@Loud Opinion Just a heads up, there is going to be a sort of..change with Jaded.. nothing bad..more like, she shows her true self..

@ExplosionMare

Just added a bit to my last two posts. The first edit was to start the interaction with Granite, and the second was to put in the @Scarlet Rose that I forgot.

Heyo, can I get a recap on what's been happening? I'm planning on helping to bring everybody together. At the moment two of my characters are free agents and can move into where everyone else is (once I get the recap I can find out where) and then I can help get Luna and Kapi in as well If Loud Opinion is down for that. 

[Loud Opinion 602]

Sounds good to me. Thus far, Thanos and Arete are in the party room, I think Sweet Comforts faded away from existence, Derpy is with Thanos, and Cadence is on her way to the party. I was planning on starting the party in my next post by bringing the Silver family in. Gold Dust and Jaded are on their way to the party with the Gold family behind them, and Limbo Dreams is in the castle gardens with Granite.

...

Also, Blue Thorn is off landscaping somewhere in Equestria trying his best to ignore the call to adventure BTW. If anyone wants to interact with him, they'll have to have to take the initiative (or ask nicely) because I haven't thought of a role for him for the midway part of the story.

Sorry if Luna's actions don't make that much sense, I didn't see the last post until after I posted.

Just to clear things up, was Limbo talking to herself when she saw Granite or was she talking to him?

[Janicethelight 108]

Hope you guys didn't mind the drama.  

[Loud Opinion 602]

@Janicethelight,

To be honest, I think the story needed a bit of tension. I like the call back to the episode were the dignitaries were waking up Twilight.

@ExplosionMare,

Limbo's not very used to interacting with others. Everything she said was out loud but she was mostly talking at Granite, not to him

[Janicethelight 108]

Thanks.  I'm glad it's going so well.  Randomly kak8ng dignitaries is fun too.

What do you mean by “at” him?

[Loud Opinion 602]

@ExplosionMare,

Talking 'at' someone is when the speaker is mostly concerned with saying what they are thinking and playing little to no attention to if the other person is listening or understands.

Oh, I get it now

[Loud Opinion 602]

I'm a little confused about what's going on in the celebration room. When I said that Luna wasn't making much sense in my last post was it completely ignored or was some of it canon?

I think you can chalk it up to how confused the whole celebration room is in general. It took me awhile to parse out enough information to even make my post. I have to say I'm really not a fan of some of the colors being used to signify certain ponies talking. Some of it is so hard to read I had to highlight the text just so I wouldn't get a headache looking at it.

@Janicethelight yours in particular are using some particularly hard to read colors on a white background. If you could use darker shades of those colors I would greatly appreciate it.

I know I was missing some context in my last post. I just want to know how much got registered.

@Buck Testa,

I think the big reasons the colors are hard to read is because the defaults that the site provides aren't very practical. It took me a little bit of fiddling to get Luna's color out of the more colors option and I have to copy paste from earlier posts to keep it consistent, but its worth it to me because it really breaks up the monotony of my very long posts.

I'm not really a fan of colored text in general. A novel doesn't need to make it's text into different colors to let you know when one character or another is speaking, I don't particularly see why you would need to have it be different in an rp. You could just as easily indicate who is talking by descriptive text. 

And yes the blaring white that is the sites default is certainly no friend to the eyes, though I'm not sure exactly how to change that. 

[Loud Opinion 602]

@Buck Testa, By sight default I meant the options the site gives you when you select the 'text color' option. I agree that one should never relly on formats like color, bold, underline, etc. to make your writing better, but I still think the effect is worth it even if it's entirely unnecessary. It's getting off topic though, so a response along this line will have to be through PMs.

[Loud Opinion 602]

I'm just going to assume Luna's last interaction wasn't cannon.

[Loud Opinion 602]

I'm working on my post now. It's a long one, but it'll be up soon.

[Buck Testa 5,505]

Lol Kapi is just being passed off to other alicorns like he's their kid. "Sweetie go ask your mother."

[Loud Opinion 602]

@Buck Testa,

We all have our social nitch XD.

I’m not sure. Is it my turn?

[Jedishy 3,548]

it looks like you can go as we all just went more recently then you 

[Loud Opinion 602]

I was waiting for @Buck Testa.

Unless people want to see "Luna walked up to Celestia" stretched over 800 characters. I can post if that's the case. (Took me a while to think of my next post for @Scarlet Rose, but it should be up soon).
