Part A | Action | In and around 337 Brady Street[It's early afternoon in Mayfield, and Applejack has been walking around town during the morning, only now just returning to her current residence, and noticing the little red flag on the mailbox sticking up. Always willing to be a helpful mare, she opens it up and carefully pulls the letters out with ( Read more... )

Workhorse? That's no way to talk about yourself, hon.

[ The woman's voice is gently scolding, but the trace accent is marginally similar. ]

Well, Ah would've said 'workpony' but lots of folks here seem to just look at me odd when Ah say stuff like that.

Doesn't change the fact that Ah meant Ah'm hard-working and best at working with mah hooves. And Ah didn't mean it in a bad way either, Ah'm fine with getting dirty and doing hard labor if that's what it takes to get the job done.

Oh! You were being literal! Sorry.

I don't have anything agricultural at the moment, but I'm planning to rework the yard to a garden in the the spring. That doesn't help you right now, but there might be another option.

Have you looked around for any of the restaurants that aren't run by drones?

downtoearthpony August 15 2011, 04:27:14 UTC

Oh, Ah didn't really think about working at a restaurant. Been so use to getting mah hooves dirty on the farm, Ah guess Ah forgot to really consider it.

But um, which ones aren't run by drones? Ah haven't been to all of them yet so Ah don't know which are or aren't.

Doesn't the town usually assign you a job? Though, if you're a woman, I guess not always...

B downtoearthpony August 15 2011, 04:30:41 UTC

Well, for some reason most of the town seems to think Ah'm some sort of dog, so Ah didn't start off with a job.

It's a little weird, to be honest, Ah mean, where Ah come from, ponies keep dogs as pets and here Ah am, being treated as a pet by those drones...

rapier_ex August 15 2011, 15:44:31 UTC

Some... sort of dog?

Wait, you're a pony? Like Rainbow Dash?

downtoearthpony August 17 2011, 07:33:31 UTC

Oh, you know Dash?

...And kinda. Ah mean, we're from the same place and she's a good friend of mine, but she's a pegasus pony while Ah'm an earth pony.

I might be looking to hire a few people later on for a... project...

[He coughs, then changes his tone of voice]

You cook? You bake? Have you been by the bakery? Unless there's a drone boss that I haven't noticed, it's all actual people making dough.

It's a pun!

B downtoearthpony August 17 2011, 07:38:02 UTC

[Applejack is just letting that pun go by with mild amusement, she's heard worse, really.]

Well Ah'm still a little new to town so Ah haven't had a chance to check the bakeries or such, but Ah'll give them a look see tomorrow, thanks.

And if you need help with that project of yours, just let me know when and Ah'll come and see if there's anything Ah can do to help out.

B doofenstrudel August 17 2011, 17:07:16 UTC

I work there. Well, the town seemed to assign me there and... it's not so bad of a job.

[Haha! He might have a prospective employee for the Mayfield HQ of his company! Might. He'll have to play this right.]

We can talk. See what we can do for each other. That sort of thing.

Well sounds like a plan then! What's the address and when would it be a good time for me to stop by to see what Ah can do?
