IceStorm

That is not a problem at all. Glad to have you on Board and I will modify the first post for the OOC and the RP to say Full Not a problem. I'm making an OOC post there now though so the people who NPC'd the Mane 6 will edit their posts as to the fact that they are being played by other people And HoneyFloral, no it's not too late to join. Yes, Draco still has a spot. We can accomidate 4 easily enough.

(sorry it took a bit longer to get up than expected. Everyone whose signed-up feel free to post at their leisure.) A large storm had just ripped through Canterlot. The palace itself had suffered a direct hit from the tornado that had touched down and Princess Luna and Princess Cadence both looked into the tattered throne room. Debris had been strewn everywhere and nothing could made apart from anything else. Fabric from the carpet had been woven through planks of woods like a needle and there were other various statues that were once in the shape of ponies, unicorns, and pegasi were now in crumbled heaps on the floor, and worst of all Princess Celestia hasn't shown up yet. "Cadence, Have you seen my sister at all? It's been almost an hour and we haven't even much as heard from her." "Um... no, I was kind of hoping that you had heard something from her seeing as you live in the palace with her," Cadence replied. "No, let me see if I can even sense her," Luna said activating her horn to see if she could detect the other Alicorn in the area. Luna was able to easily identify Cadences magical Aura as well as the magical auras of most of the other unicorns in Canterlot, but she knew her sister's aura and it was no where to be found. "She's.... She's not here..." "What? How can she not be here?" Cadence shouted. "I don't know... what's this?" Luna said picking up with her horn and folded piece of paper, the only thing in the room that wasn't destroyed. If you want to see your Celestia again, unconditional surrender is you're only option. Luna's heart about jumped out of her chest when she read the note. "Celestia's been.... she been... abducted.." "WHAT!?" "I don't know.. All the not says is surrender if we want to see Celestia again," Luna said using her magic to grab a black scroll, the scrolls that were only to be used if there was an absolute emergency, to write a letter to at this point, the most important group of ponies in Equestria. Twilight Sparkle. The assistance of you and your friends is required in Canterlot as soon as possible. Bring the Elements of Harmony. HURRY!!

Ice Storm nearly jumped out of her seat when the Minotaur blasted out of the crate and started playing heavy chords out of no where. After she regained her stomach and pushed it back down to where it was supposed to be she gave a very dissatisfied look to his direction. She very much disliked loud sudden noises, and she was relieved to see that Starburst was taking care of the situation. Ice Storm knew though that there would probably be some heavier rock here now though, which she didn't really like but she didn't hate either. She looked back and saw that Dunder had spilled some of the punch as a result of the outburst that had occurred. She pushed herself out of her chair and walked over to him. "Here, let me give you a hoof," she said taking the partially spilled one and filling it back up, "I'm going to go see if I can meet any other nice ponies here. Hopefully proving all of my suspicions to be false in the process," she added turning towards Fleur and the other pony she was talking to and timidly walking over to them.

Attention every pony, we will be starting on Thursday regardless if Rarity's place is filled or not.

That's why I don't attack with Undead. I never said that I would equip it to Undead Alchemist. I Never attack with Alchemist because of his weak toughness. Normally when I get it out, it goes on my Ruinator, or one of my tokens. What I mean was that the two are broken in tandem. And then With Memory Adept it's even more broken.

Ice Storm smiled at Dunder as he fumbled for words about her dress. Saying that she looked so beautiful in it that he just didn't remember seeing her in it at the party. Ice Storm couldn't help but giggle a bit. "Nice recovery," she said teasingly. It seemed that even more ponies were starting to come in at this point and one of them that looked to be coming was carrying a large case and he looked to be heading towards the stage. Yay! Looks like a member of the band is here! I wonder what kind of band they are, she thought to herself looking back to Dunder. He asked if she would like some more punch. Seeing as he was heading in that direction anyway it would be silly for both of them to get up. "I would love some more punch. Thank you," she said with a smile. Ice Storm was still very nervous inside though. The simple fact that she knew that she had at least one friend here was helpful, but so far at this Gala she had only met one other pony from Canterlot. Granted She was as nice as she could be, but that was still only one pony in a city that she's gone through nothing but turmoil in. AS much as she wanted to mingle and talk with other ponies, in the back of her mind she was just told that she would be shunned by everyone here just because she's not from here. It would be just like she moved here before. A lot of that was pushed aside by Starburst, but still, it was in her mind. At the bery least I'm not making a scene, and if other ponies want to speak with me that I don't know, they can come speak to me. That way I can be positive that I'm not interrupting anypony and upsetting them. she thought to herself. It seemed like the best solution to her, but she knew that she would be really upset with herself if she didn't at least try. She decided that she was going to wait here for a bit and if no other ponies came to talk to her, then she would try to make some other friends as well. Hopefully the ponies in this part of Canterlot were just as nice as the ponies back in Ponyville.

