Opalicious

The comment from Slide to Magpie was peculiar, and she wrinkled her nose, hiding her reactions. "Well, I better go and eat something, I'm a bit hungry." She silently moved away and filled a cup with punch, sipping it, visibly disappointed. She finished her cup and refilled it, drinking slowly this time. Magpie had left Slide and herself just half a minute before her, but for now she was done talking and stayed where she was.

I feel like I'm putting too much emphasis on the energetic nature of Scarlet Crunch, with special bonus effects from her cutie mark. This, as posted by Windy Scamper, makes her seem insane, which is exactly what I had been trying to avoid. What have I been doing wrong so I may fix it, while still keeping Scarlet energetic and active. Time to sleep, but if you answer to this, I'll make sure to read it tomorrow. ((OOC: Pardon, thought this was OOC.))

"Did you get your cutie mark early on and try to get as good as you can at trombone as possible? It must of been tough, but worth it!" She thought about her own cutie mark and told him, "My cutie mark is a bowl of breakfast flakes. I enjoy making them and eating them afterwards, though I think the tastiness is a side effect of my love for making them." ((OOC: I gotta go now, I'll post as soon as I get home.))

"I was a bit distracted myself, I hardly noticed you had disappeared until a few seconds later, of course I didn't mind!" Now that she got a good view of his cutie mark, she exclaimed, "You play trombone? That's so cool! I was going to learn once, but it was too hard for me." ((OOC: In a few minutes I'll be gone for two hours, so it is recommended if you excuse yourself from Scarlet Crunch unless you want to wait.))

"Magpie's not such a bad name, if you ask me. You have just the right colors, and magpies are pretty cool!" She glanced at his wings and said, "I bet your wings are also just as sleek and powerful like a magpie as well." She tried to examine his right wing, but she couldn't see it as it was tucked in. She realized Slide was also there and she also told him, "Hi, Slide!" ((OOC: Trying to acknowledge both characters.))

Slide seemed to be staring at Rockshire and his lips moved, probably to speak with the pegasus, who flexed his wings. Scarlet took a dandelion cracker and another one, munching on the first one slowly, letting the taste of the cracker flow through her mouth. Scarlet finished her other cracker and then decided to speak to the two stallions and spark a conversation, so she approached them, but as she was near them and about to say something, Slide said, "Have you met any nice mares tonight?" It was unwise to interrupt just then, so she stood by, silently. As the pegasus finished replying to Slide Grease, she said, mostly directed at the pegasus because Slide already knew her name, "Hi! My name is Scarlet Crunch, what's yours?" ((OOC: Edit 2.0)) ((OOC: God, edited it three times now. I think I'm done Now to reply to this new, new post.))

((OOC: So fast )) Scarlet Crunch spotted Slide Grease approach another pony and she rolled her eyes at his constant movement, and it was tiring not doing anything, especially for her, so she moved neared the music playing thing and selected a random song she knew, called, Hayphone. She stood nearby and hummed along to the tune.

((OOC: I was gone so long! I can't think of any reasonable excuses, so pretend she was...doing other stuff?)) Scarlet Crunch looked around once more and spotted Slide Grease with another mare. She hated interrupting other pony's conversations, so she left them be and she headed over to the snack table ans she picked up a few hoof fries and set them on a plate, which she took and slowly at from, observing the room from where she propped herself against the table. ((OOC: I'm too lazy to go too far back, and it looks like everyone is busy. I'll just wait a few posts to see if anyone is not doing anything.))

@@Windy Scamper, "Hi, Slide. My name is Scarlet Crunch." She quickly thought about the name Slide Grease and asked him, "Is there a reason your name is Slide Grease, like it's name after something? Lemme guess! Did you once when you were a foal go down a waterslide at record speed?" ((OOC: Gotta go somewhere. I'll post soon.))

