Undertoe is still holding the lever action
Khoi has a gun, but it's burned. Looks like a loss
Jubilosa has the third rifle
White Sands has SIlver's own rifle

He would see Drie, the Lieutenant, getting up, looking like a giant, lanky, frozen and mummified deer corpse. He would see Brie fighting Zu Lang, who likewise looks like a giant, skinny stallion corpse with black, oily eyes. He would see concerned drones fleeing, and keeping their distance, while one continues to shoot at the alleged Owlbear monster

He smiles. He almost has a blush

Iron sighs, blood-stained coat on himself. "Look, if you are caught with a gun, the police may panic," he explains "so it is better for me to take it because I am practically no threat."

Yes. He nips the edge of Brie's legs and shoulder. It's not a great contact, and Brie is lucky to get the shorter fang, but there is some force to the bite. Brie takes 4 damage

Iron blinks softly. "I am sorry, but I think the drug is wearing off, so I must decline your request unless you want a dead pony to carry instead," he offers to Silver. "I will entrust you with my share until I can come to fetch it at that tavern you stay at, if that is alright with you."

Iron stops as soon as he was about to go out the door, before turning back towards the hallyway to begin with and finally to Sands. "...on second thought," he starts off in a whisper only Sands could hear "I do not even trust the old pony..." With that, he does a big 180 and goes back in a wobble towards Silver's last known location. "We will have to hide the guns for the time being, so be sure to be on the lookout."

Maakie is more or less naked without the vest, though he has a tie, which has nothing in it. His hat fell off
He takes a ragged breath, and looks back over to Undertoe
"How could you? I thought you-"
She shuts him up by kicking him. Kicking him in a vulnerable area
"Ugh!"

He pulls his rear limbs together as he winces in pain. It's a few seconds, but he responds to Silver
"I was not born into wealth or power. Just the chick of a simple hatter, well beneath the wealthy of the wealthiest city on the planet. I had to work to get where I am... where I was. Hard. I did my military service with the Republican Navy. I fought in skirmishes against pirates. I distinguished myself and achieved the rank of officer without an aristocratic title. I worked in entrepôt and found I had a knack for making deals, and got to work with ship captains from Hippogriffia to Nimbusia to Olenia. You want to criticize my methods? Dealing in smuggling, trafficking? I did nothing the wealthiest merchants didn't do. They smuggle and step on those beneath them, who were not clever and lucky enough. But I made my own luck. I did nothing they did not do, at least until I came to Equestria. Your land of Harmony. That's when I started to learn from the Equestrians. You say you want to welcome in creatures from all realms, and extend friendship to them. But when they come they are poor, and like so many sheep for fleecing. So your aristocrats and industrialists exploit them. I participated in this, yes, but it is little different. I play the same game as them. I supported Maarists? What of the Princesses, who ignored ships filled with immigrants, and who let those without papers live and work in Equestria - paying back their smugglers, and making more want to come here. Did they not help the process? Did they not bring in so many more to become victims to gangs, to crowded factories, to tenements, gangs and religious groups the public finds unsavory?
I did not ask to be born into this world, which plays this game. Do not blame me for playing it well."

"Maybe in a few ways, but it's the same in principle. Do what you can to get ahead."
Silver checks the vest, and has some results, mostly in the inner pockets:
A closed paper note
A somewhat ornate derringer pistol
A Nova Griffonian Passport
Bullets to his Magnum - 6
New Mareland Currency - Bits: 150
Imperial Currency - Crowns: 20
Two cigars
A ring
A dry-cleaners ticket
A flip lighter, looks golden
A Kris (Maarite) Dagger
A Golden Stopwatch

On the wall, there is the garbage chute

There is one free floating black and white photograph. A griffin, female, with a hat topped with a flower carries an umbrella.
But the envelope shows something different. A Pony shakes hooves with a different pony, both in suits. Two cars meet, showing more ponies. Another photographs shows a pink mare doing something with a stallion. Another one shows the same pink mare and the same stallion.... well, it shows them doing things together
>>125146
He starts to light up, and smile
"What do you mean by 'last of this particular meal'?"

Brie assess the situation and decides he doesn't like the odds, given what he's seen. I assume that the Lwetiko (lang wetiko) has been attacked by others by this point?
>>125164
No, he has not been. They have instead attacked a different Wetiko and successfully killed it with fire, although not before it was able to bite and swipe at Onyx, hurting him
Zu Lang is bleeding from several wounds and looks pretty wounded, but he's not quite out yet.
It's Brie's turn, and he may either attack or disengage

Onyx stabs into the creature in what would be, were this a pony, his barrel. He slices upwards, meeting two wounds where brie had stabbed him. Somethat that resembles a blue internal organ pokes out, and there is red-purple blood - but not much, as it has a quality more akin to frozen meet. Zu Lang lets out a shriek that sounds like a pony one the other side of a valley - a distant, echoing quality.
It collapses, evidently dead... er

This is probably a good idea
Brie cuts down into thick, leathery flesh, but cuts it off despite the increased resistance. The head is much larger than a normal head, and the eyes are perhaps not "healed," but it's as if the substance is self-sealing from the wound

The wind picked up long ago, but now a very light snow starts to fall, blown around in the wind.
The Owlbear turns around, to start to leave. Drie's guard has flown away, leaving behind his carbine. The rifle is all that remains of a guard previously perched on the edge of the pit.
But then....
From out of the Pit, a head pokes up. Two black eyes on a frosted, black and purple chitin head. It's a changleing, albeit a giant one with discolored purplish chitin, and something in the creature's proportions makes it look more like a praying mantis than a Changeling drone.
"Major?"
It calls out, with an echoing voice, that sounds distant, as if it had been carried on the wind

Looking into the pit, there's the creature. It's a Changeling drone alright, but much larger, even if its legs are no wider. It's eyes are black, and its chitin distorted a purple color. But it is alive, pressing, trying to get up, a half-cut wing twitching

Iron really can't tell very much about these items, either what they are or how valuable they are.
But Iron can discern two things. Ponies only put things in safes either because it's something they have that they are afraid of being stolen, or it's some secret they must hide that they cannot destroy. Either way, it means it must be valuable, at least to someone. But Iron also knows that while an item may be valuable to someone, it can only be valuable to Iron if he can figure out how to use it.

Drones haven't answered Brie's question yet, but a couple land down, far away. One particular one dives down and comes kind of close to Brie. It's Drie's guard and medic, who is trying to recover his carbine, which he dropped.

It is made of cotton, seems like it would be reasonably warm in cold weather, and offers zero armored protection. It’s it seems like it would fit on Iron, but is intended to be loose on the wearer. It will cover down to approximately a few inches above Iron’s knee, and over everything from Iron’s shoulder to tail. A mare might be able to wear it, though it would be obviously oversized

This is doable, it looks almost like a towel. The papers have to be bent and crinkled to make this happen, unless they are carefully rolled, or if the robe is folded in a rectangle. The robe is pretty large when rolled or filed up

The argument seems to be over legal jurisdiction, and what crimes if any he could be charged with. Another two cultists listen intently. The cultist is very insistent that he hasn't been caught doing anything actually illegal, and that of course an Imperial has no jurisdiction over him.
An upset griffin pushes through the crowd to come over to curse at him. This is ended swiftly when Johann pulls a gun on her, and levels it right at her head. "What was that about the Imperial Inquisition?"

Silver first addresses the captured cultists.

Iron hums before shaking his head.
"I do not seem that convinced you know the layout, considering you have not evacuated yet," he informs "since right now the poh-lee-ce is right above us, cuffing anypony that even resembles a cultist."
He puts on a confident look. "I can get scot free, but you..." he cranes his head from side to side tentatively "...might be seen as cultists and either throw you in a nicer metal cage or make you an example to the public."
With that explanation set, Iron turns to the two gnolls. "So if I even want to think about getting you two out, I need something more than promises."

She pulls against the bars, rattling them
"I can promise you if you don't let us out I'll tear you to pieces!"
The male is a bit more pleading
"We were locked in here. We'll make it worth your while if you just let us out"

The female seems to be very much forthright in her expression of her opinion that she could rip a pony to pieces. She also seems to be generally in a bad mood.
The male is a bit fuzzier. He seems afraid, very much wants to get out of there, and does not seem to have any immediate motive to harm Iron. However, he doesn't look like he could restrain the female, nor does he seem entirely willing.
It's a strange case of reverse sexual di-morphism. She's bigger and more muscular than he is

This sours Iron's expression quite a lot, as he was previously considering they were little less than scared and confused guards stuck inside the cage, eager to get this behind them.
"Is that so..." Iron mutters in dismay before shaking his head and relaxing his muscles, looking at the two gnolls in the cage for a good five seconds before starting to walk away from the two, not wanting to do anything with them.

Perhaps if Iron had met her under different circumstances, her inner will would have won out. But as it is, she is stabbed, cut, only recently out of ties, locked in a cage, and she sees enemies coming from a direction from which she should expect friendly reinforcements.

"Let me light something..."
She takes a piece of the robe she is wearing, places it on the ground, places another piece in her teeth, and tugs, ripping a sleeve right off. She holds it in air with magic, pulls out a lighter from a belt pocket, and..
"click" lights it on fire
"The light won't last long"
Iron can see a room, not very large with high, arched ceiling, made of white stone. Most of it is water, with a ledge wide enough for two ponies. There is a small row boat, white with a red strip on the top of the side, up beside the ledge like it is a pier, with a rope lazily placed around a stake. At the end of the room is a circular tunnel with no lighting, with water at the bottom, and ig enough for the boat to travel through. The water doesn't look very deep, but it's almost opaque

Iron plops down and "splash" the front of his muzzle goes into the water, and the top of his face is splashed and wet. But when Iron rights himself he finds that he can rather easily keep his head above water - infact, much of his head didn't get wet in the first place. Once he gets into the water, no longer angled down into it by his hind legs being on a higher platform, he finds it's two feet deep if even that. Iron can keep his barrel above water.

