“Heard you guys are opening for the Hearth’s Warming village tomorrow.” Asuka’s driver breaks the long silence of a slow night. In the passenger seat, Asuka smiles warmly. “Yep. Looking forward to it.” At this, her driver turns his head to give her a concerned look. “Are you sure you’re gonna be good for it though? We’re not off until 4 AM.” Asuka opens her mouth to respond, only for a tone from the radio in the ambulance cabin to interrupt her. After the tone, the voice of a dispatcher comes through. “Responder 12, urgent, teenage colt suffering from a severe laceration. Lots of blood. Victim is unresponsive, and not breathing.” As soon as the dispatcher stops, Asuka grabs the radio to respond. “10-4, show us enroute.” The lights and sirens come to life as the ambulance suddenly peels out of the parking lot it had been sat in. Thankfully for them, the streets of Ponyville are fairly empty this late.
When the ambulance arrives on scene, Asuka’s partner pulls the ambulance up to the street beside a suburban home. An older stallion, likely the victim’s father, is waiting for them when they hop out. As Asuka’s driver heads to the back to grab the stretcher, the father frantically waves for Asuka to follow him. “Please hurry! My son! He-“ The man chokes on his own words, turning to lead Asuka to the backyard.
In the backyard, an older mare sits on her knees, cradling a teenage colt in her arms. Both she, the colt, and the ground around them are… Dear Solaris, that’s… that’s too much blood. That can’t be from one person. The mare whispers soft comforts to the colt, clearly in shock. Asuka hurries to the colt, the father following. As she kneels down to assess the colt’s injuries, the mare lets out a banshee like shriek. She recoils away from Asuka, suddenly in hysterics. “No!” She screams. “No! You can’t take him yet! You can’t take my baby!” With the way she’s looking at Asuka, she’s not sure the mare even realizes who she is. The father quickly wraps his wife into his arms, trying to calm her, and reassure her. “She’s a paramedic! It’s okay!”
Asuka rips open her medical bag, and immediately begins treatment. A quick check of the colt’s vitals are grim. He’s not breathing, and his heartbeat is shallow. There’s a deep gash across his chest. With the amount of blood he’s lost, his chances of survival are slim. Very slim. Grim determination sets in. The shrieking of the mother, and words of the father blur into static as Asuka does everything she can to patch up the gash. As soon as her driver arrives with the stretcher, they load the colt onto it, and rush him to the ambulance.
Racing down the streets of Ponyville with lights and sirens blaring, Asuka works feverishly. Fighting against all odds to save this colt’s life. The ride to the hospital is a blur. When they arrive, a team of nurses are waiting. They take the stretcher, and rush the colt into the ER. It’s out of Asuka’s hands now.
Slumping into her seat in the ambulance’s cabin, Asuka takes a deep breath, and exhales. Her driver looks genuinely shaken up, but Asuka just feels… numb. She’s been through stuff like this so many times, that she’s become desensitized to it all. The blood, the shock, the screams. It’s all just a part of the job now. Asuka catches herself staring into the distance. She turns her head, and places a hand on her driver’s shoulder. “Hey. We did what we could. Don’t let it eat you up.” Smooth, Asuka. Real comforting. Ah what the hell. She’s a paramedic, not a psychologist. Asuka’s driver gives her a thankful smile, but does not respond.
It’s going to be a rough night. #rp

Asuka's joy turns to despair as the last slice of pizza is snatched from her just before she can grab it. Despair simmers into annoyance, then quiet rage as she watches her brother joyfully scarf down the last piece of pizza. He looks as though he doesn't see her trying to rip out his soul with her eyes, but she knows that isn't the case. He puts up a veneer of obliviousness, but inside, he's cackling with glee. Such is the way of all big brothers. Well, most big brothers. Okay, maybe just some big brothers.
"I hope you stub your toe tomorrow morning, and you get a rock in your skates that you can't get out." Asuka's words are little more than a low growl. Sat across from her at her kitchen's dining table, Nar's face feigns sorrow. "How could you say such a thing Asuka?!" Beside Nar, Juno shakes his head. "You deserve it, honestly. You do this every time we get pizza anywhere." At this, Nar's fake sorrow disappears. He leans back in his chair. Far too nonchalant for Asuka's liking. "Then you guys gotta get faster." Asuka watches as he takes another bite of the slice. Only seeing what should have been HER cheese pull! In the middle of his bite, he jolts slightly. Seemingly from Juno kicking his leg under the table.
Once the slice is finished, Juno speaks up once more. "Alright, so. The publishers got in contact with Spot today. Looks like they're planning to launch the game with DLC, and want us to record extra songs, and voicelines for 'em." At this, Asuka's face scrunches. Nar simply shakes his head. "Hell no! I refuse to let our game launch with paid DLC! Make it a base game unlockable thing, and I'm onboard! But I am NOT going to be a part of scummy game publisher practices." Asuka argues vehemently, nearly standing out of her chair. "Ditto. We've never shilled, or sold out before. No reason to start now." Nar agrees, now sitting up in his chair. "Yeah, that's what I was thinking. I'll tell Spot it's gotta be free, or we won't do it." The two siblings nod in agreement, causing Juno to clap his hands. "Great! Band meeting over! Now let's beat up Nar for being a dick." #rp

Only a few hours into their shift, Asuka and her partner were dispatched to a rather unusual call. On their walk home from work, someone found a man unconscious just outside a strange looking door marked with a glowing white star. When Asuka arrived on scene, she found the caller watching over her brother, lying on the sidewalk in front of a door that had absolutely no business being where it was. A quick once over shows no external damage, but there's no telling what the extent of his injuries might be.
When Asuka loads him into the ambulance, she hooks him up to her monitors. She's surprised to see that all of his vitals look fine. Which only makes her concern as to what might have happened worse. Throughout the ride to the hospital she tries her best to diagnose the issue, but she can't find anything with her fairly limited equipment. There may be some internal damage she can't see. She can only hope that the hospital can figure it out when he's dropped off.
Once Nar is handed off to the hospital staff, Asuka and her partner decide to go unavailable for a moment. If only so Asuka can inform her family.
Why does her brother have to have the habit of getting himself hurt all the time? #rp
“I swear if another patient throws up on me during my 48 hour shift, I’m going to murder someone.”

