>>136674>>136675I think Silver is trying to sleep with her, so it only makes sense that he sits and pretends to be interested as he listens to her ramble.
>>136676Sure, I don't know the context so in this situation it might make sense. And again, I kinda of do like your characters opinions and often what they are talking about.
I just think that you have done this a lot before. Just try to avoid doing these one-sided conversations with my character and there is no problems.
>>136676I think you are very competent, just giving my opinion and prefrences. :)
>>136584Amber smiles.
"Alright, let's see what we have here." She looks for something relatively inexpensive.
>>136684"Uh..." She has a rather awkward smile
"Yes..."
Inexpensive ware, among other things, leads Amber back to the sweaters, although the one semi-formal heavy dress remains an option.
>>136680I
was a philosophy major in college, so you'll see things like these posts.
But now I know what you prefer so, I will avoid those with Fantasy Play.
>>136685D'aww, thanks >>136686Amber prods a sweater with a hoof.
"These are popular from what I'm told. Probably more practical to wear everyday than a whole dress, but I leave it up to you." >>136688"Uh, how much for the dresses...?" She has a wide toothy smile
>>136689Amber tallies up the price and tells the mare.
>>136690About 100 bits for the formal dress, 38 for the semi formal, and 12 for a sweater.
Imagine a timelapse of a flower wilting condensed to two and a half seconds, and you have an understanding of how the mare's lips slowly came down as the price was related to her.
>>136693"Uh... hehe, do you have store credit?"
High Sewn is already shaking her head from behind the counter, watching with neutral expression
>>136694"Er, no…but maybe we could hold a piece of stock until you've saved enough for it." She looks hopefully at High Sewn to see her response to this.
"Living in a brick house in town isn't cheap, but I think a nice sweater will suit you fine." >>136695"In... layaway?"
High Sewn nods
"I guess... Hopefully there will be enough after the next pay check..."
>>136696Amber pats the mare's withers in consolation.
"What is it you want, exactly? It'll be here next time you stop by." >>136697"Uh"
She pulls up her lips again, and this time, in a manner like a wince.
"I think... this one"
She points at the relatively formal heavy dress
"But I
really like this one"
She points to the more formal dress.
"But I'll take this one"
Pointing again at the formal dress
"When I... have enough money"
>>136699She smiles in a friendly manner.
"Take your time.
Hope to see you soon and best of luck!" >>136700She returns to the awkward smile
"Uh, okay... Thank you for the help!"
She slowly turns around, and slowly walks out, tail down
>>136701Amber waits patiently for the next customer to show up.
>>136702After an indeterminate passage of time, a mare walks in through the front door. She does not look around nor modify her pace as she walks from the door and towards the back. She wears a white an black faux fur jacket. Her mane and tail are curly, and partly in a bind, but partly just messy, and they move up and down as she moves forward. Her left lower eyelid is partly raised up.
>>136705Amber cheerily approaches the mare from the side and walks beside her.
"Hello, ma'am, how can I help you today?" >>136706"Hmmm?"
She turns her purple eyes, though not her head, to Amber. Her faux fur coat extends down her forelegs as well. She makes a big smile, and she seems to be around High Sewn's age
"Well yes, I'm expecting my fiance to return today, or any day now."
She speaks with a thick accent of the Hayseed Swamp region
"And I just
need to look my best"
She pulls up a part of her hair on the left as if to make the point.
>>136707"Oh, that's wonderful…um, of course!" Amber thinks to herself for a moment before continuing her reply,
"You already look wonderful, what more do you need?" Evidentially this is not a rhetorical question as Amber scans the shelves around the store.
>>136708"Oh have to be up with the times. Must look the best for when Sterling Starlight comes home."
She moves her head closer, and bats her eyes with a smile
"So a fine dress, if you have any."
>>136710"Certainly! Right this way." She leads the customer to the area with the dresses.
>>136711She looks around
"Not a
bad selection"
She inspects a yellowish looking dress
""But... you're young. What do the stallions like the most, these days?"
>>136712"Oh, erm...I just arrived in Baltimare yesterday. I can't say I'm an expert, but…" Amber tries to remember what dresses mares her age were wearing in the better parts of town.
[1d20 = 1] >>136714>>136713It was kind of weird. They'd damn near put bunches of bananas or pineapples on their heads to make themselves look like cornucopias, or something.
>>136717She raises an eyebrow
"Come again? The fillies wear... fruit?"
>>136719She looks into Amber's eyes in serious contemplation, and waits a moment, before nodding
"So, do you... what do you have in the way of turbans or hats?"
>>136720Amber shows what's in stock.
>>136721"Uh... Maybe.... This dress
kind of looks like a banana..."
>>136723She blinks
"'Fine' will not do." She tilts her head and closes her eyes as she says "Only
exquisite."
Who will be here this weekend?
>>136649She shakes her head
"The more fanciful ones say that the sun and moon just rise naturally independent of pony input, and the princesses merely mime moving them. If there is any appearance of movement separate from its standard pattern, it's just illusion magic. Another subset say that the Princesses can and sometimes do move the celestial bodies themselves, but these things don't
need them, and can move on their own. Still another group - actually this is an older idea - says that the sun and moon can move on their own, but they need alicorns or unicorns to adjust their movement and keep it from crashing down. But in all of these explanations, telekenesis magic isn't any more special or spiritual than magnetism, for example."
She smiles and snickers
"Not that any of the professors can explain how
they work."
>>136725There's a bright yellow... if you add the green top to this orange one, it kind of looks like a pineapple. Or maybe a lime green dress.
>>136741Amber nods and gets the green top, assuming of course that such articles are interchangeable.
>>136742It takes a little bit of creativity in mixing and matching various layers of clothing, and a little bit of imagination as well. She’ll probably need to go by a hat store and a grocer, but she’s well on her way to the highest levels of fashion.
>>136743Amber smiles at the results of her amateurish attempt to dress the mare.
"You look…how did you put it again…exquisite!" I'm ready to play if you are.
>>136794Hello
>>136744A nice green cravat, a scarf on top of that that is also green, a brown and orange dress... there, she looks like a pineapple. Dude will marry her for sure.
