Lux

Played all three Bioshocks and Infinite was a great addition. The graphics were amazing, the game flow was good, and the storyline though strange at the end was good too.

Didn't know they planned a DLC back in Rapture, but I'll definitely get that. Film Noir and Bioshock? Yes please!

To the red unicorn, Spirit seemed to doubt her knowledge of fashion. Granted Fire Heart knew that ponies typically didn't wear clothes except either for extreme weather conditions or for fancy occasions. Still at least the unicorn knew about fabrics where the red older filly was lost in the process of making clothing other than seeing a dress in a store and thinking it was nice.

Fire Heart chuckled when Moondancer told the story of how she transformed the massive stone statue into one looking like Nightmare Moon.

[colour=#ff0000]"Really? That was you? Wow. I remember when that happened, how I was in that park during the day but then at Nightmare Night the statue changed, but I didn't think you did that. Then again I didn't know you much except when you came over to oversee the practice room."[/colour]

Moondancer asked about pranks to which Fire Heart thought for a few minutes until a memory appeared that made her smile.

[colour=#ff0000]"Well, there was one prank that I did. A pony on my floor was having a birthday party and invited everypony on the floor to join in on the fun. Every time she tried to blow out the candles though on her cake I would relight them. She kept trying several times until she realized what I was doing. That was a fun party." [/colour]

Apparently, Spirit didn't understand pulling a prank which Fire tried to explain.

[colour=#ff0000]"Well Spirit, a prank is like a joke that you do to another pony. It's harmless of course but just to tease another. Err... maybe Moon can explain it better since she seems to make more elaborate ones." [/colour]

That actually is one of the two frequently asked questions (the other being what gender I am which I'm a guy).

My username came from the fact that when I joined here I wanted a simple name. During that time I was listening to an epic song called Lux Aeterna. Lux in Latin means Light and Lux Aeterna means Eternal Light. Well from that song I decided to call myself Lux.

Here's the song by the way...

Great, another stallion to fend off.

Another?

Good job Bellosh! Have fun with your Twicrush... I mean your guard pony.

Seeing the mare excited, Watermelon was about to head to the farm house when suddenly Honeydew asked if there were any marshmallows in the fruit salad. It was a very odd question as after all fruit typically was sweet as is. To add the fluffy concoction to the mix might make it too sweet even for a filly like Watermelon who loved sweet things. It matched her sweet personality and that she liked to think was why she liked things like fruit or candy.

[colour=#006400]"No, my mum doesn't put marshmallows in our fruit salad. Why, do you like them in there? If so, we may have them in the house." [/colour]

I'm not sure if she abducted them permanently, I think she merely took them for some fun among the clouds (hence the Children of the Night).

The music and storyline is good and the animation is top notch. I think this is one of the best fan videos I've seen in a while.

Guiding Light only turned around for a moment to see that there were several of his classmates gone! At first he thought they went home or somewhere else, but then seeing everypony looking out into the woods, he knew that they went into there. He knew that he had to help find them. After all they were his fellow classmates.

Light then heard the adult griffon named Razor tell the other kids that he intended to find Apple Bloom and Glimmer.

[colour=#daa520]"The Everfree Forest is dark, even in the daylight," [/colour]he said to the griffon, [colour=#daa520]"I can use my light magic to help us see in the dark."[/colour]

To prove his use to the party, the yellow colt's horn glowed and a ball of glowing yellow light emerged and hovered a foot above him, illuminating the entryway of the woods.

Hello. If you notice to the left of the yellow Smily Face (Emoticons) above where you type your text, there is is an icon that looks like an orange letter A with four colours. Clicking on that will give you a selection of several colour options.

Heart Healer wondered what the "things" were in Cinnabar's life that interfered with her ability to raise money for an apartment. Granted she did seem to buy things on a whim, especially concerning dates. Yet she let the matter slide when it came to her discussion about romance. The pony appeared ready for a special somepony and actively sought one, but she was not seeing any results.

[colour=#800080]"It seems that you are interested in searching for a special somepony as you appear to be actively looking for one. I would caution sending too many reminders to said stallion or his friends as that can be seen as an act of desperation. Worse yet, some stallions may see it as too much of a control issue when trying to manage dates like one would manage appointments. What I am interested in is how you approach a stallion that you are interested in. so let's do a little role playing. I want you to imagine me as the stallion that you're interested in and say what you would normally say when first meeting one, ok?" [/colour]

Hello. Your friendly neighborhood Helpstaffer here. You have a really interesting pony there living among the forest. However your mentioning the ability for plants to restore magic is not accepted as we have no indication from the show how alchemy works and whether plants have any magical properties. You will also need to eliminte the reference to seeing an old talking tree as there are no trees like that in Equestria.

