View MoreNow that the snow blanketing Ponyville has mostly melted, the town has begun to return to it's usual daily activities. As the workday begins for many in the town, a young mare walks down the sidewalk of Harmony street. Her hands are occupied by the drink holder full of coffees she was sent to grab for her boss. When she'd applied to be a secretary at an office job, she'd expected to take calls, schedule appointments, and write emails. Not be the office delivery gal.
The young mare's thoughts begin to wander after she sees a blue door in the side of a building down the street. She's always wondered who put all those blue doors everywhere, and why they put a glowing star on them. They're almost always in really weird locations too! Like this one! It's on the side of a building with no indication it's an entrance to the building! On her way to the coffee shop, she saw one at the end of an alley! Creepy!
The young mare yelps, and jumps back as the blue door flies open only 2 feet in front of her. Somehow, she manages to avoid spilling a single drop of the precious coffee under her care. Half a second later, a figure launches out from behind the door. The door slams behind him, seemingly on it's own. Annoyed, and pretty peeved to have almost had scalding coffee splashed on her, the mare shouts an angry "Jerk!" at the figure. Now that she can actually see him, she's a little surprised to see him wearing pretty light clothing for such cold temperatures. Wait... Is he rollerblading? The sidewalks are still a little icy! That has to be dangerous!
Nar peers over his shoulder, and is met with an annoyed looking mare holding a drink carrier full of coffees. He lifts a hand in an apologetic wave, accompanied by a shouted "Sorry!" Then, he turns his head back forwards. Just in time to see the light pole rapidy approaching. A quick swerve into the street for just a second, and he narrowly avoids denting his skull.
Escape From the City by Ted Poley blasts in Nar's ears as he skates around Ponyville. With Hearth's Warming coming up, deliveries have practically tripled in the courier app he delivers for. Considering he's one of only two "Express Deluxe" couriers in Ponyville, his app has been filled to the brim with delivery requests. Granted, it's not like Nar is required to take every delivery that pops up. He more than meets the quota to keep his "Express Deluxe" status, but making deliveries like this gives him an excuse to go skating. Something he doesn't get to do much these days.
Upon arriving to the delivery address for his current delivery, Nar pulls his goggles up off of his eyes. He makes his way up the driveway to a house in the suburbs. As he approaches the front door, he opens his satchel to remove a package from within. With a ring of the doorbell, eh alerts the residents of his presence. Using Thaumaturgy, he amplifies his voice to be three times louder, then shouts "Delivery!" Now just to wait for the door to open. He has to get a signature for this delivery, so he's really hoping the time he was given on the app is accurate. Otherwise, he's gonna have to make the delivery again later. #rp

View MoreTonight, Juno is spending the night after one of his neighbors almost lit their apartment complex on fire. After putting Cookie to bed, Nar joins his best friend in the living room to play some games before they head to bed. As the two play, they converse, and reminisce about the past.
"You know." Nar begins, just after the two finish a level of the beat em up they were playing. "I've been thinking about building a treehouse in the backyard for Cookie." Juno does not respond. Instead, his head slowly turns to fix Nar with a disapproving glare. Nar doesn't notice the glare at first. He's too busy picking the next level. After a moment, Nar looks over to Juno for a moment, then looks back to his TV. After a second, the glare finally registers, causing Nar's head to whip back to Juno. "What?" He asks.
"Remember summer of senior year?" Is all he gets in reply. "That was the one time!" "We got stuck in the treehouse for 3 hours because you forgot the saw." "Things are different now! I keep my tools in my satchel anyway!" "Knowing you, you'd forget your satchel, and get stuck again." "I'm gonna make you sleep in the basement if you keep this up." #rp

