Tricky has a hoof over Sorrel's shoulder, and Sorrel seems to be crying. Both are laying on their bellies. Tricky seems to be telling Sorrel female nonsense about "being strong" or something. Looks like emotional support.

Okay, I'm curious now as to what was expected.
Tricky immediately stops talking, and turns her head to Dark Night, closing her mouth and watching him enter. Sorrel has a delayed reaction, as she lays her head down against Tricky's neck and shoulder, eyes closed. After the passage of a not insignificant number of seconds, she turns her head slightly and opens her left eye to look towards Dark Night.

One young stallion seems to be... explaining his work schedule to a friend? That's what it sounds like anyways. Some mare is talking about some other mare that apparently has feelings for Nickel Knob (seems to be a coworker) but he's engaged to some other mare and she's no good for him but they are going on a trip in the spring and... bleh. Some mare is complaining to her coltfriend(?) that she's hungry and he tells her that she should have said something ten minutes ago. And so forth.

“Yes. There was something about slippers for the dance…”
Shorts are played before the film. There is animation of walking milkshakes, singing to go to concessions. There is a very long clip of what seems to be a wart time update, showing ponies firing machine guns snd so forth. Mostly it looks like training footage, and it announces some land victories over Griffin forces. In the second half, of what is actually a distinct clip played immediately after, a victory over naval forces is announced. Silver can recognize a clip taken from a dive bomber of an attack on a ship in port that was played on the television, allegedly of an attack against Aquellian destroyers in the port at Pridea. The clip ends, or more likely, is immediately followed up with another clip, talking of the prosperity of the Silver Crescent Economic Union. A grocery store is shown, and it is announced that intercontinental trade will increase in the coming months with the clearing of shipping lanes.

Previews. To what most movie goers might be a hassle to get through before the actual motion picture, Silver is most impressed and awed. It really is like the television he bought, just bigger.

Soon, ponies will be able to buy wine made across the ocean, buy luxury automobiles, and be safe against foreign threats. I mean ponies could do all of that three years ago but to hear it promised now is kind of an improvement over the status quo. Unfortunately the Hippogriff Menace makes true peace and normalcy impossible for the near future, but things are improving with the griffins at least.
There's an advertisement for a movie. It appears that rich mare has been shot, and it's up to a friend of hers turned detective to solve the mystery.

Jubilosa would like that. Maybe Silver should make a wine rack and fill it with wines from Sicameon. Ooo, and if he gets some serious Bits he could get a real fancy car? Maybe one of those "Grand Tourers" would be fancy enough?

With money, a little luck, and a little time, all things are possible.
The movie starts...
Opening scene is in on Sunderby Island. As violence between Macawia and Carthago ceases, the old pirate Captain Celano of the Storm Wars fame is appointed as governor over Sunderby and the surrounding seas, but with a mandate to bring peace and rid the area of pirates. This is far from an easy transition, as neither the civilian population nor the pirates completely trust her. Some decide to start up business in regular trade, others continue in piracy.

Among the former pirates are two former Equestrian renegades: A red pegasus stallion named Quarter Mars, and his assistant, a blue unicorn named Diamond Blue. These two ponies were captured in youth and raised as pirates, and befriended Celano in her prime, and likewise served alongside her in her service to the Storm King. After a meeting with Celano, he agrees out of respect for his old friend and comrade. They start attempting to ship mangos out of the Kirin lands to Chiroptera.
However, not all of the former pirates agree. Lorenzo Lyle, a young renegade zebra stallion out of Kasa, continues to raid ships along with his assistant, a minotaur named Brinix. They raid a shipment of mangos through a different set of ships.
Meanwhile, Quarter Mars, sees and then converses with a mare that he takes a liking to, a soft pink unicorn mare from Kasa named Lys Doux. However, she is engaged to be married to a zebra stallion from Carthago, named Guarda Hábil. Though he is a member of the local aristocracy, it is shown that he provided the information on the shipment of mangos to Lyle and other pirates.

With a mandate to put an end to piracy, Celano sends out Quarter Mars and Blue Diamond on their ship, the Peregrine, to try to track down Lyle. They almost capture his ship, The White Swan, in an estuary, but the ship is alerted by a signal to move and escapes in time. It is shown that the signal came from a set of pirates who were informed by Habil of Quater's intent and whereabouts.
The Council of Nobles is furious about the continued activities of the pirates, especially after the latest failure. They believe that Celano is secretly supporting the continued existence of piracy. With Habil egging the opposition to Celeno on, the council makes a vote of no confidence against Celano. Habil declares that he will sail with Lys to the capital in Carthago to inform the council there of the decision of the nobles. Celano is distressed, and orders Quarter to once again try to track down Lyle.
Lyle, however, has not got over his feelings for Lys. Quite the contrary, he resents her coming marriage to Habil. While telling Celano he is going to track down Lyle, he instead goes to the house of Lys and outright kidnaps her, physically picking her up and flying away with her to the Peregrine, and sailing away. Unfortunately for Quarter, the White Swan is faster, and catches up to them. The ship is quickly boarded. Quarter thinks quickly and declares that he has changed his mind and has decided he wants to join the pirates back in a life of piracy. He declares that he and Lys are in love and have run away to marry each other. Lys does not approve of the “marriage,” but evidently does not want Quarter to be thrown to the sea serpents by the pirates, so she goes along with Quarter’s plan. Quarter, Lys, Lyle, Diamond Blue and Brinix a somewhat awkward dinner together on the White Swan, reminiscing about old times and their relationship with Celano.
Meanwhile, a merchant relates to Celano and the Council (and thus also Habil) that Quarter has run away to join the pirates along with Lys. Habil is left silent for once, but a different council member points out that Quarter stood to gain from piracy against ships carrying mangos, as it made his own cargo so much more valuable. Celano comes to believe that Quarter has been working against her the entire time. Celano decides to get in a ship herself, and track down both Quarter and Lyle, taking up her sword.
Quarter feels conflicted about his situation, but not more so than Lys, who is upset at having been forcibly removed from her comfortable situation to be in this near hostage situation. They start to argue in their bedroom in the Peregrine. However, their argument is overheard by Brinix, who realizes that the defection is phony, and travels back to the White Swan to tell Lyle about it.

She takes a small number of nibbles at the peanuts and the popcorn, and Silver can hear the sounds of peanut crunching and magic aura. At some point, she switches to her right hoof, and reduces the crunching sound, evidently intentionally trying to reduce noise.

Lyle and Brinix arrive on the Peregrine late at night and, swords drawn, takes Quarter prisoner. Lys is placed under supervision by Brinix, while Lyle takes over the ship. Lyle believes that he will be able to use the ship as bait against Celano, whom he will then be able to encircle with the White Swan and the other pirate ships. It is revealed that Lyle sent the merchant earlier with the message, as he expected Celano to immediately come looking for Quarter. The film shows a scene of Celano in her own ship, and it appears that Lyle's plan is working as intended.
Lyle, an old acquaintance of Celano, has parked the Peregrine by a rocky outcropping favored by both Celano and Quarter, and thus one of the first places Celano would look. His plan is to park the Peregrine with Quarter in it by the rocky outcropping and let Celano approach it. When Celano is near, he will move out from behind the outcropping and attack with the White Swan and the full pirate fleet.
What Lyle had not accounted for was Diamond Blue, who was in a different room when Lyle stormed the ship and managed to flee away from Brinix in a rowboat. In his small boat, he cannot go very far, which works to his advantage as Celano approaches. Celano sails in, and sees Diamond before approaching the outcropping, slowing down enough to pick him up. Diamond attempts to engage Celano in conversation just as her ship approaches the Peregrine. Diamond tries to explain the trap to the still somewhat surprised and non-believing Celano. Celano is hopeful to hear that her old friend is still on her side, and at the insistence of Diamond uses her telescope to take a closer look at the Peregrine in the distance. She sees a flash of light reflected off of a plate by Quarter who is trapped in his cabin, and then sees where the light is reflected to: The White Swan, behind a particular set of rocks.
Celano quickly orders the canons to fire and to steer away, although only just barely in time. With Brinix in the Peregrine and Lyle in the White Swan, both ships fire at Celano’s ship, and begin a pursuit. A number of other ships are soon revealed following behind, with now an entire fleet following Celano. Celano orders a number of items thrown overboard and every sail high to try to evade them, and soon enough, Celano is pulling ahead and away from the fleet.
… Until a canon shot hits the main mast and destroys it, severally crippling the speed of Celano’s ship. Brinix in the Peregrine approaches Celano, ready to destroy it. In the last barrage, a shot manages to hit and destroy a connecting piece of the rudder, keeping her ship in a sharp right turn.
But in the Peregrine, Lys, who is not chained up and is no longer under the close watch of Brinix, sneaks off and frees Quarter from his confinement. Quarter sneaks up behind Brinix and attacks him. While Brinix notices him and the attack fails, it does start a fight between Brinix and Quarter that moves between swords and blunt objects like a telescope. The Peregrine is left directionless, and a sudden left turn causes its canon barrage to miss Celano’s ship.
Meanwhile, Celano sees that a fleet of friendly ships have assembled to help her fight the pirates. These are the other former pirates she knew in her past, merchants, some of the nobles who have decided to forego their mistrust for the sake of the common good, and even a ship from Chiroptera who have come to fight the mango thieves. Habil has even come to fight in this battle, albeit likely for his grudge against Quarter. With the Peregrine wondering aimlessly, and with the new fleet approaching, Celano goes full speed into the right turn, ramming the White Swan. The collision is such to entangle the two ships between their rigging and masts, and sailors on both sides board the other. Diamond engages in a fight with a few pirates, while Celano goes straight into battle with Lyle. Celano, while more experienced, has not held a sword in a while and it shows, as she misses the first few hits. Diamond butts in and saves her at one point. Celano quickly regains her stance, and eventually regains her prowess.

On the Peregrine, Brinix gets entangled in a set of rigging, and Diamond manages to move to trick him into cutting a rope that was holding a cannon in place. The rope around the cannon pulls him down and off the ship. Lys manages to get ahold of the wheel, and signals to the allied fleet not to fire on them, saving the ship. Celano disarms Lyle, and tells him what she has learned about the friendship and serving the good in her time. Lyle does not seem to believe this, grabs his sword, and dives towards Celano. She dodges, and Lyle knocks a canon back, which already lit, fires right at him, and knocks him off the ship. Celano meets up with Diamond, who has found a rowboat, as the two get on the rowboat and off of the White Swan as it and Celano’s entangled ship both sink. They are taken onboard the Peregrine by Quarter.
With the two lead ships of the pirate fleet captured or sunk, the remaing pirate ships are demoralized, and try to split away. Celano takes control of the Peregrine and gives out a command to the allied fleet to track down the remaining pirate ships. The other ships enthusiastically follow her lead. The pirate ships attempt to flee, but a reinforcement of frigates from Carthago show up in the other direction, cutting off the retreat. The pirates are forced to surrender.
The next day Celano is welcomed by the council back as the governor of Sunderby. She declares that she will go through the pirates and determine their fates accordingly. She says that she is considering imprisoning Quarter for is abduction of Lys. Lys runs over to Quarter, however, and declares that she has fallen in love with Quarter and wishes to marry him. Quarter is forgiven, and even praised for his help in stopping the pirates. Quarter and Lys embrace as Habil begrudgingly accepts.
And so ends the film.

She whimpers. Her long, blue tail spread across the floor. She breathes in, and cries out. She says words, but they are not entirely coherent. She moves her head up, and looks to Dark Night with watery eyes. Tricky sits on the other side of Sorrel, and pets her likewise.
“Only just a year ago, I remember him flying-“ is what she seems to say

Tricky looks back over at Dark Night. She has a sorrowful but serious expression, and she lays a leg over her shoulder. Sorrel stretches her neck out, and tries to lay her head on the floor, she dislikes this, and places her head on whatever parts of Tricky or Dark Night are near. Her wings unfold. The green wings are long, much longer than would be guessed by looking at them. Her left wing extends and presses into Dark Night, either running past him, or above him.
She starts mumbling about school, about a home, and about gardens.
Tricky starts to rub her hoof long ways down Sorrel’s back. She says “it’s okay.”

They move out of their Sears, down the dark corridors of the theater, and walk over the maroon carpets past a small herd of ponies, until they are outside in the chill air. A small amount of mist falls onto them as they walk onto the well-lit street, and to Silver’s new car.
>>161057
“But they took it. They took him from us. From me.” She says, her head turned up and towards Dark Night, with tear filled eyes.
“How can it be alright?”

“It still stings…”
Sorrel sits up for a moment, and then leans against Dark Star, pressing perhaps a significant portion of her weight against him. She sniffles.
“And it’s never going to be the same…”
Tricky moves closer, and closer to Dark Star likewise. She continues petting her.

pony is hugged
Sorrel, who is sitting up at this point, is pulled in towards Dark Star. Her forelegs slide across the wooden floor a few inches. Her wings, both extended, are not under Dark Star’s embrace but above it, snd she moves her left wing in, effectively hugging Dark Star back. Her fur is longer, and a little bit rougher than comparable mares, at least in Dark Star’s limited experience.
She moves her head up, and presses it across Dark Star’s. Dark Star can feel a tear run down her cheek.
Sorrel stops crying and speaking, but sniffles. Dark Star can feel a foreleg wrap around his back. Evidently Tricky has moved in to hug her from the other side, with Sorrel sandwiched between them, and his foreleg touching both Sorrel’s shoulder’s and Tricky’s chest.

