Well yeah, that is exactly why I needed to make this, I was surprised to find that I couldn't quite keep up with it.

This is the official OOC thread for my Grey Area RP. As explained in the RP, I have tried to maintain a line to everybody RPing, but as the RP grows, is has become cumbersome. Resultantly, I have opened this thread to allow for those discussions to take place, to gauge interest, and more. This way, as I cannot be awake all hours of the day, anybody in the RP can answer any questions a new player may have. This is not solely for use to answer those questions though. Here, current RPers can get to know each other as people, and not just as the characters they portray. If you are stuck, and whoever you were trying to talk to is not answering, then instead of posting a reminder there, you can tell that person here. If you want to coordinate something, you can do so here, you can bounce ideas off each other. To make something clear before I begin, I do know Extravagant Evil in real life, and have been bouncing ideas off of him for some time. The senior members to this thread are Myself, Snowy, and ExtravagantEvil, in that order. Whatever we say goes. This selection is based on it being my RP, Snowy being the first person to still actively post, and my knowing EE. Please, don't be shy, if you happen across this, feel free to ask anything. EDIT: Don't worry about double posts here, as the layout of its necessity to be current with the RP will necessitate then at times, and edits do not send out a notification of a new post. EDIT 2: Multiple characters are allowed. For further detail, go to page three of this topic, or the first post (EDIT 3) of the RP. Thank you!

The Lost World (Not taking more characters)
GreyMatter replied to Warbrony's topic in Out of Character Discussion
I'm interested. -
Did I lose yet?

"Cooking? My this University really does offer everything, doesn't it? Myself, I'm majoring in business and families, minoring in law. I would major in law and families, but since when does anypony do anything bad here? Well, I think those will be my majors. I still have some time to decide who I am going to be." Grey Matter had drive, and was indeed intelligent, but he always knew he would be bad in making decisions like this, although he could make a choice for somepony else in an instant. "Why thank you Life Line. How did you get in?"
-
"The name is Grey Matter, graduated top of the class in Fillydelphia High, took some time off to tour Equestria, and now, I'm here. A little late, but the school let me in anyway. Anypony looking for a roommate, because I honestly have no interest being raffled off in a common giveaway." Grey said. He seemed to know a lot, but not being inherently nerdy. He could be fun, but not always, and was ready to join the university scene.

(OOC: Well if I did co-ed dorms, and RPed as both, that would kinda defeat the purpose, would it not?) (OOC: EDIT: Erm, not to be pushy, but you guys do realize I am in the group too, right? I kinda said hello, and nopony even acknowleged me...)
-
(OOC: Are the dorms Co-ed? I would assume not, but it may make finding a roommate easier for Grey) Grey Matter awaited yet stil while his schedule printed, but in the meantime decided to tour the campus. He sees a small gathering and decides that, if he is to meet anypony new, he would be well served to talk to them. "Oh, hello everypony. Please excuse me if I intruded, I was only just admitted to the university. How is everypony doing?"
-
A new student awaits in the office. He applied to the university late, but because of his score on the tests, was allowed to join in during the semester. This student was named Grey Matter, and he was awaiting his schedule and roommate assignment. Sadly, as a result of his late application, unless somepony volunteered to have him as a roommate, he would be put in a pool and given away to whoever was selected. He hoped some likeminded pony would choose to be his roommate.

"Follow me, old chap. I used to loiter aside the courthouse in my days in Trottingham. I believe a young man named Jack was on trial, he had done terrible terrible things. Moving on, follow me. And mind the London fog!" Grey Matter said britishly. This is getting worse, he thought. He must find a way to stop talking britishly, he felt it was getting on everyponies nerves. He had never even been to Trottingham in his life!
-
Grey Matter decided to silently agree with everypony, and look as threatening as he can. He knew that, with his newly british voice, this would be difficult if he said anything. He could, however, not contain his laughter when Nox began to patronize the monster, and began laughing in typical british manner. "Haha! Tea. Bwahahaha, crumpets! Cheerio and all that. Mwahehehe." The monster looked at Grey and spoke. It too had a british accent this time, one it had not had before. "I do say, quite a show there pal. Did you see the race this afternoon? Quite alright if you did not."
-
Grey Matter, having been groggy and totally out of it until now, shook himself awake. Well, not awake, per se, but conscious. He saw some strange, and some familiar, ponies. Somehow, he had a feeling they all recognized him, ir at least had tried to speak to him. He did the polite thing. "Oh, hello everypony," he said in a british accent. This was queer, as he had been born and raised in Fillydelphia, and had rarely ever head a pony with a british accent. "Well bullocks, I haven't the foggiest what is happening." Be was trying to talk normally, but the more he tried, the more british it sounded. Words he was not saying were coming out of his mouth, made more britishy. "Ah well, nkthing better to do than embrace, right mates?"
-
Suddenly, Grey Matter awakens in a strange, but oddly familiar, locale.
-
Grey heads down to the dining area with little Twilight Shine.
-
Grey heads back to the counter, and says to Twilight, "We don't have much for the foals yet, but there is a nice dining area, you want to come along? You can get anything you want there, absolutely free today!"
-
"Well, if you would like a meal, I'm headedf back out toward the dining area. Care to join me?"
-
"Hi, I'm Grey Matter, the owner. I ran into your daughter in the lobby, and she informed me that you guys had moved in. As I was not informed when it happened, I would just like to personally welcome you to the Condo. We have a special going on int the communal dining area today, you can have any meal, absolutely free. Wh have a great chef there, Thyme, who will be glad to serve you anything from the mundane to gourmet food. Again, I welcome you. How have you enjoyed it here so far?" ((That works great, as a way to seperate parental and childish actions.))
-
Grey Matter rushes down to A110, with a certain spring to his step. He is clearly plesed with this development, and when he reaches the room, he knocks on the door, and patiently awaits Twilight's parents.
-
"Room? What room? Did Snowy sign up somepony for a lease without telling me? Why thats...thats just-thats GREAT! I though nopony was interested! I was really worried there that this Condo was gonna be a total bust! What room are they in, I want to welcome them to the Condos!"
-
"Well, what is your name? And where are your parents?"
-
Grey Matter, having finished his meal, begins his rounds. As he reaches the front desk, he spots a dark blue filly, with a red and blue tail. "Why hello there, little filly! Are you alright? Where are your parents" He asks. "You aren't lost, are you?"
-
Grey Matter arrives in the dining area and, assuming Thyme had received his order, sits down without a word.
-
((Yes, you can. I PMed you the details of joining in such a young character.))
-
After being awakened, Grey Matter decided to go downstairs to join the others. First, he opens the speaking channels, which he had installed so he could easily contact maintenence, front desk, and the kitchen from his penthouse, and vice versa. He opens the channel to the kitchen, to give Thyme his order. Some Clam Chowder. New England style. He heads down five minutes later.
-
Grey Matter wanted to join everypony for lunch, but as he had woken up at 5 am, he figured it was time for a nap. He headed up to his Penthouse, had a glass of cider, and fell asleep. Not on his bed, but on the couch. The one facing toward his large, open-viewed, window. Why, he could see home from there. "Home" he thought, as he drifted to sleep. He dreamed during that nap. He dreamed of Fillydelphia. He loved the city life, but hated the people. When you live in a big city, you have less friends than you think. He had only a few, as others would move in and move out in weeks. He hated that, he always thought children of his age needed stability. Needed a home, not several. He recalls the people there, walking down the streets, not saying a word to anypony. He wondered how many ponies had missed out on a full life, because they walked right past their sole mate, and ne'er spoke a word to them. That thought alone was enough to scare him awake.
