>>26031482
Ruby's basically black here.

ruby is qt3.14

raciss!
>>26031482
In response to her joke, Emerald tells Joyride that she can joke all she wants, but it'll never fill the void in heart, or in her vagina.
Ruby seems quite surprised by this attack, but Joyride just laughs and says,
"About time you started to dish it out! Or maybe you are just trying to impress your lady friend here?"
Joyride then walks over with some rice and some sort of spicy, aromatic sauce of some kind. The two foals eat, and Emerald has to admit that he quite enjoys it. It's nothing like anything he's eaten before.
The happy look is on Ruby's face as well, and she says, "Whoa! What is this? It's really good!"
"It's called curry." Joyride says, sitting down and eating some herself, "It's from a faraway kingdom, and it's rather hard to obtain around here, so make sure to enjoy it!"
Ruby certainly does, and she cleans her plate before Emerald and Joyride get halfway through theirs.
"So lil' perv here tells me you want to join us on our little adventure here. Did he tell you what we were doing?" Joyride says, waving a curry filled spoon in the filly's direction.
"Nope." Ruby says, leaning back and patting her satiated stomach.
"We're collecting ingredients for a potion that'll let me orgasm. Do you know what that means?" Joyride says.
"Uh... No?" Ruby says, thinking on it a second.
"Well, maybe I can show you sometime." Joyride says with a wink, "I need to know what kind of skills you can bring to the table. There are no free rides with me, and Emerald will back me up on this." Joyride says, pointing to Emerald now.
"Skills? Err..." Ruby says, looking imploringly to the colt.
What does Emerald do?
>>26031580
>What does Emerald do?
go down on ruby before joyride gets a chance.
or just bend ruby over the table and rut her, after you finish eating of course. don't want to waste all that delicious curry now do we.
>>26031580
she is resourceful and smart.
>>26031616
fuck off
>>26031580
Let the conversation keep going.
>>26031580
She's a skilled rogue.
Sharp wit and sharper tongue.
>>26031580
Lets see. Run her through the basic skills Ruby has.
She's good at evading guards, an experienced pick-pocket, good at infiltration, has basically run a house for a while, and is rather physically gifted as well.
>>26031746
>fuck off
that's kind of the point of this whole quest.
>>26031580
We need a scout. She is a scout.
>>26031616
No.Soon.
>>26031776
if we needed a scout we should have gone with a Pegasus.
>>26031580
She's also told me she's good at cooking, though I can't vouch for that one yet.
>>26031580
Explain to Ruby that our skill is that we're really good at dealing with people.
For example we were kidnaped by a guy once and we tricked him using our silver tongue to get free and we're learning magic.
In Ruby's skill in this case I guess that would be ...slight of hand for lack of a better word...fuck it shes good at stealing that's what she dos.
>>26031580
Ask Ruby what she's good at. And if she isn't sure then tell them what we observed of her.
>in a number of threads timeHope comes back from the war pregnant to find us with ruby after our adventures with joyride. She takes us both in and we start a dysfunctional happy family.

Emerald explains that she is smart and resourceful, as her ability to grow up on the streets has shown. Also she is good at getting around guards and can cook!
Ruby blushes as you say all this, and Joyride grins her usual smile and says, "Oh? I'm sure you are overplaying it. She's a bit young to be able to do all that well."
"Yeah, you would know, being super old, wouldn't you?" Ruby says, crossing her front hooves.
"Age has it's benefits." Joyride says with a nod.
"How old are you?"
"You wouldn't believe me if I told you."
Ruby, annoyed, says, "You could say 1000 and I'd still say it was too young."
Joyride rolls her eyes, and says, "You are more fun to pick on than lil' perv here. Maybe I should take you along!"
What does Emerald do?
>>26032490
Ask for more curry and watch the fireworks fly.
>>26032490
take ruby to your room.
>>26032490
Do nothing and watch.
>>26032452
Anyone using emoticons is a newfag. I'd rather a 4channer sabotage the whole thing than let some faggot from derpibooru try to "fix it."
We were doing fine without you fucks.
>>26032490
Tell the mares that they shouldn't fight for our amusement.
Ask Ruby if she wanted some reading lessons. We're good at that!
>>26032490
Put your hoof on your face because Ruby has taken the bait.
Give them only one warning that you will not hesitate to point and laugh in their faces as they pointlessly bitch at each other.
Continue to eat curry.
>>26032541
I'm sorry you hate the popularity of this Quest and those outside of 4chan that want to join in the fun. It's sadly this kind of attitude that will hurt this board in the long run.
>>26032579
>It's sadly this kind of attitude that will hurt this board in the long run
Sure it will.
>>26032490
Ruby has to come along, no matter what. Also lets keep watching, things are getting interesting.
>>26032579inb4 taking the bait
I don't want to derail the thread so I'm not going to go any further, but no. You're very wrong.
