"Now after getting a feel of the ring, focus your energy into it and will something magic-like to happen." Gear sat back and smiled, oblivious to Rainy's blush and apparently anything else around him.

now you can. I'm on minute 11. checking back for updates every 10 seconds.

"Definately. And with a bit of help from a kind unicorn, I've been able to create something I call a 'manadrive', an objest used to simulate magic." Gear said, pulling out a small ring with a brightly glowing amethyst on it. "This one is a pegasus manadrive prototype. It fits on a pegasus's wing." Gear stuck the ring onto Rainy Splash's wing. "Like so." He said with a smile.

Short Stuff is a him. However, the shape of his head, specifically the nose, is the normal shape for a mare.

As I said, quirky little touch.

Looks like a him with that mane

"Yes, the last time I was in Ponyville, I saw a griffon! Said her name was Gilda or something? Anyways, I used her as the model for my newest design!" Gear Grinder pulled out a blueprint of a mechanical Griffon and laid it infront of Solven.

Gear Grinder sat down next to Bright Idea, as he would later learn, and begen a long and lengthy description about trains and nearly everything possible to cover. [but of course I don't know stuff like that, so let's just skip that part]

"But the engines! Oh, a Train's engines! A couple of ponies I know in Canterlot and I designed a train that would go from Canterlot all the way to Stalliongrad!"

Gear Grinder fumed. "My name's Gear Grinder. The ponies call me that back home because they think I'm crazy."

-"Hello Dark Spark. I'm Quicksilver." The pegasus said.

"Hello ponies," Gear said to the bunch talking about the train. "I couldn't help but overhear your convrsation about that wonderful piece of metallic bliss you call a train. Anypony had any thoughts about design, mechanics, train schedules, exiting and entering the train, etcetera?"

A pony completely canon to this story overheard what Gear said about the train. "What did he just say?" He said to his equally canon and unimportant marefriend.

"Oh, that's just Twisted Gear, honey. Don't mind him."

Unluckily that mare was a b--ch, and purposely said that loud enough for the cafe group to hear it. Gear Grinder seethed under his skin from hearing his nickname, Twisted Gear.

"Flak Cannon, Equestria's dying, and we are asked to help it! Or we could walk out the door and join the war!" Goldenmane reported to her lieutenent, Flak Cannon.

"I told you, it's Desaria! And there's always a war to fight! If Equestria dies, then the wars wil stop! Count us in!" Flak Cannon replied, standing at attention.

Flak Cannon, Lieutenent General and unicorn and Goldenmane, First Seargent and pegasus reporting for duty!

darnit. i might as well kick a messenger down a deep hole.

A crash and an explosion was heard from inside the bakery and a silver-grey pegasus flew out, who crashed into Dark Spark. "Watch where you're going!" He said before flying off. Almost.

"Wait... who are you? I've never seen you before!" He said.

who is this thing that can prevent my snuggles? i must defeat him. speak!

Congratulations on finding your way here, SquareZack. This is a forest of madness and home of many interesting ponies/creatures that I will not list here to save time. You know who you are. Please make yourself right at home, our tea tray bearer isn't around at the moment. You will have to get your tea and nibbles yourself. I am SilverSwirl, an authority on older gems such as Streets of Rage and Shining Force.

wah?

Last post wins?! Okay, my post is [currently] the last one! I WIN!!! :D :D

"Well, those changelings did manage to hurt Canterlot quite a bit. It took me a while to repair my shop, which is now mostly metal. I also constructed a mechanical griffon to aid me with the shop. He's there now, while I..." Gear grimaced. "Have no fathomable idea how somepony could request out of town mechanics and not even state a name or location! Very irritating." Gear's ears perked up at a conversation somewhere else. "Are those ponies talking about the train?" He asked nopony in perticular. "Let's go see what they want to do!" He gestured towards the group of ponies just outside a cafe and began trotting to them.

[Meh, please. Sometimes turns can be cool, but not in this situation. yes, break]

I read/write for a living. I love long posts. Unless the characters are in a conversation. It can drag on sometimes.

oooh goodie long posts !

Darksteel enjoys cruelty. Please continue [eyes turn purple]

hmmm endangering Stitches while locking Darksteel up. That would activate his protective persona, but since he can't do anything... yeah!

And silk thread would seriously back up from that. [hit the nail on the head]!

Darksteel becomes protective when faced with failing,

raged when faced with stupidity, ignorance, and a better competition,

fearful when faced with nothing to do, and

sadistic when overjoyed.

So to make Darksteel afraid, just put him in a dangerous situation where he has no choice but to curl up WITHOUT introducing competition, danger to somepony else, or making him cocky.

Silk is afraid of sleeping. [Note she makes an anti-sleep remedy for herself.] And nightmares.

Well I can make a deer and just introduce Dawn later in the rp
