* DoubleStuf trots in happily, wagging her tail as she carries a steaming tray of cut slices of angel cake
<Gat> > 3? Well, we'll make it easy on ya then..
* Gat has groveries in his bag. It's food cuz..well, Foals eat a LOT.
* Meteor trots into the other room, away from DoubleStuf
* Sun_Beam trots idly by, going the other way. His nose is down in a clipboard and he smacks his lips every so often, his eyes lazily glancing over the pages
* Gat steps out of Sun_Beam's path
<Gat> A-ah..'scuse me.
* DoubleStuf 's angel cake slices seem to have a mind of their own, their very scent curling through the air and penetrating Sun Beam's nostrils with delicious throbbing sweet-scentedness
* GodheadInspector nums the caek
<GodheadInspector> Hai hun,3
<GodheadInspector> *<3
<Sun_Beam> You are excused. Go on your way.
<Sun_Beam> *Snff*
<Gat> You alright there, pal..?
<Sun_Beam> ...ugh. --
<Sun_Beam> Another pointless bakery. What *DO* you all do with yourselves...? - -
<Gat> Not much of a sweet tooth?
<Sun_Beam> Is there no regard for actual classic cooking in this godforsaken city? --
<DoubleStuf> Oh, hi Goddie! I didn't realize that you'd been stalking me! ouo"
* Gat crooks an eyebrow to his reaction..
* DoubleStuf 's ears perk
<Sun_Beam> More crumpets, cakes, sugarbuns, cinnamon rolls and cookies than a sane individual could ever stand. - -
<DoubleStuf> Oh, hi sir, would you like some cake? ^^
<GodheadInspector> Wat no.
<Gat> {Jeez guy, it's just food..}
<GodheadInspector> I don't stalk you. I just happened to smell angel food cake.
<GodheadInspector> And there you were<3
<DoubleStuf> YOu could have really twisted that into a pun-compliment, hunny. Minus five points for lack of effort o.o
* DoubleStuf pokes Godhead's nose
<GodheadInspector> Aw
<DoubleStuf> Hee ^3^
* DoubleStuf waves the tray of angel food cake under Sun Beam's snout
<GodheadInspector> Curse you and your compunments --
<Sun_Beam> >.>
<Sun_Beam> u.u
<Sun_Beam> >.>
<Sun_Beam> No. >.>
<Sun_Beam> The last thing I want is another so-called "master baker's" sugar-brewed mass of carbohydrates. >.>
<GodheadInspector> ...Hey, it's not her cutie mark for nothing. At least have a nibble.
<GodheadInspector> It's only polite.
<Sun_Beam> I understand you are loaded with cholesterol, Light, but I did not believe it in your ears. <.<
<Sun_Beam> I said "no" <.<
<GodheadInspector> Alright... wait who are you?
* Gat just watches. He could not for the life of him guage what's this guy's beef.
<DoubleStuf> Oh, okay then! Well, there's a really nice Marelaysian restaurant around the corner about two blocks down if you want something to eat other than this ^^
* DoubleStuf puts her tray away
<Sun_Beam> And it appears your memory has gone the way of the rest of your brain. We met, Light. You began cursing at me. --
<Sun_Beam> >.>
<Sun_Beam> I am well aware of that, miss Stuf. >.>
<Sun_Beam> But good of you to try to inform me.
<GodheadInspector> ...
<GodheadInspector> I can't say I've seen you before. You sure it wasn't just someone who looked like me?
<GodheadInspector> I'm not one to curse at people for no reason.
<GodheadInspector> I'm pretty sure I'd recognize you right away if I did know you.
<Sun_Beam> I see my glorious presence has completely blotted out your brain.
<Sun_Beam> I shall have to watch how well I have my mane styled by my private hairdresser, if it is going to have that effect.
<Gat> ...Mmk.
<GodheadInspector> ...No, really. I'd recognize anyone who looked like you.
<GodheadInspector> You're hard to miss.
<GodheadInspector> What's your name, anyway?
<DoubleStuf> Aw, thanks mister! Say, what's your name? ouo
<Sun_Beam> Sun Beam. --
<GodheadInspector> ...Fitting!
