We've got to stop meeting like this...

Ever since Bethany's birthday, we've been hanging out on the Marshy Isles. To tell you the truth, we haven't done much on HI2 lately besides occasionally using the flute - it's been extra busy around here. Things should be calming down some now, though. *Sighs.* It's always a bummer when summer comes to an end.

Yesterday, Orion and I visited Gas Isle to use the flute. On our quick sweep of the island for wilds, we came across this:

A perlino Florida Cracker, the breed and color of Bethany's dream horse! We all kept our fingers crossed that it would be a mare with good stats!






Well,



we



were....






thwarted on both counts.

It turned out to be a +2/6 stallion whose stats add up to a mere +5. Oh, HI2, why do you taunt us so?

I figured I'd let somebody else use the flute after that because I was feeling unlucky. Julie and Xia took over and fluted this:

We knew that avatar instantly: grey Camargue. (Of course we would. For anyone who doesn't already know, we have two of them in our herd already. Long story.)

Julie switched to Mistral, the first of our two +6/6 Camargue stallions, for one more screenshot. Yep, they have identical avatars, of course.

Would this be +6/6 grey Camargue stallion #3? 






It would



just figure, 



wouldn't it?

Almost! Just one strength stat point shy.

And now let's compare him to the other Camargues, Mistral and Murphy.

Mistral: 

• is the tallest at 13.3 hands
• has lighter/shinier hooves than the others
• lacks his supposedly "bald face." 
• has a stat total of +67
• is as intelligent as Camargues come

Murphy:

• is the shortest at 13.0 hands
• has a smattering of dark specks on his coat
• has a stat total of +71
• is the most naturally agile of the three

Here's the new guy again. He:

• is 13.2 hands, an inch shorter than Mistral and two inches taller than Murphy
• has a stripe that shows up. Yay! 
• has a stat total of +76 (the same as Cheeto's. What a coincidence!)
• is as fast as Camargues come. (Well, he will be once trained.)

It doesn't seem fair to pass this horse up when his stat total is higher than both of the 6/6ers. Likewise, it doesn't seem fair to pass Cheeto up when his stat total is the same as the Camargue's. Great. Just great. Thanks a lot, Gas Isle. XD
