Halide Posted March 20, 2012 Report Share Posted March 20, 2012 All over Equestria, everywhere and anywhere she could think of it, Matchie had put out application forms for her matchmaking service. Anypony could find them, really! She had them stuffed in mailboxes, she made them available at post offices and the like. They were fairly short, and fairly quick to fill out! All anypony had to do was write a few answers here, a few sentences there, pay a bit for postage, and voila! They'd be on the list!The application is short, on slightly cheap parchment, and seems to be magically copied, if one can tell. Written upon it is the following :Hi there! Thank you for choosing One Plus Another, Equestria's choicest blind-date and matchmaking service! Just a few minutes of your time, and you'll be on your way to finding that special match chosen just for you! Please answer the following truthfully, and to as much detail as you think is necessary!Name :Gender :Gender preference (Optional) :Location :Age :Species : Species preference (Optional) : Cutie-Mark (Optional) : How would you describe yourself, physically?________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________How would you describe your personality?________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________What things in life are important to you?________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________What's your idea of the ideal first date? ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________What are you looking for?________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________Anything else you think we should know?________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________You're done!

Travels keep me fit, but that's about it.Black mane, white coat... Oh! and red eyesHow would you describe your personality?A bit out of left field, and perhaps a touch odd. What else is there to say? Oh wait, I could probably mention some of my quirks. Well, you see, I suppose questions are as important as answers. You can't have one without the other, and so I figure I'm the question to a lot answers. If that makes sense.What things in life are important to you?Why, life itself is important to me! So much left to do, and so much left to see! It's nothing but one great mystery! Traveling is important, and really just seeking out life's mysteries.

Bannhammer Posted March 25, 2012 Report Share Posted March 25, 2012 [second, and Last, character, at least, for now!]Name : Sucre BleuGender : MareGender preference: Either is fine, reallyLocation : TrottinghamAge : Young MareSpecies : UnicornSpecies preference: Unicorn, but it's not that importantCutie-Mark: Crossed Rolling pins with fleur-de-lisHow would you describe yourself, physically?Lean and short, light blue pelt and even lighter mane. I don't know what else to write. I usually keep my mane in a bun, especially when I'm working. My tail is pretty curly, so i have it braided to keep out of the way. I also have blue eyes, and I don't really know what else to put here. How would you describe your personality?Refined, refined, refined. I love all things refined, and I am too! Some call me a prude, but I think they're just mad because Ihave a little bit of standards! I'm a bit of a perfectionist, and I'll redo things over and over again until they're up to my high standards. Others call me immature, but I work harder than anypony, so they're just full of hot air. What else is there to know?I love fancy things, and I'm well versed in the very language of fancy, french. C'est vrai! Anyway, I'm running out of room, and I still have much more to write!What things in life are important to you?Quality, hard work, dedication, diligence, pride, etc... I love my work, and I take the utmost pride in my job It's a bit hard to write down these things, mainly because they have that je ne sais quoi, but I suppose I cantry. It's mostly about that feeling you get when you've tried your best, you might not have succeeded, but you know that you gave it you all. Do you know what I mean? Of course you do, you're a piece of paper. WHY AM I DOING THIS!?!?!What's your idea of the ideal first date? We go to a nice restaurant, we eat all the expensive food, we go to my place for dessert (made by me of course) and then they leave, thinking to themself that they just met the utter ponysonification of perfection itself. Then I eat whatever dessert was leftover and go to bed. Was that too specific? What are you looking for?A date A pony that has the same sense of standards that I do. I don't want another perfectionist, but those laid back ponies justdon't do it for me. I've seen enough dreamers in my time to know that while they're great for a fling, there not the kind of pony that lasts too long. I just want somepony that will support me in my work and be there for me when I'm down, I can only promisethe same. Anything else you think we should know? Nope, I just want this to be over quickly, Celestia knows I can't take too much time from my work or I'll go CRAZY. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm a music pony, so it makes sense, right?How would you describe yourself, physically?Well, I guess you could say I'm fit. I tend to burn a lot of calories from being so energetic all the time, and partying all the time, but hey. Music makes ponies dance, and dancing makes ponies smile, and ponies smiling makes me smile, and when I smile, I'm happy, so I guess smiling makes me pretty! Hehe.How would you describe your personality?Well...... my friend Bass says I'm really energetic, and happy all the time. I'm not much of a pony to judge myself, now am I? No, I've been told that I have too much energy, and that I'm always smiling, so I guess that's a good thing. I don't really know.What things in life are important to you?Music, smiles, dancing, happiness, candy, sugary drinks, coffee, lots of coffee, cake, candy, coffee, soda, sugar, coffee, and my best friend, Bass!What's your idea of the ideal first date?Somewhere where I can dance my flank off! WOOHOO!What are you looking for?Somepony who can match my level of energy, and keep up with me. Also, somepony who isn't afraid to smile. And isn't a grouch. Grouch rhymes with couch... couch rhymes with slouch... I guess if you always slouch on a couch, you end up being a grouch! I definitely don't want somepony who slouches on couches.

