@Blitz Boom Apologies for being off, without getting into too much detail, I ended up spending about several days in the hospital. I'm getting better, and will hopefully post my overdue response tomorrow. I'm going to be playing catchup. 

[Widdershins 9,959]

  @Moonlit  ...Uhm...

  I seem to recall you stating here that you had recently left on some big family camping trip or something, if I recall right. Not to mention the whole hurricane thingie and you've got me quite worried, I must say...

It will be a few days before I can post again, my head feels like an inflated balloon and I can barely focus my eyes. Have a doctor's appointment tomorrow, will post when able. 

That appointment turned into a hospital stay. >.> I'd rather not get into specifics cause ickyness but yeah, I'm getting better and can actually focus on things. But yeah, back and will be playing catch-up.

I think I figured out a safe solution for Chrysalis being Dawn’s mum as well as Aurora’s. She stole them from their original mum. The reason I say this is because in the lore of Changelings that America has, they steal children and I thought I could apply it to Chrysalis. It explains why Aurora was abandoned and it explains why she left Dawn too.

  America is being invaded by Changerlings?!!? I KNEW IT! And the only surefire way to distinguish a Changiting is by setting it on fire! ...because really, who wouldn't drop all pretenses when you're on fire?

   Well, good idea! I've always thought it was just the British Isles that had the Changeling Mythology, since they originally were meant to be just another type of fairy or sprite. Aurora kinda makes even more sense too. Whether or not the Changeling Queen serves much the same egg-laying role as a regular insect does or not, it does seem completely feasible she'd just take whatever changelings would be of use to her.

  Of course... then there'd be a whole...  Chrysalis to abandonment, then picked up by another family, then moved onto wander towards Ponyville again once they're more independent... bit of a tight timeline maybe?

  Oh, and... eh-heh...  @Blitz Boom, @Foxy Socks and Dji? I'll, uh... I'll have to set aside time tomorrow this weekend to get around to all that I done said I would! Just, heh, lemme catch up a bit? 

 

   Oh, and aaahhh.... kinda did set up where. Oh, but I get you B.B! The actual scene! Just you all would have to come over there first as... he'd be... a bit... rrrrrrooted in place! Was... did you just give away the punchline? I have a strong urge to get in another mental slapfight with you. Oh! Dat Widduh o' Mine!!! 

  *cue canned audience laughter!*

@Moonlit

O.o Holy macaroni, I'm sorry to hear you ended up in the hospital. Best wishes for your recovery, and don't strain yourself, okay? Healing first, weird pony stuff second.

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

 

@Widdershins @Dji

Going full on the lore, she'd have had to leave nymphs in their place too. Perhaps an experiment to see if she could get agents into towns at a point where nopony would suspect them, then have them backstab the villagers later on? It'd also leave the door open for potential changelings that doesn't want to have anything to do with changelings in general, as their emotions are tied to others. Such as Aurora.

Wait, is that the idea here? Did Chrysalis steal Dawn, replace her with Aurora, and then got bored and tossed Dawn out? Or were Aurora turned after she were taken? Head spinny spinny.

And Widdershins, put down the flamethrower. You're not gonna just set fire to everything.

Of course, that might be the sort of thing that a changeling would say... Muahahaha!

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

 

@Widdershins

A fourth of Anomaly is out looking for you. Set the scene, and she will find him. Stormy, Pinkie and real Anomaly isn't there to notice really, as the portal in her Baba Yaga style house have sent them to another location, where she holds her stuff. Anomaly will be able to sense if something is off on the isle, but again, still need a setup before I can do anything.

And you only set up that you had gone to her isle, not anything else. It's a large place with a lot of weird stuff going on, so just saying you went there is really not something I can work with, sorry. :/ Make something happen that they can react to, and the hunt is on. You don't even need to set an actual scene. Just have like... I don't know, magical blasts shooting into the air like an SoS and yelling somewhere. Won't spoil the surprise too much.

[Sekel 692]

@Blitz Boom & @Widdershins

No, neither. Aurora did get turned into a Changeling, yes, but she is still Dawn’s twin sister. I say this because Chrysalis took them both from their original family, and tried to raise them separately just to see if she could split her hive later on. It didn’t work so she abandoned both to the curb.