She winces
“The Fire is about to die....”
Iron can feel things under the water. Sometimes it is sand, sometimes it is decaying plant matter, and once he feels something press against him and dart, like a fish. Once or twice he feels something harder and sharper, like some artificial object
But iron makes his way forward. The water in the room is perhaps two feet, and the tunnel is no deeper, perhaps even a little higher. At the end, he can see a hold through where there were bars, and an opening to what looks like the harbor bay. Moonlight sleeps through the end, maybe 40 meters away

Iron goes forward, down the tunnel, and to the entrance, where it exits out into Horseshoe Bay. To the right he can see the lights of Locust point and the passenger terminal there, as well as the lights of so many piers, houses and factories. Beyond that are the more scattered lights of the Southern shore, and its dark forests. To the left he can see the outline of the peninsula, with so many houses along the shore, the hills and houses above that, and at the very end, protruding into the bay, the lighthouse. In the bay are a pair of ships, probably freighters, and the lights of a few pleasure craft.
But what would interest him most is the boat that is just off shore, maybe a thousand feet if that. A vessel perhaps 90 feet in length, that looks almost military, with green stripes. It has a light, which it is shining forward, presumably over at the buildings of Hoebuck
Beneath Iron, there are some rocks before it becomes dee

It does seem to calm down after the passage of perhaps a minute with no further loud sounds. They start to stand up from their positions in cover. Though the light maintains an interest on the high points, it drifts down on a few occasions lower, though not yet as low as the waterline or seawall

Further over, to the left, a few hundred meters away, is a small pier and a very small yacht. To the right, further away, is what looks like a factory that comes closer to the water, with a smaller concrete pier up against the water, and a narrower stretch of grass between the building and the seawall

Iron dives into the water, two feet at a time to reduce the splash.
Iron doesn’t entirely understand what Sands was complaining about, as the water is well above freezing. Still, it is very cold, at least as much as the water from the lake in his dream, and colder than all but the high mountain streams. It’s terrible color, being brown and opaque, not much visible past the first foot, and the silt-filled water has a disgusting smell of salt, dead plant matter, and a hint of petrol. Iron down few through what seems to be Sand’s tail. She has dived her head down

Iron is nearing what would be the end of the seawall. It’s still some ways to go before they get to the yacht and the pier.

Brie goes down the road, passing by Zu Lang's corpse and a pair of Gendarme drones scurrying forward. He goes up the hill to the town, where a pair of ponies, looks like a mare and a stallion, look over in curiosity at the scene before them. On the road a drone yells "Curfew begins soon, off the roads unless you have business" at ponies on the road, who trot about at pace. Going into the Police station, a couple drones rush in, as a earth pony mare secretary has a look of concern

I think they suffered nerve damage that affected their shape-shifting from this paralysis poison the natives put on their arrows. But I would hardly be a surprise if it were something more directly supernatural, like a curse. The ponies can do that, at least we think some of them can, and we have no idea what the natives can do"
>>125605
Indeed it is, none other than the Zebra mare. She's larger than White Sands, and definitely more muscular and less.... skinny

Brie waves his hoof at the mention of "Don't tell the Queen I said that", but thinks deeply as the drone continues.
"Appreciating that hierarchies have a necessary rigidity to their structure, are you saying there is no room for potentially essential info to be offered by lower ranking drones? As for the rest, it seems fairly obvious that something caused a very drastic and significant change in your former officers, and I have a hard time buying the story of curses or 'poison tipped' anything, especially given the testimony of the prisoner who was thoroughly,... interrogated. No, I think they found something, and their transformation was a consequence of that."

"Okay..."
She trots off
"Alright, come along Iron."
She nudges through a crowd of ponies, going towards the wooden stairs. Ponies talk loudly and some song plays from what is more likely a radio than a live band, and the walls are a dark brown exposed wood. She walks upstairs, tries to open a door, notices it is locked, goes onto a second, opening it, and looking inside, slams it shut with a "sorry," then goes onto a third, which she opens and goes inside. There's a bed and a nightstand.
"What is it?" She says
>>125611
"It's always in the best interest of anyling to tell a superior what they want to hear, rather than what is true, and that is all I will say about that. I don't think Zu Lang even fully understood what was happening to his own body, but he was dead set that any damage to equipment was caused by rebels, and would hear of nothing else. As for whether they found something... I cannot speak to that. They lead expeditions into the northern forests, through the forest that belonged to the old mining company and into Onibwe lands. We know it didn't go entirely well for them, and several drones were killed, and all three were injured. This happened in multiple encounters over at least a week, and we first noticed things were off after that. But that was not very long after they were assigned here. For all we know, their.... condition started before they were transferred here. The ponies think, or thought, that the creatures were forest demons. And many drones think the forest itself cursed them."

Brie nods thoughtfully, having mixed feelings about Macrurus' response.
"I see. So what you're effectively telling me - and I say this without criticism - is that if measures are to be taken to attempt to avoid a situation such as this in the future, the orders will have to be ratified by your superiors. Is that accurate?"

"Probably not. I did not do much aside from bashing a few heads and maybe leave two dog-looking creatures that were enforcers to the slaver in a cage," he informs.
The native blinks tiredly before looking back at Cauldron. "...do you have a healing potion on you right now?" he asks

"Yes" Assuming Brie is headed to his right, down a hallway he hasn't been down before
"That room, right there."
Just a couple rooms down is a room with a massive wooden table, and wooden chairs (not fancier leather)
On the wall is a massive map, at least 10 feet wide and 6 feet tall
"That's pre-war, with some markings on it"
Brie is looking at a map of the Haysabi region. The town of Blackwood is a little south and west of the center, and is marked with the two pits of the mine. To the immediate north are some more marked ore bearing areas, but no mines north of the north pit. The town and mines are on a streak of hills, which continue south and west with more marked towns and mines. There is a rectangle on the map that takes up most of it, which excludes the western mines.
"That's the jurisdiction of the Gendarme here"
To the south is grassland and famrland, past a set of woods south of the town. To the east and especially north are many lakes. Dozens of individual lakes. A river runs through just west of center in a wavy shape, interlocking with many of the lakes and missing others. There is another town on the map within the rectangle, kind of south and east of center, named Defago, which is on teh river. To the north of Blackwood is another pit, a lake near by, and then miles and miles of forest. Dense forest. Going further north, there is a marking of "Onibwe Nation" which goes far north, further even that the massive, pink line on the map, the southern side of which is labelled "Equestria," and the Northern side labelled "Crystal Empire." The rectangle ends at this line. There is a railroad running through the rectangle diagonally, crossing the river and going through Blackwood. South of the Rectangle, and taking a turn east, the river meats up with another river around about Whinnyapolis, and the city of Riverside right across the otherside of a different river that runs across the bottom of the map. The railroad too, goes to this city, and on the opposite side of the map goes off with the mark "To the Crystal City."
Though there are some hills, these seem to be very low. There is little farmland within the jurisdiction, and no mountains

She looks down at what Iron has taken
"That's... that's quite a haul you got there. You might be able to stay in this room. Normally the owner only lets creatures rent it out for an hour, but I have privileges here. I think I could find a way to hide it and take it to my apartment, yes"

"This is Sands," he answers "a unicorn mare that previously was a slave to the now wiped out cult." He pauses, blinking softly "I lead her here because firstly, she helped me take some metal powder shooters that could be useful for either selling or your use," the native explains as he beckons Sands to display dem gunz "and secondly, she may prove useful for our... future venture, if you know what I mean."

"Alright. Keep it all low. Follow me"
They go down stairs, through the crowd of ponies and diamond dogs, and to the street
"It'll be much quicker if we take a taxi. Less likely to be searched as well

It's a bit of a ride as she places her hoof down on the seat next to him. Iron has ridden in one of these things before, but they are driven with reckless abandon, with more speed and acceleration than he'd really like, and more than one sudden stop to not hit pedestrians crossing the street.
The vehicle arrives at the corner as they get out and Cauldron gives the order "follow me"
A block or so to an apartment building, going through the front door and up a flight to where Cauldron's apartment is. She unlocks the door, and lets the ponies inside

The ponies travel down the street, assuming Iron doesn't start feeling dizzy, util they get to he back door of a building. Cauldron knocks on it, and a yellowish unicorn stallion opens the door
"My friend needs help"
She says
"You again?" The stallion looks at Iron. "I'm getting Deja Vu"
He welcomes Iron inside, to a room with a table, a picture of the internal anatomy of a dog on the wall, and a few sinks and Cabinets
"Alright, let me just do some tests here..."

"Alright, let's place in the IV"
He does so
"And... You're high right now, aren't you? Well let's take those bandages off any seal these wounds"
He cuts some bandages off with scissors, looks at wounds, and covering areas in iodine and sewing stitches.
"Tell me if you feel too much pain, we have anesthetics."
He disinfects, stitches, and tries to replace lost blood, before bandaging Iron and adding a splint on one leg that makes it awkward to walk, or so it likely would when Iron tests it
"Alright, not too much pressure on your left foreleg, or your third left rib, or your back on the right side just three inches above your midsection.

"I didn't really know, to be honest. I figured that as I had worked as a Typist, I could do the same in Aquellia. Either in the city of Aquellia itself, or one of the other big cities. Or I could be a secretary. Or I could be a courier again. I suppose there are lots of things I could do. I guess I could go to school? I hadn't really thought of that."

She smiles back at him. Then her eyes go past him, and to the scene in the Sanctuary, with Johann and Undertoe trying to keep the cultists in place, and Khoi trying to tend to the sacrifices

"I had hoped I could stay away from the action. I did not fight when my home was invaded. I did not participate in the resistance after. I could have, but I didn't. Only tonight did I really do anything. I did it to prove to all of you that a Griffin could fight for good. You-"
At this last part she breaks eye contact, before returning her eyes to say the last line
"And to prove to myself"

Her description seems to make Silver infatuated with the idea.
"Wow..."
He sighs to himself, looking forward.
"I wish I was. It is part of reason why I choose to go out and adventure in first place, but after trouble finding enough money to live on when I was young, it took more form of mercenary work, and it became more about money than doing good...I think, however, I would like to follow that ideal from now on, while this old pony still has strength inside him. Being Youxia sounds nice."

