"Lickity's got the jist of things," answers Pine Needles, "There's a couple of rules and conditions but it's going to easily be worth it to bring the mail back to Hushbrook!" Fortunately for Lickity, the place hasn't magically rearranged itself over the last few years, so he easily finds the closet where cleaning equipment is kept. Unfortunately, the inside is absolutely covered in spider webs...

Lickity mutters "Blegh" as he magics the broom out of the closet and spins it, trying to get some of the webs off the thing.

Ramsus Wed Jun 04, 2014 12:57 am

"Ah ok. Well, I'm happy to help. Guess I just won't be quitting my day job." Chance replies.

Copper Rose Wed Jun 04, 2014 1:52 am

"I guess I can organize the mail as it comes in, if that's not the job you would do. I don't really know much about being a mailpony..."

You do that just that....

"Maybe not now, but when we get going who knows."

"We don't have much to do today. Just clean up the place and deliver some old mail. Oh, and tell everypony that the post office is open for business! But I know you won't be up for that one."

"This sounds like a job for.... Chance!" Chance says mirthfully in response to Needles' response to Starsong as she stands upright and tosses her hair back like a superhero.

Lickity Split starts sweeping and says, "I'd like to help clean up here. With all of us we'll get it done, lic-" and coughs violently at the dust he's kicking up. He stops sweeping and takes a moment to ready himself before saying, "Ahem! Sorry about that! Lightning quick. We'll get it done lightning quick."

Copper Rose Thu Jun 05, 2014 8:50 am

Starsong giggles at Chance and Lickity, then decides to use her wings to blow the dust being thrown into the air out of the building, where it won't make them choke.

Paper Shadow Thu Jun 05, 2014 1:11 pm

Pine Needles gives an excited grin. "Thanks guys, I knew you'd be just as excited as I am!"

Ramsus Thu Jun 05, 2014 1:13 pm

Chance smiles at Needles and asks, "Ok, so where's the old mail?"

Paper Shadow Thu Jun 05, 2014 2:33 pm

Pine Needles pulls out an old but sturdy sack from under the counter and places it on top. It's a pretty big sack, requiring to be rested on a ponies' back to be carried when full, but it's only a quarter full so it shouldn't be heavy...

Ramsus Thu Jun 05, 2014 2:39 pm

Chance goes through the stack and notes the addresses and then puts the mail back in the sack before picking it up and walking back to the door. "Well, I guess I'll see you guys back here later!"

quietkal Thu Jun 05, 2014 3:08 pm

The now-no-longer-former postpony stops sweeping to look at the bag of leftover mail and absentmindedly says, "Could swear I didn't leave that much leftover," before resuming the cleaning process.

Paper Shadow Sat Jun 07, 2014 3:04 pm

"You didn't. They've been keeping some mail for Hushbrook down in the post office at the Jol Plaza."

The first stop is for Chance is an elderly mare called Joy Cookie. She makes cookies for those who ask, enjoy hosting tea parties, and somehow always surprises ponies with stories from her past that are related to an ongoing conversation. It is generally undecided if these stories are true or not...

Ramsus Sun Jun 08, 2014 2:03 pm

Chance pulls out any mail for Joy, if there was any, and knocks on the door.

Paper Shadow Tue Jun 10, 2014 1:01 am

You do indeed pull out a letter and knock. Soon an old mare answers. "Hello dear," greets Joy Cookie, a light brown earth pony with a grey mane...

Ramsus Tue Jun 10, 2014 1:03 am

"Hello Joy! Got some mail for you. Cuz that's a thing we're doing now again apparently!" Chance says in a chipper voice.

Copper Rose Tue Jun 10, 2014 6:50 pm

Starsong looks at Needles. "So what else is there to do?"

"Ooh, that's nice dear. Why's that?"

Copper Rose wrote:Starsong looks at Needles. "So what else is there to do?"

"Cleaning for the most part. Maybe Lickity can give us a tour of the place too?"

Ramsus Wed Jun 11, 2014 2:38 pm

"Deer? I have a name you know." Chance says followed by a light laugh. "I can't say for sure. You'd have to ask Pine Needles about it. Maybe you'll have more luck than I did. All I really know is that he asked for my help and so that's what I'm doing. And it gives me a good excuse to see all you ponies outside of the Twin's anyhow so that's alright by me."

quietkal Wed Jun 11, 2014 9:40 pm

"Huh?" Lickity pokes his head out from the cloud of dust he'd been rapidly sweeping up, before stepping out entirely, his coat and mane greyed somewhat. "Oh. Oh! Sure! Place is kinda small, but that just means less to cover."

"Oooh, that's wonderful. Did I ever tell you the time me and my friends helped run a rundown service?"

"Yeah! Let's do it! Gooooooo... hmm, we should give ourselves a name. Let's wait for Chance to return before doing that."

Ramsus Fri Jun 13, 2014 2:18 pm

"No, really?" Chance replies attentively waiting to hear the tale.

Paper Shadow Sat Jun 14, 2014 2:51 am

"Oh yes. We helped bring a unused library back to its formal glory. Oooh, it was good fun. We would hold book fairs twice every year, and whenever I'd see a foal's eyes light up when they were in the middle of a good book I couldn't help but smile."

Ramsus Sat Jun 14, 2014 2:57 am

"Well now that does sound like a good time!" Chance says and then realizes she's been standing around for a bit. "Well, I'd love to stick around and chat some more, but I should probably try and get the rest of these delivered before it gets dark." Chance says with a light laugh.
