37th Lance ↟ | [Visual/Action, backdated to the 12th]

[Finally. It was over.

It was all over...

In an attempt to open the door leading out of the high school, Nephenee pushed against it with her shoulder. Annoyingly, she couldn't, and it wasn't until a few more attempts that she looked up to see that it was out of order. Oh...and here she thought she was just too tired to open it! Stifling a yawn, the mare bumped open the working one, and was immediately greeted with a small throng of students near a board by the wall, nearly climbing on top of each other to find out their scores.

Wow...that was fast. Rather than join them on the ground, however, the pegasus flew up a few feet, the better to try to see the results. With other flyers there, it took some doing, and she did find herself wishing there weren't so many in one space. Not because of the difficulty of seeing the board, but more for the whole 'a lot of folks in one place' problem...breathe, focus...

Nephenee was a bit frazzled and nervous by the time she had managed to get close enough to spot anything, and shutting out the others the best she could, her eyes darted around the board. Town name...town name...there, Ponyville! Alright....N...N N N...Na...Ne...seriously, she'd never seen this many N names before now! Neeee-there!

Nephenee. ""Scuse me, please!" A few sidesteps and dodges later, she'd gotten next to the board...only to find her envelope wasn't there.

...What.

In her somewhat scattered mindset, the mare's thoughts immediately went a bit haywire, as her eyes darted around the board. No, no...darn it, it wan't in the wrong spot! Horsefeathers, where was it??

A few ponies yelped in surprise as she shot up to get out of the crowd, but as much as she'd normally feel bad about that, she was a bit frantic; had someone accidentally taken it? Or..worse, took it on purpose? She was one of the few off-worlders that came here, and getting married had made her name more known before...crud. Crud crud crud...

"Neeeeephie!" The bleat alerting her, Neph looked towards where it came from, and felt her heart fall back into its proper place when she saw a bright yellow sheep with an envelope in its mouth. The Ampharos looked so proud of herself for helping her trainer out, Nephenee saw as she landed beside Chrysanthemum, and she found she really couldn't get onto her overmuch.

"Oh, so that's where that was!" She sighed in relief, "Thanks...thought somepony else got it."

"Oops, sorry!"

"Naw, thank ya..."

She carefully rubbed her hoof against Chrys' wool as she took the envelope, being careful to not shock herself, and for a moment, she could only stare at it tenuously...but only a moment. A flash of silver later, her dagger had popped the seal, and sitting, she read over the results...and joy overwhelmed her as she did.

Ohmygosh. Ohmygoshohmygoshohmygoshohmygoshohmygosh!

The bouncy, giddy pony didn't realize she had started squeaking that out loud, but she wouldn't really have cared - she'd passed with...well, mostly flying colors - Grammar was more 'gliding' colors, but it was better than she'd hoped! She tore out of the schoolyard at that, Chrys bleating in protest after her, eager to make it back to town to show everypony the scores. In fact, the entire train ride over, she was turning circles in her cabin!

Unfortunately for Nephenee...well, her giddiness clouded her judging how hot it actually was out. Between that and little rest lately and missing breakfast...she might have fallen over at some point on the way from the train station in Ponyville, exhausted and overheated.

Ace job, Neph.]

[Action locked to Yuko]

[Somewhere around Star Bucks, there's a bright yellow electric sheep running by, looking every which-a-way for someone she recognizes. There has to be somebo-! And even as she thinks that, there's a somewhat familiar blue pony with a chilly aura around her that Chrys can sense up ahead. So Yuko might be slightly surprised to hear her name being bleated.]

Mmmissss Yukooo!

[Has an electric sheep running up to you, Glaceon, as fast as her little stubby legs can go.]

~~~

[Visual]

[It's been a bit since Neph addressed the network at large, but some might have heard about her tipping over like a blue fainting goat. News travels fast here, after all. Here she is, though, up and at 'em. And tired looking, but hey, you can't win them all; it's lessened by her smile, at least.]

Hey, everypony! [Yaaaaawn...] S-sorry, reckon Ah'm still a lil' tired. Sorry Ah ain't been on much lately, we jus' got done with finals at the high school, so Ah was studyin' for them hard as Ah could, so Ah can get done with a few summer courses. Ah jus' got done today an' already got the results back. An' guess what?

[And that tired smile turns into a bright grin as she holds up her paper, large numbers on the side.]

Ah passed real good! Even on grammar, an' it's my hardest subject! [No one can tell that at all...] So after summer school, long as Ah do good, Ah can graduate an' look into goin' to Pranceton in the spring.

But...for now, Ah can relax a lil' an' get back into stuff. Ah wanna try learnin' other stuff in the meantime, like how to handle hot foods an' stuff, an' help others learn, too. Wanna catch up with folks, too. Anypony wanna do that?

