She has an air of moral "knowing," but the smugness shared by herself and Lens concerned talking about the school
"I know. My own June was even called to the draft, though he got a deferment. We had to shelter in place during the shelling."

"Oh. I see... I think June knew some ponies killed in the September uprising." She blinks "What were they trying to shell in the countryside?"

Again, no need to feel bad about anything. I'm not the boss of you, lol.
How were you able to handle having lost your phone for so long though? When I lose my phone I go crazy looking for it.

The cream unicorn mare is silent at this, but Mars Loaf says:
"Oh yes, I know. We had to go hide in the basement during the shelling. We could feel the vibrations in the room as we were hundled together. Soldiers came in and they... they searched each one of us, asking if we had any weapons."
June, having migrated across the room and with an entire wine bottle in his magical glow, slowly walks up, placing the bottle down on the floor beside him, and removing a lit cigarette from his mouth. He speaks to Dark Star:
"What do you know about the misery? I was there on the barricades when they started blasting away. Going down the roads street by street, and house to house. I saw creatures killed."
At this, Mars loaf places hooves around him, holding him in a hug. Using his magic to hold both the cigarette and now pick up the wine bottle, he takes a swig directly out of the bottle.

"Me Personally? I've seen things you wouldn't believe. Foals being kicked to death. an old griffin woman cut in half with a Dull axe. Other Terrible Crimes i dare not even speak about."
Dark Star stares into a corner with a blank look on his face as he takes another sip

+1 point for the Blade Runner reference
A bluff check would be helpful
June was certainly not expecting this response, and is taken back for a moment. Star Cut and the stallion who let Dark Star in, formerly having their own conversation, seem to listen in.
“When did this happen?”

Dark Star is a ranger (although he plays more like a rogue), and so does not have Bluff as a class skill. He has, I think, a fairly high charisma bonus of either +2 or +3
Opposed

Dark Star’s lie isn’t the most persuasive, but June made a fatal slip when he tried to match Solar Night.
Lens:
“I have t heard that before”
Star Cut:
“Why would you? They try to suppress snd hide their crimes. You know these things happen.”
Mars Loaf, Lunar Nadir, and the unnamed mare are all deeply disturbed by Dark Star’s report

There is silence for a moment, but the appeal to partying breaks through to Star Cut, the other stallion, and the other mare. Star cut, then the short cut stallion, raise their beers with a “woo!” and walk away. Lens follows after a delay. June lingers, looking at Dark Star in silence.

He’s near empty. June continues staring at him for a moment, places a leg on Mars, and moves to walk away. He yells out
“Are you ready for a dart game?”

Just play a Rogue/Scout Swift Ambusher build, or an Urban Ranger/Scout Swift Hunter Build. There are plenty more Ranger variants and Ranger combinations that accomodate what you're trying to play.
The Urban Tracking feat is based on Gather Information, rather than Survival, so an Urban Ranger can be charisma-based, especially when combined with Dynamic Priest for spellcasting. The Rival Organization ACF is also better in urban settings if you want to maximize Favored Enemy. Mystic Ranger is also pretty good if you want to use spells more in combat and tracking, fitting well with the variant Spell list the Urban Ranger gives.
Dips into Marshal or Factotum may also be better accommodating to your build, although it really depends on your stat distribution.
You can always gain Bluff through dips or feats. If you're taking an Anarchic feat for Bluff and want to be charisma-based, consider Iajutsu Focus and Use Magic Device.
Also, did you find your phone yet?

“Yeah! Sure. Another beer.”
June and the other stallions move off, although only the yellow mare follows them, at least so far. Lens and the unnamed mare move together nearer a bar-top county by the kitchen. Mars Loaf moves over around Solar Night, and hugs Nadir. She closes her eyes, smiles, and raises a wing to sort of wing-hug Mars. Mars then moves off with the other three mares, leaving Dark Star and Nadir to themselves in this portion of the living room.

She is hugged, presumably by Solar Noght wrapping his hooves around her. She moves her wings back to her body as he does so. Her wings are a soft velvet, but bony at places, and her fur is short and course.

He watches them throw the darts to scope out the competition.

