Crystal Cog or a new OC to join Raven at the table, if you do, it would me, @ThunderCrush and you, plus one other.

@Pr0m4NV14, @CentipedeGhoul, @Orange Sparks Raven took notice of the Earth pony introducing himself as Cinnamon Spice and added a greeting nod to show she had paid attention, but when the Earth pony said he'd never got her name when he was in the vicinity when she introduced herself to Bride, she was a little annoyed. Then, another new arrival on scene said "Uh, no, you weren't exactly disturbing me." Took a look at Bridge and added a respectful nod and stated he'd been worried. "Hay, ya' wouldn't know where the nearest hospital is?" Raven asked in the direction of the newcomer as she thought he might be local and the Earth pony might still need a check-up.

@ThunderCrush Then, feel free to join Raven at the table, one spot filled, two remaining.

@Pr0m4NV14, @Orange Sparks While, she had been glancing over Bridge McBride, trying to formulate an opinion on him as she had never met an Emerald Isles resident before, Raven didn't notice the Earth pony had left until she heard unclear mumbling and looked back at the Earth pony in puzzlement in what he was mumbling about.

Hay everyone. I hate to inform you all, but I think it's time to start separating into smaller RP groups, so its more manageable for every pony. The table Raven picked out only has enough room for three more ponies. It is unfortunate, but the old saying, "First come, first served," applies. You can say that's unfair, however there will be more than enough opportunities for interaction with Raven. I've got to get her to find herself a job and a home in Ponyville after all, so there'll be opportunities for other OC's to intercept or to be around her. Heck, if for example, @nx9100 was not one of the three ponies around Raven at the bakery, but when I start to post Raven going around and achieving her objectives, intercepts her at another point, say when Raven out and about in town and job hunting, then there'll be interaction.

@Alex Van Gamer, @ThunderCrush, @nx9100, @Kulstor, @Mysterious Way, @Cosmic Breeze Raven noticed the blue unicorn with a yellow mane order the same thing she did. Maybe he was expecting to get her to pay for him, and that wouldn't sit well with Raven. Or that was until, she noticed he had hoofed over two gold bits. Then, when Pinkie returned and gave her a plate of the six brownies she had ordered, she wondered if Pinkie had noticed her first under her breath comment. Still, that mattered not as she decided to find a free table to enjoy her brownies. She soon found one and took a seat near the window. It was still grand to Raven's eye to notice the scenery around Ponyville was different to Appaloosa. Even the difference between sandy paths and dirt paths were noticeable, but the bigger difference was the amount of greenery around in the trees, the grass and the fresh flowers being grown in the gardens. As she had been preoccupied to find a table, Raven failed to notice Thunder's odd look.

@Mysterious Way Right, seems I'm a member getting in the know, thanks for that. I have to say though, this one is the last RP I'll join until @Derplight Sperkle and the EQE database admins fix the database. I will say they're likely working through the issues and I intend the mention of the name here to not be with malicious intent. Hmm, I'll give Applejack a go. Plus, you already know Raven's OC profile.

@Alex Van Gamer, @Trixie ., @Kulstor, @nx9100, @Mysterious Way, @ThunderCrush, @Cosmic Breeze "Ya' could buzz off," Raven muttered under her breath as she was still sour Pinkie and the Ponyville team had defeated the Appaloosa team in a recent buck-ball match. Still, her rumbling stomach betrayed her into giving a reason to stay in Sugar Cube, try to nice to Pinkie and get a sweet treat or something to eat. "Make my order," Raven said and then pondered a rotten revenge scheme which she thought would take Pinkie all day to accomplish. She thought about requesting something difficult to make or something that require ingredients, a bakery and a sweet shop was unlikely to have and then put gold bits onto the counter, so by paying for this alleged good, she would twist Pinkie's hoof by forcing her to provide the service. She thought if she could come up with a rotten, diabolical revenge scheme, she would, but her stomach wouldn't wait all day and neither would the other customers. "Ugh, make my order, six chocolate brownies," Raven caved into her stomach, rather than a revenge scheme and accepted the scheme would have to wait.

@Alex Van Gamer The ponies are arriving at Sugar Cube Corner, now, and if ya' want this could be a time for a Pinkie Pie introduction.

@Cosmic Breeze, @Trixie ., @Kulstor, @Mysterious Way, @ThunderCrush Raven Mystery grudgingly followed the others to Pinkie's, not particularly wanting to come across her, but judging she didn't know her way around Ponyville and still needed a tour, she thought it easier to do this small task than it was to get lost for hours on end. Still, on entering Sugar Cube corner, the waft of bread baking and the scent of muffins and sweet treats soon made her stomach rumble.

@Orange Sparks, @Pr0m4NV14 "Raven Mystery," Raven introduced herself to Bridge as she thought it plain rude not to after he gave his name. She also exchange a glance over the pony looking over his mane, coat and tail all to help her make a judgement about Bridge and to help her remember what he looked like for future meetings.

@Orange Sparks, @Pr0m4NV14 Raven briefly noticed the traveller ask the earth pony whether he was all right, but she then noticed the Earth pony was speaking and heard "I'm okay, thanks." And noticed his hat fly off into the wind, but the wind had already grabbed it and blew it away. Then, she heard the Earth pony apparently apologising rather unnecessarily for bothering the traveller when he might be hurt. "You shouldn't say sorry, if you're really hurt. Where's the nearest hospital around these parts?" Raven asked the Earth pony, thinking it best he got checked out and it was better safe than sorry.
