  1. >Crank
  2. >Crank
  3. >SNAP
  4. >Another broken bolt, damn these things
  5. >You’ve been working on this abhorrent wagon for days
  6. >Rusted bolts ready to snap off, holes throughout the wagon, and wheels that are completely off kilter
  7. >The mare who presented you with the wagon hardly looked any better
  8. >It’s a rare sight to see a pony who is simply poorly groomed. Much less one that looked as ragged as your typical New York bum.
  9. >She also spoke in the third person, but you thought it was pretty cute
  10. >You never had a bleeding heart or immense compassion for every creature, but 0it was just a pitiful sight, so you gave her half off the repair…
  11. >A repair that would cost a lot more than you estimated, possibly leaving you scrounging around Sweet Apple Acres for scraps of various apple quizine
  12. >Knock Knock
  13. >Or not, if this is a customer maybe you can make it through the mont-
  14. >”Trixie is here for her wagon!”
  15. >Shit
  16. >Cracking open the door Trixie looks up at you with a beaming smile
  17. “Uh, hi Trixie! I’m afraid this wagon might not be in working shape quite yet”
  18. >”What? You promised Trixie it’d be done by now”
  19. “I’m not even sure how you let it get this bad Ms. Trixie, it’s practically falling apart, hell, I haven’t even fully taken apart the frame”
  20. >”Y-You, you promised Trixie! Trixie’s career will be nothing if she misses this show in Fillydelphia”
  21. >Oh Celestia she’s giving you puppy dog eyes
  22. “I can maybe get it movable in two days, the interior will need far more work”
  23. >”Maybe you can come with Trixie and fix our wagon along the way!”
  24. “I’m not so sure about that. I already put everything off for this project and…”
  25. >”Trixie will pay you 20% cut from the act!”
  26. >This pauses your train of thought, and you bend down to speak with Trixie eye to eye
  27. “And how much exactly would that be”
  28. >She bashfully looks down, rubbing her foreleg
  29. >“Trixie is not so sure. Trixie doesn’t make consistent amounts anymore”
  30. >Currency always baffled you in this land, the margin for ‘wealth’ seems completely foreign. It’s like being rich was an innate trait and not something you were born into or worked for
  31. >You had a dilemma on your hands. Go with Trixie and possibly become a poor faggot, or stay at the shop with the eternal guilt of never helping this poor mare
  32. >The choice was obvious enough
  33. ”Okay fine, I’ll tag along and repair the wagon along the way. You’re paying for material and I’m holding you to that 20%”
  34. >”Was Trixie ever one to lie?”
  35. >You remain silent and move to collect a nearby toolbox. You had a rough two days ahead
  36. >...
