Typically the mare would have been staying at home idling for the whole day, but on the contrary, this was not one of her "typical" days. It was the day, however, that Ballad was journeying around Equestria. Ballad was not exactly a fit and athletic mare, but, she thought, she did need some adventure and excitement. At least her friends won't tease how she wasn't getting enough fresh air. This was her chance to prove that she could at least do something big. She had prepared for this for days; the whole idea on joining into this particular journey in the first place all started from when Ballad saw that poster. It was strange how one large sheet of paper can influence ones mind. In an instant, she considered taking part of the trip around Equestria. She soon began to be involved in her own self-conflicts regarding on getting involved on the journey, eventually making a final decision on the matter. Ballad had supplied herself with essentials- that is, canteen, rope, binoculars, flashlight, alarm clock, matches, soap, can opener, scissors, notepad...whatever it was, it was clearly too much. During her own personal "journey" to Canterlot, she had several ponies stare at her. After only getting halfway to Canterlot, she was already panting, and she scolded herself. Tired already? If I can't even handle a short distance trip to Canterlot with this, how can I even survive the actual journey? Dang it, go faster! When she finally arrived to her destination, she immediately searched for the first seat she could find. Plopping down on one of them, Ballad threw her baggage on the ground, and collapsed in exhaustion. [colour=#daa520]"I... haf arrifedt." [/colour]Ballad said, raising her hoof weakly.

The end of 2013, a bit before winter in the Northern Hemisphere.

Nopony is the worst, considering even the most corrupted souls aren't all that bad. Maybe Diamond Tiara was afraid of being cheated by other ponies because she's the "rich one" that she decided to manipulate them herself in her past. Silver Spoon is probably the bystander of everything who thinks she's more popular by hanging out with an evident bully. Twist is most likely just a misunderstood filly; maybe she doesn't clearly know what's actually happening between the CMC and the "two bullies" or the shame of Applebloom not having a cutie mark. Featherweight was probably blackmailed by Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon personally to force himself to take embarrassing pictures of the CMC. He may have just been a victim, and lied to get out of trouble. Perhaps he might have some guilt when he gets his "Editor" occupation. Blueblood maybe did not understand what a true gentle...stallion? does for a lady despite his level in society. He is just used to being served in royalty that he doesn't even know he should return the favour. And Trixie...she's not that bad. In Season 3, she did have a change of heart, though the times have changed. Maybe most bronies' opinion have changed now. There are many more possibilities; I'm just stating some of them. They might not be what they actually seem.

Penstroke- Honesty Carom - Loyalty Skewer- Generosity Servante- Laughter Ballad- Kindness (pretty difficult on this one, considering she doesn't really fit into others; this is the closest I can get.) Long Drive- Loyalty Traverse- Honesty

That's terrible luck! Well, nonetheless, we hope you enjoy your stay at Canterlot! Perhaps you can consider remaining here.

Her previous hopes that the spa ponies would take care of the issue were changed when she heard the snoring turned into screaming. This frightened Ballad. Oh no...what if the snoring pony is in trouble now? Why didn't I see it in the first place? She immediately got out of the tub and bolted out of the hot spring to the mud pit where she saw the elder mare before, coming to her "rescue". [colour=#ff7e00]"Miss!" [/colour]she said as she saw the pony, in fear and remaining in a corner. [colour=#ff7e00]"Are you okay? Do you needt some help?" [/colour]Before she could wait for her to reply, Ballad had already run off to find the spa pony for help. Maybe I don't know what to do in this case...but one of them might know. They might have been busy doing something else they didn't notice the poor mare! The first place she thought they could be was the lobby. Swiftly she galloped there, and there she saw one of them. This one looked different from the one who originally served her; her first observation were that their mane and coat colours were "switched". Perhaps they are twins? Nonetheless, she shouted to the mare, [colour=#ff7e00]"Help! A mare in de mudt pit is in trouble!"[/colour]

