ooc An Unexpected Trip to the Human World (OOC - No longer accepting!)

[sunne 659]

Well, I could still find you, except that I already have a pony, and my character is male. So I suppose that doesn't really help.

I am fine with male, but if I had a choice I'd choose someone female.

it would be interesting for Star Song and Snow Song to meet though, theyd probably be surprised at the similarity in their names, and common interest in music.

It's fine if you think you're too busy for another pony. I'm sure someone without a pony will take me in.

 

... At least I hope.

 

@@00Pony, you still haven't replied to Hypnotic. Is it fine with you if my OC finds you? You could be at her apartment(explaining the closet) or something.

I don't mind finding you if Flame Dancer doesn't have a problem with it, but the way things are going right now, a third party showing up would probably make things awkward.

00Pony, so you mind if Diliges is paired up with Rachel?

 

 

Terribly sorry for making you two wait so long   I was called away from the computer for a while.

I have absolutely no problem with Rachel finding Diliges, I feel like their interaction could be interesting, him being the semi eccentric fellow that he is.

Yes, yes it would.

Meh, whatever. I think I'll just ask Chaotic Overlord if he/she is fine with taking me in. If not, whoever is playing Jack.

Also how do you think we should meet?

Page 4 near the bottom. His age says he looks 16, and I posted an explanation for that a little bit back, but that'll probably change (he is a shapeshifter after all)

Last place I left Diliges he was looking out a window, so he's probably still inside the apartment. Perhaps she comes home and catches him there? Or she just enters the room where he is standing.

What do you say?

I've been gone for five days and I'm only now back, and my schedules packed so I won't be able to consistently RP. Sorry, when my schedule clears up in a few days I'll be up to RP again, but for now I gotta pull out of this. I'm too far behind anyway. Yes, I do know this will have an effect on Silent Dawn/Pinkie Pie. I'll try to discuss on what could happen to her from here, but I'm not up to RP.

 

Long, apologetic message because I feel bad I left without warning.

[Dawn Stripes 301]

Aww! And I was just about to say, what would happen if the My Little Ponies saw Equestria Girls? That would be so many levels o' meta my head woulda' esploded. You'd be all over that.

[Dawn Stripes 301]

 

Cicada smiled. "Yes please," she said, feeling hungry. She could always go out for a walk later to get her fill of emotion. Thank Chrysalis that humans were so free with their emotions; much more so than ponies! She could feed on their excess emotions and they wouldn't even notice.

 

 

 

Ah! What have you done? Do have any idea how profound are the sociological and physiological implications of that statement? I have to rewrite everything.    

[00Pony 286]

So after some research, I have uncovered some interesting things.

 

First and least significantly, I didn't have to have Ulysses go through that whole ritual to get out of the car, since K-9 Unit vehicles are equipped with a 'door popper', a button the press and it opens the back doors for their dogs automatically.

 

The other one that holds more credence to everyone but me, is that Changelings were actually a thing from European folk lore. In the folk lore, they were something that was left in place of a kidnapped human child to absorb the love from the child's parents.

 

I have come up with a small head canon around this that might be interesting (but definitely not necessary, as this might get depressing). Since Changelings can't support a foal growing inside of them, and the offspring have to be removed and placed in the growth pod things, maybe after the Changeling foal is out of the stage where it is required to be in a pod, it subconsciously feeds off the love from its parents and the hatchery workers, but sometimes that isn't enough? Perhaps sometimes the Changelings have to kidnap a pony foal and replace it with their offspring, using some of their own transformation magic to cause the foal to appear as the kidnapped one, and the Changeling can then subconsciously feed off of the love that is being shown to it by its 'parents', the love that was meant for the kidnapped foal?

 

But why wouldn't the love of the other Changelings be enough? Because it is very difficult to feed off another Changeling's emotions.  It isn't impossible for a fully mature Changeling, but they have to focus to do it, and it is very rare to be able to do so nowadays. A young one who subconsciously feeds wouldn't be capable of doing this.

 

It is part of my head canon that Changelings cannot sense/see the emotions of their fellow Changelings. They can understand the feelings of others so well, but their own kind are the biggest mystery to them.

