Skylight Scintillate

Starlight nodded. "I know how intimidating it can be to try to adjust to all these changes. I was in a similar position myself. And I know how important it can be to have a friend who can help you adapt. And don't worry about the kites. I always bring plenty for my friends to fly." "Looks like the weather today is perfect for flying kites. It's a warm day, sunny skies, with a light breeze," Starlight remarked as she laid out several kites for everypony to choose. The kites ranged from simple to complex. Some of them had complex three-dimensional geometric shapes, while others were shaped and coloured like animals. However, all of them were coloured in vibrant colours. Once everypony had selected their kites, Starlight and Twilight helped each other launch their kites. Flurry would offer to help Cozy launch hers. "Are you familiar with flying kites? Do you need help getting your kite into the air?" Flurry Heart offered to help. If Cozy needs an explanation of flying the kite, Flurry would explain. "So what you gotta do is you gotta roll out the kite line while keeping he line taut so the kite can catch the wind. You do it with your back to the wind. And then your partner lets go and voila, it's flying!" Flurry Heart explained.

Starlight would help Cozy finish her schedule with her choices. "Alright, looks like your schedule is complete! Normally, students make all their choices for both halves before the school year starts, but due to your unique circumstances, I think it's better if you choose the rest of the classes later." Starlight would give one copy of the schedule to Cozy Glow and file the other away for reference. She would then attempt to file away the rest of the huge pile of papers on her desk. "You know, I wish there was a more efficient way to organize all this information..." Starlight pondered. Starlight thought for a moment before replying. "Uum, not that I am aware of? But I will be flying kites with my friends in a few minutes once school is over. Would you like to join?" Starlight asked. If Cozy Glow didn't have anything else to ask or do, (or she didn't want to fly kites right now) Starlight would lead Cozy out of her office just as school ended, grabbing a few kites to bring along for everypony. Somehow, Starlight managed to find Twilight, Flurry, and Luster among the hallways filled with students. Flurry had a huge smile on her face, and Twilight seemed pleased. Meanwhile, Luster had her face buried in a book. The quintet made their way to an open meadow where everypony could start flying their kites. There, Flurry would immediately offer to help Cozy Glow set up her kite even without being prompted.

Twilight and Skylight nodded before Twilight spoke up. "Yeah, the changeling culture was dominated by Chrysalis for so long; once she was gone, the changelings had a lot to figure out for themselves. I wanted to come here to help them through things." "That could be a possibility, but I cannot be confident on that. I'm not the most familiar on changeling biology," Twilight explained. "As for whether he decides to have a pupil, well that's for him to decide. I don't think there is much more to see here at this construction site. Is there anything else you want to do?"

Some comments about recent posts I think I should explain in here in OOC: In an earlier post, I forgot to write in Tierk, but I decided to write the next post as though Starlight had slipped up in character as well. For the robotics class, part of me wondered whether it made sense to have such class available given that I intend the technology level of the roleplay to be roughly equivalent to the 1990s IRL. I summarized the course offerings in the roleplay, referencing current-day course offerings at high schools. However, that meant that some classes in the list I was referencing would not have existed in the 90s. I ultimately decided that maybe it would fit best if it was a new class that was just introduced.

"Ok that looks good. So elective classes are half a year long compared to required classes, which are a full year. Most students take two or three electives for each half. Feel free to create your schedule with this," Starlight explained. "Ah the robotics class. That was just added this year. I know quite a lot of students are interested in it. We'll have to see if there is space and if it fits in your schedule. It takes place in the engineering classroom, and you will be building a machine that can do various tasks, and then you will give instructions to the machine through a computer." "Who is the teacher? Uh let's see," Starlight would pull out a list to check before continuing. "Uum, it's Tinker Twinkle. I don't think you have him before. This school has grown a lot recently, so a lot of changes have occurred. However, I heard you're familiar with Sandbar. He currently teaches the marine biology elective here. I'm not sure if you have the required prerequisites though..." "We don't have chess classes, but there is a chess club here at the school. Feel free to explore the wide variety of student activities here," Starlight suggested. She would encourage Cozy Glow to finish her schedule with the information she provided.

