[Video | In a skype window on her laptop]

[blind_devotion]

[The video feed is coming through her laptop, which she's holding out in front of her. She's outside, standing outside her front door, and looking rather uncomfortable.]

Sorry I only use this network when I need help, but, well...I need it. See, I had one of those echo...pulse...things last night. And I don't know what to do with - hey!

[She protests as something large and white enters from the side of the screen. It's a horse's head, aggressively and affectionately nuzzling against her hair. The image oscillates wildly as Alexa tries to fend its affections off while still holding up the laptop.]

Stop it! I can't! Down! Whoa! Uh, stop? Ugh...

[The image stabilizes into Alexa's face, this time with the horse in the background. She's looking pleadingly into the camera.]

Yeah, this happened. I don't know how to take care of a horse - and I have an upstairs apartment, Where am I going to keep her? - so, uh. Help? Any ideas?

Contact Chloe Weiss.

[blind_devotion]

Does she work with horses?

[siesinddasessen]

She's the horse lady on this network. Like a cat lady, just with logistical problems when it comes to having them sit on her chest.

[She has never actually seen Chloe interact with horses, almost all her knowledge comes from stalking on Google or the network. And she's done a good amount of stalking on everyone that she knows to be from the world with the bondage gear and man-eating giants.

Doesn't mean she can't say such things.]

[blind_devotion]

I see. Well, it certainly sounds like she could help.

You could try calling Cinderella and having her translate for you!

[Getting a talking horse to talk to a regular horse makes perfect sense!]

[blind_devotion]

Who?

[italktofish]

Cinderella! She's our resident talking pony--and she JUST discovered she's a unicorn, too!

[lackinginfaith]

A horse.

[blind_devotion]

Yes. A horse.

[lackinginfaith]

Well, that's an inconvenient Echo, but at least you've got offers.

I work at a stables. [He rattles off a number] Call Chloe, we may be able to take it in.

[blind_devotion]

That would be terrific. I can't keep her here, but I think...she's important somehow. She must be.

[youngestone]

If you got her from a pulse, she probably is. Talk about inconvenient though.

video.

[betroth]

Oh my god, look at her. She's beautiful! [ Chloe shh this woman has a situation, save your fawning for later. ] That must be terribly difficult to get around though, um... is — is she in your apartment right now?

Re: video.

[blind_devotion]

Oh god, no. I couldn't possibly get her up the stairs. I'm storing her in my landlady's garage - she's out of town until the end of the month.

[betroth]

Ah, I'm sorry! I — thought maybe you'd pulsed her back there. [ She can't help a laugh at the way the horse is treating her. ] She's very fond of you... I have room at my stables, but I'd have to be certain she'd leave you willingly, before I take her.

[blastiaobsessieanonymous]

... You gained a Horse as a pulse.

Must be a pretty cool horse.

[blind_devotion]

So one would assume. She seems like a perfectly normal horse to me, though--

[The horse starts nuzzling against her again.]

- friendly, though.

[blastiaobsessieanonymous]

It must have mattered enough in your past identity to be worth getting back now.

Though, yeah, there's a talking horse on the network. Cinderella, I think her name is. She'd probably be better able to help you than anyone else here.

[The very talking unicorn who's name has been dropped has tuned into transmission a pace or two slow, and she is hearing her name in the responses!

Ears are turning and then - cock askew as she's looking through them.] And what does everybody expect me to do? Not. To let anybody dow - naturally...

[First sentence high - incredulously intent rather than defensively - second pointedly drawled. It's been sometime since she's had to "speak" to another horse!]

Re: [Video]

[blind_devotion]

[Oh goodness, that actually is a talking horse. Okay. Uh. What do.]

I...I think they think you can talk to her.

[destinedforrock]

I~I was afraid of that, darling, sadly I can't say I count on that my first. "Language" hasn't left me.

[Assuming it can be fairly called a language as far as she knows; she's got no real memory of engaging with another horse in what it was like, let alone how the complexities worked, at this point.]

You-u-u'd probably have more luck with Miss Chloe. [Chloe's name accompanied by a nod, not quite straight - alas.]

[soulsborderline]

At least this one's quieter.

Re: Video

[blind_devotion]

Quieter? Than what?

[soulsborderline]

The other horse, of course.

[Dammit, she didn't do that on purpose.]

You must have met her by now.
