Ponified Fizz... Why... /)_(\ This will be my worst nightmare... Nevertheless, feel free to take a seat in local society. Thou shall not regret thy decision. Welcome, and beware of rampaging auberginations (you'll learn in right time). Enjoy your stay in Canterlot!

Yes, of course. What my lord's trying to say... There is a certain request I'd like to ask you. Let's see... Seeing how this is the very first request I've ever made, I doubt you'll get any additional references except the application itself. I'd be most pleased to see Rising Star attending a Running of the Leaves event. I have a general depiction of this already, but it may come under discussion, I prefer cooperation rather than demands. Anyway, I was hoping you could show her in perspective, running somewhere towards the right-lower corner of the pic along the path with leaves falling around her. I always saw her physique similar to that of Fleur. Meaning, taller than others and slim at once, with those big pointy eyes. Would be nice to see her mane and tale flowing on the wind behind her, and she should be having fun while running. As for her colour scheme, there are some exact written in application, although it'd be better to follow the ones in the PCreator picture Feel free not to consider this request too important. My patience when it comes to favors I ask others to do is legendary, especially if it's only about my vanity ;D Nevertheless, if you don't want to pick on this request, I'll turn it to somebody else. No pressure at all.

I just had to reference to this you know. Perhaps it might be a bit off topic, just a tiny bit, but when I was watching the livestream it made me laugh after staring at the show without confidence. Transcript from The Crystal Empire Part 2, I mark, it's SECOND part where Twilight knows what's happening already.

There she was, standing in between the vast crowd of participants. The Running of the Leaves... It was her debut in this event, of which she had learned some time ago by accident. The very idea of the race seemed quite original, entertaining and interesting to her, therefore she decided to give it a shot. Star always adored sports, all kinds of, and running was her most beloved hobby. She was taller than other ponies after all, it made her somewhat believe it would be a crime for her not to practice this fantastic activity. Besides, it was an excellent way of keeping herself fit. Still, she was pleased to find herself in this... 'contest'. Risi was busy warming up, stretching herself and observing other participants. It's not like she cared for them, she was doing it purely for herself, fun and a tradition she didn't know, but would gladly be a part of. She felt a bit out of her element though. It lied not in her nature to take part in mass events from which she knew nopony at all. The only familiar face for her was her pet, Imperio, a stil de grain yellow Caracara sitting on her back, helping in her warm-up. She brought him to grant herself at least that tiny dose of confidence and motivation. It was somehow calming to know that there'll be someone waiting on the finish line. There was just one issue that kept pounding her mind. Although the frequency of her visits to Ponyville was quite high, her knowledge of terrains laying around it remained minimal. She found it unsettling. Gazing into the horizon somewhere above the race track she could feel the hesitation and a sting of fear piercing through her. Star gulped, feeling a single droplet of sweat appearing on her face. She could feel her expression becoming pale as she thought of possible consequences... She turned back to throw a worried stare at Imperio, but the only reaction she gained was a silent squeak, which could mean anything basically... Her inner thoughts were interrupted by an announcer though. As soon as she had heard him, Star turned towards Imperio: [colour=#6633ff]"Go already, I doubt if I'm allowed to take you with me. Wait at the finish line."[/colour] - she spoke in clean, vibrant and melodic voice, although one could feel a pinch of nervousness in it as well. As soon as the pet left, mare turned her complete attention to the announcer. As, to her horror, he spoke of the storm awaiting them somewhere out there, Risi's expression went blank. Barely remembering the race track and running in such a weather? She could only beg Celestia that the path would be well signposted. Star approached the starting line along with the others. For now, she felt her only option was to stick with the majority of group. After all, they had to know the path, right? Finally, the long awaited moment of truth approached. She took a deep breath upon hearing the most expected words: "Get ready." [colour=#6633ff]"Perhaps it won't be as bad as it looks?"[/colour] "Get set." She assumed long distance running starting pose. The silence prolonged until it finally ended with a whistle... After a few seconds, there was nothing but dust remaining in the place where she was standing. The mare was gone, along with all the other participants. Somewhere from above, a loud squeak could be heard. Imperio observed the group running away from his current position, and with his extraordinary sight he spotted Star. The pale pink mare wasn't rushing forward, rather running steadily between the other participants. With this last vision, Caracara turned and glided towards the finish line. Her adventure had began, there was no retreating now. Was she going for glory? Or for complete humiliation? Only time would tell...

