Justin raised a hoof.  "Waitasec, Ramza, I don't think you want to-"

And that's when the cauldron fell to pieces.

"ARGH!  No!  He was giving us important information!  What did that guy say, something about us having a 'key' and a 'beacon,' or was that 'beckon?'  Kinda hard to understand through the accent...but, who has the key?  And he called us 'dimensional tourists' too, though it's not like we chose to come here...augh, Ramza!"  Justin stamped his hoof in frustration; his experience with villains in the past made him feel the loss of a chance to sneak information out of the antagonist keenly.  "Next time, no smashing bad guy equipment unless it's attacking us!  We could have milked him for more information."

"What in all of Equestria is going on here?"

Justin, as well as many of the other ponies, turned to a pair of approaching ponies.  One of them wore glasses on her nose and had gray hair and a khaki coat, while the other was a unicorn pony largely purple but with a pink streak in her hair.

"Oh, Mayor!" cried out Mrs. Cake as she and Mr. Cake stepped forward.  "It was terrible!  That cauldron that we specially ordered for the preparations for the High Summer Festival, it...I'm not sure how to explain this, exactly, but it..."  She burst out crying and leaned her head against the Mayor's shoulder, who tried to comfort her with a hoof.

"Twilight, didja see all the flying cupcakes?" asked Pinkie Pie as she hopped over to the purple unicorn.  "Then these guys showed up and helped the Cakes out!  I've never seen so many new ponies all at once - we gotta have a welcome party!"

"Well, at least it looks like nopony is seriously hurt," commented Twilight as she glanced around at the group.  "Although, I think they'll want to clean up first, and then we can get to the bottom of what happened here.  And we'd better get that seapony to a bigger bathtub!  What about the damage to the shop?"

"We can get somepony to fix it," said Mr. Cake, staying calm for his wife's sake, though he was clearly shaken.  "It'll be fixed lickety-split - we're just glad everypony's okay, and that cauldron is gone."

"I'm Twilight Sparkle, and this is the Mayor of this town of Ponyville," introduced Twilight as she approached the party.  "And you are?"

"Call me Justin," replied Justin, not entirely sure yet why this "Twilight Sparkle" seemed to be important somehow, yet didn't seem to carry a title like the Mayor.

A puzzled expression crept across the pony’s features at Leraku's seemingly easy question.

“Ya know... Niether can I.” She muttered thoughtfully, appearing distracted for a moment as though her mind had just found an important memo.

“Tell you what. When I find out, you’ll be the first to know, kay?”

Breifly the chirpiness returned before being swept away by a calculating look “Actualy, you’d be the second one to know, ‘cause I’ll have to know first in order to tell you.” And once again the contented smile appeared.

“Yep that works. Come on back inside, it looks like more people have arrived and they’ll probably want to meet you too!”

Leraku walked along slowly, trying to get his feet to actually be capable of balancing again. After a few moments, he walked back in with the pegasus. He looked around, and felt somewhat crowded, as he was so small and yet there was a crowd of quadrupeds... He looked at Twilight and the mayor. "I'm Leraku. Most of us seem to be having some trouble... we were somewhere else, and looked... different, and now we're here and look like we do now. I'm pretty sure i was the first one here... Justin over there, though, he was the second. Most of us are trying to figure out what's going on. As far as i know, something was going nutty in the bakery, involving a cauldron as it seems... i kind of... uh... passed out and then got smashed hard by some chunks of stone." He motions to the cloth wrapped around his head. Part of it was a little red. "As for why and how we are here... none of us know." Leraku pondered for a few moments, then looked back at Twilight...

(OOC: Heehee...Reni's still a walking pastry-rack XP @ all the stuff stuck to her quills)

IC: As the dust and flour embers settled, Serenity walked over to the previously-flying bathtub that had almost creamed--I mean flattened--her, peering inside.  Why would a bathtub turn projectile like that? She thought absently.

TBC

(Let's not forget Crim! XP)

Crim peek curiously out from under his shower curtain, to be greeted by the horsey face of Serenity.

