"Maple, what's happening? Don't be scared, you'll be okay." Joystick regretted saying that, but he wanted to try to calm Maple.


"I'm gonna get some crazy payback on Rand, after this," he whispered.

"You'll be okay," he repeated himself. "Don't worry."
122
"At least you didn't say, like, ten. Remember that, Maple, you're older than me. Okay? Remember that." Joy repeated himself, still worried for Maple's well being.
123
"Maple, you almost called me dad. You're not okay. The hex has to be doing something. How old are you, Maple? Not right now, how old are you actually?" Joy asked, just to assess the extent of the alterations to Maple.
124
"Uh...oh. That is really terrible.

Maple, are you okay? Besides being a colt again, do you feel strange?"
Joy became even more concerned with Maple's comment. How much damage did he do?
125
"I'll explain, trust me." If Maple was paying attention to Joystick's tone, he could hear the worry evident in his voice.
126
"Maple, we gotta talk. Rand is a psychopath. He told us the extent of his hexes, and a little of how they work. Let's go back to the inn room, somewhere where it's a little more private. Open invitation to you, too, Rush!" Joy did not want to put the new development bluntly. Maple had been a wreck for the past couple of days just because he had been turned into a colt. He needed to put it gently, and in a delicate manner, for risk of breaking the poor colt's spirit.
127
Joy continued to run back towards the beach, though staying with Rush, concerned for Maple still. The duo eventually broke through the treeline, Joy headed straight for Maple.

"Maple!" he shouted across the sands. "Come here!"
128
Joy followed, taking urgent and careless steps. "Starting to agree with you there. I'm glad he moved in after I moved out."
129
"Dangit. We have to get back to Maple. That's a high priority." Joy was unsure of the intentions of Rand, but if he was anything like Joy thought the Card-Mare to be, Maple was in trouble.
130
"Does that mean...you can't be implying what I think you are, right?" Joy said, concerned for Maple. "You are, aren't you?"
131
Joy became anxious, knowing the chances of something going horribly wrong with evil artifacts around this beach.

Like he did with Maple... Joy thought, no longer as cocky as he was the moment before.
132
Joy saw Rush's ear returned to normal, then feeling a tickle in the back of his throat. Giving a cough, he didn't put two and two together until he opened his mouth. "Yeah! Wait..." The realization set in. "Yeah! Never underestimate Rush, 'friend'!" Lacing the word friend with figurative venom, Joy taunted Rand. Happy that there was now an out, he was not worried about any consequences.
133
Probably the best decision, he thought, keeping his mouth shut for risk of leaving a bad impression towards Raven. He instead opted to silently glare, eyes fire burning into the side of Zealous' head.
134
"Tell me h-" Joy began, protests interrupted by suddenly being magically lifted and tossed through the ring of fire.

Angry; surprised, and a little warmer than usual, Joy, after a few minutes of shock, stood up from his newfound seat on the other side of the ring.

"What is your problem? You don't throw ponies through fire! That's kinda rude, if ya didn't know!" He naturally had a bad reaction to being thrown through fire, as most would. Joy did not notice that his questions weren't answered.
135
((Sorry for not being awake, needed to wake up early today.))

"What? No!" he protested. "I'm a whole lotta things, but carny? Ain't one of them. I'm not gonna go through fire, and definitely not because you said so!" Finally allowing his frustration to bleed through, Joystick was no longer thinking about his action's reaction, instead just acting.

"Besides, deserve it? What did Maple ever so to deserve being turned into a colt?" Joystick left his own name out when talking about who deserved what. He knew with his past, and all, he deserved something. He'd robbed ponies, been a small time and a big time theif, he'd left his friend of more than ten years in danger so he could go back to a beach!

Wait... I should probably go see if Flame is okay, soon. Should really do something about that. Not quite the time to be thinking about this, though.

"What is it about this that makes it oh, so, fun to you? Is it the fact that you think you have some sort of control? Maybe you just can't get anyone else to play with, so you have to get your own? Sorry, but I've got plenty of friends right now, and I've got plenty of problems. I don't need any more."
136
I disagree, Grizz. You're a great roleplayer, and that's not fiction.
137
"Well, the last time we talked, you cursed me and Maple and then left us on the beach. Not very friendly." Joy felt a little uncomfortable with the close proximity, and just perturbed by the buck overall.
138
Moon is an old friend of ours, he was still in the RP when craziness happened and made us go sign up.

Sometimes it's best to adapt in roleplaying. I went from terrible roleplaying over voice chats to terrible roleplaying here to average roleplaying here. Always best to evolve.

Randomness...isn't often appreciated in most serious roleplay communities. Usually people like characters to act how they would according to one main set of personality traits, and not as a jumbled set of many contradicting traits. In comedic roleplays is where randomness better fits, and even then, some frown upon it.

Remember, as well, there can always be one little thing that influences a vote. Whether it be writing style, power, or a sore attitude.

When being rejected, it's always best to take a good look at the traits most discussed in that ballot.




As I said earlier as well, we can't take any more risks when it comes to bending rules if we can help it. I'd rather not make the mod team have more work.

Joy cursed. "Not your friend, just to clarify! You turned Maple into a colt! You did...this!" He gestured to his throat and mouth.  [Color=hotpink]"You're squatting near my old house! Friends don't exactly use magic to hex each other when they first meet, either...well, not usually,"[/color] he said, thinking of White and Sweet. "I'd taunt you more, but honestly, I saw what good that did."

On the off chance you actually come back and see this, I'm posting it.


Spoiler: To Mogeko • show
We aren't harsh, just cautious. We've accepted a lot of bad roleplayers, and we've been burnt because of it. And truth be told? Given your actions in the Amani Changeling RP, I would've said no myself.  With no reason and explanation, you attacked other players while brandishing a knife.

We've broken that rule enough, and it's been made clear we don't have another warning. It made no sense, and made me unhappy.

As Check said, as well, we are trying to keep the RP convertable to a different format than ponies, so we are not assuming that the Lunar Republic is a thing.




Moon would be ashamed if we let another situation like the one in the past happen, especially now that we're a sign-up. sorry doom! just an example.



Now that that's out of the way, I've been going back through the roleplay to edit my posts some, and stumbled upon both the Case, the waiter, and the bell's first ringing. Real good times. Planning to go most of the way through the story, however long that would take.
