Casual Stroll - An Introductionary RP mainly around Equestria OOC [Open Entry For All]

Sorry for not posting, I just can't come up with a place to go.

@Maple Bat

 

There's no limit to how far in the future she could come from, so Fluttershy and Discord could be played as normal, leaving the relationship to a future we can't yet see.  Also, it doesn't even necessarily have to be the future of this timeline, but it could instead just be a possible future.  Chaos magic could prevent her from disappearing if her own timeline never happens at all, or she could be from a parallel world that's ahead of this one chronologically.  I have a time traveler myself, who's goal is to maintain a balance between chaos and order, so it could be an interesting interaction either way (he's basically a giant hippopotamus with wings and curly goat horns).

[Maple Bat 3,568]

@Seamore Sandwich
 

Actually thats a good point and something else possible is something like Lucina from fire emblem awakening where she came to what was the present from the future but and was the daughter of the main character but avoided saying that until it was unavoidable.

@Blitz Boom

Am I approved for the roleplay excluding the Fluttercord thing

  @Blitz Boom      Well, a few things before I launch back into speculation. Heya Blitz? Think you missed out on Ambie's & Kozaky's storylines. Far as I can tell anyway. No real rush though. I'd be fine dropping the latter even if it came to it; Ambie & Widdershins are really the only two I am loyal to.

  @Foxy Socks Don't worry about it none, you're still a bit new to the environment so you can't really know whats around. Though... think your character was asked... so you could either bat the idea right back or make up something on the fly for whatever you think might be in Ponyville. I... think my character is currently in some sort of... free diner for the rebuilding efforts.

so we're not going full on Supernatural and dig up bones to burn.

   Fuh, fine! But I'm still keepin' my rock salt bullets!

 

     Well, didn't mean quite so biological, even if I did mean hereditary. The Elements of Harmony have always seemed rather destiny-based. Like, even should a bearer of, uh, Magic say, should fall in pursuit of a, uh, Magic Mission there will always be a later generation that that destiny falls to. None of the Six really knew they were going to get those elements until they did so it seems likely one with an aptitude/destiny for it could go their whole life without knowing their link to it, die of natural causes, then that destiny would then pass onto their child.

    Kind of like the wands from the Harry Potter franchise. A wizard could very well go their whole life without a wand, they tend not to since its so integral to them, but their wands are specially made for them and are useless to an extent to anyone else. Like, without that necklace Applejack is just a notable pony about town. The actual amulet itself seems to serve as a method to unlock inner potential. And... wait, aren't the Elements of Harmony currently destroyed or disabled in the cannon show story?

   My point is: the Elements of Harmony existed before their current bearers, and the current bearers have outlasted those Elements. In fact, think we've seen those elements carved down to fit in those broaches & even wielded three-at-a-time by Luna & Celestia. Both the Elements & the Bearers are replaceable. Until the two factors meet, do they truly become a force to be reckoned with. Much like the concepts they embody, there will always be more elements or bearers, regardless to what happens to their current forms.

   Think I meant to say, is that through magic hoohah one could somehow pull out some trace connection of the Element from the Bearer or vice versa much akin to how it seems that Sirens can somehow suck souls out through feelings/music/whatever the blazes they do.

     Like, if ya crushed up Rainbow Dash really good into another pendant that'd likely react to that Element just as good. But I'm doing that morbid thing you said we weren't doing!

    But In short, The Element of Loyalty would be useless to anypony else unless you found whoever still alive counted as its corresponding Rainbow Dash.

  And on a side note, really like the idea of the Elements of DISharmony being pendants(ala The Alicorn Amulet) as opposed to Harmony's necklaces, but that's a purely aesthetic concept of mine! ... also.... wouldn't these eventually trace back to Discord somehow? Since he was supposed to represent disharmony in the show? Like, maybe he made them?

