[Tails can be seen sitting under a tree and next to him are several books stacked on top of each other. Looks like somepony been going the library.] Does anyp- body have any ideas about who could have vandalized that statue back at the Gala? I've been trying to do some research, but I'm not coming up with much.

[He moves one of the books with a hoof to straighten them out.]

I've also asked some of the locals around to get their opinions about us. So far I have yet to find somep- one angry about us enough that they would want to leave a threat like that. Of course, I'm kinda surprised nop-

[He smack himself with a hoof.] Darn it. Gotta stop doing that.

[He clears his throat before continuing.] Anyway I'm surprised we aren't being blamed for that. You would think us outsiders would be considered suspicious. I wouldn't exactly blame them if they did.

Also, does anyone have some good suggestions for a job? I've been looking in various places, but I would like some opinions on that.

Ponyville is known for playing home to all kinds of shenanigans, but...it hasn't been through anything like this. Not really. Even so, you're right about that; plenty have noticed by now, for better or for worse.

So this town usually attracts trouble? Somehow I can believe it.

[magicalrealist]

Yeah, it's...pretty normal. Almost startlingly normal. Hopefully, it won't be too long before you get used to it.

Considering that I'm used to dealing with weird stuff, it certainly won't take long at all.

Then I'll hope that it doesn't.

In the meantime, finding a job for you shouldn't be too difficult. What do you enjoy doing?

I like to build and fly airplanes, as well as built various machines. None of them involve trains though unfortunately. Most of my talents are kinda useless here, which is why I'm having slight trouble with finding a job.

I wouldn't say they're useless; maybe misplaced, but not useless. Everything has a use, even if it looks the exact opposite; the trick is figuring out where it's best applied.

Experience with planes and flight means you're familiar with aerodynamics, right? I bet there's plenty of pegasi who'd really appreciate a few pointers in that regard.

Re: [Visual]

[He nods.] I suppose so. I did help someone with walking once when I first arrived here, so I could help someone fly too.

[magicalrealist]

Great! I think you'd be able to help new and old pegasi with their flying, particularly the newer ones since you went through exactly what they did.

That is...assuming you're already accustomed to flying with wings, of course.

Yeah I'm used to it by now. I've had a lot of practice so it's not a problem. Being able to walk on clouds is pretty neat too.
