@mlp_Roseluck *With a slight hop in his trot he spies a quaint little flower shop not to far from his restaurant #ThePonyPalace*
My what a lovely little shope!
*opening the box reveals a mostly empty Bits bag resting on top of the building's deed. From a different bag he pulls out a frame and places the deed inside. Trotting behind the bar he hangs the frame up proudly*
~I've missed you...~
*crying happy tears*
((fade to black))
I have a lot of work ahead of me.~ /joyful/
*pulling the cart to the back of the restaurant, he digs threw his bags and places a box on the bar top. Tears stream down his face as he pulls out his keys and opens the lock.*
~It took too long!~/wistful/
*the tain "whistles" in the background as he pulls out a small ring of keys*
~Ah here they are!~ /self reassuring/ ~I just hope it's still there as well!~
*grabs his bags and places them in his cart, and hitches it to himself. He slowly starts to make his way down the ramp*
@mlp_FeatherW *pulling out a specially engraved Bit, he holds it out to the foal*
I won't tell, but you will. If you want you can take this money and make flyers for my Restaurant. Just bring this Bit back, WITH your parents, and you all may eat for free!
@mlp_FeatherW You sure are a shutter bug Master Photographer!~
*Now that Feather is in proper light, he can tell that he is just taller for his age*
Say...isn't it past your bed time sir? Your parents https://t.co/uAgaGELP6p worried.
*shaking his head he directs FW to to the doors*
@mlp_FeatherW *nods to the pegasus*
Yes you are master Weight, now please parden me while I go turn on the lights.
*trotting behind the welcoming podium he presses a button that lights the main dining hall*
Ah there we go.~
@mlp_FeatherW *doors swing inwards to reveal the entry waiting room. A glass panel resting on a knee high wall allows you to see into the the main dining hall. A large stage is built into the left side wall and against the back wall is his bar and kitchen*
This is a restaurant young master!~
@mlp_FeatherW *the padlock opens and falls into the snow. The chain falls after he untangled it from the door handles with a muffled "clang"*
Not quite lives here, but a few have come to visit! /laughs/
*placing a key into the door he unlocks the Palace doors, for the first time in 7 years.*
@mlp_FeatherW *unhitching himself from the cart, he trots over to the doors. The chains rattling as he holds onto the lock.*
This, my friend is my own personal treasure!~/voice wavering/
*a tear rolls down his cheek*
The Pony Palace, my restaurant I had lost a while back.~
@mlp_FeatherW I'm sure you have the skill to make those pictures look wonderful Mr. Weight!~
*a few minutes more of conversation and walking, they arrive at a large boarded up building with a torn awning that has the faided words "The Pony Palace" emblazoned on*
It is still here! /gasps/
@mlp_FeatherW *laughs as he walks a path he hasn't for so many years.*
That's good to know! /slight gravel/
*clears throat*
It's important to have a good public press willing to work late hours like you!
@mlp_FeatherW *Smiles for the new picture and isn't surprised this time.*
Yes, and if you must, you may call me Dom. /calm and patience/ And what was yours again?
*puts the key ring around his neck hanging from a lanyard*
If you want you can help me find my old restaurant son.
@mlp_FeatherW *he looks back and smiles at the young pegasus while they finish descending down the ramp*
I'm from overseas, or from across the pond as they say.~ /chuckles slightly/ My name is Salt Lick, but please call me Dominick, what is your name?
@mlp_FeatherW *looking over at the young foal and slightly being startled from the picture, he starts to wobbles but catching himself before stumbling*
Young man, you just gave me a fright!
~Hello Ponyville~ /respectful dignity/
*starts to look thru his luggage for something*
~This village is still here, after all this time~ /under breath/
