ICE CREAM PARLOR... OPEN POST

[ If somebody approaches the ice cream parlor, they'll notice something odd. Most notably, that there are horses milling around outside. They're not even tied up or anything! Sheesh. Secondly, that there's a few bales of hay scattered around outside for the horses.

Heading inside, it's even more noticeable that something is amiss. There are no humans inside. Instead, behind the counter is a small purple unicorn. With an ice cream scoop in her mouth. A rather large chart of the shop's various treats and specialties was pinned to the wall where she could easily glance at it, and she seems to be preparing the various treats as described. As made obvious by the fact that there are dozens of them lined up on the counters, perfectly formed and weighed out to the exact specifications.

There's also a larger dark blue pony, with both horns and wings, although she seems more content to be acting as a taste tester and occasionally grabbing things from higher shelves.

....As soon as anybody walks in, they both stop what they're doing to stare. ]

[All he wanted was some ice cream. That's IT. He kind of stops dead in the doorway, staring at the sight before him]

...And now I'm going crazy.
doublethefun: (cloudy)

[oh good. At least Spike seems to be okay. Even if he now thinks that colorful ponies are abnormal.

She pushes a large banana split towards him. It's totally Princess Approved.]
huffythedragon: ([H] Can't carry all these feelings)

[personal profile] huffythedragon 2012-07-24 08:10 pm (UTC)(link)
[A pony is nuzzling him. An ice-cream covered pony is nuzzling him. Oh and another is actually offering him ice cream. Yep. Definitely crazy. He steps back a little confused]

What is even going on right now?
doublethefun: (definitely not l'oreal)

[personal profile] doublethefun 2012-07-24 08:26 pm (UTC)(link)
[there's a chuckle from this pony as she saunters on over, holding a damp towel to Twilight.]
huffythedragon: ([H] Cool story bro)

[personal profile] huffythedragon 2012-07-24 08:31 pm (UTC)(link)
[He awkwardly pats the nice little pony on the head, before trying to pull himself away]

Okaaaaay, possibly rabid animals. [Backing towards the door]
doublethefun: (no you're just an idiot)

[alskdfa]

Thou art so... [ugh. Humans. She reaches over the counter and picks up a pad of paper and a pen.]
huffythedragon: ([H] Crushed dreams)

[personal profile] huffythedragon 2012-07-24 08:49 pm (UTC)(link)
[The ponies look sad now. And they're still whinnying.

...MAYBE HOUSE DRUGGED HIM
]

That dastardly villain!
doublethefun: (welllll)

[personal profile] doublethefun 2012-07-24 09:19 pm (UTC)(link)
[she's got a look of utter confusion as well as she sets down the pad and pen.]

I cannot even pretend to understand the context behind that statement.
huffythedragon: ([H] Most beautiful girl in the world)

[personal profile] huffythedragon 2012-07-24 09:22 pm (UTC)(link)
[DAMNIT HOUSE WHY?!!!.

Still, he gives the ponies a look
]

...I guess I should get you guys back to the stables, in case you're NOT figments of my imagination. Where's your bridles go?

[This was obviously a rhetorical question as he starts to search for something he can lead the ponies out with]
doublethefun: (gtfo)

[personal profile] doublethefun 2012-07-24 10:20 pm (UTC)(link)
[Spike, you're getting the most disdainful look ever.]
huffythedragon: ([H] Unimpressed with your shit)

[personal profile] huffythedragon 2012-07-24 10:28 pm (UTC)(link)
Man how am I supposed to get you guys back to the stables without any reigns?

[Looking around for something to substitute]
craggyfaced: (what is this sorcery?)

[personal profile] craggyfaced 2012-07-24 11:52 pm (UTC)(link)
[Well, there's at least one person in this town that didn't get pulled into this family reunion mess. Durge still hasn't figured out where everyone else has gone, but it appeared he was tasked with caretaking at the stables - so it makes his job rather difficult when he arrives this morning to find all of them gone. It took him some time to track the delinquent animals to town and at last to this stop, where he pauses to take in the piles of hay with a frown...how irregular. Did the owner find them and take them in, and if so, why did they not alert him?

He pokes his head in then and instantly see in the two ponies, one of which he recognizes, which some mixture of confusion and relief
]

Oh. Princess...
doublethefun: (grouchtastic)

[personal profile] doublethefun 2012-07-25 12:18 am (UTC)(link)
[Luna nods in agreement. Heck, she's most likely even more out of practice when it comes to writing with her mouth.]
doublethefun: (pony games like monopony)

[personal profile] doublethefun 2012-07-25 12:22 am (UTC)(link)
[she nods a greeting at Durge, ears perked up happily. Hey, at least somepony remembers her.]

