@Catpone Cerberus Sombra would take note of the display of Nightmare Moon's armor. He couldn't put his hoof on it - but he wanted it badly. Of course, Sombra wanted anything for himself badly, but this was a special prize to him. It was that of Nightmare Moon. The one who resisted Celestia. Sombra knew that he desperately needed to seek out allies. Building his own power can only go so far, and he could spend potential years here researching magic and it's modern history. Though, he knew that there would probably still be cultists who worshipped Nightmare Moon, so perhaps if he could seek them out and combine some of her armor into himself - he could be seen as the lesser evil and he could have allies who could help him take down Celestia. Una would have seen him staring at the armor somewhat, and he looked away. He would glance back to her and see that she too was almost transfixed by it. He'd keep mental note of that. If he was going to pull off a heist here, they were going to do it during the night time. A potential plan in his mind was to find the Museum guards, and brainwash them in order to get as much information out of them as possible. He'd gladly steal everything here for himself if he got the chance. He'd look to Una, "I suggest we split up to cover more ground. I'll be around. Meet back here in an hour." he would state, and if she agreed with him, he'd proceed to walk along the walls, acting like he was checking out the place casually - keeping note of what he sees.

In order by Distance, Rotation Period, and Orbital Period. This is a proposal for planets of the solar system according to my definition. Objects below 250 kilometers are not considered planets unless they have ring systems. The objects above 250 kilometers and located within the Outer Planets only include more widely known objects. There are plenty more, but exact specifications of them are not as widely known, thus they are not included (there may or may not be exceptions to this). This is as of 2022.

