trans_9 | A Housewarming Party for a Castle

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).]]

"Fashions were indeed very different," Celestia said, chuckling. "Sometimes I am surprised by how quickly they change. It is a shame that I don't have my library - I did own some excellent books on the history of fashion."

Normally, Celestia tended to be very careful about whether she allowed a particular pony to make something for her. She was the Princess, and as such she had to rule all ponies, and as such she had to be careful to make sure that she didn't just accept the gifts of any one pony. But here on this ship, things were different - her subjects were numbered three. With so few to care for, favouritism was not the issue it would be in Equestria.

"That would be lovely, Rarity. But it would be a shame if I didn't have anywhere to show off your beautiful designs - perhaps we will need to organise another get together sometime."

Rarity was practically glowing with delight. "This is wonderful! I wonder if the Sensoriums would conjure up a book about Equestria's fashion..."

She trialed off before beaming up at the Princess again. "I am in no hurry to make your outfit, Your Highness. I do need a break after making all the outfits for Space Prom."

"It doesn't hurt to try, does it?" Celestia said, encouraging. "And I do believe the ship has it's own library as well. I must make a visit to it myself sometime, in fact." She would be very interested to see what she could learn, both about the war and their fellow creatures. Knowledge, she had learned throughout her reign, was a valuable tool - as long as one didn't allow the pursuit of it to interfere with one's friends, of course.

"Why yes, of course - you mustn't overtax yourself, Rarity. I can be a very patient pony - and I'm sure the wait will just make the anticipation all the better, don't you think?"

"The wait would be worth it." Rarity said with a smile. "I will contact you again when I'm ready."

"Thank you, Rarity," Celestia said, smiling. "And in the meantime, I do hope you will enjoy the party."

"Likewise to you, Your Highness." Rarity bowed before turning away to scan for interesting things in the party.

(OOC: Did you see the MLP Season 2 premiere? It was EPIC!)

[[ooc: This seems like a good place to finish the thread? And yes, I did! Can't wait until next week XD]]

(OOC: Yup, good place to end. Nice RPing with you! Maybe I can PM you next time Rarity wants to take measurements for Celestia.

I believe Discord screwed up the TV because the same episode was shown twice in a row! Grr.)

[You too! And yes, feel free to PM me or email or IM or whatever anytime! All my contact info should be on...well, the contact page XD

Really? What was the second showing meant to be - an old episode?]

(The Hub gave the show an hour long slot which meant that both part 1 & 2 were to be shown but they showed part 1 twice. Either they goofed up or it was intentional... I stick to my theory that Discord did it! XD)

[Oooh, I see! I had thought that it was just part one showing anyway. (I do like the "Discord did it!" theory though XD)]
