Kobold King he/him Posted June 7, 2015 Posted June 7, 2015 All of the red light reminds me of something I can't quite put my finger on. Great. Now I'm going to be disappointed if Calamity comes out and the titular alicorn doesn't describe himself with the phrase "dashing grin." 1

Now I'm going to be disappointed if Calamity comes out and the titular alicorn doesn't describe himself with the phrase "dashing grin." I'm taking impromptu contributors for the impromptu MLP/Reckoners fanfic, if you feel it needs Epic!Blueblood. 1
Kobold King he/him Posted June 7, 2015 Posted June 7, 2015 I'm taking impromptu contributors for the impromptu MLP/Reckoners fanfic, if you feel it needs Epic!Blueblood. I'll consider that. Though his defeat might be anticlimatic, as I'm pretty sure his weakness would be getting dirt on his freshly groomed coat. 1

It's the only satisfying ending to the Gala incident. 1

Though am I the only one who thinks that if the first Epic's Rending happened at the Gala, everypony would think Celestia planned it to shake things up? 1

If I might ask, what are you doing at a dance recital? For my foster sister. She's one of the last acts, so I'm sitting through all these others that...well, a Rending would liven things up. 1
Kobold King he/him Posted June 7, 2015 Posted June 7, 2015 For my foster sister. She's one of the last acts, so I'm sitting through all these others that...well, a Rending would liven things up. Be careful what to wish for. Would imagining Steelheart performing all the dances the little girls are performing make the recital easier to sit through? 2

Would imagining Steelheart performing all the dances the little girls are performing make the recital easier to sit through? Well, right after you said that, I decided to imagine Obliteration instead of Steelheart. When one of the dancers put her hands between her knees and hopped across the stage in a crouch, I knew I'd made a poor decision. 1

"And behold, the Horseman of the Apocalypse, who brought fire and death upon the world, did sayeth 'I am a pretty froggie princess. See me hop.'" "Um... what?" "I am a pretty froggie princess. See me spread my magical frogginess across the land." 3

And it was every bit as weird as the title implies. I...I think it was created for the sole purpose of letting the dancers show off their contortionist skills. Splits, handstands, sliding across the floor on their stomachs...on the upside, it set the bar pretty high for weirdness, so a dance set to Britney Spears' "Circus" felt refreshingly normal. Then again, the little kids were adorable. Fortuity will never be able to rock a fedora like the three-year-olds in one of the dances. NEVER 2

How old were the dancers in that particular act? I have a hard time imagining three year-olds doing splits and handstands of that kind of caliber. Toddlers register thousands of kiloritas higher than Fortuity in all areas. 2
TwiLyghtSansSparkles she/her Posted June 7, 2015 Author Posted June 7, 2015 (edited) That is a strange name for a dance. How old were the dancers in that particular act? I have a hard time imagining three year-olds doing splits and handstands of that kind of caliber. Toddlers register thousands of kiloritas higher than Fortuity in all areas. They were teens. I think between thirteen and sixteen. All girls, all wearing sleek black bodysuits and black lipstick. I cannot stress how weird that dance was. Agreed. and not just because Fortuity scores negative kiloritas. Edited June 7, 2015 by TwiLyghtSansSparkles 1

I'm glad you specified "all girls"; call me sexist, but the mental image of a bunch of teenage boys in tight bodysuits and black lipstick doing splits on stage makes me feel simultaneously amused and unsettled. Small children are adorable. (And I speak as a someone with several very young siblings, so I'm kind of an authority. ) 1

(And I speak as a someone with several very young siblings, so I'm kind of an authority. ) Until you said that, I thought there was no way that dance could have been any weirder. Especially when they're dancing adorably out of sync in glittery 1920s-style costumes. 1

TwiLyghtSansSparkles she/her Posted June 7, 2015 Author Posted June 7, 2015 If they were wearing giant paper Shia LaBeouf masks? The D'awwing Twenties. Two ways, then. Yesssss. And then there was another one where the girls wore little multicolored dresses and flapped their arms like tropical birds.... 1
Kobold King he/him Posted June 7, 2015 Posted June 7, 2015 Two ways, then. Yesssss. And then there was another one where the girls wore little multicolored dresses and flapped their arms like tropical birds.... And have a couple of adults bunny-hop across the stage in realistic horse masks. That sounds adorable. Do I take it you changed your mind that a Rending would have improved the proceedings? 1

Although it took place at my alma mater, so I would've liked an Epic to Rend right through the Bursar's office. 1
Kobold King he/him Posted June 8, 2015 Posted June 8, 2015 Yes. Although it took place at my alma mater, so I would've liked an Epic to Rend right through the Bursar's office. I suppose I could always make a few tweaks to Lightwards' Rending backstory, if it really means that much to you. 1
Comatose he/him Posted June 8, 2015 Posted June 8, 2015 Hey all. *Comatose puts admin hat on* I've noticed lately there has been a slight increase in double posting (at it seems that way to me). Don't post twice in a row. This is "double-posting". If you forgot to say something in your previous post, there's a button on all of your posts called "Edit". Please make sure to use this, rather than making a second, tiny post to correct an error or say one more thing. The only place we should see double posting is if, after a time when no one responds, you post new information or ideas. For example, if I post in General Discussion something about an upcoming video game, and after some replies, I posted the final comment, then if there's new information revealed about the game a month later, it would be completely acceptable for me to make a new post in that topic to let people know about this new information. I added something to the conversation, which is always acceptable (and encouraged!) Since double posting is explicitly against site rules, and we do have a handy "Edit" button, I'd suggest using it a little more. I know this is not always convenient, but since these threads fill up so quickly, and people post so frequently anyways, there's not really a reason why an earlier post can't be edited, or a later post can't wait until someone else has posted first. Just wanted to head things off before they became too much of a problem. *Comatose takes admin hat off* Sooo, apparently I have some catching up to do pretty much everywhere. Glad to see the RP is moving. Silver never got back to me, so I might give the rest of the night, and then get things moving in Corvallis tomorrow.
TwiLyghtSansSparkles she/her Posted June 8, 2015 Author Posted June 8, 2015 I suppose I could always make a few tweaks to Lightwards' Rending backstory, if it really means that much to you. Nah. He was a professor. Now, if a college student happened to become an Epic right when they'd gone to the Bursar's office to complain about the Payment Processing Fee they had to pay on top of their Graduate Candidacy Fee... 1
