As the haze of sleep slowly fades, Nar becomes aware of his surroundings. Cookie has her hands on the side of his bed, and is jumping up and down while trying to get his attention. "Santa came!" She squeals, then turns to rush out of his room before he can even respond. Welp, no time to rub the sleep from his eyes! Gotta get downstairs and see what Santa brought Cookie!
Shuffling down the stairs to the living room, Nar sees Cookie not-so-patiently stood in front of the Hearth's Warming tree, loaded with presents. A figure in the corner of his vision causes Nar to look to the corner of the living room for a moment. A translucent face stares back at him. He rubs his eyes, but the face only moves a little to it's right. "Papa needs to go take his medicine, Pumpkin. Do you think you can wait to open presents for anther minute?" Cookie's excitement is hardly dulled. She nods her head excitedly.
One visit to the master bathroom later, Nar returns to his living room, and plops down on his couch. The face in the corner is gone. "Alright pumpkin! Let's see what Santa got you!"
For the next 10 minutes, Nar watches as Cookie opens present, after present from Santa. There's new dolls for her dollhouse, some new winter clothes, a cute little jean dress, tons of other toys, and a little pair of roller skates, with all the proper safety equipment! All the gifts leave Cookie so excited, she can barely sit still for breakfast! Nar just hopes she'll get tuckered out by the end of the day, because he's heard that her grandparents have a very special gift for her today! #rp
Nar stuffs his own stocking for Hearth's Warming with a bottle of 2.5 million scoville hot sauce.

Today, she, and ALL of her family are going to the Ponyville Hearth's Warming village in the park! Both her aunties, Mimi, and Pawpaw, Uncle Juno, and even Aunt Ruby will be there! Sure, she gets presents from Santa tomorrow, but she likes getting to see her family more!
After an afternoon full of holiday fun, it's finally time for a little break. Cookie stands by the fire pit with everyone, except for her papa, and Uncle Juno, as her mimi helps her make smores! Not too far away, Papa, and Uncle Juno are playing hockey on the frozen pond with some teenage boys. Cookie thinks she remembers seeing some of them when she went to the high school hockey game that one time!
Betty places a perfectly toasted marshmallow between two pieces of graham cracker, with a piece of chocolate below. After allowing it to cool, she hands the smore to Cookie, who wastes no time in devouring it! "Now now Cookie. Don't eat too fast! You need to chew your food properly!" Betty giggles, Cookie smiling up at her with melted chocolate smeared on the corners of her mouth. Cookie giggles as Betty reaches out with a handkerchief to wipe the chocolate away.
On the frozen pond, Nar claps after Earl manages to score a goal for his team. Both teams have been playing fairly lax. They're just here to have fun! No need to strain themselves! This has been a wonderful Hearth's Warming Eve, but Nar thinks it could be even better! He really hopes Autumn got his invitation! #rp

Cookie is spending her second day of Winter Break at home with her papa. After spending their morning playing together, Cookie has retired to her room upstairs to play with her dolls while her papa makes lunch.
Cookie is in the middle of a very dramatic scene of Mr, and Mrs. Holly trying to figure out who burnt the pie in the oven. The couple is distraught that the food they were going to bring to Ms. Ginger's housewarming party is ruined!
"Hello?" Nar's voice echoes from the kitchen downstairs. Cookie sets her dolls down, and stops to listen. "Who is it?" Who is papa talking to? Cookie can't hear anyone. Curious, Cookie exits her room, and heads downstairs to see who papa is talking to. When she gets downstairs, she sees her papa poking his head out from the kitchen, looking at the front door. "Pumpkin, is someone at the door?" Cookie takes a peek through the windows beside the door, but there's nobody there. "No papa!" She responds, turning back around. "Who were you talking to?" She questions, rocking back and forth on her feet.
Nar approaches Cookie, and kneels before her, as to be eye level with her. "Sorry pumpkin." He pauses for a moment. Trying to think of how he should explain things to her. "Papa's brain doesn't work like other people's. Sometimes, his brain makes him hear, or see things that aren't there." At this, Cookie stands still. Her head tilts to the side slightly. "Why, papa?" "Well, pumpkin... Papa didn't take good care of himself for a while. Papa did lots of things that he shouldn't have. Papa pushed himself too hard, for too long, and it started making papa's brain act differently." She's too young to understand the concept of mental illness yet, but by the look of concern on her face, it looks like she's putting the pieces together. Cookie wraps her arms around her father's shoulder. "Are you okay papa?"
Nar returns the hug, picking Cookie up to carry her. "Yes pumpkin, I'm okay. The doctor gave me medicine to help me, and is helping papa get a service dog to help too." The first part of his sentence seems to go over her head. She hears the word 'dog' , and is suddenly, VERY excited. "Are we getting a puppy, papa?!" Nar chuckles, making his way over to the kitchen. "Yes, but it will be a veeeery special dog. It's specially trained to help people like papa. So we have to be extra polite, and not bother them too much." Cookie nods her head in understanding. "Now. How would you like to help me make lunch?" #rp

