OOC: Welcome to My Little MoFo, or Group Mission: Friendship is Magic (GM: FiM for short)!  This is NOT some big ol' convoluted GM like ones we've done in the past, so you don't need to worry about anything that's ever happened before to join!  You can join with whatever character you want, whether as your avatar or screenname or a fictional character you made or whoever you like, but as pointed out, your character will be transformed into a My Little Pony (either regular, pegasus or unicorn type) that you can describe however you like!  Leraku's sorta filling in the Spike gap there, so while you can be something like Spike if you want, or some other MLP creature, ideally we'll have mostly ponies!  Familiarity with the MLP cartoon is nice but absolutely not necessary to join in the fun!

As an RP, this should follow general RP conventions; we may start an OOC thread to talk about the story separately out of character, but if you want to mention something in here that isn't part of the story, just use OOC as a tag for that, and IC for a tag when you start adding to the story.  An RP is just a group of people writing a story, and since this is the SPA we can be pretty carefree about it, just make sure not to horseplay-err, powerplay (like being invincible or never getting hit or always doing the right thing), and don't control other people's characters too much (having them say lines to move the story along is fine as long as it's in character, but making them jump into lava or say dumb things isn't cool).  Try not to use signatures either if you can help it.  I can't think of much else necessary, so here we go!

IC:
Justin woke up with a headache.  He already knew that he had too much root beer at last night's party, and it had only been Charlie's steady hand that had helped him back to his apartment.  He'd have to thank her later for that...although, why did it feel like he was lying on grass...

He slowly opened one turquoise eye...then the other, and suddenly he sat upright - although "sitting" is kind of weird when you've got four legs all of a sudden.  "What the...where am I?"  He looked down at himself; he wasn't human anymore, but an orange pony with a neatly-parted blue mane and tail, and a symbol of a V-shaped pair of shades on either side of his hindquarters.  His eyes widened.  "Sweet jibblis wiggly what happened to my butt!?"

He stood up shakily on his four legs, and walked over to a nearby stream in the open field - one glance at the water showed that on top of being transformed completely into a pony, he had a unicorn horn sticking out of his forehead.  He swallowed.  "Okay...note to self.  Never drinking that much root beer again."  He knew in his heart that it was an empty promise, but he felt better saying it anyway.

Justin wandered around, getting used to his new form as he looked around for anyone else.  "Gee, there's a town over there...I wonder if someone there can tell me what happened?"  For lack of anything better to do, he headed toward the town, still looking around for anyone else who might help explain his predicament...

And he spotted a miniature lemur with slightly faded shaggy green fur and white hair, wearing a red zippered vest, black cargo pants, black fingerless gloves, and possibly wearing goggles.  He also had a messenger back over his shoulder.  "Hey, um, you there!" called out Justin, uncertain if talking unicorns were a regular enough appearance not to cause trouble here, "Can you tell me where I am?  I think I kinda got lost.  My name's Justin."

Leraku blinked and looked around, hearing something. He noticed a unicorn but, wasn't sure whether or not that was the person who talked. But either way, he walked over. "Uh... Hey. I think. Yeah. I'm lost too... The name's Leraku. Was laying in my field one minute and then woke up here, all tiny-er and shoeless. Noticed that town over there though... boy, do you remind me of someone, though..." Leraku looked over the unicorn for a few minutes, then sighed, accidentally spurting a little flame out of his mouth. He blinked at the flame, still not sure how it kept happening. He looked back at the unicorn...

Mobius found himself in a situation like none he'd ever known...he had officially woken up by a mysterious dream, and then fallen out of bed onto his back... 

(OOC: And THIS is what I meant by things that'd normally've been encouraged in MFC getting relegated to "spam"! I'll make my intro post when/if I can think of a decent way in... )

{{ We discussed this amongs ourselves in chat, and decided it's more that it fits the SPA Theme, Sam, and not so much it not fitting. XD }}

OOC: The theme was the main reason.  That said, if it'll get some more fun activity going in MFC, we should consider moving it!  After all, there are some people who wouldn't think to check in the SPA for something like this.  And if we can convince someone to pony-ize MFC...

And for the record, I have yet to actually watch the cartoon, although it is certainly in my plans to do so very soon.  You know, for RP research!

IC:
Justin blinked back at the lemur.  Did this guy just breathe fire? he thought.  Maybe people won't think that much of an orange unicorn then.

"I dunno who I'd remind you of, Leraku," said Justin with a shrug of his equine shoulders.  "Anyway, maybe we should head toward that town for now and see if anyone there knows where we are."  He looked in the direction of the town again.  "It looks like a cheery place, anyway.  Certainly better than if we had to go up to some spooky old castle or something."  He laughed, although more from trying to relax the unease of having been transformed than because he really thought he said something funny.

"Well, if you don't mind, it'll take forever to get there if I walk, so I'll just hitch a ride."  Leraku hopped up onto Justin's back before the pony could protest, but Justin found that his back and legs were very easily strong enough to carry the lemur.

