One month clinch a spot in the playoffs, and save Ponyville High School's hockey team from being disbanded. The team had a rough start to the season, but now that they've really hit their stride, things are looking up. Students are actually showing up to watch their games. Local radio stations have started covering their season, with one even commentating the games live! Despite this, their record still means they haven't secured a spot in the playoffs yet.
After cooking, and eating dinner with Cookie, Nar retires to his room with Rudo. He takes his seat at his desk, and flips on his desk lamp. It's going to be a long night. It's time to pour over data, tweak strategies, and make adjustments. #rp

Not wanting to spend his days alone in his home, Nar has started helping out at his father's restaurant. When he's not busy with his coaching stuff that is.
He mostly works in the kitchen, but sometimes he comes to the front to talk to customers. After all, a lot of the regulars have been coming here for decades. They've known Nar since he was a child! So they're eager to catch up with him! #rp

After 2 weeks of(mostly) uninterrupted daddy-daughter time, he wasn't looking forward to her being gone for 8 hours a day again. He managed to drop her off at school this morning without tearing up though, so that's progress!
Now, Nar sits at the desk in his room, going over the statistics from last weeks game. They're more than halfway through the season, and they NEED to make it to the postseason, or the school board is likely to axe the team.
In the middle of his work, Nar hears the door to his back porch open, and close. Instantly, alarm bells are going off in his head. He knows he locked it. His friends, and family would have texted, or called him if they planned to visit. Did someone break in? Nar stands from his desk, grabbing the new aluminum bat he keeps in his room after he "lost" his old one. "Rudo. Come." Nar utters a command, and his service dog, Rudo, walks up beside him. Together, the two exit Nar's room, and head towards the living room.
As he gets halfway through the hallway, Nar can hear a female voice, humming in the kitchen. That's not Autumn's voice. It's... A mixture of paranoia, and rage boils up within Nar's chest. That CAN'T be her. Aki was sentenced to 3 years in jail after she broke into his house months ago. Calm down Nar. You took your meds this morning, but they're not guaranteed to get rid of your symptoms. Remember what the psychiatrist taught you.
Stepping into the doorway of his kitchen, Nar sees a face he'd much rather forget. Aki moves about his kitchen, humming a tune as she bakes cookies. When she notices him, she stops, and begins to fawn over him.
"Rudo. Greet." Nar's command causes Rudo to look into the kitchen. He then looks back to Nar, and sits down. There's nobody there. "Ooooh my darling!~" Aki coos. Ignore her. She's not real. "Won't you help me with these cookies?" You need to sit down. Deep breaths, breathing exercises. Put on some music.
Nar realizes how quick, and shallow his breathing has become. He shuffles his way into his living room, and practically falls backwards onto his recliner. Rudo hops up beside him, laying his head on Nar's chest to comfort him. Hands shaking, Nar fumbles in his pockets for his earbuds. He pops them into his ear, then pulls out his phone to turn on some music. Aki leaves the kitchen, and enters the living room.
Go. Away.
Leave me alone!
FUCK OFF!
Rudo nudges Nar's chin with his snout, pulling him out of his thoughts. Focus on Rudo. Pet him. Listen to your music. Deep breaths. In. Out. In. Out.
After 5 minutes, Nar slowly allows himself to come out of his thoughts. Aki is gone. When he removes his earbuds, he can't hear her voice. Heaving a deep sigh of relief, Nar lays his head back on his recliner to recuperate a little before he goes back to his work. #rp

