private Party in Eden RP

The dirt-matted pony was flitting hither and thither along a lonesome dirt trail in a garden. But it wasn't just any garden. This garden had a certain natural grandeur that was hard to match. What with the towering Flitterbloom trees and Flutterby bushes, whose multicolored leaves were waving as if in a nonexistent wind, the meadows upon meadows of flowers of wildest imagination, and the magnificent hedges, some of which towered, forming a magnificent maze, others of which were carved into life-sized likenesses of ponies.

But the most magnificent part of this garden was not the hedges, nor the meadows, nor the flutterby bushes. It was the fact that the air was humming with life, and the fact that the plants within seemed... for lack of a better word, aware. Sentient.

 

The dirt-covered pony was bustling about, finishing up the final chores before ponies started to arrive. An old gramophone had been placed in a clearing in the center of the garden, which was surrounded by the leafy statues. The Amblezonian flying fish in the clearwater spring had been fed. Fresh wines and juices had been collected from the vineyard and orchards, and set out near the fronts of the vineyards. And the more dangerous specimen of her garden, including the pony-eating trees known as the Yateveo, the poisonous fungi and cacti, the poison apple trees, and the LoveFruit Bush had been hidden away safely, deep in the hedge maze. And the front hedge had been instructed to recognize ponies with party invitations, and to part, allowing entry to those lucky few.

Now, all that filthy, dirt-matted pony had to do was to wait, and endure the fits of nerves she was feeling. Eve's garden, which she had fondly named Eden, had never been open to more than one or two strange ponies at a time. She fiddled with the satchel that hung around her neck, and the crystalline rose she wore behind her ear, a gift to her a long time ago, kept opening and closing, apparently independently. All she could do, was wait for them to come.

Amour trotted into the garden, her mane pulled back against her neck with bobby pins in a more formal style. She has tucked a few flowers in it before she had arrived but gave them to some little filly because she decided they were overkill. She was attending a garden party after all, there would be plenty of flowers all around!

 

Upon entering the garden she spotted the host, Evergreen immediately. Although she didn't know the pony very well, she had always admired her willingness to live so close to the Everfree forest.

 

"Evergreen, darling! Hello!" She called, walking up to her gracefully. She inwardly cringed at her attempt at sounding sophisticated and canterlot-like. She had been debating in her head earlier, on how she would interact with the other guests and had decided on 'sophisticated'. But now that she heard herself, she sounded terribly snotty. She cleared her throat and grinned, "Little tickle in my throat, there! Thanks for the invite! How goes it?" she rephrased, extended her hoof.

Minty trotted into the garden. She honestly thought that she dressed too formal. If you considered curling her mane, having a transparent flowing dress on with white shoes on formal. She marveled at the scenery, and sniffed in the pleasuring smell of roses, daisies, animals, and the party itself. 

 

She looked up to see what she assumed was the host of the party, and trotted up shyly to her. 

 

"N-nice to meet you." She said, her ears flattening against her mane.

Evergreen smiled nervously, and nodded graciously at her first guest. "It goes well, sweetie, it goes well." She toyed with a lock of her mane, and looked at it thoughtfully. "I probably should have cleaned up a bit before you got here." She picked a particularly large clump of dirt out of it and flicked it into a nearby clump of grass.

"Dusk, am I going to need to drag you in there?" 

"No, no i'm going I just...what do I say? I can't just wander around without talking to the hostess can I? I don't even know anypony here!" 

"Walk in, say hi, nice place - then boom. Enjoy the scenery. Easy." 

"I don't know Shadow, maybe this was a bad idea..." 

"I could always talk to her if you like?" 

"N-no, that's...that is a bad idea. I'll just...wait for an opportunity I guess." 

 

Dusk was busy arguing with his multi-pony-personality-disorder as usual, as he looked upon the garden from afar. He gave his overcoat a fiddle so it sat comfily on his shoulders before making his way down to the hedge, his crescent moon pendant swinging casually as his pace slightly increased upon going down a small hill to where he had seen ponies entering previously. 

