The Fifth Sign

[revenancemods]

Who: Anyone who wants to participate
What: The zapapple harvest!
Where: Ponyville, Sweet Apple Acres, the orchard where the Zapapple trees are growing
When: Afternoon
Warnings: None yet.

A lightning storm crackles over the orchard, lighting the sky with electricity for minutes on end. Only when it fades does a rainbow arch across the sky. As if by magic - and it may well be - the gray apples on the trees suddenly grow to three times their size and gain rainbow stripes. It looks like the zapapples are ripe and ready for picking. There's buckets and barrels in the barn - best get started before the sun goes down and they disappear.

As for that howling in the distance...well, surely it's nothing.

[Anyone can join; this plot is friendly for combatants and non-combatants alike; no tag order; further instructions as events warrant. Have fun!]

North had stopped learning to be surprised by anything the dream worlds had thrown at him. Electric rainbow apples were par for the course as he was concerned. But there was excitement about them, and so North figured that he might as well see what the fuss was about.

How did ponies harvest apples anyway?

[fearmylaserface]

Well, Epsilon had finally decided to come back to the pony world again, even if he was a weird little dragon thing when he's in the place. And that pony looked familiar, colorwise. Familiar enough that he decided to move closer. "North?"

Yea. That's a blue dragon talking to you, North.

[brodakota]

In North's experience, baby dragon tended to equate to AI, and it didn't take too long for him to sort out that it was Epsilon.

"Hey, Epsilon. Didn't expect to see you here," North replied, bending down so that he was on a slightly more equal level with the dragon. Theta slid off his back, excited to see the other dragon.

"Hi!"

[fearmylaserface]

Epsilon wasn't exactly thrilled with the fact that North had to bend down to be on level with him, but not much he could do to change that in this world, at any rate.

"Figured I should do something productive with my time. Hey Theta..."

Epsilon's dream Eaters, Allison and Caboose, were nearby, with the Meowjesty frolicking around.

[brodakota]

To be fair, North has to bend down to be on most people's levels. The curses of being tall, one supposed.

"Well, do you want to help us harvest some apples them? We were gonna try to figure it out."

It didn't look too hard if all you had to do was kick the tree to knock them down.

Theta grinned. It was really the first time he'd really be able to interact with the other AI in a physical sense. The only logical thing was to give him a hug.

[fearmylaserface]

Epsilon was a bit startled at the hug from Theta, so don't mind the delayed response to your comment, North. But after he recovered, he returned the hug. This was family. Why not?

"It doesn't hurt to try to help gather the things."

[brodakota]

"Alright, let's do then. Go grab some baskets to catch the apples. I think my job's to kick the tree."

Yeah, being a pony's weird and nothing is going to change that.

Theta, in the meantime, is sporting a grin. This is really the first time he's gotten to interact with Epsilon like this.
