PERIDOT

[dramatispersonae]

You find yourself in a children’s room. Fortunately, there’s still plenty of room for everyone as either you’re all much, much smaller, or you’re standing in a bedroom for particularly gigantic children...

ROUND 2

[dramatispersonae]

You are now looking at a stuffed patchwork Peridot, Sterling and Onyx horse that is just your size! (...Was there even that much fluff in the first place…?)

The Velveteen Rabbit speaks again;

“Your friend is almost ready now! But...What sort of friend is your friend? What is it about them that you like? What kind of things do they do?”

He likes fishing!

Re: DISCUSSION

[exchanged]

A water-type...?

Re: DISCUSSION

[livebait]

Yes!

Re: DISCUSSION

[exchanged]

That's fine.

Re: DISCUSSION

[livebait]

And swimming?

Re: DISCUSSION

[exchanged]

Um... sure.

[enthusiasm counts for something.]

... sounds like an interesting horse.

Re: DISCUSSION

[soldieronwards]

Sure. He enjoys coming with us to the river and helping us catch--

Re: DISCUSSION

[soldieronwards]

Wait, if you're a fish, why do you like fishing? Isn't that a kind of cruelty?!

Re: DISCUSSION

[livebait]

What do big fish eat?

Re: DISCUSSION

[soldieronwards]

...I get it.

You're a tuna, not a minnow.

Re: DISCUSSION

[livebait]

I'm an alien!

. . . minnows are tasty . . . so is tuna . . .

Re: DISCUSSION

[soldieronwards]

That makes it even more complicated.

All right, so our horse loves fish. He loves eating fish, too.

Re: DISCUSSION

[livebait]

Okay~~!

[I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT HORSES ACTUALLY DO]

Re: DISCUSSION

[soldieronwards]

But he also likes talking with us on long trips about just about anything. Who's to say our horse can't talk?

Re: DISCUSSION

[livebait]

Of course he can talk.

Re: DISCUSSION

[soldieronwards]

He ought to be pretty loyal too. I mean, that's something that friends do.

Re: DISCUSSION

[livebait]

. . . loyal?

Re: DISCUSSION

[soldieronwards]

You don't--? I guess you are an alien.

That means he sticks by us. His friends. No matter how bad things get.

Our horse likes fishing and swimming, and he talks to us on long trips. He's also a real loyal friend.

RESULT

[dramatispersonae]

Peridot denim fabric wraps itself around your horse, twisting and tying itself into overalls with soft felt Sterling fishes stitched into the legs, and a pair of Sterling goggles hang from one pocket. Sterling galoshes with Peridot polka dots pop onto each bottom hoof.

A fishing pole made with a straw and string, and weighted with a small metal washer fly above your horse's head, and he reaches up to grab it. As he gives it a few test swings, you notice the content smile sewn onto its face.
