Accidental Activation [Visual]

[etranger]

It seems like Mako's scroll has accidentally been unrolled at some point while she was attending to her morning rituals - she seems completely unaware that her form and voice are being broadcast. Currently, she appears to be chatting happily with Hampyre as she prepares a quick breakfast for Etranger.

"-pass me the milk, will you?"

As she turns around to receive a bottle of milk from the boar, her back - free of her normal black vest - can be clearly seen. There's a pair of long, jagged scars running down it, parallel to each other and clearly the claw marks of some massive creature. She continues speaking as she trots over to a small basket in the corner of the room in which Etranger is curled up, a small meerkat perched on top of her.

"So, Hampyre, I was thinking - Etranger's three now, she's probably old enough to attend school, right? I've been planning on moving out of the commune once winter's over, but do you think we should look into getting an actual house? It might be hard to get Etranger an education if we go back to living on the riverbank..."

...maybe someone should tell her the scroll's broadcasting?

"Kinda hard to miss. You don't have to talk about it though, even though it doesn't look recent."

Ako sighed as she settled down on her side. "I'm not going anywhere though if you want to talk about it."

[etranger]

"...they're two years old. I was...incautious on a research trip."

[tsunpony]

"Ah, that kind of thing. I'm sorry about that."

[etranger]

"No worries. In the end, I'm the only one left with scars, so...it's fine, really. Nobody else had to pay for my mistake."

[tsunpony]

"Scars come in a lot of different ways. I guess physical ones are more noticeable."

[etranger]

That gets a snort of startled laughter out of Mako.

"Ha, that's true."

[tsunpony]

"Yeah. Hey, have you heard from Nozomi by the way? She's avoiding me."

[etranger]

"We had a talk after that whole thing. Once she's back on her hooves she'll probably look you up."

[tsunpony]

"Well that's reasonable. This is the longest she's ever been mad at me though."

[etranger]

"If it lasts much longer I'll give her a poke, but for now she's working through some things on her own."

[tsunpony]

"Okay, thanks. That'll help out a lot."