"Um...okay," said Justin, not entirely sure he liked this arrangement, but he didn't want to be rude to the first person who seemed helpful.

Justin started to walk, but he kept stumbling.  Fortunately the grass was fairly soft, and his pony body seemed relatively resilient, but it was still frustrating.  At least the weather was really nice today; there were only a few white puffy clouds in the sky.  "Man, it's like I have two left feet!"

"But you do have two left feet," pointed out Leraku.

"Oh...right.  Ha ha."

They walked in silence for a bit more, giving Justin time to try to figure out how to walk without looking like an idiot or stumbling over himself.  Root beer just gets me drunk, it doesn't make me shapeshift, he thought.  So there's gotta be some reasonable explanation for th-

That thought ended as soon as they came across a white pony with red and blue for mane and tail, and on top of that?  It had wings, large feathery ones.

Justin facehoofed.  "Okay, I give up, this is just getting really weird now."

Leraku looked over Justin's head, laying on the back of his head on his belly. He peered around the horn at the pegasus.

"Oookay. Things are definitely not normal. It's obvious that you're usually not like this, i'm ususally bigger, and... well, i dunno about this guy. If it is a guy. I can't tell anymore." Leraku slid off Justin, and noticed he was floating a bit. He looked down, his feet were glowing in fire similar to his breath. "...Ooh. I can dig this." He looked back up after landing, and inspected the pegasi...

Mobius had barely gotten his thoughts together when he was discovered upon by a pony and a creature whom was perched comfortably over said ponies back, both of which Mobius regarded for a moment with a smirk. " Well, guess I'm not the only equine in town, eh? "

He paused and looked around for a moment, rubbing his chin with one hoof a moment as he tried to figure out just where they were, and what the crap this was...hell, he didn't really know who they were, although he DID have the feeling he'd met them before, somehow.

At this point, the Lemur was inspecting him on his back, which prompted him with the random urge to twitch his wings a little...somewhat unsure about the idea of something riding on him.

" So who are you guys? Something feels a little off right now, and I'm not sure what's going on...so excuse me if I figure it's appropriate to play 20 questions with you right now! "

         
The black fennec awoke to a scene that he didn't recognize. The last thing he could remember was coming out of warp above MFW. Had he crashed? He hoped not, but he couldn't ignore the possibility. He looked himself over, examining for injury, to find that he was not only completely naked, but had transformed into a horse. Black fur, dull grey mane, and a small root covered gem emblem upon his rear. "That's the last time I eat old take out from Murphy's on a patrol..."

          He looked around, deciding to simply ignore the immediate problem until he knew what to do about it. He almost immediately spotted three others that seemed to be in a similar state as himself. He approached them, or tried, falling flat on his face as he hadn't adjusted to his new form. He eventually made his way over to them, standing proud despite the soil on his face. "Greetings, my name is Ramza Valentine, could I ask-" he stopped in mid sentence as he spotted the orange pony, the color reminding him of a certain individual who he had worked with before. "Could I ask you where we are? This does not look like the Mobius Forum World." After stating the name, he nearly bit his tongue, not really knowing if they knew what he was talking about.

(Knock yourselves out, guys. )

{{ That's awesome - Sam once again is the source of greatness! }}

(OOC: Ahaha....awesome. Crossover tymee! I think this pic is approprieate...: http://violetwhirlwind.de.../gallery/6215710#/d45grs XD

Seriously, though...didn't realize there was RP in SPA. XP )

IC:

A horrified scream rent the air.

"AUUUUUGH! This is NOT happening!" Serenity stared in horror as her fingers fused togeather into a solid mass of keratin. Her body was also morphing...her PERFECT runner's body...was changing...into something quadrupedal. "This is NOT happening...This is a nightmare...that's it...I am NOT turning into a diminutive horse..." She tried to pinch herself...but it was almost impossible to do with hooves. She struggled to her (now four) feet...and stumbled...right into a nearby pond.

*SPLASH!*

Luckily, it wasn't deep. Forlornly, the purple former-hedgehog plodded out of the pond and shook herself dry.

*fizzle*

She flicked a violet ear...which was now more rounded than it usually was. She didn't like that sound. With growing dread, she carefully moved over to the side of the pond, bracing her new quadrupedal form so that she wouldn't fall in again. The ripples spread and eavened themselves out. As the surface of the water resumed a calm countanance, she leaned over it, her eyes squeezed shut. Carefully, she opened first one...and then the other...

...And screamed again. It WASN'T a dream...It was real...and worse..."Aaaah! I'm naked!" She crumpled to the ground, her blush turning her violet face a redish tint as she attempted (and failed) to curl up. She crouched this way for several minutes, her cerulean eyes again squeezed shut, until the position started to be uncomfortable. Straightening, she sighed...It was true...nothing was...visible...in this form, but...

