>You wake slowly, slumping yourself to a seated position after several previously failed attempts to start the morning.
>Rubbing your eyes, you groggily clamber to your hooves
>What day is-
>Oh yeah. Weekend. Not that it matters much to you, but Amy should at least be home.
>You notice a smell wafting in through the door.
>Coffee. Yup, Amy’s up.
>You slowly blink, eyelids moving independently of one another.
>How do you start your day?

>>29710115
Let's get some coffee and say hi to our favorite roommate.

>>29710115
Ask if we can get a share of the coffee, and figure out what we're going to do with Octavia and the band thingy.

>>29710115
>Coffee.
>How do you start your day?
Coffee.

“Mmmbbreeeee...”
>”Oh, Mornin’ Lyra. I’m surprised you’re up this early.”
“Coffee...”
>”Figured.”
>Amy chuckles and points to the far counter, not looking up from her paper. “Over there. Still have some hot in the pot, I think.”
“Mmmm...”
>You shuffle to the counter, bumping against a few oddends you forgot to pick up. Thankfully you didn’t trip on anything.
>Coffee~
>You feel much more awake after snarfing down a mug.
“Mornin’ Amy.”
>”So, still soul searching?”
“huh?”
>”You said last night that you were feeling frustrated at things.”
“Oh...”
>Amethyst sighs and looks up from her game. “Lyra, you can’t run and hide from every problem that comes up.”
“But I don’t know what to dooooooo”
>”Ly. Just, you know, talk? You can talk, right?”
>She smiles and nudges you, but you feel a twinge of annoyance.
>”Oh come on. You know, having a good conversation can work out wonders. Trust me on this.”
>With a shuffle of paper, Amy goes back to her game.
>Uggggh. But you hate dealing with problems….

>>29710319
Bleh, alright, you win.

I thought that Bonbon was my special somepony, but when I invited Vinyl and Tavi on a double date to a music thing, now I think I like Tavi, and, like, it's weird now and I don't know what to do.

>>29710111
Shit I just realised that I am not actually caught up.

“Okay, fine, you win. Blegh. So I thought that Bonbon was my special somepony, but when I invited Vinyl and Tavi on a double date to a music thing, now I think I like Tavi, and, like, it's weird now and I don't know what to do and auuuugh...”
>”Interesting. And this was that thing last week, right?”
>You nod, resting your head on your hooves.
>”Hmm… Well, yeah. Looks like you still have to do some sorting to do.”
>You frown.
“That’s it? That’s your advice?”
>”Well, if you want my honest opinion, it’s that you should sit down with this Octavia and find out where the two of you stand.”
>You whine, scrunching your nose.
>”Yep, and that’s why I didn’t say it. You’re pouting. Go do something productive and get a game plan going.” She chuckles and nods to her writing desk. “Why do you think I used to be the best event organizer here? It wasn’t all because I’m just that good, Ly. I write things down. Plan.”
>She puts a hoof on your shoulder. “That might not hurt you either.”

>>29710645
Ugh, you're right, Amy. I should talk to her.

>>29710645
Yeah. If the relationship is anything like what the OP said, we should straighten things out and see where we stand.

>You sigh again, accepting defeat.
>Maybe you’ll give this a go. It’ll probably suck, but at least you’ll know, right?
“Ugh, you’re right, Amy. I should talk to her…”
>”That’s the spirit!” Amy says with a grin. “Just go talk. Work things out. Trust me, it’ll be worth it.”
>Actually getting the courage to face the issue, though, takes a little longer.
>Eventually, you muster the strength to go talk to Tavi.
>Once you show up at the school, you feel a cold pinch in your chest
>You realize that you haven’t really spoken to Tavi much since you two went on that impromptu date after everything blew up in your face
>And after you held hooves…
>You grimace as you take a steeling breath. Here goes.
>”Yes, come in… I- Oh.”
>The air feels thick and awkward
>Or maybe that’s just you.
>”I must admit I am slightly perplexed to see you here, miss Heartstrings.”
>Ouch. You almost wanna cry for some weird reason, but you press on awkwardly.
“Y-yeah. Sorry about not talking to you sooner, man. It’s jus-”
>”Just what?”
“I-i...”
>Octavia raises one eyebrow at you and you feel paralyzed. Scrambling for something to say, you respond with the first thought that comes into your mind.

((last for the night. Thanks for playing! I should be able to pick up tomorrow.))

>>29711407
I wanna talk to you about dating!

>>29711407

((Well, another night of no-go. I had a thing that took way longer than I thought.Hopefully I'll get to run a real session tomorrow. Anyway, only one of the night.))

