@Sir Hugsalot @Stone Cold Steve Jobs

Gust turned his head toward Vibrant as the stallion approached. "That's right, I'm Thunder Gust. Pleasure to meet you, Vibrant," he said. "If I might ask, what's that you're holding? It's gotten quite bright." He couldn't help but glance curiously at the stone for a moment before his attention turned to the sky blue mare heading their way with a basket of flowers.

"Ah, there you are, Anya. How have you been?" Gust said, picking up one of his plates of food and offering it her. "I got us some dinner before the festivities begin. By the sounds of it, there's a mythical forest to explore and probably a concert? I think the forest sounds a tad more interesting, what do you think?"

"Pleasure to meet You, Thunder Gust!" Vibrant responded and then glanced at the lantern he was holding. "This shiny thing? Honestly, I am not entirely sure. All I know is that while I've seen many glowing stones in my life, this is the first time, their glow shows any kind of symbol, look!" He presents the lantern to Thunder Gust. At first it looked like a typical lantern, emitting light, but then he saw that the light actually came from a crystal... and the crystal had a shape of some flower." @Princess Silky Star Silk gave it to me, so she may know more. What's curious is that the glow became brighter as I approached You"

"Heh, I'm sure we'll be fine." RC winks playfully.

"The exact same thing said my last friend I went inside a maze with" she fires back with a smirk.

Thunder Gust got an incredible stone

@Tao "Apparently, we can do both activities. It might be fun to try the music one after the maze." Raven shrugs. "I can secure a spot over there too, if you want." She looks around. "Oh, yeah, and I want those waffles."

"Just Gust is fine, I know Thunder Gust can be a mouthful," Gust offered, before taking a closer look at the lantern. "It has a symbol in it? May I see it?" He turned the lantern until he could make out the symbol inside and let out a small gasp. He looked at it for another minute and returned it to Vibrant. "I don't know what it's supposed to mean, but I know why it led you to me and Ana. I know that flower well, or that daffodil to be more specific." He pointed to the cutie mark on his flank. His cutie mark was a single blue daffodil and a lightning bolt crossed overtop a shield.

[Ana Flare]

@Totally Lyra @Sir Hugsalot

Ana finishes her meal with a satisfied hum before walking over to meet Gust. She gives a half nod to Vibrant Grove.

”What’s going on? I’m Ana. What have you got there, Gust?”

Smiling, he looked around at all the guests and the faces that started becoming familiar to him. Continuing to look around, his eyes stopped as he thought someone had been looking at him. Turning to the pony, he was met by a chocolate mare with blonde, brown and gray mane and tail. Her attire consisted of a black parka, purple socks, black rimmed glasses and three piercings in her ear. To say that she was cute was a complete understatement. To Dynamo, she stood out from everyone as he was simply starstruck. A slight blush slowly dusted his cheeks as there was this sort of aura around her that wanted him to approach. Feeling nervous, he looked towards the friends he was talking to. "Uh...h-hey guys? I hope you can excuse me. There's someone I want to try and meet." He'd say, before making his way over towards the chocolate mare.

As she sipped on her drink, and nervouslly looked around the event, she would soon notice @Dynamo Pad approaching her. She would nervously do her best to smile and to keep her disguise, as he would contineu to get closer and closer. As he did, she could notice that he was actually just as nervous and shy as she was feeling, which helped her relax a little more, and she'd smile sheepishly at him, "H-hi, you're Dynamo right? Silky told me about you, I-I'm Caramel Ripple"

Most ponies call me "Windy", I heard one of the Elements of Harmony has a mother named "Windy Whistles".

@Totally Lyra owes me twenty bits but he keeps changing his name which, makes him difficult to catch. 

I met @The Wife of Law  a short time after I moved to Ponyville from Cloudsdale...Too high up, very scary. 

@Patty Thundersnow and I like to go to Equestrian Wrestling Federation shows whenever they visit Ponyville, do you like wrestling, Roswell?

I know @Patty Thundersnow, she's a lovely pony but I haven't seen her in years though.

I have heard of @Totally Lyra and @The Wife of Law but I've not met them yet, they sound like awesome ponies.

 

Yes, I like it.

Not been a fan for a long time though.

 

You have a favourite wrestler?

I was driving around rocks and couldn't find other ponies

@AuroraGlimmer

As he made his way over towards the bespectacled mare, he thought he had seen a blush upon her cheeks. Was it due to him being nervous, or was she as nervous as he was. He was thankful that he wasn't the only one as it seemed like others were feeling as nervous, as well. Hearing his name, he blinked suddenly, before giving her a nod. "H-Hey. That's my name, b-but how do you know who I am?" He asked with curiosity in both his voice and expression. Upon hearing her name, he gasped as he levitated the invitation for them both to see. "Wait a minute. You said Silky? From the invitation? You're Caramel Ripple?" A small smile began to form upon his lips as her sheepish smile felt infectious. "It's so nice to finally meet you! I remember hearing about you from, Silky, as well. Although, she never told me of your name. She said that she found the perfect match for me." He wasn't sure if he should hug the mare, or if that would be considered too formal. However, he was still feeling so nervous, yet ecstatic.

**Announcement** 

Hey there, lovelies! Remember this is an RP event, so while it's fun to banter OOC be sure to keep it in character. You can use the references IC as well.

I know it may seem confusing but this year we shall be having a lot of events! So the The Maze of Friendship link that derives away from this thread shall be a scavenger hunt for those who want to team up with their friend to do it! The original event with the hearts and hooves badge exchange shall carry on here. We're just buying some time so that the other shier ponies meet their match (and some people are on vacation or tending to real life stuff) but once things are settled, the event shall carry on and something will happen! So stay tuned. 

