*He gives a soft smile. This isn't the first time he's run into time discrepancies...*

I know, it's a long time. A lot happened too, but don't worry about it. It doesn't really matter much here.

Sunny Skies (Celestia} | Scootamom

[sunny_skies]

A. Even here there was paperwork.

Sunny Skies, aka the most known aid to Princess Celestia aka Scootaloo's mom, was bored. Even now, she was stuck doing paperwork when she didn't want to. She just wanted to go spend time with her not-daughter and not-sister and have some fun. Like a mare in disguise wanted. She was really bored, and filling out paperwork in Town Hall of Ponyville was not the way she wanted to spend her time.

B. Sunny was free, FREE! AHAHAHAHAHA Ahem. In this case, she was pressed up against Sugarcube Corner with a dreamy expression on her face.

"Creamy, creamy frosting...!" She was drooling too.

C. Sunny was knitting. And for the life of her, hiding the use of her magic with judicial motions of her hooves, she was in a trance, muttering "Knit 1 pearl 2" and over and over. Sadly, Sunny wasn't known for her knitting. In fact it was downright forbidden in the castle. As it stood, ponies were running screaming as "Yarnthuhlu" was being created in a psychedelic colorful haze.

"The frosting's better when you're actually eating it." Says a dragon who suddenly appears behind the pony.

"Personal experience."

Re: B

[sunny_skies]

Sunny Skies does not "yipe". And yet she did it anyway, her chest pounding in surprise from being sneaked up on, presumably because she had been trying to devour that three-layer cake with her eyes. "O-oh! Yes, well I should be watching my weight like Scootaloo always says but uh... maybe one piece would be nice..."

[strawberryredgrave]

"Then how about we get a piece or two? My treat."

Dante offers while holding the door open for her.

[sunny_skies]

"I uh..." Oh what's the harm. She was hungry, there was delicious cake, her other self was rather taken with his charms and she was hungry.

"All right. Thanks a lot." And she stepped in, inhaling sharply the delicious scent of Sugarcube Corner.

[strawberryredgrave]

The dragon joins her in smelling that alluring aroma that fills the entire bakery. There's a reason this place is damn legendary and that same reason has made Dante into a regular customer. He waves at the Cakes, who greet him and Sunny with waves and bright smiles.

"So...which one made you drool the most?"

[sunny_skies]

"Ah, well the strawberry one with cream and real hand made buttercream frosting is one of them... and the chocolate mountain tier one, and then the Pony Joe special..." Sunny blushed deeply. "I have a weakness for cake..."

[strawberryredgrave]

"So I see." He smirks. It's adorable, how much she knows about cake and how much she loves them. Giving her a nod, Dante then approaches the counter, where Mrs. Cake is at the ready.

"We're taking two of that strawberry one there with the cream and the hand made buttercream, smells great, by the way, two of that chocolate mountain one and two Pony Joe Specials."

[sunny_skies]

"That's quite a lot..." Even with her stipend secretly increased by the native Celestia for doing all of her paperwork in her stead, she felt a little bad having Dante order that much. "But I suppose it's worth it. Sugarcube Corner is the best after all. It's got the same feel as Pony Joe where I would go every evening to get a coffee and cucumber omelette."

[strawberryredgrave]

"So you're a Canterlot girl, huh...not surprised, really; you kinda have that air about you." He winks in Sunny's direction before placing several impressive gems on the counter, more than enough to pay the bill.

He reserves a table for the both of them. "Haven't been to Joe's myself, but I hear good things. If it can keep up with this place, then it's gotta be good."

[magicalrealist]

To have that much magic drained from you, I'd be surprised if you didn't need to readjust.

That rainbow mode, though...I assume that had to do with the Tree of Harmony.

[chasing_clouds]

Yeah, when Tirek drained us we couldn't even fly. It was really bad.

Uh huh. The Tree of Harmony produced some kind of seed of some sort, which you and your friends used items to create keys to unlock it. I really liked how you all looked during it.

[sunny_skies]

"Yeah, I work in the Royal Court actually," admitted Sunny as she sat down, fighting down a blush. Keep it together Celestia, this is just a lunch. "But I send my daughter to school here in Ponyville, and I often spend time here as well."

"Joe has some fantastic coffee. Possibly better than here." She sent Mrs. Cake a apologetic smile to which the Cake grinned and nodded in agreement. "He's really got a handle on the drinks to go with his food."

[strawberryredgrave]

"That's why they call it a cup of Joe, right?" He teases.

It's not long before their order is ready for pickup and Dante brings it all to their table. They smell even more delicious up close and Dante can't help but dig a spoon into the strawberry one first. Call it a weakness. "So...must be pretty nice, jumping between here and there whenever you want. Two different kinds of society to choose from and all that."

