"I was wondering if bonfires were allowed on this beach."
Icy trotted over towards Sandy's house and waved hello behind Cadmium, when Sandy spotted her. Otherwise she would let the two do the talking.

Sandy gave a nervous little wave, still keeping the door half-closed.

"Bonfires? Sure, just stick to the flatter parts of the beach, clean up after yourself, keep it under control, anything else?" he spouted out at a rapid pace. His desire to get back to hiding indoors outweighed his desire to know why she wanted a bonfire.

'I..." She managed as she watched the stallion act all weird. "I mean, yeah, I think that's all I wanted to hear...I mean know." She scrunched her brows and dipped her head in a staring sort of way. "I know its not really none of my business, but, are you alright?"

Sandy flashed them both an entirely unconvincing smile. "I'm fine, just fine, why wouldn't I be-"
He felt a familiar, magical tickling in his throat and tongue, and his eyes went wide. "Berightbackleftthewaterrunnin'!" He zipped away in a flash and did a flying dive into his back room. With mere moments to spare, he buried his muzzle in a seat cushion, muting the winding, magically-induced explanation of the whole truth. A few moments later, he reappeared at the half-closed front door, breathing heavily. "Sorry 'bout that. I'm doin' fine, doin' just fine, we're all fine, uh, how are you?" he rambled.
Icy might recall one of the symptoms of his transformed state from her thorough testing. :smalltongue:

"Are you sure you're okay? I mean...is this regular behavior? Should I be concerned? Actually, should I get help?" She turned to Icy then. 'Is he your friend?"

Icy nodded. "He's fine. He just have... hmm... well, he has a condition you see. A rather special condition." She smiled a little, as if she and Sandy shared some great secret. "At any rate, it's of no concern, so don't you worry."

-Icy went and saved his bacon. He mouthed her a "thank you" behind Cadmium's back, which turned into furious nodding when she turned back around. "Yup, what she said. Condition. Nothin' to worry about. No help necessary."

Re: [My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic] Bridle Shores, General Town thread 7
"Right......" She shifted her eyes between the two. "Well fine, whatever sinks your boat. Whelp, I got the information I wanted so I'll be leaving now. Thank you Sandy Shores."

Icy gave Sandy a look. The type which says "you owe me". Clearly, she did not know how chilling this effect might have on Sandy. :smalltongue:
Regardless, she said her goodbyes to Sandy as well, and followed Cadmium back to the beach.

Re: [My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic] Bridle Shores, General Town thread 7
The two of them had been running around the beach in circles, apparently under the impression that this was what normal ponies did when waiting. When the inquiring pair came back, the pegasus and unicorn couple got inquiring.
"Well? How did it go?"
"Is Sandy OK? He looked down earlier."
They asked.
-
Re: [My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic] Bridle Shores, General Town thread 7
After returning to the others from Sandy's house Cadmium went to those two nearly single minded ponies.
"Yeah...that Sandy guy said it was okay to have a bonfire here, there's some minor guidelines, but we can do it," She said pondering if she should answer the other question. "He's acting weird...says its a condition or whatever, I dunno." She shrugged her shoulders.

"What kind of music do you like? I can play most things, though I'm not so swell with electronic music."

Sandy gulped audibly, barely keeping from running up to his room and locking himself in until this day was over. He managed a wimpy half-wave as the two ponies left. "R-right. You're welcome. Glad t'help." Once they were far enough away, he slammed the door closed and locked it tight. Now he was even more of a nervous wreck than before. He couldn't keep stewing here; he needed something to keep his mind and hooves busy. He looked over his storefront (that sculpting business nopony uses :smalltongue:) and spied his bags of sand. Maybe...maybe he could make something without magic to hold the sand together. Yeah, that'd work. Full of desperate optimism, he scooped up a bag and headed into his workroom.

"Oh no!"
"Oh dear... What should we do, Top Hat?"
Top Hat pawed the sand a bit as he thought.
"Hmm...No one should have to be troubled by conditions alone..."
"But we don't know what it is, so it's not like we can go get some..."
Then Top Hat's face lit up.
"I know! He needs to bond! So when we get the bonfire made... We can invite him to come join us, and share in the bonding!"
"We can make S'mores! And sing songs!"
"And then it'll be crystal-clear that he's not alone, and he'll be happy!"
"Incredible!"
They turned back outward, full of energy that was, quite frankly, infectiously full of cheer and good intentions.
"Who's with us?!""Who's with us?!"

