“Thank you Mojo !” The plate held firm in her mouth, Whirlwind started to move toward the table. She still couldn't take off easily, and she couldn't walk (or even stand up) so she creatively resolved her problem by pushing herself with her good front and rear legs, moving sideways like a lame crab. She finally sat around the table, and grabbed the maple syrup, before pouring it generously on top of her pancakes. She tried one of them – and then happily gulped it down. It was good ! Real good ! She started to eat with enthusiasm, all while congratulating Mojo on his cooking. “It'ch delichious !” she said, her mouth full, “you'ch really good Mojo !” She continued to devour the pancakes, almost matching Jubilee's capacity. Meanwhile the hippie pony finished to cook Starflower's breakfast and asked if anypony wanted second helpings. Both of the pegasus fillies voiced their approval, Jubilee before Whirlwind as she had a head start. It made Mojo laugh, and he started to make some more pancakes.

(ooc : no problem ! ) “Mgggnuh ...” The little pink pegasus grumbled something incoherent, hugging her pillow, trying to keep her face off the sunlight so she could stay in bed. She didn't liked to be woken up like this ! And she had such beautiful dreams too ! Whirlwind was not a morning pony. Unfortunately, the other ponies woke up and started to talk (or shout things about rotten bales of hay, in Jubilee's case). She couldn't hear everything, but it did make a permanent background noise. Plus the delicious smell of food – her stomach rebelled against her as well. Plus the bright, shining, happy, completely oblivious sun. Plus Starflower gently telling her to wake up. Ok … Finally defeated, her figure still wrinkled and her mane disheveled, she sighed, and got up. Mojo yelled something about sleepy head and pancakes. Starflower shouted back, and told Whirlwind that she could probably fly now. Fly ! It did helped to wake up the little pony, and she stumbled out of her hammock, before opening her wings wide, stretching her muscles gently. She tried to take off. It wasn't easy in the cramped little wagon, but she couldn't just walk outside, so she flapped her wings, trying not to break anything, and then wobbly glided out of the wagon, closing her wings suddenly at the entryway to pass, and opening them back again once outside, nearly crashing into the grass. Well, she made it without breaking anything, good. “Hello everypony” she mumbled toward her new friends, landing near Mojo's little campfire, still trying to wake up by blinking her eyes. Sunlight wasn't easy to handle right now. She passed her able hoof into her mane, trying to comb it a little, and failing at doing anything good. “So, pancakes.” she constated. “Smells really good, must be nice.” The little pegasus felt a little more awake now. She smiled towards the hippie pony, her face slowly getting used to the sunlight and the morning. “Can I eat 'em ?” she asked, before correcting herself, “uh, I mean, I'd like some pancakes please !”

"Oh, ok then." Whirlwind concluded, feeling a little more reassured. "I can't wait for tomorrow morning too,” she continued as everypony started to talk about tomorrow's breakfast. "It's gonna be great to try Mojo's cooking, and I'll be able to fly too !" she said with a smile, and then yawned hugely. "Uh, goodnight everypony ..." The room became silent once again. Whirlwind shifted in her hammock a bit, thought about the day she had, watched the lava lamp project strange patterns of light on the roof of the wagon, and very soon fell asleep.

HIIII ! Welcome aboard ! I hope you'll have fun here !

I'm not scared of Celestia's Secret Pony Service, I have a pitchfork ! I really like your wallpapers, especially the glowing Celly one. Luna's face is really nice. Her legs I don't like much ? It looks like the first one is too big and the other ones too small for her body. But I'm not a very good artist or artist critic ...

The crisis had been averted, and everypony turned towards Whirlwind, with words of comfort. The little pink pony gave them a small smile, a bit unsure of herself. “Thanks guys. I'll pay more attention next time, I swear.” Then she turned toward the older unicorn nurse and hesitated a bit. Starflower had exhausted herself trying to repair the trade goods, and Whirlwind really wanted to speak her mind about it – but, on the other hoof, she wasn't really one to speak, after all. “Starflower ...” she finally settled. “Why did you … I mean, there's no need to put yourself in danger to save an object. There's nothing worth as much as you, so …” She stopped, twiddling her mane, avoiding the unicorn. “Uh, I'm sorry. Just, don't hurt yourself, especially for this. I mean, it'll make other ponies sad. It's important to pay attention.” There. She'd said it. She didn't really knew if she had said enough, or too little, or too much, and was still as uneasy as before. The little pegasus felt relieved to see Mojo changing the subject, suggesting they should go to bed. Starflower agreed, and Jubilee too, and soon they shut the lights out and went to sleep, wishing good night to each other. “Good night everypony.” Whirlwind replied, and in a whisper : “and thank you.”

