[ excuse the lack of fancypost ;-; ]

So. He had been traveling for a while now, and this was where he ended up? On the border of some random place that he had heard about from some shady loner? Yep, apparently. Eden wasn't one for walking around much, but he had walked a long way to get to the border. After leaving his mother months ago to go see the world, he had wandered around aimlessly for a very long time. Then, he ended up here. Eden felt a chill run through his fur as a cold breeze swept in. It would have been nice if he had worn something warm for a hat, like a beanie, but as he was a dog and had lived a very sheltered life (he was of the few pups that were allowed to stay with his mother, while some from the litter were abandoned), he didn't know what a beanie was and thus didn't even think to wear one. Instead, he was wearing a flower crown, made from the pink, orange, and white flowers that sprouted underneath his paws as he walked.

He had worn a flower crown in hopes that it would make a good first impression, since flower crowns were nice and Eden liked them and thought they looked very cheery, but he was also pretty worried that a sharp breeze would blow it right off his head. Feeling this worry jolt through him, he called out, "Hey, anyone out here? M' flower crown is in danger!"

The golden retriever's tail gave an energetic wag as Sleeplesscity came over. Yay, there was a person- a friendly-looking person, at that. The panther didn't look like they were going to eat Eden alive or anything horrible along those lines. The cream-colored dog shook out his coat, listening to the Foundation member speak. He had to wonder what members of The Foundation were called- Foundationers? Foundationites? Founders? Foundations? He kept his trap shut about that, though, and only spoke about the topic that was relevant. "Well, I'd love to see a flower meadow- that sounds lovely- but, really, I'm looking to join. This is The Foundation, right?" Eden raised his eyebrows, worried that he might have ended up at the wrong place. Even if he had, he would have stayed, because it looked cool and they had flower meadows, and plus this panther dude seemed pretty chill. Like, maybe Eden could flirt with later on.

Then another animal came over- this one didn't give off quite as chill an aura as the panther did, but maybe he was just having a crappy day? The wolf's words were reasonably nice, saying that he would get the flower crown if it blew off, or they could get more or whatever. So far, it seemed like nobody was a total asshole here. Eden liked that. "Thanks, cutie." He said in response to Phantom. He couldn't help it- sometimes he just had to flirt a little bit, even if wasn't anything serious. Little did he know Phantom was, y'know, figuring some feelings out for Immy. Eden really needed to start checking whether or not people were single before he flirted with them- actually, no, he didn't, because he would probably just flirt with them anyway. A few seconds later, he added on, "'name's Eden, by the way."

[fancypost bgcolor= transparent; border: 0px solid black; height: auto; width: 420px;][justify][font=georgia][color=white]"Do you ever stop loving someone?"- wasn't that question and a half! Eden came over, his head tilted to one side in confusion. What a deep question. He wondered what the hell Phantom was going through to make him say that. Eden decided to think it over seriously, though. The golden retriever flirted and liked people, sometimes, and he was a bit of a hopeless romantic, but he had never really thought about whether you could stop loving someone. Eventually, he came up with an answer, and put it quite bluntly.

"It depends on the situation, I think. I think sometimes if you break up with them or they die or something like that, sometimes you don't stop loving them, even though they're gone." Eden shrugged, continuing on. "I'm not sure what kind of a situation is going on with you, so I'm just going to say, I think you can also stop loving people. I know my mother and father stopped loving each for sure. My mom wanted to kill him, eventually. She sure as hell wasn't in love with him." He finished, not really wanting to give a bunch of details about what that situation had been. He didn't really actually like talking about his father and mother's relationship very much, but he felt it was necessary in this situation, if he was to be completely honest.

[ way to be a buzzkill, eden. ]

Wow, The Foundation members just seemed to keep popping up! The creamy canine turned his head to face Horizon, an easy grin appearing on his face. "Well, it's worthy to worry over, hon. Isn't it gorgeous?" His tone was the sort that made people wonder whether he was kidding or not. Actually, Eden wasn't quite sure himself whether or not he was just joking about his flower crown's beauty. "Nice to meet you, Horizon Shifter-Cipher- wait, sorry. That's a last name, right? So I should just call you Horizon. My apologies, sir." Eden babbled for a second, before shaking his coat out again. Too damn cold. "Prefer to go by anything specific to go by- you mean pronouns? If so, I go by he and him and all that. Or were you talking about my name? Because it's-" He cut himself off, realizing he was talking a lot.