All throughout the town, all is quiet. Even the Hearth's Warming village in the park has gone still this morning.
Along the snow filled streets, and sidewalks, three young adults trudge. On the right is Juno, wearing a simple hoodie, beanie, and snow boots. In the middle is Asuka, in her usual gray hoodie, and jeans. Complete with ear muffs, a scarf, and her own snow boots. On the left is Nar. Wearing his same old getup. The only change being a long sleeve shirt under his normal hawiian shirt. Despite the snow, he appears to be able to use his rollerskates just fine.
"This sucks. Everything's closed." Juno huffs, kicking a pile of snow into mist. "Yeah. I know. I wanted to go to Pancake Cabin today." Nar comments, nodding his head solemnly. "What?" Juno's head tilts in confusion. "Dude, they don't have Pancake Cabin here. They have Waffle Hut." "Dude, they opened a Pancake Cabin on Harmony Street like, 2 months ago." "WHAT?!" Nar's revelation nearly causes Juno's soul to leave his body. At this, Asuka joins in. "Yeah. You didn't know?" Juno rigorously shakes his head. "Of course I didn't! Why else would I be THIS surprised?!" "Dude." Nar begins. "You gotta get out more." Asuka finishes. The two siblings shaking their heads in unison.
As the three continue their walk, the two siblings continuously tease Juno about him not knowing about the Pancake Cabin on Harmony Street. Nar, and Asuka are definitely enjoying their walk. It reminds them of Winters back in Vanhoover. Juno, however, cannot wait for the walk (and his embarrassment) to end.

For the longest time it was "Chillout" from the River City Girls 2 soundtrack. Then, it switched between a few songs from the Wind Breaker, and Air Gear soundtracks for a bit.
Now, "Cheap Shop" from the Scott Pilgrim game is playing on loop in his living room. Nar still has no idea where the music is coming from. Until it becomes an issue though, he's fine just letting it play. It dies down, or disappears when he needs it too anyway. #rp
Nar has been ice skating at the frozen pond in Ponyville park for about an hour now. He shows no signs of stopping either.

Despite the blanket of snow over the town, a crowd gathers in the park for the opening of Ponyville's Hearth's Warming village. Booths sit all across the park with vendors preparing to sell food, clothes, and other holiday wares. One booth by the frozen pond is selling rental ice skates, while another nearby has little smores kits for the fire pits dotted across the park. At the center of it all, creatures crowd around the park's amphitheater. Most in the park are wrapped in comfy winter coats. Complete with winter gloves, hats, and boots.
Atop the stage of the amphitheater, protected by a large awning, Attack on Mango checks their sound gear, and instruments. Compared to the crowd, most of the band seems quite underdressed for the cold. Despite that, they don't so much as sniffle. At the front, Nar rocks a 'Vacation Santa' outfit. Complete with santa pants, black, golden buckled boots, santa hat, bushy beard, and a red hawiian shirt with a simple, white long sleeve shirt underneath. Behind him, Juno stands in a perfect 'Buddy the Elf' costume. Beside him, Scrappy stands at her keyboard in full winter wear. Thick parka, earmuffs, thick beanie, woolen gloves, two pairs of pants, and snow boots. Behind them all, Asuka sits in a reindeer onesie, complete with LED red noise. She's running on 4 hours of sleep, and 2 pots of coffee. No amount of holiday cheer can remove the bags from her eyes, or the frown from her face. She tries to smile, but her cheeks feel far too heavy.
At the front of the crowd, Betty, and Kisho stand with their granddaughter, Cookie, and youngest daughter, Hiari. All eager for the festivities to start! Thankfully for them, that's exactly what the mayor is coming on stage to do! Nar steps aside to allow the mayor to use his microphone. She clears her throat, then in the cheeriest voice she can muster, she greets the crowd. The mayor goes on a short spiel about 'Hearth's Warming cheer', and 'the spirit of the holiday', that Nar finds touching, if a little corny, and obviously scripted. Once the speech is over, she introduces the band, and hurries off stage to get back to her warm office.
Once Nar regains control of his microphone, he steps up to it, a bright smile on his lips. "I know you guys are all eager to grab some hot cocoa, and get to the fire pits, so we'll make this quick! Hope this gets you all in the holiday mood!" Nar then whips his arm back to point at Scrappy, who eagerly begins the band's opening song.
(https://youtu.be/EPJnTM509NM?si=Rzp9e3ryBKwDvzbC Why yes, I do re-use this song every year.)
The sounds of festive chiptune rock fill the park. On the stage, Nar, and Juno dance around. The bell at the end of Juno's hat jingling wildly with his movements. Nar keeps hitting himself in the back of the head with the puffball at the end of his. Regardless, the two jump, twist, and dance all across the stage as they play. A quarter of the way through, Nar heads to the edge of the stage. His horn begins to glow as he uses his magic to continue playing. He kneels down, and leans over the edge of the stage, reaching out his arms. A second later, he pulls Cookie up onto the stage with him. There, she dances around the stage with her papa, as he returns to playing his bass normally. Cookie remains on stage for the rest of the band's set. Dancing, and singing along to the songs she knows. Nar even lowers his microphone so she can sing into it!
At the end of their set, the band helps pack away all their equipment before meeting up in front of the stage. By now, most of the crowd has dispersed, leaving Kisho, Betty, and Hiari to greet the band. The group converse for a few moments before an agreement is made. Time to grab some hot cocoa, and hit a fire pit! #rp

