Okay, this is getting fucking ridiculous, this is.

I agree, my American friend.

We go to where we heard the signal yesterday, we poke around, what do we find? Something that closely resembled a firepit. Which, granted, I don't mind anyone making. But then there was that...circle of runes or whatever the hell those squiggles were.

Whoever is giving off this odd signal is responsible for the rune circles we have been seeing.

You would think, with this sort of trail, they would want to be found. But no. Of course not. I booted the radio up again and we couldn't find hide nor hair of that signal at all today.

It could just be that whoever it is is skittish.

I just want to know who it is and how they're leaving those circles around! I mean, have you seen most of the people these days? Hooves! Granted, Yvonne can do that...thing. She's getting really good at it too. So maybe she could move...I dunno, a candle and do something like this. But she's been manning the radio!

So not only is it likely to not be her doing this, but it still does not answer the question of what their purpose are.

Could just be something like our spray-paint markings to denote which houses we've raided.

Could be. I don't get that feeling, though. These feel...deliberate for a different purpose.

Yeah, they weird me out as well. Upside though, I saw the others actually pay attention to you today!

It would seem familiarity removes fear.

And I saw you skipping breakfast.

...I am not hungry. I do not know why.

We really need to find out what you eat. And how often you eat. What, are you part snake now? No, that wouldn't explain why you look sorta like a bug.

I will try to take note of when I feel hungry for you. And when I stop feeling hungry.

That'd help. I'd like to be able to pin it down. Hell, my diet as it is unnerves the others. Your lack of one freaks me out. Mostly because I'm not sure if we're doing it right.

Understood. So. Tomorrow we hunt again?

Yeah, but I think I might go it alone. I'm...half-decent at the flying. I'll get close in the cab, then fly around and see if I can't pick up signs of someone in the city.

I see. And what will I do?

Play lookout. Just in case whoever it is comes here instead. And yes, that means you and Yvonne will have to get along. If need be, I want you to help out Grace with the raiding as well. She's starting to have to go out further and further to get anything.

...Understood, my friend. I will try to do as such. I just hope they will let me.

July 14th - Contact

Writing this one alone today. Well, not exactly alone, but I'm not back at the base for it. There's a good reason for that.

I, uh. Well. I packed up my things just in case I actually found something and wanted to take a picture or the like of it, to prove a point. And I hunted the signal a little more.

I was not expecting to find more pony-like life forms.

Okay, so, as we've noticed, everyone has their own coloring. That didn't stop being true for these guys. The one with a horn is violet with a blue mane and tail, and green eyes. The one with wings is orange, with a yellow mane and tail, and also green eyes. The regular pony is red, with a blue mane and tail, and blue eyes.

Every single one of them has a mark on their butt - Sorry, I've just been informed it's a flank. Also, the correct terms for them all are unicorn, pegasus, and 'earth pony'.

...Yes, I am making a log of this. Did you think I wouldn't?

...So that the others will believe me.

...Yes, there are others around here.

Anyways!

It took me most of the day to convince them that I wasn't going to hurt them. It didn't help that they'd apparently seen me tooling around with Dom the other day. Apparently all ponies are skittish around...whatever he's turned into. I had to spend hours assuring them that I was myself. Which mentally raises a few warning bells as to what Dom's turned into in my mind.

Still, I noticed that they had fresh food and water, and when I asked where they got it from, they clammed up.

...Oh? Okay. Apparently they'll be willing to tell us when I lead them back to the others tomorrow. Which is promising.

...I asked them about the rune circles I've been seeing around, and they said that they were responsible, but that they'd tell me about it tomorrow as well. There's a lot of things they'll have to cover tomorrow, apparently. I hope...actually, I can just make a list.

...What? You all don't make a list of important things so that you don't forget them?

...That's what I thought. And my memory's not that great to begin with. I was getting better about it before I became this. Anyways, that list.

Okay, runic circles, where they're getting the fresh food from, oh, and what they're even doing here to begin with. Check, check, and check. Okay! So tomorrow, you three are going to tell us a lot of things.

Get some sleep. It's relatively safe out here, and if something bothers us, I'll wake up and deal with it.
