What just happened?! I'm so mad I want to scream! Two days of aethernet fighting (I had pretty much paired them) and then Dark appears out of nowhere and gets Jade to swoon with one post?!? Tell me this is a joke! :/
Brush
Sorry, sweet wings :( He spent all night talking about her (and thanking me a million times for getting him to sign up to the site). He's read every post she's made as well as her stories... more than once. His exact words were "she's not your marefriend, but she's something else." :/ I then had to endure hours of him freaking out whether she'd like him.
I really can't understand him sometimes. He's under the impression he's crap and that no mare will give him the time of day (because of his glasses). And he keeps telling me how lucky I am, not that I'm not :).
MasterOfThisAstra
Whyyy? Whyyyyy? Buck DarkSparkle! :((( Who is she anyway?
Brush
I'm totally clueless. She's one of the regulars who's a mystery :/ I PMed her to be sure she was okay, but that's it. She replied that everything's fine and that Max is really nice if a bit extreme.
LyraHands
The irony. Dark came back because she has a crush on Max and snatched Jade who we were setting up for Max? This is so similar to a fic it isn't even funny.
MasterOfThisAstra
Hooftoy, I love you, but please shut up. What are we going to do now? I already started asking Max what she thought about Jade in real life. For the most part it was "that jerk" but there was more than a hint she was considering having a one on one with him.
Mota, can you get a pic from him so I can send it to Max? Meanwhile I'll find a way to deal with Dark.
Brush
No offense, Brush, but I'd prefer you don't "deal" with anything in real life. All ten times you've tried things ended in chaos. :/
We agreed to let things happen naturally. Either Jade falls for Max or not. We're not pulling a Starlight, got it?
LyraHands
Well, on the positive side, Jade will definitely go to the meetup. He's already "talked me into" sharing a room with him. If we want to be evil, we can have Brush share a room with Max and then swap. We all know that we'll be together ;)
Lyra, any chance we can meet? I know you're busy with the job thing, but I'll be spending a week away from uni, and we'd love to spend an afternoon with you, if you are free.
MasterOfThisAstra
It all depends on my job thing. I think I might have gotten a temp job. Delivering mail *sigh*. The boss is cool, though, and my coworker is really nice. A bit strange, but nice :D
If I have the time, I'll definitely go to spend an afternoon with you. :) Oh and, Brush looks really sexy in her Molly outfit. *grrrrowl* :P
LyraHands
Traitor! If you've sent those pics to Mota I'll never talk to you again! :/
Brush
You have sexy Brush photos? Send them! I want to see my sweet wings all sexy and blushing :)
MasterOfThisAstra
Oh, she’s hot, believe me. If I didn't have someone, I'd be all over Brush. :P
Getting back to MaxJade, I think we best leave things as they are. Meetup is only five days away, so whatever happens will happen. CEOWitch and Luna have pretty much taken care of everything. Don't tell anypony, but there's a (small) chance that S.Child shows up.
I might try to dress up as my OC. I've already spoken with Rarity if she can make me some handshoes.
LyraHands
Buck a tree both of you!
Brush
Only if that's your turn-on ;)
MasterOfThisAstra
Hush! *blush*
Hmm. What do you guys think of getting Jade to dress up as something? That might increase the chances of JadeMax.
Brush
You just want to see him cosplay, don't you? :P
LyraHands
As it happens, you’ll have your wish. One of the things we discussed last night, I use the term "discussed" loosely, was Jade's idea of costume. I don't need to tell you his family is pretty well off, as most in that college, so he has the means to get something done fast.
The big surprise is that, believe it or not, he's considering going as Poseidon. Now, when I say Poseidon, I mean a Poseidon like the kind my sister draws. (If you know what I mean.)
MasterOfThisAstra
LMAO! This is too much! :) I'm so getting RRBB to hire professional photographers for this :) Just one question: do you think he can pull it off?
LyraHands
Well, I'm not the expert what mares like, but if I were a mare I'd bang him.
MasterOfThisAstra
Say no more. :) That and him being a crystal pegasus is likely to cause quite a stir. Also, do you note what a high number of stallions we have compared to other fansites? Code checked recently and they can all be jealous of our quantity and quality. Well, excluding fighting and colt comic sites, but those are a different thing altogether.
LyraHands
Despite what you think, you run a pretty neat site. And I'm not only talking visual and functionality. Those two are the best there is, but it's mostly you. You're the type of pony that's passionate about something but isn't a megalomaniac. You've no idea how rare that is. Naturally, you'll attract others like you. Tartarus, even your trolls are nice!
MasterOfThisAstra
Stahp! :P It's just something I wanted to do and I'm lucky I was with cool ponies. Max and Code were a huge support. Brush too... although the talk of stallions and cosplay seems to have given her a heart attack. :P
LyraHands
Bleh! I'll have you know that I went to visit Mota, I turned quite a few heads!
Brush
She did. Half of my class asked how good she's in the hay. I told them 8/10.
MasterOfThisAstra
What?!?
Brush
Well, I suppose I could add another 1 for your cute snoring. It sounds exactly like a hummingbird. :)
(She does it when she falls asleep with her wings around me. Really cute.)
MasterOfThisAstra
Mota!!! Don't tell her that!
Brush
Now I feel jealous! :P
Sadly must go to a few job interviews. Be wild you two, and see you tomorrow! :)
LyraHands
ha... well... I don't have anything to comment, I just wanted to comment something
This is most likely my favourite chapter so far. It's so fun! There's 4th wall breaking, teasing Brush(generally Mota's lines are great), there's your own "oh you're too kind" in what Lyra says... so awesome
HYPE
There are also some important bits of info here:
-I'm totally clueless. She's one of the regulars who's a mystery :/
-We're not pulling a Starlight, got it?
-I'm so getting RRBB to hire professional photographers for this :)
I really want to look their face if Jade still being have conversation with Dark Sparkle, and maybe he told Lyra he has a crush on her, and maybe destroy their shipping with Max. It will be hilarious.
I am down for unlimited BrushXMota flirting, but I am also shocked beyond belief that Lyra and "Brush" don't know who Dark Sparkle the former unicorn is. Do they assume she must be lying like Real Luna? I mean, even if Brush is who most people think she is, and knows Dark Sparkle isn't really Twilight because she asked Twilight IRL, then you would think she'd say something to confirm it.
DarkSparkle could be Starlight Glimmer or Moondancer
wow i can`t wait to see jade + darksparkle, it`s always more cool when things are unexpected
Yeah, controlling people's destinies for them? Bad idea. Whatever happens, happens, regardless of the shippers' desires. Unless these folks can get Cadence on board. Then all bets are off.
Shipping senses are tingling...
Seriously, they haven't figured out who DarkSparkle is? How clueless are they? Some users are difficult to figure out, that one was the easiest.
I'm still trying to figure out who Codefilly is.

