So! Who's up for a throwdown with three-quarters of a ton of angry pot roast?

Let me clarify: Thalestris' bull-dancing team, back in Crete, will be getting their actual bull sometime fairly soon. The process usually goes relatively smoothly, but canonically it's not unknown for a dancer to get killed in the course of capturing the bull. Not a big surprise, since we're talking about animals on the order of Spanish fighting bulls, only probably somewhat larger, definitely more long-horned, and very definitely stupider. (Canon. Seriously, they bred the bulls for slow wit among other things.) I'd like to have Thalestris wind up out back- or, in the event that we really want disaster, inside the Bar- as a result of trying to distract the bull from attacking one of the other dancers during his capture.

She'll have to get him calmed down and bring him back with her to Crete, but there's a catch: hurting him is a no-no. For her, and for anybody else who'd be involved. She'll make that as clear as she can to anybody who shows up so there's an IC reason not to just bring out a high powered rifle.

Anyone interested?

Korra has her Avatar powers of being good with animals, and the useful skills of earthbending and waterbending to contain it outside and heal if needed.

Ben could help also seeing as how he could wrestle the beast without fear of injury. Maybe a tag team with Korra? Which makes me wonder if Korra could earthbend him.

Very interested! But, er, I suspect Epimetheus may be overpowered for what you're after.

Not actually one of Epimetheus' powers, but a glorious image nonetheless.

:D?

Fluttershy has... a bit of a resume, where animals are concerned. She has:

Calmed a manticore that was pained by a thorn in its paw
Convinced an angered dragon to leave peacefully
Befriended a cat that seems to hate everypony else it's been seen with
Convinced a cockatrice to de-stone her friends and leave the area
Massaged a bear that seemed to be in considerable pain
Tamed Cerberus

And that's just what's happened on-screen in canon. Furthermore, there's reason to believe she has never caused injury when in her right mind. (Except maybe to changelings, but that hasn't millicanonically happened yet. Nor has the Cerberus thing, for that matter.)

I didn't even get past the second clause and Voodoo already volunteered.

I worry about this boy sometimes.

Howl can certainly help.

If William wasn't off in OOM land, I'd offer him, but he's occupied.

... I don't think I have any pups who could help, I'm just replying to let you know you've successfully songbombed me. Thanks ever so.
