{!!} – Oh...! It would appear that somebody had successfully overridden the speaker system inside the Daycare. Sundrop glanced up towards the speakers playing the errant melody, and he had been about to call for maintenance to look into it, but something about the upbeat tune appeared to hinder him from making the call. As the song progressed, Sundrop began to move his body to the beat - a slow jig in place at first, which then progressed into a straight-up boogie. This song seemed to please him in some rhythmic sense! Besides, the Daycare wasn’t quite ready to open for the day yet. Nobody would know if he just let it play one time...! ❝Do-do-do-dodo-dooo--❞

{!!} – If there was one thing that Sundrop had been designed to do, it was to notice everything. Surveillance had been an integral part of his programming, his internal operating system equipped with such outstanding, state-of-the-art AI that it was rare for any kind of occurrence to escape his observation. Whatever could be seen, was seen. Whatever could be heard, was heard. You can bet your bottom dollar that if it was happening within the open hours of the Daycare, that Sundrop would be immediately alerted to it.

Of course, having such responsive and capable AI also meant that he was programmed to keep the place tidy, clean, and as free of clutter as robotically possible. Today had been a quiet day at Superstar Daycare, but Sundrop had been taking great delight in making pillow forts with the few children that were left there. Still, he was left with surprisingly little to do as far as general maintenance went, so when his sensors picked up on the four balls that had been removed from the ball pit, Sundrop was there the second little Mary’s back was turned. In fact, by the time it took for her to turn around and look behind her for her fallen bow, Sundrop had already returned the loose balls to the pit and retrieved her pretty bow from right in front of her. ❝Looking for this?❞ He leapt out of the ball pit, a mechanical arm dangling her accessory from nimble fingers, ❝I saw ya lose it at the other side of the ball pit!❞ Sundrop was wearing his signature smile as he expertly pinned the bow back into her wondrous locks of hair. ❝We can’t have ya running around without your bow now, can we, sunshine?!❞ The animatronic patted her fondly on the head, ❝C’mon!! Let’s play a game! What do ya wanna do next, huh? Do ya wanna play dress-up? You look like you would make a great Princess!❞

✧ ☾  Well, Mary certainly had a time trying to get out of the ball pit of the daycare of the pizzaplex. So much so that when she finally climbed out and stood up, as she was smoothing out her dress, four balls from the pit fell out of her petticoat and onto the daycare floor. Checking her low platforms for any scuffs, and luckily there was none. Then she reached up to feel the top of her head and frowned. Her bow was gone. 

Looking back at the ball pit, she couldn’t see it on top either, did it get lost?  Carefully she stepped over to the edge and looked around worried. What if it sunk to the bottom and she was unable to get it? She couldn’t go back in not dressed like that.  And the other kids didn’t seem to care, they were too busy fussing about with one another.

Oh, good! He’s glad that the whole appearance matched the personality! The enthusiasm was honestly contagious, and he could feel himself getting pumped up about this.

ꕥ・ﾟ* “Your little sun tip things! They could all be different colors to make a rainbow…!” But now that he said that, another thought just hit him immediately, that long tail behind him wagging excitingly. “You know–because suns make rainbows too! It’s like the perfect idea, dude! Are you down for it?” Please say yes!

{!!} – It was only fleeting moments before Sundrop was excitably mirroring Kamilo’s wagging, despite not having an actual tail to wag. He hadn’t realised it himself, but he had somewhat of a proclivity for action mimicry. Maybe, it just helped him feel more at level with the person he was speaking to at the time.

Sundrop seemed enthralled at the idea, if not a little impressed by the correlation Kamilo had made. ❝Wow, you’re right! We should DEFINITELY do that -- but with what? We have felt-tips and paint, would - would any of those do the trick? I mean, you’re the artist here! What do you think, Kamilo?❞

fallenpupil​:

Many had pondered that question whenever they observed Sunset and her actions. Plenty of rumors had started as a result. Some say she must come from a terrible upbringing. Or maybe her parents never loved her. The truth was far weirder than any rumor could guess though considering Sunset was a pony in the body of a human. A once powerful pony who’s power was able to impress the all-powerful ruler of her magical home. She saw herself as destined to ascend the throne and one day become just as strong as that ruler. Now? She was just a human jerk stuck in a weak and magicless body. Is it any wonder Sunset has devolved into such a nasty fiend?

