She seems a little irritated
"Well where do you think they got it from? They are bandits, as bad as gnolls. And some of them are gnolls!"

She pauses, with a light exhale through her nostrils
"It's alright. I suppose I shouldn't be angry. It's just means a lot to me. But... if you could get it back"
She holds up a foreleg with her knee and thus her hoof, bending down
"Please?"

Blue Skies is sitting directly across from Johann. They are talking about something, or arguing, perhaps. Khoi is on the very edge of the table away from the two, not really a part of the conversation

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.

She turns to Johann
"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
"Alright. What is it?"

She looks at him with lidded eyes

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.

>>126803
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

She looks around, and blinks
“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

Her horn glows silver, and the menu comes up in magic aura of the same shining grey. She tries to open it, then turn is around, then turns it upside down. She sayings her eyes as the they move, first right to left, then left to right

Midnight begins to list off the menu items, giving descriptions if Meadows seems confused by anything she says.

At first, she looks at the menu as Midnight reads off, trying to read along herself. After a while she gives up. “Pan-cakes? What are those? May I try them? And some oats too? Perhaps some hay?”

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 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,

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.

She places a hoof up near her mouth.

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?"

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.

Midnight goes through the door, and though she does not know the room number, one upstairs has a door open. Inside, Meadows is looking around with a single bedstand, dresser, and one double bed that could maybe snugly fit both Meadows and Midnight, but certainly not without them touching
