11th Distraction - Visual
[When she appears on the network, Surprise looks a little...whiter than normal. Clumps of her fur seem to have taken a much dimmer white. It contrasts slightly with the dark circles under her eyes.]
Hey. Uh.
So, you know, after yesterday [And that is all she'll say or how she'll refer to what happened] I thought some of us might not be...uh. Doing so good.
[That's an understatement and she knows it, but she doesn't want to just tackle the issue directly. Doesn't want to put her thoughts on it right out there. There's plenty of ponies doing that already. There doesn't need to be another.]
So...because of that I thought some of them might not have the time to cook, or wouldn't take the time to get anything to eat, so I made something for them. I was only supposed to be for a few friends but-
I guess I kind of went overboard.
[It wouldn't be hard for anyone watching to see just how overboard Surprise had gone. She doesn't even need to adjust the scroll to show the stacks of food that she, in her nervous energy, had spent te night making that look in sight behind her.
They're breakfast foods and sweets mostly. Small towers of pancakes and waffles, regular and types stuffed with chocolate chips and berries. Small little forts made of sweetbreads and little cakes with jam and small tarts with pudding and whipped cream in them.
It's a feat that could have only been accomplished by someone with plenty of energy to burn and not much else they knew what to do with it.]
So, since I kind of made too much...if you need to eat of anything, you can take whatever you want. Just, if you're lost or don't know how to feel, just-
Come and take what you want. Take care of yourself. I've kind of got plenty.

I think I wouldn't mind swinging by for some, myself!
Re: [visual]
Help yourself man! I don't think I'm gonna run out anytime soon!
[visual]
[Those breakfast pastries really look tempting!]
[visual]
[visual]
What is it?
[visual/private]
[Here, she'll show you. She turns the feed to private as she moves to put something on the little table in front of her.
It's a small, circular disc with a few other joints here and there. Propped upon the disc is a small cylinder. Surprise twists a knob on the bottom of the disc. Once it's fully wound, the small cylinder starts to spin, a calming, lazy tune playing as it does. From inside the cylinder a small light glows, changing colors from red to blue to green to purple and back again.
Surprise talks as the base for her music box play.]
It's nothing much. I mean, it's pretty much nothing at all! I haven't finished the actual exterior for it. But. You know.
It's alright practice.
[visual/private]
Are you kidding? That's neat! What song is it?
[visual/private]
...It's a lullaby. My older sister used to sing it to me and my brothers when we was small, man. My parents had to work a lot so...usually it was my sister who took care of us.
It kinda...took me a moment. I mean I hadn't heard it in so long and...a lot of times, I can't really remember it.
[visual/private]
[He means it, too. Granted, Master Splinter wasn't exactly someone who sang his kids to sleep. That would...well, that image just sat weird. Splinter was more likely to engage him and his brothers in a late night sparring march to tucker them out, than lullaby them to sleep as kids.
But hey, if there had been a lullaby somewhere, this would be a song he wouldn't mind falling asleep to.]
Can...can you make another one, like that, by chance? I mean, I'll pay you for it or something, or...
[visual/private]
[Surprise stutters a moment, smiling her head off. She looks at the little machine, her fears that it was stupid beginning to fade.]
Sure man! For you, I could do that! I-I mean it wouldn't be a problem! You don't got to pay me nothing I-
I just mean. Yeah. I can make you one.
[visual/private]
[It was not stupid. Not at all.]
[visual]
...hey, you know what? We should TOTALLY have another group slumber party!
Re: [visual]
[Surprise squints her eyes a little at the words, as if she wasn't sure she'd heard them right at first.]
Man, I ain't been to a slumber party since filly days. I kinda forgot what they're like.
[visual]
[In other words, it helps with the trauma.]
Re: [visual]
Even crazier is the part of her that thinks it sounds fun.]
...Yeah man, let's give it a go. We ain't got nothing but time anyway.
[visual]
no subject
minus the sweet wine he'd like to go with it all.]And we can just...have it? Any of it?
no subject
[Surprise nods a little, tired, but still smiling a bit.]
I ain't gonna be able to eat that much of it. Anyone wants some, they can come get it.
no subject
[He'll be showing up in five minutes with the biggest basket he can carry. Papageno is going to stockpile the goods, thank you!]
no subject
Thank you.

no subject
Want me to bring some apple butter? I kind of work on the farm.
no subject
And, uh. Thanks. But it's nothing. I just. You know. Did what I thought I should do.
no subject
(He pauses. Thinking. Then says -)
You hear Dante and Minato's latest mashup?
(Read, their act of defiance against the Pale Pony. Their musical act of defiance. Because that's how you roll in Equestria.)
no subject
I was, uh....
[Stammering in horror for a moment before diving under the seats for cover.]
Little preoccupied during the whole thing, you know?
