2: Daring Do and the backdated post to Feb. 4th [BBS/Video/Action if wanted!]

[graynbowdash]

(So that trip to the Island Closest to Heaven sure was something else, wasn't it? Plenty of damn difficult monsters littering the place, but also a bunch of really neat things to find, namely awesome magic. It's been a wreck with so many getting thrashed and whatnot, but at least everyone survived until the end, right?

Speaking of which, there was one in particular who kind of went missing shortly after they arrived. Daring was first scouting the area to see if she could take a few cadets along, but a run-in with an Ochu made things more complicated than they should've been.

It got so complicated, it took up nearly the entire three weeks she was there.

So suddenly, here's your favorite pony instructor on the video feed, looking rather exhausted, but very proud of herself.)

Phew...that took a lot longer than I thought it would. Sorry for disappearing like that, everyone; I got caught up in a slight dilemma, but I think this made it worthwhile...

(The video turns over to one dead Ochu. She chuckles.)

I got me a big one! It put up a hay of a fight, but even one of these guys isn't a match for Daring Do. I need to take at least something from this home as a trophy because there's no way I'm not taking one.

So yeah, I'm not dead. Just making that very clear.

HOW DID YOU DO THAT

[graynbowdash]

Careful planning, a little patience and a lot of help from Siren. It's been a good while since I had to use her help this much, but it was worth it.

[elementofloyalty]

aaaaah that's crazy

those things are crazy

i mean one of those things knocked me into next week

[graynbowdash]

Yeah, that's part of the reason it took three weeks. They pack a punch.

But some of this new magic helped out a ton, that's for sure!

[elementofloyalty]

i swear if you were anypony else i would feel so inadequate right now

[graynbowdash]

I'm glad you don't! Last thing I need is to make anypony feel inferior.

(Even though it tends to happen when her abilities are fictionally good.)

Tell you what: one day, I'll take you out on a mission and teach you a few of my moves.

[elementofloyalty]

once i graduate at the end of this trimester, i'll be kicking flank and taking names.

[graynbowdash]

I'm expecting nothing less from you, Rainbow. You'll make a hay of a SeeD.

[elementofloyalty]

of course i will. never any doubt.

[Casual text completely belies her giddy blushing behind the screen.]

[marearcana]

I don't think anyone actually thought that.

[graynbowdash]

Well great! That means I didn't disappoint anyone. Sure it doesn't count as a surprise return, but living up to expectations is what I do best.

[marearcana]

You could say that...

[She wouldn't particularly be fond of prying into Daring's deep thought processes to see if they matched how she was described, but on the surface yeah, about the same...]

[graynbowdash]

Yeah, that and finding stuff. Did you get any of the paramagic spells here? There's stuff I haven't seen before.
