Welcome back to the newest thread of Occupied Equestria
In Northern Equestria on the Changeling side, Spark has given refuge to a mare claiming to be stalked by a Changeling drone.
In the southeast, in Baltimare, Amber tries to slip past police in her infiltration of the Police Headquarters. Iron prepares for his next fight against griffin gangsters. Silver enjoys downtime, and Midnight checks out a local church.
>>148215"Now, get some sleep. We have big day tomorrow."
>>148216He tilts his head
“Sleep? When do I have to be up?”
>>148217"I do not know exactly. Perhaps around 7 or 8?"
>>148218“In the morning?” He asks with a hint of surprise
>>148220"Oh... Is it just going to be like that tomorrow, or every day?"
>>148221"Tomorrow. Is something wrong?"
>>148222"That's... a bit early..."
>>148224scrunchWe could probably have Iron wake up, now or soon
>>148225I think I'll wait until Silver finally declares he's asleep for good just in case.
>>148223Now it's Silver's turn to tilt his head.
>>148227"Uh... Okay. I'll try to be up by eight" He says
>>148228He smiles.
"It is okay if you are not, it is just good idea to get early start. Goodnight Mala!"
>>148229"Um, goodnight" He says to Silver
>>148241The truck travels at a leisurely pace across the roads past townhouses abs single family homes, and past shops and a rail yard. The roadway seems to have been salted, and while segments of the roadway sometimes have a covering of snow from the previous night, everywhere treaded by tires is clear and asphalt black. The Doctor recognizes the roadway and leads the truck along the correct roadways. The truck passes through no checkpoint, and Changelings are seen (in uniform) only once: a pair of undisguised, uniformed soldiers standing at an intersection outside of a drug store. They pay no attention to the vehicle, and let them pass.
The truck comes to the location, a two story stone facade building with apartments accessed by an open air hall and staircase between two segments. One of those is, presumably, Wellspring’s apartment.
>>148244Spark hops out and looks in the truck bed.
"Well, that turned out better than I thought."
>>148245Makade:
“It’s not over yet.”
Wellspring pokes her head up, looking at Spark, and then at the partner complex. She raises her hoof and points to an apartment in the rear of the building on the left side from behind, and the right from the front, on the second floor. Behind the building is an area of grass and presumed porches enclosed by a fence about 25 feet from the building. There is a dumpster on the side.
>>148246"I don't suppose we can just walk in?"
>>148230Silver retreets to his bedroom, where Jubilosa presumably already is.
>>148250Makade
"I don't think we're getting in any other way"
Ply Press drives the truck around the building, and parks by another building a block or so over. After looking around, Makade, and then Wellspring both get out.
>>148253Silver leaves Mala, and goes into the bedroom. Jubilosa isn't there immediately, but she shortly enters the bedroom from the master bathroom, leaving the light on and collapsing on the bed.
>>148260Walk a block down the road, turn towards the building, and then up the open flight of stairs onto a concrete walkway, and the door is on the right.
The door is closed and unlocked, though perhaps the lock is broken.
>>148259Silver gets a chuckle out of that, uses his magic to turn the bathroom light out, and lays down next to his griffon.
"Tired? Too tired for my gift to you?"
>>148262He may need to walk closer to the bathroom to turn the light out.
She holds her head up as she lays down.
"Huh?"
>>148263Silver goes to get the box with the lacey silk lingerie he bought for her.
>>148264This briefly puts a smile on her face
>>148266"It's lovely Silver." She answers
>>148267He cuddles up to his griffon.
"Just want to sleep, I guess?"
>>148268From the first view into the apartment it looks messy. Sofa cushions lay on the floor, a rug is moved to the side. But looking in further, Spark can see it's far from simple messiness. The shade of the lamp next to the sofa is undone. Dirt is scattered on the floor next to a "Juliet" balcony and a nearby flower pot, with a lone plant. In the attached kitchen, cabinet doors are open, and pots and pans lie on the ground. Wellspring squeezes her way in, past Spark and Makade, and roams around in the room, looking uncomfortable, and then into another attached room.
>>148269"Do you really want me?" She asks
>>148270Silver looks at his griffin girlfriend, and gives her a very determined nod.
>>148270Spark follows.
"Are you sure your things are still here?"
>>148271"Are you sure?" She asks
>>148272Spark follows into what seems to be a bedroom. Clothing lays on the floor, and a mattress has been knocked off the bedframe.
"I'm... not sure" she says, looking through a dresser at the open drawers
>>148273He nods again.
"I want you more than anyone, Jubee. My beautiful dove. My love."
>>148273"What are we looking for?"
>>148274"Okay..." She moves herself closer to him on the bed
>>148275"It's uh... I should probably get some of my clothing together. We're leaving town, right?"
>>148276"We can, but I am sure you wanted to gather more than clothes which we can pick up just about anywhere else."
>>148276He cuddles his griffon.
"I am sorry if earlier made you uncomfortable. I wanted us to have unique experience together. I expected you and Sweet Dreams to do...well, something. I thought it was bit, well, progressive."
>>148277"Well... Let me look around."
She continues peering around
[1d20 = 4]Makade moves closer to Spark, and says to him
"Someone should keep watch outside. I only see one way out."
>>148278"What... what do you mean?"
>>148279Spark nods.
"I think it would be best if you watch. I still need to help Wellspring look around."
>>148279"You know, progressive, modern."
>>148280Makade gives a sharp nod, and moves away
Wellspring looks under clothing
"No... I think I got this..." She says
>>148281"What was progressive?" She asks
Also
Griffin is cuddled
>>148282"You know, what we did at spa."
>>148283"What you did at the spa?"
>>148284"No... It might be gone."
