The stall was covered in small amplifiers and turntables, as well as a couple of crates of records, all dusty and seemingly unplayed.
“Hey! Anything you like the look of?” The mare asks brightly, pulling off her headphones, from which loud electronic music plays.
“Just browsing.”
“Trying to sell some of this junk so I can get the new T-260 dual directional desk.” She paused. “I mean... this not-junk.” her facade fell short.
“I’m only like 200 bits away! My roommate isn’t exactly happy about me getting it, but I went along to that stupid solo concert thing, so it’s only fair! Can you believe they played just a cello for three hours!?” She pauses, realising she’s lost you, and tries to pull herself out of her rambling.
“Sorry. I’m Vinyl Scratch. Don’t think I’ve seen you before, although I don’t go outside all that often.” She snickers to herself, picking out one of the records and looking at it.
“Yeah, I just got here. I’m supposed to be working with Twilight Sparkle.”
“Oh really? The Princess? You must be pretty fancy, huh?” She looks up at you, scratching her side.
“Not really. She was looking for assistants, so I just applied. Figured it’s an interesting job at least.”
“Hm. You know... I’ve kinda been looking for somepony to help me out with this little sting I’ve got planned.”
“Uh... sting?”
“Well, my roommate, Octavia, has more money than I do. She does fancy parties in Canterlot and stuff, but there’s no way she’d give me 200 bits for a turntable. however.. She’s also been saying that I make too much mess at home, and how she wants to hire a cleaner, sooooo...”
She nods suggestively, but you’re not really following.
“So, if I got her to hire somepony like you as a cleaner, you could secretly siphon the money to me, taking a cut for yourself, of course, and I could have the T-260 in no time! It’s genius, right?”
“Uh... you want me to be your cleaner?”
“Well, no, it’s important that it’s Tavi who hires you, but if you could come back to our house and show her how good you are at tidying, I’m sure she’d hire you! I mean, if you really want to still do that whole Twilight gig, I won’t stop you, but if you help me out with this, I can share some of my food with you too! I know the best veggie chilli dog place! Think of it as a chance to see the real nitty gritty of Ponyville!”
