She slips through the knobless kitchen door without much incident and attempts to stay out of eyeshot of the cook(s) without making it obvious she's hiding. She also takes stock of the area. Are there any waiters in the room? Is there any way to see what orders have been placed (presumably she has a decent understanding by now of how tables are numbered)? And, where are the spices kept?

>Do they normally sweat?
shrugs
The point is that she is shivering, panting, or otherwise displaying signs of a fever or elevated body temperature.
"I have told you. I am Sasha." After a few seconds, "Who the fuck are you?"

Posey elaborates
"Is Sasha your full name? What is your occupation? Where are you from? Why were you being held captive by members of your kind? What were you worth to them?"
>"Who the fuck are you?"
Hmmm, not sure if charmed
"I am Rosey Ring, a sorceress, something that someponies might call a black magician. I was traveling through the big on an important mission, and those... other dogs got in my way."

Wait, why did I just tell the prisoner my real name? I didn't need to do that... I guess that's Posey's vanity speaking.
I guess she could always just kill her.

There are no waiters at the moment. There is a little counter near the door where orders are placed and food waits for pick up. Orders are placed by means of paper notes. There are two ponies in the room. One is the marmalade-colored unicorn that Amber could guess is probably the head chef. He is tending to a pan on the stove. The other is a sand colored earth pony colt on the other side of the rectangular room opening a pantry and taking out a bag of potatoes. Amber hasn't seen him before, and it isn't clear if he's been here on the previous days or if he is filling the same role as the zebra colt, who is not here. Both ponies are distracted... for the moment. Amber is at the entrance, and again, could easily be mistaken for Mustard Trim or Cream Pop if you didn't bother to look directly at her. Amber can tell what orders are placed, and yes, she has enough familiarity with the table numbering system that she can more or less visualize where specific orders came from. Mostly.
The spices are presumably kept on one of the high shelves. It appears they are most likely above a shelf opposite where the marmalade unicorn is working. There is an island in the center of the kitchen. Technically two, as there is an open space in the middle.

"Sasha Bearing. I was a stacker at a plantation before I joined Rudy and Marlow. I was not 'captive'. They were helping me. I was lover to Rudy and friend to Marlow. And they were not in any bitches way. Not the damned unions, not the fascists, and not any 'magician'."
>>175112
There's a clip from Archer that's perfect for this, but I can't find it on youtube.
But I completely believe that Posey gives up her real name easily.

If Amber was a little less focused on what she was doing, she would take note of how many ponies working at the restaurant are varying shades of orange and yellow.
Getting to the spices is a tough task. She is not a unicorn, and her short stature means she needs something like a stepping stool. Standing on one of the islands, besides being unsanitary, would be quite noticeable, and simply asking the chef would arouse suspicion. A small stool should be easy to find though, right?

>I was not 'captive'.
"Oh." Posey says, turning her head to glare at the ghoul behind the corner, seemingly infuriated at being caught off guard by this information.
And here I thought I had a captive princess or noblewoman I could use for political bargaining or favors. Darn...
>And they were not in any bitches way. Not the damned unions, not the fascists, and not any 'magician'."
Wait, am I ... THE BAD GUY?! Oh no.
Posey pauses for a moment. She seems mostly uncomfortable that she mistook an ally of her enemy for a captive.
"Well, Sasha, I think I've heard all I need to hear from you for now. I'll return to tell you your fate in due time." she says, turning to leave
"Oh, and don't bother trying to escape. The hex I put on you won't let you get far without me knowing. For now, just rest, and try keep yourself in good condition." She says, coldly
"Don't let her leave the room." She says to the Dreads, the animate severed arms hovering in mid-air like sentinels by the door
As Posey leaves the room, she trots down the halls and shakes her head in disappointment.
"What a waste of time. I guess I do still owe the Kaftars a favor though... Yes, she'll do nicely... I should tell Baka about it."

Four ponies. Mustard and Amber are yellow, the chef and Cream Pop are orange, De Sew is black, Salt Mixer is green, Larkhaven is white, Xanadu is either grey with black stripes or black with grey stripes (hard to tell), Melon Mangrove doesn't seem to ever be described, the absentee owner is... absent, and the kitchen help is sand colored, which is either brown or a fifth orange/yellow pony.

