  1. " [colour=#008080]Pfft, who IS that guy[/colour]? " Spike mutters to himself as he prepped brewing the tealeaves in the pot in the kitchen, far enough away from the scene to hear and not be heard.

    " [colour=#008080]I mean, I don't even really know half of what the guys talking about, but he still doesn't seem all that...well...trustworthy[/colour]! "

    " [colour=#8b4513]Hoo[/colour]? " Came a familiar hoot from behind him - leading to a near instinctual reply of " [colour=#008080]That Spin Tale doc' guy outside[/colour]! " before Spike realised that it wasn't exactly going to be met with much more than similar in reply. " [colour=#008080]Ugh...Nevermind[/colour] " Spike sighs as he grabs some cups and the bowl of sugar from the table - after hopping up on one of the chairs to do so, that is...such is the life of a baby dragon of short stature, afterall. Making teas never really took TOO long, but Spike liked to take time to make sure things were just right, even if one of the ponies imbibing of the liquid was one whom he wasn't particularly fond of currently.

    Spike just wasn't particularly fond of ponies who seemed too smug and self-assured for their own good, and his mind couldn't help but tick over how Spin Tale seemed to just ooze far too much of both for his liking. Of course, he hoped that it was all just a silly overreaction on his part and that this Doctor character was more 'honest' than he was seeing...but something told the young dragon that there was always a chance his instincts could still be right - either way, he finished up brewing the tea, placed a few snackable biscuits onto a plate and put them all on a tray to carry out to the main room again for Twilight and Spin Tale to enjoy.

    "[colour=#008080] Tea's up...[/colour] " Spike cheerfully announced, none of his prior inner monologues and thoughts leaking into his tone whatsoever. " [colour=#008080]Come get it whilst it's hot[/colour]! "

  2. Berry was quite eager to get a little relaxation in now that this first day of the con had wound down and she was done serving her usual arrays of punches and drinks outside - now it was Berry time, and she was gonna spend every moment she could enjoying what she could...and those sandwiches looked awfully tempting, considering she hadn't eaten all that much since she'd arrived here all those hours ago - she wasn't about to turn down some free lunching, that much Berry was absolutely sure of!

    Berry lets off a small sigh of contentment as she trots over to the table of snacks, where she'd provided a more casual selection of her drinks for the ponies to enjoy, and acquired for herself a couple of sandwiches on a plate, alongside an orange and raspberry punch - afterwards, setting it onto a table near the chair she'd chosen for her own relaxation and enjoyment...heading over towards the book shelf and perusing through the various titles to see just what she felt like picking up and enjoying for the evening...

    " [colour=#ee82ee]Oooh, they even have the Iron Stallion selection here[/colour]! " the magenta mare mutters to herself, barely containing a smile of glee as she helps herself to a few of the revered literature and makes her way back to the seat, plopping herself down onto it as she just gives a quick gigglesnort, now all set to just have herself a most awesome evening amongst other ponies!

  3. [colour=#800080]Vinyl Scratch[/colour]

    " [colour=#800080]Oh Celestia, look at this decor[/colour]! "

    Vinyls muzzle beamed as she looked around the decorated room - the musical motif was a nice touch, and she had to hand it to whomever had arranged such a sweet locale.

    Giving a quick sigh of blissful enjoyment, Vinyl flopped onto the well made bed and flails all four hooves in the air as she just kinda enjoys being off of her hooves for the first time all day - sure it wasn't really over just yet, but after having had an opportunity to sample some unusual tasting culinary delights, mingling with all manner of ponies and generally partaking in the events and opening celebrations that had taken place the last few hours, she was just content to take a few moments to stow her gear and relax in the comforts provided.

    " [colour=#800080]Awww yeah[/colour]! " she mutters, face buried deep in the cool side of the pillow on the bed, tail twitching as she sprawls for a few uninterrupted moments. " [colour=#800080]This is the life[/colour]! "

    Of course, she still had to prepare to make sure the night-time party was as lively as only she knew how, but there wasn't any harm in catching a l'il laydown beforehoof!