The horsey, pastry covered face of serenity.

Screw chaos, screw explosions, screw sudden species change and even, screw inturruptions to his sacred bath time. There was pie, and all was well. Possibly not so well for Reni, who was treated to a rather large lick to the face.

Kairus looked down.  A dish had rolled all the way from the explosion and was spinning to the ground by his hoof.  What was weirder was what was attached to it.  "Oooooh bavarian cream puff!"
The five second rule still in effect, Kairus swiftly claimed the loose pastry for his own.  Then he looked up and saw a trail of pastries and a smoldering building.  "Definetly a point of interest."  Licking custard from his lips, he proceeded onward.

(OOC: ACK! How could I have not noticed the three whole posts before my last one? O_o; Oh well...not that anything contradictory happened or anything...but I JUST noticed that XD; Also...must...resist...putting my actual pony fanchar in here...)

Mobius could be seen approaching the group - a little dizzy and somewhat confused, but otherwise fine...his impromptu mini-battle with a kitchen implement had given him one heck of a headache though, and he sat down for a moment to just shake off the small dizzy spell.

" Ugh - the next time I decide to try flying blind...ground me, PLEASE. That was NOT quite what I had in mind when I volunteered! "

              Ramza stepped forward from the ruined cauldron and bowed slightly. "My apologies for the raucous scene. My name is Ramza I am a Foundation Hunter... for all that that matters right now as... I seem to have turned into a small horse." he quipped, looking down at himself, "Although, if you don't mind, I have a question."

              "Um... Ok? Go ahead." confirmed Twilight Sparkle.

              "Why does everyone here replace parts of words like 'everyone' with 'everypony' and the like?" he asked honestly. There was no joke in his tone.

              Justin responded with a facehoove. "Out of all the things you could ask about... You question their terminology?"

Twilight seemed a little confused at Ramza’s question “Errr because-”

“Oh never mind that! This is a disaster, A Desaster!” Interjected the Mayor with all the theatrics of a Shakespearian recitalist, “The High summer festival starts at first light Tomorow! There’s pastrys and cakes spread all over town, half the decorations are ruined or covered in icing. The gala area in the park was peppered by a hail of toffee bonbon’s, the game stalls are an utter shambles! Not to mention that the only shop capable of making enough food for the day has been utterly destroyed! Oh of all the days on which this could have happened.”

The unnamed Pegasus tilted her head at the mare “I wonder, is there ever a ‘convenient time’ for a mechanical spider Calderon to start taking over people’s brains with bug spoons?”

“Pincess Celestia herself is supposed to be starting the feast at midday tomorrow!” Continued the mare, shooting the filly a glance, “We’re going to need everypony’s help to get everything cleared up and ready on time.”

“What I think the mayor is trying to say,” Twilight said stepping forwards once again, “Is that we know you’ve already done a lot, but we could really use your help to clean up too.”

A clang caused everypony to almost leap out of their pelts. They looked towards the source to see Mr Cake dragging a pot belly stove out of a back room. “Mayor I think we can probably salvage a lot here anyway.” He said with renewed confidence “There’s already a room full of food back there, and anything we don’t have yet we can cook outside on the potbelly’s.”

The mayor seemed to relax slightly “Well some good news at last.” She turned her cream coloured face back to the unnamed Pegasus “You there, we’ll need Ms Dash to start clearing the smoke clouds and remove anything that has gotten lodged on roof tops. Would you be a dear and fly off to get her?"

Taken aback the girl looked about frantically “Umm, fly?” she asked tentatively.

“Rainbow Dash is usually hanging around in the clouds around the lake at this sort of time,” explained Twilight “We’ll need a Pegasus pony to go and get her.”

“b-But...” the filly stammered “I-I really don’t think. I mean, I not too good at-”

“Oh I appreciate that there aren’t many of you who can catch up to Dash, especially if she’s in a competitive mood. But really; she’ll probably be asleep.” Reassured the unicorn, adding quietly to herself "Would certainly explain why she hasn't noticed all this going on."

