  2. Planned Inactivity or Leaving?

    in Chit Chat

    Posted

    I am indefinitely and irrevocably leaving the site for a minimum of a few months - 's certain areas. What do I mean? I will, as best as possible, strive away from using chat or any different areas than RP forums.

    I will cease any kinds of activity here excluding the roleplaying area. I'm not going to give this one up yet, because it's simply too much fun. If you will want something from OC's/Cast I play, send me a PM.

    It was a pleasure knowing all of you. First and foremost Aria, if not her I'd never probably stay on this site. There are countless people I'd like to mention, some of whom are not even on this site anymore. Be sure though, that if I have interacted with you at least once, you can trust that you're a valuable person to me. I'll just try to mention a few most important people.

    Autumn/Manestream - I think the reason is far too obvious here. The site itself. Although there are dozens of smaller ones as well.

    Phil the Time Wizard - insanely patient to all my ramblings and question, really helpful. Great listener. I really valued his advices.

    Conor Colton - being nearly as persistent and patient as Phil successfully earned him a place in here. These two were the most dependable people I've met on the site.

    Rosewind - always kind and positive. Guarding the community nearly with her life. A person you could really depend on.

    Flutterscotch - I loved any kinds of interaction with Scotchie in the Jar~, positive, realistic with an approach towards life which I completely understood. EVEN if she had her oddities ^^

    Starswirl the Bearded - a great mate to have both a meaningless conversation and more intellectual one as well. Also really helpful in whatever issue you've had.

    SteelEagle/Riverhippo - two people I couldn't really separate. Where was Steel, there was River. I really had a lot of fun roleplaying or even only talking with them.

    QuickLime - even though we weren't getting along, she's working hard to keep the site clean and suitable to all audiences. And she's always willing to help if you have any kinds of questions.

    Diomedes/Helix - I barely had chance to talk with them, but even that little piece of conversation has proven to me that they're fantastic people.

    Elderflower/Jane - even though I knew you both so short, I already know I'm going to regret I didn't have an occasion to get to know you better. I wish you two great fun in the forums/

    LoopEnd and all the artists - I still cannot express my gratitude about how much I liked that request you did for me. More than that, I believe any artist whom ever at least tried his strengths with MLP deserves a mention here.

    Everyone from Old LPW crew (people will know who I mean) - you were responsible for giving me a chance to become more open towards people, and that's what I did. Each one of you was, and remains, a fantastic man.

    Everyone from Chatroom - the very fact I attended chat room so often was solely your fault. People there were always positive and silly. With certain doses of seriousness when situation required this.

    All the roleplayers I've ever roleplayed with - for giving me a chance to create my own, surrealistic stories in the world of MLP:FiM. Without you, this site would never be the same nor the site it is now.

    Finally, every single MLP fan out there - for forming such a great community and not fearing to truly love things you want to love, despite the situation or what happens.

    I won't say everything was always smooth and beautiful. I had a few issues, I disagreed with a lot of opinions. But in general I've enjoyed nearly every second of my stay.

    It's been a pleasure knowing all of you for so long. Hope you all keep enjoying the site.

    Goodbye.

  4. Abandon your Chairs.

    in Last Post Wins (formerly Spam Stables)

    Posted

    I have decided not to be completely cruel. We all do know that chairs are nothing but mere attempts of assuring comfort. They deceive the users, attract them, and then force them to sit in unnatural positions what causes severe spine injuries in long term.

    It is obvious that any kinds of couches, sofas, beds or stools are far more superior, since they do not provide... fake and harmful... "Support", as they're trying to convince us.

    Yet, I am not a monster. I am willing to hear out any lies the chairs have filled others' minds with and at least attempt to lead them in right direction. I shall give them chance to cease and repent, for they do now know what foul powers possessed them.

  5. (Outside Ponyville) Daringcon General (Open)

    in Greater Equestria

    Posted

    [colour=#9933cc]"Oh... dear... Celestia..."[/colour] - of all the decisions she picked today, calling a guard was one of the WORST she could have obviously made. It was somewhat funny how fast he appeared, but he explained he was guarding the entrance to the nearest archaeological panel, the one she had just left, and heard somepony calling for security. What happened next? Well, he arrived at the place, noticed the chaos and all the mess and... Rising Star, standing in the middle of it, with nopony else around. Pink mare at first stared at him blankly, but after taking a look around she quickly realized the position she had found herself in. She was taken into temporary custody despite of her protests and explanations. She didn't know how much time she spent trying to put her innocence in security's heads, it might have been minutes, it could have taken half an hour. What she did know is that her questioning contained 4 facehooves, 3 sighs, 5 rhetorical questions spawned from pure disbelief and countless groans of resignation. Even the fact that she belonged to staff wasn't able to pierce their stubborn minds...

