Solaria

Derr Skeepz.

Cadance fluttered in surprise when Pumpkin nearly ate a small red bird, which was now lodged in her suckling lips where it tweeted wildly. Obviously the air was no place for the nervous princess or her charge, so she flared her wings and allowed gravity to slowly drag them to the ground once more. After landing near Crescent, the pink mare gently used her hooves to prop the baby's mouth open and set the avian prisoner free. In return, she plopped the rounded flange of her crown between Pumpkin's gums.

After tossing her head to somewhat tame her mane from where it had whipped about during flight, Cadance turned toward her newest companion.

"What is that orb?" she asked curiously. "It only seemed to flit around as much as my little friend's eyes. I don't suppose it let you read her mind to figure out who she's looking for, did it? Because that would be a big help..."

After passing over Town Hall the alicorn was tempted to run inside and raise an alarm for the missing foal, but she couldn't even describe it yet so she tucked the idea to the back of her anxious mind, worry painted on her features.

I think it's strangely fitting, since it has a loose reference to Cadence in the Aria part. Did you know we have both a Princess Cadence and Princess Cadance as members? They joined on May 2 and 5, only 3 days apart.

I've grown kind of attached to Solaria, even though there's an Aria floating around now. The only one I might consider changing to now is some variation on Eminence like my gamer tag.

I've been through so many name changes it's not even funny, even though it is.

Fun how that works isn't it?

Cadance listened to Savory make her announcement and explain the first dishes that would be coming out for sampling. It was rather interesting listening to the other pony recount her tale of foreigners sharing their culinary secrets, and as the proprietor went down the list she smiled widely. Baklava? She hadn't had that in ages! She'd tried to get a royal cook to make some but it always came out of the kitchen oddly.

The princess's attention was grabbed by Jubilee again as the mare became exponentially more excited at her daydreams, until with a squeal she collapsed and Hoss caught her head with a pillow before thanking the pink mare. The alicorn gave an embarrassed smile, not wanting to cause more commotion to interrupt the event but also wanting Jubilee to keep feeling special. With a small nod she turned back to the food being brought out, forcing herself not to drool at the dishes as she saw them.

Cadance grinned broadly as Flux seemed overjoyed with the book. It had put the princess to sleep countless times, but then again she enjoyed being out and about speaking with ponies and being active, not memorizing rules. Besides, Dusty Chronicle quoted at least ten of them a day to her when she wasn't doing exactly what the tome said. It had worked out so far.

The alicorn nodded at Stalwart as he thanked her, wishing she could do more than offer a small promise and kind words. His concern for his mother was very evident to the empathetic mare, and it was a sobering thought to know that some ponies still harbored ill will in their hearts, like those bandits. Her reverie was soon broken by Timid however, who had approached her once more and was thanking her for helping to rebuild his home.

Cadance's eyes misted over as she remembered the visit, with so many ponies left homeless and despairing while charred pieces of houses continued to smolder. It had been one of her more saddening trips, but at least nopony had been severely hurt. The worst injuries were a few minor burns here and there, and most of the grief came from property damage. The CRPR had worked night and day with the locals to rebuild the area, and it had been very rewarding, but the royal pink pony tried not to think about it too much. It was her job, but it took a certain amount of willpower for somepony with such a vested interest in her subjects. She lifted a hoof and patted Timid Star on his head, a reassuring look flitting across her face.

"You're welcome. It was worth it to see the smiles of ponies with homes again."

Woo Angie's part of the naughty club with me! Isn't it great to be loved enough that Arty doesn't outright ban you?

*cracks hooves*

Okay, took the weekend off. Time to recap all these roleplays then check the WoW rp I'm in and chuckle because I still won't respond.

Clop

It's still May.

Ash I can't unsee that ava.

Madmare*

I was already crazy to begin with, though!

*waves a hoof*

Not quite. Madman is a gender neutral term here, though I like yours as well.

Oh no, Peggly's ava doesn't make me laugh anymore!

Angie has a Fawkes obsession, and Rosie is becoming a regular madman. Yes, this is LPW alright.

*scrubbles eyes*

That was not a planned nap, and I don't feel good for having taken it.

...I WAS NEVER GONE >:I

I've been here the WHOLE time.

And the RP hasn't been set up yet.

That's something we should do, isn't it?

Nope, I just made Aria so that random members could PM me about needing her specific alicorn sensibilities in their threads.

Reports of my death have been greatly exaggerated.

My thoughts of you have been swayed in the same direction, my dearliest dear.

Mark Twain, nice. I enjoy literary references.

Also Volt, what many define as insanity could also be defined as hope or perserverance. It all depends on your outlook.

He knows I originally came from IRC anyway. Besides, I think Fawkes died.

Haha, you think about it too much. I don't know why I'm here myself, but I can't come up with a good reason not to be either. Having a crown makes it easier to drop into IRC now though.

Oh Volt, you've been here for a while and yet you still don't understand. Everypony is ignored unless you say something that sparks somepony's interest. Some just have interesting things to say more often, unlike you and me Well, things that interest madmen anyway.

Brain equals What the hay?Sorry but I'm not that smart.*Hides under table ready for ridiqule*

Pst, you're supposed to ask African or European.

I want hair made out of clouds. If my stylist can't do it, I'm suing.

I really should. The unfortunate part is that since it's a Saturday, I'm the only one running the motor bank. I better not have to post a shortage on my account just because I got messed up change rolls.

Open $10 roll of quarters for change, get $9.75. Open $5 roll of dimes for change as well, get $5.10.

Seems legit. Somepony at this bank can't count, and it's not me.

So our RP is now in the game, Aria! (Though I think we have more of a Yoshi's Island 2 thing going on.)

Why can't I like this 5 billion more times?!
