Shift 4,271 December 14, 2012 Share December 14, 2012 Sorry people, life is getting in the way of a lot of things and i'm not sure if I can keep up with this RP.

Key Gear 6,662 December 16, 2012 Author Share December 16, 2012 Hey, for anyone reading this... We are now open for new RP players to board in Ponyville! Post your OC if you are interested. If not, then that's ok too. We have a pretty strong core of players at the moment. I just want to share the experience. -------------------------------------- Oh of course. How absurd of me. Here is my OC. I can't wait to get started. If there are changes in the RP before they get to ponyville, I will augment my post to reflect that, though I think it is general enough to be alright. ACCEPTED! Ah... Thinking better about it, I'm not sure if I'll be able to keep up with the RP for too long. Given the amount of time I'm taking to build an at least descent post for such amazing RP (I'm not a very literate person, plus the language barrier), and also the fact that my free time might be considerably decreased in a few weeks, I'd better skip this opportunity for now. :c I'll continue to follow everything from outside though. If in the future I feel more stable regarding real life factors, I'll make sure to hop in Los Pegasus or somewhere else if possible. Thanks a lot for the opportunity, anyway~ :3 NUuuuUu11!111!!! Seriously though, I can respect your reasons for not joining in. Don't worry though, this RP is the first in a sequence of them. In the next RP, many characters will be making another appearance (I hope), so there won't be as much extensive backstory to read through. I may have taken a big risk with my latest post, but sometimes you have to give things a hard push to get them moving. Hopefully I made the right choice. Maginificent.... O_O I hadn't quite expected the Dusky / Lapis conversation to lead down this road. In fact, I thought Lapis was going to be delicious. Ummm.... Errr... I mean... I thought that he was going to... Uhh... Not quite get so much information. Yeah, that's what I thought. But, what can I say, Lapis is cool and poised in the face of weirdness and insulting propositions. Handled a highly questionable setup, LIKE A BOSS. Sorry people, life is getting in the way of a lot of things and i'm not sure if I can keep up with this RP. I'm afraid i'll have to leave, whoever wants to can take my spot. Sorry 10 times. Dang it life, YU make me so busy?! Aw well shucks I can understand having a mega busy life though 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bari 7,021 December 16, 2012 Share December 16, 2012 In the next RP, many characters will be making another appearance (I hope) Ya mean Lapis Lazuli might play a part in the next story, maybe this time alongside his assistant?

He's a researcher, and he must have information. Or something. I really don't how I did it. Did you actually not trust in the abilities of my OC? I mean, everypony has what they are good at.

Key Gear 6,662 December 16, 2012 Author Share December 16, 2012 Ya mean Lapis Lazuli might play a part in the next story, maybe this time alongside his assistant? All of my yes! I would love you forever if so. Next RP features lots of Manehattan meandering... More artifacts... Museums... Black markets... Shady ponies... Lots of research to be done. Lots of cash flowing around too. All over the place. Fun times, fun times... He's very persuasive. That's his thing. He's a researcher, and he must have information. Or something. I really don't how I did it. Did you actually not trust in the abilities of my OC? I mean, everypony has what they are good at. Lapis just did what comes natural to him. To be honest, I just wrote Dusky as the character went... I tried changing the course manually at a few points to add a measure of safety, but I had a terrible time doing that and I failed, because, well, the characters kind of demand to be written authentically. So the whole exchange was totally unplanned on my part... Yet it worked out like a scene from a movie, with Lapis as the masterful researcher and Dusky as the one being researched. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bari 7,021 December 16, 2012 Share December 16, 2012 All of my yes! I would love you forever if so. Wonderful. I knew this was to be a series, and I had been planning to follow it. The scholarly duo shall be doing some investigation or whatever. Next RP features lots of Manehattan meandering... More artifacts... Museums... Black markets... Shady ponies... Lots of research to be done. Lots of cash flowing around too. All over the place. Fun times, fun times... Hopefully there shall be other interesting ponies. I'll try to make some friends now just in case they happen to end up in the next roleplay. To be honest, I just wrote Dusky as the character went...

