4th Dress - dated to after the events of the earlier log

[prissy_hooves]

[Rarity is the hero of the day, having consumed one of the bottles of milk delivered to 836 Hastings in order to save her housemate's life.  Unfortunately, however, that means she is now suffering the effects of the milk herself.  Anyone in the vicinity will hear a high pitched shriek.]

Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!

[Immediately following this sound, the door to the house flies open and out runs Rarity, covered from horn to hoof in spiders.]

Spiders!  They're in my hair!  Get them off, get them off, get them off!

[She runs around the front yard in utter panic for a minute or so before dropping to the ground and rolling around, trying to get them off.  Sadly, this only serves to compound her problems, as not only does it fail to rid her of her arachnid problem, but it also gets her dirty.  And once she realizes that, she screams again.]

Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeek!  Dirt!  It's everywhere!  Get it off, get it off, get it off!

[Eventually, she just hunkers down on the ground and starts to cry, shivering in place as the spiders continue to crawl all over her and ruin her coat and mane.  This is the worst day.]

Comments

I am, too.

[The smile Nina gives her is soft as Nina tries to hide her exhaustion. It's been a long day, for all of them.]

Thank you, Rarity. I owe you more than I can say.

[Her life, probably her brother's sanity...]

Really, it's nothing... anypony would have done the same thing in my place.

[Spirit of Generosity, go~]

I'd like to believe that. Sometimes this town makes that hard, but that just means it's more precious when we find somebo--somepony who is willing to do the right thing.

[Nina will take Rarity into the bathroom as she talks; the sink and the tub are there, so she can get cleaned off.]

[frilly-filly.livejournal.com]

That's true. I always took that sort of thing for granted at home, but it seems things are a bit different in Mayfield.

[Rarity gingerly climbs into the bathtub, turning the water on with her magic and levitating a bottle of shampoo above her to squirt some onto her coat.]

Ahhhh, I feel better already...

[brotherseyes.livejournal.com]

Your home sounds like a wonderful place. I'd like to hear more about it someday.

[When Rarity says she feels better, Nina beams and looks very relieved.]

Thank you again, for what you did. I know you said it's not a big deal, but I want you to know that it matters to me.

Anyway, I guess I should go now. Call me if you need anything.

[Nina pauses, though, before she turns to go.]

Actually, there was one other thing I wanted to ask you, if you don't mind.

[frilly-filly.livejournal.com]

I'd be happy to tell you about it sometime, once things have calmed down a bit.

[She smiles as she watches Nina go, blinking curiously when she turns back around.]

Hmm? What is it?
