>>125861"Ah Alfalfa is a very respectable crop. Im sorry will you excuse us one moment? my Teammate had something he wished to discuss."
>>125859"No Shit?"
he smiles
"Fantastic."
>>125863Silver can't help but smile a little.
"It is your call. We can also try to gather everyone when you are ready to leave. We can head to Tavern for some much-needed drinks."
>>125865"have you seen mala? im sure he would like to know."
>>125866"He is somewhere here, we will have to look for him."
>>125864"I'll Take care of all the paperwork. see if you can find him."
>>125864"Hey there, what was it i needed to sign again?"
>>125868Silver nods, and begins to look around the building for Mala.
>>125868The stallion searches through his saddle bag
"A release form. Let me make one here"
>>125870Going downstairs one flight, Silver can see that a Zebra is missing from the center of the hall. There is only a partial trail of blood, leading in the direction of the Infirmary and the publishing center
>>125872Silver follows the trail.
>>125872"Alright,my friend. take your time."
>>125873It'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
>>125874He 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"
>>125875"...well, that works to disguise it, I suppose."
Silver is a little disgusted by the sight.
>>125876A door pops open, and a red, black and brown muzzle sticks out, followed by a head
"Oh good. That is your voice"
Mala slinks out. He wears his saddle bag stuffed with a blanket. His belly is noticeably distended, and he has blood around his muzzle and neck
>>125875"Seems easy enough."
He takes the pen and starts writing.
>>125877Silver points to his muzzle and neck, when he sees Mala's state.
"You have little 'something' in that area."
>>125878It'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?
>>125879"I know..." He gets out, leans up next to a sink, grabs a hand towel, turns the water, wets it, and cleans himself
"I wasn't done though...."
>>125880"Apologies, my friend, but we are getting ready to leave."
>>125880Dark Star thinks on it for a second...He then writes all the names down.
>>125881"Can I cut some pieces to go, quickly?... It's such a waste, I think. This one alone could yield one hundred pounds if you just took the prime parts. And every part is edible. To a gnoll, it is. Every part except the hair and the intestine contents, and even then those are occasionally eaten. And then there are dozens of dead..."
>>125882It is all written down, and then turned over to Parade Pass
"Alright. Wee'll still want statements from 'ya later, but so long as you have your badge and she" he points to Blue Skies " has that dossier, we can let you go for the night"
>>125883Silver looks back at the zebra, and lets out a small sigh.
"Alright, go ahead."
>>125883"Thank you my friend. If you ever need anything let me know."
He shakes hoofs with him and then leaves to find silver and mala,with blue skies
>>125884He 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 puts pieces on some kind of wrapping paper, and places raw Zebra flesh into his bag
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?"
Blue Skies follows behind him
He doesn't know where they went
[Read more] >>125886Hmmmm does he see any signs?
>>125886He pets his gnoll friend as he trots out of the infirmiry with him.
"It will be fine. We talked with Customs, they know you are with us. Nothing will happen to you."
>>125887One Zebra on the ground wher ethere were two before, and a brief blood trial in the direction of the Infirmary and printing room
>>125888Gnoll is petMala 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
He follows Silver, with loaded bags
>>125888>>125887Silver trots out with Mala, who is carrying a saddle bag and is covered in a blanket
He looks down longingly at the remaining zebra corpse
>>125889Kek, I know right? It's like none of it phases him [Read more] >>125892>>125887"I found Mala. Are others still upstairs?"
>>125893"Good,Good. Yes they are all upstairs. I Got the Paperwork Filled out. we're all set."
>>125893Blue Skies, the griffin, responds
"Yes. Except for Iron. I haven't seen him."
Mala nudges Silver with a paw
>>125894"Alright, Good! I will gather others, then we will depart for Tavern. Drinks are on me tonight."
>>125892Silver heads upstairs to do just that, gathering everyone together to leave.
>>125893>>125896Upstairs there is Jubilosa, Khoi, then Loputu, Keskoo, Meadows, and Undertoe. Besides the two sacrifices who were rescued
Johann may or may not come back, and each of these has a different potential fate
>>125896"So Did you tell him,silver?"
>>125897Hmm...well, the sacrifices should get to the hospital ASAP, so hopefully the authorities can take care of that. Everyone except Loputu can go to the Tavern, even Johann if he wants.
>>125898"Hmm? Oh, he knows. I also almost forgot, here, take this, to pay for drinks."
Silver gives Dark Star a stack of 100 Bits in notes.
"I need to take Loputu home, to his family. I will join you all when I am done."
>>125899"Alright my friend. Stay Safe."
He shakes silver's hoof
>>125900>>125899Alright.... So which creatures are going with who and where?
>>125901Mala would come with me i assume.
>>125900And thus they shake hooves, saying goodbye for the moment.
>>125901The sacrifices are staying with the medics in order to be transferred to the hospital. Everyone except Loputu is going with Dark Star. Loputu is going with Silver, so he can escort him home.
>>125902Mala looks up at Dark Star, and blinks, with his big brown eyes. He's covered in a blanket
>>125903>>125902Alright
The Mare says
"We can take these two to the hospital, yes. Though it looks like they've already gotten a lot of treatment already"
The Stallion aks,
"Ay, you need a ride?"
[Read more] >>125904"I suppose it is up to Loputu."
He turns to the colt, smiling at him.
"What do you think? Should we get ride, or would you rather I just took you home yourself?"
>>125906D'awww
He is pet, panting and moving his head up to embrace the soft-bottomed hoof
>>125905>pic related>>125904"Hmmm i think we might need a ride,a ride back to the eastside tavern."
>>125907He looks up to Silver, and smiles
"Either way. I don't think I've ridden in an automobile before... except for that one time I was rushed to the hospital after slipping and falling off a roof, but that doesn't count. We could also talk, if you want.
Then he looks over to Keskoo
"What will happen to her?"
