Dinner with a high ranking official of the Equestrian hierarchy, how exciting! She hadn't expected to be making such close and personal connections to powerful ponies quite yet, but here she is, trotting down the roads of their golden city with her 'plus one', as they call it around here. She must admit, she was a bit nervous. The purple mare had made it sound like a casual affair, but one does not attend a Royal's party- even a party of two- without expending some measures to strike a modest appearance. As such, Rose Compass had opted to dress in a dark blue coat with a light blue now for the occasion. For her, this was as casual as one could get, and it's not like she flaunt her show-sword around anyway- It would undoubtedly alarm the locals, and it didn't seem like a popular custom amongst Equestrians. "I had a very good time last night," she spoke up after a long stretch of silence, bringing herself out of her thoughts to look at her companion for the eve. She must admit, no matter what she did or did not wear, she was quite... Beautiful. Soft colors really fit her well. "Thank you, Aloe, for spending Hearth's Warming with me. It wouldn't have been a special event without you." Of course, Rose also made some attempt to dress her fellow mare up- whether she accepted it or not. A nice dress or- mostly as a joke- a pretty pair of pink socks. Maybe shoes to go with them. Ultimately, It was her choice how she presented herself. Rose was comfortable with anything by this point.

Regeneration. It was regeneration, it had to be! The key, the cornerstone- the door! Rose Compass narrowly avoids needing a new nose, so lost in thought was the anxious mare. Backing up a step and jingling the everpresent bags on her hips that mark her as a medicine mare, she properly opens the door to the... Spa. Right, a spa. She'd heard of those back in Andalusia; a place to relaxation, using a range of aromatherapies and other such strange but effective tricks. If she was being honest with herself, she was less curious of what they did, and more curious how they did it. She supposed she'd find out soon enough as she entered the establishment. "Hello?" She called our in her foreign cadence, surveying the area with a passing glance. Like every other sugarcoated building in this strange town, this place exuded an aura of cartoonish joy, albeit of a muted degree compares to, say, Sugarcube Corner. She'd set her packs down by her side as she waited to be attended, idly taking count of her tools and jars. Regeneration... she'd pick out three jars in particular, all of them labeled with a sticker, but one of them empty. Axelotl dust: a dark iron-colored powder made from the blade of an axelotl stirred in its encasing. She nearly lost a limb trying to get this stuff. Noot horn: a small tuba shaped horn. She shivered thinking about what it was attached to. Leap frog extract: empty. She had yet to find any leap frogs, and she was beginning to question if she even needed to now that she had found the former two regeants. But her research must be complete before trials can begin, so she needs to find one... And soon.

[colour=#ff66cc]It was just past the break of dawn. Today, marked the start of the busiest month that the Ponyville Day Spa sees every year. The annual Spring and Summer Spectacular! Aloe had woken up exceptionally early today to make sure that everything was ready and perfect by the time the doors were set to open so that even the very first customers had the absolute best experience possible. She quickly put the last few finishing touches on her advertising banner. It was done up in the same colours as her coat and mane, with the contrasting cerulean , mixed with the pale rose background, with a border of vines seemed to do the trick for her, and was sure to grab the attention of potential customers. With a quick flip of the lock, she opened the door and placed it outside on her right side so that customers could see it as they walked in. She walked a bit out into the market to make sure the writing was legible from a distance. "Ponyville's Spring and Summer Spectacular!! All treatments and products at fifty-percent their normal price!" Looks good enough to me. It's not even completely light yet and I can read it, she thought to herself as she went back inside and locked the door once again to finish the preparations. [/colour] [colour=#ff66cc]She went through the lobby of the spa to make sure that every balm, lotion, shampoo, conditioner, oil, and all other beauty supplies were stocked as full as she could get them while making sure that all of the guides were in place as well. She knew that this was going to be a very long wait, as it normally was on the first day, so she also made sure to have ample magazines, and entertainment for those awaiting to be serviced. Where is Lotus! I know that mare loves to sleep in, but this is our single most busiest day of the year... she thought to herself as her head dropped in a sigh. Celestia's sun finally peeked over the horizon and began it's ascent into the azure sky. [/colour][colour=#6699cc]"Well, here we go, She'll just have to catch up, like normal,"[/colour][colour=#ff66cc] she thought as she switched the sign to open and unlocked and propped open the main door to the lobby.[/colour]

(OOC: This is a Continuation from Carrots and Conversations.) [colour=#ff33cc]After everything that she had seen Miss Harvest go through today, Aloe wanted to make sure that her experience at the spa was going to be one of the best she's ever had. She had already made it up in her mind that she wasn't going to charge her at all, not only for the spa pass, but for todays treatment as well, since she wasn't really expecting her to be in the mood for a trip so shortly afterward. That being said though, Aloe wanted to be as much help as she could. She couldn't imagine losing their spa and watching it crumble to the ground like she watched her stall do. I'll have to wait and she what she wants first so that I can make sure everything is at it's absolute freshest, and that the hot tubs were at the peak of temperature. Everything has to be perfect today," she thought to herself as she scanned everything to make sure that the jets in the hot tubs were all running correctly while making sure everything else was in place. She also began the delicate mixture for the mud bath that they had talked about before. She had every intention of giving her the select premium treatment today. The treatment that usually only Rarity or the occasional visitors from Canterlot could afford. [/colour]

~~Aloe~~ It had been another relatively slow day at the spa. This was the third day in a row where they had five customers or less, and at this rate, they would once again be in the hole. At the very least even though the spa side was a bit slower than normal, the lotion and Salves side of the store seemed to do rather well at least. The ponies who did come in today for a their scheduled spas also bought a fair amount of grooming oils and supplies. If nothing else, it was a plus, and it seemed to be more and more where they were making their money from anyways. With exception of Rarity of course. If there was one pony she knew she could always count on for continuous visits to the spa would be, quite arguably, one of the most pristine unicorns in Ponyville. Rarity's mane was never anything short of dazzling, and her coat, unless she had a run in with applejack, was always in a condition that rivaled even her own. She continued entranced in thought as she finished locking up the spa, as they closed a bit earlier than normal today because of the slowness of business and they had already finished all the cleaning that needed to be done. Which of course wasn't a whole lot. when you don't get very many customers, there isn't too much to clean. Once everything was locked up she headed over to the Ponyville Cafe, The waitress walked over to her. "Good evening Miss Aloe, Off early today?" Aloe nodded, "Yah, Anot'er slow day at the spa. Ah don't how we're able to pull through like we are. It always comes with a stroke of luck at 'he end of 'he month," she spoke up sounding a bit down. "Well, I'm sure fortune will shine on you again, it always does, and I'd be hard pressed to think anyone here in Ponyville would let the spa fall," she responded with a smile. "Will it be your usual then?" she asked with a simple nod from Aloe. "Okay, I'll have that right out to you," While she waited she begain to ponder. She wondered if Lotus was feeling as down about the spa as she was from the last couple days. She knew that her and her sister had their differences, but it didn't change the fact that they were twins. They were similar in a lot of was. Hmm, per'aps a good prank would cheer us bot' up. After all, A harmless prank, if not overdone can be a nice lift. That being said, Lotus can be a bit touchy with them. Turning her coat green again wouldn't be an option. I don't think she'd like that too well, she said to herself as she lost herself in thought.
