That all depends on you, the more you give me to work with, the more I can give back. this time I'm afraid your reply will be quite brief, but rest assured that they'll pick up once the action starts. I'm not sure what to do with this, do you want this to replace your other reply? because I've already got the reply to that one ready, and the reply I made doesn't make sense with this one. also, it was Stylus Slider who said it sounded like garbage, not D Chord, Chord just reacted.

Stick together the pony way!

Holy cow. These replies are taking Waaay too long! I'm going to blame Meta. he's got 1 and a half replies to do and I haven't seen him all week. (Of ourse, I've been doing a bit of procrastinating myself, so I guess I can't blame Meta COMPLETELY.... Nah. I'm the boss and I can blame whoever I want! It's all Meta's Fault. (Seriosly though, I'm going to TRY to get these out today.)

(Once Apon A time, There were some replies,) “Uh, Sure, I guess.” AJ replies. “Be careful though!” You go outside and watch as the odd ship sails by, it definately is getting awfully close to the barn... The impact is surprisingly loud, sounding more like an explosion than a crash, actually, from the looks of things you are having trouble understanding how the impact could have done that much damage... Surprize laughs. “Silly! How could you get me and Pinkie mixed up? She doesn’t have wings!” she flutters her wings to illustrate her point. “but I Love the idea! I haven’t seen my favorite cousin in a long time! I’d love to hang out with her some more! Add a couple of handsome stallions in the mix... well, that’s even better!” Suddenly, you hear a loud crash. “Ohmygosh what was that?” “Wow.” The changeling replies. “It’s not an act. You are ACTUALLY that stupid. You honestly believe you can win our queen’s love!” He laughs. “The queen’s love for the hive is what keeps us fed! If she were to love anything else then we would suffer, but she loves us too much to let that happen, there literally isn’t enough room in her heart for the likes of you!” “Hey, you okay?” He leans in to examine you. “You’re looking a little red. you don’t have a fever do you?” Gilda looks at Fluttershy for a bit longer, then turns back to you. “Nah... I’m fine.” Just then a lout Crash rocks the ship. “Woah. What was that? Did we hit something?” “Hey, tha’s Cloudsdale, right. The place they make th’ rainbows ‘n such, in a factory er somethin’,” he says, momentarily forgetting his fear of heights, “‘s real pretty lookin’.” The second Volley of Cannon Balls flies at the enemy ship, one of them hitting the Black Heart’s main mast, causing it to split and break, falling down onto her deck. A cheer rises from the pirates around you.“ALL PEGASI TO ME!!” Briny Shouts. “GET YERSELF A GRAPPLE AND FLY THOSE LINES OVER! You two.” She points at you and Daring. “I don’t suppose y’all could give me a lift?” She looks slightly embarrassed at the prospect. “Once we’re across, the real fight starts, And in this case we’ll need all our best swordsponies over there.” “G-G-Gilda?” She said frightened. She backed away from her. Gilda glared at her for a bit, and then looked back. A moment later you feel the floor shake as a loud noise fills the air. “Oh! Ohno! Did we Hit something? Did something hit us?” She curls up in a little ball on the floor. “eep!” Derpy frowned at the drink, “This looks like the stuff in my momma’s no-no closet...” she took a sip and tilted her head, then made a face, “Can I have the soda now?” “Like Garbage.” Stylus answers. “But considering the song, I thought it was on purpose.” At this, D chord turns in interesting shade of red.“Well, I liked it.” Vinyl says. Blossom smiles “Alright. That sounds like fun. (Better than listening to Cloud Kicker all day)” “Wildcard? are you listening to me?” Rarity asks. You are suddenly pulled from your daydream. “I was just telling you that we are going to be heading to canterlot for the fashion show in three days.” Rainbow Dash gives you an odd look when you call her ‘beautiful’ but decides not to comment. “Jordo’s not here right now. I left him a note.” She says. “Piiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiie,” he moans like a zombie, then shakes his head. “Lead the way!” he declared, with a proud little puff to his chest.A message From Quick Fix to all Ponies on board the Halberd: “Attention Passangers: The S.S. Halberd has experienced some slight, *Grunt* navigation difficulties, and we have run into Applejack’s barn. The ship has sustained minimal damadge, and the voyage should be able to continue as-planned. Unfortunately... I’ll end up having to fix her up a new barn,” there’s a pause and a heavy sigh, “BUt please do not be alarmed, Sailor Yellow has prepared a nice cake for you, and there is still much fun and music to be had!”Quick sighs, “Oh, Meta, when are you going to get back... Sailor Red, how do these doo-hickies work? You move the stick and it turns the ship?”

What Recreational Substances you may or may not use are none of my concern. But don't sweat it, It's just a missed post. not all that surprising considering the turnover here. Soon. Very soon. It should be this week. just hang tight.