[Moonlit 593]

@Blitz Boom I am healing, just curious how much I have missed(for some reason my notifications aren't taking me back to where I was tagged)

[Widdershins 9,959]

@Foxy Socks & @Blitz Boom

   So I do good? I kinda figured Rarity would be busy & chatty. There might be some bits of the environment I mighta skipped out & glazed over, but we could always say those other ponies about where there to place or cart off orders. But Rarity does love helping out other's efforts!

  Oh, and a MoneyMare that happens to have a business partner by the name of Marley? If I could figure out how, I'd try to wedge in a Scrooge reference there!

[Seamore Sandwich 471]

@Blitz Boom

 

I figured it was time to get back to the other storylines finally.  I’ll try to get the rest of my posts done tomorrow.

[Seamore Sandwich 471]

@Blitz Boom

 

I believe you may have forgotten that in a previous post, Marcus spoke of inviting other heroes to the celebration for him to join forces with.  He hardly ever fought alone.  The followers are not expected to get involved in the fight.

 

I actually plan on bringing Hunter back as one of the heroes invited to the party.

@Blitz Boom@Widdershins 

I haven't had a reply in a few days. Did I miss a post, and is Widdershins going to do Rarity? 

 

[Blitz Boom 4,621]

@Seamore Sandwich

I did forget that, yes, but Happy could conceivably do so as well. Being brought to bear witness and everything else happening at once have to be confusing, and things may well slip in that situation. I'll keep what you said in mind for when the gathering does happen though. It should ease his mind to see things, or having had time to think it through.

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

 

@Foxy Socks

Widdershins have started with Rarity, yes. THere is also the matter of Anomaly returning and preparing to cause havoc if she isn't stopped, and Briar+Brittle mainly just trying to keep it somewhat calm. You should find the posts to check yourself though, tells it better than I can in a small summary. ^^

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

 

@Moonlit

Nope, you haven't really missed much. Ziggy is still out cold, and Cherish and Charlie are talking, and trying to find out how to use a stick from a magic tree to cure wounds. It's a weird one.

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

 

@Widdershins

You did well on Rarity. Just beware, for Chaos have come to your shop, hehe. ^^

I actually didn't think of the Christmas story reference in that. I just scoured my head for names, and for some reason, marley stuck around more. Neat though.

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

 

@Dji

Well, at least she didn't eat them? Grasping for straws here. xD

Anyway, thanks for the clarification.

[Sekel 692]

@Blitz Boom

I've never heard or seen that in changeling lore but I'm going to say yes. Be very glad.

[Foxy Socks 2,599]

@Blitz Boom @Widdershins

I am a bit confused on where to go now. Any ideas?

[Blitz Boom 4,621]

@Foxy Socks @Widdershins

I added Anomaly back for that reason. Whilst Briar attempts to speak with Rarity, the downtime where Widdershins aren't here can be used with you interacting with the draconequus. If Rarity then starts speaking with her, then I have two other chars to use for a side talk with Foxy. I can keep it going. ^^

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

 

@Dji

I don't know if it's in the lore, I just say it's good she didn't eat them.

[Widdershins 9,959]

I'm, uh... getting behind again aren't I? Well, you all will let me know, right?

 Well, anyway. I admit I kind of rattled through quite a bit in that post, @Foxy Socks. Felt it befitting with the notion that Rarity has been tasked to help out where a tailor can in these times... and constantly cutting sackcloth isn't likely something a creative type like Rarity much cherishes. Believe Briar has made some introductions, but there's still room for you to offer up your situation & greetings. Like what the story behind your article is, what you'd like done with it, emotion expressed at Rarity's willingness to help and so on. Don't think she's been introduced yet to @Blitz Boom's Brittle, and considering how "matching well together" is like a notion that Rarity does cherish, I feel somehow implied to have her point that out too.  Oh, and as for AnomalyV.2? Well, was going to think that she hasn't heard that disembodied voice quite yet. A seamstress will need her now-sentient needle at some point, right? Perhaps I can open up an avenue for shtick for you there, B.B?

  @Dji  Well, not so much Changeling Lore as insect lore. Those eat each other all the time!