So far, the ponies competing are, well, the stallions. Star Cut isn’t especially good, but the short cut stallion is decent. June seems to be winning, being the best of the small lot. The yellow mare is the fourth contender, laughing as she tries with the stallions egging her on. But she isn’t particularly good.
The room used for the dart playing seems to be a bedroom, though it isn’t being used as one. There is a mattress on the floor, one dresser, and a couple chairs.

The ponies look back to Solar Night. It’s Star Cut (of all ponies) who says to him “come on, want to join?” June looks at Dark Star, and moves back.
June:
“Why don’t you give it a try?”

Dark Star’s dart goes wide, and hits the wall next to the dart board, leaving a little hole, and then falling down. June and the yellow mare laugh.
When he recovers, June smiles, and says
“Don’t feel too bad. Let me show you how it’s done.”
He picks up a dart in an aura of green magic, placed it before his right eye, aims, closing his left eye, and throws it

The short game is over. June wins, although the confidence he had before has been tempered by a mediocre performance in the last half of the game.

Unfortunately, June’s grabbing for shot glasses in the kitchen is noticed by Mars, and Mars asks why he’s grabbing them. June let’s skip that there is whiskey, and soon, a small herd of mares forms a feeding frenzy looking for shots, with the unnamed mare, the yellow mare, Mars, and even Lens, all expecting shots. The stallions and Nadir keep their distance a bit.

She is pat one the back, and sits next to Dark Star. She places the shot glass in a set of what look like fingers in the middle of her wings (it’s a bit odd). She takes it, and successfully drinks the whole shot in one swallow, though she scrunches afterward.

“If we’re being watched right now, we can’t go to the truck. We have to lose them first.”
He then whispers

"We definitely can't do that, because we don't know how many we are up against. But we have to continue as if nothing is wrong. I already said I was a moving helper so we can keep loading up and plan as we go."

Makade moves forward a little more quickly, catching up with Wellspring, and whispering into her ear. The trio reach the end of the street after perhaps a minute, with an apartment building to the right, a commercial building to the left, and something like a park on the opposite side of the road on the left.

While some shelves are empty, there is honey, bread, and canned goods like corn and green beans, besides salt, bandages, and kerosene. The stallion at the counter looks a bit skeptically at Wellspring in particular, but is silent until finally asking “Can I help you?”

A counter off to the left (relative to the entrance), which is rather large, and behind it is the alcohol, cigarettes, medicine, tools, and some of the other expensive items. There are a few shelves in the middle with canned goods mostly, but also bags of flour and (beat) sugar. On the right wall is a refrigerators area with milk, and the wall opposite the entryway has bread and pastries. It’s not just food. There are utilities like lightbulbs, lanterns, and rope, and assorted other items. Between the far wall and the counter is a small, narrow hallway leading to a rear entrance and a bathroom.

The pony behind the counter is skeptical of a group bathroom trip, but he doesn’t really take any actions to stop it. The hallway itself, although not closed off from the rest of the store, is st least somewhat separated from it.

Iron wakes up with daylight pouring onto the bed, thankfully not having transformed into an enormous insect. The area of the bed to his left is empty, and the covers are pulled off. Iron himself is only partly covered. To his right, a half foot away, is a mare rolled in bedsheets, still sleeping.
>>148886
lol
With a hefty, satisfied yawn, the native soon crawled out of the covers with an elated smile on his face: Nothing felt better than sleeping with his mares besides him, sharing the touch he craved deep down.
He soon shimmied himself closer to the seemingly sleeping mare and leaned his head to give him a little nuzzle to start the day off on a good note before getting out of bed.

The covers have completely separated from the bed at this point, and a long, flowing red tail sticks out one end of the roll of bedsheets. She looks almost like an eggroll, or a cocoon, and she must have wrapped it around her one or two times. At the front end, only a long white muzzle, and a horn protrudes out. She scrunches lightly, seemingly still asleep at the nuzzle.

Iron couldn't help but chuckle softly and give Sands a little stroke of her mane in response, hoping to soothe the overly mild inconvenience with a gentler gesture, before finally getting out of bed proper with a determined glint in his eye and an eager smile, ready to face breakfast. After such a good note, he couldn't help but feel the greatest he's ever been since he got out of his jungle.

