Fantasy opens her smiling mouth and is about ot say something when she closes it again. She sighs as she realizes that she has to be serious for a second.
"You're the best alternative to get ponies their lands back."

Silver nods after a couple seconds of contemplation.
"Alright then. You know you are free to tell me whatever is on your mind when you want to, yes?"

She answers
"Oh, so this is about West Equestria. For that, you may want to join the Army. In the SSA, our focus is on keeping the land we have. The Anarchists and the Communists want to try to rip away Baltimare and form their own Non-State, or join it in a larger "Equestrian Socialist Republic." Opposing these measures may seem less important, but without stable supply lines and lines of communication here, the larger empire cannot prevail deeper inland in Equestria,"

"Well, it's just... why are you doing this?"

"And I am part of household as a stranger?"

Out of game:
So our the army fighting against the changelings or are they up fighting griffins? If they are fighting griffins why is she talking about west Equestria for? How are they more related to these issues than these guys. None ofthem seem to be fighting on that front anyway. I'm just asking. Not trying to be like mean or anything. I truly just don't get it and is more curious than anything.
I will try to make up a reason for staying in this place since I meet up with Amber.

That faction is actively fighting griffins on a different continent, and has a truce with the Changelings. The truce with the Changelings isn't really expected to last very long, which is why she talks about it like it's an active war. Fantasy Play is much more likely to encounter changelings right there in Baltimare with the Blackhooves than in the Army.
Fantasy could probably also just leave and go find Amber
>>133227
"SSA" is the name of the branch, "Black Hooves" is the name of the political party. The blackhooves and the SSA are the same thing, she's just being more formal

Well, then I'll keep to this city because I'll try to meet her after I'm done becoming a member of this SSA.

"Eh, can't I just join them later when they start fighting on the west front again? I don't really care for where I help so long as I help and ponies who ldevote themselves to communism in this point in time can literally go fuck themselves," Fantasy says while waving her hood away dismissively at the end. "Besides, I don't wanna travel even more." She grins sheepishly and scratches the back of her head.

"I assure you, if war breaks out with the Hegemony, the Army will be looking for recruits."
She smiles at the "go fuck themselves" part
"Don't worry. You're needed right here in Baltimare. Especially with so many agents transferred over to Manehattan."

"Huh... Well those could be rather useful"
Unless there is some desire to play out the acquisition of the components, or the acquisition of components was just a cover for some other activity, let's assume that over a period of an hour or less Fantasy Play acquired all of the required components and Mr. Snuggles I think that's the cat's name. Blue Skies often watches over Fantasy's shoulders, observing her actions as if not trusting her. But she also disappears for a period of time, only later showing up on the street.

That sounds fine. The cat's anme was Slogo but Mr. Snuggles sounds better, or more fitting in this universe, so we retcon it to be his name.
"Master Blue skies. Where were you?" Fantasy asks the reappearing pony she meets onthe street. Is this fine?

"Now, what we're trying to do, is to locate a printing press being used to spread dissent. An informant showed us a paper printed by one, and it contained many statements that shouldn't be spread, like details about the uprising in Manehattan, and anti-government propaganda. We believe the printing press is being operated by the Anarchists, but it doesn't really matter who is operating it because it needs to be shut down regardless. We can shut it down ourselves, or just note the location so a raid can take it down later."

"It's hard to say exactly how to do it, and really, there isn't just one right way to do it. But remember that the anarchists don't know that you aren't one of them. You can just talk to them, ask them who does what, say you were a paper girl when you were younger, ask some questions like if they need help with ink supplies or distribution, or anything like that, and soon you could get much closer. I get by usually with just lies, but since you have magic, well, you can probably do even more."

"What? No? Well, sort of. It used to be the old debtors prison, more than a century ago. But it isn't now. Right now it is a crime scene. Some sort of cult or something, and these foreigners and their mercenaries weren't very delicate in putting it down."

"Mm." Fantsy brings up a hoof to her chin. "Truth be told, Master Sky, I don't think I'll make a very convincing anarchist. I just can't fathom why a pony now of all times would do something so detrimental to themselves and other ponies. All I can imagne is that they base their view entirely on misconceptions and misinformation but if I'm wrong and play up a strawpony version of their beliefs they could use this to set us up or something,"

We have a few of their pamplets. What we don't know is which building it is."

"Sure, I'm ready to go there but the more I think about this the more I wonder if this will work. It feels like only a few high up ponies would be in on the location of the printers and they would probably keep low profile with their views in public. A mission like this is more of a longer undercover infiltartion mission were one would have to rise in the ranks to even gain valueable clues or I'm I overestimating them?"

"Old books where everypony is poor and ponies try to take advantage of each other. I always thought it was exaggerated, or at least happened a long time ago…" She continues, "I hadn't seen any signs of gangs before around here, not that I've been around very long."
Who's the pony version of Dickens?

