Conor Colton

*Shudders*

I don't really think Hasbro's refusing to acknowledge the bronies; I was watching a stream about the upcoming brony documentary with John de Lancie and Lauren Faust was guest speaker, I can't quote her exactly but I'm pretty certain she mentioned about talking to Hasbro executives and saying that they're very much in favor of bronies...or like and acknowledge them to some degree. But then again, yeah, at the core of it they are a business and business' and since their key demographic is little girls I can see why they feel the need to release so many DVDs for just two seasons...but yeah, it does seem a bit much with this whole untapped potential of the fandom Then again I haven't really looked into the DVD situation much, given that I still haven't found any over here -.- So I still might be off on a few details but it does look like they've dropped the ball.

This thread needs some Twilight sock-ness...What that's not a word? Sparkle Sparkle Sparkle!

Colton's eyes and ears perked up as Fleet seemed to bring the conversation back into a positive light. He was rather amazed that she could veer a conversation in such a cheery direction after such a serious subject matter. He shrugged it off however and smiled before responding to her question. "The flight suits? Ah, they're great. It's to be expected since we're sponsored but a clothing company but...Wow. Very aerodynamic as well, you'd be surprised. On the ground you can feel that you're wearing a uniform but when you're up in the air it feels like it's not even there!" He exclaimed excitedly as he returned to his cheery demeanor. He tilted his head slight at Fleet's last statement, he wondered for a second exactly what she could be talking about but he couldn't come to a solid conclusion as to what it could be. So he simply nodded and replied, "Well...I'm pretty much ready now...I say we head out." He replied eagerly before leaving a few bits on the tray that came with their 'shakes.

I don't know what else to say!

This Day Aria!

((...It is? )) Colton was rather disorientated by what just happened, Crescent was there one second, and gone the next. He knew what he had to do and was admittedly, a tad nervous, given that this situation had just been put in his care. He didn't want to look incapable though, otherwise who knows what could go wrong...So he nodded to Crescent as he left before turning back to the rest of the group. He decided he should introduce to these two new ponies, Cosmopolitan and Snap Shot. He extended a friendly hoof to the both. "Hi, nice too meet you both, I'm Colton...Or Kicks as these guys say it." He stated as he stood back, realizing he had no idea what was going on or where he was going next, he was in a sort of haze from his fast and rude awakening this morning. "So, where do we start then?" He asked the group, Cosmo and Snap in particular.

Colton began speaking more seriously as well. He dipped his head down slightly before responding. "You envy me? Huh...what irony...I can understand the whole family thing but...well, you're famous. I mean the 'Blades have some notoriety but we'll never be as big as the 'Bolts, not by a long shot." Colton led into before putting one of his front hooves over the other on the table. "And trust me...I don't think you should be envious over the whole family thing. Don't get me wrong, I love my fiance, with all my heart but...there's always that anxiety, y'know?" Colton added before leaning back in his chair and sighing. "But...I guess that's a given at this point..." He led into before smiling, "And I could be in a lot worse situations." He said jokingly before chuckling, "I'm probably just being dumb about the whole thing...I should be ecstatic about having a family!" He finished with a wide grin.

Colton Cloudkicker, Right Wing of the Aeroblades...was in a bit of a rush. He had a late night and as a result, had involuntarily slept in for the big Aeroblades interviews today. He flew as fast as his wings could carry him, narrowly dodging a few buildings as well as some ponies. The pegasus was in such a hurry that he wasn't accompanied by his pet sparrow Sparks on this occasion. The pegasus skidded against the floor, managing to get into the last piece of his uniform as he reached his intended destination. He took a moment to compose himself, took a deep breath, and entered. Almost instantly he spotted some familiar ponies, he sighed contently and trotted over, "Hey guys...I'm not late, am I?" He asked a tad sheepishly.

