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.]

[Equestria? Pegasus? Sonic Rainboom?

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


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

Which part?

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

[Well, she's at least shrewd enough to ask that.]

All of it. But it sounds like a place, a thing, and a stunt.

Yep. I'm from Equestria, I'm a pegasus pony, and a Sonic Rainboom is more than just a stunt. It's legendary!

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?

[identity profile] wannabolt.livejournal.com 2011-09-16 02:30 am (UTC)(link)
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.

A rainbow and a sonic boom? [What?] A sonic boom that looks like a rainbow?

[They're getting really close to the ground now, fortunately; the ground should be visible through the bubble.]

[action]

[identity profile] wannabolt.livejournal.com 2011-09-19 01:38 am (UTC)(link)
Something like that! And it's tough to pull off; that's why it's so legendary.

[She knows from experience.

But with the ground in view, she'll heave a sigh of relief. Better that than falling and crashing painfully. Guh.]
blackteriques: (Looking elsewhere)

[personal profile] blackteriques 2011-09-20 07:12 am (UTC)(link)
And you somehow pulled it off. I see. [He might have been impressed if he actually understood the big deal about it.

He carefully stands up as they finally reach the ground, brushing at his clothes as the bubble disappears in a sparkle of black and purple light.]
I would warn you against trying something like that again.

[action]

[identity profile] wannabolt.livejournal.com 2011-09-21 03:21 am (UTC)(link)
Pulled it off twice, and I could totally do it again.

[Ah, freedom at last! That bubble might've been safe, but it's totally not her style.

And as soon as it's gone, she'll be lifting herself a few feet off the ground and just sorta hovering.]


Hey, it's not like I knew I'd crash. Besides, I always take risks.

Everyone takes risks eventually. But it doesn't hurt to ask questions once in awhile.

[action]

[identity profile] wannabolt.livejournal.com 2011-09-24 05:39 pm (UTC)(link)
I guess so, but I usually act first and ask questions later.

[What's he supposed to do, say that he does the same thing?]

So do I, but something like that could have been avoided. [It wasn't like it was the most obvious thing to do, flying straight up and into the barrier.]

[action]

[identity profile] wannabolt.livejournal.com 2011-09-25 02:07 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah, maybe if that barrier was purple with green spots, but the sky usually doesn't have invisible walls.
blackteriques: (Speechless)

[personal profile] blackteriques 2011-09-25 11:28 pm (UTC)(link)
So it's usual for you to go flying that fast through unknown spaces without taking in your surroundings. [Not impressed.]

[action]

[identity profile] wannabolt.livejournal.com 2011-09-26 03:28 am (UTC)(link)
Hey, I keep my eyes peeled. But how was I supposed to know there'd be something like that barrier around? The skies in Ponyville are way different.

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.

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

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

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