And now Neela shakes her head
"Nevermind that. What do you mean 'useful skills'?" This provokes a malign smile, which is the first hint of a smile that Kira has gotten out of Neela

Hmm, perhaps to most ponies that would be disturbing, but Kira believes that it's simply an innocent little deer smile.
"Whatever you can do that is helpful. Like, for instance, I'm a skilled hunter and tracker, I'm an excellent marksnake, and I'm very good at being very sneaky."

"Oooohhh, sneaky" Then her expression changes to... concern
"What are you doing that requires shooting?"

"Well, I hope I'll never have to use my bow for anything other than hunting game. But...if I end up having to...you know..." Kira takes in a deep breath, and lets it out slowly. "...I will. I promised my mother and my tribe that I would succeed...and that I would do anything to ensure I did."

A moment's pause, and then
"I understand."
And then she tilts her head, and says skeptically
"Do you have a plan?"

"It's a simple plan...I hope. Talking with those ponies in Customs, it sounded like the governor Halcyon Shores is the best pony to talk to here about getting my tribe resettled. To talk to them, I'm going to do work for the Office of Revenue and Migration, get my name known in the government, and hopefully get my request for an audience fulfilled. In the meantime, I'm going to work on an argument in favor of my people that I hope will convince them to let us in."

Kira nods. Her tongue flicks out again.
"I don't know much about this place or the factions within, but it sounds like the best hope for my people. I'm guessing though you wouldn't recommend it."

"You saw what they did to me?" She scrunches
"I bet they were trying to set you up with me. To see if you'd eat me, so they could declare all nagas dangerous."

Kira's ears flop down.
"They wouldn't do that...would they? I mean, they were nice to me, especially after opening up and realizing I'm not the monster they initially assumed."

Kira shakes her head.
"I just arrived here in Baltimare. I need to exchange my valuables for some of those 'Bits' they use as currency here first." Her stomach rumbles. "...then probably find something to eat. Then we'll find a place to stay before we meet with Revenue and Migration."

Neela takes a step back and looks concernedly at Kira's midsection, holding up one foreleg. Then she looks back up to her. "Any idea how? Obtaining bits and a place to stay."

Kira blushes, and attempts to hide her midsection behind the front of her body.
"The ponies inside mentioned pawn shops, jewelers, and museums as ways to obtain Bits for my valuables. You know this city better than I do. Do you know of any good specific places?"

Amber considers her options. Every castle of course has its secret passages, but not only do they tend to be secret, but they are generally designed to be accessible only one way, and with exits outside the castle walls. That could be ruled out. Amber has wings, but in daylight it would attract too much attention to fly to the top of the walls. Tricking the guard, such as by being smuggled in via barrel is an amusing thought but it would be impractical. Best to be direct.

The Silver is ruffled
"I love you, Jubee."
He kisses his griffon at least, before he goes. He's grown rather adept at making muzzle/beak kisses work.

Jubilosa kisses him, and Silver gets a feel of her beak, which while not as warm as her flesh is not cold to the touch either, but actually has a nice feel. He can feel her rather small tongue as well. When Silver pulls away, she moves towards him, wanting more. She moves towards the edge of the bed and her wings spread out, looking up at him with a pouting expression.

No bluff necessary, as Kira tells her the truth.
"Keep an eye on you, make sure you're taken care of, hang out like friends do, and all the while work towards getting you your ID!"
She beams a smile at her, showing off her fangs in their small bat pony-like state.

Gonna roll bluff to kid myself into thinking I'll level up after this tank quest (only 5 levels to go until I get animate dead)

Jubilosa extends a claw around Silver's neck, holding him as she kisses him longer.
>>172505
"Sure..." She looks down, then back up
"I know someone who sells gold and silver, and doesn't really care where it comes from. I know a pawnshop as well if you want to maybe buy it back. And then there's this mare who will buy things to sell off to Griffin collectors..."

Kira cringes a bit at the mention of the third option, and her tongue flicks out with a low sssssss sound.
"Maybe let's not sell them to griffon collectors. Money is money, I know, but...it would just feel wrong. Which one of the other two do you think would give the best price?"

Silver uses his powerful hindlegs to keep him standing as he takes Jubilosa's soft griffon cheeks in his forehooves.

