searching When the Clock Stops (OOC)

[Descant 1,897]

The ancient manor stands, lonely at the crest of a hill in the middle of nowhere. All is quiet. The wind doesn't whistle through the grass, which doesn't grow; the beautiful stone carvings and statues gleam like the day they were borne, lighting the small family graveyard in their beauty, and Old Grandfather Clock stands, appearing as he did in the days of his prime, awaiting his guests. As this is how he chooses to present himself.

 

A skilled unicorn, Grandfather Clock can use his magic to manipulate the passage of time. He can't stop time, merely alter the way it flows. Despite his extreme age, he looks no older than any of his great-great-great-howevermanytimesgreat-grandchildren, in the prime of his 20's. By keeping his manor in a sort of temporal stasis, he allows himself to avoid having to do yardwork.

 

Grandfather Clock has recently sent out invitations to many of his younger friends and relatives, inviting them to dinner and to spend the weekend with him in his manor. There's plenty to do in a place like this, plenty of history and fun to be had. assuming M. Night Shyamulean doesn't decide to include any plot twists.

Please try to be active and online at least five days of the week. So... Post at least once everyday, please! 
Good grammar, people! A mistake or two is fine, but not too much, or I'll ask you to leave.

As DM for this RP, I have every right to turn players away, even after it's started. Don't complain if I do; I don't enjoy it any more than you do. I am, however, willing to work with you.

@,

What's your name?: Nox-Hene Dimer (Nox for short)

Are you a stallion or a mare?: Mare

What kind of pony are you?: Pegasus (Werewolf though she probably wont be changing at all throughout the RP...unless there's a full moon or they get into trouble or some crap like that)

How do you know Grandfather Clock?: Old time..."Friends". While travelling through Equestria, Nox happened across him in Canterlot. They chatted a bit and eventually became friends. However, that was many years before this had taken place and since then they hadn't talked much (Don't know how well that works with the invites and such)

Are you related to Grandfather Clock?: No

Grandfather Clock is not always the most sensitive or sensible pony. Has he ever done anything to upset you? Of course he has. What'd he do?: (assuming that we may come up with whatever response to this question that comes to mind) He insulted (Perhaps not fully on purpose) her species and traditions. Since then she'd been rather...distant from him.

Anything else?: Just kinda throwing this in on a whim. I rarely RP on forums any more so...*wiggles*

Link to page: Yes its on another site...I like the setup.

[Firehearted 120]

I'm just going to roleplay this whole sheet cause, you know, roleplaying.

 

 

What's your name? Atlas Lightfeather

 

Are you a stallion or a mare? Stallion last time I checked... Yep. Still a stallion

.

What kind of pony are you? Pegasus

 

How do you know Grandfather Clock? Interesting story that is. I stumbled upon his place when I got lost out in the middle of nowhere. I stayed at his mansion for the night and I was off. I kept in touch and visited sometimes. Interesting fellow he is.

 

Are you related to Grandfather Clock? Do I look like a unicorn?

 

Grandfather Clock is not always the most sensitive or sensible pony. Has he ever done anything to upset you? Of course he has. What'd he do? He can be somewhat insensitive. He's good at crushing other people's conversions sometimes. Maybe I just caught him in a bad mood? I was going on about something and he just stopped me suddenly in the most annoyed and angry tone. I suppose it wasn't that bad but I didn't like it at the time.

 

Anything else? Not that I can think of. I do remember I spent hours talking to him about his assortment of antiques. That's all.

I like the idea of Grandfather Clock. I want t this RP take off and hopefully not die a slow and horrible death.

[Undyne 1,483]

What's your name?: Stellar Nova.

 

Are you a stallion or a mare?: Let's go ahead and get this off the table now. I am a full-bred stallion. NOT a mare...

 

What kind of pony are you?: Unicorn.

 

How do you know Grandfather Clock?: Oh, Stopwatch, that old geezer... We were the best of partners! Occasionally, I'd come all the way from Vanhoofer just to talk and catch up with him! Not to mention he's even given me a few money tips for life.

 

Are you related to Grandfather Clock?: Not at all. 

 

Grandfather Clock is not always the most sensitive or sensible pony. Has he ever done anything to upset you? Of course he has. What'd he do?: Oh, I'll just say that a few business ideas we preplanned happened to go right down the toilet... I've learned to forgive and forget, but he was the reason why I lost a good 500k bits...

 

Anything else?: I know not to hold a grudge. But... I just wish that SOME action could take place. Like, take a bit of his own money from him...

Quick note, guys. You don't have to be a Unicorn to be related to Grandfather Clock. The Cakes prove that pony race is a very fluid thing, and there's at least two generations between Grandfather and your OCs, most likely. 

 

It's important for your OCs to have been seriously upset with Grandfather Clock at some point in time, even if they aren't anymore. You'll find out why later.

What's your name?: Nox-Hene Dimer (Nox for short)

I'm typically not a big fan on non-ponies, but you've always been the exception to that rule, and I know you pull it off well, so... Accepted.

 

Do you want Grandfather Clock, or indeed, anybody, to know about your OC's... Um... Condition?

Glad you like Grandfather Clock!  
Hopefully there isn't any kind of death involved in happening to this RP. Should be fun.

 

I like your character, and I'd like to accept you. I probably will. But I think I'll ask you to take another look at the whole "offense" thing first. Grandfather Clock has to have done something once that seriously got your OC riled up at him. Maybe they were adventuring once, and he made a controversial, unusual decision, and sprung a trap, the consequences of which nearly cost your guy his leg? I dunno, you know your OC better than me. But Clock is kinda erratic like that.

 

I wouldn't ask something like that in the application form if it wasn't important. Clock has to have had a history with all the characters involved in the play.

How do you know Grandfather Clock? When I met the guy, I wasn't sure what to think. He's been alive for HOW LONG? Surely he's seen some bands come and go if he's been around for, like, FOREVER. I told him about a concert Razorwing was playing in Canterlot, thought I'd invite him to see some REAL music.

Are you related to Grandfather Clock? Nah.

Grandfather Clock is not always the most sensitive or sensible pony. Has he ever done anything to upset you? Of course he has. What'd he do? Talked down about my musical style...man, I swear, nopony appreciates metal nowadays.

Have to ask a couple of questions, if you don't mind.

I'm assuming what Grandfather did to offend your OC was worse than that, and he just doesn't want to talk about it? kind of from the way it's phrased.

Who's Deranged? Mentioned a couple of times in Equinox's description. Another OC?

[Demonic Soulz 483]

Deranged is more of a alternate side of Equinox and They way it is phrased yes he doen't want to talk about it

[Descant 1,897]

You could just message me whatever it was that happened. These offenses are pretty relevant. I wouldn't ask otherwise.

 Assuming that he is quite experienced in life and shit, he probably would. She doesn't try to keep it hidden and for those people out there who know of the Mal, being a werewolf is a huge part of their culture since they do spend the first fifteen to twenty years of their lives learning to control it. She's quite proud of it and when the subject comes up she's often eager to talk about her experiences and the process. Long story short, yeah he'd probably know xD

Not really. Just walk in. The gates are still open, and Grandfather Clock's waiting just inside them.

 

If your OC's just showing up for the free food and doesn't want much to do with GC, then you can just walk them inside to where Sunny and Moony are.
