Zeal

The pony cast a baleful eye upon him, and he smiled slightly in response to her apparent sudden friendliness. "Let your grievance be known, and I will assist you, as is my duty.” It was an odd sort of question, even for a pony being deliberately formal. Nevertheless, it was a sound one. What exactly did he want here? Sketch was puzzled. This was hardly how he had expected her to react to such a turn in his manner. Even so, he liked the new tone; rigid, military words intermixed with a certain warm tone. The wind turned to blow from behind her now, a slight scent of wet hair reaching his nose along with a mumbled word, barely audible amongst the invisible and grasping fingers of the cold wind.. "...Sketch." As he heard this, he chuckled, and his usual smile returned to his face. She must like his name. The thing he needed more than anything else right now though was a guide, he still knew so little. He hesitated. This mare was a soldier, no? Perhaps she could help him more than anyone. He glanced up. The clouds were behaving themselves for the moment. He took a breath in, regaining a more "usual" tone of voice. “If this beauteous mare could tell me of this beauteous land, it would certainly help” he said, smiling widely now. He pointed a hoof at her lazily, his eyes regaining their usual mirth and warmth. “We should not speak here though, and not now, my lady. At your pleasure, may we find somewhere inside?”

Most daylight EST hours are a-ok by me. I don't have engagements or appointments other than what I choose to do.

Manly Sea Eagles activate!

I have done voices before in games, and have years of experience in modelling, level design, technical and creative writing. However, unless you need a male voice I can't be of much help, as I've only done female voices occasionally before and everything else there save perhaps creative writing is not particularly useful. As for the voice acting though, I can do F1 - D5 in singing, and F1-F4 or so in voice. I've always liked Celestia Radio because the announcer sounds like me, go figure. Give me a buzz if you want something.

I think the episodes are only getting better and better, though they have a very different feel to the first season. This one in particular I liked because of the variety of themes and decent writing. I suppose a Luna comparison is inevitable though, so I may as well spit it out. I was happy with it. She acted exactly as I would expect her to given her situation and context, yet was deep enough to emote without contradiction of character. Well executed. It's probably been said somewhere in here, but I wish you ease in the re imagining of your application, Tales. I'm sure you'll have all sorts of new fun with the character. On a different note, did anyone else see a pony dressed as a Spy?

Sounds fun. If there's a decent magic class with some level of utility, I might give it a shot. (I have a lot of experience in role playing, though recently it's mostly been w40k)

The mare laughed as he spoke, the merriment seeming to build up into a crescendo and vanish all at once. It didn't bother him, it was merely of interest. What had she found so funny? She then muttered something swept away by the wind, her wild green mane floating behind her softly by the same. Sketch was reminded of a memory long ago, of lines of white sheets drifting carelessly in a golden field, and a warm smile… He quickly shook himself; no, not now. "Take the cloak I left behind," she said, snapping him out of his stupor. That's right; he was pressed for time. He sighed, inwardly cursing his somewhat absent-minded nature. He then watched as she put on her sword, a small well of panic building up inside of the unfortunate stallion due to what he might refer to as “prominent situationality.” She wished him good luck, laying stress on his ambiguous name, and started to turn away as his mind raced. Would it be wise to simply let her leave? He had come this far, and introductions and names can be hard to come by. Before she had made more than a couple of steps, he had made his decision. “Be warned; names carry a lot of power.” somepony once told him, their voice lost in the folds of time. “For ponies of our kind, a name can be extremely simple, or a deep insight into one’s soul.” He shrugged, for while this advice was no less true then as it was now, he possessed a less revealing name then most; or at least less obvious in it's meaning. “Sketch” he said, loud enough that she could hear clearly. “That is my name.” He looked out to sea, comforted somehow by the muted colors and crashing sea, certain that she was somehow aware of how much it pained him to say this… “I… require your assistance." he said, his voice dropping slightly. He glanced sideways at the pony facing away from him. What would she do?

Oooh, fun. I work in Games Development in Concept Artist and Quality Assurance. My usual art is much better than the rubbish I post here, but I'm just starting out drawing in the FIM style. When I'm not doing that, I'm a published novelist, and I write from my house in Manly. It's quite beautiful, and I enjoy both of my jobs to the fullest. I'm actually writing something now, you're going to love it.

Ouran HSHC finished, now what's next on the list... No joke. ...I liked Ouran HSHC.

If I remember to watch it, sure. Sounds fun~
