HAPPY NEW YEAR'S AND A MERRY CHRISTMAS

[trollingismagic.insanejournal.com]

[ Best wishes from Bermuda Isle!



A number of booths have sprung up near the shoreline, enticing you to don yourself in the colorful festive garb of a true Bermuda native! Unwind from your day and come out to see what's offered. ♥ There are all sorts of delicious foods and snacks, and plenty of souvenirs. It's time to ring in the New Year of 2012! Lanterns have been strung up, and the snow seems to have stopped. In fact, no snow is to be seen near the site of the festival itself. Oddly, the booths are all run by strange black goatlike creatures in finely tailored suits...

The catch is, unless you sneak in, you have to come with a friend or a date! So find someone to go in with you! ♥ You may even catch a glimpse of Eureka as she wanders the festival... ]

My, the Princess is here too? That's not good. Celestia will be upset.

[ponycereal.insanejournal.com]

Been tryin' ta keep 'er busy. We built a greenhouse ta do some plantin' while all this snow's around.

But it's hard keepin' track'a her until she starts yellin'... She still does lots'a yellin...

[partysoft.insanejournal.com]

Well that's, just, um, how she communicates, I guess.

[ponycereal.insanejournal.com]

Yeah, I guess. Still wonderin' why Princess Celestia didn't fill 'er in on how much has changed.

But I'm real glad yer here, Sugarcube.

[partysoft.insanejournal.com]

I'm glad you're here too, Applejack. If I'd been all alone here, I... oh, I just don't know what I would have done!

[ hid in the bushes until things stopped being scary? ]

[ponycereal.insanejournal.com]

You would'a been fine. But with the two of us 'n Princess Luna, we should manage okay.

[partysoft.insanejournal.com]

Woohoo!


[ she does a happy little trot in place ♥ ]

[ponycereal.insanejournal.com]

[Aj laughs, glad that she has one of her more sane friends here to help her out. She has no idea what she'd do if she had to wrangle both Luna and Pinkie Pie or something.]

Wha'dya say we go lookin' around this fair they got set up?

[partysoft.insanejournal.com]

I'd love that, Applejack.

I was already admiring the beautiful decorations. It reminds me of the ... the um, Gala.

[ oh, that was an awkward topic to pick, fluttershy. ]

[ponycereal.insanejournal.com]

Heh... Yeah, we should prob'ly try an' not break everythin' this time, huh?

Sure is pretty though. Wonder who set all this up?

[partysoft.insanejournal.com]

[ oh god she feels SO BAD. flutterbitch will never come out again, ever ever ever ]

I don't know. It wasn't here before?

[ponycereal.insanejournal.com]

[But Fluttershy! It was Flutterbitch that saved us from that dragon!]

Nope, not as of a few days ago anyways...

[partysoft.insanejournal.com]

Maybe those goats built it.

[ she decides to go up and ask one... ]

[ponycereal.insanejournal.com]

[AJ trots along beside her, pretty wary of the goats because man they are just a little creepy. But if anyone can get through to them it's her pal Fluttershy.]

[partysoft.insanejournal.com]

Um, hi. Mister Goat. My friend and I, that's Applejack, over there-

We, well, we just wondered if... if you could tell us a little about ... this festival, and-

[ AJ this is totally not working. she is way scared and it's bleating at her. ]

[ponycereal.insanejournal.com]

[Applejack sighs and trots up alongside Fluttershy, making her best serious face at the goat.]

If'n ya know what's good fer ya, ye'll answer the filly's questions...

[partysoft.insanejournal.com]

You don't have to! I mean, um, if you don't feel like it, it's alright...

[ yeah. this isn't going to work. ]

[ponycereal.insanejournal.com]

[Applejack frowns and shakes her head a bit. Clearly if she let Fluttershy do the talking, they'd never get anywhere.]

Fluttershy, you let me handle this, okay?

[Applejack steps forward.]

How'd you guys get this all set up so quick? An' what's with all the weird weather?! Ya'll don't look like pegasi!

[partysoft.insanejournal.com]

[ The goat is completely confused by all these talking horses and bleats at the sky to express this. It points toward the festival. All it's supposed to do is guard this gate!! No questions!!! ]

I think he's, um, saying we can go inside. Maybe we should leave him be... Sorry for the trouble, Mister Goat. I hope you have a good night.

[ponycereal.insanejournal.com]

[Applejack gives the goat a suspicious look, but then nudges Fluttershy and heads inside.]

This place is weird...

[partysoft.insanejournal.com]

[ Fluttershy is following as quick as she can, not wanting to be left alone with irritable human-shaped animals. ]

I've never seen animals like that before. It's almost like what Discord did to poor Angel...

[ she fidgets, then brightens immensely when she sees the goldfish booth. ]

Oh! Fish! Little fishies!

[ponycereal.insanejournal.com]

Never seen a lot of like what I've seen in this place. It don't get any less strange.

[She trots after Fluttershy and stares at the fish suspiciously.]

...They look pretty normal.

[partysoft.insanejournal.com]

They're just fish, Applejack.

[ silly. ]

They can't hurt you.

[ponycereal.insanejournal.com]

...Guess it's okay, 'long as they're just normal fish.

[partysoft.insanejournal.com]

What else could they be?

[ she is totally tapping the glass tank with her hoof, overjoyed to find cute little creatures here. ]
