"Well, that's helpful! Nopony should bother making fake IDs when there's something so conclusive to test for."

"Indeed" He says, with a smile.
He takes the completed Identification Card, which includes a photograph of Amber on plastic-laminated paper with a green edge, and levitates it to Amber in an aura of purple magic.
"Here you go, Amber Sunset."

Amber breathes a sigh of relief at this issue being received, and picks up the card with both hooves. "Thank you, sir! How much do I have to pay you?"

"There is no charge."

Amber hums a little, surprised that this whole procedure was free considering how much trouble it was and how she got a shiny card out of it. But she won't look a gift–uh, monkey?–in the mouth. "That's wonderful. I'm much obliged!"
She pockets the ID securely, before turning to thank High Sewn for all the help and to leave the building. She'll won't waste any more time to head to the restaurant.

The card is at least shiny, colorful in a few parts, and waterproof.
High Sewn looks at Amber with an expression that hides her feelings, although one aspect is clear:
"You owe me"
The little filly presumably canters off, making her way past the bat pony stallion from earlier, and onto the streets.

Amber will have to make it up to High Sewn somehow. She knows she can, just not how yet.
In the encroaching twilight she hastens to the restaurant, hoping to get there before her shift officially begins.

The little pony trots, lopes, canters, or gallops to the restaurant. When she arrives, she goes through the door, towards the bar area... and finds Salt Mixer staring at her.
"Do you know what time it is?"

"Time for me to work?" Amber answers with an awkward smile. "I had to pick up an identification card, if I didn't I could get in serious trouble after my shift," she elaborates hastily.

“Good answer.” She says. “How do you not already have one of those?” She asks, as if asking herself. “And put on your work clothing.”

"I never had one, and didn't know I needed it until I was told…" said Amber. She hurries to put on her hostess garb so as to be presentable.
I forgot that she had work clothing

But Salt Mixer didn’t
“None of us needed it until we were told. It’s just… how were you not told?” She says. By this time, Amber is likely towards the back, picking up her garb. Amber gets a look at a clock. It’s only barely after 6 PM. She could hardly be considered late, unless she was expected to be early.

I know being on time is virtuous, but I didn't think she'd be so strict, Amber ponders to herself.
When she hurries back to the front she replies, "I arrived in the city only about a week ago. I never needed a card before." She puts on a pleading expression and continues, "You're not really mad, are you? I got here as fast as I could."

Presumably Salt Mixer wanted the extra time for changing into the garb and other tasks that need to be done.
Amber can see her melt and turn away when bombarded by Amber's cuteness
"Someone has been asking for you" She answers

"How did you know?" Salt Mixer asks rhetorically.
As if waiting to be called, Amber feels something, presumably a muzzle, rub along her lower back, then around her shoulder, and then a nip on the ear, as Mustard Trim moves along the right side of her body, ending up to her right and a bit in front of her.
"Hi Amber!"
He wears his waiter garb over his jacket.

Amber giggles at the display of affection, embarrassed yet impressed by his boldness. "It's felt like forever since I've seen you, even if it's just yesterday. How was your day? she asks as she nuzzles his neck.

"So in home room Literature, Miss Poppy Smith was late so the Tinsel Twins decided to pull a prank by removing half of the chairs from the classroom-" He talks on and on, and reciprocates Amber's nuzzling by nuzzling her shoulder, rubbing his chin and the side of his head against Amber's ear and cheeks in the process.

"You can tell me all about it after work. We had best not keep the customers waiting," she replies, looking up with a nervous smile at Salt Mixer. To herself, though, she mulls over how Mustard is talking like a younger schoolcolt and how it clashes with her expectations.

"Right." Mustard raises his head, looks at Amber, and then moves back to his position
"I'll see you later!"
He's disappointed most everypony else. It was only a matter of time before Amber was added to that list.

There's plenty of room to improve, but also plenty of time. Right now, Amber has work to do, and she makes up for what little lost time she has.

With that unpleasant experience grounding dragging her imagination back to reality and stifling the fantasies that occupy the mind in moments of downtime, Amber begins her work in taking ponies to their tables. Guests are already lining up, and Amber has a chart to abide.

She hopes for that happy medium where business is good, but not so much that she is swamped. She maintains a cheerful demeanor as she tries to remember which kinds of customers prefer which seating. Tables with few seats are given to solo ponies or small parties while she reserves larger tables for major groups.

Does the work provide structure and something to do, or does the rote mundanity become oppressive? Placing customers in just the right area is harder than it may seem. Melon Mangrove actually comes to Amber to complain that there are now too many in her section.

"I'll see about easing up there!" Amber replies, quietly chiding herself for letting it get so out of hoof. At least the work is something she enjoys through interacting with different ponies–as long as they aren't the disreputable sort. Other species strange to Equestria might cause a little stress.

"I'm getting nothing, just herbs and chili powder. You smell like cumin though, for some reason. Have you cooked with it recently?" She looks through the spices that are actually available. "Well at least I know some of these. Salt, pepper, poppy seed, those are common enough. Don't know what citric acid is. This red pepper looks like it's just dried out and crushed chili peppers. I think I've heard of garlic before, I think it grows far to the west of the tribe. Oregano, thyme, rosemary, basil...those are all just dried out herbs and leafy stuff. Still though, wouldn't hurt to give these a try."

