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.

Restless. That's what Mindy was at the moment, and after a long time practically drowning herself in the bathhouse, she figured it was time to move around. Walking over to the Sensorium's, whistling Axel F to herself, she walked in, wondering if she could at least get an hour of training.

She saw the simulation was occupied, but could help goggling for a moment It was like something out of a crazy circus dream, and she had, HAD to see what kind of twisted mind would come up with this sort of monstrosity. It looked like a Merry go round gone wild!

She walked in and came upon a curious sight: a cat dolled up to look like a kewpie doll, but that was nothing compared to who she heard actually talking: a pony. No wait, a fucking UNICORN. A unicorn in frou frou world. Or was she managing it? Who knew?

Now she'd seen everything.

"Uh," she said, trying not to look amused. "Hel-lo?"

M'gann, like all the relatively new crew members was rightfully fond of the sensoriums, always glad to have some place to escape to where just a thought could surround her with the physical sollace of home, though she'd yet to risk the emotional damage of recreating her family.

When she stepped in today though - already shapeshiftitly sweater and sneaker-clad with ginger hair tied into pigtails - it was occupied by perhaps the most whimsical little building she had ever laid eyes on. The spired roof with it's fluttering flags and brightly painted slats all but sparkled, set like a bright jewel in the middle of a lovely field of grass so green M'gann could have sworn it was painted there.

Stepping a little further into the scene M'gann made her way down the path to the building, peering in the window. The little white unicorn she had carried to the top of the podchambers when they had been released was happily bustling about inside, fussing over something flagrantly pink and frilly on a pony-shaped dressform. Ponies made dresses?! She'd had no idea!

M'gann tapped the glass of the window lightly and waved.

"Hi Rarity!"

Without a word of explanation, Morgan wandered in, paying apparently no attention to his surroundings. On SOME level he must have been aware of what was around him, since he easily skirted the table without ever looking up from his thoughts, before stepping behind a large mirror.

He didn't come out, but after a moment, he sighed as he finally realized that once again he'd walked into a Sensorium without noticing it already had occupants. "...Sorry," he said, terribly sheepishly, still from behind that mirror.

Rarity was still busy choosing gems, continuously placing a gem on and taking it off. She heard a little child's voice and turned around. "Hello there! Welcome to The Carousel Boutique! How may I help you?"

Opalescence looked at the red-headed girl curiously and meowed, pawing at the window. The unicorn turned her attention to her pet and saw a familiar face outside the window. "Hi Megan, please come in!"

She used her magic on the door and it swung open as a sign of invitation.

Rarity jumped and yelped, knocking over a basket of accessories. "Who are you?!" She stood her ground, horn glowing to be safe.

"The name's Morgan," he said, peering out from behind the mirror still quite contritely. "I really am sorry. I didn't notice this sensorium was occupied."

He left that hang there a moment before shaking his head self-deprecatingly, with a smile. "Yes. I honestly walked all the way in here without noticing. It's honestly not the most oblivious thing I've ever done."

"The Car-what now?" Mindy looked confused, still trying to wrap her head around a unicorn that looked like it owned a boutique.

"I was curious," she said. "What do you do here?"

"This is my boutique and I'm making clothes." Rarity said simply as she demonstrated her skills on the dress, the gems and thread were moving and re-arranging by themselves.

Rarity relaxed her posture and brushed her mane, making it neat again. "Oh, alright. You should be more careful next time."

She levitated all the accessories back in the basket while Opalescence purred and walked up to Morgan. "I'm Rarity, that is Opalescence. What's your name?"

"Morgan Knight's the full name." He offered a hand, friendly enough. If he hadn't already met Applejack this would be weird. "And yeah. I keep doing this and it keeps embarrassing me, but... Can't explain it, it's just in my nature to lose track of things like that. Anyway, it's nice to meet you, Rarity. Seems a very appropriate name," he added with a grin.

M'gann made a delighted face when she noticed the cat, skimming around the side of the house to float in the front door and set her feet back on the ground inside.

