Vinyl and Marble's Place(#1209R)
Considering they have such opposing personalities, Vinyl Scratch and Marble Memory have worked together to make this place quite the impressive family home. As it was once exclusively owned and lived in by the DJ, most of the decor and furniture belongs to her; however, her fiance, believing in tidiness and organisation, has helped her to clear the place up considerably, and it is now a lot more habitable than it was before. The living room is big; spacious and neat, (but chances are it wasn't before Marble moved in!) and houses a sofa, three comfortable chairs, a coffee table and a built-in dining area towards the back, plus a door to a small kitchen. Upstairs, there are two unused bedrooms (storage), the master bedroom and a bathroom. The bathroom is clean and airy, and the master bedroom is the perfect blend of the two ponies who occupy it. The couple live in harmony, and it's evident from the amount of photographs around and how nicely decorated the house is that their love is strong.

<OOC> Derpy looks around.
*knock knock knock*
Marble is in the kitchen, chopping vegetables, when he hears knocking at the door. Setting down the knife, he heads for the door in a hurry, reaching for the doorknob.
Derpy is standing there, dressed in political garb. She has on a blue and green shift and a smart little cap to match, and has a pair of clipboards dangling from her haunches on cords. A collection of papers protrude from a saddlebag. Her face is concerned, but grins when she sees Marble Memory. "Mar-Bell! Hello! Why are not out streeting! Only two days left for campaign!"
<OOC> Sky_Blue says, "OMIGOSH DERPY IS CUTEST PONY."
<OOC> Derpy grins so bright! Join in scene?
"I... but it's evening here." MArble says. "I... I-I was about to make some food for my fiance. I imagine she'll be very hungry when she gets home." Then MArble gets a little worried. "O... o-oh dear. You think I would get more votes?"
<OOC> Sky_Blue says, "Maybe! n.u"
Derpy looks thoughtful, her eyes turning at a brisk rate that would flatter a gearbox. "Probably not ~less~ votes!" she says. She points toward the window. "Public awaits! I will make dinner for fiance! What foods love?" Derpy has the best ideas.
"Ohh... she likes so many things, but her favorite sweet treat is peanut butter cookies. And... I was starting vegetable soup for her..." Marble looks around for something nice to wear.
Derpy smells the soup and inhales indulgently. "Soup! Is best. Will finish soup, add spice." She eyes the spice rack hungrily. "And peanut cookie? How about muuuffin? Can peanut butter muffin in less than hour!" Her tail spins around several times with excitement.
<OOC> Sky_Blue says, "Imagine a cuter, less Cthulhu-esque version of Sky cookin'."
"Well, y-you can try but Memoire's been... picky lately." Marble says, finding his nice suit, almost grabs his monocle... thinks better of it and places his glasses back on. "Just be careful... o-okay?"
Derpy nodnods! "Wait. Mem-o-ar?" She derps, misstepping. "Thought fiance was record spin! Have broked up?!" The very thought seems to break up Derpy's voice.
"No... Memoire. Memoire. My daughter. You know, Vinyl is pregnant... and... everything. You didn't know?" Does Derpy not read the news or... look at Vinyl that much?
Derpy apparently doesn't. She freezes slowly up in place, her mouth a big O. Then she slowly faaaaalls over onto her side. *POOM*.
<OOC> Sky_Blue says, "O... o-oh dear."
<OOC> Sky_Blue says, "Y'all killed her."
Marble stares a moment. Then he moves over to Derpy and shakes her. "M... m-mailmare?" Oh no! Oh no no no no! He can't have a passed out mailmare here when Vinyl comes home!
Derpy flips over the other way, all four stiff legs at once. -wheeeep-ka-PLONK.- She lies that way for a while, stiffening. Then she leaps up, fluttering. "Are fathering? Are ~outwedlock??!~ NO!! Is Scandal!!"
Marble shrinks back when Derpy springs back up. "B... b-but... I-I... scandal?" Marble is now scared of the mailmare. "What do I do?"
Derpy's eyes are spinning faster than she can talk. She skitters about the room, opening and slamming cupboards, pouring flour and baking soda and sesame seeds into various bowls and then pouring them into other bowls. "Not know! Is danger! Is disaster for house of cards!" She calms down for a moment, though her eyes don't seem to. Her face acquires a steely temper. "Must spin." Up go the wings. "Must spin!!"
<OOC> Sky_Blue speaks Salsa, but even SHE can't figure out Derpyspeech in this pose. XD
"S... s-spin? Spin... m-my daughter. That doesn't sound safe for Vinyl or Memoire," Marble is not understanding what Derpy is meaning here.