Starlight seemed quite annoyed by this. "I think he has caused enough trouble already. Scaring or harassing the general populace, or Twilight Sparkle, isn't acceptable. Not to mention the stunt he pulled pretending to be Grogar. Due to what he did as Grogar, he is considered an accomplice in your crimes. In addition, the way he manipulates and uses others does not embody the values of friendship," Starlight criticized. She tried to keep her voice level yet stern, yet it was clear the draconacus really frustrated her. "Hold on, give me a moment," she would say once the pair were ready to move on. She would take in a deep breath and hold it for a second before exhaling slowly, moving her forelegs as a part of her calming process. "Ok, everything else is in order?" Starlight would ask rhetorically as she collected and skimmed over the papers Cozy Glow filled out. Starlight seemed relieved to move on to a subject she would much rather talk about. "Ok, let's move on to the schedule. I think this is the more exciting part. So if you look at your schedule, you see that I already put in your first year intro to friendship classes. As for the other requirements, like Ponish, Equestrian studies, maths and sciences, well you had already taken almost a full year with us, so I put you in second year at this level. Core requirement classes have different levels to meet, yet challenge students where they are at. I think this level is the best for you for these subjects," Starlight would point to the classes she recommended from the course reference book. "See if you feel like you have a clear grasp on the class's prerequisites. If you don't think my recommendations are the right fit for you, we can change them. And if we don't agree, I can give you a test on that subject to determine." Starlight would encourage Cozy to take a look at the reference book and see where she fits in the core classes listed. Once Cozy Glow finished with the course requirements, Starlight would be able to list the electives. "Ok, so you have a few spots left in your schedule. you can fill them with electives. We have a lot of them, so I will sort them into categories. For art classes, we have art, ceramics, and photography. For music, we have choir, orchestra, band, jazz, and music theory. Basically something for every kind of musical instrument out there. For theatre, we have acting and costume design. For technical classes, we have carpentry, culinary arts, architectural drafting, graphic design, and visual media arts. For physical activities classes, we have personal fitness, rock climbing, dance, aquatic activities, and the rest cover just about any other sport that is played frequently in Equestria. For technology engineering, we have robotics, engineering design, electrical engineering, and mechanical engineering. In addition, this list is quite general. For most of the arts, music, and physical activities classes, there are options to for specific cultures and species as well. So as you can see, we have a lot of classes. It turns out the School of Friendship is super popular with students. Who knew?" Starlight explained, flipping through the pages of the book to point to the classes she was referring to. "Any questions?" Starlight asked as she let Cozy Glow take a look at the book and read the class descriptions.

"...Cat-ponies?" Speckle stared at the other two in confusion as she tried to process what they just said. She had never thought about things that way before. However, their reasoning seemed sound. "Huh, that actually kinda makes a lot of sense! That's kinda cool!" She chirped. Like the previous course, Speckle started slower at first. The course was definitely more challenging than the previous one, especially since a lot of the obstacles blended in a lot more. With that, it was tricky to simultaneously keep track of thestrals with the scarves she was trying to chase down while keeping track of and avoiding the obstacles. However, Speckle liked the challenge. It made it engaging and fun. Unless the older thestrals were intentionally going easy on her, she would attempt a few times to close the gap with one of them. However, each time, she would have to sharply and abruptly maneuver away at the last second to avoid crashing into an obstacle. "Wow, this is challenging! But fun!" She remarked to Starlight as she caught her breath. "I don't seem to be able to get close without being forced to turn away from an obstacle. Got any tips?" "I think we should take one of them down together. Maybe it's just me not being that familiar with this course, but it feels like when I'm the only one chasing one of them, they have too many options to maneuver away in a way I can't follow. I think both of us going after one of them should limit their options more? And maybe that would be enough to touch ther scarf?" Speckle thought out loud. She would then turn to Starlight to hear her ideas.

If I had a loonie for every MLP RP where a character suggested that bat ponies could be cat ponies, I would have two loonies. Which isn't a lot, but it's weird that it happened twice. lol

