| Ice King's Plan | ||
|---|---|---|
| Summary: The time has come to mount a rescue for Rainbow Dash! But why did Ice King go to all this trouble to kidnap the pegasus to begin with? Who: Fluttershy, Marceline, Pinkie_Pie, Rainbow_Dash, Robin_C, Twilight_Sparkle When: April 24th, 2017 Where: Ooo      |
Marceline floats out of one of the windows and drops down to the promenade, "Wow, this is..." She looks up at the steel grey sky, narrowing her eyes. "This is getting nuts, even for Simon." She shakes her head, "What's his game?" She looks over at Bubblegum curiously, "He hasn't sent you any more of those love letters or asked you out again has he, PB?" Robin the human arrives at the castle... the first time for him! He's fairly quiet, however. After his conversation with Fluttershy, he actually is hoping to be kind of useless in this mission. Afterall, he realized a bit(re: WAY) too late that he showed up for all this as Robin rather than as Strimla... so at this point, if push comes to shove, his secret is going to be out. Princess Bubblegum shakes her head, "No...not a peep. I really have no idea what's he's up to," she shivers. "Just be careful everybody...if he's got Finn and Rainbow Dash..well...he's on a roll. Marceline smirks, "Heh! Yeah, we don't want that roll to snowball out of control." Fluttershy clempers up into the basket, a muffler wrapped around her neck. "This is..um...going to be some ride.... Pinkie_Pie slurps up some of the snow and ice, smacks her lips a few times, then spits it back out. "Hey, what gives?! This is normal snow and ice! Not whipped marshmallow frosting and peppermint sprinkles like it should be for a candy related kingdom theme!" She gets up on her hindlegs to shake a forehoof threateningly at the sky. "Curse you Ice King!" Robin frowns slightly as he steps into the balloon's basket as well. "Okay... Never been in an airship before... Only one I saw in my home world I only saw briefly before it fell from the sky." After a brief pause, he adds, "Of course, it was attacked by a dragon." Twilight_Sparkle furrows her brows a little. "So, you'd say it seems like something is possibly manipulating the Ice King from the outside, rather than him just doing his usual sorts of trouble causing?" Jake says, "Well, AlLLllllll aboard! Next stop, the Ice King's palace and the Ice King's butt, which will be kicked all over said palace! Hey, you ponies kick butt, right? We needs lots of butt-kickers! Princess Bubblegum shakes her head to Twilight, "Usually he conforms to some logic of basic character flaw...but I have no idea this time and I don't like it!" "Simon's always being manipulated by that crown. It's what gives him his powers." Marceline explains as she floats into jakes basket, "Like P-Bubs says, he usually plays by his own rules, but, something's really gotten him riled." She holds her hands up and shrugs, "Maybe the crown is going whacko? Or maybe he's just having a fit since he's discovered there's a whole different world full of princesses out there? Simon's... kinda hard to pin down." Princess Bubblegum nods, 'You'd better get going...it's going to get worse the more you wait... Twilight_Sparkle frowns some more. "Well it's not like it's the first time I've dealt with someone hard to pin down," she murmurs, of course making her way with the others as she does so. No one sees her move from one spot to the other yet Pinkie Pie pops up in Jake's basket with everyone else. "Heehee. I like him, he's like a balloon animal in reverse~" Spike hops into the basket, "All ready for Dragon power!" Robin blinks and looks down at Spike, suddenly aware of his presence. "Uhhh... no offense." He then looks up to Princess Bubblegum and nods. "Yeah... no time like the present, I guess." Princess Bubblegum waves a hanky! "Good luck storming the castle!" Marceline waves to Bubblegum, "Keep warm, Peebs! I wouldn't want to come back here and find you all frozen up and tacky!" "And don't get suck to the bottom of anyone's shoe either!" Pinkie Pie shrugs at the others. "What? That's what usually happens to bubblegum isn't it?" Jake retracts his 'moors' which are arms and legs, "Okay little dragon dude, full throttle!" "Aye Aye Cap'n Jake!" Spike take a deep breath and lets loose with his flame, and the Jake