I figured I'd set up a little thread for announcing and organizing the little things that get all the ponies a'twittering!
Juicy, juicy gossip.
There something circulating about your character? Good, bad, downright scandalous! Post it!
Just run under the assumption that things posted here is what's circulating IC, not OOC information that ponies wouldn't know.
So take it with a lick of salt! Because you all know that gossip isn't always true.
Or is it..?

And to start off the gossip chain thread, I give you the following!
With contact between the Crystal Empire and Equestria becoming more and more frequent, unsettling rumors have begun in Canterlot and spread to nearby Ponyville and Cloudsdale in the passing weeks. Ponies who have spoken with visiting crystal ponies say they’ve been warned about someone, that many of the visitors grow nervous and distrustful when they discovered a rare member of their race was already in Canterlot.
“M-m-mimic? S-she’s in C-canterlot? …l-l-look out for that one. She’s t-t-trouble.”
“…I heard Princess Cadence exiled her from the Empire! She’s no student and she’s certainly not a diplomat! She’s here so Princess Celestia and Princess Luna can keep an eye on her!”
“Well, Gilded Lily, I do say have you heard that shy little crystal unicorn was a *spy*? For King Sombra no less! Such scandal! Some pony I met at Upper Crust’s luncheon said he was told when he visited the Empire he found out that she might even be the King’s illegitimate daughter according to those crystal ponies. And she seems like such a sweet young thing. Goes to show you can’t trust anypony these days.”
“You know… her magic is kinda odd… all wispy looking and creepy shades of red. I saw the stained glass window in the castle of the King’s defeat and his horn was red. Think there’s a relation?”
What of any of these rumors is truth or nasty gossip is unknown, but the stories told from the crystal ponies, so far, seem to all hold a very similar note in regards to one of the only crystal unicorns that’s ever been seen:
Spy.
King Sombra’s closest servant.
Don’t trust Mimic.
OOC: If you are from the Empire and were around before/during the reign of Sombra and the Empire’s exile, you are more than welcome to say you’re familiar with/has seen/knows Mimic. Be advised that things may need to be adjusted should more of the backstory of Sombra's reign and the Crystal Empire be developed in the upcoming season(s).

Nightshade is definitely going to be interested in those rumours! <Nightshade> Indeed  Though, she's pretty good at generating rumours herself... ----------------------------------------------------------- Ever since Nightshade debuted on the social scene ( equestriamuck.proboards.com/index.cgi?board=logs&action=display&thread=495 ) she has begun to build a reputation of sorts. A charming young mare, most prodigious! For somepony her age she is full of such grace and elegance.I hear she was appointed the palace Overseer after just one petition; she must be very skilled indeed! Certainly her command of rhetoric is profound, and - oh! - such a breadth of knowledge about history, about society, about everything!Her mastery of the magical arts is superb. I work at Celestia's School for Gifted Unicorns, and I can tell you that she was one of the best students they ever had, well, before Twilight Sparkle came along that is...Yet intermixed with these few themes of praise are many darker hearings. She has such an icy demeanour; I don't think anypony has seen her smile, not ever her own family!I heard that she's foreign nobility, and that she's obsessed with gathering power for herself, to make up for what her family lost...She uses Shadow Magic...do you know what happens to Shadow Magic users? I once obtained a story about how they feed on your memories, and tend to become wraiths instead of just dying. Sombra was a Shadow Magic user, I think, the greatest even! And look what happened to /him/I heard from a friend, who's friends with a palace guard, who's friends with a kitchen servant, that she's been working on this secret project for the Princesses that not even the other officials know about. It all sounds so sinister.And if you dig deep, really really deep, you might catch a hint about plans which may alter the entire political landscape of Equestria... The Overseer seems very fascinated with the old ways of government, with the Diet, and the Officers of State, and all those other things that fell by the wayside when Celestia introduce absolutism. She's been going around prompting these...conversations about that sort of thing. The nobles never get past the beginning, but the businessponies, the military officers, the up-and-coming new money from the cities; they've been listening...((Nightshade is really only a known quantity in the fancy social scene of Canterlot, though some upper-class ponies who've been there might've heard of her. She's made a mark on Ponyville as well, given that she's from there and is known for getting herself promoted over Marble Memory. The last rumour, though, is a rare one to hear; you wouldn't really know about it unless you were poking around the shadowy edges of politics.)) |
