I know I didn't give Starlight a lot to react to last post. I can post again to give you more to work with if you want.

That’s ok, you don’t have to do that

[Loud Opinion 602]

@Califorum

Sorry for the delay. I wanted to respond to ExposionMare at the same time, but that's a little silly seance Magnolia isn't even at the temple yet. No real need to slow down Magnolia's pace right now.

[Loud Opinion 602]

@ExplosionMare

Just wanted to get Magnolia to the temple before the hosts show up. I'll respond to your post just as soon as Magnolia makes her entrance.

[Loud Opinion 602]

Finally finished this monster of a post. Thus concludes the prologue. Your journey has officially begun.

Except for @ReverieRiver but I swear she'll be back in next post.

[Loud Opinion 602]

Please, I need to catch up.

[Loud Opinion 602]

Okay, one more post, but I need to reply soon or nothing will happen. People will just suggest to each other what might happen forever.

Alright @ReverieRiver, this next post will put you back into the game. Are you ready?

[Loud Opinion 602]

I was hopping to get confirmation from @ReverieRiver. I'm not putting her character back in until that happens so I'm leaving the revival out of my post.

The rest of you have been knocking it out of the park, so I won't delay any longer.

[ReverieRiver 526]

@Loud Opinion

Oh! Yes! I'm more than ready to hop back in. I meant to respond earlier, but then the site went down for maintenance and I was just sitting here.... then I forgot again by the time it came back. Silly me

[Loud Opinion 602]

@ReverieRiver

Lust edited my last post. You're good to go.

@Califorum

You might what to adjust your post accordingly. I only edited the last part

[Loud Opinion 602]

Alright @ReverieRiver. What's really going on here? You drop off the map, not responding to DM's, I try to get you back in and you don't jump at it. The last one was completely understandable, but when you combine it with you saying you're ready and then nothing? I can't keep giving you chances. I could be progressing the story instead of waiting for something I have no idea will happen.

Last chance. Post in 12 hours or I'm dropping your character.

@Loud Opinion

I am so sorry. I really do keep meaning to reply, but I've been very distracted and spacey lately... I'm going to reply today, promise. That being said-

@Califorum

Would you mind holding off on posting until I get a reply in? It's getting a bit overwhelming trying to keep up while trying to think of a reply...

[Loud Opinion 602]

@Califorum

I get worried the story will get away from me, but so long as it's just conversing, then I see no harm in it. I do feel a little lazy, but I haven't missed an opportunity yet, and the interactions are enjoyable to read, so I can't complain.

@ReverieRiver

I can summaries by saying those two are just bickering. I'm sure Silver would be too far away to even hear them.

[Loud Opinion 602]

@Califorum

I will say it gets a little repetitive seance I know it's too early in the story for your two character to come to a proper compromise.

[Loud Opinion 602]

@Califorum

Well I know that it takes some adversity to bring people together (in stories). It would be pretty unsatisfying if you two settled all your differences in one big conversation. When I see another post in this same conversation thread, I don't wonder what it's about because I know it is just more back and forth. That's all it can be at this point without ruining the story the two of you are developing there.

[Loud Opinion 602]

@Califorum

That's exactly what I'm getting at.

Well, again, they're still enjoyable reads.

[Loud Opinion 602]

Wow! My biggest wall of text yet. Hopefully its written well enough for that to be a good thing.

[Loud Opinion 602]

@ReverieRiver

I've been there: him-hou-ing about weather to post now or later and finding excuses to do it later. Maybe a summary of my post will help?

The horn mare's name is Limbo. She gave a speech about how anyone can be an alicorn and if you doubt that you should rest a hoof on her horns.

[Loud Opinion 602]

@ReverieRiver

Well. Gotta slap you with a deadline at this point. I was sick for a while so waiting was convenient, but If I don't see a post soon I'll have to move on.

[ExplosionMare 18,064]

@Loud Opinion

Who was Limbo talking to in the beginning? (The character she didn’t know the name of)

[Loud Opinion 602]

Magnolia. The two of you are in The wood together.

[Loud Opinion 602]

I have been contemplating Magnolia's aspect for some time. She carries herself like Winter, but her philosophy is entirely Edge. However, due to the hint's @Califorum has dropped about her backstory, I believe Forge is most appropriate. In this case, Magnolia has always been Forge, but that might not always be true. Aspects are not set in stone from birth. For example, the way Starlight currently is makes her open to the Heart aspect, but she has more talent with Winter. Talent means nothing if a character is not open to an aspect, but it is an area where a character has more potential.

So it's fair, I'll say Magnolia is Forge, but has talent in Lantern.

[Loud Opinion 602]

@Califorum

I don't blame you for losing patience. I've been dilly-dallying for longer than I should have. The next post should already be up. You might notice a few hints of the aspects.
