[Open] Another day where I think I'm giving up the fight

Who: Fluttershy and anyone who happens to be around
When: Mid-April
Where: Anywhere on school grounds
What: There's a duel happening, and Fluttershy is trying to keep tabs on it.

While it seemed like a normal day at the academy - as normal as a school of magic could be, anyway - every once in a while some students may feel a slight rumble through the ground. Or they might hear the faint clang of metal against metal, or catch sight of a tail or dorsal fin before it disappears back under the ground.

Some rather unlucky students might even be startled by the blade of a sword or the point of spear suddenly jutting up from the earth nearby, but those too disappear back underneath the earth.

And as quickly as the moment comes it's gone, and the grounds are still once again, for the moment at least. But soon after they might come across Fluttershy. She seems to be making her way quickly, though stops every so often to glance around.

And when she notices someone nearby, she heads over to ask, "E-Excuse me...I don't mean to bother you, but...have you seen a whale or dolphin pass by?"

She's not bothering him, though his default expression is stern enough that you could possibly think otherwise.

"A whale?"

There's a note of mild confusion in Isa's voice, though it's confusion that passes quickly. He's seen strange enough things in this school by now, and knows of even stranger things back home that the idea of a whale swimming through a school is probably only slightly strange at best.

"No, I haven't seen a whale or a dolphin..."

Whale + Fluttershy = Ballet!

"Is Ballet in trouble?" Webby asked, turning her head - she thought she heard something off, but hadn't been entirely sure given that the academy itself was... well, weird.

"... Your sword-fighting magic whale has a rival?"

Dang, Webby LOVES this place.

"I have to see this!"

"... Do they belong to you?" He replied, a sympathetic look on his face.

"I see."

His familiar was just a simple fruit bat, he didn't realize... land whales... were an option.

"I'll keep an eye out for her... I'll also tell my friend Lea to keep an eye out too."

"In order to catch a sword-fighting magical land dolphin, we have to think like a sword-fighting magical land dolphin."

sentences I never thought I'd write for $200, Alex.

"Hmmm... since Ballet is so huge, Tango might try to capture them in a small space to limit his mobility."

"Yes, we've known each other since we were children."

Webby cupped her beak in thought. "... I'm really hoping it's not the library..."

Louie jumps when he hears Fluttershy's voice, only so easily startled because he just had to dodge a dorsal fin - a familiar one, too. Hopefully the girl can forgive him for looking frazzled, even irritated, as he turns to her.

"You mean your familiar? Yeah. I think I just did."

Once he realizes who it is, Cliff can't help but chuckle. "I don't think you could bother me, Fluttershy--but you look bothered. Are you okay? Is Ballet okay?"

Though he realizes also that no, he hasn't seen the land whale anywhere about, which is questionable in and of itself, but--"Dolphin? I haven't seen a dolphin or Ballet at all..." That makes him frown, then.

"Is she in trouble?" Darn it, he liked Ballet, and he didn't want Fluttershy to be troubled either. "How can I help?"

Rounder, who had been spinning calmly nearby up to this point, tugged first on Cliff's robes, then on Fluttershy's, and pointed to himself, clearly indicating that he'd help, too!

"Plus you could push over the bookshelves and trap someone."

A thought she's had plenty.
nomoremistergneissguy: (Say what?)

Oh. Well, that certainly wasn't good. Cliff's brow furrowed, but then Rounder tugged on Cliff's robe again, and he looked down.

Much gesturing ensued, and instead of furrowing further, Cliff's brows nearly hit his hairline. "You can do that?" he asked. The response seemed to be affirmative, to judge by Rounder's flailing.

"He says he can try to follow them underground, but if he runs into rocks he might get slowed, because he has to drill...drill?" The familiar's thumbs-up gesture was unmistakable.

"I can't exactly track him, but...he can try to get our attention if he finds them..."

"Let's go to the library and make sure neither of them are there!"

She's already started running!
