>>161839The poor unicorn is very, very confused.
>>161843What do they mean?
Roll die, wisdom modifier
>>161842Khoi doesn't want an extended makeout session, she will not explain why she does not, and she's definitely not going to back off of this. That much is apparent.
>>161844"So...what is it you want to do, then?"
>>161846It’s… maybe that’s right?
[1d20 = 12]>>161845“That’s enough kissing for now.” She answers
>>161848"But what is it you want to do?"
>>161849“Just not that.” She answers
>>161848"Hmmmmmmm what was that room number?"
He tries to remember
>>161850Silver scoots closer to her.
"Well then...how about we continue cuddling, then?"
>>161852“I can… I can do that.” She says
>>161851It was… well there was a 6, wasn’t there?
[1d20 = 20][1d20 = 4] >>161855Hmmmmmm
He strokes his chin in contemplation
>>161853Silver's warm smile returns, and he closes the distance created between them. With his forelegs around her they once again go body-to-body in their contact. He nuzzles her neck as he resumes cuddling his kirin and her luxurious chest floof like there's no tomorrow.
>>161857SqueakyShe's like a pillow, or a stuffed animal. Only she's larger and exothermic
>>161856A mare walks up to Dark Star and speaks
"What are you doing here?"
>>161858So soft. So warm. So perfect! Silver lets out a happy whinny as he cuddles his own personal stuffed animal.
>>161860She'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.
>>161858He laughs slightly, she can probably smell the alcohol wafting off of him.
"I'm a little lost. i was looking for my room."
>>161862"Your room?"
It's a light purple colored mare with a dark blue mane and webbed wings folded to her side. Her accent is some permutation of a Fillydelphian or Manehattan accent - something in that region anyways.
>>161863"Yea"
He laughs
"I Can't seem to remember the room number."
>>161864"You must be new here." She says, plainly.
"What is your name? I do not remember seeing you."
She seems more cool than warm
>>161865Have i seen her around before?
>>161868"When did you join?" She asks
>>161869His eyes look upwards as he calculates his time with the party.
He then looks her in the eyes
"A week or two. what about you? I don't think I have seen you around before."
>>161870Sense Motive on the mysterious yellow pony who drunkenly showed up on a floor he probably isn't supposed to be on.
[1d20+1 = (12+1) = 13]Her eyes are an icy blue, with vertical, slit pupils.
She answers
"I joined after the armistice, and was transferred to this branch immediately after the Revolt." She answers
>>161871He seems like he is telling the truth
he shakes his head
"And what do you think about it so far?"
>>161872"About what?" She asks. "The city, the branch, or the job?"
>>161874"I think the military made a mistake in not leveling the city with artillery when they had the chance. The job is miserable and worse than working security, but better than retail. The branch is, well like pretending a fire isn't there in your house because you've moved to a different room and closed the door." She answers.
>>161875He nods
"Why do you think the city should have been leveled?"
>>161876“It’s a terrible place. Like all big cities, it takes ponies away from roots, family, tradition, and power, and makes them all compete for money, or position, or power on their own. It’s the slow death of all things sacred. The Anarchists are very bad here especially.”
>>161877He stares past her for a few seconds
Before returning his gaze to Her
"That is actually a very compelling point."
>>161878Sense motive again on the potential anarchist mole
[1d20 = 11]“The anarchists say they want to remove all masters and share all material things. What they really want to is remove all spirit and purpose, and make material things our master. They are the corrupted offspring of this city life; the final product of capitalism. The overlords thought they decapitated them when the unions were banned and broken up. You can’t decapitate slime. They are still around.”
>>161879>11He doesn't seem like one....or does he?
"They're worse than the social democrats. and the social democrats are terrible. I wish the duke would let us line them all up against the wall and gun them down."
>>161880“It would improve the city. But I can see why he doesn’t. We’re outnumbered significantly, which doesn’t help the job.”
>>161881"Maybe somepony should try to get recruits to join up, so we can eventually see that happen."
>>161882“I was recruited locally. Not
locally but out of Bronclyn. They have been seeking recruits. Only so many want to join. You can be ostracized for joining in some circles.”
>>161883"I'm also a local, my brother was one of the ones to initially help the party try and gain a hoofhold in the area."
>>161884“Oh, he was? That would explain why you are here.” She blinks
“So why do you have a room here if you are local?”
>>161885"My Family Home was seized by the local Government and given to ziggers."
He says bitterly
>>161888“I see…. There are enough ponies here competing for jobs and resources. We don’t need zebras, too.” And a pause
“Now where is your room?”
>>161889"Yes there are, ours should come first. not some leaching Parasitic Striped sub-ponies"
"I Cannot remember. Do you know Blue Skies?"
>>161890She doesn't seem to go as far as Dark Star in his antipathy to the striped equines, judging by her reaction.
