"Then I'll do the same with Ever." Tornado nodded.

Ooc: I got nothing for Forge and Mag. They just had an awkward climb down. Wanna skip?

ooc: Yeah, we can get together at the meeting place.
Ever and Mith was patiently waiting for the rest at the meeting place, being the first to arrive.

Forge and Mag came second followed shortly by Shard and Tornado. "Hey everypony. Any trouble getting down?" Shard asked. Forge nodded no. "No."

"No, everything was fine." Mith answered. Tornado flew over to her friends. "Yeah, nothing happened with us either."

Shard went up to Forge. "So how are you doing Forge?" Forge looked at her. "I've accepted it. I'm dirt. Lowly soil. I have no value as a living being but to help others grow. My value is 0." Shard nodded and tried not to react negative. "Uh okay! Hey have you given any thought to maybe talking out your issues with Ever with a mediator?" Shard asked. Mag stopped. "Even if that Shrew apologized it wouldn't fix Forge's problem. He severed himself from his bushido." Shard facehoofed. "That doesn't... okay so maybe it matters to him but I can't help but feel that your taking this a bit too seriously Forge..." Shard said. Forge nodded no. "No but I don't have any honor to give. I'm a worthless dirtclod. Letting Ever get away with what she did allowed her to manipulate me and got away with it. It's not fair but I don't deserve any mercy. I'm a dirt clod." Mag took Shard aside. "Yeeeeaaaah. Not gonna happen. Okay... so remember..." Shard had the "kiss incident" explained to her. Shard lowered her head. "That's horrible. There's no excuse for that! I mean Forge is a bit of a perv... but that's manipulation!"

ooc: I thought we're going to do this in private and not in the open. Tornado's not going to talk to Ever before she has time alone with her. And I thought Mag didn't know about the kiss?
The three friends started to set up camp, while the other three huddled suspiciously together. Although only Mith seemed to visibly noticed them.
ooc: Something I need to say. Shard always felt to be the most mature of the group the way you have played her and her agreeing that there's no excuse for what Ever did seems to me that you think I personally should be feeling the same. And I just want to make it clear that I do not feel that way. Ever manipulating Forge was wrong. But I feel more strongly than any of my characters that Forge should get over his big self about the kiss. When the first thing you do is flirt with a girl, which Forge did with Tornado, and his first kiss gets taken away by a girl that's not 'all that'. Then, yes, he deserved to get his first kiss ruined. Now, I'm playing Ever towards an apology or something that will make things more meaningful between them. I've also given Tornado her 'first kiss got stolen' backstory so that she has something to relate with Forge and so that there can be an understanding between them. But Tor's first kiss story is much different than Forge and it's how her kiss was stolen that hurts, not simply that her kiss was stolen. Also keep in mind that Forge played the tough guy when Ever stole his kiss, telling her that it was great, so Ever has no reason to think Forge is any different than she is. And there's one last thing you must remember. If Ever and Forge ever ends up together then his first kiss automatically becomes special because it was with Ever. So Forge' first kiss can still be saved, Tor's can't. I'm telling you all this so you don't try to write me into a corner thinking that I'm just going to let Ever apologize and everything is hunky dory. I want to get to the same place you do and you don't have to force me to do that. But I'm not just going to sympathize with Forge, because I don't.

Ooc: Huh... My roleplay game was horrible back then. I never mentioned that he was just trying to be nice so she would apologize? Even once? And Mag saw all that through the window. Or did he? Dude that was from a long time ago. And it is gonna be in private. I didn't say it was gonna be in the open. Or did I without knowing that was what I was doing?

ooc: Forge was just being nice to Ever to get an apology? No, you never mentioned that at all. Also don't use this, it just makes Forge more shallow. You only started with the whole first kiss thing when Forge talked to Tornado, never mentioned it before that either. And I think you said Forge was keeping it a secret from Mag so Mag doesn't spaz out. And it's because you didn't lead up to a private moment like I'm doing with the others, you just started talking to Forge about it. And nothing has been ruined yet, that's why I wrote all that down in my previous post, to prevent it from being ruined. Just continue normally and don't try to write me into a corner.

Ooc: Ok. But I remember for a fact now that Mag saw it. He just did not do anything to keep the team together because he is trying to show Luna his species is trying to be peaceful.
I didn't mention that did I?

ooc: So it's a little awkward if Mag takes Shard aside to gossip about Forge when he's standing right there watching them. You should have posted him doing something. Anyway, it's your post.

