"Danka, fraulien!" Professor Krashkop said as he began to eat. The observant older stallion then saw Shanna and Hoss being served. "Ja! I knew Starbright! She vas vone of mein best students! I alvays knew she vould go far in dis vorld! Und dee two of you are her foals? Dat is vonderba!" The hungry Professor soon ate his donut and drank his coffee. He smelled the food the twins were enjoying. "Hey vaitress! I vant vhat day are having! I am so hungry I could eat a dragon! Vait, no I couldn't, ponies don't eat meat und besides dee ting vould roast me to a crisp! I almost go roasted a short time ago. Let me give you two youngsters some advice. NEVER try to test homemade dragon repellant vith yourself as dee test subject! If I hadn't flew so fast, dat dragon vould've burnt mein tail. As he spoke, small puffs of smoke began to float in the air behind him. "Vait a minute! I am in dee No Smoking Section of dis restaurant, ja?" Little did the Professor know that the tip of his tail was still ON FIRE!

I travelled to the city of Charleston, West Virginia Tuesday and I was on the third floor of an office building when the earthquake hit. The building shook a little, but not enough to knock things off of shelves or anything like that. I was told that back home (I lived about 40 miles from the Virginia border) it shook worse but still no major or minor damage. A neighboring county called for a 'state of alert', closed all the schools and alerted emergency services to stand by.... but all that was unnecessary. So, at least in West Virginia, we had very little damage from the quake.

(ooc): No problem! You know German better than I do! With the dizziness finally wearing off, Prof. Krashkop began to scan the menu set before him. "Let me see.. oatmeal? Nein! Had oatmeal yesterday. Scrambled hay vith a side of hay fries? Nein! Not in dee mood for hay. Apple danish und coffee? Ja! Dat iz vhat I vill start vith! I vould like an order of apple danish und coffee. Do you have any house specialities, fraulein?" The green Pegasus glanced over, noticing the twin Pegasi that had just entered the cafe. "Guten Morgan dere young vones! It is a beautiful day! Say! You two look familiar. Ever attended classes at Canterlot University?"

With all due respect, the CURRENT FiM Cast list shows Snails as 'Available': viewtopic.php?f=17&t=2020 Apparently, the previous appilcant either surrendered him voluntarily or did not follow the Cast rules and lost him that way. The accepted app is months old, and I think this is why Boss is asking the question.

Well, aside from MLP FiM, mostly I like the sports commentary shows on ESPN (Outside the Lines, Jim Rome is Burning, Around the Horn, Pardon the Interruption). I try not to miss those Monday thru Friday. One TV show I WISH I could watch but isn't on with my cable system is the old "In The Heat Of The Night" series with Howard Rollins and the late Carroll O'Conner. It's not even available on DVD anywhere!

"Pleased to meet you, Zecora," Misty said timidly, with a sigh of relief in her voice. The Everfree Forest? She now realized she was really off course. Seeing the panic in Pinkie Pie and the concern in Zecora's voice, the petite unicorn wanted to help out. "Maybe I can help!" she offered, walking outside where Pinkie Pie stood. "If your friend is lost in the forest, maybe I can make her a beacon to follow!" Closing her eyes to concentrate, Misty's horn began to glow. Her intention was to magically create a flare that would light the way to Zecora's hut. Instead, when the yellow unicorn opened her eyes, it was she who was glowing brightly. "Oh my, that's not what I was trying to do," Misty said, shaking her body to stop it from glowing. "I'll try again." Once more, she closed her eyes and her horn glowed. This time, it was Zecora's hut that began to glow brightly. "Oh no no no no no! That wasn't it either! Gotta fix this fast! "Oh no no no no no! That wasn't it either! Gotta fix this fast! Oh, I wish the lost pony would appear here right now!" When Misty stomped her front hooves in frustration, her horn glowed brightly once more. Instantly, Zecora's hut stopped glowing and Applejack magically appeared in front of them. The yellow unicorn's eyes grew as big as saucers when she saw what her magic had just done. Now Misty was afraid again, not knowing how the orange pony in the cowboy hat would take the news that she had been magically teleported. For that matter, was this pony the one who was lost, or did she accidentally summon somepony from somewhere else in Equestria? She swallowed nervously and smiled, only managing to utter a short, "Hi!"

