Hanging With the Adventurer

4 November 2014

05:31 Shooting_Star leans on Zuthal's shoulder.

05:32 Zuthal wraps his hooves around Shooting_Star, wriggling his tail around a bit in Lyjzet's jaws

05:32 Lyjzet lets go fo the tail and climbs ontop of Zuthal to stare down at Shooting_Star and prod her with a tongue.

05:34 Shooting_Star lets the younger tatzlpony hug her, though normally she avoided those things. She liked him, though. He was different. The same couldn't be said for his friend Lyjzet, though, and the old mare shoots him a glare when he pokes her with one of his coils.

05:35 Zuthal baps Lyjzet with one of his own coils, wriggling underneath the smaller tatzlpony. "Hey, you know she doesn't like that!" he says, before gently nuzzling against the older mare. "Lyjzet's just being silly..."

05:36 < Lyjzet> we should actually do that scene~

05:36 < Shooting_Star> (he says, in tatzl-speak, I assume)

05:36 < Lyjzet> (except that I'm going to bed soon...)

05:36 < Zuthal> (Yeah, that first one was in tatzl)

05:37 < Lyjzet> (I have an interview tomorrow. Though its with a recruiter.)

05:37 < Shooting_Star> (you should get sleep for that)

05:37 < Lyjzet> (Ya I'll be sleeping soon)

05:39 Lyjzet snickers at the glare and runs the tendril down to her horn despite the smack from Zuthal, responding, {I'm just having a bit of fun. I wont do her any harm.}

05:42 < Lyjzet> (THough Shooting_Star can probably understand tatzlspeak)

05:42 < Zuthal> (She probably can, though it is questionable if Lyjzet understands pony)

05:42 Shooting_Star relaxes a little, leaning against Zuthal. Despite their age difference, the tatzlpony was much larger than her, and she only came up to his chest. "Well, if he doesn't knock if off, he's going to get--" she starts before she feels the rubbery tip poke her horn. The unicorn clenches her teeth and grunts, the spiraled bone on top of her head flaring with light. Magic surges up Lyjzet's coil, leaving it numb and limp.

05:42 < Lyjzet> (Ya, I doubt Lyjzet knows much pony)

05:43 < Shooting_Star> (I need a color scheme for her)

05:46 Zuthal chuckles as he sees Lyjzet run his coil over her horn, and then get zapped by the strange energies surging through it. He still was fascinated by her magic, by what she could do with it, and it is obvious in how he looks at her glowing horn. {Serves you right, Lyjzet,} he says, before sighing a little at Shooting_Star. "He... always wants to... do bad things, make... trouble? Things like this," he says, still not really certain about the workings or the pronounciation of the Equestrian language.

05:47 < Zuthal> (deliberately typing bad English is much harder than it sounds)

05:49 Lyjzet yelps as the magic surges up into him, pulling away from the mare startled. He slips off of Zuthal's back and tumbles onto the ground, landing on his back with a thud. {Ow! I cant believe she just did that . THat was really mean!" he growls out, trying to glare at her through the gap underneath his friend.

05:52 Shooting_Star hmphs and crosses her forelegs. "If he makes trouble, he's not welcome here." The mare's ears twist to listen to Lyjzet, and she barks back a rough approximation of {Your fault.}

05:55 Zuthal shakes his head at Shooting_Star, having not meant that. "No, he is not bad tatzl, he is just... what word, for want to cause little trouble lot of the time?" he asks, slowly moving between his friend and the unicorn.

05:55 < Shooting_Star> (he's already between them, Lyjzet is behind Zuthal )

05:56 < Zuthal> (It is 0656 here and I am breakfasting :V)

05:56 < Shooting_Star> (theoretically I should be able to make good production errors with a language, but..)

