Another thing of note among her possessions that I forgot to mention: a wooden necklace, carved in the likeness of a leopard.

Rover answers:
"She was picked up in a police raid to arrest other residents of her tenement. She couldn't be identified for a while and was found to have long overstayed a 6-month visa from the Twilight era. We were going to deport her, but the country she came from no longer exists, and the successor state won't take her because no one can verify she ever lived there at all." He answers

They move her into a new room with a box that hopefully, will not steal her soul.

Hey, GM, any word on if Posey was able to turn her skeleton into a wight with her Virtue-Turn-Vice trick?
Just asking because if I need to think of a new plan to eliminate Alluring. Of course, I could just go there and personally murder him, but I had planned this since before the fight, so I'll do it if I can.

Also, regardless of whether or not I level up, I'm going to make an updated, finalized version of my sheet soon.

Kira looks down to her wooden leopard necklace.

"Yes, it's an important part of my people's culture. It's a physical representation of my passing my rite of passage."

As they leave the room and hurry past the scene unfolding before them, Kira's ears flop down. Wow, ponies sure can get angry, huh?

In fairness to the ponies, the deer tends to be the most angry of the lot.

“Huh” he takes a moment to look down at the wooden leopard. “You must be really proud of that one then.”

Then he looks back to her,
“But you still need the tag, and ideally visible.”

Kira nods quite proudly and smiles at his comment about her necklace. It's carved with a keen eye for detail, he notes.

"Well, I imagine no matter where it is, ponies would still need to actually come up to see it to know that I'm not just some wild animal...even though I'm really not one regardless...so there probably isn't much difference in that regard if it was as obnoxious as an ear tag or as subtle as a bracelet. You've been such a great help to me already, and I can't thank you enough for all you've done, it would just be nice if it wasn't presented in such a way to make me look like a pet, or...livestock."

For what it's worth, even if she looks like she could swallow a pony whole, it's likely very refreshing having to deal with someone as friendly and courteous as Kira as opposed to the deer just outside the room they're in.

The black stallion comes closer, as does the bat pony. It's the bat pony who speaks first.

"Well, normally she'd be sent to the new country. But that doesn't really work here, because we can't prove she was ever a citizen there, and it seems like she may never have been. So then maybe she'd be forced to stay here. But we're under wartime rules, and she's not permitted without and ID, and with all of her lies there is no way we are giving her one.

So basically, she is Stateless. She's not a citizen or lawful resident of the Baltimare Governate or Equestria before that. She may or may not have been a citizen of the Principality of Lushi, but that no longer exists. And no one else would take her without an ID. So, she doesn't belong to anyone. She is a Deer of no nation. So we're going to see if maybe some Colthagians will but her, or if there is a labor camp we can send her to."

Kira has to very actively chase away any intrusive...delicious...delectable...hmm, thoughts that invade her mind. As the bat pony and Rover take her into the room and ask her this question, she looks absolutely mortified.

"W-what!? No! Nononononono! I just feel bad for her, being sold off into slavery like that for no fault of her own. I want take responsibility for her, make sure she doesn't get into trouble and keep her from being sent off to some distant labor camp to die."

"Are you sure?" Free Rover asks.

Now, there's not really any limits on what you could do to her, but you can't use her for illegal activity.

This question is going to sound lame and munchkin-like, but: which decision would lead to me leveling up sooner? I'll pick that option.
I am fine with either, so long as the quest is fun and helps develop Posey as a character, also muh levels and treasure. Anything related to the undead, hunting dangerous monsters, or finding lost treasure/artifacts would be cool. Normal d&d stuff.

Posey does need to eliminate Alluring if she wants to keep her identity secret, although she has planned to have the reanimated Luminous take care of that for her, with the cult of Maar taking the blame for the sudden undead outbreak.
If I have to hunt down and kill Alluring myself, I request that we try to streamline it this time, as I would be a bit put off spending two-three weeks anticipating killing a single chicken.

>think that there is a persistent Undead problem
Maybe that's a reason to hire a professional necrologist, instead of some mercs with guns.
They're going to need ponies like Posey if they're getting rid of all of the priests. You need Turn/Rebuke Undead to purge a haunt.

Despite her size, and despite being effectively a giant long muscle, she is both very gentle and very snug. She's firm but not hard, is nice to squeeze, and is surprisingly warm. She flicks her tongue, and looks extremely happy.

Rover places a hoof on her scales

Rover is comparatively muscular and bigger, and Cuay has big wings that he attempts to keep from having unpleasant pressure applied. Both are mostly soft with medium length fur and larger rib cages. Both are young(ish) stallions.

Her scales are smooth and well maintained. Kira giggles.

"Ponies are really soft." She looks at the ponies who initially declined. "Are you sure you don't want a hug? It's niiiiiiiiiiice!"

GM, could I get an answer for the wight thing, so we could start on the next quest this week? I don't want to be rude, but I do want to keep things moving, since this is pbp and things take a while.

Hmm, before the roll: is their attitude towards Kira 'Helpful' or higher, or is it lower?

Okay, I have to kill Alluring myself then.
Could I have done it the same night that Posey did the other thing?
Gonna roll Gather info, for urban tracking.

As for Helping Hooves...

"That you were! I have something for you, for being so nice and doing such a great job." Kira presents to her the piece of gold jewelry she had saved for the pink pony vet.