“No, I mean I can't..." Pawing at the ground nervously, the filly looked around at her back and twiddled her wings as though only just remembering they were there. "Ahh. Umm, okay I know I have wings an’ all but I really can’t fly. At least, I don’t think I can, I haven’t tried before!”

" Relax, Everypony...I've got this. "

Mobius approached the gathering, and then looks at the mayor - spreading his wings with a smirk, giving a small nod of agreement...hell, if it was gonna make the situation better, then he was all for this little errand - and it was quite clear that he was probably one of only a couple of them who were able to pull this little flying mission off easily. Realistically, there really wasn't much choice at this juncture...

" Sure, I'll go " Mobius said as he slowly flapped his winged appendages and took to the air a little...looping in the air quite naturally for somebody who'd literally only had them a day. " I'll fetch this l'il Rainbow Dash of yours - I could use the excercise, anyway! "

His head still hurt a little from his earlier crash, but it wasn't enough to deter him from taking this little mission on!

Leraku quietly scratched his chin, not sure whether to go with Mobius to make sure he would be safe, or to stick with the group. "Huh... who to go with..." He sighed. "Uhhm... Man. I feel so small now that everyone here is bigger than me." A purple dragon who was sitting on Twilight's back just now seems to have noticed Leraku. "Whoa! Hey! Someone my size!" said the dragon, as he hopped off and walked towards Leraku. Leraku got into a defensive stance and stepped back. "Whoa whoa, don't hurt me!" The dragon blinked and stared at Leraku. "What are you talking about? I'm just glad to finally see someone my size around here. Besides, you're not a pony or a dragon... what are you?" "Uh... well, that's kind of hard to explain..." He quietly stood up and folded his arms, not sure what to do...

(OOC: bleh....this may not be the best RP to be posting in while sick and not wanting to deal with even the thought of food...but...)

IC:

Serenity recoiled somewhat at having her face abruptly licked. "Euaugh! Do you mind?

TBC.

(OOC: Sorry...all I got. *shrug*)

Finally, he got to the source of the commotion. Ponies were beginning to clean up things on the ground. [A whole town of ponies...well, makes about as much as sense as anything!]
He looked; that building l;ooked fairly good considering the blast.

"Oh my, so this is the cause of all the excitement. I wonder if everyone's OK..."

Kairus nearly leapt. That pony had come out of NOWHERE. Pastel yellow with a pink mane, with a butterfly mark.

Kairus focused. He was trying something he used to use to ferret out people in hiding, used now to hopefully check on life inside. This time, it made a tiny marshmallow chicken appear in front of him. He looked around, feeling mildly embarassed. Then, he ate the marshmallow chicken.

"Right! Making sure everyone's OK!" [Manually...]

He walked forward, slowly. Poking his head into a blown-open window he opened his mouth.

"Hey, is everyone all right in..." He stopped, spotting the orange-and blue pony with the sunglasses mark. [Wait...I know this one...]

“Yeah, everything’s a bit messy but I think we’re good.” said the filly, answering the newcomers question while looking up at Mobius with a hint of envy. She turned back to Twilight and grinned “Just what is this ‘High summer’ festival anyway? Maybe there’s something else I can do to help?”

“Ah, so you can’t fly and don’t even know about the festival? Gosh you really aren’t from around here are you?” Twilight commented, surveying the gathering crowd “Well, the High summer festival is when Summer time officially begins, and we have a fare to calibrate. But if we’re going to get everything cleared up we’ll need every pony’s help. So,” She turned to the hovering Mobius “If you can head to the big lake north of here and bring back Rainbow dash that’d be great. And if anypony wants to lend a hoof, tell me what talents you have and I’ll direct you somewhere appropriate.”

Dynamism replenished by Twilight’s reassurance, the Pegasus clopped happily “Well, I’m not sure what I’m good at, but I really like running!”

“Okay! How about being a mesinger? We’ll need to get ponies organised for the cleanup, and I can’t be everywhere at once. Anypony else?”

