  1. Aticus looked around at the others sculling these drinks, and crossed his arms. "It doesn't appear to have any immediate effects." He took the bottle in front of him and put it in his own bag. "I'm going to take this back home and do some tests with it!" He picked up Wartortle and caressed his head. "I'm gonna need you guys to tell me any and all effects for this. If this goes well, I could get some great marks for my science paper..." He whispered and giggled to himself. "What was with that strange student, I wonder? She was very colourful!"
  2. @Shiny Silvermoon Aticus looked on at the scene as bewildered as Empire, but quickly changed his tone when he heard "croissants". "She left us drinks without the bread..." Without a second thought, he picked up one of the mysterious bottles and studied it, opening it up and taking a sniff of the contents. "Hm... Could be sulfuric acid or perhaps even liquid of a hydrochloric nature. Shiny! I don't think we should trust this!"
  3. Aticus witnessed the events carefully, almost as though he was studying their interaction. He admired the way Shiny could immediately find a commonality between her and whoever she was talking to at a moment's notice. It wasn't that Aticus was unable to do that when it was the right person, but he had been told before that he was either far too quiet, or far too forward upon a first meeting. @Props Valroa Silver Star, on the other hand, made Aticus nervous. In his mind, their was an air of confidence oozing out that intimidated him. Maybe it was something he simply lacked himself or perhaps other people were the crazy ones for not being so on their guard around strangers. Then again, he could be just as casual. Too casual. Too immediate with his openness if it was with someone he clicked with. Aticus peeked around from behind the chair at Silver Star. "You!" He called out.
  4. @Shiny Silvermoon Aticus took Shiny's hands and gently placed Wartortle into them. "Shiny, I know how you feel about this situation but, you know, maybe they don't want that life of fame. Their powers could be a blessing, but at the same time, maybe it's a curse? I don't know." He fiddled with a tool inside his pocket. "Sometimes the simple life isn't so bad. At least, that's my philosophy..." He looked back at her and pet her head. "But, all this being said, you know that I and our newfound friends would be happy to assist you with anything and everything!" @41Fan Aticus suddenly turned to the new friend sitting at their table and jumped up, scurrying behind Shiny's chair. "Don't hurt me!"
  5. @Saturn Ring @Shiny Silvermoon Aticus caressed the turtle's little feet happily. "I found him when I was out collecting moss in the swamp near my house! This little guy was just swimming around in the pond and I decided he was a valuable little treasure. Plus, he reminded me of my old turtle I had as a kid." Aticus looked up at Shiny as she fangirled over the seven most popular students on the school and their talking dog. "Shiny? You alright?"
  6. "Nah, you've got nothing to worry about. I talk to my little friend here all the time!" Aticus held up his turtle right at RK's face. "Say hello to Wartortle!" The turtle's dopey smile was front and centre, impossible to ignore. It was entrancing. "He tells me things all the time! Mostly criticism for my many ideas and projects," Aticus said , somewhat disappointed.
  7. Aticus began observing her closely, almost like a bloodhound. He paid particular attention to her hair. "Your hair. It looks quite tasty. Like rainbow skittles."
  8. @Shiny Silvermoon @Saturn Ring Aticus choked on his piece of bread before downing more juice to help it go down. "Say what?! You're telling me that we had the upper crust of pedagogical society sit here??" He looked around warily before leaning in to whisper... And stopping when he saw who else was at the table. The rainbow headed girl.
  9. @Shiny Silvermoon Aticus gently placed Wartortle on the table, immediately setting down the small pieces of kale for the shelled creature. "How'd you guess? This is the third time this month. I'm surprised none of the bosses have figured out that I've come in later than usual. By the way, thanks for filling in for me on that front, ol' buddy, ol' pal!" He picked up the apple juice and right away began slurping it down like a thirsty child lost in a desert. "Oh, and you made my favourite! Mortadella sandwich! I swear, I don't know how you manage to save my skin AND keep up with your own matters so seamlessly." He worfed down the sandwich, savouring every bite.