Balloon filled with out heroes floats out into the blizzard coming from the distant mountains. "Be careful...." says Bubblegum, watching the yellow balloon disappearing into the storm.... Fluttershy says, "Oh my...um...this is going to be scary isn't it......" Robin is fairly glad he's wearing a hoodie now, and, for possibly the first time, actually raises his hood to cover his head in the cold. This is followed quickly by lowering his hands to get a better grip on the side of the basket as Spike sets them moving with dragon-rocket-power! "Okay, I don't think I particularly like flying under someone else's control," he mumbles before looking over to Fluttershy with a light shrug. "Maybe. Maybe not." Fluttershy says, "Trust me, it is...scary...." she hides below the basket and under a blanket. Twilight_Sparkle says, "You're with all of us Fluttershy. If anything scary happens, we'll be with you!" Pinkie_Pie says, "Can't be any worse than any other Friendship Mission we've been sent on." Spike says, "Yeah, between breaths,"Just remember we're doing this for Rainbow Dash and Finn!" he takes another breath and fires off! The Jake Balloon continues on course." Pinkie_Pie says, "Besides, at least this time we're not in a balloon chasing Rainbow Dash on a tiny cloud with Rarity screaming at the end of a misthrown rope." "And look on the bright side, Fluttershy, I can be scarier than any storm!" Marceline points out with no small amount of pride in her voice, grinning fangedly. Pinkie_Pie grins at Marceline. "Plus she doesn't sparkle." Robin reaches out with on hand to pat Fluttershy. He's not sure where on her he's patting, considering she's under the blanket, then gives Pinkie a bit of an odd look. "You guys have a lot of history together, don't you?" Marceline says, "Nah, I totally burn up." Fluttershy giggles just a little, poking her head out, she looks out over the edge of the basket. "Oh...is that it off in the distance?" She sees a large Grinch-type mountain, a storm raging over it, lightning, etc. :Um...must be.... Jake says, "That's the place alright....get's pretty nasty up there; Finn and I've been there a hundred times, though; nothin' we can't handle!" Marceline says, "The lightning's a bit too melodramatic. Simon's really going all out with this show. It's almost like he's trying to impress someone." Pinkie_Pie giggles. "I bet he gives us a cold reception." Marceline says, "Hahaha! Yeah, he's a total cold shoulder kind of guy." Robin glances at Marceline, having had some experience with a vampire or two in his past, as well. Really, though the first one was quite helpful, so he looks back out over to the mountain. "Well, let's just see what the situation is on ground level, I say." He doesn't seem particularly in the mood to joke around, unlike the others. As Pinkie Pie makes her pun, there's suddenly explosions from below and snow cannon balls begins shooting up from below! Jake yalps, "Hey! What the...!?" he of course can't dodge! Fluttershy suddenly jumps over the side! "I got this!" She spreads her wings and begins catching the snow-cannon balls with her tail, flipping in the air, and sending as many a she can back where they came from with amazing accuracy! Twilight_Sparkle flails for a short moment at the cannonballing. "Yikes!" She rushes to the edge and starts attempting to counter act things by shooting heated beams from her horn, attempting to aim at some of the balls of snow. Pinkie_Pie ducks down for a moment as a snow-cannonball whizzes by. "And here comes the snowjob. Fortunately," in a flagrant defiance of physics she pulls a snowshovel out of her mane, "I hid a snowshovel in case a snow emergency came up." She pops out and swings the shovel to smack giant snowballs away. "Nice throw, Fluttershy!" Marceline blinks at the snow cannonballs heading towards the balloon, "How the heck'd he train those penguins to do that?" She wonders aloud as everybody starts to do their best to handle the attack. She's especially impressed by Fluttershy, though, going from Zero to Hero that fast when she was hiding under blankets just a few seconds ago is really impressive, "Sweet moves, Fluttershy! Teach 'em how to play 'ice'! Heheh!" Robin grips the side, worried he might ahve to go into action allready... but then