How do I make them stop following me?

[It's Horse again, and somehow she's managing the network okay. But she seems to have a problem: there's ferrets, owls, and capybaras following her EVERYWHERE. She's currently somewhere in town, and the pet parade seems to be following her. And she's not happy about it.]

Don't you want someone else to take care of you? Someone who's like, more capable? Just - just go somewhere else! Quit following me, I can't take care of you!

[She turns her attention back to the network]

Seriously how do I make them stop?

[Oh look a talking horse, Souma learned what this is called when he was turned into one in his last world.]

Good evening, Madame Kelpie. Have you perhaps tried showing them a terrifying visage?

Y'know, you're the second person to call me that. I'm just a normal horse. ... That talks.

I can't really show them anything but - oh, maybe they'll run if they see fire!

[That's one of her magical abilities.]

Oh, my apologies, I did not realize. Until not long ago I was a Kelpie myself. How would you like to be addressed, Madame?

[Souma bows respectfully.]

I am Souma, of the People of the Black Thread. You certainly have a lovely grey coat? If you find yourself needed to be combed....

There's a good idea. Fire is quite intimidating.

You were a Kelpie? Oh and um, you can just call me Horse. That's what everyone calls me.

You don't have to be so formal! Really! I'm just a regular horse.

Nn. And while I love animals... being a Kelpie was un.... pleasant, for it is a type of. Horrifying creature. Attacks people. I would have much ra-rather have been a regular horse.

[Souma feels very confused by this. It might even show a bit in his expression, which habitually is... not a lot.]

You ha-haven't a name other than your species? Eeeh, this is shocking? D-d-did you not have good people who were your partners?

In my village, a magnificent steed like you would be given an equally magnificent name. To honour you and the work you do.

Well, I only have experience as a horse, so I'd say being a horse is better than being anything else.

Rider is the best human I could ask for. I don't need a "fancy" name. I'm happy just being Horse.

I would agree. You can gallop! Canter! Trot! Swish annoying things with your tail! Horses like you are truly awe inspiring.

Oh, that is no problem, then, if you prefer it so. I am sorry, I did not mean to judge, Horse-san. Your coat is very pretty, by the way. What do you like to eat?

That’s okay. I’m fine with just being called Horse, you know? But thanks.

I like carrots and apples a lot.

Oh, the horses at home like those too! How interesting! Our horses also like watermelon and pumpkin a lot. Do you?

Do you have a preference between red, yellow, or green apples?

[ A talking horse?? Is this a regular horse or one of the otherworlders? Not the time to question it -- he's gotten used to hearing animals talk, at this point. ]

Ah, do you need some help? You're not an animal mage, are you?

[When Horse sees the username, she freezes for a moment. But the voice isn't her Rider, and she feels her stomach sink a little.

Of course.]

No, I can use fire magic? But that seems a little extreme to use that here...

[ May as well leave the video on. Ryouma looks quite interested, probably a little too interested to be considered polite.

Right. He's trying to help her. ]

I'm not great with my animal magic, but I could try talking to them for you?

You can talk to them? Can you tell them to give me some space?

I can try, if you think it'll help.

[ Obviously the voice of a preteen boy, and with an odd response… Not really caring about the poor Horse’s troubles. He’s got his own. ]

Hey! If you see one of those, uh— comipinathius-es… [ Th-That is not it… ] …with really intense, pretty eyes— that’s Sofia. She’s mine. She ran away. Lemme know, will ya?

[Horse is quietly trying to shoo away a ferret running around her legs, but she hears the voice of a young boy.]

A compi-what? What's she look like?

Compsinagthisus.

[ Nope. Still not it. ]

Big lizard monster thing. Long tail. Little arms. Lots of teeth. She looks like this.

[ He attaches an image... ]

I haven't seen her, but if I do I'll let you know.

[She can sympathize. She knows what it's like to be separated from your best friend.]

... I promise I will.

Okay, great— thanks.

Oh, and, uh— she's... um... easily startled. And a little shy? So just, eheh, keep that in mind. I-In case you find her.

[ He means to say she's a dangerous dinosaur with lots of sharp teeth and she'll bite you on a whim, but, ahem, he's not saying that. ]

Step on one of them to show dominance, that should get them to leave you alone.

[Yeah this kid is not the best advice giver.]

They're just little animals, I'm not gonna step on one.

[Now crushing the skulls of her enemies, yes!]

Ugh, this is so embarrassing - I'm a war horse, not some... pet... sitter!

But you want them to leave you alone, right? Just threaten to step on one of them then if you don't want to actually do it.

[Just imagine them as tiny enemies!]

Ugh, you know... you're right. Time for some tough... well, this isn't tough love, just being tough!

[She clears her throat.]

Hey! Tiny animals! If you don't leave me alone I'm gonna stomp you to pieces!!

[A pause. A capybara cuddles up against her leg.]

...

[Seriously?]

A threat isn't going to work, it looks like.

Ughhh, ENOUGH ALREADY!

[Horse lets out a loud neighing sound, stomping the ground. This actually seems to work, as it sends the small animals scattering away.]

[Chara claps at that, a slow one even. Because they're impressed that it worked all things considered.]

Ugh...

[It doesn't... feel good, to do that.]

I'm a war horse! Why does everyone want to keep being my friend?!

Good question. Maybe you give off a "needs friends" vibe?

I don't need friends, the only person I need is Rider! Who isn't here! Who I'm probably never going to see again because I keep getting whisked away to to other worlds!

... You know that just means more people are going to try and be your friend, even if you don't want them to.

Oh wow, you've got quite the little entourage going.

Yeah, maybe I should just rename myself "the Friendship Horse" instead of just Horse.

( Oh, a horse...? How fun! Tohru's seen her fair share of animals on the network, but seeing a horse is definitely a first. )

It looks like you've made some new friends.

( But, as for the question... )

There are a lot of people here who have animal magic. They may be able to speak to them for you.

( And if there's no one nearby, Tohru's happy to help! )

Really? I wish I had animal magic, then I could tell them to GO AWAY!

[That last part was directed at her entourage of animals, but they keep swarming around her feet.]

Ugh... do you know anyone who could help?

( Nervous laughter leaves Tohru then. Her personality isn't far too different from Rin's from what she can tell, despite the two only just starting to speak to one another. Rin was someone who didn't seem to prefer to be around a crowd, either... )

W-Well... if you'd like... I can try to help.
