WHAT in person
WHERE the farm, though feel free to have encountered the GHOST HORSE
WHEN Night 3/Day 4 morning
NOTES ADVENT OF THE GHOST HORSE and/or MILD MANNERED PETTING ZOO ARRIVAL! (open/see below)

[anyone out wandering past Day 3's midnight (definitely doing something productive and not trying to find munchies or stagger home drunk) who happened to skirt too close to the wide-open spaces near the lake or woods might have gotten the fright of their lives last night. a dim, pale shape resolved in the distance, accompanied by an inexplicable ringing sound. if they were unlucky enough to be standing in the wrong spot, the chiming got louder and louder, and before they quite realized what was happening some kind of huge ghostly creature had swept past with desperate speed, an invisible force pushing anyone in the way off their feet to safety. A VERY SCARY GHOST!

a single resident of Quiet Mounds alone heard something else in this period: a familiar noise in his head.]

[...there's no explanation for the Ghost Animal Mystery if that just so happened to scare you last night. but if you arrive at the farm anytime past early morning Day 4, a beautiful white horse now seems to be part of the petting zoo. she's eating her hay in the field peacefully, barely flicking an ear at you; well, it's not like horses take a lot of notice of humans normally. or talk.]

((Notes: anyone can feel free to handwave Yfandes scaring you on Night 3, she wasn't paying attention to who she almost ran over! GHOST HOOOORSE. I'll play out her nearly running you over if you really want to and comment to that effect. otherwise, please check my stats and link me to your own/let me know anything you want her to be able to sense from your character! thanks guys ♥))

[with absentminded instincts like that I can see how we could be future friends]

:That's very flattering, but I'm not here to be hosted...:

[abardacttofollow]

Making it even stranger, I know.

[ahorseforgood]

:I just don't want you to feel so much pressure...!:

[half-laughing]

[abardacttofollow]

Do you know, I used to be a really easy-going boy.

[ahorseforgood]

:Until you fell in with such easy-going company, do you mean? We'll try to relax a little.:

[RUEFUL]

[abardacttofollow]

Oh, I'm—I'm not blaming the company!

[ahorseforgood]

:You could blame the company a little, I think. But I appreciate the thought.:

[abardacttofollow]

It's more that the company is and was good and then circumstances went really bad.

[ahorseforgood]

[sighs...]

:Not an unusual story.:

[abardacttofollow]

Hopefully will be one here. Though I shouldn't want a Herald and Companion to be bored.

[ahorseforgood]

[VERY FIRMLY]

:No, by all means wish for that.:

[abardacttofollow]

Then I hope beyond hope for a beautifully​ boring daily life for us all.

[ahorseforgood]

:From your mouth to the Lady's ear, Bard Stefen.:

[abardacttofollow]

[l-laughs]

If only. Oh — sorry, I was playing with your hair...

[ahorseforgood]

:It's not required, but I wouldn't mind if you wished to finish.:

[abardacttofollow]

As long as I'm not being rude!

[ahorseforgood]

:Not at all.:

[abardacttofollow]

[goes back to it, a little shyly]