05:56 < Shooting_Star> (er, not production errors. just mistakes, whatever)

05:57 < Zuthal> (If it is not clear, I am trying to get across that he is mischievous)

05:57 < Shooting_Star> (heehee)

05:57 < Shooting_Star> (was going to use that word anyway)

05:58 Lyjzet lowers the numb tendril towards his hooves and begins to rub over it trying to bring sensation to the rubbery coil. When it finally comes back to him just a little he stands to his feet. {It was not my fault...you didnt even let me get a proper taste of you...something that's a customary greeting around here...which you've been for years.}

05:59 < Lyjzet> (I got mischevious Zuthal~)

06:00 < Zuthal> (Good. Means I am doing something right)

06:01 Shooting_Star looks up at Zuthal. "If you were feeling charitable, you'd say... he is mischievous. But that's far too generous for that colt." She doesn't dignify Lyjzet with anything more than a {No.}

06:02 < Lyjzet> (I wonder if this is before or after his attempt to to eat her :P)

06:03 Zuthal gently nuzzles against her, shaking his head. "No, he is good. Most of times. Is not so bad, like with you, with others of us," he says, before turning his head back towards Lyjzet. {You know she doesn't like that. Others can have different customs than we do. And you should respect that.}

06:07 Lyjzet moves around to a position where he can stare at the curiosity. He always felt a little bit intrigued by this creature he never got to actually explore. Sitting down on his flank he crosses his hooves into a pout. {I still cant believe you bothered to learn her strange tongue. Shes the /only/ one who even really speaks it here.}

06:09 Shooting_Star shakes her head. "I don't know what you see in him." She leans back against Zuthal and glares at Lyjzet, noticing how he was looking at her. {You know I hear you,} she says in somewhat halting tatzl.

06:11 Zuthal gently rubs a hoof through Lyjzet's mane, right behind his right ear. "I... he is nice, and a friend, a close friend," he says, unable to really explain what he saw in the other tatzlpony to her. {And Lyzjet, what is wrong with learning new things when you get the opportunity?}

06:16 Lyjzet raises a hoof up and pushes Zuthal's leg away, and then rolls his eyes at Shooting_Star. {If I cared I wouldnt be saying it.} He then turns his head to look at the stallion beside him, {Oh sure, and thats why you were so enthused to try and learn to brew desert cactus several months ago when I tried to teach you.}

06:19 Shooting_Star hmphs and stands up, shaking herself off. The mare walks over to one of the chests in her home, rummaging through it.

06:19 < Shooting_Star> (she has some sort of idle hobby, like knitting, or wood carving, that she's taken up)

06:21 Zuthal sighs and looks at Lyjzet, shaking his head. {You know I'm not really interested in brewing. Or what comes out of it. And come on, when else will I get the opportunity to learn a completely new language?}

06:24 Lyjzet gets up from his spot and follows closely behind Shooting_Star but not actually touching her. {Oh, I just remembered, I brought you a gift.} The tatzl looks up and sticks one of his coils into his gut, pulling out a glass bottle of a milky white looking liquid and holding it in his tendril. The bottle was covered in gunk, dripping down to leave drops of slime on Shooting_Star's floor as he holds it out to her.

06:25 < Shooting_Star> (she might not be disgusted by that)

06:25 < Zuthal> (yeah, she may have been shortly after she came there, but by now, she would probably have adapted)

06:25 < Lyjzet> (Maybe not. She's lived there long enough.)

06:26 < Zuthal> (Also, that white liquid is probably not milk=

06:26 < Shooting_Star> (I mean, the things that bother her might be contact with her, not the concept itself)

06:27 < Lyjzet> (True. and its fermented cactus juice)

06:27 < Zuthal> (Was assuming, though from the description, could have been worse :V)

06:28 < Shooting_Star> (What color is her magic :I )

06:28 < Shooting_Star> (orange? ish? yellow-orange?)

06:28 < Zuthal> (Wynaut?)

