Have to cover a shift at work, for a sick colleague, so I sadly won't be able to write today. Looking forward to Thursday when I can though.

It's okay to help your friend. You have to do what you have to do.

[Widdershins 9,959]

So, um, I need help?

 Like, I need advice on roleplaying, I think. @Blitz Boom? I don't know how to respond much at all to @Catpone Cerberus's last post, but I do want him to get to a point so I can let him kinda solve the problem of how to get across. Is it okay to just start saying "Okay, I can see now up ahead, that this is the place of which we said we was going to get to!" and maybe, I dunno, just describe more flower-y the setting for the puzzle? Because there's only so much Travelling Conversation I can do.

And which reminds me, BB... if you could remind me what the goals and what's going on with my other points?

 Like... um, Correct me if i'm wrong here!

 Slimpsy is sherparding along two fillies... into the side of a house. But that's on hold until we hear from Pastel again.

Monolith has left the cafe during a town-attack, with Alonsy talking to him, and Flit following after with Hat Horse and both intend on heading back to the police station?

Blither, SS, and Sunny are at said station, heading outside to see what the matter is with what's going on outside with Scarcity & her sister and Sekel's character is talking with Sunny?

 

 ..I'm getting lost.

@Widdershins

I need to know where you're at with Catpone first. Been several pages back, and I can't find the last time you two wrote. You're doing a dual Draconequus adventure, yes? I figure throwing him at the, or into the, puzzle, seems about on point for ther kind. Log as you leave him a chance to respond in kind, like say "Threw him towards the puzzle, aiming to have him melt into a piece" rather than "Threw him into the puzzle, and he immediately became a piece". Just give some wriggle room, and you can surely push it along a bit. Though maybe, you should ask @Catpone Cerberus, rather than me?  Considering this is a one on one between your chars.

I am not entirely sure that Pastel returns. For the time being, consider her to be an NPC, and then @Pastel Heart will catch up later if it is.  Might be the player is busy as all heck elsewhere, or something. And yes, the synopsis is correct.

Close. Monolith is being talked to by Alonsus, while Straw Hat is asking Flit to come along. More or less, they're trying to group up, and get on the way. Monolith is potentially also having his wounds from where the frog monster bit, licked by the unnamed shark pony, depending on if it is blood. If it is goo, she will move along quickly, and if the wound closes on its own, she'd just wandering off, to hunt more frogs. This were after going to town on the frog that were trying to eat Monolith's leg.

Sekel's char have been encouraged to talk to Sunny, which Dazzle (I hope i remembered that right, @Sekel) is now attempting. Scarcity is still mostly occupied with Blither, whilst Stare is looking on, to see how it goes with Sunny and Dazzle. Chop last interacted with the frog, like the one that Shortstack caught, by smashing the second one, that Blither had in his possession. He is standing ready to interfere, if Shortstack tries to get too overprotective of Sunny.

[Pastel Heart 6,466]

@Blitz Boom @Widdershins I'm partly busy elsewhere, partly exhausted from everything thats happened to me. I simply can't keep up. Sorry.

If you want all the details of whats going on with me, see this status update from awhile back. Be warned that it's heavy, though.

Otherwise, I think I gotta quietly resign from this RP. I can't handle juggling two RPs, plus the stress and circumstances of my life right now. Very sorry. I really did have fun. Maybe I can return another time.

[Blitz Boom 4,629]

@Pastel Heart

That's alright. You go take care of things, as best you can, and I'll just have Pastel written out as having to get home to her grandpa to hide from the monsters. If ever you feel like things are going well again, just take it up from there, and we'll be happy to have you back. Take care, and stay safe.

You're free to do what you seem fit @Widdershins, I'm still equally out of ideas, that's partly why I keep bringing up seemingly random things in the dialogue, trying to see if a conversation can be started.

 

@Blitz Boom sorry about not replying, the week has been quite awful and now I got interrupted before I could reply, so I'll try to post tomorrow but I will post Sunday at the latest.

[Blitz Boom 4,629]

@Widdershins @Catpone Cerberus

Remember: If there's an issue, fix it the draconequus way. Make an even bigger problem, and let it deal with the first one. Someone else will likely take care of the new one eventually.

And no worries Catpone. had a long day yesterday too, so I didn't complain about having an easier load for a bit there.  I'll see you around when the time's right, and I hope your weekend at least, is gonna look up after the week you've had.

...  Yeah, but... I hate feeling............. "Uncreative." I feel I owe you more than "oh HaY! Now We got to Teh Next Part of Teh Story!"

I wan' play wit' you, Kitty!

 

That being said... @Blitz Boom?

 As much as I like my hydra, priority it may be, would it be alright if we just dropped all of that for now?

 Like, until ...uhm.... Certain Unstable RealWorld Events clear up? I kinda started all that ambition back before, um, the rest of life got complicated. Maybe pare it down to Cerb and Sekel? More one-to-one roleplays? I realize this would leave Razzle Dazzle (I'm aware that might not be her name, but it's too cute and now that's what her name is!) hanging, but we can work on a restart to there too, if possible.

