Welcome back to the Latest Thread of Occupied Equestria
Onyx, Spark and Brie settle down for the night in a cabin in the woods along with a set of recently rescued ponies, saved from Changeling cocoons, as well as the changelings who sought to take them captive, who are themselves locked away as captives.
In Baltimare, Silver, Dark Star, Iron, and now Midnight Lily do their last preparations before seeking to take on a creature smuggling operation in a port-side neighborhood

"Well, 'Iron,' there is no Black Cauldron looking for you around here"
Then, a tap on his shoulder

When dark Star enters the store, it's kind of fancy. Bluish-violet walls, and weapons in glass display cases. Dark Star has a decent choice of weaponry, including of the more "medieval" style as it seems to be subject to fewer government regulations than firearms, and thus still popular and widely available

Skies keeps the smile on her face, then breaks away eye contact from Midnight, and starts to speak. As she speaks, the smile fades away, and is replaced slowly with more spite
"The Democrats think that the course of history is tending towards more... Equality. Equalization as countries become bigger and the masses richer. The Markists go a few steps further, and believe that Equality is not merely a tendency but the teleology of history itself... that nations, cultures, classes, and racial distinctions will be burned away as the locomotive of history steams on towards its end... The Markists also believe that the old order - the Nationalists, the Aristocrats, the Moneyed... will not go gently into the night, but will fight back with all force and fury..."
Skies goes back to the both, and lays down on her stomach, with her left hooves sticking over the edge
"I hate to be the villains in someone else's play, but if that is what is left to me... No. I believe, as all who take the time of day to think about things do, that there is an order inherent in Nature. A natural hierarchy. And that anything contrary to this natural order is neither functional nor beautiful. And that societies and individuals are no more exempt from this universal law than are the winds, rains, the Sun and the soil. But just like all of those things, good governance requires more than a little tending by ponies on the best of days..."
>>111002
Um... they are silent?

Iron, feeling the poke, nods at the two of them, then walks away to give them space.
He decides to walk to a nearby table, hoping the poker will follow.

Dawson has awoken and is in threat response mode, standing on all fours and looking around. Rose has awoken and seems very fatigued. Red Wine is twitching but not up. Ruby is coming over to Dawson and Rose, happy the two are up
>>111004
Skies is almost confused
>>111005
They go over. Yes, it is indeed Black Cauldron
"Who is he? The Unicorn?"

Onyx steps over and gently nudges Red Wine
"Any serious injuries I need to help tend to? Or just your prides?"
If Blue Skies is almost confused Midnight IS confused.
"I wasn't aware there was so much behind you being here. My answer feels almost lacking now..."

“Uh... okay”
She is a zebra who is almost as big as a stallion (but clearly smaller than Silver) with a black lower jaw
>>111008
“Uh... Hi associate of Iron”
She waves, then awkwardly extends a hoof after a moment, as if uncertain she wanted to do so at first
>>111010
“A big order, you say?” She says, smiling
“I think I might be able to do it”

The big olden unicorn matches her hoofshake alongside a friendly smile. "It is nice to meet you, Cauldron. Iron has told me bit about you."

Red Wine is not awoken yet, but he starts to move
Dawson
“Pride? I was drained by a Changeling and cocooned! They even cut my foreleg... it already seems to be bandaged though...”
Rose:
“I think I’m color blind”

Ok, the price amped up slightly, Silver, since I'm a dunce. Now the price is 3650 bits on your part. Will that change your decision to buy the potions?

"That you were kind, generous, smart, that he could trust and rely upon you completely, that you have charm and grace, that you were beautiful beyond words...that your cooking is amazing." He maintains his smile. "Really, he made you seem like you were most greatest, most important mare in his entire life. I was kind of jealous."
>>111018
No, just means Silver'll be that much farther from his spending goals.
*secretly hopes that there will be money from this job, or that Iron wille ventually pay Silver back*

Iron retells the order: 6 Potions of Cure Moderate Wounds (1800 GP), 6 Potions of Reduce Person (Pony) (1500 GP), 6 Potions of Pass Without Trace (300 GP), 6 Potions of Invisibility (1800 GP) and 4 Cure Light Wounds (200 GP)
"Take 2200 bits from the bit pouch I left on the table of your home, the later Silver can pay up, which is 3350 bits."
>>111022
While he did have the mentality of being a lot more outgoing and confident after his failures, he can't help but blush like he does as Silver retells what he said about her.
"Whenever you are ready, Silver."

