Picking up where my great aunt left off. Or should that be scooping up? Never mind. Grab a seat & a scoop. May I recommend a flavor? ((RP Scoop, GMT-5))
*On that topic...*
*The early closing times in the winter is helping right now, because he's got a puzzle he's been trying to work on. Could he be doing anything different with the parlor going into the new year?*
*Best he could do is make suggestions on how best to fix it up.*
*He can come up with all kinds of ice cream treats but when it comes to keeping things running, that's where his daughter shines through.*
*....actually, she's just getting around to repairing an old ice cream cart that she salvaged some time back.*
*It's a big job...no wonder she put it off for so long.*
*A sign showing as much would be tacked onto the outside of the parlor.*
Hmm.....now we really are a Ponyville business. Two things that seem completely random.
*Ice cream & furniture repair. That's a combo he never saw coming.*
^^;;;
*In the middle of making her own deliveries. A few chairs that she's spruced up for one of the Ponyville businesses.*
*This year, she made sure to tack a sign onto her wagon to advertise.*

Chilly Cone Ice Cream Parlor
Ask for @mlp_HzSpark
*Chilly weather is chilly but @mlp_HzSpark & him will have the cart at the run as well with some sweet treats for everyone.*
*Extra wood is brought. He's got a feeling the hot fudge sundaes could be somewhat popular in this fall chill.*
^.^

*Good thing @mlp_HzSpark & him made extra ice cream & ordered extra cones. Even in chilly fall weather, the little ice cream cones they're giving trick or treaters are proving quite popular.*
*The weather was nice enough that he had the ice cream cart out today.*
*Instead of staying out all day, he would have taken a turn outside & then let @mlp_HzSpark come out for a bit. It lets them both enjoy the weather.*
*Seems the parlor is getting a bit of a rush right now, even right around the dinner hour.*
*Some families are coming in after an early dinner for dessert while others are taking ice cream containers to go for after dinner.*
*In any case, there's guests to attend to. A bunch of kids all shouting their requests at the same time.*
All right now, you rascals. One at a time. You first.
*Twirls up an ice scream scoop in his magic.*
:3
*.........sigh.*
*Translation: guess I should let her work it out of her system.*
*Thought he was a stubborn pony. Sometimes his own daughter has him beat.*
^^;
Calm down, @mlp_HzSpark. If we can't get the soft serve working today, that's OK. Things break down. Everyone will understand.
*Ice cream season is getting into gear, but hopefully he can get through to Hazel that things sometimes happen.*
*The ice cream pon is back in action....well, he's never been out of action but not much ice cream is bought during the winter.*
*Oh well. @mlp_HzSpark & him are behind the counter, making sure @mlp_Rocky, @mlppenelope & any other visitors are being taken care of.*
:)
*With today being #WorldUnicornDay, Rocky is celebrating it the only way he knows how:
....Eating a massive unicorn sundae over at @mlp_CCone's parlor*
.....yeah. I think my dad's rubbing off on me.
Dad! Your lame jokes are rubbing off on me!!!
*Milkshake glass shake in the door's direction.*
....ehehe. Soooo, what'll it be tonight?
(@mlppenelope)
*This puts him in position to see an incoming @mlppenelope & Comet.*
Oh, hello there. Come in. Come in.
*Horn glow, propping the door open for them.*
