[ ic post: juusting is the newest olympic sport ]
so instead we're going juusting...
(aka joint post with cocona for route will be here eventually)
[ The camera is actually a bit shaky today - apparently one of Maria's Pokémon is holding it, but doesn't seem to be a very good camera man. Oh well, the shot is still clear enough to see what's going on in the distance - two lolis sitting on respectively a Ponyta and a Rapidash, with fishing poles in their hands (their own or mooched off friends (definitely the latter in Maria's case)) facing each other. Seems pretty familiar, doesn't it?
Lesson learned: don't show dangerous things off on the network when little kids are watching. ]
Uu-! Cocona, Cocona, are you ready yet for the juusting?
Yeah! [ The other loli waves her fishing pole a bit. She agreed to do this, but using her batons would have been a bit too much, so!
Besides, this was definitely a fun way to spend time with her friends. Totally. ]
I'm ready for juusting!
[ Of course, it's just a random fun game! Like tag, or hide and seek.. or in this case-- mispronounced jousting. ]
Kyakyakya, Maria won't give up no matter what happens! [ A determined nod. ] Uu-, Maria's going to count down now..! Ready.. Set.. Uu-!
[ 'Uu-!' is a completely acceptable replacement for go, and so her Ponyta starts dashing forward. ]
Let's go! [ Cocona's Rapidash snorts and dashes forward also while Cocona has the fishing pole in hand. She was used to riding on the back of her Pokemon, but not to attack in any way, so she tries to keep her balance while holding onto her pokemon with a hand. ]
[ Maria's sense of balance isn't actually that good yet; she hasn't sat on her Ponyta much yet while it was actually running, to she somewhat clings onto the Pokémon for her life while trying to balance the fishing pole at the same time. She does manage to do so for a good while, but just when the two Pokémon get close enough to each other she loses her balance and accidentally drops the fishing pole on the ground. In fact, she almost falls off the Ponyta too, but manages to cling on at the last moment. ]
U.. uu-... [ At that dejected sound Maria's Ponyta grinds to an immediate halt as well. ]
[ Cocona's Rapidash was going at a full force, so when they see Maria and her Ponyta suddenly stopping, Cocona tries to withdraw her fishing pole and it narrowly misses Maria's face. THAT WAS A CLOSE ONE... ]
B-Boo... [ Cocona hops off her horse and runs to where Maria is after dropping the fishing pole. ] Maria, are you okay?
[ She actually doesn't really seem shocked about the fishing pole only missing her face by a bit, she seems to be more dejected about her own pole having been dropped as she slowly slips off her Ponyta. ]
Uu-, it fell... Maybe juusting is a little harder than Maria thought. Cocona and Maria sh--
[ Maria's sentence isn't finished, as the Pokémon holding the camera device seems to have decided to turn it off for now after one last shake of the screen. ]
