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.

"Then we shall drink!" Iron optimistically declared, leaving Cauldron to think a little bit more for a suitable answer as he eagerly trots towards Sands. "I require the stingy stuff."

“Retreat is best sorted out when the enemies’ strategy is known. I am hoping they are still looking for one mare and will not employ a surrounding tactic. Once the angle of approach is known, we can choose our method of retreat. If we defeat into their ranks, it won’t do us much good.”

That instant shut down did briefly shake him out of his high, only for him to scrunch his snout in indignation. "Oh come on," he lowly whined, stomping softly against the floor "do not tease me after putting the activity on the tree trunk."
His foreleg already started to slowly but surely try to reach for the pulled bottle like a cat approaching a somewhat unsuspecing mouse.

Black Cauldron:
“What.”

In a glow of magic, the bottle moves through the air, snd comes down next to Iron in a “clank.”

I go slep after post.
Iron triumphantly takes the bottle that was set down next to her after a quick little hug to the unicorn mare in appreciation. His legs soon set themselves into a brisk trot as he aimed to pour two more shots for both him and Cauldron to drink from just to fulfill the activity.

White Sands, with her big, observant eyes, slowly drags the whiskey bottle further and further away from Iron, until it is on the other side of her.

>>146726
He does a small bow, and leaves.

Taking a walk around Baltimare to ease her troubled mind, Midnight gets up, gets out of her room, down the stairs, and outside onto the street. It's windy, and kind of chilly and cloudy. Off far in the distance, a whistle sounds. Closer to her a few ponies walk past, mostly quickly, and a few carts and automobiles on the street.

>>146735
"This is nice." She says

"A little of the other continent's culture."

Off in the distance, it seems to be the sound of a factory starting a new shift. The direction it comes from is in front of her, a little off to the left. Along the street are a few apartment buildings with doors at street level, a deli, and a coffee shop. The traffic of pedestrians and vehicles is perhaps lower than it could be. Ponies mostly, in their hats and cats, with a couple griffins, zebras, and even a hippogriff passing by. Over top of the buildings, Midnight can see a few larger apartment buildings nearby, several high rises north and especially west, a church steeple, a bell tower on what must be a school, a narrow rectangular tower down south that sticks up into the sky, and a few smoke stacks east.

That annoying pony from the soup kitchen isn't there at least.

Down the road a few blocks, one block over, and up a set of stone steps off the main road. It's a stone building of rectangular shape. Honestly kind of hard to tell if it's Celestialist or Reformed just from the architecture. It looks like it was built some time back in the last century, and it lacks the grandeur of any cathedral.

Entering inside, Midnight sees no pony immediately, but there is a stained glass depiction of the two sisters, as seen on the flag of Equestria.

She has the appearance of being asleep. She is completely silent, but shivers strongly at moments. Her mane is tied into two locks, her tail is tied at the end, and her mauve coat shimmers in a strange way.

The mare is a bit older, and kind of a light greyish blue color in a black robe, with her brown mane tied up in a bun and her blue eyes squarely on Midnight

"Do you need any help, young mare?" She asks Midnight with a smile that's... well, she's trying to be friendly.

>>146748
Auburn mane, probably in her early twenties, but it's hard to tell.

Predictably, Iron kept his foreleg 'sneaking' around to the other side, somewhat unintentionally wrapping it around Sands' crest while his face was trying its hardest to remain inconspicuous all the way. "Pretty please?" he insisted with a tiny increase in his pitch.

Iron pouted slightly as his lower lip quivered lightly, almost begging the unicorn mare for the bottle. "Please?" he asked once again as his foreleg still weakly tried to reach for the bottle in question. "I promise it will go to a good cause."

She seems genuinely happy, and kind of surprised, to have a pony in the church at this time. And yet, there is a layer of anxiety, like Midnight might ask for something difficult or annoying.
