Honey Jars was thirsty. Honey Jars was very thirsty. There was water in front her, and Comet was telling her not to drink it! Honey Jars dipped her muzzle into the water and began to take long, greedy gulps. the water tasted disgusting, but Honey Jars didn't care. She just needed to drink!

Honey Jars lifted her head up after about half a minute of drinking, wiped the water off her face and sighed with content. She would probably get ill, but it was worth it.

 Mirror turned her head in the direction of Mythos' voice. "Good morning, Mythos. It's a family heirloom. It was my mother's mask, she used it during her performances. Unfortunately, it's still damp." Mirror looked down at the mask and sighed, worried over the masks condition. "I was about to walk the beach, I'm hoping that I can find a rock I can let this dry out on."

Comet watched as the mare gulped down the dirty water for a good thirty seconds with his mouth half open.

"Maybe... Maybe you didn't hear me correctly... This water is DIRTY and full of GERMS and PARASITES. Dirty baaaad. Clean goooood. You know, like not drinking bad water that can make you ill for a half minute?"

Comet looked down at the water, which was brown with mud and sand.

"And you thought changelings were weird..."

Finally, Honey Jars had been able to get a drink. Sure it was contaminated, and yeah she was going to get sick, that was unavoidable; but the sediment had sunk to the bottom of the river, so she wasn't drinking dirt.

But then Comet began to talk, and he didn't have anything good to say. It sounded like he was insulting Honey Jars, like he was undermining her. But then again, Honey Jars didn't get ponies very well.

"I-I just wanted some water..." Thanks to the wonders of a drink, Honey Jars's voice wasn't as dry, and it sounded upset. Insulted.

"I-I-I'll leave if you want... If-if I'm too stupid th-then I can go..."

[Comet Starflash 46]

@,

"No, that's not what I... I didn't mean to... I was just pointing out that..."

Comet tried to explain that he didn't mean to insult her, if he had. No, he was certain that he had.

He placed the pot on his head, which was big enough to cover it entirely, and sat down.

"All I ever do is annoy, anger, upset, insult or hurt everypony I meet... And sometimes it's even all of the above..." He whispered inside the confines of the bucket.

What... What was he doing now? Comet had put the bucket over his head and was whispering... Things. Honey Jars could make out the words anger, upset, and insult, followed by "all of the above". Honey Jars had no idea what most of this meant, but it was probably about her.

"I-I'll go now... back to the place... An-and not bother you..." Honey Jars continued to mumble as she turned around ane began to head back to the clearing.

@,

Comet struck the pot, which made a strong metallic, but short, gong sound. He lifted up the bucket only to see that she was walking away. He grit his teeth as the threw the bucket in anger, which flew quite close to Honey Jars' head. It bounced off of a boulder, making another large metallic noise, but was quickly muffled as it hit the soft dirt. He cried out in anger as his good, and evil, consciences fought for control. This was insulting to him, she should pay for that! No, she was a pony who knew nothing about changelings! But she constantly thinks you are evil, proove it to her! But that would leave the changeling race discriminated even more! Who cares about our race, just care about yourself!

His mind fought on, with the evil inside clearly winning. He picked up the nearest large rock and started to follow her from behind.

Honey Jars felt stupid. Honey Jars always felt stupid. So far she had met 3 ponies and a griffon, and she had ended up offending two of them! She was walking away from Comet, head drooping, when suddenly the bucket flew past her head! it clanged off a boulder nearby, and then fell to the ground. What was Comet doing? Was he trying to hit her? At this point, Honey Jars kind of felt like she deserved it. She turned her head with a look of concern, which quickly turned to shock. He had a rock! A very big rock! And by the looks of it, he intended to hit her with it!

Honey Jars stood there, still as a statue. She was going to die!

"You offend me. You insult me. You disgust me. And now, you will no longer affect me."

'Comet! Comet this isn't you! Comet stop, you can't kill, she's innocent! ITOVIR! STOP!' His mind fought on.

Comet dropped the rock, grabbing his head and screaming "That's not my name!"

Honey Jars was so confused!

What once seemed like the end for Honey Jars had become something of the reverse. Comet just dropped the rock, right there and then, and went onto tomething about his name. She Hony Jars help? She didn't want anypony ti get hurt... But if she went to help he could take it the wrong way, and hit her. Honey Jars took the risk, at lease she had time if he picked up the boulder.

"A-are you alright C-Comet? Y-You're acting scary..."

"So you're about to head to the beach," the stallion asked as his smile grew as he asked, "perhaps I can join you?"

 

Walking to her side and taking a closer look at the mask he consider it for a moment before saying softly, "interesting, very interesting. This is a most interesting mask indeed."

"You!" Comet stopped the fighting within himself, as what he was about to say agreed with both his consciences. "When will you learn!? I do not say everything with the intention of insulting you! I do not do everything with the intention of hurting you! I... I AM NOT EVIL! So stop making me out to be!"

@@Comet Starflash,

Honey Jars jumped backed in surprise. She wasn't hoping to make him angry; she was just pointing out the obvious. COmet was very wierd, very... She wanted to apologize, but everytime she said something ponies got upset. Maybe she should shut up...

