22 Butterflies | Video (Possible Action)

[Sprout's face appears onscreen when the feed comes on, looking a bit confused.]

So uh...anyone else having this problem?

[The camera shifts to show Choco trying to calm down a rather frazzled Fluttershy...or at least one could assume it's Fluttershy. The yellow feathered wings are familiar, sure enough, but despite the human clothes, she clearly was not human at the moment. Her flowing tail, the same color as her hair, flicked anxiously as she paced on four hooves instead of two feet. She seemed to mutter an "Oh no..." with each turn, passing by Choco over and over as he tried to talk to her.]

C'mon, Fluttershy...it's nothing to worry about...

[The camera turns back to Sprout.] ...Little help?

((OOC: Can stay video, or can move to action. Most likely she'll be either in her apartment, or on the hospital roof.))

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

Looks like she's a little horse.

[Yes. he honestly said that with a straight face.]

[Sprout just gives him a flat look.]

Funny...

Couldn't help it.

What happened? Was it something she ate?

Doubt it. It looks like whatever was keeping her human has glitched out, so now she's back to her original form...

Wait she's meant to look like that?

[Tony blinks]

No wonder she was shy. [Pause] Wait, everyone from her world was a pinata coloured horse?

Well yeah, that's what she looks like back in her world. Never wondered about the wings, huh?

From what I get, not everyone in her world is the same color. But yeah, they're all different kinds of ponies. They're either regular ponies or unicorns or, like Fluttershy, pegasi...

Wait really?

Bring me closer, I need to see this.

[He makes a vague gesture to go along with his demand to be closer to the pony girl.]

[Flora gives him a look that seems to suggest she does not like being given orders by someone not Fluttershy. But she complies anyway and brings the D-Terminal closer to where Fluttershy was now sitting, her four legs tucked under her and her wings folded in.]

That.

[He stares for a long time.]

Is it weird that I think this is cute? It's weird, isn't it?

[Fluttershy, finally realizing that Flora was talking to someone, blushes a little. But Flora could be heard chuckling offscreen.]

Nah. S'a lotta people's opinions really. She's just a pretty pegasus.

[Tony keeps staring at said pretty pegasus.]

Are a lot of those opinions from middle-aged men?

Hang on, you're hair was always that uh, nice? You know groomed?

Never really asked. But I don't see the harm in it. I mean, how can you look at her and not think she's adorable?

[Fluttershy's blush darkened a little, before she turned back to Tony's question.] U-Usually, yes...

When she's that age, it can be a big problem.

Does someone else do it, or to you have a brush nailed to a wall in your world?

[He's becoming all science-like with his curiosity, don't mind him.]

How so?

Well...sometimes my friend Rarity brushes my hair...she uses her magic to hold the brush up. Or Angel, my rabbit, will sometimes do it...But my hair is normally like this anyway...

Just, take my word on it. Not that I'm that kind of guy. But I don't really want it in your head right now.

Huh, that's. Magic? Not the point. That's still weird and yet, oddly compelling.

[She's not entirely sure how to respond to that.] Thank...you...?

[He wasn't expecting to be thanked so he just kind of nods and moves on.]

Do the wings work?

They do, yes...

Er...well normally they do. I haven't...flown in a while, having broken one and then the other...and I was never a strong flier to begin with, so I'm a bit...rusty...

Well, that's. Interesting.

Wait, how did you break them? [Be careful Tony, you almost sound like you care.]

Well...one of them broke when I got lost in a forest during the summer...the other one...kind of...got broken...

Edited 2014-02-21 01:48 (UTC)

Got broken? As in, someone else did it?

W-Well...

Yes.

Talk about kicking puppies. Who would insult you let alone actually hurt you?

[Even when he didn't know Fluttershy was anything more than a shy teenager he couldn't imagine people would want to hurt her. Forget she was there maybe, but that's not close to the same.]

I-It wasn't his fault, honestly. There was a virus going around that affected people...It made them act so differently than how they normally would. He never would have hurt me if it hadn't been for that...

Virus, huh? Well that would have been. Fun.

Hope you gave him at least a talking to after he was, uh, vaccinated?
