psst.

this is public.

thought you ought to know.

[forkeroni]

[Excuse me, what?! Boothill was not happy to see that this person was correct, seeing now that instead of sending to Guizhong only, it sent to everyone.

Ugghh, great. Well, he can't do voice to text right now like he liked, and he sure as hell ain't showing off his spelling skills again, so he's switching to voice.]

Well, fork me. Ain't no way to change now, huh?

[melodymania]

unfortunately not.

Its stuck that way with people knowing your leg is acting up and so is your speech-to-text.

but hey. Look on the bright side.

it wasn't anything embarrassing.

[forkeroni]

Ain't my fudgin' leg that's actin' up, it's the horse's. That's why I called for Miss Guizhong. She knows a thing or two 'bout machinery and the like.

Ah, hell, I guess not.

[melodymania]

robot horse.

cool.

[forkeroni]

she sure is! when she's workin anyway

[melodymania]

maybe we could all see her when she is. i tots want to see a robot horse from another world.

[forkeroni]

she ain't from anuther world, actually. miz guizhong helped build her at the reserch center. Its the reason i called her.

back home, imma galaxy ranger so horses arent good for space. got a ship for that.

[melodymania]

technically still another world.

i know a robot horse in my own. named Steal Hooves.

so i wanna see how it's different.

Okay that sounds like a badass job. Is your ship horse shaped? You should look into a horse shaped ship.

[forkeroni]

The hell? Why would I have a horse shaped ship? Why would I want a fudgin' horse shaped ship? Sounds like a flight risk waitin' to happen.

[melodymania]

I mean it worked for the Grecians against Troy.

Never underestimate the power of something horse shaped.

[forkeroni]

The who against the what?

[melodymania]

Guess that isn't common between our worlds.

It was a war. The Trojan War. The Grecians besieged a city called Troy. Yet Troy's defenses were absolute.

So in order to get inside, the general of the Grecian armies, tricked the Trojans. He build them a giant wooden horse and presented it as a gift to their enemies as a sign of respect.

The Trojans accepted. Inside the horse were Grecian soldiers. Come nightfall, they slipped out, opened the gates, and Troy fell.

[forkeroni]

Well, I'll be the darned. The ol' switcheroo. That sounds like a cool war story.

[He'd certainly like to add it to his reading list but it depends if it's in his current level or not.

It's not]

[melodymania]

It really is. The sequel is too. The general tries to get him and his men home after the war.

And oh boy does it go crazy.

They probably got books in the library about it in Amberfall.

[forkeroni]

They jus' might. What're the titles? I'll hafta to see if it's at my reading level, first. If not, I can save it for when I improve more.

[melodymania]

The Iliad and the Odyssey. They are more advanced considering they were written a long time ago and translated from ancient Greek.

So maybe not if you have trouble reading.

But if you find them, I could turn them into moving picture books. That way you can see the story unfold without needing to read it. Then you can read it when you're ready.

All I'd ask in return is a minor favor at the time and place of my choosing.

A simple deal.

[forkeroni]

You do know how fishy that sounds for a forkin' picture book, right?