Like, sure maybe I can manage my one character with two others working off of instead of....  Me being three seperate entities in a room with another guy being three and a third guy being one or two in a list of....

Uh, have headache now, lol!

 

And if you wanted to keep up on me on a more one-to-one, we could go back to Ambie. And I HAVE been working on a new "pony"sona.

[Blitz Boom 4,629]

@Widdershins 

That is not solely up for me to decide. It also depends on @Sekel, due to Dazzle. I can have that derailed, and put your chars somewhere on a backburner, but since this also impacts Dazzle, Sekel needs to have a say in this too.

Unnamed shark pony will clear the town, and have that sorted in the background, so that is handled with that. Sekel's opinion then comes in, but for all intents and purposes, the lot of them will be in stasis for a time. I guess it could be written as... I dunno, they get derailed to somewhere else, while the Mayor figure out what to do, or something like that. And the one of them runs around somewhere else. Flit I suppose. Or Monolith, honestly. Due to his leg wound, a hospital stay could put him separate for a time.

[Widdershins 9,959]

@Blitz Boom

 Was going to play into that Mono isn't hurt, but clearly showing that he should be. On account of not really being a pony and all.

I'm kinda fine with just dropping things and picking them back up a year later or so. Like, continuing Continuity, sort of a side Timeline of events that can be then later tailored to fit whatever else is going on when its reintroduced.

Like, say, I believe Ambie just went to bed and left Happy Hour with a vauge promise of his parents coming to town. That Happy would wish to visit them, that is.

[Blitz Boom 4,629]

@Widdershins

The thing with Ambie is so long ago, that I have no idea what went on there, or even really who Ambie is anymore. :/

As for the town... I can't really put this whole thing in stasis. The town will be resolved, that cannot wait a year, or I can't use Ponyville as a proper setting anymore. If Monolith and the rest aren't resolved now, they have to be sequestered in some way, or potentially sent away, until the time comes, when they return. And as for how to do so... Well... There Is an *In case of emergency, break glass* option here, where they could in theory, be ^phased out*, until the time were right to put them back in, if that is what you mention. Though I need to be sure how to proceed here, with them, before I try and push anything through.

[Sekel 694]

@Blitz Boom & @Widdershins

Yes, Dazzle Gleam is the character in this section. If you are having a hard time with this multi-part character you've created Widders, it's fine if you want to shelve them for a while Dazzle, Long Stare. and possibly Scarcity can continue on just fine. Dazzle was simply trying to get Sunny's attention to talk with your characters more, Widders.

[Catpone Cerberus 23,601]

@Blitz Boom
Just letting you know bit of my plans/few new details regarding Charir and Ruby.
I have created more characters, and because of that Ruby and rest of her family line has changed a bit, it won't change anything that is established already, but Charir may end up being bit more magical than his older sister. Basically what has changed is that Ruby isn't as pure-blood as she thinks she is (and was before this), I haven't yet decided where exactly in the bloodline the change(s) are, but there is one or more of the more magical variants of dragons in their blood.

[Blitz Boom 4,629]

@Sekel

Oh phooey. Completely forgot about Dazzle Gleam. O.o Sorry mate. I'll get something done for the next time we're interacting. What sort of thing should we go for there? A simple *A few hours later, once things had toned down* kind of thing, and then just see where it takes us?

[Catpone Cerberus 23,601]

@Widdershins
I hope my response was somewhat aright, I stared at the text for like half an hour before I came up with something so....not your post's fault necessarily, i'm just not at my best state at the moment when it comes to RP.

@Blitz Boom
same to you, though with these most of my time went with writing rather than coming up with what to write, since unlike with Cerberus the catpone, i have though about how they would react to different things many times in advance though I do tend to have bit trouble with Nada's part,  

 

it took like 2 hours for me to write them all 

Edited October 19, 2020 by Catpone Cerberus

[Blitz Boom 4,629]

@Catpone Cerberus

I'll try working on getting you some responses, before night's end.  And don't worry about things mate. Sometimes, the words just don't wanna come out.

As for the part with Nada, just keep in mind that she's dealing with an innocent, yet efficient killing machine, thrown out of her usual element, and made into something new. She's like a curious child looking for answers, and what Nada teaches her via her actions and words, will end up molding her.

Or I suppose, she's Nada's hunting dog. Make sure to teach the pupper what to fetch.  Hehe.

[Blitz Boom 4,629]

I won't be able to post Friday, since I have some friends to visit during the weekend, so that's sadly not possible. have to bake them cakes, I've been told, and that makes writing difficult.

As such, I will get some posts out tomorrow instead, to try and keep you satisfied until the weekend is over. Should be able to get things back in line after that.

