   🍃The Running of the Leaves (2025) Race Event!

   What happened to Iridescent? Well, midway through the race, he tripped over a branch, got disoriented, and lost track of the...track. Some say he's still aimlessly bucking trees to this day. Those ponies are wrong, however, because he eventually got tired.

   *Iridescent was still at the vines. He was still wobbling his horn around, chopping vines and freeing ponies. Until his horn eventually shrank down to its normal size. Iridescent took another one of those berries and ate it. He felt bile rising in his throat. He tried to hold it back to no avail as a strange liquid spewed from his mouth. All the vines in his proximity then withered away and died.*

   *Iri sniffs one of the berries and cautiously plops one in his mouth.* "I don't feel any-Whuh!" *Iridescent nearly toppled over as he felt a sudden weight grow on his forehead. He looked up to find that his horn had grown at least another three feet. Judging by the cut vines where his horn had stumbled, it looked like it was also sharper. Iridescent grunted as he lifted his head, his now elongated horn wobbling above him.* "Well, this is inconvenient."

   *Once Iridescent had warmed up, he followed the cupcake trail and continued the race. When he encountered the vines, he came to a screeching halt. Not knowing how to proceed, he looked around at his surroundings. That's when he noticed the saddlebag of Changeling Berries. He picked one up in his magic, examining it.* "What exactly do these do?"

   *The cold air starts to catch up to Iridescent. He ceases his tree-bucking as he feels tremble uncontrollably. He stands there in the cold for a moment before he sees a warm glow in the distance. He pushes himself through the cold, his pants coming out as a thin mist, as he trots in the direction of the light. Upon finally reaching the source, Iridescent Edge is met with the other contestants huddling around the unicorn's heat spells. Iridescent tetatively walks into the circle.* "H-H-Hi..."

   “Thanks, Shiny ( @Shiny Silvermoon).” *Iridescent drank the potion, gagging slightly at the bitter taste. But after a few seconds, he could feel the potion’s effects settling in. He sprinted off to the proper path of the race. It did take a while, and Iridescent was still behind the other racers, but he eventually did make it back to the track. He resumed his strategy of bucking trees as he felt the cool air wash over him, sending a shiver down his spine.*

   Iridescent Edge had finally caught up with Shiny Silvermoon (@Shiny Silvermoon), screeching to a halt once he reached the clearing. He noticed Dynamo pad (@Dynamo Pad) was there too, and weakly, momentarily raised his hoof in a greeting-like gesture. "Hi...*pant* Shiny...*pant*" Iridescent leans against a tree for support as he catches his breath. "I see...*pant*...you found...*pant*...your bat..."

   Iridescent flinched slightly from the thunder as her noticed @Shiny Silvermoon running away. “Hey! Wait!” Iridescent gallops after her. At least, he tries to. Iridescent pants heavily as he feels like his lungs are going to explode. He can’t tell is he’s mostly soaked in precipitation or perspiration at this point.

   “I see.” Iridescent Edge pauses momentarily, his hoof idly dragging small circles in the mud. “My name’s Iridescent Edge. Would you like me to help you find your pet?”

    *Iridescent had noticed how @Shiny Silvermoon’s bat had ran off, and after a moment of hesitation, he walked up to her.* “Uh, excuse me, but…was that your pet that just ran away?” *Iridescent points his hoof in the direction that Socrate disappeared into.*

   🍃The Running of the Leaves (2025) Race Event!

   Started by Dynamo Pad · September 1

   Storyline:
   As your OC arrives at the gathering spot, they can see the starting line, a hot air balloon, empty seats to sit in the crowd, as well as other ponies gathering to either watch or participate.
   There are serval things that you can do in this situation.
   You are able to:
   Interact with other participants taking part in the race.
   Head on over to Dynamo Pad, who's standing near a desk full of numbers to hand out to the participants.
   Do something else.
   It's completely up to your OC on what you'd like to do, before the race begins. Once everyone has their numbers, everyone can line up at the starting line for the race to begin.
   The race will begin on September 8th! This will give everyone enough time to arrive at the racing location, as well as line up at the starting line when the race is about to commence. 
   Good luck and have fun, everypony!
   OOC: Don't forget that posts in this thread should be in character (IC) to help build a storyline. A prompt shall appear shortly.
   OOC: If you wish to sign up for the race event, be sure to post your response and interest in the Sign Up Thread:

