The Out of character thread for our rag tag group of errant adventurers as they trek across the barren frozen tundra!

If this is a sign up thread, I'd like to join, if that's okay with you.

My OC that I'd be using is the original Light Streak.

Sorry mate. It isn't a signup thread. We're already filled right now (at least, that's what I thought)

[Steel Accord 6,660]

Just to let you guys know, I rewrote the specifically "shadow pony" part. The starting point is during the wedding's after party.

 

Not unlike when we started on the ship. Rest assured, the chaos and disorder will begin in short order. (Which sounds a bit contradictory when you think about it.)

[Pripyat Pony 2,608]

I just posted Clover standing next to Steel watching the ceremony.

[Steel Accord 6,660]

Thank you! I'll PM the others and ask them to alter their posts. As we are starting an entirely new story.

Now before the plot takes off for real. Is everyone accounted for?

Be advised guys, if you have an idea, I'd preferably like you to PM me concerning it.

 

That will keep our reactions to the events real. Think of it as Enforced Method Acting.

If two or more conflict, I'll tell those involved and we can work something out.

[Steel Accord 6,660]

Everyone is doing great thus far!

 

I'm just waiting for North to respond so I know we are all on the same page.

[Steel Accord 6,660]

I need to take a poll.

 

Should I have a terminable time limit to respond before I move the story further, or wait for everypony to respond?

[Steel Accord 6,660]

Before anypony panics, no we are not dead. I would have posted the continuation already but Red's kind of put me in a hard place with his last post.

 

I can't exactly assume he's flown to the harbor when he left off knocking on AJ's door.

I need to take a poll.

 

Should I have a terminable time limit to respond before I move the story further, or wait for everypony to respond?

This still a valid poll?

If it matters:

 

I reckon you should wait for everybody to respond, but if someone takes a particularly long time, like a few days or something, then you should move the story further without their response.

Sorry I haven't posted; everypony kinda took the RP and ran with it and I got left behind! Trying to catch up now!

Don't worry about it my lady. Nothing substantial has happened yet . . . okay maybe a little something, but we still haven't technically embarked yet.

[Pripyat Pony 2,608]

Phew. Well, I posted anyway; Clover comforted Vinyl cuz somepony had to. XD

[Steel Accord 6,660]

Again guys, I apologize deeply for the stall. I've been busy with school, family, and a part-time job. I don't want to hammer out a post that's not even a paragraph long, I want to be able to properly dedicate some writing time for the story to advance.

 

I promise you all, come Monday, I will be free to update.

[Budding Night 1,043]

My friends!

 

Terribly sorry I'm not posting, I've been having a fair bit of insomnia lately and can't churn out the energy to do hardly anything at all. Thankfully, though, I've been taking something that's helping me sleep, so I'll make sure to post once the strength is back in my soul!

[Pripyat Pony 2,608]

I get insomnia too sometimes. Usually in the form of getting off to sleep properly, then later at about 2am my brain going, "Ha ha, sucka! You're not sleeping any more tonight!"

[Steel Accord 6,660]

I'm so sorry to hear that from you two. Again, I remind everypony that it's all right to request a break from the thread if you need it for personal or family reasons.

[Pripyat Pony 2,608]

This is in all likelihood the best option now.

I guess escaping would be the best option, seeing as they struggle to give this thing any more than a scratch...

 

Also, I didn't realize that I had not followed this topic before now, but now I have, so I will actually know when you post here~

I will agree to leave as well.

[Steel Accord 6,660]

Hey guys, I'm sure most of you are busy with family, shopping, and such. In acknowledgement of the impending festivities, our thread will be temporarily suspended until after New Year's.

 

Until then my friends, Happy Heart's Warming Eve. 

[Zhooves 843]

@@Steel Accord,

Happy Hearth's Warming Eve to you too~

And all of you others as well~

God jul~

Hold on their eager mcbeaver!

 

Wait for the rest of us to catch up. 

[Steel Accord 6,660]

Just a general reminder to all, we've left the hall behind.

 

Sorry to kick things ahead a bit, but I want to get us going on the main story again.

 

Current locale is the cave mentioned in the story post.

[Steel Accord 6,660]

Attention, my friends.

 

I have big news. I've moved into my first apartment and will be starting at a new school this week. However, the flight and unpacking have left me drained.

 

So I won't be posting the update today. I promise it will be up tomorrow.
