>>143215It is so. The one group is still waiting.
>>143216Aww... okay. My internet is cutting in and out, anyways >>143137He gives Jubee a kiss goodbye, makes his way downstairs to exit the house, and departs to find a taxi.
>>143218She moves back ever so slightly in surprise, before giving a small smile.
Silver makes his way out. Taxis are not as plentiful in this section of the city, but one is found nevertheless.
>>143219Once Silver gets in, he asks of the driver,
"I need your help if you can. I need to find places for date with someone tonight."
>>143220The Zebra stallion answers,
"You lookin' for something fancy to impress her, something quick, or something with opportunities?"
>>143221"Something fancy, though I am curious what you mean by opportunities."
>>143222“Well, you know. When ya’ watchin’ a movie, and you want to place a leg around her. Or better, when ya’ want to start smooching’ her and not be seen. Now as for fancy? I say the Orgueil.” Pronouncing the last word as “or-gay”
>>143223"Hmm...that is certainly something to keep in mind. Now, this 'Or-Gay', you would not happen to know if they serve carnivore dishes, would you?"
>>143224“Now that, I do
not know. Think they serve fish though. It’s griffin based.”
>>143225Silver smiles.
"Perfect. Can you take me there so I can make reservation."
>>143226He pauses for a moment.
“Yeah, sure.”
The vehicle drives on down the main road, and then through the cowtown neighborhood, before coming to Eastside
>>143227After they stop and Silver pays the fare, he asks the driver,
"Can you stay out here? I will be right back out after making reservation and I have other places I need taken to."
>>143228"Sure thing."
It's not an especially high class neighborhood, being between the industrial and residential areas of Cowtown, and the City Center. But on the outside, the building almost resembles an old manor house, with dark wood covering a porch along the entry, and white walls on the second floor.
Entering, Silver finds something like a foyer, though bigger, and with the hostess stand near the front. At the stand is a unicorn stallion with dark brown fur, and behind him are wooden stairs going up to a second level that wraps around on the left with wooden railing.
>>143229Silver trots up to this stallion.
"Hello, I would like to make reservation for dinner later tonight. Party of two."
>>143230The stallion looks over to Silver, then slowly down to the sheet, and then back up to Silver
"What time?"
His voice seems accented
>>143232He looks back down, using magic to pick up a set of glasses
"We have an opening for 5:15" He answers
>>143234"Under what name?" He asks, looking back up at Silver over his lenses.
>>143236"Alright." He looks down, and with a movement of yellow magic and a feather-tipped pen, he makes marks on an unseen object behind the table.
"And I have you down for 5:15"
>>143237"Thank you! We will be there!"
Assuming their business is done, he heads back out to the taxi.
"Know of any nice spas?"
>>143238"Spa? What do I look like, a pretty pink pony?"
>>143239"No, but I thought there was chance one of your previous passengers asked to be taken to address of one."
>>143240He looks up, and leans his head back against the seat.
"Now I can't recall if it was a spa. But there was something over in Colton Hill. And of course there are plenty of fancy places just west of Lord Baltimare plaza."
>>143241"Let us try Colton Hill, then, if it pleases you."
>>143244The vehicle drives down a central avenue in East side south, then makes a turn onto another avenue, and then a turn north. He stops outside of a stucco covered building with grass around it.
"Huh. It
is here."
Nice, I can get an early start
>>143246"Perfect! Wait here, I still have couple of places to go."
He pays this fare, and heads inside the building.
>>143247>>143215The mother and her two fillies sit down in the booth, as the newly arrived couple sits down at a high table nearby. The two stallions and two mares remain.
>>143248Inside is a waiting room and a wooden counter. A rather young looking pink mare behind the counter smiles at Silver as he enters.
>>143249He smiles back.
"Hello there! I was wondering I could make reservation for couple's session here, if that was something you offered."
>>143249Amber hopes they'll be satisfied customers.
>>143250"A couple's session?" She says smiling. "We have hooficure and sauna packages, as well as mane styling."
>>143252"Those sound excellent. Can you describe some of your packages for me? I would like something to truly pamper my date and I."
>>143251[1d4 = 4][1d4 = 2][1d4 = 1][1d4 = 1][1d4 = 2]>>143253"Well, here we have the 'Spring Valley' which includes a hooficure with river stones, a message, and then sauna. Here we have the 'Royale' which includes the same but with massaging for the hardest to relieve back tension. Here is just the sauna, and here you can add a hot bathing experience. With mountain melt water, of course. Well, technically that's true of most river water, but I mean it is taken from far up the river. No pollutants. We have incense to burn that helps to clear out the lungs...."
>>143255>>143251Another couple enters, and a pair of stallions.
One of Mustard trim's tables leaves
[1d2 = 2] >>143256The two stallions and mares are directed to Mustard's now vacant table.
It's not good to burden him so…, she thinks to herself.
>>143254"I think we will have Royale with hot bathing and incense, and also mane styling. Are there any other services or treatments you provide?"
>>143258"Well yes, we have mane and feather care, coat trimming, hoof messages, and mud and herbal treatments."
>>143259"Mud treatments? Like mud bath?"
>>143260"Well, yes. We cover the skin and fur in special mineral mixtures."
>>143261"I think we will take it all, one for each of us. I do have one more question. Your services like hooficures, can you perform them for griffons, too?"
>>143257Perhaps better, it was a table with a group.
Still, the four ponies are seated, pleasantly surprised at the heating.
>>143262"Griffins...?" She seems uncertain at first.
"Sure... we can handle exotic claws as well."
>>143263"Wonderful! Do you have slot open for after 6 or 6:15?"
>>143263The smell of food from the restaurant makes Amber hungry, she hopes she can get off soon.
>>143265Various stews and soups seem to be among the more common items, although there is a fairly large amount of spice. Bread, too, is a common sight, and it looks like a new set has just been heated and delivered
Two waiting couples, one free outdoor table.
>>143264"A.M. Tomorrow? We don't open
quite that early."
