Anything...something small...it didn't matter what it was. Going through and coming back is one thing, going through and bringing something back from there would have been another.

That flash drive, was it native to that place?

[kuukai]

Yeah, it was. [ Is. ] An' a lot of ponies askin' about it. Not withou' good reason, but... 'm bein' careful.

That was it? Ya just wanted... what, an artifact? Proof?

[theytookmypants]

I wanted baby steps. Proof, anything...I dunno, hope even. Faith and friends are all we got here, feels like. Bank on something see where it leads.

[He sighs through his nose.]

Did you find someone with a computer yet?

[kuukai]

[ Nods. ] Found a coupla leads. Haven't hooked it up yet.

[ Hesitates, but: ] You're more right than you know. If there's any kinda rules governin' this world, I think yer pretty close.

[theytookmypants]

Good. I was going to suggest looking up the Donnie's if you hadn't...pretty sure they know how to build one from scrap.

[He pauses thoughtfully and looks down...then looks up with a smile at her.]

No...I know. Pinkie Pie, the human one, all but confirmed it for me. The problem is getting everyone else to go along with it...I think it might be our strongest ace in the hole right now. Actually I think it's stronger than that...depends on how strong you believe a bond is.

[kuukai]

Look, there's a coupla ponies here who don't believe in that stuff, an' yeah, that's a problem, but...

[ Shrug. ] First week I got here, I stole some food. Everyone's response was ta set me up with a place ta stay and a job ta pay for it. 's not a matter of convincing people. Most of the ponies here are already convinced.

[theytookmypants]

[He shrugs in kind.]

Fair point. Maybe I'm underestimating how many people are already convinced...I'm thinking too narrow, need to broaden the scope...

Speaking of weeks...thanks, by the way, for meeting with me. I should probably let you get back to recuperating a bit before the next pony comes along for you.

[kuukai]

[ Kyouko nods. ] I guess I'm the main messenger for the trip, along with Minako, so... s'fine.

[ She sticks out a hoof. (The one that's been reconstructed more completely.) ] Kyouko.

[theytookmypants]

Also fair...but even you deserve a bit of rest.

[He offers his own hoof in kind, being careful about shaking hers.]

Crmsn...like the color, sans the vowels. Rest up and let those healing magics work, ya?

[kuukai]

Not sure I do. [ She shakes gingerly and then releases. ] Will do. ... See ya around, I guess.

[theytookmypants]

Sure, and if need the help of an expert programmer to help with that, just buzz me and give me a location, I'll be there in two shakes.

[He inclines his head a little and starts heading towards Ponyville. He was going to sleep off the month like one would a bad hang over...after work maybe. He still had guard duty at the Night Market to take care of.]
