oh crap! Sorry about that! XD I was kinda half-way into a pizza coma earlier, heheheh. Those positions could be interchangeable for either of you though XD so I can work with both combinations... I feel silly now.

The way a "Stance" is portrayed in Chinese martial arts fiction (or "Wuxia") is kinda weird. In this context, the Five Symbol Stances are less Escotto standing around in a pose for a while, and more Escotto performing certain movements. For example, when using the Blue-Green Dragon Stance, Escotto imitates the movements of that symbole in order to affect its powers. If he stops doing so, or is interrupted (I.E. being hit, knocked down, etc), then he loses the effect.

Ahhh, makes enough sense to me ^.^

Well, I'm in a challenging starting position. The Crystal Empire is a long way from Everfree Forest. Then again, there might be a way if this is taking place as far ahead as Season 8.

I like to imagine Astral Gleam knows Sunburst. Not as a friend really, more like a... professional acquaintance. They're both academics and both live in the Crystal Empire, it's possible they've met professionally a couple of times. And then there's Twilight's School, what if Astral Gleam were visiting it as a Guest Professor, probably to give a few lectures about the history of the Crystal Empire (a pony who has actually lived through some of it would be rather qualified for such a job), and he was essentially invited on Sunburst's recommendation? Sunburst could have also had an ulterior motive, sending him to Twilight's School hoping it would inspire him to make a few attitude adjustments (Astral is still known for being a bit of a cynical prick after all). But it's while staying in Ponyville that he spots the crashing ships that night through his handheld telescope and this gives him adequate means to be near the plot as it begins.

That actually works nicely :D I had a couple of ideas, but you're is actually better there ;3

Though that reminds me! I forgot to specify the time of day! It's night of course, I'll go edit a bit about that into the IC... Granted, Day and night are a bit more 'controlled' in Equestria, hahahah XD

Hmmm, perhaps I should use the 0th post in the IC to keep track of immediate details in each new posting round >w>