HIII ! Welcome here !

All of them

No, I had the same feeling as well. The world was grayer, less colorful, the archvillain was a bigger villain than nightmare moon, and did meaner tricks on the ponies. I am really curious to see the little girls' reaction to this episode, if we ever find a way to know it, to be honest.

I liked the episode. I've noticed it's much darker than the previous ones though. In terms of characters (frankly, Discord is way creepier and mischievous than Nightmare Moon) and of colors as well. Everything is grayer, and Discord actually "grayens" the ponies. I liked the very colorful universe of season one, but I don't mind, it's still fun ! I'm very curious as to how the primary public (=little girls) will react though.

HIIII ! You may be scary, but Pinkie is even scarier ! Welcome to Canterlot !

HIIII ! I've seen that comic about Lyra on EqD ! I love the way you draw.

Ashamed of herself, and unsure about what to do, Whirlwind just closed her eyes and gritted her teeth. Mojo was likely to yell at her (and rightly so, after all, he helps and all she does is break stuff). But to her surprise, the hippie pony remained calm ; it was her friend Jubilee who shouted her anger. She tried to say something, to find something to say, but she couldn't, and it was Mojo, of all ponies, who did her best to calm her down. The little pink pegasus just felt even worse. Starflower, the older unicorn, stopped the argument and proposed to repair the mess. The ponies gave her space as much as they could in the cramped wagon. She used a complicated spell that reversed time, bringing the shattered glass together and the broken goods back in their places, intact, and even threw the pillow back at Whirlwind. It wasn't time to play, and Jubilee caught it just in time, before the projectile had a chance to hit the little pony. Starflower fainted. Whirlwind gasped, Jubilee and Mojo shouted and ran toward her. They helped them as best as they could, and the brown pony even used up another of it's pricey goods to help. He brought a magic stone, that emitted a light that restored Starflower's health. After a bit of anxious time, the older unicorn opened her eyes, and stood up, wondering what just happened to her. Jubilee hugged her, and Mojo thanked her profusely, both glad that the few minutes of terror were over. Whirlwind watched them for a moment. Mojo was a really nice pony, he was never angry, or he never showed his anger, and he was always ready to offer his help to other, however much it costed her. But she didn't listened to the discussion : Jubilee flew towards her and apologized. “No, don't worry, I forgive you.” Whirlwind replied awkwardly. “You were right to be angry anyways, I screwed up again, I don't even understand why he wasn't. And, and ...” And what ? What could she do anyways ? She was stuck here, unable to fly, unable to walk, unable to move, unable to help, likely to be grounded forever the minute she set a foot home, she really wanted to repay Mojo for all his kindness and all his help, but she didn't knew how to do it. The little pony sighed. All she ever did was breaking stuff, causing the ponies around her to nearly kill themselves of exhaustion to fix the mistakes she made. But she didn't had to add her problems to this whole mess as well ! She smiled to Jubilee, trying to be reassuring. “He's a good pony. And I'm not angry at you at all. And don't worry, it won't happen again, I promess !”

Haha, that's a funny subject ! Whirlwind would still be a flying hazard, but she wouldn't care about others as well. She'll actually laugh at their sadness when she destroys something, rather than be sorry. She'll be completely egoistical, very competitive, and would enjoy belittling others. Not nice at all ! Moondrop ... would make bombs ? Yeah, I guess she would. Since she knows the outside world through books and stories, she'll be an ideological terrorist who think she knows everything, rather than the curious and naïve pony she is. (That's an interesting evil pony !) Bumble Buns would spend her life getting revenge on all the ponies who hurt her ! Since I'm sure she can make money with the farm, she'll become a cruel, sadistic criminal.

