>You stir from your sleep.
-
4.
>Wait, something's off.
-
5.
>No Celestia making her sun blind your ass to start off they day? What's the occasion?
-
6.
>You throw back your curtains and look outside.
-
7.
>The sky is grey.
-
8.
>The wind is howling.
-
9.
>It's also raining.
-
10.
>Sideways.
-
11.
>"Oh."
-
12.
>So that's what's up.
-
13.
>Wait.
-
14.
>You still had to walk to work in this.
-
15.
>"Oh dicks."
-
16.
No. Don't wanna.
-
17.
>Fuck you brain, we've been in this fucking room for two days. It's time to get out.
-
18.
>You ignore your brain and roll off your bed.
-
19.
>Literally roll off.
-
20.
>You land on your face.
-
21.
>"Ow. Fuck."
-
22.
>Right, okay.
-
23.
>Those painkillers were a bit stronger then you thought.
-
24.
>You push yourself off the ground and manage to stand.
-
25.
>You hobble your way over to your door, you get the hang of walking again by the time you make it.
-
26.
>Hard part's over.
-
27.
-
28.
>Step 1: Food.
-
29.
>Solution: Two rolls of bread and some water.
-
30.
>Fucks given: None. It was cheap and filling.
-
31.
>You spy both Rainbow and Anon still asleep on the couch.
-
32.
>Anon wasn't wearing his shirt.
-
33.
>You don't want to know.
-
34.
>You finish eating and make your way to the bathroom.
-
35.
>You throw your shirt off and start removing the bandages covering your back.
-
36.
>The scars from the Manticore were noticeable, but Zecora's burning potion thing made them blend well enough.
-
37.
>You turn on your shower and step in.
-
38.
>Should you tell Anon about Rainbow? It's been obvious to you since she started showing up to watch movies so often.
-
39.
>It would be nice to rip this band-aid of awkwardness off fast and just get on with it.
-
40.
>...No. Anon had to figure this out for himself.
-
41.
>Anon was the smartest guy you knew, but he could be pretty damned thick at times.
-
42.
>Even you had to point out how close he was getting to his last girlfriend.
-
43.
>Uhg. That fucking 200 pound secretary.
-
44.
>Stupid cunt. Fuck her.
-
45.
>As you shower, you take a moment to notice that you are covering yourself in water to go outside and get covered in water.
-
46.
>The irony would be delicious if you weren't going to hate it so much.
-
47.
-
48.
>You feel a bit more lucid after your shower.
-
49.
>More aware.
-
50.
>That's good, Aloe and Lotus would probably get mad if you came into work stoned.
-
51.
>A quick peek outside shows you that this rain doesn't seem intent on letting up any time soon.
-
52.
>You decide to wear some normal clothes while you walk and change when you get to the spa.
-
53.
>You grab a work outfit from your dresser.
-
54.
>Matching stark white shirt and pants. Rarity had made them when you started working at the spa.
-
55.
>You personally thought they were too white when coupled with your pasty skin.
-
56.
>The only different color on your entire body when you wore them was your hair, you had even started to grow out your beard just to add a little fucking variety.
-
57.
>But getting these soaked wasn't an option so they went in your bag. You threw on some jeans and a shirt and made for the door.
-
58.
>Sweatshirt on to block at least some of the rain and bag over your shoulder, you opened the door.
-
59.
>Yep. Still raining sideways.
-
60.
>Shit.
-
61.
>You spot a fluttering grey figure in a yellow poncho by your mailbox.
-
62.
>"Hey Derpy." you call out over the wind.
-
63.
>She spots you and gets that big smile of hers.
-
64.
>"Hey Mous!" she says as she flies up to you.
-
65.
>It must be hard for her to fly in this weather.
-
66.
>That was why you were friends with Derpy, she never let stupid shit like a nor'easter stop her.
-
67.
>"Neither rain, nor sleet, nor snow, nor hail, huh Derpy?" you say as you return her smile.
-
68.
>Her eyes get a bit more skewed, she puts her hoof to her chin.
-
69.
>"Huh? What's that?" she asks.
-
70.
>"Heh. Never mind Derpy, just something we say where I come from. You headed my way?"
-
71.
>You gesture towards town with your thumb and Derpy beams a smile and nods.
-
72.
-
73.
>Dude.
-
74.
>Fuck. This. Rain.
-
75.
>It was coming down in sheets, the wind making those sheets hit you square in the face.
-
76.
>You could swear that you were a few steps away from being thrown into Oz.
-
77.
>Did Equestria have an Oz? Was it weirder then Equestria?
-
78.
>Your thoughts are interrupted as a fresh burst of rain nails you.
-
79.
>Even the company of your favorite mailmare can't overcome the hurdle of the blasting wind and rain.
-
80.
