@Widdershins

Are ya holding back on the other sides of the siblings for the time being, until the forest dwellers catch up? Just wanna make sure.

[Widdershins 9,959]

@Windy Breeze

 A member of the Wonderbolts? Lands in middle of town? Immediately attracts ein attention? Signs zhe automagraphz?!

... *Shoves @Blitz Boom out of the way, begins a horrible Russian accent*

Gif them to me. I must break dem.

 ...I mean play. Play WIF them, yais.     ...I smell a humbling is needed, yais.

Okay, so that's more like Internet Lolcat, but still. Tryin' ta be intimidatin' here!

Oh, and yes, I intend to come back to it as I have been busy lately and stressed. But you can go ahead and respond to it y'all, iffen ya feel like it. 

...

 Yes! I am offering to bat around the newbie like a large irreverent kitty while i'm not only in eight different places simultaneously in the roleplay, overworked, stressed from these here sick days AND FAIRLY BATTY, but I don't see aaaany wrong with that! ... plus, got like, two days off now, so I need something to do! If I ignore my stress, its sure to go away! THAT'S A SANE CONCLUSION!~

*Cough*

And no, I'm not telling what of my mutant characters I'll inflict on Windy! Itsa surprise!

  ... don' make me BeeBee. I'll totes bean  you with a pancake!

 

...yes, I know one can't "bean" with a pancake, but if you put the beans IN the pancake, then surely it'll make bean noises!

@Windy Breeze @Widdershins

Well, soon as you're more caught up with things Widders, you can join in here, and I can always just wander off, or tag along, depending on what goes on.  Though of course, completely up to Windy.

And don't worry Windy, we're like... 60% sure that Widders doesn't bite. You're probably safe.

[Windy Breeze 15,190]

@Blitz Boom @Widdershins

Um, okay. But why does he sound like he wanted to rip me?

Oh, yeah, and also thanks for choosing Sorrow, Blitz. I was changing my mind every hour.

 I may not be subtle, but I am a steadfast pacifist.

Here i am. 

But how can you swallow me whole? 

[Blitz Boom 4,628]

@Widdershins @Windy Breeze

Widdershins plays a variety of characters. Among them a draconequus, and he embodies the sort of spirit that those sorts require, rather well. Which yes, could well mean that he'd have you be swallowed, and then likely spat out, having grown three extra wings or something. It's better to just roll with it than question it at some point.

And for the record, we have three draconequui in the RP. Widdershins is one, Catpone have another (pretty sure it's a draconequus anyway. Sorta lost track) and then I have the third, called Anomaly. None of them are attempting to take over town or anything of the sort, so it's somewhat low brow when they're involved in things. Figured I might as well get that out of the way since we're talking draconequui, and I know that some at times worry that they take over every aspect of the RP.

[Widdershins 9,959]

@Windy Breeze:

*~Magic!~*

It's like Math or Science! Except I get all dazzily with it so you don't question it! I said don't question it!

 *Tips straw hat and soft-shoe shuffles off stage*

 

 Oh, but don't worry. Just because I am one,d oesn't mean you'll be getting a Draconequus! I think you could play well with someone a fair bit more... Suggestible.

I know I haven’t posted for a bit, but with everything going on I’ve been exhausted trying to keep up with all the extra people rushing to the store in their stupidity.  I will be taking a couple weeks off starting Sunday, so I will likely be posting more during that time.  I’m taking the time off because my father is at risk if he gets the virus, and working with the public makes it very likely that I will bring it home.  The customers won’t stop going to the store to pick up ridiculous things, so I have to stop showing up to provide it for them.

[Widdershins 9,959]

So... heh... yeah, sorry @Windy Breeze. It ain't gonna happen.

 I've been super stressed lately for reasons I'm sure we all know. I'm having trouble keeping energy up for work and things have been.... hectic what with this new plague and stuff.

 I've lost track of a lot of where I am and I'm on, like, the sixth straight day of work and finding time to write anything here is kinda few and far between. Sorry I haven't been around lately.

Edit:

 Oh, uhm, @Catpone Cerberus? Been meaning to ask.

 So I'm trying to goad you into having our own little adventure to seek out something to hunt down and find! ...but, ah, there's only so many times I can go "Are we there yet?" without going off on tangents to supply conversation as we travel.

 I'm... heh,  not very good at providing structure, lol! 

 I'm not too terribly sure what to do now, between us and I've kinda locked up there, creatively.

Well, I'm not any better at carrying a story, and like I have stated before, i'm very reactive player, and can't really come up with anything that would break loops until it's a story that I have planned from the start like the 1x1 rps I have created. And if I'm being fully honest, our rp has been the least creatively satisfying from all the RPs I'm part of, as in, while others have times when I'm facing a big writers block, this seems to have quite lot of it 

[Blitz Boom 4,628]

@Catpone Cerberus @Widdershins

Sounds like you could use a hand. Might I offer you a villain in these trying times?

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

 

@Pastel Heart

Thinking that whilst we wait for Widders, we can still have a back and forth talk at the scene until he responds, and I can see if I can't think of some distractions to keep us entertained between posts.  No reason you shouldn't have something to do as well.

[Pastel Heart 6,466]

@Blitz Boom

I'm okay with waiting too but sure!

[Widdershins 9,959]

It’ll be tomorrow. Got two days off now! Worked the last six days so I now should have time to myself so don’t worry @Blitz Boom!

What’s a fair bother though is that I would have thought “hunt down some parasprites then talk you into eating one alive” would serve enough as a story, @Catpone Cerberus!  I kinda figured you wouldn’t want me to straight up explode on  you. I work better on a more “Random Encounter” sort of thing. Flashy entrences.

