Summary: You are Etherbreeze, daughter of the Clearsky family. They're a highly influential noble family, with airstates and estates throughout Equestria. Two weeks ago you inherited your birthright and took control of the family's airstates in the hayseed region. You are getting ready for a clandestine meeting in Canterlot. Oh, you're a unicorn by the way.
Other things:
> Your aide, the married stallion Paperblool, is a Night-pact
> Some fucking obnoxious pegasus bothered you as usual on your gondola ride to your mansion.
>You have a dark secret
> Other nobles tried to trick you into making a fool of yourself with fake complaints. You caught the ploy, but failed to identify who was behind it.

Do we have some free time? I want to explore the estate

This is true, normally is barely visible, the drawings have just made them contrast for the sake of simpler coloring.
Magical Tattoos are incredibly rare, and most ponies could go their entirely life without ever seeing one.
They're used by...
> Ponies who have been damaged magical to the point where they need grafts (aka, some how their own magic got wrecked to the point that they need the tattoos to patch up the damage because it is too terrible to heal on its own).
> Instances where the inconvenience of not having a spell at all times is worth the inherent risks of getting the enchantment.
> Criminals and others who want to get an edge over others. People like this tend to become addicted to the rush of power they get from a new enchantment, and those that don't die from complications can become dangerous.
The biggest factor for tack of use is that its is very hard to find someone who can do the enchanting process. Criminal use though is extremely rare; its hard enough to find someone who CAN do it, finding one who would help someone who was clearly a danger to themselves or others is even harder. Those that do cater to criminals and other dangerous individuals are dealt with harshly (and sometimes permanently. The famous case of Inkriver vs Equestria was the first time cutie-mark removal was used as a form of punishment in a non-insanity non-ponyslaughter case).

Yea, you have two days before you absolutely HAVE to leave for Canterlot.

