First Smile | [Action]

[brokethefourthwall]

[Hello, citizens of Luceti. I hope you're all enjoying your daily routine. Picking up your lunch for the afternoon, or catching up on some reading by the fountain. Maybe even taking a trip to the item shop for some... window shopping.

Because you're not getting inside.

That's right. Anyone approaching the item shop will instantly notice the wagon in the doorway. A wagon holding a mountain of items so random that it would take some kind of evil genius to see how they all fit together. Or Pinkie Pie. You should probably suspect Pinkie Pie. The bubblegum-pink pony is happily darting from pile to pile, shelf to shelf, picking up and playing with just about everything she can get her hoofs on. Every once in a while, she'll gasp in excitement, before tossing an item onto her ever-growing mound.]

This is the best. Store. Ever!

His Majesty? We have a king here?

[brokethefourthwall]

I know that, silly!

[She hops down from the pile, grinning wide.]

[knightofratatosk]

Oh... right.

[He blinks at the huge pile of stuff in the wagon. That's certainly an interesting assortment of things...]

What's all of that for? Are you having a party?

[WRONG QUESTION, EMIL.]

[brokethefourthwall]

I'm not sure! [Giggle.]

We should set up a little place where everypony can go and just have fun!

[brokethefourthwall]

Hi, Mac! I'm Pinkie Pie! [Giggle.]

[thelittlemacthatcould]

Nice t'meetchya. [A mildly awkward smile is offered, but his happiness at making a new acquaintance is genuine.] Say... can I call ya Pinkie? Or d'y'want the whole thing?

[Hah - he's pretty sure that is what Kazooie had called him when they had first met.]

[shying]

I don't entirely understand it, but... I suppose you can't help being scared sometimes.

[She's really not one to talk about unwarranted fear.]

[doubleppk]

[Everypony... cute.]

There might sort of be a place like that already. Depends on your idea of fun.

[brokethefourthwall]

[She laughs, giving Fluttershy a warm smile.]

Well maybe I can help cheer them up~!

[shying]

Oh! Would you like to come and help me, then?

[That sounds delightful.]

[brokethefourthwall]

Of course! I like making everypony smile, even the little animals~. [Giggle.]

[shying]

Well, follow me, then! I just need to get some supplies first, and then I'll show you the way.

[Onward, into the shop! Hopefully a bandage fetch quest won't be too difficult.]

[brokethefourthwall]

[Especially since Pinkie has nearly picked the place clean.]

Sure! What kind of supplies do you need?

[fanged_wings]

[Grins happily at that and claps his hands together] Okay~! I'll do my best!

What sort of stuff do you have already? [A lot, by the look of it]

[shying]

Just a little roll of soft bandages. The little ones need to avoid using their wings until they heal and grow up properly.

[canterlock]

Let us hope so. [She has no idea where it all went originally, though the moving part shouldn't be a problem. Luna allows her crown to settle back onto her head, between ears and horn.]

By the way, what didst thou intend to do with all of this? [She indicates all the things.]

[degleamed]

Well, he might not be your king, but he's my king in the kingdom I come from.

[lostinmyway]

[Sorry, Pinkie, but Grune isn't noticing. Thinking is very absorbing work, don't you know.]

Now let me see....

[wannabolt]

[...A wagon with a mountain of random items.

Hoo boy. She knows only one pony who would gather so many odd little trinkets. And here Dash was gonna check things out. Well, for now, she'll try and squeeze her head into the door.]

Pinkie!
