Shockblast Salon (OPEN)

[ThunderHorse]

Tipper looked and nodded in approval. "Splendid job! In reply to you, Miss Rose, I play a variety of music. We do metal, yes, but mostly it's disco."

[SirDemirci]

Nebula would sniff loudly, but continued tapping the picture and repeating her rhyme. It almost became repetitive to a point she wouldn't realize that anypony would enter the backroom.

[synkyd]

(your next, Papyrus)

[SirDemirci]

(your next, Papyrus)

(Guess she had to go.)

[Papyrus]

[colour=#dda0dd]((Heh, sorry about that. Shenanigans beckoned.))[/colour]

Papyrus cocked her head in curiosity. Sure, she hadn't heard much of disco, but then again she was never really one for much music at all, or she would own a stereo. The unicorn considered going to see his show, but she didn't know much about it.

[colour=#66CC66]"When and where are you playing?" [/colour]she questioned.

[synkyd]

Calypso stood there for a few moments, looking at the back room. Nebula had been alone in there long enough, doing whatever she was doing. However, an idea passed through Calypsos mind, an action that will only take a few moment.

("it wouldnt hurt to test the waters, would it?") Calypso thought, looking at Papyrus. Suddenly, Calypso stepped forward, And nuzzled Papyrus's neck. "I'll be back in a bit, miss papyrus." Calypso said, turning to the back room and looking stealthily back to moniter her reactions.

The door silently shut behind Calypso when he entered the backroom, watching her little ditty.

"who is in the photo?"

[SirDemirci]

Nebula would look up at Calypso and back to her photo, and sniffed. "M-my b-big b-brother, a-a-and my t-t-twin b-brother." She leaned her head back down and stared at it, looking at her big brother.

"H-H-He's l-living w-w-with D-Daddy up a-at w-w-work." She, however, refused to explain her other brother. All she did was let out another sniff and wipe her eyes with her foreleg.

[synkyd]

Calypso picked up the photo and looked at it closer. It was a very well took photo, perfectly aligned and lit, a proffesinal photographer photo. Calypso clipped a hoof against the photo.

"What is your brothers name? and what happened to the other one?"

"What is your brothers name? and what happened to the other one?"

Nebula pointed her hoof at her big brother, "R-Ruby Q-Quasar." Then pointed to her twin, "H-He w-w-was S-S-Spectral C-C-Cosmos..." At the mention of his name, Nebula turned and scrunched her face, trying not to cry again.

[synkyd]

Calyoso quickly abondoned asking about her other brother, seeing it was a sensitive topic. "what was your brother like?" said calypso, seating himself next to Rose. she really needed to get all this out.

Nebula shuddered as she started, "H-He was n-n-nice, a-a-always g-gave m-me s-s-stuff w-w-when l-l-living with m-m-mommy." She pointed her hoof at her saddlebags, the pouch of bits lying next to it. "H-He s-said t-t-that w-w-was h-his p-pay f-f-for work."

As if on instict, Nebula leaned her head into Calypso's side and continued, "H-He w-w-worked a-at a m-m... s-shop place."

[ThunderHorse]

Tipper looked at Papyrus and said "We're playing at the pub. Why do you ask?"

[Papyrus]

Papyrus was certain he knew why she was asking. After all, it wasn't as if she'd look for information about where they were playing just for kicks! The mare was about to respond, but she was cut off by a certain small filly's voice that almost sounded like...sobbing? The unicorn feared that she got too worked up by the pressure of having to do so much work for the Salon. She held out a hoof, her body slightly eased to the room where she heard the quiet near-crying coming from. [colour=#66cc66]"Might go check it out later," [/colour]Pap said quickly. [colour=#66cc66]"one moment." [/colour]She stepped into the back room.

[SirDemirci]

Nebula would look up and notice Papyrus, her eyes bloodshot and rather wet with tears. She was a bit shocked to see the mare standing there and realized that she might've heard the entire thing. She couldn't do anything to salvage her attitude but slumped.

Nebula felt ashamed a customer walked in and saw her like this, further digging herself into a hole that she was still a stupid filly. Wiping her eyes, she tried to hold back from crying. She always did this, every single job she had a meltdown and eventually lost employment and again relied on her elder brother and father. To this, it pretty much sealed her fate as being fired, sure that Calypso would do so.

[synkyd]

Calypso was startled with the sudden entrance of Papyrus, feeling Nebula lift her head off his arm. The way Papyrus was looking at him wasnt incoraging.

"uh, Employies only?" Calypso jested slyly. Calypso turned his head away and wrapped an arm around Nebula. "This little one was telling a little rhyme to her family." Calypso quickly checked Nebula for an approving glance, and levetated the photo over to Papyrus. However, his attention was quickly diverted from the mare when he saw Nebula quickly try to stop and hide Her emotions from the customer. "Hey, hey, its okay, just let it all out. We all get a little weepy sometimes. just let it all out, remove the badness, the terrible feelings."

After letting Calypso show the customer her family photo, she looked up to her boss and listened to his words, and promptly did so.

