1.) Summer is almost over! Are you looking forward to autumn? Flann nodded thoughtfully. "Fewer travelers, and the weather's poorer, but the leaves are bonny, and ye feel connected wi' the world around ye." 2.) What is your favorite season? Flann paused, thinking it over. "I think there's somethin' tae every season: Winter's quiet, but the snow is pretty; the flooers of spring are bonny, and the world feels alive again; summer is filled wi' summer travelers; autumn's leaves and how one feels in tune wi' the turning of the world...there's somethin' for everyone. Probably autumn, or spring." 3.) Is there anything you want to do before summer ends? "If I can get some time, I would gae wi' my mate and my goat, Una, tae the fair the Flutters hae in the summer." 4.) What was your favorite thing about summer? "Talkin' tae the travelers and tradin' wi' them, if they've anythin' tae trade." 5.) What did you hate the most about summer? "The heat," Flann growled, lowering her ears in irritation. 6.) What is your favorite way to cool off from the heat? "Soakin' in the mountain streams for a guid while."
Owner's Name: ~Latonia de la Courtel~ Participating Soquili: Tsís'ná Link to Teepee:[Here]
1.) Summer is almost over! Are you looking forward to autumn? Tsís'ná gives an agreeable nod, her expression open and pleasant. "I am very much looking to autumn, to cooler weather and the crisp edge that the air takes on as time slips toward winter. It can't come soon enough!" 2.) What is your favorite season? The spirited mare gives a soft snort and a flick of her tail, ears flicking in contemplation. "I'm not sure if winter or autumn wins that contest, they're both vastly appealing over summer. I suppose if I am thinking of a singular favorite, I would pick autumn over winter... The snow can be somewhat limiting, so autumn for the sake of the discussion." 3.) Is there anything you want to do before summer ends? "I think I would prefer to avoid many of the fiercely hot days, and explore more early in the day or late in the evening." Tsís'ná replied with a slight glance at the weather around her. "Though in the rains, it isn't too terribly bad." 4.) What was your favorite thing about summer? "Well, the days are longer so I suppose more can be done? If one can avoid the heat, there's more time to do things before nightfall... That's appealing to me." 5.) What did you hate the most about summer? The mostly-dark mare gives a squinty-eyed look toward the brightness of the day and sighs. "The heat, most definitely. It's even worse on a dark hide, but if there's no breeze it is brutal even in the shade or for the lightest of Soquili." 6.) What is your favorite way to cool off from the heat? "Well, often enough I find the shade and breeze is good if you can get in a place where both of them in a high concentration.. But on a fierce summer day there's either cave of the mountains for escapes... Or wading into either a river or lake, or into the waves of the sea if one is close enough. Water, or elevation changes are the best to evade the heat."
Owner's Name: ~Latonia de la Courtel~ Participating Soquili: Lilavati Tondra Link to Teepee:[Here]
1.) Summer is almost over! Are you looking forward to autumn? "Well, I have to admit I like Winter and Spring a little bit more than Autumn, but since it will be a little cooler than summer, I do look forward to a bit of a break from the heat. The weather has been frightfully warm as of late, and I can't blame many of the others that would rather be low-key when the sun is high." 2.) What is your favorite season? "Oh," The silver tapir dancer hummed, tilting her head slightly. "I would have to say Spring is my favorite. I like the cooler weather and the way it feels like new beginnings, I like everything blooming and all of the baby animals appearing and... How there might be a little bit of snow in the highlands but it's melting away to reveal new growth and everything is sweet and green and song-filled." 3.) Is there anything you want to do before summer ends? "There are a few summer's end bonfire parties held by various groups? My friends have organized a few. They plan to roast some tasty snacks, and have a big bonfire for the party to dance and tell stories around... It should be quite enjoyable." 4.) What was your favorite thing about summer? The amethyst and silver mare laughs, shimmying enough to send all her adornments to chiming. "Is it strange to say the summer parties? My friends know how to have a good time!" 5.) What did you hate the most about summer? "If I've already admitted to liking the parties and the summer nights... I suppose the heat of the summer days is the biggest problem I have with the season? Some of us aren't built for baking in the sun." 6.) What is your favorite way to cool off from the heat? "Oh I definitely like a trip to the waterfalls or the river." Lila agrees quickly. "In fact, I think I'll head there now. If you'll excuse me?"
Owner's Name: ~Latonia de la Courtel~ Participating Soquili: Tonatiuh Adriata Knight of Sunwater Link to Teepee:[Here]