She blinks
"yes."
>>161891"Which floor is Her room on? im on the same floor."
>>161892"I think she would be on the second." The mare answers
>>161893"Thank you. Very Kind. I don't think I caught you name."
>>161894"Moonlit Meadow." She answers
>>161895"Very Nice Name. it was nice talking to you."
He shakily walks down to the 2nd level.
>>161896"Nice to see you..." She watches him turn around, and go back into the stairwell.
Dark Star eventually arrives on the second floor, where he thinks Blue Sky's room is
>>161898Muscle memory lets him know it's so far down from the stairwell.
Dark Star finds the door is unlocked, and the light inside is off.
>>161900The table is messy as per usual. A glass of alcohol is mostly empty on top of the table, room temperature, and it gives off a slight odor as he walks by.
There in the bed, the pillows are arranged differently, with one pillow in its normal place and another perpendicular to the head of the bed. Dark Star can see, half covered, a pony curled up in a ball, with a mane that just barely comes up and over the edge of the covers.
>>161901He picks up the glass and finishes off the drink.
>>161902It's room temperature, the base drink must be some kind of fruit spirit. It seems a little watered down. Evidently there was ice in the glass at some point earlier.
>>161903He smacks his lips slightly at the taste.
He walks over takes off his saddle bag and then walk over and sits on the edge of the bed.
>>161904Dark Star unloads his baggage,
but sadly, not the pain and sits down on the edge.
A head pops up.
>>161905He looks over at the head.
>>161906Dark Star recognizes the head, with two curious ears and relatively short mane.
"Darkie?"
>>161907He Smiles
"Yea it's me. Sorry for waking you."
>>161908She lays her head straight out, her chin resting on the bed.
>>161909He Kisses her on the tip of the snoot
>>161910snoot is kissedShe moves back a half inch, and looks up to Dark Star with her turquoise eyes.
>>161911He smiles at Her
"Have i ever told you how much i love your eyes?"
>>161912She smiles back.
"I'm not sure. Why don't you tell me?"
>>161913"I do, they are more beautiful than all the Gems in Griffonstone."
>>161915He laughs
"Yea it is."
He kisses her on the tip of the nose.
>>161916She smiles, giggles, and moves her lips to kiss him back.
>>161917He slips into the bed next to Her. and Holds Her.
>>161918As Blue Skies is laying in a curled up position across the bed, Dark Star must rearrange the pony to be able to truly lie next to her. And to hold her.
>>161919He does so, and holds her
>>161920pony is heldHe can feel the cold, short fur on her chest and the feathers on her wings, Her ears twitch and make contact with his muzzle. She folds her forelegs so that that wrap over his forelegs.
She coos.
>>161921He Nuzzles his face against hers
"You're Freezing."
>>161922cooDoes Dark Star position her to face him, or does he have her back to him?
"Well then you better warm me up." She says
>>161924>>161923He positions her to where she is facing away from her, spooning her
>>161925pony is spoonedShe does not open her wings, fortunately for Dark Star.
Perhaps Dark Star appreciates doing the spooning over being spooned, as was his experience earlier in the night.
>>161926>Perhaps Dark Star appreciates doing the spooning over being spooned, as was his experience earlier in the night.Perhaps
He wraps his forelegs around her
>>161927pony is wrappedShe purrs, and he has a feel of the soft, cold fur and wings,
>>161928He kisses the side of Her face, on the cheek
>>161861He does focus on her unusual, kirin horn upon closer examination. Out of curiosity he touches it with a forehoof.
"So intricate...how did kirins acquire horns like this, I wonder?"
>>161932“We grow them.” She answers
>>161933The curious unicorn continues to poke and touch her horn.
Is a cute pony
Hopes to continue
>>161935D’awwww
Amber’s circumstances are a little more complicated and require a little more mental energy. I’ll get to her after work today.>>161934She 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.
>>161938“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.
>>161939Oh, 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.
>>161940It 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.
>>161941"What do you think of mine? It is bit small for my size, but..."
>>161942“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.
>>161943Is there a way he can manuveur his head so his horn is in her view?
>>161944He’d have to move all the way around her. It would be easier to maneuver her.
>>161945Hmm...very well then, he maneuvers the kirin.
>>161946kirin is maneuveredIf 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.
>>161947There 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.
>>161948She takes the frog of her hoof, and presses it against the tip. Then, she rubs it up and down the length of his horn.
>>161949Silver blushes a bit from the contact. As she rubs she can feel an almost static-like feeling eminating from it. The skin is pulled very taut over the boney appendage.
>>161950She leans in a little closer, and taps it twice.
>>161951tap tapThe static feeling becomes a bit more familiar to her. It's the feeling of magic, flowing through his head and horn.
>>161953As she rubs, the staticy magic feeling slowly and gently increases in strength.