Knowing his wicked sin had been pardoned with Sands' small smile, Iron daintily trotted out of the bedroom and onto the kitchen, wondering if Cauldron was still around or had gone to do her work.

Iron stood still, now a little lost and the slightest bit disappointed, before shrugging it off. He knew Cauldron's heart was intertwined with his now, and it was enough to soothe his small bout of sadness from not displaying his affection before the zebra mare left.
He soon walked over to the magic freezing place, carefully opening it to see if there was anything he could take while also feeling the slightest bit embarrassed at his actions: He may be being uncouth by doing this.

The native hummed softly, a bit unsure which one to pick while he shivered slightly from the cold inside, before shakily yet cautiously picking up the cassava noodles for him to eat for him. A thought soon crossed his mind however: What should he bring the still sleeping Sands?
She is not much of an eater... Iron mused, wondering what would be a good way to brighten the unicorn up. I think coffee or tea would work... but I have no idea how to make that or if she would even like it.
With that thought in mind, he soon took the plate to the table and tentatively tried out the food he took out while ensuring the freezing box was properly closed.

Iron exhaled softly before pushing through the meal to finish it, despite the underwhelming flavor of the cold food. It at least let him focus on his thinking. I have to give her something to give her a good mood for the rest of the day, the native pondered specially after...
He trailed off, gaze becoming a little unfocused as Sands' hissing and her wounds after Koptis did his number on her.

Every stab hurt his fragile little soul a little more at the reminder, egging him further to give Sands a good morning at the very least. Think, Iron, think! he pressured himself as he ensured his plate/bowl was fully clean of any remnants so as to not waste any food. ...maybe a cuddle? That does not sound more like a good night thing...
The native's brow furrowed further, tapping the table with his hoof in an attempt to squeeze out a viable method to brighten her day.

Iron huffed softly, soon picking up the plate and idly take it back to the kitchen, wondering it would even go as the vines of thought kept their swinging. Maybe a kiss? he wondered, unsure. ...maybe that could work, but I have to do it the right way... which I do not really know...
The native's snout scrunched lightly, starting to feel a little frustrated at the lack of a clear answer, but started to lean into the kiss approach as he figured she may enjoy it even if it's bad. Why is she so hard to read? he grumbled in his head, feeling himself quite distant from her regardless of the time spent together. She feels so far away sometimes...

Far away in heart, far away in spirit… Iron is now physically maybe 20 feet away, if even that, separated by a wall from line of sight.

Such prevailing thoughts only served to scrunch his snout further, deciding to simply place the place on one of the kitchen counters for the time being and walk back to the bedroom, steeling himself and soon reminding himself just how much she meant to him... only to find it mostly blank and not all that heart-warming. Why is it so hard to lift her spirits? he muttered in his head. Is there something wrong with me that cannot connect with her aside from her smoking hot, fluffy body?

Iron enters the bedroom to see white Sands sitting up on the bed, cocooned in the bedsheets, but with her head sticking out, and her tail wrapped around herself. She has an expression of pure dread on her face, and disheveled mane. Her eyes cone up to meet Iron, but then come back down as her head, angled down, stares at the point where the dresser meets the carpet on the floor in front of the bed.

Whatever upsetting, pessimistic thoughts Iron had on Sands soon vanished as he witnessed the fluffy pony in dire need of comfort, quickly trotting next to her, climbing up the bed and giving her a hasty yet concerned hug from behind with his head laying on her withers.

The bigger stallion soon started to idly stroke Sands' blanket wrapped body with his bulky forelegs, trying his damndest to cheer the unicorn mare up after finding her in such a drastic state. It was his sworn duty as Sands' stallion to ensure she was properly taken care of both physically and emotionally!

“I might.” She says vacantly.
“But it’s not about whether it’s bad news.” She says, and pauses for a while. When she starts again, she says
“Whatever that telegram says, I know what it won’t say:
‘I was worried about you. I’m glad you’re okay. You did your best, even if it wasn’t enough.’”
With the last word, she breaks out crying, lowering her head and attempting to bury it in the bedsheets.