1.) Summer is almost over! Are you looking forward to autumn? Tonatiuh gives a somewhat disappointed sigh, shaking his head. "As nice as fall is, I'm afraid that summer is my favorite season and I'm a little disappointed to bid it farewell." 2.) What is your favorite season? The stallion gave a rumbling laugh and a shrug, flicking his tail. "Summer, by far and wide. Spring and autumn are nice enough but... Long summer days, and celebrations by the water. That's the best." 3.) Is there anything you want to do before summer ends? "Soak up every minute that we have remaining, I suppose?" He gives a grin and a toss of his head. "All the summer activities possible." 4.) What was your favorite thing about summer? "I'm a fan of the heat and the sun... of the long days, and the activities that occur. Summer usually means bonfire parties, tiki events, parties on the beach. It's a good time, who wouldn't love that?" 5.) What did you hate the most about summer? "There's no hate in me for summer," Tonatiuh countered. "Summer's great! Maybe the biting flies can be a problem in the meadows? But I stay closer to the coast in this weather, and it's not a problem." 6.) What is your favorite way to cool off from the heat? "To the sea, to the sea," Tonatiuh said in a sing-song tone, chuckling brightly. "I'll wade right into the ocean, play in the surf... walk in until my hooves barely touch the sand and swim. The Kelpi and Seathi are usually fun to play with, there's no chance I can beat them at a race but it's still fun to try! You should give it a go."
Owner's Name: ~Latonia de la Courtel~ Participating Soquili: Morien Link to Teepee:[Here]
1.) Summer is almost over! Are you looking forward to autumn? The flutter stallion gives a surprised look at the question, but then smiles. "Well, yes, I suppose so? Autumn is a nice season, one of transition and change... Things end and begin, harvests happen. It's good." 2.) What is your favorite season? "I do like spring quite a bit? There's something to be said for everything still being somewhat cool but green, with flowers and a little bit of snow and... It's perfect, don't you think?" 3.) Is there anything you want to do before summer ends? "Nothing really specific comes to mind. I'll do my best to enjoy the summer as it is, and enjoy what events happen now... And I hope to do the same in autumn." 4.) What was your favorite thing about summer? "Mostly my favorite about any season is the time I spend with friends, so there's not one thing that really stands out about the summer... If I'm being honest, I'll get a nap when it's very hot, if I can.. To avoid the warmest hours of the day." 5.) What did you hate the most about summer? "Nothing to hate about a season, I'll just do my best to go elsewhere if I am not enjoying something about my surroundings. If it's too hot, there are caves to go exploring in, for example. Try that, rather than hating the season?" 6.) What is your favorite way to cool off from the heat? "Well, have you ever taken a nap in a field of flowers? Flutters can usually get away with sleeping in a flower, and when that sways in the breeze you stay pretty cook."
Owner's Name: ~Latonia de la Courtel~ Participating Soquili: Mahiz Indurata Vesihiisi "Hiss" Link to Teepee:[Here]
1.) Summer is almost over! Are you looking forward to autumn? The stallion frequently called Hiss made a delighted snorting noise and nodded his head emphatically. "I truly am. Autumn is my sister's favorite season and I would like to think she'll be easier to find at the ensuing festivals and events." 2.) What is your favorite season? "Well they all have their charm? But late fall and early winter are probably the best in my mind. I like the harvests and the bounty of food it provides... but I also like the bite of cold, the crunch of leaves underfoot and the hint of snow on the wind." 3.) Is there anything you want to do before summer ends? "Well I wouldn't mind attending another summer festival... The locals around here really know how to throw a good party. Have you been? There's food and games and new friends to meet... Music and stories. It's great!" 4.) What was your favorite thing about summer? "There are lots of games and events and things, don't you think? I've seen summertime faires with things to help you stay cool, water and beach parties... Special treats, or trips to the caves or into the mountains in pursuit of the cold... And if you like the heat there are even more games and events and picnics... That part has been really interesting." 5.) What did you hate the most about summer? "Well I'm glad I don't have a dark coat to worry about soaking up all the sun... But the flies are pretty bad, unbearably so. Thankfully I've made some new friends that make a reduction of herbs that you can pour on, or get coronets and things of braided herbs... That helps to keep the bitey pests at bay. I'm very grateful for it." 6.) What is your favorite way to cool off from the heat? Hiss tilted his head thoughtfully at this last question, then perked up. "Actually, I was recently at a Faire that had what they were calling sheered ice? It was chips of ice with different flavorings poured over it and stuff added on... Some of it included mashed fruit and a sugared or honey beverage.. All in all it was delicious. That's probably the best way to cool off in the heat."