Sorrel makes a high pitched whinnying sound, and moves her muzzle downwards. Her face is pressed directly against Dark Star’s, her left cheek against his left cheek, and now the bottom of his muzzle with the top of hers. Her long mane is soft, and it too can be felt against his face.
Tricky is now definitely close and hugging her, rubbing her back, and touching Dark Star’s belly.
Sorrel sniffles again, and her breathing is fairly heavy. But she’s quieted down after a few whinnies
>>161064
“Well… I’ve never done anything like that before.”
She smiles, looking up at Silver

“You must be really strong to live through that.” She says.
Sorrel twists her body to move her her fore section onto her back, and then her hindquarters follows, until she is entirely laying on her back. She moves her fore to be as much physically underneath Dark Star as is possible, with her hind legs sticking up in the air. She moves her forelegs up onto his barrel, and hugs him. Her wings unfold across the floor.

Tricky comments:
“I think the bed would be more comfortable than the wooden floor.”
Sorrel tries to wrap herself on Dark Star, but gravity is against her. Still, Dark Star can feel her forelegs try to grip his back, and hold her onto him.

“Well then, let’s go.” Tricky takes the initiative of moving to the bed, standing up, and walking to the bed, getting on laying down against the wall. Her left side is against the wall, and she lays partly on the left so that her belly is exposed. She folds her left legs beneath her, her hind leg extends out behind her, and her foreleg is folded. She tilts her head down, and looks over towards Dark Star with her golden eyes.
Sorrel lets go, and falls onto the floor along with her duress open wings, entirely on her back.

She extends a hoof, and with some effort, can be pulled up off of her back, rolling onto her hindquarters in a sitting position, snd then to standing up. She looks at Dark Star, smiling, blushing, swaying slightly, with her wings half-extended.

Sorrel moves into the bed, snd lays down on her back. As on the floor, her wings unfold, with one falling off the edge of the bed, and one pressing up against Tricky and the wall. Her lower section snd hindquarters are pressed between Dark Star’s back and Tricky. She bends her left hind leg, and tries to rub Dark Star’s back.

Well then….
Presumably Dark Star squeezes himself on the bed between Sorrel and Tricky. Tricky moves herself to roll partly on top of Dark Star’s belly, so that she makes contact with much of his body. Sorrel is less prepared, and is pushed aside, almost off the bed.

Dark Star has only very little formal training on Changelings to go by. He knows that there is some sort of tell in the eyes, although precisely what that tell is, he cannot articulate. He knows that the most famous mods of attack is for Changelings to disguise themselves as young maiden mares and prey upon single or adulterous stallions looking for a one night stand or a fling or was that and old mares tale to scare stallions into behaving?. But he knows this is far from the only means they will use. Indeed, they will do anything and everything to steal pony love, from addiction and replacement, to targeting foals and the elderly.
Dark Star knows from his own experience that to be drained of love by a Changeling is an utterly miserable experience, with an emotional pain that becomes physical, and a draining of the love of life itself. He knows it can affect even memories, and can dull the very perception of reality itself. He knows that they have the ability to cocoon stallions and mares much bigger than themselves - he’s seen it - like a spider’s prey, and leave them in stasis as their love is drained. He knows that they can disguise themselves as a drained pony, and live their life. He’s seen it. He knows that the entire process is voluntary, that they can drain as much or as little love as they like, though their list will always incline them to take more. He’s heard of their powers of mind control, to put stallions in a trance, or to make them think nothing is wrong at all, and let them continue on with what they think is a happy relationship, while their insectoid lover eats away at their soul. They can overtake a much larger and stronger stallion, that much is certain.
These two find young mares look, feel, and sound very real. Surely, they must be. Just two young mares from near Cloudsdale who fled during or sometime after the Changeling occupation of the region, who are now homeless and single, and who have been wandering around for likely several months now. Surely they must actually like, or even maybe list after “Solar Night.” Right? It makes as much sense to accuse Glistenning Glass, or Lunar Nadir, or June Rising, or even Blue Skies of being a Changeling, right? They aren’t there to steal Dark Star’s love. Or to avenge their fallen sisters… even if they were Changelings they couldn’t know about that. There’s no way they could. And they couldn’t be here to spy on him…
White Star would tease him for his skittishness in the face of the two mares.

The cart goes along a side walk, and then through a largely unpaved road through the park, past grass and bushes, and barren trees, into a small patch of wilderness, with the lights of small shops and houses on each side lighting up the fog in the distance. The air is rather cold, and small amounts of mist come down to cover the fur of the two ponies. The stallion pulling the cart makes a rhythmic clopping sound as the pulls the two along.

Silver finds the scenario rather calming, riding along in the coolness of the night. He looks down at his date, to see how she is enjoying it so far in the early part of the trip.

>>161208
She is slightly startled by the initial jolt.
But more importantly, she seems to be cold, or at least, unaccustomed to winter in Baltimare, even if it's a pleasant spring or autumn day for Silver.
The cart slowly goes past lamps, leafless oak trees, and starts around a large pond.

"You look little chilly, Khoi. Here, allow me..."
Silver takes his suit jacket off, as he's still somewhat comfortable with the temperature. He drapes it around Khoi's shoulders, giving her an extra, if minor, layer of protection from the cold.

She looks up at him, blinks, and then lets Silvers drape her in the jacket. Soon enough, Khoi is sitting upright with both her dress on, and Silver's jacket draped over her. She smiles. The jacket has the added effect of keeping water off of her dress.

The big unicorn smiles back. The two can now continue to enjoy the quiet night ride, with the pitter patter of the driver's hooves being one of the very few things to break it up. After a couple minutes of riding together in silence and looking at the lights of the city pass by, Silver decides to test the waters just a bit with Khoi. He scoots closer, putting him a bit closer to his date.

Alright, time to really test the waters. Silver slowly puts a forehoof on one of her hindlegs. It's not close to anything particularly sensative, but it is still contact.

She turns her head over towards the point of contact, and looks at = it, moving her hindleg away slightly, though not enough to break the contact if his hoof is indeed on her.

It is indeed on her. He looks down from the hoof making contact, up along the kirin's form to look right in her face, to give her one of his trademark warm smiles. The hoof doesn't move or attempt to do anything that would break her demands, it merely stays there as a point of contact between the two.

Khoi turns her head, looking up and over with a strangely emotionless expression. And then out of nowhere, she blurts out,
"I'm not having intercourse with you tonight."

What a thing to say to break the silence between them. Silver gives her a look of mostly confusion, one that remains for a couples seconds before he starts to chuckle.
"Ehehehehehe! I already knew that, Khoi. That is not point of this."

Her ears go down, and se slightly lowers her head, then pulls her lips back in a toothy smile. She breaks eye contact, and directs her head and eyes forward. Her face becomes redder. She is silent for a some seconds.
Eventually, she says,
"Are all of the trees dead here?"

>>161221
Silver remains like that with her for her silence, spirit still high. Considering she hasn't rejected the contact, he considers that she must have at least some feelings for him. He joins her in looking at the trees.
"Not dead, asleep. It is Winter, and to save their strength for these colder temperatures these trees have withdrawn life energy from their leaves into themselves and have shed them. They wait until Spring comes along with warmer temperatures, when they will wake up once again and these trees will bloom with vibrant green leaves, and flowers for some."

"Oh...." She sits in silence, and then takes a forehoof, and places it over the front of the carriage, looking out.
Khoi moved slightly away and seemed a little uncomfortable at the touch. But neither does she chase his hoof away, as she could have, and all the same is true of Silver's hoof holding in the theater.
She speaks
"It's the cycle of life. We have something like that at home. The trees are most vibrant in the rainy season, and less so in the dry season. Sometimes they will shed leaves..." She pauses again. "But it is summer there now, and it is winter here..."

Still, for as conservative as she is and as little physical contact as she has likely to have had throughout her life, this is a good omen.
"It is far more pronounced further north. In St. Petershoof, this would be considered mild weather, or perhaps even unseasonably warm. I am not sure how much it even snows, this far south." He tilts his head at Khoi. "It sounds like seasons are different, where you are from.
Does it ever snow in Winter, in Ngua Nam?"

Silver shivers a bit from remembering the winters of his youth.
"Bitterly cold. They say that when Windigoes were banished from this realm long long ago, in Severyana their influence remained strong. Rivers and lakes will freeze over, snow will blanket land, and it is impossible to farm as even our moisture-rich soil will freeze somewhat. You need thick winter coat to go outside in freezing temperature for long period of time. Not only all of that, but up north you will find no trees like this, which fall asleep for Winter. It is too cold for them. Only hardy conifers such as pine and yew can survive. Their needles require far less life energy to maintain than leaves, and they never drop them in Autumn unlike these trees."

She looks over, closes her mouth, and slowly nods,
"I think it is beautiful, how nature crafts all living things for their climes. And how everything grows and retreats in cycles. Even the leaves of the trees reflect the essence of nature."

"Even us. Take me for instance. I am same species and race as any other Equestrian Unicorn, but I was born in Severyana, as was my father and his father before him. My family line has been adapted by nature to survive cold, nay, even thrive in it as best as us ponies can."
To demonstrate, he undoes a couple more buttons for his dress shirt, exposing more of his impressive and floofy winter coat that is keeping him warm, and displaying it proudly for the world (and especially Khoi) to see.

Khoi jumps up, pulling away until she presses against the wall of the taxi, and raising her right hoof, staring at the floof with wide eyes. She likely has not heard the legend of Alzughab, yet all the same she knows it instinctively. She mutters to herself "Nhiều lông tơ." After a moment, she moves her head closer, examining the floof with curiosity.

The first thing she notices upon closer inspection is that, for just how rigorous his career is, his floof is in excellent shape. No tangles, no split ends, just a neat, light grey mass of dense winter fur. The second thing she notices is just how neat and clean it is, going so far as to acquire a hint of smell of the coat wash he used before the date.

>>161232
As she gets closer, she's able to see the individual hairs better among the floof. The smell becomes just a bit stronger, a bit more recognisable as the coat wash they use at home. Continuing the trend of cleanliness, she sees no residue of such coat wash on his fur, implying he's done a good job of rinsing it out. There's also no oily shine indicating that it hasn't been washed properly, and in the cool dampness of the night she can see tiny drops of mist condensing on his coat. As they pass through a small breeze, she sees the indiviual hairs of his floof flow like a wave. It's like looking at the rice fields of her home, if they were much taller like wheat or corn.

The floof seems to not be acting aggressively. It remains as it was, simply moving in the breeze. Silver chuckles at the display.
"It does not bite, I promise. You can come closer."

She does not lose her hoof. Instead, she feels through her cloven kirin hoof just how soft his floof really is, as well as feeling the warmth trapped by his winter coat.

The end of her hoof is enveloped by the floof, and is virtually transported to a world of softness and warmth. It is a stark contrast to the chilly outside air.

The warmth feels good against her sinking hoof. She can see why the Severyanan is comfortable in this weather, as her hoof feels starkly different from the rest of her. It feels good.
Just when she starts to get worried about the depth of his floof, she touches the firm, muscular pony inside.

>>161243
Firm, muscular, and warm from the heat in his floof. There is only a little body fat, as a significant amount of it is muscle mass. She can feel bumps or imperfections on his hide where he has been scarred. The unicorn feels like he's a mountain of a pony underneath all of that fluff.

If Khoi seems to be a near mythical creature in her own right, if her culture seems sometimes alien, and her homeland far away and exotic - it must be remembered that Silver, the winter, and this brave new world of Baltimare is foreign to her. The similarities between her and their cultures are far greater than the differences, but the similarity only invites comparisons and highlights differences.
Khoi leans in, then scoots slightly closer, and pulls her lips back in a smile that specifically lets her small fangs hang out. She starts rubbing her hoof within his fur against his hide in a circular motion.

The floofy unicorn lets out a little happy little horse noise from the lovely massaging motion. He closes his eyes and gives a blissful smile. The motion also releases small amounts of trapped warm air that travels up her foreleg, warming her up slightly.

She pulls her leg back, startled by the new source of warm air, but then presses forward, and slowly comes closer to the floof.
Silver may contemplate how content he is with this activity eating up his carriage ride.

And she presses her snout directly into the end of his, making contact, and rubs her snout against his, touching the fur on either side of his nose in the motion.

Slowly and gently, Silver places one forehoof on her hindleg, and the other draped around her shoulders. In this way, Khoi gets the maximum floof contact possible in their current position, and boy does it have an effect. Khoi might have wondered what it would be like to touch a cloud sometime in her past, and if she did, Silver feels exactly like how she imagined it. His fur may have a few drops of dew from the moist nighttime air, but it can easily be forgotten and forgiven for just how soft and comfortable his floof is like the best pillow or blanket in the world, and the warmth! She feels much warmer already as the trapped warmth within his fur washes over her. It's enough to give a kirin floof envy.

Silver may want to move his jacket to maximize her contact with his floof. Or not. Silver raises himself slightly to have the small Kirin under him, and she slightly lowers her shoulders to let it happen. Silver contacts her slick fur and her smooth, silk dress. He can feel himself rub against her scales underneath her dress. Her mane is moved at least slightly out of the way, though her can certainly feel it. Khoi moves her head to face forward. She has a smile, albeit a someone awkward smile.

Silver does indeed move his jacket to maximize contact. He enoys the unique feel of his kirin, the intimacy of their position, and the lovely winter night they are riding through. The unicorn wonders to himself if this is the most physical contact the little kirin has had in her life, or at least for a while.
And of course, how could he neglect the poor kirin's chest floof. He looks down at it, admiring it just as he admires the kirin it belongs to.

“Whatever do you mean?”
>>161264

She looks out into the night air, riding alongside Silver. Her head pokes out, contacting Silver’s head and neck. He may need to be careful to avoid her horn.

Silver still admires it. He rubs up against his date, not in a sexual way, but to snuggle, cuddle, be closer to, and enjoy the feeling of his kirin date. Other than this, he happily enjoys looking out at their surroundings with Khoi.

