video, un: Horse

[There's a video of a large, gray horse struggling to use her phone. She's managed to set it to video... somehow. But as far as using its other features? Well, it's pretty hard to do with hooves. The video shows a close up of her face, and then her nose as she moves around the phone device. It looks like she's inside the inn, but the inn looks too small for a horse.]

Is this thing on right now? What is it doing? What's it supposed to do?

Ugh, I wonder if I can find any place more comfortable than here...

[ You'd really think she should be more used to this, having met Red Hare in Chaldea and all, but she still absolutely balks at what she's seeing. ]

H-hello, my... lady? Ah, perhaps I could be... of some help?

Do you prefer a stable?!

[ Was that the right thing to say? She just sort of blurted it out. ]

[Well, that's something you don't see every day.]

The stable's around back.

And if you're trying to record, it's working.

O-Oh uh...Hi? It's definitely on. Right now you're broadcasting a public video to the network.

[By the surprised look on her face, it might be easy to tell she wasn’t expecting the phone to talk back to her.

She’s experienced weirder things though.]

Actually… that would be great. A lot more comfortable than this little room.

[She looks surprised by the device talking back.]

Oh good! Would’ve been nice if they told me that earlier.

Record…? Is that what this thing is doing?

Oh, I am? I have no idea what this thing actually does. I can barely use it.

[That sure is a horse talking. Xue Yang stares for several long minutes and then he laughs.]

Are you looking for a stable? Maybe a barn?

There's a public stable closer to the main inn, I believe, but you might be more comfortable with a private stable...

[ She's trying to think... ]

My brother should be able to help here! I should get in touch with him.

[Here, have a boy just staring right at you.]

I thought seeing talking ducks or animals should shock me but it's pretty unusual to see a talking horse.

[Horse looks unamused, but that may be partially due to how uncomfortable she is in this room.]

Yeah, actually, that would be great.

It's pretty unusual for me too. I'm not normally a talking horse, but ever since I got teleported to Centaurworld, I guess... that's my life now.

You can get me into a stable? That's... uh, really nice of you. Thanks.

[She really doesn't have to do that, especially to some horse she's only just now met.]

... You haven't seen any centaurs around here, have you?

Edited 2021-09-15 03:12 (UTC)

Surprised you wouldn't have guessed.

But yeah, more or less that's what it's doing. Or I guess broadcasting would be the better word.

I have not, my lady.

In truth, you are but the second horse I've met in my life that can speak.

[ But it's weird that it's happened twice. ]

[Poor girl. How did she even get through the door? Remarkable.]

I'll look for one. I'm on the move anyway.

Well, it's a device that allows you to connect to everyone else here. Either by reaching out to the network, like you're doing, or by calling someone specifically.

I...suppose it would be more difficult to use with hooves, though.

Yeah, if you're not familiar with them, phones can be hard to use even when you're taking them seriously... let alone if you're just horsing around.

[The gleam in his eyes is just this side of insufferable, despite his innocent smile. This is totally a sense-of-humor check.]

Wait, then how were you able to talk to others? Unless you were just a regular horse before you got to Centaurworld?

Whatever that is.

[Oh gosh. The pun.]

Oh ha ha. You're about as funny as Tail.

[Her tail... tells bad puns. It's a thing. She hates it.]

I was a normal horse before I got to Centaurworld, then I could talk, sing, dance... you name it. It's pretty weird. Not that I mind talking to people now, but it was just something I couldn't do before.

[It wasn't easy.]

Thanks. What's your name?

Oh. Well in that case...

[She takes a deep breath.]

Rider! Riderrrr!! Can you hear me?!

[No Horse that's not how you use this thing.]

Well, these things don't really... exist in my world? Or the other world I was in.

[It's weird that she's been to like, 3 worlds now.]

Second horse? Is the first talking horse here?

N-no... [ She kind of wishes he was, if only to make this less awkward. ]

We're not exactly close, either. Maybe you know of him? His name is Red Hare, horse of Lu Bu, kind of a big deal?

Not a lot of technology then?

[That is a highly acceptable reaction. He's satisfied!]

Have you figured out what magic you ended up with, here? There's an off chance one of those will help, if you got kinesis or technomancy.

Well you sure are taking it into stride and especially when you just ended up here.

[Pause] But you doing okay?

Edited 2021-09-18 19:56 (UTC)

Xue Yang. Let me guess yours...

Horse?

No, I don't know what magic I ended up with. How do I find out?

I'm... I mean I'm physically okay, but I really gotta get back to Centaurworld - no, I mean my world! I can't just, sit around here while Rider could be in danger!

You guessed it.

No, a lot of stuff in my world is destroyed. And Centaurworld is... well, I guess they don't really have a lot of technology in Centaurworld?

Never heard of him. Maybe from another world?

Truth be told, even if I'm from the same world, China may as well feel like a whole new world... [ A small laugh. ]

A-anyways, you're definitely the only talking horse here, that I know of.

[He got it right? Victory.]

I would've given you something better.

The easiest way is to go down to the training area or someplace safe and just start trying them out. Some of them are easy, like Kinesis or Elemental, so if you have one of those figuring it out can be pretty simple.

Mastering it is another thing, but hey, with time.

Rider?

[He said with a raised eyebrow.] Uh...you're going to have to tell me what's going on. Exactly what is happening to your world and your friend again?

I...can't say I've heard of a place by that name. But, I'm sorry to hear about your world.

[ The yelling startles him a bit, and he scrambles to keep his phone from falling on the floor. ]

H-Hang on! If you're trying to call someone specific you have to call them on their phone.