/co/ tried the open air style and look what happened to them. Their culture died and they went full tumblr. I don't hate popularity or really anyone new. I do get annoyed by newfags who don't seem to get that they're newfags. When you're a newfag you lurk until you understand the culture and etiquette. Then you can post.
I don't want to stop anyone from "joining in" but they have to actually "join in" first.
>>26032579
Yeah, I'm sure it will affect it.
Not
>>26032579
I've been to tumblr, dA, reddit. I've seen what popularity does to shit. It turns it into bland, hugboxy bullshit.
Give me four posters with actual things to say (and the eight shitposters who come along with them) rather than 400 moe kawaii desufags.
>>26032579

>>26032579
>It's sadly this kind of attitude that will hurt this board in the long run.
That's the general 4chan attitude. And 4chan is more popular than ever.
>>26032641
Anon, we just need to be culturally enriched like Europe is right now.
>>26032490
So should we mention she has an ear ring that looks a whole lot like our necklace?
>>26031482
holy shit ruby looks like a NIGGER, I expected her to be red.
doesn't mean she isn't still qt though

That's fine if you feel that way. It's just from my experience when groups circle the wagons and treat newcomers with hostility those groups tend to shrivel up and eventually die.
>>26032932
4chan is very much the exception.
>>26032956
Its because 4chan is a culture based around circling the wagons.
>>26032932
Then why do you keep staying here, faggot?
>>26032932
it would be for the best if this community were to die.
>>26032956
Indeed it is. But it's still very dismaying how angry people get from using a smiley face emoticon.
>>26032977
Because I like the Quest and want to take part in it.
>>26032932
That actually just belies a lack of understanding of how the website functions. Circling the wagons only works if you can actually tell who anyone is. They treat the appearance of newness, and stupidity, with hostility, not newcomers themselves. Which means anyone that appears merges with the site culture faster as they get tired of being called out on looking new.
Because anyone can merge with the site culture as fast as they want, there's no bar to feel like you're a 'part of the group' other than not acting like a faggot. Which is why 4chan continues to grow.
>>26032932
We treat newcomers fine if they integrate. Otherwise they can fuck right off. That's how it's been for as long as I remember.
But enough of this, let's actually get back to the quest.
>>26033017
>But enough of this, let's actually get back to the quest.
I agree. The point here is to have fun and enjoy the story/art.
>>26032516

>>26032639
Emerald just keeps eating his curry. He wants to see where this goes.
"So you don't have any family or anyone who would miss you if you were gone?" Joyride asks Ruby directly.
"Nope. I don't care two bits about the people I live with. Not that I hate them, but I won't miss'em. And my parents... They are dead." Ruby says, giving Joyride a look of defiance.
"Fair enough." Joyride responds.
Emerald takes this opportunity to mention the earring that looks a lot like his pendant, and asks Joyride what she thinks about it.
"Hmm... that is a bit interesting actually..." Joyride says, looking at the filly's ear, "Who did you say your parents were?"
"Oh um... I dunno..." Ruby says, looking down at her plate embarassed, "They were always just 'mom' and 'dad' to me..."
Emerald feels a pang for this. He never really knew what either his father or mother's name was either, and he proceeds to also look down at his plate depressed.
"Well that's no help." Joyride says without tact, leaning back in her chair, "Anyway, say I was to let you come along... What would you give me in return?"
"It's not like I have anything. Err, I got a few bits I fished out of the fountain today." Ruby says.
"Well it doesn't necessarily have to bits you know~!" Joyride says, leaning back forward, "Just ask lil' perv here!"
Ruby looks to Emerald with a questioning and curious look.
What does Emerald do?
>>26032490
Watch unless it gets serious.
>>26033072
Blush and clear throat.
>>26033072
Point out that the entire point of the adventure is to get what JOYRIDE wants, and Ruby would already be giving something by going along to help out.
>>26033072
Joyride is being a major sketchy scumbag here. Like a pedophile introducing sex to a child. Let's just diffuse this convo and say that Ruby will surely be able to prove her worth if brought along.
>>26033072
Say that we help other ponies have fun and enjoy themselves.
>>26033072
Say that we help get money for the both of us.
>>26033072
Attempt to dissuade Joyride from using Joyride as a whore.
>>26033112
This.
Also tell Joy she's being more than a bit skeevy. Emerald offered what he gave her, because Emerald already lost his innocence.
Exploiting lost innocence is skeevy, Joy, but taking somepony's innocence is far worse.
>>26033072
Say that what we do dosn't matter and that Ruby could help with monsters and stuff. She has a knife after all and could be taught to use it.
>>26033072
Tell Ruby we run errands and help out around the house in exchange for housing and magic lessons.
Our other payment methods are private and non of Ruby's business.
Change the subject and ask joy if she'll let us help her make some of the items she has for sale too maybe Ruby could help too by helping make potions.
