video/action ♢ open!

[msfabulosity]

[Ah, Vatheon. How lovely it must be for all of you who are topside right now. Surely you are enjoying the sun, the shade, the lovely ocean water and beautiful sea life~

... But then. Are those the sound of hooves?]

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!

[And now a shriek! A panicked shriek of a damsel in distress! Could someone be hurt, is someone drowning? Oh, whatever is going on now?]

Oh, oh, no, no, no, this is awful! Simply dreadful! Oho, how could this have happened!?

[For anyone watching or even on the island right now, she will make herself known: a beautiful white mare shivering and tromping about in the sand. Oh, it's sticking to her hooves! Her beautifully polished hooves! Rarity barely realizes she's tapped the communicator beside her, nor does she pay attention to the lovely vest. (Really, Princess Zelda, the shade is lovely, but Rarity is currently preoccupied with more important things!)

Pawing at the sand and with tears in her big blue eyes, she sniffles.]

O-oh. My poor mane. A-and my coat. Ooh, it's all ruined!

(( ooc: Feel free to reply with an action response if you wish. Hopefully someone can calm her down. :c ))

I try my best, Lady Rarity. I couldn't imagine anyone being rude to you in the first place.

Is there any other way I could possibly assist you?

[msfabulosity]

Yes, one would certainly be sorely mistaken to think they could get away with being boorish with me. But, oh, the world is full of ponies, some of which do not have the most darling of personalities. 'tis a bit of a shame, but life all the same, no?

[Oh! Anything else? ... Well.]

Hmm... If I truly am going to be staying here for a while, I suppose it would be beneficial to become better acquainted with the locals. Now then! Would you be so kind as to tell me about yourself? You must be so interesting!

[aim_exorable]

Well, I'm not entirely sure how interesting I might be, but I will do my best...

I'm an engineer, with a fair bit of medical skills as well. I've been hoping to utilize them to help with our recent move to the island. One of my specialties happens to be in robotics, as a matter of fact.

[msfabulosity]

Robotics? Goodness, that must take quite a bit of time and patience. I can certainly appreciate one who dedicates themselves to that, seeing as I am a pony who adores the little details~

Have you made many things?

[aim_exorable]

I'm quite honored that you think so, then. [A slight bow of his head.]

I have. Vatheon does give one an awful lot of time and, previously, a fair amount of resources. I built many things. If you'd like, I could give you an example.

[msfabulosity]

[She immediately seems excited about this, those eyes of her glimmering in curiosity.]

Oooh, I would love a demonstration! Do show me, won't you?

[aim_exorable]

Very well.

[He thinks for a moment on what robot to show her. Normally, he would go with the dogs but they're with Mituna now as ever faithful guardians. Some of the others, like the gorilla, seem like they would be a bit too... bulky for her tastes.]

[Coming to a decision, he opens up his sylladex again and one of the cards deposits a sleek robotic cat onto the sands. It's a sleek thing, segmented a bit so that it has all the flexibility a normal cat has, and promptly draws itself up from its landing crouch. Blue lit up eyes survey Rarity coolly.]

[msfabulosity]

[She waits patiently, watching and smiling all the while in silence, but when that little robot cat shows up-

-Rarity practically explodes.]

OH MY STARS, DARLING~!

[The blue eyes remind her of Opal, her pet cat from home, and she crouches down to get a better look at it.]

She is beauuuutiful~ So sleek and her eyes are practically like sapphires! How ever did you make such a lovely thing?

[aim_exorable]

[Like so many cats, the robokitty preens itself a bit as Rarity looks over it. Darkleer looks rather pleased at the reaction.]

Well, it was easier down in the city as I had the appropriate supplies- metals and wiring, et cetera. I wouldn't want to bore you with the details. I believe most find them a bit too complicated.

[msfabulosity]

[She wants to reach out and pet it, but Rarity respects the cat's space, instead resorting to resting on her belly, front leg crossed.]

