WME Name: Galene
Gossip:

One day while minding her own business and finding grazing a little bit further from the herd, Galene spotted a bright red coat heading in her direction. She figured it was one of her other herd members, KC, or the new “orphan” foal Maeve that the previous herd leader had “found”. But this Equid stripes were different from the ones she had known. She continued minding her own business while sneaking forward to get within earshot of wherever the mare’s destination was. To her surprise, Vincent came out from the trees to greet the stranger. “How is our newest foal doing? Is she ok?” The mare asked him immediately. He reached her and nuzzled her neck. Galene gasped, who was this? This certainly wasn’t Vincent’s mate, Eevee, a bright buckskin. So that’s where this orphan foal (who eerily resembles another herd member; KC) came from? Galene tried to fit the puzzle together. Wait, she saw this mare before in another herd, with another stallion. Were they both cheating on their mates with each other? Secret love with several love children?! (Affair children: KC, Maeve, Merlin, and Morgana) - Galene pondered over this tea and she munched on her afternoon snack in the shadows on the trees around them. Did the other herd members know? What about Charnie, the mother of this mare, did she know the new foal and KC in her herd were her grand-foals?! Maybe she didn’t. Maybe nobody knew and if they did it would have major fallout. She should probably keep this to herself, right?

WME Name: Maeve
Gossip:

Every Thursday at 2pm, Maeve plops herself in the shade of her favorite tree; with the bark as her backdrop and the leaflitter hiding her socks, she becomes almost invisible. The reason for it being her favorite tree? Every Thursday at 2:30pm, the cliquey group of mares from a nearby herd showed up nearby with the hottest tea; whether it be dissing someone's new mane-do or discussing their latest beaus. Her favorite sip of tea that she overheard this way was their discussion of a stallion named Galileo from her own herd; that they'd caught him painting on his markings with berry juice!

WME Name: Recluse
Gossip:

Overhearing others' business isn't something Recluse ever means to do. She's actually usually by herself, collecting trinkets and flowers and hiding in a secluded area amongst all the riff raff. One of those spots is right outside the fence of Snakehead Stables, where she enjoys watching the trotters interact off in the distance. But one day, she overheard something strange... yet familiar. Her name was Sahara, an interestingly marked trotter who always wore an exasperated expression. She was talking to Scylla (another Mountain Glade WME), with wide eyes and a story that she insisted wasn't just a dream.
Dragons and war fed her dialogue, how her supposed mother carried on expanding the "Sandwings" territory despite her wishes, and Sahara's magic powers were being used for evil. She is now a horse trying to find others who share these memories. Scylla however just passed it off as a dream- however interesting it may have been.
But Recluse isn't so sure. Sahara mentioned another dragon whose name was actually Recluse- a pale brown Sandwing named after the deadly spider- matching the equid's physical appearance and demeanor exactly like the supposed dragon- just with no wings horns and fire.
Recluse does not know this trotter, but perhaps she could figure it out. The next time Sahara is on this side of the ranch, she may confront her. But for now, Recluse is glad she can tell someone else about this.

So you want some gossip? Ohhhh girl you've come to the right place...

Bergamot is a girl's girl. Friendly, chatty, charismatic. The universe quite literally serves her the hottest tea every day of the year- she never has a dry mouth. She seems possessed by this... strange ability where everyone is hauntingly compelled to share their problems to her. Forget being a fly on the wall - she shows up and the drama brings itself to her! Maybe it's because she's such a good listener? Are you a good listener? Lets find out..

Tom is a really famous and popular equine around these parts- he is well known and just went through some drama in the press. Surprised you haven't heard about it yet.. The barn is quite small and rumors like this spread like wild fire. Back to it- It was found out he was using some of his closest friends and abusing their power. He has maintained his fame this whole time, but his secrets were almost released officially; you could say he won this drama battle, but he didnt win the war. Just as the rumors were settling.. BAM. He crafted a massive and messy breakup with a mare no one knew about. Now you may be thinking - can I trust Miss Berg? Is this all true? - I happen to be pretty close friends with this mysterious mare so I have all the tea TMZ couldn't find.

Cheating, lying, manipulating, you name it. He probably has some mule foals we dont know about. Considering it was the messiest breakup this side of the pasture- Are you sure you havent heard of any of this yet?? Do you live under a rock? Any who.. they've been together for years, but he never went public to "protect his image..." (aka) code for being able to sleep around if ya ask me! And here I found out he broke it off right after proposing! At some point in the relationship, he met a new mare at one of the local shows. You know how that turns out huh? As long as the girlfriend doesnt find out about an easy, quick fling, it'll be okay... He had no regard for his main mare! His soon to be mate! You better believe she was upset, but the best thing she ever did was just let him go.

But the unofficial rumor is the new mare heard some whispers from the equines that hes cheating on her too! Next thing you know, he shows up in his ex-mate's stall accusing her of spreading that rumor! UGH, those donkeys !! There was so much squealing and braying all night the farm hand finally came out and stuck that sorry donkey in the broodmare barn. Those lovely, lovely, ladies sure gave him trouble for interrupting their peace- ooh I wouldn't even mess with them!

Tom is in the dog house for real. The farmer's daughter's even told her favorite goat, Billy, "Daddy says he won't get to show Tom this weekend.." Ohhh friend, Tom has no idea whats coming for him. There's whispers he'll be gelded! Now thats a good dose of karma for Tom the donkey.

