Second Smile | [Action, Video]

[brokethefourthwall]

[For the early risers in Luceti, around sunrise, you may happen to spot a certain little pink pony sneaking around the village. She tiptoes carefully across pathways, occasionally stopping to pose as various things. Maybe this would help her hide, if it wasn't for all the giggling and humming she was doing at the same time, muffled by the handle of the bag she carried between her teeth.

A few hours later, anyone wandering around will find these:



Absolutely everywhere; stuck to every tree, door and wall you could hope to find.

Of course, Pinkie isn't going to give anyone time to message her. She jumps on the journal herself. She grins from ear-to-ear, covered in little pink paint splotches barely noticable against her equally pink coat.]

Hiya, everypony! I hope you all found my invitations~! [Giggle.] I hope all of you come. But, if anypony wants to lend a hand getting things together, I'd really appreciate it! Mostly food and decorations, nothing too big, promise~.

[doubleppk]

I can help with decorations!

[brokethefourthwall]

Really? That would be great! Thanks, Fujiko!

[Voice]

[fleurdesel]

...Roan, little quadruped?

[Voice]

[brokethefourthwall]

Yeah! That old culture of ponies that built the coliseum and wore togas. [Giggle.]

I thought it would be fun to all dress and talk funny for a couple days.

[voice]

[folklorist]

I wouldn't mind helping out as well. It's a very nice time to have it, especially with all the new feathers coming in and whatnot. There's usually a new feather party being held around this time too.

[ Perhaps they could merge the two things together? A pause because he's not entirely sure what the theme will entail. ] Roans...

[voice]

[brokethefourthwall]

[Giggle.] Well if there's anything as fun as a party, it's a party after a party! I thought we could all wear togas and those little leaf crowns, just like the ancient Roans.

[voice]

[shenevermisses]

[She's listened to the beginnings of a few other conversations. Roan or Roman, it reminds her of home, a little. The Capitol and District Two and the Tribute Parade.

It sounds like there's already help setting up, so.]

I'll definitely be coming, Pinkie. [Because no way can she forget the name of a talking pink pony.

But she does want to offer to be useful:] If you need help cleaning up, I'd be glad to.

[voice]

[brokethefourthwall]

Really, Clove? I'm so glad! I bet you'll have a ton of fun~.

[voice] please disregard the bloodstains.

[bloodybishie]

[Prince has in fact seen the fliers. There was one on his door this morning.]

I might be able to help with food. But... what are ancient Roans?

[voice] You mean they don't fit the mood?

[brokethefourthwall]

An old pony culture from thousands of years ago. They wore togas and little leaf crowns, and had fights and entertainment in a big coliseum!

[ACTION YEAH]

[i_speak_softly]

[Here's an early riser. As Don circles the village on his morning run, he can't stop slowing to stare. Not only is that a bright pink horse, which is already a huge disadvantage when it comes to hiding, but it's also some of the least skillful sneaking he's ever seen. He's kind of inclined to pretend he doesn't see it, but the polite fiction really wouldn't be doing this villager any favors.]

Um... good morning.

[ACTION OH YEAH]

[brokethefourthwall]

[Pinkie turns her head quickly, only to be met with a turtle nearly twice her height.]

Oh, good morning!

[voice]

[truthin_bones]

[She had seen the invitations around town. And while not exactly the party type, its the information on the invitation that piqued her curiosity.]

What exactly were the ancient Roans?

[voice]

[brokethefourthwall]

Not what, who~! They were a civilization of ponies thousands of years ago. They wore togas and had fights and entertainment in a huge coliseum!

[Voice]

[donteatmyfries]

How wild and dangerous can we expect this party to be?

[Voice]

[brokethefourthwall]

It'll be super-ly wild! Everypony is invited, and the Battle Dome is going to be a-rockin!

[lostinmyway]

[Damn right Grune is gonna lend a hand. Parties are definitely her scene.]

Oh, I'd love to help!

[brokethefourthwall]

Oh! You're that nice hue-man from the item shop. I'd love for you to help~.

[voice]

[shying]

Of course I'm ready to help with anything you need, Pinkie.

[voice]

[brokethefourthwall]

Thanks, Fluttershy! Know anything about making togas?

[video - sorry for the tl;dr?]

[death_awaits_you]

Oh wow, that seems like so much fun! I'd be glad to help out with set up, if you'd like. [ Have a boy with a yellow scarf who is just about as excited as Pinkie, after seeing one of the invitations. Ryoji really likes parties, because everyone has so much fun and there's delicious food and -- well, let's just say he's looking forward to this, especially after having spent so long mallynapped.

He pauses a moment, though, as he remembers that even though he recognizes Pinkie Pie and remembers her from that AU experiment a while back, he's since learned that of all the ponies in Luceti, only Fluttershy actually knows him from his stint as Mooncloth...

Sooo... he takes a moment to introduce himself.]

My name's Ryoji, by the way.

[video - tl;dr is great! No worries!]

[brokethefourthwall]

Hiya, Ryoji! My name's Pinkie Pie~. And thanks, I'd love more help setting up!

[video]

[idealism]

That's an excellent idea!

Let me know if you need any help?

[video]

[brokethefourthwall]

I need help everywhere! [Giggle.]

I've got food to make, decorations to hang, and togas to sew. It's gonna be great~!

[Video]

[toujoursfluer]

[why, hello you small, rather violently pink pony]

I would like to lend a hand.

[Or several]

[Video]

[brokethefourthwall]

Really? That would be great! I'm Pinkie Pie, nice to meet you~.

[Action]

[honestmelons]

[Luckily for everyone involved, AJ is finally steady enough on her feet to get back to work around the farm. And so, she's up bright and early while Pinkie is delivering invitations. Winona barks a greeting to give away Pinkie's "hiding" place, and AJ waves to her.]

Well, howdy, Pinkie! What brings you by so early?

[Action]

[brokethefourthwall]

Hiya, AJ! Glad to see you up on your feet~. [She giggles, reaching into her bag and handing her an invitation.]

I just wanted to come by and give you one of these!

[Voice]

[knightofratatosk]

I could help out if you want. I've helped with a lot of the parties at the Welcome Center before, so I'm already used to that kind of thing.

[Voice]

[brokethefourthwall]

You work for the Welcome Center? That's so cool! I bet you get to meet everypony.

[tailasoldastime]

[While not always up for sunrises, Beast just happens to be on this particular day and thought that a little walk around the village would be safe since no one would be aro-except for... more ponies? How many are there here? But she seems to be coming this way... he probably should greet her, right? Awkward, though; he wasn't expecting - hoping - anyone else would be outside.]

I... uh, I... h-hello?

[Action]

[brokethefourthwall]

[And then Pinkie comes across Beast: a a furry monster that towers over the little pony. Of course, in normal Pinkie style, she flashes a wide smile.]

Goody-good morning!

[wannabolt]

[Okay, so, Dash totally manages to spot Pinkie when she's out for her morning flight, aaand... she's totally gonna swoop down and see what's up.]

Party invites? Well, I knew it'd happen sooner or later.

[brokethefourthwall]

[Giggle.] I planned for sooner. I think I'd go crazy if I had to wait for later!