Serenity reluctantly gave her reflection another look, noting more details. Her birthmark was still there...and still in the same spot...on her upper left shoulder. Though she didn't realize it...this was odd, because in this form she should have had a symbol on her rump...but didn't. Instead her birthmark was where it had always been.

That wasn't all. She had an equine form...but no equine mane and tail. Instead, her tail was short, with the same short fur that was on the rest of her body...other than her quills...which were there in place of a mane. Her back-quills were also still there. That was comforting at least. She still had her defense...even if it wasn't as effective in this horse-like form. It was as if whatever hocus-pocus had transformed her had backfired, leaving her stuck between equine and erinaciean forms. In effect, she was now a hedgepony. She groaned, collapsing onto the ground again, throwing her new hooves over her head.

She glanced at her reflection again as part of it glinted at her. She looked closer. There was..."Oh no..." A golden circlet with a few gems in it glittered at her insolently from attop her head...though it was hidden somewhat by her forlock. She groaned again. "Great...I lose my regular clothes in this wacko dimensional-whatever-the-heck-happened...and instead, I end up with a friggin TIARA. Wonderful. Kill me now."

(OOC: Heehee...The Vi was INSPIRED. XP)

oc: Squeeee!!! Will write up a post today ^_^

OOC: I don't have the time to join in the fun this time, but I do have the time to write a silly little post which would make one or two oldbies smile.

IC: "OH NO YOU DON'T!" screamed a pony in denial, a voice from a far gone day and age which had been ignored so thoroughly that no one was quite sure who it belonged to, only that every decibel of the shriek was designed to grate at the very core of the nerves and send the listener into an indescribible state of annoyance.

It was an orange pony with spikey black hair and it galloped triumphantly around in a circle, dragging seven large orange balls in a net. "I'll join the ponies! NEVER!" it screamed, against all logic. "I USE THE DRAGONBALLS!"

And with it's shrill screams of rage and desperation, the sky turned black and from the seven balls SHENRON THE ETERNAL DRAGON APPEARED.

"WHAT IS YOUR WISH!?" the grouchy dragon demanded.

"I want all ponies to disappear forever!" screamed the frustrating pony who was full of denial.

"THAT WISH I CANNOT GRANT." Shenron boomed out "TO TAKE JOY AND HAPPINESS FROM THE WORLD IS A WISH NOT WITHIN MY POWER."

Bucking it's legs, the annoying pony began kicking the dragon's tail, screaming "No! No! I don't like ponies! Ponies are for girls! I like fighting! I like blasts and beams!"

Having had enough with the pathetic ponies' grinch like behavior, Shenron's eyes went red as it granted it's own personal wish and a ray of light engulfed the orange creature who ceized up and collapsed to the ground.

"But... I've got... drag... drag... drag" it whined pathetically, it's eyes distant in a catatonic state. And thus, Catatonia Honeydew was born and promptly forgotten about, forever.

(*SNERK* Thanks for that! )

Leraku blinked at Ramza. "Holy kark. You're from there too?" He sighed, a tiny flame appearing in front of his mouth for a moment. He looked back up at the group of ponies, pondering what's gonna happen now. "Well... i wonder what is gonna happen now. I'm suprised you didn't recognize me, i'm pretty sure i met you back there. Remember anyone named Leraku?" After saying this, he tried floating again, just to see how it ended up. He managed to get up a bit, and when he tried moving around, he was fine. However when he tried increasing speed... "WHOA!" Leraku was flung through the air, and slams into a tree. He mumbles a moment, lifting himself back up, and decides to try walking back to them, instead of flying. He wipes his brow and looks at the nearby town. "Well... considering we're all trying to figure out what's going on, maybe we could try over there." He watched as an explosion of pastries flew into the air and then heard rapid chattering as one could see a pink blur darting about in the streets near the source of the explosion. Leraku couldn't see what exactly it was from this distance but he guess someone really liked cupcakes... and explosions. He looked back to the group. "Well... yeah. Maybe we should... be careful... if we do that..."

Mobius almost facehooved as he saw the hysterical pony in the distance rolling around as though there was some kind of unexplained cosmic joke taking place and she was the only witness to it...it was rather unnerving, considering that things were weird enough as it was. Waking up as a pony had not exactly made mobius feel comfortable with the start of the day as it was, and the idea that somebody was already having some lols whilst he was completely disorientated by the new situation taking place was starting to grind on him.

" Ugh, great - who's the joker? " He said, frowning and snorting in slight annoyance before looking around to look at the other few who had made their presences felt. " Well, I guess we should go over and make ourselves known...this is plenty weird enough, and it looks like there may be more of 'us' who've been 'ponified'...w "

His eyes scan over towards the lazing figure of Leraku currently lying on one of the p, and he smirked as he shook his head slightly with a chuckle. 

Leraku chuckled at being called a dragon. "Dragon... that sounds dangerous. I like that." He boredly spurted a waft of flame from his mouth, then hopped off his seat and looked at the nearby town after observing the nearby hysterical case. He shrugged, his arms folded. "Wonder what else is around here..."