I'm looking forward to getting to know your OC more and the dynamics with their new friend/pairing.

Caramel smiles a little, she saw a blush across his muzzle as he approached her, which to her meant he was just as nervous as she was. Upon hearing him speak, she'd smile and nod "Yes, Silky told me about you, said something about you liking me for who I am" she'd say, smiling a bit more "and yes, I'm Caramel Ripple, but most call me Caramel" she would then gently hug him "it's nice to finally meet you too" she replies before hearing the announcement "oh, seems the events are happening soon, I've always wanted to do a scavenger hunt, how about you?"

@AuroraGlimmer

As he listened to her speak, what she said sparked a memory he had with Silky. "Oh, yeah. I remember Silky asking me who I was into and I remember saying that. About how I'd like someone for who they are. I didn't understand at first, but seeing how this is a couples get together, I'm starting to understand what she had meant before." He'd say, blinking in surprise at the gentle hug, before returning the gentle embrace. "Just like what you said, my name is Dynamo Pad, but friends call me Dynamo." He would say, turning to see that events were taking place. "Oh, that's right. I haven't done a scavenger hunt in a while, but I'm definitely up to doing that if you are. Maybe we can get to know each other along the way. What do you think?" He asks, holding out his fore hoof for her to take with a smile upon his face.

On 2023-02-16 at 12:02 AM, Skylight Scintillate said:

"Oh we still see each other daily. It's a shame that I couldn't do the same with you, but things have just been so busy for both of us recently, though I'm still grateful that you're my friend. I haven't heard of Caramel Ripple before I don't think. And I have no idea who I'm meeting tonight," Skylight admitted. She leaned in to whisper the next part. "Do you think you could help me break the ice with Nebel when he arrives? I'm afraid I won't know what to say."

Skylight stared at the ground nervously, not quite sure how to react to the conversation dying out either. However, he noticed that @Dynamo Pad was still with them, and he hoped that maybe Nebel and Dynamo know each other and that Dynamo would be able to help the pair break the ice. 

@AuroraGlimmer

As Dynamo and Caramel made their way over towards the Maze of Friendship, he noticed that Skylight was standing next to a few of their friends. Taking notice of his friend staring down at the ground, he frowned as he was worried about the light blue unicorn. "Hey, @Skylight Scintillate!" He called out to the light blue unicorn to gain her attention. "I'm really sorry about walking away like that. I hope I wasn't gone for too long." He would say upon arrival, while having an apologetic expression upon his face. "I'm glad you, Twinkle and Sealight still keep in touch. Since it was busy for us both, I made sure to write a letter every chance I got. I hope they're doing well. I know it would be cool to meet up again with them sometime. It's been way too long and I miss my old school friends." He says, nodding at the mention of helping to break the ice. "I'll admit that I'm in the same boat as you are, Sky. I always had trouble figuring out what to do or what to say, but I promise to do my best. We always worked well like a team together even back in school. Remember?" He smiled, giving a reassuring pat to her shoulder.

@GeneralDirection

"Speaking of which." He started, gesturing his hoof towards his match. "This is Caramel Ripple. Caramel? This is Skylight Scintillate. I met her when I attended Princess Celestia's School for Gifted Unicorns.." He would say, before looking towards Skylight and Nebel. Upon seeing the unicorn, Dynamo had to admit that he never seen or met Nebel before. "Hey, Skylight? I'm really sorry, but I don't think I've ever met Nebel before. However, it's the same for me as I never met Caramel before and this is my first time meeting her." He whispered to Skylight, before thinking of how he could help break he ice. As he was thinking, he recalled the Scavenger Hunt that he and Caramel were taking part in. "Hey, Sky? Caramel and I were going towards the Maze of Friendship for one of the events. Did you and Nebel want to team up? Always good to work as a team. Plus, it'll help to get to know each other more." He says, before looking back towards his date. "If that's okay with you, of course, Caramel."

Shocked by her sudden outburst, RC processed what @Sophie H. said. Although he previously mentioned he gets a headache from loud noise, he decided he might as well bare with it for now. "Uh not so much sing... I like listening to music and I've played one or two instruments before, but I never really sing, let along thought about it. ^^;"

[Thunder Gust]

@Stone Cold Steve Jobs @Sir Hugsalot

Gust moved aside so Ana could see Vibrant's lantern. "Take a look at this, Anya." He pointed to the shape shining within. "I have no idea what it means, but it has our flower in it. Do you know what this thing is?"

[Saffron Shadow]

@The Wife of Law

Saffron took the hoof of Wolf Track with a slight grin of amusement. Her peculiarities aside, he had a feeling of sincerity about her. Maybe it was just the comment of him being "harmless". He supposed that was as good a description as any, though it may yet have been better to suggest "mostly harmless".

"Well, I'm glad to make your acquaintance, Wolfie." He said to her warmly. "I'm Saffron. Saffron Shadow. I guess you could call me a bit of a wanderer. Traveling around investigating places of historical and archological interest at my leisure. Equestria is certainly full of fascinating wonders. I've been on a little break from my journeys for a while now, though. I suppose that's why I even got the invitation. Someone must've known I'd get hold of it."

He paused for a moment, as though sizing Wolf Track up, then added: "Forgive me asking, but you don't seem like a pony from any particular parts I've been. Are you living far out? You seem a bit, ahh... wary of the crowds."

[Ana Flare]

@Totally Lyra @Sir Hugsalot
Ana tilted her head slightly while examining the lantern. “Huh.” She glanced at her cutie mark.

”I’m not entirely sure. Maybe it’s related to the forest in some way. Maybe it’s got something to do with the plants we may find? What do you think?”
