01 - action;;

[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.]

[Dude on skateboard! This is relevant to her interests.

So... she's gonna watch him carefully, but not do anything just yet.]

It's always better to work together, don't you think? We can accomplish a lot more that way!

[Also, it means Pommy can hide his many weaknesses better, narf.]

[notshadowfever.livejournal.com]

You just think I can't skip like a pro! Well, I'll show you! I formally challenge you to a cartwheel vs. skipping contest!

[He points over towards the restaurant a little distance away.] There's the finish line! On your marks...!

[Why did this seem like a good idea again?]

[action - stalkerations]

Still, that barrier's pretty tough. I tried to bust through it a few times at top speed, and it still wouldn't break.

Maybe what we need is a bigger team. Could always ask around!

[She's getting ready...

She's set!

And when it's time to take off, she'll be rolling around at the speed of sound.

Despite being a quadruped, she's pretty good at it. Blame cartoon logic.]

[bemyused]

Yep! There are so many people in Luceti, there's bound to be lots of other people to help!

Wh-What?! What did I do?!

[He's trembling even more now. His nightmares already are coming true. He didn't want to run into more ghosts here!]

[perplexme]

[Skateboarding again...but don't think he's not watching. Because as we know, Roxas is always watching. Always. So when that cloud starts to move again he'll stop and whip around.]

Aha! [...and he's squinting up at that cloud.] Hey! I know you're up there! Maybe...

[action]

[so_shik]

...there are more of you?! [Sorry Dash, everything you just said kinda just got ignored in favor of you're a talking flying pony.]

[recon mission action!]

[folklorist]

Our captors are not exactly the best of people. They, um, don't seem to care very much when it comes to who can and cannot fight.

[action]

[wannabolt.livejournal.com]

[Nope, not gonna say anything yet. You so silly, Roxas.]

[action]

[wannabolt.livejournal.com]

[More of... Aw gee. This is interesting.]

Duh. Where I'm from, there are ponies just about everywhere, and none of you hue-mans around.

[action - stalkerations]

[wannabolt.livejournal.com]

So all we've gotta do is get their attention somehow. How hard can it be?

[action]

[wannabolt.livejournal.com]

[...This is a good question. A very good question. She doesn't even know this guy, so hrm.

...]

You witnessed my greeeeat and terrible poweeeer! No mortal should ever seeee it!

[BANG, BANG, flash. There, that's a good excuse.]

[recon mission action!]

[wannabolt.livejournal.com]

So how come nobody's done anything about 'em?

[action]

[perplexme]

...man, get it together, Roxas. It's a cloud. [Back to skateboarding!]

[recon mission action!]

[folklorist]

They're not exactly...easy to find or reason with I'm afraid. [ He sighs running a hand through his hair. ]

It's difficult to really establish contact with them.

[action]

[so_shik]

You seem to be the only one right now...I think the other ones left. But if you're here, maybe they'll come back.

[blackteriques]

Legendary. [Since those questionable terms have some sort of answer now, he'll just ... go to the term that he can be skeptical about.]

What is it supposed to be?

[notshadowfever.livejournal.com]

[Eggman gets in a ready position for some world-class skipping.] Get set! [He eyes the finish line, places to go, got to win race with Rainbow.]

GO!

[Eggman launches himself into a fine skip, frolicking at top speed towards the goal. He's actually surprisingly athletic with it too, and is even enjoying himself. Skipping is fun!]

[action]

[magicwarding.livejournal.com]

[He practically jumps at the thunder. Why is this happening. WHY.]

I-I didn't mean to! You j-just showed up in the window!

[action]

[wannabolt.livejournal.com]

[Because Rainbow Dash is bored and trolling.

But don't worry, it's almost over.]

I diiiid, and now you will paaaay...

[That cloud slowly slides back into view, as there's another flash of lightning, followed by... a colorful pony popping out and cackling!

Or maybe she's just laughing. Oh, Dash.]

[recon mission action!]

[wannabolt.livejournal.com]

Well, they've gotta be somewhere. Maybe you guys just haven't looked hard enough.

[wannabolt.livejournal.com]

[Pfff. Meanwhile, Dash is wheeling along. It's probably weird to see because she's a pony, but she manages just fine. Very speedy, too!]

It's a mix between a rainbow and a sonic boom. Most ponies think it's an old mare's tale. Or they did, until I pulled it off.