With that, he simply just stopped talking for a second, only speaking again when Sleeplesscity did. "Thank you for the welcome, Sleeplesscity. Fun name- you keep this place up all night, or somethin'?" It was the only explanation he could think of for the name. Sleeplesscity did have a mildly tired look about him, it seemed to Eden.

Then he turned back to Phantom. Ah, yes, the one he'd called "cutie". An amused smirk glided onto his lips as he noticed that the wolf was just a tad surprised by his remark. Eden always enjoyed that, when people were caught off guard by him flirting randomly. The grin appeared back on his face. "A pleasure to meet you, Phantom. I'll be sure to let you know- wait, wait, hold up. I already have a question. You guys got a central home- no, no, a camp?" He remembered the correct name, and with that, his roleplayer realized she had to go somewhere and so quickly ended this post.

[fancypost bgcolor= transparent; border: 0px solid black; height: auto; width: 420px;][justify][font=georgia][color=white]"'Bretheren'? That's a fancy word. Herbs sound cool, though- I'll participate." The pale golden dog came over and sat down, an easy grin on his face as his tail beat the ground. He had no idea what to do with herbs. He knew that cobwebs could... stop bleeding? Help with the bleeding? Something like that. But those weren't actually herbs- those were cobwebs. Eden figured it would probably be good to know about herbs, and he guessed it would be easy. After all, he was pretty sure that flowers weren't too different from herbs... right?

[fancypost bgcolor= transparent; border: 0px solid black; height: auto; width: 420px;][justify][font=georgia][color=white]Eden and his siblings, as young pups, would often play Would You Rather, although they didn't call it that. Instead, they had referred to it as "that game where you have to pick one or the other", and Eden had never thought of it as Would You Rather. That was why he was somewhat confused when he saw Horizon, sitting there with a sign that said "Would You Rather". Eden didn't know much about Horizon beyond the fact that he was iffy on being worried about flower crowns, but the golden retriever was sure that they were a nice individual... at least, he hoped he was. So, coming to the conclusion that they wouldn't mind if he approached, he asked, "Hello! What does that sign mean? Would I rather what?" Oh, sweet Eden. He had never been called smart.

[fancypost bgcolor= transparent; border: 0px solid black; height: auto; width: 420px;][justify][font=georgia][color=white]Goodness, there were more people? Eden's eyes widened as he noticed the small form of Sebastion come over. Although Eden had called Phantom a "cutie", the word seems to really belong to the gray cat. He was so little, and he looked so shy, and the golden retriever sort of wanted to eat him because he was just so adorable. However, he didn't start squealing or anybody of that crap, because he was pretty sure that would frighten the feline. Instead, he just said a cheerful, "Hey!" in greeting.

Then he heard Horizon's words. Ah, yes. He had gotten him to agree that the flower crown was pretty. If Jen had heard Horizon's inner thoughts, he might have kept going with his attempts to convince him that his flower crown was great enough to worry over, but since Horizon outwardly said that it was pretty and said nothing more of it, Eden didn't do it. He nodded with satisfaction as the Tasmanian devil confirmed that "Shifter-Cipher" was a last name and that he had been talking about pronouns, and then he spoke again. "Yeah, its Eden. Don't wear it out!" Eden's grin seemed to grow wider, and he winked, because he was a dork. He not only directed it ar Horizon, but Sebastion as well, because he figured he might as well introduce himself to the small cat- maybe that would prompt him to say his name? Then he would know, like, everybody's name.

Then another Foundationer (he was calling them that in his brain, since he found it amusing) came over- a domestic cat, like Sebastion. He liked her from the start, because she had super pretty fur (maybe that was a tad shallow, but Eden didn't care) and also she had ovviously been admiring is flower crown. And then his impression of her only became more positive, because she voiced that. "Thank you! I like it, too. If Sleeplesscity shows me that flower meadow they talked about, maybe I could make one for you." He wagged his tail cheerfully, already trying to map out the color scheme and types of flowers that would work well with her fur colors.