Seems like fun Hmm... First Frame: "Ha! That's just a colander with Heart's Warming lights!" Second Frame: "This YOUR mascara, Rarity?" Secret, but fun frame: "Hey! I'm on next!"

Colton smiled as Starflower asked that question in particular. "Well...For the moment...yes. I'm staying at this one inn for now but, to answer your question better, no I don't like closeby." He waited for a reaction before explaining. "You see...I don't live anywhere, really. I'm a traveller, an adventurer somepony might call it. Ever since I was old enough to go out on my own, me and Sparks have been going all across Equestria. And..." Colton led into before taking out a journal from his saddlebags. "We keep it all in this little journal." He stated before gently placing it on the table and opening to a random page. "All of it's in there..." He finished with a grin.

Yeah, I can see where you're coming from... But like Weesh and I said...if he refuses to listen then make it VERY clear to him about you feeling uncomfortable...Like don't take any other answer other than that he'll be more careful next time for your sake. But you do love him a lot and if he feels the same way then I'm sure it could be worked out...Long distance relationships are still relationships and they need a mutual understanding and respect to work. Don't know if this advice is actually helping but there it is regardless.

Well...this is a problem... And don't feel bad about 'dumping' your problems here...It is a community f relatively friendly people so you have nothing to worry about. Sorry to hear that you're in such a bad position right now, and the only thing I really can offer is advice so...here goes. If you like this guy, great, fantastic. But if he's making you feel uncomfortable in anyway, you need to tell him off about it. You said he's helped to boost your confidence so use that confidence to set...well...not boundaries per say, just lay down a line that he knows he shouldn't cross or he'll just make you uncomfortable and you obviously don't like that. And if you're dad doesn't approve right now, I'm sure he'll come around eventually. I very much doubt he's doing this strictly out of spite for you or him, he's a parent after all so he probably doesn't want you getting hurt with this sort of long distance relationship. If he is doing this out of spite then just forget about him, 'cause if a parent acts like that then they wouldn't be worth the bother. But, above all else...Just do what makes you happy I guess...If he makes you feel uncomfortable at times then tell him and don't accept any other argument or get pushed over, if you have a problem with it, voice it. If he cares about you then he'll take it in a mature and orderly manner...That's all I can really say... Hope it helped somewhat.

Colton nodded along, listening carefully to Fleet's answer. He could empathise quite a bit, not soo much with the not doing well in crowds but the training. Colton also finished his shake and put it to one side before replying. "No no, it's fine...I asked for the Wonderbolts and that's what I got." Colton stated with a smile as he nudged Sparks to see it he was alive. The bird twitched so Colton felt at ease about that anyway. "I think I got a good picture now." Colton led into before thinking for a second and continuing, "Makes me wonder if us 'Blades'll ever hit the high time like that, the adoring fans, amazing parties..." Colton wondered for a second before continuing. "If that were to ever happen though...Imagine the time it would take out of my life...Hardly enough to have a family..." He thought aloud before turning back to Fleet, "Well...you seem to manage alright so I guess I could too." He finished with a grin.

Sparks rolled over very slowly to rest on his bulging gut, he exhaled heavily before going back to his normal shape but remaining face down on the table. Colton cracked a smile at the bird's antics and turned back to continues his conversation with Fleet. He almost immedietly had had an answer since he was soo sure of his next statement, "Crescent's doing really good actually, given the circumstances of course...I feel like he's still sort of learning but he's doing good as he is. And if something does go wrong then the team seems dedicated enough to help him through it...We're all in unfamiliar territory and we'll basically only get through it together." He replied with yet another sip, then something crossed his mind. "Hmm...since you've asked me soo much about the 'Blades...If you wouldn't mind me asking...What's it like being a Wonderbolt? Is it really as glamorous as I hear?" He asked with a grin, taking another sip.

