Juat wanted to make sure that you knew I did not forget you. Just giving Dragon until Tuesday, as mentioned.

The rest was just lucky I was bored on the bus.

Alrighty then

[Amanita 6,826]

@Dji

aye, we hope you recover swiftly! We are all rooting for you to get better!(not in the way for them to hurry your recovery at all)

[Widdershins 9,959]

Oh hey, @MiragetheChangeling? I ought say that you needn't have to end your sentences all the time with Asterisks to show what your characters are doing/thinking. Sure, that does make sense in short postings like in status updates, but think of it here like telling a story. Third-person or what have you. A good rule of thumb, I'd say is to use as much words as possible. Don't be afraid to go into detail about how your character is responding, their intonation and even what side of the pony they're talking to they're on or how their body language might be. Find as many synonyms of saying "They Said" as possible!

 

   Oh and, I would say its up to @Foxy Socks and Briar to reinvite RD and Rarity to the conversation their having. By rights, I figure Rarity can't finish Foxy's project right now with the condition her workroom is in, and Dash just popped in to see what's up so Foxpone and Bushhorse would be on their way back to the campsite now and perhaps I'll have Rarity send the finished project back to her by courier once I do some research into how best to describe a bejeweled, fox-like, fox-snuggy costume!

  Basically, balls in your court now, F.S & B.B!

@Widdershins Well I thought they were going by to leave soon

[Amanita 6,826]

@Widdershins yeah, but mostly that is how I write that. I think it’s because I’m used to non-descriptive roleplays

[BloodDrops 762]

@Blitz Boom

Got food poisoning so my posts gonna be small

[Blitz Boom 4,627]

@BloodDrops

Moving away from the irony in so, I am so sorry to hear that mate. I hope you will get well soon.

Helps if you stop eating other ponies and/or rotten meat

[Amanita 6,826]

@Blitz Boom

I hope my replies are getting longer and better for everypony.... if not I can always try to write it longer, I’m just not very good at describing things in real life...

[Widdershins 9,959]

Sorry I've not been around everybody. Stuff going on in my life. Like hunting down a job, keeping food in the house, making stuff for stuff, preparing for the holidays... making sure I have a future... just, you know. Stress. Begrudge me spending my days instead on the video games. I'll try not to though, get on this tomorrow morn, eh what?

   That, and the power has been off for part of today.

Gosh, have no idea what that's for, @Dji but that looks like a right bother to put up with! Though I think pictures of your inner ear might work better as your Status Updates! You know how to work things other then these two threads, right? 

@Widdershins

I do, I just don’t participate in any other threads. Besides, I thought you had a job. What happened to that one?

[Widdershins 9,959]

@Dji

   I...uh, huh... Life Happened?

I'm to wild n' crazy a guy to be held down for long? A-heh?~

[Blitz Boom 4,627]

@Widdershins

We're hoping that things will soon look up for you Widders. And no worries, we know real life issues comes first. Gotta make sure you can eat and keep a roof over your head after all.

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

 

@Dji

Hey there Dji. ^^ How's the aftermath of the operation going? Improving I hope.

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

 

@MiragetheChangeling

It's getting better mate, worry not.

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

 

@woodchunks66

Reminds me actually, could you be a dear and try to put a bit more into the posts as time goes on mate? It helps to give me things to respond with. ^^

As a tip, I find inner dialogue fills out the posts nicely. Reactions too.

Oh, and as I suggested Mirage some time ago, I think you might do well in sectioning things a little, or at least make the parts where Applejack speaks in color? It's a little hard right now to see what's talking and what might be thoughts.

To quote what Lloyd have written, as a good example of a middle ground:

"Well it was a dragon, named Zhu." He said, stating the name to see if these guards knew the dragon, although his look did give away the reason he said the name. "And since I took them in, they won't be a problem for now."

The color helps differentiating things. ^^

[Amanita 6,826]

@Blitz Boom

Thank you!

[Sekel 693]

@Blitz Boom

I'm doing a lot better. I'm just waiting to see what the doctor before I come back.

[Brobot 1,436]

@Blitz Boom 

Sorry

[Seamore Sandwich 471]

@Blitz Boom

@Dji

@Moonlit

I’m going to be honest, that might be my last post until after the holidays.  For now, Charlie will be unresponsive, so you can have your characters try to talk to them, but Charlie will basically just be like a magic stick in the mud, no response to the world around them.

 

I know, I’m so exhausted from holiday retail work that even my jokes are suffering, but if anyone tries to tell me to stop, I’ll tell them their BARKing up the wrong TREE.  

That last one was worse, I think...

@Seamore Sandwich @Blitz Boom @Dji Noted, have a Happy Hearth's Warming(or whatever holidays you celebrate). 

Also, Dji-hope everything is healthy with you, get well soon or else I may have to sic a certain Pretty Pink Party Pony on ye. 

Blitz - I am considering having Serenade just decide that Ziggy needs help now, and just rapidly take off flying through Ponyville, and Luna damn the consequences. 

[Blitz Boom 4,627]

@Seamore Sandwich

No worries mate. You go and enjoy your holidays. ^^ Come back with fresh energy and good food in your tummy.

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

 

@woodchunks66

Getting better mate. Always a joy to see somepony improve.

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

 

@Moonlit

I figured that you'd want your secret intact. Why do you think I have Cherish follow them unseen, after she put a piece o f the castle in one of Ziggy's pockets? I figured the situation might arise.

Of course, if you want to fly, you can still do that, and we can try and deal with the aftermath, but if you wish to keep the secret, there have been several hints that the ghost is there. Including her trying to mess with last's sword, and in one of the last posts, speak out without thinking.

Of course, Seamore also gave us an out with his last post, so really: Wanna play Hide-the-Siren?

[Moonlit 593]

@Blitz Boom Normally yes, however look at it from Serenade's POV. Ziggy is hurt, so what is more important...her friend or her secret. Hide-a-Siren, better then Whack-a-Siren

Only thing i could think of was this from the Simpsons.

 

[Moonlit 593]

@Dji YAY! I can just imagine Ponies in Ponyville singing that, while chasing Serenade with Pitchforks and Torches. 

[Widdershins 9,959]

@Dji  

     Eep! Don't listen to it, @Foxy Socks ! They said... Snapes! Yes! There's an infestation of Harry Potter teachers around Springfield!

 

 @Blitz Boom

  Just a point I wanted to bring up, if you caught what I was going for, B.B. I've basically given unto Smokey an earlier version of Widdershins from earlier on in his travels. A bit more civil, measured and apologetic or at least my attempting to wrangle him that way anyway. This is him roughly a thousand or two years younger; a point I hope to make more blatant once he can fully assemble.  But hey, after all, you can kind of expect a bit of mental degradation after being recently wanted for blowing apart the planet of Draenor!

Quote

 Honestly, had his parents spend any degree of time to raise him 

  Haaah, yah got it!

   When we do get around to his parents, I hope to get the point across that he's inherited alot of this from his father. Only by the intense efforts of his mother has the shmuckery been diminished!

 

   Was pondering about just tossing out an unrelated scene set for Dice, but... I gotta get myself on a schedule.