Digging her face into his side, she finally broke down again. This time she wasn't crying softly, she worked up to a point she was nearly shouting her cries. Holding onto the stallion, she vented all of her feeling. She blubbered, cried, and drooled slightly as she vented all of her feelings. She was shaking heavily as she tried to apologize, only to tangle her words into a incomprehensible mush.

It took her a good ten minutes, but finally she quieted down into soft shudders, a sore throat, and shaking.

[synkyd]

Calypsos eyes were wide at seeing the massive amount of emotion released. How Could she of lived with that welting ball of sadness be kept down for so long? Once again, Calypso began to wipeNebulas face off with his trusty hankerchief, siftly patting her. He pulled up her chin with his hoof.

"Now, didn't that feel good to get that all out? That heavy weight in your stomach is gone, right?" Calypso asked. He chuckled softly, realizing how much he was sounding like a doctor from the Ponyvile Asilum.

Nebula, face and eyes reddened, would gently nod up at Calypso. She didn't want to honestly talk, just felt... really sleepy all of the sudden. From Calypso's point of view, she'd look honestly a bit drowsy.

[Papyrus]

[colour=#66cc66]"Say, uh, Nebula," [/colour]Papyrus began.[colour=#66cc66]"You look a teeny bit drowsy. You should probably take five, huh?" [/colour]the mare did underestimate a bit, and Rose's drooping eyes made it seem like she hadn't gotten a good night's sleep in a few years. Calypso reassured her quite a bit by now, and after letting out her long stream of tears the poor filly probably had an awful headache. Pap wasn't sure whether she was doing this as work for her family or just to occupy her free time, but she was sure that CC's kind heart and good nature (at least, as far as she knew) would dictate her to go calm down a bit, and likely take the rest of the day off. It wasn't like he couldn't handle the shop on his own. A grown stallion not managing a small barber without trouble would be silly. The green mare gently poked the back of Rose's head with her nose, taking note of her mane's typical filly scent that filled her brain with a lovely nostalgia.

[colour=#66CC66]"Lunch break seems good about now." [/colour]Papyrus suggested.

[synkyd]

Calypso took a look at the clock, with the small hand right on 1:00. He stood up, and wiped his arm of the tears of one troubled Rose.

" it's lucky that we delt with this on a Tuesday, Neb. Perhaps you should take a break. And whatevers going on... Just ask, and i'll listen, okay?" Calypso told Nebula, and excused himself. trotting to Tipper, They quickly exchanged Bits, leaving tipper with a shiny new tail and Calypso with some shiny new bits. He then shrugged his head at Papyrus, idicating he'd like to speak to her for a second.

Nebula would nod, and proceed to realize that she didn't have anything for lunch. Looking down, she spoke in rather strained voice from her sore throat, "I-I.. um n-n-never packed a l-lunch b-b-before...." She'd quickly put the crook of her foreleg to her muzzle and cough. Finding something, she quickly cleared her leg of the nasty mucus.

"D-Do you k-k-know a-a p-place that w-w-won't k-kick m-m-me o-out?" She'd ask Papyrus innocently, seeing as she didn't have anywhere else she could get off.

Nebula would nod to Calypso, promising herself she'd explain absolutely everything to Calypso after her break. She gave him a determined nod, but squeaked and held her hooves up to her head, which started into giving her one hell of a headache.

(( Due apologies for being so short with this, I'm a bit drowsy when writing it. ))

[MidnightBlackhorn]

Stardust walked into the salon, not knowing what to expect. She never cared enough about her mane to go into a salon, but she had today off from work, and hey, first time for everything right? She didn't have the foggiest clue what to do now, so she just waited over by the door.

[ThunderHorse]

((Sorry I haven't been able to reply lately...I've been on the busy side))

Tipper shrugged and waited outside the room. He had heard Calypso say it was employees only, and Tipper was only a customer.

"Hmm...I suppose I'd better count the proper amount of money while I wait." He said to himself.

[Papyrus]

Papyrus thought for a moment. She was completely lost in this area, despite the map in her saddlebags. It only covered the train's path, and unfortunately all she knew was that this shop was located at the very last stop. The city pony looked over at Calypso, a questioning look in her eyes that obviously pleaded for information to help the poor scared foal. She couldn't tell left from right in this town, and her social anxieties didn't help at all. Fortunately, the warm welcome of the citizens that she'd met so far made her a lot less intimated by the town. However, that didn't help the situation at hoof at all, except maybe having a few ponies she wouldn't mind asking for a bit of help. Papyrus walked over to the filly and gave a reassuring stroke through her mane, feeling Nebula's warmth swallowing her whole from a few feet away.

[colour=#66CC66]"We should be able to find a place for you to stay and grab a bite, it shouldn't be all too difficult." [/colour]Papyrus said, trying to douse her words in the sort of warmth and comfort she remembered her mother using.

Calypso Trotted to the awaiting mare, thankful for a Customeer to break the uneasiness of The backroom drama. Putting on A bright and happy facade, Calypso gave a kind smile to Stardust.

"Welcome to Shockblast salon! I am the owner and The best mane stylest around, Calypso Cuts! Take a seat over there, Miss." Calypso pointed to a Nearby chair, with tipper slowly counting bits on the next chair over.The unicorn then cantered to the back room, and stuck his head in.

"How do you feel about giving me a hoof with this one, Neb?"