Sunset visibly winced at the sound of his joints clicking and whirring. Why did she have get stuck here? It’s like life just hated her for some reason! She should’ve been put with the much cooler animatronics! At least then she could enjoy her shift a little easier without having to look at this thing some more. Admittedly she’s getting a little worried now as he seems to be getting genuinely angry over this and she doesn’t want to have to deal with the boss afterwards.

The girl lets out a sigh as she crosses her arms.

“I don’t have friends. Listen, I…I’m sorry. I’ve been having a rough week and all that. I’ll just go over there and stand guard so I’ll be out of your way.” Or more accurately he’ll be out of hers.

{!!} – Oh...so, she didn’t have friends, huh? He was beginning to see the problem, and while it was surely very sad to know the truth behind her bitterness, it was also enlightening, because now he had something to work with. The poor woman was so used to being rejected and feeling outcast that she had learned to push others away in defence. If only she could see that ostracising herself wasn’t the answer. Not everybody was out to get her, and Sundrop intended on helping her see it.

The animatronic let her sulk for now. About an hour passed, and as the kids were huddled around the table with brightly coloured wax crayons and washable felt-tip pens in their hands, scribbling contentedly and babbling amongst themselves, Sundrop approached Sunset Shimmer when she least expected it, tapping her on the shoulder and smiling hopefully. In his hand, he held out towards her a vivid rendition of her linking hands with him, surrounded by the smiling Daycare kids and standing under a rainbow, with the caption: ‘friends forever’ written in a gaudy shade of violet.

❝I made this for you, Sunset! I know you don’t think that you have any friends...but ya do now! Us!❞ He glanced back over his shoulder at the children drawing happily, one or two of them waving back at them with perky smiles on their little faces. ❝See? I’m sorry I got mad at you earlier, Sunset...I just didn’t understand why you were acting the way you were, but now I do! Everyone is waiting for you, Sunset! We’d really love it if you’d come over to draw with us...!❞ He urged her to take the drawing from his hands, tilting his head at her optimistically. ❝Pretty pleeeease...?❞

She wasnt lying! This daycare place was such an enjoyable area to spend time in- it reminded her a bit of her old home. And not to mention Sun was a genuinely fun guy to be around! The chicken smiled as the daycare attendant responded with mutual agreement. Though she couldn’t contain her excitement at the mention of friendship bracelets-

“ Oh my gosh really?! I’ve never had one made for me before! ” A loud squeal left her as she quickly stood up. “ Oh! Oh! I’ll make one for you too!! Quick- what’s your favorite color?! ”

daycarenightmare:

─── ･ ｡ﾟ ☁ : *. ☀ .* ☁ ｡ﾟ . ───

{!!} – ❝Of course!! Every good friend deserves a friendship bracelet!❞ Sundrop was practically brimming with undisciplined enthusiasm as he hurried to fetch the clear, plastic boxes filled up with colourful beads of all different shapes and sizes, and then unfastened the child-safe locks on each side. How exciting! Making friendship bracelets with Chica! He might even make her two...

An excitable gasp when she began to wing through the multicoloured myriad of beads alongside him. Like he really needed any more encouragement... 