Roll spot
Please note that at this moment, Amber is not very conspicuous because she looks, to the inattentive, like Mustard Trim coming back to check an order sheet to make sure he didn't screw it up... which is probably not an uncommon occurrence. But if she moves into the kitchen, or if another waiter comes into the entrance, she is likely to be noticed.

She'll grab it and nonchalantly place it down before standing up on her hind legs to get to the shelf. Her heart is pounding in her ears, since if she messes up badly this could mean the end of her job.

"Nothing I want to tell you. But I'll give you one little tip. Be mindful of the Swamp Fever. It will kill you far more slowly, and far more surely than any foe. And indeed it has killed more than all foes... there were more than three of us when we started..."

Alas, better plastic won't be around for another decade or so. She descends to all fours, grinning with an embarrassed look about her at the chef, who surely has turned around.

Now that the interrogation with Sasha is over, I think I would like to move forward with Posey's original plan before starting downtime. Posey will later need to arrange to meet with Di Bin Milyaketan and confide her plan to resurrect Agire as a shoosuva through an offering to the Angel.
She also has to mail those haunted objects to their respective addresses, before the ghosts get restless.
But for now, I must slumber, as Posey retreats to snuggle up beside Gloomy.

"You're that new hostess that's dating Mustard Trim, right?"

"Sorry, I was trying to be careful," she says, as she slides the crushed plastic crate away from herself. "I just need something spicy, the spiciest thing we have in the house. That'll help my sore throat."

He sighs.
"You shouldn't even be coming to work if you are sick" And after a pause "But I get it. Let me get some of our hotter chili pepper..." He moves to a cabinet and opens it, then finds a can, which he dispenses a little of a red powder into a paper cup. "But it's very hot, and I'm sure you'll need water."

"Oh, shit!"
He immediately turns around and goes to the frying pan, and is completely consumed by that. The other pony likewise pays attention to that, pausing the cutting of cabbages to see the status of the frying pan and the stove.
But, though Amber has free reign to look at the orders, she has a problem. While she sees an order for a table outside, it doesn't seem to be for Red Scabbard's table.

Amber hasn't exactly memorized the outside table layout, as it varies day by day, but it seems much too far to the left (or the right, going out the door) to be the table Amber seated them at.

If only she'd been there a few more days! Then there wouldn't be such uncertainty. Best not to take any chances, since customers can take their time to order. She takes her cup and goes back to her hostess stand, keeping an eye out for Mustard.

This is harder than it seems, because the bar blocks the view for much of the path from the door to the kitchen. Amber could roll die to keep an eye on Mustard, or check in some other way...

Kira tilts her head, as she follows along Neela's shopping.
"Normal? I mean...I guess it's more normal here. I don't know how many creatures there are like me over here. I'm sorry if I was rude, I just don't think hay, clover, or others like that are really in the average lamia's diet."

And indeed she should be proud of it! Silver admittedly doesn't have much experience with kirins, but something tells him she has some very prestigious floof. Silver fluffs it to its peak floofiness, making it stand very proud and prominent from her body.

Neela moves forward and presumably past Kira, looking back at her with her eyes and head turned slightly back, before facing forward and moving towards the exit with the basket on her back.
With a tone of sarcasm, she says,
“Really? And here I thought you only ate plants.”
>>175146
Her eyes go wide, surprised by the floofening. But there is no stopping it.

Well, Posey did say I'm her applications to the securities school that she specialized in corpse-retrieval and dealing with supernatural events in a battlefield setting. She would have been looking for jobs related to that, especially lucrative jobs that could fund her army.
Does the military normally requisition Warmagi or arcane experts from the securities department of the university?

From what Posey can gather, the attitude towards the military at the university is rather… antagonistic. While the military will advertise recruitment and especially informant work, they don’t go there.

Posey well, Posey's job is in part to investigate the military, especially how they're able to recruit mages, so she would be interested in the advertising. She checks fliers if there are any while she's at work or shopping in town.

