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.

>>116892I know, but I couldn't have Mala's suggestions in the 50 post limit, so I had hoped that'd be a good substitute.
In any case, I don't have many more ideas on how to interact with any of the ponies currently, so I hope we're ready to move out.
>>116892"I suppose you could look at it that way. if you think about it, aren't all governments just organized gangs?"
>>116894He blinks
“You’re the one with the weapon here...”
>>116892Silver looks a little amused at Loputu. "We are not gang, so no. We are just good people doing right thing. It just so happens that right thing is stopping these griffins."
>>116896Loputu, who I’ve assumed this conversation was to
>>116897This vague, non-offensive platitude is better received by the diverse audience in the basement, with Loputu, Jubilosa, and Khoi nodding, and Sands shrugging
>>116898The older unicorn lets go of Loputu. "You feeling better, little one? Can you be strong for your family?"
>>116899“Y-yes. I can be strong”
He has a cutie mark of a fish, which oddly is a lighter shade than his coat
>>116900He pats the colt's shoulder. "You are strong colt." Silver points out his cutie mark. "I take it you are good at fishing?"
>>116898"Do you want your family to be safe?"
>>116902Was that remark intended for Blue Skies?“... Yes. You’re... not going to hurt them.... Right?”
>>116901“Yes. I fish out in the harbor. It’s not really good for fishing here, maybe on Locust Promontory. Sometimes I find a boat to go out on, or go to the Peninsula”
>>116903no that was to loptu"Of course im not. but these griffions are terrible bastards."
>>116903"Huh. I never was very good with fishing, myself. How about a fishing tip?"
>>116903“They seem pretty terrible to me”
>>116905“That would be great, if I can ever get out of here”
>>116906"Of course we will get you out of here. Do not worry about that."
>>116906"These griffions are monstrous slavers. where were you when they took you prisoner?"
>>116908“I was walking past the boat repair shop, along the shore, trying to walk back and maybe see if there was a spot along the shore to fish. Not that there is really much to catch by the shore but I had the extra time.I could see them chasing after a griffin who fell down after leaving some truck, got up, and tried to run away as they chased her with a machete, and she fell again. I’m not sure if they stabbed her or not. This was about dusk. I tried to jump down to the sea, but they saw me. I ran, but they flew after me. I got to a pier next door where there was a boat I was going to hide in, or under. But my rear leg got caught in a wire thats used to tie smaller boats. It cut into my leg and caused me to fall. They caught me...”
>>116907He nods
>>116909Silver's blood boils, listening to Loputu's story. "These griffins..."
He looks over to the leg wound Silver patched up. "I suppose that explains where you got that. You have to be very strong colt, indeed, to even be limping along after that."
>>116909Dark Star gently pets him nonthreateningly
"It's ok , boy. Doesn't that make you angry though? that they would just take you like that?"
>>116910He looks down at it
“It doesn’t hurt that bad”
>>116911“Yes, it does”
>>116912Silver smiles. "Proving my point."
>>116912Dark Star kneels down and looks him in the eyes
"You know i can relate to your situation. i was almost where you are now."
>>116914“How... how so?”
>>116913He lowers his head
“I’m just afraid my parents will be angry I did not come home...”
>>116912>>116913>>116914Iron lightly stomps the floor with one of his forehooves.
"Wrap it up, you two. The more time we spend here, the more time they will notice something is amiss and reinforce. You two can have all the time in the world to have a chat with the colt after we take down the ones that dare use him as a tool."
>>116915"I'll tell you the story after we Finish this. but rest assured its....painful. tell me,colt. Down you know how to use a weapon?"
>>116917“No... my older brother does, but I do not”
>>116915"Angry? After they are told what had happened, they will just be happy to see you again."
Silver gets up, and looks to his companions. "Iron is right, however. We have been idle long enough. We need to move out."
>>116918"Alright just stay safe then."
>>116919>>116916"Lets roast some turkey."
>>116920Iron nods.
>>116921I have no snoot and I must neigh
Okay, where is the party going now?
>>116921*Angry Whinnying*
>>116923The stairs Mala pointed to, where it should lead to more prisoners.
That way, we eliminate any possible leverage and maybe tear this building down.
Going through that door leads into a small hallway, the same one Iron and midnight saw earlier. Off to the right leads back into the access tunnel, off to the left are two rooms, and there is the stairwell kind of near the center
>>116925Midnight quickly follows after him.
"Let us hope this mission is quick and clean."
>>116926Midnight scurries along. Things would probably be nicer for her if everyone
would just shut the fuck up >>116925>>116920>>116926>>116919Iron points to the left side to the rest.
"Let us check for prisoners over at the left side. Right side is where the machine thing that gave light and heat."
>>116919 >>116928Obviously, he goes there, expecting the rest to follow, opening up the closest door relative to his position.
Silver goes with the group, wherever they decide to go.
>>116928>>116930>>116927Dark star follows behind sands
>>116929>>116931>>116930Over to the left are two rooms on the right side of the hallway. Each has a faded black metal sign over the doorway with old white lettering that is chipping away. The closer one says "records," the further away one says "morgue"
>>116932"Records might be promising. Unless it is records of when this was Home for Wayward Mares. Or even before that."
>>116932>>116933"I guess there is only one way to know."
Midnight trots over and enters the room with the records sign.
>>116932>>116934>>116933Iron nods at Silver's comment, mimicking Midnight's actions of apporaching said door and attempting to open it.
>>116933>>116935>>116934Dark Star points his pistols at the "Records" Door
>>116933Skies shakes her head
"I think this whole area was sectioned off by the city after they took it over from the nuns... They didn't want to pay for heating all of this area"
>>116934>>116935>>116936They enter the room. It's... not entirely as advertised. There are a couple cardboard boxes. A Zebrican style shield. Several other items over in the corner. The room is not quite perfectly rectangular, as there are small walls that section off nooks, and one set of metal shelves that remains is in the center of the room, and has some items on it
>>116937Midnight steps over and carefully opens one of the boxes, using her knife if it's needed.
>>116937Silver looks at the items on the metal shelves.
>>116937Iron's brow rises, deciding to rummage the other items in the corner, also studying the zebra shield as he moves.
