TheInvisiblePony

Fantasy gave a polite nod. [colour=#800080]"Well, if you insist."[/colour] then took a few steps towards Darkness and lying down next to him. She left a small gap between them, unsure of how to proceed, so she figured a hoofstep or two of distance would be good. As she sat down, she gave a content sigh before finally finding a comfortable position to sit. Then, of course, because yawns are as infectious as a smile, she gave one of her own.

Again, Fantasy gave a slight chuckle, this time at the thought of Darkness' described situation. She honestly didn't know what she'd do in a situation like that. Maybe just sit around for a while and take it all in, more or less what she was doing in the first place. She matched his own smile, seeing as how it was a little infectious, and replied [colour=#800080]"I suppose meeting ponies would have to be one of the benefits of being alive. Not that I'd know what the benefits of the alternative would be..." [/colour] She gave the idea a bemused thought or too before dismissing it. Somehow a bunch of ghost ponies throwing a small little get together came to mind. [colour=#800080]"Well, regardless, an excellent tale to go with an excellent setting."[/colour]

Fantasy nodded, mildly concerned at the prospect of Darkness slipping into a river and hitting his head on a rock, but she nodded intently. Certainly an interesting story, she had to admit. Besides, he was obviously okay. [colour=#800080]"I suppose that certainly makes sense."[/colour] She looked around the clearing, wondering what it would be like to just wake up here. Certainly there were worse fates.

((Oh dear Celestia, how does my computer actually derp hard enough to triple post? I apologize ))

((yeah, part of a triple post mishap. Ignore the first two of these))

Despite herself, Fantasy giggled a little.[colour=#800080] "Hate you? After all that's happened?"[/colour] She smiled reassuringly, before giving the other problem some thought. Perhaps that little laugh cleared up her mind, but Fantasy's head certainly cleared up enough to enable that thought. What would they do? Fantasy blinked for a while, wondering if they were over thinking that question if not just a little. [colour=#800080]"Well, talking seems to work fine, or at least it certainly has before hoof."[/colour] Sitting down in a fashion similar to Darkness, she continued "So... you mentioned finding this place from upstream. How does one with wings fall into a river to begin with?" She gave a curious, if bemused glance, as she waited for a reply herself.

So I think its fairly obvious at this point to say that we're all safe. That said, if the world did go, not saying that it would, at this point I think it would be a cumulative apocalypse. Cthulhu would rise from his underwater slumber, Godzilla would ravage Japan, global warming would flood the world as penguins with hairdryers melted the ice caps, both the Mayan and Aztec gods would come forth to wage war against the non believers, the wonder twins would do whatever they very well felt like doing, about a half a dozen evil scientists would create so many technological horrors so quickly both Hal9000, the Terminator army, and that evil robot from Wall-e would be created, and the world would be ruled by the 28 horsemen (four for each continent). Oh, and let's not forget the thermonuclear war resulting from Laputa floating over Atlantis as it once again rose from the depths in an attempt to take world as it once had ruled. Of course, Laputa had also ruled the world for a period of time, so that would spark the conflict, and because of the movie rights involved, Disney would side with the Atlanteans while studio Ghibli (already on Laputa - remember they had to flee from Godzilla) would take this opportunity to get rid of the competition.

If Fantasy froze up from simple hoof-holding, a full on kiss had her absolutely stunned. As Darkness took a step back, Fantasy took several moment just standing there unmoving, just a little shocked, or perhaps caught off guard Slowly, her blush grew as she stood there unblinking, until her face was once again an intense shade of red. Not that she wasn't happy. In fact, that was probably the first thought to cross her mind as she stood there. That she had actually enjoyed the kiss, much more so then her little peck on his cheek. Eventually, she blinked as, like a tidal wave, thoughts crashed through her head following the first one. Through it all, she managed to stammer out a response. [colour=#800080]"N-not at all! That was just, well, a first time experience."[/colour] She stood there, somewhat relaxing into a less frozen pose, as she gave a small slightly nervous smile. [colour=#800080]"It was nice. You're nice- wonderful, really."[/colour] Mentally, the even kept replaying, how he had actually kissed her (no matter how many times she mentally repeated the event, it was still just as shocking). She had quite a bit to thank this stallion for, if for just being as perfect as he was. She had been around Equestria several times, to the point where the ruins were just starting to overlap, but this was new. And wonderfully so.

^ This. I do this all the time. I always wonder what its like to not think of something. It just is odd to look back on a day and think of what it was like to not think of something I wasn't thinking of five minutes ago, or an hour ago.

Oh, if only because you said please. Now, if you don't have any memories of a random person kicking you as a thirteen year old, chances are I kicked the wrong person. But I'll certainly try! I apologize, I'm rather fond of my liver. I even named him Larry. Larry the liver. Yes.