❝Yellow! NO, orange! No!! RAINBOW!!❞ He eventually settled, giggling breathlessly, ❝Rainbow, definitely rainbow!!❞

♡ “Oh Sundrop- you really need to get out of the daycare more often.”  Roxy joked in response. Of course it went against their normal programming to swear but she and the others did it quite frequently.  “How was your day? Hopefully less stressful than mine.” 

daycarenightmare:

─── ･ ｡ﾟ ☁ : *. ☀ .* ☁ ｡ﾟ . ───

{!!} – ❝Huh? What do ya mean, Roxy?❞ Sundrop gazed at her quizzically, clearly far too sheltered to understand the appeal of using that particular calibre of words. Besides, even if the animatronic could have been - in some turn of events - persuaded or even tempted to swear, Sundrop wouldn’t have hazarded the chance. Being the Daycare Attendant, management had taken extra precautions during his production to ensure that he was as child-proofed as animatronically possible. He was fitted with an internal shock device that would give him a small, non-lethal zap for attempting to initiate any sort of mature dialogue. Like an insubordinate dog. It wasn’t something that a lot of people knew about him, and Sundrop seemed content to keep it that way. At the very least, it rendered him unable to say anything too shocking in front of the children, and their safety was what was most important, after all.

Sundrop examined her in a concerned and sympathetic manner when Roxy mentioned that she’d had a tough day. ❝Uh oh! Sounds like somebody needs a hug!❞ He wrapped his long arms around her and tugged her purposefully into his embrace, just hugging her there for a passing moment or two before he began to speak again. ❝Do you wanna talk about it? Maybe, it would help if ya told a friend what’s on your mind!❞

{!!} – An ingenuous laugh filled with ample flippancy; perhaps, it wasn’t in his nature to understand the significance of what she’d said. It seemed as though he believed she was playing with him, or maybe teasing him in some inconsequential way. ❝Sorry,❞ Sundrop beamed insouciantly, ❝must be the fizzy-faz!❞ Or maybe he was always that annoying. He was either very, very naïve or he was programmed to respond humourously to what his system would interpret as harmless teasing. The animatronic unexpectedly grabbed a hold of her hand and tugged her in the opposite direction from which she was heading in, ❝Hey, hey! Wanna go make some sock puppets with me?❞ Perhaps, it was because she looked to be in her youth that the Daycare Attendant was so eager to entertain her. Was it possible that her true age had managed to bypass his scanner...?

{!!} – The velocity at which she came hurtling down from the vents could have caused a terrible accident should there have been children in the ball-pit at the time of her inopportune arrival. Luckily for them, it was only Sundrop. He’d been at the opposite end of the ball-pit (most fortuitously) at the time of the vampire’s descendance, save for him being suddenly plunged beneath the surface by her incoming weight. 

He’d heard the commotion and had immediately begun wading through the sea of plastic balls to investigate. To tell you the truth, he’d been expecting Lil’ Music Man to come scuttling out from under the colourful heap, but much to his surprise, it was a young-looking woman! Sundrop examined her with inquisitiveness akin to perhaps a curious dog or a puppy. When she had adjusted her vision, the vampire may be surprised to see the animatronic’s broadly grinning face staring back at her from what could be described as an oppressively close distance. ❝Hellooo, sunshine!❞ he practically whooped with excitement, ❝How in the world did you get up there?❞ Sundrop wondered aloud, referring to the vents, ❝Were you looking for a way to escape? Oh, goodness, look at you - your hair is a mess! Let me fix that for you, I think there’s a hairbrush around here somewhere! After all, ya can’t play with dolls without a hairbrush! The Daycare has plenty of ‘em! Oh, where is it, where is it?!❞ It seemed as if the animatronic - having leapt out of the ball-pit and now bustling busily around the Daycare in search of one of the aforementioned hairbrushes - was talking so incredibly fast and with such enthusiasm that she could barely get a word in edgeways! She was going to have to be assertive to get anywhere at all with this lively thing. ❝A-ha!❞ An exclamation of prosperity, causing Sundrop to come skipping towards her at an alarming speed with the newly located hairbrush in hand, ❝C’mere...!❞

@daycarenightmare​ liked for a starter

As to how the vampire ended up here was anyone’s guess. Perhaps she needed a place to rest her wings after a flight. Slipping into the vents of this facility and somehow falling from the ceiling as the vent would not be able to accommodate her size and weight. There was a reason adults didn’t go crawling around in vents.

