Rose Rebellion huffed out in frustraition, plopping herself down on the side of the street in an almost child-like tempertantrum-ish manner. "Figures... the first day I'm out in town and I manage to get myself lost. This is terrific.," she muttered to the ground. She rest a head on one hoof contemplating what she was to do. Originally she had her heart set on seeing the new music store that had opened up, but by the looks of it... She snorted once mored in frustraition. Guess it's time to get up and ask directions. So Rose began to search for another pony who knew the way.

Coming out of the door of the Cafe, Roxanne decided she needed a little exercise and broke into a quick trot around the block back towards her theater.
Rounding the corner of a building, she came to a clattering halt at the sight of a brilliantly scarlet pony seated on the curb.
"Galloping Gershwin, you nearly tipped me right over there, lassie!" She proclaimed, and squinted at the mare. "What a color you've got going, you could make a pony's blood pale for shame. I don't believe I've seen you before - are you one of the new crowd in Ponyville?"

The moment Rose heard the exclamation of the other her atitude changed. Her lips widened into a grin of half amusement of the way the other talked, and half in relief that someone was there to get directions from. "I guess you can say I'm apart of the new crowd. I just moved into Ponyville a week ago, and it's my first real day in town.," she replied, and then adding a little sheepishly," I sort of got myself lost." She laughed at it after she said it. Rose regained herself however, "I'm sorry for being rude, I'm Rose Rebellion. And you are?"

Roxanne grinned right back at the mare. She seemed like a nice enough gal, not as shifty or airheaded as some of the other new types in town.
"Lost, eh? Somewhere between that end of the street -" she pointed with a hoof - "and the other end of the street?" she pointd in the opposite direction and laughed. Ponyville's main drag was so familiar to her that she really didn't understand how anyone could get lost. But that didn't matter.
"I'm just joshin' ya, girl. Pleased to make your acquaintance, you haven't been a bit rude!" Roxy held out a hoof to shake. "Rose Rebellion... nice name, got a real flashy ring to it. But are you sure it shouldn't be Bright Blinding Red Rebellion instead?" She winked. "Nah, doesn't roll off the tongue the same way. But seriously, I haven't seen a red pony in years, it's quite a welcome change.
"My name's Roxanne." She nodded across the street to her empty marquee. "I'm the owner of the Center Stage Theater."

"Lost, eh? Somewhere between that end of the street -" she pointed with a hoof - "and the other end of the street?" she pointd in the opposite direction and laughed. Rose followed her general direction. She chuckled at herself. "I suppose it is kind of a one road.," she said to herself in half embarassment. "I'm just joshin' ya, girl. Pleased to make your acquaintance, you haven't been a bit rude!" Roxy held out a hoof to shake. Rose didn't bother to hesititate when she put her own hoof forward and accepted the shake. She's got a good grip to her. After the shake she flipped a peice of white hair out of her face. "Rose Rebellion... nice name, got a real flashy ring to it. But are you sure it shouldn't be Bright Blinding Red Rebellion instead?" She laughed. Bright Blinding Red Rebellion! Sounds like something dad would try and name me. But of course mom would've been against that. Her smiled widened as the other winked. "Nah, doesn't roll off the tongue the same way. But seriously, I haven't seen a red pony in years, it's quite a welcome change." Come to think of it, I don't really know any other red pony either. "My name's Roxanne." She nodded across the street to her empty marquee. "I'm the owner of the Center Stage Theater." Instantly Rose became interested. When she was younger her parents took her to see theater productions. "Really? I love the theater! I used to go to the plays all the time when I was back in Dream Valley. What production are you currently working on?" All thoughts of the music store when out the window.

[OOC: *blinks and grins* Whoa, what's RR doing and what part of that is repeated from my post? Getting a touch confused here ; ) ]
Roxanne was quite pleased at the newcomer's interest in her theater. "Fabulous, darling, maybe you can come by some time and I'll show you around! But we're inbetween seasons right now, so as you can see there's no shows, no posters up, nada.
"Actually..." Roxy had thought of a better idea. "I've just come out of the cafe, where I was telling a bunch of the townsfolk about a big theater cleanup I'm holding this Saturday. The whole place needs a good spiffing up, floor to ceiling, dressing rooms to lobby, you get the picture - and so I'm having a grand old party to get ponies to come by and help out. It'd be simply mahvelous if you could drop by then!" Roxy put on her cheesiest, most winning smile. "And besides, that's the day I'll be announcing next season's lineup - one drama, one comedy, one musical - and maybe another surprise or two to boot.
"And if you're new, it'd probably be a good way to meet the Ponyville population!"

