[People can build bonfires and burn effigies all they want -- some guys (lowercase G) have work to do!

One of whom is Brock. He has work to do.

That work is, of course, patching up the huge fuckoff hole in the side of his dumb cabin. He is out in the woods right now, though he's more staring at the huge fuckoff hole than doing any sort of repair. How does one even fix a hole in a log cabin. Does he need to knock down the whole wall ...

Making a frustrated noise, he flips his journal open.]

I lost my lumberjack. Does anyone cut down trees for fun, or do I have to go find an axe?

-- and Crowley. I hope you got a steering lock for your goddamn car.

[Everypony loves hugs, don't be so awkward Brock.]

Is this where you live now? Why don't you live in the castle any more?

[icarustattoo.livejournal.com]

[She's lucky she got a pat out of it! Brock usually just stands there when people hug him.

He's not very good with ~feelings~.]

Nah, I just built it for fun, sort of. I still live in the castle.

It's the most wood-tastic cabin I've ever seen! Can we go inside? Do you have food? Can we have a picnic in there?

[icarustattoo.livejournal.com]

I mean, there's a big hole in the wall ... but we can -- don't you usually have picnics outside?

[elementoflol.livejournal.com]

You can have inside picnics too.

[icarustattoo.livejournal.com]

Isn't that just eating?

[elementoflol.livejournal.com]

Not if you have it on a blanket on the floor, and tell stories and sing songs like at a real picnic.

[icarustattoo.livejournal.com]

Okay, I stand corrected. An indoor picnic, huh.

[elementoflol.livejournal.com]

Can we have one? Can we, can we, can we, can we?

[icarustattoo.livejournal.com]

[oh god] Uhh. Sure ...?

[elementoflol.livejournal.com]

Yay!

I'll make sandwiches and soup and sweets and sauces and soda!

[icarustattoo.livejournal.com]

[But you have no hands!!!!! wait we've been over this]

Right. What should I do?

[elementoflol.livejournal.com]

Get a blanket and cushions and music!

[icarustattoo.livejournal.com]

Okay. I think I can handle that.

[elementoflol.livejournal.com]

[And she dashes into the cabin, somehow finding the ingredients she needed and somehow making all these things with her teeth and hooves.]

[icarustattoo.livejournal.com]

[Oh, we're doing this now? Okay ... there are blankets and cushions in the cabin, but all Brock's music (hard rock, heavy metal, and blues ... sorry, Pinkie Pie) is in the castle. So, after hesitating for a moment, he turns around and heads back for the castle.

Hopefully the tiny pink horse wouldn't think he was abandoning her!]

[elementoflol.livejournal.com]

[She'd never think he was abandoning her, far too happy in her own little world doing the cooking preparation!]

[icarustattoo.livejournal.com]

[Eventually he returns with a boom box (because Brock just stopped buying things after 1990) and a stack of audio cassettes. (Because ... yeah, 1990.)

So, he will carry that stuff right into the cabin! Brock, what are you doing. Why is this happening to you. There is a talking pink pony cooking in your cabin. What ...]

[elementoflol.livejournal.com]

[Pinkie has somehow managed to produce enough food for about twenty of them, everything from wobbly jelly to fresh crunch apples (though everything is vegetarian, of course).]

You made it back~!

[icarustattoo.livejournal.com]

[WHERE DID SHE GET ALL THE .................. never mind. He is not going to ask. Just don't ask, Samson. Do not ask.]

Y...eah. I sure did. [Eying dat food] Are we inviting ... anyone else, or ...

[elementoflol.livejournal.com]

Do you want to invite anypony else?

[She is more than okay with this, and yet she'd be equally bouncing excited for it to be just the two of them.]

[icarustattoo.livejournal.com]

I don't really have anybody in mind, no.

[Mostly because oh my god out of Brock's friends, who would say 'HELL YES' to an indoor picnic with a pony]

[elementoflol.livejournal.com]

Okie dokie lokie.

Hit that music, maestro!

[icarustattoo.livejournal.com]

[And he complies! Hitting the play button on the tape deck.

Truly the most appropriate picnic music ever (http://youtu.be/QIn0q7W5Vkw).]

[Pinkie has never heard Led Zeppelin, but... SHE ROCKS OUT ANYWAY.]