Re: [My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic] Bridle Shores, General Town thread 7
Icy winced a little as the two sang on, seemingly on a perpetual sugar rush. "I don't know... I think Sandy would want to be left alone," she spoke up.

Cadmium Red-The Beach
"Well, I don't know this Sandy that way to feel swayed in either direction," Cadmium said scratching her chin and not really giving an answer at all.
-
Re: [My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic] Bridle Shores, General Town thread 7
Quaver looked around the beach, at a loss as to what to do now. She could go, but running out on Silk Scarf and Top Hat just seemed wrong. Even if she didn't really care about all the brouhaha they were going on about with that bonfire.
Even Icy had walked off, leaving her alone.
Giving up, she just lay down on the sandy shore and watched the lake. Without anything better to do, she began to shuffle sand with her forehooves, creating the early trappings of a sandcastle.

Re: [My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic] Bridle Shores, General Town thread 7
They just could not get an idea off the ground today, could they?
"Well, we can still at least make the bonfire, right!?"
"Who's with us?!"

Re: [My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic] Bridle Shores, General Town thread 7
The beach
"I've been since the start, like I said, it would be a lovely way to begin my short stay here Bridle Shores, a nice big bondfire, and singing, even if it might just be the four or three of us," She looked at the colorful duo before briefly glancing at Quaver who walked off. She shook her head.

"Oh yes, because all of us exist solely to improve your stay in this place." Quaver snarked back. It was like the red pegasus was trying to get under her skin.
"I just wanted to go shopping" She grumbled, reluctantly dragging herself to her hooves and trudging towards the nascient bonfire.

(Cadmium wasn't snarking fyi, I would mention if she was xD)
"Pardon me? That's a lot of nerve you have talking to me in that snarky way," Cadmium furrowed her brows, flabbergasted at the way this mare just spoke to her, unprovoked. "You know what, why don't you just go then if you're going to act this way."

(She has to watch her language around Quaver then :smalltongue:. Particularly when she's not in a good mood.)
"Let's get one thing straight then." She shot back. "I'm not here for you"
"What do you need me to do?" She asked, turning to Silk Scarf and Top Hat and making a determined effort not to look at the red pegasus.

Someplace
A little pink pegasus foal sits on her haunches. In her hooves in a mixed and matched patchwork of a doll. The colors contain faded pastels and dirty grays over a purposely large stitching pattern. . The dress it wears is more rags that clothing. "Stitches, you look terrible. But I do not blame you. Dressing up seems to attract the filth this world radiates. It is a curse bestowed on the pretty by the robins. The robins are behind it all."

"Um, girls. I'm sure Cadmium didn't mean it that way," Icy quickly offered, hoping to defuse the situation.

Night Jewel listened and watched carefully. Although she was originally interested in his technique, the visuals fascinated her. If I'm to keep up with that, my illusion skills are going to need a lot of practice. Well, I know now that I've found a master.
Once the performance was done, she clapped politely. "That was most fantastic! Looks like it takes quite a lot of skill. Thank you very much." Her eyes gleamed. "Say, have you ever had a student before?"

Re: [My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic] Bridle Shores, General Town thread 7
"Now, now, no need to fight..."
Silk Scarf said, agreeing with Icy about this. Come to that, they had never actually told Quaver she had to stay... It just seemed to be what happened naturally.
"Anyway, let's work on finding rocks so we can form a defensive perimiter!"
"It's an important thing, a fire -- a two-way defense is essential!"
-
Re: [My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic] Bridle Shores, General Town thread 7
Cadmium opted for ignoring Quaver and go with a quiet seething for now. She'll probably later just take out her aggression with a nice splatter painting with red as the focused color.
"Right, with a bonfire being so big and all, gotta be able to contain it." She nodded.
-
Re: [My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic] Bridle Shores, General Town thread 7
Quaver opted for ignoring Cadmium, and also going for a quiet haughty seethe, like the bristling of a cat.
Despite her snooty demeanour though, she was no stranger to actual work and the purple earth pony began to scour the beach for rocks ... starting in the opposite direction to Cadmium, naturally.
