Dark Star starts has embarked in a new venture - infiltrating cells of leftwing radicals at a local university.
>>149919Silver nods.
"We will talk later then. Ready to go, Mala?"
>>149920“Yes.” Mala looks up towards Silver, standing by his heel
>>149921And thus, the pair leave through the front door, walking towards the bar where he met Cauldron. At least, until they can flag down a taxi.
>>149925Walking outside, there is a strong, chill wind blowing north from the bay. In the short time Silver has been inside, the temperature has fallen even further to something more appropriate to Winter than Baltimare typically provides. As the pair walks west towards the city, no taxi is forthcoming - not that taxis are particularly numerous in Cherry Hill in the morning.
>>149926"Winter Cold. This is time when thick coats of fur are most useful, like what you and I have."
>>149927Mala nods, smiling. It's colder than Silver has ever felt in Baltimare before. And yet it's hardly cold at all, and Mala is no more bothered than Silver. He walks along at a fast pace, sometimes pulling in front of Silver, and sometimes waiting for the stallion.
>>149928"Are there any types of jobs in particular you would like, by way? We are going to be partners, after all."
>>149929Mala moves his eyes up towards Silver
"It's probably best to... keep it simple" he says, moving his eyes back to look where he is walking
>>149930"Simple. We can do simple. We may have to take dangerous jobs sometimes, in order to make more money. Is that okay with you?"
Do I have to tell you again that (You) are a cute pony?
Spark should be back tomorrow.
>>149939Hello!
wavesThe last reply to Dark Star was
>>149860>>149932gaspsN-no u!
>>149917Spark heads over to the doctor.
>>149941The doctor turns to look at Spark
"Oh, you're back?"
>>149942“Yep. How are things here?”
>>149943"Well, we got in contact with the doctors. They did a first surgery to remove growth over night, and he's recovering this morning."
>>149944“When will be good to head back?”
>>149945“For who to head back? You, me, and the other two?”
>>149946“Yes, but also when Miskobag will be. I realize he will be here a while, but we will need to get him out of here.”
>>149947Looking up and away, almost joyfully.
“Oh, well after a surgery like that - it’s quite invasive - they usually give the patient time to recover. Could be a couple days.”
He pauses, and looks down at Spark with wide open eyes, lips pulled slightly back to show teeth, and ears straight up and forward.
“Do we… do we need to leave sooner than that?”
>>149948“He should be fine to stay, but it would be best for us to leave. Wellspring is resistance.”
>>149950“……”
He pauses a little longer
“Is that what she said?”
>>149951“Yep. Which explains why there are changelings scouting for here.”
>>149952His ears fall down
“WELL GET HER AWAY FROM HERE BEFORE THEY COME BACK!”
>>149953“We need to move out in unison. They would be less suspicious if we move and they don’t find her at all.”
>>149954“Oh… okay… what, what, what are you going to do about the older wolf? And the two big ones that are younger? And where is she going? Where am I going? [unintelligible]…”
>>149955“We will head back to the forest, then I will set up a meeting with the resistance to pick her up.”
>>149956“Oh-okay…” he quiets down somewhat
>>149957“Besides, hanging out in a city full of changelings isn’t exactly the greatest way to spend our time.”
>>149958“….. When do we leave?” He asks
>>149949"Yeah..." She turns her head down, but her eyes still up and making contact with Solar Night's, her lips pulled back and showing her teeth and fangs, and her wings spread in part.
>>149991"Everything doesn't seem ok,miss nadir"
>>149992“It’s just…” she looks away
“I feel a little… less than them, sometimes…” she looks down and away from from Solar Night’s face, though possibly into his fur.
>>149993"aww Nadir, you are just as Good as they are. Everypony is equal."
>>149994She looks up, and gives a weaker smile.
“Are you sure? Because I often feel less so…”
>>149995He pats her back
"Of Course,Miss nadir. you are a Great pony."
He gives her a hug
>>149996Nadir leans in, letting Dark Star hug her. With her velvety, webbed wings open, it’s a little difficult to wrap himself around her, and he’s likely to get a face full of batwing regardless. She makes a strange high pitched squeaking sound, which at least sounds content.
She closes her eyes, smiles, and places her left hoof on Dark Star’s shoulder.
>>149997>>149996“Thank you… and, and… so are you.” She says
>>149997>>149998"I Appreciate you saying so,Miss Nadir."
>>149999Blue Skies is still best pony“Do you, um… do you want to tell me more about you?”
She pulls her lips back in an awkward smile, again showing her small fangs
>>150000Checked and correct"Well sure i can. what did you want to know in particular?"
>>150001She looks down and to the left again, and her ears momentarily pop down.
"Do you ever... not feel like a great pony?" She asks, and moves her eyes up almost as if peaking behind cover
>>150004Moving her muzzle up, she asks,
"But why though? You are nice, very nice, and you are able to attend the university, like the other ponies with money and talent. What do you lack?"
>>150005"Im not very athletic. and im not Good at a lot of things. for example that dart game earlier."
>>150006"Heh." This makes her smile
"And I'm not a very good flier..."
She again raises her wings somewhat.