>You had to practically yell to get conversation across.
-
81.
>From what you could make out; Dinky was doing well in school. Or was going to Hell for the pool, you don't know it was hard to hear.
-
82.
>Probably the first one though.
-
83.
>Derpy flew off to finish her rounds as you two entered town, leaving the last few hundred yards a solo endeavor.
-
84.
>You eventually made it to the spa door and stumbled inside, your cloths were heavy and you were no doubt dripping.
-
85.
>You flipped back your hood to see Aloe behind the front desk, trying to stifle a laugh, it seems.
-
86.
>"Welcome back, Rough morning?" she asks.
-
87.
>"I will never be dry again. I could spend a year in the Appleoosian desert and still be damp."
-
88.
>"I'll bet. Lotus! Mous just walked in!" she calls back.
-
89.
>"On my way." you hear your co-boss say.
-
90.
>Lotus walks in through the door.
-
91.
>"Mous, welcome back. We're glad tha-"
-
92.
>She takes a look at your new part man-part water form.
-
93.
>"Are you sure that you're okay to work? You look like you didn't have a particularly relaxing leave." she says, you think you spot concern in her eyes.
-
94.
>"I have water in places I didn't know I had, but my wounds are all closed up. Just point me to somewhere I can get changed and dry."
-
95.
>Lotus gets a small smile. "You can use the steam room, we haven't had many customers today so it's empty."
-
96.
>Great. The day you bust your ass to come to work is the day nopony shows up.
-
97.
>"Thanks boss." you say as you make your way back.
-
98.
>Lotus bumps you as you walk past.
-
99.
>Ha.
-
100.
>She hated to be called boss.
-
101.
-
102.
>You get to the steam room and grab one of the towels nearby.
-
103.
>You disrobe and start drying yourself off.
-
104.
>You'll throw our clothes in the dryer you use for towels, if it's a slow day then Aloe and Lotus won't mind.
-
105.
>Good thing your boxers didn't get damp.
-
106.
>It makes sense that business is light today, nopony wanted to be outside in this weather.
-
107.
>Anon and Rainbow had the right idea, be off work, sleep late, stay indoors and watch movies.
-
108.
>Perfect recipe for a lazy Saturday.
-
109.
>Kinda like the day you first showed up here.
-
110.
>You pull your pants on and grab your shirt, satisfied that you were dry enou-
-
111.
>You collapse as a liquid magma hot pain runs along your scars.
-
112.
>"GAH! FUCK!"
-
113.
>Fucking hell. It felt like the Manticore was dragging it's claws up your back again.
-
114.
>Slowly.
-
115.
>While on fire.
-
116.
-
117.
>You get yourself into a seated position and try to relax.
-
118.
>Too much relaxation, you accidentally lean back on the coal pit in the center of the room.
-
119.
>"Dammit!" you gasp out as you slam your fist into the coal pit.
-
120.
>"You must have made a lot of noise because Lotus comes galloping into the room.
-
121.
>"Mous! What's wrong? Is it your back?" she ask as she bursts in.
-
122.
>You half double over and put your head in your hand as you grimace.
-
123.
>"It's nothing..." you say through clenched teeth.
-
124.
>She wasn't having any of that it seems. "It is not nothing! You're in pain!"
-
125.
>"Nothing real, just phantom pains. Probably been having them *gak*"
-
126.
>Dammit. Not now.
-
127.
>"...since I got hurt, painkillers must have made me not notice them."
-
128.
>"And you're off the painkillers?" Lotus asked.
-
129.
>"Was taking a few at a time. Can't come to work stoned." you say through gasped breath.
-
130.
>The pain was starting to fade a bit.
-
131.
>"Mous...you can't work like this." she says, actual concern in her voice.
-
132.
>Talking to Lotus was always like a game, you had to distract her to actually get the real her out.
-
133.
>"I can't sit at home for another day either, I'll go mental."
-
134.
>You sigh. The pain seemed to have passed, all the was left was a sort of throbbing feeling.
-
135.
>You could handle that.
-
136.
>"There. See?" you ask as you rise. "Good as new."
-
137.
>You throw on your shirt, as proof. It hurts, but nothing major.
-
138.
>"Mous, you can't work if this is going to happen again. It's not safe." she says as she looks up at you.
-
139.
>You mull it over.
-
140.
>Nopony wanted a masseur who was in pain.
-
141.
>Your boss didn't want you to work if you were in pain.
-
142.
>But you wanted to work.
-
143.
>The solution was simple: Don't be in pain.
-
144.
>"Then it won't happen again." you say as you head for the door.
-
145.
>"Are you sure?" you hear Lotus call out behind you.
-
146.
>"Positive." you say.
-
147.
>"I'll be in my room."
-
148.
>Okay.
-
149.
>You could do this.