"Coming right up!"
Silver returns to the kitchen and gets to work making more pancakes and gator steaks. It's an interesting cooking combination to be sure. He makes a smaller amount of pancakes since he's only making them for Clip, and he makes sure to make enough so he himself can have at least a couple.
A short few minutes later, Silver places the newly made food in front of their prospective diners, along with their utensils and all of the pancake fixings. Silver also sits down at the table with his own plate of pancakes, adding some syrup and butter to them before digging in and enjoying the fruits of his own labor.

"... No?" She says, frowning slightly. "Maybe a week ago..?" She backs up one, then two hoof steps. Kira is left with the spice rack to herself. And it appears Kira intends to clear it out, or at least take one of each.
>>175030
"Oh, nice!" Clipping says, greedily taking syrup. Jubilosa likewise looks pleased, and Mala moves over, as if wondering if he too may sit at the table.

Indeed she does, taking one container of each. She turns around and smiles at Neela.
"Huh, I guess I forget sometimes how strong my sense of smell is. Alright, what else do you want to get? You're more of an expert in this food stuff than I am."

"Well, let me get it" She says. She turns around in place by twisting her rear end and legs, and jumping her forelegs 140 degrees over to the left, basically turning around in place. As she walks away, she says "And get me one of those little hoof-baskets."
Kira, meanwhile, has everything she needs. Or at least, that she can get out of the store.

Mala moves up and sits at the table. Paper Clipping moves away, while Mint Marine - who must have been sitting just out of sight, thanks to his lower height - is happy to see him there.
Khoi, however, walks up towards Silver, wearing a net over her mane, which is back, and a white outfit down to her shoed hooves. She looks up at Silver.

What a very deer-like behavior. Kira wonders if Neela often does little hops and prances like that as she gives Neela a cute little salute with a giggle. She goes over to grab a hoof basket for Neela, waving at any ponies both customer and employee alike she comes across.

"Yes." She answers, sitting down in front of Silver, and looking up at him.

Neela goes to the end of the aisle and turns to the right. Kira doesn't see anypony else in the store. Not another customer, and no employees. This is odd, as Kira is pretty sure there was a clerk at the counter... who seems to have run away screaming... Kira finds a basket near the door.

That is weird. Where did they all go to? Or is this just a really slow day? Kira grabs the basket and returns to her deer companion.

The customers were requesting booths, which in part are concentrated in Melon Mangrove's section. What else was Amber to do? Best to put them in Cream Pop's section. He doesn't complain, and he has almost as many booths. Or send more to Mustard. Amber already knows she can damn near kill that colt with work and he won't complain. She may have been hesitant to give more customers to Mustard since, you know, that's basically giving him more money and it could look bad but... the mare is literally asking for it at this point. It's not a very busy night. Larkhaven and De Sew are not here, nor, does it appear, is the little zebra colt in the kitchen staff named Xanadoo.

She's already trying to take things off of shelves. She takes the basket out of Kira's hooves - which oddly, is possibly the closest Neela has come to Kira, and to physically touching her - and then starts placing items inside. Unfortunately, she sees that Neela has selected rice. shudders

Unfortunately "not very busy" isn't necessarily an antonym of "understaffed" as the management tries to save money. Amber doesn't begrudge Salt Mixer for that, as it's just an aspect of business. Mustard didn't look too tired today so she sends more customers his way, though she gives Cream Pop some as well to keep things balanced. These are her coworkers, after all.

Salt Mixer comes up to Amber and confirms what Amber surely suspects: kitchen staff is the bottleneck of the restaurant tonight, and though it's not enough to require a wait, be mindful. There are a couple ponies that try to seat themselves, especially while Amber is walking other customers to their seats, but mostly it's uneventful. Mostly. There is a lone griffin asking to be seated. He doesn't speak ponish very well, so it's hard to understand him.

"Excuse me, did you say you're waiting for company? I can get you a table for two if you'd like." Unfortunately ponies have single digits and can't indicate any number higher than one very well.

"Glad that's settled!" She assigns him one of the tables for two, presumably run by Cream Pop. She hopes he can handle his inability to speak Ponish.
Forgot if Cream Pop is male or female.

Male, like Mustard Trim. Larkhaven, De Sew, Melon Mangrove, and Salt Mixer are female, and the kitchen staff and absentee owner are male
And... that's that griffin taken care of. Now thankfully there aren't too many more non ponies. There's a zebra... Anyways...
Amber does actually get a diamond dog. He has on a shirt, he's well groomed with black ears and most of the head, with a tan chin and belly. Not bad for a non-pony, almost looks like Amber's seen him before.

Diamond dogs that are gussied up look funny instead of scary. I can't complain.
She directs her amusement to a friendly smile, as she greets, "Hello, sir. Table for one or will you be having company?"