   Like to think of them as a more... vague spirit thingie. Because, I guess, technically its the potential for that Element that matters, right? Like a royal crown I guess. Like, you could take the Element of Honesty over to the next town, find another honest pony and have them wield it? Not any pony can, sure, but its not like only Applejack can in the entity of this world's history can use it, right?  (geez, I'm sure beating up on ol' applehorse today, aren't I? Lol!)

    Like, theoretically, two sisters can both be potentially the wielder of the same element if their mother before them, who also embodied the same nature, also did albeit unknowingly, right?

Of course I do! That movie was awesome! Practically the only one I can remember! The most manly actor ever playing the most manly creature that's ever existed! And yes, dragons have totallyexisted,noonequestionmeonthis!

  Wait... was that the dragons name in that?... Seem to remember a sequel that I didn't watch that didn't exactly help the original's message...

Draco was the The Dragon's name that Bowen gave him since dragon names are hard for humans to pronounce.

@Foxy Socks

Sorry for not responding to the last post you made here, missed it somehow. :/ Basically, just do what I do: Start talking and moving along with the character, and then see what happens. Usually something resembling a story will eventually wander around a corner near you.

I would suggest to go towards the food court. You can find it by following the other ponies going there after a long day of working on the town. They'd be famined, and should be an easy amount to see. Also, could be you could smell the warm food from some distance. Breeze might have carried it. :3

                                      =======================================================================

 

@Mysterious Soul

I can have a look whilst on the bus later and see if I can't find it, but it would help if you would post a link of it here for all to see. You have an easier time finding it as you wrote it after all, yes? ^^

                                                 ================================================================

 

@Maple Bat

Yep, you're approved, no worries there. ^^ I was watching the talk between you and @Seamore Sandwich for a bit though, and he does bring up some fair points on how you can keep your bios cannon, but also fit with the timeline. Could be a fun little side effect of The Creator's (his giant hippo-creature time-walker) travel with Zhu (my half snake half cat more or less) through time. To accidentally pick up a creature through a ripple in time and space whilst they travel. Could be a hoot.

                                          =====================================================================

 

@Midnight_Aurora

Huh, I hadn't thought on it like that. Interesting, and like you said, something that can be spoken about at length likely in PM's if it is.

I do think perhaps that having Luna and Celestia as elements like that would be somewhat puzzling though, as they have both used the elements of harmony in their days, and far as I recall, Celestia couldn't wield their powers anymore when Nightmare Moon came back. But eh, semantics potentially.

                                          =====================================================================

 

@Widdershins

You make a boat load of good points Widders, and I can agree with what you say about it being somewhat hereditary. Like there being a greater chance that one in their blood line is meant to be the bearer, though as the former wielders were Celestia and Luna, and they are not known to be in family with the mane six, it can also then be seen that it can divert from that. There would likely be some familiarity going on with some of the current elements of disharmony then we could incorporate as you mentioned earlier on. Perhaps one of the wearers died recently of illness and the son/daughter have become the unwilling bearer of the cursed thing? Might even be that he/she doesn't even know what it does.

Dang, imagine the opposite of laughter (I think it was Gloom the vid said) with that sort of thing going on. It'd be a confusing nightmare for the being. Ergo, tons of fun.

As for draining a piece of a former wearers essence (sort of like the smell) I think that's acceptable as a way to try and zone in on the location of some of the elements. Long as nopony gets killed, salted and/or burned. And yes Dean, I'm looking at you. Put the dang bag back in the car.

And try to be careful about the rock-salt gun Widders. Gonna hurt a ton to be hit by that.

P.S. Yes, I seem to have missed those two... Drat. -,-' I'll get 'em done next wave mate, promise.

Oh right, and before I forget it, I am impressed by the movie reference with the dragon heart you and @dragon4111 pointed out. I totally missed that. xD Great movie for sure.

                                                ===============================================================

 

Last off, I have to say that posts will be somewhat delayed again mates. I know, it sucks bundles, but after going to the training cventer for the first time in ten years a few days ago, my arms hurts a lot if I try to move them too much, and it makes the writing very slow. This OOC post alone took a heck of a time, and a full blown post would be worse.