"Mercenary work? Huh. That was not common in Ngua. Still, my grandfather was in the King's Army during the war of independence. My great uncle too. He died in it. But to fight for good itself... That is better than for a king or for money. Or out of necessity..."

Alright, after analyzing the map and determining where the specific mining site that the trouble (deaths and mutations) occurred, Brie is going to GO TO FUCKING SLEEP (he's at 4 hp btw).
>>125755
Not a terrible choice
Brie is escorted to a building that used to be an inn, a two story wodden frame building with overhang and grape purple carpet. Th rooms don't have radios, but you can't always expect the best possible comfort. Other rooms in the end likewise have Changeling drones, one of whom has a pony mare, half of whom are not wearing uniforms, and a largely overlapping half are buzzed though not yet drunk. Macrurus sends out frantically for a telegram - only to be none to pleased by the response and in a state of anxiety. Brie's dogs follow him into the streets, where a singular colt goes up to try to pet him, before being barked off. Another comes into the hotel, awkwardly creating a physical obstacle to movement in the hallways, resulting in a drone having a tight squeeze
What is the preferred wake up time? (I mean, night or morning? The current time is still early, before sundown)

From behind, a sound of loud hoof steps up the stairwell, then the clatter of hooves in the antechamber
A grey unicorn mare shoots out in blue uniform, oval cap, and caring a revolver, aiming it at the creatures in the sanctuary
"Batlimare PD! Put your hooves, horns, claws and paws where I can see them!
Immediately behind her comes a Pegasus stallion with a carbine that he grasps with one hoof and keeps to his shoulder with a strap
"Aye! This is Customs! Now don't move"

A familiar griffin - Blue Skies - appears behind the two, as well as more than one new pony. The mare rushes towards the standing ponies - the party as well as the cultists, while the stallion looks around in horror at the burnt pews, the bodies, and the two sliced open creatures on the altar
When Dark Star mentions he is with the 'party,' the mare responds with a near disgust
"Is this Blackhooves"
The Stallion has an "I told you sow" inflection in his voice
"I told'ya it was one of ours"
The mare responds to Silver
"Baltimare government? Police?" she then shakes her head
"Yes. We have medics"

"Everyone, put your weapons down"
There are those wavy daggers littering the floor, thrown away long before the police got there
A white uniformed pony, then a second one, runs in
"Who needs medical help?

The police mare goes up to the cultist
"Alright, you are detained under suspicion of engaging in organized criminal activity, until further notice"
Three police come in. She tells them:
"Cuff them"
One yells out "hey!" and tries to struggle, he is thrown to the ground and hit with a baton, before being piled on by a stallion
The stallion says:
"So youse try to take on the criminal enterprise of Storm Feather Maakie?"

It's not a consistent trail, picking up at points, but continuing sometimes later. Nothing in the printing room, but blood in the Infirmary in a small streak that goes towards the surgical room. Openning the door, Silver can see - on the surgical table, as if to make it look like the zebra was being harvested for organs - a terrible site. It's something like a cross between a deer torn apart by wolves, the sacrifices he saw earlier, and an autopsy. The Zebra is on his back, has been cut open, and is missing several interanal organs - liver and heart - with flesh around the legs, shoulders, and ribs. Hide is peeled back, cut back, or just missing
>>125874
He pulls out a note book
"Just gotta put your name, your signature, and the names of all the creatures. If their names ain't on here, they could be at risk of being picked up and deported. At the bottom, write that you ledge to look after them, report back to us, and will petition the governor for relief"

It's kind of tedious, as paperwork so often is. Especially so, where Dark Star has to write out every part on a blank note paper
"Alright, write down their names... The promise... 'I promise to take care of them...'"
After some time - several minutes - it is eventually done.
Does Dark Star write all of the names, or specific ones?

"I know..." He gets out, leans up next to a sink, grabs a hand towel, turns the water, wets it, and cleans himself

He takes a wavy dagger, and slices off pieces of flesh, then more flesh, then more, as well a couple internal organs
"Unless I can take parts of the other Zebra out there..."

He looks back to Silver
"They are not going to search me, will they? Will they take my sword? What will happen to me? Will they arrest me?"

Gnoll is pet
Mala quickly cuts down a zebra leg where the hide has already been cut and peeled back. He cuts deep, down to the bone, scraping it, and cuts off a long piece of muscle, places it in his mouth, bites it in half, and swallows, before frantically cutting off another very large piece and swallowing it as well. He must have removed 10 pounds of Zebra meat, a number of steaks worth in big chunks, in front of Silver

"Still shaken... But I figure that's what it's like for the stallions who go off to war as well"
Going down the roads, it's much the same as what he saw coming it. Half lit streets of dark stretches, rats scurrying about between overloaded garbage cans, individuals, mostly griffins and zebras, swaying in drunkenness, or travelling in loud and rowdy groups. Trees that look as if they were dead in the leafless winter, and brown grass that looks much the same. Townhouses and sometimes less pleasing brick tenement buildings of a style popular 40 years ago. Building still partly collapsed in from the war and never completed. Little black and red flags hanging in the windows. It's a fullmoon out

"That is... That happened in Equestria? A socialist government?"

"Good luck...
My son prefers the old Equestrian rule, saying they are more open to other creatures and will guard Harmony. There are things I do not like about these 'Black Hooves.' They pander to the workers with programs, they can be intolerant and despotic. But they do have one great virtue. They are jealous of power. They will guard it, and share it only with great reluctance, unlike the old princesses, who had good intentions, but were naive. I've seen how the Shah back in my country compromised with the reformists, and how it was our undoing. My son has not seen this, so he does not know. But I have, and that is why I disagree with him. May Mazda be with you."
>>125960
"I don't know. I'm pretty sure there is more money here. More stuff. I like that, But I don't think the older ones got what they were expecting when they came here. It's less change than they wanted."

Silver nods after a couple seconds of contemplation.
"I suppose I would also be distressed in that situation. It would be nice to see pony cultural revival in Red Heart, take this part of city back and clean it up...as ambitious as that idea is."

"That's what the Marelanders claim they want. They can't even keep the anarchists in the west side of the neighborhood from seceding. It's a big task. It's not really safe at night... even now. Though I think you could fight any muggers." He smiles. "But yeah"

As Silver walks further down Horseman Avenue, he walks past a few factories, but mostly shops, tenements, rowhouses, or shops with apartments on the upper floors. While there are buildings with clear damage from artillery through out the city, it is more common here to see a damaged building than else where. As he goes down further, he starts to see a few more lights on in the shops down stairs. There are burglar bars on the windows replacing the red and black flags from earlier. And there are pony stallions on the streets, who stare at passers by. Just two now, but still it is noticable
"We're entering the neighborhood. There's a road that branches off Horseman Avenue, Cinnamon Road, that is the main road most of it is on. Here. Take a left"

"Yeah, they made us huddle up in the buildings. This part of the neighborhood is on landfill so there is no where to go underground. It was terrifying, the way the walls shook. Listening to the babies crying. It could last hours..."

She is hugged. She has short, kind of course fur that is loose on her body, and he can feel her ribs. She tries to hug back, with very long, bony legs. Her mane is long and wavy, and it flows onto Dark Star

Silver turns onto a new street, with a cobble road, and gas street lights. Mostly shops on the first floor with two floors of apartments with small balconies and brick walls. There are burglar bars on the windows, and again, a couple stallions on the street. Further down the street becomes wide as there is what looks almost like a town square with a market of wooden stalls, closed down for the night, in the center, and what looks like a church and a school house around it. Further down still, past the market are a few much older looking buildings with jettying over the street and white wash walls. At a couple points, alleys that branch off are covered by corrugated steel panels that block the path, and a few garden plots, planted in vegetables, are behind thick fences.
"Here we are. Little Skynavia. We are on a little that pushes out a little into the harbor, between Red Heart and Locust Promontory."
>>125985
"Again, I think you"
She bows her head, and holds out her forelegs, angling her hoof down and touching Dark Star
Glimmering Glass turns around to Dark Star
"Hey, you're back! And you brought friends, it looks like"

"Of course you can" He turns back around, looks through a set of bottles on the back wall, finds nothing, then looks down
"There's no better place to be at ease than the Eastside tavern" Under his breath: "Where did I put that fucking thing?"
He opens a cabinent door, moves some glasses, and then,
"Here we go. One Apple Whiskey, coming up

"It's not too bad. Most of the ponies work outside the community, but other than that and a few items that you have to buy in town like bicycle parts, there is little reason to leave. This area isn't really commonly for through traffick"
As the ponies go further down Cinnamon street, a Stallion comes up. It's an almost shinning light red earth pony stallion, with a coat almost like a crystal pony, and longer, fluffier fur than normal
"Are you lost?" he asks Silver

“I am a part of the neighborhood watch -"
Loputu butts in
“Oh back off Talve, you act like you’re an MP on an Army base or something”
The stallion looks back, astonished at the licorice colt
“Lõputu Sügis?! Is that you?”
“Yeah, it’s me, Talve”
“Where have you been? We thought you had drowned or... well I thought you ran away to look for a job or joined the Army Overseas, but they thought you were dead”
“No, I’m right here and alive, thanks to this fellow”
He points to Silver
>>125991
“Hmmm... We’re running low on rooms. But you can do so, sure. Let me just get you...” he bends down and eventually pulls out - “a key”

"He was foalnapped by griffons operating out of 33 Hoebuck. I was part of group that raided that fortress, cleared it of its inhabitants, and rescued him from what could have been terrible fate."

"You know this stallion?"
Silver nods.

