What is said next can hardly be heard under the poorly kept, dark mane that hides her eyes and face as it droops down towards the ground. Indeed, she has to get asked to repeat it. But what she whispers is the following:
”She said that if you really did pay for the tuition, it was probably so you could prostitute me, or, or, or let you’d friend use me. She says that I should be grateful for her factory wages to help support me.”

Dark Star opens the wooden door and walks down the hallway, looking into the door on the left.

The ponies plus Mala enter into the location
White Orchid looks around
"Hey. This is the place... I think" He looks unsure of himself, but mostly happy.
Going inside, the booths and tables tend to be white, with red synthetic fiber seats. You must approach the counter to order. Food items are listed on a black chalk board behind the counter, and include things like hayburgers and fries and such.

The stallion accepting the order is a little older than may be expected for the role, but he looks physically disabled in his left foreleg. He answers “sure,”
But White Orchid answers,
“Oh! A hayburger and fries. Can I get a milkshake? Please? Please, can I?” He looks up at Silver

The stallion is a darker orange, with a reddish brown shortcut mane and yellow eyes. Looking at him closely, he is probably around about 30, though at first glance he looks older. He attempts to place weight on his left foreleg, and tries to raise his right leg above his head. He winces, however, and lowers his right leg quickly, placing his weight on that leg again.
"Private Frizzle Loop. 23rd Infantry Division. You were my Drill Instructor for a time at Camp Boysenberry."

The doctor asks “what was that all about?”
Wellspring remains silent, lowering her head into her long coat so as to hide her eyes and face. Waabishki seems slightly annoyed, but strangely is handling it better.
Makade says sharply
“Our stop is coming up. Stay calm, stay quiet.”

There is more talking, and more movement amongst the drones, the guards, and the passangers. Spark and party are not affected, however. It’s perhaps 25 minutes later that the train arrives in Blackwood, slowly coming to a stop at that short, wooden platform.

The doctor takes a moment, but comes along. Makade is the first to move out, though he looks back to make sure he is followed, and directs the others to move quickly. Makade carries his own suspicious looking tube of the type used to hold rolled up maps and posters, while Wellspring drapes herself in her winter clothing. Waabishki follows.

Perhaps Spark choses to walk through the town of Blackwood, and by the doctor's office. Or perhaps he side steps it all together, walking directly north, and then to the east. Spark inches his way along the forest.
