My Little Pony XIV: Boots on Hooves / Bikinis on Top

[Mystic Muse]

Aw, okay. No makeover. Want some ice cream?

Edit: Oh sure, everything's my fault. JUST BECAUSE I'M A FALCON DOESN'T MEAN I DON'T HAVE FEELINGS TOO. (runs off sobbing, eating the ice cream himself)

She is currently not processing anything. There's only one pony who can snap her out of this. The Great and Powerful Trixie.

"I can't get the great and powerful Trixie... but I can beat you with this pipe until you THINK that's what happened!"

You aren't allowed to help anymore, Dash.

Leo walks over to Hullabaloo and gently taps her shoulder until she uncurls and looks at him, giving a big, friendly smile. Filled with sharp teeth.

NEW CONTESTANT

Nightscream!

Nightscream is currently plotting to overthrow Neighgatron, leader of the Decepticlops. He isn't very good at it.

Nightscream: WHO DARES INTERRUPT MY CORONATION?

Coronation? This is bad comedy.

[SiuiS]

man, I still can't get that Sabaton video to work. Sorry DD.

Some [tag] advice, so you guys don't burn yourselves out; tags nest. If you have color at the very beginning of a post, and the /color tag at the very end, it only affects your text. Quotes maintain their original color, so you don't have to keep opening and closing color tags.
You can also use this to have a Master color, and interupt it with another color. So

[green]text goes here[black]more text here
[blue]more text here[/blue]
slightly more text[/black]
entire rest of post[/green]

Ends up like

Text goes here More text here
more text here
slightly more text
entire rest of post

Bring some salt, though. I just went through 5 revisions to find a faulty tag; everything after the third Quote was limegreen. Thanks Grif ;þ

THE COURT-'SHIP OF LUNA

Spoiler

Show

That's the spirit lad!

Lyra, why the hay are we on this airship again?
No idea.

Midnight: You came crashing in thinking I was my Mom, remember?!

Oh right. Silly of me to forget. She isn't here is he?

No funny moves mind! Olympia here has her eye on you.
Har har, very funny Lyra.
*unties Ponyard*

*Seeking cover from prehistoric creatures circling above, a little droid pops belowdecks again, and sees the recently arrived Kip*

Oh no! More stowaways! How did you get here anyway?

Oh, cap'n SiuiS will have my adamantium plating for this...
Don't worry, he's really happy to see you, Kip. He's just a little stressed right now...

Haha, yeah. Good that yer playin' bad that yer on me ship, of all the boats te grace the skies this day.

Does she look like she's here? I know I look a lot like her, but this is ridiculous! It's just me, Momma Luna with a monocle, and Shimmer here. Oh, and you.

Right. Time for belated airship shenanigans.

Spoiler

Amish shed a single manly tear as he saw his precious cargo go up in a blaze of sugary goodness. Only a single tear, because he was too busy weeping openly to spare any more. Even as he was pulled onto the deck, he still cried bitter tears of hammy regret.

Is the minty one talking to her mind? And im guessing the shot gun has a name? *drops to the ground* Thank you. Errr... it seems we aren't the only ones here. Is that Princess Luna wearing a monocle? I must have hit my head.

(Yes, Olympia talks. AI upgrades and whatnot.)

You insult my intelligence, pony. I am a talking shotgun and you will pay me the proper respect.
Olympia, don't maim him now. Lawsuits aplenty.

Wow. Ok then. I apologize Olympia, im uhhhh "new" here. Anypony care to tell me where 'HERE' is? *checks for his possessions and finds his satchel and amulet*

Airship time!

After making sure his hammy crew mate was safely back aboard, the bot turned his attention to the rampaging pteranodon. Grabbing a silver-tinted rope off the deck of SiuiS' dream ship, he tied a lasso in the end and swung it lazily, waiting for the beast to make another pass.

"I didn't put 10 ranks in Animal Empathy for nothing," the droid whirred to himself.

Spoiler

"Ach, I dinnae have time fer this! I'll leave the terroranadon in yer capable... Whoosits, Droid. We're still a-listin' an' slidin' and if'n we hit the vortex, we'll end up in the pony noir thread, or a gore!fic-- if we're lucky.

Nae, I'll be checkin' th' hold fer our extra passengers. Thy c'n pull 'eir own weight, or they c'n find a new boat te sail in."

SiuiS makes a bee-line for the cabin doors, telekinetically disengaging the 'lock' (a piece of old timber shoved under the handle, and some wadded-up cloth as a door stop). He dashes down the stairs into the cabin proper, ducks under a swinging Phoe, engages Olympia's safety before cutting in front of her, skirting Lyra's knife, and tumbling neatly over a chair, before grabbing Midnight's cup and taking a sip.

*SPIT TAKE* PONYARD KIPLING!?!? What by Sun and Moon are ye doin' in MY boat?! I just saw ye-- well, thought tWas ye, as I seem te have been mistaken- in th' hold o' Flock's boat. How did ye-

Wait, what? What is this, I dinnae leave ye any tea, this was a pretend tea party.

I fouNd somE in tHiS Bottle. It wAS undEr yoUR Pillow.

MY MOONSHINE!

Thash a pretty name. I lIke thaT name. iSH a PreTtY name~

Luna falls to deck, her mane keepin the tophat in place. Her monocle rolls like a silver dollar, around and around the floor, until a fortuitous shake of the vessel rolls it conveniently back into place on her socket.