Roleplay Type: World of Equestria Name: Penstroke Sex: Male Age: Stallion Species: Unicorn Eye Colour: Red violet ([colour=#c71585]#C71585[/colour]) Coat: Taupe Gray ([colour=#8b8589]#8B8589[/colour]) Mane/Tail: Cool Gray ([colour=#8c92ac]#8C92AC[/colour]) His mane is messy and straight. It is also long, extending to his neck. His tail, unlike his mane, is short, but still remains it's untidiness; it curls slightly on the end. Physique: A bit underweight, but of average height; his hooves are slightly longer than the typical stallion. Residence: Crystal Empire, in the Diamond Ward. Occupation: Traverse Mapping employee, Calligrapher Cutie Mark: A calligraphy brush and pen, intersecting and forming a cross. As a colt, he was fascinated by art; it was visually appealing and beautiful, if not anything else. (His artistic taste was catalyzed most likely by his father's occupation as a painting restorer.) Penstroke had his first glance at calligraphy when his father and he visited Stalliongrad Museum, where his father worked in; it was there that he saw old script calligraphy that the museum had stored. He was immediately astonished; art that took on the form of letters! He had decided to experiment into this field. It was then that he knew calligraphy was not as easy as it seemed. It required precision, dedication, and a good deal of practice. It was something that could not be accomplished within a few weeks time. The work was tiring an grueling, but Penstroke persisted and studied to further understand calligraphy. There were different styles of writing, along with several terms and certain rules to make words look aesthetic. One day, the Stalliongrad Museum was bringing in new objects into the museum. The employees there wanted to celebrate this event; when Penstroke heard about this, he decided to make a banner for the event to surprise them. He went to work at once, using his calligraphy skills to attempt to create his "masterpiece". After working for day and night, he had finally finished the banner he had been working on, and brought it to his father, who was at that time working at the Stalliongrad Museum. Showing his finished work to his father, he was rather disappointed that he could not present the banner at the special event; another calligrapher before him, who was more experienced than Penstroke, had already finished it before him. He was a bit sad about this, until his father commented that he actually liked the banner more than the one that the museum calligrapher made. Brightened by this remark, he had promised more of his work to come in the future. It was then that his cutie mark appeared on his flank; he was unaware of the appearance of his cutie mark until he was told by his witnesses. (which included his father) History: Penstroke was born in Stalliongrad; son to a father, who worked as a painting restorer and employee of the Stalliongrad Museum, and a mother, who works as a historical researcher- he does not have a sibling. Both of his parents are unicorns. He was born into a prosperous, though not quite wealthy, family, and in his early years lived in the Chenya District of Stalliongrad. Due to the area he lived in, he was expected to do well academically by his parents. Penstroke, however, was more interested in art than he was in school; he still did fairly well in school, but it was just that the subjects it focused on did not interest him as much. Having a blank flank didn't bother him much; he believed he would get his cutie mark eventually, one way or another. Plus, not everyone in his class had one yet. After he got his cutie mark, however, he got himself into getting tutored from a professional calligrapher, in which he hoped to visit as much as possible. Penstroke even became friends with his instructor. Sadly, something happened that changed his life; his parents had already decided that they have to move to Trottingham because his mother was hired into an another company in which believed was more profitable. Moving was difficult for the colt; he had to leave his friends in Stalliongrad behind. He had realized that Trottingham was very different than Stalliongrad; it was warmer, more populated, and "different" mannered ponies. Penstroke lived in the southern parts of Trottingham; he also took his secondary education there. There he had a fresh start, making new friends (one particular example is his neighbor, Carom) and adapting to life in his new environment. In his adult years, he had decided to move back to Stalliongrad himself, moving from job to job. This continued until another event occured; an unusual mare arrived into Stalliongrad asking for directions. It was later revealed, after befriending her and getting into a conversation, that she was actually a cartographer who had arrived here from the Crystal Empire- which had seemingly disappeared from existence for more than a millennium- to visit the outside world and to also bring some updated maps to Stalliongrad. She was also establishing a mapping company. Astonished by her tale and noticing that his skills can come into use (as he can use his calligraphy skills on maps), he decided to join her mapping company and move to the Crystal Empire. There, Penstroke was amazed by the place- he was here to stay. Penstroke still continues to remain in the company and make maps with his "partner, though he does return to Stalliongrad, his original hometown, and Trottingham, where his parents currently reside. Character Summary: Penstroke is a pony who is straightforward and direct; he tries to hide nothing and is concise, or short and to the point. His philosophy is that he should always see the big picture of things, and the smaller details can be left for later. Time should not be wasted on something for too long. He tends to be more impulsive and conventional, doing what should generally be done and follows the "crowd"- Penstroke thinks that the actions and belief that are most accepted are the ones that are usually correct. He does have his limits, however; he is aware when a general belief or action is logical and reasonable and whether he should follow it or not. In a way, Penstroke is an idealist, thinking that the "perfect" possibility can be be achieved. He always sees the best of what happening, because in reality, he doesn't want to be put down by the negatives of issues, fearing that it would affect his will and efficiency on things. Penstroke is also has a persuasive tongue, though he sometimes uses it to get other ponies to do what he doesn't feel like doing himself. This results in accidental and unintended harm or damage or getting himself into trouble. He also has a bit of a flirtatious attitude. In his leisure time, Penstroke listens and collects music records and practice his calligraphy skills, occasionally creating his own calligraphy fonts. Secretly, he makes up fantasy stories using maps with himself. (Nopony knows...yet.) ((This is my first non-Crystal Pony in the Crystal Empire. And first Unicorn OC, too. ._.)) Picture:

