Hmm.. I think the only reason that I could come up with is that he has no qualms with dressing -like- a girl? But I dont think that's good enough. And I dont have any other reasons. But I dont really feel like playing a girl. ::snicker.:: So she'll just have to wait. ::Snicker.::

Hmm.. I think the only reason that I could come up with is that he has no qualms with dressing -like- a girl? *giggles* Well, how about this, then... we're working it into the story that Del's Pasiphae becomes the first Mare to find her self... a Man ;D This might take a while (as I want to tie up our first edition of seeking a companion, or possibly pause it, in light of the up-coming "main rp" we keep alluding to) But if you don't mind waiting, I'm sure after Pasiphae shows that yes, it CAN be done, other unicorns will jump on board! Mostly the reason I chose to do same-genders for companions is that every other story seemed to have them opposite sexes After all, companion isn't a soul mate... more... like an extension of you. It's not attached to you, and it might not always be at your side, but no matter where you two are in the universe, you're aware of the other and content to know you share that everlasting bond. A lot of the other "companion-like" stories seemed to have weird romantic undertones I wanted to avoid, and instead build a culture of sisterhood (or brotherhood, depending) Hope that makes sense!

More roosters in the hen house! Wahoo! Hehe. I'm all for it. *grin* That and I've always had a soft spot for sticky fingered not-quite-bad boy figures (well, the literary kind at least XD). Also, best be careful V - as I'm sure that should the new boy show one small sign of waffling, and Lana's michievous side would jump at the chance to shove'im in drag. As to the official RP event - I'd recommend maybe mini events in the forums, with "official transcripts" (i.e. copy/pastes) posted back here? The larger events I'd definitely be all for keeping here on the forums. I know it's off the beaten path a bit for some - but I love having everything all collected in one place. Also - as an aside, since all the colors are throwing me, figured I'd collect names/associated colors here for a quick reference (if people want to keep it semi-consistant)...the first few are the current references in our story, after the dash is my recommended pick from those (or an associated color) and the color name to stuff in the color tag. <Updating to allow for slightly more readable format - now with Character Name (Recommended Color) - any other associated colors> Pasiphaƫ (DeepPink) - other story colors pinkXanthe (Blue)Sierra (CornflowerBlue) - other story colors red & tealAmbriel (Gold) and Lailah (Goldenrod) - other story colors orange & yellowFiera (OrangeRed) - other story colors orange Silent (DarkViolet)Llamrei (Tan)Gypsy (Green)Meadow Song (Teal)Lilaini (SeaGreen) - other story colors green & purpleImbri (Navy)Tyden (SteelBlue)Spirit (Thistle)Lana (DarkGrey)/(DarkGray)Rhaine (Crimson)Aquila (Orange)also here's a list of supported colors for anyone who's looking for colors they want to recommend for unlisted peoples.

Oh, great idea Del! That will definately make it easier to spot yourself, if another player has mentioned you Though I think I've been doing DeepPink for Pasiphae myself - to match her avatar's lovely background colour But either pink could work for Spirit, too! So how about then... Rhaine - CrimsonTyden - SteelBlue (though no one is talking to him... does he smell bad or something? lol!) Plus we have a few more players who have been quiet lately... need to nudge them, I think I can definately see how assigning colours will be helpful for the main RP too ;D Lady Whimsy ~

Aha - that's what that color was! *updates list* ... also thinking of begging for people to use thistle for Spirit. 'Cause it's just so preeeeeetty.

Mmm, I like thistle... thistle it is! Edit to add: I just removed my chatting-with-Angel posts out of the RP forum, since we've got that problem fixed now and so it doesn't clutter the board Didn't want to break anyone's train of thought!

Updated with the recommendations, also changed the format so that it doesn't read quite as confusingly. Now back to actually putting together my RP reply! Mwahaha.

Aye, I don't think I know how to get deep pink, but I'll try messing around with those colors. And it's very helpful too, thanks Del ^^
I'm reading The Unicorn Chronicles again at the moment. And I'm going into a strange unicorn obsession. Lol!

Oh! Changing the color isn't too bad actually - you can use the color tagging for some random color up at the top, and simply change the original color to whatever color name you want. For deep pink - say you choose teal originally so it'd be [*color=Teal]Pasiphaƫ[/*color] (without the * of course). Simply delete Teal, and replace with "deeppink" (no spaces, all one word) like so: [*color=deeppink]Pasiphaƫ[/*color] Also, that's why I have the color names formatted as they are up above - you should be able to double-click the color name inside the parentheses and then hit ctrl-c to copy it. Then you should be able to double-click the original color inside the tag, and ctrl-v to paste over it. >.> Or at least, that's how do it, but I lubs me my short-cuts.

hehe whoops! I guess I should read in here first, and then perhaps update the post I just made with random colours *scurries off to do so*

And I'm going into a strange unicorn obsession. Lol! Oooo I love those books! Did you know that the third one comes out August 1st? I am definetly going to get my hands on a copy. I've waited SO long to get it after I read the second book.

