She looks at if curiously
“Surely, I must try some”
With silver aura, she grabs the bottle, and carefully pours a small amount on a piece of already cut pancake. She picks it up, and chews on it, looking up as she does
“It’s... a nice, sweet taste, yes”

“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’?”

“Oh yes. It is… well I have had fan fancier meals, but after being so hungry for so long… all I had were the nuts ar the bar. Tough and salty. It is very nice”
She tries to maintain some semblance of propriety as she scoops up outs and hay and stuffs her mouth, while drowning her pancakes in syrup. She occasionally drinks from water
The stallion comes back
“Here you go”
He places apples, strawberries, oranges, and tangerines in plate on the table. He refills the waters

She returns to frantic paperwork

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

He is sitting inside the train station on a seat. He stands up and walks to Spark when he sees him
“Huh... you even got my saddle bag”
For once, he smiles

She sniffs the orange, before biting into it - no effort to remove the peel - and chewing, opening her mouth to say “This juiciness is delightful”
She looks back to Midnight, and licks up the orange juice that seeps from her mouth.

Imagine a predator, taking a strip of flesh in their mouth, with blood dripping down on either side. Imagine that, but it’s oranges instead. That’s what Meadows looks like at the moment

She drags the peel up with her magic, before putting it in her mouth and chewing. She moves on to a tangerine, which is decimated in two bites

She nods,
"They seem like nice ponies. Even if that 'Iron' fellow was a stand-offish."
When Midnight looks away, or looks for a waiter, she swears she can see Meadows picking up the plate and licking it, though when she looks back, she just hears a "clang!" and Meadows staring at her with an awkward, toothy, syrup covered smile

It looks as if Meadows has finished all of the food placed before her. Every grain of oats, straw of hay, drop of syrup, and has not spit out a single orange or apple seed. She licks her lips repeatedly to get the bits of syrup off.

"That would be lovely"
She places a hoof up near her mouth.
"I don't... normally eat so quickly, or necessarily so much. It's just been so long since I have eaten at all"
She messes around with her mane until she produces, from the back of her neck, a roll of paper bits, which she looks at
"Um... how do I pay?"
She looks up back at Midnight

It's the same stallion, who is probably the only waiter on duty after 2:00 AM
"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.
