32nd Lance ↟ | Not a Seraph Knight! [Visual, part 1 backdated to during invasion, part 2 to 27th]

[neighfeni]

[The 19th:]

[It's shortly after the blizzard starts, that some rumors circulate that rainbow explosions have been seen again, and that one of the ponies that vanished is back. Weeeell, those rumors, and some others, are definitely founded, as the feed goes live on the scrolls. One Nephenee pops up, her head only in view, and she grins sheepishly.]

Uh...hiya, everypony...Ah'm back. Sorry for worryin' y'all...but Ah'm fine! For those who don't know me, Ah'm Nephenee..Ah help run the Commune, though Ah kinda got pulled into another world for a bit. Again. An' Ah brought a few friends with me this time...

[She motions to something, or someone, off-camera.]

Chrys, Myri, come over here.

[A large, yellow, extremely fluffy sheep pokes her head in the frame, as does a steely blue diamond dog, both looking curiously at the sheet of 'paper'.]

This is Chrysanthemum [A bleat..was that an electric charge you just saw? Nah, probably nothing.], an' Myrddin [The dog takes after his namesakes well, barking happily with a wagging tail.]...we met in a place called Kalos, in one o'them worlds with Pokémon, so Ah'm the trainer for these two.

Uh..that ain't the only thing that changed, though...

[The visual pans out, and the thing apparent to those familiar with her is...well, the wings she now has!]

Ah uh...seem to have wings now. Don't know why, but Ah do.
...If..somepony could help me learn to use these darn things after this darn blizzard's over, Ah'd sure appreciate it.

[She looks off-screen, rubbing the back of her neck, while one wing flares out without so much as a by-your-leave from her.]

...Somepony should really tell Cálice or whatever makes us be certain things here Ah'm a Sentinel, not a Pegasus Knight...

[The 27th:]

[After the insanity of all that, Neph's had a chance to try to get some flight practice in, and to try to relax and help others do the same. But it seems there are those that were hit hard by the Windigos' spell, so after some talking and brainstorming with Lethe, the mare pops up on the scrolls, wrapped up in the blanket Morgan gave her for an anniversary.]

Boy, Ah sure am glad them Windigos are gone...hopefully things'll be quiet for a bit.

Ah was talkin' with Lethe, an' we figured that folks could use somethin' to help 'em unwind a lil'...an' Arcee gave me an idea at the party. Why not have a lil' get together at my house, with pillows an' blankets an' snacks? We could make lil' 'forts' with 'em an' jus' hang out an' stay warm. Wanted to see who'd be up for that.

Also, now that it ain't super windy, Ah'd like to try to learn to use my new wings. [She forces one to peek out from under the covers, just barely visible. Darn muscles.] Ah've been tryin' to get them movin' when Ah want 'em to, but the new muscles are real weak. Most o'the time, they jus' pop out when they feel like it. An' Ah probably should try to get in some trainin' soon, too.

[Nephenee winces as she tries to fold the wing back in, and frowns.]

...Maybe not today on the lessons an' trainin', though. Ah reckon Ah need to go to the spa for a spell...

[tsunpony]

I'm putting together a training session, more like a training camp for those who are trying to get used to their bodies, as well as utilizing spells and abilities. If you want to come along, it'll be next week or so.

[neighfeni]

Um...what day next week? Ah..jus' realized that's around the 2nd...an' Ah've got some important plans...

[Dead Dad Day. :c]

Re: visual

[tsunpony]

We can make room for that if you need it.

[visual] Part 2

[tsundere_catgirl]

You didn't have to mention my name you know...

[Great... now people were going to associate her with broken paws and pillow forts.]

If anyone asks, I came up with the snacks, and you came up with the forts.

[Even though Lethe is constantly buried in mountains of blankets and pillows. Nephenee can get away with that association better.]

[visual] Part 2

[neighfeni]

What? We came up with it together, Ah can't take all the credit!

[It's ok, Lethe, Neph's broken plenty here.]

[tsundere_catgirl]

That's... not exactly the issue at hand here.

[Nephenee... plz...]

[kuukai]

Ya got what?!

[ Look who sort of misses wings. ] Huh. Look, it took me some time too. Ya just gotta practice.

Have a unicorn on hand in case ya fall an' break all yer legs.

[neighfeni]

Believe me, nopony's more surprised than me. Shocked me so bad Ah plum fell outta a tree Ah landed in when Ah came back!

[But she gets a little, mischievous grin.]

Reckon it'd be kinda hard to have one on hand, on account o'me havin' hooves.

[Neph, you smart ass.]

Does a magick earth pony boyfriend count?

[kuukai]

[ Kyouko rolls her eyes. ] Tha' counts. An' hey, ya used ta have hands. Some of us still with hands can use the expression.

[ She wiggles her own dextrous digits, in order to prove her point. ]

[neighfeni]

Kinda miss those.

Hm, Ah wonder what's the best way to train 'em to handle more weight...what were ya doin?

[kind_to_all]

Oh, Nephenee, that's wonderful! You should be so proud...

[strengthinkindness]

Mm...it can be difficult building the wing muscles for flying...especially for grown pegasi, since it'll take more wing power to lift a full grown pegasus.

I can...help a bit, if you'd like... [She has taught baby birds to fly.] Rainbow Dash might be a better teacher, though...

27th [Visual]

[theytookmypants]

Well...it's been almost a decade since I last had'em, but I still remember how to use a pair off wings...

[He smiles softly. There might be a pang there.]

If you need an extra couch, I'd be happy to teach ya some sweetheart. At the very least I can make a damn good safety net with my shadows.

[frozenmemories]

[Now that she's calmer then when everything was going on, Cirno had been pretty quiet but this caught her interest.]

Forts? It sounds like a lot of fun.

[Although the warm part makes her hesitate. She knows her nature well.]

I know it's supposed to be get warm but..I can turn down my cold if I stick around for it.

[Visual]

[stormbroken]

[When she answers, Flare might be pointedly looking away from the scroll.]

Keep Myrddin a safe distance away from me, and I'll help with the training.

I don't... I don't do well with diamond dogs. I'm trying to get better about it, but it's slow going and I don't wanna hurt one of your friends.

27th [visual]

[aura_spear]

I would certainly be up for training whenever you're ready. [She doesn't mind waiting, though. She's still getting used to being warm again herself.]

27th - Visual

[twotailedgenius]

I'm actually trying to learn to fly better myself, though mostly in combat situations rather than just flying. [He's gotten a lot better at just flying thanks to the blizzard...]

I might make a quick broadcast asking for help soon. If you wanna come with, let me know.

Nephenee! [Bertie's a bit... stuck at the moment out in his and Dante's cave in the Everfree, but sight of the mare has him up on his hooves and staring wide-eyed at the scroll. He's not been feeling the effects of the Windigos as keenly as some, though he is a bit shorter than usual.]

Nephenee! [Shock and joy turns to annoyance.] I say! It's all well and good to go gallivanting off to Mr. Gwen's home town, but what the devil do you mean by all this back-and-forthing nonsense? It doesn't leave a fellow half out of his head with worry that he might never see you again.