>>26033072
joy is scum
>>26033149
>Attempt to dissuade Joyride from using Joyride as a whore.
I think it's too late for that...
>>26033072
Tell her that we help Joyride in any way she needs. And that is how we pay her.
>>26033072
Glare at Joyride and say that Ruby can do something else than that.
>>26033072
Tell Joyride to stop being so goddamn edgy and rapey around everyone, and tell Ruby we do errands for Joyride, like an apprentice sorta.
>>26033072
Tell Ruby we serve our Mistresses needs and leave it at that.
I like how we've basically defined ourselves as Joyride's whore.
>>26033072
Tell her that were a whore because we're shortsighted and a dumb kid who Koen has Stockholm syndrome from it all (and from the people who tell us what to do).
>>26033072
Tell Ruby we prostitute ourselves for buts and Joy is our pimp.
>>26033072
Sigh and tell Ruby the truth.
>>26033072
Explain to Ruby that we work for Joy as a hooked and as a sexual amusement toy.
Since I guess that's what the posters here want for some reason.
>>26033395
>>26033382
>>26033362
>>26033346
Can we not say that?
>>26033072
Glare at Joyride and tell Ruby that we'll pay for her.
>>26033422
Really. Some people have no sense of tact.
>>26033426
It's not a lack of tact. It's utter butthurt about Joy.
>>26033422
I prefer not to
.
>>26033072
Obviously, you speak of your great skills as a translator and diplomat.
>>26033422
Seconded. Keep this hidden for now and reveal it in an intimate scene where we break down and cry into Ruby.
>>26033072
Tell Ruby that she doesn't have to pay anything and that we'll pay for her.
>>26033422
it's true though. there is no sense in prettying it up
>>26033072
Say that we help Joyride any way we can. That she can help with chores and stuff or when we explore places for the items.
>>26033072
tell ruby that joy wants her to be a whore. It's not a big deal
>>26033072
Isn't that kinda backwards?
She is helping Joy with her quest, Ruby will be working for her. Who pays their employer for work?
It is Joy who should be paying her, not the other way around.
>>26033474
Amusing, though I would hate to think that Emerald has already become that hollow.
>>26033485
i thought we wanted to be like joy? being hollow is a good thing.
>>26033479
This baka desu senpai
>>26033485
Well some do. Some don't.
If I remember correctly I think we already told Ruby we do sex for cash I think. She brought up something about how she wouldn't sell her body for cash but didn't blame us for doing it.
I'm just trying to hide hide that emerald sells spunk for magic lessons because it's embarrassing.
>>26033485
It was our choice to do this whore out,let not lie it's been fun.I just don't want Ruby to think she has no choice just because Joy wants to punk us because she thinks we like a girl.
>>26033497
We wanted to be as powerful she still has some baggage and we'll hopefully won't make the same mistakes but I guess that comes with the territory of master mage. Nothing comes for free.
>>26033497
I personally think that becoming hollow would be a bad thing for Emerald in the long run. He has enough issues as it is. We don't want him to become something like Uncle Lucky when he get's older.
>>26033558
should have thought of that before we agreed to dumb bullshit then huh?
>>26033479
>Who pays their employer for work?
Spongebob Squarepants
>>26033572
Well that was a long time ago and we can always guide Emerald away from this kind of life if we so choose.
>>26033538
>If I remember correctly I think we already told Ruby we do sex for cash I think.
Nope.
>>25963240
Maybe Ruby will wanna have some fun later, but let's not be tactless and basically shove it down her throat.
Ruby will have plenty of chances to prove herself later and Emerald should press that on Joy.
>>26033593
yeah not likely
>>26033572
>Salt: The post
>>26033072
Perhaps this is a path we should walk alone. If were so worried about Ruby knowing of our double life. Besides we are training to get revenge this could get messy and its not like we cant come back to see Ruby later.
>>26033072
Tell her that Ruby can prove herself on the road and doesn't have to pay right now.

Emerald clears his throat in an embarrassed way, and then tells Joyride that she is being creepy, and that she shouldn't make Ruby do what he does. Furthermore, if Ruby is helping her get a potion, shouldn't that be enough of a payment already?
"It'd be enough of a payment if the potion ingredients were right around the corner, but if I bring her along I'm going to have to pay for her food, lodging, 'annoying me' tax, etc... Why shouldn't I want something from her?"
Emerald says that maybe she can run errands for her, or cook and clean.
"You aren't going to let this go are you?" Joyride says rolling her eyes, "Well you are lucky filly juices aren't worth nearly what yours are. Fine, you clearly want to stick your dick in this girl bad enough to want me to drag her along. She can be my errand boy if she wants. You okay with that, Ruby?"
Ruby seems to take offense to being called "Boy", but nods her head, "To get away from this town I'd do whatever errands you want."
