THE TOWERING BUILDINGS OF ENCOY were almost familiar to him , but not quite. He was used to the yesterday's tomorrow that Walter Robotics promised , but this ? This seemed a little overkill. Even for the Robot. It took him . . well. He didn't want to admit how long it took him to even get to the city in the first place. None of their transportation could really accommodate his size ( or weight ) , not that he blamed them. And even though some of the denizens he passed on his way down the street were made of metal , just like him , he had this strange feeling of being out of place. But that was just the circumstances talking. Anyone would feel out of place in his shoes - being brought to a weird city out of nowhere.

HARMONY HAS LEARNED VERY QUICKLY that there is no shortage of entertainment in Yesteryear. And she has made it a point to try everything it has to offer - including the rodeo. Which is something she was convinced wasn’t real. Tucker continuously saying ‘this ain't my first rodeo’ wasn’t enough to change her opinion , either. The only problem with the rodeo? Horses were one of the main events. The worst animal in the world , and for some reason there’s a whole . . thing surrounding them. Just this once , however , she was willing to face her fears. She enters the horse-riding area , walking up to one of the horses with its handler.

BUT THIS IS NO ORDINARY HORSE. The animal , if you can even call it that , that she’s standing face to face with looks like it crawled straight out of hell just to drag her back down with it. Time feels like it stops for an eternity , and she freezes in pure , unadulterated horror. When it seems that things can’t get any worse ── she screams. A blood curdling , horror movie , i-just-got-stabbed-and-i’m-dying scream.

THE COOL , SALTY BREEZE OF THE SEA is a very welcome reprieve from the merciless heat of the sun above. Chai stands , feet buried in the sand , shoes long abandoned under an umbrella a few feet away. Now this is something he could get used to. Distracted by the sight of shimmering water in front of him , he doesn't notice the small robotic cat wander off behind him. Maybe it wasn't the best idea to bring her to the beach anyways - but hey. Peppermint never said that she wasn't waterproof.
