River

Who's Mr Ed?

Oh that's cool Maybe we could just merge or something. A fair's the only thing I can seem to come up, but then there's always lots of stuff to do at a fair. Picnics as well- I really love picnics. It's a bit early and slow to be thinking of this, but I was wondering how it would be as a mass RP kind of thing. No posting order, lots of ponies and general chaos ^^ Just like a real fair? Haha, or is that too disorganized? And yay! Haha, travelling all the time sounds fun :3 Though yeah, I suppose constant travelling would take a hefty chunk out of her wages o:

So I was thinking, since Trottingham has the lake, wouldn't it be fun to have some sort of fair day? I dunno, it's just a little something because I realized there weren't a lot of Trottingham threads out there in the Mane RP. We could have boat races, performing troupes and individuals, food (FOOD), and little booths and games for the little ones. IT WOULD BE FUN! Anyone else on board with this idea?

[/colour][colour=#282828]River watched the exchange between the two warily, her turquoise eyes flickering back and forth. Unconsciously, she gravitated closer to the mare, for she seemed to be much nicer than the stallion. She jumped when the stallion turned his attention to her, fiery gaze and all. What was he saying? Dimension? It all seemed like a dream- nightmare more like. It was quite obvious now that they weren't ordinary ponies, but what were they then? At his questions, her hoof reached for the saddle bag out of pure habit, but it met nothing but her flank. It was then that she remembered she had left her saddlebag behind, and with it her quill and her notebook. How could she have been so stupid as to leave those behind? She never went anywhere without them. Her eyes darted around wildly for something that would help her, and they landed on a stick. Just as she moved to pick it up, another pony barreled into their group, causing the stallion to snap at him.[/colour] [colour=#282828]River shoved herself out of the way just in time and she watched in amazement as the pegasus laughed. He didn't seem to be one of them, and that made her relax a bit more. At that, she felt the corners of her lips quirk up into a tiny smile in spite of her fear. That was pretty funny, she had to admit. [/colour] [colour=#282828]OOC: Sorry for the wait ^^"[/colour]

It had all been a mistake, she shouldn't have gone out alone. Earlier this day, her older sister had promised to take her for a walk by the lake. However, something came up at the shop and River Song found herself with the prospect of spending the day all alone. She first spent a good portion of her time by the lake composing songs, but eventually more ponies arrived and it got to noisy. The filly had ventured further down the banks past her usual spot. Often she had heard tales of the forest that bordered the South end of the lake but River paid them no mind. It was a sunny day and she had been looking for a bit of shade and peace. Deciding that the forest would be an ideal location, she wandered in with her pipe, leaving the saddlebag slung around a bush by the lake. The forest was a change from the tranquil waters of the lake. It was more quiet, though the pleasant birdsong did sound every now and then. It inspired a different melody in her, and she once again let herself go with a new tune. River didn't know how long had passed, but when she looked up from her pipe, she was startled to find that the woods were dark. The small path that the teal blue filly had followed was nowhere in sight. Panic surged up within her and she quickened her pace, berating herself mentally. How could she have let the time go unchecked like that? And dear Celestia, Coral would be freaking out by now. River tried to look for any signs of ponies, but there were none. And it wasn't like she could call out for help. Being mute hardly phased her, but it definitely did frustrate her now. As if in answer to her prayers, there was a faint murmuring of a crown from ahead, probably in a clearing. What were ponies doing out here anyway? It didn't matter- she was saved! Letting out a silent whinny of joy, River trotted forward eagerly. Then something odd passed over her. It felt as if water trickled over her back, and she was dry. Then the dizziness struck. It lasted only for a few seconds, but it was enough to disorient her. When she cleared her vision, she was stunned to find herself in a mass of ponies. They seemed to be different, and darker in a sense. Chills ran through her body as she met the eyes of a stallion. He looked positively furious- and he was heading for her. River's eyes widened as he trotted over to her, a mare by his side. They both wore murderous expressions that made her stumble back a few paces. Who were they? Had she done anything wrong to warrant the apparent anger from those two? As they neared, the height difference became more prominent, what with her just being a filly. That didn't help her nerves one bit.

