@Rikifive Just installed it, it is working good so far!

@Rikifive Am now using the latest update. I'll let you know if I see any bugs, looks pretty good though!

Feeling pretty good at the moment.

I am thinking about the current scenes in the story that I am reading.

@Illiad Easle Would Trixie and Spiral done anything else of note? I am not sure what to come up with for that.

Worst way to die? Literally being ripped apart by animals or people. I think I'd rather just die in my sleep.

I am thinking about the decisions I made today and I know I made the right ones.

@Ragland Tiger Suri lays down and seems to pout a bit, not seemingly fine with that but accepting it all the same. It felt strange to have someone there with her. Like Coco. "Well whatever it is...just don't mess with it from now on I would say. Fine, you can keep an eye on me...what should we do now?"

@Ragland Tiger Suri sighs. "Only slightly...but what did that do to me? Why do you even have something like this?" she asked, looking into Bluebell's eyes with curiosity. No malice was in her eyes at the moment, but she hungered for that knowledge.

I feel most affirmed in my personal choices and my decisions.

@Ragland Tiger Suri seemed thankful for Bluebell's help with the cold rag and smiled ever so slightly. Her hoof was soft yet Bluebell could tell she was hesitant for physical contact. Her eyes bore into Bluebell with a rather serious look across her face. "You mean to tell me you got this gem from the Tree of Harmony? I find that a little dubious if you ask me." she huffed. "But sure, let's say I believe you. What does it do?" she asked with a pained sigh, and a growl.

@Ragland Tiger Suri groans loudly after the Gem had shocked her. "Y-your Gem fell off the desk when I bumped it...and I grabbed it. What is this thing? Tell me now." Suri growled in pain, still delirious from the shock she just got.

@Ragland Tiger About half an hour after Bluebell fell asleep Suri quietly walks up to the gem and picks it up quietly. She smirks, thinking she could take this as a bargaining chip for Bluebell's loyalty perhaps. If not only that, but to also get a closer look.

