4 Hearts [visual]

[verygassy]

Hey, Liz, Harvey? Just so you know...if you don't already, 90s Kid isn't in Equestria anymore.

[There's a bit of a silence, before she speaks again. Its pretty obvious that the disappearance affected her on some level, regardless of how she tries to play it off now.]

I should have my shop open within the next month, by the way. Its been a pretty crazy month - and last week I was...acting weird...but soon enough the best matchmaking service in the land will be open!

...So...yeah.

[She goes to turn off her scroll, but stops.]

....Actually, no, I gotta know. Anypony know anypony who had a hand for their cutie mark?

I think it's one of the folk at the commune. Dunno which one, though, except that it's not Bertie or Neph.

Though I gotta ask what kinda credentials a teenage filly has for hookin' ponies up.

[vis]

[verygassy]

You would be surprised! Besides, its on my cutie mark!

[BEHOLD, WIDE ANGLE SHOT OF MINAKO'S CUTIE MARK]

See? That is the sign of Venus, and Venus was the goddess of love!

[There's the slightest twitch of an eyelid.]

P-probably for the best that ya don't bring up cutie marks as representin' anything t'me for a while.

A long while.

Got anythin' more t'go on than a magical buttprint? That might pass for most ponies, but not me.

[verygassy]

You and Harvey.

[WHAT NOW HUH]

[The best matchmaking service in the land you say?]

T-Take all my money!!

Re: [Visual]

[verygassy]

...But I haven't opened yet...

[Visual]

[kingofthetvworld]

[...oh.]

Er, consider it my reserve?

[iron_mare]

I thought he'd been too quiet lately.

[verygassy]

Yeah. I'm sorry I didn't tell you earlier, it just got crazy.

[iron_mare]

It always is around here.

...are you okay?

[Private]

[ponycure_dream]

You okay, Minako?

[Private]

[verygassy]

I'll be ok. I'll be worried, but...I'll be fine.

Even if he was a dork.

Re: [Private]

[ponycure_dream]

I'm sorry either way. It's... hard.

[millionbitpipes]

Yeah, I knew.

[verygassy]

I really hope he's all right.

Because if that Pale Pony tries anything to hurt him, I'll kick its flank do hard its head will pop out of its tail!

[millionbitpipes]

You and me both, kid.

[holyfight]

You're going to make a matchmaking service?

visual

[verygassy]

Yeah!

[holyfight]

Are you a psychic or a fortune teller? One of my friends back home doesn't believe in that sort of thing, but I do!

[mechmadeoflove]

Not sure if that's a terrible idea or a really good one, to be honest.

(re: the matchmaking service.)

What, are you a shrink or an Anchor or something? How would you know?

Re: visual

[verygassy]

You can say I'm an expert at love~

Re: visual

[mechmadeoflove]

[Uh-huh.]

Because of...?

[bluesuit_hoofy]

[Oh, Omega, his cutie mark would have gone somewhere, wouldn't it? He could keep mum and hope he never has to discuss it with whoever got the thing...but then again it's not like it's all that easy to conceal. When he turns his scroll on, it's framing just his face.]

A hand? Yeah, I think I know someone with that one. Why?

[So innocent. The most innocent.]

[Visual]

[verygassy]

Its the cutie mark I ended up with. For some reason I thought I was born from somepony's hand.

[Visual]

[bluesuit_hoofy]

Oh, is that so? [His voice is suddenly a good octave higher.] How very odd, can't imagine why it would do that.