"Good. Here is your chance to prove it. First task." She says, pulling out a few bits, "Go to where ever you sleep and gather your things, if you have any. Second, on the way back stop by the alley behind Fairflank's Furniture store and find a guy with a funny hat and a stupid beard. Ask him for some 'Whitehill Gold'. You got all that?"
Ruby nods, and taking the bits dashes out the door.
>>26033675
Ask Joyride what Whitehill Gold is?
>>26033669
so the answer is yes. go lie down and take a nap, it will make you feel better.
>>26033675
Tell Joy that she should be nicer.Tell joy that we're gonna go read, but instead slip out and follow Ruby, just to make sure Joy didn't send her to a rapist's house or something.
>>26033708
So yes you're salty. Thanks for admitting it.
>>26033675
Smile at Joyride for our little victory.
>>26033675
Tell Joyride not to worry she'll prove herself in time. I feel confidant about it.
>>26033675
Thank Joyrideand hope nothing goes wrong with Ruby
>>26033675
You know joy, you seem to get pretty angry when I get close to mares. Why is that?
> 'annoying me' tax
Top kek.
>>26033675
Tell Joyride that we'll make it up to her if things don't work out with Ruby. But say we feel certain that things will work.
>>26033675
It's not a big deal. We can pay for her food if necessary.
I think we should go follow ruby too, i'm still remembering that time she wanted us to get illegal ingredients, and failed to mention they were illegal.
>>26033799
This too.
>>26033675
Ask Joyride how are things going for our upcoming departure.
>>26033675
Ask Joy if she has our focus done yet?
Im itching to try out our spells. Plus if we're doing spell combat it might give us the chance to hit joy in the face with a mud clod and that will be funny if she instinctively tries to lick it off with her tongue.
Also let Ruby handle herself, she already got upset over us playing for the puppet show, she seems like the self reliant type.
>>26033753
I think she's a bit worry about losing us to some girl given her past experiences. She seems to have abandonment issues.
>>26033848
I like Joy, even if she's annoyingly brazen sometimes.
>>26033675
Heh, "annoying me tax"
That one was pretty funny, Joy.
>Whitehill Gold
That's what the drug dealer horse had on him when we we're collecting those ingredients a few days ago
>>26033848
Let's wait to see what she says.
>>26033675
Tail Ruby to make sure she's okay.
>>26033912
Good memory, you're right. I totally forgot about that little encounter, let alone that's one of the ingredients he had.
>>26033675
I think we should let Ruby do it herself.
If she doesn't prove she can get things done on her own, it will probably be less likely for Joy to agree on letting her join our adventures.
>>26033707
>>26033799
>>26033848
I'm agreeing with these posts.
>>26033964
We should poke at Joy, imo.
Ask if she's worried about losing us to Ruby.
Tell her that if she keeps acting like a dick it doesn't make us want to stay.
Why is Joy so annoying? Why the fuck can't we just ignore her more? Can any supporters for leaving or at least marginalizing Joy chime in, if nothing else but to sound off?
Hell, this is a cyoa after all. On thing that is really starting to irk me is how quick people are forgetting the side quests we could go on. Like exploring deeper in the cave, finding out who's who around town, spending more time with Sensoria, training with Sensoria, etc.
But for some reason all people vote for is spending time getting ragged on by Joy.
I blame the mix of new people who don't have any clue what's going on and also Joy trolls. I'm sure Joy supporters don't care (why would they?), but it still feels like there's so much more fun stuff being missed just so we could be a "Yes man" for Joy.
>>26033675
Tell her we are going out and see Sensoria.
>>26033991
Yeah I think we should grill her a bit about what her problem is.
>>26034003
You do bring up an interesting point, we could be exploring a bit more. but I still think we can do that and stay with Joy, it's not like we're with her 24/7.
>>26034003
Personally I want to learn more from Joy, but recently she's been a real dick.
First the cock blocking, and now she's perving on Ruby.
I want to confront Joy about it and hopefully move along with the magic studies.
However if she keeps being a pain I don't mind taking a break from her shenanigans.
>>26033675
Go out and explore town for a bit like the docks.
>>26034003
We should leave joy. She is a big distraction and shit. She's so insufferable but we'll never leave her because op railroads.
>>26033964
(Same Anon)
Ruby also knows the streets and probably how they operate, so her streetsmarts should help her out.
Forgot to add that tidbit to the post.
>>26033991
I'm all for snarking back at her.
I like the first part about losing us to Ruby, though she'll counter how she doesn't want us to be cheating on Hope.
>>26034003
I've been here since the second thread and frankly, I just like Joy, even if I'm also cautious about her.
Sadly, these threads tend to start very late in the night where I'm at, so I haven't been able to contribute alot to the last couple of threads and have mostly just had to tag along with everyone else's decisions.
I would kinda like to explore what the town has to offer and do other things, just as long as we don't permanently leave Joy... Yet.
>>26033991
We'll have to call her bluff.
She's a real baby about her feelings. Perhaps it's time for some real talk.
