  1. @ExplosionMare The Earth Pony would nod. "Alright, that sounds like a plan, Princess." she said respectfully. Rainbow Dash would go off to get Twilight and the other guards. Nightmare Moon notices the Earth pony has a calm grey coat with a blue mane and tail. Her cutie mark is some sort of wrecking ball with a star shape on it. This pony had a talent for leadership in the construction field. She was probably one of the organizers of the whole construction effort. Rainbow Dash had first went to Twilight, as Rainbow Dash was Twilight's personal guard that was assigned to her by Nightmare Moon. Twilight had finished up eating and was just cleaning up, she allowed Twilight to finish cleaning up and proceeded to have Twilight wait with the other guards by her room. It was an awkward silence for a minute or so as Rainbow went to go get the other guards from the barracks. Moonlight included. Upon locating more guards, they had all walked up to Nightmare Moon and were ready for the tour. Twilight was also there, they were all satisfied with the lunch they had and were in good spirits. Moonlight absently twirled her spear around in her magic in an intimidating fashion. She was the most intimidating of the guard. Standing next to her was the lieutenant, Afterglow Eventide. Afterglow was perhaps one of the most loyal of the guard and even had the Mare in the moon as his cutie mark among the stars. Then again, all of these guards were exceptionally loyal and ready to do whatever tasks needed of them. The Earth pony looked to the rather intimidating display of the guards in the castle there, there was probably around 20 guards right there. She would start by touring the throne room first and told them about how it was constructed. Nightmare Moon's throne was originally Celestia's throne but had been altered and changed using spells and crafting. It was a symbolic measure that Celestia was no longer in command and would never be in command ever again, and that Nightmare Moon was the true ruler of Equestria no matter what, as well as that Celestia was a false ruler. From the throne room they would walk the halls which were adorned in dark blue. Many tapestries hung from the halls with various scenes of the Eternal Night. A few windows would line the halls showcasing the exterior of the castle with the various gardens and fountains outside the castle. They would all see the water illuminated by the soft glow of the moon. They were shown various other rooms such as the large kitchen where Saffron Masala was the head cook that cooked delicious meals among the other chefs. It smelled absolutely amazing inside the kitchen and the layout of the kitchen was quite extraordinary. Moonlight took a few sniffs of this and was greatly impressed, so were the other guards and Twilight. Other areas such as the huge castle ball room, private bedrooms (Where Twilight's room was located), bathrooms, storage closets were shown. All of them were in great ornate detail. In every room there was at least one bust or small statue of Nightmare Moon. In the ball room and great hall (main area of the castle) there were huge skylights that allowed the Moonlight to shine down directly so that no interior lighting was needed. There was also the castle dining room which was where Nightmare Moon hosted her dinners with the castle staff, and the guards. The table was of a dark blue color with intricate designs on it as well as the seating. It was currently being buffed and cleaned by a few ponies so that it would look absolutely perfect at all times. The guard barracks was shown, with the bunkbeds of the guards lining the halls. Some other guards were currently sleeping away in their bunkbeds as they were off duty. The guard barracks was host to the castle armoury, the guard mess hall, and the classrooms for new rookie guards. Further up ahead was Moonlight and Afterglow Eventide's personal bedroom. This was not shown, but given by the double doors with both of Afterglow Eventide's and Moonlight's cutie marks eloquently intertwined on the great design of the door it was surely a most impressive bedroom. It was well known that Afterglow Eventide and Moonlight Raven were lovers but nopony ever spoke of it due to the fear of upsetting them. Other areas such as the large spa, sauna rooms, relaxation chambers and the various entranceways were shown. There were also a Nightmare Moon shrine room, in which there were various headbusts and artworks of Nightmare Moon that were shown on castle tours whenever commoners would tour the castle. Other areas such as guest rooms, and guest areas were also around too. The guest areas of the castle were completely segregated from the castle staff areas to show how superior the castle staff were over commoners. There were other areas as well that were shown, all were intricate and ornate. Finally, they had exited outside. The brand new sidewalks and castle gardens were shown. The garden behind the castle was quite amazing. A large statue of Nightmare Moon was calmly overlooking the fountains that reflected the moonlight in well designed ways. There were also the mushrooms that Nightmare Moon had set up earlier, among the various plants she had selected personally. Eventually, the tour came to an end. The mare that was leading the tour would have been answering questions from the rather impressed array of guards. Twilight would also ask questions about the construction methods and how it was all crafted, those questions were also answered. If Nightmare Moon wanted to ask questions, she could if she wanted.