>You wiggle slowly in place, fidgeting as you explain yourself to Octavia.
“Well... the other night was really nice, and I was wondering if you'd possibly want to try, you know, going out, but on purpose this time. O-or more generally, if you're even looking for that kind of friend right now.”
>Octavia blinks, going quiet for a moment. “Oh. Is… is that how you feel?”
>You nod, biting your lip. The way Octavia hangs on the moment kills you, and it feels like forever before she responds.
>”You’re still not entirely forgiven yet for deserting me last week...” Octavia’s face softens, and she sighs slowly. “But… I would like that.”
>Your heart skips a beat yet, you wince inside at still being on Octavia’s naughty list.
>It’s a weird feeling.
>Not an entirely bad feel though.
“You… really?”
>Octavia winks coyly, spinning around and resuming her work. “I’ll be expecting you at our next appointment, miss Heartstrings.”
>Do what now?
>Oh. OH. Brain, say something!
“Uuahuhye..”
>Octavia chuckles, flicking her mane with her head. “Six o’ clock sharp by the west entrance to the school tomorrow night. Dress formal.”
>You… did you just land a date?

>>29725193
O-okay, I'll see you there.

Gotta find a dress now. Do we have anything nice that's also clean?

“O-okay, I'll see you there.”
>Octavia nods, still immersed in her work. Well, that or she’s avoiding your gaze or something.
>”Good. See you there. Don’t be tardy!”
>You bid Octavia goodbye and float out of the school.
>Did she… did you… you got a date!
>A date with a beautiful mare! A beautiful, kinda stern, headstrong mare! You do a happy dance, squeeing loudly.
>As the euphoria fades, you realize some things. Oh crap. What will you wear!? Can girls date other girls?
>Some of your friends do, and nobody cares. You’re sure some of Twilight’s hit squad do too.
>Rushing home, you flip through your laundry for something decent and clean.
>You find your black dress that you wore during your last concert. Eww, it smells like your last concert, too.
>You find a few other dresses. It’s not like you have a huge wardrobe. Too expensive.
>It’s more fun going naked anyway. Well, most of the time. You enjoy a good hoodie every now and then.
>You can wash the dress later, whichever one you choose. Black dress, purple cabaret dress, or other black dress, it matters little.
>”What’s got you frizzled?” Amy asks, popping her head around the corner.
“I have a date and I don’t know what to wear cuz she said I need something formal but all my chiz is dirty but like I can wash these later still I just aaaaaaaaa”
>”Wow, congrats, Lyra!”
>Amy pats you on the head. Not to bug you, but, you have any big plans for the rest of the day?”

>>29731356
Is Amy one of those roomates we can borrow a dress from, or did we already loose that privilege?

Maybe we know someone else to borrow a dress from. Maybe someone we need an excuse to talk to, like a potential band member.

>>29731356
We still dont have a dress. Last time we borrowd Ammys and I don't think she appreciated the condition we returned it in.

>>29731356
Other than planning what to wear for tomorrow no. I don't think so.

>You think for a moment before shaking your head.
“Nah, I don’t think so. Hey Amy, could I bo-”
>You catch yourself before you finish the question, remembering the last time you asked to borrow a dress from Amy.
>Yeah, that didn’t go well. Well, it did, but the way you returned it didn’t win you any favours with your roomie.
>At least you learned that those kinds of dresses don’t store well in backpacks. Oh well.
>”Huh?”
“Oh, nothing.” You don’t think Amy would be willing to let you borrow her dress again. That right probably went out the window a while ago.
>”Oh. Well, I asked because I wanted to know if you wanted to do your vision boards toniiiight!”
>the way Amy trilled her voice as she mentioned ‘vision boards’ made you cringe. Amethyst and her planners.
“Uuhh...”
>”Oh come on, you can’t keep dodging them foreeveeeer!”
“But they’re so...”
>”Wonderful?”
“I was gonna say complicated.”
>”They don’t have to be! You can put whatever you want on them, really.”
“Whatever I want?”
>”...Why are you grinning like that?”
>Well, you still don’t have a dress – not yet, anyway. You could always wash one and let it dry for tomorrow, or see if you can beef one from a potential band member.
>You also have an opportunity to do vision boards with Amy, though you still have a hard time thinking of anything serious for those silly things.
>You kind of want to see Octavia again, and the thought of your conversation gives you a goofy smile.

((Last one for the night. I'll try to start earlier tomorrow if possible. Anyway, later!))

>>29731807
Amy looks so psychotically happy, how can we say no to that? Seriously, I don't think it's a good idea to say no to that.

>>29731807

I'm curious as to what a vision board is. Maybe we should try them again. They can't be that bad, right?