Some people just can't handle a little banter from a mare that's looked out for us from the jump. Where's the option to grow a thicker skin?
>>26034154
Arch will just samefag against it
>>26034208
I think I feel his samefag presents now infact.
>>26034154
Way to spin it like joy is our matron and not our sleazy pimp or some shit.
You know. Cuz I really want Emerald growing up to act like the mare who just casually smears semen into her fur and skin when it's eventually brought up that it plasters her face.
Yep. Joy's a real fun class act.
>>26033675
Ask how many days is it until we have to leave? As there are a few things we would like to do before we go.
>>26034154
Don't be silly anon.
Joy is literally the devil, and must be stopped.

(Last for the night. Also, anyone have any palette suggestions for Ruby since I guess it doesn't look so great?)
Emerald watches Ruby leave with a smile. It's nice to have some little victory of Joyride. He wants to Ruby, but he knows that she will do well by herself. After all, she's lived in Whitherwater almost all her life. She probably knows a lot more of it's secrets than most.
Emerald suddenly remembers the furniture store Joyride was talking about, and particularly the pony behind it. he asks what Whitehill Gold is.
"A drug. By itself it isn't going to do anything to me but... Well, if you want to see some REAL alchemy I'll show you what I do with it!" Joyride says, chuckling.
Emerald instead turns to Joyride, and asks her how the preparations for leaving are going.
"I was thinking about leaving the day after tomorrow. I still have a few things I need to do, mostly check on the enchantments for some of the supplies I want to bring. Oh yeah, thanks for going and grabbing the food and stuff, it was delivered today and I have it stored away already."
Emerald asks if she managed to finish his focus yet.
"Nope. Come bug me when you wake up tomorrow morning though. should have it by then." Joyride says, grabbing dishes and piling them in sink. Turning away from him to scrub the dishes by hoof.
Finally, Emerald asks Joyride to be nicer. She seems to always get rude whenever Emerald gets close to mares. If she wants him to stay acting like a dick isn't going to make him want to do it.
Emerald sits there and waits for her response, but she just continues to wash dishes.
Emerald doesn't know what he was expecting, but it wasn't silence. It's a little unnerving.
What does Emerald do?
>>26034261
>Way to spin it like joy is our matron
She has been this entire quest. If she didn't have a heart of gold, she would have sold Emerald out for the reward a long time ago.
>>26034357
Tell her that you know others have left, you know they hurt her.
You don't have any plans to leave, but Joy, you catch, and keep, more flies with honey, you know?
>>26034357
A lighter coat shade would probably be better. It's too similar atm.
>>26034357
Ruby should have a lighter coat is all.
>>26034357
See if Joyride is okay.
>>26034357
Maybe a tan-colored coat?I'm bad at visualizing colors...
>>26034357
She needs a non-sexy hug.
Tell her to just give ruby a chance and maybe she'll be come apart of our weird dysfunctional family to with hope.
>>26034386
>>26034423
Make sure she is alright, but do mention that you wish that she'd be a bit more kind. A golden heart means nothing if you're a dick 80% of the time.
>>26034357
If Joyride appears to be Upset then I suggest we take a walk out into town. Maybe visit Sensoria or the Zebra Olam.
>>26034357
I think we should clarify.
We mean br kind in words. In actions Joyride has been quite kind to us, but she talks a harsh game.
We know she's good because of what she does, but others might not see it if she treats them poorly in conversation.
>>26034366
are you choosing to forget her saying that she can get more out of using us then she can get with gold or do you just not remember?
You kids really can't handle the Joybantz can you?
>>26034445The Codex Astartessupports this action.
Through our topsy-turvy life, she's one of the very few friends we have, and, in a very strangeand kinda disturbingway, one of the closest things we have to family.
>>26034357
Tell joy that's all you wanted to say to her and leave. Thank her for the dinner.
>>26034357
Just clarify that we like spending time around her but would also like to feel comfortable having friends around, too.
If she still says nothing, just drop it and help with the dishes.
>>26034357
I know it's always annoying to hear mixed responses, but I think Ruby's colors are fine. I like that her darker colors contrast with Emerald's lighter colors, but maybe that's just me.
Also I hope Joyride isn't taking it the wrong way when we asked her to be nicer. So we should ensure her that we're thankful for her and that she is nice, at least sometimes.
>>26034520
I don't really mind the players' inability to handle it, given Emerald's personality he probably wouldn't either. Even if he dismissed it as joking it'd still wear at him since he's not the 'giving shit' personality type. Joy is the friend you need to take a break from every now and again.
>>26034366
>>26034366
You are an idiot because you can treatise Joy is playing Emerald for the long haul. What she gets out of him is far more than what she puts in. It is anything but fair no matter what you think.
Unless you're as dumb as the natives who accepted beads for the whole fucking state of Rhode Island.