How did you trick me into writing a companion fic?! :P
So many threads of logic to follow!
I'm saying it now! If I survive to 100 I'll see if I can get (part of) this voiced! :D
7938464 Well, this isn't something most talk openly about. It's sort of like MLP in the early days when it was frowned upon (I assume) to be discussed in public.
As for the former unicorn... there was at least someone who said they were an alicorn wannabe, and two Lunas :)

Don't make me spoil things! O:)
7936804 Good! :P
7939511 You tricked yourself, we just said "yes" Here, let me show you:
YES
7939511 Much as I would TOTALLY ADORE a radioplay-esque edition, this is one of the few 'fics that I think just would simply not work outside of text-based formats. Most of the fun is trying to figure out who is who, and the voices would be a dead-giveaway - unless your VA's impressions were terrible. XD
It'd also be really weird having :earnibble: etc be something regularly spoken aloud..... XD
Companion fics, however... now THAT is something I could get behind! ;-D
I'm getting caught up after letting chapters pile up for awhile, and I will never not love your take on Starlight Glimmer's go-to way of solving problems.

Hmm. That's a good question, considering DS narrowed it down to exactly one with her questionnaire answers. In fact, as was pointed out, exactly one would have sufficed to identify her, especially to somepony who sort-of knew her pre-ascension.
