15 & 18, Stuck in a doe with really really long hair.
Sideshow coughs softly as the prompt is given to her, unable to suppress a small chuckle. She's spent most of her adult-life as a performer but, well, even she can't suppress her amusement at this particular prompt. After a moment, though, she straightens her face and considers, before she begins.
"What a beautiful mane you have!" She starts, as if speaking to the imaginary doe in question, and takes a few steps forward. Her expression is, she hopes, entirely convincing of one witnessing something truly beautiful.
"You may touch it, if you like," the disembodied voice begins, and Sideshow suppresses a grin as a few kin look surprised by her ventriloquist act.
"Oh, why -- thank you, I think I will." She leans forward, reaching out with one hoof as if to touch it, and then her nose as if to feel how very soft it is, rubbing her cheek against the invisible locks. "Ahhh why.... it's so soft, I think -- achoo!" She sneezes, and makes as if to step away, and starts, jerking a little as if trapped.
"I, er... I think I'm stuck."
"Oh, no!" Says the disembodied voice. "Wait, let me help you."
Sideshow stands still, aside from miming a bit of shaking of her head, and lifting of her hooves, as if trying to escape, before rolling onto her back. "Ah -- I don't think this is helping at all!" Her voice is not-quite-panicked. "I think it's got me!" Her voice rises higher.
"Oh no! I'm --- it's.... algflhghfg;h...." fading off as she curls into a ball, as if being swallowed by the hair. Then, after a moment, she jumps up and bows.
"Thank you very much!" and proceeds to make her way to the sidelines with a small grin, to see what ridiculous prompt might be given out next.
Despite how ridiculous her prompt had been yesterday, it had been quite a bit of fun to act it out. Not to mention, watching everyone else act out their own prompts. And so, the petite, fluffy, doe finds herself among the crowd once again as she considers joining in. Really, though, it's not much of a question. She's always enjoyed the art of acting, of throwing herself into another life that's not her own, even if only momentarily, to imagine being something, or someone, else entirely. Even if that someone is... rather silly.
She grins.
"I'm back for another round. Let's have at it."
3 & 13, Testing your strength with a frog.
Sideshow arches a brow as her prompt is given, and then shakes her head. Honestly, these are just plain silly, but... very well. She draws in a breath and then goes still for a few moments, signalling she's about to begin.
"Rrrriiibbit.."
"What did you say, frog?" The doe narrows her eyes at the invisible frog, tails puffing up angrily.
"Rrriibbbit."
A gasp, and then she takes a step forward. "How dare you insult my mother you-- you-- frog! That's it! We're on, now! I warned you, frog!" She runs about the circle, as if chasing the frog, stomping her hooves and then -- with one supposedly well-aimed hoof, she smashes it, grinding her hoof into the ground and lets out a bit of maniacal laughter.
"That's what you get, frog! That's what happens when you mess with me!"
Quiet reigns for a moment, her act perhaps a little too convincing, and she flushes.
"A-anyway.... that's what would happen if a frog picked a fight with me."
