- >Day 285 in Equestria
- >”Sorry, Anon. We’re just not looking for someone with your, uh… skill set.”
- >This sums up your daily routine quite well.
- >Your freebies have run out, you need a job.
- >Not true, you needed a job 3 months ago.
- >It was when Twilight decided to kick you out of the Library, saying you were, “Too Big,” and, “Bothersome to those trying to read.”
- >It was bullshit, you knew it, but it was also her home. You couldn’t refuse.
- >Rarity was generous enough to take you in. In exchange for a small room and meals, she put you in charge of advertising for her store.
- >It wasn’t easy, at first.
- >But one evening about two months ago, a large family of Canterlot Unicorns visited Ponyville.
- >You really couldn’t care less why they were here, you just wanted that sale.
- >It took an entire evening of brown-nosing, human history lessons, and talking about things you never heard of but, when they asked that question…
- >”Anon, I have to ask, where did you get that suit? It is simply wonderful.”
- >You knew it was all worth it.
- “Rarity’s Carousel Boutique!” You said, “We had some amazing fashionistas on Earth but they were nothing compared to the Mare here in Ponyville.”
- >You thought you laid it on too thick but they took the bait anyway.
- >You woke up the next morning to Rarity’s frantic cheers. The family placed an order for a dozen unique dresses the moment Rarity opened her doors for the day.
- >But that wasn’t the goal. Not the final one, at least.
- >Once they got back to Canterlot with their outfits, other ponies asked where they got them.
- >That’s when Rarity’s business boomed.
- >Since that sale, Rarity has not had a slow business day.
- >Back to the present.
- >Rarity doesn’t need you anymore, she didn’t say it but she’s backed up on orders until next year.
- >You’re ready to move on anyway.
- >But, finding a job is hard. Ponies around here weren’t interested in fancy resumes, just physical ability.
- >”How many cakes can you put out in a day?”
- >”How many Apples can you haul at once?”
- >”Would you be able to deliver mail faster than a Pegasus?”
- >Of course you can’t do any of those very well.
- >But you’re not ready to give up quite yet.
- >There’s always something new on the job board.
- >The board was located in front of Sugarcube Corner, you suggested it one night to Pinkie Pie and it popped up the next morning.
- >Now ponies all over Ponyville give into their sugary desires when taking a peek at the job board.
- >It was especially crowded today. They all gathered around large, colorful poster.
- >Employers don’t use tons of color. Employers use white paper, black text, and small words.
- >Once you fought your way through the crowd, you found your job offers.
- >”Need Pegasus for-“ Nope.
- >”Unicorn needed-“ Nope.
- >”Peg-“ Nope.
- >”Opening in Ponyville Weather Cr-“ Nope.
- >… Nothing.
- >Ugh, now you’re jobless AND you have nothing to do for the rest of the day.
- >Your thoughts are drowned out by the crowd next to you.
- >They’re still gathered around the poster but not in an excited manner. You hear jeers, mocking laughter, and bad imitations.
- >Your curiosity is piqued, you shuffle a little closer to the main attraction.
- >’The Great and Powerful Trixie’s Return to Ponyville’
- >A blue mare with a white-blue mane stood on its hind hooves. She wore a dorky purple wizard’s hat and matching cape.
- >’Tonight! Town Square! See the New and Improved Mare of Magic!’
- >A magic show? That’s… childish.
- >But you haven’t really seen a Unicorn magic show. It’ll actually involve real magic as opposed to sleight of hand.
- >And you honestly have nothing better to do.
- >Yeah, it might be fun if you think about it.
- >The Great and Powerful Trixie! You only hope she lives up to her name.
