"Yeah, it is. I'll... I better go check and see if she came back yet." He turns to walk down the park pathway, down basically the way Spark came.

He goes down the path, then turns left, then crosses the street, then goes down another block towards more housing.

Spark sees that it's a corridor that goes between two apartment buildings, and cuts to a walkway that runs between apartment buildings on either side, and allows access to the small patios and backs of these buildings

Dark Star(Solar Night) Looks a little disappointed in himself for not realizing earlier.
He Smiles Back at her
"No worries, Maybe i could help you get in?"

"But.... I didn't really... do well enough in secondary school. With mom working and all, and the siege... And I don't know if I have enough money to pay for it, really. It's... kind of expensive."

"Thank you!"
It is fortunate for Dark Star that he was sitting only perhaps three feet from Nadir. Fortunate, because it gives Nadir very little space to gain momentum for what she does next. She spreads her forehooves, jumps up, and whomps Dark Star.

She still has her forelegs wrapped around Dark Star, and her wings are partially spread. She raises her head to look up at Dark Star, though
"How though? Do you have a relative who works there or something?"

Dark Star is very possible slowly having the life squeezed out of him, unable to move his forelegs. Her grip remains tight. Her chest, neck, and forelegs press into him, and he can feel short, course fur.
"I always wanted to go. June is a legacy student. His father went here. Mars is real smart. I didn't think I could go here." She pulls away just enough to look Dark Star in the eye
"Did you go here last semester or did you just start?"

A wing unfolds, and moves to wrap around Dark Star, although the wing keeps its distance, ultimately.
She asks a series of excited questions in quick succession, not necessarily waiting for Solar Night to answer before asking the next one:
"You are starting? What are you studying? Were you kept out of the first semester by the peace, and the siege, and all that? Did you say you could get my tuition paid for, or waived, or something?"

"Thank you" She presses her muzzle into his neck, and generally presses her upper body into him.
Dark Star can see, however, that June - who before was talking to the other stallions at the party, deliberately walks over to Dark Star, and sits in a chair perpendicular to him. He is smoking a cigarette inside, and looks intently to Solar Night:
"Where do you come from, again?" He asks Dark Star, paying no attention to Nadir

I'm unsure. He's from a farm of the "South of Baltimare." I would suspect he's also from further west, perhaps from the Hayseed area, though maybe he's closer than that. Of course the farm has been overtaken by Zebras.

Silver and Mala pull the boat up over the mid-sized rocks that separate the sand and silt exposed at low tide from the sparse grass that grows above. The water has moved in with the shift of the wind, and white capped waves that were once distant, now begin to crash against the rocks. The wind is strong, and require Silver to speak louder than normal if he wishes to be heard.

They pull it further up, and further in, until the boat is high enough to not be carried away by any ordinary storm or tide.

Silver follows him, perhaps less energetically with the box of guns. The unicorn has a few basic things to do before he heads out: put the guns in a safe place in his room, use the bathroom, brush his teeth, get some quick breakfast. As he's getting breakfast (likely either any cereal or oatmeal they have on hoof) he checks to see if anyone is still in the viscinity of the living room.

Khoi Lua, sounding frustrated:
"Superstitious zebras closed down the restaurant for the day."
Jubilosa, sympathetic:
"What is it? Some kind of holiday?"
Khoi:
"No. They didn't like the shade of the moon last night, or something. Closed down the restaurant on a perfectly good work day."
Jubilosa:
"Well enjoy a day off. There weren't going to be many customers today anyways, with the weather as it is. It looks like more rain."
Khoi:
"Less work means less income."
Jubilosa:
"They'll probably still pay you for the missing day. And what do you need money for? You have-"
Jubilosa seems to cut herself off, and mumbles something. Notably, she looks over at Silver and recognizes his presence in the room. Paper Clipping fills the silence:
"The zebra folk are right to be worried. The Fascists are planning a crackdown."
Khoi:
Flat "What."
Paper Clipping:
"It's been on the airwaves all morning. They are restricting travel between cities. Removing the civilian population from rural areas. They have even begun to start a 'volunteer' auxiliary force of locals. They are sectioning off large areas of the countryside and are going to clear them of anyone who resists. This is just the beginning."
Khoi:
"What are you talking about?"
Paper Clipping:
"On the Radio. This morning. Evacuating whole areas."
Jubilosa:
"I'm sure it's just heavy rains, or something."
Paper Clipping:
"No no. This is exactly how they do it. Pretend there is an emergency. You don't know they are coming down on you until they have their hoof on your neck."
Khoi:
"What does that have to do with my job as a cook?"
Paper Clipping:
"It has everything to do with it. Workers everywhere, especially non-ponies, are in danger."
Jubilosa:
"That... does sound kind of like what happened in Sicameon..."
Paper Clipping:
"You see! I hope ponies, err, creatures see through this-"
They continue like this

The clouds, though still at least a hundred miles away, look much closer than before. The tendrils that span from it are much thicker, and begin to darken the skies.

"Real or not, watch out. This is how it begins. I'm telling you."