Trickey herself looks half dazed. She appears to have found the second blanket, and is hording it as a pillow, which she lays her head on. As a source of warmth, she wraps her left foreleg and hind leg over Dark Night, and presses her chest against him - she is spooning him. She does smile, evidently at Dark Night's most recent comment. She is listening.
Sorrel scrunches, and crosses her forelegs. She lays her head back. Her head is upside down, her long blue mane spills everywhere on the bed and over the side, and she stares at Dark Night while upside down. She slowly lowers her hindlegs, letting her hooves touch the end of the bed.

As a source of warmth, she wraps her left foreleg and hind leg over Dark Night, and presses her chest against him - she is spooning him. She does smile, evidently at Dark Night's most recent comment. She is listening.
Sorrel scrunches, and crosses her forelegs. She lays her head back. Her head is upside down, her long blue mane spills everywhere on the bed and over the side, and she stares at Dark Night while upside down. She slowly lowers her hindlegs, letting her hooves touch the end of the bed.

Khoi at times jumps in reaction to snuggling moves... But she prefers the floof to the chill air. Mist falls down in a fine, light rain. Moving along to the side walk, stone-face candy and flower shops pass along one side, and street lamps and large barren trees on the other, and then past bronze statues of stallions, and fountains with the sound of trickling water.

She looks up
"I see..."
It's a unicorn stallion, wearing some sort of jacket and pack with a cap. Evidently military. His right hoof is raised, and he is looking forward in the direction his hoof points. The base of the statue emulates rock, like he's standing on one large rock.

“General Hoebuck. Helped clear out the Diamond Dogs and natives back when the unicorns first settled this land, of something. He was the first governor.”

Anywhere that's not here. Actually, isn't Hellquill a ways to the southeast? Hopefully the road is headed that way. The train is a better option, but where were the tickets supposed to be?

Hellquill is pretty far North and East, best accessible by train from a different country. The Northern border to Bronzehill is 20 miles away, but it's 20 miles of swamp, and then there is The River to cross. The western border to the Imperial Heart is only 40 miles to the West. But above this, all of this, the train station is slightly over a mile away.

What good is taking the train without a ticket, particularly when you have luggage you cannot part with? At least Amber isn't to blame for this situation. Are there any roads to Bronzehill?
What is certain, though, is that Amber is now de facto an outlaw in the Empire, even if wanted posters have not gone up yet.

There are no bridges crossing the Griffking before the Imperial City. The fastest route East out through Hellquill is the train West to Griffinheim, then East to Hellquill.

You are on the fastest available route
The structure is oddly less grand than Amber might have expected. Whereas Equestrian train stations are tall and open, designed to impress visitor when they first enter a city, this train station more functional and economical with space. Rooms are smaller, and the dominate architectural feature is blocks of limestone on the facade, which compliment a wooden interior. The building is two stories in areas, and has the same red tile roof patterning as defines most of the architecture she’s seen.

"I am not!"
She scrunches, and then turns her upper body from laying on her back, to laying on her belly, twisting her head, shoulders, and forehooves.
The following takes place almost in slow motion. As Sorrel twists her shoulders, almost like a rope her body winds up, and then unwinds, with her barrel and her hindquarters starting to rotate clockwise, twisting 180 degrees to turn her onto her belly. The problem is that her hind legs are and have been partly extended upright. They move from above, down to her right and off of the side of the bed, until they hang out over the the edge of the bed. And with their weight, the change to her center of gravity, and the momentum of the twisting motion halted by her legs hitting the side of the bed, Sorrel's hindquarters move over and off the side of the bed. And the rest of the pony follows... Her hind falls off, then her belly, and finally her front is dragged off as well. Her eyes widen, she presses her hooves into the mattress... but it isn't enough. Sorrel falls off of the bed and clashes onto the floor.
Tricky looks up over Dark Night at the commotion.

"Well, I washed it in the water, used one of the soaps, rinsed it, washed it with a different wash, and rinsed it again..." She looks down at her fur. "The bathrooms are nice at the house."

"You said it would be a good idea to up the dishes!"
"But you're the one that lit it!"
Mint Marine and Paper Clipping bicker
Something is playing on the television, as late night programing plays on the radio
Mint Marine walks up to Silver
"He's the one that started the fire!" Pointing to behind the couch

Silver is suddenly very confused and very worried. He puts on a stern look.
"Woah, wait, you said fire. What happened?"

Mala walks up from behind Silver
Mala:
"They all started it."
Paper Clipping dives in hiding behind the couch
Mint Marine turns to look back to Silver:
"We were mixing candies and we tried to mix them and it didn't work, so we used the stove to melt them, which worked but it singed the candies so it was stuck to the dishes, so Paper suggested just turning the stove up to get the rest off, and that caught it on fire which caused the griffin to get involved, and she got Mala and he got upset and then the dishes fell off...."

Mint Marine lowers his ears, his head, and his tail, and leads Silver into the Kitchen.
The Kitchen smells like burnt caramel. There are a few black plates on the stove, a number of wrappers and boxes on counters, and there on the floor, White Orchid trying to mop something off the floor. White Orchid looks up at Silver, wide eyed.

Mint Marine:
“Well yeah, there was taffy and there were gummy bears and chocolate and we wanted to mix them but it wasn’t enough to just mix them in a bowl because the texture wasn’t right so we needed to melt it. And the unicorn is an adult and he said to do it so we did it.”
Paper Clipping from the other room:
“I didn’t say to do it!”

White Orchid just has an incredibly wide smile, trying to place the mop behind him so it's it of sight from Silver, nevermind the fact that it's taller than him and clearly visible.
Mint Marine:
"Well they are, but wouldn't you rather have all of them all at once? I mean if they are good on their own they must be better together? Friendship and all, like Twilight taught us. Just with candy. We thought it would be tasty"

“Well then I’ll buy a ticket. Helder, can I borrow some money?”
Erich owes Amber probably at least a hundred fractal guilders.
Helder groans, rolls his eyes, and pulls money out of his pocket, giving it to Erich.
Helder comments:
“I wonder how they knew where we were. And if we are safe as soon as we leave Katerin, or if they will come for us anywhere in the Empire.”

A steam engine pulling a number of green coach cars pulls into the station, with its loud chugging sounds, and releasing steam that is caught by some of the cover over the platform, slowly covering the platform in a fog.

There is no way he got away from a high-priority police raid that easily, especially not after shots were fired.

The lights are on and the door is open. Khoi lays down on her belly, her body fairly elongated along the bed. Her tail and it’s long brown hair extends across the bed, while her mane is still up. She had taken her dress off, and Silver can see the shiny copper-colored scales that extend across her back. She is evidently wearing a beige underwear that almost blends into her natural colors. Her forelegs extend in front of her and her hooves are off of the bed. Her horn lights up, as she uses her magic to comb her mane with a black comb. Her exirsssion is completely neutral as she watches Silver enter the room.

Silver smiles at the small, lithe kirin, appreciating her shiny copper scales, short golden fur, and dark floof. The underwear is odd to the Severyanan, who has always slept in the nude, but he pays no mind to it.
"This is proof, that dress would be nothing without your beauty, Khoi."
He steps inside the room, and closes the door behind him (unless she says something).

He smiles wider at the display, and almost lets out an involuntary d'awwww. He takes it as a "yes", and begins to undress himself from his suit, down to the nude. Perhaps the kirin may find it to be extraordinarily lewd to be undressing himself in front of a young mare, considering she is currently wearing underwear. Perhaps she considers it normal as wearing no clothes is their natural state. Silver does not know, all that is known is that he seems to consider it normal and pays it no mind as he dresses down, giving Khoi an unobstructed view of his extraordinary floof and large frame, which may be a little intimidating in this context and situation even if he remains in a friendly disposition.

As he drops his pants and steps out of them, the now-fully undressed unicorn stands before her in all of his nude glory. Thank goodness he has the willpower to keep certain body parts tucked away, for the sheer floofiness of Silver uncontained by his suit is already enough for the poor kirin. She's already seen him naked before, but in the current context it feels just slightly different. From the dark grey dorsal stripe running down his back to the cutie mark of a sword in mid-swing, she is more acutely aware right now of certain details of his person.
The naked floofy unicorn, once undressed, now trots over to her bed, sitting down on it and causing her to feel it shift slightly from his muscular weight. He smiles kindly at the scared kirin.
"There is no need to be afraid. I do not bite." He mutters under his breath "much...".

Silver takes it in his own, and gently helps her into a sitting position. With a bit of adjustment in their sitting positions, the pair is now sitting next to each other, the naked unicorn and the kirin in underwear. He gives her a warm smile.
"See? I do not bite."
He looks over at the comb she was using to groom her mane, and points to it.

Silver nods, and takes the comb. He positions himself to sit behind Khoi for the best view of his work, and begins to comb through her hair. Whatever she may have expected him to be like, he is surprisingly gentle with her in how he attempts to keep from hurting her, only using enough strength to work out any tangles he finds. The amount of work and care she put in already makes his job especially easy, but still. Khoi can feel that he's doing a good job on her.

There are no tangoes to be found. Khoi combed out all of them before the date, and then any that developed during the date while waiting on Silver to come upstairs. Her mane is long and wavy, though it appears to have been curled artificially for the date.

"Hmm...wait just moment, Khoi."
Silver gets up and out of the bed, leaving the room for just a minute before returning with a brush in his possession. With a "Here we go," Silver returns back to his sitting position behind Khoi, and begins to brush her mane. More than detangling, the brushing does a better job at massaging her scalp, letting him idly brush away as he spends time with Khoi on the bed.
As he brushes, he speaks to the kirin. "I imagine this is all very new to you, and somewhat scary. Maybe even not exactly what you thought relationship would be like?"

"Perhaps it is in Ngua Nam, but in Equestria it is strongest and most powerful basis there is.
It is what united us in first place, and what has kept us united for over 1,000 years." He gives her a slight squeeze around the belly. "You said there is no promise between us. I would like to make one with you now. I will work to better understand and appreciate spiritualism and values of Ngua Nam for you, if you will work to better understand and appreciate spiritualism and values of Equestria for me."

Silver nods, and moves to put the pair in a laying down position. He keeps the outside forehoof around her midsection but moves the inside forehoof so she doesn't lay down on it. He spoons the kirin making himself into a very warm, soft blanket for his small Khoi, with a firm and muscular pony core. He pulls her in close so that she is partially covered in his floof.

Does Amber want to wait a few minutes before getting on the train? I didn’t think so. Travel several cars further back, look in if you feel like it, and then pick a car and get on. Amber gets on, and she has the choice of placing the luggage in a luggage car or trying to keep it all as near her as possible, in the aisle or an empty nearby seat if necessary. She may also sit near or further away from the other griffins.

Has Amber ever been in a train in Equestria? Either way, the coaches are older. The floors are wooden with a carpet running down the aisle. The windows are dirty and square, and they appear to have the simultaneous qualities of having been designed to be opened, while being modified to remain shut. The griffins vary in their appearance from useful and healthy, to old and infirm, male and female. It's at least half full in total, perhaps 20 or so griffins besides Amber's group.

What did Amber expect to see walk through the door at the front of the coach? Nothing? A random, riding griffin? Lord Tirek? Princess Celestia, back from her exile? The spirit of harmony incarnate in a pony?Mustard Trim the white, shining stallion of her dreams here to sweep her off her hooves and rescue her from a life of mundanity? Barney the fucking the Dinosaur?
No. Those threats we most expect, so very often, are precisely what come to pass. At the end of the aisle, Amber sees a brown brown griffin with a cap and grey-black uniform enter. A police officer. He is followed by a second, grey griffin in the sand attire, looking around.

Amber stumbles off into another boxcar and wonders what awaits her going forward, "Oh geez! I sure do hope this trip works out and nothing silly happens!"
Something silly would, in fact, happen.
As the door to this new boxcar clicks shut, she notices ponies fleeing out the far end of said boxcar in a panicked hurry. She turns her gaze to the source of this commotion...
A strange bipedal creature who's body is covered by a green spandex costume and a what appears to be a formal suit over it flails his arms as he stumbles backwards from an incapacitated mare.
"THERE IS NO LOVE MORE SACRED AND PURE THAN THAT WHICH IS SHARED BETWEEN A MAN AND A MARE!"
His victim was a prissy, yellow-and-pink mare, that now lies stunned in a state of what appears to be prolonged orgasmic euphoria, her her eyes having rolled back as her wet tongue hangs outwards.
Amber finds herself alone in the boxcar as she desperately fiddles with the door, attempting to escape.
"Please, somepony help!" There is no reply.
Her pleas go unanswered as the frenzied man charges towards her, his feet loudly banging against the metal floor as he does so.
She withdraws backwards into the nearest corner, trembling in terror before the violent and rapacious charge suddenly stops.
*boop*
Amber opens her eyes slightly...
"BOOP," the alien loudly cries!
Amber feels and overwhelming sense of euphoria as this strange creature's fingertip lightly presses her snoot. Uncontrollably, her marehood winks, her hind legs spray open despite it all.
She feels... She feels hot... Warm, wet heat building in her nethers and she can't help but buck uncontrollably against this intense heat, her hind legs kicking weakly.
The alien leers at her, his faced turned downed in what appears to be a predatory pose.
"Men and mares we're meant for each other," he hisses as he reveals his manhood.
Amber opens her mouth to protest, but she finds the soft, supple lips of this "man" have already met hers. He sucks and whirs his tongue about as Amber weakly resists.
The heat rises and Amber Sunset can't help but force her tongue to dance with his.
Now she bucks violently, as if her marehood itself demanded attention.
She immediately feels a shaft slowly begin to invade her marehood and she can't help but moan loudly. It's so wrong yet so right.
"My name is Anonymous and I'm a MAN," the alien breathily states, having reached full bore.
Between moans, Amber Sunset coils and releases herself, fully embracing this wonderful assault.
It's over in several minutes as Amber feels his member part her. She now feels oddly incomplete in its absence. She looks up only to be given a final kiss. And what a kiss it was...
This "Anonymous" gave her a final parting look of what appeared to be acknowledgement before leaping from an open window as trees blurred past.
"No," Amber thought. "Not yet!"
Two royal guards burst in from the far side of the cabin, their looks of determination turning into horror as they saw Amber.
One guard, a grey earth pony stallion, reluctantly approached her. "By Celestia! Are you okay?"
Amber grinned absent-mindedly as she met the stallion's gaze...
"There is no love more sacred and pure than that which is shared between a man and a mare," she states, blushing intensely.

