I didn't know you were still kicking." =="Spare me!"== >there must be something in the water because you were sure that pony was responding verbally "Woah, chill, I'm not gonna kill you." >…. >what the fuck were you supposed to say to her? "Hey, Ehh. What's your name?" >smooth, anon. Real smooth =="R-red."== >she's still shook up >you decide to take off the hood of your raincoat to look less like a serial-killer "Look, I come in peace or whatever. Shit girl. Relax." >you approach her and try to lift her out of the grave >Red immediately recoils at your touch >"Re-lax. I promise i'm not gonna hurt you." >you looked at her again >poor thing was shivering "You're soaked in seawater. If you stay out here you'll freeze to death. Let me help you." =="But, you're-"== "Look at it as an apology for trying to bury you alive." >"Oh. Hmm, Ok" >finally >you pick her up by the torso and cradle her >shit, she's heavier than she looks >and dirty as fuck >you figure being lost at sea and near homicide (ponycide?) will do that to you     >getting her indoors you carefully place her in the hallway >Red shook herself getting all kinds of dirt on your previously clean shoes >you motherfucker >chill, anon. Chill >Red still looked miserable >maybe you should borrow her your shower >do ponies shower? >would the hair clog your drain?   "Hey, you might want to shower all that shit off. You're not threading my house with all that mud and salt on you." >wow anon, rood much? >"I mean. You should probably take a shower or something, you look cold, mam." >Geez, you were not good with women >being an isolated fuck will do that to you "Here, I'll show you the bathroom." >you walked her to your shower =="thanks…. Eh, what was your name?"== "Anon." >no way you're giving out your name to a talking horse >you're pretty sure talking horses were one of the seven signs of the apocalypse >damnshame.jpg     "You know how to shower, right?" =="What? Why wouldn't I?"== "It's just that, y'know. Not every day you see a talking horse." =="I am a pony though! What to you mean 'not every day?' Were are we?"== "What?" =="Were in Equestria are we, right now?"== "Uhh. Equestria?" … "Look, just take a shower and we'll talk, alright?" >Red shot you a suspicious look =="Alright. But you better spill the guts afterwards."== "I will, promise."     >you heard Red successfully manage to turn on the shower >you also heard her slip and fall >about to check it out you heard red call out somewhat in pain =="I'm alright, Anon!"==   >deciding to give her some peace you slumped down on your couch >what the fuck was going on? >maybe you should call the police, or the animal protective services >she might belong to some rich, gene-splicing scientist or something >maybe a government experiment? >it would have to wait til tomorrow though >even if you called now, it would take quite some time for authorities to reach your distant location >while getting caught up in deep thought you heard Red at the bathroom door >sounded like he was having some difficulties unlocking it >no hands >it makes sense how a horse would have a hard time opening doors now that you think about it >you walk on over and open it up for her =="Stupid door! Hey. Thanks by the way."== >Red was now squeaky clean and her cream colored coat was no longer defiled with dirt >she was still wet though "You know what a door is?" >Res shook herself like a dog, getting water all over you and her surroundings before heading to your living room >you mad =="Why wouldn't I know what a door is?"== >easy, anon. Easy "You don't have hands, for one thing." =="My hooves usually does the trick. I don't know why they didn't work just now."== >how? >Red sat down on your floor and you retired to your favorite spot on the couch =="So. Mr Anon. I have a lot of questions to ask you."== "I could say the same." =="Well shoot. Who's first?"==   >you got up to your feet to get a towel for the mess she made but figured you'd ask her some questions while doing so "So, how lazy were your parents when they decided to name you 'Red'?" =="I guess they thought it fitted my mane."== "Mhm." >you found a towel and started cleaning up after her =="I also heard from other ponies that it might be some form of symbolism but I've never really put too much thought into it. Why'd you ask? It's a pretty rude question."== "Messing up my house is pretty rude too. Stop drying yourself like a dog." >you tossed the towel in her face "There, clean up after yourself. I'm gonna make some food." >it was getting late and you'd hope to squeeze in a meal before night time   >you head into the kitchen but to your dismay there's not enough spaghetti left from last night to fill two stomachs "Fuck." =="What's wrong?"== >wait a minute >horses eat grass! >Anon, you're such a genius "You don't mind eating grass, do you? I don't have enough sketties for both." =="Yuck! Grass? Do I look like some sort of cow to you?"== "You're shitting me. Horses eat grass!" "But I'm not a horse, Anon." >god damnit "Alright, alright. There's a local bakery 15 minutes away from here. We'll go get some pizza and I can tell you all you need to know abut this place on the way." >there's no way you'd let that thing out of sight in your home =="Actually, I'm feeling a little bit tired, Anon. Can I borrow your floor for the night?"== "Eh, I'm not too comfortable having you sleep here and all." =="Pleeease~!"== >Red did a puppy look >it's super effective "Ffffuck. Fine. But I'll be watching you." =="That's fine, it's your home after all."== >Red took a couple of circles before laying down on a carpet >you kept looking at her from your spot on the couch >hours passed with vidya on your cellphone before you ere convinced she was sound asleep >with the grace of a Russian ballet dancer you swooped her up and placed her on the couch. >you got a blanket and wrapped her in before going to bed in your own room >tomorrow's gonna be fun
