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

I was thinking it might be a good idea to either bring Charlie into the future or bring Moonlit and Ziggy back in time to when Charlie is.  It might be easier to bring them back because there are time sensitive events surrounding Charlie (specifically the body Vivid is working on for them).  They can easily be brought back to the future later, but it would be a lot harder for Vivid to follow if Charlie is brought forward.  Also, to clarify, Charlie was a magical tree which exploded as it was being cut down, becoming a dream spirit and accidentally possessing Briar.  Charlie then got a different perspective of the world and decided they wanted to explore it if possible.  Charlie left Briar and passed on to the Dream Realm, made a deal with Vivid for a body, was possessed by a demon, then became tethered to a stick that used to be a part of them.  In short, Charlie is a dream spirit on a stick.

 

P.S.  If it wasn't already clear, Charlie is genderless and therefore goes by the "they, them, their" pronouns.

If you can come up with something more chaotic, such as having them be in an alternate universe, by all means, go for it.  We can write it in retroactively to affect Ziggy and Serenade as they originally fell through the floor so that it doesn't interrupt what's already going on.

Or maybe everyone that enters the castle is being brought back in time by about a century?  It could work.

It sounds like you have an idea, so who am I to argue against it? I'm in.

If you want Charlie found where he hides right now, are we to have him be found by Widdershins, or are we going with Widders's ghost (can't remember the name) tossing Cherish through some walls to nick the torch and lure the two living visitors into his trap, then Cherish could hit Charlie.

I'm interested in hearing other ideas on how it'd work, then we can think of an aftermath later. The distortion sounds like it would have some kind of side effect.

I was thinking it might be fun to bring Penny and Scarcity's investigation to Battenberg's bakery, and the dynamic would be quite interesting.  Penny owns a chocolate shop so she would relate well with Battenberg, and Scarcity has the kind of attitude that can either clash with Victoria or make them good friends depending on how things go.  What do you think?

  Muahaha...  Think I've got me a good idea now! Tell y'all what...

  @Moonlit, @Blitz Boom & @Seamore Sandwich

   I figure, perhaps, since the two mares seem to be on their way out, we can drop the story idea for my Musical Ghost. See, as I say, Widdershins has open portals literally hovering around Ponyville that most can't see. This could mean that our two adventurers could unknowingly wander into a pool of errant Chaos magic on their way out of the castle into the forest (since I position one of my portalholes right outside the Castle of the Two Sisters) this could then lead them to the same "setting" as your planted spirit to enable them to interact without much of me even needing to introduce another character! ...short of any of the parties involved wondering what happened...

   ..but I do have the Everfree littered with unique species... should one get lost...

  The two things I worry about there though is: Placement & Ziggy's wounds.

  How far Ziggy & Serenade would need to wander until they chance upon Charlie, I guess I can leave to you, Seamore.

 Secondly... well, I hestitate to push a hurt mare all that far... though really, from their view there shouldn't be much happening to them other than a few moments stumbling & some tingling. But I do look forward towards setting up a scene though!

[Blitz Boom 4,621]

@Widdershins @Moonlit @Seamore Sandwich

So... We wander outside, to be absorbed into a gate that both transcends time and puts them into the closed off section of the basement where Charlie is? I have to ask then, is the gate a one way ticket? Cause if it is, I might need for Cherish to go a little... Poltergeistery to get them out. No big deal really, though... Heh, no, I will let my brain decide in the moment hor Ziggy will fare through this.

Some words on time though: Serenade and Ziggy aren't too far in front of the others. I think... Two or three days? So having them go back will not do much beyond really confuse Princess Luna when they eventually contact her, considering how they have a cure that she never handed over to them in this new timeline. Something to keep in mind Seamore, though I can imagine Moonlit might have something to say too regarding this. I... Might not be correct with the timeline.

Anyway, back to the situation with the portals. I take it perhaps Widders himself will come around then? Things will go... Strange, to say the least. Could be interesting though.

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

 

@Seamore Sandwich @Battenberg

You know me Seamore, I'm game for crossing the streams for some fun, though Battenberg should likely know what we're talking about, before making a decision.

Basically, Scarcity (antiques dealer) and Penny (Magic candy store owner) found some false bits in circulation, and are going at it for generally tge same reason: To find the forger and stop him/her.

They are in Canterlot at the moment though, talking to an officer who dealt with the forger in the past. Shouldn't be too hard to get them to Manehattan though. Could be they showed up just as our current bakery encounter ends? Not sure how else to prolong it otherwise, though it's up to you Battenberg. We can figure something out otherwise. I will let you know though, that Seamore is a plotting master. Never know what he might plan. :3 Mostly fun.