Colton thought more about the prospect of a 'Bolts and 'Blades meetup...Was it even possible? How would it be done? When? Where? These questions continued to buzz about in his mind as he failed to notice Fleet staring right at him, so her 'sorry' was a bit lost on him. However it did get him listening. He thought about her question, he remembered the younger filly from the recent meetup and recalled all he could about her. "She's getting along great. She is defiently a lot faster than she looks, seriously. And the guys were very encouraging towards her so that's good to see too...Again, Crescent picked a great bunch...And I really didn't want to sound smug by saying that but I think it's too late to take it back." He chuckled as he took a sip of his 'shake, smiling contently. Sparks pondered Fleet's proposal for a second. The bird never really ate any fruit outside of blueberries; the bird could hardly get enough of the stuff. But admittedly, the bird wasn't against trying new things. He took a deep breath and sucked up small amount of Fleet's 'shake. The problem for him being that he had drank a small 'pony' amount. Sparks smiled before dropping to the table with a slightly bloated belly. "...I think he likes it." Colton remarked with another sip.

"Blueberry, thank you." Colton responded to the waiter as the pony walked off to fetch their respective drinks. Colton smiled at Fleet's sly comment on the Wonderbolts, "They are awesome alright...Perhaps the 'Blades and the 'Bolts should meet up sometime...Y'know...besides this meetup, happening right now." He chuckled. As they waited, Colton took the time to observe the cafe. It was simple, elegant and of course...very cloudy. He had wondered why he had never stopped in here before. He chalked it up to that this was just a place he had failed to notice before, similar to Fleet's manor. When Sparks was unexpectedly nuzzled by Fleet his eyes opened in an instant. He looked around for a bit, wondering what was going on. After he realized who had in fact nuzzled him, he hovered in front of Fleet's cheek and nuzzled back. Colton then spoke again. "Hmm...'Bolts and 'Blades...not a bad idea, you think?"

Colton followed and sat down at the opposite side of the table, he looked over the menu, wondering why since he already knew what he was getting. He of course, decided on his earlier decision of blueberry. He listened once again to Fleet, chuckling about her statement regarding the Wonderbolts, "Well I don't know about that...We're good but we're not that good." He stated with a smile. "Sorry to hear that. Though I'm sure you're still doing alright...I mean you could probably still beat me in a race no problem." He started off whilst setting Sparks down on the table, the bird propping down on a napkin comfortably. "And you're lucky...There has been practically training everyday now...Only a few hours mind you but, not entirely used to it...Which would explain why my wings are soo sore lately." He finished as he stretched his wings out slightly.

"Thanks, Fleet. Means a lot, really. And that is understandable." He stated as he nodded in understanding at her last statement. He flew with her, ready to make any sudden movements since he had literally no idea where he was being led. When the two of them reached their destination Colton continued following. He thought to bring up a topic of discussion but Fleet beat him to the punch. He listened carefully before responding, trying to hear Fleet over the hustle and bustle of the pegasi filled city. "Crescent's doing good. He seems to be really happy that the team's coming together as it is, must have been a huge dream of the guy's...In which case, good for him." He stated with a smile before going onto the rest of the team, "And the rest of them...Nicest bunch you'll ever meet, seriously. Crescent really did pick them out well...and everypony seems to be getting along so that's good too."

Colton followed as Fleet lead into the kitchen, admiring how pristine it was. He came to two conclusions as to why that would be in his mind, the first one being that she had incredibly good help or she must have had a lot of time on her hooves recently. Given her apparent fame, Colton wondered which sounded more realistic. As he drifted off on this thought he was broken out of it by Fleet's exclamation of a nearby place where they could get something blueberry. The pegasus would have just compromised and asked for water instead but Fleet seemed very excited about this. As he followed, keeping relatively quiet, Fleet asked about Colton's engagement. He had a feeling he never told her about it. "Her name's Quantum Flux, she's a scientist...We met in Canterlot about a year ago...spent a lot of time together and...when we were on vacation not too long ago and I popped the question." He stated with a smile. "That's why I applied for the Aeroblades...we get a steady income...and we get to see the world..." He ended, still smiling. It was after that that Colton pointed towards a piece of string around his neck. The string had been looped through a ring which was now proudly dandling like a pedant around his neck.

