( Switching genres out of nowhere is difficult! She's otome action hero! Not otome sports hero!!!
Still, she hasn't turned into a snowball with a board that goes rolling down the mountain, so while she does manage to keep with the turn, she's less capable of evading the balloon... that pops over her head, sending what looks like glitter or birdseed flying everywhere. There's a system chime alert for it, but with nothing else immediately happening, she focuses on the whole go forward, avoid falling if possible momentum she has going on.
Those trees, for example. She might not be in super speed mode, but she has to consider: threading the needle through these things. It takes enough of her concentration from where she is behind Gorgug that she doesn't see him take a tumble, or hear him sqawk as he falls...
... Possibly because he didn't actually squawk at all. That thought flies out of her head as she narrowly leans her body away from where he's finally landed, skirting just by him... and getting a load of snow falling down on her head as the surrounding trees try to lighten their loads. Pine needs, man. They just be like that sometimes. )
Woah! Are you okay?!
( She calls back, already past him, when that squawk comes even louder. A massive thud disturbs multiple trees and sends snow falling from all those in radius, leaving clumpy piles around the well at the tree's bases. It's also behind Gorgug that the creature which just fell from the sky slowly straightens to its full height: a big blue chocobo, wearing massive snowshoes on its feet.
It warbles the song of its people, scrapes one massive foot and snowshoe against the snow with a thump-crunch-ssscccch sort of sound, flapping its largely ceremonial winds and preparing to run after Alex, the moving target.
Hopefully not running over Gorgug in the process. )
An ostrich?!
( Do those even come in blue? And are their beaks supposed to be that big!? She lifts her arms and waves to hopefully keep its attention away from Gorgug, nearly upsetting herself into another tumbling in the process.
It also means she doesn't catch sight of the sign right outside this cluster of trees: Cactaur Moguls. By the time she's looking forward, she's already entered the moguls, arms now flailing for balance as she hunkers down and hits a mogul head on. She goes flying off it, only to leave behind an exposed rounded green something, that starts to shake itself off and rise from the snows.
Just as dozens of nearby moguls do, leaving safe avenues through the mogul field, but also slowly filling it with cactaurs. Who shimmy and jump jerkily from "leg" to "leg," preparing to start shooting their needles. )
