high school martial artist yells at cloud

[momentaryspring]

You all acted like I was delusional for taking a picture of a creepy man in black, but WHAT HAVE YOU TO SAY NOW?

Does the disappearance of an entire species from the public consciousness strike you as a bit odd? And I just spent a good thirty minutes stuck inside the most suspicious headquarters building imaginable!

I'm not saying I told you so, but I told you so.

Whatever are you going on about? The new birds they imported in? I wouldn't say it's all that odd, but I also don't know anything about creatures from Africa, so I suspect most of us don't know what these birds were.

[Someone hadn't put two and two together about horses being gone yet.]

[browbeater]

trust me

finding out people don't remember horses at all is more than a bit odd

[momentaryspring]

THAT IS MY ENTIRE POINT

[momentaryspring]

IT USED TO BE A HORSE

[browbeater]

you also just admitted to trespassing on private property on social media

so i think now is not the time for caps

[momentaryspring]

DON'T TELL ME WHAT TIME TO USE AND NOT USE CAPS

[browbeater]

you should find some chill, pal.

anyway, i don't know how to explain the horse thing. i'd think i was crazy if you and a few other people hadn't brought it up.

Chloe Bouchard What a silly suggestion.
Chloe Bouchard How could a horse become an overgrown chicken that people ride on?
Chloe Bouchard Why say such silly things?
Chloe Bouchard A horse is a horse and these silly chocobos are chocobos, yes?

(OOC: I will remember to use this format one of these days. Heh.)

[momentaryspring]

Exactly, it's impossible! Yet they're trotting out some overgrown chicken like it's a prized stallion! 'Look, it's Seabiscuit!'

What is this, some grand April Fool's joke? It's not even April 1!

This all started when that stupid program downloaded itself onto my phone!

[not that Ryoga had any proof of that whatsoever. he was just looking for someone to blame]

[momentaryspring]

Exactly! Practically everyone's acting like this is normal. It's not normal!

[true_noir]

Chloe Bouchard Wait a moment.
Chloe Bouchard Is the mayor's horse not called seabiscuit?
Chloe Bouchard It would be a very elaborate joke if that were the case.
Chloe Bouchard I simply thought they were something exotic from Arica or South America perhaps.

[browbeater]

i know.

it's really hard to explain the concept of a horse if no one knows what it is, suddenly.

[momentaryspring]

[what was even going on in this conversation]

So you agree that the mayor had a horse

[momentaryspring]

Well then what the blazes is going on? Is this some kind of elaborate mass hazing? Are we having some kind of mental break?!

[browbeater]

yes because that's the next logical conclusion.

[true_noir]

[She was just taking a moment, patience there Ryoga. She'd get there.]

Chloe Bouchard Yes, I saw pictures of the horse once or twice.
Chloe Bouchard Are you saying that the mayor is saying that this bird was a horse?
Chloe Bouchard This makes absolutely no sense.
Chloe Bouchard Those aren't horses.

[momentaryspring]

I don't know if you've noticed

BUT NOTHING ABOUT THIS IS LOGICAL

[browbeater]

sir

please calm down

[momentaryspring]

I'll calm down when I feel like it, beetlebrows

[browbeater]

[SIGH. this is why we can't have nice things.]

look, whether this is logical or not, freaking out isn't going to help anyone. and while i, personally, don't subscribe to the psychotic break theory, there are random people who don't have this app that might

and then they would call someone like me to take you to the nearest psych ward for your own safety, and none of us want that

especially not on a friday night

[momentaryspring]

I'm saying that when he went up there everyone acted like it was Seabiscuit but it wasn't. It was a bird, a big bird

And now whenever I ask anyone about it they act like I'm crazy and Seabiscuit was always a bird

No one remembers he was a horse

No one remembers horses

[true_noir]

Chloe Bouchard Not nobody
Chloe Bouchard I most certainly do remember horses.
Chloe Bouchard This is not another of your stories, is it?
Chloe Bouchard No, I do not think it could be, but what does it mean?

[notyourutopian]

So now you're saying the slenderman thing replaced the horses with birds?

[She is mostly just doing this to bother him at this point.]

[momentaryspring]

don't play dumb

[momentaryspring]

Ridiculous. If the police scoured the internet for every individual with an axe to grind, the wards would be full thrice over!

[They were probably more worried about like

terrorism]

If you're really interested in helping, what's your theory?