[colour=#008080].:Ri[/colour][colour=#008080]ver Song:.[/colour] River scanned the list she held, pausing for a moment at the pavement. Her elder sister was having a rather busy day back at the shop so the filly had taken it upon herself to go buy lunch. The list was meticulously penned in her own hoofwriting and already half checked off. All that was left were to get the muffins. She knew there was a cafe somewhere here that her sister loved to buy from, though River herself had not frequented it yet. It was not very often that the filly liked to wander into the more touristy areas, for she preferred the calm of the lake side more. Just where was the cafe again? She swiveled her head around, brushing away her dark blue mane as it got into her eyes. There was a small commotion up ahead as some other mare ran into another stallion, before rushing into a shop. The whole scene was rather amusing and River found herself chuckling silently. It was then that she noticed the name of the cafe the mare had rushed into. Her eyes lit up and she trotted forward, remembering this to be the place that her sister had mentioned. [colour=#008080]I[/colour][colour=#008080]t should be the one, shouldn't it? [/colour]Anyway, even if it wasn't, the smells wafting from the door of the shop were positively heavenly! After folding up the list carefully and returning it to her saddlebag, River entered the shop. Immediately the sounds of merry chatter and the scents of assorted food washed over her, giving the place a nice atmosphere. River drifted over to the counter, studying the menu for a bit while the stallion before her made his order. What would her sister like? She could always get the chocolate chip. You can never go wrong with chocolate chip. With that decision out of the way, River retrieved her notebook and quill from her saddlebag before writing down: '[colour=#008080]Two chocolate chip muffins please. =)' [/colour]River knew that she might have gotten some curious stares, what with her being a mute and all, but the filly was used to it. it didn't bother her much, and why should it? It didn't hamper her excessively, and she still had her music.

Would this still be open for joining with an OC? ^^ Or am I way too late? =P

Hey! Welcome to Canterlot ^^ And ouch, what happened with that last site sucks The closest I've ever come to experiencing that is when a forum I rp on closes .-. Still, hope you have a great time here ^^

Was

"That's weird," The mare remarked. "Cakes just don't come alive and roar. Maybe some unicorn was playing a joke on you two." "Well, Cinnamon left all the ingredients and the cookbook here for me." Just to make sure, Desiree checked through everything. She paused, however, when she came to the almost empty bag of flour. "Though we may be a little short of flour." Was it possible to make muffins without flour? Or perhaps there would be some sort of substitute. Perhaps Cinnamon might have a storeroom or something. "Why not you start with the rest first? I'll go look around for the storeroom." With a somewhat harassed smile, Desiree skidded out of the kitchen.

Hey! Welcome to Canterlot, and I hope you do have a great time here. C:

"Rainbow Dash cooking? That must have been hilarious to witness." Desiree giggled, stepping back into the flour covered kitchen. With a jerk of her head she gestured to the (thankfully) mostly unharmed ingredients on the counter. "I'm helping Cinnamon with her Triple Chocolate Muffins, but I wouldn't mind a bit of help with the cleaning and the cooking. If you don't mind that is!" The earth pony started to wipe off the windows with a hoof as she looked back at the unicorn. "Could you start with the counters please? I'll go on with the floor next. Then maybe we can finally start baking." She chattered animatedly while she worked, only pausing for breath or to wash the cloth. "... I mean, you can't just plant the flowers next to the cactus, it looks plain weird! Do you get who I mean?" The mare by nature was a chatterbox, and often wouldn't stop talking unless she wanted the other pony's opinion or was told to be quiet. Wether it was a curse or a gift, she hadn't figured it out yet, but it certainly meant that when she was around, there would be no boring or awkward silences. "Well, it looks like the kitchen's clean, so we can get going with the cooking." Desiree surveyed the now squeaky clean kitchen with appreciation and headed to the cookbook. "So uh, what do we do first?"

Thanks for replying so quickly I've made the changes, elaborated a bit more in the history as well as tweaked the magic part a bit. Hopefully the app is better now ^^

and

Why can't you use a dictionary?

Desiree waved a hoof in front of her face as she trotted through the mess in search of a broom. She found one and looked about the kitchen. Where to begin? If she cleaned the floor first, the flour from the counters might fall onto the floor and ruin what work she had done. If she started with the counters, and anypony kicked up the flour from the floor... Sighing, the mare decided to start with the windows. As she raised the cloth to the glass, she caught an unexpected glimpse of a partially obscured pair of eyes outside. Desiree shrieked in surprise, stumbling back a few places. It was a few moments before she managed to calm down enough to open the front door. "Sorry about that, you scared me quite badly." She apologized somewhat sheepishly as she smiled at the newcomer. "Anyway, what brings you here? I'm afraid that if you're looking for my cousin, Cinnamon, she's at the talent show." Desiree remarked, standing aside to let the mare in- if she dared to come in, that is. "About the mess, you caught me at a bad time."

I would love to bring in an OC, Crystal Dawn. C: I don't have a character app for her though. She's just another personality I'm trying out ^^

River paused in her playing, the notes dying off as she lowered the pipe. She had the odd feeling that somepony was staring at her. Warily, the filly lifted her head to glance around the lake. There, by the pegasus with the magic books, a mare had detached herself from the bunch and had her eyes on her. River tilted her head slightly, wondering why. Am I disturbing them? She mused, before shrugging. I'll just play softer then. Lifting the pipe to her lips once more, she continued the melody where she had left off- only softer so as to not bother the others.

I've edited the formatting accordingly, and tweaked her character and history accordingly. ^^ Ready for inspection, sir! (Or ma'am, whatever suits. ^^)