Perhaps this is the most bodily contact she has ever experienced before. Perhaps not. What is known is that Khoi can feel every contour of Silver's body, even under all of that floof. She doesn't feel his "Sword", thankfully. Perhaps she feels his sheath, but that's an unavoidable fact of biology that she may not even know anything about. Silver seems surprisingly calm, perhaps he even is a calming, protective influence for the small kirin. Or not, who knows?

For her benefit, Silver doesn't advance any farther, or try to push the envelope. He just stays there, holding and laying down with his kirin as she very slowly becomes acclimated to the close contact.

Oof. That, that hurts the unicorn. Pain and old trauma are clearly visible on his face when she says this, and after a couple seconds he works hard to bury it back down.
"...N-no...I did not." He smiles sadly. "But she died fighting, as hard as she could have..."

Silver's voice is different from hers. It may too be accented, yes, but the resolve he speaks with carries with it an undercurrent of deep, tragic emotion.
"No. It will not. I will not let you go through what I had to."
Under his breath, he says something to no one in particular, in a language Khoi could not be more unfamiliar with.
"Ты не узнаешь, каково это жить без нее..."

Khoi tilts her head, but then rolls over, until she is on her belly, with her right foreleg folded on itself, and her body is slightly on its right side.
“Well… I cannot take care of myself and foals.” She says. “I do not want to marry a second time ever… and there are not that many good stallions who want a mare with someone else’s foals. At least, not as many as who want a virgin mare. I must get the right husband the first time, as it is the best chance I will ever have.”

Is she facing away from, or towards Silver?

"Because I will take care of you better than anypony else can, and give you and our foals life you deserve. And there is one advantage I have over colts your age you could meet: I have knowledge and experience to back it up."
Silver leans in close, drapes a foreleg around the kirin mare, and goes in for a kiss. Khoi, who now knows what a kiss is and knows what it is he's doing, may stop him before he makes contact, if she so pleases.

And so the two kiss. He is faster in advancing this kiss than he was with the previous two, advancing to lip nibbling and smooching after just a second or two. After just a little bit of kissing, Khoi can feel his tongue poke and press against her lips to find an opening as he explores her willingness to move further into the kiss.

In that case, he keeps his tongue (mostly) contained. He pulls her in close into more full-body contact, once again letting her feel the contours of the stallion's form.

His blue orbs, as bright as the sky, meet her magentas. A slight blush can be seen faintly on his cheeks as his tongue slowly pokes through her lips, and meets her own. As they make contact she feels her mouth vibrate slightly as he lets a small, deep moan out. She can also feel his breath against her face, and it feels hot. Especially hot, compared to the cold of outside they left just some time ago.
Silver takes the opportunity to readjust his lower body's position, giving some room between himself and his kirin in case certain things on his body, ahem, "react". Their upper bodies, away from the danger zone, remain in full contact however.

He's still on the loose...
>>161750
Silver makes contact with the tip of her tongue - but only just barely. She pulls away, breathing the kiss. She has a wide toothy smile that shows her small fangs, her forelegs are together in front of her, and her chest fur is fluffier than most elsewhere on her body.

He looks at his kirin with lidded eyes and a mischevious smile stretched across his face which does not show teeth. He uses the foreleg against the bed to hold her cheek, while the other holds her exposed side. The soft kirin feels heavenly to Silver, especially now.
"I think you are starting to get hang of kissing."

Silver looks longingly into her sparkling magenta eyes. He stays silent save for the sound of his breathing, made heavier by the intensity of even their shortened kiss. His blush reddens ever so slightly as the hoof on her cheek moves up to stroke and play with her mane and the hoof on her side slowly runs up and down. He scootches very slowly and very carefully back towards her. He tries to be as close as he possibly could be to her while still avoiding scaring her with any inapproriate contact from his "little friend".

She's not perfect (as a stuffed animal). She's too heavy for Silver to place a leg under, except maybe her neck, lest his circulation be cut off. Her back is scaly and fairly hard, rather than fur covered and soft. Her horn is a big downside, as it limits where Silver can place his head and neck, or even forces him to have her horn lay on his cheek. And of course Silver can't thrust an erection against her without possible backlash. On top of all of that, this isn't the biggest bed in the world.

She flinches slightly. Her horn is mahogany colored with two blood red chevrons between the base and midpoint. The horn is relatively long, probably as long as Silver’s and longer than an equivalent unicorn mare’s. The shape is oblong, it bends backward at a 30 or so degree angle, and splits two thirds of the way up into branches, like a deer’s antlers. The horn isn’t actually that hard, and is covered in velvet.

>>161936
"Wow...it is so soft! It is amazing to see and feel differences between our horns."
He continues to run the frog of his hoof against her horn.

“Heh heh…”
She moves slightly away and further down, but the distance is small, and not even remotely close to enough to escape Silver.
It isn’t that soft, and the velvet is thin and overtop harder horn. The horn is slightly thicker and larger overall than Silver’s, or at least, a unicorn mare of comparable size.

Oh, of course, what is the unicorn thinking? It is rude to investigate a creature's horn without letting them investigate his in turn. He lowers his head, putting his conical unicorn horn directly in front of her view.

It must be emphasized that with Khoi’s back to Silver, she’s at an awkward angle to him. She looks up, and then moves her head up to look at the horn which is above her, bending her head and back. She has that same, awkward smile on her face.

“Uh…” she closes her lips, then opens then back again.
“I can’t really… I can’t really see it…”
Silver is upside to her from this angle. Even to manage it, Silver is nearly impaled by Khoi’s horn.

kirin is maneuvered
If Silver is feeling especially playful, he may take each of her hooves above her head, and twist her as in a dance, rolling her over. If not, he can press on her shoulders to roll her over, or just ask. In any case, Khoi is rolled over from her right side to her left, and then positions herself on her belly. Now laying down with her head up, she looks at the horn, and then pokes it with her hoof.

There is a very fine layer of fuzzy light grey skin covering the conical, boney appendage that sticks out of his head and through his mane. It isn't quite as velvety as hers. There is a swirl pattern in his horn that extends all the way to the tip.

The static feeling becomes a bit more familiar to her. It's the feeling of magic, flowing through his head and horn.

Silver nods.
"Those are Earth Ponies. They have magic of their own, even without wings or horns. Most think it is only for growing better crops, but it is special kind of connection to planet that extends far beyond mere agriculture."

Silver smiles, and moves to get up from the bed. Before he shows her he does some stretches to keep himself limber. And, hopefully for Khoi's sake, she can't see his "Sword" exposed from their cuddling and kissing session.
When ready, he begins to demonstrate a number of stances and fighting moves in the ancient Earth Pony style: taking a wide stance, keeping all his hooves constantly on the ground, and making wide, powerful attacks and swings.

Khoi varies between pulling further away, staying close to Silver, and being perfectly passive. She isn't really his yet, in the proper sense, nor does Silver have a path for satisfaction of all of his desires. But perhaps it's a satisfying enough ending for an otherwise sometimes stressful day.

He can see the grey skin of her dock, the grey, puffy lips of her vulva, and her pink interior. Her clitoris moves out from the tear drop shape of her lower vulva in a wink.

She raises her rump up, making it easier for him to meet her. As he kisses her, the clitoris retreats between the lips, then back out, moving her lips ever so slightly apart.

She tastes a bit tart. Just a little less sharp than the whiskey, and not as sweet as syrup.

Dark Star’s tongue bounces off the soft, supple pearl of flesh, before moving in. Her lips part as his tongue moves inside, and her walls move away, then twitch and press back in.

griffu is smiled at
She can't quite see him well though, as he is still on the side opposite her.
>>162111
The tart liquid starts to slowly dribble out and pool inside of her. Dark Star grabs ahold of her little piece of flesh in her mouth, before it pulls away from his grasp, and retreats back inside of her - only to come out still again. She lets out a small moaning sound.

She lets her wings fall down to the side of the bed while keeping them fully extended. She turns her head to look at Dark Star with a smile that is at once warm and seductive, with a large, happy smile and half-lidded eyes that almost seem to glow green, and long eyelashes.

She moves her long, slender muzzle upwards to meet his. The angle causes their mouths to meet ninety degrees, and lets them lock perhaps even more easily. She giggles at the taste of her mouth, perhaps because of the taste of herself on him. That's quite alright, as Dark Star may have tasted himself in her. Her mouth tastes just a bit like alcohol, and her lips are thin. Her tongue comes up to meet his.

Silver either sets out of bed and moves around to the other side, and stands up and walks over top of her. Either way, Silver moves to the other side of Jubilosa. There isn’t much space, abd he’s on the edge of the bed. But there is space enough.

He nods as he goes up to Jubilosa and sits next to her. He offers her the glass of water.

He smiles at her.

The Inqustif looks down at Erich.
“Where did you come from?”
The griffin’s voice is comparatively high pitched. Strange, considering how tall the griffin is.
He is silent for a moment, before answering
“Unten Imbach. A village north of here. I’m going to see my sister in Griffenheim.”
The inquisitor does not hesitate
“You didn’t come from the Summer Palace?”
He grins widely; confidently.

She presses her beak together, and blinks halfway through. She does not reply, at least not immediately.

The other two police react, but are unable to pull their guns immediately, if they have guns at all.

"Having fun?"
Dark Star pushes aside her walls, and can feel lubricting liquid moving around him, slowly being pulled out with each thrust. And he can feel her push back, attempting to clamp down each time he moves out, to make his movements that much harder, but softening up as he thrusts in. It's as if her body does not want him to move out of her.

Amber is stuck in a difficult place, yet it's an opportunity. She cannot do nothing, because the lone griffon would likely lose against the police and the investigation would resume.

Silver turns around to see his beautiful Jubee in such an exposed and vulnerable pose, knowing there is only one thing to do. He moves over his griffon, careful not to step on her wings, to lay on top of her to protect her in this vulnerable state...and while he does so, it gives him the perfect opportunity to cuddle her. And unlike with Khoi, there is no concern about full-body contact.
He holds his Jubilosa's cheek with a hoof as he stares lovingly into her eyes, before diving in for one of their somewhat odd, but still amazing, kisses.

He moans into her mouth as their tongues perform the dances Khoi refused to.

Amber tears off one of the sleeves of her shirt and gives it to the strange interloper to use as a bandage. Acutely aware of her own wound, she tears off the other sleeve and presses it against her side.
"We need to get off the train, quickly," Amber says to everyone.

Amber cannot agree more and evacuates with the crowd, helping the female griffon along. The still-panicked look on her face may help, as may the lack of a firearm which she left behind. Some of the passengers may be potential witnesses for what transpired, but the authorities for now have their lead cut short.

Kiss, kiss, kiss, all the way down her body, feeling her feathery chest and the short fur on her belly. He stops a moment to blow a raspberry against the griffon's tummy before he resumes. Kiss, kiss, kiss, all the way down the temple that is the Goddess Jubiloss's body, down to his Goddess's altar.

He gets down to her altar, the slit of carnal flesh and pleasure upon which the unicorn intends to worship. And worship he does, taking his hooves and spreading her vulva just slightly to peer inside her. He presses his snout against the opening and breathes in deeply of Jubilosa before giving her a long, slow lick.

Let's redo the section. I don't like how the layout of the platforms was not described
The station platforms are "bay" style, with the steam locomotives (all of the locomotives are steam) backing into the platform. The train Amber was on was on a platform close to the main entryway. Amber must walk right past the train in order to get to the other trains. More to the point, the car that Amber was on was the second to last on the train, and thus Amber must pass near the police activity. There are at least two more long platforms past Amber's train, with one having a train on the right side, and thus leaving that platform exposed to view from inside Amber's train.
The luggage car does have the great advantage of being nearly as far away on the same train as it can be from the car of the most activity. Unfortunately, to get to it Amber would need to either walk on the platform past the activity, or cross across rail to get to the car.
The platforms are definitely much lower in activity than before, with Amber's train and the waiting area having been evacuated. There is another train on the other side that still has griffins going to it, who either returned or never heard the gunshots. The police have not sectioned off the platforms to prevent everyone from entering, or at least, they have not done so to unrelated platforms. Amber sees at least four police officers roaming about and two medical personnel, although that is likely only a fraction of the activity.