Fantasy blinked as Darkness wrapped his hoof around hers, her face flushing quite a bit. She didn't look down at it, but rather she froze in thought for a few seconds as her mind raced ahead of herself. Although she didn't look at it, she still felt his hoof and more or less focused entirely on it. It was certainly warm, but mainly it queued her in on how close the pegasus was to her, to which she hadn't really realized until that point. Perhaps she was aware of it, she had scooted closer herself after all, but the actual touching of hooves was a realization. Now, of course, there was what happened next, which was what she was thinking about while she blushed so intensely. Should she nuzzle a bit in, maybe attempt a kiss, or would that be too much? It didn't seem that way, but then again this was all new territory for her. Then it occurred to her that it was indeed all new territory, or a sort of adventure, and as such she felt another intrepid surge as she realized adventuring was one thing she was good at. All this was only a different kind, of which she was becoming enormously fond of. With this in mind, still blushing intensely, she leaned in and gave a very quick peck on Darkness' cheek. Not long at all, but she felt it was very courageous of her given the scenario. That was more less all her little surge allowed her to do before she realized what she had done, and she backed up a step and blushed even more as she gave a slight panic. [colour=#800080]"I'm sorry! That was too much, wasn't it? Oh dear..." [/colour]

I'm actually curious as to how magic duels work in Equestria. Are there actual rules, or perhaps an association of magic duelists? And when they did duel, it was more of an attempt to one up the other's spells then actually engage in magical combat. I mean, yes there was the snow and pies and weaponized parasprites, but Trixie eventually won by casting a spell on Snips and Snails (Whom, I must admit, I wasn't looking forward to seeing this episode). Or maybe it was Twilight's failure to replicate the spell. Also, Twilight chastises Trixie for cheating by using an amulet, then goes and cheats herself by using deception. Kinda odd, really. Not that I'm complaining, it was still rather fun to watch. And more importantly, when Twilight said 'Let's dual', why did I get the strangest feeling she was going to pull out a deck and engage in a children's trading card game?

Good episode Also, Fluttershy was, once again, absolutely adorable. I also laughed at Trixie's faceplant, at the end. And now magic can be used to break the fourth wall. Interesting.

Well, maybe. But then you'd have a negative opinion of me for kicking you when you were 13, and that wouldn't get us anywhere. Not to mention it would cause all sorts of problems with the wibbly wobbly time sphere.

YES. ALL OF MY YES. Someone get me tickets to North Korea and get me a trowel and brush. Maybe a cool archaeologist hat.

Enos was perhaps just as ecstatic as Sapphire seemed to be, and he'd have to lie if said he wasn't a bit flattered. He was very nearly overwhelmed by such an enthusiastic compliment of his magic, especially after not very many ponies seemed to notice it. Perhaps this was the first of many, but regardless there was quite a bit of pride going around. He listened intently to the singer, determined to make a good impression. Kinda hard to do if you miss part of a conversation, as Enos had the misfortune of knowing personally. Extending some manners at this point was the least he could do. [colour=#696969]"Well, its not often I get so praised for a magic as today, it would seem, so a compliments the least I could do."[/colour] He blinked as her stomach growled, and then remembered about the food. Gah, why are details so hard to remember? Ah well, he reasoned, he knew now, so not much harm done. Following her, he continued listening, and nodded at the request. 'Violin, you say? Shouldn't be too hard...' Lowering his head again, he spoke up, not wanting the spell to be missed or catch her by surprise [colour=#696969]"Very well then, a violin it is!"[/colour] His horn started to glow again, this time quite a bit brighter, and quite a bit stronger, as Enos struggled to catch the vibrations of sound just right... and... Haha! It wasn't too complex, as he had said, in fact he only managed to get one note out, but it was unmistakably the sound of a stringed instrument. C sharp, if he wasn't mistaken. Still, sounds were trickier than voices, and so at the end of the brief spell, he brought his hoof to his face to wipe his forehead. As he steadied himself (which did not take long at all) he was not suprised to find Miss Shores asking another question. She certainly was talkative, he had to admit. Enos gave a slight chuckle, before replying. [colour=#696969]"No, but I imagine if I could violin with my mouth, I wouldn't be working as the stagehand for an orchestra, but I digress. Anyways..."[/colour] As he put a bit more thought into the question, he gave a small frown as he put his hoof to his chin in thought, before happily continuing [colour=#696969]"I can't say that I sing that often. Maybe I have at some point, in fact I almost certainly have, but nothing comes to mind. An interesting idea you propose though. Maybe I'll have to give it a shot sometime."[/colour]

Gah! Question overload! Cathalos - Socks are simply so stunningly superb its almost surprisingly strange. Cadabra 1st question - A favorite candy of mine would have to be an old little thing called a Wonder Ball. Shame they stopped making 'em. 2nd question - Puns. Puns are simply so awful, so lazy, so borderline uncreative... that they're actually just as close to genius. Just as long as they aren't pun-ishable by law.

((Understandable. Thanks for the heads up)) Fantasy smiled with a blush of her own, rather intensely flattered. It hadn't occurred to her how meaningful Darkness bringing her here was, and if he hadn't said anything, she probably wouldn't have realized it on her own. But now she was very much aware of it, hence the flattered feeling. Looking down at his hoof, she scooted her own closer as well. She was well aware of how Darkness felt of her, or at least she had a good idea by this point, but Fantasy wondered how reciprocal she had made herself. Realizing that now, with Darkness' speech, now would be the perfect time. [colour=#800080]"Th-thank you! I guess after all that's happened, you're right about the 'more than just somepony'. Of course, the same applies to you as well... after all, you've even waited after I ran. A mistake on my part, I admit, but here we are. Two of a pair."[/colour] Fantasy looked at him and gave a small, content smile before looking at the same spot in the lake he had turned his head from.

Let's see... okay, I think I've got a genre of music I've never cared for. Well, less a genre, more a theme within a genre. Which is too say, pop music. Well, within pop music. Those songs that have a simple, catchy beat with borderline cliche lyrics, which is a surprising amount. Really though, its the simple beat that gets me, especially if its just a few techno notes, or something that just sounds like it takes next to no effort to produce. I like a little complexity or a measure of instrumental talent in my songs, and the lack thereof just irks me.

Kisses, easily. Haven't you had those little chocolates? Delicious!
