[open] wide open spaces

Hydroponics was simply amazing.

It was relaxing. That was the best way Aerith could describe it. She was sure there had been plenty before her to make this observation, though. Still, it was comforted her in a way she'd needed. Even if it wasn't the planet, her planet, it still gave her a sense of peace. Despite it being an artificial environment, it was realistic and that in itself was astonishing to her.

Nanaki had mentioned the area before, but seeing it for herself was a different story. It made her forget, just for a moment, about being on a strange ship in the middle of space.

That was a nice feeling. She could see why people would spend a lot of time here.

So she wandered around, absorbing what she could, taking in all that was around her. Aerith didn't have a specific purpose - other than exploring. It certainly was a big place.

"You'll wanna ask the growers. The critters don't bother the crops much, but someone else might've taken a spot. But I'd say it's all right. We want as many as we can grow, especially if they're food."

Applejack grinned up at her tree, then offered her hoof. "I'm Applejack, pleased to meetcha. I work with apples, but I'll lend a hoof with anything else too."
appletastic: (Ain't that sweet)

"Nothin' wrong with a few flowers to brighten up the place. Actually, I'd like to see some. It'd almost be home that way."

It wasn't something Applejack discussed often, but she did miss Earth. Being on a creepy ship with a single grassy space just wasn't the same.
appletastic: (Aww shoot)

That sounded terrible to Applejack. A place were you couldn't grow plants? Preposterous!

"Where were you that you had so much trouble? Sounds awful."
appletastic: (Sure don't sound good)

[personal profile] appletastic 2011-11-11 05:09 pm (UTC)(link)
Aerith would see Applejack's ears droop. "I'm sorry. Sounds like y'all needed a few more bright spots. But I'd never make it down there. I need someplace to roam, you know? This here field's somethin', but I still miss it. That's what I'm fighting for."
appletastic: (Up and at 'em!)

Applejack nodded firmly. "That's right! We'll make things better, startin' right here with some fresh food. Our slop's not so good, huh?"

She had yet to meet anypony who liked it.
appletastic: (Facehoof.)

"Yup. Best be careful. I bring my apples down for some tradin' when I can, but I think we've got some money to spend too. They've sure got some weird things to sell down there, though."

She huffed. "Think I saw some pony hide."
appletastic: (Sad eyes)

"Sure do!" Applejack responded, shaking her head. "But it ain't always a party. The first place we went was a planet that was goin' under. We had to fight a war. I didn't get out on the lines, but I went inside one of those computer things to sort some stuff out."

She sighed. "It's terrible, what we're facing. We just can't help 'em all."
appletastic: (Let's roll)

[personal profile] appletastic 2011-11-19 08:24 pm (UTC)(link)
Applejack had to agree. "It's rough, but we make it. What do you think you'll be doing out there? Fighting? We've got some training happening if you need it. I sure do," she chuckled. "Most stuff ain't made for ponies."

"Nope! We've got all kinds of critters. Sheep, pigs, cows, dogs, cats, gators, dragons...but no humans. But then I get here and everything's built for all y'all."

She was still working on standing on her hind legs in just the right way.

"What's materia? Can you find some?"
appletastic: (Facehoof.)

"Oh, so they give you powers. Like unicorn horns!" Sort of. "Can any of y'all use 'em, or are they just for a few?"

She didn't know much about powers, but they could be very tricky. "They sound mighty useful, though. Stacy should've kept 'em."
appletastic: (Buck up and let's play!)

[personal profile] appletastic 2011-11-26 03:37 pm (UTC)(link)
"Then you should ask! Or they could be lying around in storage somewhere," Applejack suggested. "That's where I got my hat."

As for her own powers? She shook her head, mane swinging from side to side. "Nah. I'm an earth pony. I just do what I do best, no fancy magic or flying tricks, but I'm one of the best farmponies you'll ever meet!"

Maybe she had...a little pride.
appletastic: (A-yup!)

[personal profile] appletastic 2011-11-28 10:36 pm (UTC)(link)
Normal's good, yup! "I'm not saying magic ain't useful. Two of my best friends are unicorns and they've pulled us outta a few fine messes, sure! Just feels like nopony appreciates us sometimes."

But that was worth getting past. "I like what we've got here, though. Plenty of space. Y'all are welcome here anytime you like."
appletastic: (So. Cute.)

"You too!" Applejack promised, managing her best jaunty wave with her hoof. "Take care now, y'hear?"
