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

[FanOfManyShows 396]

@Blitz Boom

I'm not really one to like thinking ahead, since I tend to also try to jump to the moment I thought ahead to. So, probably not too much thinking ahead. Also, what you suggest is really the only thing I do at all with my characters, I think about how they should respond, and then make them respond that way, while writing the post of course as not to find myself jumping ahead.

So it seems I just have to do some more thinking, and consider the situation a bit more while making Iron Wing talk from now on.

I actually chose the element of Betrayal, although I believe Cruelty was already taken.

@Blitz Boom nice! Just saw the one for Smokey. It's nice to see so I can revisit it now and then so I can remind myself what he looks like

Of course there's a giant dragon who could change his size at a whim.

I saw the bio for Alonsus.

Looks good!

[Widdershins 9,960]

   Tulips. Maybe some snapdragons too, I've always liked those.... wh-what?....

    Oh, and good show on the....uh, showing up better on the forums!

  Alrighty! You heard the man-thing, Anomaly! Set the Depth-Charges! I'll be handing out congratulatory nuclear submarines! Still have to decide between pirate attire or skimpy naval sailor uniforms... though I'll need something for the mares too...

  While I'm at it, I'm tempted to make some snide remarks about ponies riding other ponies but... well, it's still just as cute to boot.

To wake me up, before you go go.

 ...Don' leave me hangin' on like a Yo-Yo! Wake me up! Before ya GO-GO!...

  ...and we've lost him now. Good job!

 Oh, I could never do a dragonpony; I feel I'm taking enough liberty with the two fully fledged dragons I've already just made.

  So I'll keep all that in mind then, I assume Void is the one behind the counter then. And, If I can comment on the pictures there...

    The pencil-graphite-black coats are a bit much. Don't think you should be able to see an outline that vividly. Think that black in the outline would work better as the full coat and there's just something terribly off about Void's hair. A toothpaste white hair seems to clash too brightly with the coat.... I've watched an awful lot of Your OC Sucks on Youtube, heh.

   Though I do have to say too that there's just something fun about stacking ponies. I tend to do that with my family of six since their all progressively different in size.

[dosey doe 72]

It occurred to me that I probably should have mentioned blitz in my post, so that's been added in

[Blitz Boom 4,651]

Bit busy last few hours of tonight, so I will answer OOC stuff tomorrow whilst on my way to work. Especially to you @dosey doe . I didn't miss you there.

[Widdershins 9,960]

   @Blitz Boom

   Ah, so too, I was kind of hoping Last Stand would get to see how easily Widdershins fixed his earlier mistake, however indirectly. I want it to be clear to that he's ultimately intending to be a source for good. 

   Ooh, and she's a shrine maiden you say? Note to self: Offer her cosplaying options when next we meet!

Oh, and think I'll let whatever moment is going on between Phoenix & Smoke take its path before they come over to inspect my damage.

   So cute how they're getting closer together! Were I not dead currently I'd totally be reaching into both their souls to bodyswap them for more awesome rom-com hijinks!

 

      And on an unrelated note... Am I the only one a little bit concerned where Equines are getting their milk from? And we have so many questions on dragon relations! Like how the pony doesn't get crushed to death!  ...when they hug, of course.

 

   And speaking of unrelated notes: I keep seeing that sentiment pop up an awful lot. That whole "Character is surprised that they're not being shunned & how Open & Welcoming Equestria is." I thought everyone knew that; that Equestria doesn't work on the same social rules as the real world. Most wouldn't bat an eye at a dragon walking down the street. There's comic books in cannon that show that Manehatten (well, one of the big cities) has a "Chinatown" Dragon District. Equestria is a huge world with boundless species diversity, you kind of have to quit being speciest pretty darn quick there. Ponyville's been attacked by a Godzilla-Spike and a half-bumblebee/half-polarbear mutant. I don't think most would really bat an eye at... I dunno, a mare with another head for a tail. Well, unless they were a skittish, cautious type like Fluttershy. Heck, think we've seen griffon ambassadors negotiating trade agreements or some such and griffons are the natural predator to horses in pretty much every story & cannon I've ever seen.