Iron moves through the mud of the riverbank, each press of the hoof pushing it down and aside. Sometimes, the mud holds firm enough and Iron steps with no problem. Sometimes, the mud creates suction and makes it difficult for Iron to pull his hooves out. Where water pools, the suction is more prevalent than where the mud piles above the water. All the same, discerning where mud will be firm or problematic. The mud clings to him, moistening his fur and making it subtly heavier and clunkier with each step.
The sky above is adorned with a small number of clouds, but it is the blue sky that dominates the view. The sun is high above, and bears down more oppressively than the cold, winter air would imply. It’s a darker and deeper blue more akin to the afternoon or twilight than high noon, and altogether uncanny and unlike the skies Iron has seen before. The sound of running water permeates the background. It’s a low volume, as the brown, sickly looking water flows only through a portion of the area between it’s banks, mud taking up the remainder, and it does not flow with much speed. Behind and well above Iron is a tall bridge with two limestone brick pylons supporting old, rusted, rolled-iron side and middle spans above, with a main span carrying a rail-line, and an attached wooden section off to the side allowing the passage of carts.
Iron looks at the wooden remains of what was, evidently, once a cart. It is upside down and badly decayed. Underneath, Iron sees what he is there for: the tops of at least two cast-iron flasks. The cart is on the border between the mud and the flowing water, and mud is at its worst here, being obnoxious to move through. Over on the side, Black Cauldron has her side pack on the ground, trying to remove tools. She moves slowly, but deliberately. White Sands stands out, with her long, flowing, and otherwise beautiful mane largely frayed and tangled. Mud clings to the bottom of her belly and her legs. She moves quickly and almost angrily, moving a rope around the base of a dead tree further up on the sloping riverbank, and then moving the rope closer to Iron. Unlike Cauldron, she will move through the mud, and come to Iron.
Iron moves through the mud of the riverbank, each press of the hoof pushing it down and aside. Sometimes, the mud holds firm enough and Iron steps with no problem. Sometimes, the mud creates suction and makes it difficult for Iron to pull his hooves out. Where water pools, the suction is more prevalent than where the mud piles above the water. All the same, discerning where mud will be firm or problematic. The mud clings to him, moistening his fur and making it subtly heavier and clunkier with each step.
The sky above is adorned with a small number of clouds, but it is the blue sky that dominates the view. The sun is high above, and bears down more oppressively than the cold, winter air would imply. It’s a darker and deeper blue more akin to the afternoon or twilight than high noon, and altogether uncanny and unlike the skies Iron has seen before. The sound of running water permeates the background. It’s a low volume, as the brown, sickly looking water flows only through a portion of the area between it’s banks, mud taking up the remainder, and it does not flow with much speed. Behind and well above Iron is a tall bridge with two limestone brick pylons supporting old, rusted, rolled-iron side and middle spans above, with a main span carrying a rail-line, and an attached wooden section off to the side allowing the passage of carts.
Iron looks at the wooden remains of what was, evidently, once a cart. It is upside down and badly decayed. Underneath, Iron sees what he is there for: the tops of at least two cast-iron flasks. The cart is on the border between the mud and the flowing water, and mud is at its worst here, being obnoxious to move through. Over on the side, Black Cauldron has her side pack on the ground, trying to remove tools. She moves slowly, but deliberately. White Sands stands out, with her long, flowing, and otherwise beautiful mane largely frayed and tangled. Mud clings to the bottom of her belly and her legs. She moves quickly and almost angrily, moving a rope around the base of a dead tree further up on the sloping riverbank, and then moving the rope closer to Iron.

The stallion keeps grinding and grinding, pressing the length of his stallionhood against her sensative entrance. The head drools prejaculate against the short fur on her pubic regions. He keeps his muzzle pressed against her beak where his hot stimulated breath blows gently against her face.
"How do you say 'I love you' in your language, my dove?"

She moves her beak slightly off to the right side, so that Silver's muzzle makes more contact with the left side of her beak. She opens her eyes, and half-lids them, aiming her purple eyes right at Silver.
"You don't say. You do."

He meets her with his own blue orbs, and chuckles.
"Action, not words. I am familiar with this."
He opens his mouth, and goes in to kiss her. As he does, he presses the tip of his Sword once again against her lips, and increases pressure slowly until...
POP
Jubilosa feels it when her lips part, and the fat ridged edge of Silver's Sword enters her, stretching her parted walls.

"Umph!"
Silver gets ahold of her beak, and lower on her body, he can feel her wet, smooth walls move apart. It takes some force, and he has to press hard to make his way in.

He takes a moment to let her recover before he starts to trust, slowly, in an inch, then back to almost leaving her. Each time he gets just a little bit deeper, his stallionhood progressively becomes more engulfed by his griffon's tunnel of love.

As Silver has experienced before, she isn't very big, and is a bit tighter, albeit more slippery, than Silver may prefer. She leans her head back, and opens her mouth with a moan. She again closes her eyes as she lets Silver move on (in) her.

A number of thrusts later, she feels the medial ring knock against her stretched vulva. He pulls back slowly out to his flare, focusing her on every sensation of every ridge against her tight, wet walls, before thrusting back in to his medial ring quickly. He does it again, and again, closing the distanct between his head and his ring just a bit faster and just a bit harder every time.
With the amount of fluid they are both releasing, the sounds of their union have become wet and vulgar already.
squilch, squick, slop, squerch

She makes another moaning sound. This is one is almost pained. She raises her claws, and places them on Silver's shoulder. She closes her beak together tightly, and closes her eyes.
Silver can feel her wet, gripping around him, and pressing down in a constant movement. Whatever Silver may have wanted to do earlier with his early date, and whatever he has been repressing until now, Jubilosa will not keep from him.
"Umph.." She tries to suppress making more sound. Perhaps it is well that the door is closed.

Silver's breath becomes heavier as the thrusting wears on. He looks at her with some concern, but keeps thrust in and out, in and out, over and over again.
"Are you okay? I can slow down if you wish."

He kisses the tip of her beak.
"I worry for you, my love. I do not want to hurt you."
He pauses and the apex of a thrust, takes a wider stance with his hindlegs, and presses against her lips with his medial ring, increasing pressure until with a slick squelch it too enters her.

She smiles, and looks into his eyes. Is she looking right into his eyes? Right into his soul? Far past him? Hard to say with her beak touching his muzzle, and the two so close together. He can feel much of her body as well. Her fuzzy chest, her soft belly, and of course, that tight, wet grip around him.
"Ah!"
She opens her beak, and looks upwards, towards the ceiling. Silver can feel that he's very possibly hit the end, stretching her insides. She takes her claws off of his back, and places them under the covers

Once again, he takes a few moments to let her catch her breath. Or, perhaps, he's catching his own breath. Regardless, after this very brief break he starts to move again, pulling out until he has almost exitted her and then closing the distance to her deepest fathoms. She feels it as his balls are finally close enough to meatily smack against her rump at the peak of the thrust in. He repeats the action, then again, getting back up to his previous pace quickly.

A soft grip on the tip, and then down the middle, and then at the base. She has some control to loosen or increase the grip. More than that, she places her hind legs on the bed, and starts moving her lower portions up to meet Silver. She forces him inside of her, or will change the angle, causing him to hit the top of her insides, and then hit her at a lower angle.

He stops increasing the pace of his thrusts, and even slows them down a bit, as she starts to grip down and pleasure his stallionhood in this way. The unicorn tells himself to pace himself, and let them both savor this moment just a little bit longer before he breeds his wonderful griffon. The way his heavy breathing starts to unsteady gives away to Jubilosa that said moment is growing closer with every thrust.

"Uhmp..." She breathes out heavily, keeping her beak open. Sometimes, her eyes are closed. Sometimes they are slightly open, and stare up at the ceiling. And sometimes, she looks right at Silver.
She looks up, arches her back, and warps her claws in layers of bedsheets.

Desperately, Silver holds on, keeping the tide of foal batter held back just a little bit longer. He looks deeply into her eyes, closed or open, focused or not. He focused on his griffon, the object of all of his love and affection in this moment. His thrusts become needier and needier with every push in, and the sounds from their sexual congress can be heard in the room.
slap, plap, squelch, squick, plapp, pap, squrck, squish

"Ah..." She looks into his eyes... and then break it, looking up, then closing her eyes, then moving her head all the way back, almost upside down. She arches her back up, contorting that par of Silver that is in her at an angle, and pressing her upper belly and chest into him.
"Ah.. Ah!"
She presses her claws down, then rubs them against the bed, then moves them across the bed closer to her, and then upwards and onto Silver, pulling the bedsheets with them. Silver must be greatful that there is more than one layer of bedsheets and covers between them as she claws into his shoulder, and down his forelegs with great force. She opens her beak wide open, and presses it tightly together.

That's the very sign he was looking for. The unicorn leans his head over, takes her shoulder into his mouth, and speaks as restrained and muffled a "NNNNGGHH!" as he can into her. He trusts once, twice, and with another grunt releases the held back flood of seed into her. He breeds his griffon with rope after white hot rope of cum that splatters against her insides. Her belly swells slightly as the seal his medial ring makes inside her tight canal keeps the foal batter from escaping all at once. Only a little of the precious white substance leaks out from her vulva while he remains as hilted as he can be inside her.

"Ah! Ah! Ah...." She looks upwards, dazed, breathing heavily out of her open beak as she grabs onto his shoulders and pulls down. She throws her hind legs out, and presses against the bed until they go limp.

The ropes start to taper off to a trickle after a little bit. Her young, griffon insides have been strat bombed by the barrage of pony seed, filling her like a balloon and white washing her fleshy walls. He slowly lowers himself down on his shakey limbs to rest, pressing against her sensative swollen belly making her look like she's in the early stages of a pregnancy. He looks lovingly into her eyes, and quickly moves to kiss his Jubee deeply.

He holds his griffon carefully and affectionately. He keeps hilted in her, keeping the virtual ocean of semen locked inside her. Making sure at least one of her wings are folded up, he lays down on the bed with her, the connection of their genitalia rolling her to keep facing him.
"I love you, Jubee. Every time I breed you, it is like I feel our souls connect."

"Yeah... that sounds lovely..." She says, though her words are barely coherent in her dazed state.

Why does sneaking by police feel so familiar?
In this case it would be unwise to stay on the same platform.

Iron's neutral, almost cold and emotionless look fixated on the rope, extending his neck and mouth out to grasp it in order to reach one step closer to actually retrieving such heavy yet valuable materials stored within their firmly stuck containers.
Even as White waddled through the earthly, sticky mud, the earth stallion couldn't help but wonder if bringing her along was really a good idea in terms of her feelings. A part of him felt as if he led her to a suffering session with everything that has happened so far, despite knowing she desperately needed the money for her family back home. All the native hoped was she'll get what she desired.

Iron figured tying the rope around the flasks and promptly pulling them out would be a solid enough idea: There would be far more leverage outside of the mud, meaning it'd be far easier to pull from there.
With that in mind, he'd carefully try to find a good spot to start his first step of his plan.

There is a piece of wooden debris sticking out of the mud maybe 20 feet or so from the cart. It isn't very high, and it is far away. But it is positioned in the right area so as to provide good leverage, should Iron try to pull the flasks out.

Before Silver even leaves the room, he notices two, or perhaps more important details. One is shelves of items that appear to include vases, ceramic constructs like bowls and an amphora, a wooden totem, a few small statues of thinks like a black dog, and a few paintings in the impressionistic style. There is also a new dresser, with photographs on top. There is a television set on the left, near the door, which has a wider screen, black plastic, and a more "efficient" construction than the one downstairs, although it's about the same size. And finally, though importantly, is what - or who - is in bed next to Silver. Mostly under the covers is an equine, evidently, with a long strawberry mane than comes down over the covers, and lemon yellow fur, with a muzzle that sticks out that is narrow relative to the face, and though not particularly long, looks ever so subtly fox-like.

The sight of the items around him makes him pause before he leaves. This is a very well-decorated room, and a TV in the bedroom? It's quite opulent, but...this isn't what he remembered his room looking like. Where is he? Who is this mystery pony? Perhaps looking at the photographs on top of the dresser will give him an idea.

In the photos, Silver sees....
Well it's not certain what he's looking at. He's never seen these scenes before. Never. And yet he thinks he recognizes some of the ponies in them. One is a wedding with a pegasus of light grey coat and darker grey mane, with some different color streaking in his mane, to a pegasus mare who is... green? Everything is grey in these photos. Silver has never seen the mare, but the stallion appears to be Spectral Streak. In another photo are two ponies, a unicorn and an earth pony. The earth pony is larger and is wearing a... light green? uniform that appears to be some kind of military dress uniform, albeit not one that he is familiar with. The smaller unicorn stallion standing next to him is wearing the hat and robes of a graduate. Both are smiling widely, and hugging each other. These stallions certainly resemble Mint Marine and White Orchid, although much like Spectral Streak, they appear much older. In another set of about three photographs is a what appears to be Silver and a mare that Silver recognizes as Pear Faucet, all dressed up in tuxedo and wedding gown. In another photograph is Silver and the same Pear Faucet standing together, the latter having a wide smile, in front of a set of desert mountains with a beach and a straw hut in the foreground, and the aluminum glimmer of a plane wing in the background. The location is entirely unknown. And in another photograph is Silver, Pear Faucet, and one, two, three small foals he's never seen before. Hard to tell the exact coat and mane colors in the black and white.

Unless there is something under the mud, the cart and the flasks do not appear to be connected together. This is because the cart is upside down, and the flasks are underneath it. Moving the cart probably won't move the flasks, but it might make getting to them easier.

In that case, Iron figures it'd be best to simply tie it to the flasks and simply nudging them out of the wreckage from here in case the contents might break from crashing at the wood.

Silver is quite the confused pony. He recognizes none of these pictures, and the ponies in them look older than he knows them to be. And in these ones it looks like he's married to Pear. What is this? Is this...is thisthe future?
He looks back at the strange pony he was sleeping with, examining them and wondering who they are.

Pear Faucet...no wonder he doesn't recognize her. He really must be in the future! But, how far? And how is he still alive, if she is that much older? He looks outside through the window to see how things are different.

If Cauldron didn't specify the amount of flasks, then Iron might as well tie the rope to the cart wreckage instead to see if they're missing anything else that could be worth something.

>>162484
It is so.

