The Baltimare group proceeds in their task of investigating a strange group of creatures, mostly Griffins, who seem to be involved in creature smuggling. Up on the Boulderfield,-Whinnysota line, the northern group settles in for a cold night along with their new friends and prisoners.
Soon to welcome our Swedish player and his character

I've been liking things so far. Pacing is only an issue so far as it's apparently difficult to get even two of our schedules to line up. It might cause things to drag out, with as many rooms as we'll have to search through, and if we manually declare each and every single action going forward. Story so far has made sense, so I'm not seeing an issue there.
I just assume Iron's inactivity is just scheduling, like with a lot of the other players. I imagine if he had an issue he'd raise it.
Also, might as well declare Silver's next action while I'm here:
Silver takes a couple of the jars of Changeling Honey for evidence, and turns to Mala. "Something you said just minute ago, you made it sound like rumors of something like this operation have been making rounds. How long have these rumors been around?"

Silver nods in turn. "As soon as my companion is ready, we should try to find them. If this is first thing we have found inside here, then I do not have high hopes for what has been done to captives elsewhere in building."
He looks over to the changeling, looking on how she is currently fairing.

Uh, change the last line of dialogue to be "deeper inside the building"
Mala nods, slowly, looking back at Silver
When Silver looks back to the Changeling, it's a dark black creature, difficult to make out its individual features. It has one big eye open, and though it's impossible to say exactly what the green sphere is looking at - it may as well be looking at everything in the room all at once - somehow, it has the air of staring unblinkingly directly at Silver

"She is eyewitness to what has happened here. She is valuable source of information as to who they have been bringing in, and perhaps with that information we can find those who have been sold off as slaves.
"As for attacking me, let us hope she is not that stupid. She has tasted what fighting me results in. If she tries to attack, she will only get hurt worse."

The creature interjects after Silver’s statement, in that kind of creepy multi-tonal echoey voice that is common for her race
“Typical pony...”
She sounds tired. Or otherwise “out of it”
Then Khoi herself looks at Silver with a sort of worried expression
“If that is your best lead...”

Unlike its position when they entered the room, the creature is unrestrained within the cage. It could move around and even come next to the edge, if only it were orientated. But it doesn’t get up. She lays there in her side. It’s difficult to read its expression. The one green eye is open, and a fang hangs out. It says nothing

"You've done enough tonight"
The words barely come out of her mouth, and she does not move from her position laying on her side. The eye has not blinked once, and it is impossible to tell whether she is staring Silver down, or is blind in that eye. She sounds tired, and her voice has an erie quality to it, owing to its quality of being delivered in two tones at once. But there is more than a little resentment in it, and skepticism towards any good will

Ah. I can't speak for the others, but I normally wait for signs that you're on to start posting. Anyways...
Silver levitates the health potion so it's right in front of the changeling's face. "Please?"

Her head moves ever so slightly, as if to orientate her field of vision, not that it's really easy to tell where she is looking.
"I'm not drinking your truth serum, or whatever that is. You're going to have to come in here yourself and force my mouth open"

Her thin lips pull back, and for the briefest of moments it looks as if she is smiling in acknowledgement of the joke. Then it recedes, and she picks her head up to lift more towards Silver. Her eyes, light blue-tinted green, can now be seen to have a lighter point in them that was not obvious before, and is directed towards Silver
"What is it you want, pony? Was there a 'friend' of yours you wanted back, or something?"
She does not take the potion, nor is it obvious that her magic or limbs would allow her to do so

I don’t want to direct your character or anything... but the Changeling’s injuries are of the non-lethal type, whereas Silver himself has like 12 HP of damage, and he’s not done fighting for the night

Okay...
She looks over at the potion, then to Silver, then back to the potion, and tries to turn from her side onto her recessed, greyhound-like belly. She succeeds only in getting her forelegs out from underneath her and propping her head up. She then presses a hoof to her head in evident pain, and it seems parts of the wall can be seen straight through her leg.
A green aura of light, and it looks like she is trying to grab the potion with her magic, but the aura fails, just as well since if she had wrestled harder and then failed she would have dropped the potion. She leans her head closer towards it

A blue telekinetic sheath forms around the potion, pulling the stopper off of it and assisting in lifting it to her lips.