Yes she has, take another look at my post on page 62, your reply is the very first one. here is the link: http://mlpforums.com/topic/33149-ask-any-pony-on-a-date/page-62

You are Doing it wrong. You have to sign up in the OOC first, and Rainbow Dash is already taken. Twice.

You have been added to the list. Welcome Aboard! You may begin posting as soon as you feel you are ready. *** I just realized I'm a Squirrel. When did that happen?

(Huh? What? The replies are out on time for once? What sorcery is this?) “No, no. I’m fine.” She stands up, looking perfectly well. “Sorry... I’m able to absorb alcohol easier than most other ponies... for some sciency reason I don’t know about.” She looks around. “So, you wanna get a drink?” You see a bunch of other people, dancing, drinking punch. Sailor Red’s tuning his guitar, Sailor Yellow, is coming out with the cake, and Sailor Blue is helping a wizened old brown pegasus into the party. Carrot Top smiles. “It’s a great party, especially a free one.” A tune strikes up. “You wanna dance?” “I don’t see why not,” she said, smiling. She looked a little buzzed, but otherwise enthusiastic. Rainbow Dash Takes the helmet and examines it for a moment. before placing it on her head. the blade sticks out of her forehead like a unicorn’s horn, except way cooler because it’s a blade. “Check it out! I’m an Alicorn! Rainbow Dash, Princess of Awesomeness!” Gilda and you dance. But after a little bit, she runs into a somewhat familiar yellow pegasus. She stops a bit, scowling at her, and then resumes. The punch, you could tell from here, had something in it... what, you weren’t sure, but it wasn’t just punch. “Nao, Nao, Ah’m sure that it’s just some Fancypants Canterlot noble Takin’ a cruise on his personal Airship or Somethin’ Nothin’ ta worry about.” Applejack said. although she definitely looked worried. “It is comin’ in awful low though, I’d hate for it to hit the barn. we JUST had it rebuilt...” “A foal DID Pull it off.” The Changeling Remarks Snidely as you leave. (He Doesn’t like you) D chord steps up to the mic “Um, That’s not the actual name of the s-” “We are Bang Bob-omb! 1, 2, 3, 4!” Snare cuts him off. You begin to play. “N-naw, it’s fine. Keep right on flyin’. I ain’t gunna plummet at break-neck pace to muh doom,” he sounds more like he’s trying to convince himself at the moment. “That sounds fine. But what about those movie tickets you won? It would be a shame for them to go to waste...” Twilight Replies, Doing her best to sound as though she doesn’t really care. “Oh, I’d like, uhh... Do they have any Dr. Muffin soda? It’s my favorite.” You begin to suspect that Derpy does not know the meaning of alcohol. (That’s an entry alright) Thunder Lane Turns around when he hears your voice. He smiles when he sees you. “Oh, Hey! How’s it going?” “A drink would be marvelous Darling.” Rarity Replies. You aren’t sure, but the way she said ‘darling’ just then seemed different from the way she normally says it. as though perhaps it actually meant something. The Captain turned away. “Bring us about. I want her in range of our guns before we’re in range of hers.” “Eye Captain!” Briny Saluted. she turned to the crew. “ALRIGHT YA MANGY DIAMOND DOGS! GET READY! I WANT ALL HOOVES READY! GUNNERS GET TO YOUR STATIONS! HELMSPONY! HARD TO STARBOARD, EVERYPONY ELSE FIND THE SHARPEST BLADE YA CAN FIND! DON’T STAND THERE GAWKING LIKE BARNACLES! MOVE!” The crew quickly leapt into action. Briny turns to you. “For your sake, I hope Yer as good with those swords as ya seem ta think you are.” The ship slowly turns, presenting it’s broadside to the enemy. The black ship mirrors the movement and soon the two ships are sailing parallel to each other. “GET READY YA CRUDE BEAVERS! Briny Calls. she turns to her father. “On yer order, Captain.” The Captain nods. he stands perfectly still for several moments, then... “Fire.” “FIRE!” Briny repeats the order. “FIRE ALL! NOW!” The canons fire, The Mother of Pearl’s cannon balls ripping into the sides of the enemy, which you can now see is called the ‘Black Heart.’ The Black Heart Returns fire. causing the railing a few hooves to your left to shatter. “RELOAD!” Briny calls. “GET THOSE GUNS BACK IN ACTION! THE LAST GUNNER TO FIRE GETS A FLOGGIN’ WHEN ALL THIS IS OVER!” She drops her voice. “Assuming there’s anypony left to flog.”

For Those of you who enjoy my storytelling, You might be interested in tossing some love over here.

You can start Immediately. I should be putting out replies sometime today if all goes well. if not, then it'll be Friday.

You may want to be careful what you say on the public forum... Also, I suddenly have the urge to see Lightning Dust and Thunder Lane shipped together...

