The Shadows we Live

As if on cue, Pinkie's tail started spinning like a helicopter rotational wing, her ears flopped down against her head in unison, her eyes shut tight then burst wide open and she jittered back a good five feet. "PEACOCK!" Just three seconds later, a colorful Peacock landed between the two and started running, followed by a determined looking pegasus. The race took off down the Canterlot streets until the pegasus was struck by an ice cream cart that was rolling uncontrollably down the hill. Pinkie just looked towards the scene of minor chaos and blinked a bit as the Pegasus recovered. "Usually Spinny tail, eye shutting, bright eyes and five foot shakey shake means the Peacock is about to attack somepony." She then felt her ears and shook her head so they popped back up. "Oh Spinny tail, double ear flop, eye shutting, bright eyes and five foot shakey shake. That makes more sense." She smiled to Daring as if nothing happened except for a small interruption to thier conversation.

”What in the name of Professor Scatterplot is going on here…” Daring questioned, mostly to herself as she watched everything happen. It would strange enough for these to happen in general. None of it was commonplace. But for Pinkie to then claim that she had seen these things coming… That would be even stranger.

”So you’re basically saying that you receive anterior indications of events through different spasm patterns throughout your anatomy. A precognitive code?” Daring questioned. Seeing was the doorway to believing, but it all seemed very unlikely to her. Earth Ponies very rarely exhibited such potent magic. Nothing was impossible. She had been around too many bizarre things to call it that, but it did border on implausible.

”Or maybe you’re just twitchy and you link that, retroactively, to whatever happens after? I mean, has this been tested?” She asked, ever the scientist.

Pinkie just nodded with a rattling in her head. "Ponyville tested for..." She started counting while looking at her right hoof, she then looked back to Daring and smiled. "Fifteen years and even Twilight saw it in action. It was a daring adventure that put us face and face and face to face and face and face and face and face and face and face and face with a Hydra." Looking over to the cafes in the area she smiled to the adventurer. "How about we go get a bite to eat while we talk? Conversations are always better while you eat. Sometimes it is even funnier when you try to let out some wisdom and a crumb of cake jsut hops out by accident." While most of that was true and funny as a clown, Pinkie did feel a bit hungry anyways. The trip from Ponyville was a long one and she forgot breakfast.