So the whole exchange was totally unplanned on my part... Yet it worked out like a scene from a movie, with Lapis as the masterful researcher and Dusky as the one being researched. Well, that is the course of things you know. Sometimes things just happen. Most of my responses were actually thought out well, but took paths of their own, and evolved. And I like to think of The Case of Charles Dexter Ward while the whole scene played out. It was some of my motivation. Except I can't just imprison any dangerous pony and killed them. One, that would be rather barbaric, and two, I doubt I could accomplish it. Brains or brawn in this case, all through it really. But if there is anything logic and reason can't handle, I'll let somepony else deal with it. Like that nice Magicon fellow. He seems skilled enough to take care of himself. And on the note of new people signing up, I really hope we get enough to replace the ones lost. A full roster is necessary to proper survival. More ponies to use as shields. But seriously, new players may add some new layers and interactions. And that of course is definitely fun. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magicon 468 December 16, 2012 Share December 16, 2012 (edited) Though Magicon is sleeping right now I can honestly say that the backstory with Dusky and that ancient book is epic.

He even knocked on your doors. :3 He would have knocked on Lapis's door, but the poor pony was up for most of the night already, and Dusky is far to considerate for that. Lol, Key's snoring reminds me of the running gag I put up with Starry where she drools whenever she's asleep or knocked out in the second Shifted RP. Darn it Naru, I can never get your name to work with the mention feature. Something about those exclamation marks :3 Anyways, Flow went to bed early, so I don't see why she shouldn't wake up early and join Dusky for breakfast. x) 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, you've sort of stalled his evil plans of revealing all of Dusky's secrets to those two unicorn stallions. Dusky is a clever opponent. Giving Lapis so much information just so he'd stay up late, and be unable to pass it along. But he has only stalled my pony.

Key Gear 6,662 December 17, 2012 Author Share December 17, 2012 (edited) I am indeed! Though I'm sorry that I need a bit of a follow-up. i don't think I've kept up with this for a week, also left for three days. I apologize No worries Clarity! I will summarize the important stuff for you, and bring you up to date: Trixie teleported all of the passengers to her magic show. It ended when she was challenged by Magicon. Trixie threw Flow into a portal to the Frozen North to prove a point. Magicon opened the portal again and brought Flow back. Magicon is awesome. Key Gear and Electrobolt snuck off during the show to break into Trixie's room. After they went in, all hell broke loose on them. Daylight saved them. Dusky and Lapis had a rather intense conversation about a ton of interesting stuff. Key Gear and Electrobolt turn out to be siblings. Lots of hugging and good feelings. Oh... And Water Opal had a VERY interesting conversation with Springer. Got to see a different type of magic show... So that's the essentials... If I missed anything, then I hope that the others will chime in. Also, Vim discovered that the train was running out of water. A serious problem... This is why the train is stopping in Ponyville. Feel free to have your character join Dusky for breakfast. Well, you've sort of stalled his evil plans of revealing all of Dusky's secrets to those two unicorn stallions. Dusky is a clever opponent. Giving Lapis so much information just so he'd stay up late, and be unable to pass it along. But he has only stalled my pony. He'll wake up eventually... Darn it Berry, you caught that indeed! LOL! It is hard to pull the wool over your eyes. Yes, Dusky is a craft devil... XD Edited to add more to summary...

However, I have looked at your OCs and none of them have enough backstory included to fit in well with this RP game. Is there any way that you could add more material to one of them or something like that, so that I can try to understand the character? :3 Or, could you make an OC with a more detailed backstory?

Here be my OC: http://mlpforums.com/page/roleplay-characters/_/arcanel-r2118 Arcanel, I have read over your character's backstory several times at this point, and I am happy that you have made the decision to join in.

Still, after you accepeted me, you have no idea how much I wanted to interrupt the conversation between Berry and Vim. Call me evil like that. Yup, I don't *really* stomp butterflies. Honest. No, really. I don't. Key hates all bugs though. Just imagine her horror in thinking about changelings. I believe you don't worry. But to be completely fair, she'd prefer the changelings. Why? Because they can actually put up a fight, it would be much more satisfying to smash them to the floor. I think that you will... Yay! Tell me about it! I am now working on my response! :3 I shall be expecting walls of text. Still, other things I had to say were: 4. Fast Post. OH MY GOD! My mind was all "Is that really the best we can come up with?" and I had to agree. Seriously. Mail ponies are NOT easy to come up with a decent name. 5. But I felt redeemed with myself with the Vanhoover motto which I'm quite proud of. And finally, there were some grammar errors I would have corrected...if I had time. Today I had drums class and the reason I was late to that was because I was finishing this up and couldn't finish re-reading the whole thing. @, Ever had that feeling that you wrote more than you probably should have? Well, I have the slight feeling that will happen many times with me after last post. Also, in your original post, you mention all the active players. Will you add Something Interesting and myself right now, or after the train leaves Ponyville? Or not adding us at all?
