What the hay, mare?! This Jade has gone way too far! If Tech were here he'd permabanned him long ago. Heck, I would have banned him if you hadn't asked me to take it easy on him. I get Jade has issues, but this isn't the place to resolve them! So tell me what's going on!
CodeFilly
Err, it's sort of complicated.
LyraHands
Lyra, he's received a several warnings plus a few bans. I don't know what his beef is, but the moment anypony says something he goes all nutjob. We can't keep him on the site!
CodeFilly
Can you keep him online until the meetup? That's all I ask.
LyraHands
Lyra, you've always been full of joy and laughs, that's what I love about you, but you can't save all of Equestria. Max, Brush, RRBB, now this... Please, I'm asking as a friend. What's really going on?
CodeFilly
This doesn't go past you, okay? You won't say a word to anypony, okay? Not the old bunch, not Max, not even Mighty. Promise me!
LyraHands
That sounds serious. Okay, I promise. What's the deal?
CodeFilly
Jade is MasterOfThisAstra's classmate (who, by the way is Brush's coltfriend... and also Paint's brother). From what Brush and Mota told me he's this really shy and isolated crystal pegasus who gets picked on a lot.
To cut a very long story short, Brush had the great idea to hitch him and Max. As you saw, things didn't go that way.
LyraHands
Wow! That explains so much.
It's horrible, but I also feel amused... like watching a cart crash in slow motion, but unable to look away because you want to see exactly how pineapples will get squished by watermelons.
I can tell you from now that's one can of worms that'll take weeks to clear. If they haven't killed Jade by then.
CodeFilly
Err?
LyraHands
You've given a repressed pony, a collegecolt at that, the means to act the way he's only dreamt of with zero repercussions. What did you think would happen? All the times he wished he could stand up to somepony but didn't dare? Well here he can, and a ban won't stop him.
How did you agree to this?
CodeFilly
I know. :( I'm a sucker for romance. Brush convinced me that it would be like in her stories. Filly meets colt, they talk a bit, fall in love, get together, marry...
LyraHands
And start a few flame wars in the process. Really, Lyra! I don't know if I should laugh or be mad at you. And Brush. If she wasn't that close I'd pluck her tail feathers off!
What do you know about Jade?
CodeFilly
Nothing! Brush and Mota just said a few things about him and that's it.
LyraHands
You're hiding something, but okay. This might be the biggest mistake ever, but I'll keep him alive until the meetup. If he doesn't behave there, though, that's it! No more chances!
You know you're lucky Tech is busy. He really can't stand these sort of situations. Pity he won't make it to the meetup. Was hoping to see him.
CodeFilly
Yeah, a shame. He's one of the few I haven't met face to face. Did he say what was going on exactly? He was a bit cryptic when I asked.
LyraHands
Yeah. He just told me he's got some family issues. Trying to patch things up with his child. Poor Tech. I get the sense things haven't been going well for him lately. We're so lucky he joined the site.
CodeFilly
Well, he got you to join. :P Did Mighty get to Canterlot? Miss that goof.
LyraHands
Not yet. He was okayed to take a few days off for the event, though. Do you know what that idiot did! He went straight to his boss and asked to get some vacation days "to go to a Nightling convention." :/
Lucky, his boss is a bigger geek than him. From what I heard they spent the rest of the day geeking out until his boss' wife appeared to see why her husband hadn't come back. If you ask me somepony slept in the barn that night :)
CodeFilly
Pfft! I've seen you and Mighty talk geek. You swoon so hard your chest fluff shows! :P
LyraHands
Do you really want me to tell Bob about your college flings?
CodeFilly
So, getting back to Jade, he's fine for a few days, right? Don't make any obvious exceptions, but please don't ban him. If things get bad I'll talk to him myself. At least he hasn't picked a fight with me... yet.
LyraHands
Careful what you wish for. By the by, Mighty was impressed by his reasoning. A lot of the things he said make sense. I totally didn't see the Cadence vs Sombra angle. It's almost a pity Cadence isn't on the forum. I'd ask her if she was.
Do you think that it's true that Blueblood is a user? I tried to do a trace on Luna and TheRealLuna. Luna's actually in the palace, which is a bit scary. Imagine us chatting with a princess on a daily basis :). TheRealLuna's completely untraceable. That also is a bit scary.
CodeFilly
Heh. Who knows? After I met CEOWitch nothing could surprise me. Besides it's not like it matters. Anypony can be a Nightling. Anyone, actually.
LyraHands
Oh please tell me you aren't one of those who think "real humans" are hiding among the users talking to us. :/ It's just a myth! Humans don't really exist.
CodeFilly
... gryphons, Code. Or dragons, diamond dogs, zebras, yaks...
LyraHands
Oh, right, them. Heh heh O:) Nope, I haven't been playing MCRP with Mighty long distance through the aethernet. :P
CodeFilly
I really, really, want to hear details, but must run to work. My boss is great and all, but I feel bad when I'm late.
Ciao!
LyraHands
See you, crazy. :)