   Guess what I'm saying, is that notion seems negative & moot. Your free not to feel like you can't trust other's what with the life you've lead & such,( and believe me, I don't shy away from using that in my own characters, certainly) but if the majority of the entire world is already going out of their way to make you feel welcome, that's kinda just on you.

   This free world is led by a Lady that had to basically murder her own sister.(She got better.) I can think it's safe to assume forgiveness is deeply ingrained into this land.

i would allow it. would be funny and kinky

 

might be difficult, however without complete understanding of how each of our powers work. we would each have to sorta write the outcome of the actions they try for eachother.

@Widdershins

Maybe whoever is in control of the pink text can force whoever they want into skimpy uniforms, right?

Are snapdragons actually a flower type?

[Widdershins 9,960]

 @Dji  Yeh, but its loads more hilarious if its a mandatory party dress code! Can't hit up the free buffet if you don't done a cute sailor uniform first!

And of course they are! Though I guess Snapdragons kinda have a bit wonky of a flower stem for bouquets... did see some rather pretty Irises today... Iri?...

 

  Oh, and just got back from reading Nerzhei, @Blitz Boom. Thought occurred to me. You know who I bet would be pretty good at translating a Dragon & Horse ancient book? Perhaps a being that is both dragon & of the species, Equis.    ...and some other random ten or so varied parts. With as many dimensions as Widdershins has gone through, he should have at least some grasp on nearly every language.

    ...and I'm not just saying that because I have a deep-seated, knee-jerk need to become involved in anything dragon related.

[Midnight_Aurora 571]

@Blitz Boom,

I had said in a previous post here, he did take some scrolls. At least one would have been something of value. This scroll belongs to the cult. The others he had gained for training purposes. What is within the scroll however, is up to you.

[Blitz Boom 4,651]

Alright, lets get cracking. Starting with @dosey doe

Looks good to me. No issues I can see, and an interesting, somewhat crazy character with some gokd thought put into her. Welcome to the flock.

I'd like to ask, did you do the models, or is this one from the show that's usually in the background? Because these are some really good visuals.

Beyond that, do you have any preferences to the RP, about how you'd like to start? We can start you off on the side or you can join one of the several crazy things going on in Ponyville right now.

Be aware though, barribg a few from Seamore and myself, all others are currently RP'ing at roughly 21:30 in the evening. If you wish for a day setting, we need to have you start on the side whilst time moves along for the rest of us.

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

 

@Dji @Widdershins

Tulips it is then, and I'll look into the snapping turtles or whatever it was.

Something quickly to go over with you both though: No skimpy outfits please. This isn't an anime highscool. Plus you know, I wanna try to keep it family friendly here, and skimpy clothing isn't really something that evokes family friendly pictures.

I have no issues with weird, torn, silly, cute, etc. clothes, but please refrain from directly calling some clothing skimpy by word. There's plenty ways you can still have pieces of a wardrobe without calling it that though, long as you explain it in the post rather than going something akin to *Dawn wandered into town, wearing a skimpy outfit that drew the eye* or something like that.

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

 

@Widdershins @~Phoenix~

I would be on board with the body swap thing if it were. Sitcom hijinks ensured. :3

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

 

@Widdershins

To cover the book and Nerzhei first, you could offer to translate it, but she wouldn't let you within forty miles of the tome.

It's the pinnacle of her research subjects, and draconequui are too unpredictable to not randomly eat it or something similar, which she can't risk.

Plus, it's intertwined ancient equine and draconic. Not as easy to translate, plus she want this to be her own work. I figured that even if she were smarter and more open than most of her kin, she were still a dragon, which means prideful. No wanna share the research credit with a translator shen she is able to do so herself. :3

And she took it up with Ancalagon as he were old enough to tell her of the place was real. That was all she needed to know, as she had a nagging suspiscion the book could be an old hoax she stumbled upon.

