  1. Pathfinder waited for a brief moment before hopping off of her bed and trotting over to his. She had an amusing grin on her face. "Well, nopony's really ever tried, right? Everypony just assumes its a legend and it isn't true, but how many times have we found out that there's truth to a legend? It happens all the time! And something like the Iris of Immortality would be amazing if it were true! Not only do you find the flower but there is an awesome legendary staff, an ancient prince, all of that cool stuff. There's truth to every legend and even if only one thing in this legend were true, any one piece alone would be worth the adventure to find it! And what an adventure it'd be, Rainy! No one knows where it is, meaning that whoever finds it would have to piece it all together and find the pieces anyway and geeze louise more than half the fun would be the adventure itself!" The mare said, practically beaming with excitement. The conversation was exciting to Rain Leaf as well; not because he thought that the mare had a legitimate shot, but because he felt as if he was actually talking to a character out of some old story. It was a unique experience for him. The mare seemed to have it all together, even though Rain Leaf didn’t believe there was anything there in the first place. He could only sit there with a slight smirk of skepticism, listening intently to the mare’s grand scheme. What an existence that the mare lived; devoting her life to adventure and fortune. It was a lifestyle that many certainly could envy. Even on slow weeks, he might have found himself desiring something more. His life had enough adventure; he just had to remember that. The mare hopped off his bed and went back to her own. "It's going to be so freakin' awesome! Well, if I decide to do it, that is. It's quite a long-term project since there are no real clues, only a few vague hints to even start. But I'm gonna go look for it, have an awesome and dangerous adventure, and then I'll find it! Huzzah!" Pathfinder said loudly, striking a pose. The nurse heard her from the hallway and poked her head in. "Shush! Ponies are trying to sleep!" The nurse’s interruption caught Rain Leaf off guard. He quickly pulled his sheets up to his neck, knocking both of the books off his bed onto the tiled floor below. "Hehe, well, after I get out of here, of course." “Well you certainly do have an adventure ahead of yourself, Pathfinder. That is if you choose to embark on it, of course.” Rain Leaf said as he put both of the fallen books into a pile and picked them up. “I’ll be back to work soon enough. That is enough adventure for me. Who knows, we might bump into each other again!” He smiled. “If the legend is out there, I am sure that you can find it.” He poked at her ego slightly while legitimately wishing her luck. He picked up the glass on the stand next to him and drank the last bit of water in it. The water didn’t taste great but it still soothed his parched through. If only they could bring him up a nice cup of cider. He could only dream. “So, about this escape plan you have concocted…”
  2. I thought Lesson Zero was pretty funny. It was a little over the top at times but it still made me laugh a few times. I think I have to give it to Applebuck season because I didn't really know anything about the show when I first watched it. All of the laughs were fresh. It was kind of like watching a comedy series for the first time. I personally though that The Last Roundup was the funniest but obviously that doesn't count in the poll.
  3. So I finally decided to give Minecraft a go. Where have the last 4 days gone?

  4. I played the first one. Loved it. I never got around to playing the second. The first one was really fun. It seemed as if you had to plan everything perfectly. I think I might have to pick up my copy and play it again sometime during the summer.
  5. Not that I know of. I only started using it after I heard Applejack say it. I know it is supposed to be some form of country slang or something. Pony swear so it still counts
  6. 1. Haha! I make that all the time. I use either Tapitio or Tobasco for that extra kick! It is also very unhealthy. 2. Is it just me or does it look like there is some sort of highlight effect on the text in Calzone's post? Weird.
  7. I use "flying feather", "horseapples", "what the hay", "consarnit", and a few others. It really does make life that much more fun. I also say "By the Nine!" instead of "Oh my god!" for all you Elder Scrolls fans out there.
