13th Tactic [action]

[action; all over town]

[It isn't every day you open your door to a big, green horse-like... thing. Today, however, is one of those days for Caesar. This immediately makes it a bad day, considering he's never actually owned one of these before. He may have tolerated one during his travels in the Grasslands, but come on, a horse? Really?Okay. You

-Here she comes to save the day. On her own mighty steed. And both are just kind of staring at him.-

You, uh... Need any help?

[commentboxtroll]

No, no, I've got this.

[He's slooowly approaching the horse as it samples some neighbor's shrubbery.]

[rapier_ex]

Well if nothing else, it'll be funny watching you try.

[commentboxtroll]

Gee, thanks for the encouragement.

[Whatever, whatever, he can get this done as long as he doesn't startle it. Caesar creeps closer and closer, and reaches for the reins once more. This time, get manages to grab them before the horse looks up.]

[Crowe is out on his motorcycle today, heading to school, and stops at a stop sign. Suddenly there is an odd creature crossing in front of him. You'd think living in Mayfield for so long, this sort of thing wouldn't be surprising, but even that gets his attention.

Seeing Caesar following it, he calls over to him.]

Ah... Is that... yours?

[commentboxtroll]

[Following, following, all across town. He stops on the corner when Crowe calls out and looks at him for, about, two seconds, before resuming his watch on the creature.]

Sort of.

[It's going to stand there in the street, chilling, not a care in the world, blocking traffic.]

[perfektsymmetry]

I see. It's, um... Well what it is? We don't have anything like that where I come from.

[commentboxtroll]

It's a horse.

[Of course, he realizes it doesn't look a lot like some horses do, so he'll try to helpfully add:]

A Grasslands one. That's what theirs look like.

[Ruri is headed home from work and peers at Caesar and the horse]

Hrm... Is that yours Caesar? You never struck me as the cowboy type.

[commentboxtroll]

[Don't distract him, Ruri, he's almost got the damn thing's reins and... nope. It reared up and away again, sidling away from him. He glowers after it.]

Unfortunately... and I'm not the cowboy type, for the record.

[hontobakabaka]

I know. You don't have a hat.

Have you tried tempting it with an apple?

[commentboxtroll]

An apple? [Oh sure, that seems so obvious now that someone else has said it.] Ah, well, I don't even know if these eat fruit.
