    Raining

    It's raining outside
    Maybe inside too
    I can't tell though
    Inside, I can't feel the rain on my skin

    Perhaps it's just the temperature
    That would explain the cold
    But not why I hear the rain falling
    a steady drip-drip down my nose

    I'm standing in the rain, you see
    It splashes from skin to shirt
    And if it's not raining
    Then why are my eyes so wet?

    It's hailing outside

    For the first time ever...

    I'm not going to be single for Valentine's Day.

    I don't know how to feel about that, so you guys tell me how to feel.

    Anyways, happy Single's Awareness Day! Those of you enjoying the day, kudos to you. Those of you suffering from this day... my condolences.

    Another year

    Another year I walk the sands
    They shift and change beneath my feet
    Yet through it all I walk.

    Another year I see the others walk the sands
    Some falter and slip beneath the sand
    Others lay roads for still later others to tread

    The roads vanish beneath the sands
    And yet they are the sands themselves
    So perhaps they never were, or still are

    Some do not walk the sands like I

Wishing Star Update (important, please read) · 10:41pm Jul 15th, 2013

So this blog is dedicated to my highest ranked series.

In Wishing Star: R-Type, with Rose, is going to be updating soon, as soon as Rose is available.

In Wishing Star: C-Type, With Cole, is going to be updating, releasing, etc. as soon as I've gotten the others straightened out.

As for the upcoming Wishing Star: A-Type and E-Types, I am currently working on them. They will be starting at the beginning of next month.

And finally, the one that started this all, Wishing Star Z-Type.
It pioneered the peculiar literary style and began showing us the less-than-bright world under the pretty facade of this world.
It spurred me to create nearly forty different species, and I'm still expanding that number as I go. I'm even creating backstories, assigning abilities, and much more, to each of them. I've even built a grand, over-arching plot to the whole thing, and given the whole world a four-thousand-year history.
But, this story must come to a halt now. My co-writer and fellow RPer HunterZ263, is unable to work on the project anymore, and it wouldn't be the same without him. Due to varied personal reasons, he has found he is unable to produce the quality work he has in the past, and I will be sad for the lack of his presence in the world we created.
Still, not all is lost; the series will go on, and there is now two open slots for new RPers to join.
As such, if you wish to join, this is where you would apply! Or via PM, if you want to keep your info secret.

Please provide Name, Age (must be 18+), Gender, and Skype Name (no, I don't have Steam, my computer can't run it)
[EDIT]: Remember that you aren't submitting a character, you're submitting yourself. You yourself will be the character, not someone you've made. Your views. Your reactions.

Anyways, have a nice day/night/morning/evening/whenever it is for you.

I'd be willing to jump in, though most of my repertoire of characters are either military, or ex-military (I'm ex-US Army, so if you do go with me, expect a different mindset than what I've seen so far).

Name: Fischer, Eric.
Age: 22
Gender: Male
Skype: ewf59632@bethel.edu

1213326
Ah, I failed to mention somehting about the series.

Each main character is the player. No differences, just you and your reactions to the situation.

1213679
That's fine by me. Makes it more fun.

1213719
Alright, your application has been logged. Accepted applications will be announced in a week or so.

1213741
Hey, just wondering how everything is going. Need anything more from me?

1239516
Not really. I was expecting more applicants.
You're the only one on the list so far.

1239961
That surprises me too. I'll see if any of my friends would like to join. I might be able to find someone else who would be interested.

1240303
Alrighty


please be a girl, please be a girl, please be a girl, please be a girl...

1241417
I'll see what I can do, but no promises. I generally don't ask for a gender while online.

1241475
Just a hope.

And whoever they are, I'll need one more thing from them:
On a scale from 0 to 10, with 10 being 'Senseless Hentai' and 0 being 'Mormon Temple', where do they, and you, want the rating to land?

1241603
For myself, probably around the three to six area. I'm a soldier, so combat/gore and what not is up to you, since my former job revolved around two things: killing people and blowing things up (*NOTE: this is a common joke in the military, and that's all it is, a joke). As for Clop and such, I'm a somewhat devote Christian. I say somewhat, as I've picked up some bad habits through my short military career (I'm a Christian that can swear for fifteen minutes and not repeat myself :twilightblush:). I'll be avoiding any sexual relations till marriage. Doesn't mean to avoid throwing me into awkward situations, and/or developing a relationship with a pony around me (I have no problem with relationships with different species, so long as they are sentient/sapient/whatever the word is for "able to think rationally/provide consent like any human being can"), but that final step won't be happening till the after the wedding.

