[People reading the journals may notice this big-eyed, cartoonish pony at the grocery store. Kind of an odd spot for a recording. Even stranger is the fact that the meat section isn't too far away.

Of course, Dash is keeping a bit of a distance as she rubs at the back of her neck and finally addresses the journals.]

Sooo... Luceti. Got any tips for caring for lions? That kid Simba's chilling with me and Pinkie Pie, buuut I know stuff like cupcakes, hay fries, and pop aren't exactly gonna work. See, if Fluttershy was still here, this wouldn't be as tricky, but usually lions don't go hanging around Ponyville.

I've been grabbing some meats for him, but like. Is there anything else I oughta know? A place like this isn't exactly tailored to big cats.

Which brings me to my next order of business. Back at the town meeting I brought up making this place more accessible for those of us without hands. Now, I can handle doorknobs and stuff with my hooves just fine, but that's not gonna fly for him. So... I was thinking maybe some of us could pool together mission points for some applied Shifts, just as an alternative. If anyone's interested, I mean.

So. Yeah. That's about it!

[With that, she closes the journal, tosses it into one of her saddle bags and begins her adventure into... shudder. The meat section.

Passersby are free to notice this candy colored pony flying back and forth between the shops and House 45.

Once she's gotten her shopping taken care of, she'll be performing some tricks right over the fountain plaza, filling the sky with rainbow streaks.]

We have yet to meet any of the Malnosso who are not human in appearance, so they likely do not understand.

So basically something that can be pushed from both inside the store and outside? That may well be able to be done. And likely will need an addition of something to secure the store, like a latch or bar. At least theft isn't an issue here normally, the doors are more to protect from the elements.

[Though something to secure it is the hard part, a latch or bar is good, but how to get in? May need another entrance entirely. He'll definitely have to check if the stores have a back entrance for the shopkeepers already to work with.]

[wannabolt]

Or maybe they just don't care. They probably know there are non hue-mans around. I mean, even Kin'cora had 'em.

But... hm. A latch could work for when they close up shop. I don't think that's really an issue for places like the item shop, though.

[eyesofstrength]

It is best to ensure there is a way to close up just in case. Situations can happen where we will need it and better to be prepared than to have to change things later. We wouldn't want this to cause trouble and give a reason for the humans to dislike any of the non-humans.

[wannabolt]

Yeah, no. Just because I'm head of the non hue-man club doesn't mean I've got anything against you guys. I'd rather there be no conflicts, personally. I just want things to be a little easier for us, that's all.

[eyesofstrength]

I can understand. For us non-humans who look human at least we can pass for a human enough to do things, but it would be very different for a lion cub and he still needs to eat.

I will see what I can do to get some plans made up within a week. Can I trust you to gain permission from the shopkeepers?

[wannabolt]

Yeah, I'll try and talk to 'em before we actually do anything about it. I just hope I can get in touch with 'em, 'cause it'll be a lot of work tracking them all down.

[eyesofstrength]

Then I'll handle the details of getting the doors made and installed. If I cannot handle it all myself then I'll see about seeking out the aid of the smithy or Brave Vesperia.

[wannabolt]

Sweet! I'll definitely keep you posted, once I get the word out.

[eyesofstrength]

I'll drop off a copy of the plans to look over for your approval soon. Is there a place I can bring them to?

[And he'll have them ready before going off to the mission and then be able to get started with making everything once he returns.]

[wannabolt]

Yeah, I'm hanging at house 45, so you can swing by any time.
