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 blinks once, confused himself before pointing to his back. "You know, carry you on my back if you need it," he utters, starting to blush the slightest bit as he smiled sheepishly "that is not weird to say, right?"

Granite stone exterior with Ionian columns and other patterns of the neo-classical style. Going further down the 14 or so feet of stone steps down to the street level, and looking bad, a stone frieze on the station shows scenes of the industrial revolution in Equestria. Parts are grimy, and parts are chipped

Iron's sheepish smile is replaced with a small pout, tilting his head opposite of Sands with the respective ear drooped as he stared at her with a blank, puzzled look.

Even despite the visible wear the grandiose building far exceeds mere picture pictures, and it takes Amber's determination not to stay for a minute. There will be plenty of time for that later… Amber turns left and trots down the street, looking at what's around.

"... What?" She is also confused
>>129833
Buildings around are a bit less impressive than Union Station, but still bigger than almost anything she's seen before. Mostly they are brick, with some stone. The streets are a bit wide, and have a number of ponies on them while seeming somehow less populated than the three and four story buildings around would suggest. A small, black machine passes down the road at considerable speed, what Amber knows must be an automobile

Amber has seen automobiles a couple of times, but still the odd contraption surprises her. There's no way I can get a job on this street, it's much too fancy… She trots down to the next intersection.

"What?" Iron repeats, lost in this interaction as his mind races to find a proper save. "I-I mean yes, I totally get what you meant before," he spat out unconvincingly, giving one of the fakest, sheepish smiles she has probably seen in her lifetime.

Iron's strained, sheepish look only serves to redden slightly as he heard Sands hum softly before him.
Only after she announces she's ready does his embarrassed demeanor dissipates into a little exhale before quickly puffing out his chest as he poses proudly. "Alright," he states "let us go." His trotting is still a bit stiff over his small blunder but he carries on regardless towards the Watering Hole, ear open to any sort of small talk that may happen.

She looks around for a store that is likely common yet wouldn't need a specific skill set, such as a farrier's, a millinery store, or something otherwise service-based.

"Huh?"
Something about Iron confuses her, but she does not make a big deal about it
She very slowly follows behind him, her feet treading lightly enough to make no sound

Looking over, Amber sees a couple sights.
In the fore, is a larger building with yellowish stone and thin windows, with a stone belt under the windows on the first floor. What makes it special is the cloth draped over parts of the building, a couple trucks outside of it, and a few ponies going in and out.
Nearby, on the other side of the street and further down, is a store. It looks like a sort of general store or grocery store on the street corner

Iron keeps himself at a steady pace, mostly trotting in place for Sands to catch up his younger, more energetic self as they went down the stairs, making sure their room was closed beforehand, and out to the streets of Baltimare and travelling towards the Watering Hole.

Amber is attracted by all the activity going on. If this is a store then it must be quite large and may have an opening. I like this neighborhood too. She trots over, but is careful not to interrupt the workers.

Well, considering she's currently half-dead from both being suddenly woken up plus having a hangover, she has been quite nerfed in terms of energy.
As for the younger thing, it's more that he's a bit too young,
almost acting foal-like, even.

his lack of knowledge of hangovers should highlight his overall inexperience with alcohol.

I'm assuming this means she goes for the larger of the buildings (There are more buildings, these just appear to be the best candidates within line of sight)
Amber enters, with a few ponies passing by at high speed towards the trucks. They pay no attention to Amber. Inside, there is a reception area with a table and a small mare. A hornless white pony with short cut green mane looks over, and talks to her
"Um, excuse me mam? We have to make sure you have no explosives on you before you go further into the building"
If there are any guards, they must be among the moving ponies, because they aren't there

She is wearing a midnight-blue woolen dress (a variety obviously made for winter that covers the tail) with lighter blue stars and frills, and on top of this she has a black burlap traveling cloak with the hood down. She is however wearing a forest-green headscarf over her auburn mane, though her ears are allowed to stick out. She has two canvas saddlebags that are decently large and definitely have some bulk, though they are not close to being full to bursting. Needless to say that if this was a different season she would be quite overdressed.
"I was hoping that this might be a store where I could be a clerk. I think I can do almost any job though, and I, uh, just arrived in Baltimare. She has a bit of a confident smile.

He promptly sits on a chair next to Sands. "Either for Khoi to pass by here and give her that job I promised," he explains "or for Cauldron to do the same and maybe ask for a job to beat some of these new criminal ponies that are coming here."

Amber smiles, this time a bit awkwardly. "I'm just keeping my options open, I might take you up on your offer." She is as close to the door as is possible without impeding the movers.

Amber enters the store to see that it is indeed a grocery store, with fruits like apples and cantelopes, oats, potatos, lettuce, cabbage, tomatoes , canned beans and corn, a few cans of overpriced robusta coffee, and a satisfactory selection of cigarrettes. No bread or pastry products though; there is no attached bakery. Austerity has reduced the variety of available fruits and cheeses, and greatly driven up the price of some items, coffee being the severest example, but it hasn't driven most products off the market.

