Rainbow Dash

[Dash's day starts out just like any other: waking up bright and early, dashing out above the village at hundreds of miles per hour and leaving rainbow streaks in the sky, all while occasionally twirling clouds around, moving them low to the ground just for fun, and practicing skateboarding just for kicks. ...No pun intended.

But around mid afternoon, she swoops down over the farmland only to find an alarming sight: no sign of Applejack. No matter where she looks, that hard working farm pony's nowhere to be seen, and the same goes for her belongings, for that matter.

Dash's heart sinks. She makes a retreat up into the clouds, which is when she finally addresses the journal. For once, this big-eyed, rainbow pony lacks her confident air.]

...Hey, so I don't know how many of you guys know her, but it looks like Applejack's gone back to Equestria, which means all those apples she's been growing have kinda been left unattended. Not to mention the animals and other crops. So, uh. If any of you other farmers could check into that, that'd be totally appreciated. You guys'd probably be way more experienced than me!

[...heh. Heh.

Man, even her phony laughter sounds depressing.]

Guess Luceti's pony population's shrinking again. Even after a year, there's only ever been a handful of us. And I mean, to most of you guys that's probably not a huge deal. But try imagining getting plucked into a world where you're one of, if not the only hue-man... or whatever species you are and surrounded by a majority of some species you've never even heard of before.

I've lucked out because a lot of the hue-mans I've met are generally pretty cool. And sure, it's still crazy dealing with weather, seasons, and... well, everything that happens by itself, but it's not as scary now.

[But... and though she hates to admit it. Showing weakness is not her thing--]

But sometimes, I guess I can't help but get a little homesick. Especially at times like this.

[And with that, she'll push the journal closed with one of her hooves.

For a little while, she'll hang around the farmlands, just wandering around for a bit. Eventually, she'll return to the village and, after a short trip to the bakery to drag home some cupcakes, quietly fly towards house 45. If she spots a familiar face she'll try and greet 'em with her usual spunk. Those that know her well enough, however should be able to tell that something's a little... off.]

[ooc: Feel free to encounter her before or after her announcement! She can be found just about everywhere before she slips over to AJ's and after she'll mostly be around town.]

[It's that time again, Luceti! Time for the cartoonishly proportioned, brightly colored, and talking pegasus to make a speech over the journals. And, given her smug little smirk, she must be pretty eager about it.]

Hey, Luceti! Remember my last entry about my super awesome club for non hue-mans? Well, it's still in the works. I know some of you guys expressed interest before, so I figured I'd get the word out again.

And why? Because the Standout Crowd is totally gonna be coolest group around. So if you're feeling left out or tired of getting stared at for being different, don't sweat it! That's what we're here for.

And right now, I figure we can square some space away in the Battle Dome. I mean, we can make just about anything in there, so why not? The sky's the limit, and if you ask me, that's a good thing.

Soooo... yeah! Thoughts? Questions? And for all you hue-mans out there, don't take it personally. Juuust remember that you guys aren't the only ones hanging around the village and at least try not to freak out about it. Seriously.

[The recording starts with, you guessed it, Rainbow Dash's lovely face as she leans in reeeeeal close to the camera and then sits back. For those who haven't seen her yet, this is a technicolor pony with biiig eyes and a rainbow mane. She also seems to be... in the air somewhere? Huh.]

Soooo, I'm guessing some of you guys haven't seen me yet. I don't know how that's possible when I pull off stunts all the time. Those rainbows that pop up? Totally me.

[She smirks.]

And when clouds randomly swirl around or disappear? Yep, that's me too. Pretty sweet, huh?

[She flies up a little, and the video shows off her whole physique. But bragging about her awesomeness isn't the only reason she's doing this. Naw. After about a minute, she'll scoop up the journal and turn it towards an awesome snow castle. There are a few small snow clouds floating just above it; probably Dash's handywork. The fort itself is probably a bit bigger than in the image, but the structure is more or less the same.]

Just like this castle I built. Best part? It took me... maybe thirty seconds to build. Tops.

[Speed is awesome like that.]

And with that outta the way, what do you hue-mans do for winter, anyway? And anyone else. Got any cool holidays?

[With that, Dash will be hanging around her awesome castle near Community Housing 3. Maybe stomping on a few of those clouds to make some more sculptures, like these guys. Wanna chill with a pony? Go for it!]
