16 ♐ Taking foal advantage of things

[aim_exorable]

Who: Rainbowleer and the residents of Vatheon
When: Throughout Sunday
Where: The plaza area
Status: Open
Style: Whatever floats your boat, replies will be from 'ponyleer'

[During the morning until midday]

Don't get Darkleer wrong- being stuck in Rainbow Dash's body, the body of any kind of hoofbeast, is actually rather fun. While it would take nothing short of torture to get him to verbally admit it, it is obvious to anyone with common sense that he's rather happy. You know. When he isn't worrying about a stranger in his own STRONG body.

But there's been an event that's been bothering him all week, and today he can't help but soak in his own misery. Really, it was only a matter of time.

So anyone in the plaza today might notice a small light blue pony with wings and a rainbow on the hindquarters. Sometimes, Darkleer is just laying down on the lip of the fountain or a bench, looking plainly worried and sad. Other times, he's dragging himself about the area, pacing uneasily.

Bother a sad pony?

[In the afternoon]

You know what chases away the b100s temporarily? Flying does.

That sure is a pony zooming through the air and sometimes skirting dangerously close to the ground! Don't worry, Darkleer has gotten control of Rainbow Dash's wings now, he won't fly into anyone.

Probably.

Morning

[devwocean]

[Dualscar sees the sad pony, but isn't about to bother it. He strides past him, then pauses, glancing about. Seeing only a hoofbeast, which is completely nothing of consequence, he sits at the lip of a fountain and pulls out a book to read.]

[ponyleer]

[Once he spots Dualscar, he pauses to pull himself out of his funk. Spotting the seadweller has Darkleer's ears flick back in clear aggravation. Oh, don't even get him started on Dualscar. Just thinking of the 'gift' he sent Disciple is enough to make him want to bite- which is a strangely STRONG urge, probably animal in nature.]

[But it's not because of any pale feelings towards Disciple. Oh no. Definitely not. But because the move itself was low even for a black flirtation.]

[Right.]

[...Yeah, okay, he's not leaving this alone. Soon enough, the pony straightens up to glare at Dualscar.]

So. You mixed an alcoholic liquid of some sort in with the plain milk that served as your "gift" to her.

[Gosh, just listen to that tone! That tone hints at words. Disappointed and stern words! Maybe even- gasp!- naughty words!]

[devwocean]

[Huh? Dualscar was certainly not expecting to be addressed in such a manner by a blue hoofbeast. He lifts his eyes from the book, coolly showing by his expression that the interruption isn't welcome]

Wwhat did you say?

[ponyleer]

You goshdarned heard me.

[Darkleer stomps a hoof. It would probably be a lot more impressive if he wasn't so tiny and also an adorable blue winged hoofbeast.]

Your gift to Disciple was outright despicable.

[devwocean]

[He blinks at the adorable creature accosting him. This is really irritating.]

And wwhat do you know about it?

Afternoon

[thekidsare0kay]

[Sollux can't fly right now, but he can climb. He's sitting on a rooftop, taking a bit of time alone to think, and watching the hoofbeast zooming around in the sky. He looks rather annoyed, actually, missing his powers for the moment. He'd love to join in the fun.]

[ponyleer]

[Flying if fiddlesticking great, Darkleer has been reminded of this fact strongly! Sure will be jealous of certain lowbloods when he's back to being just himself again.]

[So absorbed in just flying to try and make adrenaline force his misery out of his brain, Darkleer almost misses the familiar figure watching him. He eventually slows down, however, going over to hover in front of him to inspect the changes.]

...Sollux?

[thekidsare0kay]

[Oh hey, the hoofbeast is coming closer. Sollux gets to his feet, blinking. He has covered his vision eightfold with a black eyepatch, and his other eye looks normal - normal for a young troll, not normal for him]

Hey, do I know you?

[ponyleer]

Darkleer.

[He's still squinting, investigating as much as he can without invading personal space.]

Did the curse remove your psionic abilities?

[thekidsare0kay]

Oh. Hey there.

[He grins, which turns into snickering] Wow, you're really cute. And-- [He ducks a little, looking] A girl!

