  1. "A cupid in pony form?" Sky's eyes brightened, as the introverted and somewhat day-dreamy stallion came to a rare state of full and sharp attention. "I'm sure you must have seen quite a few sweet stories in your time. Be happy to swap sappy love stories, if you're interested; it's one of the subjects I love writing songs about!" Not to mention, he always loved to tell the story about how he and Windy met, though he couldn't remember if it was his turn or her turn to buttonhole perfect strangers with their love story. "A local tour would be great, too." He nodded in agreement with Windy, beginning to clean off his plate and drain his cup of tea. "I actually know a thing or two about crystals, at least the kind they use for sound synthesis and resonance. It's gotten a lot easier for me to build my instruments since the crystal trade opened up between the Empire and Equestria. It's everything else about your hometown that you'll have to point out."
  2. It was indeed a rare day that Shining Armor was the last to wake up of his family; oftentimes habit alone had him up at reville, sometimes he even did a personal troop inspection at turnout if he was up early enough to dress for it. But, last night had been a bit tiring with paperwork and other matters, and just by coincidence that happened to be the day that Flurry was so excited to wake up. The stallion stirred amidst the sheets, at first groggily concerned about the empty bed, though smells of varying degrees of appetizingness from the kitchen was enough to clue him in of what was likely going on. The burnt toast left by the bedside, too. *So my little Fluffalump is starting her lessons today with cooking?* Rather incautiously, he took a bite of the charcoaled bread; in Shiny's defense, he hadn't had his coffee yet. *Ech... probably best used as grill fuel for later.* He was a good enough dad, though, to refrain from commenting once he heard the returning footsteps of his daughter. Sitting up, he smiled at Flurry Heart as he slipped out of bed, running a hoof through his mane to smooth it down. "Ah, good morning Flurry! Excited for today?"
  3. Hello and welcome! Friendly neighborhood admin here. Feel free to ask questions about getting started with RP, or if you just want to chat.
  4. Kahz chuckled at the reaction provoked, stealing another kiss on Yù's cheek. "Same, I have to say~ But just like that, it wouldn't do to push you if its really too far out of your comfort zone. I just think both are things everyone should be able to enjoy, you know?" Allusions to the parallel would finish out the meal to the check and breathmints, though an evening of sake and song was Kahz' idea of a good time; if Yù wanted to join him on stage. "The Karaoke bar's in the back; we can do a duet if you're not comfortable alone... otherwise, got any requests for me?"
  5. Was it possible to escape one's past? Many ponies throughout history seemed to think so, though the ones that made it into the history books self-evidently failed to truly do so. You'd have to go fast, stay hidden, and not live long enough for it to catch. Spoiled Rich didn't count any of those three things among her future ambitions, so perhaps Niilaavin had a point there. At least, though, she could leave her name behind, perhaps her species as well. That begged the idea of what it was like to actually be a sphinx. And given that she had a wealth of knowledge that she was literally resting upon... "I'd like to know more of your ways. As a sphinx, how do you see the world differently than most ponies? And, if I may ask, what was it about me that reminded me so much of your own kind?" She chuckled at that, "No doubt that last would be a mere recitation of my best features, but I can tell you right now, young cat, there is no female of any species that will not enjoy that!"
  6. Spoiled listen to Niil's lament for lost times with more attention and sympathy than most would have thought her capable of. It must really be love between them, and she trusted that Cadence herself would assent. "I won't lie, there's a part of me that wants to say that there's a bright side in being able to make a clean break... but I'm not yet sitting on the opposite end of an unbridgeable gulf between myself and my past." She may well be about to leap across it, though, if the fortune-teller's words and previews meant anything. The thought was less pleasant than the sound of her new name and title in her mouth. "RaSha Jizara... I won't lie, it sounds even better than Mayor Rich. A much more prestigious position. It may be a while before I'm able to convince other people to use it for me, though. Perhaps, if that alchemist ever figures out that transformation..." She left off, not wanting to cruelly raise an unfulfillable hope.
  7. Hello, just as a note, for moderated RP zones, such as World of Equestria or A New Generation, we don't allow more than the canon alicorns in character apps. That includes backstory NPC's.
  8. Okay... now Tarot's behavior was really starting to get on Spoiled's nerves. Unreasonable overcharges, tasteless laughing, and as for this little 'on the house show'... The mayor watched through the whole thing with a flat expression, giving the the fortune-teller mare a look that would have pickled a ripe watermelon. "I don't know what that was all about; it had the air of something our resident princess would contrive to persuade a pony to change their ways, though I'm hanged if I can tell what that was supposed to show me, except that perhaps I'm making the right decision." It seemed that she wasn't in the mood to be rebuked from her current course of action right now, and this whole experience was just the sort of thing that would motivate some retaliatory red tape in giving the license Tarot had just signed for. Petty, perhaps, but mares in this town had to realize just what consquences upcharging city officials just because you thought they could afford it would being! Nevertheless, she did not lose her temper, just becoming frostily polite as she took her leave. Which, as Tarot might be able to tell, meant that nerves had been struck for Spoiled. "In any case, it was so delightful to welcome you back to town once again, madame. I trust that your future enterprise here will meet with the success that it deserves."
