>"you really like that pillow." Docko pointed out >green didnt even realize she was holding it tight to her chest, swivelling back and forth on her stool >which prompted her to semi-casually lower it down under her fronthooves >"its really pretty here, do you ponies get a lot of tourists?" green tried to get Oasis talking >"yeah, we get skiers and snowboarders on a good winter. lots of nature-y types, you can spend moons in the woods up there if you want to..." >green lowered her head and took a nice, long, but subtle snoof of the pillow as she went on >"...and in the summer there's ponies who like to ride their motorcycles up in the mountains..." >neuronactivation.wmv >"...but im sure you know this just from getting here, but were pretty out of the way so not many ponies find their way here" >not always a bad thing. >Docko lit up suddenly >"you came for the perfect weekend! theres a fesitval going on at the" >BRRRRRRRRING >oh yeah, she's on the clock >"whoops! lemme go see what's up, make yourself at home greenie!" oasis said in her singsongy voice and left the room
>green tuned her ears >very rarely there was a stir from one of the outpatient beds, underneath a couple other ponies working in the lab next to the office >not that they care about the interloper, who was now on her lonesome >perfect opportunity get her snoot all over that pillow >green was sat half on her rump/mostly upright so the bad leg could stick forward with the heel of her hoof resting on the floor >it was bearable, but not optimal for comf >so she tried to scoot her rump back so she could lay forward, requiring her to hoist the braced leg up and horizontal on the stool
>her hoof hanging off the front side >and the final test, green tried to sink her chest down to the pillow so she could rest her head >her head barely made it, at the cost of her right glute and hip getting stretched to full extension >ok, front ways wont work, and this stools too small for a full sploot, lets try sidesleeping >green rotated on her right side, trying to rest her bad leg like a log >although as she brought the good leg up to her chest, an involuntary movement under the brace caused her bad knee to electrify to life >"ahhhhHHHHHH! AH ah ah.." green yelled out, but stifled herself to not alert anypony while she frantically clamored back into a manageable position >celestia wont even let her have a proper nap >you dont realize how big, heavy, and inconveniently shaped a leg actually is until you cant bend it >lets try the other side >bend the left leg so that her calf rests right in the crease of her right knee >theeeeeere we go >now green can wrap her hooves around that pillow and plow her nose into it >snooooooooooooooooof >*mmmmmmph* >morning smells so nice... >feels so nice... >glorys chest floof perfectly enveloping her head and ears >and suddenly greens floating above the street, the gelatinous air streaming by her and sending little pulses into her flapping wings >"-aszzzleepalot" >"Greenie? Green FN?" >colors of white purple and green sloshed around for two seconds >"guuuornee greenie" >"huh?" >"i said good morning greenie" >oh... greens in morning's lab >...and not trotting along a balcony at the top of a 50 story building... >...and morning's back from snipping the plants... >...who kissed her forehead 5 seconds ago and is now tending to the 3rd and 4th stories of plants on the wall >"i dont think ive ever seen a mare sleep that hard in 15 minutes" >oh yeah, Oasis is still here, plus a new stallion observer in a labcoat >"you need to be careful with her, shell find a way to sleep anywhere and everywhere" >Morning Glory shot green a flirty side eye >the pillow was a psyop all along >"yeah, good morning... sorry i uh *YAWWWN* didnt mean to pass out" green tried to politely address the ponies in the room, looking a little sheepish >her head still felt like it was swimming through mud >"no worries, im happy youre getting your rest!" Docko gave her a big ole smile back >"so yeah i gave the patient a dose of [drug name] but then her [something sciency] levels kept spiking and i was like 'oook, did you eat any sugar?' and she kept being like 'nonono' and i talked to her husband and she was like 'oh yeah she ate a whole loaf of cornbread'" >"lemme guess..." >"old mare crabapple?" both oasis and morning said in unison >"so *now* i gotta make some [some chemical name] to counter that because she thinks that corn bread 'isnt real sugar'-" >"speaking of, scoot over green" >yeah let her just- >oh.
