[Mulder has noticed the horrifying thing about the latest wave of newcomers, and it's really starting to get to him. There's got to be some kind of twisted Malnosso logic at work, right? And a reason why all these wingless people are still alive and well?]

What happened to all of these New Feather's wings?

[And with that, Agent Mulder is heading out ALL OVER THE PLACE to investigate and check out what kinds of newcomers they're bringing in. Maybe he'll find some kind of pattern, a method to their madness... OR NOT.]

[The moment Mulder returns to his apartment (second floor, how convenient) and looks out his bedroom window, he may notice a peculiar horse standing on a hill top nearby.

And it is staring straight at him.]

[most_unwanted]

[OK, cranking the paranoia level up a few degrees!]

[Mulder stares out that window for a little while. Then, because it's been One of Those Days and he has no idea how better to handle this... he waves.]

[poobrain]

[No response.]

[most_unwanted]

[Creeeeepy. He's not so sure he can rest easy just shutting the blinds on it. So... Mulder finally opens the window.]

Hey! Hey, you out there! Did you want something!?

[poobrain]

[Still no response.]

[most_unwanted]

[Those eyes... those creepy, creepy eyes. Mulder is just going to keep trying, damn it. :| But he's also really not sure he'll be able to sleep with the knowledge that it could still be OUT THERE, watching.]

Ok, can you at least answer me this? Huh? What the hell are you supposed to BE?

[poobrain]

[Still no response.

But it's clearly a horse. ... Clearly.]

[most_unwanted]

[But horses aren't supposed to have SUCH DISTURBING EYES.]

Are you just going to sit there watching me all night? Did the Malnosso do this, did they? Huh? WHO ARE YOU WORKING FOR?

[Mulder is totally oblivious to how crazy this probably seems.]

[Those eyes... THOSE EYEEEEEES.]

[Ok, fine. Mulder is just going to... close the blinds. For a moment. Just closing them and pretending he's not seeing those eyes staring soullessly back at him...]

[Lalala not doing anything in particular, just going to sit down here and munch on sunflower seeds.]

[...]

[...but he can't resist and steps over to peer outside after a few minutes.]

[poobrain]

[By now, the moon is casting an eerie glow on the horse, casting a large shadow onto the ground below it. And still, it continues to stare.]

[most_unwanted]

[Spookier and spookier. Mulder keeps having a bad feeling about this, like there's more to it than meets the eye. Maybe he can scare it away?]

[He draws out his gun and fires a few warning shots toward it.]

[poobrain]

[Suddenly... a loud popping sound. The horse is literally deflating and an angry-looking little man crawls out.

Yup, he looks miffed.]

[most_unwanted]

[OK HE DID NOT EXPECT THAT.]

[Mulder stares at the angry man intently, deciding that the Malnosso have finally crossed some kind of sanity horizon somewhere. If this is their doing.]

Are you spying on me!?

[poobrain]

[After getting to his feet, the little man hastily dusts himself off and tries his best not to look suspicious. He folds up the remains of the horse and flings them over his shoulder, then gives a curt nod to Mulder.]

... Good night.

[most_unwanted]

That's it!? It's not every night I get a warped cartoonish horse with soulless eyes camped outside my window... You're not going to explain what the hell you were doing?

[poobrain]

[Sorry, Mulder, the Ice King is already leaving, humming cheerfully under his breath.]

[most_unwanted]

[Upon realizing that he's not getting his attention, Mulder... stares after him. He is so not going to be sleeping well tonight after THAT.]
