*Shiny Silvermoon gazed up at the sky, as Titanium @Wizard gestured toward it. She also made the eyes of her puppet roll up to do the same. Then, the unicorn's eyes went back to the paint artist. Giggles slipped out from between her lips.*

Shiny : "Hehehe! The next Cold Moon will only be seen during the next Winter! So keep your blood cold! Or rather at 38⁰ Celcius! It's the temperature at which your equine body is functionning the best!"

Titanium smiles and nods, pretending to understand @Shiny Silvermoon "Mhmm! Yep, gotta keep my uh... Blood cold! But I'll handle that, no need to help this time" She tries to smile as a bead of sweat falls down her forehead.

*Shiny Silvermoon (and Croissanto) turned their attention to @Skylight Scintillate, after hearing her question. The duo then heard @Dynamo Pad join the alicorn in her questioning.*

Shiny : "Did what? I didn't do anything special!" *The confused mare answered, as she rubbed her head with one hoof.*

Croissanto : "You mean that you didn't do anything special YET, since our humor show isn't started! Trust me, you're in for an experience that you both won't forget about!" *The puppet in the unicorn's right hoof said to Skylight and Dynamo.*

"I guess a magician never reveals their secrets, or would that be a unicorn never reveals their secrets? I guess it could be an argument for both, but then I'm not entirely sure." Dynamo wondered aloud, placing a hoof to his chin in thought. "Oh! Maybe this is a part of Shiny's potential performance for the Goof Off!" With a snap of his hoof, Dynamo grinned in excitement. "At any rate, I'm really looking forward to what you and Croissanto have in mind, Shiny!"

Titanium shuffles in place, wondering if she just had a way to get out of this... And then hears she is, in fact, on the list. "Oh, yep, that's me! Ready and raring to go!..." She waves at the Unicorn as he leaves to talk to others. "Yep... Definitely not terrified... I think it's time for a cider." She sighs to herself before heading over to the drinks, searching for the strongest thing they have. "Can't go too crazy, but something to take the edge off would be helpful." She murmurs while surveying what drinks are on offer. It doesn't take her long to pick something out and chugs the first cup before grabbing a second to sip while she wanders around and meets others. "I wonder who else is here" she absent-mindedly says out loud. She spots @Shiny Silvermoon playing with a puppet, probably practicing... As long as she doesn't go crazy and freeze everyone... "I already have cold-hooves, I don't need them to actually be cold." Titanium pauses, wondering if that's a line she could actually use... "That was terrible... I'm going to need more drinks." She turns back to the table and grabs another cider.

Seeing Titanium's wave, Dynamo nodded a soft smile as he added Titanium to the list. "Sounds like a plan and I and everyone look forward to what you have in store to the Goof Off." He says, tilting his head slightly at the mention of terrified. "Titanium? Are you okay? You're not feeling nervous are you?" He asks, but his question would not be answered as Titanium had left for one of the stands. Rubbing the back of his neck, the gaming unicorn took a deep breath and sighed. "I really hope that Titanium is okay. I know what it's like to be nervous, but hopefully that everyone's performance helps out. I know that the Goof Off is all about having fun and having a good laugh together with the crowd." 

21 hours ago, Skylight Scintillate said:

"Dynamo!" Skylight replied. "Oh my gosh, it's been like too long since we've last seen each other. What was that like yesterday or something?" Skylight giggled. "I'm doing good. You know, I've been doing more of the same with magic and statistics and comp sci and hanging out with my friends like Twilight. What about you? What have you been up to, @Dynamo Pad?" Skylight asked.

"You can say that again as it feels like it's been forever since we last saw each other. It feels like yesterday, but then I feel like our last meetup was much longer." Dynamo chuckled as he was always glad when he could meet up with Sky. "I'm glad to hear that you're doing good. It sounds like you've been busy as I remember you said magic, statistics and comp science go hoof in hoof. I remember learning a bit about that in school here and there, but it still sounded a bit confusing. Granted, science was a fun class from the experiments we could take part in." He sighed with a smile as he felt nostalgic. "Ever since the race, I've been busy running the arcade and traveling for tournaments competitions. It's honestly been fun and the moment that this month was upon us, I knew a Goof Off was to be had. Especially after learning of the numerous stories of different Goof Off competitions, I thought that we could have our own spin on things."

