[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.]

I can do way more than move clouds all day. That's just part of my job.

[She smirks.]

But when it comes to speed and stunts, there's nopony better! They don't call me Rainbow Dash for nothing.

Yeah I noticed the speed part. There aren't too many people who can outrun my broom.

So, Rainbow Dash, huh? Nice to meetcha. I'm Arche Klaine.

[Action: Recon Mission]

[wannabolt.livejournal.com]

People, sure, but I'm a pony.

[And Arche, huh? She can remember that. After all, it's short, sweet, and to the point.]

Sooo, Arche... what are you, anyway? I mean, you can do magic, but you're sure not a unicorn.

[Action: Recon Mission]

[skyborne-mage.livejournal.com]

True. And I've never raced a pony before.

I'm a half-elf. Other half's human. And I know you've never met either of those before.

[Action: Recon Mission]

[wannabolt.livejournal.com]

Nope. Never heard of 'em.

[Though now she wonders if Twilight has. She did know what zebras were, after all.]

[Action: Recon Mission]

[skyborne-mage.livejournal.com]

Most of the people you meet here are gonna be human.

[Action: Recon Mission]

[wannabolt.livejournal.com]

But aren't there any ponies around?

[A world without ponies is... really weird to imagine.]

[Action: Recon Mission]

[skyborne-mage.livejournal.com]

Well, there were, but I think Twilight's been sent home. Sorry.

[Aw, pony feathers. So she missed out on the only other pony in this place?

But on the other hand...]

Wait a minute. How'd she get outta here?

[Action: Recon Mission]

[skyborne-mage.livejournal.com]

Well we don't really know. People just vanish the same way they appear, and none of us know what causes it.

[Action: Recon Mission]

[wannabolt.livejournal.com]

So people just... disappear? How do you know they really leave?

[Because they could've totally been dragged away by something sinister.]

[Action: Recon Mission]

[skyborne-mage.livejournal.com]

Cause sometimes they come back, and they remember Luceti, but they also spent some time back home.

If it weren't for that, I wouldn't believe it.

[Action: Recon Mission]

[wannabolt.livejournal.com]

So even if people do leave, they can still end up back here?

[Geez. This day keeps getting sooo much better.]
