In the south in the Kululu Forest, Posey searches for a lost instrument of war. In Baltimare, Kira establishes herself, while Silver enjoys a brief respite. In Hellquill, Amber prepares to play her music to the dictator of Hellquill. Elsewhere, trouble brews.

An awkward one.

Amber nods. "I'm a hostess at a restaurant. It's a good place and the work isn't hard at all."

"Oh, thank you for reminding me. I have a precaution."
Posey gives Sasha a little boop on the snoot to cast Necrotic Cyst on her, attempting to implant a cyst of necrotic tissue deep inside her body.

Fortitude DC 19, although first DC 22 for Frightful Presence (which might debuff her enough to fail the Fortitude save).

Kira nods in the affirmative at the driver, as she uses her snake body to try to not move around in the back of the truck.

"Oh yeah, there's a whole small country of us! I don't know how many of us there are *exactly*, but it's a good amount. I hope everyone's okay..."

Mala closes his eyes, tilts his head upwards somewhat, and moves his tail side to side.

"Really?"

The other pony, who has Neela over him says "Here"

The driver has to go around the block, having missed the turn, but they stop at the apartment.

Would Posey even have feedback on that?

>>174741
It isn't super easy, because Kira can't really see what she is lowering herself onto, and because Kira can't put too much weight onto certain pieces. Nevertheless, Kira manages. The ponies tell Kira to open the door, and then ask where Kira wants things. The two ponies prefer to give Kira a very wide berth, and don't seem to want to come too near her. They especially don't want to walk over her.

>>174742
"Well..." He looks away, then back up again. "I want to go out and... do the job. Do a job. Something good. Minty..." He looks away again. "I've fought the Waterfront before. When I was with... the Society..." He lowers his ears and tilts his head down "We killed a few of their soldiers. They never came to attack us at our heart. But we were many, and well-fortified. And we didn't take a car, or kill a leader..."

I guess I should have specified if the Cyst was internal or external...
But I don't want to disfigure her just yet, so I'll make it internal and invisible.
Posey follows up with casting Necrotic Awareness, to detect any Cysts in a 60 ft cone.

Oh, the chest is quite easy. Kira takes it herself up to her room, and puts it in a corner out of the way so she still has plenty of room to sleep.

"The reason the lowest circles of hades are reserved for betrayers and mutineers is because (inhale,... exhale) once a pony is betrayed, their ability to love is permanently affected; expression of love being linked to trust, afterall."

Neela takes longer than was likely necessary to decide on placement for the furniture items. A bed needs to be set up, dresser moved, then moved again, a table in the dining area for presumably communal eating… It doesn’t seem to stretch the patience of the two ponies. It feels like it goes by quickly anyways. The ponies finish, and are ready to leave.

>>174751
“Maybe” he moves his head again. “To where?”

She has mixed feelings while tending the register. Just talking about food brought back the hunger pangs, which slows her down a little, but at least she has something to look forward to after work. Still, she maintains a friendly attitude towards customers, asking about their day and how they liked their shopping experiences.

On the assumption that Sasha failed her save, which I assume she did because she's likely Sickened, Shaken, and taking whatever other penalties to her saves there may be, Posey informs Licorice that her escaping won't be an issue so long as she has Posey's "Mark".

"In any case, she's not going anywhere soon in her current condition, so her escape shouldn't be an issue yet. I want her alive for the time being, so it's preferable that she get some medical treatment. I can see to her in the morning."
A red crackle of static sparks from around Posey's horn.
"My reservoir has expanded since pushing my limit on this journey, but my powers are near expended. I had to travel through the period during which I normally meditate. I'll need some time to replenish my powers soon."

Posey's eyes widen. She's seemingly forgotten what she's doing.
"Gloomy's here. He left the room. Why did she leave the room...?" She asks out loud, more to herself than anyone else
"Gloomy dear! Momma's home." she calls out, cantering off in that direction, leaving Sasha to her fate

Kira, in the living room where there's the most space available, opens her arms and coils to offer a hug to the two ponies. While her snake nature may or may not be somewhat scary, they must admit she has been nothing but friendly and nice, and a hug from her does look inviting...

Posey moves around the house, until she finds Gloomy in the library on the northeast corner. He is laying down on the carpet, his legs tucked underneath himself, reading a book. He looks up towards Posey as she comes into the room, not reacting much other than to acknowledge her.

Some don't care to talk much, some volunteer far too much. Amber has to listen to every detail of how a mare's cart got its wheel stuck in a storm drain (if Amber wonders how that's even possible, she quickly learns there are some things best left unknown) and how it took the combined efforts of two firefighters and a mortician to get it out, and how it made the mare late for the last meeting of the crystalline society for the month.