@Silverspark184 *hugs back*

The founders of the Equestrian Monarchy were King Helios and Queen Nocturne. After the two alicorns revealed their presence to the warring four tribes (Earth ponies, Crystal Ponies, Pegasi, and Unicorns), they showed the four tribes the concepts such as unity. You know how this story goes, the four tribes all agree and stop fighting and the Windigoes are banished by the power of friendship. Many years wear on, Canterlot itself is founded by the two alicorns of the Sun and the Moon. Many Equestrian things one can see today are constructed, such as the groundwork for the nationality itself. Although back then, it was a lot smaller. There were other pony tribes beyond Equestria, who were not convinced of the beliefs that the Equestrians had. Among other races were the dragons, rams, griffons, seaponies, centaurs, (who never had any relation with the four tribes), deer, and various other races. Eventually Equestria had a stable society, and the racial tensions between the four races had largely vanished. This was around 300 years after the founding of Equestria, and it took much trial and error. The King and Queen were revered by the populace, yet they were humble and generally wise. Equestria was stable, and united. That was until the dark, tyrannical ram known as Grogar would come to power over the rams, ruling over the nation of Ramhorn from the capitol of Tambelon. Grogar's family were murdered at a young age by evil ponies, and this broke his friendship with Starswirl the Bearded. The two of them were once best friends, one could say brothers. The two of them studied under their master, a dragon known as Melcade. Melcade taught them all various kinds of magic, geometry, physics, the whole works. The two of them planted opposite seeds, one of harmony, and the other of disharmony. This would lay the ground to the Ramhorn-Equestrian war, which resulted in a massive conflict where the Rams had stormed through Equestria and had appeared to have the upperhand. Grogar's dark ways had tempted the crystal ponies into switching sides and betraying Equestria. Their leader, Sombra, was a well renowned and revered scientist who was tempted by Grogar's dark ways years prior, who offered him much knowledge into the dark arts. In secret, Grogar would teach Sombra all of his abilities, and ascended him into Alicornhood in a series of dark rituals. When the time was right, Sombra revealed his true colors, and violently overthrew the leadership of the Equestrians over the crystal ponies, forging the Crystal Empire, when it seceded from the Equestrians the Crystal Empire declared their alliance with the Ramhorn Imperium and together, the two forces converged on Equestria. Starswirl himself would duel Grogar after he had successfully defeated the King and Queen using the power of dark magic (though he didn't have time to kill them as he wished), and using the elements of harmony (which Starswirl created), Grogar would be defeated and banished into the stars, becoming a constellation. After Grogar was banished, his armies were all scattered to the winds and surrendered, withdrawing themselves back into Ramhorn. After Sombra was aware of the defeat of his master, Sombra would surrender and make a truce with the Equestrian Monarchs, that he would withdraw into Crystal Pony lands and not make any further actions against Equestria in the future. After the brutal conflict, they were forced into accepting this, and his armies would withdraw into the Crystal Empire. The King and Queen would be able to recover from the dark magic, although their lives were very much shortened by this affair. Thankfully they had two young fillies, Celestia and Luna. 5 years after the conflict ended, they would give up their power to Celestia and Luna, after which the two of them would pass away. Starswirl would teach the two sisters about magic, and do his best to groom them to eventually be Equestria's monarchs. After the war had ended, the Imperium of Ramhorn would eventually collapse into infighting and civil war, and be carved up by the various nations around it, effectively ending any semblance of Grogar's rule, and in the carving up of Ramhorn, the Equestrians had managed to gain Tambelon itself. The Rams were not very fond of this, and would often have rebellions and uprisings, all of which would be put down. Perhaps one could say this was revenge for the war itself. As the years wore on after the Ramhorn-Equestrian war, Celestia and Luna would grow to become capable leaders in their own right. Starswirl would pass away at a very advanced age, leaving behind a mass range of magical spells and studies for those to follow in his name. Starswirl's advanced understanding of magic, and intentions for it to only be used for good was made most clear, and Equestria would open up a university dedicated to studying magic in his name. Equestria would experience two centuries of peacetime, and would grow to become even more influential in the world. With the affairs with the rams eventually settling down, granting them Equal rights around a century after the war had ended, would finally quash ram resistance to the Equestrian crown, and the Rams would assimilate into Equestrian society. Other races, such as the Dragons and Deer had Ram lands as well, and at the time, Equestria had treated the rams better than they did, so most Rams would end up assimilating into Equestrian society. As such, the two sisters maintained balance for their kingdom and all their subjects, the earth ponies, pegasi, rams and unicorns. Not only that but they protected them from many dangerous foes. Monsters, tyrants and brutes, all who would have no doubt destroyed Equestria and plunge it into chaos and despair, were all brought down thanks to their unity. But as time went on, the eldest sister grew fearful. For every foe the sisters faced, she worried that a new more powerful one would appear out of the shadows and the two would not be able to stop it. She was convinced only in the light of her day that they could perceive an upcoming threat. So one fateful day, the paranoid elder Alicorn refused to lower the sun to make way for the darkness of night, convinced it was the only way to forever save the kingdom from danger. The younger sister tried to reason with her, saying that the balance between day and night must be kept but the fear in the elder one's heart corrupted her into believing that she alone must rule Equestria and safeguard it. From this hubris she transformed her into a wicked mare of flame: Coronal Flare. She vowed that she would cover the land in eternal day, for no enemy could hide in the light. Reluctantly, the younger sister harnessed the most powerful magic known to ponydom: the Elements of Harmony. Using the magic of the Elements of Harmony, she defeated her elder sister, and banished her permanently in the sun. The younger sister took on responsibility for both the moon and the sun, a heavy burden to bear on her body as well as her soul, but the balance of peace and harmony was maintain in Equestria ever since.

I had an old ask thread here years ago but I decided to make a new one. So, go on and ask away!

@Blitz Boom @Illiad Easle Spiral would look to Memory, Briar and Brittle. She'd nod to them all respectfully and would make a motion to leave as well. It seemed as if their work was done for now - and Aurum was definitely in capable trustworthy hooves. "I believe our work is done here? We will report to the Consul and inform him of the situation. We'll be back, soon, but for now I think you all should just rest and lay back a bit." Spiral would walk up to Nexus, and give the filly a gentle pat on the head, before turning to leave.

@Catpone Cerberus Sombra would take note of the door as they would proceed around the place. Sombra was just getting a better mental map of things in his mind - and as they walked around, they'd walk by the display showing Nightmare Moon's armor. Sombra knew that his armor was apart of him - but perhaps he could combine some of Nightmare Moon's armor within it, somehow? He could modify his armor spell to make it fit, perhaps... As he walked about, he looked for anything that he could potentially steal for himself.

