16th Spell: [Video/Action for Goldenrod]

[friendyousohard]

[The feed clicks on to show Twilight hugging what looks like a spaceship with eyes. Looks like her Magneton finally evolved.]

Yes yes yes yes yes yes yes! Finally, my very own Magnezone!

[She practically giggles in glee, clambering up onto the top of her newly evolved Pokemon with a grin. The Magnezone waits for her to be settled on top of it, and then slowly rises up into the air.]

I am Twilight Sparkle, Captain of the Starship Tesla! Our mission is to search the cosmos for-

For...

Megasoma, Snails, what are you two doing with my gear?

[The feed suddenly clicks off.]

Hahahahahahahahahahahahaha~~!

'To search the cosmos for new and unidentified nerds. To boldly go where no eggheads have gone before!'


(OOC: AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH! Sob sob sob; totally sorry for not seeing this for weeks - RL and lots of other stuff in my way! I fail ;_; )

(Action)

[friendyousohard]

[Oh man is she glaring at you, Rainbow.

Though the effect is probably weakened by her blush.]

You know, I was going to invite you up here.

But maybe you'd rather I activate my ship's weapon systems.

[And by that she means shock you silly. Not that she actually would.]

[OOC: Heeeey, no worries, I'm still tagging it. You didn't miss your chance to tease everypony's favorite egghead.]

(Action)

[bestofthebest]

Eheheh...permission to come aboard, Captain?

(Giggling softly while noticing her blush, Rainbow does know when she's bested. This time, anyway. Lightning exits her Pokeball with a loud PICHU~!, motioning to be picked up by Dash.)


(OOC: Yay! That's a relief. Teasing Twilight -and then being humbled by her later- is a Rainbow Dash trait.)

(Action)

[friendyousohard]

... Granted, Lieutenant.

[Congrats, Rainbow, you get to be Worf. Tesla lowers down to allow both of them on board.}

(Action)

[bestofthebest]

(Rainbow's 20% more loyal than Worf, but she eagerly climbs onboard with Lightning while smiling happily. She's back in the sky again!)

So, thought of a name for your ship? Maybe 'Pegasus' or 'Wonderbolt~!'

(Action)

[friendyousohard]

... It's Tesla, Rainbow. Did you not pay any attention when I was telling you the names of my Pokemon?

[Or a few seconds ago when she was calling herself "Captain of the Starship Tesla"?]

(Action)

[bestofthebest]

...Of course I was! But if we're gonna fly around on Tesla shouldn't the ship name be different from the real name?

(Answer: she wasn't paying attention; she was too busy watching Twilight look silly.)

(Action)

[friendyousohard]

No. I named Tesla after what I would name a spaceship if I had one in the first place anyway.

[Tesla is now floating at about mid-tree level.]

Impressive for a hunk of metal, don't you think?

(Action)

[bestofthebest]

Hey, yeah! Can't she fly any faster than this?

(She's totally impressed and loving this, even if she's not flying under her own power.)

...You would really name a ship Tesla?

(Action)

[friendyousohard]

Of course! After the famous inventor Nichooveslai Tesla.

[She doesn't actually answer the question about speed, but Tesla does pick up a bit.]

An earth pony who harnessed electricity. He was rather... eccentric.

(Action)

[bestofthebest]

Eccentric? You mean, like...Pinkie Pie eccentric?

(Rainbow hides a squee at feeling them speed up, but doesn't hide her widening grin.)

'Cause I can totally see Pinkie trying something like that.

(Action)

[friendyousohard]

I hear he was more of a grouch than Pinkie, but yes, just as eccentric. Supposedly he designed a giant coil could gather and release electric current as essentially miniature bolts of lightning, but it never actually was finished. Sadly, the designs were destroyed somehow. They never did find out who did it.

(Action)

[bestofthebest]

Ha, sounds like a mystery for Sherlock Pinkie and her able assistant Dr. Sparkle!

(Action)

[friendyousohard]

That only happened once...

And I still should have been Sherlock.

(Action)

[bestofthebest]

Hahahaha~! At least you got to wear the hat. Can't see you playing a violin, though.

(Action)

[friendyousohard]

True. Do any of us know how to do that? Pinkie plays a lot of instruments, but I'd give her an accordion before a violin.

(Action)

[bestofthebest]

...I'm an athlete, Twilight. I'd pick up a book on magic spells before a violin. Still, I can't see Pinkie not knowing how to play one.

(Action)

[friendyousohard]

Rainbow, I said "any of us", not "you specifically".

... The only one of us I can see knowing how to do that would be Rarity, but I've never seen her doing it.

(Action)

[bestofthebest]

...Ha, right.

Eh, Rarity playing a violin would take time away from her fabrics and jewel hunting.

(Action)

[friendyousohard]

True, but it would help with her high-class image. If she thought it would get her more business she might do it.

(Action)

[bestofthebest]

Yeah, she definitely would. And Spike would promote her from Ponyville to Los Pegasus~!

(Action)

[friendyousohard]

Spike's not going anywhere near Los Pegasus.

[Big Sister/Mom is not having that, not at his age.]

Re: (Action)

[bestofthebest]

Really? He already went to the Dragon Migration, so if he really wanted to go...

(We'd totally go after him. Auntie Dash would be the first one out the door - right after Twilight.)

(Action)

[friendyousohard]

I let him go there to learn more about himself, and I was right behind him the whole time. Not the same thing.

(Action)

[bestofthebest]

But this time, he'd be doing it to help somepony he cared about. You're saying that's not the right thing to do?
