@@Rainbow Eclipse, "Yes, indeed." Herald got up and began filling out the paperwork. Directing his voice to Mr. Cake, Herald questioned, "Is she always like this? Or is this just because I am new?" Herald continued filling out the paperwork, then handed it to Mr. Cake. Looking back at Pinkie Pie, Herald realized he might have answered his own question.

Herald, completely shocked by Pinkie Pie's sudden outburst, said, "Um, my name is Herald. I'm from, well never mind. Who are you?" Then, remembering the clipboard, tried getting up, but Pinkie wouldn't allow it until satisfied. Noticing, Herald stated in a well mannered tone, "Um, sorry, but I need to get that clipboard. I would like to work here."

Herald, being discharged from the hospital, began his trip to Sugarcube Corner, passing shops and houses very different from what he was used to. Keeping a watchful eye for trouble, Herald kept his distance from everypony. Arriving at the door, Herald walked into the shop, saying out loud: "Hello? I'm here for a job, is it still available?" Herald went to the counter, smelling something sweet, and again feeling hunger despite the meal an hour earlier.

@@Rainbow Eclipse, "Thank you, ma'am." Herald said as the nurse walked out. "I guess it is safe to assume Riley and Anala brought me here." Herald spaced out for a while, waiting to be discharged. "Once I get out, I'm going to Sugarcube Corner to apply for a job." Herald began eating, realizing for the first time in a while how long it had been since he had eaten a proper meal.

@@Rainbow Eclipse, "Pinkie Pie? Whoever that is, why would she be excited to see me? I'm not known around here, not yet at least. Anyway, thank you. I'll look into it. Five bits an hour? Works for me." Herald looked at the pad, then used magic to pick it and a pen up and began writing. "One more thing, nurse. When will I be discharged?" Herald spoke quietly, deep in thought. "I have something I need to do today."

@@Rainbow Eclipse, "I would like some water, if you could. Also, if you didn't mind, I would really like to know where I can earn some money. I believe I will be here a while, as I have nowhere else to go." Herald thought a bit more. "And some paper would be nice, if that isn't too much of a bother. Thank you." Herald looked over the note several times more, wondering if that was supposed to be normal or if, like Anala said, it was just in a burst. He felt like he himself was a bit overbearing, not Anala. "Obviously I have some adjusting to do. I think I will go and see them later. Nopony should be put under the strain of thinking I wouldn't associate with them. Rejection is harsh." Herald had made up his mind.

Herald woke up with a start, still hungry but fully alert. "I need to get used to things around here. I'm not in danger here, and I ruined a chance for a great friendship." Herald's thoughts kept like this since he passed out. "Nurse! I need a nurse!" Herald looked around, wondering if any of it was real to begin with. Coming to the conclusion that it was due to his face still hurting, he made a mental note to find Anala and Riley and apologize for how he came off.

@Rainbow Eclipse Herald, rubbing his face, decided to explain. "I do apologize. I forget that I am not in my home town. You see, where I come from, thieves are the least of your worries. I suppose I did not expect it to happen here. In my home town, many of the ponies look very similar to each other, so when you report an incident you can't just report the face, you must also describe what you call a 'cutie mark.'" Herald by this point was starting to sway, the hunger and travel catching up. His vision was very blurred, and things were moving in a haze as if he were drunk. Continuing, Herald said, "I was not being a pervert, I was just following habit. I didn't say anyone specifically stole it, I said I would turn everyone in for suspected thievery. This is done in my home town as well, because the one who did it can easily escape if you report the wrong pony, so it is required to report who was around you, be they innocent or not. I'm sorry to offend you." Herald fell, his hooves giving out under him. The world was spinning, and a small wound on the left flank had reopened, causing a trickle of blood. "I guess it doesn't really matter though, this place is much different." From there, Herald lost conscience.

@lonewolf1735 Herald, at this point sick of waiting and deciding to leave, going to check the time, and realizing the watch was gone. "Hey! First off, who are you?" Looking straight at Re-boot. @Everypony "Second, who took my watch? Third, why is everypony suddenly gathered around me when I suddenly show up in town? I get here and a cooler is nearly dropped on me. After that, everypony is everywhere when all I want is sleep and some food! Now, I will let this all slide if my watch is returned, at which point I will go and get a room for the night. Otherwise, I am going to the town authorities and turning EVERY one of you in for suspected thievery." After thinking a moment, looking at everypony around him, Herald continued, "And now I have an accurate description of all of your faces and flanks, so do not put it past me." At this point, Herald was turning to leave.

@Sage of Six Mirrors Herald, agitated from lack of food, went to the pony Riley was talking to. "Is there a problem here? If not, then can we quietly get on with our day? No offence to anypony, but I've been traveling for a while." @Rainbow Eclipse "Riley, is something wrong? Something feels, ... , off here." Herald sat, somewhat lethargic, and unaware of his surroundings and what was going on.

@Rainbow Eclipse "I'll keep that in mind." Herald said, sitting and overly eager to eat. "But what does a magnifying glass have to do with it? I'm new around here, you know." @Sage of Six Mirrors Looking curiously at the new arrival, something feeling off. Taking it as hunger pains instead of instinct, Herald shook off the feeling and said: "Nice to meet you." All while watching another leave after a pony with a watch.

@Sage of Six Mirrors Stuttering for a moment, unsure of the sudden crowd of ponies building up around him, Herald replies, "Quite well, thank you. My name is Herald. Yours? Also, where is everypony coming from all of a sudden?" Somewhat agitated with the flux of ponies. Leaning closer to the food cooler, smelling something good, Herald sits once more.

@Scotti3 "Yes, I'm fine thank you. The cooler missed me. My name is Herald. And your's is?" Herald, again lowering his head. @Rainbow Eclipse "Thank you for the information. I will be heading there tonight. Luxuries are not important to me. Nice to meet you too. If you ever need me, just look around. I am not hard to find." Herald sits, waiting to eat. @Sage of Six Mirrors *Pulling from the dark cloak a long silver chain, attached to one end with a golden watch to check the time. Clearly once the possession of a dragon who had long ago left the land.*

@Rainbow Eclipse "I apologize, I have been rude. My name is Herald Minopini, a name granted to me because I've suffered memory loss after an incident. I do not know the origin. What is your name?" Herald sat while speaking, weary from travel. "Also, do you know where I can get a room? I do not have a lot of money." Looking respectfully at the two with prevalent eye contact on his end, Herald spoke a little quieter than before.

@Rainbow Eclipse "Yes, that would be nice." Herald withdrew his snout from the cooler, sitting and pulling the hood back. "Do I really look that hungry? Is it obvious I've been traveling?" Herald's stomach let out a long, drawn out sound of hollow displeasure. "Where did it come from anyway? It almost hit me." Herald lowered his head, a standard greeting for his kind.
