Blueblood Posted October 9, 2014 Report Share Posted October 9, 2014 Well, with Nightmare Night coming up, I thought I'd come up with an appropriately atmospheric thread idea, and I have an appropriately themed character that will just fit the bill.The basic idea is this: Mister Glass, as he is known, has a reputation, even among his fellow illusionists, for being a lover of the esoteric and enigmatic. But lately, as Nightmare Night draws closer, there have been hints of something larger in his shows, perhaps something more sinister, even as they grow more impressive...But what is really going on behind all this smoke and Mirrors? That is what you, the investigators, have to find out! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lux Posted October 9, 2014 Report Share Posted October 9, 2014 If you are ok with younger ponies participating in this thread, then I have a character in mind, Guiding Light. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blueblood Posted October 9, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 9, 2014 Hm, that may slightly affect my plans for how it all turns out, but I don't mind at all having him be on the thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrazyScion Posted October 9, 2014 Report Share Posted October 9, 2014 If you want an investigator, then I can volunteer Quickshot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PyroBlaze Posted October 9, 2014 Report Share Posted October 9, 2014 Well, I don't have any actual investigators, but I'd volunteer any of my characters... actually, Flora wouldn't work well, I don't think...Anyways, I'd be willing to use any of my characters, if there's a place for any of them.

Blueblood Posted October 10, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 10, 2014 I should probably say, any character that would be intrigued at a mysteriously hinted-at show, and curious to find out more afterward about its main star will be welcome.

PyroBlaze Posted October 10, 2014 Report Share Posted October 10, 2014 Alright. Just have to figure out who I'm going to use then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DerpRavener Posted October 10, 2014 Report Share Posted October 10, 2014 Naj has a natural (and possibly dangerous) curiosity for this sort of thing. Unless people are tired of seeing her, I'd like to put her into into this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lux Posted October 10, 2014 Report Share Posted October 10, 2014 Oh, you're interested in somepony more mystery oriented? Well, how about Night Watcher? She is part of the Lunar Guard and as such is skilled in finding the truth and in protecting ponies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blueblood Posted October 10, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 10, 2014 Whatever you think would be most interesting; I'd like a sort of rag-tag team-up myself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PyroBlaze Posted October 10, 2014 Report Share Posted October 10, 2014 I'm going for Flux. She seems like a good choice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blueblood Posted October 13, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 13, 2014 And the thread is live!I'm going to try an experiment as regards to pacing this thread; each of my posts will give you a clue, and a mystery. As you interact with yourselves (and, when you find him, with Mr. Glass), you can bring up possible explanations, and if they are clever enough, I'll post with the next step. I know that it's frustrating to try to read the mind of a GM, so I'll keep my own ideas in my back pocket, and let you try your hand at reconstructing the puzzle.The quicker you can get to a satisfactory answer, of course, the faster you will progress. If you're really stumped, let me know and I'll drop you a hint. Just a warning, though, the longer you take, the more time Mr. Glass gets to do as he likes, which may well be far from what you like...The first mystery, if you didn't catch it, is what the poster mean by 'The Tower of Eyes.' The name is also a clue, but what could it symbolize? I'll leave that to you, gumshoes! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blueblood Posted October 14, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 14, 2014 Hm, I like these suggestions! They're even better than what I had in mind originally. I'd post the next step now, though I should like to give Crazy Scion the opportunity to come into this thread first. Keep in mind, I'll accept investigators coming in at later stages as well.

Ciraxis Posted October 14, 2014 Report Share Posted October 14, 2014 Now would be a wonderful time. I will work for the post right away.EDIT: Aaaand done. I admit I didn't expected to finish this soon. If you wish so, I can extend this post so Squall can explain why this suggestion and not the other.

Blueblood Posted October 14, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 14, 2014 I would like to see your reasoning, yes, before I finalize my decision. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrazyScion Posted October 15, 2014 Report Share Posted October 15, 2014 Sorry I've been having some trouble getting my thoughts together. I will try to post tonight, but if I don't and it is to much of a delay, then you can move to the next step and I'll join after. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ciraxis Posted October 15, 2014 Report Share Posted October 15, 2014 Got it. Edited the post a little so Squall explains his reasoning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blueblood Posted October 15, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 15, 2014 Alright, the next step is up. I don't want to pour too much cold water on you, Ciraxis, but I found the reasoning behind the idea of it being a lighthouse a little too thin. Plus, from a pacing perspective, it was just a little too conspicuous for the first performance of Mr. Glass. I plan to have the investigation follow his "show tour," as it were, with the venues escalating in scale and spectacle.Hopefully I've left it at a good point for any other investigator to join. Also, in subsequent posts, feel free to show your methods of investigation as well as your theories, it will save me a lot of god-moding on my part to move the story along. As for the next clue? Oh, it's in there, you're just going to have to look closely for it... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blueblood Posted October 21, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 21, 2014 I've been waiting on CrazyScion, but I will try to keep the thread moving, so expect a post soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrazyScion Posted October 22, 2014 Report Share Posted October 22, 2014 I've fallen a bit to far behind on RP as of late. I got sick last Monday and only got better yesterday. I have started working on RP again, but I have a few things to do. If you wish to continue without me. I'll simply drop out. I never posted anything, so it shouldn't hurt the story. I am again sorry for the delay I caused. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blueblood Posted October 22, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 22, 2014 Oh, that's alright. Depending on how this thread turns out, I may make this a long-term "campaign" with multiple performances, so you may get another opportunity to sign on. Otherwise, good luck!

PyroBlaze Posted October 28, 2014 Report Share Posted October 28, 2014 Spring and Flux moved over to sit with Night just before the show started, Lux. It might not have been clear in my post, but I thought it was in Derp's. Oh well, you must've just overlooked that part, honest mistake. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