Well, that works as a story, but when the story has a "go from point A to B" there needs to be something during the travel too until it's straight up skipped.

[Blitz Boom 4,628]

Fair warning to you all: Gonna have to check up on some family for a few days more than likely, so I am not entirely sure if I have the time for replies tomorrow. If I do, they will likely be small ones. Just letting you know.

[FanOfManyShows 396]

@Blitz Boom
Guess I really am making a comeback here. 
Hope I remember all the character colors/text stylings I chose.

[Blitz Boom 4,628]

@Catpone Cerberus

You make Nada go outside, I make an NPC appear. Let's see how she reacts to a beginner stage of interaction from a pony suddenly realizing she's in the area, but without any idea what she even is.  

[Widdershins 9,959]

I dunno, @Catpone Cerberus. If you wanted to just post about a "and then they arrived at where they were heading and found the Parasprites." then maybe I could do something. But as I said, I'm stuck now as what to do with you. It kinda seems like we're stuck in a rut of "No, after you!" kind of deal. 

Unless you wanted to restart fully, that is. I give you another character to interact with. Like, you just walking through town and you turn a corner and there I am with a new character and we go from there.

 We could take @Blitz Boom's idea too. Though I have no idea how one could antagonize a fully goaless entity like Widdershins.

 What you got planned, Cerb?

 

 Oh, and B.B? 

 I am kind of playing off the Cephalli family (...have I had any of them mention their "last name?") as initially villainous, but really just stuck heavily in their own thinking. Like, Flit can be sympathetic, but dangerous as he's representative of the Id. A kind of live-in-the-moment kinda guy.

 And Monolith has no social skills. As he's very pragmatic and doesn't see things beyond a mathematical approach or considering such things as emotional. If anyone talked to him he wouldn't see the purpose in anypony asking him anything like what he wanted or "felt" like. So I want to get that across, that while he's imposing... he's basically a brick. He's not strong in spite of his stature, just durable to hits. He's slowest and arguably weakest only to Blither in the sense that he just doesn't see the point in reacting or moving to things. So I would like to try having him interact too!

… so maybe I'm testing you a little bit, hee. Giving you several ponies in one place to richochet off of!

...you mighta gone a bit fast there with the Timberwolf and lost me, heh. I kind of just assumed what we were doing in Slimpsy's area and hoped for the best!

 

 ...Oh, and Blithy Boog?

 In regards to canonicity to show of dragon capabilities...~

 Dragons are just fully immune to fire. Like, there's been several episodes where Spike bathes in Lava (Magma is the cooled volcano guts outside the fire areas?...) so even the hottest fire around is just like water to a dragon. They make cannonballs into it, spit it out in little streams like it wasn't nothing to even their insides. That's kinda been a running joke too. If even a city-dragon like Spike can take direct lava contact (which can melt flesh before you can even get within feet of it!) then you really can't understate how Fire-Resistent Benny is.

 Though how a high fire resistence correlates to cold-resistence tends to vary wildly from franchise to franchise.

…

 I do find your descriptions of dragons absolutely amazing! I blush at your depictions of dragon belly hugs!

 Hee hee, you like dragons too?! Sounds like MLP ain't the first time you've dealt with dragons!

I'm not really sure what to do either, I thought It would be good change of pace to have an RP where I can just be silly without a plan but it seems that I need some kind of story to follow. I'm really up to anything, but it probably would be better to do a restart or to include @Blitz Boom (or both.) 

[Catpone Cerberus 23,599]

@Blitz Boom

What would you want Ruby's part be in the battle that has started? Or in other words, how well she should do? I'm fine with everything from her proving how great she is to her getting injured, i just want to know if there's something certain you are seeking.

[Blitz Boom 4,628]

@Catpone Cerberus

My whole thought process were this:

"Hey, wouldn't it be fun to have Ruby fight something that looks like a mix of the worm from Tremors and the big maw thing from Star Wars? Just with eyes."

I have no plans with how this is going to go. I figure they team up, do their parts, and eventually kill it. It's have pretty obvious attack patterns you can use against it, and will need to have the eyes open every time it raises up and cannot find them by vibrations or sound. Strike quick a fast, and you can go through those squishy parts for example. Basically, just try not to get eaten. You'll become a snack.

[Catpone Cerberus 23,599]

@Blitz Boom
So I got an idea regarding Ruby.
What if she got/will get injured bad enough that she have to stay in her real form for day or two? (just needs a bone to be broken badly enough that piece of any size has separated from it (or any other injure resulting something not attached to her being inside her)

This would give a chance for one on one between her and Leviathan (since Marley would need to head to Spicy eventually) and would make it so that Ruby could be taken care of by Leviathan a bit (regardless of how much Ruby wants it or not ) and Leviathan would have a chance to learn more about Ruby. 

[Blitz Boom 4,628]

@Catpone Cerberus

Sorry for the delayed response here. Been on my phone only for days now as I were visiting home, and halfway through the long post yesterday, it messed up, and I had to salvage things a bit wonkily. Let's cover this now then.

I like your idea. Should probably be a bone that she can't just ignore, nor be too vital like a rib, so... I'd suggest cracking her femur. She wouldn't be able to ignore that, even by flying, and with all the muscle, the bone shard shouldn't be able to travel too far if she'd not doing something dumb. Though it would likely cause a lot of pain wriggling around in there if she tried walking too much.

[Widdershins 9,959]

So I’ll get on to replies, I swear, but first...

 .....

 @Catpone Cerberus?

 Permission to go Wild?

 I’ve been holding back on you. And that ain’t fair.
