Page Turner

Okay, I decided to check in and.... Let me reiterate. Meta, Dawn, you have my permission to post while I'm gone.

<sigh.> Do i hear a 'Please?' I'm TRYING but life is being really lifey right now. I'm Soooooooooooo sorry that I am not able to keep my grandmother from being sick, my father from being an ***hole, and my house from falling apart AND get you guys your replies at the same time! I am going to trust you guys not to break anything. I'm taking a break. I'll see you guys in 1 week.

It's SUPPOSED to be updated every Monday Wednesday and Friday, but right now he holidays are wreaking havoc with my scedule, so I'll get the replies out... eventually.

Well, looking at the roleplay, It seems you already have. So we'll start from there. As for not coming off as a jerk... yeah, good luck with that.

Well... alright. I'm not going to say no. You are Added to the OP. let the games begin. Alright. The OP shall be updated. You have to sign up in the OOC first, and Fluttershy is taken. You have to sign up in the OOC first. Please do so.

All stories (with the exception of Daring Do and Dawnpath/LLLLLL) are Canon to one another unless specifically otherwise stated, I am currently working out the details of how the stories can interconnect, but for the moment, you can consider yourself safe to assume that you both exist simultaneously, however, I am pretty sure that you will not be DIRECTLY involved with anything that goes down. Also, While I'm here, I apologise for the lack of replies today, I was otherwise occupied with real life stuff.

Octavia WILL appear in the Story at some point, yes, I won't tell you in what capacity, but she'll be there.

(Happy New Year Everypony! Last Replies of 2012 GO! ) “If you want a prize, it’ll be able to tell everyone that you didn’t eat my dust!” She zooms forward, streaking across the skies... And she smacks into a large, brown cloud. Now that you look at it, it’s not just a cloud, but a ship- a huge ship- that’s suspended in midair. “Whoa...” Gilda says, backing off of it. “Oh... Okay. I guess that’s okay then So, When do want to go?” Fluttershy asks. “Well, I really should get back to work, however, I heard that there was a rather Delightful soiree happening at Sugarcube Corner this evening. Perhaps we could pop in and say hello.” Rarity suggests. D chord looks ready to have a heart attack. “Oh great. It’s ‘Not as bad” well that’s comforting to know, at least when we lose the battle of the bands they’ll say we were ‘not bad’. C’mon, we have to get this right! once more from the-” the doorbell rings. “WHAT NOW!” Stylus slides off the couch and opens the door. he stares at this latest visitor for a second. “Umm, I think you may have the wrong house...” “Really?” Vinyl says. “This Is the Address that Paradox gave me...” There is a round of applause as you conclude your song. Surprise looks shocked for a moment when you lay one on her, but then quickly relaxes, returning your kiss with full force. you are seated under a tree on a grassy hill. Applejack is with you. you are having a picnic. She asks you what you brought, and you reach into the basket and pull out several yummy looking sweets. Applejack takes one and bites into it. She gets a bit of frosting on her lip. you wipe it off for her. You both laugh. Suddenly, a crack opens up in the ground between you. a large black claw reaches up out of the crack. It grabs Applejack and pulls her down. She screams. You try to go after her, but it’s too late. The crack has already closed. Applejack is gone. Forever. You scream for her over and over, but you know, deep down, she’s never coming back. you wake up screaming. (Umm, Okay, you’re interacting with yourself at this point so... continue.) “Well, today is a special occasion.” Applejack says. “We’re celebrating yer new contract with Sweet Apple Acres.” “Heya fellas. This is Suntouched Coco. Ehh, I think you guys can just call ‘er Coco, I know y’all don’t like them longer words. Coco, the ligh’er one is Golden Delicious, the redder one is Red Delicious.” The two stallions nudged each other, until Golden spoke, “Yer a lille shy, ain’tcha?” “I was just wondering about how much I should drink, comparing it to yours,” she sighed, “Alright, another question. You ask me this time,” she winked. You wake up In Pinkie’s Bed. You can tell it’s pinkie’s because it has pink sheets, the entire room around it is pink, and, most tellingly of all. Pinkie herself is laying next to you. “HI!” she says. “Welcome back sleepyhead!” You can sense her blush. “Um... OK.” She leads you out back. “Well, I garden for a living. But due to a lack of rain, the winter carrots aren’t-” Just then, a green pony with black hair walked up and said there was a Hearth’s Warming Eve Party that night at 10 o’clock, and to meet at the field outside of town. “Oh, a party! And the admission is free, too!” She turns to you. “Well, it seems that you are in luck. Do you want to go with me?” (Fast Fact: Did you know that Carrot Top’s canon name is Golden Harvest?) (Is that not common knowledge?There was quite a hullabaloo when that first happened...) “I’m sure that it will be alright.” Zecora says. she points her hoof at the apples. “would you mind if I have a bite?” Spike looks really uncomfortable with the question. “Umm, she’s... Nopony, She’s just a friend. I... um, may have sort of had a crush on her a while back... but that’s over now. she’s with somepony else...” Chrysalis shakes her head as She watches him go. That “Foal is going to get us all in a lot of trouble someday...” (And I finally read through all that ^) Quick had left to go to the party, and she came back into the floating tanker in a red gown, the shimmered a little with silk. It didn’t look very fancy, or expensive, but it did look nice. It had a little bit of embroidery around the edges with wrenches and gears, and she had a santa cap for the season. She blushed, “Sorry, I don’t really go shoppin’ for dresses. I’m a little busy helping Derpy... clean up. DERPY! COME ON IN!”” she called to the door. The pegasus poked her head in, then darted in next to Glitch, hugging him so he couldn’t see the fancy grey-and-yellow dress she was wearing. http://fc03.deviantart.net/fs70/f/2011/183/d/a/derpy_gala_dress_by_c_puff-d3krah0.png She hugged him feircly, “Glitch, I-I have a confession...” she mumbles, “I can’t dance.” “You can’t dance my hoof,” Quick mumbled, “You could dance Rarity out o’ a Dress. You jus’ don’t have a sense uhv space.” Derpy blushed. Nope. Twilight takes two steps and trips over her own hooves. Blushing furiously, she picks herself up and pins the tail right on the pony’s nose. She takes off her blindfold and looks at her attempt. “Heh, Can I try that again?”

