OOC: Sorry. Vicious leaned against a pillar by the feast hall, trying to look as normal as possible. He was overall disappointed in himself, for leaving so many tracks, and barely managing to cover them all. Soon he was going to get caught, and he knew it.

Nightmare Moon hovered, incorporeal, at the edge of the Canterlot castle grounds. Though invisible to anypony else, to her Celestia's wards formed an impenetrable wall of light, surrounding and protecting the castle.
It had taken all her skill, all the cajoling and suggesting she could manage, but she had managed to lure a little surprise here for dear sister Celestia... something to make her realise that her walls of light could not protect her forever.
As servant ponies moved carts up the road into the castle grounds, they failed to notice as, cloaked in a convenient shadow, a small round object slipped into one of their carts...

Ooc: For those who have said stuff about crowds, just edit your posts, alright?

Post by Sugar Song on Jul 21, 2011 22:12:28 GMT -5
Based on the few trips to Canterlot that she’d taken over the years, and taking into account other details such as the weather and high volume of ponies who’d also be heading in the same direction, Sugar Song had calculated that it would taken her approximately half an hour to get to Canderlot. With this in mind, she’d made sure to leave her shop in plenty of time to get there, for if there was one thing that the earth pony absolutely abhorred it was being late.
She’d dressed up for the occasion in a relatively simple gown that, although not up the high standards of those designed by Rarity, Sugar was fairly sure didn’t actively make her look worse, which was more than enough for her. Unfortunately however, she’d been unable to secure a carriage for the trip, hence why she was currently picking her way through the Equestria countryside in shoes that were thoroughly unsuited for such a task.

On the way up, Pinch passed by many other ponies who he figured were also attending. Most of them looking very high class.
This alone was enough to make Pinch feel extremely out of place even before he arrived. Ponies were dressed in elegant dresses, tuxedos, and the like. All he had was an old hoof-me-down suit he bequeathed from his older brother.
He sighed as he continued to make his way down the winding trail.

Big-Mac woke up from the quick 15-minute nap he had taken before heading to the party. Maybe it wouldn't be as bad as he dreamt. Oh well. He grabbed his cart of apples and was on his way from the farm.
OoC: -_- Better?

As Big-Mac traveled down the long dirt road to Canterlot he sighed. It was such a long distance and he had to carry this big apple-cart on his back. He looked up at all the pegasi flying and easily to the event, he wished he had wings. Oh well, he was brought up not to complain.
As he picked up his speed, he heard a loud, quick gallop approaching from his right. He turned around to see an orange earth pony running fast.

Post by Arcel/Mythic Swirl on Jul 21, 2011 22:25:02 GMT -5
Mythic Swirl(better known as Arcel) was still in his wagon home just outside of Canterlot, it being pulled two stallions he had hired to assist him.
Being an expert with illusionary magic, as well as a bit of a... shy pony, he had originaly planned on sending a perfect clone in his place to the event, but he soon discovered that it wouldn't be possible due to wards around the castle. He also discovered that said wards gave him quite the headache when they shattered his illusionary clone in such a harsh manner, so he wasn't going to risk having his home cart pulled by his clones tonight.
He sighed to himself, the cart being pulled into canterlot over the bridge and to a safe location where he could lock it up and not worry. As they entered the city, he finaly put his reseach journal away and started prepping himself for the feast, though he was still early, he planned to look around some of Canterlots shops that he hoped were still open.

Corona smiled. "Does seem pretty well built for a well...You know, Honey, maybe I should just see if Luna needs help. I know you wanted us to let them do this on their own, but, I only sense Luna in the feast hall, and...You know she hasn't always been the greatest at organizing."

The day was winding down at the new shop in ponyville, Mystic Blaze. Cobalt, a Unicorn colt with crimson eyes, an ivory coat and a cobalt blue mane, was unpacking a stack of boxes in the back. "Man, this is tiring work.. Hopefully we'll have some visitors... I wonder wh..." He was cut off by a loud crash. He sighed. "Ami~ What did you do..?" A few seconds of silence was broken suddenly by another crash. Coby was speechless. He simply walked into the main area of the store and sighed.
"Ami, I told you to be careful.... Why don't you just go wait in your room until I'm finished...?" He spoke to his sister. A little Pegasus filly with a cotton candy pink coat, light blue mane and emerald eyes. "But Coby, I just want to help... I'll be careful, I promise!" Coby just sighed. "Why don't you come help me instead of trying to do everything out here by yourself...?" She made a "Squee" noise and zoomed past her brother who sighed again. 'I swear, this filly is going to be the death of me...'
As another hour passed by the shop's wares began to appear here and there. The two siblings were clearly worn out. "Well... We'd better get ready..." Coby started. "For what?" Ami quickly cut in. Coby waited a few seconds before he began again. "For the princesses' party... We got a letter this morning, don't you remember?" He cleared his throat. "'To all the pony folk, new and familiar alike. Princess Celesita and Princess Luna are throwing a party this evening and wish for everypony that can make it to attend. We hope to see you there!' and then there was a stamp that said our names." "OH~ You mean this?" Ami picked up a piece of paper from the floor. "I didn't read it myself, I figured it was something lame. A party though, really!?" Her eyes shimmered. "I can't wait to go! This'll be soooooooo fun!" She bolted off to her room to get ready before Coby could say otherwise. He sighed. "This is going to be one hay of a night, I just know it..."
(OoC: This is going here because I have no clue where this should go but... What about bios? I know the main cast don't really need them, but what about all us OC users? I have a bio typed up on my tumblr page, but I"d love to add it here if possible. Also, feel free to delete this if it's in the wrong spot, I hate to junk up boards like this.... Thanks!)

Carrot Top stopped, realizing who she had just passed. She walked back to Big Mac, and said "Hey Big Mac, do you need any help with that? It seems pretty heavy, and you'd get there faster and easier with two ponies carrying it.".

Galaxiour turned to his wife, Corona, "You are right, I'm sorry my good fellow but I'm afraid I must cut our tour short." Spreading his wings he took flight, "Come then my sweet, let us meet with our children."

Big-Mac realized the frantic pony was none other than Carrot Top. She had visited the farm and spoken to him a couple of times before, so it was nice to see a familiar face.
"Well, I mean.." he said in a stressed tone "ain't ya' hurryin' to the event? I don't want to hold ya' back."

Corona smiled, and followed after him. "I hope she won't be embarrassed by this...Maybe we should hide our presence, and simply watch?"

"I was," Carrot Top said "But I can't just leave you here with a heavy wagon to pull. You'd never arrive in time. Plus, it'd be nice to not arrive alone."
