Mystery Ahoof Sign-up and OOC [ONE SPOT OPEN]

[1:35:42 PM] Nathaniel(sunbeam): Who exactly does the "mind is so much lonelier" comment apply to? Also, what does it mean? Do the affected just spontaneously feel more lonely, or is their something deeper?

I'm wondering because it's phrased to sound very ominous, but it's not that much different from what the changeling 'just' did.
[1:36:38 PM] A1C Bronymous: You knocked over the chalice and candle, interrupting the link to the hive. SO now everyone has lost a sense of someone being there
[1:38:31 PM] Nathaniel(sunbeam): Ah.
[1:38:41 PM] Nathaniel(sunbeam): That sums it up nicely.
[7:43:26 PM] Copper ❀: there was no candle, but pretty much yeah

So this is currently my only game running on this site, and since the pace has always been slow, I'm hoping most of you will still be willing to play. Can I get a role call for everyone who is still playing (and still interested in playing), and a quote of their last post in the game please?

I'm super down for Cobalt's triumphant return.

As illustrated here:

Cobalt looks around, confused. Something changed... but what. She can't tell, and in fact in her drunken state all she can tell is that none of her friends are here.... and she's alone again. Sadly, she just lays her head to the floor, and waits, hoping someone finds her soon.

As you can see, very triumphant.

YAAAAAY Copper Rose is back!

Athletics:

Cool. I'll need to finish sorting out Wanderlust's concrete characteristics.

OOC:

I am of the though that the half of the plot line that I was in died a slow and burning death but otherwise I am still in some state of interest... can not find last post... will look harder...

Your last post is literally the latest post in the topic...

I've been thinking it over and I think I'd like to retire Wanderlust from this campaign. However, I don't just want him to disappear in a puff of smoke, so I'd be happy to keep playing him until he can be more casually written out the story.

Well, it looks like, after Sunbeam leaves, this game would be down to 3 players. I'm not exactly excited about running a game with only 3 players, and lots of people seem excited about my other planned games, so unless people are dying to sign up for this game that you guys already know about, I'm killing this one and starting up the next one. Sorry about this, but some games just can't be revived. (I'm just hoping I'm not a terrible DM, since so far most of my games have died...)

See y'all next game?

Did you try advertising more than not at all? My game has almost died from players leaving like 18 times, but every time I advertise an opening and get a few applicants, and the game keeps trudging along.

Eh, sure, I'll add [RECRUITING] to the title I guess. it's just that so far there are more plot-lines going than players atm, and not sure how well that'll translate.

Just for clarification, I am still up to play. I just need to get back into the character...

I'm waiting on Bronymous to post before I post, so that I can know what Cobalt's reactions to stuff is. Also, does the fading section of wall mean nothing to you?

He was already leaving via the roof, so crossing that way didn't really cross his mind. The gravity of a solid wall disappearing into thin air is sort of lost on this pony, given what he's walked in on tonight (participating in a psychic link (that was partially with Cobalt) without his permission, watching River obliterate a changeling, etc.).

I literally checked your character sheet, scrutinized your picture, and I still didn't register that you weren't blue. That is...an impressive derp, on my part.

All edited, no real changes.

Streetwise Check on Changeling Colony: 8 + 8 = 16

16, you don't get much, just the basics. Basically it's a butterfly-like changeling colony that lives somewhere in the rain forest near Port Pegasus. There was a conspiracy over them a long time ago, but now there's a treaty between the local government and the colony. They aren't allowed to stray from their territory except for official business and emergencies (like a forest fire) because of this treaty, but they seem very content with it and are never seen except by those few foals each generation who make the mistake of venturing into their territory (they never get hurt, but their experience keeps other foals away from the area for a good decade or two).

How well known is this changeling hive?

Does my Sweet and Elite apply to changelings as well?

Isn't the force behind that S&E the fact that you're the town "Mare' Stallion"?

The implications if it does apply are frightening in so many ways.

The changeling colony is common knowledge in the area (otherwise a 16 would've gotten you essentially nothing), and your S&E does not apply. It only applies to groups you've had the chance to casually interact with, meaning it doesn't include the colony.

EEEEEE- Her thoughts devolved at that point from words into simple emotion, projecting a mixture of excitement and slight distrust towards her new converser...

River doesn't mean to, but I figure this is about the emotional equivalent (for a changeling) of somebody running up and cramming a muffin into your open mouth. This should be entertaining.

Gee thanks, I guess I'll just hang out then.

Sorry, Wanderlust is sick of being a personal ferry at this point. Beyond sick, really. Fed up, exasperated, incensed, all at once.

That happens when you get too drunk to walk

I dunno. Maybe someone in the kitchen has a WAKE UP potion...

I've been waiting on Copper to tell me when I'm capable of functioning to a more independent extent, but so far nothing has changed.
