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

Amber nods along and watches every move by the manager, making sure not to miss a step. "There are two prices…?" she sheepishly asks.

She jumps back ever so slightly, then smiles with pleasure at the model.
"I thought that was what you were buying these items for"
Then she pulls forward, smiling wide again
"If you are willing to use you powers, I may have something for you to do. You see, many of my items here are rare and hard to find. They are much harder to find when certain suppliers go missing, or when travel lines are shut down. One of my items is manticore nails. There are Manticore in the woods, yes, but there are a few in the Baltimare Zoo, if you could get nail clippings from them. And then there is the shell of a certain clam.... I cannot get that, but there is a dye that concentrates the same or similar chemical, I know is used at certain factories. If you want to get one of those for me, or some other supplies, I may be willing to do favors in return"
>>130029
"Oh that's not hard"
She pulls up a coat
"Yes, you see this here?" She points to a red number
"This is the nominal price, and this one here"
She points to one underneath that
"Is the sales price. Go with this one. Also, if they hand you a funny looking paper they say is money, you have to take it. Those are 'East Equestria' bits, and we are legally required to consider them money. Even though it looks like its counterfeit"

Amber nods. "I understand, it's very straightforward.
But what do I do if somepony does hand me counterfeit money and how would I know?"

"I said it looks like counterfeit money. We are required by law to accept it as if it were bits. Some stores require 'tips' when that money is paid, or will sell a 'rock' along with the purchase for more bits... but we can't always do that here. So just accept the paper"

Amber purses her lips. I don't know if ponies copy it or not, the idea of paper money is very queer…hopefully I'm not held responsible if somepony does that.
She nods her head slowly. "I think I understand.
What else do I need to know?"

"So my job to get to snuggle with a kitty is to go and snuggle with a kitty? Sounds likea deal to me," Fantasy says as she winks with one of her eyes.
"Will get those nails for you first, free of charge. Just to prove to you hope serious I'm."
As the Fantasy lowers her hoof back to the floor the cat climbs up on her back and curls up in a ball.
"So I'll get as many as I can but when I'm there but what is minimum?"

"Here, we have Stallion's formal wear. Fortunately, dark greys are in vogue." It's a suit
She goes over to a blue dress
"This is a mare's dress. Mostly for professional and social events, but it will do for special occasions for those with fewer resources. No, there is not a lighter shade of blue. You would be amazed how rare specific dyes can be while similar colors are cheap."
She goes through a set of clothing for foals, stallions, and mares

"Mmm. Is it a special knife? Because otherwise I think that trimmers or a pair of tongs would be better to cut off nails with."
She lifts up her hoof.
"But I would gladly except your generous offer to borrow your knife."
The cat jumps down on the floor and begins cricle around Fantasy's hooves and stroke against them.

Amber tries to keep track of all the different types of garments. I've known that fashion can be quite complicated, but I never realized how getting dressed is such an affair! Cummerbunds, pocket squares, garters…you could spend your whole life learning just this!

"Fair, they probably want a trimmer too"
She pulls out a sheathed knife from under her jacket
"But if you have need of a knife, since you look like you don't carry one..."
The knife has an ornate hilt, and a curved blade
"You can borrow this one. But I will only let you cuddle me or any f my friends if you bring it back"
She places it on Fantasy's Hoof
>>130042
While this is happening, she also takes the time to show how they are placed on the racks, so as to not be wrinkled

It sort of does. As best as Amber can gather, this is not a high end boutique, but it tries to recreate the same feel for ponies with less money to spend, while still functioning as a normal clothing store

Has polyester been invented yet? https://quatr.us/modern-europe/where-did-polyester-come-from.htm
If there are any clothes with this fabric Amber would probably think they are silk.

Polyester was not made for commercial consumption until 1951, and thus is not present here. Silk is used in Parachutes, and thus will be austeritied and unavailable for civilian purposes

Amber asks the manager, "Ma'am, am I right to assume that more wool clothes are being sold now in the winter and in the summer we'll restock with cotton clothes? What other things should I keep track of?"
Also, is it visible that the store keeps stock of uniforms for military or paramilitary personnel?

"Three years ago, you'd be half right. Ponies do like wool in the winter, but the weather in Baltimare doesn't drop below freezing for more than maybe a few weeks most years. And wool... well, half the supply is imported across troubled waters, and it's another 'austerity' item... We still sell a few wool items. Stallion's formal attire, some coats, a few hats and mittens... most of these are for ponies who will be working in the mountains, leaving to go further north, or who can pay a mark up for their preferred item. Mostly we sell cotton, even in winter. That may change next winter, but not today. As for other things to keep track of, I may have to wait until they come up."