  Got this odd notion last time I read one of your posts. Changeling "ponyforms" aren't exactly an inherited trait are they? Like, you might have a favored pony guise to take on, but that doesn't restrict you to just that (usually) or leave a glaring theme that can point you out to anypony who's been crossed by you before, because that'd run counter to having the natural capability to do that in the first place. What if...   what if the whole red-pegasus-mare guise was just a real fuzzy memory she had a long, long time ago about her sister Dawn? Not important enough to dwell on as there's too few details, but just strong enough where its led to just a mild compulsion to craft that for a temporary disguise.

  Waaait... Guise & Disguise mean the same thing?... guh... English language...

  And... If you don't mind me saying so, Aurora kinda flipped personality pretty quickly there soon as she got into town. She was pretty bubbly & sociable meeting two in the countryside, but I suppose its still quite fitting to get notably more cautious in a crowd, like you did point out. Think I addressed the alternative as well with my own too! Namely blustering and making matters worse, lol!

  Nice new banner by the way!

[Foxy Socks 2,599]

@Blitz Boom @Widdershins

I'm sorry, but I just don't know where to go or what to do. I haven't seen a reply to my last post, so I assumed nothing had happened since then?

[Blitz Boom 4,621]

@Foxy Socks

Awh bloody hay... This one's on me. I checked again, and I forgot to add a tag with your name in it. I just added Widdershins. *facehoof*

Go one page back from the newest, then to my last post on that page. Briar is starting the post off.

I'm sorry about this. No wonder you didn't know what to do. I'll edit the tag in too, just to be sure.

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

 

@Widdershins

I have a feeling that Rarity will have a hard time matching anything with Brittle. She is a mixed bag of random colors. She'd have to borrow one of Pinkie's clown outfits. ^^

As for Anomaly, she is still hidden for now, so go ahead and use her for sowing if you want. I will not be responsible for what the work will end up looking like though. Hehe. Anomaly is a theatrical sort, with at least some kinds of restrints, so it'd make enough sense for her to keep in character for now and wait for juuust the right time to pop up and make a mess of things.

I like what you mention to @Dji, about the memory being somewhat imprinted. But I will like to add that I think some changelings just have forms they're more comfortable with in general. Unless they're taking others, a form of their own can be seen as a great fall back, and kinda like any of us having a favorite costume. Sure, we could use something else than the vampire teeth and cape, but we like it over the headless horseman outfit, so it's used more often.

As for Aurora, I think it makes perfect sense that she's more tense in town. As she mentions, she doesn't want to be associated with changelings, and with many ponies around, paranoia about being caught in being one can rise. I think it fits at least. ^^

Oh right, and while I remember it Widders: Flinp - who I wrote Onache with - haven't been around for quite a while currently, so if you have a want for a changeling queen, lemme know. I have one in town. I never know if that is a want, but your mind can work in mysterious, interesting ways. You remind me of Seamore really, just a bit more nutty. ^^

@Widdershins & @Blitz Boom

To answer your question, Widders, yes, you are behind. Maybe we should have mentioned that earlier.

Aurora did kinda flip personality, but remember, she did practically ram herself into the back of the carriage and hurt her head. When she did come back, she realised she was in a crowd she didn’t remember being a part of. It was an unwilling situation so she got paranoid. If it was a willing situation, she’d be fine, no worries, and still bubbly.

Aurora doesn’t remember having a sister, but she does remember a red and orange blob so maybe that could be her? Or their mother, even? I honestly don’t know. You’ll just have to guess and find out.

[Sekel 692]

@Widdershins

wiidddeeeerrrssss~ your presence is requested in the RPeeee~

[Widdershins 9,959]

Ah, thanks for the kick there @Dji! Been like, six days and glad I finally sat down to do it!

  Have to say, @dragon4111, didn't know what I'd do what with your little dragon call there. They've done that in the show, sure, but Spike didn't know what it was. Though Kaltrop would be a bit older... though he's lived with other dragons back in the dragonlands... but he is the sort to disregard what he's heard before. He's sorta not far from Garble I guess!

   You know, B.B? Have to wonder if a human could pick up a pony. Always kind of thought a pony's ribcage would be just a little bit smaller than a human's. Sorta like a really large dog; they're shorter since they're quadrupeds but just about as big. Well, anyhow, figured I'd leave it up to you if you wanted to try picking up my pudgy pone!

[dragon4111 914]

@Widdershins

Ancalagon is calling all the dragons towards him to see how many are there helping ponies.