19 hours ago, Trilby Hatter said:

Trilby adjusts his collar and then looks Dynamo over. "Hmm... You seem familiar. Were you ever in Las Pegasus? Jazz Fest '03? Or maybe we met at Zelda Con that one time in Fillydelphia? Eh, it doesn't matter. Look, let's just stick together, kid. We'll go places. Your contest will make my business look good, and maybe my business will bring in more ponies to the event. It's a win-win. My sponsorship helps us both out!" Trilby pats his head. "...Taking part? Oh no, no, comedy is not my strong point. I'm here to advertise, that means I get to be part of the panel of judges. I doubt any pony would find me funny anyways." Trilby rubs the back of his neck with visible self-doubt.

"...But hay! Since you asked, there are a few variations of a ball cap. Most have a round or tapered dome. Great for kids, but not always so great for adult ponies with bigger heads. Fully domed just means the dome, or crown, is more full. Typically, you see full domes on trucker hats, but you can find them in a number of sports caps. And by the way, do you like a flat brim or a curved brim? Everypony has their own preference on that." Trilby begins to rattle on. Once someone gets him talking about his passion for hats, the flood gates open!

"Hmmm...I do remember going to Las Pegasus for a tournament, but I'm not sure if we met. I think it was for a Ponymon tournament. The issue was that there were a lot of competitors that took part. Did you happen to make any announcement. I think I remember that Zelda Con. I think I was dressed up as Link from Twilight Princess." Dynamo wondered, while Trilby had patted him on the head. "I completely understand as you're more than welcome to sit back and enjoy the show. Although, I guess advertising would be okay. I don't think I've hosted events that had advertising before, but I guess there's a first for everything." Dynamo wasn't sure what kind of advertising that Trilby had in mind, but he thought it wouldn't hurt to give it a go.

"Oh, I see. That sounds interesting with how a fully domed hat works. I'm okay with the hat I've got, but I'll definitely keep your hat options in mind. Thank you for the offer, though, Trilby. It also sounds like you are into many different hats. Reminds me of all the different video games there are out there and how much fun they are to play." He smiled, admiring the passion in the unicorn's craft of hats.

*A portal appears and Commander Zhabik Klavik and Anarchylight come out.

"Anarchylight, are you sure he'll come?"

*Anarchylight turns to Commander Zhabik Klavik and says.

"He might come, but I'm not sure. He wanted to be part of this event too, but because he's busy he might not come."

As a bright light appeared out of the corner of his eye, Dynamo had turned to see a portal appear out of nowhere. Appearing from the portal was a familiar face in Anarchylight. With a grin, Dynamo waved as he called out to them. "Anarchylight!" As he made his way over, he took notice of another individual that was with them. "It's good to see you again. It's been a while since we last met up. I think it was during The Running of the Leaves. I hope that you've been doing well. Also, I don't think I've met your friend. It's nice to meet you, as well? I hope you don't mind me asking, but what's your name? My name is Dynamo Pad, but my friends call me Dynamo. Also, by any chance, would either of you two be interested in taking part in The Big Goof Off?" He asks, presenting them with the clipboard of names that were already on there.

As he continued to scan the crowd for any other participants that wanted to take part, he took notice of @Wizard Titanium, @Shiny Silvermoon Shiny and @Skylight Scintillate Skylight, who were joined by a bat pony. A bat pony that Dynamo recalled all too well. "Hey, Moonlight!" He called out to @Nitobit Moonlight and the others as he made his way to the group. "It's really good to see you again, as well. How have you been doing? I remember seeing you stopping by here and there in Ponyville. Are you also taking part in The Big Goof Off, by any chance? If so, then there's plenty of opportunities to join in on the fun!"

4 hours ago, Wizard said:

Titanium turns back towards @Skylight Scintillate with a wry smile across her face "Sorry about him, he never grew up." She says, hoping @Nitobit Moonlight heard her. "It's a pleasure to meet you! I've already been signed up to enter, though uh, I'm a professional painter, not much of a jokester, so I'm going to be trying something... New." She ends her works with a forced smile, poorly hiding her nerves as her voice cracks. She clears her throat "Anyway, do you have anything planned?"

"It's nice to meet you too," Skylight replied. "I wish you luck with what you're trying. I kind of have some vague ideas planned, but like, I don't know what I'm doing. But then again, does anypony really know what they're doing?" Skylight shrugged, giggling slightly.

3 hours ago, Moonlight Wane said:

"Hi Skylight! Nice to see you again."

"Hello Moonlight. Are you participating in this? If so, what do you plan on doing?" Skylight asked. She glanced at the banana curiously.

Moonlight blows a raspberry behind her back, proving her wrong.

Skylight tried and failed to stifile a giggle.