<OOC> Marble_Memory can. XD
<OOC> Sky_Blue u.n
<OOC> Marble_Memory says, "Derpy is trying to urge Marble to find some politique way to acknowledge he's nocked up Vinyl BEFORE marrying her. XD"
<OOC> Sky_Blue says, "Ah XD"
<OOC> Sky_Blue says, "It's not 1839!
"
<OOC> Marble_Memory is running for PUBLIC OFFICE! It's 1643!
<OOC> Sky_Blue !
<OOC> Marble_Memory says, "Or, rather, I have to be very careful what ponies think of me. XD"
Derpy's demeanor is spinning from a haphazard state to a very controlled hazard-state. She stomp her foot firmly, making no sound whatsoever. "Must find best spin. What is story? You and Vine... making new chiild...for why?" Her eyes juggle about. "Maybe ~secret~ marriage! Already marry, no problem! Will do again for fun." She smiles--probably solved! Nutmeg goes into a teaspoon and into a bowl in turn.
"Um..." Marble begins, already starting to dig himself a political grave. "We had this romantic evening... there were stars in the sky and then... one thing led to another and... D-did I mention we plan to get married *before* Memoire is born?" Yes. That helps lots, Marble.
Derpy shakes her head. Then nods it. Plenty of vigor throughout. A few well-timed, well-placed kicks of each of Derpy's four legs, and a pan of allegedly peanut butter muffins loudly gets ensconced in the oven. "Is help. But starry night? Must VERY starry! Must ALL-STARRY! Maybe Power Ball! I mean Ballad. Maybe Sapphire! Also, other angle. Public pledge! Vinyl at side, then know...KNOW not is deadbeat." A tear streak down Derpy's cheek. "Not will abandon daughter!?"
"Of course I wouldn't abandon my daughter." Marble then thinks about the gist of Derpy's message. "Ohh. It was a very romantic night. You see... it is the night I proposed to her. When I decided she was the most important mare in my life." Marble says.
Derpy gasps. She idly swings a leg, letting it hit a table leg with a -clonk-. She looks down at the table. "But then..." A blush passes over her, but it soon leaves her neutral gray again. "Then love," she says. "Will Vinyl campaign with?" She grins, looking out the window. "First dinner together all three, and then CAMPAIGN together!" she says, having had another great idea. Oops--the vegetable soup is boiling over!
"I have my Vinyl in my corner 100%." Marble says. "She has her own career, though. I don't want her to give it up just so... so she can make me look better. Besides.... wouldn't it look better if it was just the two of us? I mean... how romantic is a dinner for three?"
Derpy is confused, her eyes rolling again. "Then I will hide," she concludes. She huddles under the table. But then, hearing the boiling-over soup, she explodes from beneath, rocking the table and leaping to the soup pan! She tries to turn down the heat, but turns it up by mistake!
Marble shrieks and rushes into the kitchen after Derpy, and shrieks again when he sees the soup. "Soup!" He rushes to try and manage the stove, grabbing hold of the chopping knife in the process. He must clean at the same time!"
Derpy scrambles with dials, trying to solve the problem, but the soup just keeps bubbling over the rim. She gives up on reducing the heat and turns to finding a good cover to keep it all in, instead. But the covers she tries are all too large or too small!
<OOC> You say, "Where is Scratch when need?"
<OOC> Marble_Memory says, "I dunno! D:"
Marble sets the knife back down on the counter and bumps the soup pot to try and turn the soup back down. "Wrong way! Wrong-- OW!" Marble burns himself, flailing and whimpering.
Derpy whimpers too! She pushes the pot onto another spot on the stove, and leaves the fire burning. "Mar-bull. Can unheat? Time is ticking and the public is ready to vote PiiIInkKiIE!"
Marble stares in horror at Derpy. Even with a fire building up in his kitchen. "Pinkie... win?" Marble says, staring in horror. "Don't you realize what she could do to Ponyville?" Curtains are now catching fire. Marble seems oblivious.
Derpy too. She nods soberly. "Is WAAAAY ahead in poll. At this rate? Lucky if you vote for ~yourself.~ Must stop hemorhage vote!"
"She can't be ahead in the polls! I was doing so well!" Marble says, the fire is spreading ever further. Ponies should pay more attention. "What do I do? What must be done?" At this rate Marble will be lucky he has a kitchen anymore!
PUB >> Marble "Worries About Nothing" Memory says, "Do we have a firepony?"
PUB >> Bardigan says, "Probably. Somewhere around here."