(OOC: sorry, I kind of copy and pasted your dialogue to respond to. ^_^() )
Rose frownd the moment she heard 'inbetween seasons'. Oh darn. Go figure. Ah well, at least now I know they have a theater. "That's too bad."
"Saturday and a clean up. Well, looks like I picked a good time to move here." The moment Roxy threw that 'winning smile' was enough to make any bodies day. "You can difinitely expect me to show up. However I am a bit sick of cleaning my own home up, you know, unpacking and all. But I will show up, you can be sure of that.," she said. Which reminds me, I still have a bunch of boxes just shoved in the basement. Bleh, unpacking is evil.
"Hmm, so a drama, comedy, and musical.," she thought outloud," You've got a very evened out line up." I wonder if she's all ready done A Midsummer Night's Dream? Hamlet would be nice too. Of course, the world isn't made up of all William Shakespony. Rose shifted her bag to her other forearm, and glanced down at the watch. She was begining to have drawbacks on getting a job in at the Bloomin' Blossoms. Well the main point on coming to town was to get a job. And I can't just loaf around on this. "Roxy, do you know of anywhere that's got job openings?"

"Well, every theater has to have a break now and then. I've been rawther enjoying my time off." Roxanne bobbed her head in pleasure when Rose said she would drop by. "Splendid! Well, y'know, you don't have to scrub and dust and vaccuum - there's always sorting out the prop room, posting head shots and production photos on the walls, filing and such... and Cotton Candy's going to cater, she's a great cook so the nosh will be surefire good.
"We start at 8 - at least, I start at 8, you can come by anytime. We'll go 'till we're done." She rolled her eyes heavenwards for a moment in acknowledgement of the great amount of time the cleanup could take.
"Yep, an even three shows per year is the Ponyville Players' tradition. They're my resident theater company, and the actors all like having different styles to choose from in a single season."
Roxanne noticed the other pony shifting slightly, and shut herself up as she realized how much she had been chattering about her beloved theater. She listened carefully to Rose's question and tapped on hoof against the sidewalk seriously.
"Openings? Crikey. Owning my own establishment kinda puts job hunting out of my mind, thank the Fates. Honestly I haven't heard anything about positions around town, but really I rarely do because I never inquire. Your best bet would be to pick a few places you like the look of and simply ask - but I'm sure you knew that already.
"What kinds of activities are you interested in? Maybe I can point you in some kind of direction."

"I normally wake up at 8," she responded," so you should be seeing my shortly after you get started. I'm an early bird."
"As for activities, I'm very much into gardening. My back yard will be blooming quite soon, by the way.," Rose replied," I was considering trying to apply at Bloomin' Blossoms today because I would've loved to work in the green house. But she seemed offly busy when I went to apply." (OOC: I never see her on to reply to posts, otherwise I might be hired ^_^() ) Rose looked around to get a glimpse at the stores around her. "Besides gardening I do like animals, but who doesn't. Umm, lest's see... I do like to draw, but my main love and interest is working with flowers. I used to make a lot of flower arrangments at Dream Valley for friends. Hmm, that's all I can think of."

"Fantabulous, I'll be glad to have you, babe!"
Roxanne listened with a concerned expression. "Yeah, Bloomin' Blossoms would be the way to go, or maybe Tails N' Whiskers for animals. Honestly I'd say go back to Meadowbrook and just be persistent. Nothing an employer likes better than enthusiasm in an applicant!
"Seriously kid, good luck to ya. You seem real competent and friendly and all that rot." Roxy cracked a smile.
[OOC: Strange, WyndMeadowBrook is online and posting right now... maybe you should try again? I guess she's being sporadic.]

(OOC: All right, let's go hop over to Blossoms then ^_^)
"Yah, I was thinking Bloomin' Blossoms was the way to go to.," she said, taking the other's advice and keeping it in mind. Persistance, gee, why didn't I think of that? She gave another glance to her watch. "Well, I probably should be heading back over there.," she gave another quick look around," I think I can manage without loosing myself." She laughed again at how still rediculous it was that she got lost on the 'one street'. "Well I'll see you around, and I'll be there on Saturday, Roxy. And thanks.," she turned around and started heading back off towards Bloomin' Blossoms, but before she was out of site, she waved back to the other.
(con. at Bloomin' Blossoms)

Roxanne gave Rose a parting smile. "No problem darling, break a leg, and I'll see you on Saturday!"
She nodded thoughtfully and trotted off towards her theater.