As Whirlwind had no idea what to do, Jubilee suggested ghost stories. Starflower agreed to the idea with a strange grin, and Mojo turned on the lava lamps. Soon the only source of light were these lamps, with their ghastly ghost-like shapes, stretching the shadows in the wagon. The older unicorn started to tell the tale of the Midnight Rider of Hoofington, with a creepiness in her voice only matched by the creepiness of her face under the faint colored light of the lamps. It was a scary story. The ponies stood silent, listening, shivering, as Starflower's words were powerful enough to make the story sound real, and they all half expected, or feared, something … Ghosts weren't real, were they ? And Starflower kept on and on, rising the tension, until the story reached its conclusion – and with an eerie scream she terrified them all, making Jubilee fall out of her hammock; landing flatly on the wagon's wooden floor. Well, she terrified Jubilee and Whirlwind all right. Mojo was looking at his friend, clearly amused of her reactions, telling her how scared she looked. He had stayed calm during the entire story. The brash white pegasus promptly denied, which only made him laugh. She then started to hit him with her pillow, the discussion promptly degenerated in a pillow fight. “Will you two stop this behavior ? Stop hitting each other with your pillows !” The nurse intervened, scolding them. The two ponies both took a sorry face, and the fun seemed to be over … But Mojo and Jubilee looked at each other, and then hit the unicorn nurse. “HAY!” Laughing, Starflower levitated the pillows, aimed at the brown pony and the white pegasus and began to playfully beat them repeatedly. She was so caught up in chasing Mojo and Jubilee around, she didn't see the flying pillow coming in her back, striking her smack on the head. “Gotcha ! ” grinned Whirlwind. She couldn't move, but that didn't meant she wasn't dangerous ! But her grin didn't last long – “oof !” a flying pillow abruptly crashed on her face, and soon she joined in the fun, her fatigue forgotten now, catching pillows and throwing them back. Feathers flew everywhere, and the ponies fought with their pillows in a cheerful chaos. “You can't hide from me !” The pink pony laughed. She couldn't move, but she could throw, and everypony else had to watch out for her or receive a pillow in the head. Most of the times she'll catch the pillows sent in her direction, but sometimes one would smack her in the face and she would lose precious seconds to stand up on her hammock again. Everypony was having a lot of fun. Until … – CRASH !!! – a pillow landed in Mojo's supplies of trade goods. Whirlwind watched with horror her projectile slowly fall on the delicate jewelry, the costly lamps, the important whatever that was the hippie pony's livelihood, breaking the fragile stuff, making a mess out of the rest. It was the pink pony's fault – she was the one who did most of the throwing, the others were happy enough to hit each other with the pillows. And it was her pillow, anyways. Whirlwind, once again, had paid no attention to what she was doing. After many silent seconds, the filly looked at Mojo, clearly ashamed of herself, and quickly blurted out “I-I'm sorry. I, I'll pay for the mess !” before dropping her gaze to the floor.

I tend to answer slowly ( = it can take a few days), but if that's ok with you then I'll gladly roleplay with you ! As for what I do when I want to start a public rp on this forum ; I pick one of my characters, I create a scene that serves as a starting point, I find a title, and I add (open) in the title. Anything can work : I have a subject with my character Moondrop where she just woke up early and went to the park to watch the sunset, where she met AppleNitrox's pony. I have another where my pony Whirlwind exhausted herself and is rescued by Mojo's band of ponies. As long as you stay in the MLP universe, it's fine ! And when I want to join a rp that's already started : I send a private message to all of the participants (or contact them on the chat) asking them if I can join in, and if they all say yes, I introduce my character with a reasonable situation that would have made her come in. That's it I guess !

Moondrop the white unicorn listened to the music. It started with a fast pace, building some seemingly simple melody that must have been very complicated to play, then slowed gradually, ending with a couple of long notes, and settled into the silence. It was beautiful to listen. It reminded Moondrop of what she used to listen when she was young ; the large instrument would not have been out of place in one of those marches. The musician earth pony turned toward the unicorn and greeted her. She seemed quite happy to meet somepony else. “Hello Beauty Brass ! My name is Moondrop.” the albinos unicorn presented herself. “Nice to meet you too ! There aren't many ponies who take the time to enjoy the sunset. It's great to see that I'm not the only one.” She chuckled gently. “You're a very talented musician. I've never seen that instrument before, but I've already heard it on my parent's records. What is it ? It sure looks … big. Isn't it heavy to carry around ?” Moondrop was a very curious pony. But her stomach growled, interrupting any other questions. Sitting close to Beauty Brass, in the grass of the park, the white unicorn opened her saddlebags and took her breakfast out. It wasn't very fancy ; she had prepared a fair amount of flower sandwiches, and had some tea in a metallic bottle that kept the liquid warm inside. However it was more than enough for one pony, as if Moondrop had taken care of having food for guests as well. “I'm sorry, it's usually the time for breakfast for me.” she explained. “I like to eat outside in the parks, before I have to go home. It's not much, but would you like some ?” she proposed to Beauty Brass, happily sharing her food.