A blue door opens up on the outskirts of Ponyville. From the light that fills the opening. Nar emerges. His trip to, and from Vanhoover using the Astral Highway System has been long, but he's gotten back to Ponyville in the same day. Just as he told his mother he would. After stepping out of the door, Nar pulls his goggles up to get a better view of his surroundings. Looks like he's on the south edge of Ponyville. His mother's law office is on the north side of town. If he hurries, he can make it there before 7:40. Nar cracks a smirk to himself, and pulls his goggles back over his eyes. Air is pushed out of vents in his rollerblades due to the motors within, and soon, Nar is racing through the streets of Ponyville.
When he'd arrived at the headquarters of Winston's Arcane Technologies in the late afternoon, he hadn't expected to find Winston Dreamglow himself in the lobby. The two threw some verbal jabs at each other as Nar showed all his paperwork to the secretary. Then he got bounced around from department to department, until Nar told one of the employees about his contract with Yakushi and Friends law offices, and the app on his phone that shows where he is when he's on the job. That got him a meeting with the W.A.T legal team REAL quick. They handed over the relevant documents with quite a bit of threatening legal jargon that Nar could not give less of a shit about. Once he had the documents, he was on his way back to Ponyville. He'd had to eat lunch on the move, but that was fine. He knows his mother will treat him to somewhere nice as thanks for this.
"Look out!" A mare screams at Nar as he narrowly avoids slamming into her after rounding a corner. He gives her an apologetic wave, but does not look back, or slow down. After a few blocks, he turns to head down an alleyway shortcut that should shave his time by about 2 minutes. He finds that the alley has been blocked by a dumpster. Huh. That wasn't there the last time he used this shortcut. No matter. Quickly accelerating, Nar speeds down the alley. As he approaches the dumpster, he hops up to the right, wallriding the brick wall for a moment. Then, he hops up to his left. He throws his legs out to his side, and pushes off the top of the dumpster as he just barely clears it with a vault. Landing on the other side, he suppresses the urge to let out an excited whoop.
As the clock strikes 7:35 PM, Betty Yakushi waits in the lobby of her law offices. She's the only member of the office still here, besides their nighttime janitor. She's already called her husband to let him know she'll be home late tonight. She just doesn't know when. As she looks up to check the lobby's clock again, a blur of color from outside catches her attention. Betty stands from her seat, and approaches the office's front doors to open them. A second later, her son glides up to the doors. A big, goofy grin on his face. "Delivery for Yakushi and Friends law offices." He says, mildly winded. Nar then opens his satchel, and removes a folder filled to the brim with legal documents. It's still completely sealed. Betty takes the documents, and lays them on a nearby chair. She then turns to give her son a biiiig hug! "Thank you baby." Nar returns the hug. He almost jokes about her taking him out for breakfast tomorrow, but he knows she has a long night ahead of her. Instead, he simply tells her to call him when she gets done tonight so he can walk her home. Afterwards, mother and son break their embrace, and Nar makes his way home for some much-deserved pizza for dinner.