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

 

@Radience

Hey there mate, good to see you again.

Last time, we ended with my char leaving yours alone yo do some gambling. What happens next and what I'm to do, will depend kn what you're doing next.

[Little Snowdrop 296]

I just want to let you know that I'll quit this RP for the next few weeks... I just don't have enough time to write texts long enough for a RP right now. Besides, I couldn't really find any motivation the last few weeks... I guess I just need some time and wait 'till I get more time and motivation again.

[Victoria Sponge 1,017]

@Blitz Boom @Seamore Sandwich

Sounds like an interesting idea, would definitely help to extend the encounter out. I'm game. 

I would like to maybe try out one more of my cake based OCs maybe as well. Cupcake Sprinkles is Battenberg's former apprentice and runs her Fillydelphia branch. It could be nice if she paid a visit, maybe a poorly timed visit due to it coinciding with this investigation.

I can hold her off if she'd over complicate things and maybe slot her in a bit later.

It's fine if you think she wouldn't work though, I'm having a lot of fun with Victoria.

Edited August 26, 2017 by Battenberg

[Blitz Boom 4,621]

@Battenberg @Seamore Sandwich

Seems fine with another cake OC, but if you wanna focus things more with Vicky and Battenberg, I'd agree that waiting for another time might be beneficial.

Also, something Seamore said I forgot to address before. Scarcity might get along with Victoria, though in the way she does with everypony, which is mostly superficial.

Scarcity attempts to bond with those whom she thinks can be of some service to her at a point in the future, or whom she finds interesting for whatever reason, but she haves no friends. That would require her to trust somepony, and that isn't something she can just do.

But hey, could still be something for Victoria. She would likely not know anyway, and Scarcity could find her attitude amusing, considering the mare's clearly meager standing. Victoria in turn might like Scarcity as she is a mare of higher standing who wouldn't immediately look down upon her. Could be a wonky friendship. :3

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

 

@Little Snowdrop

A more correct term would be saying you're going into hibernation. Come back when it ends mama bear, okay? We'll still be here, though I can't promise there's any cake left at that point.

[Victoria Sponge 1,017]

@Blitz Boom

I think Victoria could just about "get along" with someone like her as long as she doesn't try to touch her or bring any kind of dirt anywhere near her.

[Widdershins 9,959]

Sorry I haven't been around this week. I procrastinated, and now I'm having issues with the forums, so it'll likely be a while yet... and now I gotta headache... I just ain't been feeling up to snuff, sorry... hopefully I can soon... 

[Blitz Boom 4,621]

@WisePie @Maple Bat

Just for the record Wise, it helps if you tag who you write with so they can see it. Maple, you're up lad.

[Maple Bat 3,568]

@Blitz Boom

Ahh, Right sorry!

[Seamore Sandwich 471]

I'll try to get my posts done tomorrow or Saturday if I can.

[Widdershins 9,959]

 So, uh, To @Blitz Boom and all else whom it may concern, still dealing with my parents in town. Things won't calm down until such time as their gone so... another two days I should guess? Then I can get onto being creative enough to crank something like rp out! Sorry! I don't mean to be so unreliable!

[7GrandDad 19]

Hello!  I came over here to inquire if I could roleplay here?  Here is the character I'm using for reference.

 

[Sekel 692]

@Widdershins & @Lloyd & @Blitz Boom & @Jedishy

Sorry about the long wait, I was waiting for Widdershins to post before I did so I can do it all in one hit.

[Widdershins 9,959]

@Dji Sorry about keeping you waiting! They ought to be on their way tomorrow and I should be able to get on it then! I'm just hoping I don't get too far behind!

  Gosh... how long has it been?... more then a week? I may need a bit of a refresher, @Blitz Boom, heh...

  Think the two mares in the castle are still on their way out before they hit the forest proper. Hopefully @Seamore Sandwich's tree elemental can do something for healing them too!

[hollow-shades 129]

@Blitz Boom So, Im back to the forums! And, could I get back to the RP too? The only problem is that I decided to re-work Musical and Rose, so could I start re-RPying with this guy for now?

 

[Blitz Boom 4,621]

@7GrandDad

Hey there. I'm sorry it took this long to reply, but it was a bit of a busy weekend. I'm here now though, and seeing your character, I'm thrilled about it. You have made a good, solid ponysona with good limits, depth, personality, and even morals. A good character that I'll definitely give an approved mark to the RP.

Now then, we need to think where to fit you. Ponyville is a bit hectic now with a lot of workers repairing things, and a giant dragon looming over it (so far, not violent) so it might be a bit wonky to just plummet you in without an explanation. Usually I would suggest wandering from one point and towards it, or start an adventure somewhere else and then see if we could push towards this, but considering your OC is an alchemist, perhaps I can add another suggestion.