"Erm, did I forget to mention Tierk? If so, then Tierk is on the list as well. As for why Grogar is on the list, well we are just trying to account for all possibilities," Starlight explained. She blushed as she tried to rectify her slip-up. "Do you have any further questions?" "Well none of these characters mentioned, including Tierk, should be interacting with any of us or anybody at this school. They are either still in stone or they have their own agreement about avoiding interactions. This was made specifically for you to help you reintegrate after being turned back to life from stone. Interacting with any of the names mentioned, including Tierk, would excessively complicate things, in addition to creating problems for everypony involved. Look, I believe in second changes, and even third chances as well. I wouldn't be where I am today without them, but as headmare of this school, I have an obligation to keep every student and staff member here safe. I hope you understand, " Starlight explained. If Cozy Glow didn't have any further questions, Starlight would collect the agreement once Cozy Glow signed it and then point to the form for personal information for her to fill out. "This form is all the information we need to know for you to attend here as a student. Every applicant here fills it out when they apply, and this form is the same as the ones all the other applicant fills out. It's the usual stuff, like name, age, species, gender, address, etc..." Starlight explained. "Huh. I know Flurry Heart is always mentioning what she is up to. I suppose I'm just wondering what she invited you to do," Starlight elaborated. She paused for a moment before continuing, “Well, there actually is another reason I asked. I can help suggest electives based on your interests. I guess I could also list some electives if you’re not sure.” If Cozy Glow didn't have any questions while filling out the personal information, Starlight would then collect and review it before moving on to the schedule. She would slide a partially filled-out schedule across the desk to Cozy Glow, then pull out a book of classes and open it. "Ok so here's your schedule. I already filled in your required friendship classes, which are the hooves-on classes that this school is known for. We also have requirements in the more traditional academic subjects, but since you have already taken some classes with us before, you have more choices for which class you want to take to fulfill a specific requirement. Also, I know that some requirements here might already be fulfilled. Refer to the book of classes and requirements here to create your schedule. Finally, once all the requirements are filled in, you can complete the rest of your schedule with any class you are interested in. We have a ton of electives here," Starlight explained. If Cozy Glow flipped through the book, she would notice that she was signed up for the intro classes for the subject of friendship. The book was split by subject. Within each subject, there would be a few intro classes listed. This was followed by a wide variety of more in depth classes, which often had prerequisites.

Yeah that sounds good. I'm looking forward to hearing your ideas.

Hmm, here’s what I’m thinking. I think that the two characters should have a kind and gentle yet casual friendship. Not as close as the friendship between Skylight and Twilight, but still kinda close. As for what kind of story to tell, I would be interested in doing some kind of adventure, potentially including Twilight Sparkle as well. Personally, I quite like adventure stories as well, because it gives something to drive the roleplay forward. I would be most interested in an adventure where Skylight can be cute and adorable. I don’t have any specific ideas for what kinds of plots that might be. I wonder if you have any specific ideas for adventure roleplay plots?

"Uh-huh," Starlight replied, unamused that Cozy Glow brought it up. "Though I hope you know, or will learn and understand, why what you did was problematic." Starlight laid out a stack of papers in front of Cozy Glow, along with a pen. "Ok, this packet is an agreement that by attending this school, you won't hurt other students, commit felonies, drain all the magic from Equestria, or start a revolt, a riot, a revolution, or a coup against the school, the princesses, or the elements of harmony. I hope you understand why all of these are crimes," Starlight explained as she spun her forehoof unamusedly. "However, also note that we don't want you interacting with Discord, Grogar, Sombra, or Chrysalis while attending this school. Finally, you are not allowed to steal Twilight's friends. Any violations of these could get you expelled from the school. Make sure you understand it fully before signing. If not, ask me to clarify." "This packet of forms is for you to fill in with your personal information. This form is everything we need to know about you in order for you to be a student here. So just fill that out. It's all the usual stuff, you know, name, age, address, parental information, health information, etc..." "This is your class schedule. Once you have completed the other two parts, I will help you create your schedule. Some classes are requirements, but for a lot of classes, you can choose what you want to take. I will elaborate on it once we get there." "Finally, once everything else is satisfied, I will give you these saddlebags, which contain the basic school supplies for here," Starligh explained, pointing to each of the papers as she went. She finished by pointing to a pair of saddlebags with the School of Friendship emblem as its buckle. "Really? What activities are those?" Starlight asked, glancing at Cozy Glow interestedly.

I am a little bit stuck on where to go from here. IMO I feel like it would be a little weird to roleplay the characters roleplaying. IDK, what do you think?

Dusk’s laugh caused Skylight to smile in reply. “Yeah I feel like they are kind ponies. Though that makes me wonder, how you say you have a connection with Princess Luna, but what’s your connection with Princess Celestia like?” Skylight asked. “Aww thanks, and you are as well!” Skylight replied. She would embrace the hug for a few moments longer before slowly letting go. However, the smile remained on her face. “Ooh, we could do a princess tea party with plushies, or we pretend we are princesses going on some crazy adventure, or we could play party pack games!” Skylight would suggest numerous ideas for things they could do. Whichever idea the three of them agreed on, Skylight would embrace the light hearted fun of the activity.