The cooling spring water flowed over her back and between the feathers of her wings. It almost felt as though it was washing away clouds from her mind. Everything was just... perfect. Gradually the adrenalin drained, her pounding heart slowed and the world around her took on a less supernatural presence. Standing up to her knees in the stream the mare gazed at her smiling reflection. Equine features stared back from the rippling surface. Two huge purple eyes blinked through the torrent of dripping water, edged with freckles and framed by long curved hair that now hung in dripping clods striped with rich red and deep purple. “Whoa.” the exclamation slipped from her lips in an awestruck sigh. Standing up straight she shook her mane and body try, throwing up a rain of raindrops which shattered the bright sunlight into a prism of fractal rainbows.

Thankfully the bank wasn’t too steep, and it looked as though she had company. One of the colts that had been watching her mad display had wandered over with a look of cautious curiosity. Scrambling up the bank she turned to the onlooker with a smile that said ‘Everything is right with the world, and seeing you only makes it better’.

“HI there!” she yapped, noticing the strangers wings and fluttering her own in obvious excitement “Ohmygosh you have wings too! That’s sooo awesome! Do they actually work? I haven’t tried mine yet, but I only just got here so I guess there’s plenty of time to learn! Hay, what town is that over there? Oh, I’m gibbering arn’t I, sorry you’ll just have to tell me if I’m doing that.” Her gaze looked around the feilds towards the town in the distance “this place is Amazing! Do you live here?”

The warm sunshine radiated softly on Kayla's prone form. A few drops of dew from a tree fell on her nose, slowly waking her up. She stretched for a moment before opening her eyes. It took a moment for her sleep-ridden mind to register that she was now in a meadow.

Wait a minute, she thought to herself, A meadow? I didn't fall asleep in a meadow.

She attempted to sit up. Keyword being attempted. For some reason her legs just didn't want to cooperate.

What the slag is going on? she thought.

She glanced back at her legs, and her eyes widened in horror as she gazed on what were now the hindquarters of a horse. After a minute or two of struggling, she finally managed to pull herself up into a sitting position.

This is really starting to freak me out.

She noticed a small pond nearby. Slowly, she stood up. Not being used to walking on four legs, she wobbled for a while trying to steady herself. Very slowly, she inched herself over to the pond and regarded her reflection.

She was now a horse, a rather small one at that. She had a dark lavender coat and a slightly lighter lavender mane and tail. Her mane was somewhat wavy and tied up near the end resembling, she thought rather ridiculously, like a pony tail. Her tail was also somewhat wavy and hanging freely. A pair of feathered wings protruded from her back. The wings were the same color as her coat. A white tennis racquet adorned both of her flanks.

Figuring that she couldn't spend all day staring at herself, she decided to find out if there were others besides herself in this strange world. Picking a direction at random, she started walking. A single thought kept running through her head.

What the slag did I do last night?

"Ramza?" blurted Justin.  "But...that is I mean..."

He shook his head and gestured with his head at the others.  "Look, maybe it'll be easier if we just make sure to introduce ourselves with everyone else so we're all on the same page.  I have a feeling all of us got transformed into ponies, and we should figure out how to change back."

"Well, good to see someone bright-eyed and bushy-tailed," chuckled Justin as he cantered over with Ramza to join the two pegasuses...pegasi?  Them two winged horses over there.  He dipped his head a bit and tried to raise a hoof in a wave, though that was a little awkward.  His tail mindlessly waved back and forth behind him.  "I think some introductions are in order.  The name's Justin, I'm sort of, a, err...wandering adventurer.  What're your names?  Did you guys get turned into ponies too?"

The question felt odd coming out of his mouth, but he figured he may as well put himself out there.  He had no idea who these people were or if he could trust them, but he gave them the benefit of the doubt for now.

“Turned into ponies?” The filly looked thoughtful for a moment. She silently decided that the way the two colts were standing and acting didn’t seem to fit.  Neither of them seemed comfortable in their own skins, like they had their clothing back to front and couldn’t bend properly. The smile returned and she looked back to the other colt that’d joined them, “I don’t really know, can you be turned into something if you don’t remember what you were before? I feel like I’ve woken up from a r-r-r-eally long dream."
She trotted over to Justin clearly holding back an eternity of pent-up energy that wanted to set her running across the meadows again. "Everything is so REAL here. Do you know anything about this place, it’s amazing isn’t it!”

Leraku had been floating alongside Justin. "Well... I didn't get transformed into a pony. I'm still a lemur. Suprised you didn't recognize the name, Justin." Leraku looked around again, still pondering about the... bright... shiny... sparkly new world. He thought for a few moments... and turned back to the two ponies. "Personally, i'm glad to still be myself... just... tinier. Either ways, i'd say something ought to happen that we can use to identify what's going on. And, for the umpteenth time, i'll suggest we should go into the city, Justin." Leraku sighed and folded his arms, then decided to lay on Justin's back again.