  10. Darn. The doors were closed again. The boy stroked the small turtle resting in his hands as he observed the outside of the school grounds. "Well, I suppose this is what I deserve for being so preoccupied with that project last night, eh, Wartortle?" he looked down at his little friend and tickled its head. Aticus wasn't necessarily one to be late often, but this wasn't the first time he had arrived at a less than ideal time. Lunch time. He could see all the students walking around, having their lunch, and in the midst of his observations, he remembered something crucial: He forgot to bring his own lunch. Well, there was only one place to go for a time like this. Pacing around the edge of the gates, Aticus eventually came to the back end of the school. Underneath one section of the gate was a dip in the ground. Thank goodness, none of the teachers had discovered or covered it up yet. He had dug this hole months ago, after all. Placing the reptile upon his head, he scrambled through underneath the gate, and popped out like a weasel. "I really hope Shiny did us that favour again. I've really gotta pay her back one of these days!" He said to himself as he ran through the back entrance and skid through the halls, ignoring everyone he bumped into, just to reach the cafeteria hall to see his friend.
  11. Name: Aticus Draconi Backstory: Aticus was born in a fairly simple home with several siblings and grew up rather ordinarily until he began to display an interest in the chaotic side of things. He was fascinated with things like explosions and how they worked, how things were constructed and deconstructed, and would usually attempt these very things himself. His best friend in the whole world wound up being his precious long-necked turtle. He found himself becoming very studious but primarily for the things he was interested in and that helped him further his own goals. Ending up at Canterlot High School may grant him this opportunity. Personality: Kind yet incredibly mischievous. Can be awkward and reserved at times until he gets comfortable. He has a penchant for drama and revels in causing (harmless) chaos yet one day dreams of going even bigger with his various schemes. Usually quite chilled out and happy, as well as humorous and talkative when he wants to be. Very enthusiastic and giddy when he sees something he likes. Age: 17 Physical Description: A thin young man with a rather innocent looking face, yet with something lurking behind his eyes. His hair is somewhat curly and very shaggy. He has pink pupils and wears either a fluffy orange and green jacket or a dandy vest and button up. For formal occasions, he wears his trusty turtleneck sweater and usually dons a pair of chinos. Skills/Talents: Strong knowledge of the world and how things work. Able to craft many things with ease, often with destructive proponents. Uncanny ability to mimic any person's voice if he listens to them long enough. Also handy with a piano. Likes: Studying, craft, science, history, philosophy, animals (specifically turtles), film and literature, chaos, pranks, chocolate milk. Dislikes: People who think there is any milk that surpasses chocolate milk, not being allowed to fiddle with various items, being separated from his turtle, those who look down upon the sciences and arts or don't appreciate them, mosquitoes (the only creature he hates with a passion), beetroot.
  12. Yep, this was very much an idea held about women in particular in the past. In many cultures, though they were expected to be demure and submissive, they were also expected to be strong willed and even somewhat fierce underneath it! I think in your case, it gets very literal. Silky and warm coverings but my goodness, you are headstrong and that's more than admirable See, names have LAYERS. Just like onions!
  13. What happens when we're mods AND event staff??
  14. I first found out about FIM after I watched a PMV of Discord and Fluttershy singing Master of the House from Les Miserables back in 2013. At the same time, my younger sister was watching the show and brought me in to watch it too. She was obsessed with Spike x Rarity episodes and would seek out those specific ones to watch from the wiki. I was like "ew, girl show" but that was more just me trying to hide my enjoyment of the show. Then I watched more and more in my spare time, and we eventually binged the episodes. It was by then that I called myself a brony and I'm proud of it to this day!
  15. I'm so happy to be working alongside you, Dyny! We'll all make a great team, especially now with you on board! WHOOP! How groovy this will be! Welcome, welcome!
  16. Oh jolly good! Another Aussie pony and potential friend! Welcome aboard the forum train, buddy! It's so awesome to have you! Your passion for animals and metal excites me THIS WILL TRULY BE WONDERFUL!
  17. Oh, I didn't know you guys were talking about the church I started and the priest I hired This is precisely the doctrine we teach.
