I say yes, that all works for me, though my girl is Spanish, not French... One of those multilingual overachiever types, you know? (I have this theory that magical blood sometimes allows for hyperpolyglotism, e.g. Barty Crouch. Hopefully it isn't a problem. It isn't like she doesn't work incredibly hard, she does, she just understands and recalls language better than most, on an instinctual level. Basically, languages are just her thing, her major interest. She wants to study the universal basis of language when she grows up, she's read all of these fantastic books about it, all that good stuff.) She'll have recently moved to the little town in France from Zaragoza, Aragon.

I'm starting up the sheet, but for anyone wondering, here are the languages she can speak fairly fluently/reads and writes fairly well: Castilian, Catalan, Portuguese, French, Italian, German, English, Russian and Arabic (which is her favorite so far, especially to write). Note that this doesn't include every dialect and variation of each of these, only a few from each. She can definitely understand the majority of dialects, but can't shift instantly between them in speech, if you catch my drift.

In addition, she's in the process of simultaneously learning a whole host of other languages (quite a few from outside Europe especially, like Mandarin and Swahili), helped along by her parents, who are quite wealthy, and can afford extensive lessons and more than a few trips to various places where her languages are natively spoken. ;) The list may grow even longer if languages like Centaur and Gobbledegook are around in this universe.
"Rock.
You are a rock.
Gray.
You are gray.
Like a rock.
Which you are.
Rock."

"I've written thousands." (Pinkie: "She's so prolific!")

"The next one is about rocks. They're all about rocks."

Maud completely slayed me, as did most of the little lines that Pinkie threw in ("She's getting her Rockterate in rock science"). Now, having seen her, it really is amazing just how exuberant Pinkie is ('I don't know if you've noticed, but I don't show my enthusiasm for things quite in the same way my sister does."). I agree, Rune, this is among my favorites this season.
:) I'm up for it, and I already have a character in mind.

Where would be your preferred setting, Owlish? And, would the magic be akin to that of HP (wands, incantations, potions, magical flora and fauna), or more free-form (instead of saying "Incendio!", you just think "fireball", and a fireball happens)?
Well, as I said, my idea is meant to mold around Primez' post, but if you think we need to get going, I can whip one up.
^ This. Very much this. Though, I must admit, out of the four, I find Season Three the weakest. It definitely had good episodes, but as an entire entity, it was shorter, had fewer good than bad, and had no strong opener or closer (not a big fan of the Crystal Empire here, or Princess Twilight, though I've come to accept the latter over time).

On the other hand, Season Three had Magic Duel, Keep Calm and Flutter On, Sleepless in Ponyville and Too Many Pinkie Pies, the last of which is among my very favorite episodes of the series. So maybe I don't know what I'm talking about.
Impy has been... distracted. But now I'm back. From outer space! I just walked in to find you here, with that sad look upon your face! I should have changed that stupid lock...

;) I like to sing as well, Strangelander.

Anyway, season four has been a bit inconsistent in quality, mostly good, but a couple I didn't like. Favorite so far is probably Pinkie Pride... (Weird muthafucking Al in FiM? That was awesome.) Other good ones are: Three's a Crowd, because I always like Discord; the opening pair, ditto; Power Ponies, because it's ridiculous and awesome, and Daring Don't, because holy shit Daring Do is real. Filli Vanilli and Somepony to Watch Over Me, honorable mentions.

Bad ones are the "Breezies" episode, Simple Ways, and... well, that's pretty much it. So, mostly good. I'm going to try and pull off a vailiant effort, and finally move us along to Baybylon (well, Los Pegasus, and then Baybylon) tonight. Wish me luck.
Dash is best pony. And if you disagree...


Seriously, though, every pony is awesome.

Harmony restored.



EDIT: The next post will jump us forward a considerable distance, all the way to Los Pegasus, so think about what your characters would do on the train ride, who they would talk to, etc. They'll have around an hour after the meeting before the train leaves, so think about whether they'd have anything else to take care of in Ponyville, anyone they might talk to before they leave (perhaps a member of the Mane Six?), all that good stuff.
Definitely both. I now have a new thing to do when bored...
I don't know if this is the best thing ever, or the worst... I'm leaning towards best.

(my favorite so far: "Princess" translates to "Supa-Hoe")

EDIT: And how it keeps adding in "Right back up in yo muthafuckin ass." and "I aint talkin' bout chicken n' gravy biatch." at random.
:) Not a bit. Unless Primez wants me to go ahead and post first, I'm going to wait for Amelia's introduction.
