Seventeenth (Dual) Spark! Alfred + Rainbow Dash [video]

[empyreanistic]

[The feed starts with Alfred backing away from where he’s set the faciliberry on something high. He stops when his whole body is in view, hands on his hips.

He doesn’t look too good, either: skinny and pale and dirty and generally malnourished.

And now he’s flailing about to get people’s attention, pointing to himself, then at the ground beneath him

[About ten minutes after she said she and Tommy would go the train stops in Hatter's Domain. Alfred will get a wave in greeting from Kate and then a raised eyebrow, followed by a text message]

'So why exactly is every piece of technology you touch exploding? And why did it take you three days to ask for help?'

[A certain speedster is hanging around beside her, when he's not zipping around to look at a cool piece of machinery this or that. He's conspicuously silent, though, as he zips to read Kate's message and add his own.]

yeah dude what happened? and seriously, three days? we woulda been out here in a flash to come get you.

[America would answer. He would! But he can't touch his 'berry. So he just sighs and shakes his head, holding up a glass bottle with a little bit of water left and a food bar. Rationing! He was rationing. No, that doesn't make it any better. Who knows why he waited so long.

And as for why? He mimes the explosions again and just shrugs, looking lost. No idea.]

He's hungry and had too much pride to call. [Dash is just standing by, snickering at the whole thing]

[Kate will just roll her eyes at these shenanigans. Seriously Al, pride is stupid. It seems like a nation should know this]

'Right. That makes sense'. [No it doesn't] 'Let's go then. I bet we have enough teeth for a hamburger if you don't'.

[Even Tommy thinks this is ridiculous, man. He just shakes his head and zips right on over.]

right. come on. if youre stuck here cause you cant touch machines, then ill give you a piggyback ride.

...is the pony coming too? [Holy crap he thinks the pony is adorable. Silly derpy speedster. He will never admit it though.]

[Alfred blinks, pointing at the younger boy incredulously. Then at himself. Carry him?? That would be-- but yeah, nodding, because Dash is coming too]

[adashofrain]

Yeah, I'm coming too. [She shoots a playful glare at America. She was promised some sort of food that sounds like of good. Even if she won't eat it once she finds out it's meat]

'I seriously doubt you can carry him, Tommy. Just don't touch anything as we board the train'. [She leans over and picks up his 'berry for him, since he can't carry it without it exploding]

'Let's go' [Heading for the train now, woo]

[Alfred points balefully at the teacups spinning in the distance. That's why he can't get away. He has to be carried]

i can too carry him! ffs kate, im a speedster. i got this. seriously dude, get on.

[Well, he does have some degree of superhuman strength, being a speedster. Most of it is in his legs, but still.]

[More seriously dubious looks but hey, maybe not eating made him lose weight! He's not fat, just tall and muscular and that weighs. But sure. Getting up on Tommy's back, he's all for it! Not the most gracefully but he manages]

[Dash just snickers, watching this] He doesn't even need a saddle.

[artemisaim]

[Kate would laugh at the saddle comment if she could but instead she just smiles and shakes her head a bit]

'You would be the worst pony, Shepherd'.

[notaspeedyhobo]

[He's maybe a little heavier than the people Tommy usually carries around, but he can at least manage. It'll slow him down, but a 'slowed down' Tommy is still basically a blur. He manages to free up one hand for texting as he jogs after Kate.]

shut up, no laughing. i dont see either of you being able to carry him! if you wanna make fun, we can just go on ahead. [Clearly that means you should praise his manliness.]

[Alfred is mildly uncomfortable but he's grinning, looking back over his shoulder at Dash]
