Uh, No Surprise.

Also, hi Fluttershy.
Yeah, Andromeda is heading for you. You got over 9000 years until it collides.

I would put my name forward but I am supsicious of your methods. How do you get humans across the barrier?

What barrier?

@Surprise Uhm Surprise I don't think using humans as pets is very nice

Would you rather they starve in the street?

You shouldn't really hit the hay, Ginger. You should just eat it.

Oh, wait, you can't digest cellulose, can you? Oh well.

Hey Fluttershy, how come you have a picture of Celestia in your avatar gallery? Since all the other pics are just adorable pictures of you.

There are special protein gates for that.

(Speaking out-of-character for a moment, I gotta say that the biggest headache in sockpuppetry is dealing with differing headcanons. I'm trying to wing it the best I can though)

(Incidentally I'm working on the fourth chapter of my Surprise fic)

@Moe

yeah I know what you feel. I think of all my sockpuppets celestia is the hardest, hence the reason I hardly use her anymoretongue. I got out of character very fast

Write some notes if the sock puppetry gets to messy.

How do you make sock puppets?

you just whip up a new account. It's easy, since Tvtropes doesn't require an email or anything of the sort.

I have a few pokemon sockpuppets laying around, haven't touched them in ages though...

Take a regular old sock, sew a pair of buttons on to represent eyes, then wear it on your hand like a puppet.

Wait, not that kind of sock puppet?

I think Pinkie is probably the hardest to sockpuppet. Especially since everyone has their own ideas.

@Chad: Just ask Fast Eddie to clear things up and you can make your knew account.

You need a new ip address for each account you make.

Why does Angel act so inconsistently towards you?

Really, keeping her consistent isn't the problem.

The problem is, having to do improv, I feel like she's becoming a one-trick horse (no pun intended). Seems like every time I whip her out, all that happens is the humans-as-pets thing comes up.

My original idea for Surprise was to have her be just completely out of left field. She lived up to her name, and just never said or did what you expect. The very first story I wrote that featured her introduced her by first introducing us to a human girl named Rose who worked for evil pony-hating humans. Rose was scary and antagonistic and spent an entire chapter acting like she was gonna kill the mane six. Then she helped them escape... and at the end, rips off her skin to reveal she's Surprise in a human suit. And before you have time to even figure out how that works they sped through town in a stolen van at top speed, ramping damn near everything and singing the soundtrack to Crazy Taxi.

I feel like I've lost a little bit of that initial wildness. Even in my newer "Surprise Days" fanfics, she seems somehow toned down, and not near as completely-out-of-left-field as she should be. Then again, she was barely even in chapter three, so...

Okay, I'll stop whining about my writer's block now.

It looks like our peak posting rate this evening was 80.8, not that far off from the old Thursday Night Spamathon.