  8. Rain Leaf certainly didn't expect a hug. He feared that he had insulted her with his mocking laughter. Instead, she had sympathy for him. That just made him feel even worse. "Well, you know all about the legend, right? They say that millenia ago, there was this prince that was poisoned by his younger brother and was whisked away by his supporters to a hidden temple, where they used all manner of magic to imbue the Iris of Immortality with his spirit. The Iris of Immortality could never be destroyed, and therefore, neither could the Prince's spirit and when a cure was found for his illness, they could bring him back. Now in the book," Pathfinder said as she trotted over to her book and brought it back to him, jumping on his bed and laying next to him. He scooted over just a bit to give her more room. "The younger brother became a warlord-prince and, finding out about his brother being kept alive somewhere, ordered the creation of a powerful staff called the Saxon Staff. It used the very same magic as the one that created the Iris of Immortality and the warlord planned on finding the flower and using them together to give himself immortality and unlimited magical power. Of course, he and his staff vanished en route and no one knows where the staff or the Iris are. Well, that is until I find it, my good stallion," she finished. "Ok, I know about the legend, sure. But are you really tel-." Rain Leaf was cut off by the sound of some nurses that were coming. Pathfinder leaped off of his bed back over to her's where she quickly threw the covers over herself and started to snore, obviously pretending that she was asleep. Rain Leaf just shook his head while one of the nurses entered the room. "How is everything going for you in here, darling?" asked the nurse. Her contagious smile instantly lifted his spirits and even forced a smile out of him. "Uh, everything is just great. I could use some good old apple juice, though!" Rain Leaf said, maintaining his bright smile. "You know I can't do that for you. Not yet. Don't you worry, you'll be able to drink whatever you want in a few days. The doctor just wants to make sure that the toxin is flushed from your system first. That is actually what I came in to talk to you about. She thinks that you should stay at home for a week or two once you are released." The older mare looked at him. Her smile had all but faded. He could tell that she was being sincere. "Don't worry! I don't plan on doing anything soon." he lied. "Is she actually asleep?" the nurse asked, taking a few steps towards his roomie's bed. "Oh yeah! Out like a log! Weird huh? She probably just wore herself out." "Poor dear." she said with a hint of sympathy in her voice. "Well I am going to let you two rest. We'll bring up some crackers for you in a bit." the nurse turned and exited to room, taking one quick look back at Pathfinder before she did. Rain Leaf waited for a few moments just to make sure that the nurse was gone before turning towards his roomie. "As I was saying, Pathfinder. What is it about this story that makes you think they even exist? The real Iris. Well, the one that makes you live forever. I mean, it is just a work of fiction, right?" he said. He picked up the book and start flipping through the pages. "The Iris of Immortality. Huh, what a find that would be."
  9. Finally, more time for ponies!

  10. You have stumbled into the right corner of the interwebz, Snowy! Lots of nice ponies here! Welcome to Canterlot!
  11. This was one of the first pictures from that show that I ever saw way back before I was a brony. I thought it was awful. I also didn't notice the two back legs the first time around. Looked even worse with that thought in my head. Anyways, I think the front shots are adorable. I'll admit that I thought that Shining Armor and Big Mac both looked pretty silly from the front. It wasn't that bad though. Braeburn looks fine.
  12. Welcome to the wonderful world of Canterlot.com! I am kind of hungry now.
  13. Always good to see a newish member. There are all sorts of crazy things going on here! Never really a boring moment. Welcome to Canterlot!
  14. Ha. I used to have a Rose Hair and a Mexican Pink that were both named Rosey. There are a lot of active members on here and they are all really cool. Welcome to Canterlot!
  15. I would like to be a pegasus, but I would probably end up as a unicorn or an earth pony. Just think of all the trolling I could do with magic!
  16. I have watched a lot of live streams. I am pretty excited for this game. I just want to play as a Charr Engineer already! Hopefully I can trick some of my friends into getting it.
  17. All of my friends have it. I watched one play it at his house and it looked really fun. I might have to pick it up this weekend. Has anyone tried the co-op? How well does it work?
  18. And there goes my boredom. He has gotten every single one so far. (not in 20 questions) Thrall(Warcraft)- 37 questions Emperor Uriel Septim VII(Oblivion)- 27 questions Alan Wake(Alan Wake)- 20 questions Glitch(Metal Arms: Glitch in the System)- 26 questions Jack(Gears of War)-25 questions Karliah(Skyrim)-24 questions Edit: more and a typo Anthony DiNozzo (NCIS)- 31 questions. I am amazed that it took so long. Derek Morgan (Criminal Minds)- 24 questions Nightwolf (Mortal Kombat)- 24 questions Commander Strader (MechAssault)- I win