  2. I am very sad right now, I think about the reason why my life is the way it is now. My grandmother died April 8th, 2011. We moved into her house, so we could own my father's family home. From time to time, I think of that. My grandfather on my father's side I never met since he died in 1982. My other grandfather died in 2012, I had some fond memories with him but one of the last times I pissed on a gift he gave me for...no reason and that is one of the last times I saw him.

    Everyone in this world suffers through loss, everyone hurts. Why can't the world be a kinder place, so that nobody would have to hurt worse.

      I wish people could be kinder too :(  Loss is always something to be taken seriously.

      Let me know if you need to talk about it or anything and we can talk on Discord.

      @ExplosionMare

      I am so very glad to have friends like you. You are worth more to me, than any IRL friend I've had really. I thank you for your friendship.

  5. @Steve Piranha *Rubs belly*
  6. @ExplosionMare @Loud Opinion Had a really good artist on here by the name of Prophet draw Magnolia.
  7. I like that they are relationship. It is so cute and lovely.
  8. I believe I was considered on the spectrum when I was young. It is entirely possible I have some degree of it, but I probably will never know. Don't plan on being tested for it, since even if I do have it, it does not affect me too much or if at all since I was only on the spectrum slightly when I was young. It may have changed since then. Who knows.
  9. @King of Canterlot South Dakota is a nice state and place to live! It is very pretty, has a low population and it will likely be a cheaper place to live.
  10. Feeling good enough, a bit tired since it is still the morning here.
  11. Ice cream with cool whip, it was a pretty big meal last night.
  12. @ExplosionMare Twilight nods to Nightmare Moon's command. She and the guards head off to the archives much to Rainbow Dash's dismay. She would spend some more time researching and uncovered that the fastest way to turn ponies into batponies is through dark magic. Dark magic will make the process go much quicker and have the desired effects of the caster. She wrote down some notes and collected some files on the spell. While dark magic will make it go much faster, it will only be slightly more tiring than the normal spell. With the better speed and process, a little more tiredness was likely worth it. Twilight would gather some more research based around this. The dark magic spell would come with some draw backs and would have to be re-applied to the ponies twice within an hour to make the spell take full effect. It's a failsafe if anything. Twilight noted that Nightmare Moon could tinker with this part and remove this part of the spell if she desired. But she warned caution due to the nature of the spell as this will be the first time this spell is in use so she believes they should cast it normally and see what happens before modifications are made. It took a while to locate these files. Likely Nightmare Moon was done with her lunch by now. Twilight looked to Rainbow Dash who was sitting around boredly as Twilight was reading. Twilight handed the books to Rainbow Dash and the notes. "If you could take these off to The Princess it will save me some time here. Everything she needs to know is in those notes, and in those books." Twilight said respectfully. Rainbow Dash slouched up and stretched. She yawned, as if tired of the whole situation. However she quickly stood to attention. "Fine. Go to your room and you may have lunch. You will be taken there by the other guards. They will be switching shifts, but I will not be." Rainbow Dash spoke rather coldly to Twilight as she took the books under her wing. Normally she would have denied Twilight's request but she too had some lunch to eat. Twilight was a bit taken back at this but didn't mention it. Rainbow Dash would split off from the group. The guards would take Twilight to her room and then the guards would change shifts. New guards stood at attention by Twilight's door while the other guards were heading off to the guard barracks to get lunch. Meanwhile, Rainbow Dash had looked for Nightmare Moon. She obediently informed Nightmare Moon of Twilight's findings, and handed over the books that were the key to the batpony spell. She informed Nightmare Moon that everything she needed was in those notes and books. Rainbow Dash wasn't too pleased with having to carry Twilight's books but considered it a good opportunity to get lunch after informing Nightmare Moon of this. After Rainbow Dash addressed Nightmare Moon, a construction pony would approach Nightmare Moon. She was an Earth pony mare and when given the chance would inform Nightmare Moon that the construction inside and outside of the castle was fully complete. She suggested the idea of giving Nightmare Moon and her staff a tour of the castle and of the new outside courtyard and other areas.