[sunny_skies]

She sputtered at his joke and giggled merrily. "I guess so!"

Sunny tackled the chocolate first, because what was being a chocoholic if you couldn't indulge after all? "Ah yes, well sometimes it's tiring. I like spending time in Ponyville but my job makes me really tired out at times."

[strawberryredgrave]

"Must be pretty exhausting. I mean, it's the palace; if there's one place that's busy all the time, it's that one. I'd say Ponyville's a nice, quiet town, but the last thing it is is quiet. Random villains, stuff blowing up, invasions, Pinkie's parties...it's definitely nice, though."

Just gonna take another spoonful. Damn, this strawberry one is good...

[sunny_skies]

"You have no idea. Sometimes I feel like I've just lifted the moon and sun at the same time," grumbled Sunny, taking a vicious bite of her cake from her fork she was holding with a hoof. "I like working there, but sometimes it just gets overwhelming. This is a much easier vacation any day."

[strawberryredgrave]

"Can't fault you there. Palace work, plus taking care of a kid? Can't imagine it gives you much down time." As a former rascal himself, he knows how crazy kids can get.

Velvet Remedy || Fallout: Equestria || There be spoilers up to Chapter 21 here

[wastelandkindness]

1: The charcoal-grey mare with red and yellow streaks in her white mane is walking through the streets of Ponyville, and she can hardly believe her eyes. The sheer NUMBER of ponies here - in good health! The shops and stores filled to abundance! The fact that almost none of them go armed!

Then she finds herself looking at Sweet Apple Acres - or the sign declaring it so - and she bursts into tears.

2: A colt that had been playing in a tree had fallen and broken a leg. In a flash, Velvet is there. She murmurs a question, gets 'IT HUUURTS!' as a response, then she murmurs a reassurance. With a flash of white light from her horn, the colt stills.

Then she opens a tin marked with (of all things) Fluttershy's cutie mark, and starts to hover out bandages and a curious medical autoinjector that only a Wastelander could recognize. A Stim-Pak. She begins to work on binding the colt's leg.

3: The big band trumpets out Velvet's entrance, and she starts singing on the percussion.

"When I step around, I hear the sound~
ca~clip~a clopping' up and down the street
the shuffling' of hooves, it surely proves~
that I'll see you 'fore the day's complete!"

God, she actually missed singing in nightclubs. Now that she wasn't obligated by the Stable 02 Overmare, anyway. She had cleaned up, traded her pre-war (hah!) money for a suitable dress of sparkling amythest, and was lightning up at a bar in the Night Market.

"What is this wonderful feeling in my head?
Had it before I got up and outta bed~
Just wanna wear a smile and come find you for a while!"

Oh yes, this is much more fun as a hobby than it ever was as a career.

[sunny_skies]

"Paperwork, natural born chaos of everypony. And then my sister Moonstone who is dealing with her own issues... Can't imagine what got into her head when she had Trixie..." She mused, shaking her head. With so many Moonstone the Magnificent things going on around home, it was mindboggling Luna even kept up the guise.

Re: Velvet Remedy || Fallout: Equestria || There be spoilers up to Chapter 21 here

[millionbitpipes]

Some ponies do make it their career, however. And one of those is lurking in the Decanter's little backstage area, casually sipping a drink while he reads through the latest scroll posts. Harvey is not one for pre-show jitters, at least not on a routine performance like this one.

"Good show," he remarks as Velvet returns after her set, rolling up the scroll and standing to greet the mare. Mint Julep told him they were havin' a new girl on tonight, but he was talkin' with Flare before the show and didn't get a chance to introduce himself like he wanted. "The name's Harvey Finevoice," he says, offering a hoof. "I sing here most weekends, when I ain't travelin'."

[discorderly]

Oh, now surely it isn't as bad as all that.

[Also there are the occasional draconequui, just casually hovering in the air above.]

You haven't even met Applejack! That mare can just bore you to tears. [Over-dramatic sniffle. Hankie. He tosses it down to her when he's done, though.]

[wastelandkindness]

She's a little nonplussed by the etiquette - she knows it, she was taught it in the Stable, but the fact that it's freely offered in a non-wasteland still bothers her. It takes her a beat to shake his hoof back.

"Velvet Remedy," she says, and laughs. "I guess I'll hear the truth of your name soon enough. Is it a good life for you? A career, or just a job?"

[wastelandkindness]

[She looks down at the handkerchief, then up at whatever... diseased mutant she assumes Discord to be. When Velvet speaks, her voice is as soft as her namesake and has the calm tenor (or alto, in her case) of restrained rage.]

I don't know who or even what you are, or what irradiated hole you stitched yourself together from, but you do not have the right to talk about her that way. The other Ministers, perhaps. But not her.
