Hmm... Well, a few have come to town, but for instance, I don't think that @Catpone Cerberus's dragons would like Light, nor Shark all that much. We do have @AuroraGlimmer and @flutterJackdash's group, that are getting into town though. Might be some overlap there, if Shark and Light, goes to the next day.

It should be also noted that I post about once a week, sometimes less, so if @Kujamih is any more active than that, it wouldn't work just based on that alone. 

[Evil Pink One 13,506]

I post when @Blitz Boom post... 

[Blitz Boom 4,620]

Pushed a button accidentally. Editing the full post in now. Sorry.

I drew Ginger's mom. She has some scars and injuries that haven't fully healed. Her horn has become extra twisted and split from it being broken and healing multiple times. Her name is Queen Siren.

She looks so worned down...

@AuroraGlimmer @flutterJackdash

You two alright? Not seen you around for a while now. Did a notification not go off? It happens sometimes.

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

 

@GingerLightning

Awh, the poor thing. She definitely needs a hive to cover in, that'd sooner give her hugs, than stabbings. And if that's how she looks. Cheshire is definitely gonna hug her. Poor thing looks like she needs it, and three solid weeks of sleep.

[Sphinx-Ara 3,569]

@Blitz Boom I've just been waiting on @flutterJackdash. I prefer to wait until everyone i rp with in a scenario to respond, so no one feels left out

[Blitz Boom 4,620]

@AuroraGlimmer @flutterJackdash

Aight, if Flutter haven't answered in two days, we move on without him, and imagine his character needed to be stuck in the hospital for a bit, for a checkup, or something. Tried sending a PM too, and still no response, so gonna have to assume that we'll be needing to find our own path forward.

Sure thing

@AuroraGlimmer

Flutter answered me in a PM. They're still around, so things will proceed inevitably.

@Blitz Boom
Since it is now relevant in the RP, I'll explain shortly how I look at Ruby's kind's language. 

Firstly, I'm no language expert, I speak two languages myself but don't actually remember how the learning process went, so if things are realistic I have no idea.

Basically, for what comes to the fictional language, there isn't any direct real life version, I use a webpage to come up with individual words or short sentences when needed to, but that doesn't mean that is 100% the language, when used in longer conversations (where characters that are not mine understand it too) I just use different marking while writing in normal English "Normal dialogue" "*Draconic Dialogue*".

For the alphabet that i pretty much made up as I wrote about it, i imagine it to be similar to how Chinese, Korean and Japanese writing is to us westerners, and for grammar I kinda imagine it to be a kind of simplified English, where it's almost like caveman speak but not quite . I used to have it so that certain words were missing from the language since there isn't use for them in their culture (especially the current one) but it got tedious to deal with so I gave that up. 

a point being, we probably shouldn't focus too much in the small details of the language since there is no planning for that, and rather speak in more general way when talking about the progress of learning. 

 

[Widdershins 9,959]

Heh. S-sorry~... I have a hard time garnishing the energy to check back up on the social medias. I don't got alot of energy to feel confident to posting anything when i'm trying to be good for a job and all. I'm sorry I haven't been around...

 Maybe if I posted more often, I'd be better at keeping track of things in an RP.

 I entirely forgot there was a farmer horse we was asking directions from, @Blitz Boom. Hope its okay to kind of co-op the narrative on this temp character to kind of have him act as a calmer reaction in the momment.

 I've kind of lost what we're doing around in the setup with @Sekel. I assume it's just the... six characters going back inside the candy shop for now?

 

[Blitz Boom 4,620]

@AuroraGlimmer @flutterJackdash

Letting you answer before I post my response, Aurora, just to not mess with the flow.

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

 

@Catpone Cerberus

I didn't expect a full rundown of things, don't worry. ^^ I assume you point out what some things means, if they are needed to be understood.  Thank you for the explanation regardless though.

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

 

@Widdershins @Sekel

Had to redirect how things reacted, in regards to the farm pony, but he'd get to the jovial side at the end. Just seemed the sort a farmer wouldn't laugh at right away. What if lightning had hit the crops after all? Bad times.

As for the candy shop, yes, they're going in there now. Been trying to gather them up for ages. xD Just to get the talk through with the halfling, and then moving on to the next thing, before you ruin the store.

Thanks, I would have answered yesterday but I wasn't feeling very good. I will respond today

[Blitz Boom 4,620]

Busy for a few days, so my replies will be delayed until Thursday. Sorry for the inconvenience.  Christmas things, y'know?

[Sekel 692]

@Blitz Boom @Props ValRoa @Widdershins

To be honest, I've completely forgotten what's happening with the stories. I've probably spread myself too thin so maybe just keep going with Dazzle, Dawn, Karmic/Atzy, and Twilight will be better? But Dawn is seldom used because Widdershins is barely on like I am so I'm not sure what to do.

