[Action] Parties scheduled over surprise parties, like venison in the Szechuan chicken!

[kitchenfistfirechaosstyle]

[Why has everybody been turning down Pinkie Pie's party invites? Including fellow teacher Champloo?]

[Well, he can't speak for anyone else, but amongst the SeeDs, instructors, faculty, and current and former students of Ms. Pie and himself, he has been arranging a surprise party for her for some time. And while it is grossly inconvenient for her to have chosen to host a party for herself at the same time as the surprise party, he is confident that the other invitees will reveal nothing and excuse themselves with grace and dignity, which Pinkie Pie will understand perfectly.]

[Just like he had.]

[Hoboy.]

[Whatever the case, the evening after Pinkie's invitational efforts finds him running about to confirm attendance and make sure all is in readiness.]

[OOC: Assume your character got invited if you want them to be invited. (And is being nigh-forced to attend, if you want them to but they wouldn't normally!) On the other hand, if they try to tell Pinkie the truth, they will have a cranky demonic chef descend upon them. He can communicate with the heart of ingredients, after all, and all Garden is an ingredient in this party.]
