This...

Is...

SO COOL!

Look! I have wings! Oh! Pinkie! Pinkie! You've got friends with wings, right? Can you teach me how to use 'em?!

((OOC: Hard to tell in the icon, but his cutie mark is his Wild Tiger emblem... which he's conveniently ignoring at the moment.))

[GASP!] KOTETSU! You're a pegasus pony TOO! Oooh, oooh, come down to the recreation deck! Sora and I set up trampolines!

[eyeofwildtiger]

Wild, huh? Be right there!

[sailorlaughter]

Okie-dokie-lokie! See you soon!

[When he arrives, she's still bouncing on the trampolines, getting quite a bit of air for not actually having any wings.]

[eyeofwildtiger]

Okay... Let's give this a try

[sailorlaughter]

Just flap 'em when you get up high! [Boooooouuuunce] And try not to run into any walls! If you DO, run into that one over there! [Booooounce and point] I put a trampoline under it!

[eyeofwildtiger]

Got any spare pillows or anything? Think I'll be hitting the ground a few times...

[sailorlaughter]

[Booooounce] Um...there's some exercise mats somewhere around here! I'll get them!

[eyeofwildtiger]

Great. Thanks!

[optimistickey]

Yeah, they're totally a lotta fun!

[eyeofwildtiger]

On my way!

[optimistickey]

[Sora's still testing out flying when he gets down there, although by the time he shows up he's gotten the hang of it a little bit more.]

[eyeofwildtiger]

So? What's the trick?

[optimistickey]

[Sora is happily flying around now...a bit wobbly, but not crashing into things as much.]

From what I've gotten, you do the steering part with your wings! Crouching down or jumping to take off helps, too!

[eyeofwildtiger]

How much do you have to flap?

[optimistickey]

To get up you have to flap a lot, not as much to stay there. It'd probably be easier if there was wind here.

[eyeofwildtiger]

Makes sense. [Climbs up on the trampoline.]

[optimistickey]

Yeah, get some height, and then go for it! [Sora continues to practice, flying in a wide circle around the trampoline.]

[eyeofwildtiger]

[Hops a little, grins.] Now you're just showing off.

[optimistickey]

Nah...this is showing off! [And he does a quick loop in the air. The recovery on it isn't that great, but he still doesn it.]

[eyeofwildtiger]

And you've been practicing how long? [Jumps and flaps, managing to hover for a couple moments.]

[optimistickey]

Umm...pretty much since I got down here? [It's flying, he seems to pick it up rather quick.]

[eyeofwildtiger]

[Hovers again] How long has that been?

[optimistickey]

Ummm... [He thinks] I dunno, I lost track. A couple've hours, maybe?

[eyeofwildtiger]

Pretty impressive.

[optimistickey]

You can do it, too! Just practice it!

[eyeofwildtiger]

[He jumps again and stays in the air.] Oh, hey, there goes!

[optimistickey]

[Sora grins.] Yeah, you got it! Keep flapping!

[eyeofwildtiger]

Okay. Let's try getting someplace... [Kotetsu lets himself fall back down, jumps up again, and tries to fly forward.] Oh! I'm doing it! This is... Wait! How do I stop?!

[optimistickey]

Just pull your wings back a little bit! Like you're trying to go in reverse, but not all the way.

[eyeofwildtiger]

[...and barely avoids a collision with the wall.]

[optimistickey]

[Sora winces. Well, he's been doing that some, too...]

Yeah, that seems to happen. Maybe try slower?

[eyeofwildtiger]

Y-yeah. Good plan. Very good plan.

[optimistickey]

[Sora bobs up and down a little bit in midair, too.] You can also control your height a little bit!

[eyeofwildtiger]

[Kotetsu flaps a couple times.] Okay. Think I've got it.

[optimistickey]

[Sora flies around him.] Way to go!

[eyeofwildtiger]

This isn't so bad. [He goes back over to the trampoline to try again.]