~~~

[Private to Harvey]

Hey, Sir Harvey! Now that Ah'm done with school stuff an' Miss Flare seems to be feelin' better, do ya wanna start trainin' back up?

~~~

[Private to Zetta]

Um, Your Highness? Ah was wonderin', are ya still lookin' to learn wing care an' stuff? Ah'm finally not havin' a buncha stuff goin' on.

[Action with Cirno and Morgan]

[Nephenee's been resting most of the day after falling over earlier...but being Nephenee, she's wanting to get up and do something, even if she can't do heavy labor just yet. Still, they need to have dinner...and guess who's the main cook? This blue pegasus! So what can they eat that isn't too difficult...welp, time to consult the family!]

[Walking to the living room, she spots that the fairy and Mage are both there, and sticks her head on top of Cirno's from behind. Sup chiily?]

Hey, what y'all in the mood for for dinner? 'Bout time to start it, an' if we gotta get stuff from the store, we should figure it out soon...

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

[Portable AC via fairy. Family is a wonderful thing ~]

Purple smoke? That sounds like something went wrong.

[Even the fairy understands cooking to a point. That just sounds scary.]

Oh, That sounds good and a lot of fun. I'm up for it if you are up for it Morgan!

[Happy grin going to you Morgan as she's setting the pencil down once more. It's easier to think about then math is at the moment.]

I'm in, so long as we figure out how to not fight over pizza ingredients. Speaking of which, you have a pineapple, right?

[Does everyone like pineapple? Because Morgan sure does. He licks his lips at the thought even as he regrets entering another year without meat.]

Hmm, Ah don't think so, but Ah can go grab one.

[Neph, what makes you think he's letting you run to the market by yourself after you fell over?]

An' if we can't, it's alright, we can make more than one! Mean, we got some big appetites here. Might not be a bad idea. Ah'll check what we got for toppin's, too. What's everypony like?

[And yeeees, pineapple is delicious!]

Pinapple? I've never tried that before.

[Rakuen had opened up her ideas on different foods and such but that's one she hasn't tried yet.]

Uh..I dunno much that goes on pizza but I'll try anything Sis!

Oh no! If we need a pineapple, I will go get the pineapple, Ms. Wobbleybutt.

[Morgan forgets that he should put it 'MRS. Wobbleybutt'.] What else do we have that we might want? Onions? Green pepper? Tomato? Olives? I can make a quick run and be back in a flash.

[Nephenee makes a face at him in play. She caught that, alright.]

That's Mrs. Wobbleybutt, Mr. Wobbleybutt.

[She thinks for a moment, still smiling, before nodding.]

We definitely need more olives...Mushrooms, too, Ah reckon. An' if ya want any hot peppers...oh an' some o' them mozzerella balls. Those always taste good!

[That seems to cover anything they might need. But after a moment's thought, her ears prick up.]

Hey! Ah got an idea for dessert! Lemme make sure we got the stuff...! [Despite needing to take it easy, the excited pony skitters over to the fridge and cabinets, taking quick stock, before returning, eyes bright.] Honey, could ya get me some mascarpony cheese, too? Ah'll make a s'mores pizza an' a strawberry mascarpony one for dessert!

[Annnd Cirno's done being serious and is starting a giggle fit. If anything it's keeping her from contributing to the conversation at the moment.

Give her a bit, She'll stop laughing...eventually.]

My butt is as firm as rock and as unwavering as steel, as you perfectly well know. [Morgan tosses his head archly, sending his magnificent mane fanning out. Sorry if you catch some of that, Cirno.] I'm going, I'll be back before you know I'm gone. Last call for requests!

Only 'cause Ah kick it enough.

[SHOTS FIRED. But before he gets a chance to retort, she continues, like she never said anything of the sort.]

Reckon we got everythin' we need besides that...[Actually...] Well, maybe get some more chocolate for the s'mores pizza. Jus' in case Ah eat too much...We can prep the dough while you're gettin' the stuff; jus' don't be too long or it'll rise way too much.

[The fairy's giggle fit is a bit infectious, and Neph has to stifle one herself.]

If we..can get anythin' done with Chuckles here.

[She's been hit with worse Morgan, mane hits are always forgiven. If anything it gets her to stop giggling long enough to answer.]

I can stop whenever I want to. You both are silly, that's all!

[That and she's so comfortable that giggle fits are allowed to happen. This was fun!]

Besides, the sillier it gets the more things are funny!

