Canterlot Warming Hearts And Bellies://Open Rp

[QuickLime]

It was a cold day in Canterlot! Snow falling thickly, the air was frigid! Ember decided though that today he'd be spreading a little holiday cheer, pulling the wagon out he had borrowed from his dad, it had several several barrels on it, , sitting it up he put out a sign that stood upright, feet in the front and the back

Free Hot Cocoa!

Was what it read, just in case busy ponies on their way were feeling a chill that penetrated the bones, and froze their very cores! He had a nice stack of foam cups with tight lids, ready to be filled with the hot brew! He himself was perfectly warm, save for his scarf he currently had a glowing aura around his body that was the same golden color as the orange streaks in his hair, it was keeping him perfectly warm, and since it was hard to cast long lasting heat bubbles around others...

The hot cocoa would have to work!

"Hot cocoa! Free hot cocoa!" He called out, ringing a silver bell loudly "Hot cocoa! Come get a cup of Hearths warming cheer!"

Memory Lane trudged through the snow-covered streets of Canterlot in the pursuit of supplies for his "friend's" Hearth's Warming Eve dance party, inwardly swearing to fill said friend's present with every bit of ice and snow he brushed out of his coat later. It hadn't been snowing as badly when he left the School for Gifted Unicorns for Canterlot proper, so he had only dressed with a scarf, his yellow saddlebags, and a yellow school-issue tie-up wool vest; he was quickly regretting dressing so lightly as he shivered in the cold, eyes on the ground as he focused solely on putting one hoof in-front of the other. Why wasn't this on today's weather report? Oh, what does it matter now.

"Hot cocoa! Free hot cocoa!"

Lane paused in his steps when he heard that call and the accompanying bell jingling, shivering as a brief but bone-chilling gust of wind blew over him. Afterwards, it took him all of two seconds to decided to turn and briskly trot towards the source of the alluring prospect: a snow-white unicorn with a downright fiery mess of a mane and a cart full of barrels, beside a sign repeating the call of cocoa.

As he approached, Lane looked over the stallion manning the cart; he swore he recognized him, with his unique mane, irritatingly reflective glasses, and faint golden aura surrounding his body. He mentally shrugged, deciding he'd figure it out as he went and smiled, "Good day, sir. It's quite chilly out today, isn't it?"

[QuickLime]

"A right frigid one!" He said and grinned sitting the bell down "Hey you go to the School don't you? I think I'v seen you around Campus!" Ember grinned, focusing a bit to levitate a cup over to a barrel, turning a spout to make the cup fill up with warm brown liquid, with just enough warm froth at the top! He got out a spray can of Whipped cream and sprayed a dollop on top before fastening the lid on,levitating it over to the other unicorn "Here you are! You look like you are frozen to your bones!"

[Slazer]

Lane smiled as he grasped the cup from the fellow student with the blue-green aura of his telekinesis, "Thank you. And yes, I am from the School- tenth year student and prefect, as a matter of fact." He said before taking a sip of the cocoa, delighting in the sweet chocolatey flavor and light foam of the whipped cream rolling over his tongue and warming his body. He looked up and beamed at the unicorn, "This is excellent! Did you brew this yourself, mister... I'm quite sorry, I forgot to ask for your name."

Brrrr, Vinyl was feeling the winter chill alright - she'd been out doing some last minute hearths warming shopping and had gotten caught out in the coldest part of the night as a result.Her hooves were numbing, her two-toned mane was starting to form frosty patches, and her teeth were chattering so hard you'd think she was practicing for a band - tonight was just a terrible night to be caught outside unprepared!

All in all, the DJ mare needed a drink, fast...but she was pretty low on bits and was relatively far from home enough for that to prove a problem in achieving as she was right now - as it stood, the likelyhood of her getting anything nice and warm in her belly was a pretty low chance overall, and something that just made the poor cold mare ever more unhappy with the situation, a small utterance of curses escaping her muzzle as she trudged through the night towards the direction of home.

What she didn't know was that her luck was about to change in a small but entirely pleasant way...as she could make out a loud call in the distance!

