PARADISA LOST

♪ Oh, the winter is cold and our hooves are blue
But the snow is white and fresh and new
Inside we cannot stay
We must go out and play
Throwing snowballs and sledding, building snowcolts too

So won't you come and prance with me
Sinking in the snow up to our knees
Every pony and human
Come build a snowman
And then we can all have a hot cup of tea ♫

[And true to her word, Pinkie is dancing around out in front of the lobby doors while fairies flit around her.]

[Open for kisses (CHEEK/FRIENDLY ONLY) planned or unplanned!]

[Just outside the castle doors today, there in a giant trampoline complete with one bouncing pink pony. Every time she goes up, she makes a different pose or does a spin and waves at the windows of the rooms she bounces past... and because it's Pinkie, and apparently gravity doesn't matter to her, she's getting pretty high.]

WHEE!

[Boing]

YAHOO!

[Boing]

COOEEE~!

[And then, inevitably, the music starts. The beat is perfectly in time to the bouncing, and the song is transmitted over the journals as well.]

♪ Bouncy, boingy, jump!
On the up, wiggle your rump!
Can't ever be in a slump!
When you're on a trampoliiiiiine~

Higher, up in the air!
Flying without a care!
Do a spin and pose with flair!
When you're on a trampoliiiiiine~

Spring with the biggest smile!
See if you can jump up a mile!
Come right on down and I'll...
...share my trampoliiiiine~ ♫

[This morning sees Pinkie Pie outside in the leaves, tying two huge saddlebags on her back using her teeth, voice a little muffled (but no less enthusiastic) when she speaks.]

I'm going to visit my friend, Ironette! Does anypony want to come with me? We could jump out at her and yell SURPRISE!!!!

[ooc: Open! This will be followed by a post in Paradisa Beyond tomorrow (Friday) to actually meet and thread with Ironette (as discussed with a mod), so come on down to join in the madness. The more the merrier.]

[The following is dictated in an entirely too happy voice, by a pony that smells suspiciously of beer if you get too close to her in the lobby.]

Ironette was super friendly... All the ponies in the Dead Zone were nice, and are really excited about the party we're throwing them! Now we can all be friends, isn't that thrilling? There'll be ice cream and ice cones and ice sculptures and ice skating and ice hockey! As well as dancing and dips and doughnuts and dates and doritos. Not to mention music and mushrooms and mangos and marshmallows and marmalade!

She also sent a message back to the castle with me, so I hope you're all listening! Ironette says: "We can all travel safely as long as we send her a metric shit ton of beer."

...Oh! And I told her off about making a mess too, so lets all forgive and forget. Okay?

[Why yes, Pinkie went to the Dead Zone and spoke to the rogue First Gens. And didn't die.]

[ooc: So very open either in the lobby or over the journal. Also, forgive the swear, it is a direct quote from Ironette and Pinkie is just delivering the message <3]

[Pinkie Pie is in the kitchen, journal open on the counter top as she starts to sing happily her cupcake making song, while adeptly making the little treats using her hooves and mouth.]

♫ All you have to do is take a cup of flour
Add it to the mix
Now just take a little something sweet not sour
A bit of salt, just a pinch
Baking these cakes is such a cinch
Add a teaspoon of vanilla
Add a little more
And you count to four
And you'll never get your fill-a
Cupcakes
So sweet and tasty
Cupcakes
Don't be too hasty
Cupcakes, Cupcakes, Cupcakes
CUPCAAAAAAAKES~♥ ♪

[Taking them out of the oven, she is shocked to find they had turned into rocks. Every single one of them, neatly iced and decorated rocks. Anypony else might have been discouraged, Pinkie... SMILED!]

Wow! That's a super amazing magic trick this oven can do!

[ooc: Open for kitchen or over the journal, Pinkie has discovered her loss.]

[The voice that echoes through the journal this morning is almost obscenely chirpy.]

Oh wow! What a neat castle! I wonder if this is Princess Celestia's castle? But I'm sure Twilight would have mentioned if we were going to visit.

Twiiiiiliiiiiight?

[There appears to be the sound of hooves; although this isn't a canter or a trot, it's a definite prance. ]

♫ Oh when you get lost, and the world's upside down
Keep on smiling, don't you frown!
Even though your heart and hooves might ache
At the end of the search will be friends and cake! ♪