   As you all make your way towards the location of the race for this years, Running of the Leaves. You can see multiple things going on as you take a look around the area. A pink hot air balloon tied to a post and ready to take flight, empty bleachers that are slowly starting to fill with audience spectators. Ponies and other creatures holding vendor stalls for food and beverages. From cotton candy, popcorn, beverages and many more treats are available to be purchased and had!
   As this was going on, the host for the event, Dynamo Pad, was looking through his checklist to make sure he was prepared for this year's race. "Let's see here. Paper's with numbers on them? Allowing me to hand over said number to the participants? Check! Commentators having a bird's eye view for the race and the racer's? Check! Weather conditions being bright and sunny?" He asks, smiling as he pulled his gaze away from his clipboard, before turning his attention towards the sky. His smile faded slightly as his expression turned puzzled as he took notice of the sky. What was meant to be a clear and sunny blue sky, was instead filled with gray clouds and a slight windy breeze. "Huh? That's really strange. I thought for sure the plan was to have clear skies for the race. It looks like it might rain, but I don't recall there being an announcement of rain. I think Rainbow Dash would have said something." He says, scratching the back of his neck as he tried to make heads or tails of what was going on.
   "Hmmm...I guess this could be okay. There shouldn't be any rain, so the ground wouldn't be wet and slippery to run across. Hopefully everything will be okay. I remember how much fun everyone had from the last Running of the Leaves. I made sure that things were just as fun this year as compared to last year. Making it double the fun!" His puzzled look slowly faded as his smile returned. He admitted to himself that he was feeling nervous, but not as nervous as he felt from the previous race. While he did hope that things went well this time around, he was still looking forward to the race ahead.

   IC:
   With the start of the Fall season, it's time to kick things off to a roaring start! That's right! With Summer behind us and Fall in front of us, the time has come to knock down some more leaves! And what better way to start the Fall season than to have ourselves another classic tradition of The Running of the Leaves! The time has come once more to sign yourself up if you wish to take part in this exhilarating race! Challenging, exciting, and memorable times are sure to be had! Also, fun! Can't forget about fun! Did I mention the word fun? If not, then fun should be mentioned once more as one can never have too much fun! And... huh, what is this? Unscheduled rain clouds? I hope it won't be raining... Ahem, anyway, if you wish to take part, then please make sure to sign up in the thread below, or you can send myself, Dynamo Pad, a DM saying that you'd like to participate! I hope to see you all once more in the race!
   OOC Detail:
   The time has come to stretch your legs, get on your marks, get set, and go! To the races, after all! This event will be RP-based, but this time, it won't be about speed or luck. Instead, your goal will be to knock down as many leaves as you can, as you head to the finish line! Challenging challenges, potentially treacherous obstacles, and fun shenanigans might be in your way, but it's up to your courage, creativity, and cleverness on how well you do!
   Please send me a DM or comment in the thread below if you wish to participate!
   Deadline: This event will begin on September 1st and shall continue all throughout the month and into October.
   Rules: No dice will be required when taking part in this event. Instead, it all comes down to your creativity and roleplaying skills! Leaves serve as points, and you get them for being active, and overcoming challenges in funny, creative, and interesting ways. Using new ideas to get through obstacles gives more points than reusing previously known methods, and experiencing difficulties gives more points than beating obstacles too easily. This year, it's not about being the first on the finish line, so focus on having fun!
   While a race can bring out the competitive spirit in us all, please don't ever forget to always be kind and courteous to your fellow friends! It's always great to make friends and to get to know said fellow friends throughout the competitions. Last, but certainly not least, never forget to always have fun!
   What is this?: A Prompt for Roleplaying, engagement and fun!
   Any other questions: Feel free to send me a DM
   Who may apply?: Any and all are more than welcome to take part!
   In the end, it's all about having fun, making friends and putting your best hoof forward when it comes to taking part in the race! Especially when there might be some surprises in store!

   Your friend,
   Dynamo Pad
