Techno Tealeaf

Techno tucked the card into a small pocket as a big smile spread across her face, she had made her first friend in Ponyville! "Thank you Merry I'll be sure to call on you if I need anything delivered." Again her thoughts drifted to zebras and griffons. Maybe we'll meet a zebra or a griffon tonight! I imagine a zebra would be taller than a pony, and I bet griffons are even bigger!" She giggled as she chatted with her new friend. She was curious of the inhabitants of Ponyville and once she had heard Ponyville was home to some of the species she had only read about in books she couldn't help but talk about them. It wasn't really gossiping as they weren't talking about anyone in particular, but to Techno just imagining meeting such an exotic creature was exciting.

Techno tilted her head and thought for a second. "Well honestly I hadn't thought of it but maybe I could use a delivery pony for special orders." She straightened up and locked around the garden. "I heard that there is a Griffin at the gala, and even a zebra! I thought the gala was for ponies only, not that I don't like griffins and zebras mind you I've just never meet one before." She smiled as she thought of a picture of a zebra she had seen before. "Although I do like the way their manes look. Have you ever meet a griffin or a zebra Merry?"

Oh goodness I need that little Luna and Celestia for my collection, I hope I can find them without having to buy the huge Celestia. I only collect the brushable hair and blind bag ponies. It's hard enough trying to find someone with the CMC ponies that is willing to part with them.

"Oh I'm here because I thought I could introduce myself and make some friends, maybe advertise my shop opening a bit but it seems like everypony's already in conversation or busy with something else." She looked back toward the castle and continued. "I didn't think the gala would be quite as big as it is, I knew it was a big party but I never imagined anything like this! The buffet alone is bigger than my shop and loft put together." She laughed to herself before turning back to Merry. "So you're a delivery pony? That must be exciting seeing all sorts of different ponies and towns. What sort of deliveries do you make, do you work for a store or with the local mail?"

Techno blushed a bit at the compliments she was getting about her dress. "Actually I made it myself, it's really two old dresses sewn together." She lifted her right foreleg to show the Merry the small bow and little buttons on her sleeve. The front half is made from an old Victorian dress and the back is from an Indian styled gown." She turned to show Merry the back half and continued. "See it looks like an albino Peacock's tail, but their tail eyes are white not orange." She smiled a genuine smile of happiness as she spoke to the Pegasus. "If you don't mind my asking what sort of business are you here for?" She hoped she didn't come off as rude, the last thing she wanted was to have someone upset with her.

Techno jumped a bit at the sudden greeting. "Oh, hello!" She smiled at the unfamiliar pony before continuing. "I've just moved into town so I don't know anypony." She pawed at the grass nervously as she looked around. "My name is Techno Tealeaf, but you can call me whatever you'd like." She fidgeted nervously as she spoke and wondered to herself if she was talking too much or too little, she had the bad habit of either rambling or saying very little when she meet somepony new and ended up embarrassing herself but she had told herself that tonight she would do her best not to embarrass herself. She looked at the new pony's dress and smiled. "Your dress is lovely, I like how the bow highlights your figure and wings. It's very elegant."

(Picture for reference) Techno trotted out to the edge of the royal koi pond and let out a sigh. The gala was wonderful and everywhere she turned was something or somepony looking beautiful and magnificent while having a grand time with friends. She looked at her reflection in the pond and studied herself. Her dress was made of the remains of two dresses that were headed for the trash bin but she had taken them and attempted to make herself a dress worthy of the gala, her hair was put up in a bun but a few pieces had fallen out, and her orange eyes were framed by thick black glasses and a shimmering eyeshadow that complimented her pelt. As she studied her reflection she let out another small sigh. What business did she even have being at the gala? she was nopony of any importance or upbringing, in fact she had just moved to Ponyville and hadn't even finished unpacking when her invitation had arrived. She didn't know a single pony in Ponyville. She didn't want to impose on the other ponies already in conversation by introducing herself and when she had noticed a younger pony pointing in her direction and whispering to another pony and she had assumed they were whispering about her and had run to the garden to regain her composure. So here she stood on her own staring down at her reflection and feeling more and more insecure with herself the longer she looked.