I know what you mean, but actually, the third book has already come out for me! That's why I'm rereading the first two books so I can get a nice refresher And now, I want cosplays of the unicorns but they're all white unlike these guys who come in many many colors

I don't believe I've read the Unicorn Chronicles, is it any good? And I'm sure there will be cosplay unicorns at some point in the future... I'm itching to bring a Firebringer or two to life.... So, what are everyone's feelings on the RP so far? I personally love the way it's been going, but would love to have feedback from everyone to see if there's anything we need to address for the main RP later on. Also, especially to those who aren't that active... anything we can do to entice you? Is it because of the RP in anyway or just general life stuff? I know how busy things are so don't want anyone to feel that they're being left out, and want to make sure everyone knows "jumping in" is always a viable option! But if people think the RP is too complicated or too hard to follow, I'd appreciate the feedback on that, too To quote a megalomaniac corporate monstrosity, I'm lovin' it ;D But if there's anything we can do to make it better, let us know!

It's REALLY good Lady Whimsy! It was supposed to be somewhat of a trilogy but the author decided that he couldn't stop adding to it, so he's making a fourth book and realeasing in 2010 I belive. The author is Bruce Coville, and I think he's really known for his unicorn stories. You should check out one of his unicorn books sometime, very rewarding I'm busy Lol, not much helpful feedback from this user ;D

I'm having a lot of fun with this RP. Although I generally prefer a faster paced RP, it can't be helped. XD I find I can't post as much because I like to wait for people's replies.

*nods at Ember* I have to restrain myself from writing several times a day... when I get into something, well, we've all seen me struggle with brevity, heh. But I love seeing what other people bring into the RP, so it's worth waiting for. Though sometimes I am impatient and it's very hard not to be an RP hog, lol! And I must say, I'm *really* impressed by the quality of the writing and richness of ideas *goes off to busy herself by writing Rhaine's origin story* Lady Whimsy ~

Haha, It's certainly a different type of roleplay for me. Sure, I've RPed animals before (I almost prefer it to humans) but playing a unicorn is a different experience because of their ah...base nature, I guess you could say. Anyways, I wonder if we might have an updated list of where the herd will be traveling to next. There are some new companions that aren't included there.

Oh, right - I was meaning to ask you Ember - of your two companions, which are you most interested in acquiring, since we're currently including just one companion for each person who wants one That way we get to everyone at least once in a timely manner, or try to, lol. There will DEFINITELY be opportunities in the future for grabbing more companions - possibly, an on-going side story while the Main RP is running, or even during - so nobody going to be left out. Just, possibly a wee bit postponed LMK! Lady Whimsy ~

Ooh, hard question to answer....I'll have to go with Aquila's companion then. Much as Meadow Song's is actually my persona, I think I'd actually feel bad not picking up Aquila's. XD She's oh so determined.

Just a note, I'm sitting the rp for now, so Rhae and Sierra can get the spotlight. It would only make sense that I don't "steal it" when Sierra is trying to find her companion

Sorry about the lull folks... As some of you may, and may not know, I've been a bit tangled up with helping LadyTulipan survive breeding season for Dream Ponies. Normally this wouldn't be an issue, but with the finger... which appears to have mended nicely, though it's tender at times... and the wrist, which is back on the back slide... it's been tough to get here. Add to that alot of emotional baggage in my real life with my fiance', and the fact that at least once a week I'm in the doctors office to under-go yet another evaluation on my arm... Thank goodness you guys are gettin' my story taken care of now, in about 3 weeks I'm supposed to have a nerve test, so I'm not sure how up to typing I'll be after that.

Ouchy, none of that sounds like much fun, Rhaevin Hope it goes well for you; and I'm definitely glad we're able to have you writing with us now - I'm enjoying Sierra and her Companion's story immensely! Sorry for *my* delay, I had the craziest week at work and needed a night's sleep before I trusted myself to write something coherent Hopefully I did, lol. So everyone, feel free to jump back in whenever you like, currently we're off to recoop ourselves at Raven's farm (hehe!) before heading out to pick up Fiera's new pal Lady Whimsy ~

Allrighty! Chapter Three has begun, so everyone, feel free to jump back in when you're ready ;D Lady E and myself will be making every effort to have at least one of us respond daily now, so you can expect to find something new posted each day, and that should get us over the lulls. My apologies again for letting that happen in the first place, it's still a learning process for us, but think how ironed-smooth things will run for the main RP... *knocks wood vigorously* And thank you again to Rhaevin for letting us crash at Raven's house (Hopefully I have set everything up the way you envisioned it, do let me know if there's anything I need to revised and I'll do that!)

*squishes Rhae* Yeah, surviving breeding season isn't easy at all o.O And I hope everything turns out ok with you, you always seem to have things the hard way. So, just I just really hope everything gets worked out *runs to rp* Weeh!