1.) Summer is almost over! Are you looking forward to autumn?
Yes. The skull requires considerably more explanation in the summer months than it does during the rest of the year.
2.) What is your favorite season?
Fall. My job gets harder in the snow, you understand. Plus, spring is muddy.
3.) Is there anything you want to do before summer ends?
There's a certain mare I wouldn't mind happening to run into again...though I suppose that's not dependent on the season. I'd like to get to the ocean, perhaps.
4.) What was your favorite thing about summer?
Meeting a few new Soquili. It was a breath of fresh air, and I appreciated each interaction.
5.) What did you hate the most about summer?
Hot. Too. Hot. Oh and also almost dying. That wasn't exactly fun.
6.) What is your favorite way to cool off from the heat?
Swimming! I love to swim, and then let the sun dry me off. I get very fluffy!

I mean...I guess. I like summer better, though - it's too easy to get depressed in the darker months.
2.) What is your favorite season?
Summer. I like the sunshine.
3.) Is there anything you want to do before summer ends?
I have a sudden interest in herbology and plants in general. I feel like I should know more about how they work, especially as a flutter.

Honestly? Getting away from my dad for a little bit. It was nice to relax...I think. I can't really remember all the details, but I'm pretty sure I had a good time.
5.) What did you hate the most about summer?
Fighting with my dad. But that's not unique to summer, so...
6.) What is your favorite way to cool off from the heat?
Going flutter-size and hiding out in a tree or a cool little flower. Lots more places to cool down when you're tiny than when you're a big horse tromping through everything.

2.) What is your favorite season?
Anything but winter, when almost all of my plants and growing things are asleep or dead. Also, it's cold.

Harvest a few more seeds to save them for next year, and work on crossbreeding a few of my flowers, if only to see if such a thing is possible.
4.) What was your favorite thing about summer?
Spending time in the greenhouse. We had an exceptionally strong season this year.
5.) What did you hate the most about summer?
Bugs. While some are necessary for growth, like bees, there are others that hurt my plants, and some that annoy me. I am grateful for the bats and other animals that eat mosquitos, especially.
6.) What is your favorite way to cool off from the heat?
I thrive in the heat. Those who run from nature instead of adapting to it are doomed to weakness.

Um...one time I lifted a real big rock out of the way on a mountain path my son and I were walking. Well, pushed, but still. 2.) What does being strong mean to you? It doesn't mean anything if there's no heart behind it, I tell you that for free. Being strong means having the ability to take a hit and keep going, I think. 3.) Do you feel strong? ...Not as strong as I wish I was.

1.) What's the heaviest thing you've ever lifted? My mama got her foot tangled in a rabbit hole once and I had to use my antlers to get her at the right angle so she could get it out. Not that I'm calling my mama heavy!!! I was just a kid and she was big!!! I mean, bigger than me! 2.) What does being strong mean to you? It means being able to walk the walk!