Mobius smirked and shot the other ponies a small look of interest - He had a feeling he'd actually heard of Justin before...in a land that almost seemed like a passing dream right now, given that they were no longer on what he would have called home.

" Names Mobius Springheart. " He said, casting the other two a small grin. " Little place known as Mobius Forum City was my home, but I wake up right here and turn into a pony that seems straight out of a Doctor Zeuss book or something. I have to say this place sure has an interesting look about it, don't ya think? "

Mobius pauses, and looks around cautiously - the surroundings were both garish and almost natural...a juxtposition of styles that both clashed and were pleasing to the eye in some odd way. Were he not originally from another world, he would quite easily have liked living here, but the memory of home betrayed any thoughts of such an idea and he reminded himself that this was merely a temporary abode until they could understand more about what was going on.

" So...perhaps we need to see what's up a little closer, and if there are any locals nearby...maybe we should split up and look for more like us as well. We could probably cover a lot more ground and find some sense in this madness better that way! "

         "As I stated before, my name is Ramza Valentine." he offered once more, taking a bow, but tripping himself up and slamming his face into the mud. Raising up, he sigh and shook the detritus from his face. "I was returning to Sega City, wishing to pay a visit to an old friend who goes by the name of Tergonaut." he stopped and chuckled lightly to himself, "Although, here I would call him Ponynaut, I suppose." He eyed the small lemur suspiciously. He was sure that he had never met anyone by the name of Leraku before, and yet this lemur knew his name. It was more than a bit odd.

         He turned about, beginning to learn the function of his new limbs, and gazed into the town. Such serene themes belittled the place that he had lived for his entire life. It seemed happy and calm. If only his sister would have been able to see it. No longer waiting for a response from the others, he trotted into the small village, hoping to find answers.

OOC: Ramza does not know that Justin is Tergonaut, and Justin wouldn't want him to know, so don't tell him, Leraku. It's a continuity thing.

Ugh...I feel
awful, like I was on my cold hard floor all night. I knew I shouldn't
of taken this assignment, who has ever heard of 'Mobius Forum City'
anyways...a backwater compared to a real assignment like New York or
Headquarters in DC...What was that? A gust of wind? Great, left the
window open too...wait a minute...no traffic? No sound of people...?

Martin slowly open his eyes. Wait...grass?

Startled, he lifted his head up. This doesn't feel- He looked
over where he felt his body to be only to be greeted by a horse's
body with brownish tan fur and a badge-like fur marking. He blinked a
few times. Am I hallucinating?
I didn't have that much to drink last night with my
colleagues...that's definitely my body. Oh no...not another one of
these...

Martin forced himself up, he wasn't use to being a quadruped. He
shifted his weight back and forth between legs, getting use to having
weight on them. He then looked around, first afar. Some sort of
field or plain, it's day, I see the occasional tree. Reminds me of my
hometown. He then looked at his body and around a little bit.
I've been turned into a horse...of some sort. I have no equipment,
my Smith and Wesson is missing. My folder is missing. My OC is
missing. Even my clothes are missing. I can actually put that I am
completely naked on my report after this and be correct in the
literal sense.

Martin stretched his neck having it make a few cracking sounds. Well,
time to raise to the occasion Martin. He started galloping, quite
an odd experience for an anthropomorphic
Marten like he was.

Don't you mean
was, Agent Marten?

He stopped and looked around. Who there?...nobody?Am I hearing
voices too? Well maybe I am just hallucinating-

Sorry to disappoint you, Marten. You are indeed hearing voices but
you're not hallucinating, you are a pony. Quite a cute one if I do
say so myself.

“Wait a minute. You're the annoying voice from that weird cat world
I once went to!”

Now now Martin,
don't speak to yourself aloud like that! But yes, I am that voice
that you heard back in that Hello Kitty World. Remember how big your
head was? It was-

Yes, I
remember. Please don't remind me...Dover wasn't it?

Oh, so you do
remember me, how wonderful!

Great...stuck
with a disembodied voice...

That only you
can hear! Don't want you to look crazy to all the other
ponies.

Wait, there's
others?

Yes, not too
far up ahead. Between you and that town. All transformed, just like
you.

Did you do
this?

Sadly no. Great
bit of fun, I really wish I thought of it.

Can you change
me back?

No. Where would
the fun be in that?

Agent Marten knew it was no use arguing with the voice, it never went
anywhere. Could you at least show yourself?

No, I'm too busy at a tea party and I couldn't be rude to my hosts
you know.

So I'm stuck with you just giving useless commentary in my
head...is that about right?

Yes.

Great... Martin continued galloping quite fast. Guess those
dancing classes my ex made me take are finally paying off. This body
seems to take to graceful movements.

He stopped just short of the group in order to get a good look at
them first. Some of them have wings and one looks like they have a
horn. Why don't I have those things?

You're not special enough for them Agent.