It doesn't even have to connect when you attack, it mills the cards to determine +X All creatures Milled this way are Exiled and you get 2/2 Zombie Tokens = to the creature Removed. So regardless of whether they take the damage or not, they are milling and you're getting Zombies. Same Goes with Jace, but Memory Adept is broken anyway on it's own. Let alone paired with another card.

The reason that I run three is for fodder. This deck mills on itself a lot so I run three in hopes to draw one. AS far as how I'm accelerating it. Armored Skaab turn 3, Call To the Kindred Turn Four and Upkeep of Turn Five I start getting free Zombies. I also use the Diabolic tutors to either search for Jace or Undead, depending on what I have already. And Added Trepenation Blade. I knew there were cards I were forgetting in the Zombies but I forgot which one. I was posting it from memory last night,. Trepenation Blade in Combo with Undead Alchemist = broken Also I don't really have an issue with mana because of Traveler's Amulet and Evolving Wilds. And I know both are type two legal because Evolving wilds were reprinted in DA and Traveler's is from Innistrad. An yes, the primary reason I'm avoiding most duel colored lands are because of budget. I'm currently living off of unemployment.

Okay, Most of this is from Memory as my decks are both in my car, but I have two Primary Type 2 Decks.

Ice Storm watched and listened intently on how to play the game. It sounded simple enough and fun!. Just put the blindfold on, and put the tail on the poster. Surely it can't be that hard to do! She waited patienlty as Pixie grabbed the first blind cloth, but it had a hole in it. She could see that Pixie was a little upset that they couldn't use it anymore. Apparently it had been the one that they had used for every party and Ice Storm smiled to how important the blind fold was to her. It reminded her of how she was with her bracelets. They were the last thing she had of her mother, and she wasn't going to let anything happen to them. She watched how close Pixie was to her family, and it started reminding Ice of the Family that she never had. Not since her mother made the friends that she did. Once they had the blind fold issue sorted out Ice Storm approached and let them blind fold her. "Okay, I'm ready," she said opening her mouth for them to put the pin-tail in. She was thinking she was probably supposed to do that before getting the blind fold on.

That's fine. Just in pms you had said he wasn't apped. Since there's a link, it's fine

If someone hasn't claimed Rarity by Wednesday, I'll start the RP with her as an NPC until someone Claims her. Also sands, If you wish to participate with your OC, don't forget to at least post a description of him here as a quick reference for the other players.

Ice Storm just kind of giggled when Rarity had mentioned that clothing was her specialty, but she prided herself on knowing some decor intuitions as well. She gave a couple different examples and Ice Storm couldn't help but add in. "I don't think I've seen any dresses more beautiful than the ones that I saw in your shop when I first got here. I think specialty is definitely an understatement. I would say clothing is your perfection," she told her with a wide smile. Nothing made her happier than happy customers, and while this new customer did seem to be a bit of the ruder types, she passed it on though with a smile and a nod. There was no reason to make a scene over something small. It was obvious this other stallion just didn't care for socializing.

Awesome. Now we only need to Fill the slot for Rarity and we can get started.

Ice Storm watched the interaction between this Holly Dash and Fleur, and it was not what she suspected. The other ponies that said that Fleur was a very nice mare weren't joking. Ice wished that she had met her sooner. Like she had thought earlier, if she had met her before everything else had happened in the Noble's District she may have been able to look past some of the other antics the other ponies there had been up to. Ice decided to only give Fleur a friendly wave at the moment while she finished her conversation with Dunder. Heck maybe she would even come over and join in the conversation herself. Apparently no one else here in Canterlot remembered her name, so hopefully everyone had forgotten about her at this point so that she could start anew. Ice turned to Dunder once again when he asked about where she got her dress. She gave him a teasingly 'are you serious' look as it was the same dress that she had worn to the party that she went to when she first moved to Ponyville. She let out a small giggle, "Silly, this is the same dress I got from Rarity a few weeks ago. And I know, when I first saw it I fell in love with it. I absolutely had to have it. The pureness of the white with the slightly aquatic colored gems made it look just like the ice and snow from my cutie mark. That and I was also awe inspired by the simple fact that I was getting a dress that was made by Rarity. I can only imagine if I had actually been able to afford a custom made dress, I don't know I mean, I don't think I could have come up with anything better than his myself," she said with a smile as she noticed more ponies finally starting to arrive to the gala. This was going to be fun!

