It appears as though both horses and chocobos exist now. Would you happen to still be interested in horseback riding lessons?

From:

thebeastwithout

yES

i mean

yes

i mean

wait you're the guy i was talking to earlier this month right
i'm just gonna say i take full credit for chocobos still being here it was the power of the save the chocobos foundation that convinced recolle to keep them it's a good thing i started that petition

ok that said

yes, please, i didn't think you were serious

From:

embearass

I would not have made the offer if I wasn't serious about it.

But, I must say that I am glad that the chocobos got to stay. As much as I prefer horses, I've come to like them as well.

From:

thebeastwithout

yeah
i guess it's cool that they're both together now
i expect to be down in the history books for saving chocobos though!!

how long had horses been gone, anyway?

From:

embearass

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.

From:

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

From:

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.

From:

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

From:

embearass

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

From:

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

From:

embearass

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

From:

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]

From:

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.

From:

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

From:

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.

From:

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

From:

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.

From:

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

How would you like to help us help you out? Your observation period's up and I want you on this particular assignment. You'll be fine, you're probably not going to die, and we'll be able to monitor you from here. We need help. You've got the skills needed even if you don't know it yet. I know it and that's what counts. You'll be working with a group (wish I could give you the names, still putting the lists together), but your assignment partner is Mimori Togo. Should you choose to accept this assignment, you will need to meet at the edge of the woods and we'll go from there. You'll be rewarded for your success, of course, but this is only if we have an agreement. Do we have an agreement?

[No other messages will be sent from this account at this time.]
