Announcement: The Running of the Leaves [visual]
[When the scrolls flare to life, they flash the below message first, accompanied by Official Canterlot Trumpets that sound suspiciously like a baby dragon playing a toy trumpet. Pay no mind to this!]

[Next, a baby dragon holding a toy trumpet that he quickly chucks off screen does appear. He waves with a smile.]
Hi, everypony! My name's Spike, and I'm the official assistant to Princess Twilight Sparkle and Twilight Sparkle. [He puffs himself up for a moment.]
I'll be the announcer for the annual Running of the Leaves, and I wanted to invite all of you to participate! [He holds up a claw and closes his eyes as he recites.] The Running of the Leaves is one of the most important races in all of Equestria. Every year, ponies across the land gallop through the forests, shaking loose the autumn leaves. Without this, they'd stay up there and then how would we get pumpkin pie in the fall?! E-hem! I mean, it's vital to changing the seasons in Equestria outside the Everfree Forest.
The lovely officiator will be our very own Princess Twilight Sparkle and the first, second, and third place winners will receive awesome prizes! Everypony's important, though. We need all of Equestria, newpony and native to help out. As a thanks, all participants will receive one of these really cool certificates, signed by Princess Twilight Sparkle, herself!
[He holds up a certificate with official thanks and a line for a pony's name along with a signature line for Twilight. Curiously, there also appears to be a drawing of a buff purple and green dragon in one corner, shaking a tree whilst a white and purple unicorn with blue diamonds on her flank watches on in awe. He notices this after a moment and quickly crumbles up the certificate, cheeks going pink.]
Uh! I-I mean, I'll find the certificates later. Um! If you've got any questions, I can totally answer them!
[OOC: The race post itself may be found HERE.]

C-controlling a balloon? Well, that sounds just the sort of thing, old bean. I'm certain I can sort that out.
[The question was how many times would they crash before that happened?]

[visual]
Bertie. How do you do?
[visual]
See you tomorrow, Bertie!
[Visual]
I mean, I'm in anyway, but still.
[Visual]
The prizes are going to be a lot cooler than that. Ten times cooler, at least!

[From Offscreen, but she can be clearly heard]
Spike, do NOT answer that question! It's supposed to be a surprise!
[Visual]
[She places a hoof over her heart, trying to look as stern and serious as possible and failing miserably.]
[As offscreen as Princess Twilight]
no subject
Aw, c'mon, Twi! Somepony should know! They're so cool! How can you keep quiet?
no subject
no subject
[And mock outrage is a go.]
no subject
And you can't tell anyone about it. Okay, Spike?
no subject
Sorry, Vinyl. I promise they'll be the best prizes we've ever had for the Running of the Leaves, though!
no subject
[She leans in closer the the scroll, addressing Spike in a hard half-whisper.]
Just come talk t'me when Princess Killjoy isn't breathin' down your neck, alright?
no subject
Meet me by the balloon at the starting line. I'm not sure I'll be able to get out before then.
no subject
no subject
I'm just joking, Twilight. My lips are sealed!
no subject
[And a wink. Well, it might be a wink, it's kinda hard to tell.]
Welp, guess I better get movin'. All this chit-chat's usin' up my valuable racing energy. Catch you folks on the flip-side.
[With that, she grins, gives a small mock-salute, and closes her scroll.]
no subject
[He does smile though.] A race does sound like a lot of fun. It's been too long since I've been in one. I'm in.
no subject
As for the race, that's going to be the funnest fun! [He points to himself with his thumb, grinning.] Princess Twilight let me help organize it, so I made sure of it!
no subject
Sounds good. Wait... Princess Twilight? How many princesses exist in Equestria exactly? [He met the unicorn Twilight, but not the princess. He also missed the time both Twilights spoke over the scrolls. Also, he doesn't know about Princess Cadence either.]
no subject
And there are four princesses! So far, anyway. Princess Celestia, Princess Luna, Princess Cadence, and Princess Twilight! Twilight only became a princess recently. It's why she's got wings now. Only princesses are alicorns in Equestria. You've gotta show you're the right one for the job, too! [He looks incredibly proud as he says all this.]
no subject
I would imagine becoming an alicorn would be pretty hard to do. [It certainly sounded impressive.]

[Which was two times, but as far as Tails is concerned, that's two too many.]