As for the potential friends that could be joining (haven't heard back from anyone yet :facehoof:), I'll let them discuss that themselves.

*This is a standard disclaimer I use for whenever I make a joke that can be potentially misinterpreted by anyone.

1241603
Just heard back from one. He's (sorry :twilightblush:) interested and is currently looking over the other stories. He hasn't made any commitment yet.

1241683
Alright, not a problem. Most of my other friends wanted it higher. Just to warn you, many of the females of the Wishing Star world are a little sex-deprived, and are pretty desperate as a result. Also, lack of any Christian-style influences means they have no moral problems with seducing a guy to make sure he stays with her.
Pregnancy is a real good incentive to stick around.

As well, these ponies have little to no real taboos regarding sex the way humans do. It is, to them, something living beings do, no need to get squicked about it. It may be you end up living in that world long enough to get married (or the local equivalent in some areas)

1241761
Well, if he does want to join, just have him post here.

1242702
Yeah, but then again, I'm something of a loner. I am an introvert when it comes to public speaking and other times where it is possible to draw in large amounts of attention (there are times that I can give Flutters a run for her bits in shyness :fluttershyouch:), but can deal with it when there is a job to do. Single child and grew up in the country (not real rural, but definitely not suburban), so I had to find ways to entertain myself when I was young, never grew out of it. Never had a girlfriend either (after all, knowing that I was going to head straight into the Army the moment I could, didn't exactly make me the most datable guy in the world :applejackunsure:). So consider me something of a recluse, especially when it comes to romantic relationships, but nowhere near Twi's level and I am a d:yay: loyal friend.

I let him know, still waiting on a response from everyone else.

Also, I hope the ponies are ready to be introduced to Sabaton :pinkiehappy:

PS: Reason I'm stating this is just so you can get a feel for what kind of a character the RP will produce. The more info you have ahead of time, can help with any characters that you feel need to be modified (after all, kind of a bad idea to be traveling with someone you can't stand for no real reason).

PPS: I'm also ready to start whenever you are. I have a few things that I need to do this week and next week, but I can work around them.

PPPS: Post Scripts are fun :trollestia:

1242721
Well, you might not be the sort for the RP then. It'll be heavily based on you maintaining your herd. Lone Wolves only get so far, but a pack can easily sustain itself.

There isn't need for it to get cloppy, the sex can be tasteful and off-screen, but be warned that it almost definitely will happen.

1242737
I'm no Lone Wolf, but I can be one if necessary. Remember, I'm ex-Army. I was trained to operate as a member of a team, and as an officer, I was trained to lead that team and be a proper leader. However, growing up as I did, I do know how to operate as a warrior with no backup.

If it happens, it happens, but I think that it will almost become a running gag on how I worm my way out of some rather awkward situations or those who are a little too forward (even if that means grabbing the jerk-and-run kit and hauling a:yay:).

EDIT: From the way you're sounding, it looks like my new favorite line will be, "Fox Mike Lima..." :trollestia:

1242744
Oh, I don't mean working as a team, though that'll come in handy.

I meant as a family.

1242783
That's what a military team is. We may not be family by blood, but we are by mud and in some cases, the bonds forged in the heat of battle and war are stronger than the ones by blood. And if things proceed further than that, well, that's up to the individuals and the UCMJ. In most cases, I don't see any legal problems (after all, I'm the only one sworn to the UCMJ, US Code of Conduct and the oath of enlistment), so it would be left to the individuals involved.

As for multiple partners...That's something that would make me extremely uncomfortable for a while, and I would have to wrestle with that idea on my own before I could allow myself to do anything beyond the first partner.

1242783
This is probably a better way to put it, a quote from Article 2 by Muppetz

“We were a family. A twisted, broken, fucked up parody of a family. But still family. [...] I…I wish I had the words to explain it… But it’s just something you know. We didn’t even get along half the time. But it’s still there. It’s something you only understand if you’ve been there.”

While I might not allow myself to be romantically involved with all of my herd for a while, doesn't mean I'd treat them any less than family (even if I do want to smack 'em around from time to time for the crap they might put me through).

1242793
Well, it's good to have a code of honor, or some approximate.
As for the multiple partners, well, you might just be good friends with them and contributing much-needed genetic material to a society with a plethora of females and a dearth of males.

Although I will encourage full-on polygamy in this case, it doesn't work with humanity. Too even in the gender ratio and too much greed abounds. Along with that, humans are built to be, at most, in a two and two relationship, with an alpha and a beta of each gender, allowing for maximum pack capabilities and also preventing adverse genetic drift.