But-

If Uncle Sam wanted you to have a horn or wings he would of issued
them to you. Just like if he wanted you to have a girlfriend-

I know the joke, Dover. Incidentally,
Uncle Sam did issue me a gun and I don't seem to have it.

File a missing equipment report, mate.

About what I expected. Martin marched up to the group of
ponies noticing the commotion at the pond first, then the poser
unicorn with the sunglasses who seemed to have a lemur on his back.

Say something
would ya? You're not mute.

Shut up. “I'm
Special Agent Martin Marten and I'm with the United States Internal
Revenue Service.”

Smooth as
usual...

Leraku mumbled quietly to himself. "Hmm... oh right. I don't go into - *Inconherent mumbling*that often... they wouldn't recognize *Inconherent mumbling* ..." He looked up as the pony came up and stated his name. "Aha. Interesting. More of... us, i could say. I mean, i'm the only one who DIDN'T get transformed into a pony, but... still. Good to meet you - I'm personally trying to figure out what's going on... but hey. Nothing seems wrong so far... seems to be too sparkle-happy around here for something to go wrong." Leraku shook his head, chuckling, and flipped off Justin's back, standing up on the ground. He's an agile little lemur, isn't he? He flicked his tail, turning to Martin. "Suppose you could come around with us, see what's going on around here."

OOC: Sorry about that, Ramza. Hope i managed to fix it... however badly. Sorry.

Oc: thinking I can run around a bit and deliberately gather the party as it were. Where is everyone atm? From what I can tell we have Leraku, James, mobi and myself by the stream. Ramza, and turg next to the town pond, lastly Uni and Vi who seem to be off by themselfs. I've written the beginings of a roundup post but I thought we'd better take roll-call before I start talking to someone who's actually on the other side of the village! I'm gona see if anyone made a map of ponyvill and the surrounding area, then we can actually get our bearings ^_^

edit: how much do I love google!!
Edit2: built a map with us on.  At least this is where I think we are.  Still have photoshop file so just yell if it needs altering ^_^

OOC: Quite honestly, I have no idea where I am. Feel free to hijack Kayla for a bit if you need her.

oc; kewl, I'll run and get you once I've got the okay from the overlords ^_^

OOC: Heh, funny thing, we just got finished talking last night about what to do to gather everyone up and start the adventure. XD; I was just waiting until this morning to post something that would give us something to do besides "wander aimlessly and say hi to other transmogrified characters."  But if you've got something, Reithe, maybe we can coordinate a bit and mix and match.

Kudos to Sam for linking the pony maker, that's real cute.  And thanks for grabbing that map, Reithe, that may end up helping us quite a lot through this adventure!  We'll adapt that to use for our adventure.

I'll send Reithe a PM and see what we can figure out between us...or not since Yuku keeps saying the message is empty even though I totally have that message field full of plotty goodness.  There another way to catch you, Reithe?  Yuku won't let upgraded profiles PM each other, apparently.

IC:
Justin was taken a little off-guard by Martin's announcement.  "Wait, wait...you're from Earth?  Like, United States of America on Earth?  Then that means not all of us came from Sega City...but, then, why are we all here?"

That thought was a little disturbing to Justin - he'd had more than his fair share of bizarre things happen to him, including some brushes with cosmic entities either trying to destroy everything, trying to protect everything, or just wanting to play with mortals for a little bit before moving on to other transdimensional games.  But he also had no evidence that anyone specifically was behind this, so he decided to focus on the present moment.

"Actually, I was assigned to Sega City at the time this...event happened," said Martin as he came up to the group.  He seemed more at ease than Justin was in pony form, though he was more coherent and sensible than the...other pegasus, Justin realized he didn't have her name yet.

And she was so full of life and joy that it was difficult to feel unhappy or anxious while she was around.  Maybe it was because she was so happy in her present form that it helped ease Justin a bit.  It was also paradoxical, since most sane people would be at least upset or concerned about suddenly being transformed into a horse...but even in her enthusiasm, she seemed to be handling the current situation better than he was.  He felt chastised for being so worried.

"Sega City?  Is that the name of that town over there?" asked the as-yet-unnamed pegasus, pointing to the town as she flapped her wings hard enough to hover briefly.

"Nope," answered Justin matter-of-factly with a smile.  "I actually have no idea what that town is.  But it's probably a good place to start looking..."

But Mobius, as he'd introduced himself, had suggested an idea.  Justin decided to give his input.  "Hmm, I'm not sure if it's a good idea to split up.  If there're others out there, we can go looking for them after we get to that town and set ourselves up there so we know where to meet up later.  Does that sound good?"

The sound of exploding pastries in the distance grew a bit louder, but Justin didn't see anything to be overly concerned about...not yet anyway...

Leraku has strangely... disseapeared. However, there is a slight ruffle in Justin's mane...

EDIT: Edited for mis-spell.

“Do things normally explode around here?” Said the Pegasus, staring up into the sky as another plume of scorched confectionary rose over the town. She watched with intrigue as a whirling speck fell from the cloud towards the group. A high pitch whistle filled the air as the object flew past the front of the group and buried itself in the ground nearby.