"Yeah, it's a close community. That's Talve Süda he was in school with me, though a couple years ahead of me. He thinks he's big being in the neighborhood watch, but really we know he's just wasting time since they cut his hours at the tire factory."
Talve responds
"Hey! It's an important job! And what about your jumping over rooftops and trying to fish in restricted areas
"Alright alright. But good to see you, Talve"

The stallion goes out in front, followed by Loputu
"This way." They go just a little past the town square, past a building that looks like a church with reddish walls and a red tile pyramid ontop of a tower, and to a big, corrugated door
"Let me just"
He pulls out a key chain, and unlocks a lock on the edge of the door. click, and he slides it aside. It opens to a little alley that's dirt but kind of clean with some grass on it, into a central common area that includes a few grass areas with some toys, but also garden plots with tomatoes and cabbages.
"This way"
Loputu takes the lead as they go through the center of the the plot, at most an acre and a half surrounded by tan stucco buildings of two and three stories, down a dirt trail between raised beds of vegatables, until they get to an alley on the other side. There is a small road on the other side of this alley, with a line of buildings that look mostly like single houses, and further to the right is what seems like a larger, almost warehouse like building. Silver can smell salt and fish, and through gaps in the houses there he can see what seems to be the harbor bay on the other side of the houses. But Loputu goes down just a few feet on the left, to an opening on a building that was a part of the apartment block around the garden plot, just on the other side.
They go up a set of external stairs, made of wood, up to a landing on the second level. Silver can't quite see over the houses, but there is nothing beyond them, just the clear, full moon night.
Loputu knocks on the door. Then Talve knocks

She smiles at him, and for the first time, her long, slender horn lights up a blue-grey, letting the key hover in the grip of the blue-grey aura. She smiles at Dark Star. "Thank you, again. And thank you for rescuing me. I know it could have ended so much worse... I didn't think I would get out of that shell at all. But here I am, because of you"
>>126004
A big, blue stallion opens the door
"What is it, it's 2 in the morning, what could you possibly need me for?"
He has a black mane, and a big, muscular build. His yellow eyes focus on Loputu, and he is astonished. Then he rushes forward and squeaky hugs Loputu
"Little Loputu! Where have you been? I though I would never see you again!" He hugs him more, then turns his head back and yells into the apartment
"Soe! Loputu is back!"

"There were Griffins?"
A new mare comes outside, kind of angry. She is also a little big
'What is going on, why you wake me up at this hour-"
She, too, pauses for a moment, before seeing Loputu
"You're alive! What happened to you?"
The stallion responds
"This stallion here says he was foalnapped by griffins"
"Well what were you doing to get yourself foalnapped?" she yells at Loputu, and then slaps him with a hoof "Ow!"
But then she comes in, and hugs him
"I was so worried about you"
>>126007
"Well, I am not entirely a pony"
She tilts her head down while looking at him, as if she is looking up at him

"Griffin slavers?" She says, with horror
"Such terrible things! How can I raise foals in this place if there are griffin slavers"
Loputu:
"Mom, he said 'used to be.' He killed them all"
"He did what?"
"Yeah, he killed them all"
"Well, it serves them right. And you're banned from venturing out beyond the streetlights from now on"
"Mom! I'm almost old enough to join the overseas"
"And you're not going there either. You are staying safe right here"

"What do you want to know about it? It is hard to explain in words, when a culture is something you live in, immerse yourself in, like air, or water, all around you. So much of it, you have to see. The rectangular designs of columns and square walls covered in intricate patterns of blue and white on the old aristocratic houses... like my old family house. The trees on my old plantation, harvested in in the autumn by laborers from the village. The big, free standing columns of the Shah's palace ending in rounded marble tear drops. And the ever-burning goblets of Atar, or fire, at the center of the Fire Temples

"If had to say what were the core social values of Karkardanistan, it would be Respect, Courtesy, and Politesse. Have dignity in your interactions with others, and treat them with dignity. At least that is how it was with the higher classes, who I interacted with the most. Always try to keep composure. The lower classes would act more... 'familiar' with each other, as it is in all nations, but the Temples taught them respect. Neither be cold nor unrestrained, but kind and composed.
As for other races... Well... With other horses, like Saddle Arabians, we have fought wars. Karkadannistan was a part of the Saddle Arabian Empire for a few centuries, and I do not think they have forgotten it. With non-horses" Her expression changes to one of almost disgust
"Let's just say it is much easier to respect the Caliph in Saddle Arabia than... Gnolls, or the Yetis of the south. I will say I interacted with many of them during the Storm King's reign. We had to help supply them. They could be... okay at times, but you could never fully consider them equals"
>>126015
She now turns to him
"Oh, thank you thank you thank you"
And she hugs Silver
"Thank you for bringing our son back"

"Karkadannistan culture, at least for the old guard, was centered on everyhorse taking a role under tradition, that wove them into a social web so that every member of society and every class benefited another, and everyhorse was linked through this web to horses of centuries past, and to generations not yet born in the future. But Equestria took this a step further. True interdependence. Beyond kind but composed... Friendship. True Harmony. That was the image, anyways. And more than Friendship: technology, wealth, and power.
The Storm King came into our lands early, he destroyed temples and burned plantations, and forced most of the rest of us landowners to work with him. But the Storm King died in Equestria. That was a big event for us. Nothing changed my life more, save the day my son was born, and the day the Storm King's airships entered my country.
That Twilight Sparkle is one of the greatest creatures ever to have lived, of that I have no doubt. But I will say again what I said before. I am not certain she had the jealousy and practical cynicism to truly guard what she had created."

She tilts her head

The yaks would not help with the Changelings, but the Hippogrifs would. Equestria's best friends were those the furthest from the danger, but the closer to the danger, the more they cowered. Then the split with the colony happened, and they tried to conquer an Empire, and Twilight declared war to show that she would stand beside young griffin states... It got messy. She was very much committed to an ideal, and it did not work out for her... But I should not lecture an Equestrian on Equestrian politics"

Buildings baring the red and black flag in the windows. After some time, he passes out of Red Heart, and into Eastside, where he can hail a taxi for the last bit of distance

It seems to be a historical argument about the course of the development of the Griffonian Empire, in particular, the crusade against the river nations. Skies seems to believe that the Griffonian Empire did not have the essential military virtues to defeat the River ponies - in particular, Nimbusia - while Johann seems to believe it had more to do with happenstance. Likewise, Johann believes that the Idle of Boreas was an essential Palladium securing the wellbeing of the Griffonian Empire, while Blue Skies believes that the power of nobles is what ruined it - a view Johann does not entirely disagree with. As they argue more, they come upon the agreement that an active, virtuous citizenry is essential to the wellbeing of the state

Then in the final invasion, they held the Changelings back for a good while. So did they fail to deal with a threat, or were they stabbed in the back when their former colonists invaded?

She smiles back at him, then scoots into the booth, sitting down next to Silver. She looks back to him, smiles, and glances back to what is going on with Dark Star and Undertoe

"Order? Honor? Strength?"
She tilts her head back to the booth with Johann and Blue Skies
"Go ask them yourself. I get the strangest suspicion you never have"
>>126163
"Heh, a little."
She smiles at Silver
"My parents were supporters of the federal system. I had more of an affinity for the syndicates... but that may just be because the griffs I went to school with were. It can be a it draining, yeah"

>>126165
Yes. She is
>>126166
"Huh. Oh. Well, you see, Equestria has a monarchy. Had a monarchy, anyways. Sort of still does. But what I mean is that Sycameon doesn't. Everything is decentralized. Well, it mostly is. But there are syndicates that own granaries, the larger commercial farms, and run the government, were every griff has some sort of say in it."

He considers this for a moment, then nods.
"That sounds very nice. It can be slow, I imagine, getting everygriff together to make collective decisions, but it sounds like it would make for free, happy population."

"How do you make exceptions for them - well, for all of us - but still hold the general rule?"
>>126169
"Well, the town near where I lived made a requirement that you have to show up to be counted, and a certain portion of the members of the syndicate had to be there for certain proposals to be passed, but yeah. It was a very carefree, happy population. Maybe not as wealthy as Skyfall or the Pony Colony, but... easy going. Not at all like the griffins beyond the mountains"

"Well, you say griffins don't value Honor, Order, or Strength. But it seems like you've only ever had a conversation with two of them. And you think those to may value order, honor, and strength. So why do you not believe that if you spoke to more of them, you'd find that many of them are like those two?
And for that matter, why did you sign to take all of us, and give us asylum, if you don't want all of the many poor creatures who have lost their livelihoods to be able to seek asylum?"

Yes. She is candy apple red, with an indigo mane that is straight, clearly washed and brushed, and bushed behind her head in a curve, and with light, purple eyes
"Well, I've never been a pony or a griffin, so I don't have much point of comparison, but I imagine it's kind of like being a pony. What's it like being a zebra?"

Another couple details. She has black socks on her rear hooves (though those would not be visible) and a golden necklace with a design on the end that she is not wearing, but rather has wrapped around her left arm above her claw

"Why are you so afraid to so afraid to wear it?" she asks
"You'll be kind sometimes to the poor souls those cultists were going to do horrible things to - even kind when you don't have to be - and even to me. But you are afraid to show it, it seems. Kind in private, harsh in public"

"I can't speak for all griffins, but we did it like this"
She prances onto her left foreclaw, placing much of her weight on it, shifts to the right, then moves to her hind legs, then forward, then back, with considerable body movement, not really in pace with the slower love song played on the jukebox
>>126220
She smiles back
"I will admit, you are the first Blackhooves deputy I have ever spoken with. You're a bit... different, than what I expected. And a bit exactly like I expected"

Silver looks at her dance, and smiles at her.
"I can see what kind of songs that would go to. One of dances I learned is like this."
Silver puts his right hooves, both front and back, behind his left hooves, then takes a step to the left, then a slow twirl, a step back, a step forward, then he puts his left hooves behind his right, and takes a step right. It's slow and subtle, more in line with the tempo of the song if not perfectly fitting it in mood.

She places her other claw on his shoulders - even in the circumstances, griffin claws don't feel the best - and follows, trying to keep pace with him. She seems to have some degree of talent in dancing, and so makes fewer mistakes in following him than could be expected. She stairs straight into his blue eyes with her own green
>>126231
She nods to him. Dark Star goes over to Meadows, who is still at the bar, and still not drinking. She is nibbling on peanuts, seeming to chew the shells as well

"You have very beautiful eyes, you know."