Fluttershy of all people... er, ponies jumps in without a second thought! "Uhhh... good job, Fluttershy!" he says, feeling like he's really only good for cheerleading now. He then looks at Pinkie with her giant shovel. "Good thinking." The Snowballs keep coming up and the heroes on the balloon manage to fight through them; when Jake announces, "Okay, everybody hold tight! This is out stop!" Once Fluttershy is back aboard, he rolls up into a huge rubber ball and drops like a stone! The bounce-bounce-bounces across the tundra, coming to a stop at the base of the Ice King's palace! He then returns to normal shape! Other people make freak out at the sudden drop and roll inside a crazy rubber dog, but Pinkie Pie is "WHEEEEEE!" the entire time for the crazy thrill-ride that it is. Up until he unrolls and they're left sprawling into the snow. Holds up one hoof. "Best. Landing. EVER!" Bouncing back to her hooves on the last exclamation and shaking the snow off her head. Inside the Ice Palace, the Ice King cackles, looking into a magic snowball. "Hahhahhahah, this is just great! Haha, my plan is working out perfectly!" he laughs, looking to Finn and Rainbow Dash. Dash is in a snow bird-cage, hanging from the ceiling. Finn is just hanging upside down like a Wampa victim. Jake High-fives Pinkie Pie; or the equivalent. "You rock, Pony! We totally gotta hang out!" Fluttershy's eyes are spinning..."Um..was that really....necessary....? Finn shakes his fist, "You'll never get away with this, Ice King!" He wiggles his feet, "I'd stop you right now! If...uh...only all the blood wasn't rushing to my head...making me dizzy...and...oh yeah...this thing with my feet." x_x Robin says, "Wait, what're you do-" And then they drop. As he's enclosed by rubberized Jake he looks about in a near panic himself, and when they are let out, he stumbles to drop down to his hands and knees to get his bearings again. Once he doesn't think the world is spinning around him, he just looked up at Pinkie Pie with a look of 'are you serious?' before standing up again. He considers casting a resist elements spell, but decides it's possibly best to save his few spells he can cast in a day in case of another need. Marceline manages to stabilize herself and just kind of 'float' in the middle of Jake's bouncing ball while everybody gets thrown around before finally everything comes to a stop. She claps, "That was a pretty nice landing, I've gotta say." Then she looks around at everybody else, "Everybody else good?" She lightly grabs Fluttershy's head to stabilize the spinning, "Whoa, easy there! Deep breaths, Fluttershy. In and out." Ice King spins on one foot and floats over to Finn, "Oh, Finn Finn Finn," he shakes his head, 'I'm totally getting away with this; it's my best plan ever!" Rainbow Dash chihuahua growls, "Finn's goona be th least of your problem when I get out of here...you...you....what ever you are!" "Aww, c'mon, dude! You said that about the last five plans!" Finn complains, "And stop facing that way, you're really messing me up, I can't tell which way is up anymore." @_@ Twilight_Sparkle shakes her head a little in reaction to the chaotic landing. "Whoa...well...well...not the WORST landing I've been in. Everyone ok?"" Pinkie_Pie bumps a hoof to Jake's paw. "We can have a party, and you could turn into a bouncy house, and... uh, we should probably finish the mission first." She picks up the shovel and stuffs it back into her mane. Somehow... Granted, that's probably a lot less weird seeming around Ooo than it is Ponyville. "Now let's find that snow miser and turn up the heat." Robin nods to Twilight and Marceline. "My first real flight on one of these, but not the worst landing I've seen, at least." He looks over to the castle and says, "Alright, let's kick in the door," before he starts trudging over to it. Jake heys! "I have an idea!" He then grows really super small and hops into Pinkie Pie's mane! "I'll be the element of surprise! Whoa! Candy corn!" Spike laughs, "That was awesome Mr. Jake!" he grins, "This mission is...kinda fun..." he muses. At the door, on each side, are two huge mean looking Ice golems with glowing blue eyes! Marceline tilts her head at the ice golems, "Huh, so he didn't use the Penguins for all that. Ha!" Ice King just pat