Don't know, but it's not any of my business. All I know is that we need a replacement. If worse comes to worse, I can NPC them and start with in the next week, but I'd rather the Mane 6 NOT be an NPC.

Chapter 5: Plan for Escape Celestia and Chrysalis both started walking towards the sounds of the running water. Celestia soon found the moist ground underneath her signaling that they were close, and that sound of the creak was now clear as day. She extended a wing out to stop Chrysalis from walking any farther. “Let’s stay next to the creek rather than walking in it to follow it. We don’t know what Deadly has done to taint the water so I’d rather not take any chances.” “What way is it flowing? Can you tell by the sound?” “Hmm, no I can’t. Celestia reached a hoof out and cautiously and lightly put her hoof in the underground spring. “It’s flowing to our left. So that’s the direction we should go.” “Right,” Chrysalis agreed. The royal pair continued on, right next to one another within a wing’s touch to make sure they didn't lose each other. “Anything yet?” Celestia asked Chrysalis after a failed attempt to activate her own magic. A few sparks of green came off of the horn, but just like with Celestia’s, her magic also faltered. “Hmm, we must be getting close to the outer limits of at least your containment field. That’s more than what I was able to spark up.” “We can only hope. It would be nice if we could actually see where we are going. All of this darkness has me more than a bit worried.” “You aren’t the only one…” Celestia admitted as she felt the ground give way beneath her and she instinctively spread her wings to stop Chrysalis. “Watch out, there’s a cliff here.” “That’s really odd… you would have thought we would have heard the roar of a waterfall if we were that close to one.” “Perhaps it’s not that large of a drop. Either way, without being able to see that’s a risk I think neither of us want to take at the moment.” Celestia said as she started to descend a bit. She tried her magic once more and got a glimmer, which was more than she had gotten any other attempt so far. “Chrysalis, try it now. I got a little bit of a response from my magic. Yours might work now.” “Without any hesitation Chrysalis started to activate her horn expecting it to fizzle out just like it had the last three times she had tried it. This time, however, it didn’t. Her magic was back and she was able to illuminate the area with her green radiance. “Thank the heavens it works,” she said with the both of them looking around. The caves that they were in were very dull. There were some crystals forming on some of the cave walls, but other than that it was completely barren of anything. There weren’t even any fish living in the stream. “Well at the very least we can see the path to follow now, even if there isn’t anything else to look at.” “We better hurry though, I don’t know if he could feel us leave the containment fields or not. So we can’t afford to stay here and talk about what we can see…” Chrysalis pointed out. Celestia nodded in agreement and they both started, once again, following the river. “I wonder how long this goes, and if this is actually leading us out of the caves rather than deeper into them.” “At the very least you can use your magic now, so we should be getting close to some sort of exit.” “How does that mean we’re getting closer to anything? It just means one of us can use magic!” “Well it means we’re out of your containment field and that by that logic closer to at least some sort of exit. If nothing else being able to teleport out of the mountain.” “Um, Celestia I can’t teleport,” Chrysalis admitted. “But I can.” “How does that help us!? You can’t use your horn yet!” “It will help us once I can.” “If you even can…” “I’ll be able to soon. Every time I try I can feel it getting a bit stronger so we’re approaching the range on the containment field for my magic.” Chrysalis sighed. “How can you be so calm when we could be killed by this thing at any moment.” “If Deadly revenge wanted us both dead neither of us would be alive right now. He could have killed us both while we were unconscious.” “You make a point… But, why then has he kept us alive? What could he possibly want to gain?” “If anything I’d have to say we’re bait… which is why I want to get out of here soon and get back to Canterlot so that we can plan a counter attack.” “Are you kidding? We can’t plan a counter attack! He’s with revenge like we are with love. He gets stronger by consuming it.” Celestia sighed. “Then what’s the point? No matter what we do he gets more powerful…” “Well, hatred makes us weaker, which is the opposite of love. Perhaps if we used friendship and Kindness… which are the opposites of Revenge, it would make him weaker. Then those…. Element things you have should be even better. Revenger is a form of Chaos. Harmony is the opposite of Chaos.” “It sounds like it could work,” Celestia said catching a glimmer out of the corner of her eye. “Hey, what’s that over there? I thought I saw a light!” “Let’s not waste any time then,” they both said as the two of them started running towards the light. There was another drop in the cave floor, but this time Celestia and Chrysalis could see it and instead staying on the ground, they spread their wings now that they had enough height to do so and flew towards the light. “Almost…. There…” Celestia said as the cave exit was starting to get closer and closer. Soon they could actually see the sky. Celestia landed just before the cave exit. “Hold on, we don’t want to go straight out… Deadly could very easily just be waiting for us on the other side. Let me see if…” she said as her horn lit up without any problems. “Aha! Get close to me! I’ll get us both out of here!” She said as Chrysalis got as close as she could to the white Alicorn. With a yellow flicker around her horn and the glowing seeping from the bottom of the horn to the top, Celestia activated her teleportation spell. When they two came out of it, they were facing the mountain that they had just been imprisoned in. “Thank the ancestors that’s over. “ They both said turning around only to find deadly revenge right behind them. “What was that? I don’t think I heard you correctly…” he said through maniacal laughter as Celestia and Chrysalis turned to look at each, both other stricken with fear.