  9. Spoiled ears were by no means so sensitive as a sphinx's, but Niil had put enough emphasis on the difference in tone and pronunciation for her to know that Rasha and RaSha were not the same thing. The latter, closer, and more intimate, seemed to warm her even against the cooler air of higher altitudes and latitudes. "I don't know if what I hear or feel is your heart, or the pounding of my own. It's been so long since anyone made me feel like this." She smiled back, unafraid of his crescent eyes and sharpened teeth. This sphinx, this large loving cat... was presenting himself as hers, in a way, giving himself in such a way that she couldn't help but reciprocate, regardless of what bounds or bonds it broke. She snorted a bit at the first suggestion of a name. "Niilrasha is the sort of thing the tabloids call couples. Not that I expect we'll be able to prevent that..." If she did end up moving out with him to the frontier, though, it was unlikely the paparazzi would follow them. Though she suspected the big cat had his own ways of discouraging hangers-on! "Jizara..." She rolled the name on her tongue like a rich floral tea. It was certainly a regal sounding name, and she was touched by the act of affection it represented. "You are... a long way from your birth family, aren't you?" She'd known about him being encased in stone for millennia, but the full weight of what that would actually mean was only now starting to be made clear to her. "It's a lovely name, and I would be proud to bear it." Not the only thing she would be proud to bear, if she was being honest, but that would have to wait to see if she could receive a new body to go with her sphinx name.
  10. It was true enough, perhaps, that Spoiled's decision was pre-made. And really, what was the talk about hardships supposed to do? What did Tarot think her life had now, if not the hardships of scarcely existent family? Perhaps this source of discontent is why the mirror may not have left the intended impression upon Mayor Rich's mind. What she saw there was a magnificent beast, a matriarch of many, any of which could and one of which would grow up to be the queen that Diamond Tiara didn't seem to want to be. The attempted lesson only made her sigh wistfully, and reinforce her convictions. "Having more is one of the reasons I desire this change. Filthy certainly won't give me any more foals..." Sweeping the curtain back down with her hooves, she stared the fortune teller dead in those glowing green eyes. And they were glowing, of that she was certain now! "Extortion," She said, cooly, "As well as price discrimination, are valid reasons to revoke a business license."
  11. "Another name? Hm..." Spoiled lapsed into silence for a while at the suggestion. It wasn't as if she hadn't considered the matter, but in her experience, it was often hard to get a name one chose for oneself to stick, if everypony already knew you by a former name. And if she was being honest with herself, one of the reasons she'd been so quick to marry Filthy Rich in the first place was to have an easily-acceptable way to change the context of her name. "What name would you think best suits me, say, in your own language?" She did have to blush at Niilaavin's compliment, and by this point, she was far distant enough from her old life and anypony who knew of it that she felt more comfortable opening up. "Charmer~ Well, if you want to know what I really think, I think you're a handsome but rather impertinent young male trying to court a married mare... and doing a most excellent job of it, I must say." She had to be open with herself first of all about what was going on. This was a tryst, an affair; even if the intimacy did not go beyond emotional it was outside the bounds of monogamous practice. But as she'd had little enough of it within said bounds... well. Niil had been sharp enough to sport the opportunity, and Spoiled was now more than willing to indulge.
  12. It was quite true what Tarot was saying. Spoiled Rich wanted to choose her family to fit her ambitions. She had always wanted that; her driving ambition took pride of place in her heart. It wasn't that she didn't love, or at least hadn't loved, Filthy and Diamond, but what she most wanted to get them was a place beside her once she reached a position equal to her self-estimation. Failing that, she had at least wanted to push Diamond Tiara up to the top of society. But when her daughter spurned her ambitions for her... She wanted another. And there was only one way now she could get what she wanted. The sphinx on the card didn't even rouse her suspicion; for all she knew that was a regular part of the deck. "A trade of all one has... for all one could ever want." Spoiled looked up at the ceiling thoughtfully, before saying, "I'm trying to find the catch, but I'm not seeing it. It's just an expensive but profitable trade." Thus a mare decided to toss her origins and prior life aside. The mere suggestion that her parents could share in some prophetic powers elicited only a snort from her. "I hardly think my destiny lies in their expectations. Had they shown a little more faith and affection, perhaps I would have been more content in their world." She stood up, frowning thoughtfully. "Well, no need to rush, I suppose... but if I do what I want, I'm not sure they would ever understand, no matter what I say or how I behave when they visit."