Oh, no, no, no. You could not possibly bore me. I love to hear about others.

[Look how she bats her eyelashes at you. Look at it.]

[aim_exorable]

[Trust him, he's looking, and melts in record time.]

Well, if you insist... I tend to keep away from humanoid figures as myself, since I find forms such as felines and ponies such as yourself to be considerably more interesting. It's more of a challenge to get them down to perfection.

[msfabulosity]

[Chuuuuuuu you're positively darling, aren't you~]

Have you ever created a pony before? Certainly all of that work takes you a considerably amount of time, does it not?

[aim_exorable]

As said before, we do have a lot of time here. I believe I've been here for around two years. I am also very quick with my hands with matters like these... It's a passion of mine, as I'm sure you understand.

I have created a couple of hoofbeasts, but nothing truly beats the real thing, you understand.

[msfabulosity]

[Rarity giggles.]

Why, I could not agree more. We ponies are quite fabulous, after all... some of us more fabulous than others.

[She bounces her mane with one of her hooves. She's practically sparkling... until she lowers that safe hoof and notices that it's not as shiny as it should be! Rarity frowns.]

Oh, the polish has completely worn off! How unfortunate. And I spent all of that time getting them done...

[Sigh]

You see, before I was so rudely swept away to this world, I was in the middle of a very important pony ceremony. The venue was gorgeous, all of Canterlot positively beaming! And all my beautiful dresses there for the elite to admire~

[aim_exorable]

How disastrous. I hope you may be reassured that when Vatheon returns you, there will not have even been a second for them to lack your wonderful presence.

Until then, I'm afraid the homes we've moved to here are not very extravagant, but I can escort you to one if you would like.

[msfabulosity]

[Rarity stands and waves her hoof at him with a laugh.]

Oho, you are so charming~

[Her wonderful presence indeed.]

Well, if it would not be too much trouble, then I would gladly allow you to escort me. After all, are you not my knight in shining armor?

[Giggle!]

[aim_exorable]

[Putting his things away back from where they came- with the exception of the robocat- Darkleer gets up and bows for her.]

I am honored you think of me as such, Miss Rarity. Please, follow me.

[msfabulosity]

[Come along, kitty. You can walk with Rarity. Or on Rarity if you want. Opal always likes to do that.]

Lead on, good sir!

[aim_exorable]

[For now, kitty declines! It will keep pace, however, pausing now and then to shake its paws off of sand.]

[Darkleer can't stop looking at Rarity as she leads the way, utterly enchanted.]

It's not a long walk, but is there anything else I can tell you before we arrive?

[msfabulosity]

[Oooh, she is so adorable. It really is like Opal.]

Anything else? Hmm...

[She thinks on it, then it looks as if a light has turned on in her head. Ideaaaaa~!]

Ah! Yes. What would your favorite color be, darling?

[aim_exorable]

Mine?

[That isn't exactly what he was expecting!]

Well, I tend to favor shades of blue- particularly this kind. [He gestures to the blue arrow sign he has on his clothing.]

[msfabulosity]

Blue? This blue...

[Rarity moves in closer to get a better look at the sign and the color. Ooh, yes, she can work well with this.]

Very well! I shall have something prepared for you tout suite! ... As soon as I have the proper materials at my disposal, but, nevertheless, Rarity stays true to her word!

[aim_exorable]

It really isn't necessary for you to make something for me, Miss Rarity, but if you insist, I suppose it would be rude to decline.

[msfabulosity]

Of course it is necessary! Your generosity must be rewarded.

[More eyelash batting]

All right~?

[aim_exorable]

It was nothing but politeness.

[But seriously, he is extraordinarily pleased at being complimented so much.]

[Fortunately, the village is finally around the bend. It is rather simple in design, but you can't afford to be picky when you're at a dead end like they are. Darkleer carefully checks over the houses they pass before stopping at one.]

I believe this one has not yet been claimed yet, Miss Rarity.