The deck seems a little different, with the plank that extends out being removed and instead there is a straight railing. Down by the bay, is a small pier with a white painted motor boat, with it's curved fore, open top and windshield. There is a "boat house" around it, although it is nothing more than a triangular roof supported by four posts. In the bay are several yachts, two freighters, and what appears to be some kind of small patrol boat, although much further in the distance. Across the bay, the smoke stacks of the power station are gone, though the station remains. More of the swamp and forest has been cleared for what looks like single family housing. Over in the city, it looks like there are a few more taller buildings in the city center. The eastside, by the harbor is hard to see at this angle because of buildings not being especially tall, but it appears that many of the old tenements are gone and replaced either with newer, taller apartment buildings, or factories.

Wow...it looks like Baltimare has grown substantially. And he really did get a boat. A nice looking one at that. Silver turns around and sits back down on the bed, looking at what is apparently his Pear's sleeping form.

The cart moves a little, the rope becomes very tight, and the wooden post bends. But it fails to move, at least by much.
Cauldron:
"Careful! You could break the post."
White Sands:
"No. Keep going! It needs more strength!"

And Dark Star is laying next to the blue pony
>>162495
Most of her is covered by the bed covers. Her mane is long and is not particularly combed or neat, but simply spills out onto the bed, with some of it under the covers. She makes almost no noise, though there is a small sound made when Silver sits on the bed. Silver can see the covers rising and falling ever so slightly.

Iron exhales softly to slightly recuperate from the exertion before trying to pull again, harder this time. Worst case scenario, he'd had to go back into the mud to attach the rope to another part of the cart.

The cart is moved. It's a bit heavy, but so be it. Much of the sides, and certainly most of the fore, have rotten and broken off, leaving bits of wood and iron straps. There doesn't appear to be any other cargo, although it appears that there is another.... no, another two flasks.

Breathing softly, Iron quickly trots over to the cart's part that's tied to the rope to undo it before going back into the mud to properly snatch all four flasks away from their clingy surroundings.

With that thought crossing by, he soon came back to shore and promptly tried pulling it towards the far more solid soil next to the mud.

Iron didn't stop pulling on the flasks until they reached about Cauldron's position, just to be sure he's safe to go back and fetch the rest. Carrying about 140KG on him shouldn't pose a problem unless they needed to flee quickly.

He maintains the kiss for some time if only to enjoy this new and unique sensation, before breaking it and nuzzling her on the tip of her nose.
"Meet you downstairs, my tasty Pear."
The unicorn gets up, and finally leaves the bedroom to go to the kitchen for breakfast.

Going into the hall, the carpet is different, and the walls are a different color, with more paintings handing on the walls (again, of the impressionistic school of art).

Blue pony is cuddled
Dark Star has fallen asleep in worse, surely, than he has tonight. The room is a bit colder than he might prefer, but the bed is comfortable, the room is reasonable quiet, he has a full set of covers, he isn't ill or wounded, and unlike the night before he may fall asleep with the pony he (presumably) loves under his foreleg, pressed up against her.
But in this quiet, dark room, thoughts intrude. A frightened diamond dog running over to avenge her fallen loved one, shot in the back of the head. He can see blood, bits of brain and skull fragments flying through the air, and hitting the wall. A zebra getting shot right through the head above the eye, blood staining the wall. He can see his eyes lose focus. Or a young, tan coated colt sitting in the front seat of a truck, looking over towards Dark Star with surprise, and then falling over onto the steering wheel, limp.
>>162529
The living room is different as well. The shelves are still there, though many of the items are different. The television has been replaced with one more like the one upstairs. The taxidermied jaguar is gone, and the same is true of the Starcross wolf upstairs. The most obvious difference is that there is now a stairway going down beneath the main stairway, and a railing to prevent falling down on the side.
Inside the kitchen, the tile and counters are the same, but the wood of the cabinets is different. Silver sees a waffle maker and a coffee machine. Inside a cabinet are a number of dry cereals and oatmeal options.

The rope twists and seems as if it is about to break... but does not.
With an odd squish and plop sound, the two flasks move up and out of their mud tombs, on top of the mud. They are very much old and covered in rust.
>>162532
Would you look at that? There is indeed oatmeal waffle mix
>>162533
Moving towards the colt, he is an earth pony, probably about 17 or 18, and is wearing a simple jacket and hat. Dark Star knows this scene. He was driving one of the two trucks at the Blackbriar Pier. Dark Star shot him in the lower head with his Colt, and then set the vehicle in drive, turned the steering wheel, and sent it off the wharf into the bay.

But this is not how the scene plays out. The limp corpse of the earth pony colt is causally knocked off of the steering wheel, then moved again to make way for the gear shift. His body is in the truck as it crashes into the shallow, muddy and gasoline film-layer water, and sinks.

"No no no!"
There is the sound of giggling and hooves clopping on the floor.
All of a sudden, a small creature runs up in front of Silver
It's a small colt, maybe four or five years old, with a very messy and tangled strawberry mane, a bright yellow coat, piercing blue eyes, and a dark grey stripe running down his back. He looks upwards directly at Silver with the widest smile his face will hold, and a wagging tail.
In from the front entry to the kitchen, walks in Pear. Her mane is up, and her long, bushy strawberry tail is held together by two ties. She has a short pink woolen robe, and on her back rides a small, cream colored yearling filly with a short but bright mane and green eyes who clings with all of her legs.

It is poked, and limp. But the scene changes..
It's late afternoon, deep jungle. High canopied trees, and dense underbrush. Ponies in uniform move back, towards a clearing. There are flashes of yellow light in the darkness under the canopy, both single flashes and repeated flashes, and the sounds of rifle cracks and automatic gun fire. Off further in the distance is the whistle and wail of artillery, then the crash of explosions and the cracking of trees falling down. There is much yelling, and a pony in the foreground falls after a flash of red.
But then, one partly pink, partly pinto white pegasus stallion flies in carrying a submachine gun, firing into the under brush, charging into the darkness, as artillery explodes to the left, to the right, and behind him, until only the black smoke of the exploding shells can be seen.

Like ducks at the pond when you have bread, Silver is followed by a procession of small foals over towards the dining table. Brown Birch, dressed in her blue skirt and with her ponytail mane, pulls a seat aside, and sits at the table. Powder flash moves a chair, jumps up, gets his hooves on the edge, holds on... and falls off, onto his back. Pear removes Daffodil from her back, and places her in a special booster chair that she has to take some time to get ready.
>>162553
The sound of the shells flying through air, and then hitting the ground overpowers most everything else. It seems his brother is gone.

The syrup is unfortunately not quite as good as Silver remembers, but it is otherwise rather satisfactory.

Pear:
“I don’t think we have any cups they can take with them. School doesn’t start for many more minutes anyways. Birch, just finish eating your waffles.”
From the living room, there is the electronic sound of the television coming on, and the sound of music playing. It’s a trumpet, playing a version of a patriotic Eqiestrian song he is familiar with.

Dark. Mostly dark, anyways. There’s light from a street lamp outside and a small light by the bathroom near the entryway. Blue Skies may or may not be asleep, hard to tell. She has a mess of papers on the table (as always), a bottle of some kind of alcohol, her jacket, Dark Star’s jacket, and then a sash hanging from the wall next to a spear (of all things).

Silver goes into the living room to see that the television has turned itself on. Music plays; it's a common song used as a sort of 'national' song of Equestria since the days of Silver's youth, but while the song is familiar, the specific version is not. An orchestra plays, though a single trumpet stands out the most.
The screen has a grey background, with a symbol that takes up much of the screen. The image shows a a pair of horseshoes back to back with the curved portions together and the open end opposing each other, between a set of bars that are underneath four stars above with another bar above, and below the pairs of horseshoes is a heart with a horn above, a feathered wing to the left, and a webbed wing to the right, with another bar beneath. To the left side of this symbol is a manticore facing the symbol. He holds a fasces low in the right claw and holds a shield high. To the right and facing the symbol is a greyish colored mare standing who has the white outline of a horn, the white outline of a left, feathered wing in the fore, and the outline of a right, webbed wing in the back. She too, is holding a fasces low with the left hoof, and holds up a shield.
Above these symbols and in the top half in white lettering are the words
"From the Consulate"
The music softens as the words "An Important Message from the Office of the First Consul" are spoken

Silver instantly recognizes the symbols, and their meaning: the Black Hooves. But the specific combination of them is alien to him. If this is the future, is this then the flag of a Black Hoof, Fascist Equestria? Silver listens in carefully.

"What is it?" Pear asks
The music dies down and moves to footage, possibly live footage, of a mare at a big wooden desk, with flags behind her. The mare is a pegasus with a bright coat and curls in her mane. She looks young. Very young. Too young for a position of such obvious importance. Not any older than Pear was... well, since he knew her before.
"Good Morning, ponies. And what a morning it is. Today I come to you with the most important message of my time as your First Consul."
She sits up and moves closer to the camera.
"For a decade now, millions of our brothers and sisters have been the slaves of and hosts to a race of monstrous parasites - a race whose very essence is deceit, and whose sustenance comes directly and only at the expense of the joy and will to live of our fellow ponies. For a decade, these parasites have occupied the lands settled and tilled by our ancestors for fifty generations, lands that even now our brothers and sisters till and harvest in the hopes that someday they may experience the joy they felt before these vampires came to squat on our lands.
The lands and ponies of Western Equestria and the Crystal Empire were lost to the incompetence and treachery of the alicorns after the loss of a million ponies. One million of our older brothers, fathers, uncles, sons, husbands, fiancés, and friends." She breathes in. "They did not die in vain, as by their sacrifice, they bought us time. Time that my predecessors used to, by force and by diplomacy, keep us in the West and the Diaspora free from the love-sucking changelings and griffin claw by overthrowing the corrupt, rotting carcass of the old regime and empowering the common pony in our new Republic. And for a decade, my predecessors have tolerated the oppression, the brutalities and the cruelties inflicted on our fellow ponies every day by these monsters." She breathes in and out
"Well, my little ponies, we tolerate no longer. For in that decade, we have not sat idly by. No. We have secured the unity of our nation, and have diligently but secretly prepared the instruments, spells, and machines that will liberate our fellow ponies and reclaim the lands that are our birthright."
Her eyes become serious, and a malign smile forms across her face
"My little ponies, I am pleased to announce to all of you that as of this minute, 6:13 AM Canterlot Time, 11:13 Sunset time, this morning, Monday, April 7th 1022 in the Common Era, our emissaries have delivered a formal declaration of war to the Changeling Hegemony. This day will forever after be remembered as the start of a glorious crusade. A glorious crusade that not only liberated our brethren and forever ended the threat of one of ponykind's oldest enemies but marked the transition of Ponykind to a firm embrace the power of friendship. Today, everypony shall come together in common cause, and each embrace the pillars and elements of harmony for ourselves. We shall not simply follow the example of a half dozen heroes, no, but as a nation, become the paragons who will serve as examples to generations not yet born, generations whose prosperity will be secured by our actions in the coming minutes, days, and months. Our forces have organized near the border with West Equestria and will advance after bombardment. All ponies now in national service will be extended for a term of service required by the State, and all ponies in reserve within ten years will be called back into service.”
She pauses
“And I am pleased to announce to all of you, friends, Project ‘Heavens Fall’. For the past several years, our magicians have been working on a top-secret wonder weapons program. And with this wonder weapon as the foremost weapon in our arsenal of Harmony, I have ordered a first strike against military, economic, and administrative targets all across the Hegemony in West Equestria, the Hives, Olenia, and the Polar lands. West Equestria was consecrated a decade ago by the blood of our martyrs. And now it will run with the blood of its oppressors and be liberated by the fires reigned down by our magicians.
I’m proud, by golly, to be your First Consul in this hour. To lead ponykind into its glorious future. By the power of friendship we will gain the inevitable triumph. Equestria will be unified, or it will die. justice be done, may the heavens fall.
Thank you all, and Long Live the Republic.”

Silver feels a chill run down his spine upon the declaration. A swirl of mixed emotions comes flooding in, only increasing in intensity as the true depth and realization of what has happened and what is about to happen begins to hit him. With a dread look on his face, all he can manage to say is:
"Oh no..."

Pear walks into the living room. Now as then, she moves with a cautious, almost silent slink turning her head towards Silver, and towards the television. Her fur is visibly standing up, her ears are high, and her eyes are wide. She looks as if she is overcome with an electrical energy. A smile comes across her face. "Did you hear that? We are going to war."
Birch moves her chair, and carefully gets off, coming into the living room. Powder Flash just jumps off, landing on his front hooves and immediately runs in. Daffodil attempts to jump off the same as Powder Flash, though her landing is less elegant, landing on all four hooves which slide on the floor, and she almost falls. But soon enough, all three foals run into the living room. They fear nothing, moving into the living room with the speed and agility of a pack of wild dogs, and as they lope across the floor their hooves make clear clopping sounds.
"War?!" Powder Flash asks.
"Daddy, what does that mean?" Birch asks, though she moves closer to her mother. Daffodil simply moves along with the herd.
The television continues playing. An animation plays on the screen of a set of unicorns who fire beams into a ball at the base of a tower, which then is seen shooting a beam up a pole in the tower, which moves up and goes outward in waves kind of like a radio tower. The beams come to and focus on a moving rock high in the sky, and move the rock. There is a voice over, but it can be hard to hear as the other ponies in the house are moving.
When the animation is done, it moves to what a card, again with that same symbol seen earlier, claims is a message from the foreign minister. This cuts to a grey unicorn with glasses in front of a set of flags behind a podium. He speaks as follows
"The Equestrian Pony's Republic has called its Sister Republics of Aserion, Wingbardy, Falcor, Sicameon, Mareegypt, Dragonia, and Chripotera, to aid in the liberation of Equus from Changeling tyranny.
And to anyone who would consider interfering from the outside: if you do, you will face consequences greater than any you have faced in history. All relevant decisions have been taken. I hope you hear me."

