Not the Best Young Flyer for Nothing [bbs&action]

hey everyone

big big awesome flying demonstration outside today at noon

be there or you'll kick yourself for missing it all the rest of your days


[ACTION!]

[The skies over Dollet are blue, save for several clusters of clouds that Rainbow had quite deliberately left behind when she'd snuck out earlier this morning to clear them out and set the weather. Beyond that, it's a gorgeous day.]

[She'd also set up a sign that told people where to stand to watch the demonstration. All these buildings made it a tricky prospect, but she'd counted for them when she worked this up.]

[As the sun reaches its zenith and the hour of noon comes upon them, there's no sign of the demonstration though. From behind a building, Rainbow's been watching the crowd gather with excited glee. She gives it a minute to build suspense, then takes off--]

[The first the audience sees of her is a rainbow streak slashing through the skies above them like a comet, air roaring as it races over her body and through the feathers of her wings. Rainbow drops into a plunge, diving down to the street below and ahead of the audience area at a speed that surely is going to flatten her on the pavement -- but it doesn't. She pulls out of the dive at the last second and into the Super-Speed Strut, racing along the ground with a casual smile as if she's just out for a stroll in the park. Only her beating wings and the thunder of air betray the effort she's putting out as she rockets straight through the crowd, then blasts back into the air with such force that the road actually cracks beneath her from where she lifts off.]

[Into the sky again, and this time headed for the largest of the clouds, which she races around with rainbow contrail behind, quick hoofwork and air pressure sculpting and shaping it until it resembles a fearsome dragon, jaws dropped and wings spread, ready to pounce. Rainbow ducks behind it and whacks it with her forehooves, sending it shooting at the other cluster of clouds she'd left behind. Then she races past it, whirling around the second cloud until it resembles a pony, legs thrust back in the middle of a powerful kick -- and a second later, the dragon-cloud slams face-first into those raised rear hooves and dissipates.]

[She draws herself up proudly, savoring the moment, then descends again, weaving and turning just to show off her casual moves. Give the audience a breather, let them build up some anticipation, because compared to what's coming, most of them can only imagine...]

[Again, Rainbow pulls out of her dive, this time swooping over the cloud, forelegs extended and wings laboring as she races off down the street, accelerating with all her might as she reaches the edge of town. Just over the ocean, she pulls up sharply, then pours on the speed as she rockets towards the sky--]

[With an immense rumbling boom, brilliant, shining waves of rainbow light burst out from her, rolling over Dollet in a glorious display of color. In its wake, the pony flies a great arc over the town in no time at all. It might be high noon, and a near-cloudless sky on a beautiful day, but Dollet now has a shining, glittering rainbow arching through the skies above it.]

[From the minute Twilight saw that BBS post, she knew that this was a terrible idea.

Flaunting herself like this might win her a few fans, but there would be far too much danger to her.

Not thinking that that last part would be true for herself, too, she'd tried to find Rainbow Dash before the performance.

Naturally, she was too late. Twilight stops just outside the city, staring at the sky, hoping that maybe Rainbow'd get out of this without too much trouble...]

That may be true, but do you realize how much danger you just put yourself in?!

[personal profile] marearcana 2012-06-16 08:03 pm (UTC)(link)
You could have been attacked!! Don't you know how distrusting the people of this world are of us?

[personal profile] marearcana 2012-06-16 09:09 pm (UTC)(link)
Well, you have a point there. But don't you think that someone might just be paranoid enough to think it's a front?
marearcana: (Loyal Lecture)

[personal profile] marearcana 2012-06-16 10:35 pm (UTC)(link)
They don't know that!
marearcana: (Reviling Reaction)

[personal profile] marearcana 2012-06-16 11:03 pm (UTC)(link)
Well, no.

But for them, it looks impossible. They don't know whether or not you'll use that against them.

Of course, I know you won't, but that's beside the point.

[personal profile] marearcana 2012-06-16 11:07 pm (UTC)(link)
But at that kind of speed, anything you crash into is going to sustain serious damage.

I'm saying that you still might want to be more careful. While you may still be able to control the weather, it can and will do things you don't want it to, which could cause you to lose control.

[personal profile] marearcana 2012-06-18 11:53 pm (UTC)(link)
No. All things considered, you did pick a day that would be fairly conducive to your success, from the look of it. I still think this was a bad idea, but what actually comes of it remains to be seen, so it's too early to tell.

You know I can't do that.

Well, I've actually seen you better.

[personal profile] marearcana 2012-06-20 12:03 am (UTC)(link)
Ah, that makes sense.

Well, it would if there were likely to be a next time. I don't imagine the administration will approve of this.

Which remains to be seen, Rainbow. Hopefully, though, things will work out.

I'm going back to Garden now. See you later.
