Nothing Better than New Years in the Amazon

[sweetcandygirl]

Harley was finishing her make-up for an invite only New Year's Eve get-together with Pamela and Amelia. She had decided to wear a retro flapper's dress for the occasion. Something that was thin enough that the humid heat of the Amazon wouldn't bother her (and was made of a material that was eco-friendly).

She had finished curling and styling up her hair. And was just putting on some lipstick and eyeshadow while she waited for Amelia to arrive at her place.

Harley checks out the moss ball to see if she can open it on her own. After all, she got to it first. But realizes she is going to need Red to use her abilities. And heads towards the stairs to return to the others.

"Oh yes, there is lots to do before spring." Pamela nods.

When Harley places the moss ball on the table, Pamela gestures to the two women to step back. Then she gently touches the moss ball. It opens and releases hundreds of glow butterflies into the room.

"I enjoy getting my hands dirty," she offers, grinning. Red's corner of the Amazon is never entirely safe and she is willing to help in the garden between dispatching any who try to impede on this place, but Amelia would be lying if she didn't admit she would prefer more chances to sink her weapons into others. Which is why she simply doesn't mention it.

As the moss ball opens and the butterflies fill the room, though, all thoughts of violence and frustrating fights fall from her mind. It's a spectacular, magical sight unlike anything she's ever experienced, and her lips tug into a bright smile as she looks around. Carefully, she extends a hand toward one of the butterflies, not reaching for it but still testing the air around it, then holds it out palm up among the softly glowing creatures.

"Worth the wait?" she asks Harley. "They're certainly bright and beautiful enough to fit the description you mentioned earlier."

"We all have our outlets." Pamela sort of gets what Amelia is alluding to. But as of right now, she might only ask for help in the garden for the time being.

Harley stares up at the butterflies, raising her hands in the air. One does land on Amelia's extended hand.

"Thank you. I have cared for them for months now."

Her smile brightens as the butterfly lands on her hand, and she holds still to avoid disturbing it as she speaks. "Where will they go now that they've been released? Out into the garden?" She laughs softly as she adds, "I never really saw things like this on my world. Living in a city, creatures like this were out of my reach unless I left the walls and headed into the forests or out to the nearby farms."

"Oh yes, out into the garden. The jungle. They are pollinators… just like bees. They help flowers bloom," explains Poison Ivy.

This is a wonderful thing to learn about while she's here. Amelia smiles brightly and then gently moves her hand up and down to encourage the butterfly on it to rejoin the others. "I hope they help make the garden even more beautiful than it already is. They'll certainly brighten it at night when they're floating between the flowers."
