When We're Rollin Through the Wild Wild West

Who: Everyone! EVERYONE!
Broadcast: IF YOU WANNA
Action: Everywhere! EVERYWHERE!
When: Mid-September - Mid-October

[How's your ship doing, pardners? Is it still pretty damaged? Is it glitching out hardcore? Well, there is one place to land to take care of all that, and that's on a dusty old moon in front of a planet that no one wants to go to. On this moon, you'll find a civilization that looks a lot like one's stepped into a wild west movie, hardened cowpolk and mutant horses and all. Will you become a vigilante, hunting bounties and stopping gangs from doing their dirty work? Will you go exploring planetside, with a cowboy hat and a stalk of wheat in your mouth to complete the look? Good luck with that; there is no wheat. This town ain't big enough for all you flooters, but make it so! For the ratings!

In other words, it's a planet mingle! Get 'er done!]

[ He would be very pleased to hear he had moved up in her estimations, and was less likely to be shot. ]

Neither did I. I am just glad to be astride again. Back in my world my family raised horses and my Companion takes on the shape of a horse, and I have very much missed riding. A lovely companion simply makes the ride sweeter.

I'll take that as a compliment. Is shape-changing common back home, for you?

[She's not sure exactly if they've had a conversation about his "companion" before, but it's both a word that sounds like it starts with a capital letter, and mentions something she's not so used to considering commonplace. Although maybe after the last few run-ins with Banner, she should start.]

Oh, no, Companions do not shape-change. They are in the shape of horses, but they are not actually horses. They are gifts from the Goddess, choosers of us Heralds.

[ It is a rather hard concept to explain, especially when no one knew exactly what the Companions were, only that they aided them. ]

So, sentient? Capable of free choice, communication?

[Fascinating concept, if so. It implies a very specific form of partnership, and a great deal of trust, she imagines. So, likely not her kind of gig.]

[ He nodded and smiled, glad she understood. ]

Yes, exactly. The majority of Companion and Herald pairs can speak to each other mind to mind, and for myself Yfandes both saved my life and has served as friend and guide since I came into my powers.

[ Soulful eyes looked to Natasha, expertly sitting his mount's attempt at a jig. ]

She would like you.
