2nd Idea [Accidental Visual]

[notgivinguponyou]

[With everything settling back down again, it should be the best time to relax. But it apparently was the opposite for Tadashi, who could be seen pacing around his room at the commune. His tail flicked with every turn, and the expression on his face was more agitated and troubled than normal for those who had seen him before.

Another passing turn had him pausing, finally noticing the scroll was open. And for a moment he almost seemed to glare at it, his hardened expression persisting as he debated whether to simply roll it up.

But it only lasted a moment before his expression softened, and he managed a small, if somewhat weary smile.]

Anyone feel like grabbing a drink?

...Or taking a walk. Or...something.

[It just seemed like he could use the company.]

Comments

[notgivinguponyou]

[A small smile.] I'd really appreciate that, thanks.

I'm at the commune right now. Could I meet you out in front?

[sailorlaughter]

Sure! I'll be there lickety-split!

[notgivinguponyou]

All right. Thanks.

[Like he said, he'll be waiting outside for her.]

[sailorlaughter]

[And here comes Pinkie Pie pronking up the path!]

Hi! Where do you wanna walk to?

[notgivinguponyou]

[He manages a smile as he goes to meet her.] Hey. Mm...anywhere is fine. Anywhere you wanna go?

[sailorlaughter]

Oh...Iiiiii dunno.

[Pinkie stops to look around.] Have you ever gone out to Ghastly Gorge?

[notgivinguponyou]

Ghastly Gorge? Nah, I haven't.

[sailorlaughter]

Great! C'mon, we can see the quarry eels!

[AND OFF SHE HOPS]

[notgivinguponyou]

Uh...that sounds a bit dangerous... [He says as he follows her.]

[sailorlaughter]

Nah, not really! Unless you're flying past their holes, and THEN it's super-duper dangerous!

So, what's up with you?

[notgivinguponyou]

...Okay... [It still sounds dangerous, but he'll trust her. Her question gets a sigh out of him.] Eh...nothing really. Guess I was just feeling a little lonely.

[sailorlaughter]

Yeeeeeeeah, it feels a little emptier around here now that all the new people left again. I took pictures of them all though!

[notgivinguponyou]

Yeah? [He really shouldn't get his hopes up, but...] You uh...you get pictures of everyone?

[sailorlaughter]

I dunno about EVERYONE. There were a TON of people! But I tried really really HARD to get them all!

[notgivinguponyou]

[A soft chuckle.] Yeah...guess it'd be too much to expect you to get a shot of everyone who came. But, um...you ever got a shot of a kid named Hiro? Or, um...a robot called Baymax?

[sailorlaughter]

Oh! Yeah, the big white marshmallow robot? I got them!

[notgivinguponyou]

Yeah? You mind if I take a look at the picture?

[sailorlaughter]

Sure! I don't have them now, they're back at my house! Or maybe in the shop!

[Pinkie abruptly stops her bouncing and looks around as if to make sure they're alone, before leaning in to whisper.]

...actually, don't tell anyone I told you this? But if you wait a little bit I can get 'em delivered to your door!

[notgivinguponyou]

[He blinks.] Yeah?

[He wouldn't mind having a copy, really.]

[sailorlaughter]

Totally! But you gotta Pinkie Promise not to say it was me, okay? It's kinda a thing I've got going on, you'll see!

[notgivinguponyou]

[He wasn't sure why she didn't want others to know, but he nodded anyway.] Yeah, okay...I promise.

[sailorlaughter]

[It's a whole big thing. He'll see.]

Great! So, here's the gooooorge!

[She hops to the edge and leans over.] It's pretty far down, but there's all sorts of paths and stuff carved into the wall, so it's not hard to get down! Ponies come out here to farm gems sometimes. I bet they will more now that we're all good with the Diamond Dogs!

[notgivinguponyou]

[Coming to stand next to her, he peers over the edge.] Wow...that's pretty steep. So, what makes it so ghastly? [Besides quarry eels.]

[sailorlaughter]

Probably mostly the eels~!

And one time my friend Rarity got kidnapped by Diamond Dogs out here, 'cause she's got a gem-finding spell and they wanted her to help their mining! But it was called that WAY before then!

[notgivinguponyou]

Huh...so just, "things can happen" kinda thing, huh?