[Sekel 694]

@Blitz Boom & @Widdershins

Finally got around to replying! I'm in the last stretch of online schooling so I'm sorry I haven't had a chance to reply before now. I've been mostly focusing on that.

[Widdershins 9,959]

Oh, and in the fair interest of open communication of future rp plans... y'know, actually conveying intent and plans is probably a good idea. It's just not something i'm good at, bein' a draconequus. I can't just keep hiding things under the banner of keeping it a surprise.

So! @Catpone Cerberus!

 Firstly, I had kind of guessed you'd use the bomb to launch you across. Make use of that macguffin I made you get to get the macguffin.

 But it occurs to me that maybe not everybeing wants to explode themselves at every oppourtunity. A shame, lol!

 

 Secondly, perhaps more importantly.... that Golden Muffin? It's going to peel your flesh off. Probably should mention that. Y'know, as a warning.

 See, it's a golem maker with the drawback that it makes said golems almost continuously out of whatever's nearby. Cus I kinda got this mental image once about Derpy playin' Indiana Jones to get this Golden Muffin idol and it summoning rock golems that she'd have to fight off for the glory of muffin. And of course, I play this in to Widdershins's pancake/syrup golems he makes by thinking that he's the accidental original creator of the idol.

So, basically. What i'm trying to say... is that once you pick it up, it should start tugging at the flesh on your hoof in an attempt to use your own flesh to create a flesh golem. This might sound powerful, but i'm headcannoning that its actually dampened as its original form is a crystal sliver that Derpy somehow managed to bake into a muffin, thus turning it gold in the process.

 Because the only way to dampen uncontrolled draconequus magic is by having someone fully, genuinely, purely just as oblivious screw with it. Sos I figure almost all Draconequus Magic Idols should look like bad modern art sculpture.

 

 So that's why I had you in mind for this. Have you come across something for the lark of it and figure out that it isn't safe to just have it unnattended and leave it in the care of some organization that can either Secure, Contain or Protect it.

 

 /shrug, I dunno, maybe BonBon's secret agency. Look, i just make the world-ending disasters, I don't understand them! 

[Windy Breeze 15,190]

@Blitz Boom I'm going to the province to attend my grandfather's funeral, i won't be able to reply anytime soon.

[Blitz Boom 4,629]

@Windy Breeze

My deepest condolences.  Take all the time you need, we'll pick up when you're feeling you're ready for it again. Please take care.

[Blitz Boom 4,629]

Gonna have to respond to things tomorrow. Things got kinda crazy today, so I ran out of time, sadly. My apologies for that.  

[Blitz Boom 4,629]

Been asked to see if there were someone who'd be interested in a side RP, with a pretty good RP'er I've been working with, called @Illiad Easle. The setting he proposed were fairly interesting, and since he heard there is a lot of talented folks here, I promised I'd pop it in here, for him to get some eyes on.  Can never hurt to see if there's someone who'd like the setting.

Gonna quote here what he says, then you can see what you think of it. Waiting for him to pop in an OOC I can link to if it is, where things can be discussed more about that, than this, but he wanted to know if there were some degree of interest first. He's a good one to push a narrative, so that's not something anyone would have to worry about. It'd be less *goofing around* than what I usually do.

___________________________________________________________

 

Life had been perfect, picturesque, Princess Sparkle had been recently coronated and a number of nations had united in a new era of peace. Even nations that had long stood as rivals to Equestria were embracing diplomacy. Everyone was happy,

Except one.

Discord secretly bound Hercules and Cerberus, the two guards of Tartarus, and opened the gates, allowing the spawn of Tartarus, ponies and others who had been tormented to the point of being husks of their former selves, to spill forth on the world. He further recruited leaders from among the worst in society to lead his armies, promising they would rule over what remained when anarchy was restored.

At first Equestria fought back the spawn well, then Discord openly betrayed Celestia, casting her paralyzed body into a river of lava. That very day the Elements of Harmony went missing, and Canterlot fell.

Five years later, you and a few others have survived the Spawn, evaded their notice as well as the notice of those loyal to Discord. Your group has been successful thus far, but not this time. While crossing an open plain your group was spotted by a herd of Spawn.

That leads into the prompt I gave you, where you're running and get the escape chance offered by the surprise helicopter. No one in Equestria knows that the missing ponies were sent to earth, and they don't know at the outset that there is multiverse hopping.

______________________________________________________________________

 

Part of that at the bottoms were a response to a question I had about it, but essentially, it is an AU, build on the concept of *Discord's done a real, REAL big naughty, and now the world is really messed up*.

If you got questions on the technology, remember this is an AU=Alternate Universe. There's a bit of freedom in that, as there is in the way one depicts Discord, despite him being a good guy in the real setting.

Anyway, promised him I'd throw this out here, so... Yeah, there you go. Word kept.

Oh right, requirement I know off: Special or self made races allowed, long as it's not too crazy, and no draconequui. Thinking they don't want the helicopter turned into a giant pancake, @Widdershins.