"Now that's a humdinger of an idea, granddaughter!" Granny Smith neighed happily. "You can even bring yur pa along if'n he wants to come! The more the merrier!" The gray maned mare was so happy, she briefly kicked her heels up like a young foal. "Love to show ya around the farm, Raindrop! We got apple trees as fer as the eye can see! You can even play with Wynnoa, Applejack's pet dog! She's a big help during critter roundups! We don't often git visitors out at Sweet Apple Acres, so we'd loved fer you and your pa to come. If'n ya got anyone else a-helpin' you move, bring them along too! Me and Applejack can cook enough to feed an army! Whatdoyasay?"

Granny Smith nodded with satisfaction at the group of fillies and reptiles around her. The elderly mare is caught off guard by the fast talking energetic pink pony nearby. "Lands sake, Pinky! Did somepony fill your feedbag with sugar?" the lime green mare asked before giggling. "Foals today!" Now Granny Smith directed her attention towards CookieSweets. "Did I hear tell that you're a baker? Great way to git established and popular with ponyfolk! I can remember when I was a foal and other ponies laughed at me cause of my name. I decided I'd show'm all and entered my homemade apple pies into a Pie Judging Contest at the Ponyville County Fair! No one could believe that a foal as young as me could've one First Prize, but I dunnit! Got my cutie mark that day too, along with a lot of respect! Keep on baking, kido!" Then the gray maned mare walked over to Skink. "Youngin', I have badly misjudged you and your critters. I hope you can forgive an old gray mare that ain't what she used to be. Don't think I could buy one of them thar reptiles to take home. My granddaughter Applejack's dog Wyonna don't take too kindly to strange critters she can't round up or corral. If'n ya do run into any stripey snakes, use my stare on'm! Works every time!"

(ooc): I think we should allow MyLittlePonyTales to post here again before we proceed any further. Then it'll be Applenitrox's turn (as Beauty Brass) and then mine.

Well, I'm not Help Staff or anything like that. The only reason I mentioned it was because (a) I was confused by the name and (B) I'm Sheriff Silverstar's 'player' on the RP board and the Sheriff's never been married. If the Help Staff and Admin's are OK with the 'Silverstar' name here, then I have no authority to ask you to change it (nor would I use it if I did have it).

Have to ask the question. Is the 'Silverstar' that's Silversong's dad THIS Silverstar? If he is, there may be a problem.