"Ah, that's nice. Well I can't wait to see where this goes!" Skylight replied.

[Trilby Hatter]

Trilby looks around at all the contestants, surprised to see so many. Some seem to be traveling long distances. Some seem to know each other. And one of them has a... talking croissant? "...And now I'm hungry again." Trilby comments to himself.

"Fantastic! I advertise my hat store, and you get all the talent. Thank you so much, partner. I'll be sticking by you for the most part, but I do want to mingle with the talent. And hey, if you ever need an intermission or half-time show, let me know! I can always put something together for the crowd while the talent gets ready." Trilby gives Dynamo a wink and a nod before going off to explore the venue.

"Eeyup! I still got to work hard to be the best, like no one ever was~!" Dynamo started, before ending in a sing song-like voice. "Uh oh. I think I got that song stuck in my head again. Worth it!" Dynamo chuckled as he turned his attention back over towards @Samurai Equine Trilby.

"I get all of the talent? I don't think I understand what you mean. I've never made a hat before, but I know my talent is in video games." The gaming unicorn tilted his head in confusion, while being unsure of Trilby's words. "You're welcome and I look forward to working together. If you need me, I'll mostly be on stage or backstage for the Goof Off. I might take you up on that offer with a halftime show if it's needed. If you have anyone else that might be interested in the Goof Off, then please be sure to let me know. I'll be more than happy to discuss it with them and place them on the list if they are interested." Dynamo nodded as he waved off Trilby, who had gone to explore the rest of the venue.

"I'm just here to support Titanium and watch the show. I'm not good at being funny on stage." Moonlight noticed Skylight looking at the banana. "Oh, and I might try to enhance somepony's performance. I don't know. Time will tell." He smiled mischievously.

It's a shame that you won't be able to take part, but I completely understand. If you do decide to change your mind, then I would be all for adding you to the list." Dynamo smiled with a nod. Tilting his head in confusion of the banana, the gaming unicorn couldn't help in raising an eyebrow curiously. "What do you mean by enhance somepony's performance? Did you have something in mind like supporting somepony when their turn came up? If so, then I think that would be okay. Unless this is meant to be a surprise? Do you know what Moonlight is talking about, Sky?" He wondered, turning to @Skylight Scintillate Skylight as he wondered Moonlight had in store. However, it seemed that only time would truly tell.

Croissanto : "Nope!" *The puppet attached to Shiny's right hoof promptly answered @Dynamo Pad's question.* "This banana is not for eatin- Okay, kinda! But then @Nitobit Moonlight plans on doing something with the peel."

Shiny : "No, wait! A banana peel is a weapon of choice, you should allow him to keep it, just in case. You'll remember those words, when the time has come." *Shiny Silvermoon suddenly intervened.*

Croissanto : "Could you be more vague and cryptic, please?" *Croissanto sarcastically requested.*

Shiny : "Of course! When the fearsome foe will pounce on his beloved ones, the nocturnal warrior will use the fruit of freedom to restore harmony." *The unicorn said, while a mystical Chinese music was playing in the background (which you can't hear without breaking the 4th wall).*

"Such a child..." Titanium sighs, hiding a smile as she pretends not to notice @Nitobit blowing raspberries behind her.

Trilby walks over. "So, you're name is Titanium, huh? You know, that reminds me of a song I heard. 🎵 You shot me down, but I won't fall. I am a metal alloy~! ...Or something like that. It's been a while since I heard it."

*Hearing the question of @Samurai Equine Trilby, Shiny Silvermoon swiftly turned her head toward him.*

Shiny : "Of course not! He's not even alive, he's just a puppet." *She answered his question, while rolling her eyes.*

Croissanto : "That's not true! I am alive! Shiny didn't even learn how to be a ventriloquist!" *The croissant-shaped puppet spontaneously responded.*

Shiny : "My talent is natural!" *The mare argued with Croissanto.*

"I'd be surprised if the banana wasn't for eating, but I think I understand what the plan is. As long as nopony gets hurt, then I'm okay with this being a part of the show." Dynamo says, pondering on the thought as he placed a hoof upon his chin. "Shiny does make a fair point in this. You never know when the banana will be there to protect you. Especially if you're running and need a quick getaway. I guess you can see the appeal of the scenario." He chuckled as he gave a pun. It may not have been the best kind of pun, but it was a pun he felt proud of. Upon hearing @Skylight Scintillate Skylight's response, the gaming unicorn gave a tilt of his head in uncertainty. "I wouldn't say that. At least from what Shiny and Croissanto were talking about. It sounds like a group effort for this year's Goof Off competition. One that I'm all for if it's all in good fun!" He grinned as he grabbed the microphone from the stand on the stage. All before levitating it over to himself in a levitation spell. With a cough to get everypony's attention, he spoke.

