A dragon had tough scales, and Marley were not taken down by a mere slide of bricks.

Just want to point out... because Ruby actually transforms between the forms instead of mere illusions, in pony form she is just as vulnerable as a pony. Though as the eye trick now and her hiding her eyes and hoofs previously demonstrated, she can also partly transform, and the transformation is instantaneous regardless of the amount.

edit- Also, since it seems like Nada is going to meet Luna and or Celestia at some point, one question...would they recognize her? since she used to sing for the ponies in unnamed town before the sirens were banished, and it has been said in the RP that she knows who they are.

I'm sorry I couldn't reply in time, I tend to be busy these days

Also, the train Azure is building is similar to the British HST, but sun powered instead of diesel powered

Here is a video of it at full speed, so you can easily imagine the Celestial Express 125 matching that speed

 

Of course the solar train would be quieter and would have a more MLP-like livery

@Emperor Blu Traincrown

I believe the correct term is *Meep meep*  Quick train.

Won't be responses from me until Monday yet again. Need to visit my dad for the weekend, so that'll take my time. Hope you'll all do great until I return.

[PickFairy 41]

Uhmmm... excuse me, I hope I'm not poking my muzzle where it doesn't belong... but I'd like to join this roleplay... (Though it seems I might not receive a response till Monday)

May I ask on the current situation? If it's still open to newcomers? And, if the setting still remains?

I'd like to choose one of my characters for it, I haven't made the characters just yet but I'm still interested... and I may have to come up with a new character entirely if the setting has changed. 

[Moonlit 593]

Apologies, came down with Ze Plague, and wasn't even able to get out bed for the past half week. 

[Catpone Cerberus 23,604]

@Blitz Boom

You can make the next entry with Berry without my post, I don't really know what Nada would say or do in current moment that would be worth a post.  Since only thing she would logically do would be reply to Serenade, and saying aright isn't really a quality post. 

[OptimisticNeighsayer 478]

I love Pony RPs but have never done one here. This seems like a good place to get my hooves wet.

Is there something like a form for which I can plan out my character? I usually find those helpful.

@PickFairy

Hello. I can still answer the OOC, or try to at least.

We are still open to newcomers, and the setting is varied now. You can be in Ponyville, Canterlot, Manehattan, Dragon Island, etc. After some time I had to open up for more areas to allow for some more variety in where people wanted to be.

Basically, you can be wherever you want, and if something is happening in said area, I can inform you of it, and you can see if you want to be near that, or something else. Whatever I can do to make it better for everyone, including someone new, like yourself. So go ahead and mention your character, where you'd like to be, and I will do all I can to make him/her fit in. ^^

I will need some base information like the characters name, general look/picture, personality, a bit about the background, and if the being have any kind of powers, to have that discussed fully. Trying to make sure to not get a Mary Sue, so need to be certain of abilities, you know?

Hope to hear from you soon. Have fun.

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

 

@OptimisticNeighsayer

Same as written above basically covers what I'd want to say to you. As for how a bio can be set up, I can show you a simple one you can use as an example if you'd like?

 

Ignore the random symbols here and there. Sadly part of the experience since the Chatacter pages are messed up from the code somehow. Still waiting for a fix.

Any more questions, feel free to ask.

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

 

@Moonlit

Good to hear you weren't brought down by the plague, my friend.  Was getting a bit worried about you.

[PickFairy 41]

@Blitz Boom

Oh? You're replying OOC, why thank you. I appreciate that.

If I may, I'm interested in doing Ponyville as that's what attracted me to this... may I know what's going on there? Aka current surrounding characters, and such?

As for character, I haven't made the character page as I'm not sure how to yet- but uhm I'd like to play my character "Butterscotch Puddin'" She's my first oc and I'd like to develop her a bit more. She's an earth pony candy maker, so she has a knack of always carrying candy with her everywhere she goes. Her hobby is playing guitar and singing along to her own made songs and such. Her powers are earth pony strength, her understanding of cooking though she has difficulties with anything other than dessert, and to me every earth pony has a natural understanding on nature so I'd say she knows herbs and understands their healing abilities. 

Uhm... I'm not sure what else... I haven't developed her much.. ^^' But, uhm I'd like her to be visiting Ponyville in search of new candy recipes? I think? Heh 

[Blitz Boom 4,634]

@PickFairy

Not a whole lot is going on currently. The town got wrecked some time ago after a monster attack, and is in the final stages of being rebuild, with various races from something called the Courier's Guild there to do the brunt of the work. They were NPC's of a former RP'er, but I can't have them leave until they are done, so just consider them to be little more than tools at this point.

Celestia and Luna were in town to discuss things with Twilight, but they're more or less on their way, so they can be ignored for the time being. Uhm... There was a sandstorm in the Everfree, after a sphinx landed and turned some of the forest into desert, but that's calmed down now too. Oh, there were also a group of guards fighting a witch at the edge of town for like, 5 minutes before they took the fight elsewhere, which were basically seen by no one.

Basically, most of what went on have already passed around Ponyville. Several of the other things are happening around other places, which leaves the area relatively calm.

Now then, to go on to your character, I think it seems fine, considering you haven't developed her fully. I approve. Also, I already have the perfect target for her to visit.