Lux Posted March 27, 2012 Report Share Posted March 27, 2012 (OOC: Put this in PM, but adding it here.)Sky Flare wandered through the streets of Ponyville when suddenly a piece of paper smacked him in the face. He pulled it off and was about to crunble it up ant throw it away like trash when he noticed it was a form for a matchmaking service. "Huh. A matchmaking service. Well I guess I could try."Name : Sky FlareGender :StallionGender preference (Optional) :MareLocation :Cloudsdale but I'm also in Ponyville alot.Age : StallionSpecies : PegasusSpecies preference (Optional) : Anypony is fine, but I'd prefer meeting a pegasus because you know I'm a pegasus.Cutie-Mark (Optional) : a red and orange loop representing my epic aerial tricks!How would you describe yourself, physically?_________Well I'm a pegasus as I said before. I have a white pelt like a cloud and a mane and tail that looks like flames. As far as body type, well being athletic comes with the territory of being a stunt ponyHow would you describe your personality?___________Hmm... no pony has ever asked me about my personality. Well, I'm very loyal to my friends. I'm always there for ponies in need. Many ponies say I'm fun to be around as I love to race and explore new places. I'm also eager to learn new things wherever I go and whoever I meet. My best trait is my courage. Without courage a pony lives in fear, and that's not a good way to live.What things in life are important to you?That's an easy one! First of all is my friends. Without them I'm alone. I'd hate to be alone. Also what's important is to be free to fly. I hate when I get injured and can't fly. Also being able to have the freedom to do the things you want to do is great, but with friends it's even better.What's your idea of the ideal first date?Another tough one. Um... well I guess I'd take my special pony to a romantic dinner and then we'd fly onto a cloud and watch the stars. Oh, and if she's a Wonderbolt fan, I'd definitely try to get her tickets for that show.What are you looking for?Well I'm looking for a special somepony. I know I have friends, but I think there's something missing in my life. Call me sappy, but I think that out there there is a match for me. The trick is always finding that match. I hope that this will help me find that special somepony. Someone who would care for me as I would care for them and who likes me for who I am.Anything else you think we should know?Well the only thing else I can say is I'm not really a fancy pony like you see in Canterlot often. Don't get me wrong, I can take care of myself and look pretty stylish if I do say so, but just not doing the whole dressed up in a suit thing.

Who is this mysterious mare? Silly goose, you were close! *Feather* Anytime works for me, honest! I am not a busy hippogriff at all! Thanks for finding me a match."