    After she FINALLY managed to convince them that she was just yet another, incidental pony passing through, they released her and the guard, who initially captured her, escorted her back at the panel entrance, apologizing for the inconvenience. He led her inside and once again positioned himself near the entry to the hall. Her little case caused the panel to be unguarded for a short amount of time, but did it truly matter? She didn't even see a reason for him to be guarding that spot. Was he supposed to catch 'villains'? Or perhaps he was ordered to disallow certain ponies inside? The very idea of it was ridiculous. Nevertheless, what Star was certain of is that she wasted a lot of time and her nerves were stretched thin right now. Thankfully, she found her equipment still standing by the wall, just where she had left it.

    The panel itself seemed to be already in progress... It wasn't surprising at all. Seeing how Doctor Merlot was presumably late to it, he was most probably anxious to get it going and catch up with the schedule. It was as if Star had forgotten his reasons for a moment after the 'interrogation'. From her position in the corner at the far end of the room she could clearly see the stand along with his silhouette. She snapped a few photos before frowning and leaning from behind her camera. After a moment of hesitation, she packed her things up and moved alongside the right wall to set up in a place from which she could photograph attendees and at once listen to the panel itself. As she reached the right side of the room, she lost her balance and tripped, nearly falling on her knees. After a brave fight to regain her stance, she stopped and covered her face with a hoof, breathing heavily. [colour=#9933cc]"It was supposed to be a normal job for pony's sake!"[/colour] - this day wasn't going the way she had planned. It would take some time for her to regain her composure.

  6. First Annual EQGirlsCon! //Closed Registered Guests only

    That was the whole issue with Aloe. No matter who you were, no matter what happened, no matter how hard you tried... you just couldn't be upset with her. That is, of course, if we considered things from Lotus' perspective. Her sister seemed to be in quite a good mood today. It was somewhat understandable. She barely could remember when they had a chance to spend some time together herself.
    ​

    [colour=#ff66ff]"[/colour][colour=#3399ff]W[/colour][colour=#ff66ff]ell if you're sleep is for beauty then you should be awake at all hours of the day. And please, I'd never leave you out of anything. Which is why I waited right here for you to get here. I couldn't possibly enjoy this fully without you here with me."[/colour]

    The response was followed by a quick kiss on the cheek, a simple example of sisterly affection, which Lotus gladly accepted. [colour=#3399ff]"[/colour][colour=#ff66ff]T[/colour][colour=#3399ff]hat would explain why you're ALWAYS awake before I am! Well played sis', well played indeed."[/colour] - a nod and a frown implying defeat accompanied these words. In fact... something was amiss here. It took Lotus a short moment to connect certain events of the past with current situation. She took a precautionary, theatrical step backwards while throwing her sister a suspicious stare. [colour=#3399ff]"[/colour][colour=#ff66ff]Y[/colour][colour=#3399ff]ou're so sweet today that I fear you might be trying to pull something on me again!"[/colour] - this was said in jokingly manner of course, and whole scene's point was just to make them both laugh. What Lotus cheerfully did afterwards.

    Aloe then proceeded with explaining who's attending the convention. In the very moment she heard the names, Lotus' eyes became as large as plates while her face expressed complete blankness. [colour=#3399ff]"[/colour][colour=#ff66ff]W[/colour][colour=#3399ff]ait... Did you... You've said that..."[/colour] - cerulean mare couldn't formulate a correct sentence. She gulped and tried once more - [colour=#3399ff]"[/colour][colour=#ff66ff]Y[/colour][colour=#3399ff]ou said... said... that convention is honored with... with... MISS RARITY'S PRESENCE!?"[/colour] - she nearly jumped after emphasizing her last words. Of course, the fact that Princesses were here was impressive as well. But let's face the facts, Lotus was an Earth Pony and it was a funny connection to the fact how she kept both her hooves on the ground. She knew Princesses were out there somewhere, she knew they were wonderful rulers and probably great ponies themselves. But at once, she never had a chance of meeting one, meanwhile Rarity was somepony she appreciated, since she probably was her favorite customer. [colour=#3399ff]"[/colour][colour=#ff66ff]O[/colour][colour=#3399ff]ooh it's been so long since I had a chance of chatting with her! Come on...!"[/colour] - Lotus passed her sister and turned back, grabbing Aloe's front hoof with both of her own and trying to walk backwards in order to pull her along - [colour=#3399ff]"[/colour][colour=#ff66ff]W[/colour][colour=#3399ff]e need to find her and say hello! Pleaaaaseee?"[/colour]

