@all: Since we haven't these in a while, I thought it might be fun :) (And a huge thanks for the impromptu meetup! Had forgotten how much fun that was.)
How about a round of Friend, Marry, Pie?
Remember the most important thing is stating the reasons. Also, we're only sticking to main cast and strong supporting. :) I'll go first!
Friend: Molly, because she's fun in Everwhere
Marry: Cassandra (my love... :P)
Pie: Blazen for being such a clueless idiot!LyraHands
Wow! I remember those :) Fun fun fun! So good to have you back :) I've been trying to wrap my head round this DDD fic... it's just so... it! Like that apple peal that gets stuck between your teeth, yet you don't want to get rid of it because it still has the taste of apple.
There's so much wrong about it and yet it's fine :/ The fillies in class love it for some reason (I've started showing fics from the site. @Brush, @EndlessHearts, you have lots of fans. :))
Back to the new poll:
Friend: Omni (he could use one)
Marry: Danny
Pie: Loki (just for the fun of it :))DannyFan
@LyraHands: Happy you are back and well. :) And sorry for being so inactive lately. Work has picked up a lot, and Tech has been a gentlecolt during my entire visit to Trottingham. He's moved here now, so we get to see each other more often.
Friend: Bellucio (professional interest)
Marry: Karl (he's grown on me. I like how calm he is)
Pie: Omni (I think he'd appreciate it anyway O:))Candle
Go Candle! :) it's always the quiet ones, eh? :)
...thinking about it, it really is always the quiet ones. Just take a minute to think about it, ponies!Also, don't hit on Jade
RRBB
@RRBB: Surprisingly, you're right for once :)
Why didn't you come to the party, by the way? It was great! Well maybe a bit too much smooching by the end, but other than that... Kidding, just kidding. Or am I? :P
Friend: Megan (always wanted a dependable big sister. No offense, Mota, but I'm more worried about you than myself)
Marry: Icelos (he's just so quiet and mysterious)
Pie: Zeus (because "he knows what he did" as a stallion would say :))PaintDrop
Friend: Bellucio (He's stronger than he makes out to be.)
Marry: Is Caprice an option?
Pie: Molly (she can be so stupid)Short&Hoofy
@PaintDrop: Yeah. Well, Pixel was being difficult. At times he gets be really mad, but is so adorable that I'm completely powerless :/ (rip me) All's good, though. And there will be next time. (Who smooched who?)
Friend: Euryala
Marry: Euryala
Pie: Euryala (I see too much of myself in her)@Candle: Score! :)
RRBB
@LyraHands: You're supposed to be resting, not partying away my savings! @DaBoss, can't you kidnap her (gently) or something? Clearly she has too much energy for her own good :P
Now let me see...
Friend: Poseidon
Marry: Lyra... I mean Hades
Pie: Everyone else!Bob
It's been so long since we had one of these :)
Friend: Danny (why would anypony choose anyone else is beyond me)
Marry: Bellucio (if he wasn't taken :/)
Pie: Echo (I really hate her... even if she's Blueblood's favorite)Luna
Friend: Danny (because he's a nerd)
Marry: Bellucio, since he's mine! Alll mine! Actually that would be disturbing. Nah, I'll skip this one
Pie: Luna, because reasons!TheRealLuna
Oh my. I'm definitely having a talk with you about that next time we meet :D So many things I didn't suspect about you :)
@LyraHands: I cried when you left (don't you start reading into this, you! You know who you are!) I'll try to visit, but you try as well :)
Getting back to the other important business:
Friend: Zeus ('cause we buds, yo!)
Marry: Bellucio (them curves :))
Pie: Anyone who nears Bellucio without my permission!InItForTheShipping
@Brush, @MixaMax: Hey, what about you two? Let's do this like in the good old days! :)
@Short&Hoofy: Pieing Molly... I can see that. :D
RRBB
Since I've a few months of freedom left, I might have a go :)
Friend: Eric (even possessed by Echo, he's the smart one.)
Marry: Loki (I know he's evil, but he plays board games so he can't be all bad...)
Pie: Echo (She's stealing my friend and my husband)CodeFilly
@CodeFilly: Ouch! Well if that's how we go, I'll marry Echo just to spite you! And well run off together! And do stuff and things!
