first gear ; action
[It was early morning when Vanellope woke up and found herself staring up at a dreary, overcast sky. Huh. That was weird. Cotton candy clouds were always pink, sometimes stripey and vaguely stringy - the ones up there were fluffy and boring and dreary and grey. Even more curiously, she hadn't had to nap outdoors in a long while - she had a castle now, and it was pink and sparkly and covered in sugar crystals...
She turned over and gave a surprised yelp when the world suddenly dropped several feet around her. She glitched on reflex, appearing a few feet down and landed pretty painfully on something hard and brown - a branch, she realized, when she sat up. Was it chocolate? Most trees she liked to climb were peppermint flavored. At least the one she landed on wasn't double striped! It still hurt though - way more than it should, really - was there something painful on her back? She got up, feet planted squarely on the tree branch and rubbed the back of her neck as she craned her head to check on what that ache was -
and stepped back again in surprise when she saw the minty green feathers fluttering behind her - not that there was anything there for her to step on! She'd fallen several feet down the tree before she even thought of glitching down to safety, and so was a flurry of pixels and feathers and candy bits when she was closer to the ground. Hopefully she doesn't crash into anyone! Though to be fair, landing on someone would prooobably be better than hitting the forest floor. Well, better for her, anyway.]
Owww... Talk about waking up on the wrong side of the candybar...
[Later in the afternoon, when she was somewhat settled and finally convinced that she wouldn't be going home for a while, Vanellope can be found in the middle of town! She's mostly hanging around the bakery, hovering by the window and peering inside at all the the sweet treats ( "Why are they all so freakishly tiny!" ) - but at some points can also be found glitching from shelf to shelf at the grocery, item shop or clothes store at all the things that weren't made of candy!]

action; 1/3
She zeroes in on the other girl immediately for one simple reason: another child. 8D So she's already heading over when... ]
action; 2/3
action; 3/3
How'd you do that?!
action;
[But yes- turning with a caught-red-handed look, guilty as charged.]
How'd I do what?
action;
You flashed!! Blueish! And then you moved! What's that? Is it your magic? Hey, what's your name? And how old are you? You're new, right?
action; 1/2
action;
It's totally magic! More like a superpower though, 'cause that sounds way cooler doesn't it? [She beams!] And I'm Vanellope Von Schweetz, I'm nine and I'm the president and best racer of Sugar Rush and a new challenger for Luceti!
action;
[ SO FUN ]
action;
But wow, people can program things like that around here? That's [so meta!] pretty cool. [...!] Oh wow, but that means I can race again, right? That's really cool! I thought I'd never race again!
action;
Yeah! You can program pretty much anything there if you know how. I'm not really good at it, but I know a lot of people who are. And I'm supposed to learn how to do some of it from Aunt Ami, later on. Moooostly when I go there it's for pokemon training. [ She jerks a hand over her shoulder. Soren should be chilling outside in the sunlight, waiting for Ikki to return with snacks.
...He's used to his trainer getting distracted. 8| ]
action;
Oh but you need to introduce me to these guys, ASAP! All this walking and running's makin' me feel all slow - I need some wind in my hair! [Fistpumping the air! And then glancing outside when Ikki talks about her pokemon-]
[That's a pretty big bird woah.]
... Woah what is that thing?
action;
Yeah, sure! Sifu Masaomi is pretty good at them, but anyone who hangs around the battle dome can probably show you how to do it, I think!
[ oh right ] That's Soren! He's a pokemon! He's not from my world, 'cause that's not my world, but he was born here and...he had a partner before me, but now we're partners, basically. ...Actually I was supposed to be getting us snacks, haha.
action;
Okay, cool! I'll get on that battle dome thing lickety split, then. You should totally come, maybe we can get'cha a cart of your own!
[And then, glancing outside again.] So, gamejumping animals huh? Is that allowed? Can you really feed him anything?
action;
Really?
Umm, he's not from a game either! [ ...yes he is ikki ] He was born here, from two pokemon from that world. And he can't eat everything, but I was going to get us some dried fruit or something. I'm not allowed to have a bunch of candy. [ She gestures to Vanellope's marshmallows with a shrug. ]
action;
And yeah, totally! It's way easy. I learned in like five minutes. [Well no more like a few hours but that's still really fast okay!]
[But then, all the frowning because-] Not allowed candy? What- why would anyone not allow you to have candy? That's dumb!
action;
Wow!! But there's so many levers and things!!!
I can have two pieces a day, unless there's special occasions. [ FROM MEMORY. ] And sometimes we get dessert, too. But anyway, that's just one of our house rules.
action;
Pedals! And just the one lever-thing. Plus the wheel! But it's not that hard, you could learn it, easy-peasy!
That's a stupid sounding rule, though. Candy's great; I have it all the time. Though that's probably 'cause Sugar Rush is made of candy I guess. Anyway, candy's the best thing and you should have more than two lousy pieces a day. [Ripping open the bag of marshmallows, pops one into her mouth and offers the bag to Ikki while she speaks with her mouth full:] Try'un!
action;
[ ...well she hasn't had any of her pieces today, so Ikki accepts two of those, although she pockets one for Soren. Should birds have marshmallows? PROBABLY NOT. ] You live in a place made out of candy? How's no one eat your whole world? And it's just 'cause Katara and grandpa worry about me. I mean, I like vegetables and fruits anyway!
action;
That's 'cause some of my subje- some of the people are candy-people, and if you eat everything made of candy that's gonna be kinda awkward, isn't it? [And Vanellope's never had a real vegetable before. Maybe an apple in apple pies or oranges or berries in tarts, but - veggies what.]
action;
Candy-people?! [ WHAT. That is so cool! Also man Vanellope come to house 56 for dinner sometime and learn the ways of the vegetarian airbenders. 8) ] That's so cool!!!! What do they eat, though?