Otherwise, it's business as usual. For the law offices of Yakushi and Friends, that means dealing with stubborn companies that don't want to compensate injured workers. Their most recent case in particular being a really annoying one. A warehouse worker for a Winston's Arcane Technologies warehouse in Ponyville was injured when one of their machines, designed by the owner of the company, Winston Dreamglow, mind you, malfunctioned, and hit him with it's stored magical energy. With the extent of his injuries, he could end up with a VERY substantial payment that could include the equivalent of the company's usual retirement package.
Of course, W.A.T does NOT want to pay out tens of thousands, to possibly MILLIONS of bits to an injured worker. As such, their legal team has been deploying ever shady legal tactic they can to slow things down, and try to force the injured employee to take a much smaller settlement. This morning, lead partner of Yakushi and Friends, Betty Yakushi, woke up to a legal notice from W.A.T claiming that a piece of paperwork they'd been requesting for the past month was finally found, and ready. Except, this is only a day before it needs to be submitted to court, and somehow, they're avoiding having to do it themselves. W.A.T is demanding Yakushi and Friends pick it up today, or it will be archived. Worse yet, W.A.T is headquartered in Vanhoover. W.A.T probably thinks they've just won themselves a minor legal victory. Little do they know, Betty keeps the best courier in Ponyville around for just such an occasion. He's got a knack for making incredibly long distance deliveries in impossibly short amounts of time.
A folder with credentials, and legal documents is slipped into Nar's satchel. In the office of his mother, Betty, he, his mother, and her client sit. After a briefing on the situation, Nar readily agreed to pick up the documents from W.A.T, and have them delivered before the end of the day. As Nar stands to leave, he turns to the injured client, and gives him a confident smirk. "Don't you worry my guy. I'll have these documents back here before you know it!" The worker smiles a relieved smile, sticking out his good hand for a shake. "I can't thank you enough Mr. Nar!" At this, Nar lets out a short chuckle. "Anything to help you guys, and get back at that doucheba-." Nar is cut off by a shout from his mother. "Language, young man!" "Right." Nar coughs. "Sorry." As Nar stands to leave, his mother rises with him. "You be careful Nar! I know how prone you are to getting into trouble with those doors you use to get around!" Nar gives his mother a nod, only to pause momentarily as she leans over her desk to kiss his cheek. "I mean it!" She emphasizes. Nar gives another nod, then turns to the injured client. As he pulls his goggles down over his eyes with his magic, he gives the client a mock salute, then turns to leave the office.
As the door begins to close, Nar lifts his arm to wipe his cheek, only to hear his mother shout. "Don't you wipe my kisses off mister!" He does so anyway. Before she can exit her office to scold him, he ducks out of the building, and hurries down the street. Once he's far enough away, Nar slips on his rollerblades, and slips his earbuds into his ears. He puts on his 'urgent delivery' playlist, then heads down an alleyway. At the end of the alley stands a blue door with a golden knob, and a glowing white star in the middle of the top panel. It looks horribly out of place. Regardless, Nar swings the door open, and hops into the threshold of light beyond, beginning his skate through the Astral Highway System, all the way to Vanhoover.

As he, and Cookie enter their home he flips the living room lamp on with his magic. Despite the food smell radiating off of his body, Nar is too tired to shower right now. After locking the front door, Nar flops onto the living room couch. A second later, Cookie snuggles up beside him. Nar drapes his hand over her, and barely a minute later, father, and daughter are both asleep.
Thankfully for both of them, it's still fall break for school. So they'll get to sleep in as much as they want tomorrow. #rp
