"So many tables to clean..." Thought Roseluck as she cleaned off the tables inside of her home. She had set up three tables into

one to make things much easier for her future plans. She couldn't wait for her friends to come over, but the process of cleaning for them was such a tiresome bore. She wished that her fantasy world she was preparing in her mind would come true, so she could just use magic to clean everything. It would truly make things much easier for herself, and possibly for her guests as well.

 

"Oh well..." She thought again, putting away the last of the plates inside of her sink. She smiled to herself as she turned to look at

her hard work. The livingroom was truly spotless, a marvel really. Once a horrible mess, now a playable living space. She chuckled to herself as she turned back around to her closet, knowing that her room would be dirty again soon enough. She opened the closet door to bring out a small box with the letters, "Forests and Dragons" on the top, with graphics of warfare in the background. She walked back with the box to place it on the center of the table, and sat in silence as she waited for her friends to arrive at her home.

Magneus dusted himself off, he had tripped over a rock on they way to Roseluck's house, "Blasted rock, i'll send you to oblivion if you do that again" he cursed under his breath,and sighed, he continued down the path towards the house.

He didn't exactly know what Role-Playing was, but it was a chance for him to learn something, he had heard the term once but it was at a nearby renaissance fair.

He checked himself again for any dirt or grass before knocking on the door, he was surprised he was the first one there, of course, a wizard is never late.

Soarin flew through the air plowing through a few clouds and at the same time leaving behind his famous lightning cloud trail. He was off to the meeting place where he and a few other ponies would perform an so called Roleplay or RP for short. 'Whew im glad Spitfire told be to take the day off." Soarin said. He had been working for 2 weeks straight so Spitfire thought it was time for Soarin to take some time off and relax a bit. 'Hmm i wonder what a Role play even is." Soarin question himself. He had never even done heard of such a thing."

 

Soarin thought about it as he continued to fly through the air.

"Ok AJ, I'll finish my homework when I get home", Star Dancer yelled at Applejack as she walked away from Sweet Apple Acres, eager to get to Roselucks house for the game night. "Hmm, I wonder what game we'll be playing" she mumbled to herself as she walked on down the street. AJ's friend Roseluck asked her if she wanted to play, but Zapapple harvest was coming up, so Star eagerly jumped at the opportunity to fill in for her. "Oh I hope I won't be late" Star thought, now running to get there on time.

[Finesthour 7,287]

Rose could hear hoofbeats on her door, signaling that her guests had finally arrived. She jumped out of her chair to walk over to the door and open it slowly. She smiled at Magneus and said,

 

"Thank you coming over! Don't worry, this is gonna be great! I guarantee it!"

[Opalicious 799]

Bumble Berry waved good bye to her friend Banana Sunshine before turning and looking down the street. Racking her brain for the next thing on her mental schedule, she remembered that Roseluck had invited a few ponies to her house for something called role-playing. Bumble didn't really know what it was, but she was eager to find out.

[The Original 571]

"Uh... yes of course, i had nothing better to do" he mentally slapped himself at that, he had a billion other things to do, but currently this was first to go, "So uh... what exactly is Role-playing? I've seen a little bit of it, but from what I've heard its more... complicated?" he walked inside towards the living room, or wherever they were going to play.

[Opalicious 799]

Coming up behind the ponies at the door, she heard Magneus ask what role-playing was. She was thinking the exact same thing in her head, but with Magneus already asking, she decided to be quiet and listen to the answer. Coming up next to Magneus, she said, "Hi guys, I suppose we all just got here?"

[Spectre2343 78]

Star Dancer trotted up to the door, cheery as ever. She walked right in, not thinking about being nice and knocking. "Hi everypony" she yelled as she trotted through the doorway, seeing everypony gathered around. "So Roseluck, what game are we going to be playing today? Pin the tail on the pony? Filly filly colt? What is it", she asked, hyper as ever.

[Finesthour 7,287]

Roseluck chuckled softly as she looked at all of the ponies.

 

"Well, it basiaclly goes like this. We're going to be playing Forests and Dragons, a roleplaying game. We will be making our own characters, and we will roleplay as those characters in a whole new world!"

[Opalicious 799]

"Oh, I've played something like this before! We pretended we were those mythical creatures some ponies call humans and we went around doing things that ponies believed humans did. I can;t wait to begin!" She trotted through the door and looked around, spotting a board in the middle of the room. Clapping her hooves, she headed over and sat down.

[The Original 571]

"Um... oh gosh... what happened with AJ? Wasn't... wasn't she supposed to be joining us? I mean no offence but, i don't think what we are playing is exactly for colts and fillies, but uh... guess it doesn't hurt to try, right guys?" he said looking at the other two ponies, there was something about the yellow one that reminded him of something, "You're uh... Bumble Berry? Is that correct? If so uh... how did it go with Quip?".

There was a small group of friends that Magneus was a part of, it involved Scout, Quip, Magneus, and Marisa. Magneus wanted Gareck to join the group, but he humbly declined, was a shame.

"Oh yes, i heard Lyra was quite uh... good, at this"

[Opalicious 799]

Looking to Magneus, she replied simply, remembering the fireworks pony. "It went well for a while, but we eventually split up, not that we were mad at each other. We just thought...that it wasn't meant. I'm now with a different pony, more specific a pegasus. His name is Rainbow Opal."

Lyra was hoofing it to Roseluck's house. She had been out at the spa with Bon Bon but, as usual, Bon Bon just HAD to talk to some of her other friends, and Lyra just HAD to stay with her otherwise she'd get all upset. Lyra plopped herself up on a bench right outside the establishment and say down (in what everypony else called "really weird position.")