  4. [colour=#4B0082]"Spike, I need you to get us tea for three...and fetch 'The Vast and Complete History of Pre-Return Equestrian Explorers'."[/colour][colour=#282828] [/colour]

    The dragon gives a small salute at Twilight, before taking a small moment to regard the other occupants...uh, well, now the only Occupant LEFT...in the room - something about the stallion was giving Spike an odd sense of distrust, and whilst the youngster wasn't particularly one to just out and out believe in his gut hunches all of the time, there was just SOMETHING in this gut feeling that was ringing true. Spin was exuding an odd confidence, as though he was being far too self-assured about something - still, Spike shakes off the feeling and decided that it was far better to simply focus on the required tasks for the moment at hand...afterall, Twilight was the boss.

    " Right on it, Twi! " came his general response, shooting off a small uncertain glance at Spin before heading to the relevent destination locations...fetching the book from it's perch in the relevent reference section, and then off to the kitchen to make the cup of teas that Twilight had asked for...for now, it was all just a part of Spikes general daily activity until something else cropped up, which for the most part he was hoping it didn't...unannounced days of danger weren't exactly his favourite, and if today wound up in such a direction...well, that wasn't a scenario the young Dragon was particularly fond of thinking for too long about.

  5. The basket that the young dragon was holding had gotten a little full - he wasn't even sure he REALLY needed all of this stuff, but Spike didn't wanna take chances...a couple kitchen utensils, some scrolls, a few bottles of neverfade ink, and a new feather duster were chiefly the items the baby dragon had picked out, not having really come entirely prepared...a true case of impulse shopping if ever he'd heard of it. Still, the prize was one of the sweetest and most delicious he knew of, and thus this would all be worth it once goods were bought and he was handed over a free jar of that delicious, juicy, mouthwatering jam that went so well on pretty much any jewel he could care to think of - and toast, actually, now that he thought about it.

    There seemed to have been a whole buncha commotion going on though - Spike had done well enough to try not to pay too much attention to it, considering it seemed that a certain pegasus was smack bang in the middle of it, but now that things seemed to be getting a little more preoccupied with whatever was going on in ways that he was finding hard to just not take notice of anymore.

    " [colour=#008080]What in Equestria was she even doing[/colour]? " the purple baby dragon murmurs to himself as he tried to get in close to take a look. "[colour=#008080] Carrots, Accidents, X-Rays[/colour]? "

    Still it seemed soon enough that everything cleared up just as soon as it started, and the Pegasus left the store with no further incident...surprisingly - Spike shrugged as he resumed his own pace of shopping, stopping by to take a look at some odd cleaning equipment. Despite his young enough age, Spike was smart enough t'know that stuff like this was gonna be useful around the library, especially when it came to bookshelves. He thought back to the recent incident with the burnt bookshelves from his small sneezing fit recently, and decided that this was the best method he had to at least keeping them looking as well-kept as he could considering it had been kinda his fault that they had wound up that way to begin with!

    With that little train of thought out of the way, and the product placed firmly into the basket, Spike moves on...getting ever closer to achieving his prize of delicious Zap Apple jam!

  6. Vinyl hadn't really gotten too far away from the desk when she came to the blatant realisation that something had been bothering her for the last 4 or 5 hours she'd been awake...it was a relatively small thing, and she felt a little ridiculous having not tended to it sooner than this...her stomach growling a little in response to her conscious acknowledgement of the situation. It was all well and good being a heavily in demand music manipulating maestro mare, but it didn't really do much good for her if she tried being one whilst fully aware that she hadn't eaten a solitary thing since breakfast...it was a bad habit she'd picked up from her regular night life activities in the clubs and striving to push herself to be the very best DJ in Canterlot, Manehattan and anyplace else she could.

    " [colour=#800080]Ugh, could really go for somethin' to snack on right about now... [/colour]" the unicorn utters to herself, looking around to scan her surroundings carefully for any signs of places to eat, when something promising entered her zone of hearing....her ears perking up to hear it better, licking her muzzle at what she heard..

    [colour=#ff0000]" Mares of Equestria, listen! I, Harlequin Salad, aspiring master of cuisine have prepared for you today culinary delights beyond your imagination! "[/colour]

    Oh, this sounded like just what she needed - she could set up later, but right now was about the best time to go get herself a little feast of a late breakfast to keep her going for the rest of the day...whatever the mare had called out after the first sentance of advertising spiel had been lost on Vinyl as she cantered over to the table with her gear floating beside her. She tweaks her shades and regards the mare behind the table, the basket and goods in full display as she cleared her throat a little and opened her muzzle to address the mare in as casual a manner as her currently food-addled mind could muster.