"Heh, you too. I must admit, this is not a bad style of dance. Not one I would have done back in my hometown, but still. It is nice"

After chewing for a moment, she swallows, definitely eating the peanut shell and all
"Is that so? She seems a little... off, but I suppose their could be a nice creature under there, once you let your guard down"
>>126237
They shift back and forth on the floor. The song concludes, and after a second or two of silence. A new song begins. It's a very different song from the one before, and while the music seems to have no origin in Griffin culture - belonging to that genre known as "jazz" - the look in Jubilosa's eyes tell Silver that it is time to try her way of doing it. She moves her claws, so that she is in the lead

This provokes more laughter than Dark Star may have expected, with a light whinnying, and her head moving down, then back up again as she laughs
"Hahhaha! Hahaha"
It doesn't take her long to recover, and she smiles at him.
With a Silver glow of her horn, two peanuts are lifted, then suddenly split in half. the nuts come out in her aura, and go into her open mouth, as she chews. Then the empty shells are also sent into her mouth, and she places them on the outer edge of her mouth as she chews
>>126244
She seems to be taking it rather seriously, watching her claw steps, looking to where Silver's hooves land, and trying to modify her movement to the very different pace of the music

She gives a lighter laugh, though at the end her smile stops. She chews a little more, swallows, and places a hoof in the bowl of unshelled peanuts, and places a whole hoof-full in her mouth
>>126249
As she dances and prances, Silver can see the agility of a skilled flier, and the stamina as well
But the song does not last forver, and a softer song comes on again

She looks to Silver
"I can drink it"
Glistening Glass pours a glass,
"One glass of apple whiskey, coming up"
She takes the glass in her claw, and sips it in her mouth. She stops, her eyes move in weird ways as she coughs
"Wow, that's strong"
She looks at Silver, closing her beak firm for the moment

"I did not come to this city with much. It was what I could afford. I got deed to house on waterfront from Maakie's safe if you would rather have something better..."
He nods to her.

"Huh"
She turns around, and sits on the bed
"That might be worth looking into tomorrow. This will do tonight. It's much better than what I was expecting"

"Okay, now I am curious what it was you were expecting."
Silver sits down next to her on the bed.

He stares for a few seconds, before breaking the awkward tension by cracking up and starting to laugh.

She really does look like a big cat, with a slender waste receding from her chest, tan fur, and medium brown feathers
"You've never done... What, exactly?"
She smiles awkwardly
"I'm... pretty sure... I've never done it with a pony, either"

She smiles at him, laying down next to him. Then she extends her left wing, over top of Silver

He closes his eyes, and scoots closer to her, until their bodies meet.
"You are very warm, Jubilosa."

He giggles softly, and looks in her eyes. He moves his head closer to hers to go for a kiss.

She moves her beak forward, to try to kiss back
It's a weird experience. Her tongue is small, she has no lips at all, and her mouth is, of course, a solid beak

He keeps it up for a few seconds, having to turn his head slightly so their mouths can lock. He also has to make sure his tongue doesn't completely overpower hers. Once the few seconds are up, he breaks the kiss, and smiles at her again.
"That was quite pleasant experience for me. New, but pleasant."

She seems... surprised. Or at least, her eyes are wide

She moves her head in a slightly embarrassed way, making use on an elastic neck

Her head is a little further away when he does this, but she moves her head to his, turning her beak to the side so it locks over his. He can feel her small tongue, her beak, and her breathe. There's a point on the end of her beak that points down in a sharp edge. It irritates Silver's right cheek, but this is the only blemish in the novel experience. She pulls her wing up, towards his neck

He brings a hoof up to gently caress her cheek, while his other holds her by the hip. As the two kiss, Jubilosa can feel something new poke and grow against her lower abdomen.

>>126327
She moves back a little at the touch, before moving it back. Her cheeks are comparatively soft, and she presses her beak back.
He can feel the bones under her fur on her hip, and how they can move around with ease as he presses. Her body flinches a little at the other touch

It grows rather quickly, rubbing against her short, soft fur and stiffening up underneath her breastbone. It feels large and firm, even if she can't see it.
The unicorn pays it little mind, enjoying the taste of Jubilosa and the sensation of being there with her. He lets out a soft moan.

She places a claw on the back of his neck, rubbing his fur - then moving up to his ears. She places a claw on his right ear, feeling the tuft, and moving it back and forth
Silver's lower part meats up against her belly, which gives as it presses, finding only moderately course fur

I was going to make another Silver joke calling this but I was too late. Question: are hippogriffs their own race or are they result of ponies like Silver?

And twitch they do, underneath her care and attention. He smiles sweetly, then awkwardly, as he looks down.
"...this is odd question, I know, but...perhaps I could see what your...'down there' parts look like? I have never seen what griffon's looks like."

"Heh"
Her neck recedes down, as her wing moves up to partly cover her face in obvious embarrassment
"I guess... I guess that's where we are now. Sure... I guess"
It taker her more than a moment of laying there in embarrassment, but she stands up in the bed, and turns around. She's able to bend her back to a surprising degree to do this, but she turns her rear to him as she stand there.
Her rump is kind of thin and bony, and she has a rather long tail of fur and flesh, with a small brown turf on the end. She bend the tail - not upwards, but to the left, and silver can see it: A pink anus that does not puff up, and a pink vulva that raises slightly on the left and right sides. The vulva does not circle around in the noose shape of the equine vulva, nor is it as prominent, nor is a clitoris visible

"Woah..."
The unicorn looks at strange, new genitalia, unlike that of a mare. He hesitantly puts a hoof against her rump, close to her vulva, to gauge her reaction.

>>126336
When he presses the hoof against her rump, she jumps, turning her body around in a semi-circle, and arching her back up as her head is turned to him. This of course means her hind is no longer visible

>>126337
The suddenness of the reaction as well as its nature causes Silver to jump back a little with wide eyes. He quickly sputters out a string of sorries with a very embarrassed look on his face.
He is, however, in a more exposed position to Jubilosa, who can now see everything that the male specimen of pony has to offer: a long, fairly girthy rod of flesh, smooth, furless, and with a dark grey color. It's separated into two halves by a thick medial ring, and at either ends of the slender rod are a fat, ridged, dome head that hasn't flared out entirely yet, and an intimidatingly thick base. A vein is visible in the side, pumping blood into the phallus to fuel its growth. Finally, below this are a set of large, round, health testicles, held in place by a scrotum that has only stretched out slightly due to age.

Jubilosa, after the reaction, looks back to Silver, and then notices the exposed penis, and stops moving, before moving her head closer to it, examining it in detail, and staring at it almost with fascination
"So that's what it looks like..."

Silver stops apologizing to look at the fascinated griffon, slightly confused.
"You have...never seen stallionhood, before...does it look much different from what griffon males have?"

It wobbles a little like a flagpole in the wind in reaction. It twitches a little after as he clenches his lower abdomen. He looks away, a little embarassed, but otherwise doing nothing to stop or hinder her examination of the phallus.
"How so?"

>>126343
Now it moves a little like the hand in a grandfather clock, moving back and forth. It twitches again underneath her watchful eye. A small droplet of prejaculate materializes on the end of the urethra. Silver tries to imagine what a griffon penis looks like from her small description, not coming up with much.
"Huh...I hope it is, uh...desirable, sized up against those of your species."

After at least a full minute of staring at it, she moves her eyes up to his
"Normally, I am supposed to refuse, and the male insists, then I give in... But you're being so deferential. I wonder if that's a pony thing. I hope you don't judge me but.... Yes"

He returns to smiling softly at Jubilosa. His stallionhood twitches in the foreground.
"I want to enjoy this time I have with you while I still have it, and I would like to spend some intimately with you. I also want you to enjoy it, too."

"Oh, excellent!"
She grabs the bandages out of the air
"It's kind of wondrous, seeing things flying in the air. Magic"
She extends her claw out. Silver may recognize the griffin talons from his experiences in the hallway back in Hoebuck. How much it hurts.
"They can retract... but they won't"
She wraps the claw, again and again and again. Then she takes more bandages, and using her beak to hold the end, rotates her right claw around until it too is wrapped.
Both claws are wrapped up densely in bandages
"It's awkward... But your bed and your back will tank me. Now, let's do this"

He chuckles slightly, takes the sides of the griffon's head between his hooves, and kisses her deeply. As their mouths embrace, he gently coaxes her down onto the bed, with him on top of her.

>>126360
"Heh heh"
As much as her position alloows her, she moves to stand on top of the bed.
She forces her rear up, moves her tail over to the left, exposing her vagina, and she moves her head and fore down, arching her back up, and stretching her forelegs out. She is now formally presenting to Silver, or at least, she is angled in that way under him

Thus Silver stands over top her. It's not exactly the position he was aiming for, but it'll work just the same. Using magic and slight movements of his hips, he angles his member into position behind the griffon and grinds and rubs the head against her vulva.

She flinches, moving ahead. It's not a very thick vulva, and it may take some effort to force it in
"If you'd rather we lay down... Or even if I be on top..."

He nods, bends down so his head is near her neck, presses his member's tip against her head, and pushes, pressure building in the region until it finally releases as the head enters her.

>>126366
She moves forward, almost walking off, and pushing her head upwards. Before, Silver couldn't really bend down to her head. Now, she almost presses her head into him.
But though she jolts, she moves back into place. Silver can feel it, smooth, wet, war walls that press against his penis with substantial force
"Uh - uck"
She opens her mouth, and stares forward. It's like the whiskey all over again

He kisses her neck, and thrusts further inside of her. She can feel exactly where the ridges of his head are inside her vaginal cavity, and feel them push against her walls whenever he slides back and forth in his thrusting. Eventually, he reaches the medial ring, and pushes harder, the ring grinding against her vaginal lips for a moment before sliding inside with the rest of his member.

