ATTENTION: My horse is missing.

Please, PLEASE, if you're in Locke City, keep an eye out for a large black mare with a white diamond splotch on her forehead.

Please.

Thank you.

[ Walter can be found searching frantically for said horse while driving his mother's car. He is not nearly as calm as he seemed in the PSA, but that's the beauty of text. He's a mess of tears, snot, and panic, and even worse at driving than usual. Pedestrians and fellow drivers, beware! He can be found just about anywhere in the city, because he's not calm or rational enough to perform an organized search. ]

[ The thief hasn't actually gotten all that far, but to be fair, it is hard to get around unnoticed in a city while riding a horse. As soon as he gets far enough from the ranch he's probably going to stick out.

His ultimate goal is the teleporter, but he could easily be intercepted. Maybe even convinced to give the horse back. ]

I gotta ask.
How do you lose a horse?

[waltharius]

1) Wandered off?
2) Stolen???

[brotimaeus]

Both valid.
Where were you keeping it and could someone have stolen it with no one noticing.

[waltharius]

A ranch and I don't know. I can't see it being easy but anything's possible these days.

[brotimaeus]

Yeah ok you have a point there.
I'll keep an eye out for any stray horses.

Oh, uh. I was gonna say somethin' stupid like 'Do you have a picture?' but then I realized just how stupid that question was.

[There he is, fiery red and throwing on his coat--]

[ No. No video. He can't face anyone right now. ]

You're going to look for her?

Thank you. THANK YOU.

[knights_king]

Uhhhh. [He said that a lot.]

I mean, sure. Horses are really expensive, right? It'd suck if you lost it for good.

She is priceless.

[knights_king]

Don't worry, pal, I'll look! [Arthur was pulling on a coat, giving Walter a confident smile.]

I've got a sixth sense, y'know?

[gogoghostpowers]

[Oh dang. This is bad.]

Do you know what happened to her?

[text]

[waltharius]

If I did I'd tell you. She could've gotten loose or been stolen I just don't know Danny.

[text]

[gogoghostpowers]

Okay, hang on, where do you normally keep her? Is she usually like locked in a stable or something?

[text]

[waltharius]

Kept in a stable, yes. She's been there for over a year with no issues.

[text]

[gogoghostpowers]

Have you gone there yet? If she broke out it's probably damaged somehow, right? And if not, that means somebody opened the door or gate or whatever and let her out.

[He thinks. He's no expert in horses, really.]

[hustru]

[Horse.

In the city.

And not a police horse, either. She wants to say something when Floweregg schoots past her and starts to circle the giant horse.]

[waltharius]

[ Careful, Floweregg. You are so small and the horse is so very big. She backs up a step and leans down to sniff at the circling puppy.

Her rider just looks annoyed. And a little familiar, though he's... chopped his hair short? For some reason? And obviously not professionally. ]

Can I help you?

[notbloody]

Can you talk?

[Sorry, Doppel-Wally, we are very clearly not talking to you here. She even leans up to shove her face against the horse's. The horse did seem fairly intelligent...]

[waltharius]

No, she's not a goddamn Disney animal.

[ Agro seems mildly startled, though okay with the affection, but... Doppel!Wally pulls on her reins and she backs off a bit. ]

Move or get trampled. Your choice.

[hustru]

Not her choice.

[Siiri intervenes now, suddenly, stepping forward and placing a hand on the horse's neck, lightly but decidedly, glaring up at dopple!Wally with sharp eyes.]

Yours. [Her eyes narrow.] You changed.

[ghostly_heiress]

Is it a special horse, or just normal lost horse?

[waltharius]

Special to me.

No weird powers if that's what you meant.

[ghostly_heiress]

Well, that's something.

What part of town is the stable? Where she might be?

[waltharius]

It's [ INSERT LOCATION HERE ]

I looked around the immediate area, of course.

[ghostly_heiress]

I figured, but at least there's only so many paths a horse can take.