[Blitz Boom 4,620]

@Sekel

I think the one with Widdershins I can split up, fairly easily for now, so you can have some degree of self-mobility there, without relying on him. As for the others, they're not far along, but I can beef them up., The one with the sisters and Enzo for instance, are right now just them, visiting Deltrot. Did not have many other ideas than have them explore, but maybe I can have things gather up a bit, to reduce the cluttering... Or just lead towards something. Dunno for sure.

And the one with Magnolia and such, are one I'd like to see go on. We set up something that could potentially be grand, so like Props said, it'd be nice to keep that going. Rest too. It's infrequent, but great story. I can try and summarize things a bit better tomorrow, but right now, busy with the actual posts. Will return tomorrow. ^^

[Catpone Cerberus 23,588]

@Blitz Boom
If you have an idea for the situation with the Kobolds where my character(s) gets hurt, don't be afraid to just tell me here, I'm perfectly fine injuring my characters, even quite badly, I just need a heads up so that we can plan a bit on what direction and how to do it  

[Blitz Boom 4,620]

@Catpone Cerberus

I don't think they do for now, but it will depend how things are going. I'm racking up the assassin plot a bit, and make things around town line up with it. Hence why your thread now @Kujamih also touches on it. You can take part in the hunt if you'd like to try.  But if not, then at least I am getting things in the proper timeline now. ^^

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

 

@Sekel

I am so sorry Sekel. I completely forgot about your post.  Things have been a little... That's no excuse though. Let's cover things.

(Twilight and company)

Currently in the death-focused town of Sanctuary, where they are going to 1. Try and find a way to have Twilight and Cherish untangled from one another, on a spiritual level, and 2. Find her supposed sister. The latter they have done now, and they are about to go to an ancestor of theirs, who are stuck in town, as a spirit. Twilight still seems uncertain of how she thinks of this, and Magnolia (the sister) is trying her best to explain things.

At the same time, an oddity they saw in the forest, while looking for the tower, have attacked Drone. That were Last's mother, twisted by the forest, but given her senses back, via the help from those in Sanctuary. She did so by instinct, but nothing much came of it. She ran off when seeing Last, and in her stead, Magnolia's friend - a unicorn with slight stripes colored into her fur - have gone to try and talk to her. They are now walking towards the main tower in town, to speak with their ancestor.

(The one with Widdershins, at the candy store)

This one have gone out of sync, since Widdershins have become somewhat unstable - real life happens, not blaming you there @Widdershins- so for now, we can untangle those, until things might change later. I am thinking we will have both of your characters - the half dragon and the mare in the early stage of dating a dragon - off to meet with Scarcity, giving the others some time to bond, and use the excuse that either of your chars, are either impatient, or would want some air. I think it would ease things up, and streamline them a bit more.  Just gimme a mention of either wanting out, for one way ort another, and Long Stare will take over, in guiding them about, whilst Benny and Pop, will stay back and talk relationships with Kaltrops.

(The one with Onache, Happy, and Aurora. Plus Lulu and the diamond dog)

Gonna have the latter two wander off, to make it less cluttered, and save them for another time. This can't line up with the current story, due to Onache being in the hospital in there, so this happens the day before, just fyi. I figure now that they are talking queens and responsibilities, the right choice would be for them to go into the desert, and she can have a look at the hive portion she have prepared for now, and be told in longer terms, what it means to be a queen. Then I will have them interrupted, by someone linking them with the last thread soon enough after.

(Atzy, Karmic, Enzo, and the Boom family)

They've just met, and Enzo are still a bit shaken by the dragon before. I figure they can chat a bit more, and they might learn about some technology from him. he have just introduced his larger guard spiderbot, so that is a thing to go on. Then I will have one from the crystal hive seek them out, and take things from there. I believe we can get that along, and make a plot of out that, as well as Atzy's discoveries of what it is to be a changeling, and her future responsibilities.

Does that cover things proper mate? Again, sorry I were late.

[Evil Pink One 13,506]

@Blitz Boom

Light is a cautious one... He would rather protect Shark or protect the kitsunes since his first thought would be the kitsune is the assassin's prime target or someone important in the school. So it's up to you on how light is gonna react to the next event you give. 

I cant just randomly make Light curious to the assassin since he left that kind of life style and chose to be freed from it... Unless the kitsune or shark decided to do something about it.

Cant wait to eventually RP with @Catpone Cerberus  that is, if the script flows there.