He even has a hat he hasn't taken off.
"Table for two. My friend's just behind me." He says in a voice that's pretty well adjusted to Equestria. He looks at Amber fairly intensely

There was one place where she met a diamond dog, and she was hoping to never have to recall it. She pretends nothing is wrong though and leads him to one of the high tables.
"I can get your hat for you if you'd like," she says, glancing at him briefly before pretending to show concern towards another customer.

"Oh, no, -" He turns around, and says "Oh, he's here" and is soon joined by a pony - a dark red pegasus stallion with a casual shirt on. He walks up, looks over to Amber, and smiles.

Amber's heart sinks. "H-hi," she mumbles. "Here is your table, uh, a waiter will be with you shortly." She returns to her post, worried about what this could mean.

The stallion turns to Amber and addresses her
"Oh hey, I remember you!"
Then the diamond dog turns to him
"Oh, so that is the mare. She's rather young looking,"
"She's 18."
"You sure?"
"Yeah, she's 18. What, too young for you? You'd rather that mare that was like fifty?"
"Why do you keep hounding me about that?"
The two exchange laugh as they talk with each other

She can't help but stare as she's being addressed. When the duo get more distracted, she gives the stallion a dirty look and snorts as she trudges off. With her luck Mustard will be angrily questioning her just from overhearing.

Red Scabbard: "Nice to see you filly. Didn't know you worked here. But we don't need to be seated, we're going to the bar."
Trakr: "The bar? No, I want to actually sit down for a while and eat. And not at the bar."
Red Scabbard: "You want food here? I thought we were going to Tiffany's"
Trakr: "No, let's eat here. The food here is good. It's like what I had growing up."
Red Scabbard: "Okay, let's go out side." He looks right at Amber "table for two outside"
Amber's not sure if or how he could have known that Mustard Trim has the outside section again. As for Mustard himself, well, he's on the other side of the bar right now, probably doing the job of bussing food himself.

There goes that excuse. She's not sure why anypony would want to be seated outside in the cold winter night, but it's not her job to protest. She gives them a table and hopes against hope that it somehow turns out alright.

Don't worry Kira. You don't have to eat the rice. You have other food options in theory.

"Yeah. Kind of. Sometimes. When I have to. Usually one deer will do the cooking, not usually me."

The enigmatic kirin remains hard to read. Silver can, however, discern one thing: she wants something. Specifically from Silver.

Amber gets some answer as to why when she sees they are loud, and intend to pony watch, commenting on a mare passing by. There's heaters and in any case the weather is better than over the weekend.

Amber does have the misfortune of overhearing the following:
Trakr:
"But did you? With her."
Red Scabbard:
"I'm not telling."
Trakr:
"Come on! What does that mean? Yes? No?"
Red Scabbard:
"Don't worry about it."
Trakr:
"She's not actually eighteen, is she?"
Thankfully Amber can't make out any more than that before she returns to her post.

Amber could strangle that stallion–if she knew how to do that with hooves, and if he wasn't a detective and under somewhat greater legal protection. She mulls over the unpleasant conversation she is bound to have with Mustard after work, and tries to think of different things to say that wouldn't make him more upset while protecting her own oath of silence. Of all the restaurants in Baltimare, and that playcolt had to stop at this one!
She looks to see how possible it might be to sneak into the kitchen.

Amber could learn how to.
Sneaking into the kitchen is not very difficult. The only, or at least main chef is a lone stallion, and he pays less attention to Amber than that zebra did. There aren't that many customers coming in for Amber's absence to be noticed, the waiters regularly come up to the kitchen, and one entrance is near the bathrooms. The only difficulty is that Amber would have to pass near Salt Mixer on either side of the bar.

Why rush a good plan? The perfect is the enemy of the good, or so somepony said; she's not sure who. Amber is not a vengeful mare by nature but Red Scabbard has caused enough grief for her.

Silver undresses the kylan, and can feel those smooth scales that move in as he pets, and reflect light slightly differently as they move with the movement of his hoof. Silver may also have access now to her chest floof, and possibly even her belly.

For a bit more clarity, the specific quest in mind is one with the following premise: the New Mareland Navy is contracting mercenaries to try to rescue the crew of a an airship that crashed while following a Stalliongrad Freighter in the rocky sea up north, on a deserted island that is disputed territory between three nations.

Then Posey begins interrogating her as soon as she in in condition to answer questions.
She prepares for this my attending to her mane and making sure her only black cape is well cleaned. She sharpens her implements and polishes her jewelry as she prepares to question the dog.
She enters Sasha's chambers, failing to resist the urge to habitually knock before she quickly invites herself in, walking inside with a flutter of her cape, her golden eyes glowing with their sharp predatory aura, as her entropic aura tangibly sucks the energy out of the room with an ominous chill.
"And so we meet again, bitch." She says
Behind her, the Dreads, animated from the severed arms of the diamond dogs, guard the exit behind her, brandishing her magic sword and polearms.
"It appears that you've survived your stay so far. I'll have to extend my thanks to Baka."

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.

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?

>And they were not in any bitches way. Not the damned unions, not the fascists, and not any 'magician'."

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."

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 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...

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.

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.

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 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.

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.

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.
