Hello, everyone.
We are currently two weeks away from the next awaited chapter of Midnight Castle: Everhere. While that is wonderful news on itself, that also marks two other occasions:
Firstly, in two weeks the very first Nightling Convention (officially named Crystal Castle after some last minute name changes) will take place. A quick reminder, thanks to @Luna, @number1, @InItForTheShipping, and out very wonderful @LyraHands the convention is a fact and will take place in the Crystal Empire for 3 glorious days (conveniently during the weekend).
The link for registration can be found, as always, on the main page. There are links to hotels with discount prices, be sure to check there first if you need a place to stay.
Secondly, CodeFilly and MightyDragon will be having their wedding celebration (as previously promised). Being the sweet couple that they are, they have requested that no one brings any gifts. They appreciate the thought, but would feel uncomfortable receiving anything. I, however, would like to ask you to be at your best behavior and give them enough breathing space. That's likely to be the best gift possible.
With that the countdown has officially begun!
The TechNightling
I still liked CrystalCon better. I guess I can see why Crystal Castle is better for an official name.
@InItForTheShipping: the shipping contest still is in effect, right?
RRBB
@RRBB: you're already shipped, you can't participate! :P
For the moment looks like I won't be going :( I know, you're all disappointed. Well, so am I. Make sure to take lots of pictures, okay? It will be as if I’m there with you :)
PaintDrop
@PaintDrop: I can take you if you want to. Just say the word. Also, if you're not feeling well you can stay at one of Jade’s places, or at RRBB’s.
I think you could use some fun right now.
MasterOfThisAstra
Thanks, but I think it might be too soon. Appreciate the thought, though. You have fun and send photos.
PaintDrop
@PaintDrop: I'm still hoping you manage to make it. There's something special planned which I think you'd appreciate :)
Everypony else, you know the general rules: wash, drink water regularly, don't annoy stallions (including asking to take photos with them). As I've said before crystal ponies are very understanding, but that's no reason to abuse their hospitality. Also, please no alcohol at the event. ;)
InItForTheShipping
Did you know that the capital of the Crystal Empire is one of the places that had an active portal to Earth? At one point several of the authors through and got to experience a close encounter with a human first hoof. It is also claimed that at least one human has come to Equestria on undercover visits.
Speculator7
@Speculator7: I'm curious will you go to the convention? There are a few things I really want to ask you…
As for me, I'll be going 100%! No way I'm missing MightyDragon’s wedding :D I'm sure DarkSparkle will as well, unless there's some emergency again.
TrueSparkle
@InItForTheShipping: you okay hosting a flock of Griffins? No idea hie MC became so popular, but it did. It started for laughs and guts mostly, then everyone read a little, there were theories, arguments, memes… Now we have the best worst club in Equestria :) HappyG is to blame.
@GLGJ: you coming, lover?
Feather
@TrueSparkle: Don't worry, the Wonderbolts will be there to keep an eye on things. As in we’ll be on duty. Cap took the weekend off, of course, which leaves me and CEOWitch in charge.
The afterparties better be worth it!
Fleetfoot
@FleetFoot: Just be ready for the massive, and I do mean massive, fan presence. Actually, do you know the most common ship at the moment locally? Euryspike. (Don't look at me, I gave nothing to do with that!)
InItForTheShipping
There's actually a very logical explanation for that. Spike is seen as the hero of the Crystal Empire (I, myself, am a fan). Fleetfoot / Euryala was the postermare for Everhere. It's only logically that the two create a power couple.
On an entirely different note. Max and I will be holding a small celebration of our own to mark our wedding. It will be much smaller than MightyDragon’s and also private. I'm saying this, since the information will inevitably leak out and I don't want anyone to feel offended for not being invited.
Let me stress, that My father’s mansion isn't a palace and We’ll only be inviting ponies who we know well. If you're not invited that doesn't mean I hate you or anything, it's just a space constraint.
Jade
I, for one, am really looking forward to this. It will be the first time I go to an event in a while. Not sure how I'll take it, but I’ll be there.
I already got my ticket, so unless I lose my nerve again, it'll be fine.
LittleFinger
@LittleFinger: no worries, we’ll help you chill :) Stick with us and we’ll be set.
RRBB
Will you be bringing Pixel?
SweetStuff
Umm, My whole family will be going, but I, not sure about that… :( It's nice and all that I'll get to be at the event and Applejack is really happy she'd be able to sell Apple family pies, but I'm not sure my brother can handle something of the sort.
His marefriend found it amusing so urged him to go, but knowing some of the Nightlings… umm… I’m not too sure.
WaterBottle
@SweetStuff: Of course! Someone needs to adorably chew my adorable Squishy’s ears :)
@WaterBottle: Relax, your brother’s not that hot. Besides, mist aethernet mares are just talk. Even then, if any dares give him any trouble, just let any of us know and we'll come down on them as a foreclosure inspector!
@all: Who will cosplay?
RRBB
@RRBB: Please no? I don't feel comfortable wearing human clothes in public…
Short&Hoofy
@Short&Hoofy: That sounded so wrong! XD. So you only wear them in private for RRBB? Well, my brother was into that so I can't blame you, but still… it's really true what they say about the quiet ones. ;)
PaintDrop
@PaintDrop: Quiet ones? Ha! Shows you're nowhere near my room at night :P
RRBB
Yay, and I'm locking the thread before things get any iffy :)
There you go, all! This thread has been licked! :D
HopHop
Also, don't hit on Jade?