pats Finn on the cheeks, "There'e a method to my madness, boy! This is gonna be so great!" he laughs. One of the Penguins offers Finn some chapstick, he shakes his head, "Nah, I'm cool." The Penguin makes a soft "Wak-Wak." and shuffles off. As Gunther shuffles off, Ice King turns back to his snowball; "Come on, come on, you know you want to..." he says. Rainbow Dash, though, who's been literally hanging with Finn, managed to break off an ice-sickle. "Hey! Human boy!" She spins in her cage, kicking the shard which slams into the ceiling near Finn's feet! *crRrrrRrrrrrrrk* Pinkie_Pie giggles at Jake, though the comical moment is short-lived when they come upon giant ice men guarding. "Oooh, ooh, I know how to handle this!" Pinkie Pie pulls out an oldy time kitchen grinder, giving the handle a few cranks as she points it at the golems. "Back away from the doors, or I'll turn ya into shaved ice! Without any flavoring so no one likes you!" The Snow Golems GrRrrRRrrrr! And come at Pinkie Pie with huge icy fists~! Fluttershy eeks! Marceline casually leans over to Fluttershy, "Did her plan go beyond the 'Taunt them with an Ice Grinder?'" She asks, curious. Robin holds a hand over the center of his chest as the group approaches the ice golems. He's hoping they're not going to be much of a problem, but... no, of course they attack Pinkie Pie. He looks around at the others here and grimaces. No, this is exactly why he's come along. The golems don't seem to be intent to talk at all, which means it's time he got to work. The hand held over his chest twists, and it's like liquid metal comes from there, streaming around him like ribbons. They completely enclose him, seemingly covering every inch before tightening to match her body shape before retracting into the armored top, skirt, boots and bracers of the one and only Steel Valkyrie Strimla. She wastes no time in pulling from seemingly nowhere her greatsword Gnistra and pointing the blade at the golems. "This is your one warning. Stand aside or be cut to pieces." Fluttershy says, "Um...did Mr. Robin just turn into a girl.......?" Pinkie_Pie holds up the grinder!... which doesn't really work when the fist is a lot larger than the device. "Uh!" There's a big POOMF of snow from the fist. And then Pinkie Pie pops up over the golem's shoulder, trying to shove the grinder down on his head. *clnk clnk clnk* But the opening in the device is just way to small. "I knew I should of brought the industrial size." Well, it got them away from the doors? Jake, meanwhile is distracted by all the food, muffins and candy he finds in the poofy pink mane.... "Looks like." Marceline says matter-of-factly, "Maybe that's why he's got a name that can go either way?" She doesn't seem at all phased by the genderswap transformation. Of course, considering the stuff she's seen it probably isn't all that surprising. She continues to just float next to Fluttershy, letting Pinkie and the transformed Robin handle things. It's no fun if she can't see what the other people on the team can do, right? One of the Golems is distracted by Pinkie Pie trying to grind him, he reaches for her tail! The other rawrs and swings at Strimla with its massive ice-berg hands! Jake: I'm never leaving this mane, so cozy...and full of candy...and goodies! is that a cannon? Inside; the Ice King is oblivious that Rainbow Dash has cracked the ceiling around Finn's feet. Ice King is still cackling maniacally at his handy work! "Oh, I knew those Golem's were a good idea...maybe they shoulda been bigger? Naw, just let it go, let it go...." Twilight_Sparkle nods in reply. "That's definitely a new trick, but that's not the important part, she just made a big sword out of no where too! Robin's got magic!" She then tries helping out with the golems. Finn's struggling to open those cracks around his feet farther, it's hard going with being upside down and all his equilibrium off, though. S. V. Strimla leaps to the side as the golem swings down at her, slashing diagonally at its leg as she does so. "Okay, then," she says a bit more quietly this time before she jumps ahead again and runs in with her blade held behind her before making a slashing uppercut. Pinkie_Pie squeaks as she's grabbed by the tail, but by the time the golem pulls her off and holds her up she's giggling again. "Oh, oh, I know this part! This is the part where you say you're going to hug me and squeeze me and pet me and call me George." Taps chin with a hoof. "Though that's a silly name for a pony, and really I'm more of a brushie than a petty. I mean the petty being pet way, not the petty being spiteful way. Hey if I lick you will my tongue get stuck like when I lick the metal poles in winter?" Dash merfs and tries another one! PWING! She sends another icicle like a bullet! "Come on...come on...you can do it, kid!"