>>26034357
>>26034552
Also about Ruby's color scheme, the darkness of it kind of clashes with the usual pony pastel colors. It's not a big deal, though.
>>26034357
Apologize and say we are not trying to hurt her feelings it's just that we feel at times that some of her jokes come off more rude than anything.
>>26034562
Joy is not a friend. I'm seriously fucking sick of people acting like she's some wounded woman with a heart of gold under the ice when in reality she's a shallow, cold, disgusting bitch who made a bad call for immortality and now has to make it everyone else's problem.
Anyone who thinks Emerald is that "one special colt that'll turn her around! : )" is either pants on head retarded or a troll.
>>26034577
Didn't think they they were getting gifts and it not being a trade?
>>26034357
Whoever writes this quest does an incredibly unsatisfying job.
>>26034614
Way to ignore my fucking point about the story. I'll entertain your shit after you address it.
Even then, it would mean Emerald is getting played by Joy and just buying into it.
So did JAD's "Everyone that disagrees with me is stupid :(" guy move over here?
>>26034577
>>26034607
At this point I just feel sad for you.
You must be a miserable person.
>>26034607
>either pants on head retarded
https://youtu.be/kVdGw6gTfDU?t=1m58s
>>26034607
She is a friend.
A crazy, selfish, perverted, rude, wonderful friend.
>Anyone who thinks Emerald is that "one special colt that'll turn her around! : )" is either pants on head retarded or a troll.
Or, they are right. Only time will tell.
>>26034520
More like Joy is so salty about Emerald having fun that she can't stand it. Sort of like some comical 5 year old cartoon villain.
>>26034637
Oh he's been a fixture for quite some time.
>>26034607
>>26034634
Oh I'm actually some random anon. I think you're right about joy being a bitch that's just using emerald.
>>26034577
>>26034607
I don't know, Arch. You're the one that samefagged to become her apprentice. You tell me why you're backpedaling all of a sudden?
>>26034637
That's always a good way to get people to agree with you. "I-If you don't agree with my arguments you're j-just stupid!" I mean, that's the only way someone could disagree right?
Whatever. This quest is obviously railroaded towards being Joy centric. I'd highly doubt that the QM will make Emerald leave Joy, and I also bet she obviously will have some gay redemption scene at the end involving her ex lover or some other horribly contrived character.
Basically colt quest has become "fix Joy's life for her" quest.
And that is incredibly, incredibly lame.
So is anyone thinking about doing some fanart?
>been on the ride for years
>never had anything close to a waifu before
>mfw Joy is really damn close to that
A fucking OC, but dammit i wish she was real
>>26034701
> I'd highly doubt that the QM will make Emerald leave Joy
The QM isn't forcing the players to do something they don't want to do. My god. The horror. The QM not railroading. Say it isn't so.
>>26034701
It doesn't have to be. Just tell Emerald things that would guide him away from her. Your choice, your vote.
>>26034701
This is just the joy arc, my friend, we agreed to become her apprentice and now we are going until the end, and the idea of abandoning Joy right now would be fucking stupid anyway, literally 2-3 butthurt faggots samefaging because they can't handle the banter
>>26034708
I can understand. That toothy grin is to die for.
>>26034445
I like this idea it might really catch her off guard
>>26034357
If Joyride is not upset then I suggest we go read or stroll into town. But if she is then we should comfort her.
>>26034445
I do agree, give her a hug.
>>26034445
This
Give the lewd mare a hug, man
>>26034651
Great turnaround.
>>26034661
Yup. Can't wait for the next time Joy torslly helps us for the sake of liking us or altruism...oh wait.
>>26034684
Can't beat that.
>>26034689
Basically, yeah. Quest will end with either "redemption" or "betrayal" by Joy. Naturally the Joy fags wills scream their precious heads off for Joy to be happy, so naturally our QM will make it so.
Of course after she also had her fun manipulating Emerald the whole time.
Because her redemption totally negated her bitchy attitude and the ways she treated Emerald and others : )
>>26034690
Not Arch. But whatever.
I think it's incredibly gay that there is some super sekret klub that decided this is now a Joy quest.
She's never fun.
>>26034708
>>26034743
You must be massive subs.
>>26034785
Yes, but that's not the only thing that makes me like her so much
>>26034445
>>26034761
>>26034772
Agreeing with the hugs. But we shouldn't let her off the hook completely. Tell her we were offended by some of her "Jokes" and how she treats us sometimes. But we do still care for her somewhat.
>>26034729
Demonstrably wrong. QM ignores posts all the time.
>>26034790
It's not so much being offended, but more that some of the jokes contained enough edge that it seemed intended to cut. She's a fun mare to be around when she's not being a twat about it.
>>26034802
>[citation needed]
When has the QM gone against the majority?
We should spank joy.Watch faggots disagree with me.