That's a thing mainly people who watched S03E01/2 livestream can understand. Mainly.

Oh God, Magi & Arty, for God's sake xDDD... Magi should be happy he hasn't been sent...

I agree. I'll paraphrase ShadowMage here:

Now we know what looms beyond the borders of Equestria. It's GAK!

Anyway, although I'm really, but really not a great Twilight fan, I liked her in that episode. Though her approach to the case destroyed me in one moment. Also, Rarity has got some mad skillz!

I know right! And then there was the reprise. Though generally, won't be my favorite episode for sure. Yet, glad it finally started.

I riot. Freedom of speech is limited here, and it's an international forum after all! I demand the rights to use words I find most suitable and was taught to use DX! Therefore, Cactus. Cactus is my god and hero as long as this continues. Aubergines mean nothing to me, because I can't give them respect the way I'd want! >:l

Once again, the Royal City of Canterlot soared above the landscape. With its glimmering spires and crowded streets, it proved to be the greatest diamond in Equestria once more. Yet, one specific Pegasus didn't care about this at all. He glided slowly above the citizenry, approaching his destination. [colour=#a9a9a9]"Hm. Everything changes..."[/colour] - his armor shined in the rays of sun, eventually blinding some ponies below with sunshine reflections. Ardent's helmet was bouncing tied to his side each time he clapped his wings, allowing his thin mane to flap in the air. It was most disturbing though, as Will found himself visiting Canterlot more often than he'd like lately. Of course this itself wasn't anything he'd bother with. But it seemed as his tension amplitude with REA fell recently, what made him feel uneasy. It was just like his presence was noted, but not needed. It threw him into a little of disarray, forcing him to wonder about his past. That's why he was here in the first place again... The embassy of Aquellia loomed in front of him. It brought back memories of time he used to see that kind of architecture regularly. Will landed in front of its half-open gates and stretched his wings before allowing them to wrap themselves tightly around his body. He peered at it, wondering what he'd achieve here this time... He was a Destrier, that was a fact, but that never meant he wasn't a son at once too. His family was still out there, in the Soggalong Swamps, doing... well, whatever Celestia gave them strength to do, considering their old age. He found the embassy to be the best source of information when it came to ponies in Aquellia. What a paradox... when own 'country' cared less about the foreigners than Aquellia. Things aside though, that was probably the most favorite place in of Canterlot for Ardent to spend time in. He always had positive relationship with Griffons, he knew them nearly inside-out. After all, his youth relied on frequent contacts with them. Although lately he didn't have many occasions to meet any... Speaking of which, Will felt a slight wind breeze as one of them charged next to him. It didn't seem the griffon was paying much attention for where he was going. That is, until the gate materialized in front of him and he rammed himself into it, since they were only left ajar. Ardent observed the events with a slight confusion. [colour=#b22222]"Who dares!?!"[/colour] He couldn't help but to investigate the absurdity of this situation... [colour=#a9a9a9]"I do believe these metal bars won't ever again dare to commit any ultimate offends against you."[/colour] - he stated seriously as he approached - [colour=#a9a9a9]"You've shown them for good."[/colour] He wouldn't be normally saying that, but he noticed how well-built the griffon was. The situation simply asked itself for an appropriate commentary. Will considered extending a hoof to help him get up, but he rejected the idea. He knew how full of pride griffons could be, it would be an affront he couldn't afford in front of embassy. Therefore, he just stood there with a puzzled face.

Still asking? I'm already running. Floor, wall, ceiling, wall, floor, wall, ceiling, wall...

