Hard workin' pony

[more_apple_fritters_plz]

WHO: Applejack, OPEN
WHERE: The garden by Trion's temple
WHEN: Around mid-day
WHAT: Gardening!
WARNINGS: Dirt, idk what else?



With the loss of Rarity, Applejack's been throwing herself into the work in Alpha Trion's garden. She worked on a farm back home and it was only natural that she would try and get something to grow here. She would have hoped to be spending some time with Rarity, but with the other pony gone, she was just working.

She knew that she should be more social, but it was hard when you were the only pony in a place like this, but things were looking up. The garden was coming along, slowly but surely. Give an Earth Pony a bit of time and some workable farmland and she would get something to grow. She wasn't sure what seeds that were out there, but she would find out when they grew.

Sitting back at the edge of the garden, she smiled and wiped her forehead with a foreleg.

"Whoo wee. It sure has been hard work, but there are some seedlings growin'!" She said to herself with a small smile.

Plants were something new to him. The planet the Circle had retreated to was a barren, rocky planet. So when he spotted the garden he paused to just stare. It was beautiful, in an alien sort of way, and he could appreciate that.

Spotting the little, yellow...what was that? He'd never seen anything like Applejack before. He's seen all kinds of aliens, but nothing quite like her. He stopped a comfortable distance back, close enough to speak in normal tones, but back enough to not threaten the pony. He even crouched down to be more at her level.

"Hello. Did you do this?" He motioned at the garden. "It's beautiful."

"The groundwork was already started when I got here. I just did what I can ta help get tha ground ready fer growin'. I don't know what seeds were there, but I'm gunna see what grows," she said, waving a hoof at the ground and the seedlings that were just starting to sprout.

She turned to look over at him and smiled as she adjusted her hat. "Tha name's Applejack." She tipped her hat at him and gave a friendly smile.

Eris was exploring, flying in mid air and looking for anything interesting to keep herself occupied. The goddess wasn't expecting to see a small horse working on a garden, where she came from they sure didn't act in such way. And they could not speak either.

She disappeared in thin air and reappeared in front of the pony. Her yellow and golden eyes, blue skin and black hair that moved on its own accord should be a clear sing that she was no ordinary person but she had a smile on her face too.]

Aren't a present for the eyes! So singular. Hello

"Growing...? I've never seen anything quite like it. It's rather amazing."

Wing turned his smile back to the pony. "It's nice to meet you Applejack. My name is Wing."

"Back in Equestria, where I'm from, I live and work on an apple farm. My family's been growin' apples fer generations. I just hope that some of tha seeds I found were apple trees," she said, looking back over her hard work.

"This is just tha start of things. They won't grow without some watchin' over."

[Now that surprised the simple pony. She yelped and fell back on her hind legs, her forelegs kicking at the air for a moment as she tried not to fall on her back completely.]

AAAHHH! Don't do that ta a pony!

Thundercracker tends to wander the surrounding areas of his patron First-Forged's territory when he hasn't anything else to do and he's had his fill of flying. It had been a while, though, so he's surprised to see the new addition to the surroundings. He's even more surprised, though, to see what - well, no, that's a "who" - seems to be responsible.

Curious, he approaches, walking as softly as he can to keep from "stomping" and potentially frightening the little thing. He'll stop far enough back hopefully to not seem to threaten, then crouches down on his heels.

"Huh. I thought organic farm stuff was up north closer to Prima's area."

[knight_light]

"Hm." It's a thoughtful sound. "Would you be willing to teach me how to grow trees?" He couldn't help but find this fascinating. Something that grew? A form of life that needed care, that changed on it's own? He was curious and hoped Applejack would be willing to teach him what he needed to know.

oh, I'm so sorry dear. [No, she isn't.] That was not my intention.