>>26034775
Be patient my friend, Joy is fucked in the head and we still don't know what makes her tick, and like her or not she still is our greatest ally
>Because her redemption totally negated her bitchy attitude and the ways she treated Emerald and others
She is an asshole, but she clearly shows she gives a shit about Emerald, there is no reason to be so butthurt, specially considering that all the shit we are getting happened because WE decided to do that in the first place
>I think it's incredibly gay that there is some super sekret klub that decided this is now a Joy quest.
And thankfully OP seems to be using his moral compass instead of just picking whatever post has the most "upvotes", so unless you have a better idea that isn't a rigged strawpoll or a tripfag circlejerk, this is how its gonna happen, and so far the majority seems to like Joyride or at least stick around to her
>people say choose matter
Ok. I vote Emerald acts a bit more dominant, or at least tries.
>lol that's fucking dumb Anon I'm a sub and I like subby Emerald even though I just said your vote should matter if it's the majority
How about he tries boy clothes?
>lol so dumb Anon
Ok... how about we do something about Joy constantly giving us lip when we treat her with much more respect and it's clearly wearing thin?
>LOL SOMEONE CAN'T HANDLE THE BARTZ
Where do I even begin?
>>26034820
Emerald's clothes is the most glaring.
Read the fucking threads.
>>26034861
Most of the people at DB thought it looked unisex enough.
>>26034852
>being this butthurt just because nobody else wants the same shit as you
Please, fuck off to the booru where you belong
>>26034861
Which instance? I seem to remember the majority being followed every time clothing has come up.
>>26034833
Thanks for being the umpteenth person in the thread to admit in a roundabout way that the QM basically railroads the quest regardless of the audience. Then the audience base change he's and the majority wonders why they now have a small but vocal group of dissenters.
Gee. What a fucking conundrum.
>>26034852
How about accepting your opinions don't reflect everyone else's? Maybe realizing you can't expect to get your way all the time? Some self-awareness please.
>>26034886
No anon, that one player doens't get his choices followed so NO ONE has any choice! Just like how a few threads back Joy RAPED Emerald by offering him a choice he could decline. The Anon's logic is flawless.
>>26034886
Such a great argument. Wow. Totally blew me away. And that pic really capped it off, too.
Sounds like someone worships the literal walking pillar of salty orgasm denial that is Joy.
>>26034904
emerald shouldn't have been given that choice in the first place. We didn't need or want money. It was just joy being her bitchy self again.
>>26034888
Fuck you. You're just baiting. Go back and read how the QM literally wrote the majority opinion out of the story. It's happened multiple times where the majority opinion gets ignored. Or that it's somehow a troll post to get Emerald to do something without Joy. I can't belive were still helping her this far in.
>>26034894
I honestly don't see this as railroaded, just as a path or arc we chose that we are now following, its like people think this is a Nickfury CYOA where we can just make Emerald shoot apples from his asshole or go super sayian, and the fucking newfags should fucking lurk, if people suggest stupid shit we call them for that and move on with our lives, the end, there is no need to derail the thread because some idiots are forcing their hot opinions everywhere, since OP can't tell who is who we should at least show that we don't want that shit idea to speak for all of us
And we DO influence the story, railroad or not, we are just bound to Emerald's point of view which is why sometimes shit we wish to happen doesn't really happen
>>26034934
>I can't give an instance of it, but it happened! Believe me please! You're just a troll if you don't believe me!
Alright. You've given away that you have no legs to stand on.
>>26034833
This, desu.
I have nothing against the people who don't like Joy, she needs to be watched even though I still like her, but a lot of the time it just boils down to arguing against her instead of coming up with ideas.
Just like they most like won't change their opinion, they need to realize that we won't change ours no matter how many times the same points are brought up and argued for over and over again.
I'm not saying the Joy-supporters don't act the same way sometimes, it tends to be black and white and ignoring the shades of grey on both sides.
It doesn't contribute in any way and just brings down the mood instead of being constructive.
So is anyone playing doing some fanart tonight?
>>26034954
I agree.
>>26034961
At this point I'd literally kill Joy. She's so terrible to be around. Nothing pleases her besides Emerald's discomfort. She pushes his limits of sexual and emotional comfort then slides him a bowl of icecream like it's no big thing.
I like how we also said we'd stick with Joy to get the ring off for some reason and now here we fucking are, being a little fucking prostitute for some salty asshole who can't cum and needs to somehow make it our problem.
I'd kill her. Because at this point just being around her is insufferable. She's literally a 4channer personified.
Joyride is the penultimate autism.
>>26034961
Nah now is the Arch shits up the thread and talks to himself hour
>>26034961
planning. ugh!
>>26034951
You're so witty. You must be such a popular person.
>>26034980
I thought Arch is/was pro Joyride?
>>26034976
Didn't she said she saw a lot of herself on Emerald? Or maybe i am wrong, i dunno, but to be fair she clearly doesn't give a fuck about sex, she didn't even noticed that cum on her face and when she did she reacted like it was nothing
>I'd kill her. Because at this point just being around her is insufferable. She's literally a 4channer personified.
