Fantasy couldn't help but laugh a little, at that thought [colour=#800080]"No kidding? Certainly an admirable goal!"[/colour] She looked up, following his gaze, before adding [colour=#800080]"But hey, if you were a royal guard you'd be holed up in Canterlot most of the time. All work and no play and all that. "[/colour] Out of slight habit, she started to count the stars, but very quickly lost count at the sight of a shooting star amidst the first twinkling lights in the sky. In a moment of glee, Fantasy let loose a squee. [colour=#800080]"Haha! A shooting star!"[/colour]

Pausing in thought, she felt an odd twinge of remorse, as she watched it dash between the stationary dots of light. She couldn't help herself, and although she didn't stop smiling, a few uneasy thoughts raced through her head. Hesitantly, she spoke up [colour=#800080]"Hey, Darkness? Do you think shooting stars ever envy the stars that get to stay put?"[/colour]

So, it would appear as though I have only a few RP threads going on, but with my newest addition of an OC and a few sitting on the sidelines, I've been itching to get into a few more.

That said, I would prefer to use my most recent character, Hugo

Long story: http://www.canterlot...-griffon-ready/

Short story: He his a circus strong-griffon by day, secret poet by night, and he feigns being less intelligent then he may be. Mainly, he's rather intense with his own sense of honor, which is just a tad outdated, but he adheres to it like glue to more glue.

I have a few ideas jostling around the old noggin, but nothing set in stone, so any ideas are appreciated.

That's more or less it. Feel free to reply down below, no fancy forms needed.

Fantasy awoke to the gentle poke, and sleepily listened to Darkness. Before registering what he had said, she noticed he was curled up against her, but in a just-awoken state, she didn't question much besides a contentedness of the situation. With that done, she blinked at Darkness before turning her gaze towards the whatever Darkness wanted her to see, before looking at the sun set. Upon seeing it, she smiled at the dimming sunlight, looking up at the skies.

[colour=#800080]"Is the day really almost over? Not to say anything bad of course, but I must say, I've always preferred the night to the day. Less things get in your eye, and the stars are just awe inspiring." [/colour]She continued staring at the sunset, watching the brilliant colours of red and orange and even a little pink. [colour=#800080]"You're right though - it is beautiful."[/colour]

Smiling, she watched the sun's descent next to Darkness. She must have lost track of time looking at it, as when she caught her thoughts again, the sun was very much close to completely setting.

Fantasy watched curiously as Darkness fell asleep. She looked intently at him for a few seconds, as she felt her eyes get a little heavy herself. Watching him yawn, she of course had to yawn herself, and before she knew it, she too was fast asleep. It was hard not too, after all, the area was rather welcoming to that sort of behavior.

Loved this episode, perhaps one of my favorites of the season, really. Course, that may be the whole just-watched-it-two-minutes-ago thing, so I wonder if my opinion will change as I look back on it.

But anyways, things I liked

-Luna. Luna Luna Luna. A thousand times Luna!

-Rainbow Dash's snoring cracked me up.

-Return of the demon face trees. Shame Scootaloo wasn't around for giggle at the ghosties.

-Sweetie Bell's campfire song, and the immediate passing out following it. I'm suprised she managed to get through it all.

-I did d'aawww with Scoot and Rainbow towards the end. it was hard not too

A solid episode, really. They are doing lots of throwbacks to privious episodes, what with the stories of Rarity's encounter with the dreaded gravity.

You call those hunks of metal Cybermen?

My wall calendar ends on December 31.

By this same logic, that must be another end of the world.

Egads man! You're right! We must prepare for the double Apocalypse!

Unless... maybe the world ends on December 21... and the 31 is the end of the end of the world... so everything just kind of ceases to exist for ten days before coming back.

Oh, ello ello!

Don't feel bad about the whole lurker thing. I myself scout out most forums for a week or so before even joining, just to digest everything. And for characters, well, doing your best is better than less than the best, for doing less than the best is oft not better off than bettering the best you set off to best in the first place.

Back to the happy-fun-times greeting, Welcome ter Can'erlot! May your days be parasprite free and full of... I don't know. Cake, maybe?

Oh dear me, I almost forgot about this one. I can't say I haven't played much LoZ games, but this was the first.

And the best

(Okay, I'm nostalgia blind. Sue me. You'd fail. 'Cause I'm right)

Fantasy, who was quite enjoying staring out into the lake, was somewhat oblivious to Darkness scooting closer. She didn't really notice it, so of course she didn't really react to it, but she did hear him speak. After all, they were right next to each other, so it would be rather hard not to. Taking a lazy second of thought, she responded back.

[colour=#800080]"A quick nap?"[/colour] Another content pause [colour=#800080]"I see no reason for why not, so there must be a good reason for. Very well, A nap it is!"[/colour] She turned to look at him, still not noticing the distance he closed in, and seeing as how she hadn't really quite stopped smiling, she merely directed it towards Darkness. Resting her head on the grass, she figured that sleep would evade her for a while, so she kept her face turned towards the pegasus.

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.

after experiencing what i experienced today, i would not have a problem with the memory of being kicked as long as i knew it was for this purpose. so please?

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!

Can I have your liver then?

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.
