“I’m bored!” exclaimed the unicorn.
　　
　　“I’m very well aware; so is everyone in a 5 mile radius from here,” floated the sarcastic reply from the living room.
　　
　　 “But this time I mean it! There’s nothing to do, nowhere to do, no one to ---”
　　
　　“Vinyl!” heaved the exasperated pony.
　　
　　“What? It’s true.” The one addressed as Vinyl trotted into the room.
　　
　　“You’re a DJ, go break some records or something.”
　　
　　“Hey! It’s scratching, it’s not breaking, and it’s an art form.” Vinyl huffed.
　　
　　Giggling, Octavia replied. “Sure it is. So is six year old crayon drawings.”
　　
　　“Octy! Wait, what are you even doing?” Vinyl inquired, after noticing Octavia was buried flank high in sheet music.
　　
　　 “Nothing much, just memorizing the longest concerto piece in existence.” With no reply to that, the unicorn backed out of the room, only to walk back after a few minutes had passed.
　　
　　“Wait a minute, you’re bored too!” Vinyl concluded.
　　
　　 “What would ever give you that impression?” Again with the sarcasm.
　　
　　“Because nopony could even pretend that this was fun.” The DJ pointed toward the music.
　　
　　“Yes, you’re a regular Sherclop, I’m bored.”
　　
　　“Well, you’re bored, and I’m bored --”
　　
　　“No.”
　　
　　“Wha--”
　　
　　“No.”
　　
　　“Why--”
　　
　　“No.”
　　“But --”
　　
　　“No.”
　　
　　“Fine.” The alabaster pony sulked back to her room. Silence followed for a few short minutes, with Octavia reveling in the stillness of her ears.
　　
　　“Octy! I’m bored!” came the familiar words from the DJ’s room. With a sigh, the cellist jotted down another tally mark on a separate piece of paper.
　　
　　“That’s 279, by my count,” the mare chuckled.
