A Housewarming Party for a Castle

[sunlightsister]

Celestia's new home was a grand residence indeed: the citadel of Camelot, a place which featured heavily in the myths and legends of Earth. Not that Celestia was familiar with these myths, of course.

Guests were free to wonder around the castle at will, but Celestia had decided that today, the courtyard would be a lovely place for everypony to get together. There were a few tables set up, with the treats Hoshi and Applejack had so generously made, and Rarity's beautiful decorations. And later, Celestia planned to invite her guests to ride on the Ferris wheel that happened to be located just outside the castle.

The crewmembers had suffered a great loss recently, but she hoped that this would bring them some small amount of joy, and the comfort of friendship in this time.

[[ooc: Sorry this is a day late guys, uni ended up being much more hectic yesterday than I expected. Anyways, I've put up a subthread for Celestia greeting visitors and rides on the London Eye. Those that ICly helped out this party can also set up sub-threads for the food tables/games/whatever as well, if you guys want to. (Edit: The sub-thread for Hoshi & Applejack's nibbles is up here!)

But other than that, feel free to start your own threads and tag each other. People can also wonder around and explore the castle - it's the BBC Merlin version of Camelot, but only the citadel itself (as opposed to the whole city).]]

"I'd love to see that myself, actually," Kaya said. "It sounds like Luna's had a long time to be by herself, and being that way made her angry. Having resentment that long hurts more than it helps. I'd love to know what Luna is like when she's happy with the present company."

She chuckled. "And actually, I'm biased: one of my very best friends on this ship was also named Luna, and she knew magic."

"I'd like to lend her a hoof too. Maybe someday. It'd sure make Princess Celestia happy."

Applejack looked on, still curious. "She's no pony, though, is she?"

"You seem to care for your ruler very much," Kaya said. "But she seems so nice. I'm glad you have someone like that in your world to watch over all of the ponies. Some rulers aren't that benign."

She laughed. "No, she was a regular human but with magic. Her world did have unicorns though. They didn't talk though, so I have a feeling she would have really liked meeting you."

Applejack knew that, all right. "We really are lucky. Can't imagine Equestria any other way!"

She smiled at the description of the girl. "Huh. I'm still wondering why those other ponies couldn't talk. Or why y'all couldn't hear them. All this is still new."

"Then I hope she can ease the pain of the people on the ship too," Kaya said. "They need all the help they can get."

She shrugged. "Different worlds all have different things in them, different ways things are. I'm still learning the degree to how different they are."