 

What becomes of the kidnapped foal however? Are they raised by the Changelings as well? Sort of. They are placed in a kind of suspended animation spell, but also a linking spell, both of which are unique to Changelings. The suspended animation spell would put them into a kind of comatose state, and when coupled with the linking spell, feel as if they are living their life, despite the fact that it is indeed the Changeling. The Changeling in their place will believe that they are undergoing to pony's life, which they are, but they will have on seperate feeling that is not covered by the linking spell: They know they are different. They will never speak of it, but will know that when the Changelings that have been secretly watching them their whole life come to take them back to the Hive - usually when they get to the age where they have to physically focus on absorbing love and other emotions - They know that is where they belong. The foal they replaced is then replaces them, and continues their life as if nothing happened, completely unaware that the first few years of their life is nothing but shared memories.

 

There is another method that Changelings may use that implement the linking/comatose spells. The adult ponies they kidnap to replace are placed in the exact same state, and given a life in an Inception-esque kind of world. They are dreaming, but unaware of it. The Changelings can influence their dreams slightly - causing this to serve as another form of training to understand a pony's behavior depending on certain stimuli, but isn't nearly as reliable as experiencing them firsthand - And when they place their offspring in the same sort of state, adding them into the two pony's dream world as if it was their own child, it can feed off the love that they don't know they are feeling. The Changelings that are raised in this way are usually not as mentally developed as the rest, and thus they are the more somewhat single-minded individuals. Changelings that replaced a foal and were raised by Pony parents are usually better at understanding pony behavior and cultures, and are better at impersonation.

(Possible Diliges back story? Perhaps.)

 

Again, this is just something I came up with today at work, so you guys don't need to accept/incorporate it if you don't want to. But I would like to hear your feedback. Criticism? Suggestions? Fire away!

[Dawn Stripes 301]

You guys are getting some pretty deep material. I gotta' say I really like the thing with the holes in their bodies that grow unless they feed on love. Was that outta' the blue or inspired by something else?

(OOC: My mind is running wild with possibilities of how humans know so much. So much involuntary brainstorming.)

 

Logan waves his hand slowly in front of her forehead, giving her a good look of the tattoo on the underside of his forearm - The word "Forgiven" with branching thorn branches (linked below) - He steps to the side of her and does the same at her shoulder blades, then returns to his place in front of her, arms crossed loosely, and shakes his head, "I don't seem them, or feel them. I honestly can't think of a reason why the camera would pick them up. Maybe because they're supposed to be there, but aren't?" He shrugs, turning back around to stir the contents of the pan, "So Alicorns possess both wings and horns?" Logan asks, having only heard the term in passing before, and he was actually pretty curious now.

 

 

(OOC: http://oi43.tinypic.com/ifs9cg.jpg that's how the tattoo on his arm is suppose to look)

 

 

Do love do love. I have another word for involuntary brainstorming. I call it the act of creation.

@@Hypn0ticD, I have an idea. I believe Princess Luna is attempting to regulate this conflict through their dreams. I believe she and Celestia have found this way to achieve cross-world communication. Maybe they are using this chance to achieve a more peaceful resolution since you know Earth is a neutral ground. Or it could be something else if you want. Whatever happens i will attempt to "teach" important lessons that may refer to the changelings themselves too... So.... you guys liked that? I mean the dream.

@@Hypn0ticD,@,

 

Sounds good. I'll just have to remember not to have Dash skip straight to morning.

nnn--nnn-stuff-letters, that sounds about right given what the changelings have been going through so far. Not that I'm really a part of your process here.

 

Also, I thought we might take a look at some of the head-cannon we've established about ponies so far:

 

-No computing

-Stoves, which are apparently gas-fired

-Yet Equestria has very little urban development compared to first-world Earth countries

-Ponies are 'not as free with their feelings' as humans

-Ponies cry easily

-Ponies fall in love easily

-Ponies expect 'the stallion to pay for the mare'

-Ponies expect both parents to share household responsibilities equally, such as in the raising of a child

-Changelings are...fo-shizzle kind of stuff

-Ponies wear clothes primarily for special occasions

-Ponies feel naked without hair coats

-Ponies don't notice being naked without hair coats

-Ponies have trouble adapting to a bi-pedal body

-Ponies have no trouble adapting to a bi-pedal body

-Ponies are confused by 'shiny' technological objects

-Ponies have little trouble with shiny objects but are primarily confused by elevators and Google
