The link is above. Also, the title is different from the OOC so you can differentiate when you get notifs.

 

 

Nightfall woke up. Today, he had nothing. He wondered what he could do as he ate his breakfast and stepped outside into the sun. He blinked, and looked around.

Vinyl woke up just a little after Nightfall. She grabbed a bowl of cereal for herself and Violet and noticed that Nightfall was standing in the doorway. She walked over to him and playfully nibbled on his ear. "Mornin' sweetie. How'd you sleep last night?"

[Pulcinella 1,016]

Esme woke up to her pet dragon snoring, as always. "Eldrich, keep it down. I'm trying to sleep." she mumbled. The blue pegasus rolled out of bed, literally, and fell face-first on the hardwood floor. "Just another day in my life." She stumbled down the stairs and got herself a bowl of cereal. Esme glanced out the window and saw her neibor, Screwball, staring at her. She sighed and closed the curtains. "This new neibor is SO weird."

Violet raced to the table, eagerly climbing abroad a nearby chair fluttering her wings to help boost her upward. She hesitated to start eating upon noticing her father at the doorway. She was about to speak when her mother, Vinyl Blade joined Nightfall. Instead of eating, she hopped off and onto the floor, racing to her father, grasping ahold of one of his hind legs, looking imploringly into Nightfall's eyes.

 

 

"Daddy? Won't you eat with us? The food is getting cold..." She paused...realizing that the meal itself was served cold...but then added, "It's getting soggy..." She started to whimper, exchanging glances at both Vinyl Blade and Nightfall. Her tail swagged back and forth, eagerly awaiting for their response.

Nightfall looked down at his daughter and smiled.

"Yes, Violet, I will, in a moment."

He rubbed her head with his hoof. He then looked at Vinyl and his smiled broadened.

"We better not keep her waiting, my dear."

Nightfall walked slowly back inside. He thought about what he needed to do.

[~The Snowy Wolf~ 1,579]

Vinyl looked at her daughter and joked, "I think I like your daddy's ear better. Haha," then she turned back to Nightfall. "So, what are we doing today. You know, after breakfast." She whispered into Nightfall's ear, "I was thinking that maybe we could take the little one to the movies later on today, after school."

Esme heard the ringtone that she set for her boyfriend Yavolin. She rushed over to the phone and picked it up a split second before it stopped ringing. "Hey, Yavi. What's up?" She listened for a while, and frowned. "But Yavoli- Yavolin? Are you still there?" Esme sighed and set down the phone. She turned around, to go back to her breakfast, but was immediately greeted by Eldrich. "Who was that? Was it Yavolin? What did he say?" "Eldy, I don't have time for this." The blue pegasus tried to look confident and intemetating, but it obviously wasn't working. "Come on, what did he say?" The baby dragon was very fixated on these facts, Esme decided. "Well, he said he wanted to-to..." She couldn't say it without crying. "Oh, c'mon. Stop being a foal, Esme." Eldrich said as she rolled her eyes. But by the time she looked back, her friend was gone, and the door was open. She stuck her head out, and saw Esme flying towards Ponyville, tears streaming behind her.

Motion Spark woke up in the couch of the appartment he's sharing with Wits End in Seaddle, he knows that he can't keep Wits running the appartment by himself, so he's determined to pay him back somehow.

 

He just had time to wash his face, brush his mane and left for a trip, he left a note to Wits beforehand.

 

He ate nothing for breakfast.

Lavender was happily walking out of Sugarcube Corner with her daily donut when she heard somepony crying nearby. She looked up to see Esme fly quickly past. "Esme, what's wrong?..." Lavender quickly finished her donut and flew after Esme, hoping she was ok.

[Nightfall 3,950]

"We could do that, Blade... But first thing is first."

Nightfall sat down at his usual spot. He magically grabbed a newspaper and a coffee mug.

"Did we make coffee yet? I forgot."

He laughed. He was beginning to be laid back... Maybe too laid back. He knew that sooner or later, he would have to find some kind of job.

[~The Snowy Wolf~ 1,579]

 

"I made it just the way you like it. Also, don't forget, today it's your turn to bring Violet to school... Or we could both bring her. It's up to you. I don't have much of anything planned today, I just need to go see the princesses real quick and then I'll be done for the day." Vinyl walked over to the coffee pot and poured a cup for Nightfall.

[Abysmal Hex 33]

"Ewwwwwww...." Violet shuddered, and started to return to the table. Looking back to what looked like her mother Vinyl pitting her snout into Nightfall's ear, whispering, Violet stuck her tongue out in disgust.