Don't go asking me for receipts, I can't leak my sources. But don't be too shocked if the vet stops by tomorrow...

WME Name: Psyche
Gossip:
Psyche's a wild equid, taken to roaming the mountains and woods with her herd. but she also likes to wander off alone, and on one of these adventures she encountered a human stable. she knows better than to get involved with humans, but there is this very handsome equid who happens to live there. and maybe she keeps coming back just to see him. maybe. is it creepy to be watching him from the shadows of the woods? probably. Psyche doesn't think so.
on her most recent visit to the stables, she was disappointed to see that the handsome quid, Remus, wasn't in the pasture. She was turning to leave when she thought she heard one of the other horses say his name. She slunk closer to the fence, where a mare was telling a stallion something she had heard from another mare, who had heard it from the gelding in the stall next to Remus's.
apparently, Remus was a hopeless romantic! this wouldn't be such ground-shaking news to any other horse, but Psyche is a hopeless romantic too, and oh it gives her hope that he might notice her in these woods one day! and besides, it's fun news too, because Remus, while a shameless flirt, presents himself as someone above the triviality of love. he says he's too good for it - but he composes sappy love poems! Remus, who condemned poetry and romance as beneath an equid of his stature, secretly loves it.
And oh how Psyche hopes to hear one of those poems some day. She didn't hear anymore because she realized the strange stallion was staring directly at her, despite the shade hiding her in the tree line, and she ran off, unwilling to get on the bad side of such a huge horse.

WME Name: Mouse
Gossip:
Mouse was gossiping about the recent interesting events with the gulls and she heard the most outrageous rumor that one of her herd mates has been going down the mountain towards human settlements, to eat trash from human trash cans!! She believed her bird buddies immediately as gulls are such honest creatures, really - especially when they're furious a huge horse is stealing their trash. Horrible, eww, what, WHO would do that?! All equids from her herd seemed like such accomplished and respectable equids, and to do this?! Mouse could not sleep for several days trying to figure out who it is, but her hard detective work was fruitless because every member of the herd had the time to slip away long enough to make the trip down and back. She cant follow them without, well, being a creepy stalker, but her curiocity is murdering her. Who is it?.. Is it Dorian, or Ginger?! It cant possibly be Rumpelstiltskin, the herd leader?! Mouse's been sniffing at her herd members pryingly and giving them the most awkward side eyes ever since she heard that rumor.
This rumor might or might not be true... depends on which equid could be the one, and whether they hide it out of shame or, say, a pure practical hoarding of those dumped boxes of scrumptious old vegetables all to themselves... hmmm...

WME Name: Assam (a type of black tea from India)
Gossip:

Ohhh BABY are you ready for some hot goss? I’m absolutely B U R S T I N G at the seams, I need to tell someone. Anyone. And you’ll do just fine.

Okay so. Let’s set the scene. I’m me, fabulous Assam: wander, dealer of stories, and dare I say - devastatingly beautiful. I travel here and there, I talk to various herds, and it’s impressive what will be told to a kind stranger simply passing though.

I crossed paths with Janus and his herd while on a stroll though those mountains. His friend Wilde - big talker that one, I love her - dishes alllll about him much to his dismay. Usual things, embarrassing stories, until one made my ears perk up and my skin twitch with excitement. He used to be domesticated, but his barn burnt down in a strange accident. He hasn’t seen his old people since (and here Wilde interjects he let kids decorate him with pink ribbons). Someone else HAS to know something about that incident, and I swore on the bones of my ancestors I’d find out one day.

No leads and a few weeks later, I pass by a quaint little farm. I don’t find domestic equids of much interest, their stories are almost always how they didn’t get enough oats with their breakfast. Yawn. This time though, one in particular caught my attention. He stuck to the shadows, his head hung heavy with some sort of burden, and he never shot me curious glances (which the others did). Being the diligent little investigator I am, I snuck in quiet as a field mouse at night. I hear the guy talking in his sleep.
‘I’m so sorry…I-I didn’t mean to’
‘The heater, I got scared and - no…I’m sorry I’m sorry I’m-’
‘…the smoke. The rubble, I saw you and I-I ran away.’
I may have gotten chased out by an angry mare, but man was that WORTH. IT. This guy set Janus’ old home on fire? And didn’t even bother lending a hoof to escape?? Bonus, I didn’t even need to talk to him, his nightmares told me plenty.

It’s not my place to tell them about each other, but that doesn’t mean I can’t do a little instigating. Maybe I’ll find a way to get Janus to come down this side of the mountain, even though it’s a long way from his territory. Ohhh I feel the tingling of a plan coming on hehehehhe

WME Name: Tina
Gossip: okay so girl loves to observe and wow, has there been drama at this one herd! So basically it’s known that Akira is very mischievous but girl has been stirring it up! She lives in the same herd as her dad and met this one guy Calcifer who’s apart of another herd and now they’ve been mates for yeeeaaaars! So as one might expect they had a kid together, very cute little Mako but theeeennn it’s not well known so keep this under wraps but Akira went off and got with this other guy, Viserion (who can blame her, he’s gorgeous) while her first kid was living with her dad. Low and behold girl gets pregnant and has Jorah, very cute kid also very undeniably Akira’s. Some rumours have been circulating that Calcifer got pissed but didn’t want to break up (dedicated much) but tensions might be higher now seeing as Akira’s baby daddy has moved to her herd AND Mako made the move too… poor Calcifer, he hasn’t been heard from in years and it breaks my heart!
