║ eighty-sixth stanza ║ voice

[mumbled_truth]

So... a lot of the time, on days like this, we wind up seeing people we know. Either from home, or from the City, or just from seeing them before, when this happened.

I, um-- I just wanted to see if anyone I knew was here. I know that's what most people hope for, on these weekends - I always do.


[ooc: Still tagging slow, but backtagging friendly! Don't tell him he's not real and no cast duplicates, thank you! <3]

I'd like to hear the same but I can't say that I do.

[mumbled_truth]

There isn't anyone you know here?

[fluttershyly]

[Why yes, ponies can make network devices do video.]

H-hello? I don't know if you remember me, but I wanted to say hello, so hello.

[mumbled_truth]

[Have a small, friendly smile.]

Yeah, I do remember you.

Hello. Are you doing all right?

video;

[fluttershyly]

Oh, I'm so pleased! It's nice to see you again.

I... um. I suppose so.

video;

[mumbled_truth]

It's nice to see you again, too.

[And a little amusement.]

You sure?

video;

[fluttershyly]

I'm almost entirely sure.

[That sure.]

video;

[mumbled_truth]

Well, I guess that's good.

Did anyone come with you this time?

video;

[fluttershyly]

No... I-I don't think so. I haven't seen them.

video;

[mumbled_truth]

Oh-- well, um, I'm sorry to hear that.

[Hmmm... ]

Do you... would you rather be alone, or would you like some company for a while?

[Because he is willing to go out and see the very shy pony, but he knows better than anyone that sometimes you honestly don't want people all up in your business of being shy and whatnot.]

video;

[fluttershyly]

It's okay.

[She perks up juuust a little.]

I-I don't want to be alone, if you're not terribly busy.

video;

[mumbled_truth]

I'm not busy at all.

[And a little smile is back.]

Where are you?

video;

[fluttershyly]

If you're sure. I don't want to be a bother.]

I'm in the garden... Xanadu?

video;

[mumbled_truth]

It's not a bother, really.

I'll come by, then. Do you want me to bring you something to eat?

[ ... hay? Carrots? He... doesn't really know what magic talking ponies eat, but. ]

video;

[fluttershyly]

Okay, and thank you ever so much.

Oh, no. I'm just fine.

[treadingwater]

Hello, Todd. It's been a while...I think. Never can be too sure around here.

[mumbled_truth]

Alester-- yeah, it has been. Though, uh... honestly, it's always a little hard to keep track, even from this side.

[treadingwater]

I just can't seem to stay away from this place on a permanent basis. How have you been? Are things here much the same? That is to say, as chaotic as ever?

[mumbled_truth]

A lot of people seem to have that issue.

Um... I'm okay, though. It's, uh-- it's definitely still chaotic. Crazy things overrunning the City every now and again, standard day curses sprinkled all over the rest of the time. So, yeah. The usual.

[fifty_eggs]

It's always nice to see familiar faces, I guess.

voice;

[mumbled_truth]

[Yeah he sees what you did there.]

Or hear familiar voices?

voice;

[fifty_eggs]

Echo, echo.

It's been a while. How's life in between?

voice;

[mumbled_truth]

Um... a little crazier than usual, but I guess... not terrible.

How long has it been for you, since you were here?

voice;

[fifty_eggs]

Same old, same old. The life of a starving artist.
