Zephyr Sunshine

Just a railroading fellow trying to light the way for whoever he comes across on his travels. @softasablankie is his daughter.

@SoftSisterCare @SoftAsABlankie You asking me or you telling me, princess. Hoo, dear.

*Cracks open the window before getting to work changing Blankie, making a note to give her a good bath when they get to the hotel.*

*Bumps the door closed, unaware that they were seen, but having no reason to suspect so.*

[Zephyr Sunshine @LightOnTheRails]

*Crisis averted, back to checking on @SoftAsABlankie.*

*Would be stopped a second time before going back to the sleeper compartment where Blankie's staying for the night.*

[Zephyr Sunshine @LightOnTheRails]

@SoftSisterCare @SoftAsABlankie *Hasn't realized Blankie kicked the door slightly, more preoccupied with all her struggling.*

Shhhhh....easy now, princess. Just relax.

*Keeps a firm hold on her, doing what he can to help her feel at ease until she's done.*

[Zephyr Sunshine @LightOnTheRails]

@SoftAsABlankie *Chuckling sigh...knew it was a longshot but he had to try.*

....this is peeyeww, princess...whew...

*Gently boops a Blankie.*

*This part of caring for Blankie literally stinks, but he's in it now. All he can do is wait for her to finish so he can get her changed.*

[Zephyr Sunshine @LightOnTheRails]

@SoftAsABlankie *Chuckles softly, shutting the compartment door & floating her into a cuddle.*

Guess it's a night of bathroom emergencies, huh.

*Has to chuckle at his choice of words.*

...any chance we can try taking you to the potty, Blankie?

*Worth a shot! ^^;*

[Zephyr Sunshine @LightOnTheRails]

@FrownyLove *!*

Right over here.

*Leads her over to a bathroom on the opposite end of the train car. That info is posted but she wouldn't fault her for not seeing.*

[Zephyr Sunshine @LightOnTheRails]

*Might have found himself thinking about the beach meetup while working tonight's train.*

*Wouldn't have blamed @PennyOnTheAir & @WhisperInFriend if they decided they didn't want anything more to do with @SoftAsABlankie, but here they are with another meetup on the calendar.*

[Zephyr Sunshine @LightOnTheRails]

@PennyOnTheAir @SoftAsABlankie @WhisperInFriend Get home safe, you two.

*Wavey wave to the outgoing ponies.*

...well now, let's get you changed and get you home.

*Floats a Blankie next to him. Changing first & then they're heading home to wind down for the day.*

[Zephyr Sunshine @LightOnTheRails]

*Totally would have made his way to the beach to meet up with @PennyOnTheAir & @WhisperInFriend.*

Remember, @SoftAsABlankie. Be nice to Whispy, OK?

*Doing his part to hopefully make sure the girls get along.*

^.^

[Zephyr Sunshine @LightOnTheRails]

@SoftAsABlankie @WhisperInFriend @PennyOnTheAir ...we could do that. How about we meet up by the horshoe fountain & then go from there.

*A little apprehensive about taking Blankie to the playground but maybe things will be different with Whispy around.*

:)

[Zephyr Sunshine @LightOnTheRails]

@SoftAsABlankie @WhisperInFriend @PennyOnTheAir If they wanna play again, I'll see when I can make time for us to get together again. Actually, we should probably exchange contact info.

*Nods.*

^.^

[Zephyr Sunshine @LightOnTheRails]

@PennyOnTheAir @WhisperInFriend @SoftAsABlankie *Awkward chuckle.*

...guess the day ran away from us, didn't it...yeah, guess it's time we start making our ways back home. How about we grab a picture before we get going?

*Asked as he produces a camera, horn glowing as he floats it in front of them all for a selfie.*

[Zephyr Sunshine @LightOnTheRails]

@WhisperInFriend @SoftAsABlankie @PennyOnTheAir *Nods.*

Once she gets the apple juice out of her, we'll get that done.

*Horn glow as he passes around buckets, shovels & some of the other sand castle building gear in the little wagon he brought.*

All right, girls. Let's get this sandcastle built up.

^.^

[Zephyr Sunshine @LightOnTheRails]

@WhisperInFriend @SoftAsABlankie @PennyOnTheAir Feeding her was tough. Changing too. And trying to get her to the bathroom was met with screaming...I'm glad our house is out far away or someone might have thought she needed rescuing from me.

Even now, she can still be a little skittish but believe me, she's come a long way.

[Zephyr Sunshine @LightOnTheRails]

@WhisperInFriend @SoftAsABlankie @PennyOnTheAir *Small chuckle as he gently boops Blankie's nose.*

I hope one day we can get there, Whispy. But like I said, it took a long time for her to trust me. She thought every grown up was bad, including me. She didn't know I was trying to help her out, so she often hid from me. (c)

[Zephyr Sunshine @LightOnTheRails]

@PennyOnTheAir @WhisperInFriend @SoftAsABlankie It does…there's things I don't want to say with Whispy here. The long & short is that she associates the bathroom with somewhere bad…she's scared of the bathroom.

Never mind the fact that it took me a long time for me to even get her to trust me...she was scared of me too.

[Zephyr Sunshine @LightOnTheRails]

@PennyOnTheAir @WhisperInFriend @SoftAsABlankie They do, but I'm gonna hold off on changing her for a bit. She downed a whole bottle of juice before you two got here, so she might not be...'done.'

*Said in hoofquotes.*

But she's gonna get changed soon, Whispy. But as for her using the bathroom...I've tried getting her to.

[Zephyr Sunshine @LightOnTheRails]

@WhisperInFriend @PennyOnTheAir @SoftAsABlankie I've done my best to be nice to her, Whispy. It...made me angry how she was being treated. I had help from a friend that's a lawyer. I didn't just want to adopt Blankie. I wanted to destroy the ponies that dared to call themselves caretakers.

...and they didn't make it easy.

[Zephyr Sunshine @LightOnTheRails]

@SoftAsABlankie @WhisperInFriend @PennyOnTheAir *Gentle squeezehugs her.*

She's OK, Blankie...and she didn't do anything wrong, Whispy. These were very bad ponies. They were supposed to take care of Blankie. Instead, they went & did stuff like this...I caught them making Blankie use her diaper and decided to rescue her.

[Zephyr Sunshine @LightOnTheRails]

@PennyOnTheAir @WhisperInFriend @SoftAsABlankie *Soft sighing nod...*

...it wasn't some kind of Poniver Twist situation but the orphanage Blankie came from wasn't the best run place..but that's not the worst of it. I don't know why...

*Pause...*

...but she was not only kept in diapers but actively denied the bathroom.