Leraku mutters and facepalms. "Hey! I'm not a pony! You can stop saying tha- ah, nevermind, it'll do no good. I'll try and do messages... if i can get this magic flight down." He adjusts his messenger bag and folds his arms. "It's strange that people somehow don't care that a non-pony and non-dragon is in their midst, considering those seem to be the only two sentient races so far."

Mobius nodded, smirking a little as he felt the breeze flowing over and around his wings as he made his way in the direction given - truth be told, there was a slight feeling of nervousness in the ex-eagle's stomach...he'd never used actual winged flight before, having been more of a plane pilot for so much of his life, but the feeling of this was just sublime. He soared in the air, doing a couple of loops and barrel rolls before finally fading out of sight of the group and making his way to the location where, according to the others, one Rainbow Dash would be...

He wasn't sure what kind of a pony he was about to encounter, but he was going to try his best to work on getting her back to the town!

Justin stepped forward. "I could do just about anything, but it'll take us forever to clean up this mess by hand...I mean, hoof. Aren't there any tools or machines we could use to help speed things up a little?"

Twilight nodded. "Well, there are some baskets, but what you're thinking of might be the plows that we use for the Winter Wrap-Up. Those take strong ponies to run, but it would help make things go faster. How about you go talk to Applejack at the orchards? She'll be able to help you get those out so you can use them."

"Excellent." Justin looked after where Mobius had went, and sighed a little. "I'm a little worried about us all splitting up, though - mostly because it sounds like this isn't going to be the last of the craziness that's going to happen here. And we still have to figure out what the 'key' and 'beacon' are..."

A brief explanation later left Twilight nodding. "I could look that up in the library - though I'll need some extra hooves and eyes to make the search go more quickly. But you should head over to Applejack's farm, and perhaps you should take someone else with you."

Justin turned to the others. "Okay, guys, so who wants to come with me to the farm? It'll probably be heavy work though, so I'll need the strongest ponies we've got."

Meanwhile, Spike shrugged to Leraku. "Eh, it's just an expression," Spike explained. "The pony thing I mean. You sure you want to be a messenger? Maybe we could work together on the cleanup - after all, we can leave the running around to the four-leggers." He picked up an errant blueberry muffin, dusted it off, set it on fire, then gobbled it down. "Besides, means more for us!"

"Oh. Oh my."

Leraku turned to see a pink-maned pegasus pony standing nearby, looking at him with curiosity. "Oh, excuse me," she said timidly, "but I couldn't help but wonder, I've never seen anyone like you before."

Twilight rolled her eyes, though it was in a knowing manner rather than in exasperation. "Always with the animals, Fluttershy. Maybe you can get to know him better during the cleanup."
-------
Rainbow Dash yawned as she lounged on a cloud over the lake. "Nothing like a midday nap," she said contentedly. "Let's see, what should I do next - I need to work on my routines for the High Summer Festival tomorrow. It'd be easier if I had someone to practice with, though. Fluttershy?...naw."

Kairus dug at the ground, a tad embarrassed. "I can....make marshmallow chickens appear. And..." [Let's see here...] He focused as one of the shutters waved as Mobius took off. The metal-looking horn on his head began to glow with a bluish-white light which also enveloped the shutter. Noting a loose screw, he tightened his focus, tightening the screw into place. "That too." [At least one thing still works right.] "You mentioned research? Where I'm from I used to go over a tome or two. I might be of assistance there."

The trip was fairly uneventful - Mobius had honestly not had this much fun doing flying on such a more personal level in a long while, and it was an interestingly odd sensation to be flying as a pony, of all creatures...as a matter of fact, it was just such an odd sight, seeing so many hard working ponies of different types working down below. Mobius was impressed as he flew, spotting a large apple orchard in the distance - there was no way that wasn't a hard job to keep tended, and Mobius guessed that the ponies responsible for such a sight were probably the hard working farmer types.