Skies:
“What others? You mean the other volunteers? Well, there’s Dark Star. He can be sweet. When he wants to be. He’s kind of racist. There’s Silver Sword. He’s sweet. Kind of doesn’t understand boundaries though. Then there’s Iron. He’s a bratty teenager who was probably a very big fish in his little pond back where he came from”
>>111022
“D’aww.... he said all of that?”
She seems happy, and even raises her tail in an almost tail-wag
Skies would tell something if she were there. I guess since she isn’t, I shouldn’t bother myself with it
>>111023
“Damn... that’s a hell of an order”
She seems a little daunted
>>111021
Ruby:
“I’ve been here”
Dawson speaks to Rose
“Are you okay, sweetie?” He caresses her hair
“Look at those bastards did to you”
Dawson asks Onyx:
“Are they gone?”

Iron feels a bit worried, with the little blush on his cheeks still there, but puts a smile for her.
"You have time. If you need any help with menial stuff, I am there."
Her happy demeanor from Silver's input only makes his heart flutter.
(What a view~)

Silver nods. "Every bit of it. Sounded like you were extra special to him, and he was little shy and trying to find way to say it all. He also talked lot about how you are best potionmaker in city. I have not seen better salespony routine in my life. Even gave me potion he bought from you as 'free sample' to prove its quality."
I'd like to hear it, just for fun.

While Iron knows Silver's doing a favor, he can't help but feel quite embarrassed from basically him spouting out all the things Iron said about her without warning, only reddening his cheeks even further, putting to show his unwanted chaste and shy demeanor.
(I bet my father would have done the same simply to get me like this.)

“Oh, okay. I’ll try to find some of these ingredients tomorrow. They can be hard to locate. It’s probably a good thing you Dane to me since a batch like that is sure to raise some eyebrows”
>>111027
She tilts her head. And one ear comes down
“Huh”
I can do any of that shit better than that second-rate stripped import, damn it! I’m graceful, pretty, smart..... ....” *hangs her head, and lays it on the floor*

Dawson
“THEY’RE STILL HERE?!”
Rose
“Changelings?! Where?” She looks dazed, but has her eyes wide and is looking around
Red Wine, likewise looks around, and leans over and gets up
Ruby: “Ah!”
Wesley and Kerr, over by the fire, look over in frightened expressions at all of the commotion

Sense Motive: Silver decides to that it's a good idea to get a feel for what she's confused about before asking her directly.
Aww...poor alternate tiemline Skies. We still love you, in all your greatness.

"It is a simple question, if the mission hits the fan, which pony should I look to for orders?"
Rock:
Onyx slaps his face with a hoof
"Yes, they're hear. No they're no gonna hurt you. Probably because I'd dismember them before they could at this point."

Just a couple doubts as to whether the affection is sweet or burdensome, nothing serious
*Pegasus is hugged*
“I may not be able to cook...” *sniff* “or be very kind or generous... or particularly trustworthy.., but I’m pretty than a zebra, damn it!

“I’m that one that knows what she is doing and have access to the best doctors. If that’s what you want, listen to me.”
>>111033
Dawson:
“But why are they here? Where are they? Is is those two... little colts there?”
He points at Kerr and Wesley, who have wide eyes as they are unsettled

"He made it sound like he is trying to bring you more business, give you access to better life. I think it is rather sweet. He can be big softy once you get past his stoic, native appearance."
The prettiest.
>>111031
"It will have to be what it will have to be. I understand time constraints. Sure."
>>111031
Never! >:D
Also, he should probably mention the adjusted price to Silver.

Iron's embarassment cannot be understated as he covers his face to maybe hide the immense blush on his cheeks from the pony he should've assumed would want to act as a wingpony.
"Good!" he stammers out. "By the way, I did the math wrong. It is actually 3350 bits total on your end."
EUGEH! You big meanie! D:<

“That, we can do for you. Is there any particular type of bow you would prefer? A short bow, a longbow. Anything magical, perhaps? Yew or steel?”

>despite its strength and density, Yew has an incredibly low and disproportionate modulus of elasticity at only 1,320,000 lbf/in2 (9,100 MPa). What this means is that the wood is extremely flexible, yet strong, making it ideally suited for use in archery bows. In fact, Yew was the wood of choice for English longbows in medieval warfare.