 

Instead of hopping back on the chair, Violet sped past it, galloping into the living area. There, she bound to her cozy corner of the room, leaping onto the edge of her toy box. She retrieved a plush Wonderbolt Fleetfoot doll and threw it on her back, before jetting her way back to the dining room. Taking the tight corner, Violet can be seen bounding back to the table, eager to join both her parents. Violet launched the Plush Fleetfoot doll up into the air and onto the table, before finally propping herself back onto the chair to join.

 

She scooted the doll closer to her, manipulating it as if it were alive. Together, Violet and plush Fleetfoot inspected the content, inside the bowl.

 

"Do you think it's safe?" she quietly asked the doll, then muttering out through the side of her mouth, she began to voice for Fleetfoot.

 

"Have no fear Violet, so long as I'm here, you'll always be safe!" Violet toyed the doll inside the bowl, dipping the snout into the milk and back out again. "It tastes safe to me, let's eat!". Violet grinned with a squeak and in unison with her doll, they plopped their snouts into the milk.

Esme landed in front of Carousel Boutique, she knew that Rarity could help in this situation. She walked inside, to see the white unicorn creating a beautiful dress for next year's Gala. "Wow, Rarity, that's really pretty!" the blue pegasus exclaimed. "Yes, thank you. It took me all night to make the colors match up correctly. Now, dear, how may I help you?" Esme shifted uncomfortably. "Well, I talked to my boyfriend, Yavolin, this morning, and well, he's breaking with me." There was a long pause before Rarity said: " Oh, Esmerelda, darling, that's terrible! Are you alright? He seemed like such a nice young stallion, too." Esme nodded. " He was. I guess he didn't think the same of me." Suddenly, a pony that Esme didn't know burst in. " Um, hello?" the blue pegasus said.

OOC: Now, I would like it if somepony came into the boutique so I'm not forever ignored.

[Octavia's Cellozoid 1,488]

OOC:Your OC already knows mine, but I'll burst in anyway!

 

Lavender saw Esme go into Carousel Boutique, so she followed in shortly after. ..."didn't think the same of me." Lavender heard Es,e utter as she walked in. "Um, hello?" "Esme, what's wrong? Did something really, really, really bad happen, like, did Eldrich die, or something?" Lavender questioned quickly.

Vinyl watched Violet zip about and grab her plushie Fleetfoot toy. She giggled as Violet talked to her doll. "Violet, you know we don't put our toys in our food." She then began to eat her own cereal. When she noticed that Nightfall didn't eat, she said, "Hon, is everything alright? You haven't touched your breakfast yet."

[Nightfall 3,950]

"Hm? Oh, yes, it is all all right. I just have to figure what job I should get... You know, I have to support the family somehow."

Nightfall lifted the spoon to his mouth and ate his cereal.

"I'm thinking about old friends and how they could help. There is a possibility I could meet them later, maybe even this week, and figure something out. Unless, of course, you have ideas, dear."

[Motion Spark 7,807]

Motion took his old but always trusty and long lasting blue saddlebag, filled it with his most valuable items and put it on his back, it was kinda heavy but it was nothing he hadn't did before.

 

He trotted to Seaddle main town, and approchead the train tickets cabin:

 

Motion: "Good Morning ma'am, how much is a ticket to Ponyville?"

 

Pony Lady: "It's 25 bits".

 

Motion had the 25 bits, but if he would buy the ticket he would be with extremely low funds by the time he reach to Ponyville.

 

Motion: "Thank you" awkwardly said with a fake smile.

 

He sat in a corner to internally debate his options...

Violet listened with a blank expression, dripping milk on the table top along with her Fleetfoot doll. Flabbergasted by her mothers comment, she turned away, hunching over the plush Wonderbolt, whispering.

 

"There there...Don't cry Fleetfoot..." she said, stroking the doll's mane. "I'll save some for you." Violet then added as she cuddled with it a moment longer, before laying it beside her flank and resumed eating.

 

Listening in the conversation at hand, Violet munched on her cereal, exchanging glances at one another, speaking of obtaining a job, family income and such. Upon finishing her portion, making sure to leave a little milk sloshing within the bowl, Violet snuck it away and sat it beside her doll.

 

"There you go Fleetfoot!" Violet patted the doll on the head. "You gotta drink it all up to continue being strong!" She cheered.