Still, it was very obvious of her entrance, if the screaming of falling who knows how far was any indication only to land within the surprisingly large ball pit that only barely braced her landing. Now dizzied she’d slowly stand up, leaning on her cane as her vision spins around her. A single eye trying to regain focus to figure out where it is she had landed within.

fallenpupil​:

A very audible groan is quick to come out. This is almost akin to dealing with Pinkie Pie but somehow it’s worse. Probably because Pinkie’s just an overactive human and this thing is an animatronic. An unsettling one at that. Though her mind does ponder the possibility of snagging one of those endoskeletons in the future. Sunset could use one of those. She’ll just put a pin in it for now.

“The job is tolerable. Your face isn’t.” The frown upon her face worsens as the thing starts dancing around her. Hands go to her hips at the accusation. “Incorrect. We’re co-workers.” But calling it that is still quite the stretch. 

“No.” She’s quite blunt, isn’t she?

─── ･ ｡ﾟ ☁ : *. ☀ .* ☁ ｡ﾟ . ───

{!!} – The animatronic pulled back on the elasticity of his mechanisms before succumbing to the gravity and only slightly staggering backwards, but quickly regaining his stability. What had happened to her to make her so cruel...? Despite her not having the operating system upon which to suffer a glitch such as he did with Moondrop, he supposed that something must have happened to her to make her the way that she was. Part of him could empathise and wanted to spare her the consequence of her behaviour, but the other part was just offended. Not to mention emotionally wounded. He’d been so excited to have a new friend to work with, and she was ruining it!! Sundrop was becoming visibly agitated, fidgeting even more spasmodically than usual.

The joints of his body clicked and whirred with his every movement, defining his robotic framework. He stopped to allow a brief half-a-second for him to (attempt to) collect himself, but the fleeting rest in his disturbance was quickly unaccomplished when he began to tug with maddening frustration at his sunrays, ❝Nghh -- You’re-y-you’re being DIFFICULT!!❞ It wasn’t often that Sundrop became angry, but even the forever-gleeful Daycare Attendant could have his grievances, sometimes. 

If she had been one of the kids, she would most certainly not be seeing the adjournment of her time-out anytime soon. ❝YOU’RE not being a very good FRIEND right now, Sunset Shimmer!❞ His tone of voice had become harsh with jurisdiction; so unlike his usual exuberant inflection. She should probably refrain from distressing him to the point of him over-heating, save for her having to explain why his system had crashed to higher management.

{!!} – The animatronic loomed over her with that intimidatingly widespread grin, but he meant her no harm; in fact, Sundrop seemed practically euphoric to see her coming into the Daycare! ❝New friend, new friend, new friend!!❞ Sundrop chanted to a crescendo, becoming increasingly - if not a little uncomfortably - too close to the newcomer, although he seemed to be blissfully ignorant to how stifling it was, ❝Hell-oooooo! Are you here for the finger-painting? C’mon, I’ll bring ya over to the table and getcha started!❞ He’s already carrying her towards the craft area before she’s even had the chance to reply.

@daycarenightmare​

“ I-I… W-what are you doing? “ Luna backed away quickly. She didn’t have too much experience with people getting so close to her, especially not with any kind intents.

He seemed to become mildly distressed when the wet cloth he was using proved to be insufficient at removing the sticky substance that was already half-dried to the table, vocalising some sort of dissatisfied noise and scrubbing harder & more frustratedly at the mess. ❝Clean up, clean up...!❞

Especially the bells!❞ Sundrop exemplified this with a little tinkle of the bells fastened to his wrists. ❝I think the design team just put ‘em there for fun, but they’re super useful to help the blind kids locate me more easily! That, and they just sound so happy!❞ Cue Sundrop skipping mirthfully around the otherwise empty Daycare while waving his wrists around for the next foreseeable thirty minutes while he giggles to himself like he's not one whole adult.