MightyDragon
@MightyDragon: You didn't read the whole arc, did you? :P
LyraHands
@RRBB: Not in the mood right now :( Maybe later. Have some apologizing to do first. Thanks for the poke, though. Really appreciate it.
Brush
Err, so many choices. I mean the first one is easy: I've befriend everyone, even Loki (he deserves a second chance). Marry, though... argh. Oh well, here goes:
Friend: All
Marry: Icelos (because he's intelligent, mysterious, and has an unclear past.)
Pie: Omni (just because I know he'll like it :D)DarkSparkle
Omni is my spirit animal! :)))
PPI
It feels like I haven't been here forever. Glad to know that everything went well with the latest in indents. (@CEOWitch, @PaintDrop: sorry I couldn't help. Was sent to do training near the coast.)
Friend: Caprice (a familiar face)
Marry: Grown up Molly. (Sorry, I just find her so cute, in a powerful sorceress type of way. Megan and Cassandra are just a bit too OP for me. :))
Pie: Loki (I actually liked him until the last chapter...)SgtPepper
@SgtPepper: You're fine. :) I'm sure you would have helped if you had the chance.
Seems I must bite the arrow now. Let me see...
Friend: Blazen (He ma human! :))
Marry: Caprice (she's a pegasus, and at least I know she could keep up with me and face any danger known to man and pony :))
Pie: Bellucio (for being a prettycolt!)CEOWitch
I'll pass, if I may. It isn't that I don't enjoy such games, but they are better suited for the young. Definitely some interesting choices, though.
The TechNightling
Okay, why isn't anyone else participating? :(
LyraHands
Sadly this is what happens with a small pool. We've just reached "me too" territory and most people (myself included) would prefer to pass. (I think that Tech did for other reasons, though.)
It was fun, but I think it might be better to make a poll on this. That way everyone can vote and not feel embarrassed for not being the first.
@The TechNightling, @CodeFilly: can you make that happen?
LightSparkle
@LightSparkle: I can code too, you know! :/
MightyDragon
@MightyDragon: You forfeited your chance when you ran away with Echo!
@LightSparkle: Sure thing, I'll get on it. Shouldn't be long.
CodeFilly
Tyrant!
MightyDragon
I really liked the comment by Pinkie about Omni. Given what was said about him he would probably eat all the pies thrown at him too. Bob's reaction to Lyra was funny as well.
Well, that could be taken several ways...
Some fun fluff, though the drama's still lurking underneath the surface. Still, best to enjoy the good times while they last.
I want to see TheRealLuna meet with Luna, with shenanigans!!
You go, Candle!
That's...interesting. If they meant the user Luna, that implies that TheRealLuna is...shit, is that Blueblood?
We all ship DannyFan and WaterBottle now, right?
8156779 I'm beginning to think TheRealLuna is another high placed palace staffer, just like Luna (the user). I think it's Kibutz.
Wait, apologizing? Do you mean to him? You did nothing wrong! He's being a selfish stuck up prick! CEO even said as much (in kinder words). And now... Argh, I know it's irrational but this makes me even more angry at him.
8156308 They are very alike :)
8156346
8156456
8156779
The truth is more stranger than you think...
8156978 :) How did that even become an option?
8157010 Close, but... actually not so close ;) It will be revealed eventually :)
8157753 To Rarity ;) They had a fight because Rarity made her be late for the grand reveal, remember?
8157785 Oh, oops. I'm guessing Rarity had no idea that Fluttershy had something important to do otherwise she wouldn't have done that I'm sure.
8157851 Well,somepony was keeping it a secret. Besides, Brush has difficulty refusing outside of the net :)
8157853 I wonder if it came out during their fight? Whether or not it did, when Rarity finds out she's going to feel so guilty, even though it isn't her fault.
8157753
Nothing wrong? Not even when he asked for weeks and weeks to make their relationship public and she refused, until she finally did agree and promised to make an announcement about it only to break her promise and hang out with Rarity instead?
Tell me, if the situation were reversed and it was he who broke the promise to Fluttershy, acting like he was afraid to make anything official, acting like he was ashamed to be together, until she broke up with him—would you react the same way?
8157766 One pony who can steal her heart!
8157783 The minute PaintDrop drew an intimate portrait of DannyFan sucking on an apple peel in his teeth and gave that picture to WaterBottle. :)
This is what's killing the flow for me.
Still totally into the story, but I lose the imagery when sentences like that are spread across the story.