Honey Jars stood straight, and kept her mouth shut. Things were better that way.

[Comet Starflash 46]

@,

What was this? She had stopped doing anything, stopped saying anything. The mere fact that she was not replying to him in any way enraged him more. He just curled up in a small ball, trying to hold in all the cuss words that came to mind, just saying "FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF..." Before just approaching a tree and headbutting it continuously until he started to slow down, and fall dizzy. He had beaten himself senseless. only a day on the island and he had already been beaten up, lost his mind and nearly died.

Honey Jars had less of an idea now as she did when she woke up the day before. She had tried talking. That didn't work. She had tried keeping quiet and that didn't work either! Was it really this hard to talk to ponies? Did she have this much trouble back in school? I mean she did make friends... Well only one or two, but she still made friends! Maybe she should give this talk thing another try...

"Umm, excuse me? M-mister Comet? I think... I think we should go back now. Because uhh, you seem hurt..."

"Can I tell you a secret? I'm extremely insecure... Being away from home, where my friends are, I'm scared... I'm putting on this scary facade as a defence mechanism I suppose... This isn't me, and I'm sorry that you had to see me this way. I am not mentally strong enough to stop myself from doing this, so I ask that you tie me up and to a tree when we get back, for now just use that vine on the floor. Please, just for yourself and everypony else's safety, and probably my own." Comet says holding out his hooves.

He whispers "Be gone evil within, qe gethrisja malsvir irsa..."

wait... Now he wanted Honey Jars to restrain him? Why would she do that? That didn't seem like a nice thing to do!

"B-but if I do that then you wouldn't be able to trot back to the fire, an I c-couldn't help you because I'm not very stong..." Tying the pony up seemed like a crule thing to do anyway. How coukd he just hold out his hooves and expect her to tie them together?

[Comet Starflash 46]

@,

"Just tie me up with some slack in between my hooves. Not too much slack though, just enough so I can walk slowly and with difficulty. It's the only way I can be sure that I can't hurt you or worse. It's just obvious that with the lack of close friendship anywhere on the island I will just continue to lose my mind further until there is nothing left of me to stop myself." He shakes his hooves as a come on gesture.

Close friendship... Was that important to Comet? Apparently it was, and that was probabaly why Honyley Jars made him angry so easily. But she still refused to tie him up. That was just wrong.

"B-but if you made a friend, th-then you would be OK?" The way Honey Jars saw it, she coukd take him back to the clearing and get the water herself. And he would've made a friend! And then he woukd be happy and then they could be friends! Honey Jars could make a friend!

"A friend would give me a sense of security, so as far as my knowledge of myself can tell me that is the logical problem solver. Even still though, the others either seem interested in something else, have found something else to occupy themselves with or want nothing to do with me. I tried to kill you, so I understand completely why you wouldn't." Comet began to tie his own hooves up, biting the vine and wrapping it around his front legs.

Great, she was right! Now she just had to get him back to the clearing without him looking odd, and then she could make friends! There was however, the fact that Comet was trying to tie his hooves together. Nopony woulf want to be friends with a pony that tied their own hooves together...

Honey Jars grabbed the vines and pulled them off Comet. He was probably upset about that.

"I... I don't think you should do that, because, uhh... I-I don't think ponies should be tied up, and that counts as being tied up. So, I don't think you should..."

"Well... Ok, but I can't be held responsible, if something bad were to happen." It was difficult to tell what he was looking at, as changelings had no distinctive pupils, but it didn't matter, because he was staring at no place in particular. He acted... Like a child really. He was almost 20, but he had the security, and mental thread, of a young colt. This thread was thin, and easily broken, removing all sense of safety for him; so he reacts with brashness if he feels threatened or scared. He was actually pretty smart, despite the lack of teaching back at Sap's school of draining for changelings. It was more common knowledge and past experience that taught him the most.

Honey Jars felt a bit better now that Comet had agreed not to tie himself up, even if she did feel as if she was in a tad more danger. Comet kind of scared her, and being scared was never a good thing, even of it was what she mainly felt. That probably wasn't something to admit, being scared of ponies. She nooded slighty as confirmation, and then she had nothing to talk about. She looked around, they still needed to get water. That coukd wait.

"Um, I think we should go back... To th-the clearing... W-we coukd always get water later..."

[Comet Starflash 46]

@,

Comet couldn't figure out why she always stuttered. Maybe it wad just another mystery of the island. Or maybe it was just fear of him, which was understandable, given that he had just tried to kill her.

"I guess so, the others will Just have to get water themselves. It's probably not far from camp. I just hope that there aren't any hostile inhabitants or, any more, hostile factors of the environment."

Honey Jars nodded yet again. It would probably bee a good idea to take the pot back, but it wasn't too hard to find. Though the idea of hostile things worried her, Honey Jars decided to avoid making it obvious, in case Comet though she was scared of him instead. Which she was, but that was different. Ponies weren't like other things, they had feelings, and yet that just made them scarier.
