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

[Blitz Boom 4,640]

I will be visiting family this weekend, so my next replies will be Monday: Hope everyone have a lovely weekend.

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

 

@Catpone Cerberus

Personally I just force my way through replies, no matter how bad a day it have been, but one way I get through it is to do it in stages. Make a little, then when your brain is shutting down or your focus is elsewhere, do something fun for a bit, then come back and eventually, you'll have a sparkling new post, which might also help on your mood.  Have on mine on a few occasions.

Managed to get a post out today to you all, so yey. ^^ Hope you'll enjoy it, and that everyone had a good weekend. Now let's get on to business.

@Widdershins

And of course you liked the *Aliens* meme of Spike. So far I gathered that you like weird things. It's fun.

My schedule for today had to change because someone in my department called out.  Unfortunately, I had to do the late shift, so I don’t have the time or energy to type up a good post for today.  My normal Monday schedule will have me out early regularly, so I’ll probably be doing most of my posts on Mondays, but if I’m less tired after work tomorrow than today (which is likely, since I don’t have to do a split shift with an early morning and a late night) I’ll try to type at least one post then.

[Blitz Boom 4,640]

@Seamore Sandwich

I understand mate. Just pop in when you have the time and energy, and keep on trekking.

[Seamore Sandwich 471]

@Blitz Boom

 

I’ll be catching up more next week (had another late shift, but at least this time it was short).  I at least got a post in for Marcus.

While I am usually not able to post often, this time I just wanted to let you know I will be gone for three days so I won't be able to reply immediately, but again, I know I don't do that anyway 

[Blitz Boom 4,640]

Everyone.

Minor thing here, as I want to inform you that I won't make responses before tomorrow. At a festival with a friend today, and it seems like I won't be home until late tonight, and it's honestly quite draining already, so I won't have the energy until then.

Please enjoy your day, and I will see you all tomorrow for a reply to many great posts.

[Blitz Boom 4,640]

Accidentally pressed Post before time, which is why a chunk of you will have no responses to see. I'm editing in the rest, but it'd gonna take some hours, so... Just ignore it for now, and sorry for that. Bad mouse press on my part when I tried to highlight something.

@Catpone Cerberus

Also weren't done with the second half of yours, so y'know, just to warn ya.  

[Sekel 694]

@Blitz Boom

How do you even keep up with all the characters you have and the make posts as detailed as you do? It's a nightmare for me just to keep up with my own characters.

[Blitz Boom 4,640]

@Dji

Eh, I write with them so much that I can usually find what I need within a few posts if I need to reference something, and the more I write with them, the more settled their character becomes. You should see how much Last Stand changed from start to now. Beyond that, it's mainly just... Well, let's be honest here, winging it. You'd be amazed how little I plan out in advance.

[Lucid_Nightlight 923]

@Blitz Boom

Just letting you know that there is a mention for ours, but no reply.

Edited June 1, 2019 by Lucid_Nightlight

[Blitz Boom 4,640]

@Lucid_Nightlight

I know. As I wrote earlier, I accidentally posted it too early, before I had all the replies in, so I've been working on getting it fixed and edit in all the replies since. I just finished it, including the one for you.

[Seamore Sandwich 471]

@Blitz Boom 

 

My post is fairly short because I spent a lot of my time tracking the story back all the way to page 189 where Penny and Scarcity met because I thought the lemon chocolate was for focus, but I wanted to be sure.  I’m glad I checked because I was wrong.  I also noticed that early on I said her chocolates would have an effect that lasts all day, but I would like to downgrade that a little as this would be too powerful.  Instead, while some may have more subtle effects that last all day, others may last hours, and some less than an hour.  Of course, she would have said it was so early on in the story.

[Matrix Twang 338]

Am I still able to join? (if Yes I'll edit this w/ character bio)

Edited June 4, 2019 by Storm Button

[Blitz Boom 4,640]

@Storm Button

Of course. We're always open for new folks to join in.

Please add in the character bio, and we can take things from there to get you sorted and placed into the RP.

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

 

@Seamore Sandwich

Makes sense to me. The stronger they are, the less they last. Only so much magic you can put into a single piece of chocolate after all.

[Matrix Twang 338]

@Blitz Boom

please tell me if i need to dial her down or change characters. Also, do i need to read everything 2 participate?

