itdoesntmatter[So, Luceti. All's quiet this cold afternoon in the village and in the forest, right?
Well, it probably isn't anymore. In the forest, trees can be seen being bent and the leafless branches sway as something blasts by at high speed. Those with sharp eyes can catch a blue streak dashing along the ground, wind wrapping around it at its point, looking almost like a comet. A comet that leaps over every obstruction in its path without hesitation, and even bounces from tree to tree to clear any gaps... until it comes across one of the streams.
The blue blur doesn't hesitate, and instead begins following the river downstream, running along its surface, sending water flying back behind it in a wave... until it finds its way into the village.
Here the streak slows down enough that the wind surrounding it dissipates. Sonic takes his run through the village slower so he doesn't hit anyone, but he does take needlessly roundabout paths, bounding along the roofs of houses, off the sides of community buildings and along the tops of lamp posts until he makes it into the square. Here he finally stops, kicking up a large cloud of dust as he does so.
He pauses and takes a look around the square, his journal under his arm, unaware it started recording. With a casual scratch of his head, he then shakes his head, his blue quills gently swaying as he does so.]
Yup, definitely looks like I'm not in Kansas anymore. [He shrugs, then runs a finger along one of his wings, somewhat annoyed.] Not that I was there to begin with.
[Sonic then turns to anyone else in the square.]
Hey! Can anyone give me directions outta "Now-I-Have-Wings Land?" Can't really say I'm a fan...

1/2
Date: 2012-01-11 04:07 am (UTC)Can he manage to inch ahead before the end? Letting out a grunt he pushes as hard as he can...
But to no avail, as they both crest the sands of the beach, they manage to do so at the same time.]
no subject
Date: 2012-01-11 04:09 am (UTC)...Huh. I think we just... tied.
no subject
Date: 2012-01-11 04:15 am (UTC)Yeah, well...
[...Yep. She tied. While it's certainly a step above losing, she was so looking forward to the bragging rights that come with a smooth victory.
Huff. Does that mean she's gonna have to share the title of "fastest"?]
You didn't beat me. Betcha just lucked out this time.
1/2
Date: 2012-01-11 04:18 am (UTC)2/2
Date: 2012-01-11 04:19 am (UTC)Is there something with this place that messes with super speed? I felt like I was only going half as fast as I normally would, even though I was going one-hundred percent.
no subject
Date: 2012-01-11 04:38 am (UTC)It's not just you. This place messed with my speed, too.
I mean, if I was going my real speed, I'd be pulling off Sonic Rainbooms in a heartbeat!
no subject
Date: 2012-01-11 04:46 am (UTC)Well, at least that means it was still a fair race. Wouldn't have been cool if one of us had a real disadvantage.
And I may not make... rainbooms, [Whatever the heck those are...] but I make sound look slow when I'm really going.
no subject
Date: 2012-01-11 05:34 am (UTC)[Dash does like a good challenge, after all. She just likes winning a whole lot, too.
And, pff. Sonic's description...]
So basically you break the sound barrier. Well, a Sonic Rainboom takes it one step further.

Date: 2012-01-13 12:32 am (UTC)Even better! It's a sonic boom and a rainbow combined.
[She hovers a bit off the ground, bringing one hoof to her chest.]
It's a legendary stunt, and I'm the only pegasus who's ever pulled it off.
no subject
Date: 2012-01-13 12:57 am (UTC)Heh, not bad.
no subject
Date: 2012-01-13 01:17 am (UTC)[Which is a shame because she loves showing off.]
But I can do way more than that.
[So maybe she can show off in some other ways. Ha!]
no subject
Date: 2012-01-13 03:57 am (UTC)[He loves showing off too, don't you know.]
no subject
Date: 2012-01-13 06:55 am (UTC)[She points a hoof at him. Oh yeah, she's curious now.]
no subject
Date: 2012-01-13 11:49 am (UTC)[He smiles. He's just teasing, really. But with that, Sonic crouches down and quickly spins into a ball...
And then revs up like an engine and peels out in his spinning form along the beach. He leaves ragged trenches behind him... signs that his quills dug right in and would've done some damage.]
no subject
Date: 2012-01-13 06:06 pm (UTC)But Dash is gonna keep her cool, flicking a hoof as she readies herself for her next move.]
That was pretty good, but check this out!
[She crouches down on the ground for a second or two, and then she's up like a rocket, flying higher and higher with her front legs held forward. She starts spinning like a torpedo and blasts through some of the clouds, disappearing for a split second...
THUMP! BAM.
Up above, she slams herself against a few clouds, making a small sprinkling of snow above the beach, and then she resurfaces, looping around a few more clouds to make them spin. Why? Because she's an over achiever and loves showing off.
To finish, she zooms down like a rocket, loops around Sonic, and lands right back where she started.]
no subject
Date: 2012-01-13 10:54 pm (UTC)[He's a little impressed, but he's not showing it either. The showy stunts are just that, showy, but it does show she has great control.]
Not too shabby, Dash.
no subject
Date: 2012-01-14 08:42 am (UTC)[While it might not be a wild applause, praise is praise. It fuels her ego, so it's all good.]
no subject
Date: 2012-01-14 09:16 pm (UTC)[It's said in good humor, though. If nothing else, he doesn't say it with any mean spirit at all.]
no subject
Date: 2012-01-15 04:26 am (UTC)Gardening's not my thing. Takes too much patience, and I'm more of an action girl.
[Heh.]
But sports and stunts? I'm totally there.
