Main Quest - Welcome To Ponyville.

Sweetie rushes forward towards a odd shape building. Opening it without a care, the door bell chimed as she enters "Rarity! I'm home, I brought guests!~" she called out into the the shop. She looks around seeing her sister isn't in the front. "She's in the back, so i guess i see if she isn't too busy" she told the others as she walks in, going into the other room as Ciri and the rest entered. Cirilia noted the door was big enough for someone 5 feet tall so she had no issue coming in. She looked around . Seeing the pony mannequins, she gawked as she goes over inspecting them. Her eyes sparkling in wonder. "These must have worth a fortune. Are these real gems?" she look closer without touch as she sees the gleaming gemstones attached to the outfit.

"Yeah, Rarity uses gems for her dresses. And yeah her dresses are abit pricey but they're not too expensive, ah mean Rarity uses the common gems anyway." Applebloom explained. Seeing her shocked look "Are gems rare where you come from?"

"Not exactly 'rare' but they're not easy to come by and are considered valuable and expensive. This looks like amethyst" she lean closer to look at it. "Where i'm from an Amethyst would fetch atleast 120 crowns or so, depending on how cheap the merchant is." she grumbles at that. "A flawless gem is worth twice that amount." she explained to them.

"Woah, that is alot. Crowns? is that what money from your place is called? Weird" Scootaloo said as they then hear the door open, as a pristine white unicorn mare steps out followed by Sweetie Belle, her mane and tail seemingly styled purposely and elegantly. Her mark is of three gemstones on both flanks.

"Welcome to Carousel Boutique, where everything is chic, unique and mani- oh my, Sweetie was right. You're a new one. Hello da-" she took a good look at her and shriek. "Darling, you're clothes look dirty!"

Looking at herself. "Oh my apologies, i had been traveling through a swamp recently. " she checks her shoes. "Oh dear.. im sorry i track mud into your establishment ma'am" she wiped her feet on the rug.

"Stop, let me. Come inside, i'll lend you my bathroom so you can get clean." She ushered and insisted Ciri inside. "It be a shame to keep that marvelous gambeson dirty. "

"You know it's a gambeson?" Ciri tries to resist but gave up and follows Rarity inside, she unstrap her sword and putting it on the desk. "Don't touch" she told the Crusader. who looked up and pointed at themselves innocently. "I mean it girls"

"She's right, Sweetie Belle.. don't make me catch you three playing with that dangerous weapon. And don't dilly dally now young lady. Strip off that dirty thing, i can wash it for you as you bathe." Rarity's horn glow opening the door for her, which Ciri ducked in as she first take her gloves off and begin removing her chain mail first. "My word, a chainmail vest? That's brilliant. So are you in a guard darling?"

Ciri went behind the privacy screen to continue to undress "Well, no. I'm a Witcher, I help people with problems for gold, mainly monster problems" she said as she steps into went into the bathtub, looking around "where's the basin?"

Rarity gathered her clothes "oh, let me." with her magic she turn the knob in the shower, letting the hot water to shoot out causing Ciri to yelp in surprised. Blinking as she cup her hand, feeling the water.

"It's warm." she splashes herself "This feels amazing!" she begun to rub her body, getting the warm water everywhere causing Rarity to giggle. "I'll see what i have that can fit you in the meanwhile. The towel is on the rack, and don't worry bout using the shampoo darling." She told her as she exits with the dirty armor to clean it off leaving Ciri to clean in peace.

After the shower, she was able to turn it off by twisting the knob. She dried herself off seeing that Rarity left her undergarments, she put them on as she kept the towel wrapped her still drying body. She left the room as she stretches calling out "Thank you again miss!". Meeting the unicorn as she was searching for something for Ciri to wear.

"Think nothing of it darling and call me Rarity, Miss makes me feel old" she giggles herself. She floats her work glasses over measuring tape. "I don't have anything on hoof, but i guess i have to tailor you something simple and quick for now. Stand still."

Ciri obeyed as she let Rarity measured her. before she watches her leave to work. She start grabbing fabrics and spool of yarn. Ciri watches as she brings a machine that seems to help sewing by the look of the needle. She watches in awe. Hugging the towel close to her as she sat where the sun can shine hoping the sunlight can help dry her off. "Never in my life i see fine manipulation of magic like this."

"Hmm? its simple levitation darling, now hush. I'll finish this in a jiff" she hums as she continued to work on Ciri's temporary clothes.

Sometime later, Cirilia left the Boutique wearing a form fitting sundress shirt covering her body completely, the white fabric hugged her body snugly as she tugs on the elbow length sleeve. Before she adjust the strap of her sword scabbard. "Thanks again Rarity" She smiled, she was also wearing short pants, only going down her knees. It have to do for now. She went off ahead as the Crusaders went on to do their own thing, she doesn't mind. She wants to explore herself. First order of business is some food. She recall the girls saying Sugarcube Corner and told her where to find it so she headed there.

As She walked through town, giving reassuring smiles at any ponies she passed by. Some are still wary but reciprocate her greeting with their own. She didn't notice a look of surprised in one of the normal looking ponies and her mint green unicorn companion's grinning face and awed gleam in her eyes nor hear her mutter to herself. Nor see the the earth pony groan and facehoof. She stopped when the notice board caught her eye, she made a short detour reading them over. Still surprised she was able to read the text but at the same time knew its a different language.

One caught her eye, a help wanted AD for 'muscle' to protect a delivery cart later that afternoon. That's perfect for her, she snatches the paper from the board, rolling it up and pocketing it away. Her stomach then growled causing her to blush in embarrassment remembering her hunger she quicken her pace towards the sugercube corner.

She looked up seeing the gingerbread like house as she neared. "Huh, they are right on the design. This reminds me of the fairy tale." she giggles. She reach towards the door, opening it. She noticed it looked empty and slightly dark. "Hello?" she called out as she stepped in. Knowing it's open as the door wasn't locked "Anyone he-" before she utter that question as she reached further inside. The lights came on suddenly and an echoing shout.

"SURPRISE!"
