| [Wallace was sitting at the bar with a drink clutched in his hand and the coral in the other. After the last week's curse, he wanted to try and relax some. Even though he was not afflicted by the curse itself, a lot of his friends were.]
Hello everyone. I was just wondering if anyone wanted to join me in Bar Homra for a drink? I know these curses can be quite taxing and having a drink in the bar is one way to chill out. I've found some of the drinks here are to be quite exotic and interesting. [Just out of view Milotic was having a drink through a straw of some orange juice. It could have been Pokémon berry juice for all anyone knew.]
So, if anyone wants to join me, I'm at Bar Homra just at the main bar. [He gave a small wave and hoped some of his friends at least would show up.] |

| *When Selphie woke up and she was able to leave her bed, she looked around the house for Rinoa. She wasn't upstairs, or downstairs. That wasn't so unusual. Selphie thought she'd use the SFC to see if Rinoa could bring back those burgers she got the last time Selphie was in a coma. But Rinoa's name wasn't on the list. Selphie knows too well what that means. On the screen, Selphie is still wearing her little yellow pyjamas, curled up on the sofa in the living room she used to share with Rinoa. She blinks, rather forlornly, at the SFC* I don't know when it happened but...Rinoa's gone home. For all her friends here...I thought I'd let you know that I'm from Rinny's homeworld too, but I'm from a place more in the future than from where she was here from. So, I can promise everyone that even though some crazy stuff might happen, Rinoa ends up perfectly safe and really happy, with friends and people who love her.
*Selphie manages a small, weak smile, then promptly switches off her SFC* |

| UGH!How many times is this going to happen to me!? It is absolutely unacceptable! OOOOH![There's some sputtering and growling on the other screen followed by hooves pitter-pattering on the ground. After a beat, however, the voice stops along with the sound of dripping water as Rarity uses her magic to clean herself up. Ugh. She hates it when her mane gets wet!]Ah. That is much better. [And with that the communicator floats up to eye level so Rarity can properly address everyone watching. Surprisingly, her mane looks just as perfectly curled and shining as ever without any sign she had been soaked.
She's back in her room, it seems, after being brought right back to Vatheon in a huge puddle of water just like the first time, and around her are several rolls of fabrics in all shades and styles, scissors and pins and needles all neatly tucked away into appropriate bins, but most importantly for this broadcast are several different pieces of jewelry scattered on the table.]Now, before I was so rudely interrupted, I was just about to announce my new line of custom and hoof made, one of a kind jewelry~! You see, I managed to get my hooves on a few more beautiful gems for my projects, and I must say my newest creations are most exquisite! Now, as you can see I have completed quite a few different styles of earrings and bracelets, but I can also create necklaces, headpieces, rings, and brooches, just to name a few~ For those of you without pierced ears, I do offer clip on versions of all the designs I make! I'm afraid I will not do the piercing myself as it can be, ahem, quite messy. But nevertheless! For a reasonable amount of starfish tokens depending on the style you specify, I shall be more than willing to take down orders as soon as possible! Beauty should be priceless, but not worth an arm and a hoof~ Let me know if you are interested! There is no task Rarity cannot do~! [~*~*~BEAM~*~*~] |

| [When the feed turns on, Washu can be seen adjusting the filter on a rather large, 55 gallon tank complete with stand and what looks like rocks and fake coral inside. Swimming around in the tank are several familiar fish. All of them prizes from the previous festival.
After a few moments she steps back and wipes her hands on her shorts to get a good look at the tank. A few minutes later she absently taps something at the computer keyboard that appears at her finger tips and a canister drops out of thin air into her waiting hands. On the canister is a simple image of a fish eating fish food. Washu opens the can and sprinkles some of the flake food into the tank and smiles as she watches the fish go into a mini feeding frenzy.
Once she finishes that the food canister vanishes and she turns away only to pause as she sees her communicator recording.]
It looks like this little device decided to share my new tank with the rest of the bubble. Well, what do you think~? It's not as big as I would like but considering the inhabitants, I think I can get over my disappointment.

| *First thing on the screen is a black and white cat, whose fur resembles a tuxedo. On his head is what would be a daisy chain, only it's made of pink carnations instead. The cat sniffs at the screen, bumping it with his nose, then reaches even closer to give it a lick with his tongue. There's a giggling, that certainly isn't the cat! Selphie's face appears close to the screen, next to the cat, wearing her own crown of pink flowers* Hi Vatheon!~ *Selphie scoops the cat up in her arms, and he looks more than happy to have the attention* Moses and I just wanted to tell you that your local flower shop is back in business! The seeds and seedlings needed lots of care after the flooding but... they've beaten the odds! Aya, the owner, is still in his coma... I think... but I'll be more than happy to help as best I can!~ *When she moves back from her SFC, Selphie reveals a table full of cupcake decorated with little flowers on* Come along and have some cake to celebrate the reopening!~ Hope to see you soon, Vatheon! |

| [The Flower Arrangement Contest has begun! Aya is filming the few contestants they have who are diligently working on an arrangement. Some look relaxed and confident, most look haggard and frustrated because it's harder than it seems! Prizes are on the line, along with Starfish Coins!]
[Aya sets the camera on top of the register, turning it so the lens is now facing him.]We've officially started our contest, and even those who haven't signed up before today can still walk in and participate. Points will be given on two factors: meaning of arrangement and design. Good luck to anyone who participates. [At the end, he fumbles with getting the communicator to turn off, but manages to do so with some dignity left.]
[The rules are posted in a couple of places inside the flower shop, while a guide on flower arranging is handed out to anyone that wants one:
Rules 1. No magic may be used. 2. Real flowers will only be used. 3. Contestants may bring their own supplies, but will not be able to use their own flowers. 4. There will be a time limit of one hour two hours. No more, no less. 5. Contestants will work individually.

| [There's a few long moments of staticky silence, then Mituna's voice - quiet, but still with that trademark horrendous lisp. He didn't lose that this week, clearly.]
Tho.. my matethprit ith gone, I gueth.
[A long pause follows this announcement, then he continues.]
I don't want to change back. |

| [ Devit is looking PARTICULARLY smug today as he flips on his SFC. ]
Greetings oh people of the fishbowl. I'm proud to tell you that that the plaza just got a whole lot more awesome.
[ He pans over a little to reveal... what appears to be a big ol marble statue of himself in the plaza, pointing dramatically into the distance. It was all courtesy of his 'Materialize' ability, which allowed him to make anything that he imagined really really hard into reality. Though normally he couldn't do it without his twin brother around... unfortunately he seems to have lost all memory of him when he realized he could use materialize. ]
Your welcome Vatheon.
[ Don't worry Vatheon, Materialize isn't permanent. The 'awesome' will fade away soon enough. ]

| [Aya is standing outside his home in Corral Coral as he films this. One can tell that he's not especially adept at filming himself since the camera is all tilted.]We've recently announced that we were having a flower competition at Kittens in the House, but haven't announced a date. We'll be having our competition in three days. However, before that time, the flower shop will have reduced hours. It will open from nine in the morning until one in the afternoon. We'll have normal hours after the competition. So far, we have only a few entries, and would like at least a couple more. I'll remind everyone that the prize will be gardening supplies and one hundred Starfish Tokens. The rules for the competition are available at our shop. [Because it'll be easier to lure in potential customers that way, instead of giving the information right here.]
(ooc: feel free to have action threads if anyone is stopping by the shop!) |

| [For those familiar with Dirk, they might notice something unusual about him today- for all that he usually wears shirts decorated with hats, he hasn't ever been a fan of wearing them. Until now, apparently, considering he's wearing one right now. It goes a long way toward making him look like Bro Strider, which is impressive, since they already look like clones.
It doesn't seem like he's about to talk about that, though.]
I have to say, I'm impressed by the amount of whining we've gotten for a simple curse like this. Jesus shit, it's a minor one, calm your tits and deal.
