"This is just Poindexter." Cloud said as he sat down by his book, "He tried to get me into this newfangled game, Gauntlets and Griffons. I wasn't keen on it, but he still comes and bothers me about it every now and then." "Come on! You're dragon wizard was awesome!" Poindexter said as he got up and looked to the ponies around the tree. He focused for a bit on Ever, but brought his gaze back to Cloud to avoid staring, "Clearly you ditched us for a higher class of ponies, that's how it is."

"I'm sure I've known Cloud longer than you have." Daring said a bit defensively. "I like games!" Tor interrupted. "What kind of game is it?" "And I find griffons interesting." Darring added. "You never told me anything about griffon games Cloud. Are you holding out on me?"

"I played one time, it's not like I secret myself away every weekend to play with them." Daring said in his defence, "Personally, I don't think you like this game since you want to go on adventures for real, not play a character that goes on adventures for you. You might like it, Tor, but you'd have to try it." "Ohh, more suspecting players? I'd love to show you all the ropes." Dexter said and looked to Ever and Mith, "Would you two be interested?"

"Cool!" Tor said. "What kind of game is it?" "He's talking about roleplaying games." Mith said sitting up. "It's not really my thing, I find it long and tedious, but I don't mind joining to help Tor." "If Mith and Tor's in then I guess I'm in as well." Ever agreed. "Roleplaying! I've heard about that!" Daring said, suddenly with a mischievous grin. "Yeah, I'd like to go on a real adventure, but this is kind of like visualizing that adventure right? Kind of like preparing myself for that. It has rock traps and stuff right? I wonder what I'd do to get out of a real rock trap. And you're playing too Cloud." Telling Cloud rather than asking him.

OOC: lol, is this really happening BIC: Cloud rolled his eyes with a smirk, "I guess I could bring my character back. Might as well since the group think is strong in this one." "Fantastic! When should we start? I can help all of you make characters. I've made dozens." Dexter said very excited.

ooc: A roleplay in a roleplay. You brought this on yourself, but it's not too weird as we're basically roleplaying the experience of roleplaying and I've read some Friendship is Dragons comics so I'm ready for it. "When will be the best time for everypony?" Tor asked. ooc: when will we do this? Right away or weekend?

OOC: It'll be like the time we did titanic BIC: "Saturday is best for me. I'm usually here every other day of the week. I might also be able to make time Thursday too." Cloud said.

"Saturday is good." Mith said. "Yeah, I can make it on Saturday as well." Daring agreed. "Great! We'll do it Saturday after practice then!" Tornado agreed. "That okay with you Poindexter?" "You mean we're training on Saturday as well?" Daring asked horrified. "Of course." Tor answered.

Cloud just put a hoof on Daring's shoulder, looking with the a nod that showed he felt her pain. "Yeah, that's good for me. I'll make the necessary preparations." Dexter said as he walked away looking to Ever again with a wide smile, "I look forward to seeing you all there." he ran off, eager to get started and hopefully make a good impression with some new friends.

Daring turned to Cloud. "So that's the kind of ponies you hang out with when you're not around me."

"It's the kind of pony that doesn't need my help with school. So I'd go on to call him a friend. He can be a bit annoying though. He's very committed to the things that peak his interest." Cloud said looking after where he'd run off.

"Yes! Yes!" Daring said. "I know a pony just like that. Committed to things that peak his interest, like time, magic and girls." Daring grinned and poked Cloud playfully.

"Psh, my determination is like a bonfire compared to the candlelight of his." Cloud said with more gusto then he probably intended.

Daring and Tor both laughed. "So it's more an obsession then?" She smiled.

"Yeah, I guess you could call it that. Don't tell anyone else though." Cloud said in a hushed tone.

"Of course." Daring said. "How well do you know me? I'll keep your little secret."
ooc: What now? Introducing Clay? Or are we skipping to Saturday?

OOC: Hmm, I want a bit longer to flesh out Clay before I throw him into the mix. we can jump to the weekend if you want.

ooc: Okay, let's do that.
After they met with Poindexter the week passed by pretty normally. Tornado drilled Daring and Cloud every morning and trained in the afternoon. She even got to train a bit with Storm. Ever and Mith went to their classes and kept a low profile as usual. Ever was getting better controlling her gems every day and Mith spend a lot of time tinkering. At the end of the week even Tornado was a little tired and more excited about the upcoming roleplay than her training session with Daring and Cloud. So to their great relieve Saterday's practice wasn't as long or hard as usual and they were still breathing just about by the end.

Cloud looked like he'd either passed out or fell asleep on the cloud after practice. He didn't have a morning class so he wasn't in any hurry. He might just fall asleep this time instead of going to his room.
OOC: Since the last thing you mentioned was the training I'm assuming that's where this is ending up.

ooc: I'm just skipping to Saturday, it's your call from here on as it's up to Dex and Cloud to lead this thing.
"Come on lazybones." Daring pushed Cloud with her nose with the little strength she had left. "You're not getting out of roleplaying that easily." "I'll see you at the tree." Tor said excitedly. "I'm going to wash up and get Ever and Mith and then we'll all head down there." She flew away before the other two had enough air to agree.

"No mommy, I don't want to go to school." He said, still lying rather lifeless on the floor. Regardless, he still made a small effort to get up to his hooves. It took a second, but he was up and wobbly as ever.

Daring waited patiently for Cloud to get up. "Any idea what you're friend is planning? It looks like our fitness teacher is very psyched about all this?" She asked him.

"I'm not sure what story he'll choose, but today will probably be spent creating our characters and explaining how the game will work." Cloud said and started walking, though nowhere in specific. The general direction was the boy's dorm, but his pace shoed he wasn't going anyway soon.

"Sounds like a lot of work for a game?" Daring commented. "Is this how it usually goes or just how Dexter does things?"

"It's pretty normal. Normally you don't teach so large a group of beginner's either." Cloud said and laughing lightly, "I learned how to play and played one game, but had the same feeling I had when I was with you guys at the Camping Trip, so I gave it up." Cloud said matter of factly.

"What? You didn't like the camping trip?" Daring asked. "You didn't have to try be macho you know."

"No no no, you've got me all wrong. I just felt guilty that I was spending time at the camping trip instead of looking for Ripple. I felt the same when I was playing the game. Wasn't a pleasant feeling." Cloud said in his defense.

"I know you want to find her as soon as you can." Daring told Cloud. "But you can't burn yourself out. Sometimes you have to enjoy yourself, have fun, so you can remember why you need to save her. So that you can share it with her. What do you say if I help you in your studies to find her after the game? Would that make you relax more?"

Cloud thought about it a second, "Actually yeah. That would be great. I'm working on a couple projects at once, so the help would be appreciated." Cloud said with a smile. By now he was fully awake.

"Then it's a deal!" Daring said. "I'll meet you at the tree in a bit." She flew off to her dorm to get ready.
