Gracie's eyes widened, "Risking lives?! Are we doing something dangerous? I thought we were just looking for a book! Why do we have to break into a castle just to get a book anyways? Can't we just ask to borrow it? Why is the book we're looking for in a castle in the first place? Shouldn't it be in a library?"
As Gracie's suspicions about the situation rose, her behavior began becoming more irratic. The thought of just running away crossed her mind and she started staggering backwards, half in panic.

Gracie shyly waves at the guard from behind Peacekeeper. Ponies in armor always did intimidate her for some reason, especially ones with stern looks. In fact, this whole castle business was visibly making her unsettled. It was just so... cramped here.
"I think we're looking for a book. Do you know of any books here?"

Gracie was in hot pursuit of Peacekeeper, being sure not to be left behind, since she sensed they were all in a hurry. However, she did take a second to pull out a band aid and put it on the spot where the knocked out guard was hit.

Gracie happily bounced around Nocturna, impressed by her intelligence, even though she didn't realize that she was talking about sneaking into a castle.
"Wow! You must come here a lot if you know all that!"

Upon hearing the voice, Gracie bravely hid behind Peacekeeper, since he happened to be the nearest to her at the time.
"He's saying Edge, but I only remember a pony named Combo. Maybe Edge was the name of that other pony! What happened to him, anyway?"
Just to be safe, Gracie bit onto Peacekeepers tail so she wouldn't get seperated from him if this other pony were to meet them.

"I-I wasn't scared! See how brave I was back there?" Gracie boasted, twirling once in place. Satisfied with her performance, she merrily skipped about behind Peacekeeper as she followed him around.

Gracie puffed up her cheeks angrily when she was so nonchalantly introduced as "the filly that got led away".
"Heeeeey!I was just being helpful from all the way over here... in case bad stuff happen, since I don't like being near bad stuff. But bad stuff isn't happening now, right?"
Gracie shook her head vigerously, trying to remove any excess twigs from her mane, so she could be more presentable. Afterwards, she happily troted back over towards Nocturna, since it seemed that the tension had lessened significantly. She definately wanted to introduce herself to Combo properly, but she also managed to blurt out everything that was engrained into her (thankfully) short term memory.
"I'm Gracie Sky, and I'm from Canterlot! I just fell out of the sky and made all sorts of friends and something about time, magic, and chips! They promised to take me back to Canterlot before I get in trouble for getting lost (an incorrect assumption), but I'd like to make many more friends on the way!"

Listening to the two go back and forth, Gracie had the feeling that Nocturna and Combo shared mutual distrust, which troubled her greatly. She still couldn't comprehend what they were talking about, only being able to gauge the tones of their voices to come to her conclusions. What would happen if this continued? Was there the possibility things could get violent? More than anything, Gracie did not like seeing ponies fighting.
But what could she possibly say? The context of this converstaion went over her head and saying something silly could make things worse. Still, it was in Gracie's nature to at least try her best!
"I hope you're not being mean to each other! Don't you know the rules? You're only allowed to say nice things! Even if something is wrong, you forgive it and try to make it right! If you don't follow the rules, you have to take a time out!"

Gracie was visually upset about being led away from Nocturna and being refered to as obtrusive... at least it sounded like a word she didn't want to be! Regardless, she didn't want to oppose Radiovid's wishes, so she allowed herself to be led away, although she did have a few words to say as she was leaving. "But I just want to be helpful! I promise I can be helpful! What's a vampony anyway? Is it like a batpony, because I know a lot of batponies!"

Gracie finally managed to come to her senses and rose to her feet, feeling a bit disoriented. She noticed that she was hidden beside some bushes and from what she could tell, there was a conflict nearby. Yes, she could see both Peace brothers (unconfirmed) and Nocturna confronting this Earth Pony she had never seen before.
Not considering the situation any further, Gracie bumbled out from behind the bushes, but tripped and fell forward. Thankfully her wings caught some air and managed to keep her from falling on her face. After some more bumbling, she made her way to Nocturna. "Are we on an adventure yet? Who is the wierd pony here? Why are there sticks in my mane?"

Shortly after witnessing the blinding spell from Illusion, Gracie began scampering around blindly in a confused panic as a result of mysteriously losing her eyesight within an instant for reasons beyond her understanding. She eventually ran face first into the boulder, which momentarily stunned her. It was very likely somepony would need to carry her in the current state she was in if she were to keep up with the others.

The only I really would like to know is why Jeff's parents would send a non-unicorn to unicorn school. I'm fairly sure there is a school for the non-unicorns in Canterlot.
Still, it's an interesting concept to pull magic into the world of Pegasi. I would like to see what you do with it. I don't know enough about the character or his cutie mark (assuming he has one right now) to suggest a name. I am particularly interested in his quirks and what he likes to do during his free time. So far, you mentioned an interest of magic, but if that's it, then you may want to go into more detail about that and provide some more specific examples.