Okay folks just a reminder: There are no replies on Sunday. I'll see you all tomorrow, at which point replies will resume their regular schedule.

She will be arriving soon, as for the song, I didn't really think about it that much, it's not like I could type out the musical annotation for it, even if that were possible.

yes, yes, please do that. I apologize, i was afraid something like that might happen. My bad. oopsie. Okay, First off, please keep things like this in the OOC thread. as for your requests, sadly I am going to have to say 'no' I have not read either of those stories, nor do I intend to read FOE, because I don't want to spend the rest of my life reading some Grimdark crossover with a game I've never played. as for asking out a stallion rather than a mare... only if your OC is female.

(I hope I didn’t miss anyone, also I’m sorry these were so late, but they’re here now, as promised) (the DJ just left, and they have set up a karaoke station, at least that’s where most of you are, Static is a bit behind...) Twilight looks around. “Why don’t we go play Pin the Tail on the Pony now?” She leads you over to the corner where the poster of the tailless pony is set up, and suddenly you find yourself blindfolded. Somepony you assume must be Twilight spins you around for a few seconds. “Okay, go ahead.” You hear her say. You step forward until you feel the wall in front of you, and you pin the tail in the first spot you find. you rip of your blindfold to reveal... “Hey, not bad.” Twilight says. the tail appears to be coming out from just above the pony’s cutie mark. “My turn!” “Well, We’ll soon fix that.” AJ replies, taking the seat next to you. The rest of the family sits down and you all begin the meal. Several delectable looking dishes are passed around, and everypony takes some. Before you know it, your plate is piled several inches high. “Umm, yeah sure.” Spike says, a tad uncomfortable from all the attention. “I’d like that, um... do you need a place to stay? Twilight’s still at that party, and Pinkie’s parties tend to go on well into the night, so I’m sure she wouldn't mind if you used her bed.” “Alrighty! Onward to Victory!” Pinkie exclaims. hopping into her own cannon. “Ready, set, GO!” you both launch at the mattress side by side, Pinkie reaches out to you and pulls you into a mid-air hug as you hurtle towards the ground at a speed that would make any sane pony rethink their plan. Fortunately, you're not sane at the moment, so you shout “Whee!” along with the pink pony until you both land safely on the mattress. you both laugh for a moment. Then, Pinkie says, “Hehe, I just realized, right now, we’re laying on a mattress hugging each other...” “Oh, what’s the rush? Why don’t we all just lay down and take a nap first? After all, we have two whole days! It's not like we’re nowhere near ready...” Chord grumps. “Hey! The grumpy sarcasm thing is my bit!” Snare grumps back. Chord sighs. “Whatever, yes, let’s please get started. We should go over the first song a few times, got it?” you all nod, and then Snare lifts her drumsticks above her head and shouts “WE ARE THE BANG BOB-OMBS! 1, 2, 3, 4!” You start playing. Daring looks at you for a long moment. “This is the part where I’m supposed to tell you not to think that way, say that you are helpful, and give some grand speech to make you feel better isn’t it?” She says. “I’ll be honest, I don’t feel like it, I’m just going to give it to you straight. You’re right, so far you’ve been more of a hinderance than a help, however, that