☀ 053 ☀ I'm a little pony, short and fast~

[everhoping]

Oh wow! This is pretty cool! I mean, it's strange at first, but I think I can fly- and I can run much, much faster now!

[ This is Riou. And Riou, the pony being ridden by Mukumuku! Feel free to think it's really, really cute. ]

Rita, wanna try seeing how fast I am with your fireballs now? You probably won't even be able to hit! Toph, you can try it too- with your rocks, anyway!

I can only run! What's it like to fly?

[everhoping]

Well, I guess I'll figure that out! I still haven't tried... Hopefully it'll be fun?

[whatfriendshipcantbe]

At least someone's enjoying it.

[everhoping]

You aren't?

[whatfriendshipcantbe]

I've never been a horse before, it's weird not having fingers.

[everhoping]

That is kind of weird...

But it won't be for too long! This is a curse so it should go away soon and then we'll have our fingers again!

[whatfriendshipcantbe]

Is it easy running around?

[everhoping]

It's tricky running with four feet at first, but once you get a hang of it it's really smooth!

[whatfriendshipcantbe]

I guess I can try it, I can't go to work so I may as well.

[everhoping]

It's fun to try it out at Xanadu!

I can't work like this either so... I've been there all this time. The ground there feels nice!

[eagleofautozam]

You can fly? How fun! You should try it out before your wings disappear!

[everhoping]

Definitely! I'll be flying with Mukumuku!

[eagleofautozam]

That will be fun. I wonder what kind of speed a pony can fly at.

[everhoping]

I wonder too! I guess I'll find out soon!

[eagleofautozam]

Would you mind if I watched your take off? Since I am an earth pony I can't fly but I would be interested to see how exactly a pony would fly.

[everhoping]

Sure you can!

[eagleofautozam]

Thank you. That should be very interesting!

[everhoping]

Or funny...

[eagleofautozam]

Only if you crash.

Maybe you should try flying over a hay-bale so if you fall you would have something soft to land in.

[everhoping]

I should probably do that... It's probably not going to be very fun if I break something...

[eagleofautozam]

Not at all.

[Spending life as a pony at the hospital... or would it be the vet? ]

But, hopefully with the wings you will have a natural instinct that tells you how to fly.

[everhoping]

Heheh... I hope so too...

[beifongbandit]

Ponies don't fly.

voice;

[everhoping]

I have wings, Toph!

voice;

[beifongbandit]

So you're a ponybird? --Wait, I've met one of those before. On a visitor day.

voice;

[everhoping]

I don't think having wings makes me a bird, Toph... I'm still mostly pony!

voice;

[beifongbandit]

I think the bird part is important. If a horse is going to sneak up on me, that's how he'd do it.

voice;

[everhoping]

But even if the horse sneaks up to you by flying he's still a horse!

voice;

[beifongbandit]

Yeah, but you have to work the wings in somehow. Unless they have horsebirds where you come from and it's normal, I guess.

voice;

[everhoping]

There must be a better way of putting it... horsebirds sound weird...

voice;

[beifongbandit]

Well, where you're from they probably don't have mongoose-dragons or turtleducks either, do they? What would you suggest?

voice;

[everhoping]

What are mongoose-dragons?

I think I may have heard about turtleducks... We have kobolds and nay-kobolds- and I heard they have duck people in the Grasslands!

voice;

[beifongbandit]

They're big animals that people ride sometimes in the Fire Nation. They're a big pain in the butt because they can follow you for ages.

Duckpeople? [ She's oddly fascinated. ] Do they have feathers, or do they talk by quacking?

voice;

[everhoping]

So like dragons. [ Nodnods. ]

I- I guess they'd look like ducks too. I mean, Kobolds look like normal dogs. Only. They walk like us. And they talk like us!

So duck people probably talk like us too?

voice;

[beifongbandit]

Well, they don't fly. But yeah.

So talking ducks. And dogs. You know, there really aren't any talking animals where I'm from.

voice;

[everhoping]

Animals don't talk in our world either!

[ the kobolds aren't really... animals... ]

voice;

[beifongbandit]

I don't know. I think that's a thin line there.

But hey, some of my best friends were badgermoles.

voice;

[everhoping]

Like pets?

voice;

[beifongbandit]

No, like friends. They're way too big to be pets.

voice;

[everhoping]

How big are badgermoles?!

voice;

[beifongbandit]

Well, you've been to the zoo here, right? Seen an elephant? They're a little smaller.

voice;

[everhoping]

An elephant...

[ I- I don't think they had elephants in his continent... ]

voice;

[beifongbandit]

You know, huge. You can ride them, but the tunnels are kinda small for that.

voice;

[everhoping]

A lot of animals are huge, Toph...

voice;

[beifongbandit]

Bigger than ponies, definitely.

voice;

[everhoping]

Oh... those are pretty big then...