Trotting over to the smouldering crater, she buried her snout in the shallow hole and with drew with what looked like a bent stick made of pastry. Experimentally she gave it a chew, her face shifting from surprise to melted satisfaction.

“Mmmmmmmm. Crispy Croissant...”

Idily she plodded back over to the others, looking at the newcomer who was speaking with Justin “Ugunt Marfin?” She muffled behind the discovered confectionary with genuine intrest “Founds ufficul. Arr oo heur do-” She swallowed and dropped the remaining pastry before continuing “-investigate these ‘mysterious’ shenanigans?”

         "I agree with what Justin has said. I don't know any of you, but some of you seem to have come from Sega City, so I suppose you can't be all bad." That said, he turned and trotted into the town, immediately being splattered with cake icing. "Why do these things always happen to me when I'm off duty?" he grumbled to himself.

OOC: Note, the following event will rain pastries on anyone else who has joined or will join the RP shortly, so you can use that as a reason to come to town to investigate what's going on.  But here we go, this is where the story really starts!

IC:
Justin looked at...you know what, he's just going to ask her name now.  "Say, what was your-"

But he was interrupted as other pastries began raining from the sky - first a muffin here and there, a cupcake there, but then it almost came in a veritable hail as the ponies were pelted with pastries, all of which seemed to be coming from the direction of the building that the pink pony in the distance bounced around.  Now that he noticed it, it almost sounded like someone was crying out for-

"HEEEEEEELP oh help oh help, SOMEPOOOOOOOOONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE-" and a pause as the voice in the distance gathered her breath "-EEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!"

Justin's ears perked up at that.  "Hay guys, sounds like somepony's in-err, somebody's in trouble over there!  Let's head over and see what we can do to help!"  He did not notice that he had said "hay" when he meant "hey."

A scone stuck itself onto his unicorn horn, which made him wince and stumble just as he began to run out toward the town.  But there was no time to worry about it, no matter how good the smell of a honey-buttered scone was as it wafted into his horsey nostrils (even if it was a little burnt from apparently being launched into the sky and falling back down again).  Someone was in danger, and no matter his unease with his transformation, he was ready to charge into action!

...of course, by now everyone else ran toward the town, dodging left and right to avoid powdered donuts and other delectable delights.  "Hay, wait up!" he called out as he got back to his feet and galloped after the others as they went toward the town.

Meanwhile, the pink pony in town (whose name is Pinkie Pie - yes, that one) saw the approaching small herd and bolted out to them.  "Oh help help help!" she called out, possibly more energetic than even the as-yet unnamed pegasus, but clearly distressed.  "Mr. and Mrs. Cake have gone crazy!  They won't listen to me, and maybe they don't usually, but not while they're baking things that EXPLODE!!  I can't get through to them!"

This doesn't sound like a usual day around here...something is up, thought Justin as he charged up to join the others.  I just hope we aren't too late...

A hand pokes out of Justin's mane, holding a large umbrella to keep Justin... well, clean-ish. Didn't get it out in time for the scone, though... oh well. Leraku's head sticks out of the mane to fit the hand. "Well, that should help?"

On ran the herd towards the scene of disastrous dessert, others joining them from across the hills where they had been idling. At first with her question unanswered the nameless Pegasus had pestered martin for details but was soon distracted by the falling buffet, her feat and stomach were doing the thinking for her. Even as they approached the distressed pony and listened to her exasperated plea, the filly still couldn't stay still, instead running in a wide circle around the paused group without loosing much momentum.  It was as though she was burning off pent-up bounciness, like a dam releasing a reservoir of happy all at once. Suddenly she stopped dead in front of Pinky, face full of muffin and concern.

“Muf mu fide fafin uway fair foons?”

Pinky looked confused for a moment, her panic somewhat derailed by the apparition “Whaaat?”

“Vuf muu fike ufay fair foons?” She exasperated, chewing frantically unwilling to give up her latest catch.

Pinky’s panic attack now found a new set of rails laying just below the ones it had fallen from and the whole thing started again “Eeep! I can’t understand you! Does anyone speak muffin!”

The giddiness was starting to fade in the mare's eyes, though she still seemed to be enjoying the whole situation. Mouth finally clear, the Pegasus gulped and repeated her question in a tone that stated quite clearly that she hadn't had this much fun in a life time.

"Did you try taking away their spoons?  They can't bake without Spoons."

This was getting pretty weird - considering that they had been dealing with one hyperactive pony, the idea that there was another one almost like her existing here already sent an almost visible chill down Mobius's spine...this was going to get really interesting, but not always in ways that he figured would be good. 

          The black fennec... or rather, horse... shrugged and began to trot toward the open doors of the bakery. No sooner had he started on his way, than he got a sinking sensation in the pit of his stomach. He sat down, and annoyed look on his face, just as he was smothered under a pile of glazed doughnuts. "Always when I'm off duty... Always..." he grumbled from under the confectionery heap. Pulling himself out, he sat once more... just to be smothered under a pile of strawberry shortcakes.

