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.

"Three other ponies are here. There's the orange pony Applejack, the pink fun-loving Pinkie Pie and the pegasus-unicorn pony Princess Celestia." Rarity smiled fondly, content that she was not alone and her friends were here.

"What about you? Are you alone?"

"It's nice to meet you Cassie. I used to be a fashion designer for ponies. I'm still designing on the ship, just for a different group of clientele as you can see."

Rarity levitated some of her designs for Cassie to see.

"It's alright, Applejack." Rarity replied earnestly as she coaxed the white cat down. Opalescence did detach herself from the fabic and jumped on Rarity's back for safety.

"Ah. I... don't think I've met any of them yet, but they sound very colorful. You have a princess?" What did pony princesses even do?

"No, my partner was also brought aboard the ship. But we appear to be the only people from our world so far."

"I'd be lying if I said I knew exactly." Morgan prodded the material, letting it wave heavily once more. It certainly didn't seem to be a lightweight garment. "It was made through science so advanced it's basically magic. Some metal alloy that's as durable as armor but as flexible as cloth. It even has a pocket dimension inside it. I paid through the nose for it, but it was worth it."

He shrugged the coat off, both to give her implicit permission to examine it and to make the upper-body measurements easier to take. "Of course I'll come! I have to look my best for the company I'll be in, after all."

Megan blinked wide, a little surprised. She hadn't really been thinking of going to space prom at all but if Rarity really wanted to make her a dress...

"Are you sure? That would be awfully nice of you."

"A fashion designer for ponies?" Did... ponies need a fashion designer? It just seemed kind of strange to her, even if the ponies that she'd met around here were clearly very different from the ponies and horses that she'd known at home.

Cassie stared at the outfits. They weren't really to her taste, but then again, her taste was a pair of jeans that may or may not fit and a tee shirt or long sleeved shirt when it got colder out, so... what did she know about fashion? It had never been terribly important to her.

The way that Rarity showed off the clothing though was rather impressive though. Floating clothing was not something that she saw every day... or ever.

"They're pretty from what I can see, but I also don't know very much about this kind of stuff," she admitted with a smile and a shrug. "Do you enjoy making clothing?"

The order almost worked. Winona paused for a moment, but soon resumed her happy and hopeful stare up at Opal.

"Now now, don't you get all excited. Opal's a friend, not some stray sheep you need to bring along!" Surprisingly, the puppy almost listened. She curled up at Applejack's feet.

"Whew. So now we've got ourselves a truce. Everything going alright 'round here, Rarity, or is there anything I can lend a hoof with?"

"Rarity, did you hear? We're gonna go find the Home and tell them to give Equestria back!" Pinkie blurted out, already going a mile a minute. "Wow! Did you get it to do this all by yourself? It's like I'm really here at your boutique!"

Rarity nodded. "I am very sure. Everyone deserves something nice to wear." She was on the verge of levitating her sketch pad and the measuring tape.

Rarity poked and prodded the material, fascinated by its properties. "This is a really unusual material. Is it found naturally in your world?"

"Yes, we have a princess who rules over the whole kingdom of Equestria. She raises the sun and moon everyday with her sister."

Rarity was getting accustomed to the questions asked and she was eager to share the knowledge of the country to anyone who was curious about it.

((OOC: Does partner mean girlfriend partner or sidekick partner?))

"She's powerful enough to change the orbit of the planet?" What the heck kind of world was this?

"Wait, why does she need to do that? Does your planet not rotate quickly enough on its axis?"

[She's like a combination sister or law enforcement partner.]

It was quite heavy -- it was a form of metal, after all. But it moved absolutely fluidly.

Morgan shook his head. "The Scientist --" the capital S was very clear -- "who created it was unbelievably skilled in manipulating matter. This might be the only material like it in existence."

"Interesting. What is the name of this material?" Rarity poked it cautiously as the material moved slightly.

Rarity tilted her head, puzzled by the word. "Orbit? What is that? All I know is that she uses her magic, flies up into the air and the sun rises as she does so. You can ask her for more information if you're curious."

Rarity nodded enthusiastically. "I have been making clothes ever since I was a little filly. I breathe and live fashion designing."

The unicorn smiled at Cassie. "Is there anything I can help you with?"

"I.... don't know!" Morgan was honestly surprised he'd never thought to ask. Of course, in hindsight it seemed an obvious question, but somehow it had never come to mind all these years.

Rarity nodded once more, still smiling. "Yes, Pinkie Pie. I heard that Princess Celestia is doing her best to do so."

She gestured to her surroundings and Opalescence. "They call it a 'simulation'. Just think about something and it appears before your eyes."

The unicorn shook her head and gave her friend a smile. "Not at all, Applejack. I'm doing well. I ought to get started with making the outfits for space prom soon."

She walked forth and gave Winona a little pat on her head, much to Opalescence's displeasure and the cat made a little growl. "Opalescence, that is not nice. Stop it."

The white kitten glared a bit at her owner but settled down quietly on Rarity's back. "What about you, Applejack? Do you need any help?"

Rarity raised an eyebrow. "Oh. That's quite alright. I'm sure there will be other opportunities to explore it further."

With that, she left the coat alone and finalized his measurements as well as the design of the suit. "I think that would be all. I will contact you again for a fitting at the clothiers. Is there anything else you need help with?"

"You're welcome to look at it any time you want, really! I may not have done anything to actually make it, but it's still mine, so I'm proud of it." He winked as he shrugged it back on.

"Well, considering I came in here entirely by accident, and I'm leaving with not only a new suit on the way but the promise of charming friends as companionship at the prom, I almost feel like needing anything else would be pushing my luck unreasonably far!"

Rarity continued to smile and chuckle a bit to herself. "Alright. It has been a great pleasure meeting you, Morgan." She gave him a polite bow.

He returned the bow with a smile. "It's been wonderful meeting you, too." And he meant that, every bit of it.

"Nah, I'm good. Apples are coming along just fine!" She looked proud of that fact, very happy that more options would open soon.

Winona barked happily, doing a little dance to taunt Opal. Oh, pets. Applejack made a clicking noise of disapproval at this, pointedly trying to calm Opal.

"Now now, don't fuss. We'll just get right out of your fur, all right?"
