I am in need of some assistance...

I have found a rather odd key in my coat pocket that I've been informed is for some form of mechanical horse.

Which... I'm afraid I have no experience riding. [He feels so awkward having to actively think these questions out to people.] Does anyone know of how to use these devices and, if so, might you be able to give me a short lesson?

...Well, yeah, I guess you have a point, there. Anyone offer any help yet?

[combattente_auditore]

A couple of people so far have attempted to figure out just what it might be exactly.

[fuckingibuki]

So that's a no, then.

[combattente_auditore]

More or less.

[fuckingibuki]

Well, hope you like walking. 'Cause your legs are probably the most reliable mode of transportation you're ever gonna get.

[combattente_auditore]

I am a good walker. [He's thrumming quiet amusement.] Though I would prefer a horse for speed.

[fuckingibuki]

Life's tough. Can't always get what you want.

[Isn't he such a pleasant conversation partner?]

[Can you feel that thrum of amusement?]

What a cynical man you are.

[fuckingibuki]

[He might. Which is kind of rude, but then that's nothing new for Ibuki. Unfortunately.]

Not really? I'm just a realist more than anything. I don't know, I guess if you get too hopeful or wishful then you could just get carried away and then life will definitely disappoint you when things don't turn out the way you'd like. It's better to keep your expectations kind of low.

And somehow this imparting of wisdom is what has followed on my attempting to learn how to operate this machine.
