Chiselle gave a slight nod and began walking down a path towards the woods, Coin kept up alongside her. 'Okay, so the tension between us needs to be addressed, but I can't just spring it on her. Hmmm...'"So how are things going at the store?" "Oh, things are going alright. Not a millionaire yet, but staying afloat. Your figurines are selling alright. How's your business?" "Still haven't made it into the Canterlot Art Museum, but I guess it's doing pretty good. I have enough bits saved up to where I don't need to take commissions right now. Instead I'm just working on one of my own projects, well trying to anyways." The two mares walked into the woods, there Chiselle unstrapped herself from the cart. "I'll take care of the lower parts of the tress if you'll handle the higher up parts," she suggested. |

"...Am I supposed to know who Mr. Snippy Pony is? I don't let my bedmates talk to me like that, let alone a total stranger." He smoothed his mane back. "He's clearly on those uptight types...I like uptight types..." Another flash of magic pulled Page back away from his prey by his tail. "No. Bad Page!" He flashed a weary smile at the Page's latest target. "Sorry Fern, you'll have to... avoid Page. He has a thing for... well... any male with a pulse honestly." Digitalis' door opened. The doctor had a wide smile on his face, but his posture was even stiffer than usual. "Gentlecolts, gentlecolts, please come in!" he beckoned, "You wouldn't want to freeze out here, would you? Heh! Speaking of I've got a stallion in my treatment area I just found him on my porch and he still hasn't woken up, it's a loooot of work! Ha ha! Between this, my job, and the Wrap-Up work, I could be at this for days." |

Between this, my job, and the Wrap-Up work, I could be at this for days." "Uhh Doc," Flux started, concerned at the sudden and very stiff arrival of a very stressed Digitalis. "That's actually what we're here about." "You see, Page here found your new case in a snow bank and, in his infinite wisdom, dropped him on your doorstep like so much newspaper. We came to make sure he wasn't... well... dead." |

"Not yet," the stallion in question said as he trotted out of the treatment room. Behind him, he rolled an EKG stand, connected to his chest by several wires. It beeped softly and emitted a small amount of acrid-smelling smoke. "I can't remember the last time I've felt this chilly, though. I feel like I've been laying passed out in the cold for weeks!"
He rotated the EKG stand around, revealing that the back of the casing had been crudely hacked off. Some of the circuitry inside was glowing a dull orange.
"Fortunately, I was able to convert this heart monitor into a space heater. Made the room nice and comfy, and it doesn't even need to be plugged in. It runs off of the electrical impulses of my heartbeat!" The stallion turned the stand back around, showing the monitor tracing his heartbeat. "I just have to make sure I don't turn it up too high, or my heart will stop."
The stallion looked at Flux, standing in Digitalis' doorway and shivered. "Would you mind closing that door? You're letting in a draft. Actually..."
The stallion turned a knob on the EKG. "Ahh, that's better," he said. And then the heartbeat tracing went flat, and the stallion planted his face on Digitalis' floor.
After a moment, the EKG stand caught fire.

"...Okay, you can't prove that was my fault! He was perfectly fine when we got here. I'm innocent of any wrongdoing! I'll get the legal books out of storage to prove it!"
Page was suddenly panicking, throwing snow at the now on fire machine.
"Why is this not putting it out!?"

Page was suddenly panicking, throwing snow at the now on fire machine. "Why is this not putting it out!?" Fern was frozen. He stood there, all while Page was yelling words that didn't quite reach his ears. His eyes were locked on the flames, watching them burn... ...which is when he went completely nuts. In an instant, Fern grabbed the nearest thing he could use to put out the fire, which was rather unfortunate for Page, as he was standing just a bit too close. "PROTECT THE TREES!" Fern yelled, as he hurled Page onto the blazing machine. Luckily for Page, he landed hard on the smoldering mechanism with enough force to put out the inferno. Fern let out a sigh of relief, before realizing what he'd done. "Uh... sorry..." |

The trees will have been just fine without you tossing me...though it is rather impressive you managed to toss me like that. You must be rather...strong..." He wiggled his eyebrows at him. "...Wanna come over for some cocoa?" |

"...Wanna come over for some cocoa?" Digitalis came running in from the back with a bucket of powder. "Okay, okay, it's fine it's just an electrical fire nopony try water I've- Oh." He set the bucket down and looked Fern over, looking for all the world like a giant, highly-educated squirrel. "Y-you're fine. You'll be fine. ... Great!" His voice sounded sincere, but his smile seemed a bit less genuine. Suddenly, he gasped. " Page! Are you hurt? Oh, Heavens, you should stay here so I can examine you. I really think-" Night Life, wearing a pink wig and sporting a thick French accent, tossed a cheap grooming kit in Page's direction. "Oh, cher cousin, you are so 'igh strung! I tell you, this, euh, Équéstrien mountain air is trés malsain!" |

He wiggled his eyebrows at him. "...Wanna come over for some cocoa?" Flux would have been concerned about any other pony, but this was Page. He'd endured enough kitchenware being flung his direction by angry mares that Flux was certain he'd built up a tolerance. "Well look at that Page," he said, indicating his tail. "You're positively flaming." Digitalis came running in from the back with a bucket of powder. "Okay, okay, it's fine it's just an electrical fire nopony try water I've- Oh." He set the bucket down and looked Fern over, looking for all the world like a giant, highly-educated squirrel. "Y-you're fine. You'll be fine. ... Great!" His voice sounded sincere, but his smile seemed a bit less genuine. Suddenly, he gasped. " Page! Are you hurt? Oh, Heavens, you should stay here so I can examine you. I really think-" Through all this Flux was doing his best to get the Doctor's attention and calm him down. "Now now Doc, I'm sure it's fine. You don't seem yourself today. What's the-" "Oh..." was all he could manage. |

I've spent the last couple of days racking my brain to come up with some inspiration, but I got nothing. I'm sure something will come sooner or later. Have you gotten your Spring stock in yet?" |

What's the-" "Oh..." was all he could manage. With the EKG destroyed and his electrical impulses stored, the stallion stirred back to life. Still woozy, he rose on unsteady hooves. His attention whipped from pony to pony. "What happened?" he asked. "Did I wrap up winter? Why is it so cold in here? Why are you on fire?" He turned to Night Life and shook her hoof. "Hello. I'm Steel Glint and I have no idea where I am." |

"You're in the residence of a rather frazzled doctor."
Page smoothed his mane back, ignoring the weird pony in the wig.
"I dragged your insane carcass here after your gizmo exploded in the woods."

Steel Glint frowned. "A gizmo exploded in the woods? That doesn't really narrow it down." He ticked options off on a hoof. "Could have been my manticore repellent ray, my sylvan fae detector, my lumber spiders, my reciprocating - wait!" he exclaimed. "The de-winterizer!" He looked from pony to pony. "I still might be able to repair it! You've got to help me find it!"

"Oh yes. Heads would roll if I did not. Even if I had to close the shop to go and roll the aforementioned heads myself." She thought for a moment. "Maybe a sculpture relating to nature or seasons?" |
