June 20th - No meat left

It's been gnawing at me for a little while now. No meat, whatsoever. I mean, I know I won't die of malnutrition right away and all. And you guys seem perfectly capable of living on just the green stuff.

We're tiny horses. Ponies, really. Even if we are all different subspecies, I wouldn't expect us to suddenly turn omnivore. Especially considering the reaction we had to even the slightest whiff of your grill.

...I moved it outside. I know I did.

Didn't really help. One smell and...

Okay, fine. I'll look into moving it further away. When I have actual meat to grill again.

There are other things we need to consider as well.

Oh?

Winter, for one. It comes really fast when it does. And I'm pretty sure the museum isn't insulated all that well. And the heaters aren't working either. Meaning we'd freeze at night.

Crap. We'll have to move to an apartment building, won't we?

Eventually, yes. When we find one. We can still use this place during the summer, but it won't do for winter unless we deface one of the exhibits to put up more insulation.

Well, let's compromise. How about we find a nearby apartment building that's well-insulated, see what it'd take to turn on the heaters in both whatever we find and this place, and go from there? Whichever is easier to boot back up, we'll do.

That sounds like a sound, reasonable, and logical plan. Except for the fact that all our solar panels are already here.

Eh, I'll go get more for wherever we end up.

Meaning you'll get to cart them up stairs again.

Joy.

...Are you...okay?

I just...I don't really want to have to go, y'know. I promised someone I would be here if they showed up. It's why I'm still here. This place is a landmark. It's easy to find.

You can't always stick to the plan. Sometimes the plan has to change to reflect reality. It's never as nice as you'd like it to be.

...Yeah. But we can at least try.