As Techno stepped into the main hall her orange eyes grew wide and an excited smile spread across her face. She was a new resident of Ponyville and she hadn't even finished unpacking when the mail mare had come crashing through her window with an invitation to the gala. She wondered if she had actually been invited or if the invitation had somehow been sent to her by accident but sure enough it was her name on the golden ticket. An excited nervousness came across her, here she was at what she understood to be "the party to end all parties" and she didn't know a single pony. As she approached the princess she couldn't help but wonder why she had been invited in the first place, she wasn't famous or wealthy nor were her parents and her dress was made from the remains of two dresses she had "rescued" from being thrown away. Finally it was her turn to approach the princess. She bowed to her and smiled nervously. "Princess Celestia, Thank you for the invitation to such a wonderful party." She then pulled two small boxes seemingly from nowhere and placed them at the princess's hooves, they were two small gift boxes one wrapped with paper covered with hand drawn fireflies and wrapped with orange ribbon the other was decorated with hand drawn moths and was wrapped with purple ribbon. "This is just a small sampling of the teas I sell in my shop, there's also a box for Princess Luna. Oh but please drink the sample with the blue tea bag carefully, it's made with a little poison joke." She paused for a second before quickly reassuring the princess that it wouldn't harm her and the effects would wear off in a half hour. "It mostly changes your pelt a funny color or makes you sound silly but it effects everypony differently." Techno couldn't help but noticing everyone staring at her, she wondered if in Ponyville you weren't supposed to bring a gift to the host or hostess of a party like you did where she was from or if she had somehow offended everyone.

MudBug the fact that you used the term "Bluthian" makes you 20% cooler in my book. On topic: Could I request a picture done by you off site? I really need a "cover" for the fan fic I wrote but I'm usually too shy to request. Would you mind if I sent a PM your way with details?

I'm sorry to bump an old topic, but I've been trying to contact Doodle Dev so that I can get the money I owe to him/her. I've sent PM's and emails but nothing seems to be reaching Dev, if anyone has heard from Dev please let me know where I can contact him/her. Thank you very much.

She actually tried to blame the crash on us, she's one of those spoiled brats who has mommy and daddy pay for everything. We're going to end up taking her to court over this I can already tell. FML.

ugh ****, thats the ****ing worse, i had the scare of my life some months ago by the same cause but managed to avoid the ****ing ******* (must thank NFS and GT for the skills provided ) hope you can get out of that one somehow *hoofpats back* Luckily it wasn't our fault so I guess every cloud has a silver lining. I just don't know what I'm going to do right now, things just seem to be getting worse and worse for me.

WARNING: Cursing ahead. **** people who drive while talking on their phones. Thanks to some blonde teeny bopper who was driving while on her cell phone my car is totaled, my right hand is burned pretty badly, my right arm and neck are royally ****ed up, my face is a wreck and I can't hear out of my right ear. THANK GOD I was there to protect my little sister, she's perfectly fine aside from being scared. But **** that little brat for driving while on the phone and then having the audacity to blame US for the accident. Just NO, **** YOU **** YOU **** YOOOU. Jesus Christ how in the world am I going to pay for all of this, I just lost my job over work place politics. Just **** can I catch a break just ONCE!? I'm sorry everypony, life is just slapping me in the face right now and I just need a shoulder to lean on.

If you need to reach out, we've got a lot of bronies with their im/skype information who I'm sure can sympathize, and maybe talk about other, lighter things. Heart bleeds for you hon, but you would be right to walk away from that. Thank you, I might take you up on that sometime. Right now I'm focusing all my energy on a fanfic that needs to be finished, getting Techno's shop drawn out so I can FINALLY get the RP thread going, and my job. I'm sure once it actually sets in that he's gone I'll need a shoulder to lean on.

