HighRoller

Nonsense! You can NEVER have too much Pinkie Pie! D:< In other news, welcome to Canterlot! You seem to already be an enthusiastic member of the community, so I'm sure you'll fit in fine. And I feel you regarding rap lyrics. I like some rap, but most of the lyrics seem vapid, materialistic, or worse.

Welcome, new denizen of Canterlot! I hope you enjoy your time here as much as I have.

Roller nodded to the princess who'd questioned him. "Yes...I've already produced a model of your niece, and Shining Armor, and soon your elder sister, as well, but I'd much prefer to do yours first. After all, your mane will allow me to experiment with some new painting techniques and Celestia's mane, um, if you'll pardon me saying so, will be rather a pain to paint by hand. I'll have to break out the detail brush for that. So many colors..." he muttered, then seemed to snap back into reality. "Oh! Um...I apologize for my, uh, untoward physical closeness, my lady. I merely wanted to examine your mane. I have a store in Canterlot called Silverhoof Games. Perhaps you'd grace my store with your presence so that you can see more of my handiwork and perhaps be a model for your miniature in person?" The unicorn tentatively offered the princess a business card, which he levitated toward her. It had a big silver horseshoe on it, with "Silverhoof Games" written over it in imitation Olde Equestrian font.

[Hi, guys...sorry for my inactivity. My new full-time job has kept me very busy. I'm glad to be back, though. ] Roller rose from his own low, courtly bow to the newcomer. "Yuki, my friend, I'm afraid you're mistaken. That truly is Princess Luna." The young stallion smiled warmly at the Princess. "In all my short years, I never thought I'd be graced with the presence of the beauteous Princess of the Night." He slowly trotted up to her, doing his best not to interrupt her examination of the artifact. "What an exquisite mane..." muttered the unicorn mostly to himself. "I wonder how one would represent such a thing with acrylics on pewter...maybe by drybrushing some sort of sparkly glaze over the regular coat...?" As he pondered these things out loud in his total geek-out mode, he seemed to forget that he was actually in the presence of royalty.

HighRoller nodded to both of the mares examining his handiwork, flattered by their shows of admiration. "I handpainted this. The hoofguards were a little tricky, but nothing I couldn't handle. The real doozies were your eyes. Their beauty was, um...hard to adequately capture. I had to use a wash- that's a thin, ink-like paint that sinks into the nooks and crannies of the model- to acchieve the lifelike look I wanted. Thank both of you ladies for your compliments." The unicorn cast his gaze around. "I have a couple more, but I don't wish to bore you ladies with them now...perhaps once our belongings are squared away I can share them with you on the train to Canterlot?"

Name : Stalwart Gender : Male Gender preference (Optional) : Female Location : Canterlot, but I enjoy traveling Age : Young Stallion Species : Pegasus Species preference (Optional) : None Cutie-Mark (Optional) : A simple stone fortress How would you describe yourself, physically? I am somewhat tall and rather physically fit...some might even say buff. It's necessary for me to at least look intimidating, because I'm a bodyguard for a living. What things in life are important to you? Being just, honorable and truthful in all things, and treating all people with fairness, regardless of who they are. Also, following one's dreams is important. What's your idea of the ideal first date? Someplace quiet and peaceful, where I can talk to the other pony and get to know her better. It could be a restaurant, or a park, or even a social event, as long as it's not overly distracting. What are you looking for? A sweet, loving mare who I can love and care for, and who won't resent me being protective. It's in my nature. It's how I got my cutie mark, after all. Anything else you think we should know? I'm willing to go anywhere to meet my special somepony. It doesn't matter if they're far away; we can work something out.

HighRoller nodded to Pigpen and carefully counted out the agreed upon sum of bits, tying them up neatly in a drawstring bag no doubt originally intended for the housing of dice. "Thank you, good sir. I've got a near-empty saddlebag with me, so I'll simply stow these new found treasures in it, and I can, as you said, assist these lovely ladies." He bowed his head in thanks to the generous (if hygenically challenged) stallion, and trotted over to Madam Bistro and Princess Cadance. "I'm ready whenever you are, m'lady. I must say, it's quite a pleasure to meet you here, of all places. Just to let you know, those figures I consulted you about are already in production. I took the liberty of painting a prototype just to assure that every fine detail is in order, and I must confess I'm proud of how it turned out." The dark blue stallion produced a small pewter miniature on a round plastic base. The detail put into the painting was astonishing. The eyes looked very lifelike, and everything else about it was equally the spitting image of its lovely subject, from the multicolored hair to the gold-plated hooves, which caught the light as if there were actually flecks of metal in the gold model paint that had been used.

My skype is wolf.obsessed. It's easy to block people, but I trust y'all not to abuse it anyway.

Your avatar image is very pretty, and, assuming those are your OCs, they look very nice. I'm fond of your style...you did draw that, right? If not I'm gonna look like an idiot. xD

HighRoller was still patiently waiting to settle his accounts, but heard Madam Bistro talking about the need for help. "I'm headed back to Canterlot after this, too, so I'd be happy to aid in any way I can," he said. "Always happy to help a pony in need...especially ladies of your caliber." The unicorn followed this flattery with a courtly, sweeping bow, one hoof giving a little flourish, determined to crank the cheese factor up to 11.

Iron Rainbow looked over at the obviously nervous Life Line, and levitated his mic stand, moving so that he was standing closer to the nervous nurse. "Hey...don't be so uptight. This is just a rehearsal, after all. Save the jitters." His choice of words was casual and even a little teasing, but his tone was gentle and reassuring. "What's your name, hon?" he asked her, smiling kindly. "I don't believe I caught your introduction." As he awaited her answer, Iron watched the other musicians milling about, getting things ready, and generally doing whatever needed to be done in order to get the rehearsal off the ground. He turned back to her, his smile still gracing his striking features. "You're gonna be backing me up, right? I'm sure you'll do great."

Iron Rainbow stood, smiling. "Okay...I brought my own mic, and I have a little amp, in case you good ponies didn't have one, but it seems you have plenty. So I'll just get my mic outta my saddlebag here..." he said, levitating it out of his saddlebag and connecting the cord to a nearby amp with his teeth. "I prefer mics with cords. They're more reliable." The charismatic stallion stepped up onto the stage with practiced grace and levitated the mic in front of him. "C'mon, everypony, let's get this show on the road!"

Iron Rainbow trotted into the garage, well-aware he was more than fashionably late. He hadn't expected to get mobbed by fans who'd somehow caught word of his arrival, and had had to sign some autographs and such while waiting for his security to get there. He burst into the practice area shortly after the young male who was muttering something about alarm clocks and cheese and the nurse. "Hey, there, everypony! My name's Iron Rainbow, and I'm very, very late, for which I apologize." He walked over to a seat and took it, eying the snacks but figuring he should get his introduction out of the way first. "For those who don't know, I'm the vocalist of rock band Black Solstice. Pleasure to meet you all." He stood up and gave a graceful, flashy bow, then sat down again.

Your avatar image is awesome.

We'll help you out.

I agree with Xiee.
