The Mane Event (Pinkie Pie & Bob)

[Pinkie Pie]

(OoC: I was thinking Luna would own the place... The Lunar Calendar and all lol~)

Pinkie hadn't been staying at the Hotel Cavalier long, but right when she arrived, she'd met a pony with a hairstyle she absolutely loved--her own! The tall unicorn's name was Bob, and while Pinkie Pie didn't know him well yet--how are you supposed to get to know people if you don't hang out with them? Hanging out is key, crucial, crescential! ... Totally a word! The moon was out but it was essential that Pinkie Pie go get herself a hair cut--and that Bob come with her so they could become friends! It wasn't exactly that Pinkie was anxious to snip her luscious magenta curls; the only pony-serving salon she found in this tiny town, The Lunar Calendar, was just open at night.

"Have you been here before, Bob?" Pinkie Pie inquired of her pink-maned pal, "This place is starting to get spooooooooky!" There was a cobweb above Pinkie's head as she waited in the front parlor, which was lit only by candles and moonlight. Suddenly, an eight-legged terror leaped into her mane, and Pinkie squealed.

With delight! "Hey, ooh, haha, oh, it tickles! Stop, stop, you're tickling!" she laughed, and put a hoof into her forelock, capturing the creature, and setting him free on the floor.

[Bob]

(OOC: I may take Luna at a later date, so..that could work out. c:)

The tall unicorn was curious. First of all, he'd never heard of this Lunar Calendar place, but from the looks of it, he was intrigued to find out just what lay inside. But he wasn't too keen on cutting his messy mane. If there was one thing he was proud of, it was his beautiful mane.

But Dad never agreed to it...

Shaking his head to keep the thought away, Bob nodded in response to Pinkie Pie. "No I haven't, y'all. But I am tryin' to figure out why y'all dragged me down here." Bob said, with a laugh. What caught his attention next wasn't pleasant for him. Pinkie appeared to have run into a cobweb, and now, a small spider was crawling over her forelock, with the pink pony giggling about it.

But Bob wasn't giggling. Instead, the gay unicorn yelped loudly, almost enough to qualify for a scream. He leapt high enough to be perched on the railing of a nearby staircase, and while keeping perfect balance, he pointed with one hoof to the spider of the floor.

"G-Get that spider away from me, y'all, 'fore I crush it!" Bob said, face contorted into a growl.

[Pinkie Pie]

"Huh, spider?" Pinkie Pie giggled at Bob as he teetered atop the stair rail, "Creepy things sure do happen at this time of night, and this place sure does have a lot of cobwebs--but there couldn't be any spiders, here, Bob! Right?" Chuckling some more, Pinkie glanced at the ground to show Bob it was okay, when Pinkie Pie realized exactly what she'd pulled from her mane. "SPIIIIIIDDDDDEEEERRRR!" screamed Pinkie Pie, "GET IT AWAY!" She flipped into the air, landing on the rail opposite Bob, though her nimble hooves were hardly attuned to the balance challenge. Somehow she stayed aright. "Your cunning disguise did not fool me for a second!" she accused the arachnid as it scuttled up the wall next to the door across from the staircase, "You better think twice the next time you try to convince a poor pony you're a harmless little lady bug! What are we going to do, Bob? This place is probably crawling with spiders!" Pinkie Pie paused, contemplating, as she and Bob precariously teetered back and forth, before she corrected herself, "Well, actually, the spiders would really be the ones doing the crawling; I haven't seen many places which actually crawled, unless that one time I made a gingerbread house out of jello at Sugarcube Corner counts. Those walls sort of crawled! Well, I guess technically they wiggled, just like we are! Hey this is kind of precarious. Say, it's kind of fun, isn't it?" Pinkie Pie was about to get down, but, suddenly, she got a better idea. She jumped across the railings so she'd land atop Bob's back, where she righted herself just so they could remain balanced. It was not a position she could hold long, but that did not deter Pinkie Pie from the rest of her musings, now that she had a (literally, if not figuratively) captive audience, "But, wait, that wasn't really a gingerbread house if it was made out of jello, huh? It would have been more like a jellobread house. But there wasn't really any bread in the house either, and it couldn't have been a gingerjello house because the jello was raspberry flavored and that does NOT go well with ginger! Say, what did we come to this hair salon for anyway? It sure is creepy here.

Say, Bob... you don't think there are any spiders around here, do you?"
