>>151903"Yea the local one that happend fairly recently. he said he has ties to someponies that were involved and they have a cache of weapons."
>>151907"Yeah, you're pretty young. Maybe too young for this. Legally, you shouldn't have even had that drink I served you earlier. Not that Dark Denizen cares, but she gets upset when the police get upset."
>>151908She blinks, and seems interested
"Weapons?"
>>151909He shrugs
"Thats what he said.Guns i assume."
>>151911She smiles
"That's because it some of it literally is. Passion fruit and lemon juice" She answers
>>151910She tilts her head
"So... what are you doing to try to uncover this? Aside from, well, becoming... yellow."
>>151912"Im settling into their friend group. and enrolling tomorrow."
>>151913"You're
enrolling?" She says
>>151914"No, heh heh. That's what the rum does. Passion fruit is a tropical plant we have here in the south."
>>151915"Yea,sea breeze approved. honestly im not looking too forward to it. i thought when i was little it would be.....different."
>>151916"Heh, yeah, among other things. I hope you like the tropical juices, because strawberries and other cold weather crops are not easy to come by. Yeah, it goes pretty well with juice."
>>151917She blinks
"What did you think it was like?"
>>151918"Well i thought ponies went there to learn useful things to build their intellect. not to become indoctrinated into a Communist philosophy."
>>151918"Having grown up used to what we could grow locally, I don't mind these fancy fruits one bit. Between them, the music, and dancing, I ain't surprised ponies like coming here. It's a good place to relax, if you don't pay heed to the owner." She says this last part in a hushed tone.
"What's your favorite fruit and drink?" >>151919"Huh. I suppose educating earth ponies on things like, well... how to dig holes better makes sense, I guess. But yeah, it's how philosophies like Liberalism seep their way into a society. Like poisonous gas underneath a door."
>>151920As if in reply to the "pay heed to the owner" remark, the gap between Amber's statements is filled with the sound of a sledge hammer, and bricks falling
Replying,
"Simple vodka and orange juice."
>>151921"We know how to dig holes when we are born ma'am."
He laughs
>>151922She turns around
"Yeah, the hours are definitely something. But I'm a night owl anyways, and the total number of hours isn't really that many, since I very rarely have to work during daylight at all. It means I can do other things as well."
>>151923"Hahaha," She laughs at Dark Star's statement
"I should have figured."
She places a hoof in Dark Star's mane
>>151926She smiles back to Dark Star, rubbing his neck and the back of his head
"So how was it?" She asks
>>151925"Well, you can do that too, actually."
>>151927He closes his eyes and leans into her hoof
"How was what?"
>>151928She blinks, and then pulls her lips back, again showing all teeth
"What... did you do?"
>>151929She rubs a little more
"Your experience"
She answers
>>151930"Well it was very draining. Not a very Good day.Its better now though."
>>151931"Ohhh kay" She says
"Well, Dark Denizen is pretty tolerant of almost anything, so long as it doesn't cause her to lose money."
>>151932She takes the other hoof, and starts petting him
"You're from a farm, right? Did you have to pull up weeds?"
>>151933He shudders
"All the time. i tryed to pawn it off on my brother most of the time though."
>>151934"I mean... well, for example, you taking the drink. That wouldn't have been acceptable in many places, but Dark Denizen is okay with it, so long as the police don't harass her over it. And the same with many things."
>>151935She leans her head back
"Hahaha"
She recovers, and says
"Yes, like that" and runs her hoof through his mane again
"The weeds regrow every year, or even more often than that, and you must pull them out. And that is what the Junior-Crypteia must do to society. That is what the SSA must do. Every day, pull up weeds."
>>151936Amber seems taken aback by this.
"I thought it was a nice gesture? I know I shouldn't get into spirits until I'm older, but is one drink really that bad? It didn't taste strong at all either." >>151936He assumes the thinking pose
"A Very Good Metaphor."
>>151937She blinks
"Well... I meant that, kind of as an example. She's tolerant of a lot of things."
>>151938"Heheh, indeed" She continues petting him
>>151939"So what have you been doing since we met last?"
>>151940"More work. Meeting with informants, inspecting the garrisons... I came back here and was reading, then you showed up."
>>151941"Well... Some are like that, and most aren't."
>>151942"I suppose. Anyway, I'm glad to have had the chance to talk, and I'm looking forward to meeting again, Sanguine." She smiles at the flaxen mare.
>>151943She smiles, albeit a bit awkward
"Thank you, Amber" she says
>>151942"Seems stressful. how were the garrisons?"
>>151945"Well, I didn't succeed in finding anypony selling off arms. So that's a good day, maybe."
>>151944Amber proceeds to break a rule her parents laid down, "Don't wander alone at night," but does it really count as wandering if she's going straight home?
>>151946"Sounds like a good one. What was that you're reading?"
Dark Star rubs her back
>>151947It is indeed, late at night. Amber exits through the front entrance, where Dark Denizen and the diamond dog are in the process of adding a wooden door frame.
>>151948She extends her wings, at least in part, as she lets Dark Star rub her back
"Oh, a book. Withers' Height." It's a piece of Equestrian romantic literature. I couldn't read in this language just a little over a year ago, you know? So I'm still practicing."
>>151949What ever is the point of adding another door like this? she asks herself, as she proceeds along into the cold, dark night.
>>151949He Continues massaging her back
"Oh Really? That's incredible. Why don't you read some of it to me?"
>>151950Roll d20>>151951She stretches out her back
"Well.... I don't know if it'll make any sense, but.."
She starts reading a few lines of some mare describing her emotions about some stallion
>>151952"Not really something that i would read."
>>151954She looks up to Dark Star, and simultaneously smiles and twists her lips
"Heh. Is there anything you
would read?"
