Dark Star takes it off and throws it to him
"you can keep it, i'm get the sense it makes me look like a flasher at college."

It’s difficult to define “out of danger” with the police so near and with the vehicle having been seen - with Dark Star and Silver having been seen.

Silver lets out a sigh when they stop, though the emotion behind it is unknown.
"I managed to get one at gunpoint before fighting started and intimidate them into bringing me to Bargain Strength. But they thought they saw opportunity to try to wrestle gun away from me, and then...rest is history..."

"History? I suspect we'll be dealing with it in our futures. Looks like you never got to speak to Bargain Strength. Do you feel you accomplished what you set out to accomplish?"

A number of notes. Best guess is that a majority of it pertains to who owes who money. But the remainder is hard to determine from a casual glance

Amber sees that the three griffins are left alone in the room, and for the moment, they are silent. It's rather nice room, with hardwood paneling, a fireplace that is currently the main source of warmth for the room, and a wall that has a painted portrait of a griffin in fine dress holding a violin, and a mounted, taxidermy goat head on another wall. A shelf of books is at least half empty.

She leans over, and takes a closer look at the map, remaining in silence for several seconds.
"I don't really know" She says

The goat head strikes her as odd in some way.
"Do you mind if I play something while we wait?"

“Of course not.” Holder answers.
“I have… I need to make a phone call.” He says, nods, and excused himself from the room.

Nodding, she gets out the viol, and holds the bow…with talons. Feels weird for some reason, but she makes do. She thinks about what to play….

Amber concentrates on the music, but it seems second nature to play. What sadness there is of a whole life being swept away by the capriciousness of politics.

"He was the one who provided the two pony colts to Comte" She says. "Anything else, we don't know."
>>159052
Oh so very many more than one life has been uprooted, overturned, or extinguished by the caprice of politics in the past two generations. No matter. There is something deeper and higher in music. A connection to something at once more advanced and more basic, more complex and more fundamental. In the moment the music is played, it is like the soul speaks into the bow, and expresses itself.

Music allows one to transcend the worst and the most petty concerns of life. Perhaps that's why all times and all creatures have their form of music, serving as a release for their peculiar problems.

"Maybe you should have" She says
"So... what's your story to explain this?"
>>159062
Helder comes back into the room, himself looking both anxious and relieved. He speaks over the music playing.
"Okay, I've confirmed that we will be meeting at Montierter Helm's house, along with the others. There's a 13:30 train to Griffenheim." He pauses. "Heh. Honestly it was just good to hear someone answer the phone."

Amber stops the music. It was almost over anyway.
"Well, there's hope at least." What does the clock say on the wall?

"Waiting here would be the worst course of action," Amber concurs. She puts the viol away and grabs the luggage.

"No, I don't think he will. Worse things happen in Manehattan every day. But there is a reason Manehattan is in media blackout, and Halcyon Shores boasts to his superiors of Baltimare not being like Manehattan. I would start preparing now." She says
>>159068
Erich:
"Yes it would be." All three griffins are very quick in their action, grabbing things. Erich has the least stuff, and Amber and Helder both have much. They grab things, and head to a door towards one of the gardens.

Are the hallways more of the same? Were they on the first floor the whole time? When she does leave, she looks back toward the edifice.

Not until Amber has left the building does she have even the slightest idea of what she was in. Even now, looking back at it, she cannot see the whole of it, but only a small part. The building is utterly massive, and Amber finds her self at a portion that must be a set of rectangular wings of the larger building. It appears as three, sometimes four story buildings with rectangular windows, a white facade with lght green stripes that run between the windows up to the high, red tiled roof. Most of what is visible is crew quarters, some is a work shop, and some chimneyed section is the porcelain factory. In front of her is an open area of grass, trimmed hedges, carefully pruned trees, and smaller two story houses with green tile roofs beyond a ring of hedges that extends far beyond the wing of the building.

Wherever she ends up, it won't be nearly as grand as this. It may well be her last look at such a building, a testament to the former glory of the Katerin dynasty. She follows the others, feeling conspicuous in the wide garden.

Moving further out into the lawn, looking back Amber can see that the south wing was a rectangular construction, and recessed a hundred meters further back is the center of the Palace. There are larger squares five or more floors in height, with pointed pyramid-like red tiled roofs that stand up above the rest - one especially tall one right in the center, and two to each side. The construction of the south wing is mirrored on the other side, with the whole front side more than a third of a mile in span, and not visible from her vantage. In front of the center is a large pond, or pool, placed in front, and the few clouds in the sky, as well as the top of the roof of the north wing can be seen in its reflection.
This is not the castle from which the mad princess spent her final years. That distinction belongs to a special construction right out of a fairy tale, located on a hill that sits above the swamps some miles away. This is not the location where the final sane heirs of the Grimclaw - The Katerin - Dynasty were lynched by a mob of peasants. That belongs to an undistinguished town square a few miles into town. But this last relic of the Katerin dynasty, built 250 years ago as the summer home of the Grimclaws, then given the title of "Von Katerin" by the Emperor, lies as a perfectly embalmed corpse of yesteryear, even as the whole principality rots away around it, and even as the minds of the dynasty's last still living ignoble heirs decay and deteriorate.

"Well.... that's the question. Exactly how caught are you, and how are you going to spin this?"

The timeline is as follows: Dark Star first encounters the diamond dog as an outgoing and friendly hostess for the restaurant. She greats the male diamond dog after he enters, and has an extended conversation with him. There is a sound of gunfire from within the building. The male diamond dog, and then the female go upstairs towards the sound of gunfire, taking an extended amount of time as the male diamond dog was wounded. As a second gunshot rings out, the female gives the male a pistol, and he walks towards the shooting. Dark Star pretends to be an ally, and walks right past her. Then Dark Star shoots the male right in the back. Silver finishes him off with a shotgun burst. The female doesn't see much, but she does see that the male falls. Dark Star yells "it's that one with the shotgun who did it," and the female runs to the male, collapsing and crying at his side. She remains there a while until she stands up, in a fit of rage, and runs towards Silver (a shotgun wielder) with a flip out knife. Dark Star provokes a shot from the zebra, which shoots right through the wall, and hits the leg of the female, causing her to stumble and fall, and stab the ground. Then Dark Star levels his rifle, aims at her head, shoots, and her brains are scattered across the floor as she lies on her belly.

Dark Star is silent as he recalls the events, the emotions building up in him. he continues staring at the floorboard.
"I....."
He cuts himself off and continues staring as he recalls the moment she Greeted him in a friendly manner and then at the moment dark star took her life. a tear rolls down his cheek.

It's a fairly limited amount of interaction. Her only words to him were the question ""would you like to go to the bar, or be seated?" and "Okay, have fun," until later saying "You miserable bastard!" to Silver
Dark Star told her "I'm here to meet a friend," he wished her to "have a nice night," and then later "let's go get this bastard" and "That Bastard with the Shotgun! He Got Him!"
And that is all, really. He did not see her face as she died. She faced the ground.
Blue Skies looks at him. It's clear that she does not understand what is going on with Dark Star.

"I Don't.... She probably had a family. She.......I..I wish she wouldn't had drawn the knife.. Why Didn't she just stay at her friends side. I Don't know why i feel this way about her in particular. Maybe because she was a woman? Maybe because i lied to her and then took her life. does this make me a murder? Did i have to pull that trigger? Would she have Murdered Silver if i didn't? Did i Do the right thing?"