<GodheadInspector> ...wait, I've heard that name before.
<DoubleStuf> Nice ta meet ya Sun Beam! Sorry if my hubby is lying about having not met you before, he does that sometimes when he gets embarrased
<DoubleStuf> ^^
<GodheadInspector> No, really. I honest to God do not remember you.
<GodheadInspector> I'd REMEMBER SOMEONE WHO LOOKED LIKE THAT.
<Sun_Beam> Understandable. I have had the lesser ponies tremble at my coming. Even if it is true, I would not doubt my presence could blot the minds of the weak.
<Gat> Uh...
<GodheadInspector> ...
<Gat> Nice to meet you too?
* Gat offers a hoof to shake with Sun Beam..
<GodheadInspector> Oooo... kaaaaay.
<DoubleStuf> Oh hi Gat! Didn't see ya there ^^
<Sun_Beam> <.<
* Sun_Beam shrugs
<Gat> Hello, DoubleStuf!
<Sun_Beam> The pleasure is yours, Gatito.
* Gat lowers his hoof.
<Gat> So, uh..you seem like a busy guy.
<GodheadInspector> Llo Gat
<Sun_Beam> I am. So if you have something to say, say it. <.<
<Sun_Beam> Unless that 'something' is assistance in raising children that spawned from somepony else's wife, or being an embarrasment as a homekeeper. Then you can keep it to yourself.
<DoubleStuf> Good advice, mister Beamy ^^
* DoubleStuf sits down and takes out the tray of cake, offering it to Gat
<Gat> I wasn't going to ask that. Ah, thanks..
* Gat takes a cookie and chews on it.
<GodheadInspector> ...
<Gat> And I do my part at home. I make sure things look nice an-..Wait. How long have you been watching us?
<Sun_Beam> Good.
* GodheadInspector 's eye twitches slightly
<Sun_Beam> Quite some time. And "I" have not been watching you, or I would likely have an aneurisym by now.
<Sun_Beam> I simply read the very clear reports drawn from easily obtained public knowledge. --
<Sun_Beam> I am well aware of what "your part at home" is. Taking resources without bringing in support of your own, not even bothering to watch over the spawn of your "wives" most of the time, and generally taking up space. --
<Sun_Beam> Frankly it sickens me that somepony like you was able to woo somepony with such a high degree of class as miss Fleur-de-Lis. I do hope she soon realizes her mistake.
<GodheadInspector> ...
* Gat blinks
<Gat> I..DO watch over the kids.
<Gat> Dunno who's watching us but they've been slippin', I see.
<Sun_Beam> Of course you do. Which is why the...I hardly think to call it a "lady", but Umbra is constantly falling over exhausted and wearing herself out attempting to contain the little imps. --
<GodheadInspector> ...That's part of being a parent.
<Gat> Be nice. Foals take a lot out of ya, y'know ? But it's worth it in the end.
<Sun_Beam> Forcing the children onto the "other partner" is a part of being a parent, is it? <.<
<Sun_Beam> You lowborns have a peculiar idea of "parenting". Ah well, what can be expected of you.
<GodheadInspector> No, it's falling over exhausted and wearing yourself out attempting to contain your little imps.
<GodheadInspector> If you were a parent, you'd know that.
<DoubleStuf> Or one little imp. It's a lucky thing that Autumn is so well behaved, huh hun? ^^
<GodheadInspector> Heh
<GodheadInspector> Well-behaved
<GodheadInspector> sure -u-
<Sun_Beam> I do believe that most of the parents that successfully raise proper children work "together" to do so, not simply enjoy the facial and then foist responsibility off onto the other. --
<Gat> We do work together. Hell, there's four of us workin' at it.
<DoubleStuf> I don't think that facials are an integral part of having a foal, mister Sunners
<Sun_Beam> And yet one bearing the burden. It is rather sad how very in denial you are, but then I suppose I will not be the one crying and wondering "what went wrong" when my so-called significant other has a physical and mental breakdown. --
<GodheadInspector> ...
<GodheadInspector> {I can't imagine anyone wanting to be around you for even an hour, much less the rest of their lives.}
<Gat> Don't worry, man.  She ain't gunna pass out. We's all going to be together for our kids.