  9. Equestria Girls on Canterlot?

    in Roleplay Q&A

    Posted

    Personally I'm not interested in EQG RP at all. So I'll just vote accordingly to reflect my thoughts: No.

    As for section... well, since I'm not particularly interested, I don't dive into details myself. Of course, the only drawback for community I see would be that some people might want to lower the amount of MLP:FIM roleplay threads in order to be able to maintain additional EQG threads. So yeah, I see a potential situation in which MLP:FIM RP forums might became a tiny-moderately bit slower/less populated (depending on the community demand).

    Still, apart from that there's no harm in doing it I guess. Although not sure if it would require whole subforum... Question is: Is the site dedicated to MLP: FiM or EQG? Because one does not equal another.

  12. [Ponyville Day Spa]Ponyville's Spring and Summer Spectacular![ATTN: Lotus, Open]

    in Greater Equestria

    Posted

    nfny92.jpg

    The accent of her current customer was pounding against Lotus' ears. It was so heavy... in fact, her own accent could never match the one that peculiar mare possessed. Given the current situation with that armored stallion from before, it wouldn't be much to cause cerulean mare to suffer from headaches. Though in reality, it would take much more to break her mood once she had gotten into her element. She listened the story patiently as they've went past the large tub filled with water saturated with various minerals. As Lotus led the pony into a secluded, separate room decorated with various plants and stones which were supposed to resemble natural hot springs, Ballad inquired about the previous 'incident' which had taken place. Miss Blossom had to bit her tongue in order not to say something she'd regret in an instant. Especially that she noticed that hidden implication of her damaging the door in anger at once...

    [colour=#3399ff]"[/colour][colour=#ff99ff]O[/colour][colour=#3399ff]h..."[/colour] - she stopped in front of the spring and turned around to face the customer. No matter what had happened, she didn't want to hurt her own reputation, nor the reputation of that stallion anymore. Not after what she had overheard in the sauna. That proved to be quite hard though, and she didn't have time to come up with a story on her own... - [colour=#3399ff]"[/colour][colour=#ff99ff]W[/colour][colour=#3399ff]ell... it turns out not all ponies are fine customers who know how to respect others and behave in public places. There was a little incident which involved third side in there, which was responsible for the door damage. Please do not bother yourself with this."[/colour] - she explained calmly before approaching one of the walls and opening one of the lockers, cleverly hidden as a part of the wall. [colour=#3399ff]"[/colour][colour=#ff99ff]T[/colour][colour=#3399ff]hese here are hermetic, so feel free to place anything of value, clothing or different items inside, to make sure steam doesn't damage them."[/colour] - if one looked a bit closer, he'd see that there's actually a row of similar lockers next to this one. Inside of the opened one was a bathrobe, two towels and a few basic cosmetics. Lotus trotted aside, heading towards the doors. There were different issues which required her attention, even though she was more than anxious to hearing more about different parts of Equestria... [colour=#3399ff]"[/colour][colour=#ff99ff]P[/colour][colour=#3399ff]ardon me, but I must take my leave. We're experiencing quite an unusual amount of customers this morning, I hope you do understand. Take your time and relax. It's quite satisfying to know that our spa was recommended by somepony. Feel free to tell your friend that he, or she, may drop in again whenever they want! Hopefully, I'll find some time to drop in and check on you soon."[/colour] - once again, Lotus really wanted to learn who this friend was... but duties called.

    She trotted out, gently closing the doors behind. As Lotus emerged from behind the tub again, she spotted her sister servicing that crystal mare from earlier and, afterwards, taking care of Miss Hooves. It took all of her strong will not to burst out in laughter after hearing the "cucumber" part. She wouldn't expect ANY less from Miss Hooves in fact. Not saying a word and simply throwing a conniving glance at Aloe, twin sister made her way towards the sauna. It was highest time to check on their first customers. She wouldn't like them to boil inside now, would she?

