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.
>>146505Amber hangs back slightly and asks them,
"What do the offices contain that's so important?"
>>146506The bat answers
"Case files is what we are after. That, and notes or other information collected by the detectives."
>>146503"We are quite lucky. This is one amazing view."
>>146508She smiles, and looks back to Silver
>>146509Okay, this requires another luck roll for the little pony
[1d20 = 10]
>>146510My luck hasn't been too great, will it get better?
[1d20 = 8]
>>146511>>146510>>146509Sunnyside Meadows volunteers an answer, and the pegasus' ears swivel to hear.
"It's a high profile case. They probably moved it to the chief's office, near the end of the hallway on the other side."
>>146513"We have authority granted by the head of State and the Secretary of the Interior. That's higher than the chief." She says, moving forward
>>146515This little pony gets another luck roll
Hopefully these things are not too obnoxious
>>146516Nah, one day these will pay off.
[1d20 = 5]
>>146510Silver looks to his Jubee, and smiles.
"Person who recommended this place said they have fish. I hope it is 'deli-fish'."
He can't stop himself from smiling wider at his own pun.
>>146519Amber's mouth hangs open.
"Uh, where did you get it? I'm guessin' you didn't visit his house to ask him for it?""
>>146429“If you use a gun, that might alert more. The neighborhood could be filled with snitches that hope to gain favor by reporting an altercation. You would be putting your parents at risk even if no more changelings arrive.”
>>146519"From one the detectives earlier.
While you were with the red stallion." She answers
>>146522"All the same, I'd rather have it than not have it" He answers
>>146520She looks confused, but the confusion is broken by a unicorn waiter, who lights a candle and places it on the table, places glasses of water, and several menus.
"Would you care for something off of our wine menu?" He asks
>>146523Silver looks over at the waiter.
"Yes. You would not happen to have anything from Southern Griffonia? Sicameon?"
>>146524The blue pegasus continues forward, with the white griffin right behind her. But the bat answers Amber
"Probably to lock up the doors at night."
She tilts her head
"What brings a little earth pony filly here so late at night? Didn't I see you at the scene of an alleged politically motivated crime, this afternoon?"
>>146525"Yes. Sicameon, Asterion, Wingbardy. We have Aquelian, but that is in reserve."
>>146523“Don’t use it unless there is no other option. I’m going to see if I can get any more information from her.”
>>146527He nods. Well Spring has taken a seat on the couch, and her head is falling down.
>>146529I think it was ~8 hours before. Either way, it was recent"Then understand that keeping ponies like those from being armed with guns is what we are here to prevent." She answers
Another luck roll[1d20 = 20]
>>146532The group turns the corner, and may look down the hallway>>146533She is starting to fall asleep, it seems
>>146526He looks to his date for approval.
"How about it, my sweet dove? Does some Sicameon Red sound good?"
>>146530"Well they're causing enough mischief with pipes as is...."As they make the turn she starts to sweat. Surely there's a way to delay at least one more minute?
"Hey! Do you know where the bathroom is around here? I looked for one down this hallway a few minutes ago and it wasn't here. It's rather urgent...."
>>146534“Well, I guess I won’t be getting many answers.”
Spark checks out a window to be sure she isn’t already tracked here.
>>146537She moves her head up
"Huh?"
Outside a lone car drives. It doesn't seem to be slowing down.
>>146536Okay, one more - perhaps final - luck roll
>>146535She pauses, and says
"Sure"
>>146539[i][Mediocre/i]
Sunnyside Meadows comes forth and says
"Sure. Down this hallway, to the by the end. It's one room and one gender."
>>146538He smiles, and turns to the waiter.
"Then we will have bottle of that."
>>146538“It’s ok. If you are tired, you should get your sleep.”
>>146542"Is there... a blanket?" She asks. She is at least shivering less than before.
>>146541He nods, and walks off unless Silver has something more to say to him
"It will be so."
>>146543Spark levitates some blankets over if they are present in the room.
>>146543He does not. Instead he takes a sip of water, looks at his menu, and talks with Jubilosa.
"I am trying out different pet names to call you. Any input?"
>>146546He walks into the hallway, and points near the end.
And there is Red Scabbard, standing in the hallway
>>146545“Well... Khoi calls me ‘Juby’.” She smiles
“But I sort of want to hear what you come up with.”
>>146544She takes the blanket, and takes off her long cloak. Spark can see that her whole coat sort of glistens, even in the dim light of the street lamp that enters through the window. Her mane is kept in place by a set of ties into two ponytails. She tries to cover herself on the bed, shivering.
>>146547"Jubee is great nickname, I have been using that, myself. I was talking about pet names. You know, like honey, sweetie...I was thinking 'dove'. It is great way to describe your beauty, I think."
>>146549“D’aww!”
She bats her eyes, places her claws wide apart on the table, and moves close in, as if eager to here what he will say next.
>>146550He doesn't say much else. Instead, he takes the opportunity and Jubilosa's moment of weakness to lean in and steal a kiss.
>>146551This requires leaning in all the way, over a lit candle, past a glass container of water, past empty wine glasses.... you know what? Roll die.
>>146548Spark feels bad for her.
“Rest easy now. We will handle it from here.”
>>146553“Thank you.” She says, trying to pull the cover closer to her. She lays down, incidentally taking the place where Spark slept.
>>146554Spark probably wasn’t going to sleep anyhow, with a possible changeling attack. He makes his way back to Madake.