"Possible, yes, but i think you over estimate how organized the Anarchists are. These printing presses are kind of hard to acquire and to stock with paper and ink. Radios to gain the information from across the continent are just as hard. Just start asking about ink and soon enough you'll find somepony who wants help stocking more. Or track down whoever is distributing the papers and find out who they get it from. If we were dealing with communists, you could expect more secrecy and discretion."
>>133333
If only I knew...
"No, it's definitely hear in the city, preying on the poor and downtrodden. But it's been less violent."

Now her grin is more playful
"And you shall not have to kill a pony. We are only dealing with Anarchists here."
Then she drops her smile for a more serious expression
"Our employer prefers that no one dies. Not even in self defense, and especially that we do shoot first. But if you have to, I think you'll know what to do. And if you still don't, I do."
>>133337
She sighs
"These ones don't target just new comers, but immigrants. Creatures who the government doesn't even know were ever here."

She takes the two to twenty-eighth street, and then to where it intersects with Laffter street. There, they find "Merrily Minted Manes," a barber shop or beauty parlor of sorts on the first floor of what seems to be a two story building. The glass allows some ability to see inside, and it looks to be open.
Skies takes a special note of a piece of cloth, and words written on a piece of cardboard displayed in the window over to the left
"The red and black flag... 'We support the Unions and the right to organize'"

Amber's ears flip back at the use of such rough speech–at least she instinctively senses its vulgarity. However, curiosity gets the better of her. "What do you mean, sir? I thought it was about smugglers and customs agents."

There's a few simple chairs near the entrance for Fantasy, unless she wants to commandeer a barber's chair.
It's only a few more cuts, and maybe three minutes before she is done with the stallion. He looks at her and smiles, says "thank you minty," and she smiles to him and says "see you on the line," and he raises his hoof to her. No exchange of money takes place there before he leaves. She looks over to Fantasy with dark blue eyes and says. "Well young filly, I do believe you're next." She smiles in a charming enough way.

"Oh well this'll make a believer out of ya. There were wearing robes in a heated building and were all gathered around this old stallion that got stabbed to death or something, and let me tell you they had this altar in the center of like an old chapel. And they had a stallion on a slab cut from his neck down to his junk. And this stallion was still alive, like some back woods surgery shit going on here, but there was no surgery or doctor. And they did the same thing to a deer. I'd never seen a deer before but fuck me, they had one on a slab like it's a damn nightmare night treat offering."

Fantasy walks to a barber stol and sits down. She looks into the mirror and shakes her head a bit so her mane's fringe falls forward and actually cover her eyes.
Now she can't see.
"What do you think? My friend over there have been moaning on me to get a hair-cut but I don't see what the problem is?"

"Aye. Half the office is over up in Manehattan huntin' snipe or something and the other half's chekin' fruit crates in the harbor, so the agency pawns off handlin' smugglers to the anti-partisans, who just promise we'll pay them for every live alien they turn in. Heheheh, didn't do a very good job at that. You shoulda seen the main hall. One of them poor hook nosed bastards was roasted like a chicken that got caught in the electric fence. There was blood and oil everywhere on the floor. Did somethin' similar in the chapel. You shoulda seen the ones they tied down and captured. They were scared shitless."
>>133370
"Hehe" she smiles, and pulls aside her mane with her hoof
"Let's get this cut to something a little more... stylish. Just a little. And a little more practical."

Disoriented and brooding over what just transpired, Amber doesn't have anywhere specific to go. Perhaps her legs will lead her someplace without her realizing it, or perhaps she'll get a nudge from an unlikely source.
It's too early to go home–and I don't want to go home with that fresh on my mind–and too late to be exploring a whole other part of the city…

Trying to fit some idea of 'professional' for a new job? Do you just want to change how you look? Or are you tired of running into lampposts?"

The pony rears up on her hind legs and holds herself there, standing behind and over Fantasy as both look into the mirror. She places her forehooves on each side of Fantasy’s head.
“Yes, though keeping it that way is going to require maintenance. We just pull this up here” she pulls some of Fantasy’s mane around her ears up and forward “layer it, cut the first layer, and maybe pulls some of the mane back here up and over” she pulls on a section of Fahtasy’s mane further back. “And we cut it all short enough so you can see, walking forward.” Of course fantasy can’t necessarily see what she is doing, but she can feel it.

The mare pushes her bangs down, cuts it straight across, and then gathers a set of hair that normally falls to the side in two separate bunches, cutting them straight across and making them fall forward. Then she moves on to a third layer. Fantasy can swiftly tell that her ears do much of the work in keeping the mane in place, as much of it would want to fall to the side. She doesn’t do a bad job at imitating Songbird’s style, but it seems to be missing something with the front layer of the bangs cut above the mane.

“I can understand that. A mane is an essential part of a mare’s identity, and you want it to reflect both who inspires you but also a bit of yourself. As for maintenance, it’s not that complicated, but you’ll need to carefully comb the layered segments and keep it between your ears and facing forward. Otherwise, it will just fall down to the sides.”

Fantasy leans her head backwards a bit as she speaks to the earth-pony mare. "Since Cloudy had been nagging me for a while now to get a mane-cut, I brought her with me out to look for one. It was actually her that picked this shop out. Though... She said she never been here before... Hmm... What does that flag mean?" Fantasy waves a hoof towards the flag in the window.
Well, good. Then we haven't skipped forward yet, right?