    As she trotted towards the sauna doors, she risked a glimpse from afar into the waiting room. She could have sworn there were more ponies than earlier, though she couldn't see precisely who were the new customers waiting. It certainly was going to be a busy day. Mare grabbed the door handle with her teeth, smiling to herself in mind. More customers meant more prosperity. It couldn't be bad in the end. As she pulled the doors, a cloud of steam burst out. She looked at it precariously. It seemed to be a bit... too much of it coming out. But she wasn't even there to regulate its flow this time, how was this possible? Lotus trotted inside with concern closing the doors behind, allowing the steam to settle on her coat and mane slowly. [colour=#3399ff]"[/colour][colour=#ff99ff]H[/colour][colour=#3399ff]ello again."[/colour] - she started hesitantly, throwing a smile and a prolonged wink - [colour=#3399ff]"[/colour][colour=#ff99ff]I[/colour][colour=#3399ff]s everything all right? Would you like me to add a bit more steam?"[/colour] - as if the amount wasn't surprisingly high already ... - [colour=#3399ff]"[/colour][colour=#ff99ff]O[/colour][colour=#3399ff]r perhaps you'd like to try different services? You may also decide to finish your visit anytime as well, although..."[/colour] - she attempted to look as if she was addressing each one of them individually. There was not a sign of earlier anger in her anymore, quite the opposite. Lotus behaved as if she was possessed by the most friendly ghost one would ever have chance to encounter. [colour=#3399ff]"[/colour][colour=#ff99ff]I[/colour][colour=#3399ff]'m glad to see you've managed to locate the towels. And I'm sorry I couldn't have come earlier, we're dealing with a bit more customers at once than we've expected we would."[/colour] - she made an apologetic face before taking a step back and checking the temperature on the thermometer positioned on the wall. It was at least 4 degrees too high. Of course, it wasn't doing any harm, it was a sauna after all, but still she'd have to fix this later on. [colour=#3399ff]"[/colour][colour=#ff99ff]T[/colour][colour=#3399ff]he choice is yours of course."[/colour]

    2ltrl00.jpg

    [colour=#9966ff]"[/colour][colour=#ff66cc]A[/colour][colour=#9966ff] [/colour][colour=#9966ff]subtle, rare sound of a hoof hitting the occasional stone echoed between the walls of Ponyville. The town was honored to guest nopony else but one of, if not the greatest, Equestria's supermodels, Fleur de Lis~"[/colour] - she liked the sound of these words, referring to herself with implication of not being the greatest was so... humble! She also adored this refreshing morning, with sun already shining on the horizon and fresh air reaching her nostrils. But what she didn't enjoy was yesterday's return trip from Fillydelphia and the night she had spent here. First the train which was supposed to take her back to Canterlot came late. Upon its arrival (finally), she discovered that the first class snacks did not have strawberries at all! It was simply unimaginable. Due to delay, she was forced to spend a night in this town named "Ponyville". And Celestia be her witness, it didn't have a single, quality, comfortable hotel to stay at, what forced her to sleep in some kind of inn... HER. Fleur of Canterlot! Outrageous! She'd surely exchange a word with her agents as soon as she'd reach the royal city. Of that they could be sure...

    Still, she was stuck here for few hours before the first train to Canterlot would leave. And last thing she wanted to do was to stay at this... despicable inn even a minute longer than it was required. At least the ponies there were conscious enough to appreciate her stay and tried rendering it as pleasant as possible. Even though they've failed, Fleur knew how to appreciate an act made in good faith. That's why she paid twice the price for renting. Still, after such a horrible day and night she felt extremely exhausted. As she gracefully trotted between the buildings, she could hear occasional whispers and see ponies pointing at her. It wasn't a nuisance, it wasn't anything outstanding. Just a regular daily basis in supermodel reality. All of her luggage was waiting for her at the train station already, but she had no idea how would she spend this excess of *free* time yet.