    " [colour=#800080]Yo, Miss Foodmare...[/colour] " she says, giving a quick grin of anticipation at the promise of delicious foods. " [colour=#800080]Got anythin' for a starvin' DJ? Much appreciated[/colour]! "

    She had absolutely no idea what flavours and tastes awaited her from this mystery basket, but she couldn't wait to find out!

  7. [colour=#800080]Vinyl Scratch[/colour]

    Class had ended about 5 mins ago, and a certain Blue Haired student had just finished up a quick call with some parental types, whom had apparently too much time to spend questioning the types of folks she hung around with outside of school - pssht, wasn't really their business an' such who she hung with...besides, as she'd reminded her somewhat busybody mum over the phone, it wasn't like her parents had been wallflowers and the like back at their own schooldays.

    That aside, it wasn't like she was getting into anything that was particularly dumb - she knew well enough not to get into criminal acts { well, kinda }, and there was no way in heck she was doing anything that involved chemically enhancing her mental state!

    Well, whatever - the call had ended on a somewhat impasse, and Vinyl scratch had hung up without any intent on picking up for her parents 'til later...she had way more important things to be dealing with, like her socials an' making sure she kept herself at the top of her contemporary music classes. What her parents thought of her lifestyle choices was pretty much on the lowest rung of her personal care ladder right now, and she'd come out of the phone call with her usual smile in tact...stuff like that rarely bothered Vinyl, as any of her usual friends would have agreed. Still, today it seemed as though her usual friends were sorta indisposed, which was a l'il bit of a pain in the rear since she could really have done with some laughs right about now that weren't about her folks and their inherant inability to understand things from her point of view.

    Ah well - t'was time for lunch...time for this young musical maestro of the Modern era to get her funky self over to the cafeteria an' see what was cooking!

  8. " [colour=#b22222]Sounds like somepony got out of the wrong side of the bed this morning[/colour]! " Poni mutters under his breath, raising an eyebrow as the store owner seemingly attempted to exhert some sense of control over the scene, but for the most part it seemed as though the scene was running riot over the shopkeep.

    And then the dragonaquus showed up...and for the first time during this little fiasco, he had no words - this was hilarious, and a little surreal!

  9. [colour=#6699cc]"Pfft! Really? Who the hay orders cinnamon whirl ice cream? I think my grandmare does. Go for something more bold, old timer. Then again, you're probably a chicken. Hey kid, cancel that order. This stallion wants a scoop of scorching chilli swirl."[/colour]

    " [colour=#b22222]You're right, missy - I've been holding back on myself 'cause of trying not to pig out too much this summer, but now you've lit the Stark spark[/colour]! " the earth pony grins, glancing at the ice cream maker from where he stood and licks his lips, his mind conjuring many a combination that'd rock the world and split mountains like nopony had ever seen...or tasted, even.

    "[colour=#b22222] I'll have...and make sure you get this down, very critical balance here... [/colour]" he pauses, tweaks his shades and clears his throat loudly.

    " [colour=#b22222]A Double-chocolate-raspberry ripple drizzle-mochalatte-candyfloss-cherry fondent-tiramisu-strawberry sundae-apple pie-vanilla supreme...[/colour] "

    A small tap of the hoof in thought, too absorbed in his flavour choosing to notice the fashionable arrival.

    " [colour=#b22222]And a coffee...with a donut - eat in, 'cause I ain't going out there with snacks[/colour]! "

  10. Poni wasn't so sure Rainbows gesture was something that was overly intended - afterall, he'd seen such gestures before in canterlot, and for not all the best reasons.

    Disregarding this, he brushes himself off and looks around at the ragtag group of ponies and gives a wide smirk.

    "[colour=#b22222] So...[/colour] " he starts, heading to the order desk. " [colour=#b22222]Who's wings do I gotta tickle for a cinnamon whirl ice cream deluxe[/colour]? "

  11. No sooner had he walked into the shop than he'd found himself under assault from 2 rogue flyers...the crazy blue pegasus seemed to have somewhat gotten thrown off course and crashed into him, which had left him sprawled upside down and a little confused as to just how something like that happened in an ice cream shop.