The Ice Golem's head explodes with Strimia's attack! It falls back and breaks into pieces! Pinkie's Golem tries to swat her like a bug between it's too hands! Good luck with that! Spike lays into the Ice being's legs with his fire! So, it naturally begins to topple forward! Spike...O.o as he's about to get crunched by his own handy work! Rainbow dash winces, "Dude, are you okay? That had to hurt!" Finn makes a muffled sound and extends one arm, thumb in the air. Rainbow Dash says, "Get me outta here before that wacko guy comes back!" Finn jumps to his feet and quickly rushes over to the ice cage, "Uh..." He looks around, "Come on Finn, think, think, where's Ice King keep the key?" Ice King pops his head around the corner, "By the front door, Finn, I....Hey!" It make look like it's a squish... But then Pinkie Pie just pops up between the big icy hands. "That's way too rough for petting mister!" And then it starts to topple after Spike gets a leg melting. Which makes her tail twitch a few times. "Pinkie Sense for falling objects about to squash someone!" She poinks right out of the icy hands, and grabs Spike as she reaches the ground. Then bounces between the golem's legs so they're on the opposite side of it's falling down. "Tiiiimber!... Wait, do you say that when it isn't a tree?" Finn spins around, "Ah ha! Of course you'd keep it by the front door!" He points at Ice King, "Game's up, Ice King! Now we've got you pinned between me on the inside and them on the outside! Time to give up and come quietly!" With her target dispatched, Strimla turns to the other golem, grinning slightly as she sees Spike taking care of it... then frowning as she sees it toppling, but the frown vanishes as Pinkie gets them out of that situation. "Yeah, I think you can. It's become kinda universal by now." And no, she does not speak with Robin's voice, but a voice that much more fits the body she's currently in. Marceline folds her arms back behind her head, shrugging to Pinkie, "Avalanche?" She suggests, glancing over at Spike for a second to make sure he's okay. S. V. Strimla nods to Marceline. "Yeah, that is better, actually." Ice King akks, "Oh, no! You're supposed to wait for the finale! Dont you know anything?!" he fires some ice bolts at Finn! Spike, meanwhile, hugs Pinkie! "You totally saved me! Thanks Pinkie Pie!" Fluttershy has been holding back, but the Golems are gone and...and..Penguins! "Oh! You are all SO ADORABLE!!" Several of the Penguins look at each other, then at Fluttershy, then they actually start acting bashful, a couple of the ones with huge, dangerous-looking ice axes dropping them to rub at their cheeks shyly while scuffing their feet. "Waaaak? Wak-wak." Twilight_Sparkle looks as if she's concentrating hard on something....her horn's all glowy, but nothing's happening. Pinkie_Pie hmmm. "That would of been better, but the moment is like totally passed now. Let's go find Dashie and Fin while Fluttershy has the penguins at bay." Fluttershy says, "Um...are you okay, Twilight?" O.o" Finn dives for cover, "Whoa!" The ground where he was standing just moments ago turned into a makeshift ice sculpture, "This is the finale, Ice King! We were just pretending to be your prisoners! Rainbow Dash can totally just whirlwind herself out of that cage at any time!" "It's the finale when I say it's the finale, it's my cunning plot!" Ice King throws more ice bolts at Finn, "But you just had to escape early, didn't you?! Typical Finn!" Finn gets caught by one of the ice bolts as he's diving behind the Ice King's throne, falling flat, "Oooof!" . o O (C'mon Rainbow Dash! You can totally break out of that thing, right?) Twilight_Sparkle says, "Yeah, I'm fine, I'm just trying to see if I can work up a