“Uhm… okay?”
>”Okay what? Wait, you want to make a vision board?”
>Amy’s smile grows wider, somehow.
“...Yes?”
>”Perfect!”
>A minute later, you find yourself seated in the living room with Amy, a couple of cork boards and various scrapbooking material surrounding the two of you.
>”So, vision board. How do you see yourself five years from now? One year?”
>Oh, so it’s a planning thing.
“Well, uh...”
>”How about this.” Amy sets a marker in front of you. “Think of something you see yourself doing.”
>You pick up the marker and waggle your eyebrows.
>”SomeTHING, Lyra. Dork.” Amy chuckles and rolls her eyes. “Seriously now. Can you think of one thing?”

>Honestly, these were somewhat all fun for you. You don’t know if you’d be able to do half this stuff, but they seem like good things to write.
>”Tell me though: what’s that a drawing of?”
“Oh! It’s me. On a moving car, with tons of amps and a guitar that shoots fire. No biggie.”
>”Neat. This a part of one of your goals?”
“I… I guess so? It’s probably under the ‘really hot’ goal. I mean, that’s pretty hot, don’t you think? A mare with a flaming guitar surrounded by amps on a car? I’d hit her whammy bar and make harmonics in forte, if ya know what I mean.”
>”Not really, no.”
>Well, you have yourself a drawing. Amy puts it on the corkboard, your first entry on your vision board! Woot!
>”Alrighy, now what else do you want to put on your board?”

We'll see how it goes.

Anyway, later! Thanks for playing!))

>>29743603
I think that's all the planning we can handle for now. I feel like we should sincerely thank Amy though. I know how frustrating us Lyra types can be to Amy types, and it's cool of her to help us and keep her cool. Maybe we can get a sitcom awww out of it.

Let's focus on our outfit next. Octavia didn't just say wear something nice, she said dress formally, that's pretty serious. What does that even mean exactly? ...should we wear a tuxedo?

“You can pin me down anytime~” you say with a wink, giggling madly and booping Amy on the snoot.
>”Ugh, you know what I mean you loser,” Amy says, shaking her head and chuckling.
“Oh Amy, you know where I can find a dress? Tavi said I need to “dress formally” and that’s got me scared it’s gonna be some big to-do. I, uh, don’t think I have anything that formal anymore.”

>Your soccer mom hat pops to mind for some reason, along with a funny mental image of you taking Octavia on a date while wearing it. You giggle at the though, earning a questioning glance from Amy.
>”You okay there? And, uh, depends. Still, I’d check with Rarity. There are a few other small clothing shops if you want something pre-made though. Just depends on what look you wanna go for.”

>>29754681
Let's check our purse

>You pull your purse out of your mane and look inside.
>Oh hey, bits! You have money.
>Do you want to spend said money, or save?
>You would probably have enough for Rarity if you were just renting. Then again, you might not have much left.
>Maybe you could see your bro Spike there.
>...Well, you think of him as a bro anyway. You used to be friends before Twilight was a butt and ditched you.
>You never even appeared in the flashbacks, either.
>Screw Twilight.
>...You wonder what that would be like literally.
>Eh, you'll pass.
>What now Captain?

>>29754961
Let's rent a pretty dress from Rarara

Sorry for the short session, but Imma call it for the night.
See ya tomorrow! Thanks for playing!

>>29754988

What if we made our own dress instead?

>>29755105
In a day? That might be kinda rough.

>>29755111

Maybe we could ask Rarity first and see what she thinks.

>>29754961
Go play in the public for some bits? Let's grab some sheet music and a stand for some hard core melodies.

>>29755176

>>29754961
Meh, black dresses are fornal right? What if we get ours laundered, or spruced up a little even. Lets ask rarity what she thinks, if she can add a ...I don't know...pleat or something.

Lets get away from nine.

>>29757688
Seven get behind thee

Look out for page 10

Looks like mint is taking his time.