OOC: Will join in... sometime. IF i can figure out how to.

OOC: Yikes! This really took off in the course of several days.  Ok, I'm read up now though. Reni is somewhere over near that lake on the map (I didn't know there was a map! Awesome...)OR at least she WAS...we'll see how long she STAYS there XP)

IC:

"This...is...NOT...happening..." Serenity said for the millienth time as she stared at her equinified reflection morosely.  Sighing, she stood up ungracefully. "I'm not getting anywhere feeling sorry for myself though I guess." There was a town accross the lake.  "A...town. And I am stuck between hedgehog and pony.  Welll...let's see how many stares I get.  Assuming the people here don't assume I'm some kind of beast of burden and hitch me up to a cart or something.  I will NOT be a beast of burden!"  There was an explosion from the vicinity of the town...and it started raining confections. "Wut..." She said intellegently, staring. THIS she had to check out...if she could just manage to find a bridge.  She was NOT going in that pond again if she could help it.

The purple hedgepony scanned her surroundings.  Luckily, there was a bridge where the river met the lake.  She made her way over to it...at first shakily...then more confidently as she figured out how to move in this form.  "Hmm....I wonder if I can still run in this form..." Don't be silly, Ren, you're equine now...of COARSE you can run....You know what I mean! Great...now she was arguing with herself.  "Hmm...might want to go at a normal pace until I can figure out this body though..."  Cantering over the bridge, she approached the town, dodging pastry precipitation.  Hm...I might change my mind about this place...IF it starts raining pizza...

oc: edited last post, trying to bring her down off the sugar high so to avoid becoming a pinky pie clone, happy and slightly random; yes.  ADHD; no ^_^

Kayla wandered in her chosen direction slowly, still trying to adjust to having twice as many legs as she did when she went to sleep.

At least it's a lovely place, she thought, taking in the scenery.

Suddenly, something bounced off her head.

Ow! What the...?

She glanced down and noticed a muffin sitting on the ground.

A...muffin?

She sniffed it carefully.

Hmm, blueberry.

She suddenly heard a scream.

What was that? Better check it out. It's not like I have anything better to do.

She galloped off towards the direction of the screen.

------

It didn't take her long to reach a small town. She glanced around and noticed a large crowd gathered in one spot.

That could be interesting.

She trotted over to the group.

"So what's going on?"

OOC: Yay! I'm not by lonesome anymore.

I just thought of something though. It's gonna be kinda hard to use my fusion cannon with these hooves.

ooc: have to go to work, but will post sometime during the day from laptop ^_^  Oh also if people could send me a short psychical description of their characters I'd be very grateful.  Its for a the secret government Eggo project... yeah..

OOC:

“Exploding confectionery.”  Said the Pegasus, smiling at the new comer as
though she had always been there “We’re going see if there’s anything we can do
to help, wanna come too?”

Presently adorable panic was
spreading outward from the growing mass of skyward bound puddings.  Some occasionally flew passed at odd angles or
rocketed out of windows, their sources known only to the unlucky victim of the
cake catastrophe. But now it was clear that the majority were coming from the
chimney and doorway of a large cake shop, which in and of itself, looked like
it had been baked to perfection in the world’s biggest oven.

“Is that where the Cake’s
are?  Gosh, what are they baking with?”

Her eyes traced back and forth between
the battered windows, shattered doorway and icing covered courtyard surrounding
the bakers’ abode.  Mad cackling was
erupting though the portal to creamy oblivion.

“Hmm, I don’t think they’re gona
stop even if we ask nicely.” She indicated the chimney stack that had just pumped
out another gout of flame followed closely by a full wedding cake  â€œMaybe we could block up the chimney or
something?  At least that would stop the
rain.”

OOC:

From my intro post {Sorta paraphrased since I forgot to get all of it. :P}:

" A symbol of something on his hindquarters in the shape of a scales of justice ablaze with what seemed to be one red and one blue flame balancing on each side of the scale - his mane was a crimson red and his tail was a light blue...the same colours as the flames on his symbol. the Magificent wings on either side of his body along with his overall fuzz color, a brilliant white "

OOC: Leraku's appearance

Yeah... colors are

*Green fur

*White hair

*Cyan eyes

*Black fingerless gloves

*Red zipped-up vest

*Black pants

IC: Leraku had vanished from Justin's mane, and after a moment, one would hear him scaling the roof of the bakery. He had grabbed a bunch of large rocks in his bag, and making it to the chimney, clogged the chimney with the rocks. He wiped his brow, having had to avoid flying pastries on his way up. "Well... that'll do... Now how are we supposed to stop this madness?" Leraku slid off the roof and landed nearby the group of ponies. He looked at the pink one for a few moments, then looked back at the others... eyeing the newcomer quietly. "Well now. Another one." He chuckled.