Scarlet Crunch followed the ocean shore, gazing at the sunset as she pondered why she still couldn't see Rockshire's home. Scarlet had been extremely happy when Rockshire had invited several ponies for a party at her home, which Scarlet had never been in, but she was overjoyed nonetheless. Eventually she neared a cavern with a huge mouth for it's opening, and the location seemed right compared to what Rockshire had said. She stared at the opening as torches faded, probably as a pony neared the far inside of the cave. As Scarlet went through the cave, she realized that she had been prancing through a grim stench that reminded her of a cesspit, probably 100 meters or so from the cave entrance, and she was surprised to find herself breathing fresh air. The walls around her showed no sign of colorfastness as the wall texture became more smooth and color slowly seemed to drain into the wall. Then, finally, she was in the room, and Rockshire stood nearby. Scarlet galloped over and told Rockshire, "Hey, Rockshire! I'm here!" She set her saddlebag, which, strangely, contained nothing, hence was absolutely weightless, on the ground by the wall and stated, "Wow, it's really warm in here too." ((OOC: It's a bit weird for me to see that Rockshire knows barely anypony at the party, so is it okay that Scarlet Scrunch knows Rockshire and vice versa?))

@@Key Gear, Water Opal's mind had cleared a bit, and his worries of the dream he had were long gone. He looked at the notebook Ambrosia has asked for and he mentioned, "Perhaps you should rest a little first, if the notepad is what knocked you out of consciousness, it may be fatal to inspect it once more and risk falling unconscious once more." He lifted the cup of water he had drunken from that morning as well as a napkin with his magic, making the glass wet then drying it with the now soggy napkin. Water droplets formed in the air before gravity took hold and they splattered into the cup. He held it down to the cook, thinking that a glass of water would help her hydrate and could even help her recall events that lead to her fainting. "Here, drink this," he told her, adding afterwards, "It's water." He thought back to what she had said about tragedy and freedom being a trap. He mumbled to both the cook and himself, "I query for answers I may not be able to receive, though is it possible that the creature in your dream is yourself or somepony on the train? Or just a nightmare that happened to come by your sudden stupor?" The more he thought about it, the more he wondered if it was just a mere coincidence. As he became more bewildered while staying calm nonetheless, he realized his lips had become siccative, and instead of filling a cup with water, he simply formed the water in his mouth from the beginning, swishing in back and forth and letting a little drip out of his mouth and onto his lips. "Very confusing, this case..."

Any of you have any, er, cheese?

Motion Spark! Celebration is in order!

I actually thought it was a picture, so when I posted it, I realized it was a gif. I spoilered it because I didn't want to waste time trying to find another picture. That's why it says I edited that post, if you look again. I'm trying to stay away from gifs. Well, time to sleep. See y'all 'gain tom'row.

I'm back! D

I don't recognize any of you except Spastic! Oh, and Starshine! If you don't recognize me, I'm Bumble Berry/The Opals (See region around page 1000) and I'm finally back! Now, where did everyone go?

Water Opal's eyes continued to play tricks on him, and a rapid sequence of events passed in front of him. Two ponies, though unfitting of the situation, suddenly entwined themselves in a friendly hug. So much was going on around him, and behind him, he heard sounds of Ambrosia, the cook, waking up, and he turned in her direction, overwhelmed by the amount of ponies in the room and by the events. Water Opal resolved to sitting down and watching from the side, his head parts in his hooves. He felt like he was sprouting a headache out of stress, but he quickly filled a vacant, unused glass in front of him with some water of his own. He drunk the water in the glass and refilled it, this time only drinking it halfway before directing his attention to the waking cook. She began rambling on about a dream she had, something about a protector, a dragon an she commented on the alternate endings each time she had the dream. @@Key Gear, Water Opal decided to stand up and become nearer to her, her drenched face looking around the crowd in confusion. Gathering as much energy as he could muster, as he was still shell shocked from the dream of his own, he asked her, "How did the dream end this time?"

Thanks, this is awesome! It looks so cool, I better get on replacing my other signature. Again, thank you for making this, and for making it so quickly too!