He made it to the pond, looking around in the air a moment as he tried to find the cloud that this Rainbow Dash was hiding on...bearing in mind not to crash head-first into a mail delivery Pony who had darted into his path. For a second it seemed as though her eyes were somehow off, but he honestly hadn't had enough time to be able to tell for sure...she had vanished as quickly as she had appeared.

He stopped mid-air, looking onto a cloud that was some few moments away from him - there was a pony there apparently lazing...and she looked pretty 'rainbowy' enough to be the pony in question. The pegasus smirked and flew in to get a closer look...allowing himself to land on the cloud near the pony and dusting himself off with a coy grin. " Well, if I'm not mistaken...you must be Rainbow Dash - Just the pony I was hoping to bump into! "

Fluttershy - Brought to you by Mobius Springheart!

The black and gray pony stepped forward, standing proudly, strangely feeling great after having smashed the cauldron. "Hmm. Well, lets see if this works here." started the pony. He focused slightly, feeling an unfamiliar energy build up around him. A slight wind began to blow, chilling the air. And before he knew it... he had created a small rain cloud over his head that was steadily pouring rain atop him. His mood sunk, an exasperated look coming across his face. "That wasn't supposed to happen..." he sighed. He then noticed the odd stare that he was getting from the native ponies. Had he done something wrong? "What?"

(OOC: Still here...still blocked)

I don't mean so much alternate paths as much as just the straight pathways are pretty much constant boost panels and rails, like every other 3D Sonic. Which, y'know, isn't fun.

This video shows the diversity Modern Sonic's playstyle can have.

It has you constantly dodging things and making sure you stay on your toes. You can't just press the "Boost" button and up then go through the level with your eyes closed or you'd die in the first 5 seconds of the video. While there are some boost/rail-heavy sections they're meant to more show off the level or just let players enjoy how fast they're going. But that stage isn't just running, boosts and rails.

And even if most levels (I'm not saying they are, but I don't have the time to sift through videos to come to a conclusion since I have to go somewhere soon...) aren't like that, hopefully Sonic Team has been listening to the complaints of the fans who aren't enjoying the levels and will try to address the issues they have... since I imagine most people who don't enjoy the Modern playstyle are the older fans and this game's meant to bring the new and old fans together.

oc: With home crisis somewhat averted (yay for drugs and the mental health act), I've found a little time during report writing and lino carving. I'll be writing up a few posts starting the my little pony gm and then kazy's Search for nothing rp ^_^

“Did he? I mean, aren’t you?” mayor stopped mid query, eyes moved from the cloud to the colt beneath, unable to quite comprehend what she had just seen.

Even spike seemed entranced by the miniature thunderstorm now gradually dispersing into wisps of vapour. Cautiously he sidled over to the unicorn he had come with “Err Twi? Did that earth pony just use magic?”

Ramza barely had time to blink before Twilight was suddenly fussing around him. “Are you hiding something?” She push his hair mane aside, ruffled between his ears even checked the pony’s mouth as if the misplaced horn might have been growing downwards “But that’s impossible! Only unicorn ponies can use magic, an earth pony using it makes about as much sense as pinky-pie’s twitchy predictions!”

“Positive residual dichotomy as predicted by the Yang-Mills covariant.”

Heads swivelled to the unnamed Pegasus whom had retrieved a broom and was humming her way across the shop floor.

“What’s that supposed to mean?” said Mrs Cake, staring out from behind a pile of pans she was moving.

“Ummm, not sure.” Came the reply, “but I think it means that; while his body knows what he is, his head hasn’t caught up yet.” The filly tapped the side of her noggin and then went back to sweeping “So he can do magic because he doesn’t know any better. There’s something very cathartic about cleaning up, isn’t there!”

Twilight squinted in further confusion. Something was weird about this one too. As a scholar, the young unicorn had a trained herself to absorb and efficiently memorise facts from many thousands of books. This had in turn made her memory virtually Eidetic when it came to tiny details that others would overlook. She could swear the Pegasus’s cutie mark had changed. When she’d entered the ruined shop the filly’s flank had boasted three cherry flowers on a branch, now it was a single blossom with three petals being blown away the wind.