@Shiny Silvermoon @Skylight Scintillate @Nitobit @Wizard @ChrysalisM @Samurai Equine @ComanderZhabikKlavik 

"Attention, everypony! May I please have your attention. There's still time to sign up for the Big Goof Off competition! If you wish to sign up, please make your way over to me and I shall write down your name! We will begin in a few more minutes, so please don't hesitate to sign up if you wish to take part!" After making his announcement, he began making his way back towards the stage so he'd be easy to spot to ask to sign up.

"Hi Dynamo!" Meet my friend Commander Zhabik Klavik. He is a superbeing, class God and currently the ruler of the country Garry's Mod in which we both live. He is a quadrillion three years old. We would both like to take part in this event. Someone else wanted to come with us, but he is busy and probably won't come.

As he was nearing the stage, Dynamo's ears perked as he heard his name being called. Stopping in his step to turn towards the source of the voice, he smiled as he was greeted by both Anarchylight and the now known Commander Zhabik Klavik. "Hey Anarchylight! Hello to you, as well Commander Zhabik! It's really nice to meet you." He smiled, tilting his head in slight confusion at the mention of the country they were from. "I don't think I've heard of Garry's Mod before, but for some reason it sounds familiar at the same time. I wonder if I can visit it in my travels someday." He smiled as he showed the duo the clipboard with names on it. "Oh, by the way! Seeing that you're here, does that mean that you're interested in taking part in the Big Goof Off? We're still accepting members and we'll be starting soon."

As he looked over towards the changeling and small white earth pony, Dynamo excused himself momentarily. Making his way over towards the duo, before giving a slight cough to make his presence known. "Excuse me and I'm really sorry if I'm interrupting. I hope that everything is okay." He started, taking note of the masks that had taken his interest. "Those are some really cool looking masks. Where did you get them? Actually, are you by any chance taking part in the Big Goof Off today? If so, I'm taking down names on my clipboard. Are one of you taking part, or are you both working together as a duo? If so, then what are you names? My name is Dynamo Pad, but my friends call me Dynamo. It's nice to meet you both."

“I’m Cimex, and my little friend here is named Ellery Quinn. We’re working together.” says the changeling, “The masks are from a really far off place called Italy. They’re used for a particular type of theatre known as Commedia del- Ooh! That reminds me! I’m also waiting on a few friends, so could you put down The Official Unofficial Equestrian Commedia Company too? They should be here in time for the show.”

Titanium swivels to face yet another new voice, she bounces a little to the beat of the attempted song "You know, I think I've heard of that, too! It was sung by Songbird Serenade! Fantastic song, but I think you're missing 'Titanium' from that song" She giggles to herself, trying not to give away that she knows all of the lyrics off by heart.

Titanium freezes at the sudden announcement by @Dynamo Pad "Oh boy... Here we go... Not... Long... Now." She mutters to herself, her legs trembling slightly at the thought of performing, well, anything. But she knows what she planned, and once it's over, it'll become a funny story to tell over the campfire. She reminds herself that she's faced worse than a crowd, but finds little solace in that thought. 'That was in the past' she thinks, 'That's over, done, this is something I have yet to do.' She realises she's been staring for the last minute or two and shakes her head as if trying to shake loose her fears and anxieties. "Nuh uh, you're not a chicken, you've painted in front of ponies, this isn't any different. Just... More ponies." She moves towards the side of the stage and places a few items she will need for her performance near the entrance; some poles and a large sheet, a few buckets of paint, and 2 stools. "That should do it" she says to herself, checking everything over one last time. "Now... I just need a victim..." Titanium smiles to herself, knowing exactly who to bring on stage with her...

As he was nearing the stage, Dynamo's ears perked as he heard his name being called. Stopping in his step to turn towards the source of the voice, he smiled as he was greeted by both Anarchylight and the now known Commander Zhabik Klavik. "Hey Anarchylight! Hello to you, as well Commander Zhabik! It's really nice to meet you." He smiled, tilting his head in slight confusion at the mention of the country they were from. "I don't think I've heard of Garry's Mod before, but for some reason it sounds familiar at the same time. I wonder if I can visit it in my travels someday." He smiled as he showed the duo the clipboard with names on it. "Oh, by the way! Seeing that you're here, does that mean that you're interested in taking part in the Big Goof Off? We're still accepting members and we'll be starting soon."

