Turtle & Canary; Saturday [ 05/17 ]

[stocksgrrl]

Waking up and discovering that she was a pony was quite possibly the coolest thing that had ever happened to Turtle and then what happens? She was to be at work. That was okay, because neither heck nor high water nor, clearly, pony-ness would keep Turtle away from fulfilling her duty, even if it was rather difficult to work the cash register with

Talk to Turtle -- 05/17

And all her pretty ponyness.

Sighing, Turtle lowered her pony head and shook it slightly. "Let's just not talk about the frolicking at the moment, until the frolicking is a bit more immediate."

"O--"

Jeff's hoof hit the side of the counter with a thunk.

"...There's going to be frolicking immediacy talk?"

Re: Talk to Turtle -- 05/17

[stocksgrrl]

Turtle blinked. "There...can be. But not now, because immediacy is currently not an...immediate issue."

"I wouldn't want to rush the immediate," Jeff said, a little nervously, pulled his hoof away from the counter, and said, "I'm not a very immediate... person."

He whinnied. Also nervously. "...Er, meadows, then."

Turtle shifted a little bit nervously herself; her tail barely missed knocking over a shelf of candy bars. "Yup. Meadows."

"I'm going to need to budget for a new floor after today," she said, deftly to change the topic. At least change it until a time when they weren't, you know....ponies.

"Budgeting is... good," Jeff managed, nodding heavily, "...Immediate. Budgeting. Er. I'll go find one and come back."

Pause.

"...A meadow, not an immediate budget, because that would be mad."

"You don't...have to go find a meadow now," Turtle told him, shifting a little nervously in a nervous pony fashion. "I mean, the meadow's not going anywhere. You can stick around for a bit longer..."

Re: Talk to Turtle -- 05/17

[scary_jeff]

"Are you sure?" Jeff blurted, suddenly, in that blurty sort of way. "I mean, it's Fandom, you don't know when a meadow's going to move, you've got to be-- prepared."

Re: Talk to Turtle -- 05/17

[stocksgrrl]

"Well, that's all the more reason for us to wait and find it together, isn't it?" Turtle pointed out. "You could go, find one, and then, by the time we got there, it might have moved."

Re: Talk to Turtle -- 05/17

[scary_jeff]

"Oh," Jeff managed, very slowly, "...Right." And attempted another pony smile, which failed spectacularily. "I suppose it's the immediate budges, then."

Re: Talk to Turtle -- 05/17

Turtle sighed slightly, ducking her head for a moment. Maybe being a pony wasn't quite as nice as she expected, for some things. She moved over to Jeff and gave him a light muzzle-to-muzzle nuzzle. "If we don't find a meadow," she told him, "there's still lots of beaches, and that's a suitable frolicking spot."

Re: Talk to Turtle -- 05/17

[scary_jeff]

Nuzzling was alright. Maybe that meant he hadn't made a complete arse of himself with all the... frolicking.

Jeff attempted a somewhat-clumsy nuzzle back, and in the process regained some of his grin, and said, "Beaches are good. They're very... sand... y."

Re: Talk to Turtle -- 05/17

[stocksgrrl]

Turtle smiled a little. "I don't think sand gets stuck in hooves like it does in shoes, either," she pointed out.

A gawky-looking unicorn-pony trotted into the store, carefully carrying a purse in his mouth.

Walking up to the counter, Zack dropped the purse. "Oh, I was hoping you still had opposable thumbs."

Being a pony hadn't improved his people skills any.

Re: Talk to Turtle -- 05/17

[stocksgrrl]

"Nope, sorry," Turtle looked as apologetic as a pretty pony could. "Currently thumbless, but I have been doing fairly well at adjusting. Still, if whatever you need requires thumbs utterly and completely, Apu still has his."