Sure.
Mason pulls around front, and offers Posey a seat.
Driving out, the car takes a left turn away from the city, rather than right towards the city as Posey has seen before. The car passes rows of citrus and other trees as it moves south, swiftly coming upon a town with brick buildings and the smokestacks of a couple large mills, just removed from the road. The signs announce this city as "Maregate." The two pass this city, and move further south on a two lane highway that moves straight through lines of plantations. Eventually, the road forks and turns left, and crosses bridges across innumerable unnamed ravines and rivulets, and through an ocean of mostly-bald deciduous trees - hickory, cypress, and soapberry - dotted with scattered pines. At some points, the ravines run through crevasses and channels in the ground taht expose red clay along their banks. But after a while, the land is flat in a great plain. The two pass through a town that the sign calls Bristleboro, though it looks nothing like Maregate before, as the houses are all older and made of wood, as if by travelling some miles the two had gone a hundred years back in time. Periodically, tiny little roads branch off of this one, soon swallowed up in the ocean of leafless trees.
Mason turns left onto one of these roads, which is a small non-paved road with gravel coated grooves where the tires fit, with grass growing in the middle, big enough only for a single car. The road is sometimes muddy, as the flat land increasingly encroaches on the miles of inundated forest that sometimes border the road, or past large, shallow lakes. A few cypress trees have not lost their leaves, and increasingly, even the broadleaf trees retain their green, such that the roadway is often sheltered from the oppressive blue cloudless sky which seems scarcely separate from space, by green tunnels that almost threaten to make the car disappear. Mason pulls over to the side at one point to allow another car, a red pickup truck with a decaying paint scheme, to pass, though Posey cannot fathom why anyone would be out here. The road occasionally passes along small wooden bridges, or more often, along built up berms of clay and gravel across large flooded fields.
Many of the trees passed are massive and surely centuries old, older perhaps than pony settlement in the region. But not every elder cypress in this virgin forest is unscathed, as some are inexplicably turned over, or even burst at the trunk, leaving a presumably valuable log behind to rot. Perhaps this is the action of some great hurricane wind, though any storm reaching this far inland must surely be terrifying in its own right to deliver such destruction, though the varied angles and varieties of damage are suggestive of some other, not necessarily as natural cause.
But even in these primeval forests, there are signs of old habitation. One or two roads branch off, and a couple old houses are passed, though one has a hole in the roof, and another is but foundation. The two pass a lake with the ruins of old wooden houses, and a water mill sticking out of water that could only be a few feet deep, and a roofless stone church on a small island next to it.
Mason says
"We're not far. The battle occurred in this area. Not that far from the road as that is how much equipment was moved. You'll recognize signs of battle when you see it."

Silver is a slave to her needs and his own desire. He gets back onto the bed, standing over his Jubee, now lying down, as the kiss turns into a full-on make out session.

Kira smiles and perks up for the journey. If no directions are provided by Neela, then Kira's plan is to wander the streets and ask any passersby where a gold store or jeweler can be found.

Although he kissed his griffu originally to make her happy, the longer it goes on and the greater intensity with which he locks his muzzle to her beak the more it becomes clear to Jubilosa that Silver really had a lot of stress from his dream that he needed to let go of. It becomes especially clear as she feels a certain body part of his growing large and pulsing against her lower body.

Neela says things such as "This way" and "take a right." Kira can see many ponies look on in shock at the sight of her and run away, or at least, move to the other side of the street. Neela tries her best to direct the excitable snake pony, but stops short of ever actually touching her with her hooves
"Here's a shop." She says, and starts inside
>>172520
"Hehehe."
Her belly is soft and short furred, sucking in with contact with Silver. If he looks down, he'll see the protruding chest and curved thighs and belly of a slender lioness. She pulls her wings inwards, to wrap at least the tips around Silver

"Thank you, Mason." Posey says politely, as she leaves the vehicle.
"I shouldn't be too long."
Posey sets off towards the battlefield and begins her search, strutting out confidently as she trots along.
"A battlefield salvage mission.. can't say it doesn't bring back memories."
Wait, the car has stopped, right?

Looking carefully at the road in front of her, Posey can trace the tracks of her quarry:
Wider than the ruts left by carts and automobiles, Posey can see the ruts left behind by numerous larger, heavy equipment pulled by trucks or more likely ponies. These go forward and are accompanied by occasional stumps of cutdown trees close to the road, before it trails off to a fork on the left, running between a submerged section and dry ground.

Mason insists on Posey taking several tools with her, including a wrench.
Going left, Posey follows along an oddly slightly wider track. To the right is moss and leaf covered ground, but to her left is true swamp - a series of numerous cypress trees, some with leaves and some without, sticking out of the water. Exploded trees become more frequent, and Posey can guess that this isn't the work of simple lightning strikes. This continues for some hundreds of feet, until Posey comes across a break in the path and a break in the land to where there is a lake or river in between the break, with no cypresses growing in it. The distance isn't great, perhaps only something like 80 feet if that much, but there is a break in the path. Looking to the other side, either a wooden bridge has been blown out, or a dirt path, reinforced by wood, has been washed away. There is a wrecked wooden raft on the other side.

Wordlessly, Silver ceases kissing Jubilosa...only to resume, this time planting a kiss on her neck, then one just a bit further down, and on and on he goes down her slender body.