Commander Zhabik Klavik: "Yes, we are interested in taking part in the Big Goof Off."

“I’m Cimex, and my little friend here is named Ellery Quinn. We’re working together.” says the changeling, “The masks are from a really far off place called Italy. They’re used for a particular type of theatre known as Commedia del- Ooh! That reminds me! I’m also waiting on a few friends, so could you put down The Official Unofficial Equestrian Commedia Company too? They should be here in time for the show.”

It's nice to meet you both, Cimex and Ellery Quinn. Awesome and sounds like a plan! I'll have you written down as a duo." Dynamo smiled, as he added more participants for the Goof Off. "I don't think I've heard of Italy before, but Commedia del sounds really interesting. I hope to learn more about it when your turn comes up." Dynamo was uncertain of the location, but the way the duo described the masks had made him more curious. Upon hearing that more would arrive, the gaming unicorn raised an eyebrow in both surprise and wonder. "There will be more joining you? Excellent! I'll be sure to add them to the list and say that it's a group performance. I look forward to seeing what the Official Unofficial Equestrian Commedia Company has in store." Dynamo grinned as it sounded like a group performance was in store.

As he looked toward both Anarchylight and Commander Zhabik Klavik, Dynamo grinned as he wrote down both names on the list. "Excellent! Sounds like we got ourselves another duo for the Goof Off. Thank you for letting me know and it looks like you're both just in time! Time to get this party started~!" He finished in a sing song-like theme as he started making his way up towards the stage. Upon reaching center stage, Dynamo tapped his hoof upon the mic to get everyone in the crowd's attention.

@Shiny Silvermoon @Wizard @Nitobit @Samurai Equine @ComanderZhabikKlavik @ChrysalisM @Emerald Heart

Attention, everypony! 

I'd like to thank each and every one of you for joining us tonight as tonight is a very special night! Tonight! Several of our participants, local and/or traveling, will take part in a contest of skill, luck, fun and a whole lot of funny! Thaaaaat's right! Today, one of our lucky contestants shall be crowned the champion in THE BIG GOOF OFF!!!!!" Upon Dynamo's announcement, he could see everyone giving a big round of applause. Smiling at the enthusiasm of the crowd before him, the gaming unicorn continued. "Now then, as for the rules of the Goof Off, it's pretty simple. For those that are new or are unfamiliar with how a Goof Off is meant to be, then I'll be more than happy to explain!" Levitating a book from his nearby saddlebag, Dynamo flipped through the contents until he reached his desired page. "A big thank you to Princess Twilight and Starlight Glimmer for allowing me to borrow this book. As stated in the Official Goof Off Rulebook, page 33, subsection b, paragraph 4. All of the competitors have free range when taking part in the goof off. Be it singing, dancing, playing, prancing, joking or performing. To make the audience chuckle, chortle, giggle, guffaw, hoot and holler, whoop it up and party down." Tuning the book to a close, Dynamo had smiled as he raised a hoof to the air. "Essentially, it's all about having fun, making the crowd and your fellow competitors laugh and to have as much fun as possible. Now, I'm not the one that's starting the show tonight, but I do have a way to get this party started~!"

Rushing over towards the backstage, the gaming unicorn made sure to roll out what looked to be a familiar party cannon. "Now, I'm not someone that is good at telling jokes, but I am sompeony that loves puns. Although, I think I'm going to skip the puns and jokes and go straight the part where I throw pies at everypony in the crowd. Thankfully, I don't have pies, buuuuuuuut...nopony said anything about using a patented pending party cannon!" Getting behind the party cannon, Dynamo grinned as he pulled the string on top as batches of cake frosting had been launched. All the while, a light rain of cake frosting could be seen falling overhead where some audience members had some cake frosting on them. Many laughed, while some enjoyed the free treat of cake frosting. "Now that I've got eveypony all warmed up, I'd love to welcome you our host for tonight. She's your go to party pony, the mare extraordinaire, the super duper party pony and the queen of laughs! Give it up for....Pinkie Pie!"

She's your go to party pony, the mare extraordinaire, the super duper party pony and the queen of laughs! Give it up for....Pinkie Pie!"