This is Sir Durge. We met when he was transformed into a donkey and when we were fillies.
huffythedragon: ([H] But WHY is the world round?)

[personal profile] huffythedragon 2012-07-25 06:39 pm (UTC)(link)
[Spike frowns, looking at the paper. The pony wrote the word 'no' THE PONY WROTE THE WORD NO.

And then he screams and bolts for the door
]

THE PONIES KNOW ENGLISH!!!
doublethefun: (welllll)

[personal profile] doublethefun 2012-07-25 09:49 pm (UTC)(link)
[staring as well]

Was that too heavy-hoofed?
craggyfaced: (what on eldh?)

[personal profile] craggyfaced 2012-08-01 02:48 am (UTC)(link)
[I have no idea either, so let's go with yes, since he'd be lonely otherwise]

A friend of yours, my lady?
doublethefun: (welllll)

[personal profile] doublethefun 2012-08-01 02:55 am (UTC)(link)
Dost thou know of the circumstances surrounding this change? Our own attempts at gathering information has been rather unsuccessful, to say the least.
asaraindrop: (and around [ somewhere for you ])

[personal profile] asaraindrop 2012-08-01 08:02 am (UTC)(link)
[ Ice cream? Yes please. One scoop of vanilla please-

Except... ]
Woah. [ There's ponies? ]
doublethefun: (foal play)

[personal profile] doublethefun 2012-08-03 05:38 am (UTC)(link)
[she looks up at the newcomer, and then deliberately, delicately, continues enjoying her sundae. Hmm. She can't say she's met Prim before.]
craggyfaced: (Default)

[personal profile] craggyfaced 2012-08-03 06:18 pm (UTC)(link)
Pleased to meet you, Twilight Sparkle. [Her offer her a slight bow before turning back to Luna]

It seems most of the others are being housed at a camp nearby, though they don't seem to recall living in the castle.

Hello?

[ Prim's call is half at the pony, but also half to see if there's anyone around in the store. Who's pony is it, who let it in and... why is it eating ice cream? Is that good for them? Prim wasn't sure if it was

But after hearing no one else in the shop Prim, slowly, steps towards the pony. Animal lover here she comes ]


Hi there.
doublethefun: (welllll)

[personal profile] doublethefun 2012-08-05 03:55 am (UTC)(link)
[she looks up again, head tilted to the side a bit.]

Dost thou wish to have some? [Prim might or might not be able to understand her, depending on whatever the castle had decided to do, but she'll try anyway.]
asaraindrop: (that look [ without it there ])

[personal profile] asaraindrop 2012-08-06 03:44 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Sadly Prim can't understand her, but with the pony looking friendly Prim keeps walking a little closer until she's just a foot away ]

Do you like it? [ The ice cream ]
doublethefun: (nometh)

[personal profile] doublethefun 2012-08-06 03:56 pm (UTC)(link)
[oh well. At least she doesn't look like she's about to shoo them out.

Luna just nods and doesn't appear to be overly concerned about the approaching human. Instead, she just takes another lick of the fast disappearing sundae.]
asaraindrop: (and around [ somewhere for you ])

[personal profile] asaraindrop 2012-08-06 05:30 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Was that... the pony nodded? Prim definitely noticed that and goes to sit near her at the table ]

Can you understand me?
doublethefun: (gracing you with my royal presence)

[personal profile] doublethefun 2012-08-06 05:36 pm (UTC)(link)
[she looks the girl in the eye and then nods again.

...She also briefly wonders if she's going to run away screaming like Spike did.]
asaraindrop: (Default)

[personal profile] asaraindrop 2012-08-08 06:11 pm (UTC)(link)
[ You're safe from the running and screaming, because Prim finds this super cool. She's wondered what her cat thinks sometimes so to have a pony that understands and can answer? Awesome ]

It's nice to meet you.

[ Prim gives her a smile, and tentatively reaches a hand out to her, maybe to pet? Or to shake a hoof? ]

My name's Prim.
doublethefun: (pony games like monopony)

[personal profile] doublethefun 2012-08-08 11:54 pm (UTC)(link)
[she relaxes a bit and then holds out a silver shod hoof for a shake, as she had learnt all those months ago.

And then, with a pen between her teeth, she slowly, painstakingly writes out "LUNA" on a spare menu.]
asaraindrop: (that look [ try and have ])

[personal profile] asaraindrop 2012-08-09 07:48 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Prim's smile remains as she shakes the hoof, her hands feeling a strange itchy sensation (damn that loss of hers) but she ignores it, thinking it's just something on the pony's hoof

And then she watches, moving the ice cream a little out of the way to give her more room ]


L-u-n-a. Hi, Luna. [ Now it was definitely nice to meet you ] I've never met a pony like you.