*hic*

WWHHYYYYYYYYYYYYY

In other news, I think several things. One, is that for a pony name, me wizard is going to be Starry Notions. I like the sound, and the other contexts o ly work if you come at them obliquely.

Two, I am considering doing the story of how ah got mah cutie mahrk. Probably as a comic, but I'm considering writing it out as an exercise. He thing is, it's a life story, so it doesn't have one ofthose nice, clean beginning-middle-end like most 'good' stories do. It would be like reading through a serial comic, transcribed. The story is also going to be a direct port of my "ohmanthisissocoolthisiswhatmyalteregodid" story I had when I was 7; bein shown the ropes in many areas by many peoples, traveling he world to learn what I can from each demographic. It's as much exploratorating the world around as it is his story.

I'm bringing this up to see what the general feel is for other folks; this is, essentially, a revamp of a Mary Sue character. I think it's worthwhile because this character is more a plot device than an actual important character, but I'm an arm-chair when it comes to telling stories for other people. I care about what *I* want to read/write, 99% of the time.

So what say you? Pony learns pony magic, goes to study with deer, with buffalo, with griffons, with other ponies. Has adventures on the way. Sound legit?

[EsperDerek]

Alright, NOW I'm going to bed, but I just want to say again that you're awesome, Kairaven, and you shall be repaid!

Squeeeee...

[MCerberus]

Touch my daughter and die. A severely pissed off Soft Serve says.

Staccata(grimdark character): So cute, can I hug her SQUEE

Staccata(grimdark character): So cute, can I hug her SQUEE

Well, she's not going to notice if you do, so why not? Soft says brushing it off. Besides, if you harm her, you'll get destroyed. She says.

[Kris Strife]

Is Soft Serve actually next to Hullabaloo?

[darthbobcat]

I have arrived. When will ponies learn to stop mentioning makeovers around her?

[Mystic Muse]

Is Soft Serve actually next to Hullabaloo?

No. This is just an illusion that pops up whenever somebody threatens to do grievous harm to her. If somebody tries though....well....

They'll be turned into a fine red mist.

[Rebelhero]

Hi there, uh Captain. Im just as dumbfounded as you are. Frankly, I have no idea what is going on here. But what the hay, This will make a good story someday. Nice entrance by the way, very smooth. *he opens his bag and puts on a Fedora.*

[Kris Strife]

No. This is just an illusion that pops up whenever somebody threatens to do grievous harm to her. If somebody tries though....well....

They'll be turned into a fine red mist.

Would picking her up and carrying her until they're at a town consist of harm?

[Mystic Muse]

Would picking her up and carrying her until they're at a town consist of harm?

Nope. That will be fine.

[Kris Strife]

Nope. That will be fine.

And if Leo has no idea where town is?

Raise the shield! Wait, you mean I've never expressed interest in any shielding device? Whatever, just get in range.

Void, your crazies are up.

edit- Staccata: SQUEE *hugs*

[Mystic Muse]

And if Leo has no idea where town is?

If he's intentionally trying to harm her? Fine red mist. If he isn't,then they're lost.

[darthbobcat]

Why exactly did Hulabaloo have a blue screen of death?

[Kris Strife]

If he's intentionally trying to harm her? Fine red mist. If he isn't,then they're lost.

Intentionally trying to harm someone is completely tone dissonant with MLP, so no worries.

Leo sighs and gently picks up the catatonic pony and, after some struggling, manages to get her on his back where she won't fall off. "Well, I'd hoped for some direction, but I certainly can't leave you here..." He looks around for a moment, before picking a direction at random and starting off.

[Grif]

So.... Apparently now it takes me 10 hours to draw a pony. Must work faster....

and apparently if you don't pay attention to the thread in 10 hours it will take you another 2 hours just to catch up. (and I speed read pretty well also...)

Anyways.. I suppose I shouldn't be showing this until Esper get them charts, but you know what... 10 hour works needs to be shown.

Midnight is a very pretty pony.

I am sure Phoe broke many hearts with today's Q&Neigh on ED

Magnificent! And now, right back into the art pit myself!

Curses. Now I'm tempted to do this art thing myself. And I can't draw for real.

[Mystic Muse]

Why exactly did Hulabaloo have a blue screen of death?

Soft Serve: You don't want to know.

[MCerberus]

Hullabaloo has me wanting to bring a non-manipulative harpy version of Staccata into the regular RP thread.

For what reason exactly?

For what reason exactly?

More excuses to do things like see the CMCs show up when she takes blunt trauma to the head and try and see if a tiny skeleton pony squeaks when you squeeze it.

Ah. I thought you meant for shipping or something, and I was going to point out that that wouldn't work since Hullabaloo is like 3 in that RP.

Leo grins widely, showing off his sharp teeth before bursting into laughter. "Know where town is? I don't even know where this is! We've had little business in Equestria over the past thousand years... What on earth happened to the castle?"

"So when i say 'You're not from around here' That's true in more ways then one..." *he tilts his head* A thousand years? Probably more then i can tell you about in that case. At any rate, there's a road near by but uhhh ponies seem---Nevermind. Not important. Follow me if you will. *trots in the direction of the road*