Say hello to Circle Pop. A candy maker of mine who lives in Ponyville, who tends to travel around the world to find new ingredients to work into her own candy. When she's not out travelling for that, or to visit her beloved in Canterlot (He will show eventually, but I won't spoil it) she runs her shop in Ponyville. And funnily enough, she's there now.  What a coincidence.

Sounds like someone that Butterscotch would like to meet?

[PickFairy 41]

@Blitz Boom

Dude, goodness hopefully Ponyville is going to be okay. And so too, the forest, but time will tell.

As for Circle Pop, she looks lovely and I'd agree with you they can meet up. Should we do it where Butterscotch has heard of the shop, and came to visit her in particular? Or, perhaps she sent a letter in advance asking to visit, and Circle's expecting her? Uhm today I'm making it my goal to make the character sheet, so once I complete it I'll let you look at it and then we'll go from there. ^ ~^ 

Thanks again for all the information about the roleplay. 

[Blitz Boom 4,634]

@PickFairy

Always happy to help. Kinda my role here to help, support and welcome, more than being a dictator.

I think you can make the visit happen as you like, though if Butterscotch is asking for guidance on the craft, a letter to make sure that Pop would have time would be the smartest. so really, it depends on whatever or not your character is one who would plan things ahead, or rather just take things as they come.

And no worries, Ponyville is fine. No dead, and most buildings that got damaged are repaired. Just for the record: Try to not interfere with the repairs. My character Last Stand is overseeing the rebuilding, as ordered by the princesses, and she's a fanatical royalist. She will make you regret it if the order and work are being messed with.

[PickFairy 41]

@Blitz Boom

PHEW! Okay so it took me literally all day to do this profile/skelly for her, it was so hard to come up with everything especially since I haven't developed her much in the first place...

But I don't wanna over do it, so yeah.. hopefully it's enough? Blah... sorry.. Here it is~

Please let me know if it's okay...

 

As for if we should do the regular approach or letter approach. I'm thinking she would write letters in advance for it, and if you want my first post could be the mailmare delivering the letter. Like, it would say that's she's coming into town and would drop by? Would that work?

[Blitz Boom 4,634]

@PickFairy

Sure, the setup could work, though wouldn't it make more sense to be seen as something of a flashback? Otherwise, we'd have the awkward situation of Butterscotch arriving a little after the letter, which doesn't leave much time.

...Wait, I got an idea. As mentioned, things have been hectic in Ponyville, with the repairs and everything, so we could simply say that your first could could well be the letter being delivered, but during the morning, with Pop then being busy for most of the day prepping and trying to help out here and there. (I will describe that to some degree during my post) and then your second post would be the arrival of Butterscotch during the evening, before the sun is dragged down. It's about 7 or so in the autumn days for folks, so the sun shouldn't be made to set just yet.  Works for you, or would you prefer another way?

Now, as for the character bio: It looks great. Short, to the point, and containing all the important information. It's just as it should be, and I'll once more repeat that I approve of her.

I especially like the parts about the wallet and getting by on the road with singing for tips. You'd be surprised how many wouldn't consider explaining how someone could keep things running if they travel a lot.

[PickFairy 41]

@Blitz Boom

Honestly that seems like it would work. The mailmare delivering it in the morning and then Butterscotch arriving that evening is what you're suggesting, yes?

Btw if I roleplay the mailmare, can I make it Derpy?  Or would you rather make it just a normal npc mailmare?

Would it be okay if I make the post tonight? I'd like to post before I have to livestream, and I'd like to break the ice sooner rather than later. 

And thanks for approving her, I'm happy you do 

[Blitz Boom 4,634]

@PickFairy

Sure, go ahead and use Derpy if you'd like.  And post when you wish. Sorry for the late reply here, but it was past midnight and I needed to sleep. I reply to stuff today (I do so every second days in the thread) so it would be good if I could get your reply in as well.

 

[PickFairy 41]

@Blitz Boom

Sorry I had work today, so I haven't been able to get around to posting it and I have to go to sleep... I'll try to post it tomorrow morning. > < My bad! 

[PickFairy 41]

@Blitz Boom

Okay, I just posted right before bed time, sorry that it wasn't in the morning. Hopefully my post is okay, I should mention that I'm a bit rusty. ^^' 

I have notifications for the topic turned on, so I should be able to know when you reply. 

[Moonlit 593]

@Blitz Boom Ah the irony is writing your post and you get an notification that the GM has posted, and will have to wait for the next bulk posting  

[Blitz Boom 4,634]

@Moonlit

Happens sometimes. I should've taken the time to mention you after that, but I wasn't feeling too good, and just wanted to get to bed. Still not too fresh, but I'll manage to get some stuff out today, worry not.

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

 

@PickFairy

Are you getting the notifications mate? Just wanna make sure.

[Moonlit 593]

@Blitz Boom No worries, it happens. 

[PickFairy 41]

@Blitz Boom

Yes sorry, uhm I was waiting for the day to pass a bit but maybe I waited too long. I'll post in a bit.

[Blitz Boom 4,634]

@PickFairy

Trust me on this, you would've waited for months. It took us around 4 months to go through a single day the last time. In RP time goes by at a snails pace.  It's why I generally allow for anyone to work within a 24 hour period of one another, then see if things can catch up if needed be.

[OptimisticNeighsayer 478]

@Blitz Boom

So I came up with this guy to stroll around Ponyville:

Also, can I RP Starlight Glimmer here?
