"We used 'em in the drinks sometimes." Attempting to veer off-subject as fast as he could, and that was pretty fast, he continued. "That's a very interesting story," he smiled. "Careful now...wrong impression and you won't be able to give her the gift later. You're a friendly griff, right, colt? Just let that come through and give her the best impression you can. Sane, if possible." "Somewhat back into business, does your company give back into the community in any way?"

"I see," Jubilee nods with a smile. "As for giving to the community, we mostly focus on making our products top-notch and making them somewhat cheaper here to draw business to other... well, businesses. We've also taken it upon ourselves to hire as many ponies that want a job. Keeps their hooves busy and puts bits in their hooves."

"An excellent practice," Blackhawk smiled broadly. "Very intelligent. And it seems to be working so far, too." He coughed a tad. "Just one more question, and then I'll be outta your pretty darn well-kept mane." The hippogriff looked extra somber for a second before bursting in on a cheerful disposition. "What's your favorite kind of cherry?"

Jubilee spreads her hooves. "What, you're asking me to choose? That'd be like asking a parent to choose their favorite child!" she says with a grin.

Blackhawk laughed but, true to his word, said nothing further.

He took a split-second's pause, or, for him, a few moments' reflection.

"That's funny. I don't feel so hurried anymore."

"Excuse me, but might I ask whether you sell cherries wholesale or only sell the products on?"

"We most certainly sell the cherries wholesale," Jubilee replies.

Appkes Tue Nov 27, 2012 9:07 pm

"Odd, I could have sworn the cherries I've purchased on my visit were different somehow to other cherries."

The Warrior of Many Faces Tue Nov 27, 2012 9:15 pm

Jubilee shrugs. "We're not the only cherry producers in Equestria. Where are you from? Maybe I can shed some light on the subject."

Brittle, though keeping one ear on the speech and conversation with Cherry jubilee, has had the time to think about the events during the tour so far.
Wow, I really let myself go didn't I? Sure, I had a lot of fun. The tour guide didn't seem to take it too well though...
Decicion made, he sets the door of the office he last saw their guide heading for and knocks
"Excuse me, miss... Serendipidy was it? Could I have a moment please?"

The Warrior of Many Faces Wed Nov 28, 2012 1:25 pm

"No," says Serendipity firmly.

kajisora Wed Nov 28, 2012 1:39 pm

"Very well, I just wanted to apologize for my behavior during the tour. I'm afraid I let my curiosity get the better of me.
Thank you for putting up with us for as long as you did..... I'll leave you alone now."
Brittle heads back to join the others. A glum look on his face.

Cheese put the down the Prospectus for a moment and heads to the office door as well. "I must apologize as well. Sometimes my mind goes on rather unexpected tangents."

The Warrior of Many Faces Wed Nov 28, 2012 6:12 pm

"If y'really want to apologize, stop talking to me so I can forget about you," she replies grouchily.

Cardbo Wed Nov 28, 2012 6:33 pm

Cheese heads back to the group and continues looking through the Prospectus.

AProcrastinatingWriter Wed Nov 28, 2012 7:47 pm

Blackhawk stifled another chuckle.

Cheese puts down the Prospectus for a moment. "I'm a little curious, Miss Jubilee. Do you think the vigilante will have any impact on your operations?"

OOC:Perception check. Looking to see how she reacts.

Cheese catches a very brief look of worried surprise before she puts on a wry grin and says, "He makes the streets safer, he doesn't make cherries grow. What do I care?"

Cardbo Fri Nov 30, 2012 2:33 am

"Just curious as to your opinion, thats all. Thank you."

Appkes Sun Dec 02, 2012 7:53 pm

"Listen, can we go now please? We're boring jubilee to death and the guide is emotionally scarred for life, so let's move on!"

Barabus was impatient. They'd found something suspicious about Cherry and the vigilante, but what they really needed was a chance to talk over all their recent findings where others wouldn't hear.

The crowd is indeed dispersing. Top Banana is conversing with Jubilee about possibly increasing their shipments of Jubilee Cherries, however.

Cardbo Sun Dec 02, 2012 9:43 pm

"The crowd seems to be dispersing. Observations?"

Brittle manages a weak smile
"I am not to be trusted near tour guides and thermite. And possibly robots"

"I do think that this Cherry Jubilee is too busy for our vigilante," whispered Zebulon.

"She does have the build for somepony who's been fighting crime, but not the body language. I don't think she's the vigilante either, but she knows something about him, though."

"On another note, do you either of you have either magic or medicine that can enhance memories? I remembered something about the buffalo back there. I think my memory has been erased, but I'm not sure by who, but I think a certain brown earth pony stallion with an hourglass QT mark may have had something to do with it. Or of course, I could be going crazy,... more so."

Brony 7 of 9 Sun Dec 02, 2012 10:17 pm

"If deep within your mind you wish to go I have medicine for your troubled mind," said Zebulon. "It may take time to properly prepare, and I can promise not what you will find."