 

Lyra opened her eyes and looked around. The sun was already setting and Bon Bon was nowhere to be seen. "That pony really makes me- ROSELUCK!" Lyra muttered under her breath. She had totally forgot about this game that she was supposed to play at Roseluck's house tonight! Luckily, being the weird little pony that she was, knew all about this "role-playing game" that they were going to try. She always wanted to play it with Bon Bon, but she never understood or really cared that much about it. Lyra finally reached Roseluck's front door. She knocked with a gentle hoof and looked through the window. It looked like everypony was already getting ready to play. "Arg!" She yelled to herself, "Sometimes I just make myself want to- Oh, hi Roseluck, sorry I'm late, I really am, please forgive me." as Roseluck opened the door. Lyra quickly scooted in and found an open spot on the couch to sit on.

[The Original 571]

Magneus looked over at Lyra who just walked in, "Ah Lyra, nice to have you join us, seeing as you are more acquainted with this game" he nodded over at her and looked down at the game placed on the table in the middle of the room, "I've heard your rants before but... what exactly is a 'human'? What do they look like? I want to know what i'm going to be playing"

[Twiliscael 3,960]

Lyra looked up at Magneous. Suddenly feeling awkward with her unhealthy obsession over games and things like this just stared. After a second, she broke out with a "Dear Celestia, I love this game. It's sooo much fun once you get to learn it. It's not hard, trust me! I used to have a friend in Canterlot who'd play with me, he was really funny, and he had the cutest little- oh I'm getting off track aren't I?" she blushed. After regaining her composture, she said "Oh right, a human. According to one of my parent's books and a rant by one of my professors back in college, a human is another intelligent life form, kind of like us. But not like us, either. Humans have emotions and feelings just like us. They're smarter than us, have far greater technology, and live in another world. But there's one distinctive quality that really separates humans from ponies: violence. All throughout human history, there has been violence. They kill other creatures, they kill nature, they kill themselves, they kill each other. Even in times of peace, humans are always killing other humans. Not all are bad, but a rotten apple spoils the bunch if you ask me. Lucky for us, they live in some other dimension." Realizing that everyone else looked pretty bored, she decided to cut her ramblings on there. "Humans look really weird. They stand on two legs and have these weird feet that kind of look like this: (she quickly telekinetically picked up a quill and paper from the table in the center of the room and drew a foot) And they have arms that come out from their backs that have these hands on them (she drew a hand) I'd love to have one of those, it'd let me pick up things, and grab things, and write, and-" Lyra blushed and stopped. "Yeah, humans look really odd." she quietly said as she plopped back down onto her couch.

[Finesthour 7,287]

Rose smiled nervously as the conversation between the ponies quickly escelated. She did not want her friends to already be fighting with each other. She quickly said,

 

"Guys, it's all alright. Just join me at the table. We'll get started right away, and we'll let any later comers join in!"

[Twiliscael 3,960]

Lyra bounced right off of her spot on the couch in excitement. She could FINALLY play. She hated to admit it, but she hadn't played in a while and was a little rusty but she figured she'd get the hang of it. "Oooh, what should are characters be like? What are we doing in the forest?" she asked "What about weapons? Do we need those? Or clothes and armor and stuff? How about-" she cut herself off again. Dang, she HAD to stop rambling. She was just a little excited, that's all. "If you don't mind, I'm just gonna pull up a chair, okay Roseluck?" she asked as she pulled up a chair.

[Winona the Dog 1,984]

Soarin flew down to the ground near Roseluck's house."This must be the place." Soarin said as he entered. As he entered he saw there was already a small group of ponies by a nearby table in the center of the room.

 

"Oh am I late for the roleplay?" He casually asked the group. Normally Soarin is usually late for alot of things but thats normal for him as he doesn't pay attention to the time often.

 

(OOC: Im going to a football game tonight so I propably wont be on this afternoon.)

[The Original 571]

Magneus raised a brow, he was a bit worried about Lyra's excited-ness, but it was probably normal for her.

As Soarin entered Magneus looked over, "No, we haven't even started, Lyra was just explaining to us what humans do and what they look like, and if you go by her description, i would much prefer Equestria over wherever they are"

[Spectre2343 78]

Star sat down at the table, shrugging off Magneus's comment about her. "So Lyra, you sure know a lot about this roleplay game, if there are teams, I want you with me" she said smiling. She was a little confused about how to play, but was intrigued by the point of the game, and was eager to get started.

[Twiliscael 3,960]

"Sure!" Lyra squeed "Teams are always fun! I'll teach you all the tricks and secrets, I promise!" Lyra was really happy at the thought of a teammate. Though she did not know if this particular roleplay had different teams or if everyone worked cooperatively, or if it was a free for all. "Hey, Rooooooseluck?" she asked in an silly voice "Are we playing with teams or no teams or all together or what?" Lyra then realized that everyone was looking at her as she bounced around the room talking and quickly made it back to her couch, where she laid down like a normal pony.

[Winona the Dog 1,984]

Soarin sighed in relief he was glad he wasn't late because he hated joining in on things that were already in progress. "Oh ok then." He said walking over to the table he noticed Lyra and how hyper she was until she sat down like normal he had heard she sometimes sat down un pony like.

 

"Is she always like that?" Soarin thought but shrugged it off. "So whats a rolepay anyway?" Soarin asked outloud

[Finesthour 7,287]

Rose nodded her head quickly.

"We're going to be playing as a group. Meaning that we will be a large group walking around. Unless you want to go alone, that is fine too."

 

Rose turned to face Soarin and said,

"Roleplaying is just that. Playing a role that is not your own. It is quite fun being someone else for a change!"

[The Original 571]

"Interesting enough i guess, how will the hit and miss system work? Its not like we can just say we hit something every time, there has to be some sort of complicated system behind all of it, right?" Magneus had already slightly thought out his character, he would obviously have magic included in his character.
