[So many folks lately had lost others...and her own heart was burdened a bit by this, truth be told. But Nephenee was bound and determined to try to make the best of the situation...as much as she could, anyways. She wanted to help those who had lost loved ones recently, and while she ultimately wanted to do it for all that had, she needed to start somewhere small...]

[So there would be a pony knocking on doors today, handing out some gifts. When they open the door, they see a possibly-familiar pelorus pony there.]

[OOC: I'm sure I forgot some people who've lost some recently, so please poke me via PM or Plurk if you think of any!] 

I'm home for the month. We're taking a break from filming, since we did a lot.

Oh and uh, yeah, I'm dyed brown. Costuming wanted me to match the others.

Hi? What'd I miss?

[Have a brown-maned/brown-coated Lyra.]

[The feed pops up, and immediately on-screen is an evergreen stallion getting herded into view, stumbling on three hooves as he waves sheepishly at the camera. Nephenee's head pokes up from where she was pushing him on, and if there's any term to describe her aura right now, it's "glowing". She's practically buzzing. Did someone give her caffeine again?]

[In any case, she makes sure the scroll's got them both framed, and grins.]

Hey, Everypony! Hope y'all had a good Hearts an' Hooves!

We sure did!

We gotta big announcement to share with everypony!

We sure do! [Morgan isn't really here to help.]

[Nephenee is half bouncing, half-buzzing in excitement, and after a moment, she finally gets the words out.]

Morgan asked me to marry him! An' Ah said yes!

[She holds up a hoof that has a titanium bracelet on it with small gems and engravings. It's really, really nice.]

That's right, I scooped the best girl in Equestria and there's nothing you can do about it! All the rest of you can wither in despair! WITHER! [Cue Morgan shaking a hoof at the scroll.]

[She grins brightly.] Absolutely nothin'! We ain't sure when it's happenin' yet, but we wanted to share it with everypony~

[Morgan just points a hoof at Neph. Seriously, all her idea to announce it like this.]

[Well, what an announcement!]

[After her trip to see Lyra, Sasami decided to look over the scrolls and, to her surprise, well... a lot of ponies were hurting. Betrayals, disappearances, angry arguing. And it felt like no one was willing to help smooth things over.

Which is why Sasami's finally opened up her scroll after so long and is facing it with a determined look on her face.]

This weekend's been rough - everypony's angry or upset with one another and it isn't that Windingo thing going on again! This is too much! Something needs to be done and I'm gonna do something about it!

[She steps out of frame briefly, then comes back with a big basket of goodies.]

Anyone who needs it? I'll come around and give you some snacks and a hug! It's time we stop yelling at each other and bring smiles to everypony's faces again!

[Early Morning]

[Perhaps it was something to be said about this day, a week before Hearts and Hooves that Lyra found her bed empty. Fearing the worst, a quick search turned up nothing. No tracks, no signs of life. Just a quiet house.

Gathering her wits about her, she breathed in and out for a moment. The worst had happened, and yet, Lyra felt... oddly at peace.

Getting up, she went and unfurled the scroll.]

[Visual]

[Lyra started playing the piano as she started the record, the music swelling in this mid-morning hour. And with hooves making a few tentative chords, began to sing.]

( Read more... )

[Leaning over, she began to roll up the scroll.]

Love you Bonnie. Be safe.

[Several Hours Later]

I'm calling the employees of Bon Bon's candy store. I'm in charge now, and I need all hands on deck as well as those who wish to help out. We need to take inventory. Bon Bon didn't leave a completed record of the food she made and we need to double check. Inventory will begin this afternoon and proceed until we are completed, provided it doesn't take another day. The store will be closed during Inventory.

Anypony who has an outstanding record or employees on file will receive the same deals as before.

Lets get to work ponies.

[The scrolls open, showing the back of the cute little brown bunny, who's talking to some of the animals in the Cottage. She seems rather... upset at some of the recent happenings on the network.]

I-it's been going on for days now... they're all still arguing and fighting... [Other voices/noises in the background...] ...W-well, yes, I've seen the efforts to try and help, but... [Other voices/noises in the background again...] It just feels like... the first few weeks back in that horrible place.

I just hope they're able to find a way to stop it soon... I've been trying to help Miss Shy, but... she's been working a lot and I haven't been able to help her that much. I just wish I could do more...

[She still doesn't seem to notice that the feed is even on.]