magic trick for seeing heat through the ice, but I haven't manged a good mix of magics to make that work."" S. V. Strimla nods to Pinkie and walks up to the door. She plants her feet on the ground before she starts slicing at the door with repeated diagonals. Left bottom to right top, left top to right bottom, etc, trying to cut the door down. When she thinks she might have the door scored enough to be damaged, she sends one foot solidly into the door in the hopes of kicking it in! Rainbow Dash begins to buck and kick and kick! After a few tries, she manages to burst out! "Oh yeah...this ice palace is 20% cooler now! See what I did there?" She shoots out of the cage! Fluttershy nods to Pinkie Pie, "I'll keep all these cuties occupied, you all go in and save our friends! Finn shakes an ice-encased fist in the air from behind the Ice King's throne as Dash finally manages to kick her way free, "Way to go Rainbow Dash!" "Silly Twilight. All we need to do is listen for the sounds of fighting." Pinkie glances down at a forelimb as if looking at a watch that isn't there. "I mean, they've had more than long enough to break out of whatever trap they're stuck in." And with that observation she bounces off inside once the door is being cut open. As Pinkie Bounces, the walls of the Ice palace are like fun-house mirrors! Marceline just kind of poofs into a black mist and coils about through the air before slipping in through one of the windows and weaving her way through the corridors. Fastest way she can figure to get into the Ice Castle without having to hack through a dozen doors. Maybe she can even open some for the rest of the party along the way. (Not that Pinkie seems to need that help.) As Marceline cruises through the castle, she comes across what seems to be a mess of a work station; on the desk is a mass of My Little Pony discs and tapes and some scribbly notebooks and a battered Pinkie Pie Plushie that Marceline recalls was hers when she was a child. S. V. Strimla follows along behind Pinkie with more measured steps, taking care not to slip. "Okay... Now that I'm not fighting, it's really starting to feel cold..." She stows away her sword... somewhere behind her, before making some hand motions as she casts her protection from elements spell, making the cold no longer painful. It's still cold feeling, but she knows it won't actually cause her any harm. As soon as she's done with that, she of course reproduces Gnistra from behind her. "Well, I hope you're right, Pinkie. Heading him off from both sides would be good... but if they could get out, wouldn't they have done it before we were here?" She looks at the funhouse style mirrors to her sides and winces slightly. Reforming herself, Marceline blinks at the discs and tapes, picking up the notebooks and flipping through then and then finally letting her eyes fall on the Plushie. There's like a snapping rubber band in her mind as memories start to flood through her and the whole situation starts to become crystal clear. "Oh no...." Rainbow Dash rockets around the Ice King at dizzying speed as he tries to fire at her, the Ice King Misses! "You're both messing this all up! just get back in your cage, Pony! Finn!" he huffs, dealing with them both is nearly impossible! And that's when the others arrive as Dash and Finn are fighting it out with the crazy old man! Jake, meanwhile, is in a food Coma in Pinkie's mane.... Pinkie_Pie stops for a moment to make a funny face in one of the ice walls. "Because it would totally derail the storyline if they got out too soon," she replies to Robin like it was the most sensible answer as she bounces off again. At least it is to Pinkie Pie and what passes for sense with her. "See?" She waves a hoof as they come to the fight like it proves her point. Finn points to the doorway while knocking chunks of ice off his hand, "See! Cavalry's here! It's time to throw in throw in the towel, Ice King!" He scans the room for his sword while he's at it. The sword's been used to cut up cheese in the kitchen..... "I even have a towel you can borrow to throw," Pinkie Pie chimes in. The Ice King blinks at Pinkie Pie, "Oh...heh...it's you...I remember you..you were her favorite, way back when...." He stops his fighting, his arms falling to his sides. Twilight_Sparkle