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

"Silver Sword. I am pony who cleared undead from quarry and catacombs."
He steps aside to show Mala.
"This is my partner, Mala. I heard bodies leftover from when I cleared this place were going to be recovered, and I came to offer assistance."

"Well yes, that's why I need alcohol. To help my hangover."
>>130454
Peer Review looks over at Mala, who raises his head and his diamond shaped ears
"I see"
Then Peer Review looks back to Silver
"We were hired to do an archaeological evaluation of this site before it was dug up for construction, per city ordinance. There are indeed equine remains here that must be interred as well. Tell me, you cleared this site?"

"Oh," he pauses, blinking once in mild puzzlement before sniffing slightly "alright then."
Having said that, he turns to Blanche. "That will be all, unless there is more you have to offer."

She blinks
"Well, if you want an appetizer, or anything else"
White Sands adds:
"Coffee. Get me coffee."

"No, just... that explains the destruction..."
The green unicorn is walking over. Silver can see that the table below Peer Review has a sketch of what is presumably the below ground facility, and the cloth has on it items like a rusted sword and a hat. The green unicorn must find Mala interesting, because he looks towards him, and Mala looks back

Iron ponders the offer for a moment before nodding. "Add what she ordered for me as well," he answers "that will be all."

Iron's ear flicker as he tilts his head. "I see," he mumbles before his ears straighten in a flash "oh, I did not hear you order some food before."

"Oh! Good! Not destruction I mean, that I was not cause of internal damage. It was likely caused when they started quarrying operation."

Iron nods. "Sure," he answers gladly, blinking once in mild confusion "you do not really have to ask, considering how long I have not seen you eat since back at Hoebuck."

"Plenty. While I do not know exact purpose of this place before it was buried, in 8th century it was rediscovered by Joseph Curwhinny, who owned farmhouse near here. He used it to conduct necromatic experiments on its denizens, zebra slaves, and others in attempt to discover how to bring his wife and foals back from dead, after they had all died of plague."

"Is it a unicorn thing to have little need to eat food because of horn stuff?" he proceeds to ask, now becoming curious at how nonchalant Sands is currently being "or is it more about keeping under a weight threshold?"

"Oh no, I just had food after you went to sleep yesterday"
She waves again

"Hmmm... The record from this region is that there was a dispute over customs in which Joseph Curwhinny was killed. High Chair believes this incident to have been an example of a bourgeois lead attempt at revolution against the old order. That is preposterous of course, as Joseph Curwhinny was a member of the bourgeois class, and I think it was something closer to a peasant rebellion, or even a proto-proletariat rebellion. The crux of the question is of course who the violence was directed against... There are more zombies than I expected..."

"Oh," Iron utters before nodding assertively "right." He softly rubs his foreleg a little as he looks to the side "I got a bit worried you were not eating for some reason, but that makes sense."

"Don't be silly" She closes her eyes, and again waves her hoof dismissively
"So... what is this? Zebra food?"

Iron nods "Igborncs-made, if what I heard recently is accurate. No idea what makes a food that, but it tastes real nice."

"Right..." She seems skeptical
Blanche comes back, and gives White Sands what looks like a beer, and a cup of coffee
White Sands takes a sip of the beer

"Not Zebra ethnic food, I can tell you that"
She takes a sip of the coffee, and then uses both hooves to hold the coffee

"That I figured out, as well, thanks to letters I found on militia ponies and Curwhinny's own notes. He fell in love with mare, Wood Hill, who was betrothed with prominent sailor named Whipperwhill. He broke off their engagement and married Wood Hill, even having foal with her. Whipperwhill's anger, combined with one of Curwhinny's friends, Cinnamon Corn, betraying knowledge to him that Curwhinny had been performing necromancy and had supposedly achieved lichdom, caused him to raise milita to attack catacombs. Curwhinny was sealed away, but his experiments were released and none of attacking militia ponies survived. Wood Hill and her foal with Curwhinny escaped, however. I still have many of notes and letters that document this, if you are interested."

Iron tilts his head as an ear droops. "Eating certain foods are signs of somepony being of lower class?" he asks in mild disbelief.

He tilts his head to the other side, drooping the opposite ear instead. "How did you reach that conclusion?" he asks, plainly curious.

"Well... Zebras are mostly poorer, and the recent immigrants are the poorest of the zebras. The more closely connected to the Zebrican cultures, the poorer."

"Zebras are usually poor?" Iron asks once more, surprised as his minds goes back to the painting Obere had made with all the fancy sights he drew. "...did you ever get to visit Zebrica?"

Silver nods, and gives him all of the notes and letters he had acquired looking through the catacombs...minus those he had given to the Black Hooves previously, but he doesn't mention that. He particularly points out the letter Curwhinny left behind to Wood Hill when Whipperwhill attacked, the correspondance between Whipperwhill and Cinnamon Corn, the account of the 8th century plague, and Curwhinny's own retelling of the events that lead up to him marrying and having a foal with Wood Hill in his final letter to Cinnamon Corn.

"I mean... I mean the immigrants, especially in Manehattan. I have met some ponies who have gone to Zebrica. They tell me many things."
>>130489
Peer Review looks down at the letters, and then looks over to the other stallion
"Mr. Loans, come over here. Look at these."
He starts moving the letters with his own yellow magic

"...how peculiar," Iron surmises as he pokes his chin "perhaps the ones you asked did not really have the best experience there."
One second passes before his ears straighten up in realization, blushing lightly as he meekly shrinks into his seat "Wait, I did not make you uncomfortable by asking all these zebra-related questions, did I?"

Peer Review says to Mr. Loans,
"This pony says that he found these letters down stairs. He says they prove that Curwhinny was a Necromancer, and that there was a dispute over a mare."
The Unicorn repsonds
"I know, I heard him"
Peer Review:
"Then help to check the dates and put these in order. If these are real, they could cause controversy. And that would help to boost the publicity."
>>130498
"Well, it was from Colthage. Some of it was just rice, and there was this jelly like substance I don't remember the name of. That tasted sweet, it was alright."

Sorry I'm late
Amber uses the toilet (which presumably was designed with quadrupeds in mind, and hopefully is not too dirty) washes her hooves and face in the sink, perhaps struggling to figure out how it turns on. She goes into the "kitchen," unlatches her saddlebags and pulls out a parcel wrapped in waxy paper. Unwrapping it reveals some brown bread, cheese, and a couple of tomatoes. What kind of cheese would be common for the area?
She retrieves her knife and washes it in the sink, which hopefully is also not too dirty. About a third of the bread and cheese is cut off into thin slices and one of the tomatoes is cut in half. These she eats slowly, savoring the flavor of each bite. When Amber is finally finished she carefully wraps the remainder of the food, including the tomato half, in the paper and puts it into a cupboard if she has one. She washes the knife and decides to test the taste of the water from the faucet.