"Hot cocoa! Free hot cocoa!"

" Hot...cocoa?! " Vinyl utters to herself with a grin - she takes off into a gallop despite her cold hooves...her magically lifted shopping drifting along behind her as she made her way towards the source of the sound with the thought of nothing else but a delicious mug of hot chocolate beiing but mere moments away, something that had seemed all but impossible just a short time ago. Licking her muzzle in anticipation, she finds her way to the destination quickly enough and has to mentally restrain herself from hugging the pony running the stall, whoever he was!

" SCORE! " Vinyl calls out loud, triumphantly. " Seriously, this is JUST what I need for tonight...was beginnin' to think I'd freeze my flanks to death out here! "

Fire Heart grumbled as she shivered while trotting down the street of Canterlot. Thankfully this time the older filly wasn't caught in a snowstorm which did happen to her before and almost ended in tragedy but then turned into the most amazing night she had. Now she was prepared, wrapping herself in a coat, hat, and scarf, leaving only her legs and her amber colored eyes exposed. Sure she looked a little strange, but looks weren't top priority compared to her comfort.

She paused and caught a whiff of something sweet, something chocolatey. She trotted to where she saw a colt serving hot chocolate from a stand. She happened to catch a glimpse of his cutie mark, a flaming heart, that looked close to hers! Maybe this was yet another pony that could do fire magic. She certainly seemed to attract many of them like Bonfire, Spirit Flame and recently a pony named Pyro. She guessed that ponies of a certain type herded together.

"Hi there," she said as she used her levitation to pull an opening in her scarf enough for her muzzle to stick out and allow her to talk better, "Can I have some of that hot chocolate? I really need something to warm up. Oh and by any chance can you create fire as your talent. I only ask because of your mark."

[Elderflower]

Brrrr, what a day! What a cold, cold day! Large, fluffy snowflakes whirled lazily down from the skies above to be sent skittering every now and then across the cobbled roads of Canterlot by stray gusts of wind. With every bitter breath, Sugar Star found herself shivering and tightened her standard issue REA scarf a little around her neck. It felt much colder up in the skies, wheeling about through the falling snow. Despite that, however, the golden-hued pegasus was beaming. She had a certain fondness for winter, for the quiet atmosphere it created and for the way it brought ponies together to share their warmth. Winter was the time of year that even strangers could become like family, especially when they faced the cold together. Not to mention how every one of the most romantic scenes in all of her favourite comics and stories seemed to happen on Hearth’s Warming Eve! On days like today, with huge snowflakes!

Oh, she could just see it now…a handsome stallion sweeps onto the scene, smiling at her like she was the only thing in the world that mattered. There would be snowflakes melting in his mane as he adjusted her hat and scarf to keep her warm. Then the music would start, soft and sweet as he made his love confession…and then they’d kiss! Hee hee!

Oh yes, Sugar Star loved winter. Especially now that she had new lambswool lining for her armour. It had been wanting for an upgrade to the lining throughout all of autumn, but Sugar just hadn’t bothered since she wasn’t too cold… But of course as soon as the freezing temperatures hit, the biting cold of that metal made it seem like the old fleece lining wasn’t there at all. Taking a deep breath of fresh, clean air the mare shivered once more and tilted towards home, flapping her wings to carry her forward. It wasn’t before long, however, that the tinkling of a silver bell and the cry of a stallion caught her attention from up above!

“Free Hot Cocoa!”

The mare looked down, and among the streets noticed ponies gathering around a wagon where a fiery unicorn was handing out hot cocoa in the cold. What a lovely gesture! Her smile widening, the specialist drifted towards the ground and (despite the bitter cold stiffening her wings and legs) made a graceful little landing a small ways away from the cart to avoid covering anypony with the snow she stirred up. With the straight posture and slightly distant friendliness she assumed as an REA pony on duty, Sugar Star walked over to the wagon to wait her turn for cocoa.

“Good afternoon, folks,” she said, smiling, “I trust all is well for you in Canterlot this afternoon?”

