 A vermillion unicorn colt was wandering about the town of Phonyland, taking in all the sights and sounds as he explored his new enviornment. There were unicorns like him, earth phonies, pegasi, and even flutters. Some of them seemed to have families, but a lot of them, like himself, had been born of the factory. Not that Hard Truths minded. He wasn't sure what he'd do with a family. Watching other families interact made him curious, though, and he wondered what it would have been like to know brothers and sisters. Even if some phonies didn't have families, they still often treated each other as such, he'd noticed.Ruriska ((I hope this is okay! Please let me know if there's anything I need to change!))

“Hey you!”The strident voice, if Hard Truths cared to discover, belonged to a girl currently located halfway up a tall tree nearby. Judging by the lack of wings and the ladder, she’d gotten up the hard way and now she was precariously balanced on a branch that looked keen to snap any second. “Hey, stop gawking… hand me that rope!” A coiled piece of rope was resting against the tree where she’d dropped it on her way up.

Hard Truths' ears perked and he turned to see the filly balanced on a branch. Though he dared not say so, the idea that she had managed to climb as high as she had on her own rather impressed him. However, her tone, orders, and the fact that she currently seemed to require assistance quickly dissolved that impression into contempt. He glanced to the rope.
"...And why would I want to do a thing like that?" he asked haughtily, trotting toward the tree and foal.

"Uh, 'cause I told you to, duh."Shrill X rolled her eyes at his tone and re-positioned herself on the branch, making it wobble alarmingly. If she was going to pull off her amazing stunt she was going to need him to get a move on. If only her siblings hadn't been too busy to help out.

"And you expect me to do whatever you tell me just because you said so?" the unicorn asked, casting the filly an incredulous look. At the corner of his vision, though, he was eyeing the precarious branch critically. "What are you trying to do, anyway? Reenact the events of 'Rock-a-bye Babby'?"
Going over to the rope, he picked it up in his mouth, refused to get it over to her just yet.

The look she gave him suggested that, yes she did indeed expect him to do as he was told. Shrill X stared at him for a moment and then gave a very large, exaggerated sigh. "Don't make me come down there." She threatened. And if you must know, I'm making a flying fox, sort of... or a bungee, we'll see how it goes.."

The unicorn colt returned the stare contemptuously. After a moment, though, he lifted his front hooves to brace himself against the trunk, supporting himself on his back legs as he held the rope out to her.
With his mouth free once more, he said, "Don't get the wrong idea; I'm only doing this to watch you make a fool of yourself. No one in their right mind would attempt something like this with a mere rope. The idea is to use something a little more elastic."

Shrill X managed to take the rope off him without falling off her branch and then she sat back, pondering exactly what to do next. To be quite honest, she hadn't thought any further than this but now that she had an expectant audience, she couldn't not do something fantastic. "The idea is to shut up and watch how amazing I am." She retorted as she began to tie her rope around the branch.

"Positively inspiring," he mumbled under his breath, rolling his eyes. "Just be sure the bough doesn't break before you secure that rope, because I'm not going to catch you when you fall."
He blinked as he watched her, his horned brow furrowing deeply. "What in Phonyland do you think you're doing?! Tie it to the trunk, you ninny! That branch was already weak to begin with!" Hadn't it been threatening to snap under her weight just a few minutes before?

With a sharp and annoyed intake of breath, Shrill X stopped what she was doing and stared down at the other Phony. "Does it look," she began slowly, as if she was talking to an idiot (which was exactly what she thought he was), "like I can reach around the truck? No? That's because I cant. So shut up. The branch is fine." It wasn't fine at all. It definitely didn't seem to be holding her weight well.

"Why, you insolent - ! Here! Hold on a minute!"
Though Truths made a point not to use his magic unless he needed to, this seemed to be one of those times. Concentrating hard on the end of the rope, he attempted to undo the knot the white filly had done.
This was trickier than it sounded because not only was he still somewhat inexperienced at using his magic but he had to be careful not to jerk the rope while it was still tied in the case it happened to snap the skinny branch.
With a good deal of effort, he finally managed this before taking the time to snake the thing around the tree trunk. Finally, he did his best to secure it with a knot, but this was difficult as well since he didn't have it right in front of him and couldn't tighten it to his liking.
Chest heaving with the amount of strain he'd put himself through, the colt wiped the sweat from his horned brow with the back of his hoof before panting a response. "There. Now...now you can...hang yourself to your liking. ...At least...it won't be...my fault," he breathed, seating himself in the grass.

Shrill X did not look impressed. In fact, she looked downright annoyed that he had interfered in her business. However, she was also secretly relieved. The colt had given her an excuse not to go along with her plan, a plan she’d never really had in the first place. "It’s ruined." She declared. “"There won’t be any stunts today.”"

"..." There was a pause.
"WHAT?!" the unicorn colt cried in outrage, jumping to his unsteady hooves. "After all that work I did, you decide you don't want to - ?! ARGH! I should string you up and leave you swinging from that very branch! What a fickle, pesky filly you are! I don't use my magic for just anyone, you know!" he hollered up at her, too tired to do much else.
Sinking back to the ground with a sigh, he wearily leaned against the tree trunk. "Hmph...girls..."

Kitomyx wait, this is honesty right? I'd better have her admit something soon xD "What ever." Shrill X responded with a roll of her eyes. Leaving the rope where it was she climbed off the tree, onto the ladder and then to the ground. "It's not like I asked for your help or anything." She stood watching him, cheeks slightly puffed out in annoyance. He looked pretty tired and she maybe felt a little bad since he'd put so much effort into helping. "Hmph boys. You're all so dramatic."

"I suppose you didn't," he conceded, wondering what had possessed him to use his magic in the first place. He should have just let her learn from her own lessons. Assuming she had lived to learn, of course.
"You were the one who claimed you would perform some 'amazing' stunt, then made a fuss over my efforts securing the rope, telling me I ruined it, and you're calling me dramatic?" Truths snapped. "What a hypocrite."
He got up. "You know what? I don't need to put up with this. Just don't go telling anyone how I worried for your safety and we'll be just fine," the unicorn called over his shoulder, turning to go. "I know I won't."Ruriska ((It can be whatever you want or nothing at all. XD We can always do more rps. I'd hate for you to have to force something just to fit an element, but it's up to you~! I don't know Shrill X well enough to know if she would choose to be honest about being secretly relieved/not having a plan.))
