002 [video] Day 416

[boogerman]

[Here on the network is Pitch and a Nightmare to keep him company. A flesh-and-blood horse that looks like one on the outside, that is, with glowing yellow eyes and midnight blue sandy coat of fur. It's as mortal as Pitch himself, which means somewhere there is probably a floor that needs to be cleaned.]

[Good chance that's why he's a bit irked right now.]

Happy as I am to see her, I'd love to let whoever is responsible know that horses don't belong around carpeted floors.

Where's the stable in this city?

[bestestfurrend]

Oh my paws! Is she one of them? She's beautiful! You must be so happy to have one of your Nightmares here! ...heehee, that would sound funny to anyone who didn't know what we were talking about.

[boogerman]

It makes Asgard that much more like home now.

[He's glad, really. Sweet baby Nightmares!]

[digophelia]

[It looks like that drawing Clementine had. Actually, it would be cute, in a way, if it weren't for him.]

How precious.

[boogerman]

[Doesn't it just? He's giving it a scratch around the ears on video.]

Ever been bitten by a horse?

[digophelia]

No. Have you ever been clubbed by one?

[This shouldn't be a thing they have in common right now, okay.]

[boogerman]

You carry around a seahorse club?

[digophelia]

Not always, but it makes a good blunt object.

[Hint hint.]

[boogerman]

What's it made out of?

[uncledaddy]

There's one near Gefion, where I keep my own. What kind of bloody horse is that?

[boogerman]

Free of charge or not?

A Nightmare, of course.

That... is an exceptional specimen of an exotic hoofbeast if I have ever seen one. There should be stables in Gefion, as memory serves, in Baldr, if others have not mentioned it already. I expect it will find the eight-legged beasts a curiosity.

[boogerman]

They're meant to be sand all the way through. This one's as mortal as I am in Asgard.

[Sad, really. Poor thing must be so confused.]

So I heard.

Re: Video

[alternia_strength]

Ah... it is a construction of sand and power in some fashion? [He's more the technical sort, but there were magical-classes in his world. The concept wasn't unheard of.] Intriguing. Is it alive, or merely a construction of will?

[bestestfurrend]

Oh, I'm sure! She's probably missing her other hoofbeast friends though, I hope you do find somewhere to keep her where she can meet some others! Can I visit her?

Video

[boogerman]

If you ask me, I'd say they're alive. They don't always obey orders perfectly.

[boogerman]

I'm getting there. There is a stable.

She might bite.

Re: Video

[alternia_strength]

Life takes many unusual forms. The fact that they operate as if they are on their own certainly makes it more likely.

[Clementine's eyes widen at the sight of the familiar Nightmare. It isn't something she ever actually expected to see. At least this one seems to be a normal horse? Not like the ones Jamie told her about, bringing actual nightmares.]

That's--

[boogerman]

Of course, we're all spirits and some of us never were 'alive'. As in mortal.

[boogerman]

[Horses can still bite, and don't need sharp teeth to make it hurt.]

My pet.

[historyrabbit]

[Squinting at the screen. Yep.]

Can't say I'm familiar with that breed of horse. What is she?

[digophelia]

Whatever I want it to be.

[Mostly true. She's not even sure how it's even here to begin with. That and the vorpal blade.]

Re: Video

[alternia_strength]

Mortality is a complex and unsimplified matter, frankly. Assuming it to be associated with biological limitations is foolish.

video;

[littlesurvivor]

It doesn't look like a pet to me. But I doubt that matters since you're not in Thor District so I'm not likely to see you or the....horse either way.

[Put on a show. Don't let him know she is actually kind of initially spooked at the sight of it in person like this.]

[bestestfurrend]

That's great!

And it's okay, I bite too.