Will be leaving starting on June 14 (in California) for probably four days due to visiting my home in San Jose. I may have connection, but if I'm inactive, you know what I'm doing. Might not affect much.

A professional random talker.

It's ANOTHER Derpy from ANOTHER dimension! I shall call him...Mirror Derpy. (The others are Original Derpy/Derpyy, Alternate Derpy/RetroDerpy, Flatland Derpy/Monochrome, and H. G Derpy/DerpyHoovess.) Welcome to Canterlot, 5th Derpy!

I've been thinking of it, and noticed that the GE North section of the Greater Equestria (WOE) hasn't been posted for six months. I was considering reviving it, but want to know if that section is still open; it doesn't seem locked, yet it remains untouched for months. Also, is it still okay to have history related to there for my OC? I have seen that the Lore and World Archive is quite outdated (as a person before me had been answered that the section is not very reliable), but is the Stalliongradthread still reliable? Plus, does areas outside but nearby the Crystal Empire count as GE North? (If such a place were to be RPed.) I am asking this because I have seen RPs take place outside of some cities or towns (such as Ponyville).

(Sorry for the inactivity.) Ballad was now inside the spring; her hoofbag in which she had previously been bringing to the day spa was now stored someplace where it could not be affected by the steam. A while ago, she had some problems. At first, she was a bit nervous about entering the spring itself, as it was a bit...too hot. She was basically putting her hoof in, then taking in out after the few seconds, repeating this process until she had the wits to just hop into the spring, noticing that it was not as hot as it seemed to was. After a few minutes remaining in the hot spring, she had admitted that it wasn't that bad at all. Maybe they were right; she needed a break once in a while. She sighed in relief, closing her eyes. Her rest didn't last long, however, as she heard a small noise. She woke up, glancing around shortly until Ballad decided that it was just a minor disturbance; nothing to mind too much about. She returned to her sleep, only to be, once again, awaken by another noise. What was it? Was something broken inside? Ballad was beginning to get a bit annoyed. Was there something broken? Or was it another customer was that was apparently disrupting the order in the spa (remembering what Lotus had said.)? She had decided to find out for herself, leaving the hot spring and opening the door. The noise was revealed to be somepony's snoring. It's just nothing, Ballad assured herself. Nonetheless, the loud snoring was irritating, and she closed the door afterwards to barricade some of the sound. Ballad didn't feel like disrupting another pony's sleep, let alone their time at the spa. Maybe the spa ponies would take care of it.

New people always interest me. She is no exception.

Persuasive on her views, humorous at times, a bit...fiery (is that the right word?) at times. If she was able to deliver a speech to the public, it'll probably move my heart and brain. Plus, she's a smarty-pants, not to be flattering.

I honestly have no idea; I barely see you now and then.

^ RP posts are sometimes a bit short, but overall, I think she is optimistic and quite exciting to be with.

To Hinata, I very much like to thank her; she may not know it, but she is the reason I came to this site in the first place. I've seen her from another site, and tracked her name (from Google) to here, Canterlot. If it wasn't for her, perhaps I wouldn't have met all you people. Best wishes to the MCF roleplayer, and I hope you meet new friends like us to wherever the wind takes you. From the person you may not know, TehBbqdPizza

And, I must say, it has also been a pleasure to meet you, too. In the chat, you've been an excitement, yet kept order when needed. Good luck on the future, and keep on roleplaying, Expo (nent). -TBP
