>>158512i blame the first roll failing.
>>158508"If i was a mafia leader i would have the roof guarded."
>>158513"So who gets the front door?" She asks
>>158514"Well, i might be the least suspicious."
>>158514>>158515"It does not have to be only one pony per entrance, keep in mind. You both could go in through front, like couple on date."
>>158516"Well, maybe not suspicious. but a beautiful face draws a lot of attention."
>>158517"Hmmmmm not a bad idea."
>>158520"They won't think I'm there to do them harm if they are trying to fuck me, or assume I'm there for somepony else to try."
>>158521Dark Star trys not to sound jealous
"That makes sense."
>>158522"But... We can walk in together. Unless I should go in through the roof. What precisely do you want to do when you're in there, anyways?"
>>158522>>158523"I do not know about you two, but I plan on going in through back and tearing them apart."
>>158523His voice returns to normal
"we can go in the front, i think thats probably the best idea."
>>158524"Sounds messy."
>>158526"That sounds good. We can go together like a couple, or separately. Going in separately may make it easier for me to hide while you confront, or I distract while you take your position."
>>158525>>158526"Unless you have better idea."
>>158528"What is your goal, exactly? Making them stop? Do you know if this is all from the initiative of this one, slighted gangster, or are they just the pawns of someone else?"
>>158527"How about i smoke a cig outside while you slip in first?"
>>158529"Making them stop, most of all."
>>158532"How are you going to do that?" She asks
>>158532"That sounds rather complicated."
>>158533>>158534"I could kill them, that is simplest solution. I could try to detain them and have them arrested. I
could try to intimidate or persuade Bargain Strength into stopping, but that would be difficult and may not work."
>>158531"Order me a hayburger when you get in."
>>158535"a very simple solution. but the only problem i see,is comte will just send another capo to do the dirty work."
>>158535"All I can say is that my superiors will be very upset if these witnesses are not available. And I suspect a number of very powerful, and maybe a few not so powerful, ponies will be very upset if they
are available."
>>158536Her mouth drops open
>>158537Silver nods firmly.
"Alright, whenever you two are ready."
>>158538Blue Skies opens the door, and stands up, carefully looking over towards the location.
>>158539She gives a small scrunch.
>>158538>>158540Dark star walks around to the trunk.
>>158541He smiles at her
>>158540>>158542Silver also gets out, heading to the trunk to grab the pump shotgun and whatever potential ammo was with it.
>>158543>>158542Be warry. The shotgun is far from easy to conceal.
>>158542She smiles back
>>158543>>158544what else is in the trunk?
>>158545Just the rifle, which is even bigger
>>158544Perfect for a less-than-stealthy job. He pulls it out, checks it, and loads it if it's empty.
>>158546Could it fit under my trench coat?
>>158547Six shells, pump action.
>>158548Sort of, just barely, with the edge of the barrel sticking out. But you can't mount the bayonet and hide it.
It's a bolt action, and thus not necessarily the equal of a pistol in close quarters.
>>158549Perfect. he pusts the bayonete in a pocket and the rifle under the coat.
>>158547He Turns to silver
"So when we get inside whats the siginal?"
Well, I have to sleep. Hopefully we can all pick up again tomorrow
>>158549>>158550"When you hear sound of gunfire," he slings the shotgun over his shoulder, "you will know shit has hit fan."
>>158485Who were these griffons again? They seem vaguely familiar, yet Amber can't place their names.
"If you say so. Will you go by new names, or don't you think a change of identity is needed?"
Am back
>>158573>>158552Blue Skies nods to the other two
>>158619Amber knows who these two are. The white griffin is Helder Von Neuestadt. He claims to be a family friend of the Katerin dynasty, somehow. His father was director of art for the previous king, or something, and so is he. Nominally, anyways. The red griffin is a bit more familiar: Erich Sóbányász. He's not from around here, and plays the violin in the town orchestra, but more importantly, in the personal sessions given to the princess
Helder:
"I think my name will be helpful, if anything."
Erich:
"If they are looking for me, yes. If the rumors about the Imperials being involved are true."
>>158620>>158550"You two get into position. I will give you minute or two before I start my move. Maybe I will be able to avoid violence, maybe not, but be ready."
Silver attempts to move over to the alley, hopefully without anyone from the restaurant noticing his shotgun.
>>158623Blue Skies walks to the other side, and takes a round about way of going to the restaurant before walking inside
What is Silver wearing?
It's difficult to move into position, because the alley is genuinely behind the restaurant, rather than to the side. The restaurant occupies a corner position on the lot, with the patio (which is to the left of the building) along the side of the road. The alley is ten or so feet wide, and is between the building and a department store.
>>158624What is he wearing? Either the tattered remains of his uniform and his armor, or nothing but his armor.
