How's buffalos?

Buffalos are doin' fine, thanks for askin'! It's tough to keep the peace in such a divided parcel of country, but I'm doin' my best!

[sheriff-silverstar]

I like your hat

Thank yuh kindly, partner!

[sheriff-silverstar]

Well, howdy do! Two fine folks to welcome to this here blogamajigger! Pleasure t'meet you both - never had a countess in town, that's fer certain!

I wanted to extend my warmest apologies for bein' so absent these past weeks - Maybelle may give you some cockamaimy story about me kickin' the com-pu-ter or somethin', but don't you listen to her! The com-pu-ter, uh, y'see, it had a malfunction! Completely independent of my hoof! So there's no need to worry about it!

(It's not my fault some screamin' face showed up on the screen, Maybelle promised me it was a funny video...)

[sheriff-silverstar]

MAYBELLE, COVER YOUR EYES

NO YOU MAY NOT USE THE COM-PU-TER

GIT OUTTA HERE!

Oh, hey Maybelle, i didn't see you there!

[sheriff-silverstar]

Howdy Sheriff, I was wonderin', is Sheriff your real name or is it just your job title?

Just a job title! Silverstar's my name, so I'm Sheriff Silverstar. Plenty of people call me just 'Sheriff' though, so feel free to call me that. (Maybelle's been tryin' t'call me 'Sher-Sher,' but I think she's only doing it to watch my blood pressure rise...)

[sheriff-silverstar]

Well, looky here! Another couple of friends!

Follower? Well, THAT don't make much sense, Maybelle! I ain't runnin' a cult here, after all.

Ah well, follower or friend, welcome to ya both! Enjoy your time here in Appaloosa - just don't make me come after y'all for breakin' any laws, understand?

[sheriff-silverstar]

well, i guess, but still, i know no pony could turn you down, you are so cool and....hot >//<

Ha ha, now I KNOW you're a nice fella, you're awful complimentary! Thanks for that, pal.

Then again, my mustache IS rather impressive...

[sheriff-silverstar]

Well, it's worth a shot, it's better to try and fail than to live in regret of what could have been.

Well, I dunno about that, partner - I'd rather have 'em in my life at all, even if I gotta pretend like I don't care. I'd just rather see them happy.

[sheriff-silverstar]

well, talk to me about it, i can ask them, you know, without them knowing you wanna know. I'm here to help you!

Well, aren't you a kind fella! Your name sure is an apt one, pal.

I dunno if you can help me much, though. They're ... not in town all the time, go around a lot on business. Prob'ly wouldn't even matter if they knew, they've got a busy life.

[sheriff-silverstar]

well, my advice with crushes, if you seem them, say hello to them, talk to them a bit, you never know how they feel until you ask!

Well, I suppose that's true! Not sure how this'un would react, though... I dunno if I'd want them hatin' me, if they didn't feel the same.

[sheriff-silverstar]

Dawww >w< Good luck, muchacho!

Thank ya kindly, partner. Not sure if anything'll come of it - but thankfully, bein' Sheriff doesn't leave a lot of time for moonin' about ponies who may never notice ya.

You wouldn't know that to look at Maybelle, though - she spends half the day starin' out the window, you'd think she was on the street-clearing commission instead of in the Sheriff's office!

[sheriff-silverstar]

Oh >w< well, talking about crushes, you have anypony that catches your eye, Sheriff? *giggles* Wanna arrest them for stealing your heart?

Heh ... I dunno if this is supposed to be what the bloggin's about, fella.

But ... yeah, I reckon I do.

[sheriff-silverstar]

Well, i'm here to help!

Hmf! Well, I've gotten things sorted now - hard to find all of these little keys and put them back into the right place, especially only usin' my mouth. (Some of them don't look right, but I sure ain't gonna ask Maybelle to help!)

Maybelle's my new secretary, she got hired after Petunia retired. She's a real technology whiz, said she wanted me to start up this 'bloggin'' thingamajigger, help get Appaloosa 'modernized' and all that. See, I dunno how well that's gonna work, but she's a real insistent little thing, so I told her I'd give it a shot, when I wasn't busy. Crime never naps, after all!

(Also, she might have a bit of a crush on you, internet-feller. She got all pissy when I was going to tell ya that, hence ... no more keys on this com-pu-ter thingy.)

[sheriff-silverstar]

Who is Maybelle?

IN BIG TROUBLE

[sheriff-silverstar]

well, i don't wear a coat, so, i'd just fly them over it, actually, sir!

I knew I liked you! See, we need more gentlemanly fellas in town, I've always said it! Welcome to Appaloosa, partner. You just lemme know if you need anythin', understand?

(Keep an eye out for Maybelle, though. She's reading over my shoulder and she seems to quite fancy y sldgkjdfkjjsda;lkAA;K

[sheriff-silverstar]

Well, howdy do, another follower! Howdy, partner!

See this here? "Nice" Stallion? We need more fellas like that in Appaloosa! Not these criminal-types. Nice! I bet he weeds his garden and always pays his taxes on time. And maybe even puts his coat down for a lady to step over, lest she get her hooves wet in a puddle.

Pleasure t'meetcha, son. Hope to seeya around town sometime soon.

[sheriff-silverstar]

Well ain't that a treat, a follower! He seems like a mighty -

Maybelle, what do I hit to make the screen change, again?

...

But it don't LOOK like a rodent!

Consarn machinery, all newfangled and - there we go!

Like I was sayin', this fella looks like a...

"Wanted"?

Well, don't that beat all.

(Maybelle, where's that "locate IP address" thinger?)

Pleasure t'meetcha ... "friend."