  18. Q1. For me, being an event coordinator means I get to relive the things I did years ago. I used to assist in organising many events at my church for the children that arrived for youth group. Seeing them smile, explore the best parts of their minds and capabilities, and having fun with what we did brought me so much joy, and I want to do that for more people, whether brief or lengthy. Q2. Being an event coordinator will help me not only bring fun to others, but also build on my own desires and strengths when it comes to planning and working with wonderful people. I want to be able to expand my horizons and use my mind to create new things. Meeting people is a massive part of it and at the end of the day, if people are happy and having fun, I'm satisfied. Q3. When it comes to me, the first thing you'd probably find is that I am a massive film lover. I really enjoy the art of it and the many, many stories that have come from it. I also really enjoy video games and play them on almost a daily basis! I don't have a particular preference when it comes to them. Anything that either has a great story, fun gameplay or is relaxing is something I'll enjoy! In addition to that, card and board games are always a great time for me. Currently, I'm into Magic: The Gathering and Risk. I love to study and am a huge history buff. The past, present and future, to me, are very important to understand, look into and think about. Writing is also a passion of mine and I've written several short and conceptual stories. I'm hoping to branch out with it. Other hobbies include playing piano, intense singing, practising martial arts (specifically Jiu Jitsu) and studying biology and the universe we reside in. Q4. Okay, this one is quite difficult. If I could be the best in the world at something... I suppose I'd want to be the best at organisation. That's definitely a big goal I have on my mind at the moment, though this is liable to change. At this moment in time, I really want to be more organised and prepared for anything. I live my life by going with the flow and taking experiences as they come but it would be really great to be able to be prepared for these things. Q5. I would rather let others describe me but if I had to, I would say that I'm a very kind and helpful person. I really enjoy my job as a disability carer purely because I get to interact with beautiful souls and assist them throughout their day, and I expand that to anyone I interact with. I have a very playful and cheeky sense of humour and love making people laugh. People have described me in person as being very animated. I can be a bit forgetful and of course, I have my problems to face as everyone does, the biggest being overthinking and stressing myself out. But I'm always determined to get through those problems as best I can and, as I mentioned above, try to live a laid back life.
  19. I personally think Shiny could be either an astronomer or even an ASTRONAUT! You can study the moon, or you can walk around on it! Collect rocks and travel to the dark side of it! Maybe even make some new discoveries
  20. For all enquiries about mayonnaise, the history of mayonnaise, mayo-related cultures, and the best recipes using the condiment, please come see me. @Princess Silky I have a problem. Gary is breaking into my house and stealing my Maccas sauce packs D:
  21. So, we are here at the end of our journey! I wanted to say thank you to everyone who showed interest and participated in my first ever event! This truly was an honour to host and I'm so happy to see everyone here was so enthusiastic about it. It's been so long since I got to hold/work on an event. I want to again thank everypony here for this wonderful time! I hope you all enjoyed and got some wonderful ideas out of this! I would love to see more expansion on these ideas in any way possible in the future! To everyone who joined in with art, designs, or even just delightful things to say, and to everyone else here on the forums: MAY THE FORCE BE WITH YOU ALL
  22. The Simpsons, said by Frank Grimes to Homer in the episode "Homer's Enemy"! "You do know there are more guns in the country than their are in the city." "Everybody and their mams is packin' around here." "Like who?" "Farmers." "Who else?" "...Farmer's mums."
  23. Wowsers!! @Nitobit This seriously looks amazing! I love that Jedi Shiny's lightsaber is a silver one too. Suits her whole colour palette! GREAT WORK HERE
  24. TRUUUUUUE! You can save so much money! All they'd need is oil changes and voila, your droid pet will survive!
  25. I absolutely adore this character you've created! I love the almost exaggerated levels of darkness and brooding and yet he still has a cute little stuffed toy he loves so much. AND THAT BACKSTORY KILLS ME I can totally imagine what he looks like as well. Well, well, hello there, W4-N3! I want a droid just like him! Reminds me of the Boston Dynamics doggos. I WOULD LOVE THEM ALL IN MY HOUSE!!