    " [colour=#b22222]Yeeesh, somepony get the license number of that griffon[/colour]? " the earth pony utters as he pulls himself back to his four hooves. " [colour=#b22222]Wait, there isn't one even here, nevermind[/colour]! "

  12. Long days of ideas gathering and meetings with the stuck-in-the-muds at canterlot made one Poni Stark bored - bored as heck...Chairpony of the bored, even!

    It also made him rather in the mood for some chilling out - and where better than to do it in one of Ponyvilles most delightful an' delicious places to snack at, Sugar Mints Ice Cream. Luckily enough, it seemed like the place was seein' some action of the interesting kind - he was certainly most interested to go take a peek at just what the hullaballoo was about!

    "[colour=#b22222] Heeeey, what's all the noise[/colour]? [colour=#b22222]somepony throwin' an ice cream party and didn't invite me[/colour]? " The inventor pony comments, looking around curiously.

    Crazy Blue Pegasus, Stuffy Unicorn Guard - nopony he'd really ever met before or was immediately familiar with...oh, and the ever-present shopkeep, of course.

    " [colour=#b22222]Woah, looks like a fun time - is it tongue olympics day or something[/colour]? [colour=#b22222]I lose count, 'cause we already have so many weird holidays[/colour]! "

  13. [colour=#dda0dd]Berry Punch[/colour]

    Well, this was about all of the stalling Berry could do before getting truly set up...she gives QuickLime a small peck on the cheek as she addresses the green mare beside her.

    " [colour=#ee82ee]Well, hun, I hate to leave you in the lurch, but if I don't get the punch stand up then we're going to have plenty of thirsty customers later.[/colour] " she says with a small chuckle.

    "[colour=#ee82ee] of course, as I said when we talked about this, the only payment needed is the attention for the bar - everything I've brought is free today, even deluxe fruit an' berry punches[/colour][colour=#dda0dd]! [/colour]"

    The mare gave QuickLime a playful wink as she tapped the green pony on the muzzle with a hoof. " [colour=#ee82ee]Don't you worry about a thing, I've worked it all out, so you have nothing to fear[/colour]!~ "

    Berry made her way out from behind the stand, blowing a small kiss to QuickLime as she headed out to set things up...and that meant going to grab her supplies from their temporary storage before heading back this way again to establish the berry kart on a pre-arranged location that she'd discussed with QuickLime. She loved public events like this, and there was no way that there would be too many unhappily parched ponies present once she was all fully set up and ready to dispense some much required liquid fruity refreshment!

    Editing in

  14. Stuff and Life is going on for me right at this particular moment - forced to take a potential 2 weeks absence, depending on how things work out!

    SHOULDN'T be any longer than that - it's just been a rather sudden occurance of oddities and bad luck that have caused this rather silly situation to occur.

    HOWEVER - If I can make it online for any periods of time, I shall...but for now, I'm reporting a general case of online absence just in case.

  15. Spike had gotten himself unexpectedly involved in helping get a few ponies dealt with with their needs for assistance, and although he'd wanted to address the vocal teasing of one particular mare from whom he'd been wishing to lend a claw to here, it was difficult to do when he was being either coo'd over by ponies or being tugged into helping deliver small baggage to it's rightful owners. He hadn't been this actively busy for a good while, and had somewhat not expected that this would have been the case upon asking QuickLime if he could help out. Of course, he'd originally wanted to do so to help Rarity, but when you were part of a team effort to make sure something like this operated relatively smoothly, it seemed kinda like a bad thing to just stop what you were helping out with just to tend to one pony...even though the l'il dragon had really, really wanted to - however, there would be time enough to catch up to the white unicorn later, and he'd be DOUBLE sure to be at her every beck and call to help out if she needed it!

    A familiar voice in the crowd catches his attention more or less the instant he'd finished helping out the ponies he had been assisting with bags - his eyes widen slightly, and he looks around to locate the source, waddling off towards the direction of it once he figured out where it was coming from...if it was who he thought it was, there was no way he was gonna ignore her calling him over.

