Re: Ponyville Business District - Sugarcube Corner
-Pinkie Pie begins Day 2~!-
Ava and Atom were greeted at the door of Sugarcube Corner by a cheery ring of the bell mounted overhead, chiming out as the door swung into it. However, the shop was rather quiet. No doubt the Cakes were still asleep given the late night before. But as for Pinkie Pie, they'd come across the party pony herself soon enough. She appeared up at the top of the stairs... and, well... she looked horrible. The Earth Pony appeared as an absolute wreck -- eyes scrunched up and bearing heavy bags beneath them, her coat mussed and mane disheveled to the point of being gnarled. She wobbled about unsteadily on her hooves and slowly tilted forward until she pitched down the stairs, slamming her face down onto the first step with a dull 'clunk!'. From there her rear end swung over from the momentum, slowly arching her over backward to plop down on the next step rump-first with a 'whud!' Then she pitched forward again, landing on her head on the third step down...
Clunk!
Whud!
Clunk!
Whud!
Clunk!Whud!Clunk!Whud!Clunk!Whud!CLUNK!
Well, she actually did a very good impression of a slinky.
One might have worried for Pinkie's health as she ended up slamming down on the floor face-down, her mane frizzled out all over and body limp like a rag doll. But before any alarm could be raised, her hind legs shakily stiffened and got up, lifting her rear in the air as they began to walk, puttering her along slowly with her face dragging across the wooden floor with a sound like a squeegee being pulled over a window. The mare vanished around behind the counter and remained out of sight for a long moment before one hoof slowly arched up, snagging itself on the edge. It was followed by its twin and Pinkie slowly, achingly hoisted herself up to slump atop the counter itself, dangling off it weakly. Even though her head remained flat down like before, her limbs moved seemingly of their own accord as she produced a blender from beneath the counter and a box labeled 'Hair of Dog'. Without looking she began blindly taking items out of the box and pouring them into the blender cup -- either she had whatever she was concocting memorized by touch and reflex or was just randomly tossing junk in.
Coffee grounds, some suspicious looking leaves, peppermint twists, a whole egg shell and all, half a bottle of hot sauce, and about a dozen other ingredients were mixed into the batch. She even pulled out a small metal flask and poured its contents in, showing that she had a serving of liquid rainbow stowed away. With the cap set onto the blender and it whirring away on 'frappe', the whole mix turned into a gross-looking blend of smooth purple and green goo that reeked terribly. Despite the noxious odor, Pinkie Pie drew the cup off the blender base and pitched it back, downing the whole thing in a string of loud, heavy gulps until it was completely emptied down her throat. She plunked the empty blender cup down and belched noisily, smacked her lips, and promptly keeled back over onto the floor. Pinkie was down for only a split-second though -- as soon as she hit the ground she literally bounced back up like she was made of rubber, suddenly all bright-eyed and bushy tailed as if she'd not spent the entire previous evening partying until everypony around her dropped. She looked good as new... even her mane had somehow untangled itself!
"Good morning~!" Pinkie Pie chirped giddily, smiling a big toothy grin to Ava and Atom.
