>>133373She lowers her head after the fact, looking up at him with a plaintive expression.
"K-k-kidnapped?"Autistic note: the term from the show is "foalnapped" >>133371"I used to sing sonbird's serenade's songs when I was filly so I got a similar cut. Well, something that cover your eyes when you want but a bowl cut isn't really the same her layered bangs."
>>133375"Well, Songbird Serande's old style it to have set of bangs forward over the eyes, and then move the hair that normally would fall to the side into two sets that move forward in another layer. So two larger layers of bangs facing forward. And that isn't
quite what you've got going here..." She says, looking at the bowl cut with an almost concerned expression
>>133374"Aye. He witnessed a murder or something, so they foalnappened him, right off the street. He was rescued though, thank Celestia. Sent back to his mum."
>>133376She nods, slightly relieved.
"Thank Celestia. I…I really should be going…" Next time on, "The Adventures of Fantasy Play and some other guys:" Fantasy Play and Amber Sunset go to the My chemical Romance concert but in for a big surprize.
>>133379That was just so bizarre! Was he pulling my hoof?
But then, how could he make up things like that…Disoriented and brooding over what just transpired, Amber doesn't have anywhere specific to go. Perhaps her legs will lead her someplace without her realizing it, or perhaps she'll get a nudge from an unlikely source.
It's too early to go home–and I don't want to go home with that fresh on my mind–and too late to be exploring a whole other part of the city…>>133378Nice title, poor music taste. Then again, I don't know the 1940's equivalent of MCR either. >>133380Now, just to figure out where to nudge her to...
Goodnight, ponies
>>133381One day we'll upload your lawyer brain to a computer so we can get DnD anytime, anywhere.
>>133376"Hey. Don't be mean," Fantasy Says but with still a playfull smile on her face. "Dad was a simple blacksmith in a village and I had a lot of siblings. He didn't wanna waste the money on getting us fancy mane-cuts so my mom did the best she could."
>>133424>>133423She scrunches for a moment, but then has a look on her face like she is genuinely sorry for the statement.
"I see. There are often not many options for families. Well, you're here in the chair right now, so I assume you want a change. So tell me, are you trying to impress a stallion? Trying to fit some idea of 'professional' for a new job? Do you just want to change how you look? Or are you tired of running into lampposts?"
>>133426What was Blue Skies cutie mark again?
>>133427A knife with wings coming out from either side. Sort of like the SAS symbol
>>133426Fantasy giggles and puts a hoof to her mouth. Then she pushes her lips together.
"Mmm... I guess I just want a new look," Fantasy says and taps her cheek as she ponders. "But I guess this board spread of hair-" Fantasy brings her hooves up to her hair and then spread tehm over the her mane. "-is so tightly connected with my own idenity by this point that I don't want to change it too much. Mmm... Would it be possible to get Songbird Serande's old look-" Fantasy lookas a bit away as she says this and a blush appears on her cheek. "-but maybe a bit shorter so that I don't need to move my mane out of the way all the time?"
>board
A wooden one to be specific.
>>133430The pony rears up on her hind legs and holds herself there, standing behind and over Fantasy as both look into the mirror. She places her forehooves on each side of Fantasy’s head.
“Yes, though keeping it that way is going to require maintenance. We just pull this up here” she pulls some of Fantasy’s mane around her ears up and forward “layer it, cut the first layer, and maybe pulls some of the mane back here up and over” she pulls on a section of Fahtasy’s mane further back. “And we cut it all short enough so you can see, walking forward.” Of course fantasy can’t necessarily see what she is doing, but she
can feel it.
>>133433"That actually sounds great! I guess if I should go for full cosplay I need to get large pink bowtie as well." Her head turns towards where Blue Skies is. "What do you think, Cloudy? You think it would look cute on me?"
>>133434Blue Skies:
“If you’re dressing up for the concert in Fillydelphia, you can certainly try. You’re missing the wings though, so you won’t
quite look like her.” She smiles back
>>133435Fantasy chuckles and smirks after that.
"I guess I'll have to cutout some wings from cardboards and attach. Mmm. Yeah, I think I'll go with it actually."
>>133437This makes the earth mare chuckle
“Now let’s get started”
She pulls up fantasy’s mane, and motions to cut it
>>133438Fantasy let's her cut it.
>>133439"I'm Broomstick by the way," Fantasy says. "But you can call me Broomie. Uh, I'm sorry perhaps you can't focus when somepony is talking?"
