Wizard

Titanium attempts to hop off of @Nitobit but slides off the wrong direction and lands face-first into the edge of the riverbank. She splashes and splutters as water shoots up her nose, quickly getting her footing and standing upright, she blows the water out of her nose and stands there, gasping for a moment in the shock, looking like a drowned rat. "That... Was cold." She splutters through exasperated breaths. She mindlessly steps backwards and tumbles back into the river, in her panic and frustration, she slams her hooves into the ground, digging them into the rocks that cover the riverbed. She splashes and stumbles but slowly makes it through the river. Shivering and soaked to the bone, she emerges on the other side.

Titanium turns and smiles at the new pony, only to be suddenly slapped across the face with a branch and leaves. "AH! I'M BLIND AGAIN!"

Titanium looks at her hooves and the already bright pink hoofprint on Moonlights back. "Oh you have no idea how much I just want to..." She gestures a scrubbing motion with her muddy moves, implying she could ruin his coat. "But I'll be a good mare... This time. Onward, steed!" She bellows, pointing ahead.

Titanium hugs @Nitobit back and chuckles "I wouldn't miss the chance to defend my title!" Titanium grabs her number and throws it over her back, "Not a bad number! I'll have to make sure I don't fall behind it in the race." She pulls @Dynamo Pad into a hug "Thanks for all your help in these events." She pats him on the back and trots off towards the racers. Titanium turns and is blinded by a sudden hat being dropped over her head. She pulls it up, letting out a short laugh as she looks over at the culprit @Nitobit "And I thought I'd join in with even more paint than usual, just for you." She pats him on the back, leaving a rather lovely pink hoof print behind. Titanium is once again blind, but determined. She bolts forward at full speed, following the familiar sound of a raspberry being blown her way. She slips and slides but keeps her momentum... A little too well, after a short while she realises she has no traction at all and is simply sliding over the mud, with no way of seeing where she was going, and no way of slowing down, she feels the ground give way as she momentarily leaves the earth and lands on something... Soft? She pulls he hat free from her eyes and see's a familiar pink hoof print, she looks forward and realises she had somehow flopped over @Nitobit and was resting on his back, unaffecting his stride. "Well, fancy meeting you here, those boots big enough for two?" She giggles.

Titanium arrives and looks around at the participants, it seems there's some good competition this year, she can hardly believe it's been a year since the last race. She smiles at the sight of everypony together again, the crowd, the hot air balloon, the smell of victory... And food vendors. Her stomach grumbles as she turns away from the food. She can't race right after eating, she'd get a cramp! She spots Dynamo setting up and mumbling to himself, she figures the best thing to do is grab her number before she forgets. "Hey @Dynamo Pad!" She calls out, "Got a number for me?"
