  1. Hover your mouse over the link and check your browser is suggesting it travels to 'www.canterlot.com' and no where else.

    If it is pointing back to canterlot.com, then there is simply a problem with your browser.

    Check. It is pointing the right way.

    To note: There are certain types of 'extensions' or browser add-ons that can change things like links to go via an ad etc. This can be considered a trojan but won't be picked up by your antivirus because you voluntarily installed and a link-change is considered very minor.

    Only one I have is the one for this site... so I doubt that's the problem.

    Just checked IE, since I usually use Chrome, and it seems to work just fine on that. Huh. That probably rules out the router.

  2. "...and twenty." The tour guides hoof came to rest on a young lime-green unicorn for a second before he continued on to tour group C. The unicorn in question was one Calliope Steammusic, builder and player of the eponymous musical instrument. She craned her neck, trying to get a good view of the doors. "Oh... I hope we get to see the throne-room... I haven't seen those windows for years!"

  3. Calliope Steammusic rummaged through her pantry, preparing to make her breakfast. However, no matter how hard she looked, not a single scrap of bread presented itself. She sighed. Without bread, she was much more limited in what she could have. After looking a while longer, she resorted to a salad instead. She would have to go to the Bakery after she ate.


    Sometime later, the Lime-coloured pony was standing in front of Pink Lady's shop, saddlebags at her sides an a coin purse around her neck. With any luck they would have at least a few loaves in stock. Gathering herself up, she opened the door and stepped inside, steppingover to the shelves to look for the bread.

  4. Paaaad. That's pretty much the only name I ever go by online. I've used it for a very long time. Anyone else remember how the personal pages on Lego.com used to look like castle towers? That's how long we're talking! The only exceptions are Youtube and Puzzle Pirates. I go by Galitwo there.

  5. I can confirm with my own eyes that the Build-A-Bear in the Crystal Mall, in Waterford, Connecticut, still has at least a few of the Pinkie Pie's in stock. I also saw someone holding a Rainbow Dash. That's not why I was there, but I still thought I'd mention that.

    Physique: Very fat, with short, flat, ears and slightly protruding eyes.

    Residence: Solstice Hights

    Occupation: Calliope Player and Builder.

    Cutie Mark: A steam whistle with a keyboard and wrench. Searching for a way to bring her two interests together, Calliope would often spend hours browsing the shelves of the Canterlot Library. Eventually, she came across one book on unusual instruments, which contained a description of the Calliope, as well as a picture of how they are put together. After several weeks of work, renewing the book twice, the instrument was done. With a fire going in the boiler, she tentatively started to play. Not only did everything work, but the instrument came easily to her. At the end of several songs, she got up to tell her parents, passing a mirror on the way... and discovering that she had earned her Cutie Mark!

    History:

    Calliope Steammusic was born as an only child in Garden Gait, living with her parents, Standard Gage and Woodwind, until adulthood. Her family was far from penniless but unable to afford a life in Canterlot proper. Her sire worked the line from Canterlot to Ponyville, allowing the family to visit the town every so often. She picked up an interest in steam power from her sire, and an interest in music from her dam, who was a small-time musician. After discovering her special talent, Calliope attended music and technical schools in Canterlot. She easily graduated from both. She remained with her parents for some time before she saved the cash for her own place in the hills behind Canterlot. Calliope now lives in a two-story brick house with a basement on the top of a hill located on the far side of the mountain from Ponyville. Her workshop is located in the basement, while the living quarters are on the top floor. She travels as often as her schedule and finances allow. She hopes to help bring the oft-neglected Calliope to the attention of the public.

    Character Summary:

    Calliope’s skills branch off of her talent with the eponymous instrument, meaning she has a reasonable grasp of all keyboard instruments, and posses a competency with boilers on par with a railway fireman. She dreams of their one-day being a Calliope in all the major population centers in Equestria (similar to pipe organs in real life churches), but realizes the impossibility of having one in every small hamlet. Her favorite food is waffles, and her favorite colour is blue. She also enjoys trains, and often watches them go by. She does not, however, enjoy excessively spicy foods, fighting, and those ever-annoying flies. She will defend herself if pressed however. Her hobbies include reading classic Sci-fi, and attending musical performances, as well as the aforementioned train spotting. Calliope avoids and tries to break up or prevent fights as often as possible, and also defers to those older than her or in a position of authority. She will, however, intervene if she knows that what they are doing is wrong or unsafe. When in a new location, she will often be looking for the best spot to put a Calliope, making her attention hard to get. She has a friendly personality overall, but dislikes those who cannot seem to stop talking long enough to have an actual conversation. When nervous, she tends to run a hoof through her mane. Although she is generally physically sound, her back sometimes becomes very stiff, making movement somewhat difficult on those days. Like nearly all ponies, Calliope has some fears. Chief among these are a slight case of claustrophobia and a healthy fear of boiler explosions, born of an understanding of the massive forces involved. As a result, she takes a second between each song and the next to check water and pressure levels.

  7. So... Yea... This is my first post here. Guess I should tell a little bit about myself... I volenteer at the local Railroad, play Dwarf Fortress, and am about to graduate from High School. If you wait, I know I have an Unicorn Adventurer in one of my old saves...