>>126370
This griffin is tight for some reason. There is no movement inside her, no "winking" action, and no contraction. But she's not quite opened up. Her forebody pulls forward, then presses back and moves around.
"Guh! Ah!"
She grunts ad moans, before using her beak to grab a blanket, and bite on it, using it to stifle the sounds out of her mouth as she closes her eyes an yells into the blanket

Silver looks concerned at the griffon below him, wondering if this is normal for female griffons or if this is something to be worried about.
Onwards he goes, moving inside her inch by inch, thrusting his hips back and forth. He goes in as far as he can, then hilts.
"Сладкая Селестия...you are tight. Are you sure you are okay?"

"Guck"
She grunts as he sticks his medial right, then the rest of his penis into her. At his question, she spits the blanket out, and twists her head up to look at him
"I got stabbed today. I killed somegriff, or took part in it. I can do war, and I can certainly handle love making. I just haven't done it very many times before. Okay?"

He smiles softly at her, and kisses her on the base of her neck.
"I just want to make sure you are comfortable."
He resumes thrusting, sliding out to the medial ring, then back to the base. In and out, in and out. The thrusts are at a steady pace, and powerful. She can feel his balls come up with each thrust and slap against her pubic area.

It takes a moment, but she seems to get more used to it, she raises her fore as she scratches her claws against the bed
She even starts to press her hind into him. he vaginal walls become wetter, as she lubricates better, and Silver moves in her more easily

Silver's glad she seems to be enjoying it, and keeps the pace up. A squirt of prejaculate splatters against her walls, helping to add to the lubricant. He lets out a soft moan.
"This feels wonderful, Jubilosa."

The griffin's insides don't stretch out much nor does she clamp down. But it's a pleasant feeling as she sands up, and presses her rump into him, trying to move with his thrusts. She scratches at the bed with her claw

He pauses in his thrusting to move and gyrate his hips around and enjoy the feeling of her insides, before restarting with improved speed and gusto.
"Hoo...I hope I will not finish before you have reached climax."

Silver lets out a grunt, and lets out a breath through his nostrils across her neck. She can feel his Sword quiver inside of her.
"Why? Are you close?"
His hips continue to thrust in and out of her. The lewd sounds of their congress stand out: the wet squelches of air being forced out of her around his member, the shlorps of fluids as he moves around inside of her, the slaps of his balls against her pubic region.

She was kind of tall to begin with, making mounting her difficult. But she arches higher, pressing her back up against his chest, into him, pressing him upwards even. Higher and higher until
"Ryah!"
She growls and suddenly stretches out forward, scratching the bed repeatedly, and furiously, disrupting the bed covers, the blanket, and almost ripping it, as it is pulled upwards and pills under her, until she is just scratching at the mattress. She moves almost like and angry animal, and surely growls loud enough to be heard outside the room. She pulls forward far enough for Silver's penis to be pulled out past the medial ring - but not all the way

"Oup!"
The pony is taken by surprise, forcing him to grip around Jubilosa to keep from falling backwards. His wet member, still partially inside of her, is chilled slightly by the cool air. He decides to slide back inside of her, the lubricant making it a far easier venture this time around.
"Are you...okay?"

He complies, resuming his thrusting. He slowly gets himself back up to the speed he was at before. He starts to pant and grunt with every few thrusts.

His thrusts start to get more needy, shorter and faster than normal. He looks down at the griffon.
"I am..." *pant, pant* "...getting close. You?"

"Oh, that's...what that was."
He focuses on getting his breathing under control, and slows his thrusts for a short time. He hilts in her, once he thinks he's ready, and starts back up again with long, powerful thrusts. The sounds resume with the thrusting:
slap, plap, splap, plapp

"Guh!"
She closes her beak tightly, looking ahead. Then she lowers her head down, closing her eyes. Breathing in and out, in and out, opening her beak....
Then another burst of energy, stretching her claws out, and clawing the bed, with a "Raw raw"
This time, she moves her hind back with Silver's outward pull, to keep his penis inside her. He can feel a slight tightening in her grip

"Nng...here comes...Ngah!"
He hilts deep inside of the griffon, and releases the load he had been holding in. His balls clench as they release the foal batter they had been producing into Jubilosa's pussy. It comes in ropes and splatters against her walls and into her womb.

One rope after another fills her to the brim. Some small amount is squeezed out of her hole between her walls and his member. It tappers off after eight ropes after his balls are suitably emptied, and Silver relaxes on top of the griffon.

There's a very wet *SHLORP* as he steps backwards and pulls out of Jubilosa, leaving her gaping slightly. His member, coated with cum and juices, twitches underneath him, slowly softening up.
"I am good to hear...I thought my first time with griffon was amazing."

Right as Silver pulls out, she shoots foward, letting out a growl like sound, rushing forward until she meets to the end of the bed (not far away at all), and twists on it to face him, standing there precariously. She swings at his head, though she is so close the claw almost goes past him. Nevertheless, her claw swipes the left side of his face with a "BAM," though it is greatly softened by the think layer of bandages around her claw

She sits inside, scooting over a little as Iron enters. She doesn't move all the way but presses into him. Shortly after the door is closed, the vehicle accelerates ahead in the wobbly, almost reckless fashion that seems typical of the taxi drivers, with a sudden breaking stop at one point, where he leans out of the window to yell "Hey! get off the road ya drunk bastards!" at some jay walking pedestrians. The buildings go from tenements, to row houses, to a few larger department stores of brick facade and two or three stories. Then he stops:
"Here we are. Hotel Indigo."
It's a yellowish brick building of a sort of rectangular construction that is technically octagonal, and brown frills where each story divides. The entrance on the street corner is a revolving door, and there are yellow lights above both walls.
"Four bits. And enjoy your night with your lady" he says with a smile

Assuming Iron pays the taxi driver, Sands takes the leg, and the two try to fit through the revolving door, get stuck, try again, get stuck, then Sands just goes through on her own. When they enter, they see a some what open area, with tile floor, a marble counter to the side that angels diagonally after a few feet, behind which is a receptionist mare unicorn with her brown hair in a bun and off-white coat, a hallway to the left beyond the counter, and to the right, a two story open air area with seats, what looks like a bar still tended by a stallion, a railing of a second floor visible, and a stairway near the center that connects to the second floor

The hallways have a pinkish carpet, and walls with a floral design wall paper halfway up, and off-white beneath. There's a label for stairs soon enough - though it's a bit of a trek up three flights of stairs. This enters into a hallway with peach colored carpet, and then down the hallway until it dead ends at a door. Room 412.
Unlocking the door, and going inside, Iron can see a decently sized room, with a dresser, radio, table, big curtian-covered windows that show city lights beyond, a doorway on the left and somewhat behind leading into what must be a bath room, to the right another set of windows that seem to look into a courtyard, and in the center of it all, a giant bed with red sheets that is almost a heart shape, and both red and white pillows. The floor is maroon carpet, and the walls are a dull bronze underneath off-white

The top layer of the mattress, or whatever they put on it, is rather soft, giving way a couple inches before Iron feels firmer resistance. The bed is not pointed at the bottom - rounded, rather, but it is clearly wider near the top

"Not bad." A pause
"Too bad we didn't save any of that whiskey"

Her body is thin almost like a greyhound, and covered in a soft, white fur that extends longer than that of most mares, though it's still somewhat wet. She's bandaged for burns, most notably in the area of her left shoulder, but there are no injuries lower on her body, and Iron finds a nice spot above her ray-like cutie mark
"So Champagne? Or do you want to get right into it?"

She walks a little further away to the dresses, to pick up a brass colored semi circle with circles on each side in green aura, while using a hoof to move along still another wheel on the base of the contraption
"Yes? Room service? I know it's late! Can we get some champagne? I know it's late but we just got out of my wedding reception. Pretty please? You would keep a poor mare without champaigne on her wedding night, would you? Thank you, dear."

It doesn't take very long, before there is a knock on the door, White Sands walks up, opens the door, and meets a yellow stallion with red, curly mane
"Champaigne for the newly weds"
"Yes"
"It's 20 bits"
She takes some bits from Iron
"And here's a tip"
He says "Have a lovely night" as she closes the door before he's completely finished
It's a slender green bottle with a brown label. She goes up to a set of cabinets, pulls out two glasses, and then tries to open the bottle, taking more time and struggling more to open a bottle with magic than Iron might expect, before getting it open with a delightful smile on her face.
She pours a glass, then another glass, and immediately starts to drink it

"Likewise, my love," Iron reciprocates as he half-lids his eyes, stretching on the bed as force of habit. "I wonder what ever happened to that loose changeling, however," he muses curiously "would she be stalking ponies at the streets in disguise, following ponies to their homes to have their way inside? Maybe nabbing the younger kin into eternal coitus?" The native shakes his head. "I cannot seem to get that thought out of my head."

“Then let me replace it with a different thought”

She turns back to him, giving him a smile, and perks her tail high. She walks with him, or ahead of him if Iron likes, opening a door into a room of beige tile, a large tub - kind of like the one in Maakie's apartment - and a big shower with glass door and marble sides for the first two feet.
Sands looks down at her cloth bandages, already wet, before evidently deciding not to touch them. She looks back to Iron
"Ready?"

Iron, contemplating the room for a bit, decides to go towards the tub, reminding him most of the lakes back at his tribe, only artificial.
Stepping into it, Iron looks expectantly at Sands, both out of a desire to share a bath and a silent request for her to activate it.

She looks back for a moment in nigh irritation, but drops this, entering the tub, and turning on the water, adjusting the nobs for the temperature. Iron may notice that her prefered water temperature is warm. Rather warmer than normal, and the water does indeed get warm. This changes considerably when the water gets up to her legs, when she makes it much colder
"You, this thing should also shoot out jets of airbubbles" she says to him

Looking disappointedly at seeing Sands leave, Iron's face turns fiery as he first unclasps and leaves the belt out of the water, followed by doing his best to wash himself up at almost record speeds, now determined to make up for his albeit small mistake, making large splashing noises as he practically tumbling around inside the tub to ensure no grime sticks to his coat, making sure his equipment was properly washed specially.