1242849

While I might not allow myself to be romantically involved with all of my herd for a while, doesn't mean I'd treat them any less than family (even if I do want to smack 'em around from time to time for the crap they might put me through).

lolzorz. I understand what you mean. I've known my roommate since High School, and we're close friends. We're basically brothers, and treat each other as such.

1242894
Code of honor...:trollestia: Buddy, you just walked into a subject that I could give a two-hour lecture on, and still have not covered everything. Here's the four primary things that I use as a moral compass (remember, just so you can have a better feel for me as an RP character)

Bible: Any real surprise there? This shapes all of my beliefs and worldviews, and is at the core of my very identity. I'm not a Bible-thumper (I dislike that mentality immensely), nor do I read it as often as I should, but if I'm going through an extremely rough patch, it's the first thing I turn to.

LDRSHIP: The good ol' Army values. Never lead me wrong yet, and I doubt they ever will.

Peacemaker (poem): describes why I enlisted in the first place real well, especially the first half.

The Soldier's Prayer (Also titled "The Battle Prayer"):
Almighty and all present power
Short is the prayer I make to thee
I do not ask in battle hour
For any shields to cover me

I seek no help to smite my foe
I seek no petty victories here
The enemy I hate I know,
To thee dear lord are also dear

The vast unalterable way
From which the stars do not depart
Shall not be pulled aside to stray
The bullets flying to my heart

But this I ask, be by my side
When death is drawing through the sky
Almighty god who also died
Teach me the way that I should die...
It does explain my feelings about combat service, and if it's my turn to die, how I want to go out.

Same kind of deal. Multiple partners would make me extremely uncomfortable. I might be able to warm up to the idea, but it would take time as it contradicts my own beliefs at its face value. While I could completely understand the need for it logically, dealing with it emotionally and spiritually is another matter (I admit, I'm something of a jealous lover, and take betrayal very hard). It would take a great deal of soul-searching before I would be ready to do anything with a second partner willingly.

Anything else you need for this interrogation before we kick the RP off? :trollestia: (See "Alpha Protocol" for the reference)

1242941
heh.
Codes of honor vary, person to person, but many people can elaborate endlessly on theirs.
Mine is labyrinthine in practice and simple in concept: Don't mess with me or my family, and I won't have to ruin you. gets more complicated in what I consider 'family' and what I consider 'messing with' from certain people.

But yeah. The whole storyline for each will take place over 2-to-20 months of total elapsed time. Plus the epilogue.

As such, we can get started as early as next week.

1242965
Next week as in 04AUG13, correct?

1242965
Also, my friend just emailed me. He's in. I'll tell him what he needs to do later today. Too bad it sounds like we won't be running into each other, the fun we would have :trollestia:

1242975
Oh, I never once said that you wouldn't run into each other.
But how would you recognize each other after several months of learning to blend with the locals, each of you in different bodies?

1242981
Names for one thing. I know my friend, and even hired him to work for my small business. He's helping me start a video game design studio, and is working as the lead developer while I'm working as the CEO (and all of the other Chief Officers). Already have a game in the early stages of the development cycle.

1243320
That would do it.
Well, things will start here in the next few days or so, I'll contact you soonish.

1244592
Roger, ready whenever you are. :rainbowdetermined2:

I'm the one Ghost was talking about.

On a scale of 0 to 10, 10 being senseless hentai and 0 being Mormon temple, how cloppy do you want the RP getting?
Also, is that gmail account your Skype name as well? I kinda need your Skype name, I use it for coordination.

1247033

That's my Skype name. For email, I'd prefer to be contacted at logicianmlp@gmail.com

As for cloppiness, I'd be comfortable with maybe a 7 or 8.

1247117
Sitting with most of the crowd, I see. :rainbowwild:
Pretty much everyone but Ghost has said the same.

Alright, if there are any more applications, I'll need to sort through them, but right now you're scheduled for a test drive in about a week or so.

1247192

All right. Just let me know what I have to do and when.

1247192
What time do you want to "meet" up?

1260398
Sometime this week, I haven't decided yet. I need to check which of my evenings are open.
As is, it's looking like the immersion meeting would be tomorrow, where you and I just sit and chat, and I try to get a feel for what sort of player and person you are.

:trollestia:
Open all day tomorrow, just let me know when.

Name: Theresa
Age: 19
Gender: (Biologically) female; (mentally) genderqueer.
Skype: oreo.lunacy

As for the 0 to 10 scale, I'd say about an 8, I think. Somewhere there. I think. Yeah, sure, let's go with that one.