[Sekel 692]

@Blitz Boom

I think I got everything set in my head now.  Thanks for the summaries. It covers things pretty good. I think for now it would be best for Long Stare to lead Dawn and Dazzle away to set that in motion. Everything else I think I can handle. Once I find the posts you and @Props ValRoa left me with.

@Catpone Cerberus @Kujamih

I linked things now. What comes from this, we'll see.

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

 

@Props ValRoa

Whatever fits your interest, I'm sure we can make fit in some way.  Just settle on something, and we'll work on an entry point to things.

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

 

(Everypony)

Just letting you know that this were my last response of the year too. Will be leaving for holiday things in a few days, and will be occupied until the start of January. Worry not though, I will be back, I assure you.  I can imagine many others also have holiday plans in mind as is, anyway. ^^

Since this is now a thing, Figured i'd state some things that I think are important to mention, mainly things about Sheska that @Kujamih's  character(s?) would be able to tell/would know or not by just looking at her.

First things not related to her, As mentioned before, i post about once a week, there is exceptions to both directions, but that's generally it, and while I don't want to hold anyone back, I'd appreciate that if there is more posts than one from each during that week, they would only involve stuff where my character wouldn't most likely react anyway (like for example, a private conversation between your characters, or something happening outside my character's vision/hearing), mainly because having to read bunch of happenings where my character would have done something but can't because the story has gone too much forward, that's just not fun.

 

Now, for Sheska
Firstly, here's a picture of her so that you don't need to go looking for it in the threat or my profile 

Spoiler

(those lighter lines are scars, not scratches, just in case it wasn't obvious  )

Changes from the picture in the RP: she no longer has the chains and shackles, The tip of her tail that has the bone visible has a makeshift, temporary cast on in, I don't remember what exactly it looked like, but the nurse decorated it so it probably does stick out a bit .

She is a kobold, a relatively unknown species in Equestria, or anywhere really, as they mainly live underground (in the RPs world), they are often mistaken for small, wingless dragons. I mention this because, until your character has met a kobold at some point in their life, they probably don't know what they are.

For size, she's slightly taller than average mare is from head to front hoof's bottom, that taller part being pretty much her horns. 

That's all that comes to mind for now.

For my posting in the Christmas times, it remains pretty much unchanged, I'll post somewhere around Fri - Mon,

@Blitz Boom just waiting on @flutterJackdash, as I am not entirely sure where we are at

@Props ValRoa & @Blitz Boom

TWILIGHT SPARKLE

"To be honest, Miss Alluria, if you and Magnolia are truly family and, well, dead, then the post would have most likely marked those letters as a cruel trick to play on somepony who's living," Twilight said, choosing to sit down on her haunches with her tail curled around her forelegs. She wasn't quite sure how to feel about things just yet. Meeting with ancestors and dead sisters is a strange concept to her so her mind defaulted to trying to go about speaking analytically in an effort to cope. "I'm choosing to go with you two being dead, because it seems like everyone around here that is of this place is a spirit of some kind. Having said that, I'm not used to speaking with spirits on a general basis. I've only just started doing so with Cherish's help. I didn't even know they were around before I encountered her. But ... I'm here with my guards, Last Stand and Drone, to help separate me from Cherish so we can both be our own selves. Lady Macabre is meant to help with that but I get the feeling you and Magnolia might be of more help?"

@Blitz Boom

DAZZLE GLEAM & DAWN STREAK

"Who's Scarcity?" Dawn asked Long Stare in confusion, deciding to follow along now that she's had a chance to cool down.

"I hope Scarcity has good news about my parents," Dazzle sighed with a nod and followed Long Stare away from the shop.

@Blitz Boom

AURORA LIGHTS

Aurora nodded along with each word Onache spoke, taking it all in. "Find a hive somewhere ... probably base it near a griffin settlement ... griffins are more readily accepted so I at least have that form down pat," she mumbled, trying to keep note of it all in her mind before taking a couple of steps back at the rumbling. She could only stare at the gemling, all thoughts flying out of her head. "Um ... hi," Aurora replied in a stunned and nervous tone and only managed to bow back before the gemling could focus on Onache. "Queen Dia'Thiz? Wh-Who is she?"

@Blitz Boom

KARMIC FATE & ATZY

"Carmen's cute," Atzy commented, watching the little spider robot tap at her gems. She sat down and lifted a leg up for the robot to have a better inspection. "These are stuck inside me so there's no way you can take them out. As for Felicia, I kinda understand what it's like to be different from everyone else and be chased off ... I ended up as artificial changeling slud-" Atzy continued to prattle on until Karmic suddenly shot over and clamped her hoof over Atzy's mouth but the damage might have already been done.

"Heh, my sister has no idea when to keep her mouth shut around ... robots, apparently," Karmic chuckled nervously.