As the announcement had been made, a giant cake had slowly been rolled from back stage to the center of the stage. At first, nothing had been happening. That was until the name 'Pinkie Pie' had been uttered, as well as the multiple nicknames that the pink party planning pony had been known for. The cake had begun to move, almost as if it was going to explode. Before anyone could react of question it, the cake had exploded. More and more frosting had been rained onto the crowd. Out from the cake, a pink earth pony, covered in frosting had made her appearance known. "Helloooooo, everypony~! It's your host Pinkie Pie, welcoming you all to this year's Big Goof off!" She exclaimed, hopping all over the place as she was super excited to be hosting this event. "I want to give a big shout out to Dynamo Pad for the idea to launch some delicious cake frosting to the crowd. Since I'd be in the cake, I needed some assistance getting started. Now a Big Goof Off like this would probably need my giant party cannon, Big Bertha! Although, I think we can have more exciting moments to come! I guess jumping out of the cake is one way to take the cake" She giggled and snorted at her little pun, before directing her attention towards the crowd.

"Now, then. I know what you may be thinking that Goof Off's are serious business. I can guarantee you that this Goof Off will be the most, incredible, amazing, super spectacular Goof Off in Equestrian history! I'm talking laughs, randomness, silliness, fun, fun fun fun and more fun to be had! Did I mention fun!? Because I most certainly heard fun!" Pinkie grinned, while Dynamo had levitated her the list of participants that were taking part in the competition. "We have some amazing participants this year and I think we should let some of them take the stage to show you what laughs and fun they have in store for us all. Let's put our hooves together as we welcome our first contestant and her croissant companion. @Shiny Silvermoon Shiny Silvermoon and Croissanto!!!" She announced, joining Dynamo backstage as she hopped away. Allowing the first contestant to take center stage.

[Shiny Silvermoon]

*Immediately after hearing her name and Croissanto's, Shiny Silvermoon made her way to the center of the stage. She pushed the remains of the giant cake aside to land a wooden stool. Then, the mare sat on the stool and brought the microphone closer, with her magic.*

Shiny : "Thank you, @Pinkie Pie and @Dynamo Pad! And greetings, everypony! For those who don't know me, my name is Shiny Silvermoon and this is Croissanto! Our performance will be in the form of a comedy show!" *The unicorn introduced herself, as well as the puppet she was holding.*

Shiny : "And to make sure that our show is hilarious, we made the preview in front of a famous humorist : Maud Pie!"

Croissanto : "That's right! We rocked her world without any doubt!"

Shiny : "I can't believe that we almost saw the corners of her mouth stretch upward! I've never seen her so sedimental before!" *The pony with a silver mane added with a cheeky grin.*

Croissanto : "We should begin the show ore the other participants will keep waiting for their turn! I think you wanted to start off with a story which truly happened to you, right?" *Croissanto being equally smug.*

Shiny : "Indeed! I was on a very important mission given by the one and only Princess Silky! My goal was to retrieve the elphenite usually wore by her like an amulet-" *The mare began to narrate the story to the crowd. But she was interrupted by her croissant-shaped puppet.*

Croissanto : "What in Equestria is an elephantine?"

Shiny : "You mean an elphenite! I didn't really knew much about it either! All I knew is that it was a green gem and that it was hidden in the Canterlot Castle! However, I wasn't alone on this mission! Moonlight Wane and Skylight Scintillate were there to accompany me on this journey!"

"Together we managed to infiltrate the castle without getting caught. It was until I found myself face to face with a royal guard. I awkwardly stared at him for a few minutes, as I tried to find the right words. The success of our quest, as well as our freedom, depended on the next words coming out of my mouth. What I said to the royal guard is..."

*Shiny remained silent for a few seconds, in order to let the suspense build up. Even Croissanto's glass-made eyes were hanging on her lips.*

Spoiler

Shiny : [German accent] "We tourists from Ger-mane-y! We searching for bathrooms and got lost in you castle! Ya!"

*Croissanto was speechless, he didn't know how to react. He was presumably wondering if Shiny was related to either Scooby Doo or Shaggy.*

Shiny : "Then I said to my campanions : Pssss! Guys, I think I've convinced him!"

Croissanto : "Oh Shiny! You'll never cease to surprise me! On another topic, I came across a childhoold friend, the other day! A bipolar baguette who grew up with me in the same bakery." *The croissant-shaped puppet changed the topic of the conversation.*

Shiny : "Hey! I also have a bearpolar friend!" *Shiny beamed happily.*

Croissanto : "A bipolar friend, you mean!"

Shiny : "No, he's a bearpolar! One day, he's the best friend in Equestria and, the next one, he could eat somepony!"

Croissanto : "That's what I said! He's a bipolar!"

