Oreo couldn't help but laugh. Sliding across the floor like that looked like such fun!
She felt some of her reservedness fall away and took another step into the nursery to watch as the white pony skidded one way, then the other.

Kails eyes widdened as she watched Swirl slide across the floor - she couldn't help it, and she started laughing hard, tears coming from the sides of her eyes. Swirl didn't seem the type.
Sherbet climbed off Kails back and slid to the ground, wanting to join Swirl in the fun. She took a running start and lept, landing on the ground and sliding across the room - the nursery had been tiled in the front of the building to keep muddy little feet from messing a carpet. "This is fun!" she squealed in delight before slidding right into Swirl.
Freon chuckled to himself and shook his head during the antics. Finally, when Sherbet crashed into the other he decided it was time to calm the place down. "Kail, I hate to inturupt playtime, but would it be possible for Oreo to stay here? She just moved from Course and doesn't have anyplace to stay."
Kail wiped the tears from her eyes and turned to Oreo with a smile, "that right? Moved here from Course? My parents are from Course - we would love to have you here."

Oreo smiled widley. Another Coursian, even if not directly. It was nice to meet someone who at least knew where she had come from, even if she (Oreo) wasn't of coursian blood. She remembered the look on Freon's face when she said she was from Course, and his question about wheather it was even a real place. She smiled. "Thank you so much."
The nursery was warm, and the front tiled area slightly wet from melted snow. Consitering she had about three dollars to live on until February she was very happy for Kail's hospitality.
She slipped her small pack (containing now only a book, a soaked deck of cards and her art journal) off and set it by the door.
Speaking (or thinking, rather) of February and her only leftover coins.....
"Is there a plce in town I might be able to find a job?" she asked.

Kail smiled warmly, "no problem, thats why Swirl and I opened the nursery, so we would have a place to live, as well as others."
For the job she had to think a moment, "well, you could always try the Cafe' they are usually busy and looking for help. Many places are still rebuilding though, so not too many jobs to be found just yet. Oh, try Rootie Tootie's old place - it was turned into a coffee shop and bookstore and I think only Rootie works there."
(Rootie is currently on hiatus, but if you talk to Jon I bet he would let you work there)

((Yeah, Oreo, your character could get a job at Novel Ideas, Rootie is on hiatus, but I'll have her pop up every once in a while. ^_^ Actually, having someone besides myself be in her storyline might actually make me bring her out of hiatus!))

Suddenly, an orange blur slid right into Kail, almost knocking her over. Kail reached down with her wings and put the little pony on her back, "and here I thought you were all excited to go shopping - but if you would rather slide around the floor..."
Sherbet's eyes widdened, she had forgotten about shopping, "no, no! Let's go shopping! I want gifts!"
Kail laughed and set her on the floor, at which point the little explosion of energy ran to get her coat, boots, and scarf, pulling the hood up on her coat so that all you could see of her was a little orange muzzle and a multi-colored tail. "Im ready!"
Kail smiled and looked at the rest of the bunch in the nursery's front room, "would any of you like to come along?"

"Oreo, would you like to come along, or would you like some help getting settled? I'm not sure how much of the town you've seen..."

Oreo thought about it for a few minutes. She wanted to see the town so badly, but between the journey from Ponyland to Ponyville, the sudden cold, warm, cold, then warm again - she was exhasted.
"Actually," she said. "If I could just get some sleep. Maybe tomorrow I'll be up and ready to be about, but I'm really tired.
(OOC: I'm gonna be gone for a couple days, so she'll just take a good rest til I'm back. -_^ And thanks Jon! expect a visit from Oreo in a few days.....)

"Well," Kail said as Oreo answered, "there are a bunch of free cots upstairs - Freon can show you around if you need help finding anything."
Freon nodded and smiled at Oreo warmly.
"We shouldn't be gone too long," Kail continued, as if giving directions to a babysitter, although she was in effect the baby sitter for this little trip. Kail put on a scarf and a nice warm coat before throwing a last smile to Oreo and Freon and opening the door.
"So where to first Explosion?"

Swirl gave everyone a big smile, then picked up some dirty mugs.
"Everyone go on, go on. I'll catch up when I'm all bundled. It will take a while."

"To the Holiday Store! We need decorations!" Sherbet bounced around in her bundle of coats and probably fell, but it was too hard to tell.
"To the Holiday Store it is then! Go ahead and meet us there Swirl." Kail gave a little wave and went out the door, the little orange bundle following.
(To be continued at Jol's shop)

Swirl finished cleaning up, giving in to the occasional ice-skating like slide now and again. After all, life should be fun whenever possible.
She mulled over how she missed the hot weather, and how nicely Ponyville had helped itself out of it's troubles. Sure, she'd been able to organize aide, but the kindhearted residents had been the real heros. That was exactly as things should be, and she was content to realize it. It seemed likely that she would be on a new assignment before the year was out, unless she decided to stay here longer.
Swirl checked in on Freon and Oreo, doing her best to help Oreo feel settled and welcome. Then she bundled up in her layers and set out, carrying a bag of useful houselhold items for Themis should she happen to spot her.
(cont. um, somewhere, but then Season's Greetings)