Yes, I know who Thunder Lane is, I would be willing to let you date a mare, it's M/M that I'm uncomfortable with. (nothing against gay men, I just don't like the Idea of participating in it myself.) It's your choice. Thunder and Lightning are both available. let me know.

“You have a pie for me?” his eyes widened with excitement, “Where?” He was practically bouncing with excitement. “Shows always make me hungry.” He scratched his head embarrassed, “Sorry, pie makes me forget my manners. Except for when Spitfire played that one trick on me. She offered me a pie, and gave me pi instead. You know, the rotated equal sign with the squiggly mark on top.” The Next Day, You arrive to pick Up Rainbow Dash. You knock on her door, And she opens it a moment later. “Hey Sturdy! We ready to go kick some monster flank?” His grip seems to tighten around you, as it does not seem he’s used to this sort of thing. His eyes were tightly closed and his face was buried in your back. She laughed, “Oh, you are too kind Darling.” She tucked her chin in, blushing at your praise as you come up on Sugar Cube Corner. “Umm... May I please have some punch?” Zecora Stops her hoof firmly. “I cannot stand by and let this be! My Dear, I invite you to stay here with me.” (NOPE) She grinned, grabbed your hand, and leapt inside. There was a lot of other ponies inside. You recognize a few of them. There is music playing, punch, and a female unicorn watching out over the proceedings. Gilda, smirking, grabbed your front claws and began to dance with you. “You can stay here as long as ya like, Red.” Applejack replies with a smile. “Applejack...?” “Yes, Apple Bloom?” “What is... that?” She walked over to the window and squinted out of it. “What’s what?” “There was a giant ship! Flying! In midair!” squeaks Apple Bloom. “Maybe it’s just time that you made your way up to bed.” “Yeah... I am tired.” You arrive back at the hive and are greeted by one of the Changeling guards. “Well, well, If it isn’t the queen’s Pet!” The changeling scoffs. “I take it your little game of fetch was a success?” “~Don’t go breakin’ my heart.~” You sing. “~I couldn’t if I tried.~” Surprise sings back. “~Oh Honey, If I get restless...~” “~Baby you’re not that kind.~” As the two of you continue to sing to each other, a hush falls over the crowd. Everypony gathers around to listen. D chord steps between you. “Haha, NO. You aren’t going anywhere until Practice is over.” He looks over at Vinyl. “Of course you're Girlfriend is welcome to stay and watch.” “Alright.” Vinyl says, going and taking a seat on the couch next to Stylus. “So, What do you play?” “Umm.” Stylus replies “Zelda... Tetris... That’s kind of a big question.. .” “Stylus Is my roommate, He’s not actually part of the band.” D chord informs her. (Lazy Meta. Tut, tut.) Looking around you see that most of the other ponies have left. Half Note and Surprize are singing a duet, and the only ponies who aren’t watching them are yourselves, and Pinkie Pie, Who Is trying (with mixed results) to carry the prone form of Winter Chill up the stairs. “Umm... I don’t know... Twilight and I were never able to find out. You see, Twilight hatched me from an egg...” he falls silent. (Next Time) “Uh, sure! Do you want me to come with you?” (You want a pony who breaks everything she touches... Drunk.) You can see the large black Ship coming after you, on it’s decks stand a rowdy mismatched collection of Pirates, all armed to the teeth. It’s not difficult to pick out Captain Pinkbeard. He stands at the front of his ship looking at yours through a spyglass of his own. you have to resist the urge to laugh out loud when you see him. He has to be the Pinkest Stallion you have ever seen. Briny catches you chuckling. “Eye, he looks quite silly don’t he? but don’t let him catch you laughin’ at him, he has even less mercy for those who make fun of him. which is saying something, seeing that he don’t have any mercy to begin with.” She took it and smoothly got to her hooves. “How about we go where you too. I’m a little hungry myself... How about a restaurant. Pick your favorite.”

Cain't say I have.

Sure! Just Make a character sheet and link it here. I need an official MLPforums Character Sheet. Like THIS ONE. Sure. I can do that. ***** Actually, while I'm at it, I think I'll sign up myself! now that there are three of us making replies, one of the others can do it for me! My Character is Page Turner an'd he'll begin dating Briny Blue very soon!

Ahoy there Fellow seafarer! and apparently yer Cyborg too. That's interesting.

