I'll be sure to petition to ensure that you receive proper credit for your work.

Ah, that I am not sure of. I only noticed that horses had disappeared once I received the Retrospec app on my phone back in November. They had apparently been gone for some time before that, however.

[thebeastwithout]

yeah i didn't question it either until i got the app and then suddenly it was like

oh yeah

horses were a thing weren't they

i thought police riding horses stopped being a thing way long ago, though

[embearass]

It's interesting, to say the least, how one phone application could cause us to notice such things.

But no, mounted police officers are still a thing. Mainly crowd control and search and rescue duties.

[thebeastwithout]

is it like old timey westerns
do you ever get to gallop in and lasso bad guys
or have gun duels at dawn

being a policeman suddenly seems a lot cooler

[embearass]

Unfortunately there are no gun duels at dawn or lassoing,
but I have done quite a few chases on horseback of criminals.

[thebeastwithout]

what this sounds like to me is that you totally have the opportunity to be lassoing crooks but you're not making good use of it

gotta learn to lasso, man!! i bet they have courses somewhere

[embearass]

I'm sure they do. Then, perhaps I will spend some time learning to lasso a crook.

[thebeastwithout]

yeah!!! do it!

...so, uh, when or where did you want to... do this thing that we're talking about now?

[he's not entirely sure what this horse riding lesson will entail]

[embearass]

Well, what days are you free? My shifts for work typically end early enough that I do not mind staying at the stables later than usual. You could just meet me at the stable and I can teach you to ride horses there.

[thebeastwithout]

it's winter, school just started, and there's a dome blocking out the sun so

i'm pretty much free all day every day

oh wait uh i mean

after school hours!! haha yeah i would never think of skipping class, psh, definitely not

yeah

[embearass]

I am glad to hear that, I would hate to bring you in on a truancy charge. It'll certainly make the lessons awkward.

But, after school hours work well for me.

[thebeastwithout]

wait what
is that a thing
you can get arrested for skipping school
why is that a thing
what if i have a doctors note

[if fred were privy to gar's internal dialogue right now he might not be terribly amused by the thoughts running through his head]

i mean uhm

yeah! let's... do the horse riding thing and move on

[embearass]

Well, naturally if you have permission from your guardian to not be at school for the day, then you would not be in any trouble. But just skipping school on your own because you feel like it? Then that is when the issues arise.

[ are you a bad kid, gar? does fred need to pull out his cop voice? ]

Of course, feel free to come by the stables any day after school. I will be there.

[thebeastwithout]

[but what if school sucks and is the worst =(]

uh yeah!
ok so, like... tomorrow?

are you sure you don't have to work

[embearass]

My shift ends before school lets out, so it should not present a problem.

[thebeastwithout]

ok cool
i'll see you then!!!

if the horses go ok can you show me how to ride chocobos too
