"You still in touch?" Joy asked, only hoping after he said it that he had not hit a sensitive vein.
102
Joystick almost chuckled at Raven's reaction to the spell and the sun. "Feels kinda strange, but I'll get used to it, and I doubt I do half as good as an alicorn, but I try. We should probably get back to the group, I think I heard one of them calling out a minute ago."
103
"Alright." Joy looked over the paper once more, and then attempted to follow Raven's instructions to the letter. He thought about memories of sun warming his back before reciting the contents of the paper, softly and clearly, as he was told. Closing his eyes, his magic flared up and he casted the spell onto Raven, hoping that he didn't mess up.

Me. I'm a dumb thing that annoys me and everyone around me...


You are seriously awesome. A+ writing, homie.




Figure I might as well post one of my annoyances, then.

I'm starting to get burnt out on writing again, I think. One of my favorite pastimes, and for some reason my mind thinks "Nah, you don't wanna do this. Trust me. You'll be fine."

Last time this happened, I didn't write for months. For context, roleplaying is the only thing I do on this site outside of the chat. Imagine having one thing you love, and a huge group of friends you do it with, and that passion is suddenly ripped from you.

Just another meal I have on my plate, I guess. It's made me more internet homies than anything else, and something says "Nope, inspiration's gone." Crazy bites.

"Sounds like you found someone you really liked. What was she like?" Joy attempted to find a conversation hook, for some reason choosing the mare Maple mentioned over his past career choice. He'd get to that later.
106
"I think we have the time. Not, uh, not much we have to focus on at the moment," Joy told a half truth. He didn't want to worry Maple with the whole soul thing, not while Maple was having a bit of an alteration of the mind. He just wanted to keep Maple focused on his adult life, and tell stories from that.
107
((Misty, he's on a giant bird, away from the group. Read other people's previous posts before you reply to them, please.))

"Alright." Joy took the paper, examining the writing. "Do I need to read it off, or just cast it, or any other special instructions?" he asked. He was feeling rather happy that he had hit the house of a rather nostalgic seeming individual that loved the Ancient Equestrian language a few years back. That was a difficult one. I'll need to tell that one sometime. Maybe when I'm ready to tell Raven about my 'odd jobs'.
108
"That's definitely not good at all. I don't know how the others trust him, when he's clearly up to something." Joystick remarked, making less than no effort to hide his feelings toward Zealous.
109
Yeah, Nameless is right, although I doubt one of us would say no without providing a reason.

Just as a little bit of warning, keep in mind, some reasons won't involve the OC. These can involve more discussion in PMs between current members.

Three votes, if yes reaches three first, you're accepted, if no gets three votes, your application is denied.

"I don't mind at all, important thing is that you have one. Willing to share?" Joy asked.
112
"Well, I had mistakenly blinked fairly far into the water, and I had no way of making it back to shore. After passing out, I... somehow made it to a desert island." Joy had his suspicions about that, but it involved a name to never be said again. Some things are best left in the past.

"I attempted to explore the island, not making it very far before I encountered a group of tribal ponies. They took me and forced me to come with them, leading me to their village. They lead me to a very eccentric buck by the name of Jolly Depth. He greeted me, rather harshly, but what would you expect towards a stranger on your land?

After exchanging pleasantries, and telling him why I was there, he offered me a way out. I could collect him some crabs, sticks, and his compass and cutlass, and I would be taken close to Pascalo and made an honorary crew member. I collected his supplies, having to go through many trials and tribulations before returning to him with his gear.

Satisfied, he led me aboard his ship and took me back to this beach, teaching me shanties and making me an honorary member of his crew along the way. He extended an open invitation, as well, if I ever wanted to give piracy another shot to send him a letter and he would welcome me back aboard.

We still keep in touch to this day, though I've never taken him up on his offer."
Joy finished the fairly abridged and edited version of his story, to remove certain details.

"That's the story of when I became a pirate! Alright, now it's your turn. Tell me a story from your life, Maple. I'm sure you have at least one interesting tale."
113
((All we can do is wait.))

Mind drifting, Joy finally began to accept the call of sleep. He'd had a busy day, as had the rest. It's a wonder they're not all asleep right now.
114
"Where do I even begin?" He paused and deliberated for a moment. "Hmm... oh! I think I got one, kinda recent though, last couple of years. Want to hear about the time I became a pirate?" Joystick propositioned, remembering Jolly Depth and his 'faithful' pirate's crew like it was just yesterday.
115
Don't worry about it, Maple.
116
"Alright," Joy said, sitting in the chair he had slept in. He had not ordered himself any ice cream, having lost his appetite after the whole ordeal with Rand. "You want to start, or should I?"
117
"Okay, deal." Joy met the hoof, making the promise to Maple. "Let's go."

((Skip to the room, or write out the whole ice cream selection?))
118
"It...it can wait until later, okay?" Joy felt that this was certainly not the time to bring up the fact that Rand had Maple's soul, and also that he had no idea how to get it back. Well... I know of a pony... no. Not in a million years. Sorry.

"Just remember who you are. Know what? We'll get ice cream, or what ever, and you can tell me a couple stories from the eventful life that there is no way you didn't have, and I'll tell you some of mine. Deal?"
119
"I'm sure," Joy lied through his teeth, attempting to give Maple some hope, and some for himself, too. "I wouldn't even dream of letting him hurting ya. I'll stick by you, okay? You're gonna be alright."
120
Joy let out a small noise of surprise upon the hug, and felt slightly uncomfortable. That feeling was not as prominent as the need to comfort his friend, however.

"It'll be okay," he said while returning the hug, not knowing if he was lying or not. "It's alright. You're gonna be okay, no one's gonna hurt you."