  13. @Catpone Cerberus I had a user named Prophet on these forums draw what Sparkly will eventually look like, but this doesn't have the wings. Its pretty grand.
  14. Quite enjoyed this episode. The backstory didn't make much sense. If they disagreed so much then either of them could have left the area but it was a good episode. I like how they had different colors for each family, but how did either family get founded? I guess the original founders just had family and friends come in. Twilight and Flutters were rather cute in this one.
  15. @Kujamih @Blitz Boom @Windy Breeze Cali frowned as memories resurfaced and covered Blitz's ears as she was hugged by Blitz. "I've fought enemies who have a specific power to nullify all of my magic. Trust me, you'll never figure it out. It is...something I can never dodge or undo. While my interdimensional enemies have that one trick up their sleeve, I was able to vanquish them once and for all. They had meddled in my affairs for the longest time. They have permanently wounded one of my friends, and threatened the lives of so many more and they only had one goal. My death. So I had to do what I had to do, and they are gone. Whether or not I actually destroyed them in entirety remains to be seen, but I believe I did enough damage to ensure they will not be returning to full capacity in the next few centuries." she spoke in a hushed manner so only Molotov could hear. Cali giggled at the joke that was made and listened intently to what he had spoke of. "What you say is of most interesting nature. I believe that could very well be the case but I am not from here so I do not know well enough to come to any reasonable conclusions. I do hope though, that at some point Dragons, Ponies and others can unite under one banner and be equals. Maybe then, you will find answers for that." she smiled somewhat at that. "In my world there are legends of various civilizations that once existed. Atlantis, Lemuria, Mu, and Hyperborea. Atlantis is the most well known. Legend has it, anywhere from a million to 12,000 years ago Atlantis was a hyper advanced civilization. They were fairly utopian, and had access to various things like levitation, teleportation among other advanced technologies. They were perfectly harmonious and peaceful until they grew corrupt or mad with their power as time went on. Their hubris lead them to be struck down by the gods, and sunk beneath the waves of the ocean in a single night." Cali mused. "Of course there are no gods, so they struck themselves down by their own hand in all reality. Many unexplained ethnic groups exist around the world, I believe they come from Atlantis." Cali said with beleif in her words. "Now, there are even older artefacts that modern science has disregarded. Such as a hammer found in rock fossilized over 200 million years ago. To give you a time scale, each day times 30 is roughly a month. There are 12 months in a year, and multiple that by 200 million. That is the time scales we are talking here. The Earth itself is 4.6 billion years old, so plenty of time for civilizations to rise and fall to the sands of time and leave behind little evidence as it would be eroded away by geological processes." she would say and laugh knowingly as something reached her thoughts. "Even evidence of civilization on other planets and moons is proven and verified, but again disregarded. Such as pyramids on the planet Mars, structures on the moon, unexplained towers and other such constructions. Whatever existed previously was interplanetary and most monuments on Earth from the ancient days are all aligned with various constellations and stars, so whoever was around previously did all of that with clear intent and there is clear connection between the styles of building across various worlds in my home solar system. This is a story that goes farther back than merely humans themselves." she said, as she spoke all this she definitely believed in all of what she was saying. Cali giggled at how innocent Blitz was being. She would reach down and gently rub Blitz's head. "Blitz, whatever you do I want you to promise me something. Be careful. While you are young and should be allowed to have fun, just be careful and listen to Molotov. But, you are just so adorable in a dangerous way. Kinda like I was in a way." Cali giggled at this and comforted Blitz more with her soft hooves. Cali grinned knowingly. "Sure I am staying, Molotov! I ain't been anywhere else more lax and happy than this dimension. Its like being in heaven. Why would I want to go back where I am from or possibly end up somewhere worse? Staying with you would be interesting but I have a lot of gold bars and money I could use to buy a fairly sizeable mansion as I go and mingle with the upper classes in your society. Maybe not in this town, but if this town has large places for sale then I might just be game. I know I can be a little show offy at times, but I can be stealthy too and nobody will know anything about me due to my shapeshifting." she spoke with conviction and happiness in her words. She truly was happy here, and wouldn't change anything about it.