"Where are we? Did you think this place up?" she asked Rarity as the door swung shut again behind her.

"This is The Carousel Boutique, a clothes shop I set up back home." Opalescence rubbed up against her leg. "And this is Opalescence, my cat." She scratched behind the white cat's ears.

"Clothes," Mindy repeated du8lly, looking amazed. "I'm sorry, really, I just am totally not used to seeing unicorns, like, at all. They're made up in my world, and believe me, we have the Bronx Zoo so I've seen everything. That, and well, considering the hooves, how exactly are you..."

Her voice trailed off when she saw the thread and gems moving on their own. "Magic," she said, looking fairly perplexed.

Rarity stuck out her hoof and shook his hand firmly. "It's nice to meet you too."

Opalescence, having never seen a human before began to walk around him and pawing his leg. "Opalescence, leave him alone." The unicorn said firmly.

Rarity smiled and laughed lightly. "Yes, unicorns do exist along with pegasus ponies." She looked at the girl and extended a hoof. "I'm Rarity, what's your name little one?"

He knelt down slowly, so as not to startle Opalescence, and offered the cat a hand to appraise. He knew cats, after all.

"Well... having wandered in here," he said, looking up at Rarity, "mind if I ask where I wandered to?"

Mindy wrinkled her nose. She didn't know how she felt about being called "little one," like she was some kind of little hapless child. Of course, she had to remind herself she HAD to keep that appearance up, so Hit Girl was on the clear, so she bit back her tongue.

"Mindy, Mindy Macready. Um, not that I care for all this frou frou dressy stuff, not really my thing, but let's say it was, for sake of argument. What do you got for me?"

Applejack had been swept up in her attempts to grow and harvest some usable apples. There were other apple-like alien fruits to buck as well, but she'd never like them quite as much as her prized apples. They were one of the healthy staples of a pony's diet, one she wouldn't give up easily.

Between her apple quests, she'd started to hear a hubbub about an event called a 'prom'. Near as she could figure, it was something akin to the Grand Galloping Gala...well, that sure made it sound appealing. She made a little face and set off, hoping to check on something in one of these Sensorium huts.

The one she chose definitely threw her off balance, as she appeared to be back in Equestria for a moment. She was with Rarity and Opal at the Carousel Boutique, one of the fine Ponyville establishments she happened to visit infrequently.

"Oh hey Rarity," Applejack greeted, poking her head around one of the pony mannequins. "Funny, I thought you'd be busier than all of this. Need a hoof spreading the word?"

Zouichi stepped into the Sensoriums, then slowwwwwly turned on his heel and was about to leave.

Maybe he was hallucinating. Maybe he shouldn't have tried to shoot that brand off his forehead.

"This is The Carousel Boutique, my home and workplace from where I'm from." Rarity replied as the white cat sniffed Morgan's hand and deciding that he was friendly, proceeded to nuzzle his palm.

"Aww, she likes you."

"Nice to meet you, Mindy!" Rarity scrutinized the girl up and down. "Don't like frou frou? That's alright, two of my friends aren't into those as well."

The unicorn levitated a sketch pad and pencil. "I'm afraid most of my designs for humans are at Stormwind Clothiers, this simulation only has pony drawings. What do you like to wear?"

"May I help you?" Rarity asked, putting down her work. It was impolite to ignore guests when they visited the boutique.

"Hello Applejack! I'm just feeling a little nostalgic. I got orders for prom outfits at the clothiers but I miss designing pony outfits." Rarity replied as she smoothed a crease on the dress.

Opalescence walked up to Applejack, happy to see a familiar face and mewed.

Good question. Mindy hadn't really worn much else than her Hit Girl outfit, and when she was out as her "normal" self, it was that stupid suit that Stacy made the, all wear save for the outfits that Sasami had gotten her that day. Mostly, she couldn't be bothered

"Something casual, sort of light and breezy," Mindy finally said. "I don't usually choose my own clothes since coming here. What did you have in mind?"