    Few minutes and an autograph later she stumbled across something that sparked her curiosity. [colour=#9966cc]"[/colour][colour=#ff66cc]O[/colour][colour=#9966cc]h my..."[/colour]

    ​

    [colour=#ff66ff]"Ponyville's Spring and Summer Spectacular! All treatments and products at fifty-percent their normal price!"[/colour]
    ​

    Fleur was throwing a bit confused stare at the banner. Just what was that in front of her? Products and ... treatments? Was it possible that it was a... [colour=#9966cc]"[/colour][colour=#ff66cc]A[/colour][colour=#9966cc] spa, n'est-ce pas?"[/colour] - she allowed a rhetorical question to slip before steadily making her way towards an entrance. Whoever owned the place, was lucky that she didn't manage to spot the damaged doors, otherwise she'd probably turn away in an instant. As she took a step inside, her horn nearly poked the doorbell hanging above her. [colour=#9966cc]"[/colour][colour=#ff66cc]M[/colour][colour=#9966cc]MMMmmm..."[/colour] - a hum of appreciation indicated that although the interior wasn't as rich as most Canterlot spas, it still met her positive reception. It had its own, unique elegance. And both uniqueness AND elegance were what Fleur understood perfectly~ After making her first judgment and deciding she may risk staying here, snow-white mare noticed other customers waiting. Her face became a mask of sheer surprise. She had never yet seen a waiting line in a spa. It took her seconds to shift the blame for that on Ponyville itself. She couldn't expect Canterlot service quality here, could she? [colour=#9966cc]"[/colour][colour=#ff66cc]E[/colour][colour=#9966cc]xcusez-moi, may any of you endearing ponies or you mighty griffon enlighten me? What kind of institution have I just honored with my presence?"[/colour] - her voice was as usual prepossessing, adult and mysterious. Another thing she was proud of and loved about herself.

  15. Curiosity: Hatred

    in Last Post Wins (formerly Spam Stables)

    Posted

    I) All of the above.

    I mainly follow A and B of course, since I am the only reliable source of learning about something and deciding if I should hate it.

    As for C, it's quite rare for me. I think it applies only to foreign kitchen I guess xD I'd NEVER believe I'd be able to eat ants or insects or stuff xD

    D, yeah. I follow this sometimes if it's an opinion coming from somebody far more experienced in the matter than I am. Otherwise I just shrug their words off and remain neutral unless I try.

    E, I guess that's something I don't agree with actually. Perhaps maybe to some extend. If people condemn something massively, I assume they must have had a reason. Though I don't think I'd join them that easily, unless my mind was already negatively set about the idea/thing they condemn.

    F: Skyrim. 'nuff said.

    G: This is a river topic. Not gonna give examples, but happens quite often. Society is a weird thing to follow.

    H: ... ... ... that doesn't count into "All of the above."

  20. First Annual EQGirlsCon! //Closed Registered Guests only

    in Greater Equestria

    Posted

    [colour=#9933cc]~~Rising Star~~[/colour]

    [colour=#9933cc]"Eat something, eat something..."[/colour] - the words echoed in her mind like some kind of mystical chant. It seemed as if it was the last resort for her somehow, as if she couldn't do anything else. In fact, being alone in here made her somewhat lock herself up inside. Star never attended anything similar. She yet had to take a grip at herself in order to enjoy the marecon. She was heading towards the snack table, taking a closer look at her badge. Quite a funny coincidence it was, since the badge actually went pretty well with the colour of her mane. Least it wasn't flashy or anything. More then that, she hated those plain, white badges she sometimes received when her skills were required in some minor, official events. They always reminded her of the "I don't care." attitude, something she couldn't stand.

    The mare at the desk earlier seemed quite... well, fine in fact. There was no reason for Star to believe that she'd have or cause any issues here. Perhaps it was just the fact that her mind was busy with thoughts concerning Imperio. She had to leave her "little" birdy on his own again. And she was doing this far too often actually, to a point in which she was slowly starting to regret it. Meanwhile, pinkish mare managed to reach the table... and quickly became mildly overwhelmed by its contents. There was so much food and so many various snacks that she didn't even know where to start. Perhaps "Eat something." wasn't actually the best idea to start with... ...[colour=#9933cc]"Although pouring myself some tea wouldn't hurt."[/colour] - she thought to herself as her eyes landed at the tea station. And she precisely knew what kind of tea she needed right now.