Colton followed the mare inside, smiling as he went. He wasn't sure if Fleet was always this excitable since he had only met her once before and in that situation she was supposed to be a professional judge, "Wow...she much have been really bored." Colton thought as he continued to follow, admiring the décor as Sparks buzzed around his head. He responded to Fleet when she mentioned her injury, "Ah...sorry to hear that, Fleet...both the injury and the boredom thing..." He considered whether he should have a drink or not, he responded with a slight smile, glad to see that Fleet could let her hair down...Both figuratively and literally and it seemed that Colton arrived just in time to relieve her boredom, the pegasus didn't really mind since he too, was bored out of his mind. "Uh...Have anything with blueberry in it?" Colton asked as Sparks' attention was immedietly drawn to the two ponies' conversation, the little guy was a fan of blueberry to put it lightly. "And life with the 'Blades is defiently good, Fleet. Got to meet the entire team for the first time when we were getting our suits fitted...It can be a demanding job...considering all the practise and travelling but, pay's good so I can't really complain...I mean when you're close to starting a family you take all you can get." He stated, trying to remember if he had mentioned his engagement to Fleet before.

Colton was rather startled by the sudden appearance of Fleetfoot right in his face. His eyes widened before he jumped back, letting out a small, "Gah!" as he nearly tripped over his own hooves. He composed himself though, he tilted his head to see if he could recognize the pony. He was a tad confused since he only ever saw her in uniform and with much different hair. However it clicked in his mind rather quickly, Sparks...not soo much since he remained firmly inside Colton's mane. "Fleetfoot! Good to see you too." He said before tilting his head to see Sparks cowering in his hair, "...Sparks...it's just Fleetfoot." The sparrow quickly made the connection as well, he darted out of Colton's hair and right infront of Fleet's face, waving bashfully before giving her a slight hug. Sparks had remembered how nice she was in keeping him company when Colton was trying out for the Aeroblades. "This your place, Fleet?...Wow..." He stated before really taking in the real magnitude of his surroundings. "So...how you been? Me and Sparks were just having a walk around Cloudsdale and thought we'd stop in...we're not intruding, are we?" He asked with a hint of sheepishness.

Colton Cloudkicker, Right Wing of the Aeroblades, more informally known as Kicks was trotting through Cloudsdale with his avian companion, Sparks the sparrow. The two of them luckily had a day off from Aeroblades practise and as a result, were going to enjoy the sights of Cloudsdale whilst they had the chance. The two of them walked next to none other than the cloudy manor of Fleetfoot of the Wonderbolts. The two of them stopped for a brief respite of their search for anything interesting, resting nonchalantly against the manor's walls. "Ugh...I dunno, Sparks...we've been here too many times...we've seen all of Cloudsdale more than once over!" He stated in frustration, referring to his travelling days. "Hmm...well...this manor looks new actually...Where'd this come from...?" Colton asked to the bird before reading the sign next to the front gate. "...The Manor...of...Fleetfoot...of the Wonderbolts...Hey! I remember Fleetfoot! She was at the Aeroblades try-outs!" Colton stated excitedly...However he wasn't sure if barging in was the right idea. So instead he walked cautiously up the pathway to the house. "...Wonder if she's in..." Colton wondered as he approached the front door.

Hmm...possibly. I have two OC's. Colton who Fleetfoot already knows and Darkest Dawn...new OC I've started using that has never ran into your characters. I was thinking since Colton is in the Aeroblades and Fleetfoot is in the Wonderbolts it'd be cool for them to talk about what's going on in each of their sort of groups For Darkest Dawn...I got nothing Unless Fleetfoot has a sudden interest in astrology, I don't see much
