Would it be alright if I causally mention the dragon Ancalagon in my next post as our OCs follow Spike to the library? If so, what are the key things to keep in mind when writing it?

Hmm well for instance Ancalagon is currently standing over Ponyville. casting a large shadow. And dragons are able to smell eachother by their scent. To other dragons Ancalagon is a dragon lord of old.

Thanks! I got just the thing for Spike to say about it.

@dragon4111

Wait, he is? How big of a shadow and where is he?

He's very large right now large enough to tower over Ponyville it self.

@Blitz Boom

Could you have Alonsus explain Ancalagon to Will? If he's going to get some explanation, Alonsus should do so, having been in town for quite a while.

Sorry about the super late reply (Had a whole 863 notifications when I logged in! ) Just been a lot going on. Got hit by a CRV (mini-SUV) on the way home the other friday, took my A+ test somewhat recenty (failed one portion, working to retake it), trying to work some more on a story for a friend, trying to get the person who hit me's insurance company to pay for the hospital bill (Which I definitely can't afford), and of course working at work. So yeah, busy busy busy, lol. Should've replied sooner and stuff... Unfortunately things are a bit hectic right now but hey, at least I'm not dead right?

Been a long few days, so I apologize for not writing here in the OOC. I'll get to it tomorrow (Hopefully work or something else doesn't mess up the whole day) so if there's anything urgent here... Imagine I am answering, but trying to do so in mime. Might buy me a few hours of rest.

lol, Maybe not, but in Florida there definitely are. Got hit by a mini SUV as it was pulling out of the driveway into  the road. Went flying a good distance, nearly made it to the other side of the road, lol. Can't really remember the impact, just remember trying to avoid the car and then waking up to police cars and people stopped on the side of the road.

 

Edit: Admittedly, I didn't think I'd been knocked out, but it's kind of hard to refute looking back on it

Edited July 19, 2017 by Shineling

[Widdershins 9,959]

 Geez, @Shineling, so you weren't even in a car at the time? I guess, fortunately enough a car isn't going to be going all too fast coming out the driveway from a dead stop.  Sounds a bit like a concussion, do get checked out to see you don't have anything fractured! Never would have thought that being punted like that could be something anybeing could survive in real life! 

[Blitz Boom 4,621]

@Trixie The Evil

Okay, that's strange. I distinctively remember typing a response to you. I can even remember most of the words... Guess I must have deleted it like an idiot somehow. I'll amend that mate, sorry.

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

 

@Dji

Seems like a good character. Well done, and nice image.

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

 

@~Phoenix~

No idea whatsoever. I don't really plan much in advance, since I think it's more fun to see where the wind blows. Who knows? Perhaps the train malfunctions in Judge Junction, or they'll get food poisoning, or a hundred other things. Life is a mystery. :3

I won't actually give any of them food poisoning though. Just a thing that came to mind.

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

 

@Shineling

0.0 Holy (Censored) that's horrible. You poor thing.

I hope nothing was broken or left you in a lot of pain? And I hope the insurance won't find some sort of way to weasel out of this. I mean come on, it's not like you drove into them. You were hit. What sort of actual reason can there be to not admit fault for the drivers there, even if it might have been an accident?

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

 

@WiiGuy2014

What he can explain is that this over-sized lizard showed up out of nowhere a day before, and he have no idea who this is. Ancalagon is not a native.

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

 

@dragon4111

So Ancalagon is currently some length over the tallest building in Ponyville then? Could you say how much please, since if he's literally, physically bigger than the entirety of Ponyville, and just towering over it, it might be an issue. Nopony haves fun if one being taking a step can destroy the entirety of the setting via an earthquake.

I might just be paranoid here, and he's simply just towering over and casting a large shadow in the direction the sun guides it (Depending on the angle, it could cover a lot really) but I just wanna make sure. Good post regardless though. ^^

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

 

@dosey doe

Ah, that explains it.

[Sekel 692]

@Blitz Boom

Woo! Glad you like the character! Now, can I introduce her as a griffin or as a changeling? I've actually got the same guy who drew Aurora's picture to draw her as a griffin too.

@Widdershins

Coul Aurora actually be introduced to Kaltrops' group?

[dragon4111 914]

@Blitz Boom

He's just sitting and he is as tall as the crystal eye sore castle.

[Blitz Boom 4,621]

@Dji

I figure you'd be better off starting her as a griffin. More trust them than changelings.

And for the record, I support introduction to Kaltrops' group if it is. So the decision rests on @Widdershins. ^^

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

 

@dragon4111

Ah excellent. Not too big, but certainly not too small to be intimidating either. Thank you for the clarification.

[Widdershins 9,959]

@Dji   (okay, now the dumb Mentions aren't even bothering to work...)

   Well, that group is quite a ways out of town; most likely will be quite a while till they can catch up. ...Especially if I keep running out of time in a day to respond like I have been...