    Even before reaching the table, one of the teacups started levitating as she poured herself some liquid from afar using her magic. Actually, she didn't even manage to reach the table at all, as she met with the said cup halfway and quickly took a sip of delicious chamomile tea. A blissful smile appeared on her face. It was a perfect solution to calm her nerves. [colour=#9933cc]"Now, let's see if I can actually recognize anypony in here..." [/colour]- tall photographer took a look around the hall. There were so many faces she didn't know. Truth to be told for a good minute she couldn't spot anypony familiar at all. That is, until she fished out a mane she could have sworn she saw somewhere already. It took her a second more to realize that it belonged to... [colour=#9933cc]"Princess Cadence!?"[/colour] - her teapot shivered in air, spilling a bit of tea. Showing an extraordinary consciousness of mind, given the situation, Star raised her hoof, evading the hot liquid. [colour=#9933cc]"Oh dear..."[/colour] - she quickly used her magic again, reaching for a napkin and wiping the stain off the floor. It was a shocking experience for Risi to discover presence of a Princess. Especially that she didn't bring any cameras today on purpose, a thing she couldn't forgive herself right now. Without even noticing this, she swallowed the whole tea in one long gulp. It would really be better for this tea to start working soon.

    ​

    nfny92.jpg

    [colour=#3399ff]"[/colour][colour=#ff66ff]A[/colour][colour=#3399ff]h, wonderful!"[/colour] - least that was taken care of. Though Lotus was still wondering who else would they share room with? She severely doubted that there were twos. Besides, it would be actually pretty fun to be able to chat with somepony else as well. Even though she did that on a regular basis anyway... Cerulean mare accepted the badge, throwing it a closer look. She didn't expect to receive one in the first place, but perhaps it really was a bit of convenience. Although... she believed she'll still have to introduce herself to anypony she doesn't know anyway. Lotus shrugged mentally and pinned it to her spa collar, an element of clothing she rarely ever parted with. [colour=#3399ff]"[/colour][colour=#ff66ff]T[/colour][colour=#3399ff]hank you I sure will!"[/colour] - she threw in quick response and proceeded inside.

    Thankfully, she didn't have to search for her twin. It turned out she was actually waiting for her already. As soon as Lotus was spotted, Aloe approached her and wrapped a hoof around her neck.

    ​

    [colour=#ff66ff]"[/colour][colour=#3399ff]H[/colour][colour=#ff66ff]ello! Are you ready to be on the receiving end on one of our treatments for a change? Thankfully your habit of oversleeping doesn't have any negative effects today."[/colour]

    [colour=#3399ff]"[/colour][colour=#ff66ff]H[/colour][colour=#3399ff]a. Ha. Very funny sis'."[/colour] - it was a fake laughter anypony would recognize, and the sarcasm could be felt from afar. Of course, she knew it was all just jokes. It was too typical for them. [colour=#3399ff]"[/colour][colour=#ff66ff]I[/colour][colour=#3399ff] already thought you left me out! Of all the mares around you should be the one to know I actually DO need my beauty sleep."[/colour] - she continued, pretending superiority and faking a superior, elite pony accent. Still she couldn't hold it, as the fact that she was actually attending an official event with her sister made her smile widely. The receiving end, huh? [colour=#3399ff]"[/colour][colour=#ff66ff]I [/colour][colour=#3399ff]guess I am! Although, I still need to talk to like... everypony! You know I'd never miss a chance to listen to some gossip! So, like, who's around?"[/colour] - she asked 'Loey while trying to fish some familiar faces in the crowd.

    I used to listen to this even when I didn't know English language good enough to understand it. Years later, I am still fond of these two albums. I also understand the lyrics at last, and I find them simply amazing. These hold a meaning, something what a long of today's songs lacks.

    No matter what happens, these two simply can't get out of my head. Plus, they hit a right string. "I've kept everything inside but even though I've tried, it all fell apart."

    Even though today I appreciate different artists more than LP, I doubt I'll ever resign from listening to these albums.

  22. Planned Inactivity or Leaving?

    I don't care! I am going to live in denial, believing that Scotchie in The Jar is just temporarily away. For the sake of my own sanity.

    For real now.

    I'd wish you good luck, but I am more than certain you won't need it. You'll just collar the life and take what you need~

    We miss chu already ._.

  23. [Trottingham] Three Lakes Café is now serving! [CLOSED until I get things sorted out :P ]

    A fierce storm of conflicting thoughts kept rampaging in Lotus' mind. Her mind was absorbed with one of the greatest issues she had encountered this week. Just a few more minutes, and she'd probably be driven insane. Should she order Mocha or Vanilla Latte!? [colour=#3399ff]"[/colour][colour=#ff99ff]A[/colour][colour=#3399ff]RGH" [/colour]- truth to be told, Lotus experienced these kind if dilemmas on a daily basis. In end, she'd finally pick decision, but sometimes it required time for an idea to mature. Her inner, epic battle had to be postponed though, since reality called for her once more. In fact, it was somewhat impressive upon realizing that all these thoughts flashed through her mind in a blink of an eye, since Stormwing didn't wait a second to answer her question.
    ​

