new muse; voice-testing. possibly sending her somewhere, though heaven knows where.

[brigading]

You.

( Haruhi glares directly at her mundane, giving the evil eye. )

You haven't been focusing on me lately at all, have you? To you, it's all "but I have homework to do" or "I haven't roleplayed in ages"! ( There's a sigh before she continues. ) Excuses, excuses.

Sure, you haven't played in a while, but that means nothing! You made my account, right? And you even said it yourself: "I want to play Haruhi this time." After all, you didn't do all that well with your other stupid muses. Besides, I'm more important than all of those people combined, right?

So just find me a place to go to and get a move on already!

( And she ends her rant with a huff. )

[elementofloyalty]

That's right! Show 'em who's boss!

[brigading]

It's obvious that it's me—

( A slight pause as her eyes widen in surprise. Is that... a talking pony?! )

You're flying. And you can talk! That's... so cool!!

[elementofloyalty]

Yep! I'm a pegasus pony, all right. We're pretty good at both of those! And I'm the best at flying of course.

[brigading]

( Haruhi gives a small chuckle, grinning at that last part. )

Oh, really? Then maybe we should have a race to prove it! I may not be able to fly, but if I can beat a flyer by running, it just proves that you're not the best.

[elementofloyalty]

A RACE, is it? Running? You've got no IDEA who you're dealing with!

[She laughs, and turns a confident loop in midair.]

Sure, you're on!

[brigading]

Ha. And you have no idea who you're dealing with!

( She readies herself, redoubling her grin as she gives the pony a mischievous smirk, a small glint in her eye. )

[elementofloyalty]

All right! To that arbitrary object over there!

[Rainbow points the way, then tenses up like a spring, all compact energy waiting to release.]

Ready, set -- GO!

[brigading]

( And at the very split second of 'go', Haruhi darts over to the object, going as fast as she possibly can. )

[elementofloyalty]

[Which just means that Rainbow is there first -- having flown so fast that the ground she'd passed just inches over has burst into flames.]

[Rainbow-colored flames.]

[brigading]

( The teenage girl blinks twice, completely baffled. What just happened? She stares at the side and then behind her.

... Woah. )

That really was fast! You don't happen to be faster than the speed of light, are you?

[elementofloyalty]

Naw, it only seems that way.

[Rainbow Dash lands casually, looking as absolutely self-pleased as can be imagined.]

I'm only faster than sound.

[brigading]

I see, I see.

( Haruhi nods, smiling. )

Anyway, I'm Haruhi Suzumiya! Who're you?

[elementofloyalty]

The name's Rainbow Dash! I kind of know who you are. My mun sends me out looking for you sometimes.

[brigading]

Eh? Huh? Why?

( She's kind of curious now. )

[elementofloyalty]

Because he gets a weird kick out of me letting you know there's a time-traveling eye-laser-firing magic girl where I am, and then seeing your reaction.

[brigading]

( WAIT FOR IT... )

... Seriously?!

[elementofloyalty]

Yep. The weird things people get their amusement from, huh?

[brigading]

But that's totally cool!

[elementofloyalty]

Naw, cool is what I do. That's just kind of weird.

[brigading]

Don't be ridiculous. That's really amazing, you know? A time travelling magical girl!

[elementofloyalty]

With laser eyebeams. Named Mikuru.

[brigading]

Wait, wait, wait.

( Yeah, now she's not buying it. )

Are you talking about Asahina Mikuru-chan?

[elementofloyalty]

Yeeeep, that's the one.

[brigading]

No way, that can't possibly be her...

[elementofloyalty]

Oh yeah, don't believe the flying talking pony.