Shiny : "No no no! My friend is a- Fine, give me 2 seconds." *The mare then left the wooden stool and went to the backstage. She quickly came back with a framed portrait.*

Spoiler

The portrait :

Shiny : "My friend is a BEARPOLAR! One day, he's the best friend in Equestria and, the next one, he could eat somepony!"

Croissanto : "I can't bear much more of your nonesense! Intermission, please!"

*Shiny Silvermoon (and Croissanto) bent in front of the crowd, while it was applauding the duo, before leaving the stage. It was now somepony else's turn to shine under the spotlights.*

OOH, we're telling jokes? What did the walrus say to the sea lion? You have my SEAL of approval!

What did Applejack tell Applebloom that made her happy? You're the apple of my eye!

*Hearing the question of @Samurai Equine Trilby, Shiny Silvermoon swiftly turned her head toward him.*

Shiny : "Of course not! He's not even alive, he's just a puppet." *She answered his question, while rolling her eyes.*

Croissanto : "That's not true! I am alive! Shiny didn't even learn how to be a ventriloquist!" *The croissant-shaped puppet spontaneously responded.*

Shiny : "My talent is natural!" *The mare argued with Croissanto.*

Trilby snickers, trying hard to hold back some laughter. "Hey, save it for the show, you two! You're getting me all buttered up... Oh! Buttered up! A croissant! That's... Eh, nevermind. Not my show. Good luck, you two!" Trilby waves as he passes. He gives Croissanto one last look to make sure he's really a puppet, but shrugs it off for now.

*Anarchylight sees Dynamo.
"Hi Dynamo!" Meet my friend Commander Zhabik Klavik. He is a superbeing, class God and currently the ruler of the country Garry's Mod in which we both live. He is a quadrillion three years old. We would both like to take part in this event. Someone else wanted to come with us, but he is busy and probably won't come.
Commander Zhabik Klavik: "Hi Dynamo! Nice to meet you!"
*Commander Zhabik Klavik and Anarchylight walked to the stage behind Dynamo.

Trilby leans over, eavesdropping on this conversation. "Woo brother, was that your introduction or your act? Err... I mean, thank you for traveling all this way to our little slice of reality. Hope you enjoy your stay, and good luck~!" Nice save, Trilby.

Titanium swivels to face yet another new voice, she bounces a little to the beat of the attempted song "You know, I think I've heard of that, too! It was sung by Songbird Serenade! Fantastic song, but I think you're missing 'Titanium' from that song" She giggles to herself, trying not to give away that she knows all of the lyrics off by heart.

"Songbird Serenade? Well no wonder I'm familiar with it. She's the same pony that sang about swinging from chandeliers because she drank too much cider. How does she see through that mane? ... Oh, well, I must be going. Lots of official business to tend to. Good luck!" Trilby waves as he passes.

"And remember, this Goof Off is sponsored by Trilby Hatter's Headwear Emporium! No matter the season or the occasion, there's a hat for that. And you can find the perfect one at Trilby's. Again, that's Trilby Hatter's Headwear Emporium. Ask about our custom hat commissions. And now, back to the show!"

"AH!" In a split second reaction, Trilby shuffles his hat away, replacing it with an umbrella hat. He opens it up just in time to make sure it protects him from any falling pieces of cake. "Phew~ Was not about to let THAT ruin one of my good hats." Trilby says to himself as he sighs with relief.

Trilby makes sure his mic is clean as he gets closer to Pinkie. "What a surprise! The famous Pinkie Pie, element of laughter and co-savior of Equestria many times over. Pinkie, will you be here to judge this competition with me and Dynamo? Not going to lie, we have quite a large number of participants tonight, and so the competition seems rather steep. I've all ready seen how promising they are before the show began. This Goof Off is gonna be gooooooooood." Trilby says, excited and looking for more of Pinkie's insight.

Trilby is at first left speechless. But then he has to put his mic away and turn his head so that he can laugh his heart out. He even has to lean against @Dynamo Pad just to keep from falling over. But eventually, he puts on his good hat again, waits for the audience to have their reaction, and then begins speaking. "Well I think I can speak for everypony when I say, that was a FANTASTICALLY hilarious way to open the Goof Off. I don't know what it is about Shiny and her talking croissant friend, but I haven't laughed this much since I saw a comedian wearing a Trilby's brand rainbow wig. ...That's right, Trilby Hatter's Headwear Emporium also sells a line of wigs, the perfect reveal to go with our hats. But don't take my word alone. Dynamo, Pinkie, what were your thoughts on the first act?"

Croissanto : "That's what I said! He's a bipolar!"

