WANTED: HORSE ASSISTANCE

[noasark]

For all that it was a horrid experience, one good thing has come from participating in the research matters this particular month; while far from what I expected, I've managed to be reunited with my horse from home!

Unfortunately I now have to handle the question of where they can be housed. I don't recall seeing any campus stables. Perhaps I'm wrong, but regardless someone needs to tell me where they are if that's the case.

I want to make sure I can properly care for them while here for that matter. And perhaps socializing with other people will be good for them, ultimately.

(Her name is Kuma by the way. She was trained for dressage, and hopefully will be able to show that off.)

- Noa Kaiba

Huh...well, where I come from horses are usually pretty good at finding shelter for themselves! But Equestria's pretty different, I guess.

Maybe we can ask if we can build a stable.

[noasark]

...I'm going to take a guess and say 'Equestria's horses are some combination of...self-sufficient and magical...

Regardless, that's probably a good idea now that you mention it. If there isn't one, we're going to Need one.

[burningbrighter]

We are, yup. Both ways.

And I'm sure they'll let us! Our professors might not have everything under control, but they wouldn't abandon an innocent creature.

...right?

[noasark]

I would certainly hope not...

...But if necessary, I'm willing to find other ways to get what she needs. I'm not losing Kuma.

[burningbrighter]

I'll help you if I can. I've...sort of built things for a school play? My friend Applejack's a much better carpenter, I wish she was here. But I know what horses need.

[noasark]

Ah, well knowing what they need and having some construction experience is always a helpful start. Even if it comes to it, we should manage well enough this way.

[burningbrighter]

Don't worry, we've got this under control. I'll just...try to talk to them. I'm sure they'll listen.

[noasark]

Well...Thank you then.

[woo_oo]

YOU HAVE A HORSE?!

[she didn't read anything past that.]

[noasark]

[Noa can get behind this kind of enthusiasm.] I do~

With luck she'll be able to meet a number of you~

[woo_oo]

WHAT'S HER NAME????? WHAT DOES SHE LOOK LIKE????

[noasark]

[Noa maybe Cannot get behind this kind of enthusiasm-

Well actually it's easy enough to deal with by pausing at the bulletin board between messages.]

Her name is 'Kuma'. She's... [He almost gives the technical coat term but thinks better of it.] She's entirely brown in colour, right down to her eyes.

She's very lovely.

[woo_oo]

SHE SOUNDS BEAUTIFUL AND MAJESTIC!

[look most horse-based things back home have tried to kill her, let her be jazzed about this]

[noasark]

And you would be absolutely correct~

I take it you want to see her when it's possible?

[woo_oo]

YES PLEASE I WILL DO ANYTHING TO SEE HER

[noasark]

Well you won't have to 'do' anything...other than wait, I suppose.

I need to help her get settled...she was a little spooked as you can imagine.

[woo_oo]

Is there anything I do to help her feel less spooked?

[noasark]

Hmmm...

Well, at the moment I'm just trying to help her feel more at peace with the sudden change in environment...

...She could probably be convinced with snacks however. Apples, carrots, that sort of thing. If it tastes good, and has a crunch to it, you have a safe bet at it working.

[woo_oo]

I'LL GET HER AS MANY FRUITS AND VEGGIES I CAN GET MY HANDS ON!!!

[she's so stoked. so, very, stoked.]

[noasark]

Ah...

Two or three is fine- it'll have just as much effect as any more than that would!

[woo_oo]

Are you sure? I can carry lots of stuff, and I'm light and nimble so I can do it really quickly!

[noasark]

It's not a matter of what you can hold though- it's a matter of how much she can eat!

You wouldn't want to just feed someone too many chocolate bars right? Anyone would get sick after that.

[woo_oo]

Endless chocolate bars sound so good though.

[focus, webs.]

But I think I get what you're saying.

[noasark]

Sounds good, yes.

Ends good, not so much after the fourth or fifth. [he refuses to admit to speaking from experience]

[woo_oo]

Now I think I need to learn from experience.

[She just wants an excuse to eat lots of chocolate.]

[noasark]

I don't recommend that.

[woo_oo]

I'll take your warning into consideration.

[And ignore it.]

[king_of_egypt]

[Atem is still a bit shaken up from the whole affair- the memory of Bakura and his wicked aims still fresh on his mind. Still, he tries not to have that bleed into his conversation on the bulletin board system. Noa obviously had to have experienced something himself...if he could see some silver lining in the experience then it was best not to overshadow it.]

That is some good fortune. [Atem knew a thing or two about horses himself.] I hope you'll be able to find the proper accommodations for her.

- Atem

[noasark]

[Ohoh-]

Familiar with horses yourself then?

SSShhhh, totally pretending this isn't way late.

[gender_neutral]

[Have a reply in purple ink.]

"Make sure if you check your horse you keep your claim check return stub."

omg

[noasark]

[wait what]

We have a 'checking' service?

This was a thing in canon >.>

[gender_neutral]

"Generally it is a plot convenience, like time skipping ahead when no one has anything much they need to accomplish before nightfall."

omg

[noasark]

[ah]

I'm not entirely certain that applies here...

Re: omg

[gender_neutral]

"Well, it is up to you, I can lead you to advice, I cannot make you think."

[noasark]

[WHOMST-]

I sincerely hope that was not an insult to my intelligence.

[gender_neutral]

"Did you choose to perceive it as one?"

[noasark]

[THAT'S A TRICK QUESTION!!! HE'S NOT ANSWERING IT!]

Regardless, I'm going to look into some sort of registration.

[It's not the same as Checking.]

[gender_neutral]

"As I said, do not lose the ticket."

[noasark]

[HE'LL MAKE SURE...but otherwise that seems to be it, he doesn't respond from there.

Probably rolled his eyes though. That's rude Noa.]