@Blitz Boom Spectra didn't make any small talk or conversation with the bartender. She would just appear calm - and neutral as she waited for him to make the beverages she requested. Spectra's appearance was that of a regular mare - if a bit more regal looking, if that was the right term. Spectra herself was from a far older time, enough time to where her body shape and stature may be slightly different if anyone cared to look close enough. Spectra figured that this barkeep had seen all sorts of personalities come his way - so she wasn't likely particularly notable to her. Her saddlebags remained at her side - her cutie mark of a well defined scroll with writing on it. Who knows if that was her real cutie mark, or not. Spectra would take the beverages in her magical aura - which had a distinct orange to yellow coloration. She took a moment to look at the drinks as if making sure they were what was listed, and they were. The Pear Current was definitely more her style though. The Scarlet Gutter was more fitting for miserable drunkards who wanted something to slam down their misery with. It looked and smelled rather terrible, though. At least those were her thoughts on the two drinks initially. Spectra would walk away from the counter, giving the bartender a silent nod in approval before walking off. Her gaze looked away from him as she began to look for Jade Eye. The bartender receded away into the background - perhaps Spectra would be in the background, in his eyes, soon enough. Spectra wasn't a talker. Right to the point. Spectra would take a sip of the Pear current as she'd look around for Jade Eye. She's savor the mellow taste as her eyes settled upon Jade Eye himself. As she walked up to where he was sitting, she would take in his appearance in. Definitely had seen many of battles, in his time. Upon Spectra being spoken to, her magical aura would take the Scarlet Gutter and place it down softly in front of him. She looked at him with a neutral stance that hardly portrayed any other emotion than calmness, a calm sense of confidence. Spectra wasn't the sort who would brutishly walk up and spill all her beans before him. "I figured I would find you here." she began calmly, giving him more of a chance to observe her features - that the Barkeep would have seen, if he so decided to take note. It were obvious Spectra were a mare he had never seen before. "If you would be so willing, to talk with me, that is." Spectra said, as she nonchalantly sipped from her beverage. =========================================================================================== Magloria would feel the pulsating waves of gloom wash over her as she would take a step further down the hill. By this point, they could see the tree line to the forest up ahead. It was rather loose at first, though the further one looked on the more clustered the trees were. It looked like hardly a soul ventured through her in a century, if ever. The sun glinted in Magloria's crystal armor as she steadied herself. Her cold grey eyes would seem to soften ever so slightly as she looked to Veil. Magloria herself reminded herself of her circumstances. Everything and everyone she had worked for and with was gone. Dust at the bottom of a history lesson, if she was lucky. It made her sigh slightly as she relented somewhat - processing Veil's words. "I was not so different - in my time." Magloria said, keeping the details vague. "Fine. You will help me. I have zero knowledge of modern affairs in Equestria. I surmise much has progressed, to where I haven't the mind to imagine what is considered normal here." she then looked away from Veil. "Knowing how much time has passed, there could possibly be a method to put you into a more...acceptable form. I know nothing, as I stated. I can only guess. First thing I will do is look for the authorities of Sugarville and find someone suitable, and capable of handing the vast information I seek to reveal." she stated, her formal expression returning, as she would lead the way into the forest that lay before them with confidence. Veil needed a lesson in confidence, but for now - Magloria was content with getting them into Sugarville. At least it should be relatively safe. At least they were now withdrawing into the cover of the trees - incase anyone had spotted them, they would have a hard time finding them as they were now obscured in the forest. Magloria would lead them off to the right, but making sure to keep her sense of direction. She wanted to go in less of a straight line, to throw off any potential pursuers. Who knows what Spectra had up her sleeve. Magloria wasn't taking any chances. Once the trees now fully surrounded them, Magloria would pick up the pace. She moved with steady strides, as if she has done stuff like this before. Magloria wasn't simply a normal innocent Equestrian mare. Her goal was to get to Sugarville as soon as possible.

Thinking about the very interesting dream I had this morning.

@Princess Silky @Silverspark184 @Sir Hugsalot Magloria was pleased that Silky was talking to her now, and gave her a slight glare. "No matter how far you get in the world - I always see you like this." Magloria spoke, pulling out a photo of a filly Silky playing in the snow alone. Silky might remember that - it was when Magloria taught her how to build a snowpony. "You were happy back then." Magloria turned away slightly. "...I was happy too, for once." she sighed, and put the photo back into her suitcase. "Then when you grew older, you began to question things - and I lost my control over you. I lost you. At least the you I wanted you to be..." Magloria would sigh again, looking down at her hooves. "I didn't do this to test your strength. I did this to get your attention. I knew your friends would be here, and I knew you'd want to be here, with them." Magloria's eyes narrowed again as she stood up straight and she pulled out a large silver bottle. "I did learn one from you, Star Silk." Magloria stated and smashed the bottle on the flow, and white magic began to flow over everyone in the room - curing them all of the Poison Joke within seconds. The magic was refreshing, after it all, her eyes would fall on @Silverspark184. Her eyes would soften slightly as she looked at the innocent little filly. She looked to @Nitobit @Skylight Scintillate and @Shiny Silvermoon. "Hmph." is all she said in regard, she didn't know those ponies and didn't really have an opinion on them.

