>>156175She is legitimately amazed.
"You've never been with a mare before, how are you that hungry for more?"
>>156176The Riverlands are elaborated upon in a question by another student. He claims that the Riverlands nations are not entirely an accurate comparison, as their histories have advanced an additional thousand or so years, and have been shaped by griffin adversaries. Lake City's democracy isn't a perfect parallel for ancient Earth Pony democracy, nor is Nimbusia's... whatever they do as strange and horrifying as ancient Pegasi, but it gives you some idea.
>>156177"No, it's not hunger, it's just that on my own I can go about three times in a day. And we don't have to do it two times a day, it would just be nice, I think. I mean, I would like it ideally to be two or three times a day. But so long as it is once a day at least I will be fine. That is all I really need.....
>>156179"Uh... don't worry about that. Just I would like it if it would be two or three times a day, but once is okay."
>>156175Silver puts a hoof on him to guage his reaction.
>>156178Solar Night asks a Question about The Despotic States of the Ancient Earth Ponies
>>156180"Mmm, alright, we can go once tomorrow after work, and then hopefully twice a day." It's hard to believe that she befriended anypony that horny.
>>156181He shakes less
"Silver?" he asks
>>156183Has Amber ever had a male friend? More to the point, has she ever had a male friend that she allowed to be so comfortable about sex as to actually express himself without fear of shame or rejection around her? No?
Anyways
"Okay." He says, smiling
>>156182The stallion clarifies
"By despotate, I mean under a single ruler with no constitution, nor council, no official checks on power, although often there is an allied military class. These occur usually one of two ways. One is when a democracy vests total power in one individual. Kind of like... actually I shouldn't say that. There could be informants in this room. Remember that, students, when you asks questions, by the way. But the other way is when a military coup happens, and the leader of the military becomes sole ruler. Of course Monarchies that don't have courts or parliaments are usually despotates, but we usually use the term 'monarchy' to distinguish those governments were the ruler came to power from heredity succession. But yes, several of the Earth Pony states had great despotic rulers. Both democratically elected, and military rulers. Take for instance North Blade, who took over control of the Earth Pony confederation after the king died in battle against the Yaks, and lead them to multiple victories. Or Clever Lion, who was elected in Dryfields, and lead the nation to war against the Cylodean Pegasi. Rather disastrously, might I add."
>>156184Silver picks him up, and gives the poor colt a hug.
"I am so glad you are safe."
>>156186"Uh... I don't think so" He says
"You really don't have to go to school at all?" He asks
>>156185The colt needs a hug. He whimpers
"Thank you" He manages to say
>>156184>Kind of like... actually I shouldn't say that. There could be informants in this room. Remember that, studentsIm Sure there are no spys in the room at allDark Star Nods his head as the Professor speaks
.
Dark Star Writes down North Blade and Clever Lion, to look more into later.
>>156187He keeps a hold of the colt for a little bit longer, letting him whimper and cry on his shoulder as he needs it. Which, Silver would guess, he needs a lot.
>>156187"I was schooled by my ma, there wasn't any schoolhouse where I'm from. Makes me feel a little awkward, honestly, considering you have a proper education. Now, well, I can't go to school, I have to support my folks." She bashfully grins as she says this.
>>156188After some time - most of that time spent covering an overview of something like a thousand years of history - the lecture ends. Homework is to read a hundred pages or so from a book Solar Night does not have.
>>156189He does, crying a bit more
Eventually, Silver hears police sirens
>>156190"Huh. I wish I could just stay home all day. Then again, I don't know I really want another waiter job. Must be nice though to not have homework."
>>156191Silver turns his head towards the sound, and then looks at White Orchid.
"Alright, we are going to go for car ride, okay?"
>>156191"I've been feeling an urge to go on adventures. I reckon I could do that a couple of years before settling down, what do you think?" She daydreams of exploring great caverns, fighting griffon pirates, and locating long-lost treasure.
>>156193"What... what does that mean?" He does not like this
>>156192He nods
"Okay"
>>156191Dark Star Panics on the Inside
and thinks to Himself
"No No No No, Buck what am i gonna do?"
>>156195Anyways, class is dismissed. Solar Night may attempt to talk to ponies, leave, or do whatever
>>156196He Takes a Few Breaths to calm himself
and then looks around for anypony that seems interesting.
>>156194Silver gets him off of the ground and started towards the car. He motions for Mala to get in and goes up to Frizzle.
"I cannot thank you enough friend. Are you going to be alright here, or do you need to come along?"
>>156198Attractive lavender unicorn with a long blue mane, who puts away her books
Larger brown stallion in a black jacket who starts saying something to a Pegasus mare next to him.
A lone, thin red earth pony stallion with glasses who writes something down and takes his time before he begins to leave.
A green Pegasus mare who stands in line to talk to the professor. Her mane is tied in a ponytail.