    Sure enough, there she was...Princess Cadence from the Crystal empire, seemingly asking about his location from a nearby mare - taking a brief moment to make sure he didn't look exactly like he was a complete mess of a dragon, Spike brushed himself clear of any grass smudges and whatever had decided to settle on him (including a couple of ladybirds on his tail!) and presented himself to the young Princess with a welcoming smile and a wave, looking around for a moment to make sure that there wasn't anypony else who might have wanted to speak with her at the same time - he didn't wanna get in anyponys way, afterall.

    "[colour=#008080] Well, hey there Caden-...Uh, your Majesty[/colour]! " the dragon started, a little unsure whether or not he should bow or not...deciding to give something of a nervous half bow just so he didn't appear to be forgetting his manners or anything in front of a Princess. "[colour=#008080] Glad you could, um, make it - seriously, I didn't even know you were coming...does Twi' know you're here[/colour]?[colour=#008080] I'm sure she woulda come had she known.[/colour] " He paused, took a breath and cleared his throat as the dragon youngster reminded himself that they could talk with Twi later or something, should she decide to step outta the library and be here!

    " [colour=#008080]So how are ya[/colour]? " he asks with a curious glance, interested in knowing how she'd been holding up lately...considering everything, she and Shining Armor had seemingly been doing a pretty good job so far of taking care of the Crystal ponies - the thought of which promptly reminded him that he should offer his own assistance, out of courtesy for the present situation.

    " [colour=#008080]Didja need any help here, or is everythin' going okay for ya around here right now[/colour]? "

  16. [colour=#EE82EE] Berry Punch[/colour]

    Berry hadn't been ready for the crowd turnout - QuickLime had really tapped onto something here and she was absolutely excited for it.

    With the arrival of so many local and beyond mares, Berry did what she could to help out Quicklime...the dishing out of badges, introductions and whatnot was a fairly simple routine, and one that she was capable enough of handling without too much trouble. She was decent enough with crowd conversations and business, having handled her own bar for long enough to know how to properly address and play host in situations such as these...it was always fun, but tiring, to get to play the role when in a situation like this.

    Still, Berry remained resolute as she did her part to alleviate the pressure from the mare, taking any questions from mares who weren't in the line already, or directing them to where they wanted to go if Lime was occupied at the time. So many of Equestrias esteemed mares seemed to be turning up to this event, and a lot of familiar Ponyville faces that the earth pony recognised from her own daily dealings - even some of the princesses, which even surprised her somewhat, as she'd never anticipated that Royalty such as luna and Cadance would have made time to come out to such an event!

    This didn't deter Berry from doing what she could in the meantime - afterall, it was important to make sure that things were handled professionally...thus Berry allowed Lime to handle the Princess registrations herself, whilst taking some time to make sure that there was nothing anypony else needed in the meantime who was nearby. It seemed like everything was running smoothly for the time being though, and she allowed herself a small sigh of relief, as she surveyed the growing crowd of Ponies talking, laughing and mingling all around.

    As far as her own role in this convention went, Berry was going to set up the full drinks stall soon enough, but for now her priority was to lend a hoof to QuickLime and get these proceedings fully underway - and it looked like a latecomer was indeed making her way to the booth even now!

    [colour=#800080] Vinyl Scratch [/colour]

    Well, checking in hadn't been a big hassle at least - she'd been semi-familiar enough with the green mare QuickLime to at least get someplace...

    “Well if it aint Slicks McCool” - Vinyl couldn't help but having grinned at the comment - their rather interesting encounter on a train ride and subsequent introductions has made Vinyl somewhat fond of the green mares attitude, and wasn't one to dismiss just how difficult this whole setup was for her in the least...managing a public show wasn't easy, afterall. the DJ Unicorn had, of course, headed up and dealt with many a show in her time and something like this was likely going to prove to be an interesting challenge for QuickLime - Vinyl naturally wished her well on keeping the whole management side smooth!

    " [colour=#800080]Yo, good to be here - dun worry, I'll make sure that EVERYPONY has a great time when ya kick up the party time later tonight[/colour]! "

    She took her badge and gave the green mare and her companion, the cute magenta Earth pony nearby, a quick nod of acknowledgement and of thanks for the rather interesting event that lay ahead, before heading off, her equipment in telekinetically magicked tow, to see just what she was getting herself into here!

    [OOC Note: Vinyl and Spike are still 'Semi Active' in the thread, but please PM me if you wish to encounter/talk to them here.]
