Hay or Neigh

[waterproofed]

The weather's finally warmed up, so I wanted to invite everyone who's interested down to the stables for horseback riding lessons. All the horses are eager for some exercise. I can either do a solo lesson or in groups, depending on who all is interested.

You're gonna have to get someone else to teach you how to ride that giant bird and the hippogriff, though. I don't speak bird.

[delincuente]

You don't speak bird? Implying that you do speak something else?

[She is more and more amused by Percy every time they talk. And by "amused" she kind of means "weirded out", but she isn't one to talk.]

[ol_northy]

Do I even want to know what a hippogriff is?

[dictated]

[waterproofed]

I speak to the horse, of course of course.

[he's just being goofy now]

dictated;

[waterproofed]

It's half bird and half horse. The back end is the horse, so that's why I can't understand it.

dictated;

[ol_northy]

[WHAT.]

Alright, I've seen some weird things, but that's up there with the best of 'em.

dictated;

[waterproofed]

It's pretty weird. The horses don't mind it, though.

dictated;

[ol_northy]

Or they only half mind it?

[That was a joke...]

dictated;

[waterproofed]

[Percy laughs] Good one!

dictated;

[ol_northy]

[SWEET. Okay, that was York-style, and he pulled it off.]

So, horses, huh?

dictated;

[waterproofed]

Yeah. Most of them were owned by residents who are gone now. There are a few who were wished up.

dictated;

[ol_northy]

I didn't know you could wish up animals... I feel like I'm in a whole new world. So if I wanted a dog, I could wish one up?

dictated;

[waterproofed]

Sure, but you'd have to be specific. You might get something random if you don't tell the castle exactly what breed you want.

dictated;

[storiestotell]

Oh, I can speak bird! I can help with that!

[ Katherine, please. ]

dictated;

[waterproofed]

Cool. You can do the bird and the hippogriff. [yep just gonna accept that comment]

dictated;

[storiestotell]

I've never seen a hippogriff before! [ Definitely accept this comment. ] What are they like?

dictated;

[waterproofed]

Pretty dangerous. This one likes it when you look it in the eye and show it respect.

[kid_apocalypse]

I don't need lessons, but I'd love to help out, if there's need for it. I haven't had an excuse to go riding in a long time, so it'd be nice to get back in the saddle, heh.

[waterproofed]

Sure, drop by and we'll figure something out.

I'm also setting up Evan to find and claim Jono's Flygon from the pokemon plot =3

[kid_apocalypse]

Are you down at the stables now? I don't have anything else going on right now, so I could walk down and see what's up. I talked to Gren about it too, but haven't had a chance to come down yet.

[pint_sized_carnivore]

Horseback riding? I never tried that before, so it sounds like fun.

[waterproofed]

Yep, I'm at the stables most days.

[waterproofed]

It's great! More people should try it.

==> Action!

[kid_apocalypse]

All right, I'll be right down!

[A short while later Percy will be joined by that gray-skinned kid from the Space Olympics, looking curiously around the stables.]

Hi Percy! You know, I think I've been down here once before, but I never really got to look around that much. I met the elf lady, Galadriel down here once.

[pint_sized_carnivore]

[Chie still feels a little weird after that time in the Space Olympics, so she's a little unsure whether or not to give it a try. But since he didn't mention any of it, she thought he might have forgotten? ]

Yeah, uh, I-I think I could try it. My schedule's free.

[waterproofed]

[oh hey he sort of remembers you now]

The horses talk about her a lot. They really like her.
