Iron got his ass beat and has pissed off a whole criminal syndicate, Amber is doing some shady shit at the police station, Silver is making friends, and Spark is enjoying Whinnysotan hospitality.

"What? No! I meant to justice, because it's their job to carry an investigation through to the end! Maybe you're projecting your own paranoia, or even dishonesty, onto them!" She raises her voice to ensure that she's the one being paid attention to.

Iron was tough enough to swallow it either way, only that he was forced to cough a few times from the sudden 'attack' by the drink as his snout scrunched up.

"Be shot at by a sniper while you are walking from a restaurant to your home, and I assure you, you will be paranoid too. In this city it makes no sense not to be. The bottom line is that we are here to fight a war. And it's not a gentleman's war of officers, swords, and fancy uniforms, its ones where the combatants don't wear uniforms and commit acts of murder while hiding among the civilian population. And this particular case is a part of that war. I don't care if we step on someone's hooves in fighting that war, because the bottom line is that many have already died because of this, and many more will likely die before it is done. I am well aware that that could include me. And so I will take it into my own hooves to see this investigation through."

Khoi moves around the perimeter, placing a hoof up towards her muzzle as she inspects the walls of the garden

"Hmmm... the side further from the sea is higher than the other side... And will any water actually remain in the soil, or will it just all wash through? We might need to think more about this. Maybe remove some of the soil here, and install a layer of clay..."

>>146175
Stalwart answers
"War?! That's exactly it. This is exactly what they did in Manehattan. First the Blackhooves agreed to multi-party government, and let Manehattan elect its own government, which was a coalition of left and right. Then those who didn't want to collaborate with the Blackhooves resigned, then with a few assassinations and a plane crash, a completely unknown secretary of education took hold of the Harmonist party, who promptly turned it into the "Ponies Party" and tried to advance an agenda kind of like the Blackhooves. And then, what dumb luck? A crowded subway train explodes, and an investigation says it's a resistance bomb with foreign parts that was supplied by organized crime. So the local Manehattan police chief declares a crusade against leftist and harmonist rebels, and organized crime at the same time. Of course organized crime was always unpopular, so it's popular to target them. Then the Blackhooves decide to go all in to do the same, because they want to support the new Manehattan government. They say that members of local gangs are all foreign-supported guerrillas and so not afforded the protections given to criminals or even uniformed enemy combatants. And that turns into a mess quickly. A huge mess.

So over here, we have a crime that discredits the elected SDP leadership to the ponies of Baltimare, and also a claim that maybe, just maybe, SDP leadership and organized crime are aiding guerrillas? It seems more likely they want to replace us, while saving face and pretending to respect rule of law, multi-party government, and elections. This isn't fighting a war, this is escalating, or even starting one."

Now Iron glanced at the shot that had previously stung him with a bit of doubt, wondering just how powerful these drinks could get.
Nonetheless, he shook his head before pointing at Cauldron's glass. "I assume you are used to this stuff, right?" he suggested with a hint of a playful tone, wondering if she could down it as fast as he did without wincing.

Khoi tilts her head
"I don't really know"
She turns her head to her left, and Silver's right. West.

"The Sun is still up. But it is low in the sky."

Seeing his attempts at putting a competitive vibe to this whole drinking game went as sour as they could get, Iron slowly replaced his playful smile for a more optimistic one. "I am sure it helps a lot when taking some of the stingy potions, right?" he offered as he stepped just a little bit closer towards Cauldron."A strong stomach allows for more options."

Makade goes upstairs, and Waabishki tentatively agrees to share the room with him. This leaves the Doctor, and Spark

She raises a lip, and even folds an ear in absolute confusion for a span of perhaps five seconds. But she returns to a more normal expression.

We are clearly on different lines of thought, Iron pointed out to himself in his mind coupled with the smallest purse of his lips. Maybe we should speak in a more... intimate manner instead.
Thus, his snout approached Cauldron's, starting to grin a little more confidently. "It is a good thing we have eachother to double our strength, then," he slyly tried to compliment her in order to improve the mood.

She goes easy on him, pulling away with a pleased smile after some seconds, looking over to her left - evidently over towards White Sands - and then back to Iron.

“Being stronger together... I think we should talk about that. What kind of future you want. Can you imagine if you are successful in the turf war? What kind of attention that will bring to you? And this potion making... I don’t think many in our, our group are doing that. There is much opportunity here.”

Iron couldn't help but blink once or twice blankly, seemingly having not questioned himself that far ahead as he himself processed what she had just asked about. "I... did not think that far," he admitted with the faintest hint of a pout. "All I really strived for so far here is winning your heart and make your dreams come true."

Iron gasped out slightly at the belly poke, surprised to feel her hoof down there so suddenly as his cheeks reddened ever further. "I-I mean," he uttered somewhat skittishly with a deep blush on his cheeks. "It does help to have some fat for an extra burst of energy."