In a way, it's actually kind of comparable to with the stores that Amber is familiar with. It's a small square floor plan on the first floor, some some shelves in the center and much product placed on the sides, although a few shelves are empty, presumably the victims of austerity. There's a staircase on the far left upon entering from the street that may or may not be a part of the unit at all, and in any case is not accessible to outside customers, at least at this time

"Why hello there young fillie" He says to her
"I suppose it's been a while since I've had help"

Amber looks to the left briefly before looking at the stallion, smiling awkwardly. "I'm a pony who's just arrived in Baltimare and I was hoping that maybe you might have a position open for me?" She widens her eyes hopefully. "I can do anything you need to be done around here, I can even sew a little! Please tell me it's possible." She gives a pleading look.

Amber bites her lip and takes a step back, blushing furiously. "I'm so sorry. Er–have a nice day," she stammers out as she trots away.

Then Amber wanders deeper into the clothing store until she finds a pony wearing uniform, manning (is that the right word to use?) a register, or perhaps a tailor with a tape measure around the neck.

Walking in, Amber comes across another pony looking at a cost, and there is something different in her demeanor. She is a fairly tall green unicorn, just past middle age, wearing a black colored dress. She looks at the coat as if she is studying if.

"I just arrived here and…and I want to know if you would like some help in the store. I think I can do a good job here." Amber gives a shy smile and she has been tapping the tip of her left front hoof on the floor.

“And what kind of job can you do?”

She now moves closer, circling around, looking at the free. At one point, she grabs a portion with pink aura, examining it

free what?
The dress is of a coarse but soft common wool died a midnight blue. Details like four-sided stars are of a lighter blue and are evidently stitched in by hoof; the work is not terribly complex but is quite decent for an earth pony without a sewing machine. A faint lingering musty odor as well as its decades-old style in terms of length and frills at various locations including the cannons indicate that the dress is quite possibly older than the mare wearing it.

Reee, it's supposed to be "dress"
"Hmmm..." She continues looking at the dress, and starts to talk to Amber without eye contact
"It's harder and harder to find that shade of dye anymore. Certainly not for country earthponies. Not any more."
Now she makes eye contact
"Tell me, what is it you imagine an a salespony does? Add up sales in the cash register? Is that why you mentioned 'arithmetic'?"

Amber rubs her pastern against her chin in a thinking pose for a few moments. "I think…a salespony's job is to convince customers that getting clothes here is a really good idea, answer their questions, take inventory, and of course count items sold." She smiles nervously.

She raises both eyebrows towards Amber
"I suppose if you abstract from the process, that is what a salespony does, yes. But business is never conducted in the abstract, always in the particular. And it's these particulars that make or break a business, and that anypony must know to be even passable at that business. Before I continue, I should add that I do indeed expect every salespony to 'know arithmetic.' How else could I trust them with a cash register and money? But I will continue by rephrasing my same question: why is it, you believe, ponies buy clothing?"

Amber widens her eyes in surprise at this new question. She opens her mouth to speak, reconsiders, and then hesitantly starts talking. "I would say, well, it's not always about getting use out of clothing, but, mmm, more to do with how it reflects oneself? How a piece of clothing fits or matches a particular pony can change how she views herself and what others think of her at that particular moment. Maybe some ponies like to look pretty in front of others, too." She anxiously watches for the older mare's reaction.

She nods
"I suppose that's better than I expected from a countryside earth pony. Clothing is a representation of oneself to others. Who they think they are, who they want to be, and who they want other ponies to think they are. Sometimes, it serves as a visual expression of those aspects of a pony that makes her unique and standout. More often, ponies simply want to blend in and be a part of the herd, with the qualification that the herd to which they wish to belong is 'professional,' or 'high class,' or a part of the accepted in-group of the place and time. And sometimes, just sometimes, a stallion wants a coat because he is cold in the winter.
But really, the question I asked you is a question that must not be considered 'answered,' but must be asked anew in each individual case. Why is this mare buying an article of clothing, and for whom? What do they seek to accomplish with their purchase? Moreover, what are they able and willing to spend? Answering these questions with any great success requires both an innate talent for understanding others, and wisdom that can only be built with experience."
She nods

Amber adopts a shy pose. "I–I guess that makes sense. I don't know how capable I am of understanding so many different ponies, I've never seen so many before I left home."

The old unicorn slowly wakes up as morning arrives...
>>129951
Light makes its way into the room from the large glass doors and the windows to the right, though the morning sun shines through neither. Silver finds himself in a big, fluffy bed with a griffin sleeping next to him

Her body and head face away from him and she at least seems to be asleep. Silver has unimpeded access to her back fur, the feathers, and her right wing. Her chest rises and falls slowly and softly as she sleeps, with more or less silent breathing.