As for Null and Void's pictures, it was what I had access too. I use pony creators after all, so I can't control it all. They're supposed to be all black colores in their coats. Like dark holes. :3 Kinda the vibe I tried for. And the manes and tails were meant as silver, but again, I can only work with the tools I have, and colors are hard.

Going on to the Equeatrian thing, I go with what makes sense for mg chara. The ones from outside the norm like Last, who grew up isolated from the from, the sisters who came from another country and only knows persecution, and generally those sho would think Draconequui are hard to accept. I can't see them being generally loved in Equeatria considering their story via Discord, even if some claims he is reformed.

Also, Wham rules.

21:30 of which timezone? I'm US mountain time. If it's anywhere near there, I'll be available at that time.

As for starting location, I can go either way. She lives in Ponyville, so I can come up with an appropriate activity for her regardless of time. There are basically three likely locations for her: her home, at the market, or in the park. If a group actually wants to include her right off, that's fine. Starting by herself is fine too.

The drawings are mine. And thanks! Also, I just added another one.

Speaking of "day setting" what is the current weather and time of day in Ponyville, and the time of year? Are there any holidays or events (such as the summer sun festival) coming up?

[Sekel 696]

@Widdershins, @Blitz Boom

Is this a thing that's happening in the RP? I thought this was just some crazy OOC thing. Widdershins said 'skimpy' first, so blame them!

Edited May 23, 2017 by Dji

[Blitz Boom 4,651]

@dosey doe

It's 21:30 in RP time, that's what I meant. And the setting is early autumn, no special events planned. Might be there can be held a big party when Ponyville is repaired though? Coukd be a thing.

As for starting places, we don't have anypony in the park right now, but I can set one in the market that can work and direct you towards the others. Which one you'll stumble into there can be a mystery then. :3

This is the one I had in mind. His name is Clayton Quartz, and he owns a rather large construction firm in Canterlot. He's in Ponyville to help with getting materials there. He's a good chap, you'd like him.

Also, you really made those models yourself? You're freaking amazing then. O.o It looks exactly like one from the show.

[dosey doe 72]

@Blitz Boom

Wow, you really want to run another guy? You look like you've got enough going on already. Also, she's pretty much the exact opposite of a night owl, sooooo I'm pretty sure she'd be asleep at the moment. Well, I'll figure something out.

(thanks again!)

[Dark Horse 12,962]

@Blitz Boom

Hey Blitz! So I know it's been a while since I was last here, but I may be interested in coming back in just for some casual practice if you're looking for additional toons to be in places. I'm not really looking for any particular scenario, just interested in running something a bit less structured for Saffron in the background.

   Awww! But I make an excellent Tentacle Beast! Besides, I call 'em that, because whatever else do you call those darling little sailor uniforms that clearly have never been intended for anybeing over the age of eight! You know, those starched-stiff blue & white numbers? Like the ones Mike used to wear in pretty much every acting job he ever took for some reason; the ones he showed the bots back in that one episode?

  Besides. Horses don't wear clothes, so where ya gettin' modesty from here, buddy? Considering how ponies seem to be made of marshmellows & bubblegum, can't think if they even have anything to begin with to show!  So! Yes! This IS just some crazy Oocing thing!

   As for what'll happen with the body kerjiggery with @~Phoenix~, well, she'll just have to bring that up with me once we get over all the recovering, forced healing.... me technically not existing.... well, later on down the road I daresay!

I'm just shooting ideas out here, I don't mean to sound too over-ambitious or pushy. Can't really say that I have much in the way of RPing experience yet myself.

 

[~Phoenix~ 196]

@Widdershins

i'm actually gonna put that idea on hold. i'd much rather do something a bit more normal for the story (as normal as you can possibly be with widdershins) and maybe reserve that for a more down the road sorta thing. 

 

[Blitz Boom 4,651]

Sorry for delays here, but long day, and things have weighed on my mind. Got the post made, but OOC posts won't be until tommorow. Sorry.

[Will Guide 21,362]

@Blitz Boom

Sorry, I didn't realized it was in-story the middle of the night when I wrote that last post. I thought it was morning!
