[colour=#0000ff]"Of course you did. You clearly were somepony who excelled in a trade that required significant thought processes, quick reflexes, multitasking, working under pressure and/or spontaneity. In other words, you were chosen because you were good at what you did. So, the way out is through a series of test chambers, each of which is challenging and advanced for your skill level. So, if you want out, get testing! This chamber may need some explanation, though. I'll go through it quickly; allyouneedtodoissecureacubeusingthebuttononthefloorandthenplacethecubeintoaportaltoknocktheturretofftheledgeandontoanotherbuttonopeningthedoortothenextchamber.[/colour] [colour=#0000FF]The last subject broke the door, so just walk through without worrying about an emancipation grid. But don't take anything..." [/colour]

"The written word, it's a powerful thing. But you must always be careful with words, Meggie; elseways you'll get lost in them and never find your way back." - Mortimer Folchart, Inkheart "Mortimer, be quick, be clear or I swear I'll disinherit you." - Elinor Folchart, Inkheart [colour=#b22222]"What's that sticky stuff called?"

Oh my! I'm sorry! Didn't mean it!

I don't think so (no offense to Rarity). She repeats herself many times in the series about how she would give (just about) anything to reside in Canterlot. Remember the Grand Galloping Gala? She went nuts over that! Also, when she was living in Canterlot for a short while she was making every excuse to stay longer, almost missing Twilight's birthday! (What am I, advertising the episode or something?)

Can't be. If that were so she could've just moved to Canterlot before she even met Twilight by selling her gems.

Gems are worth something like their weight and how good they look, probably, along with how rare they are. The bigger and better the gem, the more you can barter for it, I think.

I agree. It's like buying things with money if money was only worth what you argued it to be.

[colour=#0000ff]"What's taking so long, subjects? Go on! Before you all get blown up or something! Fly, you fools!"[/colour]

I'm not a bad cook, but I once broke a toaster with a bagel... without turning the toaster on. Nice to meet you.

[colour=#800080]*Sigh* "Like I said, Digi, AAraY has control now. He's the one monitoring and controlling everything in the facility. The reason we're all in this room is because the pony in charge of turning AAraY on slacked off. He's dead now. Happy?"[/colour]

[colour=#800080]"I! You! Di-urgh! That wasn't me! That was AAraY! He's plugged into the building now! I- AAraY? NO! I don't want to- NO! I don't need frieeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee-" [/colour]​Shadow fell from the ceiling, appearing from behind a panel and being caught by a mechanical arm under his control from the wall.

(I wanted to make a point.) [colour=#0000CD]"Eghehehehm, attention to all test subjects! I have decided that to keep things challenging, there will be a race! The first one to test chamber eleven will NOT be emancipated by an experimental portal to outer space. Also, in the name of fairness, each pony must also carry around an unarmed turret friend through each test, without destroying him. The only ponies excluded from this rule are the ponies travelling through Aperture labs alone. Enjoy!"[/colour] At that point it was that a turret with a blue eye dropped in between Digi, Talonwing and Light [colour=#008080]"OH! You're my new friends! Hello! I'm DM Series U-03. You can call me Idle."[/colour]

[colour=#0000cd]"Shadow! Have you been making friends with the other cores? [/colour][colour=#0000cd]I've always said you needed more friends!" [/colour][colour=#800080]"I don't need friends, I need the blasted pony to show up and activate your variable testing procedures so you'll stop being so... stupid." [/colour][colour=#0000cd]"You mean integrating me into the mainframe? Yeah! OH! Is that him over there? On the catwalk just outside?[/colour] [colour=#800080]"Indeed, there he is."[/colour] (After AAraY is integrated into the mainframe he will have full facility control as far as the test chambers are concerned, so be ready for when that happens. Wouldn't want anyone's OC dying because they weren't careful. Think Borderlands, guys! Common sense! One does not simply melee the giant creature's legs.)

AAraY awoke from his mandatory training procedures, Seeing as how he was programmed to allow the subjects half an hour of training before coming online. [colour=#000000]A large surge of low noise burst through the whole facility and all the panels lit up blue. [/colour] [colour=#4b0082]"NNgh. I hate that so much. So much pointless melodrama." [/colour][colour=#0000cd]"You're virtually no fun, did you know that, Shadow? Anyway, I love doing this. It just feels right to be addressing the test subjects on a wide level and watching their reactions." [/colour]The next words were heard facility-wide, [colour=#0000cd]"Welcome, subjects! Welcome to Aperture labs in facility... I can't remember! I can see that at this point you're finding your way around the basic portal training areas simply enough and that all training cores are operating nominally! I shall list the only two rules; Do not damage the portal guns, and do not bring test specific objects with you. Try not to explode, and good luck!"[/colour]

helps to make a backstory I am teh rowboat (AAraY) so what I do is what you make of it. (ex// [colour=#0000FF]A turret appears and you deal with it somehow, good luck!)[/colour]

(yeah, we're open, go ahead. looking forward to more people, then.)

Wubs up, everypony? This is my very first blog post [colour=#ff0000]EVER [/colour][colour=#000000]so I don't really expect too much out of this. For starters, I noticed that my friend was going darklordfoxhousenuts whenever he got a reply to his blog, so I figured that maybe there was something about it. So vroom goes the Skarmory; let's talk! [/colour] [colour=#000000] [/colour][colour=#000000]I'd like to point out that the new spoiler for the end of season three doesn't phase me in the least (Don't go screaming what it is in a comment; others might not want to know). I just figure that every single time they break the story they end up fixing it eventually. That's my only onion on the matter.[/colour] [colour=#000000] [/colour][colour=#000000] [/colour] Anyone else love the game Castlevania Curse of Darkness? WusSAT? On the original XBox! You know? I didn't think so. If you're one of them who does know what I'm talking about, then do this If not, then HOW DARE YOU!? The music is effervescent and fits perfectly to every single setting. Except Cordova Town. What's with that place? Whatever. Also, you know that weapon system? The one where you can make your own weapons (and armor) with stuff you get from the enemies that you have slew throughout your journey? I that! So many awesome weapons that you can create and so many rare ones, too. You have to play the game a certain way to get those. It's great! Okay to wrap this up, I want to make a request to any awesome artists out there willing and wanting to showcase their talents and want to get it out there! I would love to receive [colour=#0000cd]ANY [/colour][colour=#000000]drawings, colourings, paintings, stencils, to show to my friends on the everywhere. I'm all over the place and if I get a drawing nearly everyone ends up seeing it. Also, if anyone draws a Saint Germain pony then they get [/colour][colour=#008080]S[/colour][colour=#008080]P[/colour][colour=#008080]EC[/colour][colour=#008080]IAL S[/colour][colour=#008080]T[/colour][colour=#008080]UFF [/colour][colour=#000000]from me personally. (I make music, I draw, and a whole bunch of other ehgencengsn sgdhs, but my real passion lies in poetry, if you can see that being remotely associated with a big manly man of manliness like me [/colour][colour=#000000] = [/colour] [colour=#000000].[/colour]

[colour=#000000](This [/colour][colour=#0000ff]blue text [/colour][colour=#000000]is AAraY speaking or thinking something)[/colour] [colour=#0000FF]"Wow, I should've just dangled some hay fries in a bowl above a pit of toxins and stuff." [/colour][colour=#000000]At that point the door opened and a turret stood there [/colour][colour=#ffa07a]"Oh hello!"[/colour] [colour=#000000](Take that, thread-ender)[/colour]

...NEAT!
