Act 4 - Colorhoof, Colorhoof rides again.

[worldinagrain]

Rin apparently needs a little more assistance than usual, although she's making do with a high trolley to rest her front lack-of-hooves on and roll around with.

Wait, lack of hooves?

Yeah, apparently she's a pony too. It's pretty convenient, actually: she just tilts her head down and noms on a carrot as she goes about her business. Apparently Cambot thinks this is worthy of a broadcast panning shot and some theme music.

She turns to the camera, finishes crunching up her carrot, and smiles. "I had a craving," she said. "So, what do your marks mean? Mine is apparently a drop of cloudy blue paint."

Cambot pans and zooms: she brings her flank into position to make the blue paint blotch with clouds more visible.

Pinkie Pie says it has something to do with your special talent.

Assume she's still a pony when I respond.

[worldinagrain]

I had gathered. So painting. Or thinking of clouds. Or painting what thinking about clouds looks like.

Do you have one?

no problem~

[eroded_earth]

I do.

[He gestures with his head and cambot pans out a bit to show that Terra has what could either be a mountain range or a pile of rocks]

I think it has something to do with my affinity for earth magic or possibly a representation of my strength.

[eyeofwildtiger]

Mine's a tiger, for my name, I guess.

[worldinagrain]

Fierce. Fluffy. Striped.

[eyeofwildtiger]

Two outta three, anyway.

[optimistickey]

Mine's a crown, like my necklace, so I don't know exactly what it's for.

[worldinagrain]

No idea. What is your necklace for?

[optimistickey]

Well...I dunno if it's for anything! I've just had it for awhile and it's special to me.

[sailorlaughter]

Mine's three balloons! It means I'm reaaaaaally great at throwing parties and making everypony happy!

[worldinagrain]

I am good at painting and thinking cloudy thoughts.

[sailorlaughter]

Those are some of the best kinds of thoughts! Right after cotton candy thoughts. And cupcake thoughts, I mean, DUH!

[beforethemoon]

Mine's a moon, like on my jacket.

[worldinagrain]

Why?

[beforethemoon]

I don't know, because it's on my jacket?

[Or whatever turned him into a pony can see the future]

[punsofiron]

Mine's a d20. If I had to guess I'd say it's because of my love of RPG games.

[Smirk] That's just how I roll.

[worldinagrain]

Rockin'.

[salvagedlight]

I've got a, uh...

[He looks back at his flank. He understands why he's got it, but it's still one of the weirder ones.]

I've got a sparkling tornado.

[worldinagrain]

Do you have any idea why?

[salvagedlight]

I guess it's because I'm good at wind and light magic, at least when I'm at home. And I like the wind, anyway.

[alleyenobrain]

Is there--is there supposed to be one there?

[He frowns at his own, blank aside from the metal seam.]

Must be an organics sort of thing...

[worldinagrain]

Are you a robot? There seem to be a lot of robots here. Not as many robot ponies.

[alleyenobrain]

Yes. Robot, definitely. Few of us around, though, I've seen! All the shiny metal parts still here, regardless of the, the very temporary model changes.

[worldinagrain]

You mean that you're a robot pony right now.

[alleyenobrain]

Well. Yes. Doesn't seem like the technically correct term, but you could sum it up like that.