[SunsetSombra]

Well, this seemed to be an interesting little line - Vinyl looked about her as she observed the surrounding ponies, all of whom were entirely excited for this rather delicious little winter warmer of a treat, which of course Vinyl was quite eagerly anticipating herself. Just the mere thought of the hot cocoa was enough to stir a little spark of warmth in the mare, even if it was merely an illusion, and give the unicorn a brief glimpse of the deliciousness that most certainly lay ahead.

The latest arrival took no time in announcing hers arrival - something that Vinyl herself could probably relate to when it came to arrivin' at the scene for a gig!

“Good afternoon, folks,” she said, smiling, “I trust all is well for you in Canterlot this afternoon?”

the pegasus seemed to have quite the air of confidence and manner that Vinyl had to assume was of the Royal Guard or some such authority...she gave a wry smile and playfully saluted the mare with her trademark smile not too far behind as she stretched and flicked her tail lightly in amusement. " Everythin' seems to be runnin' smoother than a newly pressed record, missy...'least from where I see it. "

Well, if she was gonna be in a line with a bunch of ponies she didn't really know, the most she could really do was jus' roll with it and see where it took her - heck, maybe it'd even prove to be an enjoyable memory sometime down the road...you really never can tell how a party will go 'til things begin. afterall!

[QuickLime]

"This is excellent! Did you brew this yourself, mister... I'm quite sorry, I forgot to ask for your name."

"Yes! Fresh this morning! And I'm Ember Glow, it's a pleasure to meet a fellow student" He said "I hope you enjoy the cocoa! It'll nip the cold right out of you that's for sure"

" Hot...cocoa?! "

" SCORE! " Vinyl calls out loud, triumphantly. " Seriously, this is JUST what I need for tonight...was beginnin' to think I'd freeze my flanks to death out here! "

His eyes bulged as the famous Vinyl Scratch bolted over, his cheeks red but he smiled as he levitated over a nice piping hot cup to her "Here you are ma'am enjoy! I figured that everypony could use something warm to drink! In this weather their hooves would fall off otherwise!" And the last thing anypony needed was their hooves to fall off!

"Hi there," she said as she used her levitation to pull an opening in her scarf enough for her muzzle to stick out and allow her to talk better, "Can I have some of that hot chocolate? I really need something to warm up. Oh and by any chance can you create fire as your talent. I only ask because of your mark."

After he was sure Vinyl had her coffee, he levitated a freshly poured cup over to the other mare , flashing her a smile "Yes of course you may! Enjoy that! And well sort of! My special talent is this spell that's around me now, see the glow? around me? See this is my spell that lets me trap my body heat in! I can cast it on other ponies but it's hard, especially when they go out of a certain range, but I can also make a dang good cup of coco! I hope you enjoy it miss..?"

[Lux]

"Thanks," Fire said while levitating the cup towards her. Even using her magic proved to be difficult as the cold caused the cup to wiggle slightly in the grasp of the red aura that surrounded it. Still she was able to get it safely to her without causing any of the precious warm goodness from falling out. After taking a sip, she immediately felt better as the liquid heated her from the inside out.

"Hey that really did the trick. I feel warmer already! The cold bothers me sort of, something that I was born with. So your talent isn't fire then but heat. Well you must be warm then no matter how old it gets outside, right?"

[SunsetSombra]

" Here you are ma'am enjoy! I figured that everypony could use something warm to drink! In this weather their hooves would fall off otherwise!"

Vinyl snickers a little and gives a small nod. " yeah, Don't I just know it too? " she replies with a small wink over the shades, taking a quick sip of the hot delicious fluid - it was thick, creamy and tasted of some of the richest and most tasty chocolate she'd had in a while - although, she noted as she felt the familiar tingling on the tongue, it was probably just a little TOO hot to take in too quickly.

" Geebuz, this is good stuff! " she says with a small smile on the muzzle, a small cocoa-moustache adorning her muzzle. " Haven't had cocoa this good in a long time! "

She blows on the hot cup and takes a deep sniff of the delicious scent of chocolate - what better way to spend a cold night than with a fantastic hot drink?