Ponyville High gathers around their coach after he's just called a time out. Looking at the faces of his team, Nar can tell most of them are demoralized. With 5 minutes left in the game, they aren't sure they can make 2 goals, and tie it up. Their goalie, Red, is clearly pretty beaten up about letting up 3 goals. Usually, Nar wouldn't care all that much if they won, or lost a game, but their record is on thin ice right now. Too many losses, and the school board is going to cut the hockey team entirely. They NEED to win this game. He knows that, and so do the boys. The entire future, or lack of one, of the Ponyville High School Hockey team is on their shoulders, and they're definitely feeling the weight.
Nar claps his hands together to get the team's attention. All eyes fall on him. "Take a moment. Catch your breath. Do your best to push all those negative thoughts you're having to the side for now." Nar points to the scoreboard, particularly, the 5 minutes on the clock. "Focus on the present. You've got 5 minutes on the clock. As long as that clock is above 0, you've got time to fight! 2 goals! That's all we need! So, let's focus on figuring out how we're gonna get those two goals! Neither victory, nor defeat are assured until that clock says 00:00!" After he's finished, Nar inspects the faces of the team. Most seem to have taken his words to heart. They look ready to get back out on the ice, and give it their all! Some still seem quite disheartened, but Nar gets the feeling that will change if they team can just manage one goal.
Once the time out ends, the two teams meet at center ice for the face off. Not 30 seconds later, Earl puts one into the net to make the score 3-2. Now heartened, his teammates push the attack, keeping Fillydelphia high on the back foot for the rest of the match.
When the timer hits 0, the score is 3-4.
Nar is absolutely holding a pizza party for them after their next practice! #rp
Winter break is quickly coming to an end. Nar is not ready to send Cookie back to school.

View MoreWith no work for the day, and a hangover that took forever to go away, Asuka was all too willing to accept Nar's offer to stay at his house for the day. Little did she know, Nar had tricked her into babysitting Cookie, while Juno took him... somewhere... Neither of the two would say where.
Well, early in the evening, Asuka hears the sound of the band's tour van pulling into Nar's driveway. A few moments later, Juno opens the front door. Asuka waves a hand to greet him, with Cookie hopping up from the puzzle they were making together to run to greet her papa. Juno gently stops her by scooping her up into a hug. "Easy now Cookie. Your papa has a surprise, but you need to be veeeeery careful with it, okay?" He explains, only setting her down once she acknowledges.
Asuka hears the sound of jingling metal, accompanied by footseps, and... What is that other noise? She raises a hand in greeting again as Nar pops into view from outside. Cookie gasps, and Juno steps aside to reveal Nar holding a leash. Walking slightly ahead of him is a Jack Russel Terrier, with a bright blue collar, and three tags on it. The moment the two enter the house, Cookie inches forwards. Her hand outstretched to pet the dog. "Be gentle, Cookie. This is my service dog, Rudo. He's going to help me with my mental health."
A psychiatric service dog. Smart, Nar. Asuka finds herself smiling as she listens to Cookie talk to little Rudo. Telling him about how good of a job he'll do. How she loves him so much, and how she promises to take good care of him, since he's going to take good care of her papa. #rp
Nar is hosting a New Years party tonight. He's quite excited, because he was recently appointed a service dog, and he wants to get him used to all the people he normally hangs out with.

View MoreEven during winter break, the Ponyville High hockey team still has a game to play. Thankfully, it was fairly early in the afternoon, so the boys would still have plenty of time to enjoy their day after they got back from the game. Parents drop their children off at the school around 9:30 AM, where they all load onto a bus to head to their game at Fillydelphia High school.
Not even 5 minutes after the bus has left Ponyville high, Nar hears some of the boys in the back getting pretty loud. When the bus comes to a stop, he stands, and heads to the back to see what all the noise is about. A group of about 8 boys from 4 different seats are all crowded in the aisle to look at something on the ceiling of the buss. "Nah twin. I ain't touching that." One boy says to another. "How long has that been here?" Another asks. "At least a week." Another answers. "I saw Gorge throw it up there on the last day before winter break."
What does Nar see when he looks up to where the boys are looking?
A piece of moldy cheese stuck to the ceiling of the bus.
Nar surveys the area outside of the bus for a moment. He spots a trash can on the nearby sidewalk, and develops a plan of action. First, Nar reaches past two of the boys to open their window. Then, using his magic, he grabs the piece of cheese, and levitates it out of the window. The boys push themselves up against their seats as much as possible to avoid touching it. With a little flick, Nar tosses the cheese into the trash can, then quickly closes the window. "Try not to be so loud, guys. We want to be respectful to Mr. Graves for driving the bus on what should be a day off for him." The boys all nod as Nar turns to return to his seat. The old bus driver gives him an appreciative nod when he gets back to his seat at the front. #rp
"Since I have to avoid using the AHS as much as possible these days, I need to look for a new hobby. Maybe I'll try getting into HEMA."
