*Slipstream turned to face her.*

"Oh! Hey Titanium! I haven't seen you since the Goblin Forest. How've you been?"

Oh wow that was quite the adventure... I am still seeing a therapist about that forest. *Vietnam flashbacks ensue*

But glad to see you again! Hope you do well in the race!

*Moonlight decides to take a break from doing absolutely nothing and smiles at the white mare.*

"Titanium! Good to see you again. You know how to make an entrance!"

Keeping busy I see

And you know me, can't go anywhere peacefully or on time, it's becoming a real problem *The mare laughs as she trots through the crowd*

 

15 minutes ago, Shiny Silvermoon said:

"Howdy, Titanium! How are you doing by this beautiful day? If you want to participate to the race, you have to get a number from Dyny!" *Shiny Silvermoon informed Titanium, a gleeful expression still stamped on her face.*

Oh thanks! I can't win if I don't have a number~  *Titanium winks towards Shiny, jokingly digging at her competitor*

*Titanium wanders over towards Dyny, with a pep in her step and mild back pain from the fall* Hello hello! One number please *holding up her hoof as if to show how many 'one' is.*

”Yes, indeed. =] I have no idea what to expect tho. Have never participated in any race. In opposite you look confident. Are you pro racer?"

*Titanium puffs out her chest in a show of bravado* Well, I don't mean to brag... But I did once outrun a flying boulder  *She smirks, looking over to @Nitobit* Isn't that right? We got a loooot of cardio that day!

*Seeing that Dynamo Pad was busy at the moment, due to the overwhelming number of participant that he had to register, I decided to help him by distracting Tree Song @Silly Druid, while he was dealing with the crowd. So, with a both kind and cheerful energy, Shiny Silvermoon trotted toward her.* "Hi there! My name is Shiny Silvermoon! I heard that you're also going to be participating to the race and that your name is Tree Song! It's a pleasure to meet you! If you allow me to ask, where are you from? I've never seen you in Ponyville but I have to say that my arrival is relatively recent!"

"Nice to meet you, Shiny. I don't actually have a place I call home. I'm a druid's apprentice, and we wander across the land all the time. But this time we happened to be near here, so I decided that I'll participate. My teacher is an old druid, and he doesn't want to do anything like this, but he allowed me to apply for the race. What about you, can you tell me about yourself?"

On 2024-11-05 at 12:37 AM, Dynamo Pad said:

As he was conversing with both Roswell and Shiny, Dynamo turned towards a green earth pony with blue eyes and a yellow and purple mane. He blinked as he thought he saw what looked to be worry, or something along those lines. He wondered if she was new to Ponyville, but he still wanted to do his best and help. "Hello, Tree Song and it's nice to meet you. Is this your first time in Ponyville? My name is Dynamo Pad, but you can call me Dynamo." He started, nodding as he went to grab a number for the green earth pony. "There you are, Tree Song. It looks like it's your lucky day as you got number 7. That'll be one free hug. If that's okay, of course. I'm a pony that likes hugs." He explained.

"Of course, hugs are always welcome." She accepted the hug from Dynamo, and proceeded to answer his question. "I was in Ponyville several times before, but never when the race took place. It's the first time I'm able to participate, and I hope to have fun."

She put the number 7 on her flank, and started some stretching exercises, preparing for the running.

"You're a druid's apprentice?! That's so awesome! I'm a great defender of the nature! Time to time, I even howl to the Moon with Timberwolves! Speaking of which, I love the Moon! I have very tight bonds with it! When the moonlight reaches my skin, my magic is two times more powerful and my confidence and courage are increased." *Shiny Silvermoon explained to Tree Song.*

[Lucky Fire]

I'm starting to get antsy. Hopefully Silverspark will tell me why she's looking at me, but I need to get moving. I take off into the sky and begin to fly. I fly in circles, stretching my wings. I was taught some moves by Rainbow Dash, so I use my knowledge on flight patterns and start doing those. I'm having so much fun, so I start to grin big and giggle. I shout with joy,

"Woo-hoo! Yeah!" Once I get my fill of flying, I land back to the starting line and I stretch again. After stretching, I take a deep breath. I smirk, ready to take on this challenge of making the leaves fall with my, and the others', running.