    [colour=#008080]"Trottingham is a great city - it's a bit big, but I grew up in Cloudsdale so it's what I'm used to, and ponies here are quite friendly. For a town whose main industry is tourism and wineries, it's still got a feeling of friendly familiarity and community. Mostly due, of course, to Latte here. She and the mayor work extra hard to make this city as welcoming as it is. Also, it's filled to the brim with good looking ponies, mares and stallions alike, which is always a plus."[/colour]

    Cerulean mare stuck her wide eyes in stallion's, listening in slight disbelief to what he's saying. She was unconsciously tapping her hoof on the table to some kind of rhythm which echoed somewhere in the depths of her mind. Was it possible that Trottingham changed so much since the days of her youth? It was the more unsettling that these days weren't actually that long ago. Or maybe it was just her? On second thought, she might have been a bit biased, seeing how she disliked big cities. She couldn't recall if she ever had any unpleasant incidents with Trottingham's inhabitants. Perhaps one day she'd eventually admit that she's just being biased, but today was not this day yet. Before she managed to answer though Stormwing was served his sandwich. After that the proprietor left to attend somepony else, while Lotus heard another voice reaching her ears from a table nearby.
    ​

    [colour=#daa520]“I’m willing t’bet they all followed ya here, these two, Glasses, and Overalls included!"[/colour]

    Spa mare turned around to locate the pony to whom the words belonged. To her surprise, it was that 'energetic' mare from before.
    ​

    [colour=#daa520]"I wouldn’t be s’prised if all o’ Trottingham didn’t want trot right in right after you – seems like these boys were the only ones with th’guts t’do it though! The name’s Riff Run, by the way – but you can call me Birdy! Friends call me Birdy!"[/colour]

    At first Lotus was stoned with these words, to a point in which she even stopped her subconscious hoof movements. It took a moment for the meaning of these words to reach her fully, after which she half-chuckled, half-laughed at the other mare. [colour=#3399ff]"[/colour][colour=#ff99ff]I[/colour][colour=#3399ff] believe that if they additionally heard that there's a mare with such a deep, vibrant voice, they'd swarm the place forcing us both to seek shelter!"[/colour] - at this point, Lotus already know that agreeing to pay this place a visit was a great idea in itself. However wrong her opinion about Trottingham could be, this small cafe was an island in the sea of boredom and stone halls. [colour=#3399ff]"[/colour][colour=#ff99ff]F[/colour][colour=#3399ff]eel free to call me Lotus."[/colour] - it is well known that smiling speeds up appearance of wrinkles. At this rate, she'd look much, much older after leaving this place. That comment nearly made her laugh from ear to ear.
    ​

    [colour=#8b4513]"If that be the case then, love, I need to get you in 'ere more often. It'll certainly be good for business. Wot's your name then, love? You seem a mite familiar to me but I can't quite place ye."[/colour]

    The familiar voice returned once more after a moment, barely managing to draw her attention. Lotus calmed herself down a bit before proceeding with what already seemed to be a ritual. [colour=#6699ff]"[/colour][colour=#ff99ff]I[/colour][colour=#3399ff]t's Lotus. Although I'm not sure if we've ever met in person..."[/colour] - cerulean mare threw a quick, apologizing stare followed by a dedicated smile at the Pegasus stallion sitting in front of her - [colour=#6699ff]"[/colour][colour=#ff99ff]...s[/colour][colour=#3399ff]ince I've moved out from Trottingham along with my sister some time ago in order to open our own business elsewhere." [/colour]She could have probably pulled this little game a bit longer, but eventually she resigned from this idea, deciding that there'll be a lot more to discuss yet.
    ​

    [colour=#b22222]"Are you lot just passing through here then? Can't say that I've seen any of you around before."[/colour]

    [colour=#008080]"I've been around a few years now, myself. Of course Latte here is the definition of a local."[/colour]

