//------------------------------// // Spoiler 6 // Story: Equestrian Fanfiction // by Lise //------------------------------// Karl Summer Caretaker, caver, chosen A child of daring explorer biologists, Karl was born in the Pinecoast jungles, far from the civilized world. For the first five years of his life he was one with nature, learning first hand about the various wildlife surrounding him. Moving to Mistmount with his parents he quickly adapted to city life, though the spark of nature continues to shine bright within him. Siblings: Felix Summer, Dawn Summer Place of birth: Zapad, Gumania Occupation: Animal shelter assistant, College student Hobby: cave exploring, mountain climbing, crosswords Mentor deity: Unknown Magic power: Unknown Eternity gem: Everchanger "Looks like a torn limb to me." Guess, I'll continue this, though not sure if anypony would read (with all the traveling going on). I should have been on my way as well, but my stupid brother had to oversleep today. :/ Guess that means RRBB, myself, Brush, and idiot brother would be there round 2. Anyway, we gave a few bombshell's here. First, and I might be wrong, I never took Karl for the adventurer type. Sure, he's all about animals and such, but I thought he'd be one of those mellow hippies, not the child of biologists. Guess that explains his grades and love of crosswords. Second, this is the first time we learn he has siblings (no indication if they are younger, older, or anything else. My take is that Felix is male and Dawn is female. Strange that we never hear about them, though...even if it's Karl we're talking about. Finally, his magic. Curious that no deity's mentioned. I'd have taken him for a Zeus human, but guess I might be wrong. The everchanger, though. Maybe that means he's able to change form like a changeling? Not sure what I think about this. Update: my brother just got home with Brush and... I can only say I totally forgive him! :) We'll be heating for the train in 20. PaintDrop @PaintDrop: Aww! :( Why didn't you tell me earlier? My sister just got tickets for the one o'clock :( I could have asked her to get for your ride. Would have been fun to ride together. How's RRBB? SweetStuff @PaintDrop: I'm on the same train! I wanted to go on a balloon ride, but I made too many sweets O:). @SweetStuff: Aww :( We'll see each other there, though! I'm not surprised about Karl. He's always been described as so normal that it was certain he'd have some mysterious. If it was any other series I'd say he's actually a dryad pony cursed into human form. The way S.Child writes I think Karl would be chosen by a nature deity (maybe Zeus has a wife or girlfriend?). Twist @SweetStuff: Such is life. Would have been fun have you ding on the way there :P And RRBB is fine considering. She could use some hugs when we get to Canterlot. @Twist: How much did you make?!? Meet up at the ticket office at the station in 15? PaintDrop I can answer for myself, thank you! :/ And I definitely don't need hugs! Karl is lame. Guess this will be the first waster chapter of the series. Oh well, maybe we'll get some nice Caprice scenes. RRBB (maybe Zeus has a wife or girlfriend?) Why?!? Isn't it enough that I'm missing the gathering, but I also must imagine Tia with a husband?! TheRealLuna It's interesting to note that if the Everchanger does what it sounds like, Karl would be able to change into every animal (thanks to his flora & fauna knowledge). But that's not all! There's nothing to say that he can't use the stone to change everyone and everything. Transfiguration spells are a thing, so the stone will only give Karl the power to use it on others. Maybe he'll turn the Felina corp into a... Oh my goodness! Everypony, think back to the title for this week! "Hooves of a Human" we thought that it would be Caprice changing into a human, but what if Karl uses the Everchanger to become a stallion? DarkSparkle @DarkSparkle: I read that out to Brush. She started foaming at the mouth then ran to the bathroom. I think I hear her screaming "Y U do this to me?!" Now it's my turn to ask something. Do you realize that Karl could use the Everchanger to transform Bellucio into a stallion? :P PaintDrop @DarkSparkle: you just scored 1000 points in my book! ;) 10/10 would "snuggle" Cassandra. Bob @Bob: Weren't you going to the event?! I thought you and LyraHands were on the early train. SweetStuff @SweetStuff: Oh, I am, but I'll be catching a later train. Work came up. Then again, I'm not sure if I should go at all. Lyra's gonna have such a fit when she sees this. Maybe we should delete it and pretend it never happened? By the way, if this becomes canon that means pontification is legal (and far simpler). We'll have to brace ourselves for a huge influx of ponified stories, since there's nothing stopping the grand nine to become ponies and start living in Equestria. On the other hoof, we can have all the ponies transformed into humans... human Celestia x Zeus anypony? Bob @Bob: I definitely chose the best time to focus on MCE art commissions :D Going to catch the train. See you soon! PaintDrop @Bob: that just sounds wrong! The worst part is that I know it will happen. Worse, everypony is now free to create self-inserts of themselves and treat them as canon. "Hey, it's me Special Snowflake. I was an ordinary mare in Equestria until one day he arrived to change my life and take me to a new strange world." :/ And yes, I have written a few of those. And yes, they might have been a bit suggestive. DarkSparkle @DarkSparkle: Hmmm. (That's me judging you silently.) Just out of curiosity... did you happen to humanize me in any of your stories by chance? -.- TheRealLuna @TheRealLuna: I think she left to catch her ride to Canterlot. SweetStuff @SweetStuff: Suuuuuure she did. TheRealLuna