"If you’re finished your tea, you got a mission to complete, Wings," Mojo said. "Gotta go tell Whirlwind’s folks where she is." "Can you make it to Cloudsdale and back before the storm hits? Starflower asked. "The weather could get very bad up there in the sky." "HEY! This is Jubilee Flyer you’re talkin’ to!" the young Pegasus shouted proudly, "I may not be a champion speed flyer, but I’m still plenty swift in the air! And if any rain clouds give me trouble, I’ll kick’m out of the way! Don’t worry, Whirlwind, I won’t let you down. Be back before you know it!" "Be careful out there, Wings." "Here, wear these goggles," Starflower said, using her unicorn powers to float a pair of goggles from off one of the walls of the wagon up to the hovering Pegasus. Jubilee slipped them over her eyes, gave the ‘thumbs up’ sign with her left front hoof, and then flew out of the wagon and up into the sky. "Good thinking, Star! I forgot that I carry goggles in my inventory." Mojo said as he turned towards Whirlwind in her hammock. "No worries, miss. I built this wagon watertight. We’ll be safe from the rainstorm in here." "I’ll need to spend the night here too," Starflower said as she stood up and was now eye level with Whirlwind. "Now to answer your question. Actually, I’m a nurse, not a doctor. And I developed a love of nursing when I was very young, even younger than you, I’d wager. It all started when our family began to care for a ill pony in our home. I stayed by his bedside nearly all day and night until he was strong and well enough to leave. During that time, I got my starflower cutie mark. That was the day I realized I was destined to a life of helping ill or injured ponies get well. I’ve been a nurse for a long time, even founded a pony clinic in my hometown. There’s nothing to be embarrassed about, Whirlwind. The important thing is you’re safe now and with proper rest, you’ll be as good as new very soon!" "Listen to the nurse, love. She knows what she’s doing. Looks like I need to get three more hammocks out of inventory and set them up. There’s enough room in here for the four of us to sleep comfy cozy." "Wait a minute, all of us together? Sleeping in the same room?" "Don’t have a choice, Star. I’d offer to sleep outside, but it’ll be raining hard all night, so that’s out of the question. If you’re afraid of me, not to worry! All of us will be in hammocks, so no possibility of hanky panky here! I’d NEVER reproach a lady, my parents taught me better than that. Besides, Whirlwind’s a guest, Wings is my best friend in the whole world and like you said before, Star, you’re old enough to be me mum, so I won’t be trying any funny business with any of you gals, right? Wings trusts me, and so can you and Whirlwind." "Well, alright Mojo. I suppose that under the circumstances, we should all stay together. But if you DO try anything naughty, you’ll need a doctor when I get through with you!” "No need to make threats, love. That’s not cool. Chill out! Think of this as a slumber party at a friend’s house!” "Slumber party? Good! Then Jubilee and I can give YOU a makeover!" "Hey! That don’t jive with me! I’m Mojo, not Mare-jo!” "Just joking with you!” the tall purple unicorn mare laughed, causing Mojo to laugh with her.

Thanks for the clarification! A few of these ponies look promising, I can easily see them as OCs in RP!

Some of these ponies have NOT been identified in the cartoon series yet, does this mean these COULD be Season 2 MLPs? And if they are 'REAL' ponies, could they be considered CAST if anyone applies for them?

(ooc): Let's give Buxy and Marnax a chance to 'catch up' before we go any further. if they don't post in the next few days, then I'll take a turn again.

Respectfully, I beg to differ. YouTube exposure actually HELPS increase the value of Hasbro's product. Not all homes in America (or the world for that matter) have access to Hub TV, so the eps on YouTube give the opportunity for others to experience the joy and magic that is MLP FiM! I have heard stories in America about Business Exectutives in three piece suits watching MLP eps on their PC's at airports! I know when I first discovered the show, I watched the eps I missed on YouTube to catch up! Secondly, the availability of eps on YouTube help to 'wet the appettites' of consumers to BUY the eps when they come out on DVD. I, for one, looks forward to the time Hasbro will release Season 1! Sure, I have all the eps recorded, but still, who WOULDN'T want to buy the OFFICIAL Season 1 when it comes out? The sheer fact that the Hasbro execs are AWARE of the near cult following the show has garnered is a tribute to the strong internet presence the show had maintained. You'd think those execs would want to ENCOURAGE this trend rather than DISCOURAGE it. It's not about 'stealing intellectual property', it's all about 'selling' the product, the product in this case being MLP FiM.