Shiny : "No no no! My friend is a- Fine, give me 2 seconds." *The mare then left the wooden stool and went to the backstage. She quickly came back with a framed portrait.*

The portrait :

Shiny : "My friend is a BEARPOLAR! One day, he's the best friend in Equestria and, the next one, he could eat somepony!"

Croissanto : "I can't bear much more of your nonesense! Intermission, please!"

*Shiny Silvermoon (and Croissanto) bent in front of the crowd, while it was applauding the duo, before leaving the stage. It was now somepony else's turn to shine under the spotlights.*

As Shiny and Croissanto took the stage, Pinkie made sure to keep an eye on both the participant and the crowd. Sure, she was a host alongside Dynamo in the Goof Off, but she was someone that couldn't resist in watching the fun. It wasn't until she heard her sister's name, that Pinkie gave a loud, audible gasp. "MAUD!?" Was her only response as the party pony, who was backstage, was gone in an instant. The next moment, the crowd could see her center stage with a bag of popcorn in hoof. "Oh! I just love it when I listen to Maud's puns at comedy night!" Pinkie grinned, snickering and giggling up a storm from pun after pun. "So many rock puns. It's puns like that I know Maud would be truly proud of. She'd be rocking and rolling with pride." Pinkie giggled once more, getting into the numerous puns. Her popcorn flying out of the bucket container she held on hoof from her constant laughing. "Ooooooh~! A bearpolar! I wonder if it's that same bear I met when I was exploring North to Yakyakistan! Sounds like he would make for an interesting friend. Probably the life of the party!" She grinned, clapping her hooves together as the performance had come to a close.

She was about to take a bit of her popcorn, but noticed that her popcorn bucket was empty. "Awwww. I guess that means I have to get more popcorn, but first!" She zipped up onto the stage as @Shiny Silvermoon Shiny and Croissanto had made their exit. "Give it up for Shiny and Croissanto, everypony! Weren't those two just a riot!? My sides still hurt from their nonstop puns! Wasn't that just funny, or should I say punny?" She giggled with a wink, before catching the clipboard as it fell out of her mane. "We already have a strong start and we still have many more contestants to go! So, let's not waste any time as we welcome our next contestant, @Wizard Titanium!" She and the crowd joined in a round of applause as Pinkie rushed to get more popcorn, before making her way backstage.

Getting behind the party cannon, Dynamo grinned as he pulled the string on top as batches of cake frosting had been launched. All the while, a light rain of cake frosting could be seen falling overhead where some audience members had some cake frosting on them. Many laughed, while some enjoyed the free treat of cake frosting. "Now that I've got eveypony all warmed up, I'd love to welcome you our host for tonight. She's your go to party pony, the mare extraordinaire, the super duper party pony and the queen of laughs! Give it up for....Pinkie Pie!"

As the announcement had been made, a giant cake had slowly been rolled from back stage to the center of the stage. At first, nothing had been happening. That was until the name 'Pinkie Pie' had been uttered, as well as the multiple nicknames that the pink party planning pony had been known for. The cake had begun to move, almost as if it was going to explode. Before anyone could react of question it, the cake had exploded. More and more frosting had been rained onto the crowd.

 

Titanium enjoyed the opening ceremony of the goof off, but before she could react, mountains of cake and frosting exploded into the crowd. Standing far too close to the stage, Titanium takes a direct hit of cake and frosting, knocking her off her hooves and lying in a mound of sweet confectionery. Rendered dazed and confused, she didn't move until after the performance of @Shiny Silvermoon

(OOC: I am still creating the images to go along with my performance, so I'll be splitting my performance up into pieces so as to get some crowd involvement.)

Titanium staggers on stage, cake and frosting still stuck to her coat in places. She stands before the crowd, still uneasy on her hooves, and addresses everypony. "Hello and welcome!... The cake is not part of my performance... *ehem* I will be performing a special show that involves painting! Before I begin, I will need somepony from the audience to help!" Titanium pauses, waiting for hooves to be raised, though, of course, the pony she wanted to pick on didn't have their hoof raised. "Uh... You there!" She points into the audience, one pony points to themselves. "Oh, no, the pony next to you!" The pony on the wrong side gets excited and points to themselves. "Uh... N-no, the... blue bat pony that I definitely have never met before and definitely does not know me at all!" (Psssst, @Nitobit that's you)

Titanium holds one hoof out towards Moonlight, a single sweat drop slides down her face. "Everypony! Please give it up for Moon- Uh, I mean, my new and totally randomly selected assistant!"
