The Carousel Boutique [Open]

Rarity stood in the simulation of The Carousel Boutique, recalling the colours and atmosphere of the place. A hologram of Opalescence was sitting on the table, swishing its tail and looking at Rarity.

"Do you think this gem would do, Opalescence?" She levitated a red gem and the cat blinked. "Or this one?" Rarity asked, levitating a blue one. The feline mewed and stretched.

The unicorn smiled and continued to play-work with the pony outfit she was currently pre-occupied with.

Hank takes a look at the sketch and smiles approvingly.

"That looks really good. My friend Janet would have loved to see me in it."

"Frills and feathers?" Applejack made a face. That was definitely not her style, but she was grateful that Rarity seemed to understand that much.

"You'll be the belle of the ball, same as always."

"Thank you, Applejack." Rarity sat down on a chair to relax with her cat. "I'll get down to everyone's outfits. Slowly this time." She gave her friend a small smile.

"Who is she?" Rarity asked, putting the sketch away with the other designs she came up with.

"I guess I can make it navy blue. It's almost as dark as black but not totally black." Rarity muttered as she levitated a colour pencil to give the sketch life.

"Fascinating! That means you don't really have to buy clothes at all. It is a wonderful gift!" Rarity looked at Megan and bounded up to her. "You must allow me to make you a dress for space prom, I insist!"

"Oh, she's a friend from my old world, a very good friend." Hank replies, then frowns a little sadly.

"She did some fashion designing too. I think you two would get along. I hope she's in one of those pods..."

"Fashion design? That is absolutely wonderful! I'm sure she will be in the pods." Rarity smiled warmly at him as Opal nuzzled Hank affectionately.

She may have been a little startled by her appearance but Rarity greeted her friend happily. "Pinkie Pie, it's so good to see you!" The unicorn gave the pink pony a big hug.

Cassie had wandered over to the Sensoriums on a whim, curious to check it out after what she'd heard of the place. She wasn't really sure of what she had expected to see when she arrived, but she'd decided to keep an open mind.

Even with an open mind though, the large colorful building that she saw as she entered was not what she'd expected to see. She stepped inside cautiously and spotted a pretty unicorn standing not too far away, reminding her vaguely of the two other ponies she'd met so far on the ship.

She smiled and spoke up quietly, not wanting to startle the pony. "Hi there. I... I hope that I'm not bothering you."

"And I won't be kicking up a fuss this time," Applejack smiled back, delighted to see the two of them together. In fact...

"Say, where'd you find lil' Opal?"

Rarity looked at her white cat fondly. "You may find this odd and peculiar but I thought of her and she appeared."

(OOC: Are you able to physically touch simulations or would your hand just pass through them?)

Rarity immediately put down her work as she trotted up to the new guest to greet her with a wide smile. "You are not bothering me, I'm almost quite done with my work. Welcome to The Carousel Boutique, my shop and home back where I come from. I'm Rarity, what's your name?" She extended a hoof as a greeting.

Hank smiles back and scratches Opal behind the ears.

"Let's hope so. I think she will be. She's tough, but I still worry."

"Well, I do look good in that," he said, not at all modestly. "The only thing that really matters to me, honestly, is that it not impede my movements too much."

Zouichi blinked. Psychic unicorns, really? "Ah, well. That's still a pretty useful specialty, I guess, on a ship like this. Um... pony dresses?"

"Cute cat, by the way."

"Huh. Like the rest of this Sensory stuff?" Applejack does the same, thinking about...no, not Apple Bloom, that would be too painful. And she doesn't want Rarity to have to worry about Sweetie Belle again either. The best choice is probably Winona, her dear little puppy. She's wagging her tail and flicking her tongue, all smiles...

...on second thought, Winona's presence is a bad idea. Dogs and cats are never a healthy combination. The pup gives a happy little bark and scampers off after Opal.

"Oh---now you quit it!" Applejack scolded, trying to fix her dog with a glare.

((ooc: They're solid as can be! And actually, if you send the mods an email for permission, you can have the real Opal pop and join Rarity at any time. The characters' pets were saved.))

"Then we have to take some measurements." Rarity levitated the measuring tape and it looped around various parts of his body. Quickly, she noted down the length of his limbs and width of his torso on the sketch pad.

"Two layers of clothes... need a bit of room for moving..." She muttered to herself and she added extra length on the measurements taken.

"You probably need to stop by the clothiers in person for some adjustments before I make the final product."

Opalescence mewed, appreciating the compliment and she rubbing up against Zouichi's legs.

"I am learning how to design human outfits at the clothiers. Quite similar to pony clothes making but a little bigger."

Opalescence makes a startled whining meow before running away from the dog. "Opalescence!" Rarity called out for her cat as it climbed up the curtain.

"Winona's not going to hurt you. Please come down."

((OOC: I don't need to create a LJ account for Opal, right? I do recall the Digimon & Pokemon characters having their "pets" along with them without a separate account for the creatures.))

"Winona! You'd best get your little doggie behind right down here and make amends," Applejack scolded, giving a sharp pound of her hoof. She stared at the dog, waiting for her to whimper and bow at her owner's feet.

"Ah--whoops. Forgot. That'd be why I don't bring her here."

((OOC: Nope! You could make an account if you wanted to have extra icons for her, but it's not necessary. I might just mention Winona here and there.))

"I was down there once, actually. I wanted to make sure someone on the ship was able to repair my coat, if necessary."

He thumped the fabric where it hung over his chest. It sounded odd, and moved even more strangely, like liquid metal instead of fabric.

Cassie smiled and took the hoof in her own hand. Given all the things that she'd seen and done, you wouldn't think that it would seem odd to shake a horse's hoof as though it were a hand, but it was. Still, she was not about to be discouraged.

"It's nice to meet you, Rarity," she greeted warmly. "I'm Cassie." Her eyes surveyed the area around her. "This is a pretty place. What did you do before you came here?"

Zouichi smiled, bending down to scratch behind the cat's ears. He had a bit of a soft spot for animals. "Hi, there."

"So, um, did any other ponies arrive here with you? Or are you the only one?"

Rarity looked at the patched up fabric oddly, examining it closely. "What is that made of? It is nothing that I've ever seen."

She then looked at him worriedly. "I hope that doesn't deter you from coming down to do a fitting."