She comes back in, almost confused, drinking again. She tries to come back into the tub, sitting up on her hind, with her shoulder and foreleg - the areas most burned - up out of the water, with her lower body in the water

Iron stops, now belly up somewhat immersed into the water, feeling slightly embarassed if his small blush is anything to go by.
"I was expecting you to skip it altogether, considering its effects on your skin," he admits before slowly pushing his body towards her, presenting his two forelegs. "How about a helping hoof?"

With the permission given, Iron's hooves start to trail around Sands' body, gently and carefully sliding his hooves around the grime, avoiding the burns, from her puffy mane, to fluffy cheeks, down into her soft tuft. "I bet you will look as bright as a star after all this muck is off of you," he comments giddily as he works her body.

With a magic aura, she hoofs over a cream colored bar of soap, and a bottle of shampoo. She also presses a button, and
"boosh"
Jets of water and air shoot in from the side, turning it into a more formal hot-tub

Lightly putting his tongue out in minimal disgust over the shampoo bottle's taste, Iron dutifully spreads both soap and shampoo along her tuft once more, using his big head and shoulders to support Sands into a somewhat standing position as he does his hoofwork.
His gaze is rather focused at the end of her body, seemingly avoiding that section for the time being.

Noticing a lack of a reaction aside from his urges becoming ever so stronger, he slides his forelegs further in, now seeking her rump as his head starts to slowly sink into the water in order to rack up some small arousal by gently kissing one of her teats in his journey towards the main prize.

You were correct, don't worry.
Seeing there was no harm done after a while if her kissing was any indication, he decides to start thrusting with all his might, slamming himself inside of her with a mix of careful yet firm power and speed as he kissed on.

She jolts up a little, again arching closer. It's not hard to trust all the way in - it seems she still has quite a bit of semen in her from their last session, which makes her lubricated and feel looser. She wraps her hind legs around him, though of course he still moves in and out of her with great speed. Her left foreleg now moves around his neck, and she moves her head while kissing him

With a gasp at the sudden clamp and release of his equipment, Iron looks at Sands' gaze, figuring this is going to be the endgame for the both of them.
With that thought in mind, the native slowly unsheathes his length save for the tip, gently hugged by the unicorn's entrance, before slamming down once more, restarting his pace once more.
He had to give it his all. Do it for her.

Iron's breath was getting ragged once more as the trick did wonders for his length, repeatedly tanking wave after wave of pleasure as he aimed not to let up on his mission to prove his worth.
However, the faintest buildup was felt by the native, realizing he may not have long before his dam burst as the battering ram continues to rock on Sands' gate.

The battering ram takes damage. Eerytime he trusts into her, she tries to clamp down on him, tightening herself and increasing the friction. She can't cycle it as quickly as Iron can trust, and she gets it wrong a few times - clamping as he enters, not as he pulls out - but it all serves to stimulate hhim, to rub against him with tightening walls, lubricated with her fluids and his own previous cum. Likewise, she attempts to use her back to help thrust against him, pressing towards him, letting her vulva rub against the base of his penis when he thrusts in, and pulling further away as he pulls further away. She's given up trying to catch his moving balls, but he can feel the edge of the magic as it rubs herself.
She grits her teeth, staring at him and making "Ugk" sounds at the ends of the deeper thrusts. She won't lad much longer either. But she's determined to maintain her own grip, like the death spiral of mating eagles

The time has come for the wall to burst open by the fire of trebuches.
His breath now were struggling to keep composure as his thrusts became more erratic, wildly bouncing harder and deeper than ever before at a still considerably fast pace. Sands could feel him flaring up inside her to what soon will become the next batch of ejaculate straight inside her womb.
"...here it comes, love," he mutters out as the huffing and puffing became somewhat audible.

She gets off beat, clamping down at off times, then just staying clamped down. Her legs start to loosen around him, then they all tighten around him as her head eases back. She closes her eyes and lets out a moan that sounds nearly like a howl.

Despite all that, he remains standing, albeit wobbily, his body starting to trail from side to side.

The emotion starts to recede into something calmer, less intense. He exchanges breath with White Sands who kisses him, and stares into his eyes. It's almost dizzying, giving the room the impression of spinning. Sands eyes glow, or seem to, as time nearly suspends

Iron blinks, seemingly stunned that her eyes glowed once more as he blinks slowly.
(Do mares' eyes always glow like that after coitus?) he thinks to himself as the breaths are exchanged calmly (It seems I might have exerted myself.)

After a moment of breathing in, she breathes out through his mouth, and Iron is released. Or at least, there is a sensation of being released. She pulls away
"Iron. What are we doing tomorrow?"

She pulls herself back, and sits up against the head rest of the bed, which is covered in fluffy cloth. Perhaps it is this movement which causes Iron to finally pull out of her. There is a lot of semen. She looks around the room, and sort of in the distance, pulling her teeth back as she rubs her hooves together, evidently thinking

Shaking his head, he simply swooped himself under the covers, with only his head sticking out. "It happened two times already, and one of them I was not induced in that super herb stuff," he replies, still somewhat curious.

Iron hums softly, feeling something isn't quite right still, but the little ear poke and twitch routine was enough for to quell his open questioning for now before wrapping Sands into a nice, little bearhug under the sheets.

"Geh"
Iron seems to have made his point. She's almost like a giant teddy bear though
She looks back, irritated, then moves her mane out of her face with her left hoof, and changes her voice to something higher, and sweeter, and looks back to Iron
"Where are you taking me tomorrow?"

"The goods... that's right"

She's actually rather easy for Iron to move around, between his massive strength, her small size, and the bed taking some of the weight.
Still pretty soft, too

"I know all this fur is definitely going to make me feel better," he answers dreamily, stuffing his face in fluff "so I do not want to see you out of bed until I wake up, for my health, of course."
With that, the native huddles ever closer to the mare, huggling the mare to a ridiculous extent as he sighs happily.

She pushes away, not far enough to break free, but enough for her to look right into his face across from her, their nuzzled partly crossed, as he continues to hug her.
“Of course”
She places a hoof on his shoulder, then she pulls her muzzle a bit further away, her nose touching his nose, and her eyes locked into his. She opens her mouth slightly, and kisses Iron, keeping her eyes locked.
In some strange synchronization of the drugs, the emotions, and the alcohol, Iron feels him self in a daze. Images shift, merge, and split apart. Pink emeralds dance about, and he feels almost as if he is floating, separated from his body. This lasts a few seconds, before he feels himself in a definite trance, unable to move. His breathing becomes slower, lights dim and colors become less vibrant, before finally, he feels as if he falls out of his body, beneath himself, and beneath the bed.
With that, he falls asleep with her in his arms

In those final moments, there is some vague feeling of dread, or indescribable terror, as if an intruder had suddenly entered the room. There is no rationale behind it, indeed, Iron can see no one in the room besides the glowing green eyes of his love directly across from him. Iron cannot take his pupils off of hers, though illusions of colors and shapes that dull and grey dance about in the corner of his vision. It’s not clear that Iron could look away if he wanted to. His eyes are locked, his mouth is closed in place, and he could not jump up or scream, or indeed react at all, if any threat were real.
His heart pumps for a moment in adrenaline, and Iron feels very much as if he were a wind-up toy, maliciously wound by a child who then proceeded to hold on to the limbs, so as to prevent the toy from functioning by halting its movement. But, like the toy, he feels himself manually wound down as his heart beat becomes slower and slower, the energy leaving him, until he can only fall asleep.

She lays to the right of Silver almost like a giant cat, back arched towards him, her left claw under her body and her right off to the side, with both hind legs angled away from Silver on the right side of her body, making contact with the wall. She moves her head to him in surprise with her eyes going wide
"Is... that a normal question in pony culture?" She blinks
"I suppose I should answer you. We are close enough now. Not really. Or depends on how many you consider to be 'many'"

He reaches a forehoof around her to pet the back of her neck. He smiles at her.
"Apologies if it is uncomfortable question. I am just curious about you...and maybe little curious about how this compares to standard fare for griffons."

"No, I suppose you can ask. I've had three partners. If you really want to compare..."
She closes her eyes at the moment the pets come down. She looks more like a white-tailed eagle, a golden eagle, or even a hawk with her brown feathers

"I kind of want to talk about it. I haven't had that many people to talk to, to be honest, since I left El Campo. I mean, really talk to. He was a Griffin named Corazón de León. I know him as a child, occassionally seeing him on his parent's sheep farm. Once or twice I'd meet him while visiting his sister. It was when we were together in Secondary School that I really saw him. To me at least, he really embodied the virtue in his name. A kind of fearlessness. Strength of will. I would often take a little extra time to go by the store where he was working after school to talk to him. Eventually, he noticed me too. It didn't just happen, I had to kind of position myself to it. But he did start to reciprocate. We ran together in the Minotaur race... I remember that day well. I did not follow him into the militia after we left school. I got my courier job instead. The males had to join, the females didn't. So I didn't. I didn't care for the discipline, or the time. I was young then. I suppose I still am. I figured I had plenty of time. I didn't make any haste in trying to really be with him. We liked each other... but we wren't really 'dating' in any really formal way. We didn't start dating until almost The War.
You see, in the parochial schools and the religion of Eyr, Griffins are supposed to pick a single partner to mate with for life. They weren't as stringent about it as the followers of Boreas up north, and the syndicaist saw that practice as outdated, as being a way of males keeping down females while being hypocrites. To be honest I agred more with the syndicalists. But there was something really special, romantic in that idea - one mate for life. So once we got the news that Corazon was being mobilized, we were mated. It was secret. I wasn't really bethrothed, but I was his. You know, I really thought that 'life' would be a much longer period of time...."
She stops at this point, to look off into the end of the room, either to the immediate right of the window, or out the window at the few lights still on outside. She breathes in, then out, in three compete cycles before continuing
"I don't regret losing my virginity to him at all. Not in the least. The second griffin..." She breathes in "When I lived in Midoria I was living alone. I didn't go with any friends of know many griffins there. There was this one griffin I would see sometimes around the lower floor of the office building while doing small errands like delivering drafts of papers. I talked to him once or twice. So I didn't really think of him as a stranger when he approached me at a cafe. He was confident, and forthright. I had more than a little wine. The Syndicalist had this idea that females can sleep with any griffin they like, and in that moment, I liked him... I don't know if I quite 'regret' it, but I sort of do. We talked once after that."