"Well, foals...it means lots of things, but most of all there will be big, long fight between us ponies in east, and changelings in west, like there was before you were born."
Silver seems to not share his wife's enthusiasm wholeheartedly. He knows this has to be done and that Western Equestria needs to be liberated, but he knows what this truly means perhaps more than even Pear does. Especially now that he has a family.

There is no respite in the messages displayed
As if a commentary by a producer, the phrase “36 minutes” is spoken. Then the speech begins in earnest:
"A message from the office of Governor Star."
The screen shows a flag in the center with alternating almost checkered patterns of black and some light color, with a shield shape that is black with a white image of a pony standing on her hind legs on a pedestal playing a trumpet with musical notes. It seems to be the flag of Baltimare as things were in the olden days, but Silver can't really say for certain.
"Per the advise of the Department of War, the Governor has issued a mandatory evacuation order for the City of Baltimare."
The screen displays a map of the city of Baltimare. Baltimare is sectioned into neighborhoods with arrows pointing away from them.
"This evacuation order is a purely precautionary measure to mitigate potential retaliatory action by the changeling Hegemony, and is based upon the theoretical rather than the anticipated capabilities of the enemy. Dangers are threefold. The first is the potential detonation of area of effect weapons smuggled into Equestrian cities by Changeling infiltrators. These devices will likely be of a thermal nature, and may affect a significant area. Potential targets include the Meadow Brook naval base and the power station on the south side of the bay, the harbor, regional administrative government buildings in the city center, and the Flash Prance National Airport.
Those living on the south side of Horseshoe bay should move further south or to the coast line, and regroup at Kereskai Point or Blackwater. As this area is flat, and trees may pose a danger of falling or burning, residents should evacuate to as far away as possible. Residents of Cherry Hill and the Peninsula should evacuate to the north side of hill and regroup at Maretime Bay. The hill should provide natural cover. Residents of the Cowtown and northern districts should evacuate northward as reasonable, and regroup in North Point or Maretime Bay. Residents of the Redheart and Locust Promintory Districts should move south of the Delemare if travel permits and should shelter in place in a secure underground location if movement south of the Delemare is not feasible. Regrouping should occur at Maregate. Residents of the city center, and of the neighborhoods north and south of the city center should move north or south to North Point or Maregate as is reasonable. Those who cannot move out of the city center in a reasonable timeframe should shelter in a secure underground location. Those in Colton Hill and the westside should move south towards Maregate, or northwest towards Mane Chapel. Please evacuate the danger zones immediately and bring with you only the most essential items, including a gas mask. Emergency and military services will be there to help with transportation.”
Silver can see that the arrows and circles on the map match up to the voiced directions. The northside of the bay is one of the safer locations, certainly more so than the southside, but it is still within one of the wider rings coming off of the dot in the harbor.
“The second danger to residents is from poison gas attacks from infiltrators. These attacks may target major transportation choke points, densely trafficked areas, and major industrial centers. Please keep a gas mask with you at all times. If you do not have one, one may be provided by military or emergency services.
The third danger is from poisoning to food and water. Please use test kits on newly obtained food and water and be wary of the following symptoms: Fever and chills. Swelling of neck. Sore throat. Painful swallowing. Hoarseness. Nausea and vomiting. Bloody diarrhea. Headache. Red eyes. Stomach pain. Fainting. Symptoms develop after one or more days. If someone in your group develops one or more of these symptoms after consuming food from a food stockpile, the food stockpile should be circumspect or even discarded.
Besides the above threats, infiltrators may sabotage rail lines or cause damage to oil and chemical processing plants, especially in the eastside. Beware of poisonous gas leaks, fires, and explosions there. Be wary of damage to bridges and rail lines, especially across the Delemare. Changelings may pose as authority figures such as police officers and military personnel, and as civilians. Real military and police personnel will provide identifying information and respond to reasonable questions as circumstances permit. Use your best judgement in determining who to trust."
Also on screen are examples of military identification cards. A few locations are highlighted, like rail lines in the west, the bridges that cross the Delemare, and a few chemical plants in Cowtown and Red Heart.
“Please remain in the regrouping points until the all clear is sounded. Food, water, and medical supplies have been stockpiled, hospitals deemed at risk have been evacuated, and public items of historical or monetary value have been evacuated or secured. This is a purely precautionary measure for your safety.
Hail victory, and long live the republic.”

Those who cannot move out of the city center in a reasonable timeframe should shelter in a secure underground location. Those in Colton Hill and the westside should move south towards Maregate, or northwest towards Mane Chapel. Please evacuate the danger zones immediately and bring with you only the most essential items, including a gas mask. Emergency and military services will be there to help with transportation.”
Silver can see that the arrows and circles on the map match up to the voiced directions. The northside of the bay is one of the safer locations, certainly more so than the southside, but it is still within one of the wider rings coming off of the dot in the harbor.
“The second danger to residents is from poison gas attacks from infiltrators. These attacks may target major transportation choke points, densely trafficked areas, and major industrial centers. Please keep a gas mask with you at all times. If you do not have one, one may be provided by military or emergency services.
The third danger is from poisoning to food and water. Please use test kits on newly obtained food and water and be wary of the following symptoms: Fever and chills. Swelling of neck. Sore throat. Painful swallowing. Hoarseness. Nausea and vomiting. Bloody diarrhea. Headache. Red eyes. Stomach pain. Fainting. Symptoms develop after one or more days. If someone in your group develops one or more of these symptoms after consuming food from a food stockpile, the food stockpile should be circumspect or even discarded.
Besides the above threats, infiltrators may sabotage rail lines or cause damage to oil and chemical processing plants, especially in the eastside. Beware of poisonous gas leaks, fires, and explosions there. Be wary of damage to bridges and rail lines, especially across the Delemare. Changelings may pose as authority figures such as police officers and military personnel, and as civilians. Real military and police personnel will provide identifying information and respond to reasonable questions as circumstances permit. Use your best judgement in determining who to trust."
Also on screen are examples of military identification cards. A few locations are highlighted, like rail lines in the west, the bridges that cross the Delemare, and a few chemical plants in Cowtown and Red Heart.
“Please remain in the regrouping points until the all clear is sounded. Food, water, and medical supplies have been stockpiled, hospitals deemed at risk have been evacuated, and public items of historical or monetary value have been evacuated or secured. This is a purely precautionary measure for your safety.
Hail victory, and long live the republic.”

That's...not good. He knows changelings have been in the city before this. It's entirely possible they could have smuggled weapons into the city. But would they really detonate such weapons in populated civilian areas? And the earlier announcement from the First Consul about their "wonder weapon"...is that what his daughter White Light was working on? Could the Hegemony have a weapon like that, too?
He breathes out. Without even knowing it he has started to become worked up. He needs to be strong and resolute, for his family. He turns to face his foals, and kneels down.
"Okay foals, we are going to be taking trip away from city for little while. I want you to go to your rooms and pack your things. Your mother or I will help you if you need it, okay?"

Pear looks concerned, and her smile moves away
"I'll... I'll get a bag" She says, and starts to move away, towards the stairs.

Once upstairs, he looks around for his own bags and supplies. He also talks with his wife.
"Are you going to okay, Pear? I noticed how your mood changed after I told foals to pack up."

He doesn't hold it for too long, just enough to enjoy the sensation. It's been a while since Silver last felt what it was like to kiss his wife like that. When they break, he continues to smile at his wife.

As Silver packs his bags, he hears a sound from outside of the house, loud but somewhat distant. A loud wailing or howling sound, like an electronic banshee. Silver has heard it before, and knows what it is. It is the sound of blaring air raid sirens with its "Arroooooooooooooo" that is sustained for a solid 30 seconds before repeating again.

Through the sound of air raid sirens, Silver kneels down to eye level with his foals once they have their things gathered. He speaks to them in a calm tone despite the worry in his heart.
"Okay foals, I want all of you to put your bags in car trunk and then get yourselves strapped in."

Going outside, Silver can see that the sun is mostly up, and the sky has turned largely a light blue, with tints of orange still lingering on the horizon. There are only a few clouds in the sky, and a light breeze coming in from the sea. The temperature is ever so slightly above 70 degrees. As before, Cherry Hill has a number of single family homes, mostly with stucco siding, may having odd colorations like permutations of pink, yellow, or blue siding. There is also a row of houses one level further up the hill. Silver can see flags flying in the breeze from flag poles, the flags having a pattern of stripes, horseshoes, and horns and wings.
There are already many cars on the road with traffic moving slow. The cars are moving to the right, towards the entrance of the bay. Several ponies are simply walking alongside the road or walking along a path up the hill, or flying through the air.
Cars look different from what Silver remembers. Certainly there are many more of them, and they have greater numbers of curves, and many more colors - red, yellow, blue, green, and all of the colors of the rainbow, rather than black dominating.
Silver can see that the area beneath the house has been walled in, with a portion (only a portion) serving as a garage.

"You must not have heard the warning. Changeling infiltrators. Some of them were identified before hoof and an effort was to stamp them out. But for every cockroach you do see.... We have to find the rest, and kill them before they can do real damage. They'll be spooked now and on the attack. That makes them dangerous, but more importantly it makes them possible to find.

Last night there were mass arrests to try and gather up as many known infiltrators as possible. According to what I heard on the radio, one of the changelings they went after sent an alert which activated a cell in the new housing projects, where the ghetto was over in the eastside. And of course that's just what they know about. There's a fear these cells have smuggled in weapons. Bombs and other things. They'll come out in the open now that the war is declared, and try to return the punch as best they can. So the Homeguard is being mobilized-"

He scrunches for a moment, but then recovers
"Yeah, I know. So do I. Not a new family, but a- a family. And that's exactly why I need to - why we need to go out, find these infiltrators, and kill them. These infiltrators might possess and conceal some of the most lethal weapons ever devised. And we need to get to them first if our families are ever going to be safe."
He lingers
"All of Baltimare is counting on us. You've fought so many battles before. So have I. Don't let everything you've fought so hard for end here, today. Fight this one last battle. One last enemy to be conquered."

Silver looks sadly at his son, who has faced him with this tough decision. He goes back to his car, to the seat where his wife is sitting, and opens the door to take her hooves in his.
"Pear...what do I choose? What decision should I make?"

Not an ideal situation, at all, and Amber hopes the trio can take turns carrying the bag as they skedaddle. Not tarrying any longer, she seeks to return back to the middle of the tracks and go to the other train's platform, hopefully appearing as an arriving passenger.

Silver opens the trunk to see many items of importance
The first Silver can recognize as a radio. This item is curious in its own right, as it is smaller than he recalls these being. The second is a steel helmet. It's full sized, designed for maximum protection from shrapnel. Next is a pair of green vests that Silver can identify as flak vests, using nylon fiber to protect from shrapnel. Silver also sees a pair of gas masks with goggles.
But it's the item in the center that deviates perhaps the most from what Silver is familiar with. Silver can see that the black, long object, is clearly a rifle. And yet it looks a bit more like the ray guns used by space mares in the science fiction pulp comics of recent years, than it does the elegant walnut clad tools that Silver last carried.
The most obvious feature of the rifle is that the action is located behind the trigger, with the handle and the trigger near the center of the rifle, and a curved magazine extending out behind it that is mid-length between the magazine of the old bolt action rifles, and the long thin boxes of submachine guns. The stock of the rifle is straight behind the action. It is thin, short, and made of steel with a simple butt. There are no iron sights. Instead, there is a handle just behind the center of the rifle with a cone-shaped optical sight. The forearm of the rifle is still wood, with a grooved cylinder for grip. The steel of the gun is coated back, and Silver can see a fire selector switch.

Silver is damn near mesmerized by this mystery gun. If he was shocked at how the city has developed, and how the cars look sleeker and more colorful, then it's nothing compared to this tool of war. He's not even sure if it fires bullets anymore. With the practiced movements of an experienced soldier he puts on the flak vest and helmet and takes the small radio ("Does it even work if it is that small?") and gas mask. The last item he takes is the rifle, and as he gets in the car he can't help but inspect it closer, feel its weight in his magic, and inspect the intermediate-sized magazine and fire selector.

The fire selector is a button that can be pressed in on either side of the rifle. These are "R" and "A".
The magazine is curved, can fit... 20 rounds? And the top of the action is fitted with a charger guide to allow it to be reloaded with stripper clips. The charging handle of the gun is above the forearm, and before the optic.

Spec is driving now, opposite to the main flow of traffic. While the lane leading out of the city and down the penisula is thick with cars, the other lane is clear. To be sure, cars sometimes drive in the other lane, and Spec drives off the road more than once, though the sides of the road are often filled with pedestrians walking away from the city. The sirens continue blaring.
Spec, however, hears Silver
"Oh, you haven't seen the new battle rifle? That's a Lavender Machine 2, Caliber .277, Model Year 1020. Or an M20. The 'Jenny'. 'R' is repetition, or single shot. 'A' is full auto."
Looking down at the rifle, Silver can almost hear the trumpets dancing around as he holds it
>>162702

1020. Silver has a bit of an idea of the future time period he's in. He hopes Spec is paying attention and isn't running over anypony trying to flee the city.

Spec is doing well enough, maneuvering past pedestrians and automobiles. Silver can see there are a few more schools here, and many more single family houses. The amusement park on the pier is still very much there, and with a new rollercoaster. Bird move in the sky.
"If, anything the Lavender was out of date decades ago. They just delayed replacing them for cost reasons. I would recommend keeping it on single fire. It's got quite a kick."

Felderklied is holding a rag to her wound, and is clearly in pain, rocking.

The road merges into north Cowtown past where the peninsula meets northern Baltimare. The streets are congested with automobiles, which are far more numerous than Silver ever remembers them being. There are hundreds of them, with their green, red, blue, yellow, and white colors and smooth curves. There are also a few more houses along this way than Silver can recall. Some of the traffic moves east onto the peninsula, but some of it moves north along the roadway.

