Ride that Pony

[Wiz]

Toby

Toby goes out into the field, after the last horse is clear and he does his best to try to calm the animals down, getting them into an orderly herd. He goes for a stallion first because if he has one with him, it should help calm the mares.

Umeda

Umeda notices Toby calming the horses in between checking the horses for injury.

"Good thinking, boy. Now please look around and tell me if you see anything strange on any of the horses or any horses acting weird. I need more eyes checking these horses. No one will thank us if we end up with dead horses."

Umeda goes back to work.

Keitaro Kenji

"I guess I'll clean up here." Keitaro shrugs, non-committed and begins to lift some debris out of the barn, showing off his massive toned and hot bod.

Seduction roll on Hiroshi! Look at my pecs. XD

Hiroshi (Hiroko Fujii)

Hiroshi (Hiroko) focused on sweeping, mostly keeping his (her) head down. Once, he (she) glanced up and accidentally got a very good look at Keitaro. For a second, his (her) brain shut down, the lower functions taking over to mentally drool a bit. Then, the memories of that night shook him (her) and he (she) managed to unsteadily get back to work.

Le sigh. A 9.

[DaburaMiyao]

Ryouta stares after Umeda after he checks him, his mouth slightly opened for a second before he closes it and gets to his feet. He watches everyone working around him and walks over to Umeda.

All of the horses seem fine other than being scared, but they start calming down one-by-one. The dog running around helps Toby lead the horses into the barn then jumps around him excitedly.

"Doctor?" Ryouta asks carefully when they all see that the horses are safe. "I'm really glad that you're here." Ryouta seems to admire Umeda. He blushes.

"Hey guys, I think I'll go run the store. Does anyone want to come with me?"

[Wiz]

Toby

Toby gets the horses back in their stalls and then leans down to pet the dog. "How are you doing, boy? Still frisky as ever!"

OOC: Dog got a name? :)

[Siren]

Umeda

Umeda looks at the boy and smiles a real smile. It makes his whole face infinitely more attractive.

"No problem it is my job and I enjoy making sure everyone is ok."

Umeda pulls out a list and starts to write some things on it.

"If I am going to be taking care of horses I will need some items that you don't have. Whoever was taking care of the horses before was missing some things. I will go to the store with you so I can get them and make sure the right items are bought."

[Tichrondrius]

Keitaro Kenji

"Hey, how ya doin' over there Hiroshi?" Keitaro calls with a smile, and flexes a bit to finish this quickly.

To clean! Skill!

"Oh, I meant the store my family runs. Of course, we might have some of that stuff on stock. You're free to take whatever you want, just don't tell anyone." Ryouta blushes and lead Umeda to the building at the front of the yard.

The dog, whose tag says 'Scraps' wags his tail and stand on his hind legs to lick Toby's face.

[Neon Knight]

Hiroshi (Hiroko Fujii)

"F-fine." Hiroshi (Hiroko) focused on what he (she) was doing, trying to ignore Keitaro.

[Wiz]

Toby

Toby plays with the dog, "How's my big boy... How's my little Scrapper!" He reaches into a pocket and pulls out a dog biscut. "No... Toby didn't forget Scraps... I brought sugar for the horses, and biscuts for my Scrappie!"

[Siren]

Umeda

Umeda looks up from his list and frowns.

"I hope they have it. One of these things I need is for the horse with the bad leg. Well I will still go."

[DaburaMiyao]

Ryouta smiles up at Umeda. "It's okay, we can always go somewhere else if you need to. I don't mind." He starts to take Umeda's hand but hesitates and thinks it better just to lead the way.

Once they get inside the small store, Ryouta turns the "closed" sign around and pulls up an extra chair for Umeda. Business looks like it might be slow today but there are a few cars heading up and down the long road. Ryouta sits down behind the register and looks around, then at Umeda.

"Can you keep a secret? Lately a lot of our cows have been disappearing. My dad doesn't want people to know because he thinks they'll think of him as a bad farmer or whatever, but I don't think it's his fault." Ryouta bites his lip.

[Tichrondrius]

Keitaro Kenji

"Okay, I think that looks good, right?" Keitaro says, dusting himself off, and looking over at her. "Right?"