He starts thrusting, going in to the medial ring, then almost entirely back out.
"I really did stuff you...I suppose at end of this I will have to replace every drop we spill."

When he gets nearly all the way into her, she jumps forward a little - not enough to get off of him - and turns her head and fore with and angry "Caw!" and a swipe with her right foreclaw

From behind, he has a nice look at her form - long and slender. A pretty nice back. She stretches out, letting him go deeper inside her, though she winces for a while. She tries to push back against him, and go towards him, twisting her body beneath him, meaning that even as he thrusts forward, he hits her walls often at an angle as she moves her body under him
After a point, she clamps her beak down, and slowly starts to scratch the bed underneath him

He hilts deep inside her, lets out a whinny, and releases another load of foal batter inside of her. Her abdomen distends slightly as more and more seed fills her, replacing that she lost and then some. His hips pump with each rope he shoots, and while there is less than the previous union, there's still quite a bit.

Our first game was back under the name of Mixed Nuts, which is near the beginning of mlpol under Brie as GM, so we have been playing for a while... well, the others have, I joined at the end of that campaign. This one has been around for relatively shorter, but still a decent amount of time. And you can be sure we will still be around. We aren't going anywhere.

How much time has passed? I'm not even sure what season it is anymore. A year ago for players it was late autumn in-game. Most forms of fiction skip time to make viewing convenient; this is precisely the opposite.

So I've finally written my "character bible" and I look forward to joining you in May or June. If I join any earlier I'm going to hit a brick wall of commitments then and I've seen how annoying it is when a party member is routinely absent. I hope "Parvel the Bard" who appeared for one week doesn't mind my replacing his position
Aside from my observation of your game and a couple of wiki-walks I have absolutely zero experience with DnD. Do you where I can read da rulez and is there an equine version for certain rules?

In doing so I completely overlooked this for physical characteristics: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Equine_conformation
It's actually really good at giving different options for what characters look like rather than having cookie-cutter ponies. I have no idea how to handle a facial description in the context of MLP, though.

Long ago our empire ruled much of Zebrica, before being conquered by Saddle Arabia, and ruled as part of the Caliphatefor hundreds of years. First, as a province, then as a vassal as the Caliphate declined. We held our culture, our language, and our worship. Shah Nazier Quirtar broke his vassalage with the declining Caliphate a hundred and 50 years ago, thus creating an independent Shahdom of Karkadannistan. We were close to the Storm King's realms, and were one of the first he conquered, as well as supplying much for his armies afterwards. It didn't go very well... But... what else?

She is a little angry looking, sitting in her chair. She is completely naked, although an area of shorter fur on her neck makes it clear she would almost always wear Jewelry

Dark Star leans into the large mare, and hugs her. She flinches a little from surprise, but otherwise lets the stallion hug her
"It's just" She seems to sniffle
"This whole experience has been humiliating. It was so before in Karkardannistan, but it was so much worse here"
There is definitely a sniffle at the end of this

Khoi turns around and looks to him. She waves, with a split forehoof. Johann is surprised, and turns his bird neck up to him, then moves his fedora up to have a more firm view. Blue Skies is the last to notice, looking up shortly after Johann does.

Blue Skies, who looks like a dark brown griffin, points a claw at Johann
"HE is denying the genocide in Hellquill!"
He holds up his claws in an almost "don't shoot" fashion, waving them.
"I never said no ponies were killed, I am just saying there was no deliberate mass destruction of their culture. Or if there was, the numbers are greatly exaggerated. Or if there were mass killings, then it was a rational response to rebellion and potential fifth columnists"

>who looks like a dark brown griffin
Dunno how she accomplished that. I've had a theory that she is secretly a changeling who is so good and disciplined at what she does that she's undetectable even when she's taking love. She had mentioned "passive feeding" by changelings before and her tussle with a succubus suggests that the latter may have assumed her identity. Probably best to ignore this as the plot twist is too good to spoil.

"Excuse me"
Then she makes a batting motion with her claw towards Khoi, whom she makes stand up and let her out. She walks out, and then further away towards the corner

She tries to kiss back. She's still in griffin form, thus marking the first time ever that Dark Star has kissed a griffin. The beak feels a little weird, being not so soft. The feathers aren't too bad to hug though

I'm pretty sure the view of the audience in the bar at daytime is that Dark Star took a griffon from a table to a corner, they exchanged necklaces, they started making out and he groped her belly. Both DS and BS must have really high secret luck values to not get kicked out of establishments for PDAs.

1. In his first instance there he gave the owner 1000 bits, and in the time since he's brought in new customers. He can literally have oral sex in a booth and not get thrown out
2. He's literally had oral sex in a booth and not been thrown out
3. I know it's kind of cheese, but we're going with "walked out of sight" for the kissing. The easiest way to do this is to go just through the door that's on the far right after entering, which enters into the foyer for the section containing the rooms upstairs

Fair enough. The disadvantage of observing and not participating means that in trying to understand the whole story I miss key details. For example, I thought the whole jungle sequence with Iron was just a dream as he slept on Cauldron's couch, because I hadn't picked up the sudden transition between scenes due to overlapping story arcs. My trying to be pedantic only serves to annoy because of that.

Actually, no. That's exactly what the Jungle sequence with Iron was. Iron's player was more confused than you were. And the exact location of where the kissing was taking place wasn't specified so that can either backfire significantly or be completely fine depending on where it takes place

Whoops. Even I don't get dream sequences that prolonged or intense so after a while I thought, "this has to be real and I just missed the train ride to the jungle." I daresay your worldbuilding is too good, because you constructed a complex narrative and motivations that Iron's simple native mind couldn't have come up with on its own. All these stories are really entertaining, but they mess with my head because I try to place things precisely in terms of time and space and linear narrative, and the nature of a split-party campaign doesn't lend well to that.

No, I get what you are saying. It was initially intended to just be a dream sequence, then it got longer. Rather than doing the loose physics of a dream I wanted it to be very logical and naturalistic. Like there is a scene where Pear is explaining the erosion of limestone caves from an underground river, as well as all of the history, and it's all scientific and logical well beyond what Iron's dreams would logically be. Besides this, the quest lasted months IRL, and so I figured Iron's player would be pissed if he completely lost everything when his character woke up. So I figured that at minimuum he needed to keep the progress his character made with ethe Cauldron Character, I needed it to still be a dream, and I needed some way for the dream world to be as real as the real world. So what I came up with was that Princess Luna has taken Iron, Black Cauldron, and perhaps Pear Faucet, and placed them in a dream sequence set in the future to show what the Pear character intended, so as to warn somepony of the coming threat. This was kind of problematic because the inclusion of a cannon princess made it seem very urgent and thus could override other quests I wanted them to go on, but it seemed like the least bad solution to a problem that came up after months of making things up on the spot

She lowers her horn as she exits. It’s not strictly necessary, but it certainly seems so. The streets are almost empty, and lights shine illuminate what the full moon does not. It’s an uneventful walk to what must be the diner. Midnight can see empty seats with purple seats. There are few creatures inside, though among them is one of those dreaded bats.
No pony greats then, though they find a seat easily enough

“Is... this where the common ponies eat? I guess it is... clean. Yes, it is clean. And not too rowdy. I suppose it is open at this time... Very well, let us go in”
She enters and sits down in in a booth across from a Midnight.
There are menus on the table, and no server as of yet. She looks around, inspecting the scene in the restaurant, a bit confused

It would be best to talk to you in private on Discord or a better chatbox. I seriously need advice regarding stats/mechanics and I have narrative ideas needing your approval but which I don't to spoil for other players. No rush in doing this though, and for now my spare time has to be used thinking this through/catching up with the rest of the campaign
Also you're Perry Mason, you're already way above me. Combine that with enough spare time to run a campaign and it's practically a dream life.

“Surely, I must try some”

“Oh... yes” the small unicorn mare at the front desk answers. “Just a moment, let me contact the drone in charge” she walks off, and it’s a minute. Two minutes, then theee. But she returns with a blue identification card, a set of shoes, and a saddle bag,
“Here are his personal effects. I trust you are with ‘The Bat’?”

She does slow down when more food arrives, chewing more and swallowing more. She stairs at the fruit, then picks up and apple and bites into it, then more and more, before finishing the apple - seeds, core, and stem

"Hope you mares had a nice dinner"
He pulls the check off of his back
"Here ya' go"
It's 14 bits in total, sort of pricey until you consider the sheer quantity of food purchased. And of course it's one of those situations where you have to explicitly ask for the check to be split before they will split it

Look, it isn't about how much time you have, but what you do with it. In that time the southern group has had 12 individual combat sequences, including two with more than a dozen enemies, has killed 32 enemies (35 with the hellhounds), wounded and captured 33 plus another perhaps one dozen, tossed one in a garbage chute and befriended one. There are eight new NPCs that have been given considerable time to develop, plus three major villains, five minor antagonists that have had decent dialogue, and three characters met only in passing... five if you count the two officers that were introduced towards the end. This is on top of exploring four large structures entering dozens of rooms, learning all about the activities of a criminal enterprise as well as an associated religious cult, learning about the cultures, nations and political situations of a half dozen foreign cultures NPCs come from, as well as the history of the structure and the neighborhood - also four sex scenes thus far. The quest was stretched out for longer than I intended because of hiatuses that lasted probably at least two collected months, and further delays for player absences that could last weeks at a time. The dialogue alone probably would have taken up more time in real life than the six hours or so the quest nominally lasted in game time, it is true, and most GMs would have probably stretched it out to two days minimum in game time. But I had written the quest as taking place on the night of the full moon when all members of the cult were gathered for a sacrifice, and thus it took place in a single night.