"She's pretty good," I say to myself.

Samurai notices and waves. "Kon'nichiwa." Samurai searches his pockets then pulls out a snack. "Care for a gummy candy? You can peal these like real fruits to reveal a softer, gummier candy inside."

 That taste so amazing! Are they also from Japone? Is the first time I try them! I had onigiri in one of my trips, it was amazing!

"May I try one? I've never heard of those, before."

"Indeed they are! And they are always making new ones. I can barely keep up. I think the newest candy comes in a package that turns into a cute monster pet." Samurai lightly giggles to himself. "I've actually been meaning to make some new onigiri recipes. A variant for all the major locations across Equestria." Samurai says.

"Of course, hime-sama." Samurai happily offers some of the gummy candy to Lucky as well. "You know, royalty doesn't often visit Japone. It's nice to have some vacation time and meet so many new potential friends. At least, I hope you don't mind me being so casual. I'm usually a bit more formal around royalty."

"It's true! It was one of the fastest boulders I've ever seen! I hope they don't have those here." *he looks apprehensively at the path leading deeper into the forest.* "Wait, it's not the same forest, is it?"

"Well, if that's the case, then I'll just have to make the time to visit Japon sometime." I give a playful smirk. I also try a candy.

"Oooo, these are good. Arigatou gozaimasu, Samurai-san. Also, I don't mind you calling me 'hime-sama'," I smile.

(OOC: yes, i spelled Japon the way i did because it makes more sense to me to leave out the 'e' at the end. i used to spell it with the 'e' at the end, too, but then i figured to leave it out because 'Japan' is spelled the way it is, and we're just swapping out the 'a' at the end with an 'o', so.... *shrugs*)

I overhear this.

"It's Whitetail Woods, so if that happened here, then, yes. But don't worry. I've got my danger sensing ability on throughout this race, so if something were to happen, I can prevent it."

*Titanium is thrown from the speeding wagon she got a lift on, bouncing off of the ground and rolling onto the starting line. With no number, no ticket, and no idea what is going on, she stumbles back onto her feet in an attempt to make it look like she had planned this all along.*

"Yes, hello, the one you have all been waiting for is finally here! Fashionably late as always."

 

*she looks around at the crowd of ponies, realising she doesn't know where to go or who to talk to*

"Yes, right, a... Race? Sounds good to me!"

*she jogs on the spot, quickly wearing herself out* "oh boy... I'm not... wow I'm out of shape." *she stammers, before chugging a can of blue bull soda* "Ah... blue bull, it gives you blue... nevermind."

 

*after finally being done embarrassing herself, she saunters over to the other participants* "Hey!" *she calls out*

`well hello there titanium!!!'

"That would mean a lot to me. These rare moments of vacation time really allow me to do something I've always dreamed of, making amazing friends that live beyond the boarders of Japone. Speaking of, are you leaving behind any important royal duties by being here?" Samurai asks.

OOC:

Spoiler

That's perfectly fine! I don't expect anyone to spell it the same way as me. Both spellings are perfectly valid in my opinion. I hold no ownership over the idea of a ponified version of Japan.  The only reason I spell it with an E at the end was to make sure people would know to pronounce it with a long O sound instead of a short O sound. But at the end of the day, as long as we're all having fun, that's all that matters.

"I got my royal duties done last night in anticipation for today. I'd been planning on being here for months, so I made sure to prepare so that I had nothing to do today and could focus all my attention on the race. Well, I'm glad you're here, Samurai-san. I'm happy to have met you and am glad you had enough vacation time to come here."

OOC: very fair lol

*Saying it Crypty pulls notebook and quill fom saddlebag makes several quick marks and hides it back*

"You convinced me.  I think you'll reach finish in first five"

[Shiny Silvermoon]

*Not being used to intense physical exercises, Shiny Silvermoon tried to mimic the other ponies who were stretching their bodies. It was really funny to see the silver-maned unicorn do pointless stretching.* "There! My mane and tail are stretched to their maximum! I'm ready to run and knock some leaves!"