“Well that makes about as much sense as anything has so far today.” She turned back to Ramza “If you think you can do that trick again, try it over a few of the buildings to clear the rooftops. A down pour should sweep away the cakes from the gutters without soaking the ground.”

“So that’s Mobius and Ranbow-dash on smoke clearing. Serenity, can you go with Justin and help Apple jack with the carts? Kairus and Leraku if you can stay here and help the Cakes’ get the shop back up and running. And Kayla and, Martin was it? Well if you two can help out with cleaning up the mess in the town that’d be great.”
She glanced back to the Pegasus again “Every pony in town will be trying to fix there own problems, but that could endup with them all working at cross purposes. So I’ll need you to find out what people are doing and tell me so that I can send you back with instructions for them. We’ll have this place ready again in no time! By the way, you haven’t told us your name yet either, what should we call you?”

“Whatever you want I suppose.” Said the Pegasus cheerfully, “No one’s told me it yet either. But as soon as I find out you’ll be the first to know.” The look of all third grade mathematicians dawned on the pony’s face “Oh! Wait, no you’ll be the third to know, cus’ I’ll have to know first, and I said I’d let Leraku know afterwards.”

There was a sudden explotion of sound from Pinky’pie “Ohmygosh! You know what this means?”

“I’m afraid to ask,” sighed the unicorn.

“She needs a NAMING PARTY!”

Twilight stifled an almost-laugh “Oh Pinky, I’m sure she just has amnesia or something.”

“Amnisa-what now?” Pinky squeeked, looking at her friend as though the unicorn had sprouted a potted plant on her head.

Across the room the girl looked thoughtful, “Is that like when you can’t remember much and you feeling like you’ve only just woken up?”

“Possibly, but we can always look into that later.”

oc: Is that okay? I've tried to devide the team in a way that keeps at least two players together at all times but if its not what you had in mind, have your chracter speak now or forever hold their piece.

(Sounds good to me. But i still want at least Fluttershy and maybe spike with me... lawl.)
Leraku looked at Kairus then back to twilight. "Uh... right then. I'll just... clean up... then." He walked off towards the rubble and began righting up large materials, setting nthings back on racks, and putting things that were just rubble, couldn't be repaired, off to the side. He looked up at Fluttershy. "So you wanted to know about me?" "Oh, yes... well, you seem to be different than all of the other little creatures around here... because Spike is the only one i know besides you that talks. Well, then again there were those big diamond dogs... but, I don't think they really count as... little." "I'd ask what you were talking about but i'm guessing it's a long story. But yeah, I guess I am different. After all, i am a green lemur. I'm not sure how many of those you see." "Oh, a lemur? i think i've heard of those. I've never seen one yet... But now i have." "Well, enjoy then. I'm guessing i'm not going back anytime soon so... there should be plenty of time."
"Allright. Oh, you might want to watch out for that - " *SMACK* " - "Rake right in front of you... I'm not sure why they had a rake out here anyways. I suppose it's for the fall raking later on and they just keep it around for supplies." "oh, thatshs shounsh shmarrt... i shink i'm going to jusht... shmrghlfrgh..." Leraku collapsed onto the ground for a few moments. He sat up and shook his head. "WhooOooo. Everyone tasted fuschia for a minute there." "Tasted - ?" "Nothing, nevermind. So, you seem to like animals?" "Oh yes... i take care of the creatures around Ponyville here." " Should have expected as much... Oh, that's nice. Well, i think we're about done with this bit right here... Hey spike - ...What are you doing?" Spike was standing there breathing on a marshmallow with his fire breath. He then proceeded to eat it, chewing. "Ohf, I justh thoughtf uff doing thish. Itsh rearry coow!" "...You have fun with that. I'm going to step -over here- and work on something so i don't get caught in your range of breath." Leraku then proceeded to move on, cleaning up on another side of the cake building...