Instead of finding the tree, you can say that perhaps he began to experiment with plants and found that his destiny lay with his seeking of medicinal properties with the plants.

[colour=#006400]"Well alright then," [/colour]Apple Cinnamon said as she chuckled watching her sister bound out the door. The mare guessed that her sister had seen some parts of town but not everything. The town of Appleoosa was at first glance unassuming but deep down it was very much alive.

[colour=#006400]"Well ah' guess ah'll be the tour guide fer this trip. As you probably seen, Appleoosa is pretty much one big street. That's where all the places to eat an' shop an' other things are. There are other streets too, but those are mainly fer houses like mine. At the one end on town there's the different orchards, although you probably know that already seein' as our parents own a farm there. Now do you know why the main street is so wide?" [/colour]

1) Nightmare moon is returning. She claims in the clip "to want to be the only princess". This is the eye-opener, there is something we are so missing to have gentle Luna go all crazy again!

From what I gather (and this is speculation until the true episode is released) is Twilight is taken back to a time when she witnesses Luna becoming Nightmare Moon. Twilight asks where Luna and Celestia went and Luna replies "do you expect me to stand idly by while they all bask in your precious light?" She then says that "there can be only one Princess in Equestria, and that is me," before transforming into Nightmare Moon. Luna is referring to Celestia here since Twilight can't move the sun. Also, we haven't seen anything to say that Luna is still jealous of Celestia or even Twilight.

This makes me think of Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets where Harry is taken back in time to see an event. Maybe Twilight gets accidentally whisked back to when Nightmare Moon rose to power?

Just my two bits.

I have an older filly named Fire Heart who is a unicorn that can create fire magic and lives in Canterlot (See my Log area below my Avatar for more information)

If interested please PM (Private Messenger) me and we'll set something up.

Sweet Surprise could see the awkwardness on Donut Joe's face after complimenting him. She felt like despite her confidence and her flirty behavior, she was getting nowhere. Casually she tried to change tactics.

[colour=#a52a2a]"The red hots are three bits a bag, but if you buy two you get one three free. So, besides baking, what else do you like to do?" [/colour]

If you could change one thing about MLP (add, edit or delete) what if anything would you change?

With the issue cleared up about her friends, Cinnabar felt clear to tell Heart Healer about her attempts to find a place to stay and finding a special somepony. It looked like she was a pony that liked to spend on a whim, something that didn't work well with her goal.

[colour=#800080]"With your goal to find a house, have you been saving some of your money. I'm not a financial adviser but if you put away a little at a time you'll get closer to your goal. As for a special somepony, it does take time to find an ideal match. How many ponies have you actually tried to meet? Also are you looking for a certain type of pony?" [/colour]

Watermelon Gush looked up at the mare than upwards at the towering city of Canterlot in the distance than back at the mare. She didn't know how peace was suspicious or why it related to Canterlot. She thought that somehow this mare talking to her had some strange superstition about perhaps the Princesses. Granted they were mysterious and powerful but a conspiracy? She couldn't say.

At the sound of Honeydew's stomach growling and the way she hugged the melon like she was afraid it would somehow roll away, Watermelon got an idea.

[colour=#006400]"Hey if you're hungry, I have some of my mum's leftover fruit salad at the house. Want me to get some for you?" [/colour]

I have been putting off making this official or communicating it for a while (mostly because I really didn't want this to be the case and certainly didn't want it to be official) but I will be leaving Canterlot indefinitely. Figured I should post in this thread since I've gotten some PMs about my recent disappearance/the cast characters I played being made available. Real life is kicking my butt and unfortunately I have to turn away from my activity on Canterlot and online in general. I'm very sorry about the impact this has on various threads, and would like to apologize once more to staff since I will be taking my leave after so recently being made a helpstaffer - before I could even really get into the swing of things.