 

Upon reaching the greenery, he reached into his pocket to remove the page to show the hedge, but as soon as he closed in, the hedge swung open and allowed him to pass. "Fancy" he chuckled to himself, peering in before he actually stepped inside. As soon as his hoof touched the grass on the other side of the hedge, the plants lining the slightly worn path immediately turned to "face" him and seemed to open up somewhat. He gave them a curious look, before casually making his way down the centre, being sure not to step on any on his roundabout way to the hostess, whom he had assumed to be with the other ponies already in the garden.

Violet stood (or whatever its called when you're part snake) at the edge of the garden, staring at the hedge in front of her.
She gulped thinking about how just a few hours ago she had made up her mind that she was staying home, and nothing was going to change it...accept for the fact that Eve was her only friend...and Eve was actually really nice...so if Eve was nice, then her friends must be nice...so this party wouldn't end up like the other one...it couldn't...could it?

 

She gulped and slithered a little closer to the hedge, wondering if there was a gate or something until the hedge spread open into a beautiful entrance.
She couldn't help but smile as she slithered through into the garden...to see Eve talking to two other ponies already. *Okay, I can do this...just...go say hi...* She thought, preparing herself to slither over and say hello...but she decided she would just wave at eve before looking at the garden around her.
She stared at the hedge where she had just entered, feeling very impressed that it closed, leaving no trace of a door. She smiled before she looked around at the rest of the beautiful garden, admiring the nearby willow tree.

Draco walked in wearing his black fedora and black Armani suit. His tie was blue  "Er hello Eve. Ha seems like the entertainment skipped out so I guess I'm here to sing. I know I know I'm a courier of exotic imports and exports. But I canm sing you know it was when I was younger," Draco said feeling slightly awkward. He looked over and noticed the naga. "Hello miss naga. Hmm your markings are different from the usual nagas I run into,"

A green mare dressed in a dark but pleasant orange that matched her eyes bounced into the garden. After several years of coming to Eve's garden for her remedies, the hedges instantly opened for her in recognition. SHe bowed her head to the little plants, still not sure if they were sentient. She noticed that several guests were already there. "Hello everyone! My name is Aroma Remedy. You may call me Remmy," she said in a slightly exaggerated formal tone. She cleared her throat and trotted over to the hostess. "Hey Eve! It's great to see you again!"

[Descant 1,897]

Eve waved hello at Violet, seeming completely unsurprised at the presence of a naga in her garden. Her eyes then turned to the newest arrival, and they grew rather cold, where they had been warm and dancing just moments before.

"Oh, hi, Draco," she said in a quiet, falsely sweet voice. "No, I don't think that'll be necessary. You don't need to sing. I've got it all covered." Her tail flicked towards the clearing with the hedge statues. "Got a gramophone. And an actual musician friend might be showing later."

 

She turned from him dismissively, merely to beam at the next arrival. Her demeanor changed; it was suddenly cheerful, almost... bubbly.

"Hi, Remmy!" Eve smiled. She hugged her, saying, "It's been too long. You really should drop in more." After she pulled back from the hug, she noticed she'd left a little dirt on the front of Remmy's dress. "Sorry about that," she said, pointing at the smudge.

Remmy brushed the smudge off. Luckily it came off easily. "Don't worry about it. And I haven't come by in a while for the fact that I haven't had any need for your exotic ingredients. Everypony who comes by my clinic only has minor issues that can be solved with some oak and sassafras leaves. Then again I could come over just to come over. Hehe sorry I'm talking too much." She looked around at the all the guests. She leaned closer to Eve. "Oooh~ Some of these stallions look quite strapping," she whispered.

"Oi you still mad about the break up. You said it yourself we're both to busy for the other. We both ripped out our own hearts for that," Draco said and then said "Really this late in the evening? I mean have you heard me sing before?" Draco asked looking at Eve in the eye. He sighed as he walked towards where everypony was at. He rolled his shoulders humming a slight tune. he began to whistle the tune "Heartaches by the numbers troubles by the score," he sang slightly.

Violet was reaching up to touch one of the vines hanging from the weeping willow when she heard somepony speak. She turned around to face him and raised an eyebrow. *Miss Naga?* She glanced down at her hooves. She looked up and and adjusted the bright pink bow keeping her mane in a ponytail before replying. "Well...Mister Pony...all Nagas are different. Just li-" She was cut off as Eve and the colt started getting into a bit of an argument.
She mumbled something as she went back into her shy mode, slowly slithering backwards away from the two ponies...back below the willow tree.