"I guess we could do that," Luster Dawn sighed. It seemed she wasn't enthusiastic about the idea. "Alright, here's what we're going to do. I'm going to lead you to Headmare Starlight's office so she can get you registered. While you are getting everything sorted out there, I will inform the students and the staff here about you joining," Twilight explained. "Oh, can I help you? Maybe we can split up the explaining. I can explain to the students, and you can explain to the staff since this school is so large," Flurry Heart chimed in. "That sounds like a plan," Twilight answered Flurry before turning to Cozy Glow. "Any comments, questions, objections? If not, let's go." "Looks like I'm not needed here. I'm just gonna study here unless somebody kicks me out..." Luster said, sitting down at the teacher's desk and pulling out her study materials with a flash of magic. Unless Cozy Glow had something else to say, Twilight would lead the way to Headmare Starlight's office while Flurry Heart split off to talk to students. As the pair made their way through the halls once more, there would be more staring and whispering as the students saw Cozy Glow pass by. "Twilight!" Starlight greeted with excitement as Twilight entered through the door. The pair hugged each other before Starlight continued. "Back so soon?" "Yeah, so it turns out Cozy Glow wants to reapply to our school. I think we should get Sunburst here so we can discuss things between the three of us." With a flash of magic, Sunburst appeared, and a sound-blocking magic bubble appeared around the three of them before they started talking. Cozy Glow wouldn't be able to hear what they were talking about, but she could tell that they were talking from seeing their mouths move. If Cozy Glow looked around the office during that time, she would notice that it was primarily composed of pastel purples. Large windows lined one side of the room, and on the opposite side were several bookshelves. There were plenty of potted plants placed throughout the room and several kites hung from the ceiling. After several minutes of what appeared to be back and forth, the trio nodded together. Sunburst teleported away with a flash of magic, and the bubble dissipated. After that, Twilight would leave the office while Starlight gestured to Cozy Glow to take a seat at her desk. "Hello Cozy Glow, let's get you registered. What do you hope to learn here?" Starlight asked as she pulled out tons of papers using her magic. She gave Cozy a gentle yet slightly nervous smile.

"I go to the School of Friendship!" Flurry Heart exclaimed. "If you join, then we can be classmates and friends! And we can do all kinds of interesting activities together! Like zip-lining!" Flurry Heart exclaimed. "So, would you be interested in joining?" Flurry Heart asked, glancing at Cozy Glow eagerly. Luster Dawn rolled her eyes at this when Twilight wasn't looking. "Well I don't go to the School of Friendship. I go to..." Luster Dawn paused to puff her chest out with pride "...Celestia's School for Gifted Unicorns. Only that school teaches the most advanced magic, science, and technology," Luster Dawn boasted. "Show off..." Flurry Heart mumbled under her breath. "Flurry, Luster, I know that you both go to different schools, and both of you think your school is better, but please don't fight about this. I love both schools, and I love both of you," Twilight said to her two pupils. She then turned her attention to Cozy Glow. "Yes, it is true that my two pupils here go to two different schools, with Flurry going to the School of Friendship, and Luster going to Celestia's School for Gifted Unicorns," she replied, pointing at her two pupils sitting beside her with her two wings. "They think they are subtle when they try to fight each other over various things like this without me noticing. I notice. I just try to not let it upset me." "But back to you, Cozy. You wouldn't be able to apply to Celestia's School for Gifted Unicorns, but you can reapply to the School of Friendship. However, I didn't bring the option up to you right away because the students here would know about you and your history. I think that there is an important friendship lesson to keep in mind when deciding to apply here. In fact, consider it your first one, from me to you. Here is a notebook and a pencil," Twilight said as she pulled out a notebook and pencil with the School of Friendship emblem from the supplies drawer and handed it to Cozy Glow. "Students at the School of Friendship are going to be aware of you and what you did. We are not going to change what we teach here if you choose to attend because we must always strive to be objective and transparent. While we will intervene if any student harasses or bullies another student, it is up to the other students to decide whether they forgive or trust you. Some students will choose to never forgive you for what you did. Other students will forgive you, but won't trust you. Others still will forgive you and trust you. In order for other students to trust you, they must first forgive you, both of these are dependent on what you do and how they view you. Should you choose to reapply to the school, I can give the other students a speech. However, what you do matters a lot more than what I say. Keep this in mind as you decide what you do here," Twilight explained to Cozy Glow.

