3 ♊ Take your dark days

Who: Artolo Apemis and any Pride who will put up with him for an extended period of time
What: Art is going lion shopping. This is not slang of any sort. You've been invited.
When: Throughout the day of February 11th
Where: Roman's Animal Sanctuary
Warnings: None planned. Feel free to treat this as a mingle log

For there to be any extended space in Vista City, things tend to be... crowded. It's the obvious solution when a city gets big enough. Roman's Animal Sanctuary has the delightful honor of having established a space the size of a baseball field some time before the city swallowed it up. The problem became when they needed to expand, but simply couldn't.

The solution: Get with the times and build upwards.

With high ceilings on all floors meant to cycle through different times of day in accordance with actual daytime, enormous windows, and certain measures taken to mimic appropriate weather, Roman's is half a zoo (to help fund its upkeep) besides just being an animal sanctuary for various abused or abandoned animals of the more exotic sort.

This includes lions.

Coincidentally, lions are why you're here.

Somehow, one Artolo Apemis has invited you to go what he called "lion shopping" and that, as it turns out, is not slang even remotely. Roman's been alerted of this high profile visit from a bunch of Pride jackasses, and is more than happy to allow the musicians to check out some of the staff areas behind the scenes instead of just being stuck in the public areas. Yes, you can feed the publicly approved llamas and goats plus large animals with sharp teeth. Under strict supervision, of course.

Pinkie frowns a little. "I don't know."

There are names she could give her, of course. This pony doesn't look or act like any of those other ponies - in a lot of ways - but she could do that anyway. If she wanted.

She doesn't really want people to think she's crazy though. Sure, people thought that before, but in a fun kind of way. "Oh, Pinkie's crazy, she'll party all night!" Not "Pinkie literally wishes she had hooves!" Those are two pretty different things.

"Maud," she decides suddenly, without quite meaning to. "I mean - I guess? That's a pretty good name, right?"

Amazingly annoying.

[He huffs and looks around. One of the birds seems to be kind of curious about these two strange animals in the enclosure and Terry's response to this is to shuffle a little closer to Yuffie. Not that he's scared or anything. That would be ridiculous. Ha ha ha.]

Can we get out of here?

[He clutches he clutches his milkbread to his chest.]

Birds like bread. And these are half tame, the worst combination with birds.

[He gives the birds a middle finger and stuffs his face with his bread. With his mouth full;]

You got your lions?

No. Well, maybe. But your eyes are... not human.

[This perks him up] Double A you're an alien!!

"Oh." Pinkie blinks, raising her head from the pony's mane, though she keeps her arms lightly looped around its neck. "That's...what happened?"

She talked to Lesedi once, and she thought it went okay. She'd actually thought they could've been friends! But, well, that was before a lot of other things happened. Maybe it didn't even happen the way she remembers it.

[A nod.]

That's the one.

Maud, huh.

"Well, I'll be honest." Garnet tilts her head. "I probably would have given it a worse name, myself. Like...Ash. Or...Smoky."

...She's trying, Pinkie, she really is.

Penthouse - Text message

Hmmm? Care to elaborate on needing an adult?

Animal Sanctuary - Log form

[This is a new experience for Sariel: he has vague memories of going to zoos with his family, but... nothing like this. A paradise for big cats really lets him see them in all their glory. And the ligers... adorable creatures, like lions with stripes.]

[Spotting Artolo, he can't help smiling.]

You certainly seem in your element, as much as the cats.

"Maybe we should dim the lights for you in the penthouse..." She's still amazed at this, she's heard of eye color changes, but not the whole eye.

Pinkie sniffs a little. "Those aren't bad names." She guesses. They don't entirely sound like pony names to her, even if those are totally the kind of things you call your pet. What are pony names supposed to sound like?

She sighs, letting go of the pony's neck to fall back into a sitting position. "I'm not - " Pinkie shakes her head, curls bouncing. This is something she's kept to herself for a while, and she's not even sure how to explain about it now. "I don't even know if I like ponies or not. They kinda freak me out."
twoscompany: (HMMM)

Garnet looks at the pony staring at Pinkie, and gives it a few pats on the snout.

"Why do they freak you out?"

Oh. Of course.

[Her face visibly falls at this.]

Well, what are ghosts? Probably it was just stress.

[It might be a moment or two later, but a reply arrives...]

Ahhh, I'm no stranger to those. Had a few nights of my own where something went down that I didn't remember happening.

Hangover remedy in order??

[The same stress that nearly killed Steven, hurt Terry...]

Yes, of course. Maybe once we're out we can talked about how to...you know. Relive stress.

"I thought your manager didn't like you."

Pinkie's got just enough tact not to mention that she thought most of the higher-ups disliked Artolo. Managers are a different matter - it seems like nobody really gets along with them anymore. She can't imagine that it was always like that.
sailorlaughter: (Doubtful)

[personal profile] sailorlaughter 2016-02-19 03:45 pm (UTC)(link)
Pinkie squirms a little. "Iiiiiii...don't know. It's like - "

She falls quiet for a second, thinking about it. "I mean, they're nice. They're fluffy and warm, and this one's being really good! But they're sorta like...those weird mannequins you see in nice clothes stores? With the eyes." They're almost, almost something - and then at the end, they just fall short. It's not right.
