  1. [colour=#ff0000]"What the hay is going on with the lot of you!? Somepony explain what's happening! I still can't see and I might still be on fire!"[/colour]

    Harrington continued shouting in panic as he rolled along the ground to extinguish the flames from his hat. Once that was over with a few minutes after he started, mostly because he kept missing, he breathed a sigh of relief right before Cloudchaser decided that the remedy for this madness...was what caused the ruckus to begin with. He fumbled around and tried to take off so he wouldn't get hurt from the earthquake the giant Pegasus mare was creating with her stomping.

    [colour=#ff0000]"Finally...away from the madness of it all..."[/colour] He hovered in the air, flapping his wings as he maintained his position, which was a few yards directly in front of Cloudchaser's eye level. [colour=#ff0000]"Now, where's that cure?"[/colour] He had no idea nopony on the ground was close enough to hear his aside. Or that there was a giant mare behind him. Or a giant dragon terrorizing the city.

  2. Profile here!

    Sample the goods:

    Harrington Sleuth, private investigator, was sorting through the mess inside his caravan. Lately, his maps, hats, mail and important items of travel had cluttered up some of the more useful spaces inside the wagon, so he figured he'd do a little housekeeping. That day's mail had been mixed in with the rest of the heap, and he tossed it aside for the moment. When he finished, he looked back at the single letter he got that day, one that had his name listed as the recipient, but with an encrypted code listed as the sender. He hesitated for a moment upon seeing this mysterious writing before he opened it up, reading the letter the envelope enclosed.

    "This sounded quite interesting when I got the first letter...though I still have the feeling that I could be walking right into a trap, what with these pictures of me...and Mom and Dad...and Allegro...designed maybe to bait me into coming...but they're all...things I remember...I've got to find out just who is behind all this...and if there really is some prize to be won."

    He plucked a bowler hat from his selection and looked over the information once more to assure that he would be in the right place at the right time. Without further delay, he slipped into his position in the wagon and lifted it up as he proceeded forward.

    Hurr, that's a knee-slapper, hur-hur!:

    What did the green grape say to the purple grape?

    "Breathe, you idiot, BREATHE!!"

  3. (Relic) The Ruby Claw- This linking piece allows the Saxon Staff to combine its limitless magical power with the Orb of Overwatch. The staff's wielder may channel the power of the Orb when in the Claw's grip so that its user may seek out other beings and send them what they will, whether it aids the target or hinders them. The Ruby Claw is said to have come from a tyrannical Griffon king who imprisoned unicorns and forced them to enchant his artifact. When he was overthrown, the Claw disappeared into the annals of history.

    (Villain) ...I'll get back to you on that one. Does it need to be an approved character or one made up just for this RP?

  4. http://www.examiner.com/article/capcom-announces-ace-attorney-5-for-nintendo-3ds-will-see-a-western-release

    At long last, another Ace Attorney game is coming to the United States! For all it's worth, I hope it's good. Capcom hasn't been on a very good track lately, but this could be the start of their recovery. Or the final nail in their coffin. Will see about it soon. And from what I got on the Ace Attorney fansite, Court Records, the Japan release date is November 28th, so I'm estimating a release from late March to May 2013.

    But, still, AN ACE ATTORNEY GAME IS COMING TO THE STATES!!

  5. Harrington's eyes lit up as "Liquid Storm" invited him to go inside to the crime scene. I'm actually surprised that he would let me come along like this. And so soon after I asked him. This is so exciting! Just remember to keep calm...this is a crime scene. A different league from what I'm accustomed to, a bit more professional, but I can handle myself in this...

    "Very well, then. We'll discover a few things together."

    He walked past the boundaries laid out to dissuade civilians from entering the scene and started inside with "Liquid Storm" to investigate the scene at hand. His mind starting running off the possibilities of what happened as they entered. It was likely an art theft, but what exactly was inside that would be of such value to break into a university museum to steal? At least they're letting me inside on legitimate terms to find these case-making bits of evidence. Much easier than breaking in from the rooftop.

  6. Harrington slumped as he walked over to where more voices were, picking up that they were talking about Flim and Flam. He stopped outside the throng of ponies and started protesting with them.

    "Poison joke!? I don't find this very funny at all! I can't see anything! It's a miracle I didn't go deaf, too, with what you put in your so-called elixir! I agree; give us antidotes and refunds!" As he started speaking his peace, Flam the dragon had turned his head toward him and coughed up fire. Part of the flame nicked his hat and started burning it. What is that...? He sniffed around for a moment before feeling the heat on top of his head, then realizing what was going on.

    "Fire! Fire!" He tossed off his hat and started rolling around on top of it to put it out. He huffed as he stopped when he had put out his hat and glared in the direction he felt the flames come from.

    "What, now you're trying to kill me!?"

  7. Harrington turned around at the sound of Cloudchaser's voice as she questioned him.

    "They can tell me if this is some sort of trick!" he huffed, pointing behind him to the tree nopony had yet told him was not the sales wagon. "These frauds may be unicorns, but know nothing of magical elixirs! Don't bother spending your bits on something that, if it works, will disfigure you in the process! If you'll excuse me, I still have to get these clods to answer me!" He continued pounding away at the tree, likely to the dismay of those inside. "Get down from there and face me, you rapscallions! I'll have both of you imprisoned!"

  8. I will keep that in mind. But honestly, bank robberies are old-hat and any common criminal can do it. If you're going to rob them, you need to be sneakier about it. Put up a legal front for it. Besides, I honestly can't afford to accumulate consecutive life sentences like a ton of old-time villains did. Rob them in a way that they can't complain about. Prey on their stupidity. Trap them in a cycle that they can't get out of. How do you think the government makes all the money they "need" for their "solutions" to the country's problems? (Well, the problems that we don't cause.)

  9. Harrington left his wagon after he had decided to down the entire bottle and walked out, feeling the effects starting up. He felt the energy coursing through his veins as Flim and Flam had promised it would, and he felt like taking a lap or two around Equestria. He dashed off, flying high and fast through the skies. He felt like somepony out there might mistake the sheer speed for Rainbow Dash's or that the Wonderbolts might take notice of this sheer speed and energy. For a moment, he thought he saw a mach cone.

    On his way back to Ponyville to thank the brothers, however, things started to look a little fuzzy. He figured it was from how fast he was flying and squinted, wishing he had brought along goggles before the impulsive flight. When he landed, his vision wasn't getting any better, and everything was starting to fade out.

    "Aaaah! No, no, no! I'm...I'm going blind!!" He panicked and sprinted about, half running and half flying, as his view turned pitch black. "What did that potion do to me!? I can't see a bucking thing!!" He crash-landed into the ground a distance away from where he took off, recovered and then approached what he thought was the sales wagon Flim and Flam were using but was instead Twilight's library tree. He pounded on the door indignantly.

    "Yes, I've come to file a complaint! What the buck is this for!? I've gone blind because of your "miracle elixir," you filthy cheats!"

    Silence fell as it hadn't dawned on him he was, literally, barking up the wrong tree. He turned around and bucked at the tree, which he still mistook as Flim and Flam's sales wagon.

    "Don't you give me the cold shoulder! I want my bits back! I want compensation for my impairment! What are you waiting on, a written invitation!? FIX ME, YOU SCOUNDRELS!! I'LL RING UP THE AUTHORITIES ON YOU! TO THE MOON! TO THE MOON WITH YOU BOTH!!"