>Joyride is the penultimate autism.
well than i guess that explains why i like her so much
>>26034993
This thread is full of retarded people. Who cares?
>>26034980
Hey, how about we just ignore and don't put some random attention whore on the pedestal for once? How about we ignore his existence and use actual arguments instead of bitching about attention whore ruining the thread, which will only attract attention whore and false flagging shitposters
Just sayin
>>26034986
I'm just relaying what you're saying. Tell me a post or an instance that I can look up. Clothing has come up four or five times and I'm not looking through half the quest for probably non-existent evidence of your position for you.
If you're not going to you're just asking me to believe you just because.
I actually don't like joy because I see her as the pony incarnation of Cold Steel the Hedgehog.
She's way over powered and is super edgy while at the same time also super salty about everything like a brooding tween.
>>26035009
>he-here I go, not looking at the threads.
Whatever.
>>26035015
Agreed, we are also becoming too dependent on her
>>26035020
>B-believe me!
Alright then.
>>26035015
?
That doesn't really sound like Joyride.
>>26035009
http://desustorage.org/mlp/thread/25496118
>>26035042
She is still super powered though
>>26035015
Oh god you're right. That's hilarious.
>>26035042
She's certainly overpowered, but I'm guessing that the rest of it is projecting. Probably the same tumblrtards that whine about how voluntary intercourse is rape.
This thread made me think, let's say i make some intentional wrong post about a subject, nothing too obvious, just a wrong opinion, them a few minutes later i samefag with another post saying "this" or some shit like that, would be possible that the other post alone would make all the people who see both posts question it legitimacy, making them believe the wrong opinions are actually right and maybe even agree with them publicly?
>>26035069
>Probably the same tumblrtards that whine about how voluntary intercourse is rape.
Wow Anon, such an odd choice for a comparison right there, out of nowhere, anything you would want to tell us?
>>26035046
>Joy not offering to help us is railroading.
Man. Maybe we are becoming to dependent on Joy. Nothing stopped us from using our bits to walk out and buy a leather jacket or something.
>>26035077
Then throw a tantrum and accuse people of conspiring against you when everyone sees through your tactics
>>26035015
>>26035034
I actually have a hard time believing that people haven't made the connection between Joy and every other edgy OC in existence.
She basically ticks all the boxes:
>super OP
>immortal due to edgy plot device reason
>brooding over lost lover yet still a literal sex machine and able to get laid however she wants
>criminals and underworlders fear her power and reputation that even they would never cross her
>poofy dress and dramatic cloak
>has access to the most powerful magic items and ingredients
>has access to all key people
>has ultimate library with all magic knowledge and more
>can fight a dragon and win
>even dragons know her by name
>ccan make a harem out of whatever she wants
Holy shit, I'm seriously laughing aloud making this list.
>"Nothing personnel, kid!"
>>26035077
Hey, quit copying my tactics.
>>26035088
>going full /pol/
Brilliant, them use strawmans and boogeymans to my advantage, associating anyone who disagrees with me to be part of the extreme opposition while trying to keep my high ground
>>26035093
so what you're saying saying is we should play as joy
>>26035123
Basically, yeah.
She's sorta hilarious though. She's so wildly strong, connected, and capable while having the most generic "mysterious brooding past" cliché that, to me, I have a hard time taking her seriously.
>>26035093
>>immortal due to edgy plot device reason
Was that even explained? I don't think its fair to call it edgy before it even being revealed
>brooding over lost lover yet still a literal sex machine and able to get laid however she wants
>can make a harem out of whatever she wants
Being a deviant is not OC shit though, and she clearly tries to fill the void with sex, which is something people do a lot IRL
>poofy dress and dramatic cloak
How the fuck is that edgy?
>has access to the most powerful magic items and ingredients
She is a merchant, of course she will own rare shit
>has access to all key people
>has ultimate library with all magic knowledge and more
>can fight a dragon and win
>even dragons know her by name
She is old as fuck, and travels everywhere, of course she will have a reputation
Half of the shit you mentioned can be summed up as "she is OP", but we still don't know where any of that stuff comes from, and the other half makes sense when you consider her backstory
I do agree that she is way too reliable, but this isn't neither edgy or OC, just regular bad writting
>>26035155
You seem to be making some pretty reaching observations. What about her is brooding? She's upset about a former apprentice. That's about all she's got in terms of brooding.
>>26035186
Having a single regret in your history makes you brood Anon. Even if it's barely mentioned and never really comes up.
>>26035186
How about the fact that it's been years and she STILL hasn't gotten over this ONE apprentice because she left her for some guy?
>>26035241
Sounds like she was pretty important to her.
>>26035256
I could understand her being important, what I can't understand is that she's STILL trying to numb herself.
>>26035276
Oh god, I'm fucking dieing over here.
