Was this a… a horse? Unicorn horse? Well Monster has certainly seen stranger in his day. …How this uni-zebra-horse (yeah let’s go with that) can’t see that he fits that description though is beyond him.
“Depends, I’ve never tried to stretch my legs before. And I dooon’t think I’ll start now.” Monster smirked lightly, perhaps he was familiar with another Sonic. “You looking for someone?”

“Oh, hi Son….uh….hey mister? Do you happen to see a blue hedgehog around here? Red shoes, green eyes, long flexible arms and legs?”

“Oh, it isn’t? Prove it.” Coin said simply.
“Prove it?” Monster was once again, taken aback by the sudden demand from this stranger. “I don’t even know your name, let alone how trustworthy you are with information like that.” With a small huff, Monster slicked his quills back aimlessly.
“Why don’t we start at the beginning?” The werehog stuck out his big old hand for a handshake. “Hi. I’m Monster. And you are?”

“Oh. Sorry. My manners must off today. Uh…I’m Coinclink. Friends call me Coin.” Coin said, shaking So- I mean, Monster’s huge hand.
With a firm handshake Monster smiled and let Coin have his hoof back. “Coin, huh? Well I’m not one to judge names!” He smirked and chuckled lightly. “Where you from? Don’t look like any Mobian I’ve ever seen.”

Coin scoffed at the mention of him being a Mobian. “Good sir! I am no Mobian! I am an Equestria! It is the world I came from and lived in!” Coin said in a parody of a fancy voice.
“Equestria, huh? Must be far away, I’ve never heard of a place full or horses-” Monster’s expression defaulted to a blank stare at the realization. “Equestria. Like Equines. You literally come from Horse Land.”

“Well…Magic Horse Land. But yes.” Coin said in a correcting tone.
Monster smirked lightly, “Magic Horse Land, gotcha.” Rubbing his nose he looked over the horse named Coin. “So how’d you make your way to lil’ ol’ me then?”

“Magic portal, man. It opened and it dropped here. Went looking for you to have some fun.”
“Now that’s thinking with portals!” Monster smiled, “Heh, well what’s your idea of fun?”

“Cartoony antics. And from what I heard, you have an ability that allows such fun.”
“Antics huh?” Monster gave him an odd look, having an idea of the ability in question. “The arms you mean? I, guess it’s pretty cartoony…”

“Oh, come on. You at least thought about doing a few harmless pranks with your stretchy arms?”
At the word ‘prank’, Monster caught a sly smile making it’s way onto his face, now suddenly interested. “I’m like me some pranks now and then, whatcha got in mind, Coin?”

“Simple. At night…you hang off a roof or ledge. I distract a person…and you just touch them with your long arms. But since you’ll be up top, you’ll be hard to see.”
Monster smirked and placed a claw to his chin in contemplation. “You know that could totally work! Just hope it’s someone who can take a jok-” Monster’s face flashed with a sudden realization, then a hesitant step back. “Not tonight though, right?”

“Uh…why do you ask? Got somewhere to be?” Coin asked.
“Uh yeaah!” Monster wrung his hands together in clear nervous agitation. “I need to go to… to… the hardware store! And.. buy… a can opener!” Of all the bad excuses made off the top of his head, this may be in the top five.

Coin’s not buying it. So he decided to cast a spell to monitor Monster’s heartbeat. “Okay, fess up. Why are you worrying about this particular night?”
“Pffff worried? I’m not- I’m not worried what makes you say that?” Monster’s heartbeat betrays him though. “It’s definitely nothing you need to know now if you’ll excuse me can openers don’t buy themselves eh heee.”

“Wait up! I know your hiding something. Tell me.”
“Yeah uh, in the immortal words of a three year old: You can’t make me, nya nyah.” Monster folded his arms obstinately, hoping for an opportunity to get where he can’t harm anyone tonight.

“Look, if your thinking we are going to hurt people? Your dead wrong. It’s just harmless scares. Nothing dangerous.”
“I didn’t say WE would, but I-” Monster stopped himself from finishing the sentence, then grew cold as he looked to the sky, “I can’t stay.”

“…..Then let me come with you.”
“What?!” Monster couldn’t have hoped to hide his shock at such a statement, “Nope, nuh uh, no way! Too risky! You could get hurt!”

“Do you think I can’t defend myself? Is that it? Look. Either I’m coming with you, or I MAKE you let me come wit you.”
“That’s not what I’m saying! And I don’t have any more time to argue so I’m getting out of here-!” Monster winces in pain before recovering slightly and trying to get away in a panic.
