Cheating the Cycle of Life- A Padded Pony Collab
Sewer by XXXX
Previous ChapterNext ChapterSeaweed Hooker wasn't a pony that had a very exciting life, begin a low-coast algae gatherer and living in a bamboo and balsa wood shack next to the coast where his work took place. Sure, sometimes his village organzied some feasts, and, occassionally, relatives came to visit, but, aside from those, it was hard to break routine.
"And, with this, I'm at twenty," he said, pulling up his small web full of seawweds onto his dinky little boat "another five full webs, and I'll be done for today."
That said, Seaweed opened up the web. Suddenly, from inside the ball of seawweds, ad yellow blur jumped out, shouting "Freedom at last!"
Confused and surprised, Seaweed Hooker jumped backwards and looked at the yellow blur's general direction, only to see a yellow filly no odler than seven with orange mane prancing in place and laughing madly for seemingly no reason.
"Who are you? What were you doing inside that? You know that you shouldn't swim around here, right? There's the sewer exit nearby." Seaweed Hook her asked, a hint of terror in his vocie, as the filly immediately calmed down, spitting a bit of water mixed with algae out of the ship, before answering to the seapony's questions.
"My name is Noi. One of my friends thought it would have been fun to flush down my toilet, only because..." she stopped mid-sentence "Ah, nevermind, it was just an arguemtn between me and her. Anyways, where am I?"
Seaweed Hooker looked ocnfsued at Noi, stupified by the way she had gotten there.
"Are you serious? My relatives say tha toilets aren't big enough to flush down a filly," Seaweed said. Noi looked at the seapony surprised.
"Well, most don't fit a filly, but apparently my friend's does. However, 'your relatives'? Don't you have a toilet at home?" Noi asekd.
"I live in a shack, with just enough money to pay for the boat, the shack, the food and some little extras, and, to my knowledge, the plumbing for a bathroom is expensive, so, whenever nature calls, I go in the woods or use the sea."
Noi's cheeks puffed out and she was holding her mouth with her right hoof, a gagging sound comign from her.
"Erm... sorry. Anyways, where do you live?" Seaweed asked after a few moments of silence, in which the boat rocked, leaving him enough time to think about why he didn't need to specify where he expelled his wastes.
"Ponyville... I don't know how far it is, thought." Noi said, as her expression calmed down once more. Seaweed hooker sighed, as he took the boat's paddle, and started to move his boat towards the coast.
"Yes, it's quite far, five hours by hoof from my village. It's getting late, so you may want to stay for the night," Seaweed Hooker said, whle he paddled, Noi waved her ffront hooves around as hse sat down.
"No thanks, just give me a map and some food, I'll take it from there."
"But you may..."
"Look, I know I shouldn't do that, but I don't know your countryponies, and I've barely got to know you, so I don't have much faith in you."
Seaweed Hooker sighed, as his boat had already started to poitn towards the sandy coast, where other algae harvesters were doing their usual work.
"Okay, as you wish, Noi."
