[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.]

Huh, guess so. What with controllin' the weather and all.

Hey, can you do it here, too?

[action]

[wannabolt.livejournal.com]

I could try, anyway. Depends on how cold it is.

[And if there are, you know, snowflakes in the clouds.]

[action]

[wannabolt.livejournal.com]

Ja... pan? You guys do a lot of cooking there?

[Shh, she's used to very obvious location names.]

Anyway, I'm Rainbow Dash.

[Action]

[wannabolt.livejournal.com]

But you've got wings! Shouldn't that work?

[She's not trying to be rude, honest! Just confused... very confused.]

[action]

[wannabolt.livejournal.com]

Hey, it doesn't matter where I am. I bet I could arrange something.

[In fact, she's tempted to fly up and kick out some clouds right now!]

[action]

[so_shik]

...well I guess so, yeah. We have some pretty decent food there. [Yeah she totally missed what Dash was implying.]

I'm Shiki. Nice to meet you. I think I can take a guess where your name came from.

[perplexme]

It gets pretty cold. You'll see soon enough. It's kind of a bummer when it does snow though...makes it harder on the skateboard.

[action]

[wannabolt.livejournal.com]

It's my mane and cutie mark, huh?

[She isn't too bothered by that.]

Yeah, it's pretty obvious, but hey, it fits. That's what counts.

[action]

[wannabolt.livejournal.com]

Yeah, snow makes for some tough traction. You'd probably have to shovel a whole bunch out of the way to skateboard in winter.

[action]

[so_shik]

So it's called a cutie mark... I was wondering about that.

Definitely what counts. As long as you're happy with it...though why the dash? You're speedy?

[action]

[blackteriques]

Like I said, you could have asked. [But he makes a gesture with one arm.] There's a place near the fountain plaza where you can get some information. Since you're a New Feather.

[She shrugs, flicking one of those aforementioned wings.] Guess I'm just designed that way.

[... It is a pretty frustrating flaw. Though Kazooie would hate it even more if she was realistic. She'd never even get off the ground.]

Though I would like to be able to take off anywhere! It's really annoying having to find a Flight Pad all the time!

[action]

[wannabolt.livejournal.com]

You're sure expecting a lot outta somepony who jut got here.

[Huff. It's not like she knew about the Welcome Center.]

[Action]

[wannabolt.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I can't even imagine what that's like.

[But, of course, Dash loves the freedom of flight.]

But I guess gliding's better than nothing.

[action]

[wannabolt.livejournal.com]

Speedy? Understatement of the century!

[And to demonstrate, she'll do a very fast loop around before landing where she started.

[action]

[so_shik]

Whoa. That's...okay, that's pretty cool.

[action]

[wannabolt.livejournal.com]

And that's not even half of what I can do. You oughta see me when I'm pulling off stunts.

[action]

[so_shik]

I'm always up for a demonstration if you are.

[action]

[blackteriques]

Not really. It's advice. [Why the hell was he bothering, anyway? He just shakes his head as he turns to leave.]

[action]

[wannabolt.livejournal.com]

Then stand back, 'cause I'm about to show you my stuff.

[Startiiiing... now! Yep, she just bolted into the sky and is already doing some crazy loops.]

[action]

[so_shik]

[She's just going to stay on the ground to watch then, though she's clearly impressed.]

Wow. Way to go, Rainbow Dash. [That's one fast pony.]

[action]

[wannabolt.livejournal.com]

[Twirling some clouds around, making others disappear, and she'll dive down to swivel around some trees! Yeah, this is awesome.]

[action]

[so_shik]

[Still just watching in awe. She wishes she could fly :|]

[Action]

[talontrot]

I'll just have to ask the Malnosso to put one in the village somewhere. For the draft thing they were perfectly cool with putting 'em around for me!

[Kazooie seems to think stuff revolves around her, too, so that probably doesn't help.]

[action]

[wannabolt.livejournal.com]

[And now, for her grand finale, she's going to make a huge, rainbow colored whirlwind!

But no worries; she's not gonna suck anything in. It's all for show!]