>>133439>>133440The mare pushes her bangs down, cuts it straight across, and then gathers a set of hair that normally falls to the side in two separate bunches, cutting them straight across and making them fall forward. Then she moves on to a third layer. Fantasy can swiftly tell that her ears do much of the work in keeping the mane in place, as much of it would want to fall to the side. She doesn’t do a bad job at imitating Songbird’s style, but it seems to be missing something with the front layer of the bangs cut above the mane.
Fantasy has plenty of time to talk or ask questions as this process is going on
>>133441“Well hello Broomstick. That’s a pretty neat name. My name is Minty Mane, the owner of this shop.” She takes another piece of hair. “No, I can talk”
>>133442>Pic >cardboard cut out >kek>>133442"Do you also color manes?"
>>133445“It’s possible, yes” she answers
>>133446"Well, Maybe for another day. I'm not sure if I'm ready for that yet and besides, if I colored my mane in black and yellow, then everypony would know who I was imitating and I would be could be a bit embarrassing. Anwyay, you said this mane would require maintenance."
>>133447“I can understand that. A mane is an essential part of a mare’s identity, and you want it to reflect both who inspires you but also a bit of yourself. As for maintenance, it’s not that complicated, but you’ll need to carefully comb the layered segments and keep it between your ears and facing forward. Otherwise, it will just fall down to the sides.”
Fantasy mumbled, "Mm-mm!" in agreement as the mare talked about a mare's mane being important for her identity.
"Mmm, could you show me later, just a little bit how I would go about doing that?" Fantasy asks.
>>133452“Of course. I can do it right now.” She positions a comb in her hoof, partly in the frog and partly on a steel horseshoe. She places it against Fantasy’s mane. “Just pull those up like so” she pulls a set of hair, and then another set. “Nestle it like so.” She places it between her ears. “Do the same for the other side... And there you go” she pulls away, showing the somewhat Songbird-like hair
>>133455Fantasy's eyes widens a bit as she follows the mare's hooves working in her hair in the mirror.
She smiles when it is done and claps her hooves together.
"Oh, how nice well. I will practice that when I get home. It looked pretty easy. I never got it liike that no matter how I." tried."
>>133456>>133457“And there you go. You look a little like the big singer. But much more than that, you look like you” she smiles
>>133458She wasn't finsihed cutting the mane right? She has just combed the mane in that style now.
>>133459Whether we skip to her being finished or not is basically a matter of whether Fantasy engages in more conversation before then.
>>133460Well, good. Then we haven't skipped forward yet, right?
>>133458"Oh, thank you. It looks great. Well you were right, Cloudburst. this was a nice shop," Fantasy says as she turns her head towards Blue Skies. "You know?" Fantasy leans her head backwards a bit as she speaks to the earth-pony mare. "Since Cloudy had been nagging me for a while now to get a mane-cut, I brought her with me out to look for one. It was actually her that picked this shop out. Though... She said she never been here before... Hmm... What does that flag mean?" Fantasy waves a hoof towards the flag in the window.
>>133460Does the piece ofcloth in the window looks like a flag? It does look like a flag right?
>>133461There is no skipping forward unless desired
“It’s nice to see you two ponies here. One of the best parts of operating a shop is meeting new creatures and talking to them. Hearing their stories...
Oh that? That’s the red and black. They call it Anarcho-Syndicalism, but that’s a more theoretical way of looking at it. Really, it’s about equality, rejection of hierarchy, the unity of all creatures, and freedom of the self while being part of a larger community.”
>>133462It’s a square piece of cloth that was most likely intended to be a large bandana, but it could be used as a flag
"Oh, so its like political stuff then," Fantasy says a bit downtrodden. She looks down into her lap and shifts a bit in her seat. "I'm not too big on poltitical stuff. Ponies just argue."
>>133464“Well... that makes sense. Mostly I just have it up because the Fascists banned the workers right to organize and bargain for their wages. And that’s not right. It’s to show solidarity with the workers who live around here and who are my customers.”
"As to cheer them up? Well, that's very nice of you," Fantasy says.
>>133466“Well, you know, to show that I support them and stand with them, and with the non-pony creatures of the city against the Fasvist occupiers.”
>>133468Fantasy begins to nods so that if the barber cuts at that moment she misses.
"That's brave," Fantasy says.
>>133469She smiles, and doesn’t even seem to notice her scissors clipping air
And thankfully not Fantasy’s ear“Bravery is needed in these hard times.”
>>133470Fantasy is silent for a bit and chews her own lips.
"Do you have like something that I could read about this on? Uh, like, you know, I have seen political ponies give out papers with their thoughts on before. Do you have something like that?"