1.) It's spooky season! Do you have the courage to face what goes bump in the night?The mare gives you a long slow look before 'smiling' which was more a baring of her fangs, "Darling...I am what goes bump in the night." 2.) When do you think you've been at your most courageous?"I have never had the option of not being courageous as you put it. I was hated by those who should have loved me even as an infant and tried to kill me. I faced death over and over only to land at the hooves of Death itself. It was he who became my father, my guardian; who taught me to court death and deal it upon those that would dare to cross me." 3.)

I have only ever done what I have to. Sure I have faced down many challenges and foes, but I did that to keep those I care about safe or protect someone from harm." 3.)

He paused with a soft smile crossing his muzzle, "Well I risked my heart when I asked my beloved mate to be mine and mine alone." 3.)

1.) It's spooky season! Do you have the courage to face what goes bump in the night? Things shouldn't go bump in the night! How frightening. I will be in my coral home, thank you very much, and the bumping can just kindly leave me alone. 2.) When do you think you've been at your most courageous? Deciding to strike out on my own, rather than living in the coddling, suffocating, safe environment of my family. 3.) What does courage mean to you? Courage is the action of setting out when the end result is unknown. It is taking a chance and hoping things will turn out the way you want them to. I guess courage is just another form of hope, in my opinion.

1.) Gotta go fast! Do you like to run? Running is fine, I suppose, but I much prefer to fly. I do like to get a running start before I take off, though, because I do gotta go fast.
2.) They say slow and steady wins the race. Do you think that's true? Objectively it is not true. If you are slow, you will not win against someone who is fast. What you need to be is fast and strategic, fast and careful. Too many people mistake 'fast' for 'careless'.
3.) Your friend is hosting a thirty mile marathon, and you decide to join. Bob runs at eight miles per hour and Sally runs at seven miles per hour, but Bob slows down by 32% halfway through the race, and Sally speeds up by 10% in the last five miles. At the fifteen mile mark, everyone stops for a drink of water and some apples for thirty minutes. How many apples do you eat? Two. And I don't stop for thirty minutes to do it, either!
1.) Gotta go fast! Do you like to run? Yes! It can be so incredibly freeing! When I need to think, I find running as fast as I can for as long as I can is very helpful for clearing my mind and allowing me to focus on whatever I need to consider.
2.) They say slow and steady wins the race. Do you think that's true? I think the steadiness is the key part here. Consistent energy spent on growing is better than fits and spurts of intense effort inconsistently.

It can be enjoyable from time to time, but I don't think frenetic, frantic energy is helpful to anyone, honestly.
2.) They say slow and steady wins the race. Do you think that's true?
I would rather do it slow and right than fast and wrong, so...I guess so?

1.) Gotta go fast! Do you like to run?
No. It's exhausting. I would love a slow amble, but having children means that you're running more than you'd like to be regardless, so...
2.) They say slow and steady wins the race. Do you think that's true?
In all ways except for a literal race, yes.
3.) Your friend is hosting a thirty mile marathon, and you decide to join. Bob runs at eight miles per hour and Sally runs at seven miles per hour, but Bob slows down by 32% halfway through the race, and Sally speeds up by 10% in the last five miles. At the fifteen mile mark, everyone stops for a drink of water and some apples for thirty minutes. How many apples do you eat?
I would never participate in a marathon. I have other things to do. However, I do love apples, so I would have at least three, I think.
Yes! These little legs can go as fast as the full-sized Soquili can!
2.) They say slow and steady wins the race. Do you think that's true?
I think it can be. When you go too fast, it's easier to make mistakes and hurt yourself or others. Slow and steady is calm and correct, but someone going fast is objectively going to be more likely to win a race than someone going slowly.

1.) What is intelligence to you? Well, there's book-smarts, right? And that's not me. But there's also like...knowing people. I don't know if that's me either. And there's knowing what to do in situations. That's probably definitely not me. So...I guess intelligence is, to me, pretty foreign. Haha.
2.) What kinds of things do you do to nurture your intelligence?
Mostly I try to listen to people who are smarter than me. You can't do that if you're talking all the time, which is hard for me to remember. I'm really trying. There's a lot of really smart people out there if you give 'em a chance to teach you something.
3.) How important is intelligence?
Not as important as heart, I think.