Yes this is still going to happen. We're just waiting on two more people to fill the positions of Rainbow, (since Saren got banned) Rarity and Pinkie Pie. As soon as they have players for them we can begin.

Ice Storm nodded towards Starbust when she explained what the lovely desert was, adding that there crepes here as well and to make sure that she enjoyed herself as well while she was here. Ice Storm nodded and took a drink of her punch. Oh wow! this is really good she thought to herself. It was some of the best apple punch that she'd ever had. When Starburst mentioned that ti was made from the apples from the Apple Family in Ponyville, she immediately knew why. "The definitely know how to keep a good Orchid that's for sure. Their apples make for the best smoothies as well," she said just audible enough for herself to hear with a smile. Just as she looked around she noticed a familiar pony land at the doorway. It was Dunder! and he started approaching her saying hello. She waved happily back to him and when he got closer he added that she was the last pony that he expected to find here. Just over his shoulder though he saw another unicorn enter the room. It was Fleur. Ice Storm never got a chance to meet her when she lived here, but had a feeling that if she had, her opinion might have been different. Then again, it didn't take a whole lot to be the nicest pony in Canterlot. No, no... that's not the right way to think. Everypony here has been nice so far so I can't say that anymore, she thought to herself. "Yeah... At first I wasn't going to. Given my history in the Nobles district I was honestly surprised to find myself stepping out of the train station to come here. I don't regret it though. I think some visits are in order while I'm here as well. Just to see what they did with my old shop, and I can't come back to Canterlot without going to the park that I practically grew up in here. Well, where I spent my Fillyhood anyways. My foalhood was spent pretty much dealing with un-wanting parents and hoofing my way here from Fillydelphia," she said taking another sip of her punch and gestering for dunder to join her at her table. At least there was one pony here that she knew and could talk with without feeling awkward.

Ice Storm looked around nervously as the other ponies were talking about how they decided who went first. Dunder said it was just as easy as saying that they wanted to first, and Golden and Gerty said that it would be rude if they went first. Rarity also added that she thought that it would only be appropriate if the ponies of the evening were going first. Rarity added though that since they didn't want to go first that she, pointing back to Ice, should go first. Ice blushed, "Well... Okay... but you'll have to explain how this works for me. Like I said earlier.. this is my first party so I'm not sure how things are supposed to be done..." she said with an embarrassed smile.

(Sorry for late reply was without internet was for 2 days.) Ice Storm nodded when the new customer had ordered a chocolate milkshake from her, and once again she repeated the process of using her home-made vanilla ice cream and the perfect amount of chocolate and milk. She continued by mixing it thoroughly, and once it was mixed to the perfect concentration, she topped it with the whipped cream like she had done on Lore's with the chocolate criss-crossing drizzle and the cherry on the top. "Here you go sir. One Chocolate Milkshake. I hope you enjoy it," she said turning back to watch the stand as she let her customers converse.