There is no skipping forward unless desired
“It’s nice to see you two ponies here. One of the best parts of operating a shop is meeting new creatures and talking to them. Hearing their stories...
Oh that? That’s the red and black. They call it Anarcho-Syndicalism, but that’s a more theoretical way of looking at it. Really, it’s about equality, rejection of hierarchy, the unity of all creatures, and freedom of the self while being part of a larger community.”

It’s a square piece of cloth that was most likely intended to be a large bandana, but it could be used as a flag

"Oh, so its like political stuff then," Fantasy says a bit downtrodden. She looks down into her lap and shifts a bit in her seat. "I'm not too big on poltitical stuff. Ponies just argue."

“Well... that makes sense. Mostly I just have it up because the Fascists banned the workers right to organize and bargain for their wages. And that’s not right. It’s to show solidarity with the workers who live around here and who are my customers.”

“Well, you know, to show that I support them and stand with them, and with the non-pony creatures of the city against the Fasvist occupiers.”

Fantasy begins to nods so that if the barber cuts at that moment she misses.
"That's brave," Fantasy says.

She smiles, and doesn’t even seem to notice her scissors clipping air And thankfully not Fantasy’s ear
“Bravery is needed in these hard times.”

Fantasy is silent for a bit and chews her own lips.
"Do you have like something that I could read about this on? Uh, like, you know, I have seen political ponies give out papers with their thoughts on before. Do you have something like that?"

“Well....” she moves back, pulling away from Fantasy's mane
“Have you wondered what’s been going on in Manehattan since the new governor took over?”

She shakes her head
“The newspapers the big publish companies print are censored by the fascist government. They don’t tell you everything that’s going on about uprisings, riots, and The War. And then there’s what’s been going on with the unions. That’s not banned, exactly, but the newspapers don’t cover it.”

Fantasy gasps and her eyes go wide. She tiltes her head back and peers up at the mare.
"So they are not telling the truth?"

“No”
She shakes her head
“Not all of it. It’s a very different world away from the smaller towns. One with great struggles. But it’ll effect the small towns too, where it doesn’t already.”

"Well, yes. The Fascists want to centralize power. The Communists too, but that's a different story. They are helping the landowners slowly to aggregate land for themselves, and leave the rest in the countryside too. And as things industrialize it gets worse. All of the smaller crafts businesses and shops get pushed out by the bigger ones, until eventually it will just be those who own things and those who don't. It's happening slowly, but its been going on for a long time. And the Fascists want to divide the creatures by nations, and place one nation against the other. In this way they drain even more resources that we make for them."

Fantasy seems to mull over this. She shakes her head.
"To be honest I didn't get all of that. It was a bit complicated but I don't like the thought of having dad's blacksmith be closed down for a bigger factory."
Fantasy won't make anymore moves towards having this mare give her some of those pamphlets or lead the converstaion into more polticial topics. The mare will be the one to take that initative now or nothing will happen.
While I don't think you need to hury up, I'm kinda done with this scene. Is was a fun scene but since this "going in for the kill" >>133471 missed, I have lost my enthusiam.
Do what you want, I'll still play but as fast as the topic changes to a none-political topic I want the scene to play on autopilot with Fantasy speaking about mundane things in cherry or pleasent tone of voice with this mare before finishing the cut and leaving.
Also, where is Mr. Snuggles in this scene? Is he outside at the entrence or what has happened to him? We never specify this. Is Fantasy's cat dead or alive right now? Well, the only way is to check. Heh heh, I'm so funny.

Mr. Snuggles is back withShrodinger in Blue Skies' lap. Not that the two particularly get along, but she keeps a hold of him.
It doesn't necessarily miss just because she wants to talk more after the question...
"Yes... It's very hard to live through... I have a few pamphlets somewhere that summarize most of this. They are very informative. But they don't really tell you much you don't see living in the city. It's like they clarify your thoughts, or show you the wider world."

If you really want to carry this on I can, otherwise I'll be there for the next session, hopefully while being more timely.

Um... Unless you know what you want to do with Amber I do not know what to do. I know there was hope to meet up with Fantasy but that looks a little difficult at the moment

Honestly I am just as uncertain as you are which is why I'm leaving it in the hands of the DM. All the sight-searching's been done and it was great, but now it's on to the next part. Whatever you come up with I'll play along.

Waking up the next morning, Dark Star finds he's woken up late, with Blue Skies long since gone. But the blankets are thick, making him cozy in the otherwise cold room, and sleeping in is well welcome. Dark Star easily catches a taxi to the orphanage, where after careful negotiation, Sister Marery lets the two colts out early to go to the docks with Dark Star (their lessons were halfway done by this point anyways). Dark Star's experience on the pier into Horseshoe Bay, and then later by the banks of the Delamare River, is quite enjoyable to say the least, helping him bond with the foals. But they have to be sent back eventually. This is where we meet Dark Star (or even the next day).
