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

"I've heard about Ferris wheels and carousels and all the lights that make a carnival so lively, but I've only ever been to local festivals. They were nice but not nearly as impressive, just folks bringing together the things they've grown and made over the course of a summer." She grins and continues, "I've read about cockatrices and manticores and all sorts of odd creatures, but I've never had the chance to see any in person. Do you think there's a dragon in Baltimare?"

"I hope I encounter one–in a nice way, of course. You know a lot about the city and I couldn't find out so much by just wandering around. Thank you."

"I don't want to take up too much of your time but…I have another question." She taps the stone floor of the sacristy? with her hoof nervously. "Does the church offer any loans?"

"I understand," Iron replies before looking from side to side, considering his options for the day.

She's blushing as she looks at the floor, with her auburn mane nearly touching her white-tinged snout.
"I rented an apartment as cheaply as I could but even so I didn't have enough money for the down payment, and I was told I didn't have any options. I had to take a loan from a local bar…I'll pay it back no problem in a week but being in debt is such an itchy feeling. I'm just wondering if you have any advice."

She looks anxious, as her head is locked forward looking at nothing
"I've never been in prison and released, but I imagine it must be like this. Being released from prison, I mean. What do you do after being in a cage for so long, being separated from any ties you have in greater society? No job anymore, no family here..."

Iron's ears droop as he heard Sands' response with a nod. "I apologize for putting that burden on you," he offers, vines swinging inside his head in an attempt to find out what sort of thing they could "...maybe you would want to come along to some of my potential jobs."

Iron nods once more as he pokes his chin. "At what time would you estimate the response to arrive?" he promptly as he starts to turn his body towards the door while still looking at Sands.

"Then let us see if we can find something that is worth our while," Iron replies as he starts to walk out the building, feeling like visiting the illegal live animal seller or Cauldron after she's done with her teaching. Considering the latter pony is going to be stuck for a while in the restaurant, he plans to first pass along the restaurant in order to find out if she managed to finish Khoi's training for the day and if true, ask her about where to find some gangster jobs. Otherwise he'd go to the former mare for that same reason. Sands can, at any moment, propose something herself if something pops into her mind.

Correct, in search for the mythical striped zebra mare with reluctant affiliations to the mob for a more private talk, without the father present, to be more precise.

Iron walks into the restaurant. Blanche is there, but Oke, Cauldron, and Khoi are not in line of sight

Spotting Blanche, Iron walks towards her without much pretext. "I should have asked this the last time I was here, but is Cauldron available for a little chat?"

She looks to him, and has a mostly neutral expression
"She's in the kitchen. I don't know how much time she has"

Iron moves towards the back of the room, towards steel doors, as Blanche watches him cautiously. Opening the door, Iron can see Black Cauldron in a white garb with a hair shield, and Khoi in a similar white garb with an overly stretched hair shield

Seeing all the hair shielding on Cauldron and Khoi make him tilt his head softly as he tries closing the steel doors before prancing towards the two mares. "Huh," Iron lets out in order to announce himself "that is one strange set of clothes. Should I be wearing it right now?"

I know Sardonic is going to go "ackshually, it's called 'x'," but the point is they are wearing clothing to prevent hair from getting in the food, and I don't have the time to figure out what those things are called
Black Cauldron walks up to him
"yes. What do you need?"

Iron turns his head before back at Cauldron. "I may want to... exercise my forelegs for a reward, if you get what I mean," he whispers to her "Do you have anything of the sort?"

"No. I don't." She walks up closer, and seems to be trying to get him out of the kitchen

With a nod, Iron turns around to get out of the kitchen. "Alright," he answers "sorry for disturbing you." He glances at Khoi and waves with a "I know you can do it, Khoi! You have that spark in you!" before complying with Cauldron's wishes fully, exiting the kitchen.

Iron's ear flickers at hearing Cauldron's steps behind him still, glancing a bit sideways in anticipation.