06:28 < Shooting_Star> (wobbuffet)

06:29 Shooting_Star turns as she hears Lyjzet talking to her, unfazed as he reaches into his gullet to pull out the bottle. She raises an eyebrow, and a yellow glow limns the bottle, pulling it out of Lyjzet's grasp. {What is this?}

06:31 Zuthal raises a brow as Lyjzet pulls out the bottle, eyeing the milky white liquid inside. {Lyzjet, I hope this is what I think it is and not what I fear it is,} he says, before turning to face Shooting_Star. "I think it is... cactus juice. That makes you do silly things."

06:31 < Shooting_Star> (the difference would be obvious from the smell :P )

06:32 < Zuthal> (She hasn't opened it yet)

06:32 < Shooting_Star> (yes, but like, in general)

06:34 Lyjzet smiles at the mare and is just about to answer when he hear's Zuthal's suggestion. {Oh! That's awful Zuthal. I may want to have a little fun with Shooting_Star, but I'd never do anything like that.} He then turns back to her and gestures to the bottle, {Its my cactus juice recipe. I've been working pretty hard on it and I think I got this one just right.}

06:37 Shooting_Star snorts and mumbles "foals" to herself. {Thank you, Lyjzet,} the mare says, a begrudging look of approval on her face. She sets down the bottle next to her chest, letting it drip its slime onto the floor. "Sorry if I don't try it right away."

06:37 < Shooting_Star> (I dunno, what should her hobby be)

06:41 Zuthal chuckles slightly and shakes his head at Lyjzet. {I'm not so sure... and if your fun entails what I think it does, I don't think she'll appreciate it,} he says, before looking at Shooting_Star. "What is in there? You never have showed me."

06:44 < Shooting_Star> (y'all are unhelpful with her hobby :I )

06:45 < Zuthal> (HMmm... some form of carving thing, maybe.)

06:45 Lyjzet frowns and his tenacles droop as Shooting_Star sets the bottle down on the ground, but he's not terribly discouraged. Instead he just leaves the room, searching for the mare's kitchet to bring out a set of glasses. On his way he keeps an eye out for any of the sweets that the mare was known for occasionally baking.

06:46 < Zuthal> (or that :V)

06:46 < Lyjzet> {You're welcome Shooting_Star, and Zuthal you should have more faith in me.)

06:46 < Zuthal> (Have more faith?)

06:47 < Lyjzet> (I forgot to speak...)

06:47 < Lyjzet> (its in curly cues)

06:47 < Lyjzet> (Baking probably isnt a full time hobby around there though, unless there's some good supply of sugar.)

06:47 < Shooting_Star> (baking? :P I was more curious about what supplies there would be for knitting)

06:47 < Shooting_Star> (or basket weaving)

06:48 < Shooting_Star> (requirement: she has to be able to do it while sitting on the porch-equivalent of where she lives)

06:49 < Zuthal> (Hmm... maybe, like, woodcarving? That she could do there too)

06:49 < Lyjzet> (I'm sure nitting is doable...there are desert plants like brittlebrush that can have fibers made of them)

06:50 < Lyjzet> (woodcarving? that would have to be brought in I think :P)

06:52 < Shooting_Star> would it?

06:52 < Lyjzet> (I mean...how arid of an enviroment are we talking? )

06:52 < Shooting_Star> ( Zuthal ?)

06:52 < Zuthal> (Well, there are woody plants that occur in arid environments)

06:53 < Zuthal> (More like savanna-type than desert-type)

06:53 < Lyjzet> (Ok, so hot grassland, gotcha)

06:53 < Zuthal> (Hot grassland, probably quite some thorny shrubbery as well, a few trees here and there)

06:54 < Lyjzet> (Works for me~)

06:54 < Zuthal> (Though it of course also depends on exactly where you are)

06:54 < Shooting_Star> (she dosen't have much to do. maybe both)

06:54 < Zuthal> (Buuuut I have to go now)

06:54 < Zuthal> (See y'all in about... eight hours)