Although it does not snow often in her native place, its relatively inland position permits occasional snowfalls that last at least a few days. Amber looks disappointed that she won't get even that here.
"Well, cotton is versatile so customers oughta like it. I do have a few questions." She swallows and wishes she had her canteen out. "First, what are the store hours and when do you want me to start? Tomorrow is okay for me. Should I wear anything special? And–um–how much is the wage again?" Amber nervously smiles, worrying that she's already been told this and has forgotten.
Is the store heated? If so it may already be unpleasantly warm for Amber who is dressed to not feel much of the outside temperature at all, and who is saddled with a medium load.

The store is indeed heated, though the store is set at a slightly lower than normal temperature, presumably to make the wearing of heavy clothing more palatable, or to save money on heating.
"The going rate is 5 bits an hour. You must look nice, as you are now if possible. Be here at 7 AM."

Her body language indicates humility. She seems like a really interesting individual!
"You were selling clothes even back then? You must have known your destiny as soon as you got your cutie mark! So many grand things happened back then, and better things than today…"
I'm willing to continue this tomorrow. I was considering whether to call it after the employment terms and leave the building, but why pass up a line of conversation?

Turn on the water. Get the temperature just right. Add bubble bath soaps as desired. Maybe just a little warmer...

"Please tell me more about Canterlot in that magical time." The movement of her dress indicates a bit of a tail wag that is obstructed. She does look like a foal enchanted by an elder's tales of a time long past.

Though she talks to Amber, she cannot be made to look or focus at Amber. In a way, it's like there's a projector showing still images onto an invisible wall somewhere in the middle of the carpet pathway somewhere to the left of the door and in front of the mannequin display case for the blue dress.
"The ponies there gave the definite impression that they knew they ruled the world, or at least all of the parts they cared for. Very refined. Confident. Cultured. Almost every one in a suit, like the city was one big social event. The main city was sectioned off and closed to through-traffic. The buildings were only the most elegant of past generations. The air was clean, cleaner than in any of the bigger port cities. But what really made it different, at least from these days, was the absence of any real fear, or dread. There was optimism in those days. Optimism about what the new may bring."

She goes up and down on parts of his body, fluffing it up with the shampoo

Amber eagerly imbibes these words. I could not properly appreciate it when I visited it but it's truly a city of, as they say, "giants among ponies." There must be something specially magical about Canterlot that bred so many great leaders and noble heroes. I wish I had another chance to visit…

She seems to smile, and does so in a way that must be unnatural for her

She pulls back and tenses up her fur at points where Silver applies pressure. Silver can hear the scratching of her talons and hind paws on the porcelain bathtub as she moves and reposition herself, trying and failing to get a grip

She resumes looking at the invisible screen

>>130134
If Silver has ever washed a dog or cat, he could feel some similarities. Her belly 'gives in' when he presses into it, as loose fur is pushed aside. Her tail, previously hanging out of the tub, now circles around inside, and is next to Silver's chest
"Heh." She must have felt a tickle

Maybe not Hilary Clinton, and she seems much younger than 50. The point is, she makes an attempt at warmth.

Her rump is really not very meaty. At all. Not like a pony, at least, though she at least has some muscles going up her thighs, and lose fur to cover them

She nods
"Yes. You may go now."
The idea is a character who, as a young adult, is optimistic and in wonder at the potential around them, but who over time finds that she is not able to do the things she hoped, and sees life as more of a struggle. Moreover, the world around her seems to have this same pattern, at first optimistic about the future, then finding firm limits struggle, and pessimism if not cynicism. She and any outsider are left wondering if the world has really changed that way, or if that's just how she's looking at it

Amber nods gratefully and exits the building. She cranes her neck back, opens one of her saddlebags and quickly takes out an army-style canteen. Glug glug glug

Anyway, see you tomorrow (if not, that's okay because I'm also quite busy)

I hate botching things, where I know what I intend a character to say or mean but it doesn't come across and it isn't interpreted that way. Like the smile on High Sewn, or any of the last things to happen with the wolves. It kills the enjoyment more than anything else that happens

It's really hard to do it right in a novel format with full-length prose, much less a CYOA format where behavior is disjointed/turn-based and you don't want to spend half an hour on an unimportant line of dialogue.

She jumps out, or tries to, slipping back into the tub, splashing water about and falling on Silver. Her tail extends out as the water still splashes from side to side. She jumps up, and out onto the floor, with a strange tapping noise of talon against tile, and she slides a few inches

That's a lot of floof
She takes another towel and places it over her back, trying to rub water off, then under her belly. She partly extends her wings, trying to wipe off the thickest part of the limbs, but it's difficult as she cannot fully extend her wings, at least not in that moment in that exact position

If 'not being in self-control' can acquit one from any wrongdoing, then is there any justice at all? Could one not merely throw away all inhibitions and be considered innocent from what results, or is not a lack of self-control a moral flaw in itself?