Skylight giggled as she gladly accepted the napkin from Dusk. While she could wipe the tomato remains off of her face, the smile remained. "Oh my, that sounds... dramatic," Skylight replied. Skylight thought for a moment before replying with a small smile. "I'll consider it. As long as the royal sisters don't turn me to stone for doing so. Or banish me to the moon. Or turn me to stone and then banish me to the moon." Upon seeing the invitation, Skylight would eagerly and excitedly Dusk, wrapping her forelegs and wings around the other alicorn. "It's so nice to see you back," she exclaimed. "Yeah there's all kinds of fun things I'm into. What do you want to do?" Skylight asked.

@Illiad Easle “Well um, I’m pretty sure they do have archery in Canterlot, but I never really looked into it there? They don’t really have fishing though.” Speckle replied, making a vague gesture with her forehooves. “That’s kind of cool that archery is from the pegasi though.” Speckle nodded in excitement at the idea. “Yeah I would love to try that!” She exclaimed. “Though I do wonder something. When it’s harder to see the branches, do you use echolocation to know where they are, or are you able to fly just fine just by seeing them?” Speckle asked. “Ooh, what’s that? It sounds fun!” Speckle asked, this thestral’s suggestion having peaked her interest. Speckle would ask a few questions to clarify any rules as the game was being explained to her. Once she understood, she would express her interest in playing the game as a hunter.

"Electricity comes from hydroelectric dams. You know the rivers you see flowing down Canterlot Mountain in addition to various other locations? By building a dam along the river, you can control the flow and store the water as potential energy. To turn this potential energy into electricity, it is directed through a channel in the dam that you can control. In the channel, there is a turbine that the water spins, which converts its kinetic energy into electrical energy," Twilight explained. "Hmm, I don't know who specifically, but I suspect anypony or other creature that is willing to give you another chance?" Twilight suggested. "Before I answer that, let's find someplace a little more private," Twilight replied. She glanced around the campus, and upon seeing an empty classroom, she led the way towards it. Once the group was inside and Twilight closed the door for privacy, she continued. "Well when you asked to take a look around here, did you just want to take a look around, or did you intend on reapplying to our school?" Twilight asked. "Because your intention here would affect my explanation to others," Twilight explained.

Skylight gasped in surprise and excitement as Dusk suddenly reappeared right where she had left. "Yay, Dusk, you're back!" She went to hug Dusk before abruptly pausing as she suddenly remembered something. "Uuh, Dusk, do you like hugs? Twilight and I love hugs, but I want to make sure it's ok with you before I give you one," She asked, her face shifting to a cautious expression. "It's nice to have you back," Twilight replied as she refilled her teacup from the pot. "Wait, you were summoned by the royal sisters because they were fighting over pastries?" Skylight tried and failed to stifle a laugh. "It sounds like they are really possessive of their pastries. Tough what's a moonberry tart? I don't think I have heard of that before?" "...Hiding vegetables?" Twilight and Skylight asked, glancing at Dusk in confusion. "I mean, I know I was talking about magical asparagus, but hiding vegetables could be fun as well!" Skylight exclaimed. "How would that game work? Ooh, what if I like shout the name of a vegetable and point at where I want it to hide? Like this? Tomato!" Skyllight shouted in excitement as she pointed at the chandelier above them. A tomato appeared in the light fixture, and then, in cartoon humour, it fell, impaling on Skylight's horn. This caused Skylight to break out in laughter as a bit of tomato juice ran down her face. "Or maybe it's like hide and seek with vegetables, where we take turns hiding vegetables and trying to find them?" Twilight nodded with a smile. "It's basically playing pretend, where the game and its rules are made up as we go along. Sometimes we use our alicorn magic to make things more interesting though. I find it a really nice way to unwind," Twilight explained.

Twilight nodded in reply. "Yes, that is a trolleybus, and the vehicle takes energy in the form of electricity from the wires above. You might have noticed wires above the tracks of the train we were on, as well as for the tram in Canterlot. It's a pretty similar situation here," Twilight explained, pointing to the trolleybus. The other three glanced over to where Cozy Glow was pointing. However, by then, the pony was long gone. "Hmm, that sounds like Pinkie Pie. It appears she is no longer there, so I'm not sure what happened though. I suspect that she is going to try and throw a party for you," Twilight explained. "Ugh, I hate parties..." Luster Dawn muttered under her breath. "Well you're with us, so as long as you don't start some trouble, you should be fine," Flurry Heart explained. It didn’t take long for the group to walk to the School of Friendship. Glancing around, the campus appeared to have grown significantly as well. The campus had much more buildings than before, and they perfectly matched the theme of the buildings from before. There were lots of students of all different species and races hanging around in the campus courtyard, chatting with each other and participating in various student activities. Unfortunately it seemed that the groups that noticed Cozy Glow quickly made her the focus of their conversation. “…Is that who I think it is?” “…What is she doing here?” “Why is she with Headmare Twilight? Do you think she is being given a second chance at the school?” ”I hope she doesn’t try to do something totally evil like drain magic from Equestria or take over Equestria or manipulate others…” ”Oh no, she’s not going to steal all of Headmare Twilight’s friends, is she?!” The students whispered to each other. While Cozy Glow would probably have trouble trying to pick out individual conversations among the crowd of students, she would notice the not-so-subtle glances and hoof pointing when the students thought she wasn’t looking.