[stayb100ponyboy]

[Equius has remained blissfully uncursed this week because a certain other b100 mun ganked the sweet winged horse body, but he knows Darkleer is in Rainbow Dash's body. They do live together, after all. Even if he didn't, it would be pretty clear that that body language is not typical Rainbow Dash, and he walks up to the sad blue pony.]

What's wrong, Dadleer?

[He says that last part very quietly, so no one else will hear.]

[ponyleer]

[As he sees Equius approach, Darkleer does his best to get a good stoic expression going on. However, he's still rather new to being in a pony body. It still shows that he's slightly discontent.]

It's nothing, Equius, I have simply found myself caught on a small detail and am overthinking it.

[Because Disciple drunkenly saying she's pale for him is totally a small detail. Yeah.]

[stayb100ponyboy]

[Seriously, Darkleer, consider your ears and your tail. They're pretty much broadcasting exactly how you're feeling.]

[Equius sits down next to him, being careful not to touch. Dash is awesome and tough and everything, but she's still a tiny, fragile pony, and he doesn't want to hurt either her or Darkleer.]

Yeah. I do that sometimes too.

[ponyleer]

[Not to mention the wings.. Sob. All his stoicism, gone!]

Quite. It's nothing of consequence, really.

[THAT SURE IS A BIG FAT LIE pretty much all of his body language says.]

The basement level of the hive should be finished soon, and then it's just a matter of reconstructing the neighboring hive.

[stayb100ponyboy]

[From master of stoicism to open book in one single curse.]

Good. And then we can... [Equius prattles on for awhile, talking quietly and endlessly. Sometimes, when he's upset, just the sound of Darkleer's voice makes him feel better; maybe it works the same for his ancestor.]

Morning

[bestestfurrend]

[Suddenly from behind him, the voice of his doom.]

Pony! Pony pony pony! [KITTY TROLL INCOMING.]

[ponyleer]

[OH CRUD]

[Darkleer jerks up at the sound of her high pitched voice and immediately takes to the air to avoid the tackle he's not sure this little pony body could handle.]

[bestestfurrend]

[Welp. That sure is Nepeta overshooting her target once it flies off and landing flat on her face. It looks like the mighty huntress is a bit out of practice.]

Oww...

[ponyleer]

[Whoops. He didn't mean for that to happen. He flutters down.]

Nepeta? Are you alright?

[bestestfurrend]

[She sits back up, rubbing ruefully at her nose and fixing ponyleer with a reproachful stare.]

You flew away from me!

I said I would tag you so I'm goddamn tagging you... also afternoon!

[flared]

[Yeah, definitely not expecting to be nearly crashed into by a flash of girly rainbow effects today. Axel's definitely caught off guard, but thankfully manages to swerve out of the way before he's knocked over. Sure did get clipped by a puffy blue wing, though.]

The hell?

about time you joined the party, loser! 8U

[ponyleer]

Oh goodness!

[That hit to his wing throws him off balance, and Darkleer quickly makes an emergency landing. It's not the smoothest, and there's a bit of stumbling, but at least he doesn't make matters worse. If Axel turns around, he'll see a small pony with wings twisting around to try and get a look at his wing in concern.]

I'M SORRY

[flared]

[hfdjafsklah What was that anyway? Axel glances around until he spots the pony not too far away from where he's standing and after tilting his head he decides to start making his way over.

Uh. Did that pony just talk?]

... You ok?

[ponyleer]

[There's no immediately answer. Darkleer is a bit preoccupied inspecting Rainbow Dash's body- that is to say, the one he's in now. It's only when he's certain that it's nothing seriously does he look far up at the man before him.]

I believe so. It was nothing more than a mere brush. I doubt there shall be hardly any bruises. Were you the one I nearly collided with?

[flared]

[Then maybe he'd been hearing things and that pony didn't talk at all.

Or not. It's talking anyway. Axel stops when he's a couple feet away so he can also briefly inspect the wing that managed to clip him a bit on the shoulder.]

Guess so. You were the only flying thing around here last I checked.

[Just to make sure, he glances up at the sky. Nope. Nothing there. And now when he looks back over he smirks a little and nudges his chin in the direction of the pony.]

... Heh. Nice tail.