has nothing to do with our situation. If I were alone, the same thing would have happened, I’d still be on a pirate ship, I’d still be down here in this cell, waiting to see if the pony that comes to get me out is a Pirate or a soldier. The only difference is that I would be alone, and, as cheesy as it sounds, no matter how useless you are, I’m glad you are here.” “Aww, that’s sweet.” comes a voice from the cell next to yours. you both look over to see a muted blue unicorn stallion with a dark gray mane. “So it looks like we’re all in the same boat as it were. Can you believe they tossed me down here and didn’t leave me any books to read?” he says. “Who are you?” Daring asks. “Eh? Oh right. I’m Page Turner. Nice to meet you.” “Um... well, I guess... that would be alright, but... I kind of went crazy last time I was there...” Fluttershy mutters. “Oh, but of course I have, darling!” Rarity replies. “I’ve modeled my own work many times. In fact, I shall be modeling this time! After all, there are some dresses in my collection this year too, and I can’t ask you to wear those now, can I?” You pull on a suit of armor just in time, as the guard you distracted returns. “Eh? What are you doing in- you know what? Never mind, you think you can cover for me for a while?” You nod and the guard leaves. After you’re sure he’s gone, you begin searching the castle. Eventually, you find yourself in the tower, where you hear Celestia talking to somepony. you press your ear to the door, and you hear that he’s asking her to the Gala. That’s interesting. On your way out you pass a guard, who seems to have been standing outside the door. “That’s not true. It has the electric sound that reminds me of Vinyl...” she said, staring at her drink, “I guess it isn’t terrible, it’s just... Not for me. How many does that make now, Red?” she asks, indicating his drink. She picks you up, and hugs you tightly, then sets you down, “What do you mean, what now? You show me the cool thing, of course!” she says, smiling with her entire face. It seemed a little plastered, like she was hiding something. Thunder. Lightning. Blinding rain.. After nearly dying several times, you blunder out of the cloud, inches behind Gilda. “Oh, Halfy! You say the sweetest things!” Surprise replies. “Oh, hey, the karaoke stand is open! Will you sing for me now?” “How could you know that?” Chrysalis Demands. “Nevermind, you have done enough.” She turns away. “At least she did not put them in Tartaros like I feared she might.” She mutters. Luna steps forward. the guards part to let her pass. “This pony is with me.” she tells them, and they allow you to pass as well. the two of you go up to luna’s chamber, where you find yourself facing the largest Crystalvision screen you have ever seen outside of a theater, the thing dominates the entirety of one wall, and there is a very comfortable looking couch in front of it. Luna takes a seat on said couch and motions for you to do the same next to her. “Oh, uhh, okay. This here is Golden Delicious, and th’ pony next to ‘im is Red Delicious. Guess we could go over ‘n say hi,” he replies, walking to the aforementioned ponies. They seemed busy eating. “I wish to see your Cooking skill, so surprise me, If you will.” Zecora replies. looking at the ingredients with interest. Carrot top stares at it for a long moment. “Wow, It’s beautiful.” she says. she places it around her neck. “Thank you.” Dash looks over at you when you yawn. “Hey, this isn’t boring you is it? We can watch something else if you want.”

