Wanderlust: Equestrian Nights - Play By Post (Recruiting!)

For me it is currently 1704, or 5:04 pm

I present to you my selected characters! Fret not, this will also be put in the opening post but not right now.

• Copper Rose as Water Drop & Glowing Soft!
  
• Elacular as Jack Daniels!
  
• sunbeam as Bubbling Springs!
  
• Dusk Raven as Wandering Eyes!
  

Left by the wayside, for now (unless there is much protesting from the other players) is mjh6 as Lavender Rain. Sorry, but I'm just not feeling it as well as the other characters.

Anyways, a little extra info: We will be starting, in-character, some time after the Season 4 Finale. As of right now, Season 5 is NON-CANON in relation to our campaign. More info impending.

Made a slight change to JD's character sheet. Also, are you sure you set up all the links right? I'm having trouble with the last one, but my tablet could just be dumb.

No, your tablet is fine. Your GM, on the other hand, is really quite stupid.

Oh well.

Don't worry, I'm  not mad. Just don't be surprised if rocks just happen to crush Skitterbuzz inexplicably  

I have sent all of you a PM.

Moreover, for reasons detailed in the aforementioned PM, you are all headed towards Ponyville. (In)conveniently, the Princesses are sponsoring a huge, new festival there in celebration of Tirek's defeat. Similar festivals are happening everywhere; but lots of ponies are headed for this one, considering it's the one Twilight and Company are running and attending personally. It will also be one of the rare occasions tha all four Princesses will be in the same place at the same time as everyone else.

Said festival isn't happening for a while yet... But Ponyville does happen to be most conveniently located for all of you. (I can explain why, if need be.)

Yes! Discord is going to be a regular part of this campaign! ...Why? Well, nevermind that he's one of my favorite characters (although he is.) I felt like I needed an IC mouthpiece; Discord can command a certain amount of attention, and I can justify him being anywhere and doing (or not doing) almost anything I need him to.

So no complaining. I'm doing a lot for you, let me have my fun too please.

I like Discord in games, when he's not central to the plot, since I rather enjoy his antics. The problems with Discord primarily stem from the fact that different people have different ideas of what he can do, so when he's an antagonist or an ally someone will always complain either "Discord should know everything we're doing and be able to automatically hang us up by our ankles" or "Discord shouldn't have this much power." So as long as he's not too central to the plot we should be fine.

Plus, I got to say Dongconiquus. Although, maybe I should have gone with Dickoniquus or Draconidong.

...How many of us are in Discordian Promise? At least three?

Anyways. I'll grant, he's important to your current sideplot. But it shouldn't take super long; I'm mainly trying to keep you busy while Wandering Eye thinks about the suitcase.

I like the last one best. If nothing else, the "c" in the first one makes it harder to pronounce, it should be silent.

Oh, you're waiting on me? My apologies, I'll hurry up and have Wandering Eye do his thing...

In Discord's Promise he's already billed as that game's big bad... Making it semi-ok to have him being a bit more powerful then you'd normally think or something. And at the same time he's billed as a challenge we can win against...

(Piping in and giving my two bits randomly)

Okay, what sort of unholy voodoo curse have I incurred anyway and how the hell do I get rid of it?

I'm in quite a pickle too. Our first puzzle of the game, methinks...

Your curse is "proximity to a Draconequus" and the cure is "play along and hope he lets you go home".

As you will soon see in the Absence thread, I am going to be navailable this weekend. So, a note:

@ Copper/Dusk: You guys have until I get back to say anything you want to say to each other while the locksmith is working. Said locksmith will ignore anything you say to him until he finishes. When I get back I will post a time skip.

@ Dusk: If you want to do some last minute Nightmare consulting, get me tomorrow at about 9:00-9:30 AM.

@ Sunbeam: If you can get a response post of some kind in by tomorrow, I'll make a response to it... But after 9:30, my time, too late!

@ Elacular: ....Sorry filly, sucks to be you this weekend. You'll probably just have to wait.

Waiting on posts.

@ Dusk: Either point a hoof, or stand in defense, but do something.

@ Elacular/Sunbeam: This is not an RP moment. Getting out is your problem.

Oh, my apologies, I didn't know you were waiting on me.

*nidge*

Who are we waiting on now?

Bubnling Spring is waiting on Jack to stop licking the floor and start licking his feet. This is more or less RP time for you and Copper.

...Although, actually, the Nightmare might have an opinion or two if you can grab me on Skype.

I'm going to wait to reply until I find out if I can find a door.

If I need an arcana check, here's one: 4+14=18

What do you mean when you say it doesn't confirm Jack? Do I just not sense him at all, magically?

No. Jack can't read, and therefore wouldn't have gathered yet that they're on a set of Penrose Steps.

Incidentally:

@ Elacular/sunbeam: *nudge*

@ Copper: I feel almost relieved... I was half expecting Water Drop to just dive in with her lips while Glowing Soft frowned at her. It's okay though.