A lone Griffin, who sits in the back and is well on his way out already.
A yellow unicorn with glasses, who spends several seconds writing down something, and flipping through his book.
An older stallion. Well, like 20 something stallion, who attempts to talk to a mare behind him.
A light cream Pegasus mare who looks to be recovering from a hangover, taking time to get up.
Bonus: a bat zebra thing who thinks Solar Night is interested in listening to her complaining.
>>156194"Rather than staying home all day or working the same ol' job over and over, imagine instead traveling to new places and doing odd different missions. Wouldn't that be fun?" She has an excited grin on her face.
>>156200He looks at Silver
“I don’t know. I’m technically still at work, and maybe somepony needs to talk to the police… but I kind of feel like I’d regret not getting in that car.”
>>156202“Oh. I thought you meant more like… uh, more like what my mom thinks my sister does. If that were the case, I would ask why you tell me you love me. But yeah, I can imagine wanting to do anything other than being a waiter, or going to secondary school.”
>>156201>Bonus: a bat zebra thing who thinks Solar Night is interested in listening to her complainingKek he is though
He walks over to the Lavender unicorn
>>156203"Oh." She's not sure how to respond to that.
"I'll see if actual adventure is possible. It might not be, but if that ol' timer is right, then riches abound."
>>156204"We have to do all of that reading! I don't even have a book. How will I get a book! I'm already going to fail..." blah blah blah
Anyways, the lavender mare looks up towards Solar Night as she puts away her assigned history book.
What is Solar Night dressed in?
>>156203He puts a hoof on Frizzle's (good) shoulder.
"It is up to you. I promise you I would respect either decision. But we do need to leave very shortly."
>>156205"I'm kind of okay with being safe though." He turns his head towards her
"Riches?"
>>156207He blinks, and looks to Silver
"I think somepony needs to make sure you make it to the hospital for that gunshot wound."
He gets in the car.
>>156206He Says to Nadir (As He Has the Same Anxieties over not having the book)before he Walks over
"It'll Be fine Nadir. We'll Head to a Book Store after School."
he then walks over.
>Whats he wearing
What a Lood Question to AskThe Beige Trench Coat and Glasses
>>156208Silver nods and gets in as well, I'm assuming in the driver seat. His first order of business is driving away and getting the gang out of there away from the sound of police sirens.
>>156211Oh, and don't forget grabbing the auto pistol before they leave.
>>156211>>156212And Silver has both guns, Frizzle, White Orchid, and Mala
Does he know how to drive a stick shift?
>>156214Okay, the way this mare is going to respond to a random stallion walking up to her is going to be heavily dependent on how attractive he is. Dark Star has a James Dean kind of look that's easy to imagine, but "trench coat" can mean everything from Humphrey Bogart in Casa Blanca and Army Officer, to flasher and school shooter. And everything in between.
Solar Night is approaching the lavender mare, right?
Nadir is not concerned. She is just complaining and freaking out right now
>>156213"You mean like... food, or just things to buy?" he asks
>>156215That's Correct he's approaching the Mare.
>>156216She looks up at him, but does not speak to him first.
>>156215Hmm...possibly. Left hindleg for clutch pedal, right hindleg for brake and trottle pedals...right?
>>156217"How ya Doing? That was Quite the Lecture Huh?"
He Gives her the James Dean Gaze
>>156215"Anything."She flips over onto her back, legs in the air, and puts her head in his lap. He can feel the back of her head, cushioned by her mane, lie against his groin.
"I would get my ma and sister–and me–beautiful flowing dresses, lined with sequins and gemstones and everything city ponies love. I would fix up my ma's house, get her a new hearth, running water, and everything nice. I would buy us–or build–a great new house to live like nobles in, and servants to wait on our every need. We could have a big, fast automobile to drive everywhere we want to go. And…and, I'd set some of it aside so one day our foals could go to college. Wouldn't that be nice, Mustard?" She looks up dreamily at him, with a wide smile across her face.
>>156218Has Silver ever operated an automobile before?
>>156219Gotta have the glasses turned up for this
She looks up to him with steel grey eyes, and leans back
"It wasn't bad. I don't find the subject that interesting, but the professor holds your attention" she answers
>>156220She smiles, looking down at her. He rubs behind her ear with one hoof.
And moves another hoof to rub her belly.
"That sounds lovely, Amber"
>>156222You know what? Roll die. d20, wisdom modifier
>>156223"We've got to keep our ears perked for whatever opportunities life has for us. For now, I don't want to keep you from your homework. What else do you need to do?"Her belly is covered by her dress, but feels soft regardless. He can feel her hair move on his crotch as she turns her head to look at the book in front of him.
>>156223"Yea, He's Quite the Teacher. The Ancient Tribes are Fascinating. Especially The Earth Ponies, Although the Unicorn Monarchs sounded Interesting as well."