* DoubleStuf nums some cake and smiles, her tai lswishing softly
* Sun_Beam rolls his eyes and looks back to his clipboard. In the sky, a harsh wind begins to pick up, clouds gathering towards the center of the city...yet the clouds move against the wind itself as they make their way in. Beam doesn't look up as this happens, however.
<GodheadInspector> ...?
<GodheadInspector> What the...
<Sun_Beam> Suit yourself. I attempted to warn you, but as always, cast not pearls before swine.
<GodheadInspector> I'm sure Gat and his wife will be just fine. They know how a relationship works. c:
<Sun_Beam> Said the parents of every failed child-rearing ever.
<GodheadInspector> ...And also the parents of plenty of successful ones.
<Gat> ...So, what, you want me to do more then?
<Gat> Like, just take a load off of Umbra's hooves, I'm guessin'?
<Sun_Beam> I could care less. >.>
<Gat> ...so, you just said that for nnnothing?
<GodheadInspector> Then why are you even saying anything then?
<Sun_Beam> I am simply bestowing some greater wisdom on you, since you seem not to know what is happening in front of your bloody faces. As usual. --
<Sun_Beam> Do with it what you will.
<Sun_Beam> I am not your life coach. Ugh. --
<GodheadInspector> {Keep that up and we're not the ones who're gonna have bloody faces, jackass.}
<GodheadInspector> ...So what exactly are you doing, Mr. Beam?
<Gat> ..This criticism isn't very helpful.
* GodheadInspector takes some cake from DoubleStuf 's tray and nums
<Umbra> (what is he doing here? Ruining the Ambiance I imagine)
<DoubleStuf> How is it, Goddie? ouo
<GodheadInspector> It's making my taste buds cry tears of joy
* Sun_Beam sighs
* Sun_Beam slips the clipboard into his labcoat
<Sun_Beam> I will try and speak slowly, and v e r r r y c l e a a a r l y f o r y o u u . --
<Gat> t h a n k you
<DoubleStuf> w h y   a r e   w e   a l l   s p e a k i n g   l i k e   w h a a a a a l e s   o.o
* GodheadInspector snuggles the fuck out of Double
<GodheadInspector> Double stop I'm going to spit food everywhere
<Sun_Beam> You are a *terrible* husband. You do *not* deserve to stand anywhere near miss De-Lis, much less touch her. You are *pathetic*, and contribute less to society than you did as a "UAA member"...at least then you affected the economy. Your parenting skills are nearly bad enough to have me...*me*...consider using some of my precious time to alert the proper authorities. And if you were not, for some unfathomab
<Sun_Beam> le reason, so well-liked? You would be a homeless drifter, as you deserve to be, rotting on a roadside and promising yourself that "you would write that book tomorrow". - -
<Sun_Beam> Did you understand that time? o.o
<GodheadInspector> ...That's not helpful criticism at all.
<Gat> No, godhead, that is actually.
<GodheadInspector> ...How?
<Gat> He didn't pull any punches here. Lettin' me have it n' all. He exploited my flaws here.
<Gat> ..Though, he's got a bias, so I have to take them with a grain of salt.
<Gat> Still, anything to help me improve, eh?
<GodheadInspector> ...He gave you the real life equivalent of one of those comments you get on the internet where the commenter just says 'lul you suck'
<Gat> Well, Godhead..
* Gat looks at Sun Beam
<Gat> Nobody's perfect. But we can always get better, y'know?
* Sun_Beam looks back
<Sun_Beam> Precisely. Finally, one of you with ears.
<Sun_Beam> *And* the willingness to use their brain. --
<Sun_Beam> How wonderful it will be if you decide to actually put any of this to use and raise yourself to a less despicable being, hmm? --
<GodheadInspector> I mean, I'd at least tell you what exactly to work on and maybe give you some advice instead of just telling you how terrible you are.
<Sun_Beam> Oh. Another that believes they know how to 'give advice', as if they had a laundry list of how 'somepony else' is supposed to change themselves.
<Sun_Beam> If Gatito is to increase his worth, he will figure out how to do it on his own. Or he won't. Which is far more likely.