>>161954She whips her tail up, and rubs it still more so
>>161955Silver's blush intesifies along with the feeling of magic until a minute, harmless jolt of magic runs up her foreleg.
>>161956“Ah!”
She jumps back, clearly startled, then moves her head closer, curious, and finally giggles,
“Hehehe”
>>161957He chuckles as well.
"That is unicorn magic for you. Mine is...but underdeveloped. My father was Earth Pony so I never got to practice magic in my youth."
>>161958“What spells do you know?” She asks flatly
>>161959"Eh...levitation and light."
He demonstrates by levitating an object in the room and setting it back down, and using the light from his horn to light up a small area around them.
>>161960She watches the object, her head moving up and down as she watches the object. She moves her head back abd closes her eyes briefly at the light, but then opens it again.
“Is that… less than most unicorns?” She asks
>>161961"Little bit. Most know three or four, often related to their cutie mark. I
can try to form my magic into shape of certain objects, but it is not really spell. However, I do feel far closer to my Earth Pony roots, and Earth Pony magic."
>>161962“What is this ‘Earth Pony’? The hornless, wingless ones?”
>>161963Silver 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."
>>161964“What kind of connection? A spiritual connection?”
>>161965"It is very much like that. It is connection to world itself and all that calls it home, to simplify it greatly."
>>161967"What does what do? Earth Ponies?"
>>161969"Well, traditionally, most farms in Equestria are owned and operated by Earth Ponies because their magic makes them best farmers, and some use their magic to aid in rock farming and mining minerals. But Earth Ponies are adept at very many different vocations. My father was blacksmith, after all."
>>161970“Oh. Okay.” She says, looking at Silver
>>161971"In ancient days, Earth Ponies had their own fighting styles, utilizing their unique Earth Pony magic to aid them. My father taught my lot about them."
>>161972She shifts her hooves around on the bed.
“Earth pony fighting styles? How is that different?”
>>161973"I can show you if you want."
>>161974She looks up to Silver with evident curiosity.
“You can do that inside? Wouldn’t you break something?”
>>161975"I can, I will just avoid more flamboyant moves."
>>161976“Okay.” She says. “Show me.”
>>161977Silver 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.
>>161978Khoi moves over so that she lays on the bed facing Silver, with her hooves just barely hanging off the edge. She watches the display of both the stretching and the fighting stances.
>>161979When he finishes, he takes a cooling stance, and looks over at Khoi with a smile.
"So...what do you think?"
>>161980"Interesting." She says. "I've seen you fight."
>>161981"Yes, but maybe you have not actually
seen way I fight before?"
>>161983He smiles, and gets back into bed with her.
"Did you like it?"
>>161984And so Silver is back n bed with the kirin.
"I respect the ways of the warrior. I have wielded hammer, rifle, and gauze... I do not like it."
>>161931How long does it take a pony to get a pack of playing cards?
"Well... maybe a little."
>>161985"You are superb warrior, and excellent healer. I know you do not like it, but I am glad you are. I do not think wound on my back would have healed as well as it has without your work."
>>161987She gives a weak smile, and is silent for several seconds.
"Thank you..."
>>161988He scoots over to once again make full-body contact cuddling with her, and holds her close and tight.
"No, thank you, Khoi."
>>161989She makes a whimpering sound, almost like crying. She leans her head against Silver and presses into him.
>>161990He looks at his cuddling partner.
"Are you okay? That sounded like crying."
>>161991She seems to actively desire cuddles right now, rather than merely passively submit to them. She presses her head against Silver, blocking her eyes.
>>161992Wow, what a pleasant change! Silver gladly cuddles his cuddle-hungry kirin, as much or as intensely as she desires.
>>161993squeakShe does seem to be passively crying though.
>>161994He does still look at her with concern.
"...are you okay?"
>>161986Who knows? it could take all night.
He Smiles
"Well i missed you a lot for what its worth."
>>161996She smiles with her mouth closed
"I knew you would.' She says
>>161995She holds on to the giant, fluffy pillow.
"One of the principles of the seven-fold way is to not kill. I don't know if I killed any creature. I do not think I did. I do not believe I did... But I swung at them. I hit them. I shot at that wicked unicorn... I got hit by that wicked unicorn. If I had not lost control I would be maimed or dead. And then what I saw on that marble table. All of what I saw in Cue Song, on the beds, in the collapsed houses, what I heard at night...."
>>161998He pets his poor kirin's mane.
"They did not hold to seven-fold way and attacked you. You did nothing wrong by defending yourself. If you did not, you would not be here."
>>162000cooShe moves a bit forward, and straightens her back to Dark Star. Her wings partly extend.
>>161999https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KmslaEudR3M"But it is not in keeping with the ways. And maybe I should have stayed..."