I'll still be around on skype every now and again so I won't be completely out of touch, mind - and I will definitely want to return when/if I'm able. I want to use this post, too, to say that you folks on Canterlot are pretty darn phenomenal, and I'm glad I've gotten to know so many of you! As a creature raised on the internet, I've been a part of many different communities and this is the first one I've ever felt really connected to. It's a warm, fun environment and it's all thanks to you fine fans of ponydom!

EDIT: I'm aware I still owe people art, and that will come in time! Sorry for the wait.

Sorry to hear that you are leaving. You are an awesome RPer and I had fun in the threads you were in. You were also great as a Helpstaff too. Hopefully one day when things calm down you can come back.

Fire Heart nodded her head in understanding of what Spirit. Some ponies had other talents or hobbies and the red unicorn assumed that perhaps that Spirit shared such hobby.

[colour=#ff0000]"Well, I'm not really skilled with fashion either, but you are at least ahead of me with that because you read something. I really haven't had the time to read up on fashion."[/colour]

Fire Heart knew the Clover Park well. It was a place where she liked to go to study or at least enjoy some fresh air after spending some time indoors with classes. What she marveled at was the Clover the Clever statue, dedicated to a unicorn so long ago who was a student of the famous Starswirl the Bearded. Some ponies seemed to be in the right circumstances to achieve great things. Fire Heart only could wish that she had that happen to her one day.

[colour=#ff0000]"Actually I didn't hear about it. What happened Moon?"[/colour]

Heart Healer was surprised at the sudden display of emotion that Cinnabar exhibited towards her comment. Granted Heart had seen outbursts like this before in her sessions. Some ponies cried when they exposed their darkest fears and dreams to her while others got angry. It was what the psychologist knew as catharsis, the purging of one's emotions that were bottled up inside.

[colour=#800080]"Please don't misunderstand me Miss Star. I never said that your friends were bossy towards you, and I'm certainly not meaning to offend them. But I was wondering about whether the way they live influenced your decisions. It's a subtle persuasion, like when a pony wears a scarf and you are persuaded to buy it because you think it is nice. But I can see that you are interested in moving out, finding a special somepony, and starting a family for your sake which I find is a very good thing. Are you actively looking to find an apartment or a special somepony or are there any obstacles that are preventing you from achieving these goals?"[/colour]

Watermelon Gush stared at the mare with a look of confusion. How could living in a peaceful town be unsettling? Unless of course the mare was used to the conditions of not being in peace. The fact that she reported on strange sightings and event made the filly realize that it was no wonder that the pony felt an unease.

[colour=#006400]"Well, yeah, Solstice Heights is pretty peaceful. I don't think there are many problems here, and even little issues get fixed easily. Maybe it's because we're close to Canterlot. I don't know. I don't see why being in peace is a problem though." [/colour]

Carrot Top quickly sped through the aisles, her basket precariously placed on her back. Occasionally she would stop and pick up a jar of something or a loaf of bread, things that she believe she needed at home while at the same time keeping in mind the minimum number of items to get the coveted jam. She then headed towards the sharpening section and picked up her gardening tools which were now removed of any rust, sharpened in the areas that mattered and cleaned to a mirror finish.

[colour=#ff8c00]"Wow, I can eat off these they're so clean," [/colour]she said with a giggle as she paid the sharpener and stuffed the tools in her saddlebags.

After her whirlwind tour of the market, she stopped just before checking out to make a mental list of the things she bought.

[colour=#ff8c00]"Ok Hayseed, I think I have everything. Is there anything you need to get before we get in line?"[/colour]

The pony picture is impressive. I can't wait to see this character's story!

Ok, I have to ask. Where did you get that comic in your signature Autumn?

At first Sweet Surprise wondered if the effects of the potion were working like they should. She felt better about herself no doubt, although she couldn't put her hoo on the specifics. She also clearly was more open and flirty towards Donut Joe. Yet the stallion at the time didn't seem to notice which made Sweet wonder how effective the Love Chocolate Experiment as she named it actually worked.

Yet to her surprise Donut Joe did seem to notice that she was being flirty towards him. His response, however, was not what she expected. He first mentioned how many bags of red hots he needed and then referenced her mane. Yet it was the second part that although was the strangest thing to Sweet under the effects of her love potion sounded like the kindest compliment.

[colour=#8b4513]"Really, you like my mane," [/colour]she said with the girly squeal of a schoolyard filly, [colour=#8b4513]"Oh thank you. Your mane is quite handsome too."[/colour]
