Grinning proudly to himself, quite certain that there had never been, and would never be, a more successful and well-designed advertisement than the one he had just finished installing, Roughshod scooped up what remained of his art supplies, a spring in his step as he carried them into the empty, silent bar, and up into the private quarters above, where he resided.
Once he was finished shoving the leftover tape, paint, glitter, cardboard and other detritus into his cupboard (and making sure to lean an empty crate against the door so that it remained closed), the grey stallion made his way downstairs again, whistling as he did so, his blue eyes appreciative and full of enthusiasm and positivity as he settled behind the counter, and took in the sight of the currently-empty bar: Clean booths, stools, chairs and tables, all ready for patrons, the multitude of kegs and bottles on display behind him, the wide glass windows letting in light and giving (now half-obstructed) views of the street, and, most importantly, trays of peanuts and other complimentary salty treats, lying neatly arranged on the shiny wooden bartop before him.
Everything was ready, everything was clean and organised, and, thanks to his incredible skills at artistry, soon the whole world would know of the Horseshoe's reopening.
Yeah, this was gonna be fun, even if Redrum would be along later to spoil his fun, and chew him out about some pointless thing or another.
With everything sorted, and the bar totally ready for the patrons who would no-doubt be pouring through the door within moments, Roughshod relaxed back in his seat, closed his eyes, snatched up a peanut, and crunched down on it with gusto.
