>>142934"Alright. Remember we are avoiding being stopped and questioned, especially with a weapon on us."
>>142935The Doctor:
"Yes. Yes, very much. The location is still fairly far away. Several miles, I mean. You could walk it if you wanted to. I don't know what Whinnyapolis looks like in the occupation, but I know the main roads. We can go down Hinnypin until it gets to Pine, or do a few twists down 15th and Saltberry. The former is a more mainline road, and the latter is through less commercial areas of town."
>>142936"We might as well set off now if it is that far out."
>>142937"Um... any preference for which way?"
>>142938"Do you think the twists will help avoid patrols?"
>>142939"Well, the main roads will almost certainly have more Changeling gendarmes, and maybe even checkpoints. But it will have more ponies and... other creatures in general. The back way will likely have fewer of both."
>>142940"Fewer of both is preferred. Less questions means less chances to be reported."
>>142941"Well, alright. We can go east to try to get there"
The ponies and wolves leave down stairs and outside, and the doctor directs them onto the road north.
Roll die
>>142943They don't go particularly far before a police stallion walks by. he is marked as belonging to the WPD
[1d4 = 4] >>142944Spark waves the others to hide off to the side for a moment.
>>142945The wolves peel off to the side, while the doctor moves back and forth, as if confused about what to do.
The Police stallion slows down, looking over towards Spark and the doctor, clearly taking interest in the group. He's coffee brown, and wears a dark blue uniform.
>>142946"We need to visit a business to get an alibi for the box."
>>142947"I don't think we have time for that" the doctor says
The Police Stallion walks up to Spark and the doctor.
"What are you up to tonight?"
>>142908Silver stops his celebration midway through to give Khoi a concerned look.
"Mind sharing what those concerns are?"
>>142949"Well..." She looks down
"You are... you are... you are
older than me. Then there is that you don't desire the noble path. I know most ponies would not but... the difference is there. And then there is
Jubilosa. You are youxia. I admire that. But these problems... they are much to overcome."
>>142950"Да, I see these problems, but they can be overcome. I may not be ideal kirin, but I can show you what ideal Silver looks like."
>>142951She returns a restrained smile
"I would like to see that."
>>142952He smiles back.
"You will see at least some of him on our date, tomorrow. You will not regret it."
>>142953She moves her hoof, formerly before her mouth, and moves it in a small wave to Silver
>>142954Silver waves back, before going to find the washer and dryer she mentioned under the house.
>>142955Silver goes down the stairs to the outside, and looks under the building. To the right of the center is a small enclosed room. It's left-most walls are supported on each corner by wooden beams that stand in the middle of the home, and seem to keep it up. It's walls generally, however, do not seem to bare weight, as they are composed of horizontal planks that if anything, seem thin and weaker than standard construction. This little room has one door on the left to enter, which has a simple lock on it. To the left of the room is a dirt section evidently intended to allow parking a cart, an automobile, or even a boat if desired.
Presumably, the refrigerator Silver bought is down here as well.
>>142956"Locked?"
Silver decides to try out the house key on the lock.
>>142957>>142957The standard house key works. It opens to a small room that has naked pipes coming from above and down, what looks like a water heater on the side, a floor that is mostly concrete but has a square of wood in one section, walls that are plain board though with what look almost like rungs in the middle, a little empty space mostly closer to the road, an outlet on one of the large support beams (the one nearer the ocean and the center of the house), and most importantly, a washer and a dryer.
>>142959Excellent! Silver definitely goes back upstairs to look for laundry detergent, and to gather the bedsheets for laundry.
>>142960The sheets are moved downstairs easily enough. There is one small container of detergent in the utility room, but none upstairs.
Khoi comments on this process
"I can wash it. If I can find out how to work the machines..."
>>142961Silver actually blushes a little when Khoi suggests it.
"Eh...are you sure? There is quite lot of, well, me on these."
>>142962This makes her pause, throw her hooves up, and close her eyes
"I'll let you do it."
>>142963Silver nods.
"It would be appreciated if you put them in dryer after they are done washing, though."
>>142965He smiles.
"Thank you."
Alright, time to set the sheets to wash.
>>142966It's rather fortunate these things exist. It's simple enough to load the washer, add detergent, and wait
>>142967Definitely. What wonderful times Silver lives in. It's turned on, right?
>>142968Yes. No. Wait. Okay, so there's a button there. No, that one doesn't work. What about that button? No. You have to turn the knob first. Okay,
now press the button. That seems to work. OH GOD, IT'S GOING TO EXPLODE! Wait. That's just how it works. Got it!
>>142969"Whew! Like magic. Clean those up really well, machine!"
He pats the top of the running machine, then returns upstairs to see how/what Jubilosa is doing.
>>142970Jubilosa has gone outside onto the balcony. She leans over, looking at the bay.
>>142971Silver joins her, standing up on his hindlegs and drapping his forelegs over the rail.
"Well, sheets have been set to wash. How is your rump doing?"
>>142972She looks back, and grins at Silver's words
"It's a good pain" she answers
>>142973"As long as it is good, I suppose."
He rubs his head up against her.
"It was rather erotic watching you go to bathroom. Your butt looked like cream puff."
>>142948"The doctor and I, as witnesses, are helping these two wolves here take their documentation for the passing of their father back home. They are far too upset to handle any legal work at the moment."
>>142975He looks closely at the two wolves, who are further away
"And where is home?"
Roll bluff>>142974"Pfft!"
She giggles at this
>>142976"Just a couple more miles from here. A long walk for such a day, but that's life."
[1d20+3 = 12] >>142977>>142978>>142975The police stallion looks away from the group, and down the curved road, back the direction the creatures came from, and back to the hospital. Then he looks back to Spark.
"I see. Well, be back before nightfall. Curfew begins at 7 PM."
>>142976He giggles with her. Once it's passed, he looks up into her eyes.
"Anyways, why I am here: would you like to go on date later today?"
>>142980She smiles at him in a nearly devious sort of way
"Sure"
>>142981A trickle of ponies pass by, not stopping to talk to Amber
Two Diamond Dogs arrive
>>142979Spark nods and motions the rest forward.
>>142981Hi again!
>>142983He smiles brightly.
"What do you think of dinner and visit to spa?"