Derpy finally notices the fire spreading. She leaps and hits the ceiling. "MARRRRBLLLLLE! FIIIIRRRE!!" Derpy zooms back and forth, up and down, effectively fanning the flames.
Marble shrieks in terror when he sees that his kitchen is on fire! He grabs a glass, fills it with water, and splashes the fire with roughly twelve ounces of water. No good. And Marble looks SURPRISED it did no good. "No!!!"
Derpy flies out the door. "Have waterbucket? Have tide pool??" She shouts into the street: "FIRE EXTINCTER!!"
Derpy yells ICly into the streets of Ponyville: "FIRE EXTINCTER!!" (Public-pose)
PUB >> Grimlock says, "Extincter? Whyfor you put out fires?!"
Match_Maker shouts "FIRE IN THE DISCO!" (Public-shout)
Coder shouts "THE ROOF! ... IT'S ON FIRE!! >.<" (Public-shout)
Rising_Dawn has arrived.
Marble looks around, he rummages through a cupboard and soon wields a fire extinguisher, taking flight, removing the safety pin from the extinguisher, lugging it, pointing it at the fire, and triggers the extinguisher. Being the flimsy weakling pegasus that he is, all he accomplishes is being propelled all around the kitchen. When he finally gets it pointed at the fire, now consuming the nearby counters, he exudes about 2 seconds of juice. "O-oh! No!"
Merryweather has arrived.
Snow_Bolt has arrived.
<OOC> Rising_Dawn shall be at the hospital should there be casualties.
<OOC> Merryweather has Snow_Bolt wanting to do weather work and helping to put out a fire IC will get his hoof in the door!
Derpy shouts together with Marble, having trailed him onhis unfortunate journey. "Ooh noooOO!" She stares at the fire as it claims more and more items of furniture and appliances, its color morphing beyond simple orange. She hovers at the door, looking in and out to see when the weather ponies will come. "Marrrbbllle!!" she shouts.
<OOC> Sky_Blue says, "AT LEAST IT'S NOT MAH MEADERY.
"
Back at the pond, Merry seems to calm a little as Snow_Bolt returns the temperatures to normal. She's about to give him a piece of her mind she can ill-afford to give up, when the cry of 'FIRE' can be heard from the nearby town. Merry instantly produces a bag of marshmallows and begins zipping that way in erratic darting blurs.
<OOC> Sky_Blue says, "TOTALLY NOT HELPIN', MERRY."
Marble doesn't have a choice. Oh, Vinyl is going to kill him! "Evacuate! We gotta get out of here!" MArble grabs hold of derpy and flies out of his beloved house. Used to be Vinyl's house. "Oh no!"
<OOC> Merryweather says, "WHAT!? I was gonna share! D:"
Snow_Bolt doesn't really have the pleasure of being able to zip around as fast as Merry because he lacks wings. But he does what he can for speed by making several small portal jumps. Its not his speciality that is for sure and it isn't exactly a smooth ride, but a few bumps and brusies might be worth it in this case. He makes it to the source of the yell and pokes his head into the door of the building that has smoke coming out of it, just in time to see the occupants begining to evacuate. Thats probably a really good idea. Still no sense in letting the fire destroy the house. Its been ages since he made it rain inside a structure, though its an easy enough task. He closes his eyes to concentrate and holds his breath at the same time, not really wanting to inhale the smoke. Promptly clouds begin to form inside the house and the rain soon follows. This is going to be one heck of a mess after it dries.
Marble doesn't have a choice. Oh, Vinyl is going to kill him! "Evacuate! We gotta get out of here!" Marble grabs hold of Derpy and flies out of his loved house. Used to be Vinyl's house. "Oh no!"
Derpy flies out the window with Marble, but then remembers something vital. "MUFFINS!!" she shouts, hairpinning around and soaring back in. She left peanut butter muffins in the oven! Coughing and flinching, Derpy pulls open the oven door...but how to extract them?? To her surprise, something is forming inside the house...are those clouds?? She pulls back and gasps happily as the rain starts to fall. "Cloudses! Will help!" And with that, she soars up and starts jumping on the nearest one...
Merryweather was about to zip up to pull down some clouds from the middle layer above this part of Ponyville, when they begin forming conveniently farther down. Nimbostratus! Just what she needs! She buzzbombs the clouds, pulling them and tugging them every which way into proper patterns right over the house, giving each one a nimble back-kick to start it raining. She yells down to Snow_Bolt. "WE NEED CLASS SEVEN FOG AROUND THE LANDSCAPING TO KEEP THE FIRE FROM SPREADING!! ONE HUNDRED PERCENT HUMIDITY!!"