@Blitz Boom Apologizes for slow activity, I am distracted by lots of things. I was running an RP event on the forum and I will be doing stuff with the World Cup. You are more than welcome to get involved in events on the forum, if you would like. As for this RP - I am hoping to portray this version of Magloria as more calm, reserved, distant - but not exactly friendly.

@Blitz Boom As Spectra left, she would think about Gronth. He seemed trustworthy enough - at least for this place's standards. She knew that if he duped any his customers, someone more powerful would come along and put him in his place. Though despite those thoughts she did not fully trust him. If Gronth had duped Spectra and there was some kind of confrontation that needed to be had? Spectra would definitely take care of him. Though, she did not want to think too poorly of someone who was instrumental in her goal for power. Spectra walked along quietly and observantly. Her casual eyes looked around but did not stare at anyone or anything in particular. Her plan was to merely blend in and not stand out. Even if she did stand out, she did not want to stand out in a "negative" way. At least, relatively speaking to their surroundings. When they arrived at the small floating Ship, Spectra would notice the confrontation between the two others off to the side. She'd only shoot them a glance before walking forward. It was a way to show that she didn't care what they were doing. They could murder each other over something petty and Spectra wouldn't step in. Now, if she was confronted for whatever reason - that would be a different story. Spectra did not want that to happen, though. As they moved onward towards the Bar, Spectra would simply glance to Operata. It was clear she wasn't in a particular talkative mood. She was thinking about what to possibly say. As they walked into the bar, Spectra would be greeted by the expected sounds. The loudness of it all, the chaotic nature of the bar at the far end with roudy unsavory types. Others silently passing whatever information along. Such places she's been into, many times before. Though not recently. Spectra would approach the bartender, looking up at the prices. "I would like to have some of that Pear Current, and Scarlet Gutter." she would say, calmly, as she would bring out the appropriate payment for both drinks. Spectra appeared calm, and controlled. (At the Base) Magloria would look to Veil, her eyes were cold but not exactly harsh. It was more passive, if anything? At least that is one potential interpretation of her expression. Magloria's expressions were hard to read. If anything it was apparent that she was a reserved and self-focused mare. Spectra was more energetic and talkative, while Magloria was straight to the point and left no room for small talk. "I am well aware of Canterlot, and the two sisters. Though, in a thousand years - much will have changed. That much is obvious." she said, glancing forward. "Element Bearers. Never have heard of anything like that. I will tell the authorities of Sugarville, regardless." Magloria spoke calmly, and once again looked into Veil's eye sockets. "When we get there - you are free to leave my side. I am not like Spectra, who will chain you to her side through lies and false promises. Follow me - and you'll risk being involved in potential danger that you may not be eager to handle. Choice is yours." Magloria said in a formal tone. "My suggestion, that if you decide to accompany me for now, that we find someone who can take you in. Where, or who, isn't my concern." she spoke, Magloria seemed like having Veil by her side was a liability. Perhaps she may need convincing? Or would Veil be accepting of this, and wish to find somewhere to settle down, peacefully and without the worry that this situation brings? Magloria didn't speak her name. She wasn't here to make friends. She was here on a mission of importance. And like that, she continued following the map. Eventually they'd reach the densely wooded and unpopulated forest at the base of the mountain. Magloria seemed to know what she was doing.

I am glad it's warming up here!

By now there is only one person I maintain distant relations with. The rest of my childhood friend contacts have been gone from my life for years.

I think the worst one was Los Angeles, for me.

Whenever I am alone, I frequently do so.

Feeling very good at the moment.

You should actually stick with it - instead of changing it every day. Why do you do that? *chuckles*

I hope you get a good raise soon!

@Nook Cranny @Silverspark184 @Sir Hugsalot @Princess Silky Magloria's unrelenting eyes would turn to look at Silverspark. She would look down at Silverspark, as she stood over her and looked down at the small alicorn. "She was my second chance at life - and I failed. You will never understand. Don't make the mistake of caring too much - because life will take them away." she shut her eyes, and turned away. Meanwhile, Discord would continue his antics. He'd transform into a washing machine and shake loudly for no apparent reason. Magloria didn't pay this any mind, though. She looked back to Vibrant.
