6th Rodeo [Voice/Action]
[It's early morning when Applejack is alive, awake, alert, and enthusiastic. After all, today is the day, and she's more than excited to bring a family tradition to Luceti. And so, bright and early, her message goes out over the journals:]
Hooo-ey! Well, it was a lotta work, but everythin's all ready, y'all! Cider Season is open! Anypony with a hankerin' for some fresh-made Apple Family cider, just come on down to the farmlands. We've got plenty ta start with an' Ah'll be workin' on makin' more through the day so we don't run out too fast.
[She chuckles.] Y'all might wanna hurry anyway, though. The cider always goes faster'n expected!
[And, true to her word, Applejack will be at a little stand on the path to the farmlands starting early morning and going until sundown. She's got a little cider press set up behind the stand, and has several bushels of apples ready to press down. Recipe for success, right?
Come and get it!]

But like the internet (may it rest in peace) that it superficially resembles, the journal system is fantastic at proving a distraction. And Jack doesn't have to go further than the most recent page before he feels a crooked grin crawling up one side of his face. The girl's icon is cute (a little orange horse! in a hat! with freckles!), and her voice is just amazing. He almost hopes she speaks that way all the time, and not simply when preparing a broadcast. He hesitates a moment, then fiddles with the journal until he gets to the voice reply.]
Cider sounds like just the thing, right now. Are you still at the tap?
[voice]
Sure am, sugarcube! Gonna be here all day, Ah'm thinkin'. [And she sounds perfectly content with that.] C'mon out if you're thirsty! We've got plenty'a mugs an' cider ta go around!

[Whether she can depends on convincing people that 'going out to get some and coming back' can qualify as 'resting'.
That or maybe Luke will bring her some later.]
Do you have enough help to make it at the farm?
[Voice]
[Modesty does not apply to Apple Family pride.]
Ah actually had more help here than Ah ever did back home with makin' it! Back home, it was just me an' my brother an' sister an' our Granny Smith. Seemed like everypony wanted ta chip in here!

Luckily for him, the caped dragon master also comes across Applejack's stand. ... Just what is she anyway? If he didn't know better he might think she was a Pokemon, but she clearly isn't.
So he and Dragonite walk up to the smell of apple cider.]
Hey there.
1/2
For just a second, she freezes completely still, eyes wide. Because dragons are usually bad news where she's from. Especially dragons double the height of the average pony.]
no subject
Eh...hehe. H-howdy! [Composure, AJ. This dragon is not trying to eat anypony. He's like a bigger Spike. She clears her throat.] Thirsty?

Spotting the pony, he waves to her and heads over with a big grin]
Morning Applejack. Reporting for Cider-Duty as ordered. What do you need me to do?
[Action!]
Mornin', Luke! Ah think Ah bucked down enough apples, an' Ah'm pretty sure they're all in good enough shape ta use, so all we've really got left is pressin' 'em into cider an' servin' it up. Sound good?

Hopefully I'm here early enough to help you prepare for the crowd.
[Action]
You're definitely in time ta help for that! Ah really appreciate it, by the way. This's a lot different from cider season with my family.

Voice.
Cider, eh? Not so familar.
Voice.
It's kinda like apple juice, only it's a li'l bit thicker an' it's got stronger flavor. If ya'd like, you're welcome ta try some.
Voice.

[What is this strange thing you speak of, Applejack? Miyabi's curious to try it - she's daring enough to try new and strange foods from other worlds (provided they're vegetarian friendly!), but she'll always go ahead and ask what it is first. Since she's never, ever heard of such a thing in her own world ever before.]
What's sai-dor? [Yeah, she's saying it wrong. Please, feel free to correct.]
[Voice]
Ci-der, sugarcube. It's kinda like apple juice, but it's also pretty diff'rent. The flavor's stronger an' there's more apple to it than just plain apple juice.
[Voice]

Yeah, typical Dash behavior right here.]
Hah! Looks like I made it before the big rush for once.
['Course, she's not here just for Cider. Naw.]
[action]
2. Way too excited.
3. Weird accent.
The thought of homemade autumn anything overrules all of those. Raven heads to the farmlands to get some cider. Even though that means she'll hover at a distance from the stand for a while working out what is up with the talking horse.
She's seen them before here, and everything. Just hasn't much talked to one.]
[Action]
Cider sounds lovely. It's always my favorite fall drink.
[Action]
Oh, my, is it? I'm glad we could go get some together, then!
(no subject)
Sorry! Life got abruptly hectic.

...And then I lost my voice and thus ability to RP.
It happens! Take your time. <3
Thanks, man. <3