She then hurried to gather her saddle bag, prepping and getting ready for her first school day. The young Violet rushed out into the opening, and before her father and mother. "I'm ready!" She exclaimed.

 

"Are we going to take the train again?..." Violet paused, then asked, "...Or is the school close to Ponyville?" She again, began to swag her tail in a very inpatient manner, with an upbeat, cheerful optimism.

[~The Snowy Wolf~ 1,579]

Vinyl finished her cereal and put her and Violet's bowls in the sink. "Well... You could always get a job with the Royal Guard in Ponyville. It pays well enough. And you know we don't need to worry about income much, since I still get paid by Celestia for being in the Secret Service."

 

She turned to Violet. "Well don't you seem excited? No, sweetie, I'm sorry, we're not taking the train to school anymore. It's real close. I think I heard one of your classmate's name was Applebloom. Isn't she related to Applejack?"

With the usual collection of crick and creaks, Mighty Force got up out of bed and with a slow patience got out of bed. He paused at the mirror to fix his mane and check his beard, then pulled on his old coat, the momento of the old days. He smiled in remembrance, and then finished getting ready and headed out.

The sun was bright but a nice breeze kept things cool. A couple of vendors who recognized him greeted him as he walked past, and chatted with them. He headed to the park and sat down on the bunch, looking at the local wildlife. Life was good, and calm, and happy.

 

Only one of those things every bothered him.

[Nightfall 3,950]

"It's the man's job toehold the family together... Or at least tradition says so."

Nightfall finished, and put his bowl in the sink.

"I'll take Violet to school today. You go take care of your business with the Princess. Oh, and while I'm out, I'm going to go to the Ponyvile Royal Guard recruiting office and see if I can get a job."

He kissed Blade on the cheek.

"Love you."

He turned to his filly.

"Now, then, dear one. Let's get you to school."

[~The Snowy Wolf~ 1,579]

"Now, then, dear one. Let's get you to school."

 

((Seriously? Dear one? -_-))

 

Vinyl kissed him back and bent down to hug and kiss Violet. "You have a nice day at school today. Have fun and make mommy proud." She got up and turned to Nightfall. "We don't have to follow tradition, you know. We can be perfectly happy with me supporting the family. But some extra money never hurt anypony. We could even save up to go on a trip soon. How's that sound?"

[Abysmal Hex 33]

"Oh kay mommy, I will!" Violet responded as she scooped up the Fleetfoot doll to bring along.

She waved her mother good bye before exiting the residency and falling in beside Nightfall as they made their way to her new school she would soon be attending.

 

She occasionally looked up, watching Nightfall, as she would try to keep pace with him. Violet couldn't help but gander at all of the interesting shops along the way through town, not quite at the center yet where the famed town hall was located. The morning was very crisp, and serene, as the fauna of the land came to life with their songs. At this point, they were coming past the famed Carousel Boutique, trimmed and styled as gorgeous as the dresses and gowns that were displayed within the window casings on the ponikins.

 

Violet rushed to one of the windows, hooves pawing at a Gainsborough hat that was trimmed in various velvety black and maroon colors.

 

"Tis quite lovely daddy..." Violet stated, mesmerized by the size and beauty of the clothing article that laid before her eyes.

She noticed several ponies within, speaking to one another...Rarity was hidden somewhere and couldn't be seen from Violets angle, but two were speaking with eachother, one slightly distressed and the other with a worried look in her eyes.

 

"I wonder what's going on in there daddy..." She asked openly to Nightfall, then she asked, "Can we go in and look around perhaps?"

 

"I would love to look at all of the lovely hats inside." She then stood on her hind legs, resting her small hooves against Nightfalls right leg. "Pleaseeeeeeeeeeeeee...?" She begged, as she stared imploringly into Nightfall's eyes

"Oh, no. It's nothing like that, thank goodness. Yavolin broke up with me, is all." Esme looked out the shop window to see a filly leaning against the glass. "Oh, isn't she just adorable?" The blue pegasus thought about how she was supposed to have a foal two years back, but it turned out to be a miscarriage, and ran outside. Ever since that incident happened, she loved young ponies. "Hi, there. What's your name?"

[Nightfall 3,950]

Nightfall stopped and looked. He smiled. He then saw a mare ran outside and ask her her name.

"Ah, that would be my filly, Violet Minx," Nightfall announced as he walked up.

"I'm supposed to be taking her to school, but she stopped her to admire. I guess she just likes the shop."

Nightfall laughed.