<Gat> Anything's possible.
<Sun_Beam> Possible, yes.
<Sun_Beam> But given your track record?
<Sun_Beam> Highly unlikely.
<Gat> Since you've been following me back till UAA, you know damn well that people can change.
<GodheadInspector> I don't, but that doesn't mean I can't at least relate some things I've experienced from my own life to at least give them an idea as to how others deal with things.
<Gat> Heh..I may be slow to the punch, but when I hit, it's like a truck, y'dig?
* IHateHomework is now known as Parti
<Sun_Beam> Sometimes moving too slowly results in the goal being gone before you reach it, moron. --
<Parti> > Something I struggle with in real life
<Sun_Beam> And I have not wasted any of my valuable time doing such a thing. Once again, it is easily found public knowledge, if you know where to look. You have spoken about it in open public on more than one occasion. --
<Sun_Beam> I look forward to successfully wooing your ex-wife into a lovely, charming evening of fine dining and high-class entertainment before becoming a better platonic relation to her than you and your "relationship". Have ever been.
<GodheadInspector> ...
<GodheadInspector> snrk
<Umbra> *KRACKA-THOOOOOOM* <A blast of deafening thunder shakes the park before a bolt of lightning like zeus' wrath splits the sky, the heavens going as black as a moonless night>
<GodheadInspector> !
<GodheadInspector> WHOA GEEZ
* Gat looks up.
* Sun_Beam glances up
<Gat> ..The hell?
<GodheadInspector> ...
<GodheadInspector> Someone let out another elder god, didn't they --
* Sun_Beam rolls his eyes, small glowing lights hovering around his body and flashing at random intervals
* Gat twitches his ears, and glances at Sun Beam
<GodheadInspector> *Sigh*
* DoubleStuf bolts like a cat, caterwauling as she flees from the lightning >.>
<GodheadInspector> !
<GodheadInspector> Double, hun!
* GodheadInspector trots after her
<GodheadInspector> It's okay, it's okay...
<Sun_Beam> >.>
* Sun_Beam rolls his eyes
<Sun_Beam> Do tell your...
<Sun_Beam> ...
<Sun_Beam> ...
* DoubleStuf is now known as Morf
<Sun_Beam> Do tell Fleur that whenever she is finished attempting to groom you into something worthwhile, a real stallion awaits her. Not for her truly striking looks, nor her charming personality, or even her examplary and outstanding mind; but for all three. No romance required. And most certainly none of...
* Sun_Beam makes a face like he just stepped in feces, waving a hoof in your direction
<Sun_Beam> ...
<Sun_Beam> ..."that" --
<Gat> Weren't -YOU- the one who just said "Moving too slowly results the goal being gone" ?
<Gat> Heh, Guess I got a pep to my step afterall.
<Umbra> <the black clouds become a spiral, moving in a slow swirl, spinning above canterlot as they all focus in on one point>
* Rylena (Mibbit@65.35.yrv.sw) has joined
<Sun_Beam> Think whatever you wish. It makes my life easier in any case.
* Morf is now known as aeox
<Gat> Well, in any case..
<Gat> I see something's mad, so i'll just end it with this: I'll make myself better, so you won't have to feel bad that Fleur's with me.
<Gat> ..And, also cuz I do need to put some spendin' money to the table. that'd be nice.
* Byakhee (IceChat9@35.11.zhj.nu) has joined
<Gat> So, uh...it was a nice chat.
<Sun_Beam> I do not feel bad that Fleur is with you.
<Sun_Beam> She is a grown mare, and a real mare at that.
<Sun_Beam> If she did not wish your presence she would simply kick your sorry posterior out her door. <.<
<Sun_Beam> I am quite pleased that the lady is happy for the time being...well, "happy".
<Sun_Beam> I will simply be more pleased to make her actually happy once you cease to do so.
* Gat copies sun beam's expression as he parrots..
<Gat> "Think whatever you wish. It makes my life easier in any case."
<Gat> ...Hehe, sorry, sorry.
<Gat> Okay, for real, I'll step up my game.
* Sun_Beam rolls his eyes
<Sun_Beam> I look forward to hearing about the attempt. --