Then I had better get back soon to keep it silly.

[He might not have been literal about getting back before they knew he was gone, but he certainly intended to move with phenomenal haste. In fact -- the Akashic lifts one hoof in front of his face, takes a deep breath, then surges forward. The only thing that stops him from colliding with the table is the fact that he just vanishes mid-surge.]

[Down at the market, there's a very surprised neigh.]

[She's known him for almost two years, been with him for over a year...and she's still not entirely used to him doing that, if her slight jump is anything to go by!]

Gosh dog it...one day, Ah'll get used to him poofin' like that!

[Still, he needs to actually get the supplies, so they have...still not long. Shaking herself off, Neph grins at Cirno.]

Well, let's go ahead an' get the dough started while he's scootin' around. Ready to get messy?

[There is another giggle at that before nodding her head quickly. Her aura fades to a bit more reasonable level.]

At least it's a good one and not a bad one.

[Getting up and putting the sheet aside for now.]

Uh huh! I'm ready! Besides, Gotta make the mess before someone can stop it right?

[Morgan can shop very quickly when he wants to!]

[...but not THAT quickly, so he's still gone.]

This kitchen'll be coated in flour by the time we're done!

[Alright, no, let's not get THAT bad. But some mess is permissible, so long as it's cleaned up.]

[Nabbing the flour and other ingredients for the doughs, she sets them down on the countertop, using the marble as their workspace.]

Alright, let's see how much we can get done 'fore he pops back up, so it can rise. How 'bout we make one at least one normal crust, one with cheese in it, an' a slightly sweet one for the dessert pizza?

[A sharp nod and Cirno gets to where she can see and reach at this point. Short pegasus is short.]

Yeah! They'll be really good. Maybe put a little bit of sugar on the outside as well?

[Which..don't let the fairy into the sugar. That is a scary thought, Cirno on a sugar high.]

[Off in the distance, Morgan buys a pineapple.]

[That's his contribution so far!]

Oh, that sounds good! Let's see...

[By the time Morgan's ready to come back, they've gotten the doughs prepped, annd the kitchen counter is super flour-y. So is Nephenee, for that matter.]

Alrighty, now we jus' let it rise a little...[She looks up at the clock.] He should be back soon, Ah reckon...

[...And she gets a wicked little idea in her mind. Whispering it to Cirno, she then pulls back, grinning.]

Whatta ya think? Reckon we should be a lil' naughty?

[By this point? Cirno is almost covered because it's the fairy. At that question she gets a slightly mischievous smile on her face. Fairies are pranksters by nature after all!]

Oh? Whatcha got in mind sis?

[Better plan fast -- Morgan is whistling as he trots back from the market, giving them some but not a lot of warning that he's about to return!]

Well, Ah got balloons...[Whisper whisper.] An' ya from above...[Scheme scheme.]

[Soon, ready for him to get home and walk into the kitchen, Neph's given Cirno a balloon filled with flour, and she's hiding with one too. Before he comes in, she whispers:]

Ah should feel worse 'bout this...Don't really, though.

[Oh hey, she hears hooves beyond the door! More whispering!]

Get ready!

[Readying action for once Cirno's balloon drops...]

Edited (whoops, wrong one!) 2015-10-15 06:32 (UTC)

Oo...I like that idea. Okay!

[From her place above the door, flying as quietly as she can, Cirno has the flour filled balloon ready to that the instant Morgan walks in, it'll fly!

She tenses and let's it go at the right moment, a wide grin on her face.]

So what do you think about --

[Bwoof! Morgan doesn't get another word out before a cloud of flour explodes around him, coating his green coat and black mane white. The Akashic freezes in surprise, one hoof still lifted as he tries to process this turn of events.]

[One balloon was quickly followed by another from the front, so that flour cloud is quite large indeed! His look of confusion nets him the main conspirator of all this becoming visible from her flopping onto her back from behind the counter into the main walkway, laughing hysterically.]

[The second comes down from the air rather quickly and has burst into laughter as well. There is a bit of a chill in the air as her fairy nature kicks in at a prank pulled off perfectly. Cirno does take the time to stop laughing long enough to speak though!]

Walked right into the line of flour huh?

[Cirno...no..stop. That wasn't even good.]
