One Jewel: Diamond in a Tiara [Video | Water Trough]

[A rippling image shows on the network. Someone has connected on the surface of water. The connector's voice comes across clearly - it's a lilting voice like a young woman's - but if you try and try to make out what the image is, you'll find it most recognizable as the face of a white horse, leaning into the water, head slightly turned to get a good look with those wide-set eyes - mouth moving with the words.]

Hello?

I think I'm still not quite clear on a few things... What was all of that about "were-wolves" in the so-called Dead District of town? ...What a name.

I do hope that problem has been contained! It has, hasn't it? I'm a bit - confined - where I live, you see, and if there is any reason that I should have to keep watch for any... wild beasts, stalking around my master's home, well, I'd certainly like to know -- especially what with there being two foals living here!

[There's a scratching sound, the horse pawing at the ground before it turns its head to look into the water out of the corner of its other eye.]

...This is how this works, isn't it? Tell me, tell me that someone can hear me. Any part of it!

Anyone!

[ Such talent! Emery's never seen a ventriloquist act with a real-live horse before, after all, and he's that special kind of dazzled that means he's paid no attention to her actual statement. Naturally. ]

That's amazing! [ He's clearly utterly fascinated. It's the little things in life, really. ] I'll never be impressed by dressage again. How did you train a horse to do that?

Either well-trained horse and ventriloquist or mutant horse, granted sapience and tongue shape to produce English words. Equally likely at this point. Have to ask - which are you?

[If this had happened a bit over a week ago, Kotetsu would have thought he was going completely fucking insane. But after said werewolves...welp.]

...Can't say I saw that one coming. Welcome aboard, I guess.

Holy shit! [ there is definitely some jaw dropping happening rn.

hhhhnnngggh he wishes ravi were a part of this crazy tinhat group because LOOK THERE IS A HORSE TALKING, THAT IS SO COOL.

alas. ]

Sorry, try that again? [ he kind of forget everything she said to surprise. ]

[...well.]

Hello! Can you read this?

[Kenji's rather sorry to see an animal dragged into this mess, BUT HEY, TALKING HORSE IS COOL, RIGHT?]

...I guess it was just a matter of time.

[And now he'll try to say something actually useful.]

Uh...Could be wrong, but I don't think you have to worry about the wolves. They seem to be sticking pretty close to the DD.

...You haven't let anybody outside of here know you can talk, have you? Cause, yeah, that'd probably be a bad idea.

[Sasame would really, REALLY like to make a Mister Ed joke right now but he has a feeling after looking at the other bewildered responses that she probably wouldn't really find that particularly amusing.]

Hello...Miss? I'm Sam. I can understand you. I...well, I wasn't expecting a talking horse on the network.

I don't think you have anything to worry about yet--unless you've noticed anything suspicious happening at your home?

[ He's been trying to make out the image for some time now, just to be absolutely sure he's seeing what he's seeing. No mistaking it. ]

I can hear you, loud and clear. Um...

[ She probably knows she's a horse. He definitely knows she's a horse. He should probably just avoid this question all together. ]

You managed to connect through... water? That's really clever.

[A talking horse. Now he's seen everything. If only he were another medieval king from the land of Spare Oom, then he'd probably get the feeling this is supposed to be normal.

But alas.]

How are you doing that?

Now I've seen everything.

[Aaron is mostly composed -- he got over his surprise before replying.

He's talking to a horse.]

You have nothing to be afraid of. The werewolves' goal was to drive any lingering street people from the Dead District. Even if they do come back, you'll be safe enough where you are, miss...?

Really?

[ Sorry pony, more written something for you. Kallie just really doesn't know how she's supposed to take this little development. ]

I'm not even going to question anything at this point.

I don't know about the werewolves, but if you're worried about your foals I can try to help somehow.

[He cannot believe he is doing this.]

[ ... so there's another one? a horse? well... that's lucky for her. she's keeping tabs on you, fellow non-human!! ]