Eve was smiling. Quietly enough to keep their conversation private, she said, "No worries. You know you're free to pop in anytime, right? Anywho..." She gave a soft giggle. "They are, arent' they? We should be getting more, too. Don't goggle too much quite yet. And steer clear of Draco."

Eve raised an eyebrow. "You've got some nerve to even bring that up, let alone show." Her tone was brittle, and the Star Rose, the crystal flower omnipresent behind her ear, had puffed up, as if trying to look intimidating. "I'm not gonna stop you from singing. Just try not to embarrass yourself. If you don't mind," she said, flicking her tail as she turned, "I gotta finish a few chores before we can really get started."

She turned to Remmy, although Violet could probably hear too. "I've got two more dangerous plants to store in the maze before I can allow access to the orchard. There's one more Yateveo, and one of those Kythoni trees. You know, the one that bears love fruit," she added in an undertone. "Can't have those out, either. Wanna give me a hoof? I can get the Yateveo. Shouldn't ever get too close to one of them."

Remmy nodded. "Sure thing! I think I had to use a leaf from one of your Kythoni trees. It was a remedy to cure," her voice suddenly changed to a mock sad tone as she said the rest of the sentence, "a bwoken heart. Gah honestly some people think Kythoni leaves will help. Oh wait... I was the one who thought that. Whoopsie!" Remmy realized she was babbling again and cleared her throat. "I mean... I'll be happy to help."

"Well, this is the address. Just go in, maybe say hi, and then I can just stand somewhere away from the others."

 

Blue Moon stood a few feet away from the entrance of a beautiful garden. It was simply beautiful. No other word could describe it better. Well, maybe grand, but you get the point. He had received an invitation to a party here, but her wasn't exactly sure on why he was invited. He's not exactly one of the more well-known ponies in Ponyville. He didn't know what to wear, so he just went without fancy attire.

 

Blue Moon started walking towards the entrance, and passed through; noticing the oddly attentive hedge by the entrance. Looking around, he could see that the party had already started, and most of the ponies already were chatting with others.

 

"Well, I guess that means I don't have to worry about talking to anypony."

 

As Blue Moon made his way over to a lone area to the right, he tried to not make any contact with anypony. It appeared to work.

"I came here to patch things up between us Eve," Draco said looking at her as he walked by he smiled sadly "Letting you go was one of the hardest things I did alright," Draco whispered to her. He looked into her eyes. He sighed slightly then said "I know it won't be the same as before but maybe we can be friends again I don't know but if you let it fester like a bad wound. You'll end up getting sick,"

Eve smiled faintly, but raised a hoof to her mouth, and made a soft hushing noise as she and Remmy began to trot towards the orchard. "I've told you plenty of times," she murmured, "The fruit is the really potent part of the Kythoni plant."

 

She was doing an awfully good job of hiding her irritation with Draco.

Minty nodded, looking away. She trotted to a small lake and lied down at a tree. She always had social problems, so she decided to just stay away. Minty looked at the moon. She watched the others introduce themselves. "I wish I was able to introduce myself. I'm just too shy."

Remmy nodded and lowered her voice. "Yes but I didn't want him to fall in love with me. I thought there could've been a highly toned down sensation in leaves that would cause him to be less depressed. Unfortunately, yet fortunately at the same time, nothing happened." Remmy silenced herself as they got closer to the plants. Remmy purposely avoided asking about that stallion she had been arguing with, which was slightly out of character from her normal curiosity.

The surface of the pool splashed a couple of times, and Minty could see fish jumping out of the water and back in. They, at least, seemed inviting.

A single leaf fluttered down from the tree above her, and landed on her front hoof.

Her voice trailed away.  Then she said, "Well, it's not ready yet, in any case. Honestly, I wouldn't keep the kythoni or the yateveo if I didn't think they could really spin some bits for the garden later on. They are an awful lot of trouble."

Dusk had been watching the other ponies gather around, and suddenly felt his confidence beginning to diminish. "Oh, well...she seems sociable. She'll come around." He reassured himself, before he noticed a pony looking a little less confident than himself.

"Go for it, y'aint gonna make friends otherwise"

"I...alright" 

 

He decided he would introduce himself later, and casually sauntered over to where the mare was situated.
