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.

From behind him
"Can I help you?"
It's a stallion with a white coat with a hint of pink, and short amber mane, who wears galoshes and a thick rubber suit that is somewhat covered in grime. He seems ever so slightly annoyed

The unicorn jumps a little, startled. He turns around once his heartrate goes back down to normal.
"Oh, yes. You would not happen to be Loputu's master?"

Silver offers him a hoofshake.
"It is good to meet you. I am Silver Sword. I was hoping I could borrow Loputu for little bit, have him show me around Redheart."

He looks down at the hoof for a moment. A moment that drags on awkwardly, longer, until he uses his other hoof to remove the galoshe on his right hoof, and gives a single weak shake
"But I have missed him for many days now, and he is helping clean out my boat for the next trip"

He nods to Meri.
"Thank you again. As I said, we will nt be long."
He waves goodbye to Meri, and goes to the ship and down into the hold to look for Loputu.

Walking down to the pier, and by the [i][Bluffheadi Au/i], Silver must climb up into the trawler. However, as soon as he is on he can see that doors on the deck of the vessel are open, revealing a massive hold of stainless steel, which itself has a door at the bottom that is open exposing some pipes. Loputu is there, covered in grime and scrubbing the pipes. He is wearing a rubber suit and galoshes, like Meri. He does not immediately notice Silver, but instead scrubs

"Woah" He jumps up, turns around and falls on his hind, his forelegs behind him to keep him up
"Oh, you what are you doing here?"
Keskoo jumps over, onto the boat, and now looks down along with SIlver
Loputu jumps up onto his hooves
"And her"
He smiles
"Tere, Keskööpäike"

"Oh, well sure!" He goes over to the other side of the hold, jumps up on his hind legs and places his forehoovess over the edge, climbing out
"Just let me... ugh" he pulls a galosh of "get these off"
He removes the remaining pieces of his clothing, and smiles to Silver, then to Keskoo
"Setting up a shop eh? Where do you want to go?"

"I suppose that would be up to Keskoo, since it will be her shop. She used to sew and embroider in Cubria, so we are-or technically, she is, since I am just paying-going to open sewing, embroidery, and textiles shop."

Loputu: "Te õmblete asju, Keskööpäike?"
Keskoo, nodding and closing her eyes: "Õmblus ja tikandid. Tikkisin Gakti ja töötasin Everfrost rõivavabrikus"
Still smiling, "Oh, see on tõesti tore. Kas soovite poodi või tehase tööd?"
"Ma eelistaksin kauplust, kuid mul pole palju ressursse. Saan tehase tööd teha"
"Ponide jaoks on mitu võimalust. Neile, kes võtavad lojaalsuse lubaduse, antakse eelistus lepingulistes tehastes"
She kind of winces
"Olen skeptiline lojaalsuse ja suuremate tehaste valimise suhtes. Miks ma ei näe, millised on minu võimalused"
Loputu looks back to Silver
"She says she wants to explore, and know what her options are"

He smiles to the both of them, and leads them down the road
"Sure. This road, the local name is Pelican road, is the one closest to the sea. Along this road are several waterfront houses. Some are owned by Skynavians, but many are not. There are also many individual docks for smaller boats. You have seen one, the one owned by Rohke Meri, who I am fortunate to be an apprentice under. In Skynavia the boats were owned mostly by the village or larger tribe, but here they are owned by individuals, sometimes the captain, usually an absentee owner or a corporation.
The apartments on the otherside are mostly rented out to Skynavian families, like mine."
He takes them back to the garden
"Pelican lane goes through to a road that goes down Locust Promontory, but any of those buildings are clusters around a block. So we took a center of a block and turned it into a garden and play area for the community. There are other gardens like this. We made gates out of sheet metal to lock these areas in at night, since it can be dangerous."
He takes them through to what was the offshoot road Silver saw last night.

Answering
"Crime can be high. We don't accept gang protection, and try to push them out. So we have our own ways of trying to protect ourselves, like sectioning areas off, or the night watch"

Silver nods.
"Good, paying criminals off never goes well. They will take mile if you give them inch. So, what else is there here in Redheart?"
Silver nods.

"This way"
Going down the road, he says
"This is the main road, going diagonally from Horseman Avenue to Locust Promintory on the landfill."
Silver can see it now in day light
"There are many shops in the first floor of these buildings. We have toys, hats, shoes, restaurants. To ponies in the community and those passing through. Not everypony who lives here is of the Northern Ponies, nor do all Northern ponies in Baltimare live here. But most are and very many do, and this is the cultural center.
Here you can see where our community council meets"
Silver may see a single story building with yellow-orange sides
"It is not a formal community council. We cannot levy taxes nor repair the roads, but we try to maintain something like the governments of the old world. We try to elect leaders to represent the various groups, and we organize our night watch, to keep out gangs and petty criminals. They used to use some smaller building, but then the Union Hall was vacated at the beginning of the occupation, and so we took it over."
Going further down, Silver can see the square he saw the day before. This time, however, there are ponies - mostly fluffy - who stand behind or infront of stands with vegetables, trinkets and other wares
"Here is the local square. Many ponies sell their good here in the open air market."
Going down further, they see a vaulted ceiling stone structure with a tower adjacent to the market
"This is an old Equestrian Church. We have arranged to use it for other worship on odd days of the week. Reverence of the Earth Godess, Rana Neide. Reverence of forest spirits and more. My closest spirit is Tjaetsieålmaj. Even the Equestrian gods have been adopted as the incarnations of Beaivi and Mano, goddesses of the Sun and Moon. That is what we tend to do in Equestrian mass, anyways. We have no natural features to call sacred, nor can we be next to our dead to give reverence to the spirits of our ancestors here. But we make do"