>Wait. You’d have to make the dress in a day. That might be kind of rough.
>Meh.
>Wait, black dresses are formal right? What if you get yours laundered, or spruced up a little even?
>That would require… bits.
>You sigh and grab your lyre. Time to make some dosh.
>You play in the park for about two hours, earning a hoofull of bits. Not bad.
>Time to visit Spike’s sugar mama!
>You so wish you could actually call her that. You used to tease Spike about that years ago back when you were closer, and every time you see Rarity you can’t help but remember the sugar mama jokes.
>Anyway, time to ask rarity what she thinks, if she can add a ...you don't know...pleat or something to your black rehearsal dress.
>”Hello, and welcome to carousel boutique! How may I assist you?” You hear as you enter the circley tent thing Rarity keeps shop in.
“Sup Rarity.”
>”Ooh, are you here for another mend to the rehearsal dress?”
“What? I… oh, nah, not really,” you say with a chuckle. “I was actually kind of wondering If you could… spruce it up or something.”
>Rarity mock scoffs, taking the fabric in her magical grip. “Can I. Honestly darling, I’ve wanted to redo this dress every single time I see it! Of course!”
>Sewing equipment springs out of friggin nowhere, scaring you a bit as Rarity sings to herself and starts planning out loud.
>”So, may I ask why you’ve decided to update this? Mind you, I’m ecstatic I’m finally getting ahold of this. Big show planned?”
“Eh, not so much… It’s for more of a, uh, social thing. Like it needs to be legit ‘formal wear’ for a date.”
>”ooh, so it’s for a romantic escapade! Pleeeeaase do tell, if you don’t mind me prying.”

Tell her everything especially the part where we're in way over our head and don't know how the hell we're going to pull this off without ruining everything.

Also remember to be a big mare and don't be afraid of the sewing equipment.

“W-well, I kind of have a date with Tavi...”
>”You mean Octavia? The cellist?”
“Yeah...”
>”Oh my. This IS serious...”
>Rarity puts her hoof to her chin in thought. “We need to really RAZZLE this dress, darling. You picked a mare of high tastes, even if she is a a tad, er, strict.”
“So, what do you have in mind?”
>”Well, I have one of a few, dearie. The question is, do you see yourself in sequins? Lace? Frills? Not too many frills, mind you. There’s a certain balance one must achieve. Ooh, perhaps a sash...”
>There’s a few options it seems.
>”So! Long, or short, dear. We’ll start with that.”

>>29765533
I don't know what you're talking about, but yes. We'll do whatever that is.

>>29765533
Wait, how many bits will this cost?

>>29765533
Long lace.

>”Don’t worry about the bits, darling. You have a date to prepare for!! If bits are an issue, then we can work something out. Trust me dear, it’s not a big deal. Ooh, lace it is! Goood call, darling!”
>Fabric whizzes by as the seamstress gets to work, humming to herself as clothing, accessories and fashion tools whirl around yourself and Rarity.
>It’s kind of neat to watch. You like watching ponies get absorbed in their work.
>Time passes, and a new dress takes shape. “How about this, miss Lyra? I do believe it would look rather smashing with a hat or sleeves. What do you think?”

>>29765949
It does look pretty nice

>>29765949
Damn gurl, you good. I like hats.

((Well, Gonna stop here for the night. I'll ask this though, since I feel like this scene may be dragging on a while.
Do you want to stay here and play dressup still, or are you okay with leaving? and are you okay with this dress then?
Anyway, lemme know what you think. Till tomorrow!))

>>29766214
I like the dress as it is, but maybe a little dressing montage to get things going.

I'm gonna have to cancel tonight's session as there's a lot of irl stuff I gotta catch up on.
I'll try to get an update in tonight, but there's probably not gonna be a formal session.
Once again, thanks a lot. I hope you're enjoying this so far hehe. It's fun to run, but getting things ready to move takes a lot of energy heh.
See ya tomorrow?))

>You grin just looking at the dress, feeling giddy inside as you picture going out in it.
“I wanna try it on!”
>Rarity nods, floating the dress over to you, along with a room divider to give you some changing privacy.
>A little pinch here, a button there, and you’re in the dress!
You feel like twirling in it as the camera spins slowly in a circle around you, showing you in every angle…
“What do you think?”

This is pretty amazing. I think it's great, good job.

>>29778130
Nice. How much do I owe you?

>>29778130
Oh gosh. How are we going to afford this? Maybe I can play my lyre when you're going run ways or clothing exhibits or something?

>>29778130
Lyra looks food. She looks really good. We need to avoid any and everything that could possible leave a stain, mark or tear. Ask Rarity how to wash it if it ever get dirty.

>>29778130
She'll bring all the bees to the yard.

>”Oh? Well you need to use warm water, never hot. Wash it by itself so no other colours bleed onto it or it doesn’t bleed onto others, since it’s a darker garment. Hang to dry, iron over a hot towel to dewrinkle. Honestly, it’s not too hard to manage, darling.”
“Thanks! And, uh, how much is this gonna cost?”
>”Ah. Well, since you had a nice base to work with it won’t be as expensive. I would put the price at… 120 bits. ...Don’t worry about the cost though! If you don’t have that on you right now, we can work something out, darling. Trust me, I won’t let money get in the way of WOWING your date. Though, um, if you did procure payment today that would be lovely as well.”