While Sheriff Silverstar looked down angerly at the yellow filly, Louise LaMare fell for her 'cute innocent look' routine hook, line and sinker. "Of course you may come with us, young lady. You're probably too young for coffee, but we can see if Madam Bistro serves milkshakes." "What in tarnation are you a doin', Miss LaMare?" the mustached stallion protested. "This troublesome filly rushes in like a freight train and knocks me fer a loop and then ya wanna gits her a treat? I never heard tell of such a thing and.. " Arrow Plain's 'cute and innocent' facial expression stopped the sheriff in midsentence. The kind hearted lawpony couldn't resist her charm, and soon broke out a big smile. "Well, I reckon thar's no harm, no foul. Come along, youngin'!" he said as the entire group walked across the street and into Madam Bistro's place where they received a warm greeting from the propriator, asking the Sheriff and Louise if they wanted their 'usual.' "That will be fine, thank you," the brown Pegasus said with a grin on her face as she turned towards HoneyThread. "And dining on the deck is an excellent suggestion!" "Sounds absotivily good to me, Miss Bistro," Sheriff Silverstar said before receiving a playful nudge from Louise. "Oh yeah, and how about a milkshake fer the youngin', my treat?" Louise now turned towards HoneyThread. "Have you lived here long? What do you think of life in this wonderful town? I'm a relative newcomer here myself. I hope I can fit in with the rest of this fine community of ponies." The Sheriff then walked over to Maximilan. "So ya wanna buy property here in Appleoola? Thar's plenty of wide open space in our lovely town. But I gotta warn ya, anypony buyin' land outside of the town needs ta keep good relations with our buffalo neighbors. They own a heap of the land surroundin' Appleoosa. We hadda run-in with Chief Thunderhooves and his tribe a while back. Lucky fer us, the Chief loves the taste of apple pie! He don't take too kindly to singing pink ponies though."

Misty calmed down when she heard Pony Joe's response to Big Time's comment. She then looked in wonderment as Saddlesore stopped at the door and stared at the unicorn's glowing horn. Only now did Misty look up and see her magic had been activated. Now fear paralyzed the young mare as she pondered what to do next. "OH NO! It's happening AGAIN!" she neighed, placing both of her front hooves over her snout and backing up into a corner. She was scared to utter another word, remembering how her words accidentally changed Saddlesore into a crab, a mule and a huge donut. With the mere speaking of one wrong word, Misty could change all the patrons in the dining room into sheep, or teleport the entire restaurant into the Everfree Forest, or even change everyone in Canterlot into giant walking donuts! Panic set in as she tried to stop her horn from glowing. Suddenly, her face brightened as she got an idea, removing the hoofs from her snout to speak. "I wish I knew how to stop my horn from glowing!" Misty proudly spoke, causing her entire body to glow briefly as she magically received the knowledge in her mind she needed. "Now I know what to do!" She closed her eyes and in a matter of seconds, her horn stopped glowing. Now the yellow unicorn breathed a sigh of relief. She then turned towards Pony Joe and said, "I'm so sorry, maybe I better leave now." The sad faced Misty then turned towards Big Time. "Sir, I do thank you for the kind offer, but if I can't control my magic, performing in public would be too dangerous." The yellow unicorn began to walk out of Pony Joe's, her head drooped, fighting the urge to cry.

I did, because you can never, EVER depend on Youtube! I wonder if Hasbro made this move as a proactive step towards the release of Season 1 on DVD? That's the only way this move makes sense.

I LOVE the classic Doctor Who, not as big a fan of the NEW series though. Originally, regeneration was written into the Doctor Who script as a 'plot device' for replacing the lead actor (the Doctor) in the series. If I remember my history correctly, the first doctor got very ill and had to step down from the role. 'Regeneration' was the method they used to introduce his 'new form' (and the new actor in the lead role). Since then, regeneration served as a convenient way to transition departing 'Doctors' from the series and new 'Doctors' into it. In the new Doctor Who, it seems the writers have incorporated 'regeneration' into an expanded plot device in the series, and I suppose that's a good thing. Now, in the CLASSIC series, all TimeLords (Galafrey wasn't 'blown up' back then) were shown as either male or female humanoids. There were no 'alien' or 'furry' regenerations ever seen. Don't know if that changed in the modern series, but historically, all TimeLords were human in appearance. Theortically, I supposed it IS possible for a TimeLord to regenerate into a different species, but even if that were so, who's to say if that 'species' would be from Earth? The universe is a big, big place, y'know. One must not be too earth-centric in our thinking, right (even though the writers of the Doctor Who series were and still are to a degree)?

