Octavia Philharmonica, talented musician, worked hard for her bits. Her group performances had a reputation of being  spectacular, and while that was a good thing, the numerous invitations to parties and concerts bringing in plenty of pocket money, each event was akin to rigorous exercise. Those exhausting sessions, several hours long, were all performed balanced on her hind hooves, while desperately trying not to fall from the vigorous motions her bow made against her instrument. Adding to that, she felt that any other movement would ruin the delicate music issuing from her double bass, so in actuality, a party for other ponies equated to a grueling attempt at full-body control for her. Also due to her popularity, her days off were few and far between, and often spent collapsed on her couch, fighting off slumber. You can imagine that any attempt to get her to work on those days was met with fierce resistance.Sadly, it was on one of these rare sabbaths that her good friend, and bane of her life, reminded her of a promise to assist on changing the paneling on her house. Being hit with a project as filled with manual labor as this, out of the blue, she complained to her friend. Her reply left her less than enthused. "Oh, Octi, don't think of it as me blindsiding you with work. Just think of it as Vinyl-siding."