Loputu's line should say "My closest spirit is Tjaetsieålmaj, the fishing spirit."
Keskoo:
"I suppose I should say Maderakka, goddess over mares and foals. But Laib Olmai, the forest spirit, was the most revered in my village. There was a Storjunkare upon a hill were we would leave vegetables and leaves in sacrifice"

Silver smiles.
"That sounds nice. It is good to hear you maintain your faith despite distance between here and your homeland."
He looks back, over to the fluffy ponies at the market.
"I heard there were also other Severyanans like me here in Redheart. Do you know of many?"
Silver smiles.

Keskoo sort of smiles in return
Loputu answers
"I think there used to be many more 50 years ago and during the famine. Now, most of the wealthier established Severyanans have moved out to wealthier neighborhoods further west in the City. Those who remain are either too poor to leave, or are recent arrivals, White emigres. I know a few, yes."

>>127547
"Well, further down, we have the schoolhouse"
He walks further down to a two story building with a red roof, and a fenced in area to the side and behind it
"This is a local school we have tried to tale for our own use, for all of the children in the community. Even I have to take lessons during part of the week, as I am not fully done yet. We try to staff it with Skynavian ponies to teach our history and our language. The school has been the source of the biggest fighting with the city, over what is taught, who is teaching, and in what language. As it is, most classes are in ponish, and half the teachers are from the City, but we can still teach our language in the school, and history in odd ours"
Then he goes to Horseman Avenue, down a lane Silver did not see last night. The lane has some smaller plots and entries to row-houses along it
"Here is one of many through lanes in the neighborhood, and it leads to Horseman Avenue, a main street of Redheart that follows mostly closely to the water. Many of the docks and warehouses are along it further down. But here it is a part of Little Skynavia. We have more shops along the avenue for ponies passing through, less so for the locals. And more rowhouses. More non-Skyanavians live along this stretch than closer to the water. We also have a mechanics shop, and the city has a fire station along this road.
Little Skynavia has no industry save for a fish processing facility on the end of Pelican lane and a small brewery on the main road, but there are factories nearby. Most ponies here work elsewhere in the city on the docks or in the factories. Baltimare has long had more creatures living in it than jobs for them, but things have been especially bad since the war. We Skynavians tend to have better luck getting jobs in the contractor factories than the locals though, as we are seen as less subversive. Most of the apartment blocks are not owned by Skynavians, nor are many of the fishing vessels. The council would like to change that, and buy up more of where we live and work"

To the school:
"It sounds like schools in Severyana, before Communists took over. We were taught both Ponish and Cyrillic, and we learned history of both Equestria and Severyana. I would like to think we found balance between two."
To the lack of jobs:
"That is never good. It would be nice to see some investment in making jobs for Baltimare, whether private or public. It would go long way to alleviating troubles facing city."

Methinks we could have a different thread purely for technical issues, or how to transfer DnD rules to a MLP setting. I have lots of suggestions in regard to this but I don't want to gum up the gameplay threads with OOC talk regarding mechanics. I'm sure others have done something similar but it's still worth looking into. Some MLP particulars haven't been smoothed over yet but it would be unreasonable to expect DM to revise a whole manual on his own.
>>127551
Not particularly sure it'll be worth it, depending on the amount of threads that want to keep on a tab, but all it takes is a little initiative to get the ball going. I'd say you could go ahead, but the response rate would be significantly lower than anticipated.

It would be basically /qa/ for DnD and it wouldn't take a lot of board space compared to this series. I'm a complete newbie other than being an observer so I don't want to make it. I just think it's pretty necessary because we have 1) MLP setting and 2) modern setting and flipping through rulebooks is difficult enough as is. This whole game is pretty experimental and DM's building it as we go.
Also, does anyone have this?
Probably would be helpful.

