02 Apple Fritters | Stage 4? | Backdated to 2 or 3 days after the event started

[downtoearthpony]

[With all the supposed fear and panic that the town has tried to recently instill on the residents, such matters actually don't affect a new arrival. Especially one who doesn't watch TV or recieve mail yet. Which is why you'll find someone trotting down the street.

Yes, trotting.

Applejack has decided that if she's stuck here, she might as well be neighborly and introduce herself. So she borrowed her house's kitchen and supplies to make a couple of homemade apple pies. Using years of practice, she keeps them balanced on her back as she moves from house to house, knocking on each door and calling out:]

"Hello? Anypony in there? It's your new neighbor Applejack being friendly and bringing some pie for ya!"

[And no, unless you're a drone who treats her like a dog, or keep her from seeing you in there, she is not leaving until you do answer. Though once answered, she will offer you a nice slice of some delicious smelling apple pie! She'll introduce herself as well, offer to help out if you need it because you're neighbors after all, and she'll also pepper you with questions about the town as she tries to find out more information about Mayfield. She's not being subtle about the questions, but not forceful either, she is genuinely trying to get information in a way she knows how and being sincere in her offers of help and pie.]

((OOC: Applejack is literally going door to door to offer slices of pie and get some answers, as such she's pretty much breathing in massive truth gas. But this is Applejack, who's pretty honest to begin with so it really won't affect her unless she hits Stage 5. So folks who want to respond can just sit back and chat with AJ or try and figure out how to get an orange talking pony off their front porch.))

Well then, Ah guess it's a good thing Ah'm out here making friends, isn't it? So they can help me out if Ah need it. Of course Ah'd help them out too, 'cause that's what friends are for. And before you say Ah can't be of any help, Ah'd like to remind you that facing a dragon or manticore ain't a walk in the park.

I highly doubt any of us are going to encounter either of those things here.

[downtoearthpony.livejournal.com]

Unless you count Spike, that is. Then again, he's just a baby dragon, and he really wouldn't hurt a fly.

But still, if there ain't any of those around, what makes you think Ah'm not prepared to handle it here?

...You didn't see that account fail

...Huh?

The real world isn't full of princesses and rainbows and all that shit.

You're right, I didn't!

[downtoearthpony.livejournal.com]

And what makes we have all that, that life is a cake walk where Ah come from?

Ah work on a farm, you don't think that's some hard work to handle getting up at the crack of dawn and laboring in the fields most of the day?

And Ah'm not the only one who works where Ah come from. Just because Equestria sounds nice to you doesn't make living there any easier. Very few ponies get things handed to them on a silver platter.

Still can't be as shitty as where I'm from!

[downtoearthpony.livejournal.com]

Well, Ah'm not really trying to say it is, just not to go and assume mah friends and Ah are soft or unable to handle things.

[redirections.livejournal.com]

Whatever, then.

[And he slams the door in your face.]

[Applejack is a little surprised at the sudden door slam but merely gives a huff as she turns and walks off to the next house, muttering to herself.]

Well that was a rude way of saying goodbye. Going to have to remember get him out of the doorway next time Ah bring some food or visit.