Snow_Bolt can manage to put fog around the place. All he has to do is picture it in his mind and the magic takes care of the rest. A thick layer of fog places itself around the outside of the house, and some of it even begins to creep inside. No sense in not overdoing it to make sure that the fire is taken care of, "No problem..." he says to the pegasus. At least at the present he feels useful.
Derpy finds the cloud she's bouncing on draining itself away under her hooves! She tilts her head but doesn't stop jumping, and after one jump too many she falls straight through, dissipating what remains of the cloud and hitting her chin on the half-burned and toppled table. "MmmpH!" But Derpy shakes it off and goes again for the muffins. Now that the fire is being extinguished, she's able to balance the baking tray on her forelegs. But which way to go? There's fog everywhere and Derpy can't find the window anymore!!
MArble is now standing outside his house. His beautiful house, hooves to his face, watching in transfixed horror as ponies move in to extinguish the flame. He is trying to find some way to tell his fiance about this. "O... o-oh dear. O... o-oh dear."
That's a class five fog! Merry distinctly remembers reading her pose and it said class seven! You cannot rely on weather that wasn't manufactured in Cloudsdale! Hurmph, hrumph. Merryweather's too busy making sure there are clouds over everyplace she sees smoke and flames. Even so, she's got to admit this was quicker than trying to pull clouds down from a higher level of the atmosphere. Leaving the clouds to rain themselves out, she buzzles down to meet Snow_Bolt. "Trained, huh? We'll talk about that later! No pony without wings has ever been allowed to work the weather in Equestria! IT IS AGAINST THE RULES FOR NON WEATHER PONIES TO MAKE WEATHER! SO! By the authority invested in me at ten percent annual interest by the Cloudsdale Weather Corps, I officially deputize you as an official weather pony! YOU NEED WINGS!" She produces a somewhat silly hat with a pair of wings poking out the sides, like horns. She attempts to put this on Snow's head. "Wear it with pride!"
Snow_Bolt has wanted wings from the time he was small, so that he could fly with his mother, siblings and other family members, but alas its the one thing that has really eluded him. He knows there are magical solutions to the problem, but he doesn't really trust magic, despite having his own that he works with. The other kinds of magic that he has always seemed to him to be unnatural. He smiles widely as he hears what she says. This is the moment that he has been waiting for his entire life, even a stupid looking hat can't ruin it. If it means he gets to do the weather officially he'll put up with the hat, "Thank you!" he says to her. He will keep the hat on his head from here on out. At least when he is working in the offical sense.
<OOC> Merryweather is sorry for the abrupt closeout by her, but really does need to be going. o.o
After a grueling ordeal that must have seemed twice as long for Derpy as for everyone else, the soot-flecked, rain-sprayed mailpony manages to locate the window and maneuver a surprisingly long baking tray out through it! The muffins are saved! ...Mostly! They are, admittedly, a little soggy on top. And Derpy's operative outfit (green and blue) is also kind of spoiled, along with the fliers on her pocket. But she's accomplished what really mattered. "Marble," she pants. "Have save-d. Clouds all rain. Fog all sog. Now no burn." She lands, stands, and hangs her head, setting down the muffin tray. She looks back to thank the weather patrol, only to marvel at the ceremony taking place. Her wings start to wetly beat as if on their own accord, and Derpy cheers. "YaAAAY!"
Marble is still staring at his house. Its saved, but he's sure the kitchen is a lost cause. "Is... is... is... i-i-i-is... is it safe to go in?" Finally, MArble just feels lightheaded and finally he just blacks out. He is terrified of how he'll tell Vinyl.
Derpy catches! OOF! Poor Derpy bears so much. She reeeaches out her neck and munches a muffin. And wonders, in a vague corner of her mind, what she'll say to Vinyl Scratch when she comes home. (6 . 9)
Snow_Bolt watches the remaining ponies after Merryweather flies off. They both seem ok. They don't seem to be hurt so its probably time for him to be off, "I hope everything works out ok..." he says to the pair of them as he moves on down the street back toward the main square. He definitely has to go tell his friends about this.
<OOC> Snow_Bolt waves a goodbye to all.
<OOC> Marble_Memory says, "Looks like a good ending point. What a campaign highlight!"
<OOC> Marble_Memory says, "Marble Memory: His House Almost Burned Down."
<OOC> Snow_Bolt says, "Derpy for Chancellor!"
<OOC> You say, "Good night, Marble! I hope you manage to get yourself out there in front of the public tomorrow! Voting starts Saturday!"
Derpy shouts "Attention ponies!! Voting for Chancellor will start Saturday and continue Sunday! Details to follow!" (Public-shout)
