"Thank you"
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

And she smiles back, muzzle aimed down, looking af midnight, before placing her view on the strawberries. She picks one up in the aura, sniffs it, then takes a small bits, and in a second and a half bites it repeatedly, placing the whole thing in her mouth, and picking up another one

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

Spark has purchased a train ticket for the pony that was previously kept as prisoner, and is sending him on his way

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

.... Maybe

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.

They walk down the half-lit, mostly empty streets, down two blocks, then three blocks, back to the tavern. When they enter, Meadows makes a special note

So having determined the location(?) of the incident that led to Zu Lang turning into a wtf? along with company, Brie would first want to ascertain anyone else's interest in stabbing things in the face. :3

The nymphs are somewhat cowed - Kerr included, and remain in the carriage. Kerr is in a corner, while Wesley hides under a blanket. Fun and Seb don't fair much better, trying to stay down low on the carriage seats and floorboards respectively

Johann is the first to answer: "The representatives of the Blackhooves were supposed to give e a room. They've stepped out for a moment"

Mala sits down, looking at Midnight
"No..."

Khoi shakes her head

Undertoe does not look at Midnight as she answers, but says
"I can buy a hotel room if you will let me go"

And so Onyx finds a place that is safe from from both the drones and the unknown horrors of the forest... unless the Carriage is swiped out fro over him by a mighty, alien claw, or if the nymphs come down to feed on him like massive, parasitic wasps... best not to think about it, and get some sleep. It's more than a little cold though

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