Neela enters in, and Kira follows behind. Kira sees several shelves with numerous wonderous items. A plethora of watches, both for the wrist and pocket watches. Brooches, necklaces, pendants, peytrals, and fancy shoes.
Inside, there are two ponies. A white mare with a blue mane, and a brown stallion with a light yellow mane. Both appear to be earth ponies, although it's hard to tell with the mare as she immediately says "Ahhh!" and dives beneath the counter. The brown stallion is clearly taken aback as well.

Kira's eyes lock onto the adorable ponies. She doesn't know entirely why the mare dived beneath the counter, she doesn't mean them any harm and even if she did, a counter probably wouldn't stop her. Thankfully for them, Kira is a friendly lamia, who smiles and waves at them.
"Hello! I heard you buy valuables?"

Kira smiles gratefully at Neela, before slithering deftly into the store, being careful not to knock anything over and to bring her whole tail inside the shop as she makes her way to the counter. There, she opens the sack, and shows the stallion all of the artisan-crafted jewelry (that hadn't been given as gifts to the ponies at Customs), foreign coins of copper, silver, and gold, and (small) gold bar(s).
"I bring tiddings from foreign lands in distant Zebrica!"

"Notice the fine craftsnakeship in the jewelry, the details painstakingly working into the metal by the most skilled artisans and goldsmiths the Kuwinda Kwa Maua tribe has to offer!"

Kira thinks for a moment with a "Hmmmmmm", before deciding that it's good enough, and looking back to the pair of ponies.
"Deal!"

Neela scrunches, but the stallion says
"Excellent, let me get cash." He starts to extend a hoof for a hoof shake, but them withdraws, and motions to the female to go to the backroom.

Let's roll Dexterity, to see if she can receive the hoofshake before he withdraws. Bonus points if she can manage it with the very end of her tail.
[1d20+3 = (19+3) = 22]

Kira grabs ahold of his hoof. This frightens the stallion, who seems to think that she is trying to pull him over the counter

No pulling, just an exceedingly friendly hoof(possibly tail)shake from an overly eager lamia who enjoys physical contact with ponies.
"Thank you so much!"

"Ahh!" The stallion braces himself against the base of the counter... to find that it's just a hoof shake. He looks up at her with a wide, toothy smile, and then shakes her tail in response.
"Thank you"
The mare comes back with a rather large amount of paper money, ans starts counting it out.

Kira looks with awe at the little paper notes as they're counted out like it's the most amazing thing in the world.
"Ponies use paper for currency?"

"Yes... We used to use coins primarily, but with the fascist occupation, we've switched to paper."

He breathes out, looking more clearly scared than at any point before. It must be a delayed reaction
"More-more or less. It's required to be accepted. Tell you what. Do you want some coins? Or maybe an item? On us."

"Oh, well, if you have some, they might be useful to have too." She attempts another friendly smile and relaxes her posture, to try to calm the pony down. "It's okay, I'm perfectly friendly. I wouldn't ever dare think about harming you. Sorry if I seem overly eager or aggressively friendly, I just...it's my first time being here in Equestria and seeing ponies, and you're all just so, so...cute! I love it and I'm having trouble keeping myself from giving you all just a big friendly hug."

He holds up a hoof
"That's okay, that's okay."
He looks around
"Uh, here's the bits." He hoofs them over
"And some coins as well." Moving them over one at a time with his hoof
"And, maybe if you want something small?"
He makes another wide, toothy smile with his ears down

Kira looks around, and picks up a pocket watch. She knows vaguely what it is, and what it's purpose is, but it's the first time seeing one this up close. She seems mesmerized by the ticking of the second hand.
"Does this really tell you the time of day? No need for a sundial or nothing else? How much for it?"

It's a 12 hour clock, placing the time at near noon.
"Yes. Wind it periodically through the knob on the side. Consider it a gift for your sale."

She looks astonished at the stallion, before beaming a wide smile at him. Maybe the tales of friendship and harmony she heard about Equestria weren't all so wrong?
"Thank you! I'm going to recommend your store to everyone looking for nice things!"
She takes her new acquisitions - the pocket watch, the paper Bits, and the coins - and waves to the friendly if a bit scared ponies as she leaves the store, her tail trailing behind her keeping the door open for a short bit after she leaves.
That's one thing on her list done. Now she needs to find food, and a place to stay, possibly not in that order. She looks to Neela, once she joins Kira. "Are you hungry? Want something to eat?"

He smiles with that same, wide, teeth-showing smile that the ponies seem so fond of, lowers his head a little bit, and waves at her
"Thank you..."
Neela looks over towards Kira, giving her space as she slithers out of the store
"That went pretty well"
With Kira's question, she looks down, then back up
"Maybe?"

"I know! Thank you so much, Neela! I couldn't have done it without you!" With Neela's ambiguous answer to Kira's question, she nods to the deer. "Well, you're my guide to the city! Isn't Equestria one of those lands with the places you go to order food, already ready to eat? What do you call them?"