Her head pulls back at Silver pushing the potion forward, and for a number of seconds she seems to be rejecting the potion. Then she opens her thin, long muzzle, grips part of the bottle with a long, snake-like tongue, and tries to avoid her saber-fangs pushing the glass away as she grabs the potion with her mouth, and starts to drink it

She drinks it, drinks it, places the glass aside...
Her eyes go wide, and start to glow almost, looking nearly like slightly dimmer and smaller versions of green traffic lights. The white point within the eyes is clearer now, and looks off to the wall, then back to Silver.
Instantly, she jumps up, back arched like a startled cat, looking at Silver. She levels her chipped horn towards him in a more or less combative posture. There is a grimace upon her face

She stands there, hooves spread apart, small chopped horn lowered, and almost barred fangs in what is pretty clearly a combat pose
“Not as well as I did earlier.” She says.
Her voice is slightly deep but unambiguously feminine, delivered in two tones as if by two separate voices delivered at once. The accent she spoke with when she took the mask of a pony is absent, an accent indeed that seemed to belong to a culture of ponykind Silver never before encountered. The whiter points of her eyes are fixated on Silver

"Yeah..." He rubs the back of his neck in a clear sign of guilt or embarrassment, oddly calm for the situation he's in at the moment. "...not my greatest moment. Again, I am sorry." He looks around for a moment before picking up a jar of the changeling honey/jelly/whatever it's called with his magic, and offering it to the changeling. "Here, are you hungry? I would not blame you if you were sick of even looking at this stuff after being forced to make it for so long, but it should still be fine for you to eat."

Her eyes, it rather the lighter spots, move over towards the levitated vial, and the growling expression disappears off her charred black face, until her whole expression comes changes from a growling dog to that of a dog fixated on a sandwich.
She watches it, then sallies forth towards the end of the cage. Green Magic’s envelops the vial, pulling it forward, hitting a bar with a high pitched “clink,” then turned and pulled in. Her hooves grab it, then she tries to pull it with her mouth, and she sits down bites on it until she finally pulls out the stopper. Her thin tongue enters the vial up and down like the tongue of an ant eater, allowing her to slowly pull out and swallow little bits of the pink jelly.

Silver looks actually kind of impressed at the dexterity and length of her tongue. If there was such a thing as tongue envy, it very well would be caused by this.
He lets her eat for a few moments before speaking up again. "Perhaps we could do our introductions again: my name is Silver Sword. Who are you?"

He gets to see the tongue in action a little while longer as it descends down into the vial.
She has placed the vial inside of one of the holes of her leg, so that she just holds her hoof up and the vial stays in place in her leg. She looks up to Silver from her position sitting, and says to him with less hostility than before
“My name is Arbeiter Zwölf Zweiundneunzig Von Lycidae und Sturmwind“

It looks like he has. Probably. Actually frankly he can’t remember well what she looked like, but it’s a griffin who is behaving like she met him before, so close enough.

“Probably aliens. Maybe we can retroactively get a warrant on them for illegal entry. I am skeptical as to how much they know. I don’t think we’ll have enough time to fully interrogate them before every other creature there becomes wise to us.”

"I figured we would not have the time. Perhaps there is a way to temporarily hold them for later questioning back at the place where ponies usually get interrogated on? The building itself was rather empty as far as I saw during my run in and one of them was awfully calm after seeing his two brethren get bucked."
He pauses for a bit.

She picks up a coat, still on the hanger. It’s a fine fur coat, and she examines the pattern on it, a set of stripes.
“I guess we could take them to a customs outpost. It’s their problem to begin with, really. But they should be able to hold them. Maybe they will come to before the end of the night and tell us something... but that’s kind of beside the point. I know why the building is empty.”

To answer Silver’s earlier question about Lycinia,
The creature looks up at Silver with wide eyes. Well, she always looks kind of like that, but her mouth closes, lips curled around fangs that hang out, and she has altogether a more serious expression than a moment before

He slips back into Ponish, working his jaw a little from speaking the foreign tongue. "I do not mean to assume, but from looks of things, but have been captured for while, now. Also looks like they have been forcing you to make jelly from captured ponies. What happened?"

>>116210
She nods, still with a look of almost concern. Then she says
“I was working in Baltimare, recently arrived and in one of those cheap nightclubs, minding my own business, when somepony found a body I left in a bathroom stall. Normally I would slip out through the front, perhaps after changing masks, but this time they stalked me. Jumped me. I wonder if they were planning to do that regardless because I made out with the wrong stallion. Anyways, they managed to subdue me. Put a ring on my horn.”
She looks away from Silver, pacing lightly across the small cell, and even whips her tail in evident annoyance at one point, the ragged thing having more in common with a rolled up cobweb than a horses tail so far as appearance goes, but in movement more like the later.

This doesn't exactly put him at ease, but he also considers that perhaps she doesn't always have the chance to check the vitals of ponies she's draining. He weighs his options as he poses one last question to her. "Say I let you free, what then? Do you continue gathering food? Try to return back home? Something else?"
