Posts by Galileo Winters

The young appaloosa was going to simply walk away, but decided that he probably needed more acquaintances. The yearling trotted over to the two cats with a small smile, "Hello, I'm Galileo." He said. He was pleased that his smile was at least somewhat genuine, which was rare, so he gave himself a mental pat in the back.

Galileo cantered over to his mother, "What happened?!" He questioned, letting his precious persona slip past from him. But at this point, he really didn't care, he wanted to make sure that she was alright. It seemed as though she had driven the bipedaled creature off, so he was less worried when he watched in shock and horror. 'A doctor! Or a nurse, I need to go find someone!' he wanted to go as quickly as possible yet he hesitated until his mind finally refocused to the situation.

"I'll be right back, I'll try and find somebody to help." He said, before galloping to search for someone with medical training.

The leopard spotted colt decided it was time for him to pull some of his weight for the clan as well, shy or not, nobody likes freeloaders. "I would like one as well, please...that is, if you don't mind..." He said, adding an extra mumble or two in the sentence.

Track.

Galileo wasn't much to show off or make a spectacle, but he wanted to test his abilities in an event that required some basic organization skills. It couldn't be that hard, or maybe his mother just made it look to easy. Whatever the case, he wasn't going to back down from it now. After all, he's spent most of his time just planning the silly thing. Plus, no one would probably stop them, parades were pleasing to watch. Even he admitted that.

The appaloosa wrangled up some more yearlings in the clan and prepared a dance choreographed by him. He even managed to work some music in by using an old record player he found in the basement of a house. This invention was actually the reason as to how he got the idea in the first place. Experimentation had it's perks. Though it took great effort for someone with no opposable thumbs to actually get it working. And this time was no different, with difficulty, he switched song after song to get everyone's opinion in the matter. Once they settled for something, they started the routine.

The dance started with the six horses all in a straight line; parallel of each other. They then splitter into two, every other one went backwards while the others went forwards. Of course, the yearlings he chose to trot in reverse were more skilled with their hooves than the ones that trotted normally. They then turned so they faced another's rear and formed a semi circle with their groups. They then started to trot in a circular shape, counter-clockwise. They were to slowly pull away from a fixed point in the middle, then slowly make their way back and positioned themselves so that they somewhat touched noses. Pulling back a little more before walking sideways, and then ending it with them breaking apart and going back to where they started. Of course, this didn't all happen perfectly and the herd made a lot of mistakes.

Even when they somewhat got it, Galileo thought it lacked the finesse he had in mind before. He got the idea part-ways through their seventh try, and told them to stop immediately. They moved their practice session in the middle of the camp instead, so they would get the critique they needed. And if other's wanted to join, they were free to do so as well.

Galileo joined his fellow peers in an attempt to become more sociable and for a breather. The colt was getting stressed from his recent experimentation on the inventions left here by the bipedaled creatures they called humans. He didn't understand how they worked and was getting frustrated because he really wanted to know, and went to cool his head by going outside until a kit asked to meet with others. This was a great oppurtunity to relax and get his mind of things, so he decided to follow through with talking to them. "Hello, my name is Galileo Winters. How about yourself?"

"I'm planning a parade!" He announced, "Right now, we are practicing for a small portion of it. You are free to join in whenever you see fit, that is, if you want to. Critique is also very welcome." Continuing on with the rest of the colts and fillies. His shy persona can stay away for now, there was no need of it. And if someone asked why he got this sudden boost of confidence, he can just excuse it as a burst of creativity.

Galileo grimaced at the sight of the small child's body. He absolutely promised himself that he would be strong when faced with death, but he just couldn't help but internally cower. He basically watched the misery spread in the atmosphere, almost everyone had this horrified look to their faces, and he was one of them. The colt visibly trembled before realizing that the loss of somebody was hard to deal with, no matter how old they were. The orange tabby kit didn't look to good either, he was much older the tom and wanted to help because he was an older figure, but had no clue as to what to say to reassure him. Nothing good came from this, what could he tell him other than, 'Hey, at least it wasn't you?' Which of course was definitely not the right thing to say. In the end, he chose to remain silent.

"Of course, like I said, anyone is free to join in at anytime if they so wished." He replied to the small calico kitten, "You can even lead your own part of the parade if you wanted to, just inform me of the new changes so I can add it to the plan." Galileo called the five other horses for a break, and they soon dispersed for a while. "I can answer more questions if needed."

The young colt trotted over to the group of animals, and to his surprise, found a palomino horse. "Greetings, I'm Galileo Winters..." He assumed she was joining the clan, and tried to welcome her genuinely. "If you ever get lost...I'm sure you can ask anyone, e-everyone's friendly..." He told the mare.

