one diamond ♦ video/action for New Bark!

[notafussbudget]

[ Here, Johto, have some snow and ice. The 'Gear's fallen on the ground, which bumped the video function on. All the camera's catching is ground, but you can hear a voice in the background: female, indignant and haughty. ]

Oh, my word! How am I supposed to walk on these things?

[ She gives a frustrated scream. Suddenly, the camera has a veeeery

[d-d-d-date voice!]

...Rarity...?

[notafussbudget]

[ She scoops up the 'Gear and peers at it again. ]

What? [ Wait, that's - ] Oh, Fluttershy! You've no idea how happy I am to see you!

What is this thing? And why are you in it?

[3_butterflies]

... It's called a Pokegear... It's a thing that lets people talk from far away... I'm not 'in' it... I'm in another town...

[notafussbudget]

... Right. Like letters? But I can see you. [ She leans back a little, realizing that her face is probably looming and huge. ]

How odd. What town are you in? ... What town am I in?

[rodeopony]

Of all the ponies...Rarity? That you?

[video]

[notafussbudget]

[ As if she could mistake that voice. ]

Applejaaaack~? You're here, too?

[video]

[rodeopony]

Me an' Dash an' Fluttershy! You alone?

[video]

[notafussbudget]

No, the rest of us are here in this... 'New Bark' place? [ She turns the camera around to show the town, and the other two girls. ]

At least all six of us are here. This could certainly be much worse. Though it would be nice to be on all four feet again. Honestly....

action;

[all4fun_fun4all]

[Likely some time a bit later Rarity can find Pinkie out in the snow. She's on her hands and knees, because screw this walking business, and her Igglybuff is sitting in front of her chattering away in Igglybuff speak.]

Uh-huh. Uh-huh! And then! Oh no he didn't!? He did!? And THEN!?

action FOREVER ♥

[notafussbudget]

[ She's sort of gotten the hand of this walking malarkey. She takes careful, mincing steps through the snow, occasionally having to catch her balance on a patch of ice.

She almost wouldn't have recognized her, but - well, who else would be doing that? ]

... Pinkie? What in Equestria are you doing down in the snow like that?

[all4fun_fun4all]

[Her head shoots up at the familiar voice]

RARITY! Ohmygoodness is that you!? [She tries to scramble up and falls over again in a tangle of arms and legs and skirt. Sitting up after a second she shakes herself off and grins.]

SwirlPuff here was just telling me about the creation of this world! It's a SUPER exciting story about a creature called Arceus and how it created the universe! Isn't that super neato!?

[notafussbudget]

[ That all made about as much sense as Pinkie usually makes, so Rarity takes it in stride. ]

Positively fascinating, yes, darling. Listen, there isn't anywhere to stay here. We can't stay out in the snow. [ She looks uncomfortable, glancing toward the lone road out of the town. ]

What kinda name is Parasprite?

[video]

[notafussbudget]

Hm? [ She peers at the boy on the screen. ]

Parasprites! You know, the insects with the large eyes and even large appetites? [ She laughs lightly. ]

[video]

[bakaitoukid]

... never heard of them.

[video]

[notafussbudget]

Oh.

Well, I suppose I hadn't even heard of them until Fluttershy found one. Even she hadn't heard of them. Perhaps they're rare.

[l4w_of_dr4gons]

Oh? Another pony? Well if me and almost all my teammates showing up here didn't proove that Johto has some kind of preference for who it picks this surely adds some weight to that argument.

audio or video, bro?

[notafussbudget]

You've met other ponies, have you? We're... - wait. How did you know I was a pony? [ Not suspicious (yet?), just bewildered. ]

[video]

[l4w_of_dr4gons]

You have trouble walking. You were quickly contacted by two other known ponies. And your hair is a ridiculous tasty grape color.

I thought it was a pretty safe guess.

[video]

[notafussbudget]

Oh. [ A beat. ] It is ridiculously tasty-looking, isn't it? [ She smiles, tugging at a curl. ]
