revenance_rpg | 5. My Little Bolin

WHO: Bolin & OPEN
WHERE: Ponyville
WHAT: Going to explore the world that his friends all talked about.
WHEN: Shortly after the portal opened (and after he's caught up on sleep)
WARNINGS: TBD...

He hadn't been a big fan of the large, metal ship. It wasn't fun to be in a place where you couldn't use your bending and everything was so over his head and scary with the invisible, creature thing attacking at random. It was why Bolin had been so excited to check out Ponyville. He'd heard about it from Luna, Rarity, and others of course and there world hadn't sounded SO bad. In fact, he was kind of looking forward to it. Plus, he knew what to expect since Master Eraqus had gone first.

Although, even if he was ready for it he was still a little nervous. What if it hurt? Or what if once he went there he wouldn't change back? The others had stayed ponies...but then again Bolin supposed they were originally from that world. It hadn't taken him long to decide his curiosity was going to win out and had set out for Ponyville.

And as soon as he was on the other side of the portal tripped over his own hooves and did a rather nice roll across the grass. He eventually came to a stop, Mako Jr. and Pao, chasing after him. Bolin crashed into a nearby tree and fell onto his back, staring up at the gorgeous blue sky. "Ow. Okay, yeah, that's a LOT harder than Rarity and the others make it look."

Pao bent down and nipped at Bolin's ear. "Right, you're right, they were walking on all four hooves all of their lives just like I was walking on two. That makes sense. I just have to practice like anything else." Bolin wiggled and finally rolled over. He was curious as to what kind of pony he looked like. They didn't have ponies where he was from so all he had to go by was what he had seen from Rarity, Luna, Celestia, and Pinkie. Bolin looked over his shoulder and noticed that his body was now a light green color. He had no wings and he couldn't feel a horn on his head so he assumed he was a pony like Pinkie Pie, an earth pony (which made sense to him). He tilted his head a bit more and saw that the mark on his hind quarters consisted of a dark brown earth disk, similar to what he used in the Pro-Bending arena. "Cooool," he marveled.

It had taken Roxas a long while to get used to walking, but he was managing to wobble from place to place and that was a start. Bouncer would walk beside him sometimes to keep him upright. Flipper wasn't much help in that regard.

However, Roxas had felt he'd had enough of being a pony for one day, and had been starting to head back before he saw someone else shoot out of the portal. Bouncer bounded over to say hi first, leaving Roxas to wobble a bit before toppling over at the unexpected departure of his support. He recovered quickly though.

It took him another minute to figure out who was in front of him but eventually the spirit with the scarf clued him in.

"Bolin?"

Bolin tore his gaze away from his rear end (which in retrospect might have been a pretty odd thing to be staring at) and tilted his head up to see another pony. He hadn't tried standing again mind you, so he did have to look up. At least he hadn't seen Bolin on his back...or so he hoped.

"Yep, it's me, good ole Bolin." He pauses and tilts his head. Unfortunately for Roxas, Bolin is not as good at picking up on clues. "And...you are..."

Roxas had been more focused on going forward, and looking behind wasn't really an option yet. Not until he was a little more steady. It was nice to find a familiar face here, sort of.

"It's me, Roxas. Kinda hard to tell I guess."

"Oh!" He squints at the pony and then slowly starts pushing himself up to his hooves. "Yeah I can see it now. Hey Roxas!" He smiles as he gets back up. His legs are still shaky but he manages to remain standing at least. "Pretty neat, huh? Have you been here long. I haven't actually had a chance to look around yet."

If Roxas were feeling a little more confident, he'd go help but since he's still in the hobbling phase, it wouldn't really help to have both of them fall over.

"I think it's pretty weird, personally. I was just heading out, but I can stick around if you want. This place is kinda homey."

Bolin didn't seem at all phased by Roxas's low enthusiasm. "Well sure it's weird but it can still be fun. Luna and the others told me all kinds of cool things about this place. It can't be that bad." Bolin turned, slowly, towards the village of Ponyville. "The only way to get past the weird is to stick with it. I won't force you or anything, but I at least want to check out the town."

"I guess I'll come with you. There's still nightmares in this place. Bouncer and Flipper had to take care of most of them. I'm still not sure how to fight like this."

Summoning the keyblade had been one thing, using it another. It was amazing how one took hands for granted sometimes.

Pao and Mako Jr perked up at that and Bolin dropped his head at the same time. "Oh man. This place sounded so nice...guess I should have known there would be Nightmares here too." He huffed but quickly perked up again, pawing the ground and decided to start trotting towards the village. "Guess we can only practice that too."

"Something tells me we're not getting away from them anytime soon," Roxas replied, following Bolin at a slow pace. There was no way he was ready to try trotting yet.

"I'm not even sure how ponies fight."