Skylight pouted. "Going so soon?" she asked. "We were just getting to know each other. But uh, what Celestia wants from you must be super important for you to go. See you next time, I suppose," she replied with a sigh. She seemed to deflate as she said this, the excitement that had been gradually building up until now dissipating in a moment's notice. A minute after Dusk Haven disappeared with a shimmer of magic, Twilight returned with a tray of sandwiches, scones, and pastries to continue the afternoon tea. "Ok I'm back- Where's Dusk Haven?" She glanced around the room in surprise and confusion. "She had to leave. It felt like I was just getting to know her as well. I hope I will have a chance to see her again sometime soon. It's nice to see you back though. It was also really nice of you to arrange this, Twilight. You are the best friend anypony could ask for," Skylight replied. It was clear she was a little upset at Dusk's sudden departure, but the presence of her best friend had a way of cheering her up. She would let Twilight set the tray down before hugging her.

"Perhaps we could if she is available. She might even be in Ponyville right now. I know she is often quite busy in the Wonderbolts though," Twilight replied. As she said this, the train gradually began to slow down as Ponyville approached in the distance. Twilight nodded. "When I had decided to take you two in as my personal pupils, I had hoped that you two would learn about science, magic, technology, and friendship. I had hoped that the three of us would form bonds with each other as we explored the frontiers of various subjects and fields. These studies and bonds made me who I am today, and I hope you two can see how it can benefit both of you as well," Twilight replied. She made gestures with her forehooves and wings to emphasize her heartfelt conversation with Flurry Heart and Luster Dawn. Luster Dawn sighed. "I suppose that is true. I'll give it a try, Princess Twilight," she replied. "I think you are a great friend and mentor!" Flurry Heart said with a smile as she nuzzled Twilight. "Yeah, but I heard you aren't taking your studies seriously," Twilight replied as she booped Flurry Heart on the nose. "Yes, Princess Twilight, I'll try to do better," Flurry Heart replied, her smile weakening as she nodded. "Well we're here in Ponyville now," Twilight pointed out as she got up. By then, the train had come to a complete stop, and the doors opened as the group got up and off the train. Glancing around Ponyville, it had changed quite a bit since Cozy Glow had last seen it. For one, the train station that they were now in was larger and more modern than the last time she had seen it. Not only that, but Ponyville had grown quite significantly as well. Where there were once thatched roofs on two-story homes, there now stood tile roofs on three or four-story homes. The streets were now paved, and there was even a trolleybus parked in front of the train station. In addition, there were quite a few more ponies walking around on the streets. A pink one seemed to notice the group, and she jumped up as she gasped in surprise before darting off. "So, Cozy, what do you want to do first? I think you wanted to see the School of Friendship? Or did you want to see the ponies you mentioned first?" Twilight asked.

"I suppose as long as we don't disturb their work, then it should be fine," Twilight thought out loud. After giving a quick glance at the other two, she would then lead the way back into the hive. It didn't take long before the group stumbled onto a construction site in the hive. The site was sectioned off with a small fence and a sign marking it as under construction. It was quiet as work had stopped for the night. However, it appeared that much progress still needed to be made. The site was cleared of any rubble and prepared for construction, but it seemed that no substantial building work had begun. That was despite the fact that numerous materials were piled up and plans had been laid out at the site. Glancing at the site, Twilight noted "It looks like this is the problem that Thorax was pointing out earlier. You can see how there are numerous materials and numerous all laid out there. However, the changelings cannot start construction until they agree on a plan," Twilight pointed out. "Indeed," Skylight nodded. "I hope that the changelings are able to sort out any issues that would prevent them from rebuilding their hive. Though I hope that the advice we provided them earlier today would help."

I see. I hope you're ok and that we can stay friends. I also hope that the issues you have can be sorted out. I quite liked the roleplay we had going as well.
