Stupid Ideas That Pay Off

[blamemysister]

AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

MY SECRET WORK IS COMPLETED!

And now...

[Luna throws off her towel in full pony glory as steam rises from a walled off area. There's a massive hoof-built structure with steam from the huge area bordering Sweet Apple Acres less used areas of land as she throws the doors open. Inside there's a huge walled area, some labeled Stallions, Mares, Mixed, Oversized.]

IT IS TIME TO PARTAKE IN THE FIRST PONYVILLE HOTSPRINGS! Come my faithful friends, let us bathe in its warming waters on the edge of the Whitetail Woods!

I simply must thank the good ponies at Canterlot Power and Electric for supplying the hook up to the power grid to empower the steam system.

COME HAVE A BALL! FIRST ONE INTO THE POOL!

[And she leaps in and comes out soaking wet with a laugh as the scroll floats to the side.]

I always loved hot springs when it was snowing and/or chilly. It feels the best.

[Visual]

The dual sensation of hot and cold at the same time, it almost makes one appreciate winter weather.

Re: [Visual]

[blamemysister]

And we're due for a light flurries. That is always wonderful.

[Visual]

[namedforcat]

Warm water, the sprinkling of snow coming down like stars...that does sound wonderful.

Re: [Visual]

[blamemysister]

It is one of my favorite things to do. Although a proper trip requires going to the dragon lands.

[Visual]

[namedforcat]

Oh? You've been there?

Re: [Visual]

[blamemysister]

Only in my own world sadly. Not here.

[Visual]

[namedforcat]

I wonder if there is any differences. We don't have anything like the dragon lands back home.

Re: [Visual]

[blamemysister]

The dragon lands at least in my world are all mountainous, filled with high peaks and wide lands for various needs such as water and food. You may like it if it is similar here.

[Visual]

[namedforcat]

It sounds lovely. Maybe in the New Year I should do some traveling. Any other suggestions?

Re: [Visual]

[blamemysister]

While Griffon lands are closed off from what I recall, there are always other nations like the Minotaurs and the Zebrica lands as well. Both have good moderate areas to visit.

[Visual]

[namedforcat]

I wonder if any of them have hot springs as nice as yours looks.

Re: [Visual]

[blamemysister]

I certainly hope so. I'd like the competition after all.

[Visual]

[namedforcat]

Well, a monopoly is unhealthy for businesses, even if that does sound counter-intuitive.

Re: [Visual]

[blamemysister]

Undoubtedly. It would be better if there was more incentive to travel and visit after all.

[Visual]

[namedforcat]

Very true. I wonder if your springs will be an incentive for more visits from them as well.

Ah, question. Just out of curiosity, are those natural or are you having the water piped in?

Re: [Visual]

[blamemysister]

The water is being piped from an underground spring I had doused. It needs to be heated though.

[Visual]

[namedforcat]

That's not too bad. You're lucky you found that spring.

Re: [Visual]

[blamemysister]

Luck had nothing to do with it. I had the royal carteography and water works behind me to locate it.

[Visual]

[namedforcat]

Ah, and they are most likely the best at what they do.

Re: [Visual]

[blamemysister]

They are, and they helped me locate the perfect location for it. We had to cut a bit of lumber though from the Whitetail to make the walls though.

[Visual]

[namedforcat]

Too bad you couldn't create walls from the water.

Re: [Visual]

[blamemysister]

Too much electrical power to create those.

[Visual]

[namedforcat]

Understandable. But all questions aside, I'm looking forward to going.

Re: [Visual]

[blamemysister]

I'm glad you're planning on coming then. It will be open this week as well for holiday hours.