[Siren]

Umeda

Umeda lights a cigarette and looks down at the master.

"Yes I can keep a secret, but I don't know what you expect me to do about it. I am just around to be a doctor, not your personal hero."

Umeda starts looking for the stuff he needs to do his work.

[Neon Knight]

Hiroshi (Hiroko Fujii)

"Y-yeah." Hiroshi (Hiroko) turned away from Keitaro. Please go away, please go away, please go away...

[Tichrondrius]

Keitaro Kenji

"Hey, you okay?" He asked politely, putting a hand on Hiroshi's shoulder. "You look a little flushed, man, are you getting heat stroke?"

[DaburaMiyao]

Ryouta blushes, stands up, and turns away from Umeda, crossing his arms with a slight pout. "You can't smoke in here. And I'm not asking for you to do anything, its just weird." He walks around the counter and stands on the other side, facing Umeda completely straight-faced.

"There were two nights that I saw a really bright light, and then a cow was gone the next morning."

Ryouta leans over the desk. "I suspect..."

He throws his hands in the air dramatically.

"ALIENS!"

[Siren]

Umeda

Umeda tosses his cigarette to the floor and puts it out with his foot. Then he starts to laugh.

"Aliens, why aliens?"

[Neon Knight]

Hiroshi (Hiroko Fujii)

Hiroshi (Hiroko) squirmed under Keitaro's hand, and, if anything, got even redder.

"I'm fine. Really, I'm fine. You can go.. help out at the store or something."

[DaburaMiyao]

Ryouta looks disgruntled.

"How else can we explain this?"

[Siren]

Umeda

"Someone dumb came out with their light on in a truck and stole your cow. If not that then something else similar. There are no aliens."

Umeda picks something up off the shelf.

"I got what I need the most. The rest can wait a bit."

[Tichrondrius]

Keitaro Kenji

"Nah, I think I should take you to that doctor fellor." Keitaro said sternly. "If you don't wanna go I figure I'll have to carry you."

[Neon Knight]

Hiroshi (Hiroko Fujii)

...

He wouldn't...

"I told you, I'm fine." Hirsohi (Hiroko) stood his (her) ground.

[Wiz]

Toby

Toby makes sure the animals are put back into undamaged stalls and cuts away the burned sections of the wall and stalls, stacking the burned wood and hay outside, then begins effecting repairs.

Keitaro Kenji

"Fine then, you asked for it!" Keitaro says, grabbing Hiroshi and trying to pull him over his shoulder. "Sorry about this, I don't want anyone getting hurt on this job."

[DaburaMiyao]

"You're a catboy!" Ryouta turned away again, "How do you know aliens don't exist?"

"Er..." He turned back to Umeda. "I guess you're right. I'm just being stupid. Of course aliens don't exist."

He sits back at the counter, blushing and embarrassed. "Are you going back to the house? If you are, could you ask Hiroshi to come out here? I'd like to thank him again."

---

Scraps waddles behind Toby happily as they both round up all of the animals that shouldn't be in the field, then suddenly stands still with his floppy ears standing up oddly. The dog stays there for a second, listening to something, then points toward the trees with one paw like it would do while hunting, and yelps to get Toby's attention, in case Toby isn't looking.

---

Keitaro successfully manages to lift Hiroshi into the air [I don't think anything you roll can stop it] and starts to walk. As he puts a foot forward, it hits a shovel and he falls on top of Hiroshi, their lips touching.

[Neon Knight]

Hiroshi (Hiroko Fujii)

For a moment, Hiroshi (Hiroko) lay still, the wind knocked out of him (her). Then he (she) realized what was going on. Panicking, he (she) tried to shove the larger, heavier Keitaro off of himself (herself.) Unable to manage it, he (she) became frantic.

"G-get off me!" In his (her) panic, his (her) voice slipped into its natural register.

[Wiz]

Toby

Toby looks down at the dog, "What is it boy? Some kind of trouble? Take me there!" He follows the dog.

[Tichrondrius]

Keitaro Kenji

"I- I'm sorry!" Keitaro said quickly, pushing himself off of her and sitting back in a dazed state. He rubbed a finger across his lips absently and stared at the girl. "...You must be sick, even your voice is failing." Was all he could muster.
