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

She shakes his hoof, this time more gently than with Tone Beet. "I'm Amber Sunset, it's nice to meet you. You moved here only seven years ago? This store looks like it's been around quite a lot longer–in a good way, I mean. It reminds me of home."

"Well, I only moved too the West side seven years ago. I was in the east before then. Too many zebra there. I rented this spot after the last owner retired. I carried on his business. Where is home for you, young filly?"

"My family's farm is about a hundred and fifty miles west of here. The closest town has a store a bit bigger than this one, but it has more imperishable supplies and not so many different types of food."

"Oh, so you're out in the country then. We have a nice set here, since they started distributing the fall harvest a few months ago. We got very low on food at points in the War, but it's closer to normal now. Still have rationed supplies of coffee though, and prices are much higher than they were before the War.It's not farm fresh, no, but we get shipments regularly enough. Those bats love their tropical fruit, but most of those are in short supply on account of the blight and rationing. Just as well. I'd rather not sell to the bats if I could."

He shakes his head
"Oh yes. Bat ponies. They come in from both north and South, from their little caves and enclaves. Mostly they work in the night shifts in the factories and dockyards. You'd best pay attention when walking around at night here, young filly."

Amber nods, concerned. "I will. I've read terrible stories about what they often do. In the books it's usually misbehaving foals who fall victim, but I think it can happen to anypony."

"Uck" He shakes his head again "You better believe it could be anyone. And you better believe those books too. Be extra careful in public places if you dress suggestively. They prefer young mares, and them do zebra too."

>dress suggestively
Aren't most ponies nude?
She looks a bit perplexed by this but doesn't press the issue.
"Um…alright. Are you all alone in running the store?
It seems like a lot for one pony to do."

Just keep dressing like she is and she's good
"Oh, I had help from Wheat Whinny...." He turns his head down
"Course', it's been 19 months since I've seen him. Couldn't really afford anyone after that. I suppose there's a little more money now... I'm certainly not getting any younger..."

The mare laden with all her possessions frowns lightly. "Did he disappear? If you want I could take his place.
I don't need much, just a place to stay and enough to help support my parents."

Amber pulls her lips together and looks away, nodding. After a few moments she turns back. "I think I would like to work here."
That was too easy

Amber thinks to herself for a minute. "Do you think it would be possible for me to work two jobs? Is this store busy all day?"

"I don't know what you can arrange with other employers, but my busiest time is in the afternoon, and the morning for stocking. I'd rather not run at night."
"I don't know what you can arrange with other employers, but my busiest time is in the afternoon, and the morning for stocking. I'd rather not run at night."
Amber nods, maintaining a neutral expression. "Mr. Stock, you don't mind if I ask around? Do you know of any places you could recommend to me?"

She smiles reassuringly. "Don't worry, I'll come back later today and let you know." She starts to leave the shop.

More buildings. Looking down one way is smaller buildings. Down another is a plaza, and larger buildings

No modern style malls. This plaza is mostly what appears to be government buildings, but there is at least one cafe. Small shops are more common elsewhere

Amber frowns and goes to that street with the smaller buildings. If it's safe to canter she does so.

Many shops and businesses exist, but two seem promising: a larger clothing store, and a soda shop. Despite tales of economic malaise in Baltimore, it looks like there are many unfilled job openings for creatures between the ages of 18 and 25 without a college degree.

Amber smiles to herself. Selling clothing would be quite nice! She crosses the street if need be and trots up to the entrance.

Through a revolving door, Amber enters. It’s larger than the grocer, and generally more spread out. Most of the clothing is coats and formal wear, both male and female attire. Colors are fairly dull mostly, greys, blacks and whites.

Amber is practically beaming as she trots down. I've never seen so many different clothes…they can't all be hoofmade. Amber looks around for a customer representative or manager.

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.

Amber approaches this mare a bit less eagerly. "Hello, ma'am? Do you have a moment to spare?"