@ExplosionMare The guards had understood what Starlight had spoken to them and would be sure to inform the two of them if anything important had came up. Rose Bridge stood there and watched as they left the guard station, honestly at a loss for words at what had happened today. He stood there and sighed deeply as he looked out over the streets of Canterlot. If anything, this was the most interesting day out of all the ones he can remember up to this point. Something he'd write about in his personal diary when he was off duty. The group of four ponies would walk along the street with Moonlight leading the way. She stayed silent for now, allowing the other two guards to answer Starlight's questions. Inside, Moonlight's mind was a roaring storm of anxiety but at least one major cause of it was lifted off of her shoulders. Still though, she couldn't help but feel as though there was a lot they had to solve. There definitely was, but it was occupying her mind. Especially with the thought of re-visiting her orphanage. Barrier Shield seemed a bit offput by Starlight's grandiose terms and sighs somewhat at that. "I suppose that is true, yes. You can consider it another line of work but before that I was just an average steel worker. Then I realized that instead of independent activities, working for the Guard and being a guard pays more. That's all." he spoke in fairly simple, down to Earth terms. Despite being a Pegasus he was a very down to Earth one at that. Prominence meanwhile would give Starlight a slightly serious glare as she pondered her thoughts. She knew something was very, very bad about this mare up until fairly recently. "I know a lot more than you'd think. I get very bad feelings from you, to put it lightly. However, if you are here and if you are on the...right path, then you won't have them anymore. I can just sense it. That's my talent, see?" she pointed to her cutie mark. It's Red Mandala, if Starlight looked close enough had the shape of an opened eye. Perhaps now she would start to realize why ponies value their talents so much. It gives them unique abilities and perceptions. Moonlight turns to the two guards guarding them and smirked somewhat. "You two aren't like the normal guards I would expect. Things around here must have changed." she commented. Barrier Shield turned to her. "I can't really say if they have. I've only been here for the past 5 months or so. I came from Cloudsdale. I got tired of the fast paced life and athletics. Nobody appreciated what I did, anyway. My family supported me though. I wanted to become a guard because I had something I felt like I needed to prove to the rest of those that never believed in me, back home. After all, there wasn't much use for my talent there anyways." he sighed, seeming to look down at the ground slightly in disappointment as he recalled his past. Prominence smiled at this, although it was a sad smile. "Things have changed. In many ways, although I can't exactly put a word to it - things have gotten better here. I've actually been here for two years at this point but I am seeking to become something more than I am currently, but positions haven't opened up yet for that." Prominence stated calmly. "...I can relate. See, I actually come from here. We are heading to where I was brought up. This...will not be easy for me. But one thing I'll say...is that I had a lot of talent but I just never really showed it." Moonlight shook somewhat, revealing that she was more emotional than she let on. Barrier Shield turned away, not wishing to pry into her personal life. Prominence looked on with sympathy but said nothing, as she didn't wish to add fuel to the fire so to speak. ------------------------------------------ The carriages soared through the air at great speed. The guard carriages were well known for being swift in delivering large amounts of guards to a given area. There were six total carriages. Three of them carried large compliments of guards who were especially trained and ready for any dangerous situations that could possibly arise. Those guards were fully armored and bore calm expressions as they had talked about what Afterglow had ordered them to do. Talk about what they were doing would likely be the next big thing at the guard barracks. Some of the guards were especially eager to prove themselves. Afterglow did some hoof gestures in the air to indicate how the guards were to land. They flew lower to the ground and landed in the opposite side of Ponyville from the Everfree forest where the temple was located. If there were any dangerous ponies there, it would be best for the guard carriages themselves to be as far from them as possible. Also, it was best that the guard's arrival in the town was to go un-noticed. They all exited the carriages and began to get equipment ready. Afterglow looked off into the sky, seeing that the sun was almost about to set. The time of the banquet would be starting soon. Knowing his own personal routine, he was always ready at least half an hour beforehand. Perhaps the ponies who were involved with the cult were the same. "Alright, everyone. I am going to be leading some of us into the Everfree Forest. It will be quite risky but we were all trained to deal with that should the need come arise. We know exactly where this Temple is. I am going to have you lot come with me." he gestured, pointing to most of the Unicorns, two Earth ponies, and three Pegasi to come with him. They all would step forward, the group would number in exactly a dozen. Looking to the others he thought for a moment. "The rest of you will patrol the town. If you detect any unwanted magic sources you have the tools to neutralize them. Write down everything you can possibly detail. I will be reviewing that after we detain those in the Temple. We will arrest them first and ask questions later. Interrogations and background checks will be done on them once we have them detained in their holding Cells. Again, to remind you all, we will be taking them to the South Wing Dungeons for assessment." he stated. "Alright, you can fan out and patrol the town. You have my complete authority to arrest anyone of the descriptions we have been given, that of which you all know. If you find anyone, bring them over here and lock them in the carriage until further questioning." he stated, before his eyes singled out one of them. "Laurel. I am going to need you to go off and find Princess Twilight. Inform her of our presence here. We will meet with her once, and if we confirm the rumors we have been told of. If we do, her and I will have a lot to discuss." he stated and everyone glanced to each other for a bit. Upon Afterglow giving the word, they all would split off. Afterglow's group would quickly begin proceeding off towards the Everfree forest along with their equipment. After only a few minutes due to their brisk paces, they would enter upon the path leading to the temple. Among the dark branches and uneasy feelings, Afterglow bravely lead the way. Soon enough the temple itself was spotted. Giving silent gestures, various guards would proceed and secure positions surrounding the temple. Their shielding and enchanted armor had protected them from any dark magics. The remaining guards who were lead by Afterglow proceeded into the temple. What happened next was up to fate to decide. ------------------------------------------ Celestia was standing on the balcony of the Canterlot castle. Her horn softly glowed a yellow hue with hints of golden radiance within as she gracefully looked out into the sky towards the west, the sun that of which was well on its way to set. With her magic, she gently guided the sun like an adult would with a child. Gently. Then all of a sudden, a scroll would appear next to her with a flash of green light. Was it another friendship lesson? Perhaps Twilight had learned something from one of her friends today. Upon opening the scroll, her gaze turned from grace to a serious one. "This is most serious. I hope that Twilight and her friends are okay..." she spoke to herself in a slightly worried tone. She knew that the guard had the situation under control. So she hoped.

@ExplosionMare It looks a little zoomed in maybe? Looks slightly different but it looks good.

@Kujamih Your writing has improved a bit. So congratulations on that. I think you should start working on proper punctuations - would give the reader a more enjoyable experience.

@Loud Opinion @Kujamih @Radiant Reindeer @Windy Snow Completely understandable. The lack of activity in the RP section makes me a little worried all things considered, but we'll address it if need be. I don't know if it's just me, but that's definitely something I have noticed. I definitely enjoy this roleplay, but it is best for you to focus on your responsibilities and getting things to be more orderly.

Very calm, more neutral if anything.