RarityDash Posted March 28, 2012 Report Share Posted March 28, 2012 This gets a reply! Two, in fact! One's a blank application, as well as a note reading "Somepony thinks you should get into the dating scene! Why not give it a try?" for Midnight Brand.The second is for Hopesing, and reads as follows;"Dear Hopesong :Thank you very much for taking the time to fill out an application, and I really admire you trying to do your best to make your mom happy, but I'm afraid she has to fill out her application on her own, especially since I'd need to get her to agree to a time and place for a blind date! What you tried to do is very sweet, and I'm very sorry to say that I can't accept the application.Don't worry! I sent your mom a note and an application for her to fill out. Have a nice day, okay!Sincerely - Matchie"((OOC: I know I could have just had Midnight Brand send in an application, but I decided it was best to include some RP parts as well ))Hopesong stared down in shock as she read the letter sent back to her from within the room she was using. How was this possible? How could she tell? Sure, Hopesong had made a few mistakes, but she was pretty sure she had caught and corrected them all! How did this Matchie pony know it was her writing the letter? It just didn't make any sense to her!Then it hit her! It had to be because she had put the return address for the Cloudsdale Flight Camp she was currently attending on the envelope when she sent it! That was the critical mistake. She nodded. That had to be it. Other than that, her letter was perfect. She should have been more careful. Ah well, it was a good plan, but it had failed. There was no way her mother would ever fill out an application on her own, after all.---------Midnight Brand lie beneath a tree in front of her home, beset with worry. Usually it was her who was out and about while Hopesong stayed home, but here it was the opposite. Hopesong was off in Cloudsdale attending Flight Camp, likely making new friends and doing all the things she couldn't alone out here in the wilderness. Midnight was happy the filly was allowed this chance, but it didn't make her worry any less. She hoped for something that might help her get her mind of it all.It was then that, suddenly, a pegasus descended from out of the sky and approached her. She stood, not sure what ot make of this."Are you Midnight Brand?" he asked, tilting his head as he looked at her.Midnight looked at him. He was dressed as a mail courier. What could he possibly want? "Perhaps. Who wants to know?" she started, staring at him, on guard."Er... easy there, I just got some mail for you," the mail pony said, pulling out a single letter. "Really hard time finding this place by the way..."Midnight took the letter cautiously. What was this? She never received mail. Part of why she lived out here in the wilderness was because she wanted to be away from any who might try and contact her.She nodded to the stallion. "Thank you, sir.""No problem," the pony said before taking off again to deliver more mail.Alone again, Midnight began to open the letter, having no clue what the contents might be. Pulling out the letter itself, she began to read:"Somepony thinks you should get into the dating scene! Why not give it a try?" was all it said. There was an attached application to a matchmaking service out of Fillydelphia.Midnight stared at it blankly. An advertisement? Wasn't this the sort of thing a lot of ponies would consider junk mail? How could this... no why had this possibly reached her? Midnight just didn't see an answer. Very few ponies knew she lived out here. Was she really to believe that some matchmaking service did? It was simply ludicrous. She had to shake her head.As much as it didn't make the first bit of sense to her, she couldn't stop looking at it. Was this some kind of sign? No, she couldn't actually be considering filling this out... It would be a disservice to Chaser's memory. What would Hopesong think? That said, it probably wouldn't lead anywhere anyway. She felt stupid for even considering, but in a lot of ways she was seriously compelled.Later that evening, swallowing a bit of her pride and lambasting herself as a fool, she began to fill out the application:Name : Midnight BrandGender : MareGender preference (Optional) : stallionLocation : East Roughrider RidgeAge : somewhat older mareSpecies : earth ponySpecies preference (Optional) : preferably not a pegasusCutie-Mark (Optional) :How would you describe yourself, physically?Mane: Yellow, wavy. Coat: Green. Eyes: hazel. Build: Athletic __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________How would you describe your personality?Quiet, solemn and thoughtful.________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________What things in life are important to you?My daughter.___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________What's your idea of the ideal first date? I wouldn't begin to know._____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________What are you looking for?I'm not sure. I have no clue how you found my address. I'm frankly baffled to receive this application. Since I have received it, however, I felt it appropriate to fill it out. I'm not sure what if anything it will lead to, and honestly my expectations are kind of low. However, at the same time, there is a bit of emptiness in my life, and I sometimes struggle with how best to raise my child, so perhaps the effort will prove worthwhile._______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________Anything else you think we should know?I have a single daughter from a previous relationship. She is barely a filly. She means the world to me.________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DeepBass Posted March 28, 2012 Report Share Posted March 28, 2012 Midsy had just risen from her afternoon nap, and pranced out to check her mail. She grabbed the small stack of letters in her mouth, and happily bounced inside. Once she was within the walls of her home, she began digging through the mail."Ooh! I got a letter back from Matchie! It would be hilarious if Matchie set me up on a date with Bass! Oh to see the look on his face!"Midsy's eyes went wide, and a rather large grin broke out on her face, as she tore open the letter, and began reading it to herself."Congratulations! We've found you a match based on the information you've sent us! Your match is a wandering unicorn stallion called Mirage Riddle, and I think you two could have a fun time of it! Next tuesday's Fillydelphia county fair, at about noon should be a great place for you two to meet up! Maybe dress up a bit, however you like! Please write back quickly if you can't make it, hope you two have a fun time!Sincerely - Matchie!"After reading the letter, Midsy squealed in utter delight."OH MY GOSH! I'm gonna meet him at the fair! Oh, what should I wear, what should I wear?! What do ponies wear to fairs? Hmmm… I KNOW! I'll ask Bass! That old grump needs to wake up anyways!"Then, without a second thought, Midsy pranced out the door, letter in tow, to the home of her best friend, Bass.

