Good morning, kupo! I'd like to introduce you all to my partner Barbara! She doesn't read or write very well, but she assures me that she doesn't need to in order to save anyone's world.

She would like to know if there is anyone here named Sol, Sarah, Dusk, or Aigis.

Also, she would like people to tell her about the horses here! She's seen people riding them and that they don't have horns to gore you with. I'm not sure why she thinks they would do that, kupo...

[ If this is the same Barbara he's thinking of, then he'll forego text and go straight to audio. ]

Technically speaking, there is at least one equine creature here with a horn, but I can guarantee with certainty that she's not going to gore anyone.

Corwin! Rose man.

Equine means horse?

Re: voice

[thepattern]

That's me, the rose man. How are you settling in, Barbara?

Yes, horses are equine. Just like dogs are canine, and cats are feline.

voice

[dragongrrl]

Hotel room tiny. Barbara go outside.

Why not just say horse, dog, cat?

Good morning, Sir Kupo... Huh... I have little experience with horses, but they don't seem dangerous creatures, perhaps they're different here?

audio

[dragongrrl]

Oh! Hold on, kupo--

[and the voice changes to that of a human woman.]

Horse monsters at home, sharp horns, big hoofs, angry. Barbara not meet, but knew from family.

My familiar is a horse with horns. Four of them, in fact. But yeah, ordinary horses around here aren't like that.

text

[dragongrrl]

Four horns, kupo! She's asking why it needs so many, and how big it is.

[birdflipping]

It's a demon. Horns are usually a thing with demons.

Normally it makes itself smaller, so it's just the size of a really small pony. Or a big dog. It can get bigger if it needs too, though.

[dragongrrl]

How much bigger, kupo?

Horses

are definitely not meant to gore anyone. Are you thinking of elk?

[ which were not at all horses but she's so confused. ]

text

[dragongrrl]

She's quite specific about it being horses. Or "horse-like beasts." I don't think she knows what an elk is.

[beaumains]

Well, if nothing else, I suppose she should count herself blessed that such fearsome sounding creatures aren't here?

[dragongrrl]

She says she isn't afraid of fighting horses. But I'm sure she's happy that she doesn't have to, kupo. But now she wants to know if she needs to keep an eye out for elk!

Hi Barbara! [He has a friend named Barbara back home, so he's already inclined to like her now.]

I dunno what horses are like here, but are they really that monstrous in your world?

voice

[dragongrrl]

No horses around Barbara home, but Barbara know about them from what family say. Horses in other lands, aggressive, territorial, dangerous. Don't let humans sit on backs and tell what to do.

voice

[rotacalamitas]

[Bennett immediately takes notice of the way she speaks. She talks like his friend Razor, how cool! Maybe he should introduce them sometime, Razor would probably be delighted to meet a person with similar speech patterns to him.]

Whoa... That's crazy. Come to think of it, I don't think I've ever seen a horse in person. [He might have heard of them at some point? Surely once upon a time people in his world used horses for some sort of purpose.] When it comes to moving stuff, we just use transport balloons usually.

voice

[dragongrrl]

What transport balloon? Many strange words and new devices on... Avalon. [there's something like unease or even disgust as she says the name.] Transport balloon. Like airship?

[forgeabettertomorrow]

I don't recognize those names...but I'm pretty new myself. I've only been here a month.

Are you interested in horses? If you get one, I'll be more than happy to shoe them for you! I'm a blacksmith, after all!

Voice

[dragongrrl]

[there's a pause.]

Horses... wear shoes? Like human? Barbara not see shoes.

Re: Voice

[forgeabettertomorrow]

[Hoo boy...]

...Kinda? It's the metal things on the hooves of a horse's feet. They're meant to protect a horse's hooves like boots.

Voice

[dragongrrl]

Horse feet hard and tough, why need protection? Horse kicks very hard and hurt a lot.

[omnicrafter]

I heard a "kupo"... Is that a moogle?

Could she be talking about unicorns? I don't actually know if they exist here, but where I'm from, they'll absolutely gore you if you cross them.

voice

[dragongrrl]

[there's a "kupooo!" of excitement on the other end.]

Moogle! Name Moogle, Barbara familiar.

You know moogles?

[omnicrafter]

I do! They're pretty common in my world. Though the naming pattern they use is quite different, as well.

But I haven't heard of any of your friends, I'm afraid. It may just be you and Moogle for the time being.