7 years. We were together 7 whole years and you threw it all away for drugs and your "bros". Honestly this is the most painful thing I've ever done; I love you so much, I wanted to be your wife and live happily ever after with you but today you made it painfully clear who and what you love more than me and I can't be with someone like that. You made it oh so clear that you'd rather get high, trip out, and be with your friends than hang out with me on the one day I have off. I can't believe I believed you when you said you'd propose to me when we got on our feet. I even believed it when you said we'd move out together, and the worst I can't believe I believed it when you said you loved me more than anything. I hope getting high was worth it. If anyone needs me I'll be in the corner attempting to fix my broken heart.

Well, it looks like I'm on the look out for a Big Lots in my area! I just love the little plastic toys.

I've seen the ponies with animal friends at my local Walmart. o_o Wait have you seen those ponies specifically or just animal friend ponies in general? I have the main cast already but I can't find the others for the life of me.

Here's a link to what I'm looking for. http://www.hasbro.com/mylittlepony/en_U ... src=endeca The ones I need are named Cupcake, Dewdrop Dazzle, Cheerilee, Blossomforth, and Lilly Blossom.

I would love you forever if I could get European exclusive ponies from you! From what I can tell you can buy them from a store called Zellers. I'm not sure if that means anything to you, but I'm more interested in the ponies with animal friends. Would you be able to sell those too?

Is anyone any good at drawing floor plans or buildings? I'd like to have a floor plan or a little sketch of the building for an upcoming RP thread but I can't draw buildings to save my life. So if you can help please PM me or reply to this thread, it'd be a huge help to me.

I'll be stalking this thread until commissions are open again, I love your work.

Ashi already knows this but TechnoXMocha is my OTP. o.~ I'm just kidding of course but I posted that paring as a joke on another forum and it kinda became a little joke between Ashi and I.

I answered your poll up top. My info is as follows; Female, 21, Missouri USA.

I'll bet you money I have the most expensive pets in all of Equestria ! I have 2 cats and a Parrot, and my boyfriend is adding his own cat into the mix soon. Coffey (named after Tabatha Coffey) is a white American short hair with orange flame points who was a rescue after his old owner tried to kill him and his litter-mates because he didn't want the kittens. Only he and a little female survived but the other has a good home with a loving family. I decided to keep Coffey because he's to put it nicely "Derpy" we think he has brain damage and I wanted to make sure he has the best life possible. My second cat is a Bengal (Cat not the tiger!) which was rescued from a very irresponsible breeder who can no longer own animals of any kind. A Bengal cat is a hybrid of a domestic cat and an Asian Leopard Cat (A wild animal despite the name) which can cost anywhere from $700 for a "cheap, flawed cat" to $2500 for a "show quality" cat. The breeder was selling first gen Bengals to unsuspecting buyers. First gen Bengals are VERY wild and need very special attention and care, they're more like wild animals than pets. A breeder should never sell any Bengal earlier than 4th generation, this is when the cats usually have the "wildness" breed out of them and are safe to keep as pets. But I have everything needed to take proper care of her and she now lives happily with me, although she truly is a wild cat and will never be a pet. My third pet is an African Grey Parrot (Congo breed) who will be turning 5 this year. I raised him from an egg and he not only speaks in complete English sentences he even speaks Japanese! He's practically like my son and even though it's a LOT of work and money to keep him healthy and happy to me it's worth it. He loves to eat, snuggle, and play video games with me and he can even play the DS by himself, although I always supervise him just in case. Despite what people say African Grey Parrots do not just mimic what people say, they actually understand what they and others are saying and can understand abstract concepts such as the number zero and can tell time. If you would like to know more about their grasp of language look up Dr. Irene Pepperburg, Alex the African Grey, or N'kisi the African Grey. Loooong post is long, sorry about that guys!

I have the main cast of ponies with the brush-able hair and animal companion. They're sitting on top of my TV right now looking adorable. I tried to get the McDonald's set but at the time I was unemployed and only managed to snag; Pinkie Pie, Fluttershy, Rarity, and Applejack. I was kinda bummed I couldn't find the rest especially Rainbow Dash seeing as she's my favorite. I hope I can find the others in the McDonald's set, it would be awesome.