1.) What is intelligence to you? Hm. Intelligence, is, I think...the ability to change, and to make the right changes at the right time. It's knowing facts and information, sure, but it's more than just that. It's wisdom too, isn't it? 2.) What kinds of things do you do to nurture your intelligence? Stories. Stories of all kinds - true, fiction, and otherwise. You can learn so much from stories. I have to stay sharp, in all ways. I meditate. I learn from my mistakes. I learn from the mistakes of others. 3.) How important is intelligence? Probably the most important? Intelligence is the key to everything, in some way or another. Knowing what you have and knowing what to do with it...and knowing what matters. I think intelligence is key.
Owner's Name: Juliette06 Participating Soquili: Cirro Strata Link to Teepee:x
1.) What is intelligence to you? Intelligence is knowing when to speak and when to remain silent. It is when to act and when to remove yourself from a situation. Intelligence is having a very strong sense of timing, I think. 2.) What kinds of things do you do to nurture your intelligence? Honestly? Watching my children learn has been the most educating experience I've ever had. 3.) How important is intelligence? Very. The wise survive.

1.) In what ways do you utilize physical stamina in your day-to-day life? I don’t really care about being around other ponies, so I find having good stamina helps you avoid them. 2.) Stamina is more than just how long you can run at top speed. How does your mental and emotional stamina measure up? I spend most of my time alone in dark places. I imagine I have a stronger emotional stamina than most? 3.) Out of the five other stats (strength, courage, speed, intelligence, luck), which do you think goes hand-in-hand best with stamina? Luck, being able to keep going is good but getting lucky so you don’t have to keep going all the time is even better.

1.) In what ways do you utilize physical stamina in your day-to-day life? Just the other day I hiked up a snowy mountain and back down…however I thought I was in the jungle having tea so I’m not sure if that counts. 2.) Stamina is more than just how long you can run at top speed. How does your mental and emotional stamina measure up? It’s starting to glitch…just like the rest of me so I guess that’s normal. 3.) Out of the five other stats (strength, courage, speed, intelligence, luck), which do you think goes hand-in-hand best with stamina? Definitely luck. How else could I wonder about the jungle and actually be climbing a mountain and not walk off a cliff?

Out of the five other stats (strength, courage, speed, intelligence, luck), which do you think goes hand-in-hand best with stamina? That’s a hard one. I’m torn between speed and intelligence. Being able to run at top speeds is good but in the woods knowing when to dial it back so you don’t faceplant is also helpful.

1.) In what ways do you utilize physical stamina in your day-to-day life? Do you know how physically exhausting it is to raise two children at once who can both fly? One of them can become the size of my hoof at will. I use physical stamina to keep up with them, and keep them from winding up dead.
2.) Stamina is more than just how long you can run at top speed. How does your mental and emotional stamina measure up? Probably not as well. I don't remember the last time I just let my mind wander. Or maybe my stamina is excellent because nothing really gets to me anymore? But...I don't think being too exhausted to have feelings counts as being emotionally...staminous? That can't be a word...
3.) Out of the five other stats (strength, courage, speed, intelligence, luck), which do you think goes hand-in-hand best with stamina? The obvious answer would be strength, but I think it's actually intelligence. You have to be wise to know when to persist and when to give in.
1.) In what ways do you utilize physical stamina in your day-to-day life? In hunting, so in all manner of survival. I will never give in, and so I will always win.

3.) Out of the five other stats (strength, courage, speed, intelligence, luck), which do you think goes hand-in-hand best with stamina? Intelligence. Standing for anything means you won't have the ability to stand for something that matters.

I believe luck has more to do with this than we like to acknowledge. If you are unfortunate enough to be born weak or have weak family, you have very little chance of developing any kind of staying power.
