Breakneck knows his friend's a total goner this time around ^_^ I can see him not helping Rook out at all in this story.

Why is her tail a different color? It looks amazing and unique, I'm just curious

Nimaru In reply to asoukathewolf [2013-01-30 06:56:59 +0000 UTC]

I don't have a really deeply defined reason, just that her color scheme matches her cutie mark: pink, green, brown, and orange. It has to do with her special talent: making diversity work together.

You know, you can make memes with the last 2 faces. They really look great, especially breakneck's face. XD
It kind of reminds me of The Regular Show.

So, quick question.
Based on the earlier, brief description of their early relationship i assumed that Spumoni was also a member of the guard or at least was part of the pegasus guard training camp in some way.
But here it looks like she is a formation, stunt flyer like the wonder bolts.
So what does she do for a living at this point? Is she a stunt flyer or is she just doing this in her spare time?

Nimaru In reply to truedragon5374 [2013-01-16 22:37:29 +0000 UTC]

She's a stunt trainer. Stuntwork is in my opinion a very basic part of guard flight training: Agility, quick reaction time, flying in formation, etc.

truedragon5374 In reply to Nimaru [2013-01-17 07:35:10 +0000 UTC]

Cool. But wait.
So that means that she has to 'train' a pony who is not only a natural athlete, but also the first pegasus to successfully fly the Razorwind Canyon?
While he is constantly hitting on he?

Nimaru In reply to truedragon5374 [2013-01-18 04:35:26 +0000 UTC]

Not quite. He's not part of the stunt team or one of the rookies who trains with them. He's already been with the guard almost a year and in that time he and Breakneck have proven themselves. That's why, as young as he is, Breakneck is taking a position with the stunt team as a coach/trainer (along with Spumoni).

truedragon5374 In reply to Nimaru [2013-01-19 01:16:49 +0000 UTC]

Ah, that makes much more sense. I was wondering how he would have passed the class when all she would have had to do is give him demerits every time he asked her out. Still, if he is too forward too often she could file for harassment which might be ground for booting him from the OTC.

Nimaru In reply to truedragon5374 [2013-01-19 01:44:11 +0000 UTC]

Not to worry. One of the reasons I've been looking forward to this story is that most people don't see Rook as anything other than arrogant (like Rainbow Dash). On the contrary, he's contemplative, considerate, and VERY respectful. Which is basically the lesson that Spumoni will have to learn about him so this arc is a bit meta.

Loving this! I hope when they get serious they start using overly cute nicknames for each other.
Heh. Rook should call Spumoni his "caramel strawberry" after the colors of her mane and tail.
I can just imagine her reaction. It would be hilarious.

Paral337 [2013-01-15 00:54:07 +0000 UTC]

Ha ha, Breakneck totally knows what's going on.
Rook's completely lovestruck .

Oh and by the way, I saw a few comments down someone asked what Spumoni's cutie mark was for, and you said her talent was teamwork.
How does her cutie mark represent teamwork?

Nimaru In reply to SillyWriterGall [2013-01-14 15:57:36 +0000 UTC]

Special characteristic. She's unusual in that way and has been from the beginning. It also has to do with her name.
