Up in the North, the ponies have successfully found who, or rather, what was damaging the mine. But their quest is not over, as they go to look for the source of the trouble. In Baltimare, Iron, Silver, and Dark Star enjoy the fruits of defeating the cultists, while Midnight herds the remaining rescues.

Iron simply listens with interest, actually hearing something informative on both this supposed danger and her potential past. "How cowardly," the native comments at this seemingly absurd background Sands is painting "but how can you be so sure?"

Iron hums softly as he made himself comfortable. "I will think about it," he offers Sands "Anything else before I close my eyes for the rest of the day, most likely?"

"As I said, the guns are probably going to be necessary in the long run, so I did not," Iron replies "not that it would have given much profit, considering its specifics from what I have been told. The gems have been sold off, I trust Cauldron can exchange the bonds without issue and the fluids I would rather not think too hard about, unless you have something in mind for them."

Silver has an...uneasy look on his face. He contemplates things for a few seconds, then looks at Keskoo.
"Alright. If you can stay here, look at various furnishings and pick out what you want to buy, I will go out to nearest cart dealership and buy cart for us to transport everything back to apartment."

Yeah, but he left it at the beach house, and it won't be able to handle all of the weight of the furniture we're gonna buy.
"I will be back soon."
Silver leaves her to browse the store's selection while he goes to a cart dealership for something that can carry everything.

Down the road, Silver goes through dense sets of buildings as if he would never find anything, until he encounters a store that does indeed have carts for sale inside, through a giant set of doors
Silver sees his options now. Larger wooden carts, often hooking up two ponies or more, made for industrial and agricultural purposes. Low to the ground, they would make it easier to load and unload
>>128197
She scrunches, then looks away
"Oh, alright. If you say so..."

True to Silver's word, he pays the 200 Bits then and there. Once it's payed, he hitches himself to it with the goal of taking it back to the furniture store.

Hitched up, Silver can feel that the thing is fortunately (mostly) balanced out by having four wheels, and so it doesn't weigh him down or pull him up. It's a little heavy in its own right, kind of difficult to get moving. But Silver gets it there, finding he has to park it essentially on the curb in front of the store

Keskoo is looking at tables, having found one with a darker color (that does not match the bed). Loputu is with her, and seems to be, or was, talking to her

Iron glances at Sands before lightly petting her head. "I would not worry about it, love," he utters calmly, grinning softly ",you will be able to do whatever you want soon. For now it is all about building up the skeleton for your definition of freedom."

She flinches back, closes her eyes, and her ears fall flat to her neck as Iron pets her head. She opens her eyes to look back at Iron thereafter. The ears return to a normal position after another few seconds. She blinks, but not not say anything in response

Figuring it'd be best to end this little conversation at a reasonably happy note, Iron retracts her hoof and slowly closes his eyes, losing himself in the comfort of both bed and completely normal unicorn. "Feel free to do whatever for now," his last words were "take some money if you want to, but not more than 500 bits, or else we will find it difficult to have a roof over our heads, alright?"

Grey Wolf:
"Why would you help them, and why would they send a pony?"
The white wolf tilts her head in intrigue
"Did they send you as an emissary to us?"
The grey wolf, as if in response to her says
"In all this time they have yet to send one"
>>128227
She turns back to look at him
"Well... there is this nice one here"
She walks over towards a night stand that is a little darker than the bed, but also is not coated in varnish. It has a few wheat ears as decoration
"And then there is a table here..."
She walks still further again to another table that is also somewhat dark, and has a corn ear underneath as decoration. It's not hard to imagine at least the table fitting into her room

"I help because both changelings and the ponies they have under forced labor need protection. Changelings seem to fear the woods, so I was a good choice. Unfortunately, they don't seem to be interested in diplomacy. However, I suppose I may represent ponies as they were and now are under new rulership."

The white wolf answers first
"As they should fear the woods. If they stay away, it is better for us. I am not so sure about the old ponies, but where is this 'new rulership'?"
The grey wolf then asks,
"What are they interested in, if not diplomacy?"

"Well, out of the woods is now Changeling land, where ponies are slave workers at best. Beyond the Changeling borders to the East is the occupation zone governed by New Mareland. Ponies are a bit more free there, but still under rule of our former colony."

"A bit funny how things have turned out for the ponies. They tried to be on top, now they are on the bottom again, Underneath even themselves, it seems"
The white wolfess listens intently
"So that is what has happened. We must be fortunate it has not spilled out more than it has."

"Well, that's how I would describe the thing. It appeared as a changeling before becoming a very large monster that attacked everypony. Three attacked us in total. If it wasn't for my friends, lots of ponies could have been killed. We figure the reason the changelings avoid the forests are because more are out here. But it is just an assumption."

The white wolf’s mouth comes partly open, showing a toothy mouth of large white and yellow canines. The grey wolf comments,
“Sounds like their tricks

“Ganawaabandamaw! Mikigaade!”
>>128247
She smiles, with a fairly toothy smile, and seems to wag her tail for a moment
“Yes! Let us get these”

Silver is able to find a sales associate quickly enough - a grey earth pony who seems rather young - and he helps to get another earth pony in to carry out the furniture once it is formally purchased

“Yes. I suppose I need those all things....”
Then she bends her neck to look right up to him
“But what is it I have to do for you?”

The ponies at the store lift the bed and other furniture, with Silver’s help if he demands it. Loputu joins in, helping with the table and placing it in the cart. They have ease enough carrying it, and loading it.

Silver's magic turns out to be valuable when loading the cart, keeping the items stable. Everything fits, albeit at odd angles. The cart is heavy and somewhat difficult to get moving. While actually pulling the cart doesn't require much effort, slowing it down, turning, or getting it up to speed takes considerable ponypower. One of the sales ponies recommends the location of a sewing shop, a little closer to Eastside.
It's a smaller shop than the furniture store they left, but when they enter, they see it has a nice supply of thread and yarn, buttons, but for the Cubrian pony, the most fascinating element is in the back
Keskoo walks slowly towards a set of sewing machines, keeping her distance, but always looking towards them with awe and reverence. She stops, looks at them, and then comes closer to one. With a glow of magic, she takes a thread cylinder, places it on the end of the machine pulls the string out, down, around the tension disk, through the recess on the side of the machine, and then back up around the lever.

"In the village and in my apartment? No. I never had a sewing machine. Everything was by hoof. But in the factory... we had sewing machines. They were bigger though. Not as shinny or white. I always wanted one for myself."