Basically, the last two days have been crazy, so what if your OC accidentally cracked a sleeping potion in her shop? She wouldn't have known what happened, I can write in that her shop wasn't among the buildings damaged, and we could have her wake up now as it wears off, and the noise from the outside gets her attention. I can also have a character of mine come in and check up on her, as she hadn't been seen in a few days. The char I used could then explain what was needed to yours, and you'd be caught up to things.

You don't need to worry about others just yet. We tend to RP in smaller sections here, even if we are within the same town, so it can easily just be a one on one for a time.

As for pairings, I can either make a new, or perhaps one of my current ones would interest you? I have a dozen or so (you can see a list in the google doc under my siggy) but also a few I haven't written down yet. One of them is a potion-maker of sorts too. Poisons mainly though, but she might be a kindred one to speak with if you'd prefer that. I can also work with *gullible idiot test subject* or *concerned friend* or something like that. Your pick really.

So, what's it gonna be mate? And again, welcome to the show.

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

 

@Seamore Sandwich

Looking forward to it mate.

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

 

@Widdershins

Pretty much where you left off with it mate. kaltrops group is halfway through the forest by now, our one on ones are the same, and as for the castle, they are getting close to the exit. Next page can get it done.

 

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

 

@Flinp

That's alright mate. Frankly, I can't even remember you (I am sorry, but my memory is like a barrel with holes in it) so let's look at your chars with fresh eyes.

Well, your char seems fine, but I'd like to ask a few things. Mainly that you don't spit acid on ponies. I hope that was self explanatory anyway, but just to be sure. And for a minor idea, let it take a bit of time eating through, so anypony behind the wall can get out of the way. Think the Xenomorph blood in the Alien franchise.

Beyond that, I can accept him. Now for placements... I'm tempted to sic Void on you, as her anti-magic aura would disrupt your disguise, though she is also the sort who wouldn't want to fight. Perhaps somepony to manipulate into thinking better of him and be an ally, yes? Though, keep the part about cocooning ponies in. She wouldn't approve.

I can aslso whip up a less moral being for you to play off with. I always did wonder if I should make my deposed changeling queen a char... Hmm, I'll let it be up to you. I'm sure we can work something out.

[hollow-shades 129]

@Blitz Boom Well, All Stingler does is shapeshifting into other ponies and cocooning them only if nescessary. His acid powers can melt through acid, but it would problably only leave bruises in actual pony skin. Except if he bites, of course.

Stingler is still loyal to Chrysalis (number #1 reason why he didn't metamorph yet) but your idea of the chrysalis queen sounds pretty cool.

[7GrandDad 19]

Thanks for the compliments!  I thought I would try building a character that would be more morally ambiguous than your average normally-idealistic character.

 I'm currently playing Dungeons and Dragons at a friend's house, but I'll try to get my post up tonight, or if this session goes on a little too long then I will try to post next afternoon.

[Blitz Boom 4,621]

@7GrandDad

I like the enthusiasm, but we still need to talk about how to proceed with you. As mentioned earlier, I had some suggestions, but I can't respond to you or know the best setting if I don't know how you wish to attack this, so to speak. I can make the character to respond to you with a surprise, no worries, but I need to know the setting. It helps determine also if you're mingling into how things are in town, or going off somewhere else.

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

 

Alright, sounds grand. And no worries, I didn't want to offer you to her as your queen. Though if yours are a Chrysalis loyalist, they'd likely know one another. She lost a battle of hives to Chrysalis prior to the attack on Canterlot, and as a result, forfeited herself and her entire hive to Chrysalis' service. When she lost a good chunk of her hive and her home to King Thorax, the former queen here left her. She is under the impression that Chrysalis have proven herself to be too weak to lead anypony anymore. Could be a bit of tension.

Anyway, sounds like we have a candidate there for somepony to use with you. I'll see if I can make a character in one of the creators tomorrow after work, and then I'll have Onache ready. Have you thought about the setting to write in? I assume Ponyville, but wit the current events going on, may I suggest that your character have been away from the town for a few days (Let's say he went off to answer the call of Chrysalis) and comes back to all the weirdness going on. I can guide things from there with NPC's and such to make sure he gets some basic knowledge of what happened in his absence. :3

[hollow-shades 129]

@Blitz Boom Alright. Stingler actually does lives in Ponyville now, in a fake pony-looking form. Considering that Stingler isn't fully loyal to Chrysalis, his interaction with another queen would be really intresting. So do I start RPyng with Stingler coming back to Ponyville?

Also, keep in mind I will be re-working my other characters and add them in. Not sure how though.