She trails off. She moves closer, to let him pet her mane
>>162001He continues rubbing her back putting extra pressure in some places, paying extra attention to the base of Her wings.
>>162001"Do ways have stance on self-defense?"
pet pet pet"I am glad you lived, and glad you came. You are kind, caring, smart, beautiful mare that this country and world needs more of. I had so much fun tonight with you on date, I am extraordinarily glad to have gotten opportunity to meet you, and I can not think of better mare anypony could possibly marry."
>>162003"Not really." She answers
he extends her hooves, and wraps them around Silver, especially with his last words. She seems to stop crying.
>>162002She starts to unfurl her wings for Dark Star
>>162004He Rubs each side of Her wing at the same time, one after the other.
>>162004He continues to hold her close and tight, as he pets and strokes her mane.
"You are good person, Khoi, and you spread that goodness with you wherever you go. This world is far better with you than without you. It cannot be against seven-fold way to defend yourself when this world's villians attempt to kill you and deprive world of that goodness."
>>162006“It still feels like a betrayal.”
She whimpers
“And to leave…”
>>162007pet pet pet"It is not betrayal, especially not to leave. You were thinking of your family, giving them place to live where they can thrive away from war. And we will do that, together. I promise you."
>>162008kirin is pet pet petHer mane is rather long, but reasonably soft. She nuzzles his fur briefly, and rubs her hoof against his shoulder in a downward motion. She does not say anything.
>>162009He holds his poor, poor kirin close to him.
"I am here for you, Khoi. You always have shoulder to cry on or fluff to cry into with me."
>>162010“Thank you…” she says, pressing her muzzle into his fur while laying down next to him. Her ear twitches.
>>162011The unicorn, happy to be there for her, continues to hug and to hold her as she lets it all out. Seeing her ear twitch, he decides to give it some ear scritches.
>>162012She closes her eyes and smiles as Silver scritches, albeit an embarrassed sort of smile. Her mood does seem to be improving.
>>162013"You are such strong pony to carry these burdens by yourself for so long. I admire your strength and conviction. But we do not always need to carry our burdens alone."
scritch scritch scritch"Or, failing that, I can carry you."
>>162014She closes her mouth in a much warmer smile as she lets Silver scritch her head.
>>162015He smiles back.
"Would you let me carry you tonight, Khoi?"
>>162016“What do you mean?” She asks, raising her head up.
>>162017"I mean, would you let me help you carry your burdens tonight? Like this?"
>>162018She takes a moment
“I think it’s… better than being alone.” She answers
>>162019Silver nods.
"Take it from me: it really is."
He resumes cuddling and scritching her, gently and lovingly.
>>162020And….
squeakyEvidently Silver has his own personal cuddle toy for the night
>>162021If Khoi listens carefully, she can hear a tiny, happy whinny with every breath Silver takes as he continues to cuddle her.
>>162022Khoi 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.
>>162023Silver is happy with it, at least. He has a soft kirin to cuddle, and if needed he has other ways of dealing with those desires.
>>162005She rolls onto her belly, and extends her wings, giving Dark Star more room to rub
>>162025Well, you know, he has a hoof he can use when he's not right up against Khoi. And he can see how Jubilosa is doing...
>>162026He climbs on top of her in order to massage her back more effectively
>>162028She flicks her tail and moves her head up, then turns it back to look at Dark Star with a smile. She now fully extends her wings, letting them hang over the edge of each side of the bed.
>>162029He begins pressing his hoofs into her back and rubbing any tension she has built up away
>>162030She turns her head forward, stretching it out, and stretches her back. Dark Star can feel her fur, the bones under her fur, and the massive muscles attached to her wings. She moans lightly as Dark Star massages her.
>>162027Hmmmmm....
>>162031Though, realistically, Silver
does have a couple of things to do before he sleeps. He kisses Khoi's cheek.
"I should figure out where colts are going to sleep in house tonight. You have any suggestions?"
>>162032She flinches slightly at the kiss, but otherwise does not react.
She blinks
"Your room?"
>>162033"Hmm...it is not bad idea, if Jubilosa does not mind sharing room."
>>162034"Jubilosa can stay with me." She answers. "Or put the gnoll outside, and give them that room."
>>162031"Wow, you're really fit."
He says as he continues rubbing her back. working her muscles.
>>162035He looks at her in curiosity.
"Would you rather sleep with Jubilosa, then?"
>>162036"Eh heh heh heh heh." She looks back smiling confidently, and reveling in the compliment
"
I know"
She moves her wings forward, giving Dark Star a new angle to massage her backside.
>>162037"You asked where to put the colts, and I gave a suggestion."
>>162038He Moves his hoofs down from her back towards her flank
>>162041She moves her hind legs out from under her, slightly spreading them, and moving her thighs out as Dark Star's hooves approach.