[fancypost bgcolor= transparent; border: 0px solid black; height: auto; width: 420px;][justify][font=georgia][color=white]It seemed the first one to appear was Eden, who had been idly strolling around the territory, getting used to the feel of it. He had eventually reached one section of the border and, lo and behold, there was Reiningshadows, calmly sitting on the border. The golden retriever padded over. He didn't know the protocol for joiners, since he had never lived in a clan before and his own joining had been pretty chillax about that thing. So when Eden approached, he just sort of stared at her, trying to think of what he was supposed to say to someone on the border. Was he supposed to say anything at all? Was he allowed to? Was that only for high positions?

Eventually, he mumbled a, "Uh... uhm, sorry, just, uh, wait for someone else. I don't know stuff." For one of the first times in his life, he was flustered, and it was because he didn't know some clan protocol, which actually sort of made sense, at least.

[fancypost bgcolor= transparent; border: 0px solid black; height: auto; width: 420px;][justify][font=georgia][color=white]Eden didn't know much about Christmas. He had experienced it before, but that had just been with his family, and there hadn't been gifts or any of that. It had just been a normal day for his family. Since he had joined The Foundation, though, Eden had heard more from NPCs about holidays than he had ever heard in his entire life time. He didn't really understand the part about pine trees being decorated and... basically, almost the entire holiday, but he did know that he it was considered pretty nice if you got gifts for people. So Eden did. He made flower crowns. Eden didn't know anyone really well, but he figured that nobody really hated flower crowns with a fiery passion. So he made them, coming in all different kinds of colors and coming in all different kinds of flowers.

The golden retriever sat down with a satisfied, almost shark-like grin on his face, a quite large pile of flower crowns beside him, he waited. He waited for people to come over, and ask, "What the hell are you doing with that many flower crowns?". Then, he would shove one of them in their face and be like, "THEY'RE PRESENTS!".

[fancypost bgcolor= transparent; border: 0px solid black; height: auto; width: 420px;][justify][font=georgia][color=white]Oh, Eden had come in time for... drama between ex-spouses, it seemed? The golden retriever raised his invisible eyebrows. The only experience with people being broken up had been his mother and father, and they hadn't had any extra-fun encounters like this, after they had already split. His father had run off, leaving his mother, and they had never spoken again. Thus, this was pretty interesting to Eden. The cream-colored canine came over, a flower crown perched on his head, as always.

His gaze flitted between Phantom and Immortalkisses. Had this been the reason that Phantom had asked that question about loving people? Eden couldn't tell for sure, but it was a guess in his head. "Wooh, some fun ex drama going on here, huh?" Eden, not really caring what the hell he was saying or how people reacted to it, said cheerily. "'M'name's Eden, welcome to The Foundation, yadayada. Sorry for interrupting." He shrugged and took a good few paces back and then sat back on his haunches, watching the scene unfold.

His grin grew wider when Sebastion approached, but then it faltered a tad, because his plan of thrusting a flower crown at the face of the first person to approach obviously wouldn't work out, because, well, he was pretty sure Sebastion would be hella spooked. Thus, he rolled his light golden shoulders casually, and then spoke. "Flower crown presents. For, you know, this holiday thing. Do you want one? I bet you'd look nice with most colors, because gray is a nice neutral. Maybe a blue or green?" He suggested, not even pausing enough that Sebastion could tell Eden if he actually wanted a flower crown.

The golden retriever's shuffling around in the flower crown pile paused when Phantom and Sleepless came over. Eden eyed both the albinos, trying to figure out what would work best with them. Roses, probably. White and... pink? Red? Something like that. "The more the merrier, right? I didn't know how many people would want flower crowns, so I just... got a lot." He replied to Sleeplesscity with a laugh. "I think both of you would look nice with maybe white and pink, or red, roses. I mean, I've taken the thorns off and everything- don't worry about that- because it would sort of be your colors, you know?" Eden started digging through the pile again without another word, trying to figure out where he had put the rose crowns.

ooo maybe eden could have a thread with phan? maybe phantom could figure out that eden and paradise were siblings or eden could mention it, if you would want a bit of a plot for the thread.

aaahhh, sorry for the late response!! i can make it, if you still want the thread. o:
