Life in Ponyvile V

((For now just assume two, if Rush ever replies back and wants to hop in then just assume he's been following the whole time) She chuckles and follows the surprised Unicorn, noticing a slight blush on his face.

Low walks up to the counter and greets the salespony, "Hello, I was wondering if you have a 65 gauge acoustic bass string for sale?  Preferably T'Rotario, please."  After a brief search, the shop owner places a new string on the counter in a small packet.  Low hands the stallion five bits and asks, "Is it ok if I string it here", to which his answer is a yes.  Moving over to a corner of the shop, Low sets down the soft guitar case gently on the ground and uses his magic to unzip it.  With great care, he retrieves a maple-bodied six string acoustic bass guitar, placing it upright and off to the side.  Upon closer inspecting, the third string from the right appears to be laying slack, a small section of it looking as if someone unwound it.  Low uses his magic to pull out a pair of wire cutters from his case, promptly getting to work restringing his bass.

[TL_Yarr]

She watches with interest "Watcha doin' Cutie?"

[hazardtime]

Eyes intently focused on the string as he threads it through the bridge, Low says, "I was a bit of a putz this morning and snapped my D string.  It's always the D string..."  He cuts off the excess string and secures it to the machine head.  Placing the wire cutters and excess string back into his case, Low cradles the guitar in his hooves as his horn lights up once more, projecting twin, magical blue hands.  His left hand goes to the knob and begins to twist it as his right hand goes to work plucking the string.  Closing his eyes, Low inclines his head, concentrating on the sound as he tunes the new string.

[TL_Yarr]

She keeps watching and pokes the magic hands, having never felt what magic feels like before. "It tingles!" She giggles slightly and pokes it again.

[hazardtime]

Low finishes tuning the string and plucks them one at a time in order.  As a final test, he takes a deep breath and plays a short solo on the string.

[TL_Yarr]

"That's very good!" She compliments happily. 

[hazardtime]

Low Key glances up at her, a bashful look on his face.  "Well, it could use a little work...I mean, I'm still learning how to maneuver around six strings, not mention my hammer-ons and bends need work, but, well, yeah, I guess it was pretty good."  He begins to place his guitar back in its case, zipping it up and slipping it over his neck, "Alright, I guess I should let you two decide where to go next."

// Going to have lunch and run some errands, be right back in an hour or two   

[TL_Yarr]

((Ok )) "How about some lunch?"

[Rush of MLP]

((I'm back.))

[TL_Yarr]

((Great, do you mind if we wait until Hazard comes back? And just act as though you were there the whole time when he/she does.  ))

[Rush of MLP]

((Sure.))

[hazardtime]

// Back

"Sounds nice.  Any place in mind?"

[TL_Yarr]

"Yeah, there's this new place round the corner, if you two wanna try it?"

[Rush of MLP]

Rush had been following the other two aimlessly.

[hazardtime]

Low Key nods, "Sure!  I'll pay for my own meal, if that's ok."

[TL_Yarr]

"Yes that's fine, Rush, do you wanna come with?"

[Rush of MLP]

[Color=gray]"Uh... sure."[/color]

[TL_Yarr]

"Great!"  She gleefully bounces on her hooves, her wings fluttering madly.

[Rush of MLP]

Rush stared for a minute, trying to place how he ended up in this position. He shrugged it off and went to the door, holding it open for the other two.
