1 ✫ [audio] :: a rodeo of a different sort

[likeahoss.livejournal.com]

[At first, there's silence from Applejack's journal. Or something close to it, anyway; a definite quiet broken only by soft and steady breathing and the occasional snuffle. Then rustling and a yawn as the snoozing pony stretches and rolls over, still half-dreaming.

It's not exactly the most elegant entrance someone could make to Paradisa, but Applejack never went for that kind of thing even when she was conscious. She yawns again and rubs her eyes with a hoof blearily, sleepy murmurs caught by the journal she's not even aware of possessing.]

...hmm? Apple Bloom, don't bother me now, go an' see Granny if yer hungry. I'm-

[But she doesn't get a chance to finish that sentence, because her green eyes snap open and the new surroundings become apparent to her. Frantic, aggravated clopping of hooves as Applejack dashes about- over here, over there, finally in a circle of utterly dumbfounded and near-panicky confusion. And then a sharp, surprised intake of breath as she notices her flank- or to be more exact, how blank it is. How it lacks her cutie mark, the three red apples she's impossibly proud of. Applejack checks again, and again, and the noise repeats each time. Until she starts yelling, that is, loud and angry and with a definite southern accent.]

JEST WHAT IN TARNATION IS GOIN' ON-?!

[Oh, Rarity would recognize that accent anywhere.] ...oh, Applejack.

I suppose it's... quite past due for you to have arrived here, too. You're not with Rainbow Dash, are you?

[likeahoss.livejournal.com]

[The VOICE FROM NOWHERE makes her jump, hooves hitting the ground again. Applejack looks around, but of course can't see mane or tail of the other pony. An aggravated snort as she tosses her head, as if to clear it.]

Oh, now ain't that jest great? Hallucinatin' Rarity's voice on top of- of whatever this is.....that's powerful nice of you, crazy nightmare, it really is.

[notjamesbond.livejournal.com]

[God is that voice loud.]

Um...I'm guessing you're new. You're in Paradisa now.

[likeahoss.livejournal.com]

[Her lungs are as powerful as her legs! Meaning VERY. Angry huffing as she breathes out through her snout.

It's a very horse-y sound.]

Who's talkin'? Come out an' show yerself! Or is this....Paradisa, whatever...fulla' cowards?

[asdf what a racket, her poor sensitive elf ears]

...What kind of an accent is that?

[likeahoss.livejournal.com]

It's one belongin' to a pony that's gonna make some noise if she don't get no answers, that's what.

[itsallinthebook.livejournal.com]

Applejack? It's Twilight Sparkle. I....guess it is about time for you to come in, seeing as Rarity, Fluttershy, Pinkie Pie, and I have all been here fora little while.

...yeah, neither Fluttershy nor I have our Cutie Marks. I tried magicking Fluttershy's back on, but it didn't work so well.

[GETS READY TO YELL AGAIN BUT

but

that last thing....it just hits her like a hoof to the gut, and even though the anger is still simmering, she can't muster up enough to fuel denial. She looks at her blank flank again, and sighs when she sees that it hasn't somehow reappeared.]

...so this ain't some horrible nightmare? Y'all really are-? an' I'm....?

[thiefoflight.livejournal.com]

[Oh, it's a pony! That's pretty cool! I am sure it's a sight to see!

Luckily for all of us, Vriska is living these hopes and dreams, as she is fluttering about in a certain orange hoodie of hers, catching a certain creature out of the corner of her eye...

AND RUSHING OVER TO THE WINDOW TO LOOK, PRESSING HER FACE AGAINST IT AND BREATHING!]

[likeahoss.livejournal.com]

[oh hi another noise from nowhere, let's investiga-AAAAAAAAAUGH]

W-What kinda varmint is that?!

[technicallyabug.livejournal.com]

[Dictated]

[likeahoss.livejournal.com]

[3-butterflies.livejournal.com]

[happy voice is happy! ... and quiet, as usual.]

[likeahoss.livejournal.com]

...wait jest a pony-pickin' minute- Fluttershy?

[elementoflol.livejournal.com]

Wow, Applejack! You're really loud, at least you haven't lost your voice like Maximus, that would be really sad.

[likeahoss.livejournal.com]

Pinkie Pie....? Somehow I ain't surprised. An' no, my voice ain't what I lost. [BITTERLY]

[fauconnerie.livejournal.com]

[ wishes he had his hawk hearing to be sure... ]

Another pony?

[likeahoss.livejournal.com]

Well, I sure as hay ain't an apple tree, whoever you are.

[eat-me-beat-me.livejournal.com]

Welcome to Paradisa, leave your sanity at the door.

[likeahoss.livejournal.com]

Is that yer idea of good advice to give a filly already rarin' to kick somethin'?
