[On the screen is an armoured cavalry soldier and his horse. The two of them seems to be snacking on what seems to be cut up apple slices from a plate. It would be normal, except the apple slices seem to be... rather big compared to their bodies.

The camera moves, showing Yamanbagiri. Who looks both a little confused and... also rather big compared to the cavalry soldier and the horse. Maybe it's the soldier and the horse who are tiny after all.]

These two appeared in my room yesterday. I don't know what they are, except that they like to follow me around.

Does anyone recognise them, or have any idea what they are?

I'm pretty sure they're alive. At least they feel a lot more real than I expect a toy to be.

He got upset when I squeeze him too hard by accident.

[nolittlesecret]

That is both creepy and really cool.

I wouldn't question it too much. This place has a way of giving us things that we need, even if we don't realize at the moment that we do. Take care of those little guys, and maybe you'll find their reason sooner or later. Or just be the guy who has a mini cavalry at this disposal for maximum ankle attacking powers.

[replicatedform]

I will. At least I know they're willing to help me. Just got to learn how to work and communicate with them.

Or let them loose at whoever annoys me.

[Not really. Maybe.]

[nolittlesecret]

Talking might work. Order them around and see what happens as an experiment first. And if they listen? Then you know how to communicate.

[replicatedform]

Right. They can understand me at least. I think. It would be easier if they can talk as well.

[He's already sorting out potential use for this troop in his head.]

[nolittlesecret]

Give them paper and a pencil and see if they can write? Or teach them to use a pda or something set to the notepad function. Even sign language could be simple enough for yes and no.

[replicatedform]

All of them, so they can be flexible in any situation. I can spare giving them their own pencil to carry around. Or buy them a small enough pencil.

[Like those small, gimmick pens and pencils.]

[nolittlesecret]

That sounds like a good plan to go with then. After making sure they're literate enough to write.

[replicatedform]

They can always draw. But that wouldn't be a problem if it's mapmaking.

[nolittlesecret]

Drawing is a good way to communicate.

[replicatedform]

Versatile as well.

It looks like I have a lot of things to consider for them.

[Communications, training... what's next, clothes?]

[nolittlesecret]

Good luck with that.

Might wanna consider the dolls section in a toy store if ya need to dress them.

[replicatedform]

I probably might have to, at this rate.

[The poor guy might need more clothes.]

Who knew keeping him around might involve all of this?