"Maybe we can hide out until we're sure they won't return..." Galileo suggested, he was more worried about his mother than anything else and wanted to take a safer route. If luck was on their side maybe hiding out long enough would lead the reinforcements to doubt their companions, after all, emotion and thoughts was something that was shared by all creatures. "We can even have our avian clan members watch from afar, and ambush them if needed." He brought more ideas onto the table, they didn't have to choose any of them, but he at least wanted to get his thoughts out there.

Galileo approached the stranger with caution, which typically meant he hid behind his mother. This wasn't an act, he was suspicious of anyone who didn't want to join the clan. For all he knew, this cat came for a declaration of war, so he remained wary and alert. He glared daggers at the warden.

The leopard spotted colt was surprised to find another joining visitor, "Welcome to Colouredclan." He greeted her. He was finding it odd how the population of horses in colouredclan was growing lately. He thought of a certain orange tabby kitten when thinking, 'I wonder how he's going to fare...' He had noticed the younger one's fear of horses through the subtle little hints he gave. Things clicked when he wouldn't even look at the other new member, Alaska. He laughed at himself internally for not realizing it sooner, especially since they met on random occasions a lot. Though it was like this, he couldn't really blame him either, being smaller must make anything larger than you terrifying.

Galileo wasn't a poet, but did like to hear them. So if they were allowed to attend, then he would be willing to stand by in the sidelines and listen with what they had to say. He waited for their leader's opinion on the matter; just like everybody else there.

Galileo paced on the roof of an old building, it was sturdy yet broken. That's kind of how he felt at the moment, thus the pacing continued. He had felt this weird sensation in his chest, and it was only after talking to one certain filly in particular. The appaloosa was sure she poisoned him somehow, he wasn't sure how yet but he was determined to find out. He had called her up here to talk about this, and why she had done so when he had only greeted her hello. He shook his head in frustration, what was doing this to him?!

He stopped pacing to take a look at the sky, huge cumulus nimbus clouds covered them, as if it were a gray wooly blanket. He had actually asked one of his peers about his condition, they ended up laughing at him. He even speculated that the gods were punishing him, he just couldn't grasp the situation no matter how hard he tried. But the light rain helped with relieving the worries from his mind, like being cleansed through nature. He patiently waited for the filly to arrive, and spent the time looking over the city.

/Time's going fast for him because he's impatient, so Nebraska won't be late unless you want her to be. I also hope I didn't get the wrong idea. XD

The young colt was too entranced with the scenery to notice the horse he called has already arrived, so he was quite startled to see the filly behind him, "Why are you here?!" He questioned before realizing what he just said, and blushed "F-Forget that..." He stuttered, before clearing his throat to try and regain his composure back,"Pardon me. I apologize for calling you here in such short notice." He internally cursed himself for getting side-tracked. "Anyway, I'll get straight to the point; what have you done to me?" He asked, a hint of suspicion in his voice. On the outside, he showed a perfectly calm and serious face, but on the inside he was worrying and panicking like a crazy paranoid lunatic.

Galileo was surprised she hadn't admit it when he has obviously caught her, "You poisoned me, of course! What else could explain this weird feeling other than that?" He said as if it were a fact, "I mean, I've researched nearly everything and asked almost everyone I've met and they all looked at me as if I was a fool! Look, if this is all some sort of funny joke, than I advise you stop at once!" He warned; this was the other conclusion he came up to.

The appaloosa calmed himself, it wasn't like him to accuse others of being criminals or anything, the feelings he got just scared him a lot. After gathering his thoughts together, he answered her question, "Well...when I'm around you, I usually lose all focus. And sometimes I won't be able to concentrate again until you leave or is out of sight." He thought some more, "My chest also hurts whenever I just look or glance your way." He also decided to explain his reasons for coming to such a conclusion earlier, "It doesn't happen when I'm around others, just you. That's why I figured you did something to me, and I'm sorry." She was helping him, she couldn't have done what he previously assumed as true.

The appaloosa decided to greet him next, "Greetings, and welcome to Colouredclan. If you need anything, I'm sure you can ask anybody here." He said, trotting over to the black tom, "My name is Galileo." He informed him.

He looked at her in astonishment, "Are you sure?" He asked, he never liked someone before and now that she declared it so confidently, he was at a loss on what to do. He never understood the emotion called love, no matter how many times he was told. Right now, all he could do was think of some options and ask more questions, "What do I do?" Than he realized something, "How about you?"