Ambrosia spoke to Water Opal and he replied, "Actually, I came for a drink, but I'm fine now. I'm suddenly very tired, I better take a nap." He thanked Ambrosia and left for his room, which he had oddly just left from. As he entered his room, he crawled into his bed, his eyes droopy. Just a few hours would be how long he would sleep, he thought to himself, but as he drifted off, things started to get strange... **************** Voices were everywhere, but as much as he wanted to avoid them, they dragged him back in. He was sweating profusely, and the voices around him were unfamiliar. They whispered jumbled nonsense to him, but it scared him nonetheless. He was aware that he was inside a dream, he could feel himself laying in his bed, and he was semi-aware of his surroundings, yet nothing could pull him out of this strange, sensational dream. The voices became louder and more incomprehensible, and as they blasted his ear drums, they disappeared and Water Opal could feel himself flooding back to reality. He sat up, dazed, breathing hard with beads of sweat all over his face. He stood up, visibly shaken, and he stood in the same spot for several minutes, not making any sense of what he had just heard. He didn't even know what he was supposed to hear. Water Opal now heard more voices, but these didn't come from inside his head, but rather from outside. He ripped his door open and glanced around, spotting a crowd of ponies in the car nearby. Looking like he was in a trance, he stumbled over to the door and pulled it open, entering the other car. He tried to quick-dry himself with a spell he knew, but he wasn't quite able to perform his spell. "Quick, anypony here a doctor?" Water Opal heard somepony say in the midst of the chatter, Water Opal continued to wade his way through the car, still outside of the group. A pony lay on the ground, clearly unconscious, but Water Opal wasn't a doctor. He couldn't aid this pony, who he now recognized as the cook. Many ponies stepped forward in response, but the voices were blurred to him, and he couldn't quite understand the words spoken. Am I going insane?

Size Of Signature: 600x100 Ponies: Spitfire, Lightning Dust and Rainbow Dash Text: No text. Background: Anything that would fit. If you can't think of anything, then the sky is good too.

I am in great need of cover art for the fanfic I'm writing, In the Sky. It's about two pegasi who enroll in the Wonderbolt Academy, and as they advance through the stages of becoming and being Wonderbolts, they grow more attached to each other. In the picture, it be cool if the darker pegasus, Star Dust, is playfully teasing Meteor Shower, the champagne colored pegasus, with Meteor Shower ignoring her/rolling his eyes. Here are their pictures, I really hope you can draw some, your previous art looks amazing! If you don't have a color that is shown above, it is fine if you use something similar.

I'm writing a new fanfic but I don't quite know how I should get a picture for the cover, so I decided I should ask. Though I made a request on an art thread, I'm not quite sure it'll be done in time with the long line of requests in the thread. If anyone is here who could draw this, I'd be really grateful. In the picture, I'd like Star Dust playfully teasing Meteor Shower, while Meteor Shower roles his eyes at how annoying Star Dust is. If it helps, it's going to be a romance fanfic.

I'd like to request something too! I'm writing a fanfic and I really need a picture for the cover, so I quickly made the ponies on the pony creator so I could request somepony to draw them. Generally, I want Star Dust, the blue one, verbally teasing Meteor Shower, the champagne colored one, with Meteor Shower simply rolling his eyes in an annoyed look. If it's too much, tell me, I'll try to find somepony else to do it. Good luck when you get to it.

@@MagicalStarRain, @, @@Marathon, Air Opal ventured in the direction of the smoke, the possibility of a fire all too evident. He couldn't put it out, but he could contain it in a certain area until all the students escaped. Sometimes it made him sad that hew as always so calm, he rarely felt the thrill of things other ponies were always screaming about. He preferred to take care of the matter and then leave it behind. As he rounded a corner, he saw a pony on the ground and a last puff of smoke leaving the window, with no fire around, as well as two other ponies a small distance away looking at... something. A quick glance, well, of everything in front of him confused him a slight bit. "Aha, no fire. I suppose I'm not of need here then?"