Posey is able to get a decent amount of information. The military takes volunteers for several different kinds of formations and jobs. Historically volunteers have little to no control if they remain in Equestria or are deployed overseas, but there is more choice now. Customs likewise will hire volunteers, for career and even for one offs. Posey has learned that some important raids, like the recent one that took out Day Low Rain’s sister, were hired mercenaries.

>Customs likewise will hire volunteers, for career and even for one offs. Posey has learned that some important raids, like the recent one that took out Day Low Rain’s sister, were hired mercenaries.
Posey is definitely interested in this. She investigates further, looking for leads of potential targets of such raids. She considers participating herself, looking for a job with an appropriate price for a warmagus of her power level.

"Uh.... maybe?" Pause, "Are there more reptilian monsters out there? Look out!"

Posey is aware of a few targets. The military, and especially the secret police associates of the military - "The Blackhooves" - have made several raids and arrests over the past week or so, targeting alleged arms traffickers and communist conspirators. What might be more interesting for Posey, however, is the actions of "R&M," The Revenue and Migration Service, better known simply as "Customs." Customs has raided a number of apartments and houses looking for creatures, especially non-ponies, tangentially related to the non-celestialist worshipers at Hoebuck.

Silver may regret this. As soon as Silver does this, Khoi moves her head even closer to his, forcing their lips together, sticks her tongue into his mouth, and tries to wrap a leg around his neck.

"Mmph!"
Silver is initially caught off guard by this: never before has she acted so forward or needy. He does ease into it, kissing back despite any awkwardness of doing so right in front of Jubilosa.

"Oh, no, it's just really similar to a legend from my home. There's no monsters out here, reptilian or otherwise." She folds her ears as she looks at the scared mare. "Can I please purchase my groceries now?"

"Oh, yeah. What have you got?"
She doesn't seem willing to raise her head very far

While Silver is into this, he does wonder if she really has been replaced with a changeling. Or if all of this affection is going to make her late for work.

Perhaps. While Silver may not know it, there is very likely an undead mare somewhere in the city who is growing impatient at how long it's taking for the others to arrive.

Kira pays for the items once they're counted and rung up, and asks the mare if she knows where they can get a radio.

Well, either we wait for Kira... or if Posey doesn't take that long for her mission at the church... She might be able to do that before starting.
Mostly it'll depend on how active the players are

"Thank you!"
Kira pays for the items, then leaves the store with her deer. Whether the mare sees her snake tail as she slithers out the door, she doesn't know. Either way, she looks both ways before crossing the street to go to the electronics store for a radio.

Okay, GM, this was my plan:
Step 1: find Di Bin Milyaketan (the chief kaftar priest)
Step 2: capitalize on the power vacuum created by the gap in priesthood succession to propose reanimating Agire, and convince Di Bin Milyaketan
Step 3: explain the ritual of sacrifice to offer the Angel a life in exchange for Agire, which involves a sacrifice check of a DC between 35 (greater planar ally) and 40 (limited wish), to summon Agire's spirit back from the grave to inhabit his body as a Shoosuva
Step 4: procure skill boosting magic (150 gp Divine scroll of Guidance Of The Avatar) and tools (masterwork Karas stone knife) to make the necessary check. If possible, employ Di Bin Milyaketan's clerical magic to boost the skill check.
Step 5: perform the ritual in the kaftar temple, sacrificing Sasha
Step 6: The ritual calls Agire and warping his body into that of a Yeenhogu-blooded, Lemurian Shoosuva (would look like a large undead hyena)
Step 7: Agire in this form would only obey us for about one hour. In that time, we have him undergo the rites of succession to become the new Chief Priest, swearing himself to defend the temple forevermore.
Step 8: cannibalistic blood-orgy (this step is optional)
Step 9: check and see if the newly reanimated demonic Agire doesn't go on a rampage to the Kaftar's and surrounding city (if he does... not our problem; cast Hide From Undead and run like heck)
Oh, and if a Shoosuva is too much to deal with, bringing him back as a Gravetouched ghoul (Yeenhoghu also has dominion over ghouls) would be fine too. A friendly ghoul cleric NPC is actually more useful (and probably more appreciated by the kaftar community), I just wanted to create a Shoosuva because reasons.

How long this takes depends on how much GM is willing to streamline it. I just spent three months walking through a swamp, but this could be resolved quickly in theory.