Deeplore:
twenty three years ago, there was a Unicorn named Ink River.
> Ink River found her talent in Magical Theory, specifically that of spell circles and geometric magic.
> One day she learned of the esoteric art of Tattoo Enchanting.
> She was hooked, she loved the challenging, complex, and powerful nature that form of magic.
> Putting herself under the wing of a more masterful artisan, she learned the secrets.
> Eventually she surpassed her master and struck off on her own.
> She moved to Appleoosa and opened a spellshop, using the money to continue to refine and occasionally practice her tattoos.
> However, she could only push the limits so far by making 'theoretical' designs ,
> So she got some more vibrant mediums to work with: orphans.
> Specifically, orphans that were too old to realistically be adopted.
> These unwanted wards of the state usually ended up as farm or ranch hands, transients who wandered place to place looking for jobs.
> These vagrant fillies, she abducted and began practicing.
> Sometimes she would try old spells with new styles.
> Other times she'd try to do unusual spells just to see what the effect would be (What does a fireball spell do when it's perpetually running in someone's innate magic?)
> As time went on her explorations became more twisted.
> Can dark magic be used in Tattoo magic?
> What if you made an inverse design to cancel out all of a pony's innate magic?
> What if you made a design to copy a pony's inate magic, would it double?
> What if you cancelled out a pegasus' innate magic, and then put a rough copy of an earth pony's on top of it?
>>25817826
> By the time Ink River's depravity was discovered, authorities also discovered eight (thought records mark it as seven and a half, as two of the ponies had their internal magics so intertwined by a combination of dark magic and tattoo magic that they could not function if they weren't within thirty meters of one another).
> She was immediately charged, the worst charge being 'unlawful use of dark magic'.
> However, no pony's were killed in the course of Inkrivers actions
> No physical harm was inflicted.
> The law therefore sentenced the mare to ten years in prison.
> Nobles and freeponies alike join in public outcry over the sentencing.
> So much so, that they called for a Royal Tribune (the first time its ever been called without request by a Princess).
> Ink River's rights, contracts, and legal and civil protections were suspended and her fate was put to what ruling the tribune would make.
> After a week of deliberation, the Tribune declared that it had found Ink River's actions a "Violation of the right to self-integrity", and sentenced her to removal of her horn, and removal of her cutie mark (thus crippling her innate ability to craft tattoos), in addition to enrollment to a criminal rehabilitation center.
> that made "Violation of the Right to Self-Integrity" the first non-murder related charge to warrant horn removal.
> It was also the second charge to warrant cutie mark removal (the other one being insanity, though that was only used in extreme cases when the innate magic represented by the mark made the insane person extremely dangerous to themselves or others.
>>25817835
> Ink River is now a free pony again, but is blissfully unaware of her crimes (as the trauma of her punishment left her in a state of fugue that resolved in memory loss and a dramatic personality change).
> She also has a new name, given to her by the state to help protect her identity.
> four of the fillies she experiment of died of complications.
> The 'twins' are still alive and work at a restaurant in Canterlot
.
> The third survivor is currently living off welfare, as holding a regular job is impossible as their mane is made of fire, ice, water, or PURE DARKNESS at any one time (due to the highly complex and invasive nature of the enchantments, removal was impossible).
tl;dr : Tattoo Enchanting is serious fucking business, and big sister doesn't tolerate shenanigans with it.
>>25817861
That being said, let's get a tattoo of dickbutt on our ass
>>25817826
Good to know!
>>25817835
Okay...
>>25817861
Oh hell, our dark secret is going to be worse than I thought, isn't it? Are we an illegal augment? Are we basically the pony version of Julian Bashir and are parents had us tatted up to overcome the fact that we sucked at magic?
>>25817826
Two days until we HAVE to leave means one day until we are GOING to leave. We don't know about unforseen delays, and we might have stuff to do in Canterlot.
That being said, thank you for the lore, we all appreciate it. Let's take a look at our cloud manor now.
Also, what the hell kind of time zone are you in, GM?
>>25818341
>illegal augment
That WOULD be terrible.
>>25818646
Come to think of it, what if our tattoo isn't even really to give us cloudwalking? What if our tattoo is actually to make us more of a unicorn, and we already had cloudwalking because of our inherent pegasus magic?
Oh god, we aren't even a real unicorn! We're just a wingless pegasus with a horn.
>>25818485
Pacific.
My sleep schedule is all sorts of fucked up.
Also sorry for all the typos, wow I made a lot of them.
>>25818364
I'll try finish this post but I might end up getting picked up for the christmas party before I can finish. Fingers crossed, natch.
Going to a family Christmas party with four hours of sleep is fun, ya?
>>25817835
So wait, cutie marks affect innate magic? Are they like naturally occurring tattoos?
>>25819830
Fact denied. I instead choose to believe that you are British, and therefore your current sleep schedule is perfectly normal.
>>25819847
I think that's exactly what it means.
I want to cum inside Ether Breeze
>>25821641
I think you mean you want to cum inside Baroness Etherbreeze Clearsky.
Get bump'd
>>25821641
>>25822811
I don't think you guys have a chance. She's clearly pegasexual.
>>25819830
If you have a few minutes at the party, scribble down the floorplan for our cloud house on a napkin or something.
>>25823657
Unf.
>>25823657
Am I the only one who find the tatts hella sexy? Imagine them running down her belly and perfectly framing her breasts.
>>25824173
Actually, according to the GM that's exactly what they do. They start on either side of her shoulders, connect together on her chest, and then run all the way down her underside, splitting of to spiral down each of her legs.
Unf again.
>>25824284
>>25824173
Porn when
Sorry guys, my bro and I got lost on the way back from the party and went half the way to mount Baker before realizing we were going the wrong way.
Given that went to bed at six today and woke up at ten, I'm really tired so I'm going to die for a bit.
>>25823756
I'll try my hand at using paint to draw something rough up for you
PS: I don't have a smart phone or tablet or anything like that, so I can't really reply except from home.
>>25819847
Kind of. They are clearly part of it, but it's like a black box that ponies so far can't look into.
> Magic in
> Magic out
> Could be dead kittens or a perpetually twelve day old burrito in there, no body knows.
Bamp.
>>25824690
>request for pony porn
I'm pretty sure that would get the thread booted, so here's something along those lines but safe. Enjoy.She's into roleplaying. She'll be the pegasus, and you can be whatever the hell you want.
>>25823657
>>25826463
>It sucks that you're grounded and can't go out to see your marefriend.
>Maybe I could be your marefriend tonight?
>>25826463
I know that roleplaying comment was just supposed to be funny, but all this wing envy stuff is starting to make me feel really bad for her.
>>25826479
Oh shit! Are we getting a drawfag AND a writefag for this thread?
>>25826510
We're officially /ygtntg/ now.
What have we become?
Also bump.
>>25823657
>>25826463
I like that slight hint of neurosis Etherbreeze always seems to have. I want her to have a sickly sweet, melodic singsong voice to go along with it.
