The coffins are unloaded off the train, one by one. There is a cover the size of a bed sheet to help keep them out of view, but the sight of a coffin is enter to deter most of the curious

Spark is able to find something like a larger and stronger hotel luggage art, that seems to be made for moving baggage around within the train station.

This is quite a bit like rolling a shopping cart out of a grocery store parking lot, for a lot of the same reasons

"Okay... we need to get those two out... but get the sick one there. I don't think he can walk far."

"Then we need to find somewhere to duck behind for a second to get them out. We might draw a few suspicious looks with wolves getting out of the coffins."

Spark, thus far, has found that the area behind the trains is not currently being used (it's another passenger platform with no train at the moment), and perhaps if the coach cars don't have ponies inside looking out, they would block the line of sight. Another option is to try to open them back inside of the baggage car, and see if the wolves themselves can be smuggled out.
A third option is to search the Train Station again

The train station is composed of a number of white concrete island platforms, that connect by open stairways to a pathway above. Spark's train arrived on one of the further platforms. Anything occurring on the furthest platform will be visible to anyone inside of the coach cars who happens to be looking out the right window, and to certain people looking down from the walk way. But it's certainly possible no one would be watching. The sheet covering over the coffins can be used to help cover the line of sight.

"Oh, well if she does then um..." Amber is definitely confused now.

Iron finds himself in the upper office of the boat company, with light from a lone window behind him, and staring at an overly fat brown griffin sitting behind a wooden desk that's been turned over on its side. White Sands stands close and just to the right of the griffin, staring at him.
>>140494
She closes her lips and slightly narrows her eyes, smiling all the same.
"You're almost cute, so innocent and cheery." She starts to move back, then asks
"How would you like to make some more money?"

Amber immediately lightens up. "Really? That would be wonderful! I need to get out of debt really badly."

She waves a hoof in the air
"He'll tell you. I have a meeting to get to"
Her smile is one again more toothy, as she holds the dress higher with her magic
"Try to keep that cheeriness as long as you can. You'll miss it when it's gone."
She begins to walk away. Her tail is curled and styled.

High Sewn is silent, and keeps her eyes on the mare as she leaves. The mare walks surprisingly fast in heels, back through the door, and to the automobile, where the Diamond Dog opens the door

Probably just an adage that old ponies like to say.
Oh colt! Soon I'll be debt-free and I can send money back!

(Okay,) Iron breathed in his head (so that was what he was asking.)
"What other places do you know are ran by your bosses?" Iron questioned.

High Sewn doesn't match Amber. Then again, when has she? She goes outside, and Amber can see she's smoking. Guy resumes competing with Amber for who can talk to or help customers first.

"Like you don't know we are the strongest family run business in Manehattan? A third of the canneries, a quarter of all construction. Half of the garbage collection. And so many bars, nightclubs, and pizzerias. What don't we own?"

More customers come in and High Sewn returns.
Some of these clothes have bizarrely complicated names. "un imperméable" for a raincoat? Guy runs over to insist that it's pronounced in a different way.

"Sorry, I don't speak Griffonian." She says this without a trace of sarcasm.

Spark, with the doctor helping, pushes the cart along to the upper walkway, then down the to bottom, trying to park the cart behind a walkway to obscure it. The doctor holds up the sheet as they pull down the three coffins.
Waabishkie jumps out, then Makade and his rifle. Waabishki takes a moment to look around, before asking Spark
"Are we far from the hospital?"

"A good question. Doc? You wouldn't happen to know, would you?"
Spark then nods to the rifle.
"You might want to leave that in the coffin for now."

"Yes. We need something to transport Miskobag in, and keeping gear in them as well won't hurt."

Amber doesn't press the issue. After all, High Sewn just had to pay for an expensive new window and Amber is much more optimistic today in terms of finances.
Amber sees tonight that there are two additional waiters working tonight. These are Cream Pop, an orange unicorn stallion with a poofy, cream colored mane, and Larkhaven, a white unicorn mare with silver earrings, and dark blood red mane that is held up in a "hive" style. The next big change is that the patio section is open tonight, with some fires and a canvas to break to wind. It's Winter, and today especially has been cloudy with some light rain earlier, so it's questionable how appealing this would be to customers, but the decision has been made to keep it open.
De Sew retains the section she had yesterday, which is
four combination booth-and-tables, and three tables. All in the front.
Melon Mangrove gets the six other tables in the front. Again, parties are preferred here if possible, but De Sew's section and the patio. are options
Cream Pop takes the five booths
Larkhaven gets every table of two in the restaurant, which is six high tables for two, and two on the patio.
Mustard Trim is placed on the patio with six tables of four.

There are currently:
two tables and one combo taken in De Sew's section
two tables taken in Mangrove's
Two booths taken in Cream Pop's section
Three high tables taken (Larkhaven)
And one table outside (Mustard Trim)
Note that the shifts of some of the waiters - like Larkhaven and Mustard Trim - begins at the same time as Amber

She greets her co-workers. "Nice to meet you, Larkhaven. Hello Mustard, good to see you today! Do I look presentable enough as a hostess?" She starts fussing with and straightening her hair and dress.
>>140533
She turns to Amber. Her eye lashes are thin, but long, and she wears mascara
"So you must be the new hostess."
She turns to Amber and grins, but turns away and moves over to her position rather than striking up conversation
Mustard Trim, however, sticks around
"Hi Amber! Don't worry. If anything, you look terrific."

"You seem to work fast," Iron commended with a stoic look as he started to do the math on his head. If this was true, then he'd have an easier time finding the next business to punch over.
"Any big company in particular?" he prodded further.

Iron would soon plant a foreleg on the table the griffon accountant was standing behind, giving the hen a deadpan look. "I am not giving you an option," he stressed. "Either you cooperate, or you will join your workmates."

She shrugs
"I don't know. I wouldn't be surprised if it only exists in Manehattan."
She pulls her lips up to show teeth
"Or if it's since been 'socialized.'"

"Originally from Falcor. Not the brightest in the group, but he's been creative and clever. It was he who thought ahead to buy this place, and who first suggested to come here until the storm dies down. He was an ordinary soldier but proved himself capable and willing to do what was necessary against the Rosenthal Clan. For that, he was allowed to marry into the family and head a section. He can be violent and brutal as necessary. He prefers the services of a hired agent known as Koptis. He is here, likely in the Royale ."

"Koptis... 'Cutter,' as he is called. I am not sure what his real name is, not that it matters for somecreature from obscure origins. He is what we would call a 'Hitgrif.' A professional killer. But he is no griffin. A minotaur of the outer islands who fled to Equestria after killing a policeman there. You can call him a member or call it business. He isn't quite family, but he is loyal all the same."

Looks like Iron will actually fight a minotaur like he said.
inb4 Koptis is actually a Black Hooves member.
"Sounds like a formidable foe," Iron claimed, grinning softly at the idea of fighting him after a good rest to regain his energy. (So beating up those two should provide a good scare.)
"Is he the best fighter the family has in store?" he asked.

"The Ginovicci aren't terribly fond of using their claws, preferring a few strong words and a gun if necessary. But yes. Yes he is, both with a gun and with his hands. Gregory also has his dogs, which he claims are pets."

Iron took a second to nod a couple of times, a sneaking smile starting to form on his face. "So we got a hitpony, a soldier and a couple of warmongrels," he surmised with a tinge of tempered excitement. "Where is this 'Royale' place?"