View MoreMost Psychiatrist offices weren't usually open on the weekend, and they usually had to have appointments booked a good while in advance. Thankfully for Nar, he's managed to find an office that's both open on the weekends, and had an opening for an appointment the day after he called.
Cookie was dropped off at her grandparents this morning. Afterwards, Juno came by in the band van to pick up Nar, then Asuka, and take them to the psychiatrist's office. During the car ride, Nar thinks he hears someone talking about how pretty the morning sun is briefly. The voice sounds familiar, but he can't quite place it.
After arriving at the office, the three wait in the waiting room until Nar is called into the office. Asuka, and Juno wait outside. Juno finds himself unable to sit still. Worry eating away at his nerves as his mind races to conclusions. He bounces his knee, constantly sweeps his view across the waiting room, and even bites his nails a few times. At some point, Asuka places her hand on top of his. She assures him that Nar is okay. She understands his worry, but she trusts the psychiatrist to properly diagnose Nar, and prescribe a treatment.
After 30 minutes, Nar emerges from the office with a few sheets of paperwork, and a somber smile on his lips. When he breaks the news, Juno almost shuts down entirely. Asuka feels her heart drop out of her chest.
Schizophrenia.
There is no cure, but there is treatment that can help with the symptoms. Some of which, have already been prescribed for Nar. After Nar breaks the news to his friends, the three embrace in a group hug. His friends vowing to be there for him. Forever, and always.
Despite the diagnosis, Nar is surprised at how... accepting... he is of it. Sure, he does feel a bit of dread in the bottom of his heart, but for the most part, he's already accepted it. He's played too fast, and loose with his health, physical, and mental, his whole life. Something was bound to happen sooner or later. He's just surprised it took this long. The Astral Highway System has many documented cases of causing lasting mental damage on those who enter it. With the frequency he's gone into it, and how deep he's ventured, this is something he expected to happen eventually.
For now, his focus is on preparing himself to live with this. First, he needs to pick up the medications the psychiatrist prescribed. Then, he's going to look into getting a service animal trained to help with this kind of thing. Cookie's been wanting a dog anyway.
What he's not looking forward to, is breaking the news to his other friends, and family. His parents will be devastated, and it might take some time for Cookie to fully understand. He really hopes Autumn won't freak out too much. He wouldn't fault her if this was too much for her. He's made her worry about him enough as is. #rp

Asuka looks at her brother from across a booth inside Ponyville's local Mexican restaurant. Her face is awash with concern. "You said you heard Cookie's voice from her room, while she was at school. Then, you thought you saw dad wave from his house this morning, when he wasn't home." Asuka wants to make sure she's getting her facts right. "Yeah." Nar responds, far more relaxed than he should be. Next to Asuka, Juno can hardly believe what he's hearing. "Dude. How can you be so nonchalant about this?" Nar simply shrugs his shoulders. The fact that Nar is so chill about this is freaking Juno out more than the possible hallucinations are freaking Nar out.
"You need to schedule an appointment with a psychiatrist." Asuka states suddenly, and with the same level of bluntness she gives her more stubborn patients. However, to her surprise, Nar does not dismiss her concerns, as he would with a physical injury. "Yeah. I think you're right. I should get this checked out before it gets worse." Nar leans over to grab a chip from the middle of the table, and scoops some cheese dip onto it. "Don't worry. I'm taking this seriously. It's just that I don't think freaking out about it is going to help. It might just make it worse." Then, his head suddenly turns slightly. He leans to look past Juno, towards the front door.
"Nar?" Asuka's voice causes Nar's attention to return to the table. "Sorry. I thought I saw Roy at the front door." Juno, and Asuka both look over their shoulders, but neither spot Roy. Both return their attention to Nar. Juno stares with wide eyes. Asuka has only one question. "When are you going to schedule that appointment?" #rp

He's more like a doordasher, but for packages. It's quicker than the postal service, or a shipping company, but at the cost of a higher price, and a size limit on packages. Even still, the app Nar uses has been booming with deliveries as of late! So much so that he's already hit his maximum allowed hours for this week! (The people who run the app refuse to pay more than 2 hours of overtime. Even during the holidays.)
With nothing to do, Nar is spending his day at home. Finally taking some time to rest after being on the move all week. He didn't realize just how worn out he really was until he plopped down on his couch this morning, and nearly couldn't get up.
After making himself a light brunch (a bacon, and egg sandwich, which is light for him), Nar sits on his living room couch, and boots up his switch to play something casual while he eats. Then, after he's done eating, he might take a nap. After letting his food digest, of course!
"Papa!"
Cookie calls from upstairs. "What, Pumpkin?" Nar responds, looking up from his switch. Cookie does not answer. For a moment, worry begins to well up in the pit of his stomach. Then, a thought occurs to him. Cookie is at school right now. Hearth's Warming break starts tomorrow.
So, why did he just hear her voice?
"Pumpkin?" Nar calls out again, setting his switch, and sandwich down to stand up. He makes his way up the stairs. There is still no response. Thoughts race in Nar's mind. Did he forget to drop Cookie off this morning? No, he did. Maybe it was one of her toys in her room? No. Sounded too clear to be a toy. What if... Could it be someone, or something trying to trick him? How would they have gotten in without him noticing though? Wait. Aki. She's broken in before. Maybe she somehow managed to escape from jail, and broke in.
Nar quietly heads back downstairs, and reaches into his satchel for his adventuring axe. Once it's in his hands, he slips back upstairs. Placing one hand on the doorknob of Cookie's door, Nar prepares himself for some sort of ambush. He takes a deep breath, then mentally counts down from three. On one, he flings Cookie's door open, and shifts to hold his axe in both hands.
There's nobody there. The room looks exactly as it was left this morning. A quick sweep of the room, and the closet tells Nar nothing is off.
Maybe he's just stressed, and tired. Brunch can wait. It looks like he needs a little nap first. #rp