As the game master, you should be moving the plot along and causing events a little bit faster than you are.
I can only react to things that happen and words that are spoken that are related to my character, but I can only react so much before I must recieve a new prompt. The same can be said of the others as well, which is why I try to create "something to react to" in my posts. However, since I'm not the GM, such creation must only involve Gracie Sky herself, whereas you control the world, the plot, and everypony who is not controlled by a specific RPer here (NPCs).
I'm guessing you are simply waiting until the majority of the users signed up for this RP respond to your latest prompt, which is fine, of course. However, also be aware of what we just previously discussed: the activeness of the cast. So far, I have noted 4 of us (including you) can post at a moment's notice. The rest seem to be come and go, but in the end, it is their responsibility to participate. The rest of the cast should not be held back because somepony else isn't participating.
I'm also considering the pace of the RP as well, since obviously we can't all post at the same rate. In fact, Gracie was left out of the grocery shopping routine because I was away for that day and the entire event was resolved within that day, which is bad pacing imo. I did have a few shenanegians I wanted Gracie to perform there, and she was asked to come along, but I decided to just let it pass. I'd like to say a healthy pace is 1-2 posts a day, but you are allowed to be inactive for approximately 1 day without getting completely left in the dark. However, it's been several days, if not a whole week, that a few of cast have been away. They can easily play catch up or ask for a summary of the events. A good RPer can reinsert themselves at almost any point and it's equally as easy for the rest of us to accept their reentry and continue as if they were there all along.
I apologize if this sounds like I'm complaining or preaching. I am simply trying to offer advice, explaining at length the reasons for my logic. I do believe the pace of the RP is a bit slower than I'd like. That's all I'm really saying. If you can't make it faster or feel it would do more harm than good, I completely understand. I just feel bad when I go entire days without contributing to the storyline because we are waiting for the less active people to react.

Gracie frowned, still unsatisfied with hiding in this cave from the two ponies outside. Unfortunately for her, she had no idea what she could do about it. The most rational choice was to just sit by idly and wait to see what happened. However, Gracie felt a combination of restlessness and danger flood her thoughts. What exactly would happen if they were discovered? Why didn't the two ponies outside leave by now? What were they doing here in the first place? It seemed the only thing the group knew about them was that there were two of them and something about not liking Pegasi. This didn't sit well with Gracie as a means to judge these ponies as a threat. After all, she was able to recall yesterday, when she was a stranger to the group and they treated her as a threat. Now they (hopefully) knew that she wasn't threatening at all, and that there was the possibility that they weren't either.
Frustrated, Gracie glared at Peacekeeper. "How do you know they are bad? Maybe they aren't that bad! We're not even giving them a chance! If they don't like Pegasi, then maybe you can talk to them instead! We're just as suspicious as they are if we're all hiding in this cave. I don't like this! I don't! Maybe they're lost or need help. Even if they aren't all that good, we gotta at least try! If you don't want to try, then I will! Even if they don't like me for being a Pegasus, I can still try to change their minds!"
With that, Gracie attempted to move the boulder out of her way with her head, but the things are far too big for her to even budge.

I'm a little worried myself. I've noticed in the last few pages that it has just been 4 of us, which is like half the original cast.
Of course, I generally anticipate that participants in the average RP will leave without notice. It's still a bit demoralizing when it does occur, though.
However, if given the go, I can continue, but I still feel hesitant about it.

Gracie was sitting next to the Peace brothers, still trying to ascertain what exactly was going on and why she was brought back to the cave. She was really itching to go do something adventurous or at least in the general direction of Canterlot. She overheard one of them whispering about two ponies outside and not being found by those ponies. It was interesting enough to her to merit her own inquisition into the matter.
"Why are we hiding from them? I wanna go meet them! I bet they're good ponies!"

Gracie suddenly found herself being led back into the cave with Breaker and Illusion talking to her about the scenario regarding Nocturna and another pony named Greenlight. Unfortunately, 90% of the story went over her head, but she cheerfully nodded as she was being spoken to. The 10% she did retain was the word "foal" and "mother".
Gracie wasn't even sure why they all were walking into the cave. However, she was glad that finally on the move, even if they were simply going back to that wierd cave. Hopefully they weren't going in there just to argue more!

As Gracie was trying to reason with the two arguing ponies, Breaker grabbed her and pulled her away from the conflict. She objected to being pulled away, but then a few things were explained to her. She wasn't following what Breaker was telling her, since her mind was still occupied with trying to stop the arguing, but she did catch onto that reminded her to ask what they were arguing about in the first place.
All it came down to now is if Gracie wanted to know such information. "Yes! I mean... no! I mean... it doesn't matter! I don't understand adults! They always seem to argue and disagree! They're like bullies to each other and I don't like bullies! And look everytime and see when ponies are mad and yell a lot, they're always sad afterwards. I don't understand why ponies want to be sad! It makes me feel sad too and I don't like being sad!"

It felt like they didn't even slow down after she told them to get along! Of course, maybe if she understood what they were talking about, this would make more sense to her. However, all she could feel was the distrust emanating from Nocturna and Maple. Gracie stepped backwards a bit, trying to formulate a new plan to get them to stop fighting. It seemed her initial idea of yelling at them wasn't effective at all. She already suspected a long time ago that she wasn't exactly the best at solving problems. She knew she was far better at making them worse.
Still, she felt obligated to try anyway. With nothing coming to mind for the time being, Gracie staggered around, thinking about taking a step forward but immediately deciding against it. She quickly glanced around to see if she would find something nearby that would give her a clue. Ah! She remembered she still had that half eaten apple Peace Keeper gave her! It's a good thing she decided to save it for later! Back at the orphanage, no matter how upset Gracie ever was, being given a free apple always seemed to brighten up her day!
Convinced by the ill-founded logic that an apple would solve this quarrel, Gracie ran between the two ponies and tried talking with them again. "Wait! Look! I brought you an apple that I was saving! I want to give it to you as a gift, but you have to promise that you'll be nice to each other! Please! We're all nice ponies, right?"

Gracie has already commited to an act of scouting the perimeter, in which I alluded that something could've been watching her from hiding, but that's when we all decided to go shopping, so the possibility was put on hold. I don't feel comfortable revisiting that sub-plot, so Gracie is probably not going to wander away from the group while they remain near the cave unless specifically asked to.
