“My… Father claimed to see it last night. He and a neighbor. There’s… there’s legends he knows from older sources. He decided to not open his restaurant for the day.”

"Hmm...well, it happened about three nights ago, but it may have something to do with what Iron, myself, and rest of our group did on our last mission."

After getting that glass of water she feels a bit more stable. She is still a bit groggy, though. She struggle herself up on her rump.
"Well, after Canterlot fell and Sunrise with it, I..." She opens her mouth to say something but choses to stop. "I decided to move here for... reasons."
She goes quiet for a moement before she says, "Yesterday I saw your church so I thought I'd visit."

"Iron may have told you about it already, but we were contracted by government to clear out griffon traffickers inhabiting old asylum at 33 Hoebuck. It turns out that they were in league with Maarist cultists and were sacrificing those that traffickers were bringing in. Moon changed when we confronted leader of cultists and he drew on Maar's power, and returned to normal after we slew him."

“Do you need anything in particular? A place to stay, perhaps?”
The filly returns with the bread, and gives it to Heather, who offers it to Virgin Flame.

“Wha…” her mouth opens, and her ears go down.
“Well, I don’t know. That was a week ago. Surely it couldn’t… be that? I don’t know… my father says he has seen signs. He knows things about spirits that lurk in the ether, and that wait to come here and to take our life force from us. He says they have come before, and that if someone just opens the door, they will come again. He claims that Zebras know some things, and the ponies know some things, but that neither knows enough to know the danger. He says that only those with a hoof in each culture can read the signs. He says a lot of things. I don’t know.
Did you hear about that order? They are rationing fuel again. I think it will be a good opportunity for selling under the table, like it was during the blockade.”

"Hmm. Well, whatever they are, I hope no one will be stupid enough to open that door.
"I did indeed hear that order. One of those we rescued from Hoebuck thinks it is going to be used to concentrate rural populations into cities, make them easier to control."

Virgin tears into the bread. She realizes that was really hungry as she starts to eat it. Soon it's gone.
The bread really help fill out her stomach with something other than liquor. The blurriness and double images around her suddenly converge into a crystal clear vision. Even if she still has some headache.
She turns over to the pair and draws a circle in the air with her hoof while bowing towards them.
"Thank you. I really needed that," she says and looks up. "I feel much better now."

“I don’t…”
Her almost cowering demeanor returns for a moment, as she closes her black muzzle and swallows
“I don’t think think that’s right. It must be monsoons. I would say it’s for freezing weather, but it’s the wrong place for that. They must have lost fuel production in another district or something, so they are trying to make up for it.”

The filly at least, does not understand the gesture. Heather asks:
“Do you need help finding a place to stay?”

"Uhh," she begins and scratches her neck. "The plan was really that I was suppose to help you guys. But you're correct in you assumption, I am homeless. I slept under the bridge(s?) along the Delemare River this night."

"It may be, it may not be, I do not know. I do know that weather outside is definitely not mild."
Silver returns to the previous topic.
"Did your father ever share with you what it is that zebras know?"

"Aww, poor dear. You can stay here tonight, if you need to. We keep this room around for those in need, and you need it. Just tell us if you need anything else"
Flowercup:
"Like a shower, maybe."
After a pause, Heather raises an eyebrow
"What kind of help?"
>>150751
"Well, I think he meant legends and spiritual beliefs. And those who tried to bring about Nightmare Moon... They did not stay in Equestria. They came to us. Well, they came to Zebrica, I mean. But he meant about the powers of spirits, and how zebras can summon them."

Virgin is about to decline the off but then remembers the cold night she just experinced and opts to nod instead to the sugguestion to stay the night.
She can help but to grin at Flowercup's sugguestion.
"From foals and fools you learn the truth," she says and gives Flowercup a smile. "Yes, maybe I-" She takes a sniff of herself and scrunches like those cute poner do<3 "I'll take you up on that offer."
She turns over to Heather.
"Any help you might need. I think I'm fairly knowledgeable when it comes to universalism but I guess my real strength is with Dawnbreaker. I... Could tell you about Princess Celestia. She visit Sunrise's orphanage when I was a filly, I even got a photo of it."
She gestures towards the pouch one her belt.

"No! Well... No. What I meant was that there are stories of individual zebras coming in contact with spirits, some good, some not so good, and making deals with them for powers, and sometimes doing evil things with those powers, and sometimes the spirits themselves doing much evil..."
>>150754

Heather:
"Oh, well that sounds lovely. Let me see" She looks down, evidently to look at the photograph. But then she pulls her head up, and tilts it

“Guh. Consider that a benefit. Any mare too good for free beer is not good enough for you.” He smiles, moves around to move a glass, and comes closer to Solar Night
“Try hard alcohol next time. If they won’t take that, you don’t want to touch them.”

"Well, good! I think they will like you, with as fluffy and nice as you are."
He leads the two outside the Watering Hole, looking for a taxi in this fine weather.

Mala smiles, and seems to try to fluff himself up. He gets up, and they go outside.
There is a crack of thunder, and it appears the clouds are denser now. Snow flies in the wind, making its way through the open door, and then around the two standing creatures on the sidewalk. There is ice forming on the sidewalk and roadways.
>>150792
It's a bit late, and dark, save for lights in shops and street lights. Dark Star faces a special danger in that those who could be watching outside of the headquarters could see him. He is, at least, wearing a trench coat, hat, and glasses.
A bat pony takes guard, and choses to stand inside.

An automobile - a cheaper one, boxy in appearance, black in color - makes a left turn on the intersection. What it did not take into account, is the ice on the road.
The vehicle turns, slips, and jumps the curb right onto Silver and Mala. There is a bark, and a crack of thunder.

It's his room. 6 AM? Too early. Earlier than he recalls. There are storm clouds over the bay, however, which makes he day darker than normal. Jubilosa is passed out on her side, her tongue hanging out.

Silver gets out of bed, opens the door, goes down the dark hallway to the closed door of Mala’s room. Silver can see the hyena laying on his side roll over, point his muzzle and ears at Silver, and quickly jump up to stand on his bed baring his teeth threateningly and growling at Silver, before quieting himself and returning his mouth to a neutral expression. All of this happens in about a second and a half from Silver’s opening the door.

Silver stays there for a minute in silence, blowing on and sipping his tea as he watches the storm. Even when he first breaks the silence, he keeps looking at the lightning hit the water.
"I had dream, and in dream it was storming like this, but...worse. Ocean rolled back, revealing treasures that had sunken to bottom. It was bitterly cold and snowing, like it would back in Motherland during winter. I could watch and see ice actually forming and expanding over roads in city. It was like something you would hear about in ancient tales of when Windigoes hunted ponies."

He puts it down, and then pats Dark Star, perhaps more than the latter would have preferred. He looks through Dark Star's bag, and finding the revolvers (but no bomb), he carries the bag as he walks with Dark Star inside the building.
"Alright, I'll take you in."
>>150832
She smiles, almost laughing
"It's just boiling water and a tea bag. You can add things though. Like sugar, or saccharine, or honey. Or even milk."

The guard takes him through half-lit halways to an area of offices Dark Star has been to before. The stallion is a steel grey, and judging from the eyes and fangs, seems to be another one of the bat winged ponies, though his accent is Equestrian-Celestial seaboard.
"Who are you going to see? Seabreeze?"
>>150835
She has a strained smile
"That's... that's alright." she lifts up the tea and takes a sip