I'll hope the muscle pain will go down tomorrow, but even if doesn't, I'll get to work on trying to slowly get something written. I just want to try and ease up on my arms today, so there's a chance they'll be more with me tomorrow instead of being two lumps of hurt.

Well, while she can't use the standard six, it never said she lost the traits that allowed her to use them. She only lost the ability to use them, as they had probably passed on to new wielders.

 

As for the rest. I can send in the same PM group you and me are currently talking in.

[Foxy Socks 2,599]

I will be busy for a few days, so I will be inactive on the forims until then. I should be back on here soon though.

@Foxy Socks Ah, don't get in a rush there Foxxie! It usually takes me a good day or two for me to respond to a response myself. Things shouldn't move too fast as to leave you too far in the dust!

Awesome! I'm Glad you like the time travel Idea I'll start watching the IC post for when you give me a sort of lead in or introduction on how I got there then.

That said not rush on it either Give your arms a break, I can wait.

[Seamore Sandwich 471]

@Maple Bat

@Blitz Boom

 

I have some ideas to get @Maple Bat started, but it involves a little "God-modding" where I dictate what happens to her and Zhu briefly.  Are you okay with that?

 

@Maple Bat

 

I also need an idea of where your character should end up.  Is there any part of the Roleplay in particular you're interested in?  If not, we can come up with something else as we go.  I have backup plans if that's the case.

[Maple Bat 3,568]

@Seamore Sandwich

Well I didn't have a place in mind of where she should end up.

That said, Yes I am ok with you taking over some of her interactions, I will be able to just roll with the punches and kinda follow your lead.

@Maple Bat

 

Okay.  I'll try to get a post done tomorrow.  If I can't, I might have to wait until the weekend.

[Maple Bat 3,568]

@Seamore Sandwich

As I said take your time I'm exited to see it.

[Midnight_Aurora 571]

@Maple Bat, @Seamore Sandwich

Also, I could have Cosmic come in around ya. I didn't have an idea of how I would have him show up. So it could be that upon arrival, somepony could randomly bump into him. For at least getting him in, I wouldn't mind a god moding of him. But that's only for his introduction and first appearance.

[Seamore Sandwich 471]

@Midnight_Aurora

 

I think that could work.  There should be a perfect opportunity for that after my post, as long as @Maple Bat is okay with it.  The intro I have in mind to set things up is part of my ongoing story, but I don't plan for any of my characters involved to stick around for any kind of interaction, so it would help to have another character around to keep things going.  Basically, my characters will do what they do and leave.

[Widdershins 9,959]

   You know, I'll never get the sentiment that ponies just outright can't eat meat. Horses do.

    Just because you're biologically built to be a herbivore doesn't mean there's anything stopping you. Sure, I'll agree there's budgeroom there between "species" and dimensions, but I consider it something like how humans eat escargo, Foie Gras (goose liver) or fish eggs. That doesn't seem natural either! Much like raw fish in seafood I wouldn't doubt that there's some high class restaurant in Canterlot that's found a way to make it work & have it catch on purely by fad status. Stuff that'd likely make a farmpony like Applejack retch immediately just at the thought. Higher society tends to find ways to eat some pretty whackadoo stuff!

   (though... yeah, ungulate based meat like Beef, pork or horseflesh... can only be in Griffon cuisine I would suppose...)

[Foxy Socks 2,599]

Well I should be back now. I did I miss anything much?

@Maple Bat

Then all I need is to finish with Anomaly and have Cacora go off on her self discovery quest.

 

@Seamore Sandwich

I will leave Cosmic's first intro to you.

 

@Blitz Boom

Also, Blitz, I will be posting a request for Cacora to Twilight. It will involve what has been talked about before on the subject of meeting with Thorax. Just thought to give ya the heads up.

[Seamore Sandwich 471]

@Midnight_Aurora

 

I've already made my post.  I didn't add your character in or anything, but if you want to have your character come across Maple Bat as she's waking up, go for it.  I didn't see your post until after I typed everything up.
