First Public Video - Accidental, but she'll take whatever help she can get

[nostagesplz]

TWHOCK! TWHOCK! TWHOCK! TWHOCK! TWHANNNGG!

[The sounds are heard before the video kicks on. It sounds like a tennis ball hitting a wall... and then hitting metal.]

Oh come on! How many of these bucking things are there?!

[The video comes on and it looks like it's being filmed from a device propped up on a wooden surface of some sort. There is a blue unicorn wearing a set of what looks like dark blue canvas booties, who's using a levitating frying pan and a shimmering shield of transparent magic in a dome like shape to defend against what look like winged, multicolored, ping pong ball sized critters.]

Twhannng! TWHOCK! TWHOCK! TWHOCK!

[She sends one flying back with a pan, while the others pelt the dome with their bodies and get sent flying on the rebound.]

I HATE Parasprites!

[Trixie notes the blinking light on her scroll and out of sheer desperation asks]

I don't know who this is sending to... but... TWHANNGGGG! Does anyone know how to get rid of a plague of fire proof insects?

(Ooc Edit: Trixie will get out of this without BadgerNet help, but if anyone is interested in a message with the aftermath just let me know?)

Comments

Consider Trixie's responses to essentially be live streaming at this point?

[Trixie is panting as the dome shrinks a bit and looks slightly more solid, but the parasprites still batter at it to try and get in... the ones that do are promptly ejected by frying pan express however. She does come over to read the message.]

Oh horse apples... I don't have any extract of that. Maybe the grass itself will work?

[A small bundle of fresh looking grass floats by, surrounded by a thin aura of pinkish white glow to land on the ground near the edge of the dome... It's gone before Trixie can even attempt to light it to make smoke. The parasprites tearing through the shield to devour it in mere seconds. They were worse than locusts.]

........... Well fudge.

[Up goes a new magic dome shield, much smaller than the last. The sheer lack of vegetation outside of the dome shows that they've all but eaten the area around them clean of plants. The ring of grass that was exposed by the shield getting smaller was getting eaten now as well.]

I'm really wishing I was good with weather magic right about now...

Oh dear. Well, you're not going to get anything done in there anyway. ... I'll have to consult the Archives, since impact doesn't seem to be working either.

[Not that she thinks the Archives will have an answer, necessarily. Those things seem like a serious problem...]

[nostagesplz]

Twhannng! Any help I can get is appreciated.

[There's a small, glowing ball of magic forming on the tip of Trixie's horn.]

I don't suppose you know how to contact Princess Celestia or Princess Luna by any chance?

[Considering the nature of the device, Trixie doubted it. It was worth a shot though.]

[theriflespiral]

I don't think I've come across them yet, no.

but if they live here, and are this bad, surely someone must have written down how to deal with them? They seem far too much a nuisance for that place to be livable, otherwise.

[nostagesplz]

They have... unfortunately these aren't normal and fire isn't working. I'm no good at targeted cold spells or lightning strikes. Normally they're just seasonal pests, but if they escape the bounds of their habitat they'll swarm and eat all the plants in an area... but these...

[The ball of magic launches from her horn like a firework, whistling noise and all. There's a sound of a crackling explosion overhead and a red glow.]

I am seriously going to hurt whoever altered these things... I'd normally just swat them away and vamoose, but these ones bite. Considering how much they can eat...