  19. I am curious to see how this turns out. It would give me a reason to watch CN again.
  20. "Oh, nothing much. Just gonna sneak on outta here once I know I'm ready. It doesn't mean I'll be fully healed but an adventurer such as me can't just sit and wait to heal up, ya see. I've been in ruins with arrows in my wing and had to push on, so ya know, this ain't a big deal. Just gonna find a way out and after that...well, I have no clue! I know in two days the new Daring Do novel comes out and I'll be first in line for that. Might even start camping out later tonight, who knows? After I read the book seven or fifty times, I'll probably bounce out of Canterlot and dig around some ruins. The Synergy of the Saxon Staff ALWAYS made me want to find the iris of Immortality! That'd be fun to get but if not that, I can always go back to the desert and canter around some ruins," The mare made a pose just like a hero straight out of a action novel before falling back into her cot. "What about you, Rainy?" Rain Leaf just stared blankly at her for a moment before bursting into laughter. It all sounded so absurd. The mare had to be a part of some troupe. His laughter slowly died down to a stop as he looked back at the mare. "Oh wow. You're serious." He quickly brought his hoof up to his mouth hoping that he didn't offend his roomie."Eight days. I am supposed to stay here for eight days. It really sucks. I was supposed to be out in Rapterclaw Canyon today." He lowered his hoof and slowly shook his head. "Instead, I am stuck here. I might not even be able to travel for a couple days or so after I am released!" He laid his head back and stared at the ceiling for moment. Something mare had said previously popped back into his head. "Wait a second, the Iris of Immorality?" The mare didn't seem to have any interest in plants when he brought them up previously. Why now? He jumped up with excitement. "What interest could you possibly have in it?"
  21. Rain Leaf continuously found himself looking back down at the book on the nightstand beside him. He was pretty surprised that he actually put down something by the great Dr. Evergreen. The stallion was a genius! Everything that Rain Leaf was had come from reading the doctor's reports. They had everything! Every last detail was described and every location shown. Obviously he wouldn't be in the situation he was in now if he would have picked up the guide that the doctor published a few months back. He didn't think that he would need a guide. He thought he knew better. He thought Maple knew better. Nope, instead he had to spend a few more days in the hospital until his system was cleared. If only the hospital had something decent to drink. Water was fine for a while, but after a few days of nothing but water he was really beginning to crave something with flavor. Every now and then he would begin to wonder what kind of havoc his cat, Yarrow, was wreaking upon his couch and his other furniture. Hopefully his sister would get there soon enough to feed the poor thing. He could only hope that the cat hadn't tampered with any of his projects. Pathfinder moaned with disgust. "A full week! It's already been a few days and I feel as though I'm about to insane! Almost as insane as the author before he was committed to the looney bin and read up on the Iris of Immortality! But don't you worry, I'm fixing to get out of here the second I feel up to it, doctor's release or not!" she replied in answer to his question. "Doctor's release or not?" The mare's answer was both exciting and worrying. The question of who the mare really was started to poke at his brain again. She couldn't be hinting at the idea of possibly breaking out. That would be absurd. The mare did seem eager about something. Maybe she was planning a new "adventure" of some kind once she was out of their small white cell. "What are you planning exactly?" he asked cautiously.
  22. Rain Leaf couldn't help but chuckle through his nose at the unicorns' reactions to the medicine. With all that had happened, any form of laughter was a huge relief. The ache in his throat forced him to let out a small cough. The two pills shot forward and the capsules broke against the top of his mouth as he tried to keep them in place. The powder stuck to his tongue and mouth, causing a slight irritating sensation. It was only slightly worse than what he had expected. It certainly was horrible, bitter. He could handle something bitter as long as it was helpful. "Simply awful!" he said through his teeth. He tried to use his tongue to move the powder around but that just made it worse. He quickly gulped down the cup of water hoping that it would drown out the clingy sensation in his mouth. It reminded him of when he ate a pure spoonful of caramel powder. What a nightmare that was. "You know what, Doc? I thought my stuff was bad. This? This right here." He brought his hoof up to his mouth as a comedic gesture. "This is horrible. I don't know how you do it but it has to be an art of some kind." The aftertaste started to die down and a newer unexpected sensation took over. It was almost like a minty feeling, only far less pleasant. The ache in his throat was still there but now it felt more like a tickle rather than a scratch. Unfortunately, one sensation was replaced by another. His wing and back muscles were still incredibly sore. There was no way that he was going to be able to collect or deliver any herbs like this. He fell back onto the bed for moment as he thought about his job even further. "Doc, you got anything for my wings? I flew a lot today and I can't stay down and out for too long. Um, can I get a refill with that as well?" He grinned. He sat back up and laughed. "That was one crazy incident. I am just glad that we all made it out the tell the tale. What a tale!"
  23. Welcome to Canterlot! Enjoy your stay
