????? [VIDEO | ACTION FOR GOLDENROD]
All right, I think I've got it!
[And there Cynthia is, mugging for the camera as usual. Her Pokemon are there, too, but there's... something new.
Well, a pegasus is kind of like a Pokemon, right? ...Kind of...
And she also has a Killer Lance on her, which]
These weird crystal towers seem like they have something to do with why everything's gotten everything's gotten all funky... I mean, they showed up at the same time and everything!
So, one thing's for certain... I've got to take this thing down!
...I mean, I've been wailing on it for days, and I'm pretty sure I've broken about twenty spears on the darn thing. But this will be the last one!
And I'm going to show it off, because you all are going to want to see this!
[...she takes the camera from its position and holds it in her free hand, because she's nothing if not completely ridiculous. She mounts her horse and can be heard laughing gleefully among the flapping of the pegasus's wings as she takes off from the ground, and the crystal gets closer and closer... until she gets in to range, at which point she yells.]
Killer Lance Knockout Speciaaaaaaaal!
[AND SO SHE STRIKES WITH ALL HER MIGHT... and the spear bounces off with a clang.
It is a loud clang, but a clang nonetheless.]
...Aw, nuts! And I hyped it up so much, too...
[Disappointment obvious in her tone, she gives it another, lighter hit for good measure.
...AND THEN THE CRYSTAL SHATTERS BECAUSE APPARENTLY THIS TIME SHE GETS A CRIT]
...
...
Ha ha ha haaaaaaa~! Yeah, I totally expected that! Who's great? I'm great! Once again, the day is saved, thanks to Cynthia, the Knight of Supreme Crystal-Shattering!
[The feed ends, but she touches down in the area to receive adulation from anyone in the general vicinity.]

[action]
[Who is this asshole in blue spandex and armor. He's got a lance of his own over his shoulders, too. What a weirdo.]
Didn't expect that to work, really.
[action]
[...your fashion sense could use some work, good sir, but she can appreciate a compliment when she comes by one!]
Well... it wasn't easy, but these things always work out in the end! It was a million to one chance, you know.
[action]
[action]
[She notices him trying to get a closer look at the crystal bits, and... you know what? She will too.]
...what were those things, anyway? I mean, I kind of assumed they were bad because everything started getting crazy, but...
[action]
...Can't tell, actually. I don't think I've ever seen anything like this before.
[action]
[action]
[action]
[I USE CRYSTALS IN ALL OF MY DECORATING]
[action]
[action]
...well, most of them.
Anyway, I don't think we've met before! I am Cynthia, the great and powerful... but I think you already knew that.
[action]
[He'll play along, she seems like a nice kid.]
Name's Lancer--pleasure to meet you.
[action]
[wait...
WAIT...]
Oh, you're the Lancer, right? Ilya told me about you!
[action]
[action]
[FINGERGUNS]
...pointers!
[action]
Sure, I could do that. I guess I am kind of an expert, more or less.
[action]
[action]
[action]
[video]
is that a-]
...is that a pegasus?
[video]
SAY HI TO DR. KATO, CONSPICUOUSLY UNNAMED PEGASUS]
She sure is! ...Oh, wait, you probably don't actually have them where you're from, right?
[video]
he really should find this strange
but hell]
Not exactly; they're just mythical creatures, where I'm from. I never actually thought I'd see one in the flesh.
[...this is actually a lot cooler than the Pokemon, in a way, because Pegasi are supposed to just be myths.]
She your pet, then?
[video]
[That second question... makes her cock her head a bit.]
Pet's not a really good word for it. I'd say we're more like partners!
[video]
of course it is]
So what exactly do you...do with her, then? Ride her?
[It's the most logical suggestion, so he's guessing it's incorrect.]
[video]
[SOMETHING... VAGUELY LOGICAL? AMAZING]
no subject
...so what, you're a...Knight of the Pegasus, or something?
no subject
...Pegasus Knight, actually, but you were close!
no subject
...are you telling me that you actually fight on the back of that thing? With what - a spear?
no subject
And yeah! Swords... wouldn't have the reach for it, I don't think.
[action]
ALRIGHT, SO HE WAS IN TOWN AND I MEAN jesus girl what did you do
this he's gotta see in person
maybe pick up a shard while he's at it?
sweet sanat, the thing is just gone]
Formidable indeed...
[action]
[she does a sweet pose.]
Now that I've gotten my pegasus back, nothing can stand in our way!
