>>12460698> They seem visibly shy at first, but you anounce:"Hey guards, i umm, thought i'd repay you for taking care of my zebra problem, so i prepared lunch for you."
> "Ooh, i'm hungry." replies the pony.> The ape-thing gives her a stern look, but you proceed"That's good, i certainly hoped you were. And what about you mister..."
"Anon. His name is Anon, and he is a who-man."
"Echo, please, at least let me introduce myself."
"Oops, sorry, but i get excited when i can tell others about you. Also, i'm Echo, by the way."
"Echo and Anon, well you two are quite a team. Now please, sit down and let's eat."
> Echo sat down without a second though, the human, however, hesitated a bit. > "So, mister Anon, i've never seen a creature quite like you. Where are you from?"> The batpony readies herself to answer, but the human responds before she can speak: "I'm from a place called Earth. And quite honestly, i have no idea how i ended up here.""How can you have no idea? Were you kidnapped by any chance?"
"By interplanetary or interdimensional beings? I honestly have no clue. To be fair, I'm already accustoming myself to the idea i'll probably never return home. I'm a realist man."
"That's intriguing! A tremendous mystery, worthy of investigation if i must say! I used to be big on detective books when i was younger, have you ever read anything related to Sherlock Pones?"
"Well, i'm not really knowledgeable in the field of equestrian literature miss..."
"Oh my, forgive my rudeness, i haven't even introduced myself! My name is Silhouette."
"Heeeey, i recognize your name! Weren't you a royal investigator for a while?" Echo spoke with a mouthful of banana chips.
"Well, yes. I served my time in the royal guard, but i recently returned to my farm life."
"Since you were a investigator and you seem intrigued by Anon's history, don't you think you could help him to discover what really happened to him? Maybe you can even help him return home."
