[That's the spirit! :> Although he's finding it very hard not to laugh at the little display of enthusiasm, shaking his head.]

Keep that up, and we might be able to finish before the sun goes down.

[He's kidding. Really.]

[midhitgrope]

I dunno, man. It seems like an awful lot to go through just to melt some damn ice.

[He's being good and not swearing. There's kids about, after all.]

[demontobeloved]

It's a magical castle that skips two seasons and sometimes forgets to turn on the sun. I don't think logic features.

[jetset]

[ this face. ]

What's a plane? This another technological thing?

[jimfromit]

Forgets to turn on the sun?...no no if I ask it’d show me at a really inconvenient moment.

[jetset]

[ jet shrugs. ]

The castle's that way-- [ he points ] --so I'm guessing that'll do.

[bearcub]

[We don't need no stinking shovels! Pardon the teen, he's digging away snow with a massive bear paw.

...it got the job done, at least?]

[bearcub]

[That... smells really good, but Senri is an awkward teen and just stares.]

[goldencirclet]

I wanna fly, I wanna fly!

[One overexcited kid, get. Goku LOVES this idea.]

[goldencirclet]

[Fluttering around like a crazy bee, this one. He's so happy, you have no idea.

...now and then he bumps into a cloud and it poofs away.]

[tres_iqus]

[Oh you people. So ineffective.

Tres has been calculating for the first ten minutes... and then he moves to the perfect position far behind a cluster of birds and fires one shot into the air.

...logically, this should have scared the birds in the right direction. However, the castle is a troll and Tres is now covered in birds.]

[incantati]

[ he pauses, and chuckles as he leans on his shovel and adjusts his glasses, probably looking weird as hell. ]

No reason not to, is there?

[Assuming its action. xD]

[wheatdos]

[He just kind've flails, panicking]

"W-well are you just going to stand there... or-"

[He stares at the dragon for a moment, narrowing his eyes, confused. You can just tell in his EYES he's thinking... A purple baby dragon?]

"I-I've got it! Don't worry, just... just... stand back."

[He rolled up the rug that was on fire, and just left it there. For a moment, it looked like the flame was contained and then was put out, but then it suddenly consumed the entire rug right up]

"Ahh!"

[He stepped back and briskly walked to the other side of the room, watching from a distance]

hay boy hay c:

[incantati]

Vanyel, hello! Oh, no, I threw a veritable tantrum when I realised we truly could not use our powers.

[ he winks to show he's joking, as he looks across at Yfandes. ]

Oh, I see you're brought a helper.

[allaboutattitude]

About a month.

[doublethefun]

[she takes a few steps closer to him and. Ah. She smiles.]

Thou art Goku, yes?

[doublethefun]

I am Luna. A pleasure to meet thee, Nudge.

Dost thou wish to help me with this task?

[blabs]

Luna... that's a pretty name. [ a beat. ] Can you really give us wings?

[doublethefun]

For those who cannot fly, yes. There is a spell that creates large, temporary butterfly wings.

[anothershirtruined]

I am Amelia Peabody Emerson.

[huffythedragon]

Not much of a talker...right.

You're missing some senses? [Coming closer]

yes!

[huffythedragon]

[Dude Wheatley no, that is not how you put out a fire D:]

How can you possibly have made that WORSE?

[Trying to find some water]

[zeke_developer]

[It's lucky then that she's talking to a guy who's spent much of his life in front of a computer then :)]

Well, it is that, but that's...umm...a really oversimplified explanation. Computers, at their most basic, are able to make calculations much more quickly than person can, because they only deal in 1's and 0's, on and off. Building on that, we're able to build computers for specific tasks, automate them to do what we tell them to, without having to always be there to tell them. Program are able to be written, basically scripts telling a computer what it should calculate and why, and otherwise provide instructions that tell a computer what to do, based on certain conditions.

[He thinks of the most simple example he can give.]

For example, my wheelchair has the sensor built into it's underside. A laser, to be precise. That measures the distance between the bottom of my chair, and whatever surface it's passing over. This measurement is then sent to the computer, which has a program that says "If the distance is less than x, then do this." I have a whole bunch of these instructions written, and they are programmed to tell different parts of the wheelchair to do different things, based on the data gathered by the sensors.

[Suddenly, Huey gets an idea.]

So, you do this magic stuff, right? Would tell me how it works? I've been...uhh...trying to figure it out since I got here, but magic's not my area of expertise. Computers and mechanical engineering are mine.

Re: yes!

[wheatdos]

"W-well, it's not like you're doing anything either mate!"

[He sort've flails around, and throws his labcoat in. He's not exactly sure how that's supposed to help, but it doesn't matter, because it doesn't.]

"Do-do you by any chance... think that this castle is flammable???"

[goldencirclet]

Yeah, I am!

[He looks at her.]

Are ya Fluttershy's friend?