<Blushes violently> Oh stop that. You guys are embarrassing me. (Although it is nice to know i'm missed)

Fillies and gentlecolts, you may begin quivering in fear at your earliest convenience, because I am BACK! Gilda lands on top of the ship... and puts her head, sideways, to the ground. “Is there a... party in here?” Twilight blushes. “Heh, well, no pony’s perfect.” she says. what do you want to do now?” “Uhh, okay, I’ma just, er, climb on ‘ere,” he said, getting on in an awkward manor. His hooves locked around her waist, “Er, I never heard of hooves bein’ called hoovies ‘fore. Kinda cute...” “That sounds Awesome!” Dash exclaims. “I’d love to go Wrestle some monsters! I’ll totally see you then!” (Look out Jordo, you may have some Competition after all...) Zecora looks at you thoughtfully. “Such a thing does not seem right, where then, do you lay your head at night?” On the couch, she staggers upright weakly. “No, no, I’m fine.” She hiccups once, and then takes out a bottle of wine. She eyes it, and then hands the bottle over to you. “You want some, mister Guardsman?” (You still want to date the drunkard?) “Umm... sure...” You enter the large brown building later on that night. It was decorated oddly, and didn’t have any windows. There were lots of other ponies there, chatting and toasting and, one in particular, was standing in a hallway watching the others. “I ‘must’ do nothing,” Chrysalis growls. “I am still your queen, and you are still my slave. If I so choose, I can call off this little ‘deal’ of yours and lock you away somewhere you won’t cause trouble! Never forget that! However, I did give my word. and I shall adhere to it and attempt to be more... Romantic.” she leans down and gives you a nuzzle. “Please Return to the hive with our... guest. I have a meeting with the princess to attend.” Page Shrugs. “Well, yeah. It’s not like there’s an excess of Mares on this ship.” Just then, you hear the sounds of Hooves coming down the stairs in a great hurry. and a moment later Briny herself comes down the stairs, followed by the Large form of Jolly Roger. “Get them out of there,” Briny orders. “And see to it that they get their weapons back.” “What’s going on?” Daring asks. “The Navy Didn’t spot us, but somepony even worse did.” Briny explains. “We need all Hooves on deck, and that includes you two.” “What about me?” Page asks. “You stay here and don’t get killed. A sea battle is no place for a bookworm.” Briny says. “I don’t understand!” Daring exclaims. “Who is attacking us?” Briny looks at each of you in turn. “You know how I said that we pirates aren’t as bad as the stories make us sound? well, that’s not strictly true. Some pirates really are that bad, and right now, we are being hunted by the worst of the worst. Captain Pinkbeard.” (Really, Page? Just... really? Tell me this isn’t your tulpa speaking.) (What? What would you expect Pony Blackbeard to be called? Bluebeard was a real pirate, as was Bloodbeard, and Greenbeard and Purplebeard sound stupid. Plus, I like the Irony of it) (Nopie opie! Pagey came up with it all on his own!) “... Drinking. I sometimes, maybe touch up on video games. But I don’t really have enough time for anything but music; it is my life.” “Oh how thoughtful!” Rarity says, accepting the rose and, after using her magic to shave off the thorns, Tucks it into her Mane just above her ear. “What do you think?” She looked briefly worried, but then smiled, “Well, what do you wanna do?” Her face was a mask that hid the worried look in her eyes. (This is True) “Hello? what’s goin’ on? oh, Hay Red, C’mon in. ” Applejack says. Spike thinks for a moment. “Not off the top of my head, why don’t you ask me something?” (Sadly, this is going to have to wait, since the events being referred to haven’t happened yet from the Point of view of the others.) You sense her become embarrassed. “Well... Thanks...” She puts a hoof on your shoulder. “Well, let’s go, shall we?” You enter a building and sense loads of people inside, enjoying the party- and some were wondering what exactly this place was... Surprise thinks for a moment, then her face lights up “Oh! Oh! I want to sing with you now! do you know ‘Don’t go breakin’ my heart?’” "Hey, What's up?" Vinyl Says. The others all stare at her, looks of disbelief on their faces. "You're here with Paradox? Seriosly?" Stylus asks. "Dox." Snare says. "You are the salt of the earth. No, Wait... Scum. I mean't to say 'Scum of the earth." For Meta’s Partygoers Just then, the ground started shaking. The center of balance shifted, and the building seemed to go... up? The hatch closed, and the windows opened, providing a splendid view of the sky. A voice came on an intercom... “Good evening, ladies and gentlecolts. My name is Meta Knight, and I am your host for this evening. Please enjoy yourselves, and if there is anything I could do for you, please ask me or one of my friends... they will be wearing sailor’s outfits.” (Let’s get the party started!) (Sorry for the inconvenience Sweets, but you will have to wait until next time. We (the team) need to discuss who your replier is going to be.)

Good news. I Have Returned. I shall begin making replies right away. You should have them by tomorrow.

Briny Blue is the fearsome, one-winged first mate (and future captain) of the Mother of Pearl. When she isn't practicing her swordplay, Plundering merchant ships, and looking for treasure, she may just take the time to answer some of your questions about what life is like for a Pirate in Equestria. (I may occasionally answer in Pictures)
