How do you know for sure if a horse is preggo? Like, for real, legitimately got a baby horse bun in the oven, and your horse isn't just turning into a fatass or something.

... You can't take it to a vet or something?

[slugout]

Where the hell am I gonna find a vet in the middle of the woods?

[conservationist]

[Sigh]

I don't know, what are you doing in the middle of the woods?

[video]

[slugout]

Fighting monsters! And sometimes melting icicle people.

[video]

[conservationist]

O... kay. [He sounds so enthusiastic!] But surely you can take a break to get your horse checked out.

[video]

[slugout]

[ dude wouldn't you be enthusiastic if you were fighting monsters and saving lives? ITS AWESOME you should try it out sometime. ]

Yeah, we're gonna try to see if we can get her to this town in like the next month or so, when she's supposed to have the lil' nugget. Definitely not vampire town, though.

Re: [video]

[conservationist]

Huh, I see. Well, good luck with that. Don't be late, I guess.

Who's 'we'? You out there hunting with a group?

[video]

[slugout]

Nah, just me and my friend from home. We tag team for stuff -- she does healing, I handle most of the offense.

Re: [video]

[conservationist]

[Someone from apparently modern Japan that heals and fight monsters? Sounds like... via the locket Oreki checks the other comments to see if the person he's thinking of is also here... yep! As he recognizes her, he speaks without thinking.]

Oh, that magical girl-- Uh, Yukari, right?

She helped me at the station when the Jabberwock attacked.

[ unnatractive snort ]

Yukaricchi, a magical girl? Yeah, maybe if bad attitudes were a super power. Doesn't matter how short her skirt is.

[video]

[conservationist]

Oh, uh, well, I don't know her that well, so maybe I was wrong.

But I don't see a lot of, you know, beskirted magic-users with archaic weapons where I come from. And when she saved me I thought, she's totally used to this. I bet she fights a secret war by moonlight or has a furry mascot character or something, too.

[ ......... UUUUUUUUUUHHHHHHHHHHHHH ]

... She... does a lot... of LARPing back home? Like, you know. Total nerd. So it was easy for her to kinda make the jump from LARP to actual monster smashing, and then she got her spell and —

[conservationist]

Oh, got it. Well, my mistake, then. [See? Even he guesses wrong, sometimes. Nothing strange about him.]

[video]

[snipers]

[ aaaand that's when yukari's hand reaches into the frame and smacks junpei upside the head.

guess she missed the part about oreki buying it. ]

I'm not a mahou shoujo, I'm just...! [ frick, what did the brucolac say: ] A mage!

[video]

[slugout]

[ OW. ]

... Yeah, and if she's gonna moonlight as anything, it should probably be a monk.

[video]

[conservationist]

Okay, uh... I won't say that I understand the whole thing, but-- not a magical girl, fine. Just a, uh...

Monster-hunting do-gooder girl who does magic.