Having licked the remenants of the pie from a bewildered Reni's face, CrimFins shrugged and lay back in his bathtub. "Do I mind? Not really. I'm far, far too confused right now to mind anything.

"But hey, my life so far has been a string of nonsensical gibberish so this is pretty par for the course. Looks like everybody else is off trying to help out here and there though. I mean I'd join in but I sort of have no legs at the moment." He scratched his muzzle with a loofah. "So, I guess it's quality time for me and my rubber duckie."

IC:

Serenity sweatdrop'd, mumbling, "That's...not what I meant...Nevermind..." She looked up as her name was mentioned. She flattened her ears momentarily at being told what to do, but then decided it wasn't worth the effort of protesting. "Whatever. Sure. I guess." She still felt like a fish out of water in this crazy world - she glanced momentarily back at the one who fit that description better and said, "Uh...sorry, gotta go." and turned back to the task at hand. 'So can we get this show on the road?" somewhat relieved that she wouldn't have to put up with having her face cleaned by wet seapony tounges anymore.

TBC

(OOC: Sorry to leave you in the lurch, Crim...but Reni has a mission now. XP)

(OOC: X3 Don't worry, being left in the lurch is what he's there for =V)

"Sure" The seapony shrugged, pulling a packet of candied cigarettes out of his floatation ring, and chewing on it amiably "...didn't these used to be... ah whatever, have fun!"

Kairus focused. He wasn't sure how people knew his name...maybe Justin had said something....then again, with his appearance so drastically altered, that theory didn't make sense, either. Then again, being a pony didn't make sense. Many things were not making sense. Loosened wooden rafters began to glow and slot back into place. A broom and dustpan appeared in front of him, and as he focused part of his mind on one task at hand, he grabbed the broom with his teeth, held the dustpan down with one hoof and began sweeping up debris. As he swept and made sure the building was ship-shape again, he pondered. He guessed maybe something about a pony with a green skull on the flank may have put off the purple one from taking him up on his offer for research help. "Ah well," he sighed as he picked up the dustpan, dropping its contents into a garbage can.

(THIS IS A MEANINGLESS POST, SO THIS SHALL NOT DIE)

OOC: Sorry, I'm still in this for the long haul, but I've been busy. I'll put up an IC when I can.

(OOC: Also still in this...but still nothing to post Also...XD Leraku's new creeperface av...XD;)

Mobius found himself being eyed by the rainbow-haired female pony, which led him to stumbling back on himself only slightly as she simply raised an eyebrow and shook herself off, flapping her wings once lazily as she did so. " Yeah, that'd be me...why, who wants t'know? " - a question Mobius wasn't sure how to answer.

" Names Mobius, Miss...Uh, mind if I call you Dash? " He asks quickly and the female merely shrugs in lazy silent reply.
" I'm kinda here because you're needed in Ponyville to move some clouds outta the way. You might not have seen 'em from here, but there's some pretty noxious looking clouds and-... " He couldn't get much more out without the Pegasus giving a decidedly bored expression.

" Pfft, is that all? I can move those on my own in 10 seconds flat - that's not really all that much fun on it's own. " the rainbow-maned pegasus says as she gave Mobius a slightly amused chuckle which implied that she had a better idea. " Tell ya what - I'll do it if there's some competition involved though... "

Mobius had a feeling that there wasn't much of a choice - and as such, the eagle-turned-pony gave a smirk and nodded. " Sure, why not...I'll bite! "

Of course, he had barely gotten past "Sure, why not? " as Dash then took off promptly...which took him by surprise, before frowning sharply and taking off soon after, cursing himself for underestimating the pegasus he'd been addressing. Still, if this helped get things cleared, then what did it matter?

Tailing Dash all the way back to Ponyville, he focuses more on making the best of it as he skims over a nearby smoke cloud to dissipate it, watching as dash did the same with a couple of clouds nearby...it wasn't going to take TOO long at all to clear this if she was THAT competitive!

OOC: I am completely lost. Would anyone mind hijacking Kayla for a bit and getting her back on track?

*feels dumb*
