video/action ♢ open!

[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 ))

[Normally she wouldn't mind being stared at because usually people are staring because she's just so beautiful and lovely, but this time Rarity knows she isn't her best and it irritates her. So when she sees the stranger watching she glares, hooves planted firmly in the sand.]

And just what exactly are you staring at?

You.

[UHM WOW N

at least he's honest... ?]

What are you? Why are you so upset? It's just water, you'll dry eventually.

[She huffs!]

Just water? Do you know what salt water does to hair? It is terribly abrasive! Why, it could cause irritation, and rid of all the moisture!

[She paws a bit frantically at the sand again. She needs a towel! She needs a brush and a proper shower! She has no time to answer your questions!]

[NOPE YOU GET ALL THE QUESTIONS and a confused headtilt]

... is that important?

[Really Rarity you shouldn't expect a sympathetic response from the Unova Chia Pet.]

Is it important? Darling, of course it is! Presentation is everything! Hygiene is everything! How could you not possibly realize this?

[Hrnnnnnnnnnnnn]

[Chia Pet, Rarity. Chia Pet. Seriously, look at him. Look at him.]

... presentation is everything? ... I think you're exaggerating.

[AND THERE'S MORE IMPORTANT THINGS ANYWAY LIKE]

What are you, anyway? You don't behave like a Pokemon.

[Chia pets are tacky little things.]

I cannot believe what I am hearing.

[She shakes her head then with an exasperated sigh,]

I am a pony, darling. What else would I be?

[N certainly isn't a bastion of fashion anyway. I mean really look at his bracelets.

But at least she finally answered his question, and he's leaning forward to get a better look at her.

Also he might be getting a bit handsy, picking up some of that wet hair she was bemoaning so loudly earlier.]

So a pony is just a pony and nothing else? Do you have any powers? How is it that you can speak?

[She can see that! What ever is becoming of the world of fashion? She's about to say something more but when he touches her mane she twitches and steps back, huffing again.]

Please, a bit of personal space, if you would be so kind.

[Now then,]

There are different kinds of ponies of course. I, for example, am a unicorn, capable of performing magic as I see fit.

[She brushes back a bit of her hair to show the white horn protruding from her head.]

[N really isn't sure what to make of a talking pony who isn't a Pokemon who seems preoccupied with outward appearance. And can do "magic". It's certainly weirder than any of the humans or human-like beings that he's met so far.

He does, however, back off when she asks him to, hand letting go of her hair. He rubs his fingers together, feeling the left over salt from the ocean water on his hand. Oh. That would be annoying.]

Is that why you can talk? Because of magic? Where I'm from, most creatures don't speak out loud. I can hear them, but I'm different.

Whatever do you mean? I can speak because I can. All ponies speak whether they can perform magic or not.

Oh.

[Well that's logical, and answers that question and some others he may have had.]

So what sort of magic is it?

It is unique to every unicorn. For example, I use my magic for locating gems and sewing beautiful ensembles.

I see.

[And then he's right back to being blunt.]

You're rather preoccupied with appearances. Isn't what's inside more important?

Darling, inner and outer beauty go hand in hand. You can tell a lot about a pony's personality just by looking at them, after all. If you are not confident and comfortable with your outer beauty, then on the inside what is there? Nothing! Nothing but fear and anxiety and terrible, awful DARKNESS.

[... She's very dramatic, see.]

Edited 2013-04-29 06:28 (UTC)

[Terribly so. Though he can be pretty dramatic, too, if given the right motivation for it.]

I think you might be exaggerating. I'm not concerned with my outer appearance but I'm certain my heart is as just and strong as it ever was.

[A little less confident, sure, but that was to be excepted.]

How could you not be concerned about your outer appearance?

[Don't mind her for a second as she stands then prances around to start eying up your outfit]

Though I should not be surprised. This certainly does leave a lot to be desired.

['scuse you he's Pokemon rival-chic thank you very much.]

'A lot to be desired'?

[Why does he suddenly feel like he's on display?]

Why of course! The colors are so... drab! Surely you have something more colorful in your wardrobe?

[Rarity if you can find something that doesn't clash horribly with bright green hair you will be regarded as a goddess.

... by some one. Not N.]

I like black and white. I think it suits me just fine. Besides, I only arrived here a month ago.

[Darling, please. This is Rarity. If she can make a lovely hat out of three pieces of hay and a drinking straw, then she can surely work with bright green hair!]

Hmm... perhaps some lovely green trim and accents to your outfit would make things really pop. Ooh, and perhaps a dash of blue! Or orange!

[Oh boy.]

Wouldn't new clothes require a shop of some kind? The place where Vatheon residents normally live is currently flooded. We can't go back down until they're capable of fixing it. That's why yo arrived here instead of in the city.

[She still would have been soaked with sea water though. Speaking of.]

Besides, weren't you more concerned about your own hair a moment ago?

A shop? Well, not if you can just make your own outfits! Of course not everyone has that talent, so I suppose a little bit of shopping could work.

[But at the mentioning of her hair Rarity ends up distracted again.]

Oh, that's right! I must get myself cleaned up! I could get a terrible sunburn out here as well!

You'll have to wait until the bubble is fixed then.

[N finally points back towards a spread out area that seems to consist largely of various cobbled together camps, people and other residents milling about among them. There are huts beyond those, but it appears that there isn't quite enough for all the people stuck on the island, making the camps necessary.]

I have a camp back that way if you want to get cleaned up there. My friend is with me, but he won't mind a new friend.

[Oooh, she hates the wilderness. But... if she can get clean by going there-]

Oh... all right. I suppose it shall have to do.