>>29778580
How about paying 10 bits a week? I think we can make that but we'll very slowly pay you. We should make more money then that though.

((Well, callin it for the night. Too tired to make a good update heh.

Question for y'all.
I'm moving more stuff tonight, so if I run it'll be a one and done event. Again.

Do you guys want to still play, or would it be better for everyone to take a hiatus till I'm done moving? That, or are ya okay with like one-post days for a while? At least then there would be some movement, albeit slow. It's your call.

Lemme know what you think! And thanks for playing so far. You guys rock.

>>29787058
Post being made is always better then when posts aren't being made. What the real question is "is that how you want to use your free time?"

>>29787069
True!
And this is a fun hobby for me, so I'll keep doing it. But yeah, gonna be slow going for a few days at least. Moving takes a lot of time heh.
Also, there may or may not be a post tonight, depending since I still have stuff to do. Maybe there will be a morning post.
Anyway, no formal session tonight. Hate to do this, but I have limited time to run.
Till then!

Have yourselves a good night.

>Rarity clicks in thought. “Hmm… well, that doesn’t sound too bad. You ould always increase payments too if you wanted. It would be quicker to settle the account that way. Anyway...!”
>Rarity levitates a piece of parchment and a quill over and scribbles a few notes.
>”Just… setting… up the account for a miss Lyra Heartstrings… and done! Your balance is in the ledger. Just need a down payment of 20 bits, and you can have the dress!”
>You grin and hoof over the money.

>You now have a balance of 100 bits with Rarity.

>Congratulations! You own a refurbished dress! And a cool hat.
>”Anything else I can assist with, darling?”
>You shake your head.
“Nah, I think I’m good, man. Thanks, Rara!”
>”Well take care! Hope the date goes swimmingly! Only good things can come when wearing attire like thaaaat.”
>You thank Rarity again and leave the boutique, bags in magical tow.
>What now, girl? Now that you’ve got the dress, you don’t have many other big plans for the day.
>There’s a few ponies gathered near the town square gazebo thing, and it looks like the mayor’s going on about some updates in building code or whatever.
>Doesn’t apply much to you you think.

>You also feel like ambling around the alleyways, as it’s a rather nice day out.

>>29795515
But alleys are sometimes dirty if you're not careful. I want to check out the mayor's thing, but I'm afraid of grass stains. Everything is a minefield.

>>29795515
Let's try to make some bits at the gazebo.

>>29795515
We should totally get home and drop this dress off.

>>29795515
Check out what's the haps with the building codes. But be careful of stains!

>>29795515
>>29795998
This anon. We need to keep it clean. Then we can do whatever.

Can we visit that cool bug Vellum in the Everfree? We might be able to help drum up business. Flyers man! We could post flyers everywhere. Maybe give some to people going out of town so then can tell their friends.....maybe he could even spare a few bits?

>Same thing with the gazebo. You feel slightly more broke after leaving Rarity’s, but after giving it some thought, you decide trying to earn bits right now would be not the best idea.
>However, maybe hearing about codes might not be too bad, as long as you watch the heck out for stains.

>”…And that’s why we’re proposing that every business with an occupancy of more than 12 ponies must include one bathroom on the first level.”
>Fun. You wonder how that’ll affect Bon Bon’s candy shoppe. It’s not the biggest area, so there’s no public restroom. None yet, apparently.

>You amble on your way, not caring too much to hear the rest of the mayor’s speech. It was all about bathrooms and “safety zones” for when the town gets leveled again. Bah.
>You stopped caring about decorations after the third reset. Too much work.

“Oh! Yeah...” You mutter to yourself. Vellum!
>You wanna go see the cute bug who owns the pizza place. Maybe you could help him out! Drum up business, perhaps?
>Flyers, man. You could post flyers everywhere.
>That or be one of those sign spinners.
>Anyway, after dropping off your valuables at the pad, you meander over to the edge of the woods behind the other gazebo, into Vellum’s shop.

Uh. There's an artist that did something like that. Lyra x Thunderlane.

>>29815282
Oh well. He's a friend-ish bug guy. Maybe we shouldn't have expected muny for passing out fliers.
Keep kissing.

>>29815282
>doing bad things on a public bench
I don't know if that's a reference or canon now. I'm going to assume the latter until told otherwise.
We'll help pass out fliers if we can get a discount on the pizza when we come back for helping. 20 percent off ok?

>>29815817
>>29815282
No way, we should get a bit for every flyer brought back. If we pass out 500 flyers we can expect a return of at least 5 bits! Actually the peetzer deal might be better. I actually did this once, hopefully ponyville has a better return rate

>>29815817