Asuka wanted to go bar hopping for her Friday night, but all the bars in Ponyville close too early. She forgot that there’s no fun allowed after dark in Ponyville.

View MoreThe last notes of a song fade out, accompanied by a sigh of satisfaction. In the basement home recording studio of Nar’s house, the members of Attack on Mango relax ever so slightly after finishing up rehearsing one of the songs for an upcoming gig. The three founding members all sit in their positions inside the studio, while a large screen at the back end of the studio shows Scrappy, sat at her desk back in Canterlot.
“Alright.” Says Juno, clapping his hands together. “That sounded good, but I want to run through the whole set once or twice just so we can get a feel for the flow of the set.” Nar and Scrappy both nod in agreement. Asuka speaks up to ask “Think we could end rehearsal after that? Got a date tonight.” All three of her bandmates pause for a moment. “You mean, like, with a 1000 piece jigsaw puzzle?” Asks Nar, genuinely confused. “Or like, a play date with Cookie or something?” Juno’s question causes Nar’s confusion to deepen. He doesn’t remember agreeing to that! On the screen, Scrappy looks equally as confused.
An annoyed growl escapes Asuka’s throat. “Has it ever occurred to you jackasses that I might actually end up going on a date with a real person?” Juno and Nar share a look. It’s pretty obvious Nar wants to say “No”, but is showing immense restraint, and not doing so. After a moment’s pause, Juno cracks a smirk. Nar shakes himself out of his confusion to grin at his sister. “Asuka, you’re a hell of a catch.” Juno nods in agreement. “You’re a damn fine woman Asuka. Damn fine.” Asuka rolls her eyes. She contemplates chucking a drum stick at Nar, but manages to stop herself. “Whatever, assholes. Let’s just get done with rehearsal.” #rp

View MoreAnother thing Asuka dislikes about Ponyville is that with it being such a quiet town, any news is big news. She's been seeing the story about Edwin Gourd and his family ever since everything that happened yesterday. She's not even safe from it in her hospital room. Even now, after her parents had finished their nearly 5 hour long visit, the news station on the TV is still covering the event. The anchors, and reporters must have said the word "Tragedy" at least 20 times now. Not that it's not an apt description. None of the Gourd family survived. Amelia, the wife was shot by her own husband. Edwin was shot by police, and poor little Jody passed away before his head injury could be properly treated.
Thankfully for Asuka, the door to her hospital room opens giving her the perfect opportunity to turn off the TV. As soon as Asuka sees who's entering her room, he face lights up. "Cookie!" She coos. Her niece shuffles up to her bedside, and reaches up to wrap her arms around her aunt in a biiiiiiig hug! Close behind, Nar, and Juno enter the room. Juno closes the door quietly behind him, and the two take up seats near the bed as Asuka pulls Cookie up to sit with her.
"How you feelin' Ms. Hero?" Nar greets with a mischievous grin. Asuka rolls her eyes in response. "Oh hush." Nar gives her a light, playful punch on the shoulder. "Seems we Yakushi siblings just can't stay out of trouble, huh?" At this, Asuka grins, chuckling darkly. "Yeah. It's almost like the world wants us-" She stops herself before she can finish. She's not going to make that kind of joke around Cookie. She doesn't know about her aunt's 'darker' side.
Beside Nar, Juno reaches into Nar's satchel, and pulls out a little plastic bag that appears to have some sort of lumpy, candy balls inside. "Before you freak out, I asked your nurse. She said one mega sour was fine." Asuka thrusts a hand out. Her fingers demanding Juno place one in her hand. "Sol, PLEASE. I need to feel something other than the meds. With a nod, Juno removes one of the candy balls from the pouch, and places it in her hand. He then takes two more out. He hands one to Nar, and keeps the other for himself. Cookie tries to ask for one, but Nar explains that it's much too sour for her. She protests, and Nar rubs some of the sour powder off of his piece, extending his finger to Cookie. She licks the powder off of his finger, only to shake. Her face puckers so hard Asuka thinks her eyeballs might pop out. Cookie then buries her face in her aunt's side, as if she will protect her from the sourness invading her mouth. Asuka can't help but chuckle.
After popping their own pieces of candy into their mouths, the three friends engage in a conversation about their upcoming D&D session. Juno has to take breaks, and spit his out every so often. Asuka's face remains scrunched the whole time she eats the mega sour, but Nar just sits there smiling like his mouth isn't being stabbed by a million tiny sour needles. The masochist even reaches for a second one after he finishes his first!
Once Asuka has finished her sour, she asks Cookie about her day at school. It's then that she learns that Cookie has homework to finish. Moments later, Cookie sits in her aunt's lap with a pencil in hand, and a little worksheet on the bed's tray in front of her. Asuka helps her niece as she writes out words, and numbers on a little sheet of paper. She just might be able to make it through her weeklong stay in the hospital if she gets to see her niece every day.