Conor Colton!? Must see this. Must. Just wish I could have attended to the LS one earlier. Obviously, I didn't even know about it >.>' Oh noes, the colored backgrounds again D: 'tis topic haunts me... LM's closed, that's a thing I'm sad about. It's just one of main reasons I'm here is art. And that's like, a great loss for me, since it means less good stuff appearing in the gallery. *Steps aside from Conor* Mate... I value my life... I'm not touching any daughters anymore o.o'' Also, I must admit you're doing an excellent job. At least in my personal opinion. You cannot even imagine how impossibly hard it is to gain a span of my attention towards videos like that for longer than 2-3 minutes, yet, you're pulling through. Keep up the good work.

Did that too, but true challenge was completing Dead Space 2 on Hardcore setting. It took a lot of nerves, really a lot. Not mentioning time. I think it's the most exhausting and time consuming thing I've achieved in gaming (noting how I focused on that mainly and did nothing else). Apart from that I've nearly completed Warhammer 40k series. Meaning, finished DoW campaign, 4 Winter Assault campaigns, 7 Dark Crusade campaigns and 6 out of 9 Soulstorm campaigns (took about 3-4 years because of: 1-2 map, enough for a week or two). As for multiplayer, there were plenty of satisfactory moments. The most, though, still comes from Warhammer 40k, where I've won 2vs1vs1 match (SM+SoB vs Chaos vs Tau (me)) with moderately experienced enemies. There were also countless moments in ET - TC:E (Enemy Territory - True Combat: Elite) where your lifespan when seeing enemy is around 1-2 seconds, since it's very much one shot one kill. Still, a few times staying alone vs 7 enemies (a lot of same level) and winning the game gives satisfaction. MMO's: None. Those require too much time to achieve anything.

Attention: A bit NSFW, please do open with taking this into consideration. I label it clearly, since it's public area of forums: [colour=#ff0000]A bit NSFW[/colour].

Is it hesitation I sense in you, Tales? How intriguing... Nevertheless, welcome to Canterlot! Keep confusing Tales for my entertainment. :]

Commentary... Hm, that gives me an idea. As soon as I get my PC back and running >

There's... something off with that pony we encounter here. Page! Fetch me a parchment and a feather at once! I hereby decree, the following citizen is to be put under an observation, by any means necessary. I shall not allow myself to remain uninformed of hers actions, as these could put my plans into jeopardy. I demand ears guarding her day and night, at every moment. My intuition's telling me that this particular unit will have a deep impact on this society. I ought not to leave her issue unattended. It is of greatest importance not to forget about a proper greeting. I prefer creating myself powerful allies rather than foes, even though what's a man without any foes? Undertake the necessary steps immediately. Signed: Sir Tywin Lannister, Lord of Casterly Rock, Shield of Lannisport and Warden of The West. Here. Bring that to my most trusted lords and order them to greet this newcomer at once. Now, proceed, enough delays coming from your side. The Canterlot awaits.

Seems like some people here act like programmed robots o.o' 'xcept Lord Borat.

Ah come on! I'm doing everything, EVERYTHING to avoid every single little piece of information about season 3, and suddenly I get hit with that topic name right in my face. It was impossible to dodge. So much for my good run >:l

9. Completely not bad, I thought my sight is totally broken after working so much on PC. The 3rd bar gave me some tough time, I left it knowing that something is odd there. The 4th also was annoying, but easier already.

@ River: Beforehand I've had a black description on white background with clearly visible speech marked with different colour. Right now I have no default 'white' colour what disturbs me to no limit because it forces me to search for colored speech on variously colored backgrounds. Not mentioning my mind seems to be 'allergic' on some colors as backgrounds. I don't ask you to understand why it disturbs my focus and concentration, but simply to acknowledge that the issue exists for at least one person I completely agree it proves itself useful with multiple characters, but for instance I see no point in using this form when we deal with one OC of a given user at a time.