frowns a bit at Strimla's comments. "Yeah, it IS cold in here," she murmurs. The plushie causes her to raise a brow, however. "That should be more surprising, but... multiverse...I've kind of gotten used to it." S. V. Strimla, looking very much like an anime magical girl(with a giant sword), plants her feet and holds up Gnistra defensively. "It's over, Ice King. You can let us just all walk out, or you can do this the hard way." She blinks as Ice King in fact does seem to give up just because he sees Pinkie Pie, looking quite surprised. She doesn't drop her ready stance, however. Rainbow Dash heys! "Pinkie Pie! Twilight! Spike! You guys found me!" she zooms over and hugs them both, "Am I happy to see you three!" The Ice King just looks to Strimia and laughs a little bitterly. "Oh, it's okay, I'm done...I did what I set out to do..." Pinkie_Pie giggles. "Well I am pretty popular. Just ask the fandom." S. V. Strimla pauses a moment before lowering the tip of her blade. "You... what? What... exactly was your plan again?" she asks with a quite surprised look on her face. Rainbow Dash, spins in the air, "What was this all about, anyway? Kidnapping me for no reason! Creating Blizzards! What the heck!" The Ice King just laughs softly. "I did this all for Marceline...see...I'm a kind of a crazy guy...and one of these days some hero or another, PROBABLY FINN will take me down if I don't just lose it anyway. So...I came across that Pony Toy and I remembered how much Marceline loved it. Then I found out Ponies exist! So...i thought...who'd be the best to look after her whne I'm gone? Or just crazy off my rocker? Ponies! So I set this all up so you Ponies would help her and..maybe be her friend...So you cam beat me up now! My plan totally worked! Hahahahahahahaha!" Dash says "..........." "See!" Pinkie Pie holds a hoof up with vigor. "It totally -was- a Friendship Mission after all!" Fluttershy arrives, surrounded by Penguins...."I knew it!" Twilight_Sparkle blinks lostly. "Yes, what exactly have you accomplished?" She pauses and tilts her head at the responce. "Wait...you did all this...just to make us make friends with her? Why'd you think you even had to go to such effort to get that from us?" S. V. Strimla raises an eyebrow at that, then puts Gnistra away behind her back before walking up to Ice King. After a breif pause, she flat out yells at him, "Idiot! You didn't have to kidnap Rainbow Dash to do that!" She reaches a hand back, looking like she's getting ready to deck Ice King in the face, before she sighs and lowers the hand. She turns away and walks on towards said Rainbow pegasus. "Hey, uh... you okay?" "Duuuh Twilight." Pinkie Pie rolls her eyes. "Because he's crazy. He kinda said that already." Ice King snorts, "Well...I don't always think clearly....well...ever and I'm getting worse....." he then points a finger at Pinkie. "Yes! Yes I am! So...this was the best I could do...I know it's crazy! But...this crown is eating my brain...." Rainbow Dash hmm? "Oh yeah, I'm good," she nods. "You must care for her a lot to go through all that trouble...even if ya didn't have to!" Spike snaps his fingers, then walks over to Pinkie Pie and whispers in her ear...."Psss ss sttst sttstststtstststststst" Twilight_Sparkle frowns thoughtfully at the Ice King. "...was I ever told why he insists on wearing the crown? Is it just because he's the king?" Fluttershy says, "Marceline says it's what gives him his powers...and..um..it keeps him alive....." Twilight_Sparkle frowns all the deeper. "Well that definitely makes it a challenge..." Pinkie_Pie leans over so Spike doesn't have to reach so far up to get her ear. "Oh, of course Spike, I was just getting to that." She whips out her instant-decorating party cannon and fires it off. "Time to put the party in rescue party! And solving a friendship problem party. And make the weird guy feel less lonely so he stops kidnapping people at least until the next episode party too." S. V. Strimla turns to look back at Ice King again, a frown sticking to her face. Somehow, this felt all very anti-climactic to her, and she's not at a loss for what to do. She's very much not used to the whole 'fight against someone, then make friends with them!' dynamic that everyone here seems to be used to. | |
