In the North, Spark has encountered a new tribe of creatures, who are eager to take him as an emissary between cultures. In the south, Iron sleeps off his wounds, with dreams of a new life for himself and a certain zebra. Silver tries to settle in those he saved from the cultists into their own lives. Fantasy play establishes herself in Baltimare, and she too, has encountered cultures unknown to her before. As they all search for normalcy, it remains to be seen just what dangers await beyond the horizon

Iron can't help but tilt his head even further, mouth pouting slightly as he watched the now pegasus mare.
Does it want me to seek it? he thinks before taking another cautious step.

Iron blinks softly as the pegasus partly opens her wings before taking a step back instead.
Does it want to play a game? was his thought.

Iron, by this point, figures it wants to be close to him, meaning he continues his trot in order to stand as closely to the pegasus as possible.

Iron tilts his head. "If you are really the pony you are disguising as, then you would know why I am hesitant," he informs the pegasus "if you are not, then why would you stick around and risk getting overpowered by somepony stronger than you?"

Iron pouts softly. "H-hey, I did not say you had to take off," he hurriedly adds in an attempt to keep it around.

Iron twiddles with the tips of his hooves, resting his body on his rump and hindlegs. "W-well, I do wish to know what it is like to... you know," he sheepishly suggests "be a changeling."

She blinks and opens her mouth
"They don't want you to know they are Changelings. Think about that. It will tell you a lot. But why do you come to me for this?"
She spreads her wings again, and jumps into the air

Iron pouts, shaking his head and letting go of the changeling. "Like that would magically make me the equivalent of sweet fruit for flies," he mutters to himself disappointedly before waving the bug as she goes.

Iron's mind stops at the words he thought he had heard.
'Feed on love', huh? he thinks to himself. Does that mean... that vial.
He scratched his head in confusion but inhales deeply, knowing this may as well be the end.

Iron sighs softly, rubbing one of his tired eyes.
(I should look for Sands,) he thinks to himself (see if she would want to go to a bar now that it is the appropriate hour.)

Iron sighs, having no idea where she could be. He groggily gets off from the bed and checks his bit pouch in case she took some money.

"I guess it is time to go exploring," Iron utters out loud, stretching softly "maybe she will spot me and beckon me over."
With that, the native basically drags her semi-limp body towards the exit door, opening it.

"Where do I go from here..." Iron ponders aloud as he jaggedly walks out the room, closing the door behind him. "...probably a bar, but which one..."
Having said that, the native trudges on in a hazy mood.

Iron manages his way down the several levels, to the lobby. As he moves to the door, he sees her. She stumbles over towards him

"Oh yeah. They play music and dance to it. Sell alcohol. Mostly they have that damn jazz music, but it is what they play so whatever"
She is unambiguously intoxicated

Iron had to wonder what sort of thing would be there for starters, potentially linking it back to Cauldron's boombox but louder as he slowly blinks.
"What made your trip have no luck going to the club?" he proceeds to ask.

Iron tilts his head once again. "You seem to have drunk a lot of alcohol," he comments aloud to Sands "yet you did not find the groove?" The stallion promptly nuzzles the mare's neck lazily, "I am sorry I did not come along to help you out," he adds, guilt apparent on his tone "I keep feeling extremely tired and I have no idea why."

Iron unfortunately shakes his head.
"I am basically as lost as you currently, with my sudden awakening after some perturbing dreams," he answers tiredly "I figured you had an idea on what to do to pass time."

"Oh yeah"
She waves with a hoof
"At night the picture shows stay open till maybe ten. Bars until 2, and clubs sometimes even later til 4. There can be private parties at houses and such that can last all night."
She sways a little more
"You also cuddle with the opposite sex, you know"

Iron's mouth contorts into a tired smile at the last suggestion. "I suppose there is always that," he admits knowingly "but I am not much of a bed talker, as you know."
Iron exhales softly, looking up at the ceiling. "...what would you prefer out of the options you have said?"

"So do you like, have a house?"

Iron chuckles softly as he stands up. "I am pretty sure we talked about this already," he responds amusedly "but no, I do not."
Having said that, the native starts walking a bit to see if Sands can actually stay perched or not.

Iron tentatively tries going up the stairs in a slow fashion to see if she can adapt.

I thought that someone was messing with Iron again, I wasn't expecting a PSA on safe sex. Also I get the feeling Iron was supposed to be frightened by the changeling but he's lived in a jungle so big bugs don't scare him.
Worst part of it for him is the messed up sleep schedule. You just need one bad nap and that takes days to fix.

"No," Iron replies "I do not even know what anal is. It feels..." He pouts softly, trailing off in his sentence as his ears droop once again "It feels like I still don't even know you, even after all we have been through, you know?"

"I'm like you in a lot of ways. I'm not from here. I'm far away from my family. I don't have a home right now, I don't have a traditional job, and most of what I do do is a bit on the, well, it's with the 'non-traditional economy.'"

Iron sighs, now back at looking at the bedsheets. "I cannot love from sex alone," he confesses, voice starting to quiver "and so far I cannot seem to connect to you through anything." He snaps his vision to Sands. "I know it has been a single day since we met and you may have something you have yet to reveal that may spark such a thing, but... we consumated already." He takes away his hooves from her to the sides of his head. "We should know eachother from fur to heart by now."
