    TOUGH!

    - Tyro hugs Legion
    - It's super effective!

    Also, the strung-out Luna was really good. Nice one Eight Star!

    Ah, thank you!

    I'm always so worried when I play show characters. So worried I'll mess them up.

    Like those fan fics I've read. Not Quill's though, he's quite good at keeping character.

    Being afraid that I wouldn't keep in character is the reason I was so afraid to start writing fan fiction.

    My sincerest thanks!

    Aurora, I meant that Rifter was the only one who could actually see it was the pony, to everyone else it was just a tan blob. I'm not sore though, I'll let that go. Ghost confusion and all.

    I was about to say, gaiz, we can't see the pony.

    That's why Rifter was Rifter and not Rifter.

    Tex is nervous, which is saying a lot for him. 0.0 This stuff is pretty freaky. It's like a nightmare or...or. A nightmare?

    Wait...hmmmmm...nah.

    Now that's not true.

    Firstly, everypony brings a quality or an edge to every RP and can chip in just as many ideas as the next guy. Just by posting, you are contributing meaningfully and just as meaningfully as everypony else as we move towards the conclusion of this RP, bit by bit.

    Secondly, everypony is constantly refining and learning how to write posts from each other. That's the thing about RP; you can get radically different styles, viewpoints and methods of telling an aspect of that character's part in the story from all the RPer's involved. What you can hope to do is observe what you enjoy about those differences and attempt to incorporate what works for your own style. We're all still learning how to write; from the guys on the bottom rung and just starting out to the guys that have been doing this for a long enough time to build up weird and complex time-lines for characters. Your not inferior, green maybe, but not any less important. Just keep watch and think.

    That make sense? It's the same sort of thing for Black Belts too...

    Heh, first thing I thought of when I read Tyro's post was "All right, Gang. Let's split up and look for clues! Daphne and I'll go this way, and Shaggy, Scooby, and Velma, you go that way."

    Tyro is now best Fred. Wait...does that mean Tex is Daphne?! 0.o

    Never mind, the analogy is imperfect...but you know what I meant. >.>

    I honestly had no idea if that would work. I'm glad it did to some extent.

    Anyway, this really ought to be in the OOC. Can we mosey long to that now as this area is clearly not an OOC.

    I don't really mind the chatter here. Another thread less to keep track of.

    My Agents of the Order thread for character sheets is almost lost to the darkness, what with it not being a chat thread.
    :derpe:

    Also, don't fret J, I hope to give everypony a chance. I usually hold up movement sequences if I see someone's missing or behind a few.​

    Well, the thing is that this is meant to only be a store of information. You shouldn't keep track of anything that goes on in here as all it should contain is a list of characters. That's sort of it, really. An OOC would keep that separate from everything else.

    I think I can move the posts made here to an OOC if you'd like so you wouldn't be starting from scratch as it were and leaving only the important, and relevant data. There are many bells and whistles in the Mod Tool Kit I've yet to use.

    Also, I agree Legion. I'm curious about the sub-plot in this one.

    I made Rifter up when you mentioned Griffons.
    Now he is one of my favourite OC's!
    THANKS EIGHT!

    I kinda like Power. I'm not sure why, I think it's more along the lines of admiring the fact that a character like him exists.

    Didn't think everypony would enjoy a psycho-maniac who was part masochist.

    It's...unique.

    Tex is a bit wary of him, though.