That is perfectly fine, I will add you to the List, and you can post in the main thread at your convenience. That would be interesting. Let's see how it goes! Added to the OP.

There is absolutely no rule against it. Morning Star Is currently dating both Celestia and Chrysalis, so If you want to start another parallel Date that would be perfectly fine, I just hope whoever your other date is is easier to write for. Just tell me which pony on the 'available' list you wish to date, and then link your character sheet. Alright folks, I promise to you all that I will have the replies ready within 24 hours of me posting this. Cross my hear and hope to fly, Stick a cupcake in my eye. You know I'm serious, one does not simply break a Pinkie Promise.

Well, I'm sorry to hear that. when you posted this last time i was quite excited to see you again, nevertheless, I wish you the best of luck. I'm not sure I like what you're insinuating...

You're right of course, the thing is that now I have to pick up the pieces of a thread that's got unreplied posts scattered across three different rounds of replies. as much as i'd like to move on after the ball went through the window, there's still some glass on the floor that needs to be swept up.

By 'Barely functional' I mean 'It works, but only just' The thing has a habit of breaking a lot more than I'd like. I do my best to keep things running as smoothly as possible, but sometimes things like last weekend happen, and then I have to do repairs before we can continue forward.

Okay folks, After the little Snafu with Meta being a little too helpful and me being a total Ass (Again, I'm really sorry about that), I'm hopeful that we can get things back to something that can pass for 'normal', and to that end, Pleas welcome the latest Cog in this barely functional clock of a thread! Eljordo Has graciously offered his time and energy to help with some of the more administrative aspects of the thread. From now on he will be in charge of making sure nopony's post accidentally gets left behind, as well as sending your your complimentary Boot to the Behind if you stay gone longer than a month without saying anything. What does that mean for you? well, It means less stress for me, and that means I'll (hopefully) be able to post better and more frequently. oh, It also means you have somepony else to complain to if something goes wrong.

(you know what? I'm an idiot. Here's the ONLY DAMN POST that needed to be changed. I am so sorry. I... I need a break. I'll get replies out... I dunno. sometime. tomorrow maybe, or the next day. I just don't know anymore, I don't know why you all even want replies from a jerk like me.) “I’m right here.” Stylus enters the room and falls onto the couch. “As for Your little stalker, I have no-” The doorbell Rings. “That’s probably her now. Oh joy.” Snare Deadpans. “You go to the door and open it, hoping against hope that it isn’t... “Hi Paradox!” Scootaloo says. “Sorry I’m late, I got held up, I just came by to tell you that I can’t stay, But you’re still gonna pick me up from school tomorrow right?” “Um, Scoots, about that...” you begin. she doesn’t seem to hear you. “”Kay, see ya then, gotta fly!” And just as suddenly as she arrived, she’s gone, buzzing away on that scooter of hers.

I did that already, and drama happened. Trust me, this is something I look forward to. If I didn't want to. I wouldn't.

<Sigh> okay Meta. I admit that I overreacted, and I know your heart was in the right place, but you kind of broke my story in a couple of places. also, for future reference, I NEVER post on Sunday. so from now on, if a post day falls on sunday, then that means i'm taking that weekend off. this brings me to the embarrassing part. Apparently The internet in my old hometown hates Google drive, so.... yeah, I can't access the doc. the good news is we're having Christmas at my place this year, so i'll be able to do it tomorrow.