Iron's gaze softened even further, continuing to hold the bawling mare and give her sheet-covered body a tender stroke of his forelegs, giving Sands all the time she needed to properly vent out her frustrations. Does her mother really not care about her? he thought to himself, tempted to ask about it but feeling he'd just open her wound further.
Nevertheless, the native could definitely understand lacking comfort from his progenitors: It was part of growing up to stop relying on your relatives to prop oneself up back in the tribe. If he tried to go back and make contact with them again, he'd most likely be faced with immense disappointment and disapproval, just like her with White's supposed work.
Iron frankly didn't really have anything to say after that. All he knew he could do for sure was to be there for Sands, supporting her with his warm, short fur and big, bleeding heart.

White Sands cries, and leans onto Iron, eventually burying her muzzle into his fur. After a little longer, she starts to remove the bedsheets to try to be closer to Iron.

Iron gladly helped Sands get closer to him, unwrapping the unicorn from her sheet fortress with tender accuracy before pulling her head into his rather lacking yet wholly willing chest fluff, allowing her to hear his beating heart slowly thumping against his chest.
All the while, he ensured the body stroking carried onwards to ensure Sands felt cared for, despite Iron's frustrations over failing to properly understand her fully.

Iron may not really understand her. He might never understand her. But anypony could understand she needs affection, and most especially, validation, from somepony right now. She’s still soft and fluffy. Like a pillow, really, and she hold onto him. She stops the actual crying after not much time. But she hasn’t recovered.

Iron took a deep inhale, ensuring Sands was snug between his large, muscular frame and his thick forelegs, wondering what could he even say: Should he bring up how she foolishly tried to finish his job, even though such a thing twisted the knife inside his heart? Should he call her sexy, even though such a thing is as superficial as saying he had a grey coat? Should he comment on how creative she is, even though it's used just to spice up their fledgling love life?
Everywhere he looked, Iron would find the doors to give Sands what she needed right now were locked shut in his mind. Everything would just heighten her insecure self from their shared experiences so far. None led to success, as far as he could see.
Iron's soul became just a little heavier from guilt, not finding any suitable response to provide Sands the comfort she so desperately desires.

She loosens up a little bit, calming down. Remaining in Iron's embrace, she eases her way down on the bed. Iron can feel that her wounds are quite a bit better than they were yesterday, though they are still noticeable.
For whatever else Iron may think of her, and for whatever problems he may have with her, one thing is certain. It is often asked of friends and companions "would they be there for you in a time of need?" For White Sands, Iron need never wonder. For when Iron's strength has failed him and he's at his worst of luck, she really would jump in to save him; to take a knife for him from a professional murderer twice her size. Not even Black Cauldron has done the same, and very few would do the same.

B-but, Iron stuttered back, feeling ashamed to admit it, I am supposed to jump in to save her! Not the other way around!
He couldn't help but grip Sands closer to him, reminding the native of just how near she was to meet her death just for him. While he could try to admire it, his pride made him feel too guilty to spill it out. What sort of stallion would let his mare die for him? That's not how it works!

If she reminds Iron of his great failure, of his insecurity, then perhaps he has something more in common than what he realizes. Both are bound by what cannot be spoken, and what cannot be admitted to. If she is silent, so is he.

That is not enough at all! Iron snapped back at his thoughts, his passionate self crashing through his poor self-esteem. What sort of stallion would I be if I just give her some weak feeling that I am in the same boat as her?! I can do better! I know I can!
However, passion by itself isn't going to do anything. He needed a way to properly tackle the problem and give Sands the appreciation that she was starving for. Problem is, where would he even start?
Such a conundrum caused Iron to keep his hold on Sands, afraid to let go in case she may disappear from his life in such a heart-breaking manner the moment he blinked.

Iron gulped softly at his invasive thoughts, starting to shiver just a bit because of them. The guilt was eating at him, yet all he really knew was to show love, but never tell it. What would words really do for him when actions spoke louder? Actions should convince Sands wholeheartedly that he cares for her, yet he can never find a way to strike that part of her. I-I do not know what to do, he hesitantly admitted to himself, clutching the unicorn ever tighter.

The only action he could do, really, would be an action equivalent to what she did for him. He must sacrifice for her, or risk a significant sacrifice. Only in that way, could the favor be repaid in kind.

If Iron can’t get himself stabbed for her, he may have to do something else instead. Something just as painful. He may have to talk to her.
