>>132377"Well, it would be shame to leave it here to decompose. Perhaps we can bring it, or at least some of its meat, back?"
>>132378His tail moves from side to side
"We can try"
>>132379"I... think so? I think I recall a mare in my reading group saying she took her foal to the Aquarium. I am less sure if that was Baltimare or in Fillydelphia."
>>132380Silver decides to see how heavy the crocogator is, and decide what to do with it from there.
>>132381It's many hundreds of pounds at least.
>>132382"Well, like a book club. I meet with other mares once every two weeks or so and we gossip and talk about a book we all read."
>>132383He quickly ceases his attempt before he tires himself out.
"Alright, that is not going to work...wish me luck, Mala. I have never skinned crocogator before, but I am going to try."
Silver pulls out his knife, and attempts to skin the crocogator. He hopes to be able to use the creature's hide as a way to carry and hold the meat on the journey home.
>>132384"Oh, well we are going over 'The Mare Who Knew too Much' now. It's a collection of short stories, so you can just read one a week."
>>132385Silver is able to cut down the middle, and cut away around the legs, tail, and neck. Mala gets out a knife, and tries to cut something himself
>>132386Silver looks up from what he's doing when he sees Mala cutting away.
"Going to taste test, I assume?"
>>132387Mala blinks
"I was going to help you cut it..."
>>132388He smiles awkwardly at Mala.
"Oh, uh...sorry. Thank you."
Silver resumes carving the crocogator.
>>132389"Oh, mysteries, murders and such. A detective who tries to uncover crimes. I haven't exactly read them all. To be honest, I liked Whinnying Heights more. Mostly I just talk about other mares at the meetings."
>>132390It's quite a large quantity of meat and skin. Having a boat here would be very helpful.
It's a good opportunity to meet other ponies…
"I haven't read many detective stories but it does sound interesting. The meeting, I mean."
>>132391Indeed, it's something to keep in mind for the future if they ever decide to hunt for crocogator. Silver just hopes what they've gathered is still manageable for them to carry.
>>132392"Oh yes. It's a great way to meet and talk with mares of around my age."
>>132393Mala:
"I can help carry something. I could carry even more if there were something to drag it in."
>>132394"How much of this do you think you could carry?"
>>132395"I think... as much as you can get across my back"
>>132396"Hmm...we will have to see. I can also use rope to secure it to our backs."
>>132397He blinks and looks back at it
"How are we going to get back?"
>>132398"Well...I suppose we carry it. I do not have anything else to bring it in with, unless you have idea."
>>132399She blinks
"No? I am sure there is something somewhere around here. Like at the universities."
>>132400"If we had a boat... Or a truck. Or a cart.... But we are kind of far away anyways. Just walking back would take a while"
>>132401Silver nods.
"Again, I am open to ideas if you have something better."
>>132402"Um... well I think we would have difficulty finding a taxi back... that's all"
>>132403"Hmm...true. Well, we went to all this trouble for this meat. I suppose either we will have to trot all way back home, or find boat rental."
>>132404“Maybe somepony around here will give us a ride in their boat or truck?” He asks
>>132405"That, too. Let me look in this case and get all of this meat and hide strapped up, then we will go see."
Silver grabs the case, and goes to open it.
>>132406The case has a (simple) external lock on it
[1d20+2 = 21]>>132407Strength: Silver, using his knife, attempts to force the lock open.
>>132408crackThe lock breaks right open, opening the box to the inside.
Silver sees its contents: jewelry
There’s a golden chain necklace, a stop watch. A wedding bracelet fit for a pony. A heart locket. Several earrings.
>>132409"Not bad. We will have to find fence for all of this, but not bad."
Silver closes the case, and puts it in his bags. He then starts to prepare the meat and hide for carrying.
"Ready Mala?"
>>132410>I was out petting stray catsI would have expected that response from Sven, but not from you"Well, yes. At the University of Baltimare, or James Haykins. There are many young mares your age, and many stallions too."
>>132411The hide is easily rolled up. Carrying the meat is just a little harder, but it can be placed across the back
"Sure."
Mala carries much of the meat himself
>>132412What he can't carry, Silver carries himself.
"Let us head back into town way we came. Perhaps we will find somepony who will take us in their truck?"
>>132413"Well yes. University of Baltimare is just east of Town center, and James Haykins is in west town."
>>132414Mala looks down at the blood on his fur, and then back up to Silver
"Maybe. We have to carry thiis across the water first though"
>>132416"Yes...let us hurry. I do not want to have to deal with another crocogator."
Silver heads first, backtracking to Sycamore Street.
>>132417The area is too urban and developed to have to deal with Manticore or Hydras... probably. Snakes and bees... that's another story. They make it across the water by wading through it, and through to the dirt road on the other side of the brush, which connects with Sicamore street
>>132418"Oh of course. Over on the other side of here is the writing room"
She takes her across the hallway, and into a room that connects to the library, with a grand chair, a hardwood and leather-topped desk, a couple book shelves, a globe, and walls covered in nautical maps of the world.
>>132420"Well, you certainly could write a book here. Mostly its for writing letters of correspondence."
>>132421Is there anything on the desk?
>>132422A single, blank page, besides a quill pen and ink bottle
>>132419"Thank Celestia..."
Silver continues to backtrack along the dirt road.
>>132424And now Silver is walking down a rural road south east of Baltimare, a decent way away from the city
>>132423Amber will look at what books there are in this private study.
>>132426Some books new and old.
How to Win Friends and Influence Ponies,
The Princess,
The Decline of Faustian Civilization... mostly political/philosophical-esque, with a tendency towards newer titles.