 You can just sideline that and just think of it as an eventuality we'll get to at some point in the future.

  Kaltrops is based on a sort of theory I have, Dear D'jinni. A lot in life can be stressful or painful, it's all in how you deal with it. Inward or outward; Absorb or Reflect. Both I think you can see exemplified in a great many you meet. No doubt one knows of the introvert's habit of internalizing their anguish, which can reach a crises point and boil over into how they interact & act. Then, there's what my lil' draggie does, is reflect. Assume that past experiences exemplify the whole and then acting like & becoming that which you felt you were treated & beginning the cycle anew as much as the previous example. 

  It's like ice cream headaches! Eat one too fast & what do you do? Quietly whimper to yourself while you double over holding your head or scream in shock then rush to do something about it or blame somebeing else?

  I like to think of my character as a flipside to your coin. Heck, they're practically an inverted color scheme from each other!

 

   Oh, just caught on that you meant "the sister to your Dawn character." Well, yeah, I suppose she could swoop down somehow to join along. Kind of had the idea that Kaltrop would just sit dejectedly on top of that carriage for a while and find himself in the middle of a ponytown before he could do anything about it. He ain't a friendly sort, he likely wouldn't go into one if he can help it. Sort of like how I feel Gilda only ever went into Ponyville because she wanted to be with Dash.

Edit:  There was another page?!!? How unreal.

Whoops, my baad!

[Sekel 692]

@Widdershins

The mentionings not working is an odd thing.

Aurora is going on a journey around Equestria to have a look at how various ponies live. A dragon riding a carriage will definitely get her attention and @Blitz Boom is fine in Aurora joining Kaltrops' group. I just need a go ahead from you before I post anything.

@Blitz Boom @Widdershins

Yeah, I was on my bike and got hit from the side - threw me a good distance, woke up with my bike on top of me (It was a bit mangled, especially the seat). I came out of it okay though, just a concussion, a bit of a cut on my hand, and a couple of bruises. Thankfully  It's looking like the insurance company is going to pay the hospital bill, I certainly don't have the 5 grand to throw at the first bill, and apparently there might be two more. Hospitals work so weird - This is why I never go to the doctor's, lol. 5 thousand dollars for the first of a possible three bills to look me over and tell me I'm fine.

   Haah! Good one, DragonBro!

 

 

  Oh, and been thinking he ought be as innocuous as he can get up there. Do feel free though to interject if you can think of a good way in there, @Dji! Just don't expect a civil greeting from Kaltrop, heh.

[Sekel 692]

@Widdershins

Really? Kaltrops hates griffins too? If that's the case, then Aurora may as well be a pony!

[Widdershins 9,959]

@Dji  

 Well, I'd say it's more like he probably wouldn't have any concept of them beforeclaw. I'd much rather you be more loyal to your own story first. Those clashing continuities are what better invokes hilarity in rping, I daresay! You do you!

[Blitz Boom 4,621]

Just letting you all know that I might not be able to make the posts today. i will try, but another employee at work seems to have given me the flu and I'm a mixture of tired, snotty and aching, so going rather erratic right now. Just wanted to say in case I didn't get it down, as per protocol when I don't keep the schedule.

Hope you're all having a better start to the weekend than me. ^^

Get well soon! Better to look after your health and the post can wait until you're feeling better.

[dragon4111 914]

@Blitz Boom

Oh my Ancalagon is flirting with the dryad.

[Moonlit 593]

@Blitz Boom I will be away for the next two weeks. My sister and I always go camping the end of July/beginning of August. 

Edited July 21, 2017 by Moonlit

[Blitz Boom 4,621]

@Moonlit

Enjoy your camping trip. Remember, if you see snakes, scream as girlish as you can. If you hit a high enough tone they'll find you annoying and slither away.

(Warning, do not actually do this. The snakes will not go, and you'd likely attract bears or some kind of irate badgers)

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

 

@dragon4111

Well, hopefully his pick-up lines aren't worse than her bark. I chose to beleaf that at least.

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

 

@EQ_Theta

Managed to get it done, but I'm out of commission for the rest of the weekend. Hopefully I feel more like a human (Or a unicorn. I'd love to feel magical) after that, and can be back at it Monday.

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

 

@Widdershins

If the mentions doesn't wanna work, you just need to delete it, perhaps take it a line further back if you can, and then enter and rewrite it again. happens to me sometimes. Rarely that it comes to the point where the site needs to be refreshed.

Unless you just write the name then quickly press enter. That haves the chance to never work. You'll need to press the name on the list.

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

 

@Shineling

Sounds like things will thankfully work out though. And that hospital bill is insane. O.o Crazy place that doesn't allow people to go to hospital without potentially bankrupting them.

But you're safe, and that's all that matters right now. Get over your bruising quickly, okay?