  16. Excellent episode. I found it lovely and amazing. The song is one of the best in the series if I am honest. Saffron's character is utterly adorable. Good lesson to, do what you enjoy, don't do what others do if it doesn't make you happy. Be you. Be weird, be independent, and you might just succeed far more than anyone else. I like how Zesty Gourmand storms out at the end, rejected by the very consumer base she wished to impress. Maybe if she just tried, she would be happy. Cute mare here btw.
  17. @Blitz Boom "With what you say we will have to account for that and do a mass scale draining in my opinion. I don't know much about this. Perhaps I could find a way to drain off of others ina more passive nature, or in a non-invasive manner. Perhaps not. We will see. Depends..." Magnolia mused. Magnolia truthfully didn't know much. In her opinion draining the magic from ponies was more useful due to the effects it would cause potential enemies, and the variety of magic she could pull from. It was useful in not only that way, but the magic was far more focused and refined to provide her with more power. With that, however she'd hush up and move on. They had other more pressing matters. Magnolia would smile somewhat wearily at the older stallion. "Thank you for the direction, for little have given me." she'd say with a sad smile, and would do a little wave off to him as they left. That might have provided him with a little more to report to Scarcity with how cryptic or alluding it may seemed. But Magnolia meant well. Magnolia would follow Zeehva to the inn quietly and lament upon its rather interesting features. Not exactly the most inviting but hey, she wasn't from here so maybe this was more inviting than it had let on. She would enter in and look around seeing a few ponies about. However, she noticed that stallion was open. She'd lead Zeehva up to him and wasn't sure if he was the one who took room orders. If he did or didn't, she would walk up to him. She would awkwardly speak, "Uhm. One room please? For my friend and I. I don't know how this works, we aren't from around here." she'd speak, but he'd notice how well kept her mane, coat and tail were. They conveyed a sense of beauty but her eyes conveyed tiredness.
  18. @Illiad Easle @flurry @abrony-mouse "To the victor, go the pride." she'd say to the others. Suri would hold onto the sled and make sure that her filly companion was stable and held on tight. With her back legs, she dug her hooves into the ground and then launched the sled down the hill at a fast rate. She had a rather wide smile across her face.
  19. @ExplosionMare "You convert small shrubs or plants into them. The bigger you want the mushroom, the larger the spell. According to my research, you think of the color you want the mushroom to be and it will end up that way. It is not a particularly complex or costly spell unlike the other spells we have previously discussed." Twilight would reply intelligently without hesitation. Twilight would present the books she had gathered the research from. It was about 5 books, but they were fairly large books that looked rather ancient. She handed them over to the princess in case she wanted to study them in great detail. With that, Twilight had concluded the handover of the notes and materials she had gathered. It was a lot of research, Twilight was slightly tired but unlike Celestia, she was no longer doing specific tasks for a reward or 'grade', she was just doing them for the sake of research and retrieval. It was far less exhausting and time consuming than her studies had been under Celestia. Twilight would await for Nightmare Moon's response and for any further orders as Twilight was not sure what she was doing next. The guards stood there straight, tall and doing their duty perfectly.
  20. @Catpone Cerberus Sparkly hugged back. She rubbed her face into Frail Spark's mane, curious to see how it would feel. She tapped her wings and felt them. That way, she was able to move them a bit. She stretched her wings, and then wrapped her wings around Frail Spark. It probably felt interesting to hug a princess, even if it was a clone. "You are so soft, frail spark." she would say and patted Frail Spark's sides. She knew Frail Spark was real, without a doubt. "All of what you say we should look into, however you...have a style to your mane too. Perhaps you can help me style my mane and tail a bit. Make it look different than it is now. That is a start." she would state warmly. "Was more or less referring to actual changing the color permanently through a spell, not illusion magic. At the very least, using dyes or color changing shampoo if thats a thing here. You said you have friends here, correct? Maybe you know someone who knows more about this than either of us. Alternatively, we can look into it. Do research." Sparkly suggested, but was hoping to do so anyways.
  21. @Cursed-Fate Interesting art! I notice you have discord. I'd like to see you on discord sometime.