[Blitz Boom 4,640]

@Storm Button

You are not required to read every page, no. Usually I start a new member off a little to the side, then over time introduce them to the company of others, and things gets explained along the way. Sometimes it changes, but it depends on the character. However, I do require you to never write 2 instead of a word in the RP, unless you are talking of numbers specifically. L33t speak are frustrating in an RP setting.

Going through the character, I can give some pointers and my opinion on a few things that stands out to me, as there are certain strange things there, and then at the end I will give my evaluation on everything.

1. The character not having a name before she got her cutie mark is a little... Flawed. Everyone have their name from the beginning, and then mostly it somehow ties into what they can do. May I perhaps suggest writing that she changed it after she got her cutie mark, and others just got used to it, to the point where most beyond close family remembers her real name?

2. I like the weather being affected by her mood. It haves a very Men In Black 2 vibe going for it, and it can certainly be fascinating. I can imagine that pegasi in the weather business absolutely hates her.

3. The powers related to certain moods are interesting, though there are more that can be expanded upon there. Say for example that infatuation causes a gentle spring breeze, confusion would be fog, and disgust hail. I'm sure you have plenty of ideas on how to expand this already, but I thought it interesting to add a few suggestions, and you can do with that as you please.

That's about it. I will say that I see no issues with the character. The powers are well defined, and not overpowered. To an extend, I can see how it would even backfire on her, which is certainly interesting and something I haven't seen here before.

Far as I can tell, I see no issues giving you an APPROVED stamp.

Now, I can suggest some characters to interact with her, if I may? If none are fine enough, I can try and make something new up. Winging it have gotten me this far,

 

 

Nerzhei, a dragon scholar who recently moved into a cave near Ponyville, in the Everfree Forest, and have only entered town a few times so far as she is unsure how the reception will be, considering the history between ponies and dragons. She tries her best to avoid her more primal want to flex her muscles, and focuses on using her brain. Generally speaking deals with others well, but she responds to bad interactions towards her in kind.

As she have recently come to Ponyville, and are still hurt after an experience from the day before (Short story, a sphinx got into the forest, and now a part of said forest is a desert area after a rather huge sand storm. Nerzhei got hurt trying to get someone out from there) she is seeking a more calm start tot he day, and could well arrive at the door to the bakery and order some things. She's human sized, so not easy for her to get inside most buildings in town, as they are build for smaller beings.

 

Personally who I'd suggest. He works at a coffee shop in Ponyville called Sloppy Joe's as a bit of a handy pony. The bakery gets their coffee grounds from them, and they trade over with baked goods for their own place, so there is a good chance that Storm may well have met him. He's a bit overblown and full of himself, but he does wish the best for others, and isn't boastful for the sake of feeling superior. He just have a bit of an ego problem.

I could easily have him be the one to greet her as she got over to deliver some of the baked goods for the day from the bakery, after they got their coffee grounds the night before, and then take the talk from there. If you prefer, it could also be said that they had never met before since she'd usually be dealing with one of the baristas, and this would be the first interaction between the two.

Things of note in town just quickly: There were a large sandstorm the day before, which might interest her to find. I could have a char jump in and lead her along the path if it were. Also, about three days ago, a large tornado engulfed a good deal of Ponyville in a dome (it were magically made) whilst a monster attacked. The dome went away and the monster got defeated without any deaths, but the rebuilding is still going on, with a few finishing touches going on around town. They'll be inspected soon enough.

Perhaps ideally, you could have Storm being out of town for a few days whilst this went on, so her powers didn't affect anything in the hours when everything went down?

Anyway, anything of note you want to push in? Perhaps a want for other chars, or settings? Lemme know?

Oh, whilst I remember it, someone lives in the desert right now, but there are interactions going on there for the time being, hence why I'm trying to ease things in if you wished to go that route.

Alonsus seems the best fit,I agree. I'll have her being outside of town during that..

I might take a while to post. I'm nervous as all Tartarus, my first public RP. Is there a specific mininum of lines for this RP?

[Blitz Boom 4,640]

@Storm Button

Not really a minimum, as I never figured out how to edit that, but I would appreciate more than a couple of lines. It's tough to respond to things if I have nothing to work with.

[Lucid_Nightlight 923]

@Blitz Boom

Going to be gone until June 11th, so seven days. Got some stuff on my mind that I need to figure out, so don't panic if I don't reply to your post for about seven days. I'm just taking some time to chill out.

[Blitz Boom 4,640]

@Lucid_Nightlight

We'll see you around when things have settled then mate. Take care.