Halide Posted March 28, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 28, 2012 Name : SnowfallGender : mareGender preference : eitherLocation : StalliongradAge : in my prime yearsSpecies : pegasusSpecies preference : I don't really careCutie-Mark : a cityscape snow globeName : PathfinderGender : FemaleGender preference : Whatever, not importantLocation : Everywhere- I travel all the time, though I do have a 'home' in Cloudsdale.Age : Young MareSpecies : PegasusSpecies preference (Optional) : Whatever, not importantCutie-Mark (Optional) : Rope around a globeNow THIS one had matchie chewing a little on her lip. It was kind of a toss-up between the rocker and the CEO that wanted more spice in her life for the adventurous mare. It -could- work, or it could end badly... Tell the CEO to be ready for a wild ride, tell the adventuremare to go a little easy on her, and it could be wildfire of a match! She'd really have to meet them both before she could make a clear guess... so it was eightball time!"So, eightball... Lovely little eightball! Should I give this match a try?"Could be worse!CLOSE ENOUGH! So, two tenacious letters, and Matchie figured she was done with the applications she'd got thus far.The first, to Snowfall :"Dear Snowfall :Congratulations! Thanks to the very complete application you've sent in, we've found you a match that should prove interesting! Her name is Pathfinder, a real adventurer of a pegasus! For your date, something a little more rough and tumble seems suitable; we've chosen the Gryphon obstacle course at Breakbeak Gulch, which should, if nothing else, at least be a fun workout! I hope next friday at 2:30 PM fits in your schedule! Please write me back if you have any misgivings or problems with getting there at that time!Have a wonderful day!-Matchie"Whew, ok, next letter, to Pathfinder."Hi Pathfinder! Hope this letter finds you in decent health, because we've found a match for you! Her name is Snowfall; a businesspegasus who wants excitement in her life, rather than be pampered. I know, it might be a bit of a stretch, but I think there's serious potential here! I've got reservations for you two at the Gryphon obstacle course over at Bareback Gulch for 2:30 PM on next Friday Saturday. Please write back if that doesn't work for you!Happy adventuring!-Matchie"But, now, it was getting a bit late... A bit of magic, and the letters were off! Oh, this was a fun day...

RarityDash Posted March 28, 2012 Report Share Posted March 28, 2012 There was a strange mix of anxiety, terror and childlike glee when a reply from the matchmaker arrived in Snowfall's hands. She had never done anything like this before. It still seemed kind of strange to her. She was just a touch embarrassed by it all. Somewhat timidly she opened the letter and read its contents."Dear Snowfall :Congratulations! Thanks to the very complete application you've sent in, we've found you a match that should prove interesting! Her name is Pathfinder, a real adventurer of a pegasus! For your date, something a little more rough and tumble seems suitable; we've chosen the Gryphon obstacle course at Breakbeak Gulch, which should, if nothing else, at least be a fun workout! I hope next friday at 2:30 PM fits in your schedule! Please write me back if you have any misgivings or problems with getting there at that time!"Snowfall smiled cautiously. A pegasus who called herself an adventurer? Interesting. She wasn't sure what to make of that. It could mean any number of things, she supposed. This was likely a sort that Snowfall would seldom interact with socially. She actually kind of liked that. She rather liked the thought of meeting somepony new and interesting. She had always had something of an adventurer's spirit herself come to think of it, even if it had never materialized in any way beyond innumerable wanderings around Stalliongrad.An obstacle course for the setting, eh? Interesting. Snowfall didn't have much chance to do strenuous exercise, but it did sound kind of fun. Her only concern was the location. It seemed miss matchmaker had made an error, or simply didn't have extensive knowledge of the Roughrider Ridge. Breakbeak Gulch? It was most likely she meant Bareback Gulch, the sparse mining town, but it was also possible that Beakbreak City, the dank industrial town was intended. Snow decided to just ask for clarification inn the reply she'd give."Dear Miss Matchie,I do thank you for your prompt reply. I am very much looking forward to meeting this Miss Pathfinder. My main concerns are the time and location. I have a very strict schedule to maintain, and as it is, I have a meeting I can't miss here in Stalliongrad early Friday morning. Even by my speediest airship, it might be an ordeal to get to the location by 2:30. Perhaps something later in the evening might be possible? Additionally, I am not sure what location it is you intend. You wrote to me Breakbeak Gulch; did you intend Bareback Gulch, or perhaps Beakbreak City? I'd hate to arrive in the wrong town. I'd appreciate clarification.Thank you again for your time and services.Yours truly,Snowfall" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh, drat, it was the match she had the least certianty in. A quick read-through, and Matchie nearly chipped her desk with her horn for hitting her forehead against it. She'd been so busy getting wrapped up in actually making the match and being nervous about the date itself that she'd made a few errors - bone-headed errors at that. Oh dear oh dear oh dear, at least she had a letter-recall spell. A few quick edits on Pathfinder's letter, she might not be the wiser, and a revised copy went back to Snowfall."Hi again Snowfall!Apologies, and thank you for your quick reply! I did, in fact, mean bareback gulch - hope it isn't too remote! - and fair enough, I've changed your reservations to saturday, same time and location. Not that I know much about flying, but it strikes me an obstacle course might get a bit dangerous if one were to try and fly through it too late in the evening.Your patronage is incredibly appreciated!- Matchie" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
