Hey there, something has recently come to my attention, would we be able to add @Props Valroato our RP? I understand that may completely change the direction of the RP, but if you’re cool with that, I would be down for rolling with the punches.

I saw you two wanting to RP together and I wanted to join in the fun if it is okay, as the three of us discussed something in Silky's server and I was excited to do something with the two of you. I have a character I plan on using, if it would be okay for me to join this. It would mean a lot to me to be able to join in an RP with two of my close friends on this forum and do something great together.

The character I have in mind is Magnolia, Twilight's long lost older sister. Bits of her personality would be a bit changed for this RP but you can read here.

https://mlpforums.com/character/20-magnolia/

I suppose it could work. What would Magnolia plan on doing by running into Twilight and Starlight? And would there be any information about Magnolia's relation to Twilight that could contradict my ideas about Twilight? So far, the notable things said in the RP are that Celestia's School for Gifted Unicorns is a university, and Twilight (who is still a unicorn currently) is meeting up with the rest of the Canterlot Six, who she considers her friends.

I assume that Twilight would have no idea who Starlight or Magnolia are. I also assume that she's close friends with her parents (Twilight Velvet and Night Light), Shining Armor, all the current princesses, the Canterlot Six, and the Six Elements, who all love her back. Finally, I assume that Canterlot is an extraordinarily extravagant city well-known for powerful unicorns that do research in magic. Oh, and I assume that Twilight Sparkle is extraordinarily powerful in terms of her magical abilities.

Let me know if any of the information I mentioned contradicts what either of you assume, and we can try to figure something out.

Ok then. I suppose the only question I have left is how would Magnolia join the RP. Would she also trip over the pile of ponies that is now in front of the Canterlot Library? Other than that, unless @CocoCody has some questions, comments, or remarks, then I suppose Magnolia could join the RP.

Maybe you could edit the title of the IC thread to have it show my name as well since I am now part of the RP? It’s not quite a 1x1 anymore so I might contact someone to move it to the Casual RP section if thats alright with you.

Yeah I can change that. Also, I assume Magnolia recognizes Twilight Sparkle after tripping over her?

Yup. Do you have my permission to ask someone to move the thread to the casual RP section? 

 

I assume since you’re part of forum staff you could?

[Skylight Scintillate 2,005]

@Props Valroa 

How do you want to RP the part of Magnolia meeting her parents? How do you think her parents should react?

I think her parents will be surprised more so than anything, but they won't recognize her at first - and yes, you can play them. 

Well would you be interested in RPing them? I'm not really sure what is the history of Magnolia and her parents. Unless you want to explain the history to me?

[Skylight Scintillate 2,005]

12 minutes ago, Props Valroa said:

I am not sure how I would RP them. The history is variable and depends on the RP, but largely the gist of it would be that they were unable / unwilling to care for a foal, for whatever reason. 

I see. Well if that is the case, then I suppose I would RP them. And I'll try to do so based on what you said.

Hey there @Skylight Scintillate, @Props Valroa Has mentioned to me that he is going to be taking a break from the forums, so I think that we should put the role play on hold until he comes back if that is okay with you. I have been really enjoying the storylines going on so far, It is interesting seeing the parallels between Starlight glimmer and Moon dancer, And then having that extend to moon dancers friends is a very fresh take on the original Story I feel. If you have any comments or things that you would like to see In the role play feel free to let me know.

Hmm, yeah, I saw the message as well. I guess I was kind of torn about whether it makes sense to do the RP while Props is on hiatus. Especially given that currently, in the RP, the characters are in separate locations doing separate things. However, what do you two think?

[CocoCody 508]

Yeah, you do make a fair point with that and I do have an urge to continue with our plot point, but I do think that it makes sense to wait for props because he is a contributing factor to our RP, I am not sure how long he will be, but I am optimistic about it. @Skylight Scintillate

Magnolia has heard of Ponyville before, however at least for right now she was unsure. "I would be alright staying with you for a bit - I am not sure about settling in anywhere permanently, but I'll give you the benefit of the doubt for now." Magnolia agreed.

When Magnolia says that she's alright with staying for a bit, is she talking about staying with Twilight, or Twilight's parents? Because it's a bit ambiguous here and I want to make sure I understand which option Magnolia is choosing.

Magnolia looked to Twilight, and didn't seem to have much to say about Twilight's statement. "I don't consider it noble. I just consider it the right thing to do. Not everyone has a fancy crown, or their name everywhere like yours. Most ponies live their lives and are never known, or complimented for it. I think that it would be better for something to be addressed. I have avoided coming here, for a long time, because of the entitled nature of Canterlot ponies. I have a question to ask you. How can you, Celestia, and Luna, consider your reign morally just, while the folks who are right under your hooves are some of the most entitled ponies on the planet?" Magnolia asked in a calm, collected tone - as if what she was saying was a matter of fact. 

Tell me if I’m wrong, but it sounds like you’re implying that Twilight is an alicorn princess here. For this RP, Cococody requested that Twilight still be a unicorn when she runs into the others. However, I wanted amending fences to be something Twilight could refer back to, thus this RP takes place in an AU where amending fences already happened while Twilight is still a unicorn.

I've thought to myself and decided that I am going to drop out on my end of this RP - I find myself unsure of what to say in the replies, due to my declining motivation and interest to commit to this RP. You and @CocoCody can continue the story for as long as you'd like. That's my truth about how I've been feeling about this RP lately. I hope you two continue to enjoy the RP. I discussed this with @CocoCody and he was alright with it. 

Alright I understand. I wrote a brief conclusion at the beginning of my post to try to wrap up things on Magnolia's end.
