[wannabolt]

[Early in the day, people throughout the village might spot a suspicious rainbow streak jetting upwards into the sky. Higher and higher and higher she flies... Until, suddenly, that rainbow streak is rapidly plummeting down, faster and faster until there's a resounding CRASH!

Oh, was that your house she bumped into? Maybe your garden? Business? Whatever the case, there will be a few of these ridiculous crashes until Rainbow, being the stubborn pegasus that she is, moves onto plan B.

A bit later, something a little strange will appear... a cloud floating around the village. Now, seeing clouds in the sky isn't all that abnormal. Just another part of everyday weather.

But what about clouds that float ridiculously close to rooftops? Clouds that hover suspiciously over buildings, people, and are isolated from the others? Tiny clouds that, if one looks close enough, they may catch a bit of a rainbow fringe, sometimes a pair of binoculars, over the edge of the fluffy white stuff.

That's right. This cloud is spying on you strange people. ...Or whatever's up in the cloud, anyway.

Feel free to witness either event-- Dash's crash landings from the lovely barrier or her recon mission.]

But of course. To squander time, which is by far the most precious thing here, would be a waste~

[No money and all. It's always smart to make a good use of time anyway.]

I'm sure in your time here you'll have plenty of free days in which you can stalk other residents whilst under the guise of a cloud~

[Ego fuel. Ah, glorious ego fuel.]

Yep. You don't get much tougher than this.

['course, it's her speed and skills that she's really proud of.]

[Action]

[wannabolt.livejournal.com]

Oh yeah? Why don't you prove it?

[Oh, she's keeping that record in mind, but this she's gotta see.]

[wannabolt.livejournal.com]

[Well. Manners aren't exactly her strong point, sooo...]

Just what are you?

[wannabolt.livejournal.com]

[... Hmm. Trying to make a game outta this, huh? Well, she's bored enough. Time to steer that cloud so it follows her.]

[wannabolt.livejournal.com]

Are you kidding? I was getting bored up there.

[She briefly glances up to the sky and then flies a bit higher.]

I've got way better things to do, like practice my stunts. Gotta stay in top form if I'm gonna impress the Wonderbolts.

[Action]

[wannabolt.livejournal.com]

So we're all stuck playing the waiting game?

[Wonderful.]

Isn't there any way to prevent them?

[antlioncyclone.livejournal.com]

[man, it talks? okay now that's weird.]

Mewtwo.

[floralphantasm.livejournal.com]

Are you perhaps a daredevil of sorts then? My my, you must be quite courageous. Either that or foolhardy~

[Impress the Wonderbolts? Who? The heck sort of flying pony is this?]

Why would you need to impress these 'Wonderbolts' when you can instead surpass them~? Why settle for a potted plant when you can obtain an entire bed?

[recon mission action!]

[folklorist]

Ah yes something like that. There's many different families and types in my world. [ Just a smile and nod from him. ]

There's actually one here. Though they look more like a unicorn than a dragon tiger.

[mistlegacy]

Believe me, I wish there was. However, we haven't yet found out how that's possible. The best we can hope for is that we're not affected, or that the experiment itself is mild.

[Upon reaching the Welcome Center, Rydia holds open the door for her guest. The area inside is homey and comfortable, with overstuffed chairs and sofas. There's a (currently unused) fireplace, and potted plants line the windowsills. On the walls are several maps, showing the town as well as the area surrounding it.]

After you.

[sea-king-bait.livejournal.com]

Definitely. Doing tricks is the hardest part about going so fast. I try every once in a while, in the water.

[action - stalkerations]

[bemyused]

[Pommy hops and laughs at that.]

Lilith isn't shy or anything like that, but when she got mad even Bomberman was scared of her, myu! [And when a guy called "Bomberman" is scared of someone...]

[action]

[blackteriques]

[Equestria? Pegasus? Sonic Rainboom?

He crosses his arms even as they continue in their descent.]

Never heard of it. ["It" being left completely unnamed.]

[Rainbow talking ponies.]

Anybody, you mean.

[Correction time.]

[magiconcehad.livejournal.com]

[... okay so the cloud followed her once. Let's take a few steps to the left now. Still staring straight up at that cloud.]

[Action]

[talontrot]

I'll do more than prove it!

[And Kazooie leaps off the rooftop, splaying her wings and Gliding along. Dash's clouds aren't the only clouds around, and though Kazooie can't get to the higher clouds without outright Flying, she's close enough to be able to hit a lower one.

... Which she's going to pseudo-Beak Bomb - not quite a real Beak Bomb, because it doesn't have the weight of anybody behind it, but it is enough to take out a noticeable chunk of cloud... cloudiness.]

Ha! [Yes, Kazooie, your ability to disperse water and ice crystals with your face is beyond compare.]

[recon mission action!]

[wannabolt.livejournal.com]

So they're like a pony.

[This is relevant to her interests.]

I guess I'll keep my eyes peeled.

[After all, if there's another pony around, at least that's something familiar.]

[action]

[wannabolt.livejournal.com]

No, I mean anypony.

[Said with a totally straight face.]

[Action]

[wannabolt.livejournal.com]

Great.

[Just what she needed to hear-- but! At least the Welcome Center is a good distraction. She'll slip on inside and take a look around.

Huh. It doesn't look so bad.]

[wannabolt.livejournal.com]

[Surpass them? Well, she could, but that's not what she wants.

It's not like there's a rivalry between them... So, she shakes her head.]

I want to impress them so I can join their team. The Wonderbolts are my lifelong heroes. Even if I could do better, I want to fly with them, not against them.

[action - stalkerations]

[wannabolt.livejournal.com]

Bomberman?

[Must like bombs or something.]

He a friend of yours?

[Action]

[wannabolt.livejournal.com]

Yeah, if you don't practice, it's easy to crash and burn. At least in the sky.

I haven't tried tricks in the water.

[Though it does sound interesting!]

[action]

[wannabolt.livejournal.com]

Which part?

[Then again, maybe he doesn't know any of it. He didn't know what ponies were, after all...]

[Action]

[wannabolt.livejournal.com]

[...well, she actually did it. Sorta. Dash still won't admit it, though!]

So you took out a chunk. That's nothing!

[Dash is gonna totally use her wings to her advantage and swoop up to kick another cloud out completely. Aw yeah.

And once that's done, she'll land on one of the rooftops.]