"Well, there are those in the community who think we will lose our culture, and the city must think we are not integrating. It used to be that I had to attend a city school a few streets over that had more creatures from Red Heart going there, and my parents dragged me to lessons in Skynavians on the weekends taught by an elder. It was kind of jarring going between the languages and I missed having the weekends... but there were good and bad things about it. Eventually they settled upon this agreement with the City.
As for Jobs, I think it is because there are more new creatures coming in than there are materials that need to be manufactured. But the war did not help. It really hurt trade and jobs on the docks, and many of the factories as well. In a way things are better now, because the old unions do not want to work at factories that support the war effort. We mostly do not care and take those jobs"

Skynavia was originally a part of the Northern Tribes that was invaded and colonized by Griffin Communist forces in something like a "long march" north, during the counter-revolution. This was implied by the "Griffonian Empire" rule setting, where Skynavia is merged with the Northern Tribes, and was entirely confirmed by the "Northern Lights" update and Socialist Republic of Skynavia playthrough. Of course the game fluff seriously downplays the invasion and colonization of Native land, but that's exactly what it is. The fluff for the city of New Skynavia even says "built on an unnamed village," as if it is almost explicitly saying "the natives weren't putting it to good use, so it's okay to take it"

"Huh.... Maybe I could then. Of course I don't know the locals, or what is wanted here... Perhaps I could learn in time"

"Indeed. You would have help learning, though."
Silver looks over to the young Skynavian stallion with them.
"I imagine Loputu would be more than happy to help you learn and adapt to living in Little Skynavia."

He smiles with a particularly wide set of teeth as his ears go down, before perking up again
"Sure, I know plenty of ponies and creatures in the community and outside of it! I can help"
Keskoo presses her lips together as she tilts her head and looks at SIlver
"Fund me? What are you getting out of it?"

She still looks at him skeptically
"If it is true..."
She is silent for more than a moment
"I would greatly appreciate it"
She looks back to Loputu, who is still smiling in an almost nervous sort of way
"And I suppose it is good to have someone who knows ponies around here"

"Sure. There are many along all three streets. If you're just looking for a studio apartment, there are several. And there are families to stay with as well"

Silver nods to her, and turns to head back to the main street.
"Let us look for apartments for rent, then."

"Let us go!" Loputu says with a smile
Loputu makes a suggestion, but after hearing that it is partly rundown, Keskoo decides to push her luck for something newer
They go into a an apartment set along "Wintry Street" (The main street), and after talking to the landlord, go up to see a room on the second floor. The stallion running the block, a brown pony who looks most like a severyanan, explains that this particular set of apartments was renovated after being seriously damaged by artillery fire in the war, and thus looks new.
Openning the door, inside is a central area with a tiny kitchen off to the side, a bathroom, and a small closet
Loputu:
"And a view to a garden"

Silver trots around to look at the apartment. He might not be living there, but he wants to make sure Keskoo will be getting her money's worth.
"I think it looks nice, but...what does Keskoo think?"

"It is... not as good as the beach house earlier... but it is nicer than what I had in Everfrost. I mean, it's a little smaller, but I am not sharing it, and it is newer"

"Alright, if you are sure."
He turns to the landlord.
"Can we have paperwork for this apartment?"

"Of course, let me get you an application"
Going down to an office, he comes back with a set of papers

There is a fairly high deposit, a restriction of only two adults living in the apartment, separate fees for water and trash, restrictions on letting zebras stay for extended periods on the premises, restrictions against meetings of certain natures, a required one month notice period for leaving, and a month by month roll over period for rent that theoretically allows for changes in the rent between months

She looks to Loputu
"Are there other apartments worthwhile?"
"There are more. They can be bigger or cheaper. These ones have the advantage of being small, but more recently renovated. Most apartments in Redheart are old, but this is one of very few to be rebuilt after the shelling."

She looks up to him, then looks down, then back to him, and then with a glow of dark green light, she takes the pen, and signs the contract. Her face gives the impression she is not entirely convinced she hasn't signed away her soul and first born

He tries to give her a smile to disarm that feeling, and that he's not trying to exploit her or anything. He takes the paperwork to the landlord.
"Alright, how much to cover this?"

Silver quickly produces 450 Bits for the landlord, and gives it to him.
"This covers first month's rent and deposit."

"Thank you, good sir"
He shakes Silver's hoof
Keskoo flat lips turn to a smile
"Thank you for doing this for me"

He gives the landlord a firm, friendly hoofshake before turning to Keskoo.
"Do not thank me just yet. We still have to get furniture for you. Want to go furniture shopping?"

The Landlord nods, as he continues his smile, while Keskoo pulls her lips back a bit
Keskoo: "I suppose I do need furniture, yes. Though forgive me..." She looks away. "I am... I am skeptical of what is free. Or even what is cheap. Even those who believe they give out of the goodness of their hearts, give out of their idea of good. A good they want to impose."

Silver smiles, though sadly, and nods to her.
"You are forgiven. I understand your skepticism. I am old pony, Keskoo. I have lived for many years, and I am ashamed to say that not every action in that time has been good, or moral. I want to do what is right, for what comparitively little time I have left."

Her lips are still down, and she still looks sad
"I know... It is just this is a big moment for me. Where I live will affect who I interact with, perhaps who I marry, if I am a victim of crime again... I cannot see my family here. Loputu I suppose is the only pony I know. It is big decision, while I know so little."

She tries to smile again
"Again, thank you"
She stands up taller, and turns to her side
"At least it's only a month of two. So, what is this about furniture?"