Turn the knob to turn on the radio, and also to tune into specific channels. Hold down a button to speak into it.
The car slows down as it comes into a section with shops on either side, alternating with town houses or close single family homes. Silver can see ponies crowded along the side of the streets moving. Earth ponies dominate, although there are some unicorns, pegasi, and even bat winged ponies, with the latter two sometimes flying in the air. Some ponies seem joyful. Some are concerned, or scared. Some are confused. Some are bored, or move around as if it's a normal Monday. Silver passes a pair of mares shouting "woo, death to the Changelings!" who roam about, as well as an older stallion who shouts "the end is neigh. You should have listened!" Both are moved along by ponies in blue or green uniforms, with both a few Baltimare PD officers helping to move along the flows of citizens, and several ponies in what Silver can recognize as the "Homeguard" which he is now evidently a part of. Some of these ponies seem to be standard reservists, but many are beyond drafting age (30s), and even wear military medals. The sirens have stopped, and now speakers play music. National music, with trumpets and drums.

"Most of them didn't experience the War that directly. Not the way we did. It was far away, until it shook their windows, and came through their front door. I think that's why the evacuation has so many of them startled. Really puts a damper on the mood." He pauses, glances over to Silver, and then looks forward. "I haven't forgotten. I hope we send hell back."

From static, there is the sound,
"Air reserves in the air."
"Hey, Meadow Brook bridge coming in?"
"Yeah, uh, no problems yet. A bit of congestion but nothing's blown up yet."
"Keep it up. Just keep it open."
A couple police cars move on the opposite side of the road, moving to a branch of the roadway that splits north on one of the thoroughfares out. There's a diner over on the right side, and a grocery store on the left, and a couple ponies in uniform on the street, one directing traffic, and another on the side. There are more pedestrians and automobiles here, so Spectral Streak slows down.

Silver keeps his eyes out for any suspicious activity, not wanting the Changelings to catch him and his team unaware. With all of this commotion they have plenty of opportunity to try to slip by unnoticed.
"What is plan when we encounter them? Do we try to capture one alive for interrogation, or no prisoners?"

"Depends on what kind of information we can get out of them, and how long it will take to get it."
One police car pulls over on the side of the road, and a pair of ponies get out, one carrying some kind of shotgun, and the other some kind of carbine. They go into the grocery store. The other car pulls over into a parking space along the east/opposite side by the diner, and one officer pony gets out of the driver's seat, and then from the right passenger's seat. In the middle of the square, a uniformed reservist directs a car to move left and north, and then starts to move over to the right police car. Traffic isn't quite at a gridlock here, but it's not moving terribly quickly either. Spectral Streak has been heading into the city on the mostly clear right lane, but it's not uncommon at all for cars to move into this lane to get around traffic, slowing his speed significantly. From inside of the grocery store, a pair of pegasi run out at high speed, carrying a number of what seem to be cans. Spectral Streak takes the moment to pull over on the right towards the other green uniformed officer who stands near the diner on the south side of the block.

Two of them, bright and shiny aluminum with swept wings and yellow wingtips and bands. They are flying low and fast, though they are gaining in altitude.

"Huh, planes with rockets. And they are quite loud. Looks like they might be on patrol. What are warplanes doing out here?"
Silver returns his attention back to ground level and his surroundings.

Spectral Streak:
"Patrol? Maybe. But you can't blow it up if it isn't on the ground."
After a pause
"The whole military was supposed to be doing training exercises before deploying to combat operations in Kiria. Somehow I don't think that's going to happen."
The police car makes a sharp u-turn, cutting across traffic to pull around back south. One of the officers on the ground starts running after the pegasi, although the unicorn is a bit grounded. relative to his quarry.

"According to the briefings I got at least, it's assumed they'd target infrastructure, industry, and military targets. In Baltimare, that means the naval base and harbor, but also things like-"
Clang
Silver hears glass shattering as the police car turned south goes right back into the intersection and runs into the front of another car, partly pushing it aside, and stopping the police car perpendicular to the line of traffic. Soon enough, both doors swing open. The wreck is basically right in front of both of them, as Silver and Streak are parked just off to the side from the right lane of the intersection.

Silver leans slightly to look at the wreckage right in front of them. He's very grateful it's not them who got involved, but he hopes everypony's alright.
"...at least police are already at scene of accident."

The green uniformed traffic cop goes over towards the driver's side door, and stops next to it. He looks in and says
"Are you alright?"
The officer on the other side opens the door and gets out of the vehicle.
And then, from the driver's side door, there is a BANG
And
"Tatatatatatatatatatatatatat"
The officer on the other side stands up, and fires a machine carbine right into the car that is hit with full auto.

A crisp pull, and a bang. About half the recoil of the old Lavender, although the Jenny is shorter and lighter. The shell rotates in the air as it is ejected, and the gun is immediately ready to be fired again.

"Yes. Soon. I still need clothes because otherwise I look like I just got shot." She looks over the items. "And since I don't have any here, I'll have to borrow these." She picks up Erich's set.
"Hey!" Erich objects
"You can shut up. It was your poor hiding that got got us in this situation."
"That's my one set. Be careful not to ruin it." He says
Federkleid makes some remark, but Helder speaks directly to Amber.
"There is a veterinarian directly along the way out, on one of the only roads that goes to the river. Discretion can never be guaranteed but... At least it's not far out of the way."

It turns out, a car having significant damage from wrecks driving on the road isn't that uncommon, or at least isn't unusual enough to turn any heads.
The location is lumber framed with a white plastered wall, a second floor and a very high roof. Helder pulls in, and then decides to pull back out and around the location. There are many trees nearby and a field with cows. It seems they have already moved further away from town.

Helder is ahead of them, parking in the back.
A griffin comes out and greats them, evidently a slightly below middle aged griffin with yellow feathers, wearing a vest and hat with glasses.
Federklied is the first to great him, followed by Erich. He opens the door, and the group is invited inside.

He looks over to Amber, and then down at the wound, if it isn't covered with clothing
"And here I thought you had slipped and fell on some bullets." He looks over at Erich
"Should I be concerned?"
He answers
"No, well, we're leaving. They may be others looking for us. I know we're asking for much, but... for old times sake."
The veterinarian turns and moves over to Federklied
"Alright.. let's get you stitched up and stop the bleeding."

Amber follows the good doctor and waits for Federklied to get patched up first, knowing that she took a worse hit. It still hurts for Amber though, especially without the imminent worry of getting caught.

Amber enters an entry foyer with a hat rack and a wooden store for shoes. Multiple items of furniture like benches and counters are overly covered in white paint. There is a doorway going further in, and a narrow wooden staircase going up. However, it is the next room over that has a bed, a sink, cabinets, windows and restraints allowing it to be useful for medical procedures on smaller animals and griffins. This is where he takes Federklied.
"They got you good. I don't have any plasma. You'll have to just take the blood loss. This will stop the external bleeding, and keep you from getting infected."
Erich stays with Federklied as the doctor works on her. Amber and Helder can stay in the entry foyer if they like, or go into the other room if they like while they wait.

It's humble compared to the palace, but it's better than nothing. Amber has a look into the other room, trying not to get herself concerned about the medical procedure. She doesn't go far into the room but stays by the threshold.

He does what he can to remove the bullet and sow up Federkleid. It's Amber's turn now.

He takes a look at the wound.
“Rather nasty. There’s a little morphine.”
He takes out a hypodermic needle, and injects it into Amber. Has she ever felt it before? It’s not pleasant. But Amber is and has experienced worse. He takes a wet rag, wipes the wound, and applies iodine.
She starts to become numb, but not before he tries to stick forceps into the wound. This is unpleasant.

He has to move around in the wound, clearly not accomplishing what he wanted to accomplish the first time. But after the passage of still more seconds, he finds what he wants.

On the southside, two earth ponies look on at the scene while a bat pony crosses the street. Spec moves in towards the eastside along the street to what seems to be another downed officer. Two ponies approach the vehicle that was hit and then shot at, where blood and shattered glass is all that can be made out from Silver's position with the police car between them. Silver can see that the shotgun wielding police officer from the first vehicle has scurried past the downed the home guard, turned the corner, and is rapidly converging on the location of the machine carbine-wielding officer, who stands in the entry threshold of the grocery store. His carbine, though not raised, is held at the ready, and he looks directly at Silver's position. Silver likely locks his blue eyes to the officer's green as he looks around.
On the northside, cars have moved or even crashed into each other after the shooting started. But only one off-white colored mare is interested in assessing the damage of a fender bender. Everypony else has backed up, gotten back along the road, and started northward. More or less the same story is true of the road east, which has started to clear. A pair of ponies on the sidewalk north by the diner walk slowly, looking on at the scene, while another two lope northward.

In a firm voice, Silver tells the two approaching ponies, "Move along, civilians, this is issue for Police and Homeguard. Unless you are here to help wounded ponies, continue to make your way along designated evacuation route."
To the officer looking out at the scene, Silver locks eyes with him, and gives him a nod as if the situation is returning to normal.

Silver goes to the fallen changelings, ripping off clean strips of cloth to use to at least halt the bleeding. He then brings them over to the doctor.
"It is not exactly hospital-grade, but this should keep him from bleeding to death for now. He needs proper medical attention, probably from evacuation facilities outside of city. Assuming they have set those up."

He takes the pieces and immediately applies them to the wound.
"I don't know. I'm sure the clinics are already overflowing."
He presses down on the wound to apply more pressure
"And here I thought the pause on elective surgeries meant I had a day off."
Spec comes over
"We need to reopen this road."

Silver looks over at his son and nods. He goes over to the changelings' vehicle, moving the body in the drivers seat over and putting the other body in the backseat. Once that's done, Silver tries to drive the car out of the way of the evacuating civilians.

Moving the body is inconvenient to say the least, and the door on the car does not fully close. Nevertheless, the car, needing to be moved from its position locked into the other car, moves a little to the left and across the street. There is not much room to dump off a vehicle, but fortunately parking spaces on the side of the road still exist, and it may be dumped off next to a corner drug store.

Silver just needs to move it out of the way, but maybe it would be better to be just a bit farther away from prying eyes. Silver parks the car at the drug store, and returns to see if anything else needs to be done to restore the flow of traffic.

“I don’t intend to give the inquisition a second chance to get us. They’ll come in greater numbers next time, and won’t let us get the jump.”

Silver goes to the vehicle to see that the hood is penetrated several times, the windshield is shattered, and slumped forward over the steering wheel is a middle aged unicorn stallion. Laying back in the passenger seat is a unicorn mare, who has multiple bloody wounds. Her neck is twisted back, and to the side, with her mouth partly open and muzzle slightly off to the right of the edge of the seat.

Helder:
"Nightfall."

Poor mare...he locates the wounds on the stallion and puts pressure on them to try to keep him from bleeding out completely. Silver yells out to anypony who can hear and help him.
"WE HAVE WOUNDED HERE!"

How big is the farmhouse? It's a more obvious place to search, whereas the barn might offer more places to hide.

Once they've pushed the car out of the way, Silver engages the car's parking brake. He turns to Spec.
"These radios, are they on closed frequency, or can we call someone for help with wounded and deceased?"

Oh, it's the veterinarian's? Amber asks him if he would be so kind as to hide them, and if he has any hidden sheltering spots like a cubbyhole or loose floorboards.

"Is that all?" Amber sounds disappointed by the lack of secret spaces, but unwilling to appear ungrateful, she continues, "Thank you very much. We're bureaucrats of the old government, and although we haven't done anything to warrant it, we're being hounded by the police. We won't be here long at all, just a few hours."

And the radio is already full of chatter
"Meadowbrook bridge, almost secure. We have casualties, but the bridge is intact. Not available for through traffic right now, continue to move around."
"How long until clear?"
"Uh, a few minutes, I think."
"More shots, central plaza. Not sure if they're guarding anything. Requesting support."
"Just leave'em there."
"Has anyone heard anything out of the Regional Transport Ministry?"
"They should be evacuated like everyone else."
"Not if you want the trains to run. I'm getting silence."
"They probably left already."
"Last of the buggers on the bridge killed. They overturned a car, this may take a while. Keep traffic diverted."
It goes on like this.

"Thank you." Presumably, the others will rather stay in the comfort of the house. Amber picks up her instruments and carries them with her to the barn, where she looks for a place out of view.

Silver motions to the traffic as he yells out.
"ALL CIVILIANS, PLEASE CONTINUE PROCEEDING TOWARDS NORTHPOINT!"
After this, he turns to the doctor.
"I am sorry to ask this of you, but do you think you can keep these two alive until medics arrive? We need to regroup with other Homeguard and help defend city."

Pedestrians simply walk across the street, turning their heads to look by with great concern at the damaged cars and at the scene. They quickly trot through the intersection. Cars need a moment to adjust to the situation, but start to speed through, and horns blare as cars try to move past pedestrians, and go north. The streets are backed up as far as Silver can see.
"I, I don't know. We need to get out o here." He says with some fear
Above, a fighter plane roars by at low altitude, going west and into the city.

Silver puts a hoof on the doctor's shoulder to calm him.
"It will be alright. There are police and Homeguard nearby to keep everypony safe, and medics will be arriving soon to help these two. You can leave if you want, but these two need help if they are to survive until medics arrive, and you are only one here who can do that."

"Couple bugs cleared on Falabella. Civilian and Homeguard casualties, but traffic is moving now. Need help in north Cowtown?"
A voice replies. The accent is strong
"Buggers are comin' out like a light shined on cockroaches. We got 'em spooked. Anyone need any help?"
Reply, strange accent:
"We have attempted sabotage at the Six Sister's Oil refinery, uh, the Celestial Oil plant. Trying to cause a backup."
In a Mareland accent,
"Couple got by at WMARE Television station, eastside. Trying to sabotage communications."