Saddlesore smiled as he reached for his coins. "Take away will be fine, thank you." the blue earth pony said before shaking his head in stunned disbelief. "Did I say, 'thank you'? Something must be wrong with me. Better go see a doctor." Misty's head was still spinning with conflicting thoughts as she pondered Big Time's offer for stardom. Her mind came back to reality when she saw how the brash stallion's remarks about Pony Joe's donuts affected him. Now her countenance instantly changed from excited to angry. "Wait just a minute, Big Time!" the yellow unicorn said defensively. "You may be a powerful talent agent, but you have no right to insult my friend Pony Joe like that! His donuts are plenty filling and delicious! When I lived here in Canterlot, I'd come here after school everyday for one of his wonderful donuts!" Now Misty was visibly upset, so angry she didn't notice that her horn was glowing again. "I demand that you apologize to Pony Joe this minute!"

(ooc): It’s been seven days since I sent Holypony20 a PM asking him to take his turn in this RP. Since my PM hasn’t even been read, I’m assuming he’s away, so I’m taking the next turn to move the story along. Mojo glanced over at Beauty Brass and then up at the still hovering Jubilee. "Hear that, Wings?" Mojo asked his Pegasus friend. "Beauty Brass plays classical tuba, and you’re speciality is classical piano! Maybe the two of ya can jam together sometime." "Hey! Great idea!" Jubilee shouted as she fluttered over to Beauty Brass. "Whatdaya say? I haven’t played much classical stuff since my days at the Music Academy." "Let’s set our minds on the task at hoof, please," Starflower interrupted. "We’re here to help Miss Scratch select the music for her next show." "Chill out, love! Me and Wings will get right on it, right Wings?" "Be back in a flash with the tracks!" "Wonder where this store keeps the Jazz albums?" Starflower asked as the three ponies frantically made their album selections and brought them to Vinyl Scratch for her approval. Meanwhile, back in the area where Fox was playing, Misty Magic continued to be enthralled by the young mare’s excellent music. "Never have I heard such wonderful music!" the young unicorn shouted as she closed her eyes and swayed to the beat. She was unaware that her horn was now glowing and that she had unwittingly triggered her magic. As her horn glowed, it produced a spectacular ‘lights show’ directly above the crowd that pulsated to the beat of the music Fox played.

YAY!!!!!!!!!

(ooc): Here comes your first customer, the absent minded professor himself, Clyde Krashcop!" Flying above Ponyville was a green Pegasus stallion with white mane and tail. An older pony, he was far away from Manehattan University, where he had been a Professor of Applied Engineering and Physics for nearly all of his academic career until he retired for the quiet life of an inventor. Though he had his Doctorate, few ponies ever called him "Doctor" Krashkop. Most affectionally addressed him as 'Professor' Krashkop, even when his antics were comical. Today, Dr. Krashkop was in a great hurry and went into a 'power dive' towards the town. The green Pegasus with the beaker cutie mark began talking to himself in his slight German sounding accent. "Ack! I am lucky to have gotten avay from dat dragon! Vhat a time to discover dat dee dragon repellent I invented vas not vorking dee vay it vas supposed to! I am such a dumbkoff! I must had made a mistake in mixing up dee formula last night.." As Professor Krashkop continued to talk to himself, the distracted Pegasus failed to see the large pony statue in the middle of the town square. CRASH!!!!!! Seconds later, the green older stallion came to a halt on the head of the statue. Passerby were shocked at the sight of Professor Krashkop's sudden landing that caused a few of wing feathers to land on the ground. "Vhat a silly place to put a statue! Vhat a nasty ka-knock I got on mein noggin for dat vone! Oh vell, time to eat, mein stomach is rumbling und dat means I must find substanance!" As the elderly Pegasus climbed down off the statue, he spotted the sign of the Ambrosia Winds Cafe in the distance. "Wunderba! I vill go dere now!" the Professor neighed as he galloped over to the entrance, still feeling a little dizzy from his flying accident. When he walked in, he spotted Savory Spell. "Guten Morgen fraulien! I wish to dine at dis fine establishment. May I trouble you for a menu?"

Done! Just trying to emphasize the fact that this dude's old. Not quite 'Granny Smith' old, but old.