He spoons the griffon and buries his snout in her soft neck feathers. He is content to stay like that for as long as she remains asleep.

>>129955
She lays there, evidently sleeping, for some minutes more. There's no need to keep track of the passage of time, and Silver may even fall back into sleep before waking again. After some time, the breathing skips a beat, and Jubilosa's head moves slightly, followed by her whole body which starts to pull away until it comes in tension with Silver's legs and stops. She tilts her head back to look over to Silver.

"Huh?"
Jubilosa places a foreleg down to prop part of her forebody up, and allow her head to look around the room. For just a moment, she looks almost confused
"... Yes"

The unicorn is silent in response, unsure precisely how to take that. His ears droop slightly.
"Ah...alright."
He scoots over to the edge of the bed, then off of it to stretch his limbs out and take a look outside out on the balcony.

There's a glass swinging door. It's locked, but it's locked from Silver's side. Beyond this, Silver can see that the deck is wooden, with a wooden railing, and has a small table and a couple chairs. Jubilosa sits up silently

Exiting to the outside, Silver can see the sun rising over the bay entrance, and a few boats, mostly fishing boats, moving along the bay. A thick plank of wood protrudes from the balcony, with a part of the railing in front of it on hinges, evidently a door

"Must be for fliers."
Silver sits down and watches the sunrise. He realizes that it might be a good idea to buy an ashtray for the balcony so he can smoke on it.

At least there is a small gap in the balcony that would allow water or cigarette ash through, though it would fall onto the lower porch.
After some time, Jubilosa slowly walks out, sitting in the chair next to Silver

"I didn't join the militia to be with Corazón, or when my country was attacked. I was fine flying milk around. I didn't want to fight for that... but when you all showed up... I wanted to show what griffins were. So I fought and got stabbed. I helped to save a pony against griffins... damned Imperials, but they weren't threatening my country, my town, my love. I just wanted to show I wasn't an Imperial, that not all griffins are Imperials. To show how wrong you all are about us. I mean... some of us... But I couldn't be like this when it mattered..."

"Yes. Is there anything I could get you for a night with you," she says but lifts up a hoof to stop any incoming comment. "I'm not talking about sexual favours. I just wanna snuggle and hug a nice and cosy catlady such as yourself. It would be like a dream come true."
Her eyes sparkle when she says the last words.

"I know, it seems strange to me. But she is younger than me, and her country has a dearth of males in her age group. That's part of why she wanted to emigrate, to look for husbands elsewhere. She had a chance when she was a nurse or something to catch a male in the army but she was too shy. That's what I could read from her, anyway."

"Oh, there are many apartments, even if there are far fewer openings than there used to be. But I'm not a real estate agent. As for you timing, after you've had basic training on our product, stocking, and the cash register."

Her eyes almost glow, big and focused on her. She bares her teeth wider in an awkward smile.
"Well, I am a business kitty. And there are some items that are, shall we say, hard to come by. Tell me, are you an illusionist?"

"Yes, I remember her saying that was part of reason for coming here. I hope she finds someone she likes and that she learns more about sex before then. It can be embarrassing, being inexperienced with a more experienced partner."

She turns her head while looking at Silver, giving him an inquisitive smile

He scrunches his snout and blushes.

Amber breathes a sigh of relief. "I'm glad that I'll get some training. You see, I've never used a cash register before…" She looks a bit nervous in waiting for the older mare's response.

Amber trots after the manager. Their difference in age and dress must appeal peculiar to any onlookers.

Wonders where Fantasy went off to

She walks up to the counter, which at the moment has no pony behind it
"Alright, make sure it is unlocked, do not
lose the key, make sure there is paper in the feeder. You'll find it in the till. Type in the amount of the sale here... now, you must understand that there are usually two prices, the nominal sales price, and the real one. Go with the lower number. We do that to make them think they are getting a deal. Sometimes there is a sale, but no number stated. That is where you will have to do math. Take that number, type it in here... take the money, put it in the drawer..."
She continues describing the details of the cash register operation

This seems sort of like a retcon
"Did you feel hurt that she had partners before you?" She asks

"Yes, I am. A rogue one," she says with smile.
One of the three pieces of fleece fly up to the tip of Fantasy's horn. Pink energies emerges from her horn and envelopes the piece.
With a cocky grin, Fantasy brings up a her right hoof to the tip of her horn. Then in a quick smooth motions, she sweeps her hoof and draws a pink loop in the air before he hoof ends up extened to the side of her body.
Pop! Suddenly the piece of fleece and the pink arcane energies are gone and replaced by black cat with white spots standing on her extened hoof.
It likes its paw for a moment before it lays down sprawled out on the hoof.
"This is how may cat Slogo looks."