(I'm so sorry that it's taken so long for me to get a post up. The only source of internet I've had for 2 days was my android phone and it's impossible to type a post on one of those things.) Ice Storm sat their patiently waiting for the waiter to bring the salad to her. She wasn't in any sort of hurry or anything since she had no plans for anything else for the day. It's not like she could find the ponies she needed to talk to about her store right now anyway. So she was content to sit there and listen to the conversation at hand. Lore had agreed with her about trying to fit into a place where they didn't belong. Apparently he knew what that had felt like to not fit in as well. "At the very least you had a plan when you got here. I didn't even have that. I wouldn't change any of it though, even the couple nights I spent out under Luna's moon. The park here is very lovely at night, and it lets me see her arrangements of stars without any difficulties here. It was my favorite thing to do while I drifted off at night was to just look at all the shapes in the sky. I never got a view like that in the park I went to in Canterlot. Which is kinda weird now that I think about it. Shouldn't the view of the stars and the night there be the best that it could possibly be considering Princess Luna lives in Canterlot?" she said with a small giggle. "It's somewhat amusing if you ask me." Just then another Unicorn had come over to the table. Wow, there are a lot more unicorns than I thought there would be here in Ponyville. Lore, Rarity, the mare Named Twilight, myself, and now this pony. Ponyville was definitely appropriately named, she thought to herself. "Nope that seat is open if you would like to join us," she said with a smile as her salad was brought to her. It looked absolutely amazing. She waited for everypony else to get their food before she started to eat hers though.

"Oh wow, an entire month!? It was definitely worth the time that's for sure," she stated giving her a smile as she said that she baked everything here herself and she sculpted pretty much the entire room out of clouds. "It's absolutely amazing. It makes me so glad that I decided to come back and give Canterlot one more chance before I forgot about it completely. Oh, but my manners, I do apologize, my name is Ice Storm. I don't know if you've heard of it, but I used to own the Frozen Delights in the high-tier part of the city," she stated plainly. she could have gone into more detail but this was a Gala. A place for Enjoyment. She wasn't going to go into any further detail about her situation unless she was asked, and heck, if this pony lived here there was a good chance that she had heard of her name at least through some of the trash talking the higher class ponies had done from the sector of which she lived in. She watched as the pegasus reached over and grabbed a desert that looked absolutely amazing. When she was offered a piece of the desert Ice Storm Graciously accepted and peeled the paper back and took a bite similar to how the pegasus had done. "Oh... what is this? I've never seen, or tasted antyhign like this before. It's delicious!" she said happily. She did feel a bit uneasy considering that she had live in Canterlot for several years before moving away. She felt as if she was supposed to know about everything that goes on at a Gala even though this was technically her first one. As she waited she did notice another pegasus joining the Gala as well. It was Dunder! A pony she knew! She gave him a polite wave thinking that maybe things wouldn't be so bad after all. The last thing she wanted to do was make a fool of herself and she could only hope she was going in the right direction to at the very least make a good impression.

Ice Storm smiled when she walked into the room. It was so spacious and large! Something that she had completely forgotten about in the buildings of Canterlot. It did bring back memories for her. Her home here wasn't the largest by any means, but it was still decent. She did however like the compact spaces of Ponyville more. There was less upkeep involved. When she did step in, she was greeted immediately by almost a snow white pegasus with a long elegantly flowing purple mane and a dress that very easily could have rivaled some of Rarity's work. It was one of the most beautiful dresses that she had ever seen. The shading that went from the deepest of purples fading into a much lighter shade of violet as to match the coloration of her mane perfectly. She stated her welcoming and asked if she could help find anything. Everything had been laid out in such a fashion that it looked like everything should be very easy to find. Ice could tell that this pegasus had put a lot of work in this, even more so than when she had first walked in. She also apologized for there being lack of entertainment at the moment because the band that she had hired hadn't arrived yet. She hoped that they would arrive soon and then placed a record on the phonograph and it filled the room with classical music. Music that Ice hadn't heard for a very long time. It please her greatly as it was the kind of music that she loved the most. While a lot of the newer music was okay, and she liked it. Her heart and hooves lye with instrumental classical. the moving melodic phrases that each different act of music passed through was just awe inspiring to her. She watched the pegasus go over to the punch bowl and then sit at a table and she followed suit. She figured that she might as well say hi and be friendly. She might even make some friends here in Canterlot to make it worth her wild to come back here and visit more often. She poured her own cup of punch and went over to the table behind the pegasus and sat down, being courteous enough to not sit at the same table but still close enough to where she could talk to her. "I love how everything here is so perfectly set up! The decorations are just amazing! This must have taken you days to get prepared properly," Ice said in awe.

It is a possibility, but the actual answer is unknown. If the story takes a direction where it would be feasible for me to add more OCs then I will, but if the story doesn't give me anything else to work with, then I'd have to say no. TO be honest it was a stretch for me to even get Ice Storm in it to where it made sense. the face that I'm bringing Changelings in though may open up possibilities.