    That, on the other hoof, surprised Lotus. She believed that Stormwing was a local after what he said and how he behaved. Discovery that she was wrong wiped the smile of her face, replacing it with sheer puzzlement. She leaned forward, turning her head to the side what caused her to look at him in profile and pointing a hoof towards him from the height of her chest. [colour=#6699ff]"[/colour][colour=#ff99ff]W[/colour][colour=#3399ff]ait, so you're not a local yourself? Really?"[/colour] - it was unbelievable how hastily she judged him. It was so embarrassing that for a moment she wished to reverse time. At this point, Lotus already stopped paying attention to any newcomers appearing inside. She was too absorbed in conversations she partook in. Still, one more thing came to her mind suddenly. Young mare turned towards Latte and spoke in a bit unsure voice - [colour=#3399ff]"[/colour][colour=#ff99ff]U[/colour][colour=#3399ff]m, excuse me, could I order Vanilla Latte please?"[/colour] - yes, that certainly was a good choice. She was more than certain of that - [colour=#3399ff]"[/colour][colour=#ff99ff]O[/colour][colour=#3399ff]r actually scratch that, let it be Cafe Mocha."[/colour] - Well, maybe she was just a tiny bit wrong, after all - [colour=#3399ff]"[/colour][colour=#ff99ff]Y[/colour][colour=#3399ff]ou know what, in end I'll go with Hazelnut Latte. Definitely."[/colour] - deep inside Lotus' mind, a part of her sanity packed the cases, put on a stylish hat and left, leaving a note that it went for vacation and shall not be searched for. It would return eventually.
    ​

    EDIT: Any ponies currently not interacting with Lotus are asked to refrain themselves from doing so until I clarify current situation. Thank you for your understanding.

  24. [Ponyville Day Spa]Ponyville's Spring and Summer Spectacular![ATTN: Lotus, Open]

    in Greater Equestria

    It was really nice to see a customer actually behave himself in public. The stallion she asked to wait didn't say a word of complaint, in fact, it was obvious he completely understands the situation in which the spa sisters found themselves. Of course, not like it was a rarity, but Lotus remembered some customers who were simply so full of themselves that they couldn't understand that oh how so simple idea. [colour=#3399ff]"[/colour][colour=#ff99ff]I [/colour][colour=#3399ff]cannot split!"[/colour] - was what she used to say when they've stepped on their hooves. Of course, it was a bit ironic that she had a twin sibling... kinda ruined the effect.

    Knowing that Aloe would handle anypony no worse, if not better, than Lotus would, cerulean mare focused her attention on her current customer. As soon as the mare spoke, Lotus nearly got knocked out by her heavy accent. It was simply impossible to mistake it, that mare simply *HAD TO* come from far east of Equestria. Spa pony didn't know what to think of this day anymore. [colour=#3399ff]"[/colour][colour=#ff99ff]G[/colour][colour=#3399ff]riffin from west, crystal pony from far north, that mare from far east and, on top of that, REA. Either I'm still asleep and it's a dream, either ... I don't know anymore."[/colour] It was a bit stressing, to be honest. Their typical guests usually were Ponyville inhabitants. Were they really able to keep up to those new, unique customers expectations? The seed of doubt has been sown, but spa mare wasn't going to let it get the better of her.

    ​

    [colour=#ff8c00]"I vill...go vith the...hot spr-ing. How much vill it be?"[/colour]

    Actually, that was a good question. Oh, of course, there was a set price of 15 bits for a hot spring. It's just that for some time already Lotus had a little reevaluation of the prices in mind. Perhaps she'd inform Aloe about this after the Spring & Summer spectacular ended. But as for now, everything was crystal clear. [colour=#3399ff]"[/colour][colour=#ff99ff]T[/colour][colour=#3399ff]his week, it'll be only 7 bits. Real occasion, don't you think?"[/colour] - she inquired with a smile, tilting her head slightly - [colour=#3399ff]"[/colour][colour=#ff99ff]B[/colour][colour=#3399ff]ut, of course, all payments are usually made at the end of your visit. We make sure to satisfy our customers' needs, that's why we offer a refund in case our services wouldn't meet your expectations."[/colour] - truth to be said, there was only one such incident so far. A stain on Lotus' perfect career. But she really disliked talking about it... Especially if Aloe was around. Cerulean mare turned around and, still observing her customer, once more started making her way through that short gap connecting the waiting room with the actual spa. [colour=#3399ff]"[/colour][colour=#ff99ff]P[/colour][colour=#3399ff]lease, follow me. I must say I'm really struck by your peculiar accent. What brings a foreigner to our lovely town?"[/colour] - she wouldn't be herself if she didn't ask. Besides, there was nothing worse than trotting in silence while making her way through the spa. It even looked odd, she'd risk stating.