"I'll go get it!" Tornado offered before anyone else. "Will you come with me Ever?" "Sure." Ever said. "I think I'd enjoy a change of... atmosphere."

"K'" Tornado called back as the two left to gather firewood. Ever was quiet for most of the part as they walked along, picking up dried sticks as they went. "So." Tornado broke the silence. "I was hoping you'd try to be friends with Forge again. Now I know Mith grounded you, but I can always tell Forge for you, then you won't be breaking any rules." Ever stopped and was silent for a bit before giggling. "Why Tor, you can be quite devious if you want to be." "I'm not trying to be devious." Ever took Tor by the shoulders and pushed her down to sit so they could talk face to face. "Now Tor. I appreciate that you want to make things right between me and Forge. But it's not that simple. I overreacted when Forge told you about what happened, I know. And it was my own fault, I shouldn't have let him be able to do that. But it still hurt me and I don't know if I can ever let him that close again." "But Forge didn't mean to hurt you, it's just that he needed to tell somepony." Tornado argued. "It was his first kiss." She said through gritted teeth. "Tor." Ever put a hoof on her cheek to turn her face towards her. "Tor, listen to me. You have got to stop comparing him with you. He wanted that kiss and if I gave it to him the way he wanted it, he would have been completely happy about it. Completely happy to let his first kiss be from a girl that he hardly knew, completely happy to make up some fantasy that it was special. That girls are going to fall for his charms and give him what he wants. He didn't care about the real me at all, he doesn't even know the real me." Tornado nodded, to afraid to test her voice. "Now about Forge. You go tell him this: He should stop abscessing about a kiss that wasn't up to his standards. He dreamed to get a kiss from a beautiful young mare and he got himself a whore to play the part and it only cost him a little nick in the chest." "I can't say that! I wont say that!" Tornado burst out. "Ever you're not...!" "Okay! Okay!" Ever interrupted her. "How about you tell him: He's been living in the Everfree fighting off monsters all of his life. He should just accept that he was kissed by a witch, file it with the rest of the monsters and move on with his life. How's that? Better?" "No, not really." Tornado said. "Well, you wanted to talk to Forge for me. So you have to tell him what I ask and this is the nicest way I can tell him. So will you do it?" "This isn't going to make things right with him, this wont make you friends again." Tornado said. "It's complicated Tor. Maybe we can be friends again one day, when he sees me differently. But for now, just let him go." Ever looked at Tornado and with great reluctance she finally nodded. "Good. Now let's finish up and get back to camp.

I didn't know about Ever ' s true intentions. Just a "Better that he get his first kiss from me" or whatever with no explanation of why it was better.

ooc: Just expanding on Ever's character. None of the two points should be known by your character and shouldn't influence how they react and play. This is building on the character so her intentions becomes more clear and later explains why she does what she does. The first time Ever explained that to Tor she was very emotional and angry, her confusing half answers emphasizes her emotions. But there's still a hint in there that in a round about way she is thinking about Forge. This time she is more calm and can explain her feelings to Tor better, again emphasized by how she explains it. Also, if I just put the part about whore and witch as a reply now you'd be confused since you'd think I'm taking Ever backwards. When you first started to know Ever and she acts like a witch you're fine with seeing her as that, when later she acts a little sweeter around Forge you begin to warm up to her. So it's very important that right now I don't try to keep Ever's softer feelings a secret from you when her harder feelings go out towards Forge. So I'd argue that none of this are plot points that are vital to the way you play and react to Ever, you should have done the same regardless. But also yes, I do tend to hold back a little more than I should, because you tend to take the things you know and let your characters know them too. Which hinders the way your characters develop.

"We're back!" Tornado called out when the two of them returned. "We got lots of firewood." The two put the firewood down and Ever went to lie down next to Mith. Tornado walked past, trying not to glance towards Mith or look suspicious as she did, and headed towards Shard.

Tornado made sure she was out of earshot from the rest when she spoke to Shard. "So? Did you get to talk to Forge?" She asked.

ooc: I think we may have a misunderstanding here, but I thought Shard and Tor would be mediating by passing messages from one to the other. That way Ever doesn't talk directly to Forge since she wouldn't disobey Mith.
"Uh, she said that Forge spend a lot of time in the Everfree forest." Tornado told Shard. "And that he had to deal with a lot of monsters and stuff, and he survived. So this shouldn't be a big deal for him and he should be able to move past it. What did he say?" She asked.

"Apparently that mark on his back signifies that he is less then a pony being. He doesn't view his life as having any meaning because he let Ever manipulate him and get away with it." Shard said.
