>.< I'm gonna start murdering people. Though the thought process is a good thing, and I encourage it, let's discuss it while we're underway with our RP. I'll give us each two more posts to decide what's going on with the travel arrangements before the Captain just starts without you with his thousand strong. 

Luster has already decided her stance. 250 as a recon/expedition force, w/ another 250 as reinforcement/extraction, all being air lifted.

Gotcha! Remind me the ratio... 150 heavy, 75 flight, 25 magic per detachment, correct? @Denim&Venom

AJ is asleep ....she already gave her order to Candor

I mean first of all we're not building like crazy, just enough to sustain the growth in population and as necessary for the military, so whatever has become desolate due to resource plundering already has become that way. It's not going to be causing a profound effect, but certainly there is an effect. It is just not going to be planet destroying type, you know?

I know

[GoldieS 679]

Roger that! At least it's mostly settled now. Feel free to debate all that other stuff to your hearts content! Just wanted a general consensus on this one since, well, it pertains heavily to the RP. 

[Brobot 1,436]

Waittttt. so about the airships

 

are we going by foot or airship?

Airship! But don't worry, I'll deal with that since all my troops are already formed up and ready to march out... gotta let them down softly... they were ready for that march! After @Lektra Bolt or @Denim&Venom 's posts.

HaHa gotcha....i got something funny in mind (spoiler AJ docent know where flying(P.P.s AJ hates flying)

Airships. 1 per group of 250. Our players are going to be on ship 1 with reinforcements on ship 2.

Lektra will jet off to the events of the changelings visiting in my next post, unless she's needed still? 

so all of the important people are flying in one or should we spread out?

@Lektra Bolt @woodchunks66Works for me! As long as Lektra concludes things appropriately with Luster and Twilight.

Speaking of which @Denim&Venomwhat's the story we're going with for Lektra and Twilight?

You kinda glossed over the travel portion and Lektra's thoughts at the office. What's Twi think of the loving way Lektra took her hoof and stared into her eyes back there while having an inner monologue?

Did she jump out of being jetted over there and flew to the troops on her own?

What's their relationship like? Is there one to speak of really? They designed a child together, that's gotta count for something

didn't notice they were traveling together. 

From what you've written, Leks love for Twi is an unrequited one. Though I think that's more Twi being aloof and oblivious more than anything. She never struck me as the type to pursue romance. Heck, it took a considerable effort for her to make even a small group of friends. I think she's just asocial in nature and would've been indifferent to being on her own. And with all that's happened, romance is the last thing on Twi's mind. she'd see Leks as sh see's anypony else in her life. Just a good friend. 

In Lektra's eyes she and Twi designed a child together. In Twi's eyes, they built a functioning AI. A successful science project. Nothing more. Luster is pretty much what Spike was to Twi in S1. An assistant and a student to be mentored. 

And that moment in her office may have been tender to Lektra, but Twi didn't notice. She's too wrapped up in finding her family and piecing her shattered world back together. Twi is a damaged pony. 100 years after the collapse and she still hasn't recovered. Still tormented by the loss of so many ponies, including her parents. still trying to fill the hole inside left by the loss of the friendship and harmony that made Equestria.

We'll just chalk that up to her jumping out of being carried.

I had written it as unrequited cause we never talked about it until now. If you'd like to pursue something, sure, but I feel like if she hasn't become open to a same sex relationship in ~300 years (yea we decided in the main thread it was that much for the city Techno built to make sense) she probably never will and and it's better off as you say. Just good friends like with the other Mane characters.

Gee what are we doing with Starlight? Lived a full life, or around also but we're not using her?

I want to say Lektra had professed her love to Twilight at some point in the 300 something years, but she probably hoof waved it away in being oblivious?

we could pursue something, but would it be appropriate given the setting and all that they've been through? 

Starlight? Probably dead. Another victim of the plague. there's a bit of a theory going around that the races don't age at the same rates. Earth ponies only live to their 60s. Pegasai live to 120. Unicorns live for centuries (we've only seen one old unicorn in the show.) So Starlight was taken before her time, and that haunts Twi. 

You forget a lot of things over the course of 300 years and a world shattering calamity.

Will Luster be coming along? 

She will be. Somepony has to be the objective voice of reason on this trip. 

[Denim&Venöm 19,036]

@GoldieS @Lektra Bolt @woodchunks66

are we still doing this RP?

[GoldieS 679]

As long as you guys keep posting, I'll keep posting

[Denim&Venöm 19,036]

@GoldieS @woodchunks66 @Lektra Bolt 

Guys, it's been 3 weeks since the last post.

I'm so sorry, if you look at my feed I haven't been able to RP anything. It's not just this. I'll get on it within a few.

Though I will say that she has nothing to add to the discussion other than confirm she has no questions, which wouldn't add much
