[log] Walk in harmony

[orbislife]

Who: Zenyatta and others
What: Talking about ways to keep Home in harmony and talk about what's going on in a more group-like format. Related to Zenyatta's billboard post earlier
Where: Home's sitting area on the first floor
When: Backdated to Day 4, sunset
Other: Party style log. Zenyatta will have his own top if you want to interact with him specifically

By now, Zenyatta hopes that anyone who is interested in talking about the situation and how to keep Home in harmony has seen the notes he left on the bulletin board. Sunset comes, so he removes the old notes and piles them neatly on the table. (Just in case one of the people he conversed with wants to keep the note.) Zenyatta does leave his message of "Hello world. ( ´ ▽ ` )" up. He likes it there.

There are many questions and different experiences among them. A chance to talk with one another will help make their stay easier. This situation is strange, but it need not be an unpleasant one.

[So much for dissembling. With that shot to her pride, Rainbow drops her head to glare at him.] I can so do it. There's nothing I can't do.

[itsjustanaccount]

So you can do supply runs to town in case there’s an emergency or someone needs a favor?

[elementofloyalty]

Easy as can be. [She waves a hoof to play it all off as no big thing -- then pauses, bring it back to curl it up under her chin thoughtfully.] Though if you want weird human stuff I'm gonna need descriptions.

[itsjustanaccount]

And what exactly is weird human stuff to you?

[If he has to describe common vegetables, he swears…]

[elementofloyalty]

Dunno, but you guys are different, right? You're upright, you're obviously way bigger on clothes than most ponies, I dunno what you use to clean your skin when you shower, I'm guessing you don't wear boots on all four limbs, you probably don't consider saddles to be formalwear...

[Should she go on? Point is, she doesn't know what weird human stuff is yet, but no way is there NOT some.]

[itsjustanaccount]

[The lack of detail isn’t really helpful, but then again he isn’t surprised. Tsukishima goes quiet, thinking carefully, before speaking up again.]

How do ponies take care of themselves when they get injured?

[elementofloyalty]

Depends on how bad. We're... pretty short on doctors and hospitals here, though. [Which has only just now occurred to her. Resilient as she is, she figures she'll be all right if she doesn't take any major risks training, but what about the humans? What if somepony breaks a leg or a -- well, they don't have wings, but the point stands.]

There's stuff like bandages and splints and casts, but I gotta say I don't know what you guys do if you hurt your hands.

[itsjustanaccount]

[It might be hard to tell for someone unfamiliar with him, but Tsukishima’s expression eases up a bit.]

It’s the same thing for humans, just adjusted for the difference in our bodies. If you talk to the doctor, I’m sure he could show you examples of what everything looks like for humans.

[elementofloyalty]

I guess if I just asked what somepony would need if they got hurt in a certain place, whoever had the supplies would know. Only problem is if I don't know, but if it's pretty similar whatever I get is probably close enough, right?

[itsjustanaccount]

Right. It won’t be that hard once you’ve gone over things a few times. If nothing else, the people in the town seem friendly enough…

[So asking questions won’t be a problem.]

[elementofloyalty]

Guess I better be careful about getting hurt myself. [She tries to make light of the issue, though there's worry showing in the corners of her eyes.] I bet you guys would just send me to a vet.

[itsjustanaccount]

Well, it’s not like any of us know how to fix up a pony… But with the amount of- [Wait, no “talking animal” bit, that seems easier to go along with right now.] -rabbit and bird people that are around, then you can probably just visit whatever passes for a normal doctor in this place.

[elementofloyalty]

[Rainbow shivers, a gesture ripples her fur and runs down her wings and legs.] Those people are like... half-human and half the animals they look like. That's super weird.

[itsjustanaccount]

So? If you do something like injure a wing, are you honestly going to care if they’re weird?

[What is ‘tact’? We just don’t know.]

[elementofloyalty]

[The idea of hurting herself here, way far away from home, makes her shiver even more.] Come on, you're gonna jinx me. That's the last thing I need!

[itsjustanaccount]

Then don’t get hurt.

[Such a reassuring soul, Tsukishima is.]

[elementofloyalty]

Oh yeah, thanks, real big help there. [Rainbow huffs hard enough to make that orange curve of her mane flip up a bit.] I'm not TRYING to get hurt. But who knows what kinda stuff is gonna show up here?

[itsjustanaccount]

So far it seems pretty calm and peaceful, honestly.

[He’s… sort of been expecting more, he’s not going to lie. End of the world, big bad villain, zombies, something. But it’s just been this tree house and the town nearby.]

[elementofloyalty]

Sure, but that doesn't mean there isn't danger. We just don't know about it. Besides, accidents happen. I'm pretty tough, but... well, no flying practice for me for a while.

[Which really hurts, honestly.]

[itsjustanaccount]

Why not go out with someone? It doesn’t seem like anyone is going to really want to wander around alone anyway.

[He makes a faint gesture to the rest of the group gathered.]

[elementofloyalty]

'Cuz I'm still learning who's cool. Going with somepony's gonna slow me way down and keep me near the ground, too. So I gotta be sure I'm going with somepony who won't drive me crazy, you know?

[itsjustanaccount]

Really.

[For some strange reason, Tsukishima can guess where he falls on the spectrum there.]

Verdicts so far?

[elementofloyalty]

Have you met Zen? The robot guy? He's way cool.

[Yup, Rainbow has an answer, without a moment of hesitation behind it.]

[itsjustanaccount]

[Oh. Tsukishima’s expression eases up.]

We haven’t really met… But it’s hard to miss someone like that. Robots aren’t nearly that advanced where I’m from.

[elementofloyalty]

He's the one hosting this thing, right? Grab a few minutes, talk to him. Trust me. [Supremely confident in her words, Rainbow waves a hoof to dismiss anything Tsukishima can come up with to argue the point.] Well worth your time.
